Everyone needs help with their car sometimes. But if you're on the hunt for factual information or helpful technical knowledge, online forums like Quora.com are NOT where you should begin your search. In this video, Nolan is joined by host of Money Pit, Zach Jobe. Together they scour the dark depths of Quora for some of the worst (and funniest) car advice the world wide web has to offer.

    Alright so maybe the tire guy thought the question was about literally mounting a tire on a wheel. They get a pass...for now 👀
  • @sanghelian
    Random person: simple car question mike: While you were out partying, i studied the engine.
  • @pligon09
    This Mike guy is the living example of the old adage: "If you are looking for an answer on the internet, don't post a question because no one will answer. Instead post the wrong answer and you'll be flooded with people telling you you're wrong."

    While in college, I was known as "the car guy". One of my coaches asked me if I could help him fix an oil leak in his Maxima. I of course said yes. Once I realized this was going to involve dropping the front subframe and replacing the entire oil pan I knew I was in way over my head. Refusing to admit the limits of my abilities, I posted the question on Quora. Some guy sent me all the sheets from the factory service manual with an annotated list of the steps and all the tools and part numbers I would need. I did the whole replacement in about 6 hours in my coaches driveway. Aside from the $100 and 12 pack of beer (probably an NCAA violation) the gains in clout were priceless. Those were the good old days of asking a serious question on the internet and getting a real and helpful response. Every day we stray further from god's light.
  • @Aguynamedhogan
    Dude was literally a finance manager at a dealership. THE LAST guy you wanna get advice from.
  • I love how this goes from “bad car advice” to “lol look at this guy on quora”
  • Mike: “45 years of driving and fixing cars” Every car answer from Mike: “Pay someone to fix it” lmao
  • @AutoSearPin
    Mike when talking about cars: “Stupid millennials..” This man bathes in self gratification
  • @AD-tn9rj
    Mike is the Anti-hero of Quora. It’s freaking hilarious 😂
  • Day 3 of reminding Donut that hiring Jobe was their best decision yet
  • @lawnmowerdude
    Q: What are some parallel parking tips? A: Buy a full-size pick up truck. Me: What?
  • @andreazoli6407
    "my car makes noise when I turn it on and then it goes away after a few minutes" The expert forgot: -Lame radio stations -Loud exhaust (when you turn off the car it should go away) -Kids stuck under the car
  • The mental image of a 60 yr old Mike working on his cars for 45 years wearing skinny jeans and Roche runs is killing me right now lol
  • @03wavvy30
    “Mike-45 years of driving and giving my cars” I’m convinced that’s actually Scotty Kilmer with all that shit talking
  • @soup5344
    I like how mike is so aggressive with cars but a reasonable human in fashion.
  • @tracyholder840
    The best one was the car dealer "Why start your relationship in a negative experience by haggling?" Probably because the average car dealer doesn't give sh*ts what happens to you or that car after the 3 month warranty runs out, and something WILL happen. Not a matter of if, just when.
  • @jacobfowler8795
    “How do I install a turbo?” Go into your player house or the Festival, go into tuning and customization, go to the end tab, click on aspiration, and click turbo. Easy peasy.
  • Donut should get mike on the “Fix this__ and keep it” Series, really put his 45 years of experience to the test
