At least I don’t have to say Chris is making stuff up. Just Ed clickbaiting. Sorry Ed I will still like your channel and you but clickbait is clickbait and we got clickbaitEd.
@@Nderak I think you're just starting to realize that only exceptional car stories are good, and most are just "logistics stories." Think about how much of Ed's stories are "I tried to go from X to Y, but Z happened and it almost didn't work out but thankfully we made it to Y." You have people like Rabbit who simply tell great stories, but Chris is not one of those people unfortunately.
The person who broke into your truck saw that it hadn't moved for weeks and that it looked just like the kind of truck that is likely to have a free gun in it. This is just like the guy I knew who had his suv repeatedly broken into wondering why no one else seemed to have that problem till I pointed out to him the SIG sticker on his rear window. Of which I informed him, "When you are in the car it perhaps might sway someone away from car jacking you... When you aren't in the it it's an advertsement for 'hey break into this car for your chance to win a free gun'" fortunately his gun was on his person every time it was broken into.
I tell people that all the time. My cousin was in prison and while there he learned that the real serious home burglars woukd target houses that had Democrat stickers or signs out front. The reason being is that a lot of democrats are anti-gun and don't have one, and some of them that do have guns wouldn't shoot you if they did. One guy even said that he got caught and they not only let him go, they gave him food and money. So then he went back and robbed them again. The gun stickers just advertise, 'Hey I carry a high end gun' in my car.
That truck stands out. If you are driving that around the Atlanta Metro area and showing off your sound system, then it is only a matter of time until you become a target.
"I'd pick a vehicle that looks like it belonged to somebody that wasn't going to come looking for me afterwards." Sadly, with your truck just sitting and not moving for months, that's exactly what your truck looked like. It would have been better to have your friend drive it around every now and then, so it looked like there was someone that was around to come after the thieves. But sadly, thieves don't care how scary you may look. My vehicles get molested on a regular basis, and my old 1986 Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton 4x4 looked like a piece of shit with nothing of value. But it got attacked a few times and stolen the last. (For a FRICKEN TWO MILE JOYRIDE!) Busted up the steering column and everything. All for a two-mile joyride and an ammo can of crappy tools.
You've definitely mentioned this truck before. Thanks for the update and history lesson! And if good living is the best revenge, you're way ahead of the bottom feeders that broke into your truck.
Even though Christopher is one of the best VINwiki guests of all time, it really feels like their milking it with this one. This entire story can be summed up in: "I left my truck for an extended period of time and it got broken into!" Super clickbaity title.
No matter what new Christopher story drops, I always have to go back and hear the story of the Maverick vs 5.0 chase 😂. That is one of the greatest funniest stories on UA-cam. Right after Mike Tyson vs Mitch Green on PcP!!! 👍
Not a “Truck Guy”….but ANY 4x4 that’s lifted, modified with more options than the truck’s worth (especially from Texas)….is a definite “keeper….great pick.
There is no better way to kick off my Friday than to start it with a Christopher Michaels story. Except maybe if I also had ice cream, but that’s only if I ALSO had ice cream.
Thanks for watching y'all! I'm selling shirts like the one I'm wearing as well as hoodies, stickers and some other stuff to help with the stuff my insurance didn't cover. It's my own artwork and I'd sure appreciate you clicking the link in the description and checking it out. Thanks!
You’re going to have to get one of those obnoxious alarm systems that everybody ignores. The Ram Head should have scared them, it might belong to a devil worshiper. 😁
Chris, where are your videos in your overland Porsche? I saw you in one of the Offroad recovery videos I think it was Matt Offroad recovery but I could be wrong. Just looking to see where we can see your adventures at.
man what i would give to have Chris join me and the bios for the gambler 500 border patrol run in the dea truck! or the motorcycle gambler 500 run coming up! such cool history on the truck and it makes me want one so bad!
As someone who knew a lot of people who broke into cars 9/10 you just parked in the wrong place at the wrong time. But if your car looks like police or 2A supporter then you automatically become more of a target. They lookin for your gun bruh, in fact the whole reason they are out is because that’s what they are looking for.
Until you realize that using infrared lighting is like lighting a beacon to someone wearing NVG's or helicopters pilots. It took the Iraqis not very long to stop using infrared lights
Boo! Story left me feeling empty... I thought you were going to say the DEA left a couple keys in the cab and the cartel found it and broke in to retrieve them.
It had been thoroughly checked long before I got it, but I can't help but wonder if someone wanted those numbers for a combination lock or password or some map coordinates or something. They don't seem like something the teenagers who came along after they busted the locks would have wanted. Thanks for watching!
Video title: The Smugglers came back for my DEA auction truck!
In the video itself: No they didn't.
At least I don’t have to say Chris is making stuff up. Just Ed clickbaiting. Sorry Ed I will still like your channel and you but clickbait is clickbait and we got clickbaitEd.
the quality has started to drop off on this channel lately. this video is 50 seconds of fun story and the rest is boring life update

VINwiki clickbait? This isn’t the usual mo.
