"We had to come up with some way of spray painting a car and then being able to clean it perfectly clean..."
* Avalon King enters the chat *
A buffer would have took it right off
They have sprayable chalk or just use shoe polish
"Get a Cadillac Northstar, nobody wants them.." Unless of course your name has "Hoovie" in it. :D
That might be true, but the car they showed did not have a Northstar engine.
@Adam Hayden best caddy engine since the 472 the fuel injection system was too dumb if it is updated to modern system it's a great platform
But that is a 92 Cadillac DeVille! They didn't have a North Star, it had the almost indestructible 4.9 liter Cadillac V8.
The era when GM forgot how to make a non front wheel drive car. Seriously, though, who came up with the "brilliant" idea of a transverse V8?
@Edmond Schwab you're thinking of a HT 4100 motor 4. 9 is a very indestructible motor.
Before there were Karen's?
Karen's have always been around. They are like Cicadas. They only emerge every 13-17 years.🤣
Like jeepers creepers.
Before that they were called Doris and then Carol... Karen is the latest. ;)

Ah, but did it have Quebec or New York plates?

This must be fake, he said "a nice neighborhood in New Jersey "
Oh, my man, let me tell you... a girl I met in college lived in Northern nj... it was extremely nice lots of wall street types and executives lived primarily in the neighborhood. Couple of the houses looked like castles made of actual granite.
@@brianm.595 Forgive them. They are a result of a lifetime of NJ jokes and stereotyping.
bro you never been to rumson? I think MOST of the cars are ferraris, the rest are maybachs or german imports
Yo I was just at NJMP near Millville and u right! 😅
@Chris Middleton yup
I remember the vandalism show when it originally aired. Amazing to hear the behind the scenes story. Sad that not much has changed in how we view race in America.
Flash Media: "This can be red"
“Best way to end racism is stop talking about it” I’ll let you do your research on who said it.
@@Toro-Bravo everyone "stereotypes" only one group of people is racist however...
@@Toro-Bravo its tough to change racism sure. But its real consequences to having the police called on you often for literally doing nothing, and now you have to try to convince those officers, who are always seemingly skeptical, that you didn't/aren't doing anything. At best its a major inconvenience and having to deal with the law for no reason, at worse......well use your imagination.

@@rafaeltrovao2915 agreed.
Idk why but I actually really enjoyed watching this video 😂 it was eye opening at the same time, such a great story!
Yeah if future self told me 5 years ago I’d subscribe to a channel that solely consists of advertising an app I definitely wouldn’t have called that a believable prediction
I agree, it was very interesting. I suspect the relatively low view count says something about the average viewer of this channel though...
@@karlosbricks2413 same kinda sad honestly
@@karlosbricks2413 I think people are just tired of the word racism and being told everything is racist
Oh. Just noticed the ''This can be red'' shirt haha
best video on this entire channel.
And his Volvo.
As a Speedster owner I’d Luvluv to get one of these Tee’s!!!
Wow this video is really awesome. "Karen of 2006" had me laughing lol. Thank you John and thank you vinwiki for such stories.
Karen's have always existed, it's just that now they have facebook.
We need actual episode #’s so we can watch these!
Just search "What Would You Do" and then "Car crash" or "vandalism". Most of them are on UA-cam.
This episode got pretty serious at the end and I love it. Very insightful
Anyone else think we need a John ficarra AMA??
“And then the condom broke” *vinwiki intro music starts*
The Cadillac was a 91-93 Cadillac Sedan DeVille... it's NOT the Northstar... the 4.9L motor was probably one of the most reliable motors ever put into a fwd Cadillac... a shame, because they are so rock solid that they will probably be semi-collectible some day (for Radwood enthusiasts)
My first car was a 92 I loved that 4.9
Unfortunately I had to sell her recently. I won't be able to afford another one day.
the shirt killed me
Car that incites the most discrimination, in Europe, Audi and BMW.

I assume people just forgot about the Top Gear Trio doing this all those years ago in the Miami special. They drove through Alabama with offensive decals on a Camero, Dodge Ram and Cadillac Brougham.
He said this was 2006 so would be a year before the US special.
I'm just mad that he mentioned a northstar Cadillac and then showed a non northstar Cadillac
I don't think he had anything to do with John Ficarra. He may not have had any pictures of the actual car, and whomever the editor was just swapped in a stock photo of a caddy from that era.
Those had the 4.5 or 4.9 if I remember correctly, great engines!
@@jalopyjustin Until you do an oil change with thale stupid filter on top that pours down the motor
@@jackielinde7568 It looked like the car they used in two different shots from a set up.
14 years ago?
