This has to be near the top of hilarious and bizarre tales told. John has a way with words!!
I didn’t want to say it you did😂😂😭
White people comedy
John Ficarra's stories are,the best. If anyone needs a UA-cam channel, it's him. Just telling stories and showing off cars.
Damn straight. Hands down the best guy this channel ever has on.
Seriously this guy's stories are legendary. Being from NYC, makes it even better lol
John never disappoints.
“This can be red” all time best.
John is a sharp guy I like him
He and the other guy, who rented the Mustang.
Only the insurance industry would come up with such an inane string of logic. Great story and hope to see more from John.
Their job is not to insure drivers, their job is to "ensure" profits for the stakeholders and executives. It's disgusting, same with health insurance. I hate it. Call them "ensurance" companies for investors.
what would be the odds that a murderer willing to kill somebody to avoid paying cab fare, in NY, would own a car, and be upstanding enough to have proper insurance on it, and still took a cab?
One of the contingencies of your policy being in effect is that you be alive. Paying out on accidents committed by dead people is a bad path. This is not just a state of New York policy. Check your state.
I mean it makes sense, the murderer CAUSED the car to crash, its just not realistic to get his insurance
wait would it count as a hit and run then?
This is the kind of stuff that happens to folks on the sidelines of these horrible situations. To top it off, what a ridiculous response from the insurance company. I hope they caught the murderer.
If police caught the killer John could have gotten his car insurance number.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo I hope he didn't change insurances from then to the time he got caught.
I'm just shocked that his insurance even bothered to help him track down the insurance info of the taxi driver since he only had liability. When I had liability on my first car I got into an accident where the person gave me fake insurance info but I took a picture of their plate. I didn't file a police report because I didn't know any better. Anyway, I called my insurance to see if they could help me in any way to get my car fixed and they basically said that since I only have liability that they're not obligated to help. I asked if they could give me the name of the registered owner at least so I could take them to small claims court, they said it'd take a month to do that. So I just went down to the police station, told them what happened and gave them the plate number and they wrote it down for me on the spot.
I wonder if the driver operating an illegal cab would have made any difference in the liability?
I also wonder in which states the driver/insurance would have been liable?
@@TheCobruhAlienat0r even though here in nyc its a no fault state if you can prove it was not your fault do to dash cam or from police report the at fault party insurance should pay for the damage. I got into a accident with liability and they wrote a check in days for 3k for a minor dent accident. Always call the police asap when in a car accident no matter how minor it is unless no damage occured.
My grandpa was NYPD for 28 years and I got to say he nailed the NY cop
Eeaahhw... Just. Call. The numbah.
I once saw a woman catch a guy cheating, and started beating his ass. Of course the NYPD cop did nothing. It was my first time in New York and I remember think how bizarre this city way.
OMG, I can so see John in the dream sequence doing just that. And as the credits roll he drives off in the fixed Volvo, playing Bad Boys on the CD player... BAHAHA
Great story John...
“Your __VOLVO__ has been involved in __A_HOMOCIDE__” has to be one of my new favorite stories lol. That’s horribly hilarious
ED you need to shoot the "episode" where A guy spends 3 years hunting down a murderer only to demand his car insurance info. Show him living "undercover" as a homeless man on a stakeout, paying little kids to ask questions, shaking grandma in a back alley interrogation.. the whole 9 yards.,... maybe a subplot in the next car trek
Ok how is it the murderers insurance the one that has to pay? That's some insurance company magic right there.
If you can get your hands on a Talmud, everything will make sense.
I mean it kind of makes sense, the muderer drove the car into the Volvo using the dead body. The victim didn’t really do anything.
It makes sense. I work in insurance. The shooter shot the person, persons car hit johns car. Shooter is the proximate cause of the accident. If you have collision/first party coverage, you file with your own insurance and have insurance go after the responsible party directly
But for the murder, the driver would not have crashed
@@0554joe gross an insurance worker
John always has great stories!!!
He’s my absolute favorite by far.
Well John could turn boring story into something.
