This mans really answering all the thoughts that I had as a kid😂
Fact
I know
No lies
Yes😂
Lol, my question is if you can drive a car with a different key from another car
Bruh I died when he threw the key out 😂😂😂
see ya! lmfaoo
💀
I died when he turned the car off after throwing it out 😂
I DID NOT EXPECT HIM TO THROW HIS KEY OUT🤣
I felt that
The only anti-theft feature is the manual trans
Not in spain, here everyone knows how to drive a manual, because nobody buy automatic, people prefer manual cars because give you more control and better gas consumption
@@latronx sadly in my country, Malaysia, everyone starts to become lazy ass douche and new cars that are manual becoming very rare. Only cars below $10000 have manual option. The only exception is Honda Civic Type R, costs around 80 grand here and made it the only expensive new manual car.
Only applies in Canada and US.
@@latronx Same in all of Europe, he’s talking about the US/Canada. And the better control/consumption is bullshit - automatic cars are simply more expensive. I have driven automatic and it’s so much easier and comfortable not to think of the shift stick.
@@fotone much eaier but much boring ;D
“Gets pulled over”
Cop:” sir, can you take your keys out of the ignit...”
“Oh yea I pulled that out a couple of blocks ago”
Nyc one😂😂
Needs more likes
😂
And then gets detained for suspected grand theft
😂
3:33 the face when you realize you can fully operate your car without having a key XD
That’s because on old cars have no immobiliser system back in the early days!!
@@davidriley9194 They did have them, but it was just a small piece that prevented the key from cranking all the way. The key's only purpose once you were in the vehicle was to turn the piece away so the ignition could crank all the way. As these cars were used, many of these systems eventually stopped working, with the piece getting lodged into where the key should be moving it. As a result, many old cars now can be started without a key. This is one of many reasons why manufacturers started using push to start ignitions, and key ignitions are virtually gone from the market (in the US, anyway).
Tomorrows video title: ""My truck got stolen"
Yup
thanks for summing up the vid before i even watch it numnuts
😂🤣
Beat me to it haha
I don't think he would really care tbh lol
"Can I start it?"
-(car starts)
"What the hell...., what kind of a car is this?!"
I laughed out loud lol
My trailblazer does the same thing
Some farm vehicles have this
APerson I was dying laughing
It’s an American car, that’s the problem. 90s ford rangers sucked
Its fine its a manual no one knows how to drive it.
A Manual is the key
I do and I live in the same state
@@Meeper2 well its a big state
@@alexburnette2526 The plate was shown in the video
You don’t either LOL
I love how bewildered he looks after attempting these absurd experiments
this is proof why you should try and see if your vehicle can start with out the key because you never know if it's possible and if it is you might want to get that issue fixed if you can
Police officer be like:
So sir, explain to me again why are you driving without a key?
I lost it, you can run the plates it’s going to be in my name.
Cop runs plates and comes back with this it checks out fine you free to go
Username checks out
- Hey, what are you i for?
- I was driving without a key

The definition of “KEYLESS GO”
ford is is already at their innovation peak when they develop this truck haha
Udipotah XD 😂
Maybe the past owner of this truck discovered this "keyless go" idea and now is a multi millionaire . 😎
The “what happens if”s are back! I really enjoy those videos.
Please add a video with this find. I'm surprised nobody told you in the comments yet about it
Mike did to cause they were his most popular videos. Now he's just doing it cause his content has fallin off and needs money
I subscribed at the first place because of these videos!
Ranger is like a Tesla no key needed

Why NOT to take out the key while driving? Because your steering wheel can lock and you can't steer anymore.
It's also possible to lose the break booster so you may need to press the break pedal much harder.
thats if the engine turns off, and more modern cars even if you stall them they keep powering the pumps for all essentials
"Why is that possible"
The reason behind this is the only thing the key needs to do on older vehicles, is just unlock the ignition pin to turn it, which is why with old cars that have a broken ignition pin, you can twist the ignition and start the car with a screwdriver or even just your hands if the ignition has those little nubs that come off to help turn it.
