There needs to be a Pumphrey Bar re-test! Never saw the car corner enough to actually see the bar touch the ground.
its because its on the wrong side of the car, the P50 rolls on left handers, not right
Also felt like they did not re-create the original test felt much slower
What if you turn to the left?
@@EngineMisfire : It's likely been designed for people who can't turn left. It's a medical condition, look it up!
Exactly. Extremely slower drive, Extremely softer turning, the bar is also only on 1 side, and the opposite side it crashed on to begin with.... I actually disliked the video for that bs test....
Fun fact: Better help was caught selling personal data to advertisers for personally targeted ads after they told customers their data would be kept private for obvious reasons.
They need to do their research before promoting them. They actually have listed Dr available to choose from that never even worked for better help.
Fun fact 2: Skillshare is just youtube tutorial with less video and high membership cost, some of their course are already on youtube for free, and the creator got paid less than youtube
No company will ever keep your data private, cuz capitalism. It is benefic to them to sell and gain more money....
Better Help is an absolute garbage company preying on vulnerable people. Most companies that buy sponsor slots from KZheadrs are complete trash. Remember the 'buy a plot of land in Scotland and become a Lord' scheme?
Of course they were. Them, and every other start up out there.
Man that Pumphrey bar test was mid 😂 i thought you were actually gonna scrape that thing. So, what about the other side, like if a fella, you know, turned left like when you flipped it?
NO LEFTS! ONLY RIGHTS!
like lightning mcqueen says - turn right to go left
thats whats i was saying, thought they were ACTUALLY gonna test it
2:49 fun fact, that’s actually the origin of the LADA car manufacturer’s name. Very few westerners know this, but it stands for “Legs And Dong Area”.
It's hilarious that the Pumphrey bar actually mounts to NOT the side Pumphrey rolled over originally.
glad i'm not the only one who noticed lol
Yes!
LOL exactly
Counterweight
Wtf though!? I feel jipped.
15:12 I love how the bar fits the opposite side that the car toppled. I think they gave the bar to heigthen confidence in order for James to have another try at dying
Also, didn't he make a way sharper turn at higher speed? Test at the end barely required him to turn the wheel and he went like 3mph
Opposite side of the car and like a 3rd of the speed and angle. There was no experiment.
@@richardnavratil9661 He must still be spooked.
Dying??? None of you kids grew up on jackass and it shows😩
James looks so much fitter and healthy. I absolutely love it. Keep going strong James!
Looks and acts like a coke head
It's great to see James solo hosting a segment again (edited for the people who think I'm new here). Jimmy deserves an emmy
Dude... up to speed ?
I stopped watching halfway through. Way too animated and annoying
@@chrisschubert554 they gotta have someone like him lmao, i get, he is not for everyone but im glad they have someone who has unreasonable amounts of energy.
James' dedication to protecting all of the Legs & Dongs is admirable...
I thought he said "legs and doll"...
Going so far as even using a jacket to help protect said legs and dong
I thought he said dogs
In fact he should receive the title of Admiral LegsAndDongs
My legs and dong made it through the entire video. Thanks James!
That was the most anticlimactic test ever 😂
ikr that sucked
Right? Damn
That bar wouldn't have done anything anyways for the Pumphrey incident, since it isnt even mounted on the side that rolled over in the first place
@@smallbutdeadly931 Seems they waited for 15 years after Clarkson did the same thing on Top Gear.
That was sooo cowardly! Try it again at speed, ya sissies!
3:15 is also my favorite band P.O.D. satellite!☠️🤟
GM tech here, the funny thing about the Terrain headlamp stickers is that half the cars came in with extremely sun faded headlamp assemblies; we still put the stickers on em lol
So they continue to have you do that but allowed hid to become standard?
having a car part named after you as a car guy must be the highest honour that can be possibly bestowed upon one self
I know that Jayne Mansfield is super honored to have a car part named after her 🙃
There was a coffee named after me at a Harley shop in San Diego. That's almost as cool.
Either a major honour or a major disrespect depending on why they decided to make it after you lol
A good friend of mine's dad is big into mountain biking/trail biking, and there's a section of bike course in his area that's (sort of) named after him. He fell and got severely injured and ever since then that section of the trail is named "the ankle snapper" or something like that
maybe if it wasn’t a safety bar 😂
Day 432 of asking James to do Up to Speed on his Dad
rip 💀
Dang it's already at day 432
This guy is relentless
he is approximately gonna go mach 0.00000000000000001
Maybe you should stop doing that, it’s kinda gross?
“recall on a book!? What is this florida!??” 😂😂😂 icant 😂😂😂
He looks like he woke up after a late night out, drank 4 mimosa, shotgunned a beer, then sat in front of the camera
I'm surprised there aren't more comments about James being obviously drunk in this video. But props to him, I couldn't do it.

