The Whole reason he didn't tow it to the wizard's Garage is because he doesn't want to be labeled as a towing test channel again.
If I have a car that won't shift and hasn't brake lights for a safety standpoint I would have towed it
@@michaelcoonce6694 if only you'd know what people do with cars in less fortunate places...
@@michaelcoonce6694 he didn't know it didn't have brake lights
@@piuthemagicman I see it all the time. With no brake lights and irratic shift it could have caused an accident.
I thought he had a good relationship with the local tow truck driver. 😎
Tyler should accept that being humiliated is part of life.....but let's be honest he still has a bunch of Lambos......
@@lukewalker1051 and then she says, "what color are your dads Lamborghinis and Ferraris?"
That"humiliation" gives him money making content
How much effort does it take to get that Lambo into gear?
"if you have to ask..."
most of us would push a push a murci to work everyday with a smile on their faces
as if he doesnt have a trailer with a wench
and a truck to tow it
I love that Tyler drove the Lambo to the Car Wizard's knowing that he would have to stop. He embarrassed himself for our viewing pleasure instead of having it towed. Thank you!
tyler earns clicks by looking like a goob. and we prosper as well haha
That's his schtick...,"I'm a dumbass, watch this"....and its entertaining. I think he's actually really a quality human. Like buying peoples hoopties, and. .giving the money back, right in the Holidays when money is tight. Respect.
I was pushing my Bulgatti last monday, but I had no cameras to recorded it.
Yeah, he could have just towed it with his EV Ford Lightening and did another towing review! lol
@@jamesevans9209 I have a "Chevy Celta" here in Brazil, and I never have to push it.
Tyler pushing the lambo was the funniest thing I’ve seen in days 😂😂😂
Kan John I mean he could have his wife bring his Ford "Lightning" and towed it with that.
I was pretty impressed at how quick he jumped back in like he was used to doing that all the time
Damn I hate when my Murci embarrasses me in public 😂
I'm so embarrassed by my Maserati
lets be honest the name of the car works both ways. oh god the trans I busted lambo give my mercy please :)
@@RioZLander it doesnt since its murcy and not mercy
😂😂😂
You know my merci has never embarrassed me….oh wait
When I am having a tough day, seeing you pushing a Lambo somehow makes everything better. Thanks for being you Hoovie!
😂😂😂
I did that will my air-cooled Vdub 30 years ago. A lot.
I could definitely handle the embarrassing moments like that if I were able to drive lambo to the shop test out my Porsche then drive my Ferrari home. Not a bad day really. But seriously, congratulations on all your successes and thanks for making these videos
Hard to say...it is pretty embarassing..........especially when you know other people would laugh because it's a lambo of all things lmao
That magic restart sequence reminds me of some cars from my early days, where I would only park them at the top of a hill, to have the option of a free-wheel bump start if the electrics let me down. And I used to play the same game of timing stop lights when the clutch hydraulics would fail. I guess "Progress" is a relative thing! 😁
There's a wonderful duality of thinking in being 'humiliated' while driving one of the greatest cars of the 21st century. This is why Hoov's channel is head and shoulders above the rest. Love you Hoovie.
I would say it's kind of at the back of the line when it comes to that list. I guess if we're talking about the best car to drive a few times before you lost the privilege LOL Lamborghini might drive faster than my Toyota but only faster to the junkyard
Greatest cars? I have never had my 2006 mini cooper ever leave me at the side of the road…and my 92 corvette c4, not to mention my 54 chevy bel aire…
I mean, if you see someone pushing a car like that, you definitely chuckle to yourself.
But I love the fact that Tyler is willing to limp it to the Wizard instead of having it towed up there. Yes he's doing it for content, but the content is why we're here.
😂
I mean its a hunk of shit so there is that...
Great safety design--strand the driver if the brake light switch breaks. Meanwhile, allow the car to be push started with no one in the driver's seat and the door open (and obviously in-gear).