My Ford ranger uses a flat head screw driver to start it.
No bro, you are not using a screwdriver. You are using a mans car key.
Yep, there's no immobilezer that's the reason.
I was gonna say a stripped ignition but that’s way to new
Right, the ignition switch is in fact, just a switch. It's a switch on a locked cylinder though, extremely similar to a padlock. The key does not complete the circuit, it's not the switch. It's just what allows the switch to move. As soon as that cylinder is turned the key has completed it's entire purpose, it's no longer necessary (hot-wiring a car just bypasses the locked switch and connects the wires the switch would connect, with an exposed switch you can hotwire a car with a paper clip). Some cylinders are key retaining cylinders, thus when turned the key cannot be removed. On old vehicles they didn't care about that so you can pull the key out once that cylinder has turned (and the internal pins are aligned with the shear line). You can turn the ignition off without the key because once those pins are aligned with the shear line the cylinder turns, so long as it isn't turned all the way back into the locked position (again, just like a padlock). My truck is a 1966 C10 and I can start it up, take the key, lock the door from the outside with the key, and walk away from a running car you can't get into
The key ignition locking system is messed up. I have had fords that had that same problem
Yes these old ford key ignition switch wears out that’s why wend the car was new you could not get the key
If u notice hes not turning the key all the way back to lock position
Any vehicle can have this problem if it's been abused enough
Not just Ford, Chevys do this too.
@@rockdem0n I second that since I recently got into a Chevy Impala from Y2K that had over 200,000 miles and you could take the key out at anytime you wanted it to
Next up: “What happens if you shift into 1st going 70+.”
hell yaaa😂
How about reverse?
Matt Ferguson I wonder how fast Mike would be able to drive it in reverse!
@@fergotti that's not reverse my dude. You slam it into the race gear and you gotta make sure it stays in there because it's going to fight its way out
Lol I commented the same thing B4 I read this
Yeah, totally possible.
Once lock pins are worn or broken, key isn't needed in the older trucks. Screwdriver will do the job.
Security transponders built into the next gen key bodies have made it so the key now has to at least be close to the ignition block if not needed to turn it.
what kind of a car is this where you don't need a key to start it or anything that moment that you realize how easy your vehicle is to steal🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This guy looks like a budget James Hetfield.
Lol😂
If James Hetfield and Corey Taylor had a kid😂
But he is at least likable
Lmao budget
I see it lol
On this episode, Autovlog finds out his truck ignition is broken lmao
I've had 2 Fords that did that. The ignition lock broke is all. I actually started my 94 Cougar with a knife when I couldn't find the key one day.
Cougar for a cougar
Lol
I have a 98 Ford Fiesta and I easily unlock his doors with a slotted screwdriver. Also I can unlocks his doors with the keys of other ford Fiesta or Ford Ka.
I remember on my 02 Civic the key fell off when I was driving (about 10mph) turning left, needless to say the steering wheel locked and I went bumper first into a brick barrier
7:38 I toughted he crashed

Lol
If you care about it getting stolen (probably not lol) you should get a clutch lock or a steering wheel lock so it can't be driven away lol
My 1990 K-5 Blazer can start/drive with no key, however, I still press the clutch to start it even without a key.
It’s literally a “keyless” entry!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Definitely is
You Failed.
Keyless Entry means not having to use a "Key" too enter the vehicle.
Clearly Mike shows he needs a KEY to Enter/Unlock the door then he can start it without a key.
what if ur child goes in and just drives of lmao
Nah it’s a twist to start
Bryan James 😂😂🤦♂️
I owned a Ford Explorer and my father needed my keys while the car was on. So I pulled it out of the ignition and handed it to him. & he was like yep it’s a Ford lol
Love this
Me too! Ford escort though
His sheer confusion at 3:00 is beautiful. I remember being able to do this in my ‘98 wrangler.
