Another car-related secret: Some of the signs at the roadside have got magical numbers on them. Keep your speed below that number, and you will get pulled over less frequently and don’t pay for speeding tickets anymore!
The head rests are adjustable, they also come out and are used to break the door glass in an emergency. There is a tiny triangle next to the fuel gauge, it points to the side of the car where the gas cap is. Your seat belt goes up and down at the top anchor point, if it is rubbing against your neck, try moving it up. The reason your blinker is blinking really fast is because there is a turn signal light bulb out.
Another reason why blinkers sometimes blink really fast (It's also called hyperflash fyi) is because there's some sort of disruption between the cars computer and the wires going to the blinkers.
1:20 love the content as always man but wanted to point out. It's not RFID. Many push button starts use rfid and some use nfc. But rfid is only extremely close range. Many cars key fobs use RF which use something called rolling codes. Which are codes sent accross a frequency that roll over making it harder for someone to intercept the frequency and gain access to your car. Same way garage door openers work. I've heard some cars use BLE packets for push button start but that is not something I can confirm. Anyways love the content as always and thank you!
The first one about holding the fob to the head: The head has nothing to do with it. Actually, the fats in the brain absorb radio waves more than anything else. What does help is raising the fob high up so the radio waves have a clearer sight than using it from the height of your hip. In other words: just holding it high up makes the trick work.
Yes height will help. It can also be the angle at which you're holding it. Most people "point" it at the car and the transmitted signal can be quite weak in that direction as opposed to holding it so that the flat side is facing the car.
I've tested this. Hold the FOB up and then touch it to my forehead. The forehead always seems to provide a stronger signal. While I'd like to attribute this to my superior brain, it works with any good skin contact.
@@dotar9586Why would you perpetuate this idiocy? You think it's funny to see idiots holding their fobs to their heads running around a parking lot? Well..I guess I would too. No, this doesn't work and is stupid. THINK! The fluids in the brain do...something, ok, then the fluids in my ARM can do....something...
In Europe, the lane on the right is used for driving, and the one on the left for overtaking only. Generally, you drive in the right lane and use the left one to overtake and get back to the right lane as soon as you complete overtaking. That way, the driving is much more efficient. If the road has only two lanes in one direction, at the uphill part there are 3 lanes; right for heavy vehicles, middle for passenger cars and the left for overtaking. Of course, there are a-holes here as well who simply go to the left lane and never go back to right unless they are forced to, but that is here more of an exception than a rule. But when I see the roads in the USA where people drive in whatever lane, that makes me nervous.
In NJ they have signs all over the garden state parkway that say "Slower traffic keep right" Unfortunately a lot of people just sit in the left lane. Then they get all mad and irritated when someone passes them on the right. You would think they would get a clue and realize to move to the right lane when half a dozen cars pass them but nope. The driver just tells himself that those people are nuts.
This “left lane” stuff is for highway driving so don’t get your knickers in a twist if someone is in the left lane and isn’t passing you. They may need to make a right turn!
The truth is, the higher you hold your key fob in the air, the farther the radio wave coverage of its signal. It has nothing to do with water in your brain. Water actually absorbs radio waves. Water is a conductor of electricity but blocks radio waves. The classes in physics and electronics I took in high school come in handy sometimes.
One thing you missed - velocity, or speed, doesn't work like we intuitively think. Example; at 15 mph, it would take 4 hours to travel 60 miles. At 30 mph, 2 hours. At 60 mph, 1 hour. At 120 mph, 1/2 hour. Notice, in the first example, when speed was doubled from 15 to 30, it saved 2 hours. In the last example, the speed doubled by 60 mph, yet it saved only 1/2 hour. Bottom line is, when you're on your daily commute, going 75 instead of the posted 65, won't save very much time for the 10 or 15 miles you travel on the highway. You can figure it out mathematically, but the increase in fuel consumption, increase in tire wear and stress on your drive train just isn't worth the few minutes you save. Stay safe out there.
Yep. Being a pilot changed the way I drive once GPS became the norm for small planes. I noticed that on a long flight, the ETA would only change by a few minutes +/- when I encountered a small tailwind or headwind that changed by cruise speed by ~10 MPH.
Most people drive 5 or so over the posted limit. You would have to drive about 100 miles to make a couple minutes of advantage, so it's pointless for most drivers.
The magazine "Car Audio" posted an article about the car alarm under the chin thing back in the early 1990s when car alarms were popular. It really works. Or at least it "worked" way back then. I still do it, but I am not sure if it works like it used to or not being that everything is using higher frequencies than they used to so I don't know if the using your head as an antennae works still.
I enjoyed watching this video, I learned something today. I work on my vehicles regularly,yet I was not aware of the little tidbits. Interesting vid 👍🏻
One of my habits is just stay in your line and go along. If it is slower, it's much slower. One of my favorite peeves is people who swing out to pass just as the traffic is speeding up again, such as at a merge. They end up in the left lane going the same speed as the right lane.
18:15 - I actually think about motion parallax all the time when I'm in the car, remembering to look at the mountains and not the gravel has saved me from losing my lunch many times.
I remember when I was very young, I couldn't figure out how the moon always seemed to follow me. Parallax! Duh. Oh and try going over 30 mph in a very low go-cart. It feels like 60 mph. Now try 80+mph! Wheeeee!!!!
One design feature you missed is the headrests and the fact that they can all be removed in the same way, no matter what car you're in. "In the unlikely event of a water landing," your headrest can be used to break a side window to allow any trapped occupant(s) to escape. The metal posts that hold the headrest in the seat back are made specifically for this purpose.
This is a dangerous belief to spread since many vehicles require special tools or button presses to remove the headrest and even then it's not guaranteed to work since window glass is VERY hard to break with brute force. Do not waste the only seconds you may have on a myth. Get a keyring window punch for your keyring if you drive near water.
It's interesting that the lane changing study was done in Toronto, where there seem to be a very high proportion of lane jumping idiots. The majority of gridlock I have seen in Toronto happens on excellent roads with no accidents or other distractions, making it a great place to observe the phantom traffic jam effect. This also happens when tailgaters fail to intimidate the car ahead of them then jam on the brakes causing a chain of lost acceleration behind them. I was once pulled over for driving erratically 10 km under the speed limit when I was actually doing a pretty steady 5 km over. I asked the officer if her speed was fluctuating and then simply stated, "You were seven cars behind me, and you know how summation of deceleration works." You can't be both consistently slow and not. She thanked me for driving carefully and sent me on my way. She was polite about it, too, because this is Canada, eh.
I live on the west coast of the USA. Oh so many lane jumpers. And I went to Chicago recently.... WOW, I thought the west coast of the US was bad with lane jumpers.
Actually, the custom ‘paint jobs’ like the nyan cat example are less expensive than actual paint because it is actually just a vinyl wrap. Those can be reprinted and it actually can protect the original paint on your car!
I hope i am not repeating but i have 2 to add: 1. rolls royce had/has an umbrella in the drivers door. 2. vw/audi used to allow you to open and close your windows from outside the car while the engine was turned off.
I believe clay models will be practical for a pretty long time, except their construction will change from manual to robotic; a clay 3d printer puts down the initial clay, and CNC robots finish the shape, making them much less expensive to produce, and change for that matter.
Speaking of dirty cars I remember from the 6th grade of elementary school. We walked to school every day and joked every day when we passed a dirty car. This car was the dirtiest I have ever seen and it wasn't until about 4 months into school that someone wrote WASH ME on the car and we laughed and waited to see if the owner would wash it. Until someone added WASH ME 2X (twice). The problem is that this car is no longer in the driveway and we still don't know if he washed it. But it was fun while it lasted.🤣
The golf ball effect was tested by Myth Busters and it was actually much more fuel efficient. I think that is the car in the picture you showed that they used for the test. I would find it interesting to do the test with a car covered in Golf ball material.
The issue is that it is impossibly hard to pull off in a factory. - The dimpling is dead simple to put into the sheet metal. The problem is painting. Almost all cars are filled and smoothed a bit and then primered. Then paint is added and the result is that any small variations like that look messy and dry at different rates resulting in a very bad look. You would have to make the car panels out of carbon fiber for it to really be reasonable to pull off, as it just needs some sanding and a clear coat.
1. This is absolutely true. I've used my head many times and it does work. 2. I got pulled over all the time when I had a bright red sports car. So this is true also.
My key folds into the fob and then I can press a button to make the spring loaded key flip out like a pocket knife. Best fidget toy I've ever had and I love it! lol
@@Sammasambuddha - that's highly unlikely unless you have a dud fob. My fob outlasted my VW which used the spring key. I never replaced the battery either
My sons brand new GMC Arcadia actually doesn't have a gas cap. You just open the gas door and pump your gas. There must be something down in the neck of the gas tank to prevent the fumes from escaping.
I had the unfortunate experience of needing the key hidden in my car fob. Not because the fob battery was low, but because (after a week of zero degree weather) my car battery was dead. REALLY REALLY dead. If I had viewed this a couple weeks ago it would have saved me from terrified hopelessness. Thanks for sharing.
A vehicle remote actually contains two RFID systems, one active and one passive. The active system needs a battery to power the transmitter and it is used to lock, unlock, and open the hatch. The one for my 2019 Honda has worked at distances greater than 100 feet. The passive RFID is like the one in your credit card. It is powered by the reader, so it doesn't a battery, but it only works if the remote is held within an inch of the reader, which is usually inside the Start button. This feature allow you start your car even when your remote battery is dead.
Note that fancy multi-stage paints are still worth it as they last 3-4 times longer than normal modern paint. So your mother who always gets that pearl white car also has a more practical reason as well. The car at ten years old still looks fancy and shiny. Often most cars have one special color that year along with pearl white, so DO get it if you can. It's well worth the extra $300-$500 it costs when it comes time to eventually sell it, and more if it's something you plan to keep forever, as rare colors are worth a lot more on classic cars.
12:54 I recognize this van, we used to have one, and I am sure it is a VW Multivan so in that case, the fuel cap is actually located between the front passenger seat and the sliding door, unless it is different overseas, I am in New Zealand, and that was how it is for me anyway.
in addition too many states have winter blend and summer blend gas, winter blend gas creates less energy but atomizes better in colder temperatures so you might think you're saving money by fueling up when it's cold but in reality, if you're using winter blend gas you're actually fueling up more often and if you're constantly switching lanes to get ahead of other traffic in almost every state that's considered reckless driving
I am sorry but MythBusters did an episode on this dimpled car and dirty car for fuel testing, they found out that the car with all the extra weight and the dirty still was more fuel efficient .
Another tip most vehicle owners of the latest models (2023) don't know about their new Automatic transmission cars, is that they CAN downshift or upshift the transmission if needed. Manually downshifting during winter road conditions when approaching intersections or offramps, etc., or even when needing to pass. There are usually a lever or switch on either side of the inner part of the steering wheel on the top or backside to do this.
