    1. That's what everybody else wants to know, too.

    2. Bad starter would be my guess

    3. I think she learned or tried to learn that from her husband. Probably a starter going bad.

    4. Beats me. I've been around and working on cars my whole life, and I don't have a clue as to what she is trying to do, other than beat it into submission or make a loose connection make contact.
      Or maybe the squirrel needed to wake up and start running in the exercise wheel to get one of those new fangled hybrids moving?

    5. I second the bad starter. I had a tractor that often needed a couple wacks on the starter.

    6. I agree, it's the starter and/or the starter solenoid. I've done the same thing, giving it a whack to make it work. I replaced the starter in short order, but the whack job worked until I got the new starter.

    7. Russian.

      Sign that I can see. Entrance 3 meters.

      There’s more out of focus and too fast for my old eyes to read.

    9. Trying to open radiator cap?

    10. Bad solenoid. We had that trouble on a Ford Falcon, about 1975. Had to hit it with a hammer to get it to work. Wife was driving co-workers to lunch and had that happen. She got out and lifted the hood and started banging on everything as she didn't remember what was the solenoid. That worked, but the co-workers chalked it up to the magic power of an angry woman.

    11. Probably a PSA about letting a woman raise the hood of a car.

    12. Turkish impact wrench.

    13. Starter solenoid contacts frizzed? Had it happen to an old Tacoma. Bought a contact kit and rebuilt it for a fraction of a new starter.

    14. As a Jet Mechanic, I've done that trick a few Times with the Air Valve that feeds the Starter Motor.
      Big Jets have an Air Starter fed from the Auxiliary Power Turbine- 120 PSI and 600 CFM. The Starter Valve gets gummed up with Dirt and a sharp blow in the right place while the Pilot holds the Switch On usually does it.
      Then you have to get the Cowling Closed and Latched before the Engine spools up enough to Suck you into the Fan...

    15. I thought she had a vampire in there.

    16. Pounding on alternator to push it a little tighter and stop the squall.

    17. Could be the Basil Fawlty method! LoL

    18. Starker here, well after all of these posts, I have to put my twenty cents in. Starter solenoid contacts, are burned & or dirty. Hitting it jars things into place. I had a Toyota van that would go through contacts every 4-5 months. It really sucked laying under it it the rain. But that can was great for family & camping.

    1. Starker here, he may have just been awarded a Darwin. He only has to take himself out of the genepool, death or nutted.

    1. No, you're not. Missed him by _that_ much. Darn.

    2. Nope. I hate Road-rats with a passion.

    3. Cyclist was travelling too fast for filtering through slow moving heavy traffic. On cycle or motorcycle it is a acceptable practice but needs to be done slowly and with great care. People open their doors without looking as well as changing lanes.

    4. Bikers like that are just assholes. If you’re on the fucking road follow the rules or get crushed.

    6. There are different rules / laws in different states and countries. This video appears to be from Europe where filtering is legal and encouraged.

  6. #1. No signal.
    #3 something frozen that should not be.
    #5 ad #7 are weird tricks.
    #10 did not know how fast the fuse would burn

    But all are pretty good for a Thursday.

  7. #1, who was recording, and where are the 5-10 seconds before the start of the video? I will bet bike boi was weaving thru traffic and jumped around just before the mini made their lane change. When a two-wheeler goes that much faster than traffic, splits lanes and weaves in and out they should expect to get sideswiped.

    The Mini did a safe lane change. Bike Boi put himself in danger.

    1. Mini didn't use turn signal. I still wished he'd gotten knocked off.

      Delete
    2. The video didn't SHOW the Mini using a turn signal. That may be why it was edited the way it was.

  8. I think #10 is an air bag from a car.

  9. I had an 1966-68 (I don't remember the exact year) Ford van (fried out combi) that had a faulty Bendix and a tap with a crowbar would work every time.

  10. #3 Is she using a short sword as a hammer?

    1. Looks kind of like an AK47 Bayonet to me.

      Delete
    2. A large knife in a sheath, e.g. a Bowie knife. It could be an M3 Trench Knife if it's dirty enough to change the color. It's not a bayonet; there is no hardware on the side of the hilt to connect it to a gun muzzle.

      It may say something about the culture of wherever this is that a fighting/camp utility knife is more readily available than a hammer - and not only to a hunter or sheepherder, but to a woman.

  11. Starter on my '71 K20 would get heat soaked- would not start after fueling. Aggravating.
    A couple of whacks w/ jack handle got it fired up.
    A heat shield between the starter and exh. pipe solved the problem.

  12. #6 made me think of Cows With Guns.

  13. #1 did NOT end as I hoped.

    #2: I have an idea why her knee is wrapped.

    #5: It only takes a light tap and the right shape to break a car window, and the Dindu's all know this.