I think it's in neutral - he pulls the paddle as he jumps in. You can't expect a safety feature to work with a defective part. Obviously you need to have the brake pedal depressed when you put it in gear - and that safety feature needs to be turned off as soon as the car moves. Cars have a number of simple things that will leave you stranded if they don't work. I think the set-up it as good as it can get.
How would you do it?
It's something certainly developed by the Italian (born and/or raised) part of the car. 😁
I think the actual safety feature is the fact it shifts itself to neutral if you're sitting in place for a long time without the brakes applied, that's what was getting him stuck.
take your pick, forcing the car to stay in first gear at stops so it cooks clutches every oil change or being like every car on the market and having a shift lockout that required the brake pedal to be depressed to shift into gear
Hoovie gets HUMILIATED in traffic and still shows it to us. Don't go changing Tyler, you the man. Greetings from Canada!
...And swearing just softly enough for UA-cam captioning to not hear it over the engine noise :D
I normally think “patina” is used as an excuse for not affording a new paint job however Apollo 911’s patchy paintwork gives it a real cool 996 Outlaw feel. Wish Tyler was spending more time on cars like this, and generating content actually using them.
My wife had a Jetta and that same switch was on her car, in 4 years it failed 3 times. To the point, a local dealership gave me 2 to keep on hand. Simple replacement and helpful to have an extra when the car strands your wife after work at 6am.
I had a jetty that if you accelerated too hard would go into neutral for a second then back into drive. Was that possibly the same thing? I sold the car and hope it wasn't too easy a fix
lol i had a 2015 elantra that had a splash guard that kept falling down and rubbing against the tires, sometimes getting stuck on them. You could pop it back but that would only last til you got above 20mph. After numerous times stopping on the side of the road to fix it i eventually just ziptied it back up and kept industrial zip ties in my glove box in case it ever fell down again. Woulda taken it to the shop but that was a $500 fix bc it was all one piece and those zip ties were maybe $6 and one zip tie lasted well over 6 months at a time
@@16driver16 The reason it does that is that the computers are trying to "help" (out-think) you and so manual control never really is any more. It's why I won't buy anything with paddle shifting as it does stupid things like that. My father's car, an Audi, operates like a manual but when hitting the brakes below about 35mph will revert back to automatic/shift to the highest gear. I get why it does that - to not stall the engine, but then you are hunting for a gear all the time on mountain roads and slow turns (it simply won't stay in 2nd gear reliably when decelerating)
Another fun thing is having the rev limiter at different points in every gear. WHY? I dunno. Welcome to VW Group cars?
My Mustang... old school manual. No issues, no expenses going on 8 years and 130K miles. Original clutch and just does what you tell it to. Once I disabled the hill assist feature (sort of complicated process, similar to BMWs and their hidden features) it's been dead simple to operate.
@@plektosgaming what are you talking about?! My jetta had a automatic transmission no manual anything it was fully loaded as well as 280xxxmi. Second, no paddle shifters do not work like that in MOST cars with them... my gfs automatic miata will absolutely stay in whatever gear it's put into in manual mode that's how you do the good donuts is 2nd gear TCS off. Maybe your talking about cars like my grandma's hyundai with "manual" mode will shift automatically if you hit redline or idle but it's not actually made to drive like that unless your towing on hills.
@@16driver16 probably bad motor / transmission mounts. Motor and transmission probably moved enough that it pulled on the shift cable enough to pop it into neutral, then when the power from the motor was disconnected and everything settled back into place went back into drive. Probably a super simple fix.
Tyler needs to see about obtaining "BATTERY TENDER" as a Sponsor (as you need about 12+ Units) so you can outfit your entire Garage and Rack for every "vehicle slot" plus a couple extra to keep battery purchasing costs down!
My battery tender was one of the best purchases I have made. And I only have 3 cars and a motorcycle.
Lame, cars are for driving not sitting
Its more fun when he jump starts the Porsche with the Ferrari
I love how this video is more real and feels much less scripted. Super awesome vid would love more like this!