Water in brain makes the radio waves travel further? It is actually the opposite. Radio IC and module manufactures have this note in the datasheets that the range will decrease near water bodies because "WATER ABSORBS RF SIGNALS" The reason it may work is because you are raising the fob high up.
Exactly right. Just lift the fob up high and your broadcast range increases ... it's why radio statons put their transmitters up high on towers. Really, who doesn't see this?
4:57 your car insurance rate is absolutely dependent on the color of your car. I've experienced this personally. Certain pigments in paint cost a lot of money, particularly whatever they use to make some red colors.
Maybe this depends on where you live. In Ontario it's not a factor. I used to work for an insurance company. Nowhere on the application did it ask for the colour of the vehicle, and there was nothing in the rate manuals relating to colour.
Interesting... Here in NJ I got a quote for two identical vehicles. Same year, make, and model... The only difference was one was black and the other was candy apple red. The red vehicle was significantly more to insure. When I asked for an explanation, I was told about the cost of paint colors. Later on I learned from a family member, who worked as a parts manager for an auto body company how much certain colors of paints cost compared to others. There really is a significant difference.. So I can see insurance companies charging more for certain color vehicles.
There are other factors too when it comes to lane changing such as on ramps. Staying in the fast lanes will allow you to avoid the bottleneck situations around on ramps.
me too. That looks like a lot of work made my skilled artists, not to mention all of that clay and other materials. that might be for a small one. random google says more like 200 - 600k for a full scale model.
About the gas saving hack. Its true about cars, but for motorcycles its quite useful, since the smaller tanks of bikes and the non insulated tubes that lead to the gas pistols can get quite cold and therefore give you more bang for you buck
Totally not true. The gas is stored in well insulated tanks in at the service station, so the gas temperature does not change throughout the day. It doesn't have time to change temperature until you have filled your car.
The old VW Type 1 ("Beetle") had a "secret" storage area behind the front passenger's angled footrest on the floor. [edit] At least on the 'deluxe' version -- I've seen some without this feature.
5:33 that is a vynl wrap, and does not at all affect the paint section of insurance payouts. The actual paint is likely something very basic (either a blue like the wrap, a black, or a pink, like the brakes)
Many Mercedes R-Class owners are not aware that the rear quarter windows can be opened from the driver's seat. A smart feature if you have a dog in the car. 👍 And in some models, BMW has hidden the cup holder so well that it has never been found. 😉
BMW has a fold down arm rest in the back seat that allows a 4" x 4" piece of wood that is 8 feet long to be put through an opening in he seat. The trunk can be closed and no one knows that a long board is being carried completely inside the car.
I believe it was designed for skis, but yes you're right. Had a 2008 that also had 4 programmable buttons on the steering wheel. I set one to recycle inside air, that way if I spotted a dead skunk on the road I could shut off the outside air before the smell hit me lol
My car has a loop on the driver's seatbelt, but it performs more like the button showed later in this video's segment. The other seatbelts have the loop too, but I think it serves a dual purpose by acting as the Energy Management Loop, but also keeping the buckle held in place while seatbelts are unfastened. But the driver's seatbelt look looks the same at first glance, but if you look closely, it's a seperate piece of fabric sewn on, while the other sestbelts are actually the same stretch of fabric sewn into a loop. It's a tiny bit of attention to detail that kind of went unnoticed until I saw this video and went out to examine the loop in my car. (I sometimes fiddle with it while in traffic)
I'm pretty sure the real fuel savings by "clean" cars is people who spend a lot of time cleaning their cars usually are more likely to take their cars to a garage sooner than someone who doesn't or even possibly can't afford biweekly/monthly car washes etc.
re: Red Cars - - I spent 33 years as a professional driver - that's a lot of time on the road and in traffic. One thing you learn early in your career is to keep a watchful eye on your mirrors, for two reasons. First, of course is to maintain situational awareness of traffic around you and, perhaps more importantly is to know when a red car is about to pass you. In roughly 8 to 9 times out of ten red cars are driven by pretty female operators and the view is not to be missed.
well, for europe - or especially germany - the Gas in the morning ist the "expensivest" over the whole day - 'cause in the morning the most go to work, and that's why gas stations rise they'r prices here. a slight downfall is then to see at "high noon", and the "cheapest" prices can be archived in the night - where the prices can fall down (against the morning) down to 20ct/liter less, depending on the sort of gas / diesel. so, as a "non-european", you might get "flatly pulled over the table by yourself", when thinking "in the moring hour it might be the cheapest" - when you're taking a vacation in germany.
And Honda hides traditional keys in their fobs too. The ones I’ve seen are part of the metal hook on the fob that connects to a key ring. There’s a little plastic slider, and the entire part releases. The key can also be used to pry the fob casing apart from the area that is uncovered by removing the hook, so the battery can be replaced by the user. It’s a genius design.
One obscure tip that I didnt know until my dad showed me, there is a spot on the steering column on some vehicles (certain Ford trucks are one) where you can insert the key (and remove it after) that will allow you to put the vehicle in neutral without having to insert the key into the ignition.
When it comes to Fast Lines @ 7:20 and changing lanes frequently when it appears one lane is moving faster than tbe other....you're exactly right! The more you go and forth between those lanes to try and to speed up the process because you don't have time for this crap; you've got stuff snd things to do...the more aggravated you become. The same can be said when you're standing line at the grocery store. The grocery store line is worse in one way. When the person checking out and the cashier are friends, family, even neighbors to each other, they BOTH decided that's the beat time to chat with each other. Did mention that one customer usually has a full to overflowing shopping cart? 🤬 Every time that happens a few songs automatically start goingthrough my mind. "I said MOVE b!+ch! Get out the way! Get out the way!" Courtesy of Ludacris. 2) "Y'all gonna make me lose my mind; up in here! Up in here! Y'all gonna make me go all out; up in here! Up in here! Courtesy of DMX. I'd be in serious trouble if grocery shopping carts had air horns attached to them but it definitely be worth it! 🤣. And...some vehicles have a capless gas tank. Our 2012 King Ranch Expedition has one. ~ APRIL LIPKE
That grocery store is a gathering place for idiots. I cannot tell you how many times I found some nitwit blocking the entire aisle while they stand their leisurely reading cans. Or have trouble deciding which milk to buy. I want to scream, "just get what you always get. That's what you're gonna do anyway!" A few months ago, I literally had a woman walk off with my nearly completed shopping cart while I had my head in the frozen foods freezer. Her cart was still there, but she was long gone and I had no idea which way she'd gone. Then as I'm getting the last few items on my list, her apparent husband says his wife has my cart. Like I need it back now? Idiots are literally overwhelming these United States, and if you disagree, you're likely one of them. A college degree does not mean you are smart. You are not done! You most likely don't know jack yet! A degree merely means you should have the correct box of tools for whatever you decide to "practice" as your life's work. Don't pick something you'll hate.
@@debtoralive4693 I agree 100% regarding idiots! OMG!!! Unfortunately in the US, Common Sense is a flower that does NOT grow in everyone's garden. I made up my own phrase for it several years ago. It is as follows: The F*cktard Apocalypse is upon us and in full swing. The Zombie Apocalypse should be a cake walk by comparison." They walk among us. A very dear of mine of 30 + years doesn't eat me anymore, but he sure does love that "looks like real meat, cooks like real meat and tastes like real meat" plant based stuff. I asked him, "Do you realize how psychotic that sounds? You won't eat real meat, but you'll buy the stuff "that looks, cooks and tastes like real meat". Think about how unbelievably twisted that sounds Vegetable Lecter...And what kind of Vegan looks for this crap in the RAW MEAT DEPARTMENT of the grocery store instead of the PRODUCE DEPARTMENT where all of the other vegetables live??? Seriously? It's creepy AF!" He just laughed and laughed and laughed...psycho. I also love it when a front end coordinator walks up to to let me know, "Ma'am, the self checkouts are open and available." I smile and always reply, "So they are! You probably don't realize I DON'T WORK HERE. I haven't been through orientation or training and have yet to receive my Employee Discount Card. How long do I have to wait until I get to be Employee of the month?" 😈 They never know how to respond. It's hilarious! A few weeks ago I was 3rd in line at the 20 items or less checkstand. I know it was for 20 items or less because the lighted sign above the cash register said so. I had several items, the gentleman in front of me 4 or 5 items...BUT...the woman first in line had an OVERFLOWING FULL CART. What I was thinking just jumped right of my mouth. I said, "I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess Math wasn't your strongest subject in school." Apparently, my inside voice was on break. I didn't mean to say that out loud, but there we were. If she had turned her head around any faster, it would popped and rolled around on the floor! She didn't say a word. She didn't have to, I no problem reading the subtitles on her face. 😁 It didn't help matters when the cashier started giggling, as well as the customer in front of me in addition to the 6 customer's behind me, were laughing their @$$ off. 🤣 ~ APRIL LIPKE
idk, we leave in the morning same time with my husband. He constantly changes lanes, while I stay in one. I ALWAYS lose sight of him, being stuck somewhere on the red light. Being used to that, now even if I get out of the driveway before him, I'd pull back clearing the way and say - just go. Maybe coz he's got a sports car, but then it means that he's going faster, which contradicts the 2nd theory here.
Well hold up- white is by and far the most common car color. Followed by grey black beige. So. The idea red is pulled over in the top 2- means they’re pulled over way more than the average. So the cause may have something to do with the psychology of driver but it doesn’t take away from the idea they’re statistically pulled over at a higher rate. 🤷♂️ just saying
I can attest that in many Florida locations, prices DROP in the late evening and increase in the morning. I was driving one of my employees home one day, and as we passed multiple gas stations we did what most Americans do -- complain about gas prices. Then, my employee turned to me and said, "The trick is to buy gas after 7 PM (or later), not in the morning on the way to work." I thought he was full of it, but he was adamant that prices in his area went down after the evening rush hour. I'm a "data-centric" kind of guy. I drive past 6 gas stations with large electronic displays, so I started keeping track of what prices were at different times of the day over a 6 month period. Well, I was humbled -- he was right. Generally speaking, prices went DOWN after evening rush hour (generally after 7 PM) anywhere from $0.03 to as much as $0.45, only to increase in the morning. I'm not asking anyone to take this on faith or my word alone -- just open your eyes and keep an eye out for prices at your local gas stations' prices in the morning and after evening rush hour. Keep an eye out for morning gas prices along your commute, then-- if you're out after 7 PM -- look at those prices again, looking for a difference in pricing. Your local gas dealers may be playing this pricing game -- and you could discover a way to save money.
I spent 15 years manufacturing alloy wheels for ROH. in the early 80s, one of our wheels was referred to, internally, as The Clay Model, including the workshop drawings, because the original design came from a clay model of the wheel.
What I think of my dad (I'm 14) is that he's probably just like "Cool car=Good car=Long-lasting car" and not just "whatever, at least I get from point A to point B", and well, he is a "car man", and only picks the coolest we can afford as a family!

