Unless you live under a rock, you’ve seen at least one “will it run?” Video. A YouTuber introduces a chosen vehicle to take a roadtrip or just get running at all. Usually it’s in a junkyard or farm field - been sitting for years too. I used to highly enjoy watching these videos, until after watching a dozen or so more, I got tired of the predictable results. Except for one memorable exception, every single vehicle has ran and moved on its own power.
It’s getting annoying.
These YouTubers make it seem like there is a plethora of easily fixable cars all across American junkyards and farms. The decayed junky cars just need a battery and some point cleaning, and some starting fluid, and bam! They start - Almost every time.
But I can’t help but wonder; what about the failures? Why don’t more of these videos end with total failure? No head gasket issues, no engine knocking, no seized engines. Why? Do you think these YouTubers omit these videos due to lack of view potential, or they make sure to pre-screen these cars behind the scenes? What do you guys think? I’m smelling fish.