This guy is awesome, absolutely one of the best story tellers
and there's millions of people that think racism doesn't exist, ugh.
Well most people who scream loudest about racism are more concerned about it in character designs in media or in kids video games, rather than in real life anyway...
*Dude* , how does this guy have some of the best stories?!
This is one of the best episodes yet. Pretty deep. Makes ya think. Good job guys.
You got me... I may be at work but felt compelled to watch.
These people got mad about the dog first? God damn, walk to your nearest prison.
The Sedan Deville shown isn't a north star Cad, but 4.9. The really good Cadillac engines.
Glad I wasn’t the only to notice that
I love John's stories
How did they not think of avalon kings?
In 06?
I'm joking man. I know ceramic coating wasn't a thing. Its just that they are major sponsors of the channel. Lol
@@tacotuesday000 oh, I thought you meant how did vinwiki not use them as the most fitting sponsor of this video
I was at the ridgewood park in same spot as the Cadillac last week, funny to see a local spot on vinwiki!!
This really shows us how ingrained racism is in our society
Well, the thing about them sleeping in the car *_nearby_* the demolition going on and still were the reason police was called - eyeopening, to say the least.
Cadillac northstar *proceeds to show a picture of either a 4.5 or 4.9 powered Cadillac*
Could the dog be red?
This can be red 😂😂😂😂😂💯
I thought those early 90s Cadillacs were Cadillac 4.9 engines. That one is a Sedan Deville so I think that is too early to have a Northstar.
Thanks for another interesting and entertaining video
Glad you enjoyed it
I had to watch the scene with the red Volvo in my psychology class and I was like that's a nice Volvo lol
White boy: breaks into car -- nothing happens
Black boy: sits in his car -- cops called
Wow humanity is terrible
Another great story. Keep them coming
This guy can tell good story’s
I knew it was John by the title 🤣
One of the best shows ever produced
Ficarra is an unsung hero of the autoweb
Testing racism; Top Gear in Alabama
Years ago I had my first B3 Passat estate (1.6td, brilliant car!).
Cost £110, door handles didn't work...
Chucked them, thumb through the hole to open it. Back box went, random straight through pipe attached.
Ended up at a massive rave in Trefil Quarry near Tredegar, Wales UK (27 sound systems, made national news...)
We had loads of hairspray cans. Did I mention it was white and extremely uncared for?
The graffiti was still there the day it got written off...
I remember that when it came out I was laughing my ass off at the actors lol, how much more “real” it got omg it was so funny hahaha
That Cadillac IS NOT A NORTH STAR! it's got a 4.9 V8. The last good true Cadillac motor.
I miss my A4.
Mine was an absolute sh*t box. It had been written off for vandalism damage, not a straight panel. Had some life left in it thought. Bought it for half a pint of Stella, lasted 18months only costing a tub of gun gum and a couple of cans of WD40....
Great car.
Vinwiki: discusses racism that a man witnesses
UA-cam commentors: fake news
For the kids destroying the car part, I wish they would have had them dressed the same. They dressed the white kids much differently than the black kids. Clothing usually is one of the first things people see, even before color of skin.
Bingo.
Yeah cause nothing makes white kids more suspicious when destroying a car than the way they’re dressed...
They proved people’s implicit bias without even trying when more people called the cops on the black actors waiting in their car than they white kids destroying the car
If you were in a lifted truck (preferably from the 1980s), everyone would loose their shit screaming “racism” like the average Twitter user.🤣
Bro calm down its just a prank! Meanwhile car with burning cross on it goes down the highway.
Where is the photo at 3:32 taken? It looks like the George Washington Bridge but I'm struggelling to find what neighborhood it looks like
Why are we testing it and keeping it around instead of letting it die?
Do that here in Texas and all Hell will break loose, (LOL) We don't take kindly to thugs doing malfeasance! 🤣🤣🤣
I remember that episode of what would you do! Always admired that choice of Jaguar! I was thinking no way John Quinones had that much of a style choice! But no. it was a guy from VinWiki Amazing!
The Cadillac they showed in no way had a Northstar. Maybe he just doesn't know his Cadillac's.
It's a 4100 Northstar, 4.1l. I spent many years repairing them when those cars were new.
@@mjc8248 It is not a Northstar. The Northstar engine came out in 1994 I believe. The car shown was a 1993 - 1993 model. The engine in the car shown did not have the weak spot the Northstar did. Why do you call it a Northstar when that name did not exist at the time that Cadillac was made?
@@mexicanspec Sorry, it was the HT engine but at Cadillac we lumped it in with the Northstar later on since they were just as unreliable.