Aaand the occassional clickbait is why i dont watch this channel anymore. I dont like being basically lied to.
Doesn't matter how "aggressive" you think your truck looks, if people know its sitting for months at a time then its an obvious easy target
Simple. I see Christopher Michaels and I know it's gonna be good.
Only reason I watch now tbh.
10000% agreed
Truth
You are a simp

What a click bait title
Thanks stopping video after one minute
Wasn’t really bait though dickhad
Maybe I was wrong
That's all these are
You still clicked
New title - “kids broke into my old auction truck and stole my subwoofer”
What’s with the click bait title? It was just broken into, not by the smugglers.
They’ve really been digging into the clickbait bad. I’m left disappointed more often than not recently
Just unsubscribe
theyre losing views so their starting to have click bait videos to get more views again.
Guess Ed can make some "Shrewd Clickbaiter" shirts now.
So his 12s were stolen….. ya def sounds like the cartel lol 😂
Clickbait! The Smugglers never came back for it!
Thank you for saving me the time of listening to this guy drone on and on needlessly about his truck.
Nice clickbait :))
Christopher “My wife at the time “
😂 That's what we say after 4😂😂😂 Number 5 is happy 😊
And this is how you take 10 minutes to say a whole lot of nothing.
That truck stands out. If you are driving that around the Atlanta Metro area and showing off your sound system, then it is only a matter of time until you become a target.
I missed the smugglers coming back part? Stereo smugglers maybe 🤔
They probably wanted the 8 ball shift knob back😂

right! How this guy not have a friend with a farm or some shit to put it on where it won't get f'ed with...
This dude is the man. Id love to sit with him & buy him a beer. Rock on brother!
Another disappointing clickbait title.
The later year 3rd gen rams are the best-looking trucks, IMO. Classy as hell.
You've definitely mentioned this truck before. Thanks for the update and history lesson! And if good living is the best revenge, you're way ahead of the bottom feeders that broke into your truck.
I've been waiting for a new Christopher story for AGES. I started watching old vids the other day. So glad to see you back!
All I saw was the title. I KNEW this was going to be good!
...and then we learned it was clickbait and the video had nothing to do with the title
this is crazy. My fav story teller on here. Haven’t checked in a while. Glad I did!!
Even though Christopher is one of the best VINwiki guests of all time, it really feels like their milking it with this one.
This entire story can be summed up in:
"I left my truck for an extended period of time and it got broken into!"
Super clickbaity title.
We got a new christopher story LET'S GO!!!!
Love me a good Christopher story.
Thats the perfect truck to break into, its got lots of expensive parts to sell.
What a Friday. Christopher with a smuggler truck story was extremely what I needed
This truck never has a boring day!
No car alarm ? No cameras ? Nothing on anyone’s ring door bell camera ?
I do love that truck! Love the first store a ton. Glad your doing a rebuild!
I love Christopher's stories and this truck story is what made me love his stories
I legit was saying to myself this week that I hadn’t heard a Christopher story in a while. What a great way to end the week!
I was just thinking the other day, we haven't heard a story from Christopher in a while! Thanks for the entertainment!
Black Dodge ex smuggler truck. Of course it's the mighty Chris back at it will another banger story!
Didn't even need to see the thumbnail image to know what truck this was about!
He was staple of the channel for a while. I wondered what happened to him. love his stories. I missed him
I missed you too!
All I saw was the title pop up in the notifications, and I automatically knew it was Christopher Michaels and it's going to be a good one
As soon as I saw the truck I clicked knowing the best storyteller on the channel was up!! Gotta love Christopher!!!
Just with the title bro..
I just came here to share about my buddy who bought one of these and found cash hidden in the door that exceeded the purchase price.
Always great to see Christopher!
My favorite vinwiki story teller! It’ll be a good day when Christopher is on
I live a little over an hour from Atlanta. 96 Rock was THE music of my formative years. Great to see one of those tags again!
Awww yeah! I knew it was a Chris story when i saw the title of the video! Welcome back Chris!
No matter what new Christopher story drops, I always have to go back and hear the story of the Maverick vs 5.0 chase 😂. That is one of the greatest funniest stories on UA-cam. Right after Mike Tyson vs Mitch Green on PcP!!! 👍
Christopher hasn’t had a dull or bad episode on vinwiki. I love listening to him and his stories
You know it's gonna be a good day when you see Christopher in the hot seat! Thanks always and have a great day!
I knew this was going to be Christopher Michaels when I read the caption. This man is a legend.
Not a “Truck Guy”….but ANY 4x4 that’s lifted, modified with more options than the truck’s worth (especially from Texas)….is a definite “keeper….great pick.
This was the best birthday gift I could ask for today from vinwiki love a great Christoper story
Happy Birthday Jaden! Thank for watching!