If there isnt a "Legs and Dong" sticker idk what Donut is doing
Yes please. Perhaps a "Protect our legs and dong!" warning sticker.
Seconded!
I’m buying. “Protecting legs and dongs since 2014”
I unashamedly laughed each and every time James said "Legs and Dong"
Same
Hyundai tech here, the recall for the "Kia Boyz" is the steering wheel lock and now we currently JB weld a little shell around the ignition cylinder.
2014 "headlights too bright and may cause accident" 2020's "make sure oncoming cars think they are staring into the Fing sun"
New favorite quote, "Imagine the potential damage to your legs and dong!"
Cutaway: _"Oww! My legs and dong!"_ 😂
Love everything you guys do but we need a retest on the Pumphrey bar, gotta at least touch the ground and seems like there should be one on both sides.
Video idea that would be kind of cool: Testing performance chips on cars cheap vs. expensive
Donut: "Thank you guys, we'd be nothing without you!!!" *Proceeds with betterhelp sponsor*
We come here for the latest in technical terminology and Donut never fails to disappoint. "Dong area" Lol
I replayed the "boiling coolant squirting all over your legs and dong" part so many times because I couldn't believe he actually dropped "dong" in a video lmao.
@@avprox777it’s hilarious
I don’t know if I want “Legs and dong area” mech, but every time he said it made me laugh like a stoned 8th grader ☠️
Or spider 🕷️ mech
Headlight alignment should be more heavily monitored 🤬. Great video as always ❤
It is shockingly bad here in Ireland. Some many people driving around with misaligned lights
@@cenaboyleone light aimed at the weeds and the other aimed at the stars
I drive a semi and so should be well above the lights but, it's like a prison looking for escapees, some nights. Geez!
I live in a town where everyone drives trucks and I have a small car. It's brutal.
Im coming back to one of your videos after 2 years and its so wonderful to see how much you guys have grown so far. Keep Posting!
The mario kart starting noise and that thing sounding like a kart had me dying 😂😂😂
For the 22 WRX there was an issue with the owners manual, they just mailed owners a fixed page and told owners “just put it between pages in the manual”
No one ever before cared that much about my legs and dong, thank you Donut ❤
You are one of two legends of motorsport to have various bars named after them as a result of a wreck: James Pumphrey and the Pumphrey bar in the Peel P50..... ...and... ....Dale Earnhardt and the Earnhardt Bar, as a result of his 1996 wreck at Talladega. You are in elite company, good sir. Keep it up!
My parents used to own a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan (great vehicle btw) and I definitely remember that recall about the AC condensation dripping into the radio. The 1994 Plymouth Voyager they had before that had a recall for the rear window wiper motor seizing up and causing the airbags to deploy. Don’t ask me how. A couple of weeks after we got that recall notice (but before getting it in to have the repair done), our rear wiper motor seized up and it immediately turned on the air bag light. I’ve never seen my dad bail out of the car so fast 😂
Funny thing is, the headlights on that gmc suv are nowhere near as bad as modern cars that are coming out today which are angled right in your face.
You know you’ve made in the car world when a company names a car part after you.
Especially when it protects you from flipping in the opposite direction as last time 😂
Brooo not the spiders being the biggest menace to the auto industry 😂😂
I’m a technician at a Hyundai dealer. We now have a recall at Hyundai for the theft issue that completely fixes the issue. A metal sleeve is JB welded to the ignition cylinder and break away bolts lock it in place. The only way I could see someone stealing it is taking a angle grinder to it or a sawsall
The issue with the spiderz is common with Propane too. They like to make nexts in your bar-b-que in the valves in the barbque.
I never had any idea how dangerous spiders could be to vehicles lol
" A recall on a book, what is this, FLORIDA??" is my new favorite pumphrey quote
I was a Toyota Tech during that recall, you also had to stick a zip tie up the a/c drain tube to clear out any webs in it before starting the recall. If one was clogged you'd get soaked, a/c boxes hold a lot of water
That sticker promo was so dang smooth, respect
I have a temporary solution to the Supra cab noise. Roll down the passenger window. It lets the pressure out. I liked my own comment
See now we joke, but Doug Demuro would absolutely drive to the Honda dealership to get that sticker.
James facing down PTSD is an inspiration
My legs and dong have never felt more safe. Thanks donut.
This is perhaps the most ridiculous thing one could have named after them. Congrats!
My Father recently took his 2019 Vauxhall (GM) Mokka for a recall in the UK. The fault: Brake pedal gets stuck on when applying the brakes during Hot weather or when the cabin is too hot… the solution: the car will now warn you on the dash if the cabin or outside air temp might be too hot to apply brakes! Needless to say my Dad has now sold the car and moved on 😂
The Up to speed comment on James' Dad is gaining so much traction, that I'm sure they'll make it into an April fools thing this year
This is good Donut. James has such great camera presence. Funny as hell, and doesn't feel like 'corporate-ad' content like a few of the recent vids have felt. Respecc!