Only reason you can pull your key outta the 94 is because at some point in its life on the road someone stole it
Or the ignition's piece broke. That's pretty common with older cars nowadays. Also, it's a Ford LOL
The groves in the ignition are most likely flat, happened in my 95 grand marquis
My grandfather's friend on my dad's side I think had a 1996 or so Subaru Impreza, and he had the same worn key issue.
I was able to start my dad's 76 f150 with my 96 ranger key
Was an issue with older fords lol
Hahahaahahaha
Hahaha 😂 hands down best reaction video of mike finding out he don’t need a key for the truck
Everybody gangster untill the stearingwheel locks at 55mph
liar his trucks steering wheel did not lock up nor did the engine turn off the only thing that happened is he figured out the key was there to make him feel like he was starting his truck up nothing more because his key is not even needed to start start the engine up this goes to show testing is important because you may think you need the key and find out you actually do not need it for anything other then locking the doors
Well Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today!
It’s currently 3:24 am. I should be asleep rn. But I’m watching this
Lmao its like 320ish am where I'm at and I thought this was going to be one of those pov comments and it freaked me out haha
My first car, a 2000 Pontiac, did the same thing. So nice in the winter to start it to warm it up, lock it and take the keys with me😂
Brings a whole new meaning to (Keyless Entry)
he looks way too excited that he is driving without a key in the ignition....
“It’s like I got Keyless go” 🤣 love it!
2:37 put it first at 0.25x that is his reaction when see regular key😂😂😂😂
My friend did almost die doing this haha. The steering wheel locked
He would of use the key to turn off moter not just pulled key out
Whenever you’re attempting to turn off the engine while the car is still moving, it’s very important to be aware of the different key positions for “OFF” vs. “LOCK”. Don’t turn it all the way to lock, just to off.
@@kc9scott Most cars will only let you pull the key in the LOCK position.
@@M4RC90 I know that. What I'm saying is that if you have a need/desire to turn the engine off while moving, you should only turn the key to "OFF". There's no reason to pull it out.
@@kc9scott But that was the entire idea of this video. If you can actually pull the key.
*gets stopped for overspeeding
police officer pulls out the key
Ford ranger 1994: see ya!
@SOSA driving 15 above 15 above speed limit
I appreciate you putting your life and the lives of your many cars to do these experiments for us.
You helped a lot of thieves 😂 good job !
Every time he throws the key out I die laughing 😂
yeah what if the truck didn't start again without a key. he'd be like i regret throwing the key
Seen 7 different types of your videos dude And love them all !!!
Love the positive attitude and down to earth personality brotha
When you pull out your key and you are steering he is going on the steerlock no?
Only in park for most vehicles
Hes not turning the key all the way back to the lock position
@@kekun3740 Not in case of manual transmission, so it is dangerous to do it on manual transmission cars that require key. Steering lock usually turn on when you turn the ignition off and pull the key out. If you just turn ignition off and leave key in, then you can still steer, but of course no power steering and other things that need running engine.
"Well what do you know"😂😂😂😂😂 It drives without a freaking key...🇰🇪🔥💥
Yes there is a safety feature for shutting the engine off with the key at anytime. The reason for it is simple, if the accelerator sticks you can cut power to protect the engine.
I had a '98 B2500 (basically a Mazda Ranger/same truck) that was like this. Manual 2wd. I drove it for a couple years before I realized it... one day while driving I inadvertently slid the key out into my hand. The only thing that prevented it from starting without is if the steering wheel had locked. That key... was so worn out, it was like mashed potatoes. No grooves or form of any kind left anywhere. And that truck sounded about like your Everclear drive when I finally drove it into the scrap yard. 🤘🏻😆🤘🏻
The college I went to back in late 90's and early 2000's has a Ford Escort Station Wagon that had no key. You could start and stop the car the same way you did on the video. - Thank you for bring me back.
Also, while at school, I had the same Ford Range but it was a '94 , single cab with a short bed. No A/C, No Power Steering, Manual Trans, Bench Seating, & I had to put a radio in. I also could take the key out while the truck was running. I never tried to start the truck without a key. Now I wish I did. - I hit a stone wall with that thing and it still ran for 3 - 4 more years.