I'm so glad a Volvo car story has come to Vinwiki 🙏
I’ve also got USAA and they’ve always treated me so well! The last time I got rear ended I was speaking with an agent who was a fellow Army and OIF vet and he went above and beyond. They’re a phenomenal company.
I've personally had nothing but problems with them. Same for one of my friends. Had to threaten to sue before they took care of an issue they caused. I got rid of them as fast as I could. Terrible experience.
My mom works for USAA
I am with state farm, my grandpa is with state farm and has been all his life since 16 never had issues they paid out on everything. I made a profit on all the incidents and they lost money. Cousin had like Progressive or some shit like that bought a brand new mustang in los angeles, drove it home to san jose, went to bakersfield and was chilling with his girlfriend who was driving her own car and he was on this mountain pass road, came around a corner rolled it over the edge of a cliff and rolled down it walked away totalled the car, car was worth more where he lived so the insurance company paid out more than he paid to buy the car, he walked away with $10-15k profit on the car they banned him but he took them to the cleaners on the deal cause of how the policy and law worked lol.
What a story! And I can only imagine the thoughts that went through the agent's head when he had to call John and tell him to go find the murderer for his car insurance!
"You have to get the insurance of the guy who shot the driver to pay for the repair" ... and then he doesn't have car insurance because he doesn't have a car to insure.
But he does have a gun, and a tendency to shoot people in the head rather than pay up, not sure I’d be hunting down that guy
You file first party and have insurance go after the at fault party directly then
@@0554joe The problem is it will usually end up costing more to litigate and you'd have to collect on a judgement. In the end, the court costs will exceed anything you'd likely ever get.
@@daexion exactly, at that point it’s not even worth doing it through insurance. It’s one thing if it’s a newer car, this scenario John was seeing imo as a “what if” scenario
@@0554joe It was the part where his insurance company said he'd have to get it from the shooter's car insurance which I thought was amusing.
Oh Gosh another John story. Liked and commented before watching the video. Love the guy!
Dam son great story as always. Would love to hear more of them but kinda wishing( for you) that there aren't to many like this.
Crazy car stories are the best...not sure how I feel about stories involving homicides though...ha
About time we had more Ficarra!
A John Ficara story is never clickbait. It always delivers!
this could totally be a dark comedy movie, make it happen!
Dude who hit my car lol
Pal how about you make one!
Amazingly not the only dead body Volvo John had encountered since The 2904 car carrying ashes happened
John and Volvo content? I think this might be my new favorite story.
Great story!!!!!! I am from Brooklyn so this hits home!
LOVE the ending
Great story John! And a little shout out to USAA down in San Antonio!
Poor Volvo tho. Those old boxy bois are awesome
"I just fixed the car." BEST. LINE. EVER.
I was sitting here lmao at the end. I didn't want the story to end! Bravo👏👏
That ending! LOL what an imagination. "GIVE ME YOUR INSURANCE!" Had me cackling
This has GOT to be one of the BEST Vinwiki stories so far. Laughing my ass off at him “going underground” 😂
I'm still laughing and that was like 6 mins ago!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I can’t wait to build my first house and get it painted and then the second they claim it’s done and come to show me I’ll just point at the wall and say “This could be red” with the most spaced out jerry Garcia look I can give. “This….This could be red”
It's so sad that even with his brains blown he tried to get away.
I love John's stories. Always entertaining, always humorous. One of the best storytellers on Vinwiki.
John Ficarra is my hero! Thanks Ed!
I'm listening and look down to see his tshirt... "This can be red." Just started laughing. One of my all-time favorite VinWiki stories.
just made my day on a Monday no less! best story teller around campfire I bet with a cooler full of beeah’! thanks vinwiki!
I love the insurance company advised him to ask the murderer for reimbursement. 🤣
Omg that intro, this guy had some great stories before!
there needs to be a B movie made from this story
Along with Ed, Doug, Randy, and Casey, John also takes the cake imo for best stories on this channel!
I have never laughed until tears came out from a Vinwiki story. Absolutely epic storytelling.
This dude is hilarious in a smart kind of way. I love his stories. Keep 'em coming if possible.