@@1972hermanoben not really. Just like a faucet when you barely open the gas station pump nozzle you will get more gas and less fumes. I tested it too. I held the nozzle handle wide open and got a lot of fumes. Then when I held it just above closed the fumes went away
Re: morning gas, this only makes a difference if you fill the car all the way and your vapor recovery system is broken. What they are seeing is the car accepting less fuel into the tank before the pressure is too high and assume it's because the fuel/car is hot. Most smart people fill their cars about 2/3 to 3/4 the way, anyways, as overfilling causes its own extra problems. Knowing this, most pump manufacturers have their pumps set to stop filling when there still is about a gallon of space in the system. Me? I just dump 10 gallons in the tank at a time and drive it. Easy, no matter how old the cars is :)
@@tonyamedsker213 It depends. On my car, it's stop, wait 5 seconds, start again, end after the second click a second or so later. One old Volvo I had, though, was absolutely stop at the first click/stop unless you wanted gas all over your shoes. :)
In heavy traffic - generally the Slow lane is Faster, before an offramp - mainly because of spaces opening up from cars turning off the road ur on, opening up more spaces
I agree, but I think part of the reason is that everybody immediately tries to get over to the 'fast lane' as soon as possible, leaving the right lane open!
@@61rampy65 Follow the express buses. They can see over traffic, break the wind and won't outbreak you. I learned not to follow Jaguars a long time ago.
@@UguysRnutsYou're a funny one! Where I live, there are like 5 busses for the whole city . And who wants to follow something that is breaking wind all the time?
If you travel the same highways and at the same times everyday you can learn the patterns of when each lane slows down. I call it lane surfing and can significantly reduce the time on the highway. It doesn’t work with random accidents but it does work with heavy traffic patterns.
Even though I already knew everything in this video, it was still pretty awesome. For those who don't fix their own cars or aren't as car savvy as I am, these things would probably amaze most people. Also something else to know about the evap system, is that over filling the gas tank can ruin the evap system on some modern cars. Squeezing every last drop of fuel you can into the gas tank is not recommended. When the nozzle stops, the tank is full.

