"did I break it?"
"yeah"
"good luck fixing it"
-every Donut video in a nutshell
🤣
😅 0:42 😅😅😊😅😮😮😅😢😮😊9990lp
I hope they make a new series to fix the cars that are busted and button them up so they are more like the civic
Bro on god he was real though like “idk wtf im doing”😭
I love these guys 😂 😂 😂
Shout out to James for handling that throttle sticking without hurting anyone or anything.
Absolutely! You could see the fear in his eyes when it happened and it was intense!
He got lucky that the cable broke after it got tangled up. He should have shifted into neutral or tried to turn it off.
@@toolbaggers he definitely panicked and so did Matt. Either way they did a good job redirecting it. They were ready to climb that mountain and I don’t think anything was gonna stop that beast of a truck.
@@toolbaggers They also had to avoid killing the crew in the bronco directly in front of them, turning towards the wall was definitely the right decision. Fumbling for the transmission or key would have wasted time in a vehicle James was not familiar with.
@@cristopherflores6195man Matt stayed calm considering they were about to climb and flip on that little mountain they were headed for. You could see matt keeping his eyes on what was going on, what broke, where they were going, all at the same time and reacted instantly. Matt saved them big time there
Petition to bring Up To Speed back?
Or original Bumper to Bumper
Facts
We want the content from the first HiLow that's the peak of their powers, money pit miata, James and up to speed along with B2B
where is that guy who keeps requesting an up to speed episode about james’ dad
Yes
The Ascender has to be my favorite one they broke, because it was such a scam. All the creator did was build a plywood/fiberglass shell and slapped solar panels on it, then threw it on a basic truck with homemade fenders, didn't upgrade it properly for even basic offroading. It isn't worth the million dollars he wants for it at all.
The way it broke, it looked almost like something they would make on Top Gear.
@@mrcolin holy shit you're right
Yeah, dude is an amature homebuilder at best.
Its absolutely worthless. Thing was an underpowered piece of shit that could barely go up hill, wants to constantly tip over and breaks the first time you actually try to use it. Massive scam .
The best was his response of "we didn't think anyone would actually try to offroad it like that."
Matt's sheer look of horror at 15:33 was priceless.
Bruh I died when I see. His face
Man he acted so fast, saved everything
I hope Matts Offroad Recovery chooses all of you guys for the Wrecker Games in 2024!
Matt=Mr. Potter... both are thieves.
I think James is gonna be a co-driver this year
@@demiller74hm?
If they are willing to pay 10k for a recovery I’m sure they will be regular guests 👀
@@demiller74we are going to need some elaboration on this.
No one gonna talk about the finger suck at 9:03?? 😂
It was super sus 😂😂
I like how most of them say "yeah it's probably an hour, a day, not so much of a headache" But they proceeds to procrastinate on fixing them 😂. That's the most car guy thing ever.
TBF those fixes might be small and simple. But they have a bunch of shows to make. So I assume they just don't have that kind of time.
2:19 Hey kids, Uncle Mola here. Don't put your body under a tire when working on a jacked-up car.
The clip with the Wrecker is my favorite. That thing has a gigantic V8, weighs 12,000lbs, and went full throttle uncontrolled in a confined space with people nearby and a vehicle in front. It's absolutely the save of the year. I'd have soiled myself at the wheel of that thing, you guys were intensely cool about how bad that could've been.
He's freaking out and hard to think but just turn the key off. He got lucky
@@horatiohuffnagel7978 I'm willing to bet that in someone else's custom semi wrecker you might not be familiar enough to find the key or even the gearshift in an emergency. I know I'd have been keeping my eyes on avoiding the people in front. That was so close, lol.
Big shout out to James and his dad for handling that stuck throttle situation safeley as possible!
James has a dad?
12:30 ish, when Matt's wrecker broke, Matt took that so well, but also his reaction to it breaking and taking off was perfect. He stayed calm, you could see him looking at, well, everything going on, and acted on it instantly.
That could have went soooooo much worse but Matt saved it perfectly. Gotta give the guy credit. Matt Wetzel is a very smart man
"I sure hope we have learned a thing or two about cleanliness since corona"
Jobe: Hold my beer 9:03
boys will be boys
Hold my Corona
This video just shows the downsides of video deadlines. It throws build quality out the window when they gotta get a video out on time. Still great videos but obviously some of these could have been avoided. And yes i know some of those cars were actual accidents i just mean most of the high low cars
Some would also say it makes it interesting, funny and you can learn from it. If you don't make mistakes you can't learn
These are just things that happen to cars. Cars break, especially in cali heat on race tracks.
@orange.juice. Yes, I agree. But some these problems happened because of production deadlines and choice of the quick and easy fix instead of actual parts. I do agree some of these cars actually just broke.
Deadlines are a part of life
@javrami4883 and just like life you can do things to lengthen. like providing longer video deadlines. Not trying to critique them just saying hoping future projects have more time
I don't know how much say James has in the video scripts, but I'm sure he had to push pretty hard to not bring up that time he screwed the HIGH Subaru so bad they needed a new car, cause he ran it off the track! Lmao
Imagine blowing up your engine and telling your mechanic; "the engine released itself."