@@mjc8248 I hadn't heard the 4.5L or the 4.9 liter engines were unreliable. I rented a lot of them in Vegas and they always performed well. If you are talking about the aluminum 4.1L engine that was used up until 1987, then yes I agree, but that is not the engine that was in the car shown.
@@mexicanspec I worked on all of them and with proper maintenance id say the 4.5 and 4.9 were excellent. The main issues i remember were cooling system related due to improper maintenance. If remember right the trans was also troublesome.
I remember that episode with the vandalism. And how screwed up it was. Still happens today, though.
Also, people will literally kill themselves over a canine.
I love Honda Nighthawks. I want a 1982 Honda Nighthawk 650 so bad.
I remember the dog and baby one and now I know who built that car for that shoot.
That racist thing is incredibly upsetting
Great classic volvo
Hello....my name is John Quinones.
.
This was a great one
The Volvo in the thumbnail is what got my attention.
Some people can drive perfectly after drinking a small barell of wine, yet most people shouldn't even be allowed to drive sober.
Don't try to argue that kinda thing - it's like any other controversial idea when those Karens gain the majority's opinion with an intrusive idea. Be it smoking, eating meat, having a few, taking drugs - there are always people knowing exactly what *_You_* gotta do, and with DUI it's very, VERY dedicated what they want You to do. I suspect that dedication to grow with their own incapability to drive considerately and with foresight even when sober .....
Right on dudes. Why I stay subbed.
I always wanted to know how many people don't sign a release for these hidden camera shows
When I hear a car and racism I remember that scene from Man in Black (?) where Will Smith explains that not everyone black,who drives a nice car, has stolen it. But he had...
😂
I don't remember that in MIB1 or 2... HOWEVER, it was an episode of Fresh Prince of Bel Aire, where Carlton and Will got pulled over and arrested for suspicion of car theft for driving Carlton's father's car.
@@jackielinde7568 Ah, I remember that scene too. I think it was in MiB 3 where he travels back in time.
That year Cadillac is before northstar engine
That's sad, 1. Nobody does anything about the baby, and 2. The african american kids got the cops called on them while the caucasian kids were committing a crime!
Maybe they should try it again in a different part of town. At this point it's not science it's one reference point.
@@timothydillon6421 true, if they want an accurate sample size it has to be done more than once, but it still scares me that people would react differently just based on something as trivial as skin color
Have you seen the caucasian kids... they look like toddlers
@@timothydillon6421 no need. Answer 911 calls for a week and see how many times "suspicious black male looking in cars" ends up being joe shmoe going for a walk.
@@timothydillon6421 lol its cute how naive you are
I remember seeing the actual show that the “racist” car incident happened. I can’t remember what it was though.
Holy shit I remember watching that episode. Fucked up
RIDGEWOOD! I used to take the train there from a few towns over to skate.
That sounds like a ton of fun. Great story.
But can you test racism to build a car?
The Crown Vic could have been red.
once they fixed the head bolts the northstar became one of the most reliable engines on the market
Saw this in what would you do? Good episode lol
Playing hide and go seek as a kid, I hid in the same area of a station wagon for hours in 100+ degrees.
Of course my brothers had lost interest and gone to play something else.
But I won.🥳
Any other Volvo people out there just happy to see one on Vinwiki
Would’ve been more believable if it was a camaro backing into the Jaguar, those drivers don’t care about anyone but themselves
Also, they can't see out.
I assume that's a '93 Deville maybe? Those didn't come with the Northstar unless you'd bought a '96 and misremembered.
Hahaha. When I was in my early twenties I had a friend that had the breathalyzer thing in his car and he would do that exact thing for real. He would go drink at a bar and call someone to come blow in it so he could drive home. Wow I thought it was just me that had experienced something like this.
wait was john the same guy that made a neon look like it gets crushed by a meteor? took the hood off and had a smoking rock in place?
Man that motorcycle is absolutely beautiful.
No surprise about the dog, humans have a very special relationship with dogs, other humans not so much 😂
I remember watching that show lol
I live near Ridgewood NJ. That kind of reaction is not surprising at all. To be fair, a lot of the people go to that park from all over the county, not just people from Ridgewood. Either way, not the least bit surprising cops were called on black kids sleeping in a car.
Boy are the comments interesting on this one.
Always hilarious to see when people don't even watch the video but somehow manage to get offended anyway at the idea that their preconceived notions might be even slightly challenged.
Unfortunately the car community has a few of those kinds of snowflakes
So did the car have air conditioning or not I don't understand how the car had a home air conditioner but yeah it was a hundred twenty degrees in the car
They had a dude in a blanket inside the car
"Science"
LOL
"she was just being horrible the little dog" lmfao