Here's another car secret that few people seem to know.
That little lever on the left side of the steering wheel is a turn signal.
You're welcome! ;)
Another car-related secret: Some of the signs at the roadside have got magical numbers on them. Keep your speed below that number, and you will get pulled over less frequently and don’t pay for speeding tickets anymore!

In Europe, the lane on the right is used for driving, and the one on the left for overtaking only. Generally, you drive in the right lane and use the left one to overtake and get back to the right lane as soon as you complete overtaking. That way, the driving is much more efficient. If the road has only two lanes in one direction, at the uphill part there are 3 lanes; right for heavy vehicles, middle for passenger cars and the left for overtaking.
Of course, there are a-holes here as well who simply go to the left lane and never go back to right unless they are forced to, but that is here more of an exception than a rule. But when I see the roads in the USA where people drive in whatever lane, that makes me nervous.
Those rules apply to US also. Left lane is "passing lane" or "fast lane".
@@bgezal Not the “fast lane”, there’s no such thing. Passing lane
Alberta it's against the law to drive in the left lane as it's now classified as a passing lane and yep same here soooo many azzholes
In NJ they have signs all over the garden state parkway that say "Slower traffic keep right" Unfortunately a lot of people just sit in the left lane. Then they get all mad and irritated when someone passes them on the right. You would think they would get a clue and realize to move to the right lane when half a dozen cars pass them but nope. The driver just tells himself that those people are nuts.
This “left lane” stuff is for highway driving so don’t get your knickers in a twist if someone is in the left lane and isn’t passing you. They may need to make a right turn!
The truth is, the higher you hold your key fob in the air, the farther the radio wave coverage of its signal. It has nothing to do with water in your brain. Water actually absorbs radio waves. Water is a conductor of electricity but blocks radio waves. The classes in physics and electronics I took in high school come in handy sometimes.
That's basically how and why your microwave oven works! 😜
my many experiments over the years using my key fob and brain disprove your theory..