James unironically probably saved the lives of Matt and/or his family by discovering a dangerous design flaw in the W
No build is ever perfect, it just takes the right person to break it
When they built Matt said they prepared for that with a different throttle cable route but when it came back from another shop it was like that.
I didnt notice the first time I saw it but the terror in James' eyes.
"I survive a heart attack and THIS is how i die?!?!"
Watch out for the spirit of Tito, hes angry at you for calling the Yugo a Soviet Car.
The comment I came looking for, at least someone else recognised that Yugoslavia is definitely not the ussr
Jobey: "we just got a little bit of wiring to fix. It's really not that big of a deal"
Fan who does wire harnesses: smiles ruefully, having said that in the past
your profile picture is exactly how i feel when dealing with electrical issues.
Were it so easy.
This year has been great because of you, donut. Thanks for helping me get my mind off of things with your videos ❤
14:00 First time I have seen any pricing from Matt's Off-road Recovery... he's pretty secretive on his pricing in video.
Same. Definitely more than I would have expected as well, but that’s just towing companies in general
It makes sense considering the size of the crew they needed to bring out to get that rig. Extra parts, welders, multiple vehicles... and you're paying for the expertise to actually be successful.
The quintessential donut episode 😂
15:33 The way James is absolutely frozen with fear here cracks me up every single time!😂😂
I’m proud to say I’ve been watching this channel for every single one of those cars being built. Great content guys!
A friend/partner youtube channel charged you guys a $10,000 out-of-state recovery fee? Jesus...
matts offroad recovery wasnt the one that helped them. it was an independent company however they were talking about matt from matts offroad recovery seeing the driveshaft after the fact
If you motor swap the chang li then you simply dont have to fix it. simply a completely new ecu and harness
With electric cars becoming worthless when the battery fails I'm sure some Nissan Leaf could be bought and used as a donor.
@@gannondrk Thats the responsible choice I was more suggesting busa or some other motorcycle motor which is extremely irresponsible.
ls swap the thing
I can’t wait for this to become an annual series.
This episode is the epitome of the old car guy saying "Do it right the first time"
I can't say I'm a superfan cos I don't know how long I've been a subscriber. But I started watching Donut when James or Nolan would be the only guys on camera. But now. Seeing 6 of you guys, together like that. It just makes me so happy. More power to you guys. Though cars are pain, you guys make me think, that cars are fun too. Happy new year everyone!!!
Really enjoyed this one, not just seeing your pained faces of oops to defeat, but honestly because it was a nice way to tie the whole year together to help it all feel like an anthology instead of the random UA-cam offerings of the day that bleed together throughout the year. Thanks!
Jerimiah in full racing gear, hunched over on those mini bikes will never get old lol
Cmon donut upload a vid already big bros, I’ve been rewatching old vids 😞
So the only working car is the Money Pit Miata?
Kids, ALWAYS keep in the back of your mind --- If your accelerator sticks, TURN THE KEY OFF!!!!!
To be fair, Top Gear weren't wrong about the Reliant Robin being unstable - they deliberately modified their Robin to be more unstable for the sake of comedy.
Can we all just appreciate Jobe's hair?!?! Holy shit dude someone get this dude a sponsorship!!!!!
I hope we get to see a hi-low mini truck build. I'm talking about turning an older compact pickup truck into a custom low riding, cool, and radical mini truck. Bonus points if it can be turned into an old school style one from the late 80s/early 90s. Doesn't have to use NOS parts from back then, but like a tribute type build.
Yall forgot to mention when Jerry broke the steering rack in my Type-R 😂
Really cool that u guys let the editors have a run o the cars too. Must've been an awesome day for them!
Kinda surprised that this video wasn't an hour long they have some great editors
See, the videos of you guys repairing the cars you broke are the ones I’d really wanna watch
12:46 ~ Everyone point and laugh! 😂😂😂
How much was that thing? Talk about NOT getting your money's worth!
It's great to see all the hosts together joking around. This is the best thing about Donut. The hosts and wishing you were there. Love to see the Meta Donut content.
Thank you for your amazing work this year! We love you ❤
Hopefully everything is ok. It’s been 10 days since the last upload on real mechanic stuff and 9 days on here. Can’t wait for the next upload hope y’all are doing good and having a great start to 2024
I'd be SO curious to see Low WRX's transmission get replaced with another 5-speed PLUS some Moore Blast Plates. They're *supposed* to prevent case flex and therefore gear blowouts, and cheaper than a 6sp.
It’s been a year donut c mon
this channel has with stagnant.
"being an old car from Soviet Union"-Yugo
Apparently Donut has acquired a junk yard dog... The bestest junkyard shep around
Bro it’s been 8 days post a video already
The Donut crew never disappoints! So you broke a few eggs along the way in the name of entertainment and education. Hell, you guys have so arrived you hang out with Leno!!!!