John nailes it again I love the 2 year plan to find a murderer
I knew there are few people who've been on VINwiki that this story would apply to. It was either going to be a John Ficarra, Rabbit, or Travis Bell story.
I remember when it happened.
So good.
Could be better than “Do you have butt implants?”
I. LOVE!!!! John Ficarra's Stories!!!!!! I'd Love To Just Meet him In Person One Day!!!! 😁
As I said Like first and watch video later. Now I'm hooked and eagerly waiting for the movie TAXI Driver II (who hit Volvo after being shot in head) ... And John saying 'Are you talking to me'
And hey at least it was Red...
What is the strangest thing that has happened to one of your cars?
Drunk brother shooting it with a shotgun
Rear ended by a company truck while the driver was taking a hit of crack.
I was 18, parked in a marked car space on the side of a residential road directly under a street light, coming back from a long trip, i was about 15 min from home but i couldnt keep my eyes open any longer, so did the responsible thing and found a safe place to park and take a nap... 30 min later BOOOOM wake up to the little cubes of glass from the back window, giant pile of cds from the console and shit flying at me get pushed about 8mtr down the road and up onto the kerb 45° to the roadway, i look around to see what happened, big traytruck had slammed into me, then proceeded to drive on like nothing happened, i looked in the mirror and saw the rear hatch was now where the rear seat should be and the rear door was bowed out like a foot in the middle, thought, cant give chase, i heard a tyre burst when going up the kerb too. So i screamed in anger, but being just awoken, it came out a ridiculous noise instead. Got out and looked at my car, was shattered, loved that car and it was completely destroyed. So i called the cops, told them id been hit n run by a tray truck with wood on just then, that i was ok and my car was destroyed, they said they would come and send someone to look for the damaged truck.. All the people in houses nearby came out to see what happened, i sat there for 5 hours waiting for the cops, then finally a police car shows up, i speak to them, the woman goes "we arent here for that, just passing through... You better move that thing and clean the glass up hey" then drove off... Never heard a damn thing about it. Kicker is, id applied for a loan to get it resprayed, but it was taking ages to come through, the morning after the car was ran into, the funds were in my account.... So instead of respraying my first love, i fixed up my "beater car" to be road legal again so i had A car. While looking for another 1985 mitsubishi colt the same colour, couldnt find one anywhere over the course of a year. So i used the loan money to manual swap the 1982 subaru leone hardtop coupe, (bought a donor car) made a cool exhaust, got a nardi steering wheel, put a "big stereo" in it. And i still have that car now 15 years later
Started and drove someone else's Hyundai with my keys. Only realized it wasn't mine when I went in to push the clutch and there wasn't one. Eh, I was already in it, and it was started, so I used it to drive around to find mine.
John is my favorite thing on UA-cam and I watch 2+ hours a day
When I watch youtube videos I like to have the comments open and scroll through them while listening to the video. I sometimes get spoiled, but I enjoy the sense of community and almost live response as I watch the parts of the video that a comment might mention.
When I hear and intro sentence like that though I close the comments, lean back in my chair and listen.
A story from John is a good way to start out the week!
How the hell did this video not get a million views ? John Ficarra is one of the greatest , if not the absolute greatest story teller of all time
Are you pitching that one to a studio? "Based on a true story! The man who took on the underworld so he could make a motor insurance claim! Directed by Quentin Tarantino"
Tarantino is only making 1 more movie and you've found the script
Johns my favorite storyteller of the bunch. Chris and Rabbit might have the best stories, but John’s the best storyteller.
John is so funny
This needs to be in the Best-of compilation for the year.
“So I just fixed the car” 😂😂😂
Thank you John.....i haven't laughed that hard in a while. Just imagining him trolling thru new York's seedy underbelly......ha
I grew up in that area, I get the humor about the dead guy driving into your car. I recognized the road alongside the fenced-in, sunken hellhole known as the Prospect Expressway. Parade Pl. clinched it, the NYPD BSTF station house is at the other end of the Parade Grounds at Park Circle. I was actually born at Caledonian Hospital, it was probably a block or two from where you lived, but I think it was bought out, or closed down....