One thing you missed - velocity, or speed, doesn't work like we intuitively think. Example; at 15 mph, it would take 4 hours to travel 60 miles. At 30 mph, 2 hours. At 60 mph, 1 hour. At 120 mph, 1/2 hour. Notice, in the first example, when speed was doubled from 15 to 30, it saved 2 hours. In the last example, the speed doubled by 60 mph, yet it saved only 1/2 hour.
Bottom line is, when you're on your daily commute, going 75 instead of the posted 65, won't save very much time for the 10 or 15 miles you travel on the highway. You can figure it out mathematically, but the increase in fuel consumption, increase in tire wear and stress on your drive train just isn't worth the few minutes you save. Stay safe out there.
I understood completely now. I need to drive 75 mph in a 30 mph zone to fully maximize my time saving
Yep. Being a pilot changed the way I drive once GPS became the norm for small planes. I noticed that on a long flight, the ETA would only change by a few minutes +/- when I encountered a small tailwind or headwind that changed by cruise speed by ~10 MPH.
Most people drive 5 or so over the posted limit. You would have to drive about 100 miles to make a couple minutes of advantage, so it's pointless for most drivers.
Bottom line- speed is fun. Sigh…I think speeding is a genetic problem.

The magazine "Car Audio" posted an article about the car alarm under the chin thing back in the early 1990s when car alarms were popular. It really works. Or at least it "worked" way back then. I still do it, but I am not sure if it works like it used to or not being that everything is using higher frequencies than they used to so I don't know if the using your head as an antennae works still.

One of my habits is just stay in your line and go along. If it is slower, it's much slower. One of my favorite peeves is people who swing out to pass just as the traffic is speeding up again, such as at a merge. They end up in the left lane going the same speed as the right lane.
18:15 - I actually think about motion parallax all the time when I'm in the car, remembering to look at the mountains and not the gravel has saved me from losing my lunch many times.
I remember when I was very young, I couldn't figure out how the moon always seemed to follow me. Parallax! Duh. Oh and try going over 30 mph in a very low go-cart. It feels like 60 mph. Now try 80+mph! Wheeeee!!!!
One design feature you missed is the headrests and the fact that they can all be removed in the same way, no matter what car you're in. "In the unlikely event of a water landing," your headrest can be used to break a side window to allow any trapped occupant(s) to escape. The metal posts that hold the headrest in the seat back are made specifically for this purpose.
Not true with all makes. I own a GM product from 2007. The head restraints can only be removed with a special tool that costs $250, or a hacksaw.
This is a dangerous belief to spread since many vehicles require special tools or button presses to remove the headrest and even then it's not guaranteed to work since window glass is VERY hard to break with brute force. Do not waste the only seconds you may have on a myth. Get a keyring window punch for your keyring if you drive near water.
It's interesting that the lane changing study was done in Toronto, where there seem to be a very high proportion of lane jumping idiots.
The majority of gridlock I have seen in Toronto happens on excellent roads with no accidents or other distractions, making it a great place to observe the phantom traffic jam effect.
This also happens when tailgaters fail to intimidate the car ahead of them then jam on the brakes causing a chain of lost acceleration behind them.
I was once pulled over for driving erratically 10 km under the speed limit when I was actually doing a pretty steady 5 km over. I asked the officer if her speed was fluctuating and then simply stated, "You were seven cars behind me, and you know how summation of deceleration works." You can't be both consistently slow and not.
She thanked me for driving carefully and sent me on my way. She was polite about it, too, because this is Canada, eh.
I live on the west coast of the USA. Oh so many lane jumpers. And I went to Chicago recently.... WOW, I thought the west coast of the US was bad with lane jumpers.
Actually, the custom ‘paint jobs’ like the nyan cat example are less expensive than actual paint because it is actually just a vinyl wrap. Those can be reprinted and it actually can protect the original paint on your car!
I hope i am not repeating but i have 2 to add: 1. rolls royce had/has an umbrella in the drivers door. 2. vw/audi used to allow you to open and close your windows from outside the car while the engine was turned off.

I believe clay models will be practical for a pretty long time, except their construction will change from manual to robotic; a clay 3d printer puts down the initial clay, and CNC robots finish the shape, making them much less expensive to produce, and change for that matter.
9 out of 10 car manufacturers around the world already use robotic clay car model makers. they have been for over 10 years.
Speaking of dirty cars
I remember from the 6th grade of elementary school. We walked to school every day and joked every day when we passed a dirty car. This car was the dirtiest I have ever seen and it wasn't until about 4 months into school that someone wrote WASH ME on the car and we laughed and waited to see if the owner would wash it. Until someone added WASH ME 2X (twice). The problem is that this car is no longer in the driveway and we still don't know if he washed it. But it was fun while it lasted.🤣
I saw " I wish my wife was this dirty".
The golf ball effect was tested by Myth Busters and it was actually much more fuel efficient. I think that is the car in the picture you showed that they used for the test. I would find it interesting to do the test with a car covered in Golf ball material.
The issue is that it is impossibly hard to pull off in a factory.
- The dimpling is dead simple to put into the sheet metal. The problem is painting. Almost all cars are filled and smoothed a bit and then primered. Then paint is added and the result is that any small variations like that look messy and dry at different rates resulting in a very bad look. You would have to make the car panels out of carbon fiber for it to really be reasonable to pull off, as it just needs some sanding and a clear coat.
I seen that episode, and recognized the photo too… how bout that lol

@@Sammasambuddha yeah you’re right but the car will break before the fob so fidget on!