I knew my legs and dong would be in good hands with Donut. There's no one I'd trust more to keep my legs and dong safe
I put 50W HID’s in my four 8” lights in my rally car’s light pod to replace the original 130W incandescent bulbs - they turned night into day with way less load on the electrical system. I was told by the company that supplied the kits that this modification wasn’t recommended as the lights weren’t made for HID’s and I was likely to “dazzle” oncoming traffic, causing them to go off the road and crash. I responded that if anyone had gotten onto our closed roads during a rally race and was coming in the opposite direction, I would prefer they get dazzled, go off the road and crash rather than me hitting them at speed.
Wow, gotta say I'm surprised you missed the actual biggest Toyota issue. Early Prius models had slippery floors and the floor mat would slide up under the brake pedal and prevent you from stopping. I think it also caused the gas pedal to stick. That's why all driver's side floor mats have a way of securing them now. Got more to add: GM did it again with a set of Silverados that had LED headlights too bright. I think maybe 2019's. 2008 VW's had a recall for a fuel line that wasn't secured and would rupture over top the engine. 2016 WRX had an owners manual replacement page that they mailed to owners. And let's not forget the most recalled vehicle of all, the mid-2010's Ford Escape.
Props to the designer putting (properly spelt) "Doughnut" over the Euro number plate on the Mazda
I need some spider related Donut merch now lol
Here in Aussie in around 2019-20, they had a recall on ALL cars fitted with a certain brand of airbag. Hundreds of thousands had to be changed across numerous brands of cars. And if your cars airbag hadn't been changed, your car became illegal and it's registration was cancelled until fixed. Apparently this brand of airbag could randomly deploy causing and accident.
Hi James! I work for at State Farm in Georgia, and it’s true. We will not sell policies to owners of certain models of 2015-2021 Kia or Hyundai. We have to ask the owner if it is key start or push to start as I believe that information is not stored in the VIN. It’s a pain in the ass for our prospects, thankfully our current customers with these vehicles when the problem was discovered are still insured. Great videos, love you guys!
This slowly derails into a PSA about leg and dong protection 😭😆
Slowly? 😆
One of the funniest Donut videos I’ve seen in a while!😂 had me cracking up so much I think I did damage to my legs and dong!!!
6:40 That's actually also why so many modern cars are having issues with electrical systems. The plant based plastics they use for the wiring insulation is delicious to little critters and they can't get enough of it.
C4 Corvettes had the same wind buffeting issue as the A90. Same solution too. So many C4s had the mirror spoilers installed that most people think the cars came with them.
"What is this... Florida?" Comedy gold. Well done, sir. Well done.
Nah. Liberalism is a disease.
Pumphrey is an inspiration to us all!
Bro the amount of times James said legs and Dong is hilarious
This was by far my favorite Pumfrey-only video. Dude, your comedy is getting so freaking good. 😂 And, does anyone know what molecules he was on for the filming of this? I'm an illicit drug researcher working on my PhD is why I ask. I would have some follow up questions for James, and also some suggestions to make his own experience doing the video shoots even better! Oh yeah, cause I also have a Masters Degree in Mental Performance Enhancement.
James doing the lord’s work out here worrying about our legs and dong
“A recall on a book!? What is this… Florida?!” I did a spit take, well done.
Hi had a DB9 and there was a recall to relocate the battery wire that runs under the driver seat as some seats would cut into the wire when adjusting it further back.
Jeremy Clarkson: Drives around BBC HQ Our Boy James: Gets a new part named after him
Petition to make a "Don't burn your legs and dong shirt"
James looks good! Good job, man!
They even had issues earlier than that, on the 4 cylinder early 80's version. Not sure about the burned skin part, tho! Me and a buddy used to Autocross back it the day, and his heater core blew its wad during a high rev event!
I love the terrain headlights i could actually see the road and then some. My crv headlight sucks so much in comparison to it
Better help is an L shill
Agreed
Day 3 of asking donut to bring back up to speed
"I could probably figure it out, but I don't wanna" is how I live my life
I had one of the VW Mk4 Golfs with the insane seat heaters that never had the recall done. Man... those seat heaters were SERIOUS- they'd easily burn you if you weren't careful.
Hey hey let's go kenka suru Taisetsu na mono protect my b̶a̶l̶l̶s̶ [ legs and dong ]
Love the SouthPark reference, great episode.
There is currently a recall pending on Acura and Honda vehicles for a fuel pump issue. Vehicle years from 2017 to 2020. About 2.5 million vehicles in total.