Sorry for waxing nostalgic, but great story!
Simply put, that was an awesome story.
Now this is why I love Ficarra's stories, Always something juicy :-)
Probably explains why I never visited New York City when I was visiting the States....
It's always popcorn time when John Ficarra takes the chair at VINwiki. 👍
So many of the recent guests have turned me off to where I rarely watch this channel anymore. Especially that UA-camr who claimed his car was seized in Detroit for no reason... 🙄 (Story's so full of holes, I can't believe Ed even let him on the channel. But I'm a local, so I'd know more about the local legal issues than Ed would.) That pretty much ruined VINwiki for me.
Who needs car insurance when you can just find the guy in the back seat of a taxi, whoff bad day.
I missed John's stories :D
"this can be red"
this is one of the lines that lives rent free in my mind and i still don't know what that guy meant
ART i guess
I love my wagon, It was like finding a needle in a hay stack when i found my 05 manual legacy!
I’ve owned four different Volvo’s in my life. Two were station wagons. I would take another in a second.
If ever there as a sign that you needed to leave the cesspool that is New York....there you go
I cracked up when he said “you have to get the insurance from the man that shot him”
"Yes, sir. That's exactly what you have to do." 😆😂🤣
_Your_ *VOLVO* _has been involved in_ *A HOMICIDE*
**Vinwiki music starts playing**
I just about died laughing at John’s synopsis of his investigative tale.
*Goes Undercover*
*Finds the murderer*
*Leans in closer to him and whispers…*
“I’ve been trying to reach you about your car insurance”
Heck yes. John always makes my day.
Could have been an epic court battle over this that hinged on whether the guy who crashed into the volvo died before or after impact.
My first car was a 1995 850 Turbo Wagon. Such a good car and got me into cars overall!
2:07, I had a similar experience in moving from Vegas, the house I lived in for 14 years got robbed in broad daylight weeks before moving.
I could definitely see John going underground for a couple years to break this case!!! Hahaahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa
Sounds like a movie plot to me. Even a short
This could have been such a John Wick story… dammit Ficarra! Go underground!
This guy should write a book if he hasn't already. What a horribly tragic story.
John Ficarra is seriously one of the best.
The shirt is amazing!
John, this is how I look at everything crappy that happens in my life... With a deep cynicism for dark humor. I once broke my leg walking up a wheelchair ramp of all things! I also lost a tooth on a piece of jerky but told people that a COW knocked it out.
I appreciate your stories, on this channel the most. No offense, Ed.
“So I just fixed the car.” What a way to send that off huh
The “This can be red” shirt is hilarious lolol
Awesome story! Always engaging and one of the best story tellers on this channel. I am interested in how you got USAA for your insurance. Are you a vet, or was one of your relatives?
Almost everyone I know in NY has multiple vehicles. It is a necessity as there is almost no public transportation. Oh wait, you meant NY city not NY state. They are different world's.
You have to get the insurance from the murderer. Wow! Just when you thought you've heard it all. Hahaha! Great story!
I love car spotting in NYC. There are always some great obscure cars street parked.
😂😂 this should be a movie
This story was great. If anything it shows you how much of a racket car insurance is
This was hilarious because I could see trying to make an insurance claim like this 🤣
I have a playlist, called "Kerbital Mechanics" that I use to put interesting physics videos in from Kerbal Space Program, (a play on orbital mechanics,) that I now use as a catch-all for curious engineering and technology mishaps. "A corpse crashed something into my vehicle," feels like peak Kerbal behavior, for anyone who's familiar with the game, and I feel like this video definitely has a spot there.
USAA: You need to make a claim with the man who shot him
John Ficarra: Yeah no I'll just do it myself
Now I want to know if John ever suffered the the 24hrs of Lemons "Dead guy at the wheel in a 70's tv show" penalty
🤣🤣🤣 he’s story’s are the best!
Laughed out loud. John really knows how to tell a ripping yarn.
Love the shirt, that was one of my favorite stories.
I love this dudes car story’s😂
Everyone In my household walking past me the instant John says *GIVE MS YOUR CAR INSURANCE*