My sons brand new GMC Arcadia actually doesn't have a gas cap. You just open the gas door and pump your gas. There must be something down in the neck of the gas tank to prevent the fumes from escaping.

Same with my doughters ford F150
I had the unfortunate experience of needing the key hidden in my car fob. Not because the fob battery was low, but because (after a week of zero degree weather) my car battery was dead. REALLY REALLY dead.
If I had viewed this a couple weeks ago it would have saved me from terrified hopelessness. Thanks for sharing.
Guess you’ll read at least some of your manual next time you get a car? Or this one! It has a lot of good information
If your battery is REALLY REALLY dead, how do you even start the vehicle?
A vehicle remote actually contains two RFID systems, one active and one passive. The active system needs a battery to power the transmitter and it is used to lock, unlock, and open the hatch. The one for my 2019 Honda has worked at distances greater than 100 feet.
The passive RFID is like the one in your credit card. It is powered by the reader, so it doesn't a battery, but it only works if the remote is held within an inch of the reader, which is usually inside the Start button. This feature allow you start your car even when your remote battery is dead.
I really learn so much from this guy

Note that fancy multi-stage paints are still worth it as they last 3-4 times longer than normal modern paint.
So your mother who always gets that pearl white car also has a more practical reason as well. The car at ten years old still looks fancy and shiny.
Often most cars have one special color that year along with pearl white, so DO get it if you can. It's well worth the extra $300-$500 it costs when it comes time to eventually sell it, and more if it's something you plan to keep forever, as rare colors are worth a lot more on classic cars.
Had no idea! Thanks
Be Amazed never disappoint us 😊
Hopefully with these secrets we can be more careful when driving our cars.
Red is not the "universal color for danger". No one color is. The actual sign in nature for danger is simply being bright and hard to miss.
100%. If this would be the case, black-and-yellow insects wouldn’t be black-and-yellow.
Actchewally, I disagree. Red is primally associated with blood and as such has been a subliminal "universal color(sic) for danger" since forever.
12:54 I recognize this van, we used to have one, and I am sure it is a VW Multivan so in that case, the fuel cap is actually located between the front passenger seat and the sliding door, unless it is different overseas, I am in New Zealand, and that was how it is for me anyway.
in addition too many states have winter blend and summer blend gas,
winter blend gas creates less energy but atomizes better in colder temperatures
so you might think you're saving money by fueling up when it's cold but in reality,
if you're using winter blend gas you're actually fueling up more often
and if you're constantly switching lanes to get ahead of other traffic in almost every state that's considered reckless driving
I am sorry but MythBusters did an episode on this dimpled car and dirty car for fuel testing, they found out that the car with all the extra weight and the dirty still was more fuel efficient .
Another tip most vehicle owners of the latest models (2023) don't know about their new Automatic transmission cars, is that they CAN downshift or upshift the transmission if needed. Manually downshifting during winter road conditions when approaching intersections or offramps, etc., or even when needing to pass. There are usually a lever or switch on either side of the inner part of the steering wheel on the top or backside to do this.
This is not new. There has always been a low gear on Automatics.
@BISSEYSZ alot of owners are unaware of shifting manually.

Water in brain makes the radio waves travel further? It is actually the opposite. Radio IC and module manufactures have this note in the datasheets that the range will decrease near water bodies because "WATER ABSORBS RF SIGNALS"
The reason it may work is because you are raising the fob high up.
Exactly right. Just lift the fob up high and your broadcast range increases ... it's why radio statons put their transmitters up high on towers.
Really, who doesn't see this?
Me being broke and having no car but still watching this video
4:57 your car insurance rate is absolutely dependent on the color of your car. I've experienced this personally. Certain pigments in paint cost a lot of money, particularly whatever they use to make some red colors.
Maybe this depends on where you live. In Ontario it's not a factor. I used to work for an insurance company. Nowhere on the application did it ask for the colour of the vehicle, and there was nothing in the rate manuals relating to colour.
Interesting... Here in NJ I got a quote for two identical vehicles. Same year, make, and model... The only difference was one was black and the other was candy apple red. The red vehicle was significantly more to insure. When I asked for an explanation, I was told about the cost of paint colors. Later on I learned from a family member, who worked as a parts manager for an auto body company how much certain colors of paints cost compared to others. There really is a significant difference.. So I can see insurance companies charging more for certain color vehicles.
There are other factors too when it comes to lane changing such as on ramps. Staying in the fast lanes will allow you to avoid the bottleneck situations around on ramps.
I would think those clay models of cars cost a lot more than 10k, idk.
Great video, I learned a few things!
me too. That looks like a lot of work made my skilled artists, not to mention all of that clay and other materials. that might be for a small one. random google says more like 200 - 600k for a full scale model.
I think they're referring to the cost of materials. By that method the Venus de Milo would be about $100.
Fun fact:I got my knowledge from this channel and got full scores on my science 😮
My car has a built-in gas cap. 👍🏽 I get much better ⛽️ mileage than the owners manual says it should get.
About the gas saving hack. Its true about cars, but for motorcycles its quite useful, since the smaller tanks of bikes and the non insulated tubes that lead to the gas pistols can get quite cold and therefore give you more bang for you buck
Unfortunately the measurement takes place before the fuel enters the hose.
@@JJSmith1100Doesn’t matter but the black hoses absorb heat possibly pushing the gas back into the dispenser. The pumps are under ground in the tanks.
Totally not true. The gas is stored in well insulated tanks in at the service station, so the gas temperature does not change throughout the day. It doesn't have time to change temperature until you have filled your car.
Hi Be Amazed! Just three minutes. Big fan of yours! ❤❤❤. Your videos are very entertaining!

