If you're counting everything down to the smallest screw, a single car has about 30,000 parts. That's way too many for us average folk to maintain. This means that over time, bad things happen, and we need to take our metal horsies to the mechanic to fix them.

But the state of some of our cars... Due to money shortage, ignorance, or neglect, we DIY or pretend we don't see a problem when it's clear that a professional has to take care of it. So when the inevitable occurs and we pull up to their place begging for help, the poor fellas know they're stuck with it for good.

There's even a subreddit for such situations. r/JustRolledIntoTheShop is a community that collects "those absolutely stupid things" that we bring, roll, or toss into their businesses and car mechanics are pretty popular there. Continue scrolling and you'll understand why.

A recent study of 2,000 American car owners support the message this subreddit is sending, too. It found as many as a quarter feel they take a risk each time they hit the road as their vehicle is currently in need of repair or no longer runs well.

The study asked people to reflect on the current state of their vehicle and tested their knowledge of car basics. Results showed an alarming number of drivers are rolling the dice on vehicles in need of work — 68 percent said their cars currently have at least one thing wrong with them.

And with so many vehicles in need of love, Americans could stand to do a bit of brushing up on how to take care of their cars a little better. 36 percent of those studied confessed they don’t know the first thing about fixing a flat tire.

Customer: "Let Me Know When You Are About To Pull My Truck In So I Can Get My Raccoon" And He Sat In The Lobby With A Raccoon Until His Truck Was Done

reddit.com Report

The survey, conducted by Cooper Tires, discovered that nearly half of American car owners think they couldn't change their car’s oil and almost 30 percent believe they couldn't even pick out the correct oil their car needs in the first place.

One in four Americans also aren't confident they could jump-start their vehicle should they need to.

Even using an air pressure gauge to check tire pressure can prove to be too difficult for nearly one in five Americans.

“Although many Americans have a lack of confidence and knowledge when it comes to vehicle maintenance, it’s important to plan ahead and take initiative," Jessica Egerton, director of marketing for Cooper Tires, said. "Don't wait until there is an issue with a vehicle. It’s why Cooper Tires is passionate about helping educate and empower car owners across the country.”

Considerate of the customer, it saves the mechanic some time but auto shops have siphons to remove the gas from the tank, and when they're done, they pump it back in. Kinda silly because now the customer will need to bring some gas back with them when the car is ready, or pay extra if the shop puts some in.

Why spend $150 on a seatbelt that might save your life when you can fix it with some glue from the dollarshop? That it will fail you on that moment when you're about to get launched head first through your windscreen is just a minor inconvenience.

They have a blown head gasket. Combustion gasses pressurize the cooling system causing excessive overflow. They've probably quintupled the overflow capacity to keep all the coolant from pissing out onto the ground.

Got it. Lost the gas cap and it was the only thing that fit. Hope it had just happened. That cheese curd would go bad and stink to high heaven pretty quick.

That's why most European countries have mandatory annual checks for cars that are older than 5 years. Tires like this are a fail which means you can't drive your car anymore because it's not road legal.

I don't think this is being sneaky, just careless. If the car doesn't start at all, then it's not going to do them any good.