My favourite for recalls is the 1980 Chevrolet Citation. Your car might light on fire in the engine bay, throw you into a skid when the back brakes lock up, lose windshield wipers because of a circuit board, lose heat altogether when your heater core fails, and have the newly replaced shifter knob come off right in your hand.
about 20yrs ago, i had a buddy who was driving home late at night, was on north 2 freeway here in Los Angeles. somehow by some weird cosmic chance, a deer decided it wanted to play chicken across the road. he hit it at speed, and the crazy part was not that he lived, thank God he did, but the air bag never deployed. he ended up suing honda and got a fat settlement
I can personally attest to the VW Seat heater issue. Back in the day when I had my MK IV Jetta, my legs and dong got singed when the heating element burned through the seat. It hurt like hell!
To fix the wind buffering problem in the Supra or any other car, all you need to do is equalize the pressure by cracking another window.
I wouldn't make fun of people that got the sticker recall. Some states won't let your register a car that has an unsatisfied recall on it. So I imagine some folks HAD to.
I love the extra little bit of effort of taking it to willow springs for the driving test 😂
Here's a funny recall story for you. My wife had an early 2000s Pontiac Grand Prix, and we got a serious sounding recall notice stating that a problem with the ignition system could lead to the engine turning off unexpectedly while driving. So we took the car into the dealership expecting the ignition cylinder to be replaced. Instead, they took the car key, popped a little plastic plug into the key ring slot and said they're all done. Why? Because it turns out the issue with the ignition system was that some people had so many keys on their key rings that when the key ring slid all the way to the edge of the slot on the key, the weight of all the keys would apply torque to the ignition cylinder literally turning the key to the off position. The little plug they put in the key ring slot simply turned the slot into a small perfectly centered hole so even the heaviest key rings would pull straight down instead of generating torque.
Both my 2005 Legacy GT and 2005 Outback had white spiders in the headlights. I never saw, or heard, of white spiders before or seen any anywhere else. The Outback already had some when I bought it, there were more in a few years after. My hypothesis is that the BP chassis headlights are a portal to a white spider realm, but since they are well sealed they cannot escape.
The 92 Honda prelude. The front end started floating at 80. It was a wild ride lol. No recalls
My dad's Toyota Avalon had blown the airbag while sitting and running, what we did was remove both bags and added an aftermarket steering wheel. He been driving and loving it ever since, I wound up removing the airbags in every car I've owned because I've never trusted them and asthma really does suck when they blow and I don't need another massive hospital bill lol
Subaru issued an extended warranty for a known issue with the EJ25 motors. Problem is, they cut it off at a certain year (2012?) even though the engines made from 2005-2011 were essentially the same as the ones they extended the warranty on. Oh, and my 2013 Subaru BRZ was one of the first 1,000 delivered in the US. Subaru sent me an updated owner’s manual bc there were so many errors in the original one!
The VW ID4 door handles are electronically operated and there is a plastic membrane that covered the electronics which for a short period of time it would be poorly fitted causing moisture to get in and making the doors swing while turning a corner with the car
That Florida book recall joke is very fucking underrated
One of the worst recall items I can think of was in 2013 Subaru Outback models where you could pull the entire steering column out if you were adjusting the wheel up and down while driving. My fam had just bought our outback and were informed via mail like a week later about the recall. We thought it was a crazy one time kind of thing they were hoping to avoid. Like. How often would something as wild as that happen, right? Joking about it with a friend, we found out this exact scenario happened to that friend’s neighbor while going about 45 mph down a windy road a couple weeks prior. Leg room for the driver wasn’t quite the same after the fix, but we could live with it considering the alternative. Absolutely nuts
Made a total recall meme about the Mazda 6 back in 2020. Good to see my favorite auto recall featured :)
Y’all should so more outdoor stuff, maybe a series or a team for that
Just a heads up, the CR-V owners didn't just go to the dealership for an owners manual sticker. They go for an oil change, and any recalls that haven't been done to the vehicle, get done to the vehicle, sticker included.
You guys mentioned how there are issues with the Subaru Hawkeye 3rd gear in a previous video. Can you do a list video similar to this one pointing out some flaws in cars like some CVT transmissions, gremlins in 90s digital dashes, bad engines, Italian made cars and really bad electrics.
we didnt have that issue with our caravan, nope just sudden loss of power steering while climbing a big ass mountain in Tennessee
Building maintenance here - we found spiders making webs inside the gas lines for our rooftop units, preventing heaters from staying lit - Spiders tried to freeze us all to death!
I love James transformation! And what a great video!
Look at James bro. 170-190lbs, healthy, cool James dean look, and getting engraved in auto history. Not to mention he finished the VW (ish). Old donut fans know. Big props bro 👏