The old VW Type 1 ("Beetle") had a "secret" storage area behind the front passenger's angled footrest on the floor. [edit] At least on the 'deluxe' version -- I've seen some without this feature.
I hid things like an engagement ring there in my 71 super when i proposed.
The check engine light is also more serious if it's flashing.
It's that time again, to zap ya brain, with your remote for your car! 😂😂😂😂
5:33 that is a vynl wrap, and does not at all affect the paint section of insurance payouts. The actual paint is likely something very basic (either a blue like the wrap, a black, or a pink, like the brakes)
This channel does amaze me ❤😊
Hello Be Amazed Fam!
Many Mercedes R-Class owners are not aware that the rear quarter windows can be opened from the driver's seat. A smart feature if you have a dog in the car. 👍

Hello Be amazed I'm a new subsciber! :)
BMW has a fold down arm rest in the back seat that allows a 4" x 4" piece of wood that is 8 feet long to be put through an opening in he seat. The trunk can be closed and no one knows that a long board is being carried completely inside the car.
I believe it was designed for skis, but yes you're right. Had a 2008 that also had 4 programmable buttons on the steering wheel. I set one to recycle inside air, that way if I spotted a dead skunk on the road I could shut off the outside air before the smell hit me lol
maybe the key fob works better next to your head because you raise the key fob up above the other cars and so the signal doesnt get blocked
During the motion parallax segment, I was just sitting here thinking, "That's what the speedometer is for."
My car has a loop on the driver's seatbelt, but it performs more like the button showed later in this video's segment. The other seatbelts have the loop too, but I think it serves a dual purpose by acting as the Energy Management Loop, but also keeping the buckle held in place while seatbelts are unfastened. But the driver's seatbelt look looks the same at first glance, but if you look closely, it's a seperate piece of fabric sewn on, while the other sestbelts are actually the same stretch of fabric sewn into a loop.
It's a tiny bit of attention to detail that kind of went unnoticed until I saw this video and went out to examine the loop in my car.
(I sometimes fiddle with it while in traffic)
I'm pretty sure the real fuel savings by "clean" cars is people who spend a lot of time cleaning their cars usually are more likely to take their cars to a garage sooner than someone who doesn't or even possibly can't afford biweekly/monthly car washes etc.
I have never been so bored while watching a video.
re: Red Cars - - I spent 33 years as a professional driver - that's a lot of time on the road and in traffic. One thing you learn early in your career is to keep a watchful eye on your mirrors, for two reasons. First, of course is to maintain situational awareness of traffic around you and, perhaps more importantly is to know when a red car is about to pass you. In roughly 8 to 9 times out of ten red cars are driven by pretty female operators and the view is not to be missed.
That was fun to watch. Thanks a lot.
well, for europe - or especially germany - the Gas in the morning ist the "expensivest" over the whole day - 'cause in the morning the most go to work, and that's why gas stations rise they'r prices here. a slight downfall is then to see at "high noon", and the "cheapest" prices can be archived in the night - where the prices can fall down (against the morning) down to 20ct/liter less, depending on the sort of gas / diesel. so, as a "non-european", you might get "flatly pulled over the table by yourself", when thinking "in the moring hour it might be the cheapest" - when you're taking a vacation in germany.
Stay in your lane if you want to avoid frustration-- yeah. Some very practical suggestions. Thank you!
Putting radio waves through your brain is crazy 😂 oh wait we have radios 📻 lol
And Honda hides traditional keys in their fobs too. The ones I’ve seen are part of the metal hook on the fob that connects to a key ring. There’s a little plastic slider, and the entire part releases. The key can also be used to pry the fob casing apart from the area that is uncovered by removing the hook, so the battery can be replaced by the user. It’s a genius design.
my infiniti's fob is exactly the same.

7:24 Taco Bell part got me dying 💀
One obscure tip that I didnt know until my dad showed me, there is a spot on the steering column on some vehicles (certain Ford trucks are one) where you can insert the key (and remove it after) that will allow you to put the vehicle in neutral without having to insert the key into the ignition.
I got that to sort of, to put my truck in neutral all I have to do is press down the clutch petal then take it out of gear. No key needed at all. 😅

When it comes to Fast Lines @ 7:20 and changing lanes frequently when it appears one lane is moving faster than tbe other....you're exactly right! The more you go and forth between those lanes to try and to speed up the process because you don't have time for this crap; you've got stuff snd things to do...the more aggravated you become. The same can be said when you're standing line at the grocery store.
The grocery store line is worse in one way. When the person checking out and the cashier are friends, family, even neighbors to each other,
they BOTH decided that's the beat time to chat with each other. Did mention that one customer usually has a full to overflowing shopping cart? 🤬 Every time that happens a few songs automatically start goingthrough my mind.

That grocery store is a gathering place for idiots. I cannot tell you how many times I found some nitwit blocking the entire aisle while they stand their leisurely reading cans. Or have trouble deciding which milk to buy. I want to scream, "just get what you always get. That's what you're gonna do anyway!"
A few months ago, I literally had a woman walk off with my nearly completed shopping cart while I had my head in the frozen foods freezer. Her cart was still there, but she was long gone and I had no idea which way she'd gone. Then as I'm getting the last few items on my list, her apparent husband says his wife has my cart. Like I need it back now? Idiots are literally overwhelming these United States, and if you disagree, you're likely one of them. A college degree does not mean you are smart. You are not done! You most likely don't know jack yet! A degree merely means you should have the correct box of tools for whatever you decide to "practice" as your life's work. Don't pick something you'll hate.
@@debtoralive4693 I agree 100% regarding idiots! OMG!!! Unfortunately in the US, Common Sense is a flower that does NOT grow in everyone's garden. I made up my own phrase for it several years ago. It is as follows:
The F*cktard Apocalypse is upon us and in full swing. The Zombie Apocalypse should be a cake walk by comparison." They walk among us. A very dear of mine of 30 + years doesn't eat me anymore, but he sure does love that "looks like real meat, cooks like real meat and tastes like real meat" plant based stuff. I asked him, "Do you realize how psychotic that sounds? You won't eat real meat, but you'll buy the stuff "that looks, cooks and tastes like real meat". Think about how unbelievably twisted that sounds Vegetable Lecter...And what kind of Vegan looks for this crap in the RAW MEAT DEPARTMENT of the grocery store instead of the PRODUCE DEPARTMENT where all of the other vegetables live??? Seriously? It's creepy AF!" He just laughed and laughed and laughed...psycho. I also love it when a front end coordinator walks up to to let me know, "Ma'am, the self checkouts are open and available." I smile and always reply, "So they are! You probably don't realize I DON'T WORK HERE. I haven't been through orientation or training and have yet to receive my Employee Discount Card. How long do I have to wait until I get to be Employee of the month?" 😈
They never know how to respond. It's hilarious! A few weeks ago I was 3rd in line at the 20 items or less checkstand. I know it was for 20 items or less because the lighted sign above the cash register said so. I had several items, the gentleman in front of me 4 or 5 items...BUT...the woman first in line had an OVERFLOWING FULL CART. What I was thinking just jumped right of my mouth. I said, "I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess Math wasn't your strongest subject in school." Apparently, my inside voice was on break. I didn't mean to say that out loud, but there we were. If she had turned her head around any faster, it would popped and rolled around on the floor! She didn't say a word. She didn't have to, I no problem reading the subtitles on her face. 😁 It didn't help matters when the cashier started giggling, as well as the customer in front of me in addition to the 6 customer's behind me, were laughing their @$$ off. 🤣

