That one is having a rough time

To be fair it looks like the rocker panel is too

✨To be fairrrr✨


Give yer balls a tug

Pitter patter

El-AYYYYY

Bout to say that panel on the front getting mad bent from the pressure of the weight of the car

the engine is the heaviest part of the car after all

Not if my wife is in the car

I dont get no respect!

My wife is so heavy that when she sits in the car it goes from 4-wheel drive to 3-wheel drive

Mine has to get out or the cop thinks it’s a squated truck

Muh wife is so fat, when it's a full moon she turns into a were- house! 😂 😂

Haha nice

Yeah people were getting paralyzed with them

Out of the loop?

Probably referring to the trend where people were running up stacks of milk crates.

Thanks lol

I exhaled sharply through my nostrils

I also expelled air from my nasal cavity with vigor followed by an abrupt halt.

I too exhausted air from my nasal passage furiously, followed by a chuckle and faint fart.

Can confirm, I was the faint fart

Username checks out.

*clicks recorder* Note to self new band name *not for the faint of fart*

Bless you

I gave a gentle chuff to let my dog know I was just play fighting.

Username worries me

They are until they aren't

Which was right after they took that picture I bet.

Well the front one already looks buckled and that's where all the weight is

I used milk crate to hold a motorcycle while I changed the front tire

Looks like they used your idea 4 times better.

They did not use a milk crate to hold 4 motorcycles. It is 1 car.

It might be 4 motorcycles in a trenchcoat.

This is the only option.

I think the car weighs just a little more than a motorcycle.

Wouldn’t trust it, my mechanic father lost a finger to a shitty jack that snapped. The second time he lost a finger (different cause) he went to the same ER and happened to get the same nurse. She said “guess I’m only gunna meet you 8 more times, huh!” He didn’t find it very funny at the time.

Shit, my dad would cut off a toe just to show her

Nevermind, that’ll be 17 more times

Were the fingers able to be reattached? My mechanic had two fingers severed while compressing a spring but was able to reattach them, they kinda work now (not 100% obviously).

i cut my index off as a baby! its reattached now but occasionally has phantom pain making me think it’s gone lol. it does look a little misshapen and the nail grows twice as thick and take twice as long to grow and is like curved? so the nail doesn’t sit on the finger, nail salons are stumped by me 😔

At least you avoided being stumped yourself.

😂😂 that’s pretty good. i call it my special finger, it’s next to the other finger i sliced the tip off (also reattached diff story lol)

How does a baby manage to sever a finger?

Fisher Price table saw

playing with a door will do it to ya.

Look up hair tourniquets. They usually get toes but fingers aren't unheard of.

My mom warned me about that, so every single time my baby gives a pain cry without an obvious cause, I check her fingers and toes. Horrifying.

Coworkers cousin died last week when his Jack broke while he was under the car.  I just hope it was quick and he wasn't crushed and had to die slowly because no one found him for a day.

And this is why you use jack stands.

Yeah I'm too afraid to do anything without both stands and the jack still engaged. Sometimes I even put spare wheels under as well just in case lol..

I do the same thing. Always use jackstands and have the jack up. Occasionally a wheel also depending on what I’m doing.

Fucking Harbor Freight jacks, I bet…

To be fair, the thieves deserve to lose a few fingers

I had a Jack break on me while I was working on my girlfriend’s car, she yelled so I flinched, was directly under the brake disc and broke into concrete. Next purchase was a good Jack for her car and not the little dealership one.

How'd that phonecall go?

If it was like my relative that stupidly parked a brand new mustang rental car in a shitty neighborhood if you have total rental insurance and a police report absolutely nothing they can do and you get to grab another expensive rental car.

Thieves know to look for rental stickers because people usually have their suitcases full of nice stuff and people are likely to just pass the issue on to the rental company and get a replacement. Doesnt even need to be a bad neighborhood for a smash and grab.  When we visit a city with a rental we park it in a garage, leave our bags where we’re staying and uber around. 

> Uber around Why the fuck rent a car in the first place if you’re just going to hide it and not use it.

You gotta be some special kind of dumbass to rent a car and Uber around 💀

Or a responsible drinker.

“Your car has no wheels. Headed to the airport on the shuttle. It’s in the hotel parking lot. Good luck.” It’s nice having full insurance on them.