My day isn't complete unless I hear Tyler say "Thank you for watching."
There's no better feeling than watch Tyler push a Lambo on the street!
Imagine forgetting the name of the $150,000 car you bought.
That bloody intro 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hoovie was in shambles
Welcome to Hoovies dumb, the garagest channel on YT!
I feel very welcome at Hoovie's Dumb, the Garagest channel in all of YouBoob. 😍
A little humble pie never hurt anyone. I’m fact, it lends perspective. Keep up the great content !
Just want to say how amazing it is to have a shop with real proffesionals close by. These guys definately know what they are doing, not your typical scammers. Hats off to them and I wish every enthusiast had access to a shop like this when they need help.
That was some smooth operation at the last stop light there!!! That same brake switch is pretty much identical to the one I had on MKIV GTI haha. That one would fail every 70-80k miles.
Every car person has had that "push to start" car at some point.
or a few. 🤣
Mine used to be from running out of petrol lol
I'm sure you never thought you'd be counting the amount of stops you'd be taking driving your Lamborghini to the mechanic 🤣 these are the type of problems I want in my life 😂😅
There's a lot of things you do on this channel that I don't understand or wouldn't do myself. But man do I have mad respect for you keeping Apollo 911 and keeping it running. What a unique car that's been around so long.
I had a related problem with my brakes last month involving a $10 disintegrated bushing. Always great when the repairs come out less than $100.
Sounds like the biden ball nut needs a good tugging and then sum lube to fix!
Tyler- I had That exact Part fail 4-5 times on my 2003 GTI. 80+ mile round trip to the dealership every time. Hopefully they have fixed it in the newer versions.
Man from Lamborghini to Porsche then into a Ferrari all in a afternoon.....life is fantastic for Hoovies on this day.
The “shit” under your breath @7:15 killed me lmfao
@KTW👆👆👆👆👆
Always great to see something other than tow tests!

He doesn't really do that was one or two vids it's content lol

@@jamesireland9188 that's the joke

Ohhh, u know Hoovie's mad when he doesn't even say "WHEEEZARD!". 😅
Don't worry, I got you, all the way from Trinidad (and days late, since you filmed 😂).
I remember my dad always telling stories of the cars of his youth. That was the way he related to me, a lifelong car buff.
When I was a little boy, I remember him driving a 1990 Pontiac Sunbird convertible. He would pull out of the driveway and
drive halfway down the street before putting on his seatbelt, something which I always lectured him for. When we moved out
of Flint, he kept the Sunbird for a few years and bought a 1993 Mazda Miata. Although most of the time the only thing dad
would want to talk about was his latest dungeons and dragons game, I remember going to car shows with him throughout my
childhood. He would tell stories of the 1967 Chevy Camaro RS/SS Convertible he had the privelage to drive when he got his
license, or the 1978 Pontiac Formula Firebird that replaced it. The 1971 Porsche 914 that his mother was gifted from his
father, or the 1980 Porsche 924 that his father bought to replace that. His stories were always about the cars.
My dad always had a story to relate to any car problem. Someone once broke into
his '78 Firebird and stole the registration, as if they thought they had the title to the car. He warned me that if I drove
the Miata in an urban area, not to put the top up because if someone wanted to break into it, the top cost more than the radio.
I remember taking my driver's test in my 1996 Saab 9000, and dad telling me about learning to parrallel park in a 1970s era Cadillac.
I only bought the Saab because dad had one similar to it, a 2003 9-5, and he loved it more than anything. When I turned 16
in 2004 I had my Saab to drive to school. At that same time Dad gave me the Miata, and my grandmother gave me her 1984 Cadillac ElDorado.
All the other kids in school hated me because I had such interesting and diverse cars to drive, or maybe just because I drove
a different car to school every day. In the summer of 2011 I had just bought myself a 2002 Grand Prix 40th anniversary
edition, and I remember remarking to one of my friends, "I wish our generation was gifted with the cars our parents had".