Your the king of these type of vids awesome🔥🔥💯👍
He’s out of gas no creativity left he’s got a few breaths left before the nail goes in the coffin
That Fusion video was my introduction to you lol

A lot of fords from back in the day ignitions were like that
"Why is that possible? That's so weird!" 🤣🤣
2 Seconds Later
"Why is that possible...?" 😟😟😟
7:35 lol just the fall is funny idk why 🤣🤣🤣
I laughed so hard when he turned the truck on without a key😂
You could literally start that with a screwdriver 😁
John Devost you could start it with your fingers
Don’t even need that lol
It doesn't have a chip in the key, in the newer cars (96 and newer) there's an ignition chip in the key, if you make a spare without the chip, it'll go in, turn, but won't turn over
@@GUMBYVLOG I wanted this bid to be about one with a chipped key but maybe all of his are to valuable to do that
You don’t even need the screwdriver
This man risking his safety for our own sake what a great guy
You must be able to turn the engine off at anytime it's a safety kill switch. As for removal of the key and the engine still running, it's just wearing down from lots of use. Had a truck that you had to put the key in and turn it on then press a start button and you could then remove the key and leave it running lock it up and walk away but to shut down the engine you had to put the key back in trunk it off then pull a knob that pulled a cable that would shut down the engine. If you tried to pull the knob without the key then it wouldn't budge no matter how hard you pulled on it.
It's the tumbler in the lock of the stearing whell lock
how lil uzi vert once said “you gone die”
Me wit an old Pontiac:
I can take the keys out while it's on
In any manual car, you can drive with a dead battery, as long as the ignition is in the on position. When you dumped the clutch at like 40mph, the truck started, but it wasn’t in the on position, so no power was being delivered to the engine
My dad was telling me your tumbler could be broken inside the ignition, meaning the pins that the key should unlock in the ignition are broken, meaning that you don't need the key.
Could it be possibly that it got broken into a long time ago?
When the cop takes your key 🤣
In a manual car if you turn the engine off you can still have it running if the gear is engaged (of course you wouldn't have acceleration, just engine braking). If you put in neutral the engine stops, but you can "restart" is by engaging the gear and releasing the clutch. If you turn the ignition on then you have power again.
With the automatic transmission when the ignition is off the solenoids lose power and the transmission is in neutral. Even if you turn the ignition back on the engine can't restart by itself because the automatic transmission requires oil pressure to engage, which is provided by a pump driven by the engine
Well most people nowadays unlike back then don’t know how to drive manuals🤦🏼♂️ So I guess the stick can be a form of security lol😂😂😂
Unless you're British lol, like me where we actually learn to drive a manual car and most British people have driven manual cars for most of their life
Most people in USA...In a Europe mostly driving manuals......and today they have 6 speeds.... :)
Well. Thieves know how to drive a manual lol
My dad had to fully turn off his car to reset the air suspension system while driving.
So basically, climb through the back window and of you go!
Well GOT DAMN
Mechanic's must love this guy
My 2000 Blazer is the same way! Even though it has an anti theft system. I love the simplicity of old cars 😊
Be it the slowest car ever, sounds like a sports car as it runs!🏁 🙄 Vrooomm 2:11
When I drove my 91 olds cutty wit my friends I'd put ur into natural n take the key out and turn off the lights goin 70... they freak out lmfaoo
I don't know about in brand new cars, but I know that the 2003 Honda Accord that I drive, you can cut off the engine & still keep coasting unless you turn the key to fully off so you can take it out. If you turn the key to just radio, it'll keep going, but you'll have no lights or spedometer, but if you turn it back to "on," you can keep coasting. I did this going down a multi-mile grade, but I wouldn't recommend it because you lose power braking very quickly & then you'll have a hard time stopping.