I was about to say good thing they didn't break one of Leno's cars lol
That would be a very bad thing!!!!@@christiansesler3395
Y'all work well together. I hope the friendly hemistry you show on the screen is true in real life. It's good seeing folks who are friends interact and have fun.
Have a great New Year Donut.
Lol the finger pointing was hilarious.
Jame’s face when that throttle got stuck was hilarious😂
More screen time for Adam in 2024 please.
Day 1 of asking to bring back up to speed
This year really took a challenge to mess up as many cars they could get their hands on
Only the tacomas survived! What a crew 😂😂
You guys are living the life. Love your work.
Mmmm nothing like early morning donut 🍩
That's a burnt-out????
2:58 The customers at my job 💀
I put an order in on November 27th for merch for Christmas gifts for my kids. I never got my order an your customer service rep kept giving me the run around. I haven't heard anything in over a week when a manager was supposed to get back to me. I've emailed countless times an still nothing. In reporting you guys to the BBB. Terrible service
Shut up, boomer.
this isn’t at all the place to talk about this, go be a karen elsewhere, or better yet don’t be a karen at all. the companies you shop with aren’t responsible for what happens to your package when it’s in transit and donut has no control over it
@@CrimsonsCubes I like how u deleted and reported my reply. Cute stuff
Petition for another Hi Lo series?
Where's the part where James broke the OG Hi WRX? Lol
1:40 why is james being so awkward. I love that man with a passion, bro. 😂😂😂
I SWEAR if they blame Justin again for breaking that POS truck ima be pissed.
Edit: Okay I guess everyone got a little blame for stuff they didn't really cause. But can we stop pretending that truck was a worthwhile overlander?
Agreed. And saying $12k in damage for broken driveshaft? Yeah right
@@Berm_BlasterMost of that was recovery cost.
That German Shepard is huge
that's what SHE said
You know it’s bad when you watch the same video: before work, on break, and in the bathroom at night
James unironically probably saved the lives of Matt and/or his family by discovering a dangerous design flaw in the Wrecker and successfully defusing it without hurting anyone. Yes, it was all dumb luck, but it was James' luck.
Let’s gooo! 🙏
People always ask Matt how much he charges for a recovery. Now we know.....$10,000!!! I know that was "out of state", but DAMN!!
its like a 14 hour day to bring 2 vehicles and 4 people out. Its 5 hours to just drive from the shop to the broken vehicle. It seems like a very reasonable charge.
@@sawyermoe2348uhh nobody charges that in the south or the north at ALL. So it’s basically a west price at this point
Please continue breaking cars. Loved every one of those videos.
This video made me realize I'd love to see another Donut channel spinoff where they just show us raw footage of them having fun with cars or just overall behind the scene things.
Day 430 of asking James to do and Up to Speed on his Dad
If anyone else is annoyed by his harassment, I urge you to dislike his comment and go to his channel and dislike his videos as well.
Day 430 of respecting the dedication 🫡
Hilarious Jeremiah put that racing suit on to ride the minibike. He jumped on that opportunity so quick 😂
Custom fit, not even custom printed, racing suits are really expensive. I'd take one any day if the company paid for it.
Didn't High WRX get broken multiple times?
Love seeing the similarities of what broke one the various Hi-Low cars. 3rd gear for the WRXs and axles and power-steering for the Zs
Props to James for not hitting the other vehicle in the off-road truck
9:04 gettin a little hungry 😂
Spring has sprung, the grass has riz. James fucked up his door.
Justin breaks everything. Even a few hearts.
Yo you guys are awesome I love watching your videos and learning new things about cars and how they work as well as being entertaining and enjoyable to watch you guys are a inspiration and because of that I decided to work in the automotive field thanks
You guys look like a band when you stand together. Everyone give it up for, Automotive Destruction Disorder!
Thank you for raising the price of my Subie one blown up engine at a time.
12:31 Jerry just casually laughing at his pain
I wish they talked about Zack's s14, i really miss that car.
I’m surprised this video wasn’t 5 hours longer 😂
Matts wrecker video is 1000% the reason i double check all my wiring and cables to make sure they dont get caught on anything
Merch idea: A car cover that says, "People Are Pain" lol
WHERE’S THE BEERS AT?! BARBECUES?! Back-yard/Garage tales, D’BEST 😂😂❤
17:48 - We're taking people to lunch 😂
Hahaha More pain to drive than fix. Should have been the slogan for Yugo back in the day
that biker at 0:48 going fast as hell too
I'm so disappointed Justin's souvenir twisted driveshaft trophy wasn't given to the person who had the worst damaged vehicle.
Matt's wrecker was super prototype at that point and had lots of other problems that showed them selves later. I wouldn't be mad about it.
It's pretty good now.
Homemade. Mad max
That Matt offroad wrecker is a damn dream truck,all crawler built and air lockers,solid axle and just mean...
"did i break it?'
"you did"
"... well, good luck fixing it"