My friend commented that my Pontiac was my version, if not better, than the cars dad had when he was that age. Dad always warned
me that Chryslers had reverse threaded bolts, even in the early 2000s when he hadn't seen one in 30
years. I bought a 1996 Dodge Intrepid in 2008. Dad commented that he had never owned a Chrysler product before, and mom
admonished him that he still hadn't. His last car was a 2017 Dodge Caravan, that we bought
a year old. I remember telling him he finally got his Chrysler product. When I got older
I bought a Jaguar X-Type. Dad loved riding in that car. Even though I was driving him to physical therapy, he acted as though
I was driving him to the fanciest restaurant in town. I had sold his beloved Miata in 2012, but after 5 years I was finally
able to buy another one, a 2002 model. He never got to ride in that one, although he did love to share pictures of it online.
I learned my "car guy" ways from my dad, and even though he's gone I still will never forget the stories he told me, and I
will always be the car guy that dad raised me to be.
gives me flashbacks of 08 when i owned a Crossfire that would die at lights periodically and I couldn't stop at them. All these years later it's a known issue with the position sensors, but the techs back then were baffled lol
Always interesting watching videos from you, especially when your cars break. Thanks, Tyler!
Honestly, it's refreshing seeing these supercars acting like (very expensive) hoopties 🤣
Tyler actually said Hi to the wizard!! I think I like it when he says WEEZARD much better 😂😂😂😂😅
As an independent dealer myself, I've been in this type of situation quite a few times. Nothing like being in an exotic car at a stoplight and everyone is checking you out, but instead og driving off it starts revving high and goes nowhere.
Should've pulled donuts in place until it was your light.
if there’s one way to be embarrassed i think this might be the best one
This is one of the few you tube channels that still make me laugh.
What i would give to come across Hoovie pushing a Lamborghini through an interaction.
when hoovie picks up the farrari thinking everything is good..... the airvents popping out is like it asking him to hold its beer 😂
Another great truck towing review, Hoovie! Keep up the great work 🙃
I like the new hooptie push to put in gear mode 😜
Nice towing test 10/10 exactly why I subscripe
I like how the Apollo 911 tows, seems quite 5/5. Gotta get me a LS 911 for my camping trips.
"welcome to hoovies dumb". What a line. You can bet that i'll start using that every time i do something real dumb
@👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one that has bad luck with cars😂 stuff be breaking every other week
The air vent flying out on acceleration 😂😂😂
Getting out of the car to do the tow himself, incredible!!!
😂😂😂
This hooptie video will definitely end up in the 'Classics' series. Thank you Tyler!
That Star trek moment made wizard look like bubbles from trailer park Boys
List of mods to consider:
Manual swap;
Paint the creme leather to black;
Carbon fiber roof top.
As he stopped at lights,how many people do you think said,"There's something you don't see everyday",and then Tyler steps out and starts pushing?
I’m guessing it’s not an unusual sight around Wichita
"I ain't never seen THAT before..."
Good to see Apollo 911 driving again. You buying that was a big influence on me buying my 997, which I'm about 5 and half years of relatively trouble free owner ship.
"Welcome to hooves dumb the garagest channel in all of UA-cam." Literally lost it at that!
Video starts with having to hop out and push the Lambo, ends with the Ferrari throwing an HVAC vent into your lap... classic Hoovie
Holy cow...please tell me you are going for a trinity of mid 2000s gated manual V12s with the 599, Murci and Vantage! I think that beats the silver BMW assemblage!
Working at Porsche, the easiest way I moved cars in the showroom was just grabbing the wheels and turning them.
@LamboDEB👆👆👆👆
I love Hoovies videos
been watching since he started on UA-cam
Just cut a hole in the floorboard so you can do a “Fred Flintstone” and get it in gear! Yaba Daba Doo! 🦶🦶🤣😎
Hoovie I love all your videos. The hoopties, the exotics, the trips. Keep up the awesome content!