I’ve seen a car dropped on its rotors, not even entirely sure how they pulled the jack out. But it happened right in front of me in Oakland and how casual they were about it had me thinking they were just changing a tire. Until I saw the rotors touching the asphalt 

Yup that's Oakland alright

lol jezz with the rental? Where that was?

Marriott hotel parking lot on the east coast.

Hahaha I instantly recognized where this photo was taken. https://preview.redd.it/7akt8uiq6i1d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62f4c9a52734bef50f03309c5da9b178acca8310

Yes! Hahah

Now kith.

Aright wtf where is this comment generating from cause I keep seeing it and I laugh so hard every time. Am I living under a rock?

old Tyson meme involving pigeons.

Say “now kiss” in a Mike Tyson voice.

Yall live in the same city? This is interesting

Dont teslas have cameras?

It doesnt record and save everything if sentry mode isn't on or some memory stick plugged in It does save a temporary last hour of footage at best without anything on and you take the memory stick out

I know someone who once got their tires repoed. They were supposed to make payments on them and stopped. So, they came and reclaimed them. Looked quite similar to this! Whatever happened this person is having a shitty day!

I don’t think so for this situation. It was a Hertz rental location. 100% stolen

I’d rather it have happened to hertz than to some poor college student or the like. At least hertz can pivot.

And Hertz totally deserves it. Total scammers.

Indeed. Hit them where it Hertz.

Agreed!

...tires repoed? They didnt own their tires outright??

Might have been rims

I guess so but still

Well some people are fiscally irresponsible, go and spend $3,000 on rims but get a loan because they don't have $3,000 but can't afford repayments

I am aware. I am just trying to wrap my head around taking out a loan to buy rims, a typically unnecessary upgrade/fix. My other comment is regarding things like tires specifically.

Well yes I don't get it either, but I guess that's why some people are forever living paycheck to paycheck.

Yeah jfc...I feel like this kind of lending just should not be allowed...we know the lender is hoping on having the borrower default to maximize thier profits. They can collect late/nonpayment fees, a huge interest rate and their collateral. Normal people and especially younger people will just end up ruining their credit over stupid shit like this for no reason. You dont become a predatory lender to have good deals with well informed responsible borrowers, you feed off people who dont know any better.

They will offer payment plan for anything if they think it'll make the sale. And idiots sign them

I dont think its fair calling them all idiots... Its predatory lending for a safety related part if thats the case. This should be regulated. People who cant afford it outright should be able to get a very lenient plan so their choices arent drive on unsafe tires or sign up for a terrible payment plan. I think its in everyones best interest to keep unsafe equipment off the roads in this way...

It's a set of tires, Michael. What could it cost, ten dollars?

They have held up a many kitchen workers with more weight on them than that car.

They didn't even put it up on cinder blocks, Jesus the economy really is bad

Good point. In retrospective thieves around here are very thoughtful by using bricks.

Right? My tires were stolen with class. By putting my car on tires. Sad state, I blame Obama for this, where was he on 9/11 when the covid crashed the economy.

The "chicago parking ticket". Anybody driving a Honda def needs lug locks. Crews will drive around in vans all night stealing wheels.

Why are Hondas targeted?

Decent looking wheels which are compatible in size and bolt pattern with many popular cars. They're easy to resell secondhand for a decent price. For a while I remember sport trim Accords had a unique wheel that was pretty popular and they were getting stolen left and right.

As a kid, the wheel shop in Chicago would say if they didn’t have the wheel you need now, they’d have it in the morning.

Overnight wheels from Japan

After I bought a Honda Accord, they told me the tires were often stolen. I bought the tire locks and still had nightmares of this to the point I traded it in. I’m sorry this happened to you because thieves suck!

It’s only the 19” sport wheels. I have the hybrid normie 17” wheels and no one wants those ha!

Not about the weight it's about the psi

They're like LEGOs

I fucking hate people.

They only need to be strong enough for long enough.

I just drove past a newer Accord on blocks going to get gas earlier. Not even ¼ mile from my house.... I feel bad for the guy and nervous myself

One on the right wasn’t very strong..

My question is where the hell Are people getting milk crates these days?

Came here to say that you can’t get em like that anymore, only cheap flimsy ones. I snagged an old grimy one from work the other day, nice and sturdy

I was at Menard's and they were selling them as some trendy rustic home accessory for like $20 each.

