43 Of The Worst And Funniest Car Fails Shared For Jimmy Fallon’s Challenge
Jimmy Fallon is at it again. For his recent #Hashtags segment, Jimmy has asked his viewers to share their biggest car fails. And oh Buick, did they deliver. I think it's safe to say that all drivers want to forget their dreadful trips to the mechanic ASAP, but when there's a chance to achieve temporary TV and internet fame... They tweet it to Jimmy Fallon for the whole world to see.

Let's just hope that they haven't done it while driving. The numbers highlighting the dangers of cell phone use while driving are just scary. To be clear, at any given time throughout the day, approximately 660,000 drivers are attempting to use their phones while behind the wheel of their automobile.
Smartphones have made it incredibly easy for us to stay connected at all times, however, that doesn't mean we should constantly check our Instagram feed. The National Safety Council reports that drivers who use cell phones are four times more likely to be in a crash while using them. "There is no difference in the cognitive distraction between hand-held and hands-free devices," they said.
According to the council, cell phone-related crashes account for about 27 percent of all crashes.
thankfully, this car runs on diesel. what if it was the other way round? a dog named "Petrol". well, wouldn't that be a bit strange.
Much attention across the country has been focused on the dangers of using cell phones and other devices while driving. In 2016, there were 444 fatal crashes reported to have involved cell phone use as a distraction (14% of all fatal distraction-affected crashes). As a result, 486 people died.
If you find it hard to stay away from your phone, there are a few things you can do before turning on your car's engine. First, silence your phone. Then, put it away and keep it out of arm's reach. Don't worry, all of the notifications will still be there when you pull up.
One of my very first cars, a beat-up old two-door Saab, could only be opened from the outside on the passenger side. I visit a friend who lives in a rather narrow street so I park really close to a wall, get out, lock the car - and only then realize that I do not have access to the other door ... Facepalm! Eventually, with maneuvers worthy of a comedy show, I managed to squeeze in through the trunk.
i also search for something for an hour and realized that it's in my shirt pocket.... damn
I had a friend who once thought her radio smelled a bit funny in her car and pulled over. When she got out of the driver's side and walked around to check on the passenger's side, the car burst into flames and burned the car entirely out. She then got a replacement car and managed to hit a deer the week after. Some people have no luck.
The same happen to me, but the bird hit me with something more gooey and smelly
for those of us who grew up with boys... this is actually a pretty good, quality prank. No damage done... just confusion for a while.... and the image of 4 of your mates being dumb enough to literally lift & carry a car around the car park. I'll admit that at first, I would've been pissed... then would've been cracking up once the car was found. (and then plotting how to seek revenge!! ha!)
It's like that "how I met your mother" episode with the "I will walk a thousand miles" song being stuck in the tape deck. (now going to youtube the buttermilk biscuits to better understand your pain)
That's a corn snake, will be someone's pet. Very unlikely to hurt anyone. Most certainly won't kill anyone 😂
When we had a VW, my "seat" was in the tiny crawl space, because the dog got his own seat and my brothers would try to squish me if I sat by them. Yeah, I don't talk to any of them now, but the dog and I were always friends.
uh.... quite a misleading text, i thought he put the dog in the car when he see the car was overheating...... and the car blow up with the dog.......
We had gone to Ikea and got a bunch of stuff. 4 people, full trunk, and a bin remained. I was shotgun, and rode home with that huge bin over my head! Plenty of room!
It doesn't automatically stop when it clicks? I figured it was normal practice.
My dad was driving a car he had just bought and I went along. He decided to test the horn and it got stuck, and continued for blocks until dad pulled over popped the hood and disabled it. I can't decide what made me laugh more: him swearing and getting flustered (very rare for my Dad!), or all the drivers flipping him off as we drove coz they thought he was just doing it on purpose :'D
That's funny - I can totally see it. 😂
My sister and I go up to Queensland in our dad's HJ Holden and he listens to a lot of Millencolin. Once, one of the songs come up and Mum asked how we knew the lyrics. Our response, "We've driven up to Queensland a back in the ute"
HJ Holden? Millencolin? Ute? I understood 80% of this sentence.
A "Ute" is a Utility vehicle, I think, and I guess this one in particular is made by HJ Holden. And Millencolin are a Swedish punk band.
So that entire story was "I drove someone and listened to music"?
A classmate of mine did the exam with the handbrake on. She failed- obviously. There is a light on the dash and a sound when you move off with the handbrake off. Personally I'm okay at driving, but I did once spend about 20 minutes looking for my car on a mall parking. It was a big thing several stories high and I didn't bother remembering the nearby letter/ number combinations when getting off.