Tyler it's videos like this, that are super nice to watch - Awesome hooptie fleet you have 👌👍
Back in the early 2000s I was a parts guy at a VW dealership ,and we stocked about 50 or more of those brake light switches because they would fail so regularly. The BMW SMG trainsmission that is pretty much identical to this will not go into gear if the hood is popped, I learned that not too long ago.
That was awesome run starting the lambo in traffic 💪
There's nothing more embarrassing than breaking down in traffic in a supercar... Unless it's bright orange convertible supercar.
Hoovie, you genuinely displayed a most humble demeanor as you exerted your back while pushing your prized Lambo with care and dexterity. Consider changing your perspective, ask yourself how many drivers that were fortunate enough to witness your plight, would give a digit from their left hand to own your collector's quality Lambo? Ask yourself how many men would be seen pushing their beautiful orange convertible Lambos down streets in captivating Central Kansas.? It's those Lambos buzzing in and out of Wizards' that make the area exclusively captivating. Thanks for your awards, I sincerely appreciate your compliment. Please give them to another recipient of your choice, for I am just an ordinary average guy. I am honored for your recognition, many thanks Hoovie and Wizard!! Together your videos are superb because you tell the truth in a most delightful way.
So much fun to watch this. The orange lambo would be a dream for me to drive....it looks super modern. Brilliant shiny orange. SADLY I'M sure i don't fit. I amd 6'8"....i wouldn't even fit in the cabin. Enjoy driving this car tyler for all of us who can't.
Surprised your mechanic diagnosed it so quickly. Similar issues occur on bmw bikes with blown stop bulbs
Which BMW bikes? Never heard that one.
@@loomspace R & K series from about 2000 to 2005. iABS was the model of abs used - bmw thought it was a good idea to equip their bikes with servo assisted ABS. When it goes wrong it can total the bike easily as nobody commercially repairs the unit.
The accidental honk was the icing on the cake when pushing the car haha
I love living vicariously through Hoovies Garage
It's still weird that the brake system should throw the TCU into safe mode when there's a fault and that would limit you to second gear. I'd still keep an eye on it. Hopefully the switch is the answer.
Tyler, please tell the Wizard to have that "Lambo" laptop imaged for safety. if the drive fails on that laptop. it's done probably.
@@Wontreplyeverdontbother Working in IT myself, those old XP drives can actually be cloned as-is.(with Windows 7 being the last easy to image/clone OS) I'd highly recommend moving to a solid state drive to have one less point of failure - and just keep the mechanical drive as a spare. Apricorn makes a great adapter for that era of machine and getting to the hard drive is basically as simple as removing a couple of screws. Ah, the days before everything was glued and welded together. Those machines are dead simple to operate.
NOTE - with a spare, he can find a same model/SKU of the same laptop and keep THAT as a spare. XP was like that - it simply didn't care about the drive and all you had to do was drop the cloned drive in and re-install the drivers. At the time we could have a person up and running in 30 minutes, mostly due to the time it took to get updates and fiddle with their user settings. NOW... it's a nightmare since a Win 10 "image" is basically a rough template and it's a good 2 hour process to get a machine ready and copy their user data over. It's actually just as quick to simply install from scratch in most cases.
At this point tyler should invest in a ramp truck and or a towing company.
Hoovie doesn't actually DRIVE his cars, he just takes them out and tries to get them closer to The Wizard before they get towed. This channel is not only about saving money on towing, but saving the world by burning less gas. Good job!
Welcome to hoovies dumb the garagest channel- love it tyler
I wonder if you could have just revved it in neutral as you approached the light and kept revving it as you switch back into drive.
Was the push to start option optional or was it standard?
Love watching your videos Tyler
Standard with all Briggs and Straton mowers.
Fun thing about those VW brake switches: they have some overcomplicated mechanism that engages as you turn the switch clockwise during installation.
When you remove the brake switch, that internal collar turns and the switch will test as a dead switch. You can ONLY test them while installed, otherwise the internal mechanism effectively disables the two switches once the switch is removed from its bracket.