idk, we leave in the morning same time with my husband. He constantly changes lanes, while I stay in one. I ALWAYS lose sight of him, being stuck somewhere on the red light.
Being used to that, now even if I get out of the driveway before him, I'd pull back clearing the way and say - just go. Maybe coz he's got a sports car, but then it means that he's going faster, which contradicts the 2nd theory here.
I love your videos. ❤❤❤
Well hold up- white is by and far the most common car color. Followed by grey black beige. So. The idea red is pulled over in the top 2- means they’re pulled over way more than the average. So the cause may have something to do with the psychology of driver but it doesn’t take away from the idea they’re statistically pulled over at a higher rate. 🤷♂️ just saying
I can attest that in many Florida locations, prices DROP in the late evening and increase in the morning.
I was driving one of my employees home one day, and as we passed multiple gas stations we did what most Americans do -- complain about gas prices. Then, my employee turned to me and said, "The trick is to buy gas after 7 PM (or later), not in the morning on the way to work." I thought he was full of it, but he was adamant that prices in his area went down after the evening rush hour. I'm a "data-centric" kind of guy. I drive past 6 gas stations with large electronic displays, so I started keeping track of what prices were at different times of the day over a 6 month period.
Well, I was humbled -- he was right. Generally speaking, prices went DOWN after evening rush hour (generally after 7 PM) anywhere from $0.03 to as much as $0.45, only to increase in the morning.
I'm not asking anyone to take this on faith or my word alone -- just open your eyes and keep an eye out for prices at your local gas stations' prices in the morning and after evening rush hour. Keep an eye out for morning gas prices along your commute, then-- if you're out after 7 PM -- look at those prices again, looking for a difference in pricing. Your local gas dealers may be playing this pricing game -- and you could discover a way to save money.
Guess some of these experts never have driven in Florida during rush hour traffic!? Just stay out of the left lane and you'll be fine 😂😂
I spent 15 years manufacturing alloy wheels for ROH. in the early 80s, one of our wheels was referred to, internally, as The Clay Model, including the workshop drawings, because the original design came from a clay model of the wheel.

@@Bravestar186doubt they honestly care… but the fact you took time to point out it’s too much for you… actually speaks volumes about you. No worries reading this… it’s more for future readers that CAN READ
Keep it short. I have ADHD!
Love from India. Love your videos.
Please time stamp your videos 😊
I personally found out that if you barely hold the gas pump handle above where it starts to pump gas you'll get more gas liquid and less gas fumes
Ok
You mean when it's in your tank and you start to pump. Do you hold it with your hand or click it into position?
@@bettyc.parker-young1437 I hold the handle just above off. Yeah it's slower but you get more gas and less fumes
Nonsense.
@@1972hermanoben not really. Just like a faucet when you barely open the gas station pump nozzle you will get more gas and less fumes. I tested it too. I held the nozzle handle wide open and got a lot of fumes. Then when I held it just above closed the fumes went away
Re: morning gas, this only makes a difference if you fill the car all the way and your vapor recovery system is broken. What they are seeing is the car accepting less fuel into the tank before the pressure is too high and assume it's because the fuel/car is hot. Most smart people fill their cars about 2/3 to 3/4 the way, anyways, as overfilling causes its own extra problems. Knowing this, most pump manufacturers have their pumps set to stop filling when there still is about a gallon of space in the system. Me? I just dump 10 gallons in the tank at a time and drive it. Easy, no matter how old the cars is :)
When the pump handle stops… I learned that’s best due to over filling problems.
@@tonyamedsker213 It depends. On my car, it's stop, wait 5 seconds, start again, end after the second click a second or so later. One old Volvo I had, though, was absolutely stop at the first click/stop unless you wanted gas all over your shoes. :)
In heavy traffic - generally the Slow lane is Faster, before an offramp - mainly because of spaces opening up from cars turning off the road ur on, opening up more spaces
I agree, but I think part of the reason is that everybody immediately tries to get over to the 'fast lane' as soon as possible, leaving the right lane open!
@@61rampy65 Follow the express buses. They can see over traffic, break the wind and won't outbreak you. I learned not to follow Jaguars a long time ago.
@@UguysRnutsYou're a funny one! Where I live, there are like 5 busses for the whole city . And who wants to follow something that is breaking wind all the time?
In Norway, the fuel prices are the lowest on Tuesday's 😁.
If you travel the same highways and at the same times everyday you can learn the patterns of when each lane slows down. I call it lane surfing and can significantly reduce the time on the highway. It doesn’t work with random accidents but it does work with heavy traffic patterns.
Even though I already knew everything in this video, it was still pretty awesome. For those who don't fix their own cars or aren't as car savvy as I am, these things would probably amaze most people. Also something else to know about the evap system, is that over filling the gas tank can ruin the evap system on some modern cars. Squeezing every last drop of fuel you can into the gas tank is not recommended. When the nozzle stops, the tank is full.
actually nope, read your owner's manual to find out more.
Always enjoy your great videos. Thank you.