Thanks! You have literally answered my questions I had for years. There's this experiment and the other ones with the putting the transmission into gear while driving. I'm glad I don't have to do them myself lol, sub'd
seen a '98 ranger do that. Always thought it was so that you could turn the passenger airbag on/off while the engine is running as that was for some reason an actual switch that used the key (probably only as a lever though). at least on that truck if the ignition was in the "lock" position then it required the key to turn, but once out of lock it could turn to on, off, start, or even back to the locked position, accessory is on the other side of lock so if left in that position it would have to turn past lock to do anything else essentially still being "secure". that accessory position makes me think it was intentional, but maybe it's just from being a worn out lock
ive known this since i was super young. me mum used to have a van thats key didnt lock in when she drove it so shed pull it out just to show us for fun and it always blew our minds
* looses key
Oh its no big deal il just drive home without it
The ignition is messed up!!
He clearly doesn't understand how it works..lol. it's broken
In next week's episode, I'll remove one of the wheels at 40mph with the key in the glove box 😳
The short answer is you lose power brakes and power steering and have to strong arm the car. Might need 2 feet on the brakes if the pedal is wide enough. I've tested this out because it's a good scenario to practice in the event of an emergency if your car becomes disabled.
If it's a manual, you can still downshift to help reduce speed faster than braking alone. Doing these together will stop you faster without resorting to a hand brake. If it's an automatic, put it in neutral and attempt start the car again while in motion. If it starts, put it in drive and move along. Drivers Ed teaches you these things which become permanently embedded in your brain. Also this guys Ford truck has probably had the ignition tumbler tampered with to easily remove the key like that.
I swear I was just THINKING this a couple days ago. Now this shows up in my recommended.
Next video
What happens if you put your manual transmission into reverse while driving
Depends on the car. Modern manuals literally won't let you it physically prevents a shift from gear into reverse while you're moving, some older cars I think it'd actually go into neutral, and others it'd destroy your transmission.
Seems like a good car to steal
With the 2016 malibu idk if you reviewed that ignition one but you can start it back up if you forget the key unless you push the button 5 times
This has to be one of my biggest questions when I was younger to be solved
That’s hilarious
When I was a kid, my mom had an AMC Concord station wagon (i'm that old, it was also the 80s). She had to start the car with the ignition but could pull it out afterwards and the car would still drive so it's not unheard of.
Apparently ford knew someone would leave their keys somewhere and they decided “fuck it, let’s just make it a keyless start vehicle” before keyless starts we’re a thing. 🤣🤣🤣
i will definitly be keeping an eye for those trucks
I knew the old beast would keep goin Haha
When I was a kid my mum had this beater car(this was late 90s), I needed to get the mail from the P.O. box and the key for the box was on the keyring with the car keys, so she just yanked the key outta the ignition with no thought, passed em to me and I was blown away by how the car kept running. Got back to the car after and told her to drive home without the key in cuz I thought it was the goofiest thing ever
Just subbed because you are answering all of my car questions since childhood haha! Stay safe brotha
My wife had a first generation Ford Focus, back in the day... to start the car, you didn't need a key, but you had to have SOMETHING in the ignition. So, after she lost her key, she just grabbed a penny and used that penny to start her car. Worked great. Just had to make sure to never lock the door.
2005 Mustang - I can turn the car off, but it has key capture, and I can restart it while at speed. It was a neat, spontaneous experiment on the highway!
Years ago, some GM cars had "lock", "off" and "on" positions so that you could remove the key and leave the ignition unlocked if you wished. In that same era GM had few variations in their keys, so my Pontiac, my neighbor's Buick and my sister's Chevy had identical keys. Apparently, the Honor System still worked back then.
Like my dad always said locks just keep honest people honest
Turning of the engine while driving is a sure way to get catastrophic damages to ur timing valves and gearbox
I had 99 ranger where the over drive would stop working only way to get it back put it in neutral and kill the engine while going down the road then start it back up and put it in gear never hurt it
Gotta love the old ford ignition 😂. Never worried about loosing the keys to my 89 Bronco
I guess you could say the car is ahead of its time
A lot of the Ford tumblers from that era are worn out, my dad’s 99 ranger has the same issue where you can pull the key out with it in the on position, usually it’s not supposed to do that, although you can’t start it without the key.