And yes, it is effectively two switches in one. The half of the switch for the brake lights has no continuity (open) with the pedal released, then has continuity (closed) once the pedal is pressed and sends power to the brake lights.
The other switch works the opposite way and sends its signal to the engine computer as a double check against the brake light switch itself. It sends power with the pedal not being pressed, then goes open circuit as you press the brake pedal.
Those two signals should flip at the exact same time or the engine computer gets angry and sets a "brake switch implausible signal" code.
So it's not good at towing. Thanks as always for a very informative video. Keep on towing.
That brake light switch issue seems to be common around this age. I have two 2002 Audi A6s and both had this very switch fail within the last few years. Probably the same is used in this Murcielago too.
My S3 had problems with the brake light switch, wouldn't accelerate sometimes ( great when pulling out from side streets ) took Audi 3 months to trace it.
"At VW, we spell Kwality with a capital K!"
@@nicholasvinen to be honest I don't see much wrong with having to replace a switch in a 18-20 year old car.
@@DANIELGT500 things can go wrong after 20 years but a switch should be more reliable than that. One person in the comments said they had to replace this same switch three times in two years! So I think it is a low-quality part. How many 20-year-old Toyotas or Hondas have this problem? Very few, I bet.
@@nicholasvinen if someone had to replace it multiple times, they more than likely used a poor aftermarket part. It's not expensive to buy at all, even from a main dealer, so that's what I've done both times.
LS swaps are usually not my thing but somehow it works on a 911. Perhaps because so much of the 911-ness is retained simply by having the engine behind the rear axle. And the lightweight LS is not a bad replacement for the flat-6 and should offer some interesting changes to the performance characteristics
An LS swapped 911 is an embarrassment. That's so ghetto trash. Don't do it!
no
@@jguillot72 absolutely yes
@@jguillot72 Incorrect, try again
I had a new D-shaped wheel with digital display put on my C7....two weeks later she was DEAD. Turns out the steering wheel display was turning itself on based on the module it was connected to (my mechanic, not I) and it was enough to put the drain over the top...similarly easy fix and she's Back in Black!
That was me 10yrs ago with my delightful Jaguar XJS from 1985 (V-12). This was in Manhattan on 10th Avenue and 20th street. A magical time was had by all. Oh, this was rush hour.

Hope that info helps. In japan we clean the whole area, parts etc. Before fitting the new ones.. great practice. Like new.
This video reminded me when i first started watching this channel. You had nothing but hoopties.
Wow, not the normal “ thank you for watching ending” video feels incomplete.
Really interesting episode Hoovie, it’s amazing how one little part can topple “the whole pack of cards”..
Yeah - when it's a VW.
hey Tyler I wanted to start off by telling you that I absolutely love your content. I just came across a vehicle that I I feel would be really good for your channel. It's rare and German and almost 20 years old. It's a true enthusiast car.
I think you did great Tyler you handled that on the fly like a pro in zipped away like the sad Lamborghini owner you are. I love your content that exposes the truth behind Lamborghini and Ferrari LOL just kidding although you're troubles with Exotics has taught me quite a bit about what makes the car actually good. Keep it up Tyler!
It's all part of the Italian passion.
Tyler's humility gets him views. Hats off to you sir.
When I’m having a bad day from now on I’ll just think, at least I’m not having to push my Lamborghini today
@Britt Raney👆👆👆👆
Still a beautiful car and worth it.
This is really nice that you can change into another car while the other one is being fixed. This is Belinda by the way.
Hoovie!
I had an intermittent speedo glitch so I feel your pain.
I'm retired and had to spend 900$ to fix my Adrenaline Sport Trac.
I also feel your hope because mine works now also!
I laughed so hard if you watch your body Language after pushing it at the wizards and when you passed that old truck you tried to hide your face. real embarrassment at its finest. 16:46
Being humiliated while driving a Lambo seems to have a certain sense of yin and yang to it somehow.
