Just Rolled In

Just Rolled In is a short-form YouTube show in which mechanics submit clips of customers' unusual cars and complaints. Clips include bizarre manufacturing defects, unhinged homebrew wiring jobs, embarrassing customer misunderstandings of basic car functions, and nightmarishly unsafe vehicles that somehow drove to the shop (and occasionally decline repairs and drive away). Each episode is around 3 minutes of gentle comedy tinged with occasional horror.

Beautiful Styling + Extreme Engineering = Creme de la Creme of Automotive Design from Jobs 1.0

"Harley Earl (video explaining a fraction of his role in shaping the modern American automobile [and his postwar vision of the future, full of ideas decades before their time, the Harley Earl Buick LeSabre]), the legendary automotive stylist, designed the F-88 under the belief that it would have outsold the Corvette and forever changed automotive history. Unfortunately Chevrolet, which produced more GM products than any of its other divisions, convinced the GM board of directors to cut the Oldsmobile project. The F-88 never went into production due to that sabotage combined with lukewarm Corvette sales. The 1954 Oldsmobile F-88 was strictly ever a dream car." (*Via, 1, 2) [more inside]