Oh I remember the original video... definitely watching this rn
So when did the smugglers come back for the truck? Lol missed that part.
There is no better way to kick off my Friday than to start it with a Christopher Michaels story. Except maybe if I also had ice cream, but that’s only if I ALSO had ice cream.
So close too 2 mill congrats on what you have built Ed
IT'S CHRISTOPHER MICHAELS!!!! YESSSSS
The kinda updates we looking for 😂
So glad to Christopher in the seat this am!!
Chris is the VinWiki GOAT!!! Thee-A-Tor sumbitch!! Love you dude!!! You're the coolest OG ever.
Just bought a shirt because you're the best!
Thank you so much Ksteak!!! I really appreciate it!
Thanks for watching y'all! I'm selling shirts like the one I'm wearing as well as hoodies, stickers and some other stuff to help with the stuff my insurance didn't cover. It's my own artwork and I'd sure appreciate you clicking the link in the description and checking it out. Thanks!
Did the Thieves also take the manual?
You’re going to have to get one of those obnoxious alarm systems that everybody ignores. The Ram Head should have scared them, it might belong to a devil worshiper. 😁
I had a hard time looking at all the modifications on the truck because of all of his face modifications. Looks like he stuck a claim at hot topic.
Chris, where are your videos in your overland Porsche? I saw you in one of the Offroad recovery videos I think it was Matt Offroad recovery but I could be wrong. Just looking to see where we can see your adventures at.
Hey Captain Awesome! You are correct that was me and I’ll he telling that story soon! Thanks for watching and having such an awesome screen name!
I'm glad to see you and the Porsche Cheyenne got off the slide in Utah 😊😊😊
Kicker for life!!! Love the truck. I love my rams.
Morgan freeman: “as it turned out the cartel did not in fact give a shit about the truck”
its crazy to think I just rewatched the original video to this like a week ago after years 😂😂
No one cares
I had that 96 Rock tag on my Mach 1 in the 80s. Atlanta Ga
I just drove back from city in a storm at 4am, a bit of a story , now I'm watching this.
Love the upside down 96Rock tag. The go to station back in the 90's and long before satellite
man what i would give to have Chris join me and the bios for the gambler 500 border patrol run in the dea truck! or the motorcycle gambler 500 run coming up! such cool history on the truck and it makes me want one so bad!
This sounds like a great time Ozzy, How do we make this happen?
I highly suggest center console or a hidden safe. One extra set of locks maybe enough to stop someone trying to grab easy things from the truck
Christopher Micheal has the best story's every time
This is Gonna make top 10 car stories of 2024
As someone who knew a lot of people who broke into cars 9/10 you just parked in the wrong place at the wrong time. But if your car looks like police or 2A supporter then you automatically become more of a target. They lookin for your gun bruh, in fact the whole reason they are out is because that’s what they are looking for.
I see Chris and you know it’s going to be a good story
I seen DEA truck and uploaded a day ago, I’m there in a flash.
It’s Christopher.. it’s his black truck.. this gun be good! 😎
Seriously, I like the smugglers truck as one of my favorite Vinwiki series!
Love Christopher's stories ! Thank you
My favorite contributor
Awesome story Chris! Keep it coming
100% my favorite story teller on this channel!!!!
Every Story With Christopher Michaels is legendary!!! Boom Mic Drop
I didn’t think this story would have a part 2 can’t wait to see part 3 the dea guy that knocked on that door. He would have some stories
at 4:01 in the video a cockroach crawls across the lower right corner of the screen. he must be running away from Ed's shrewd negotation...
If you paint the entire thing pink it would be hilarious and I'm here for it 😂
"Someone stole my speakers of my DEA auction truck"
Lol Infared lights. Cartel has dudes driving under night vision. That's so dope.
Until you realize that using infrared lighting is like lighting a beacon to someone wearing NVG's or helicopters pilots. It took the Iraqis not very long to stop using infrared lights
We need a link on here to the new rebuild series on the Cartel Cummins!!!
If your truck ever should show up in Pixar's "Cars", it would be voiced by James Earl Jones!
Let’s go!!! Christopher stories are the best
Good story Christopher.
Christopher Michael is one of the coolest storytellers around!!
i fucking love this truck for this specific story
I would love to buy this truck 😂👌🏼
The truck looks like the owner 😂
Boo! Story left me feeling empty... I thought you were going to say the DEA left a couple keys in the cab and the cartel found it and broke in to retrieve them.
It had been thoroughly checked long before I got it, but I can't help but wonder if someone wanted those numbers for a combination lock or password or some map coordinates or something.

Any day with a new Christopher story is a good day!
My wife at the time loves Chris!
Tell her I said "Hi" :)
96 Rock tag!!
I called the police. They didn't show up. Sounds right with police nowadays. Traffic ticketing is more important than fighting real crime
Finally Christopher Michael’s is back!
You had me at acutremon!
It was so apropos!
Sir, you are silver tounge devil.