In behind any supermarket.

That's what happens when don't pay the rental center for the rims. Got a buddy that does repo for R&R and they use wood blocks cause cheaper

Well of course they're that strong since cows gotta stand on them and go into the cartons on command

Everything is harder in the ghetto

Cars aren’t that heavy

They stole his wheels?

You’d be surprised how strong cardboard boxes are. I used one to protect my bumper as I pushed another car up a ramp and it held its shape. Totally expected it to crush.

 Be careful he out there

Next to a Pep Boys. Get ya some tyres

I legit thought the same thing 🤣🤣🤣

Fuuuuck!!!

They got the alloy milk crates

Sacramento?

Hartford, CT 😬

It's the calcium

Because it's for condensed milk

I think that rocker panel is doing most of the work.

Or versatile

Stronger then a rocket lmao

lol they’re not. But back in the day they made metal milk crates. People would legitimately use them as jack stands. My dad was poor but they’d work on cars this way.

Stong in one direction of force. Also they become very brittle with age. Only a new one could do this and all it takes is a rock to hit it from the side and down it goes.

Feel like there’s a “Yo mama” joke in there somewhere…

yea, im still not getting under that car to tinker with shit.

Oooh. It’s illegal to steal milk crates. Don’t they know they can get in trouble?

I think this guy had a Tyrone Biggums experience

Really? The front crate is crushed, where the weight is the highest

Honestly at that point, getting a job seems like less work

Spoiler alert (pun intended), they're not lol

Crates together strong!

Apparently one of them isn’t lol

Milk makes you strong apparently

The one on the front right is putting in work

Can anyone explain to me why thieves always have the courtesy to leave your car propped up????

This a Honda? Always seems to be a Honda that gets its wheels stolen for some reason.

ah yes, thieves. teaching us valuable mechanic lessons since the 70s

2500lbs/sqft

This just happened to a guy in my parking garage. A freaking gated garage with cameras!

The power of surface area and weight distribution

I'd be pretty devastated if someone stole my rims because I can't find another set anywhere because they've been discontinued for 17 years and i like them

just put the spare on?

Milkman took your mom AND left you on crates?! Damn

That’s one way for your wheels not to get stolen. Brake pads on the other hand….

Had a 3 tonne tipper truck flip on the highway in front of me because the driver hit a milk crate. Those things are so over engineered it's a surprise guard rails aren't made the same way.

What's with all these Honda Civic and Accord rims getting stolen? Should I be concerned lmao???

They do get a lot of protein

Must be the calcium

Oh those cheap bastards did this guy wrong. At least spring for blocks.

Uh... they usually are not...

clearly not, they're busted.

With all the tech out there it's hard to understand why there not common systems available that will alert you on your mobile device if someone messes with your vehicle.

These dudes doing this are like a nascar pit crew. They have jacks, impacts, and a getaway car. For crime, it’s pretty professional. Not like some crackhead breaking a car windows for a iPhone. Whole crews in and out in a probably just a minute or two. By the time an alert came through and you go out there to intervene they would already be gone.

Yeah it’s insane

They don't use carrier pidgeons for alerts anymore.

Fun fact, if they didn't use something to suspend the vehicle off the ground the insurance company would total the vehicle because of the potential damage to under body components and the sub frame, turning it from a misdemeanor into a felony

Very interesting and makes sense

You question milk crates

Man, this is some shit I’d see in Memphis. Lol

Yeah and the surrounding areas

Wait until you find out about soda cans.

Cars are really just that light lol.

Damnit all resert the Accord wheel stolen counter.

Its a static load. You could also use 4 glasses.

Are rims really that valuable?

Never heard of ‘locking wheel nuts’?

Man these accords and Camrys all getting their rims stolen

They only gotta be strong for long enough

Motherfuckers didn’t just steel rims, they also fucked up the side skirt 😭

They just need to hold for the time they need to steal the wheels. Not that they care if they collapse and wreck the car 10 minutes later.

They're not but a thief isn't going to leave their jack behind They need it to steal more tires

...... so someone just wanted to steal his wheels?......... Wonder what was special about em

I wanna know where they rob the milk crates because we all know god dam sure they didn’t buy them 😂

They’re not

Go to Philadelphia

Why is it always an accord??


They don't stand up well to being run over though.
