    In 2024, that's not what a $500 T looks like. When the Dukes Chargers were destroyed, they weren't collectible like they are now.

    That said, it seems like there's an idea that older cars are now precious and should only be worshipped. The fact is that there's always a risk of any vehicle being destroyed whether by fire, during driving, being used for entertainment, etc. Sure, intentional destruction is frustrating and I was disappointed when I first saw the video when it came out, but one T doesn't negatively impact my life. It has given him over 10M views so that video made him way more than that T was ever going to be worth.

    We're going to cancel Bendpak because their products were present in a video that they have no content control over? I've had no interactions with Bendpak myself but they make good products, I personally wouldn't sway away from them just because someone whose methods I dislike has Bendpak lifts.

    Sorry, that kid is a fucking moron. Worse than that he probably has no skills other than tearing down, not building up. Yea, it’s his car. I get that argument but it’s also history that some future generation will not get to see. If he cut it up and made the car his own then it could be considered art and history. A snapshot of these modern times. Instead he destroyed it only to make scrap. Parts can’t even be used from it to help keep another car around or on the road. So very sad.

    The problem is that if you watched the video you’re part of the problem also.
    YouTube has got people and not only young people doing what ever they can to get views and it doesn’t matter what gets in the way.

    Seems to me he is getting the exact reaction he was aiming for...
    And no, I didn't bother to watch it.

  7. There weren't a lot of older cars in the town where I grew up.
    The Demolition Derby track was a short drive the other side of the county line.

    I watched one of his videos years ago before I knew what his schtick was. I just thought; What a retard. And never watched another one.

  11. It amazes me that people have now judged an entire generation based on one YouTube video.

    maybe it’s not the younger people that are the problem.

    What if you watched 3 minutes of it then gave it a thumbs down? Does they still get paid if the viewer gives a thumbs down?

    If you watch the first twenty seconds is all it takes is what I’ve heard from YouTubers. I think that’s why some have a long intro.

    So the thumbs down means nothing? I'm going to have to change my YouTube watching habits.

    willfull destruction
    Drug dealers do well for themselves , doesn't mean anyone should condone their actions . willfull destruction for its own sake is distasteful at best .

    30 seconds at one time counts as a view.

    The thumbs down button only indicates to the creator whether you liked the video or not. It doesn't do anything else.

    Actual watch time is what ticks up views.
     
  20. If you watch any portion of this imbacil, at leats make sure to give him a down vote.

    I am not defending this kids waste of his money destroying cars and machinery, far from it!

    Watching him is very much like watching a pissed off Jack Russel terrier, destroying a vintage, rare, antique, over stuffed couch!

    YouTube is a modern day 24/7 Universe all of its own. It's incredible entertainment, of all categories from A to Z.

    It can be very informative and interesting, depending upon what ever topic one chooses, but that being said, the unique realm of YouTube and its monitization element, has shown the world, that a person can make money from posting videos of just about anything and people will watch it!

    P.T. Barnum would have loved to have been able to be a participant in it, if he were alive today!

    Shouldn't have been on the list at all. They make thin metal junk lifts. Rotary or Challenger are the only ones to debate.

  25. Is this young guy slightly tarted or something? He kind of reminds me of the people of the future on the documentary/film "Idiocracy"
    .
    I can tell you this He's exactly why we need to federally defund the public school system because clearly it isn't working correctly anymore.
    In 1916 that was no Great depression it was a war time economy. The depression happened in 1929 and it took a few years to really get ramped up (and arguably it's why the Model A did not sell even more) arguably the height of the depression was probably about 1933 or 4 but I digress because I got a feeling I am preaching to the choir on this website.

    As a lover of history it bothers me that people are so stupid or even worse they think they are funny when they are acting stupid.
    I get why he's destroying the Model t's It's clickbait and bad comments are still comments for feeding that algorithm, thr way to fix this is hit the three little dots and hit do not show me this channel again.
    I am sorry I watched this Lucky for me I turned it off about 10 seconds after the first one was yanked off the top rack and landed on its back.

    Some people feed off negative energy. By thinking about and commenting on and talking about the thing that upsets you, just gives it more power over you. It's difficult to do, but I try to just not let crap like that bother me and try not to think about it.

    I'd rather think about and spread positivity. This is a great message board and I have met sooo many awesome people. Brothers and sisters in my car world.
