Flats buying a brand new $40k+ truck, driving it 4,100 miles in 2 years, and considering paying $10k to upgrade it while holding student loans is the peak American experience.

At least Flats isn't skimping on his car maintenance. Loads of drivers drive their brand new cars for tens of thousands of miles without even thinking about an oil change. Spending to much money on cars is bad, spending to much money and THEN not even caring about your expensive car is even worse.

The wheel rattling was from the technician who put the aftermarket wheels on balanced them wrong and either added too many weights to the wheel or too few causing the imbalance.

It is 100% this. They put on pretty wheels but didnt balance them as they assumed it wont be test driven soon since it was parked inside.

no hubcentric ring possible like said before, lugs not tightened down properly, alignment issues is possible (although unlikely on a new truck) , not balancing the wheels properly. The dude wasnt trying to give flats some BS he was just discussing some possible reasons it could happen. It's extremely unlikely theres anything wrong with the actual suspension of the vehicle. Also wheels being "too big" wouldnt cause this issue although it might effect the speed sensors throwing an ABS light and making the speedometer read slower than the vehicle is actually going

Fun fact: the aftermarket wheels are actually made by Honda's HPD program themselves for the HPD Ridgeline. Definitely technician was either brand new or drunk when balancing the wheels

I worked at a Cadillac dealership. I worked with a polish man named George. He was very similar to this Italian man in the Flats story. Hilarious interactions with him, but he was a fantastic guy.

The biggest surprise to me in this story is that the Honda Ridgeline exists. Here in Australia, all we buy now are trucks/utes like the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger, but I have never even considered Honda ever made one. Seems like Honda are barely interested in selling cars here anymore.

I need an allowance of atleast 3 flats story times per week at a minimum of 20 minute episodes, thanks

Flats is really good at telling a story! I’m nodding and laughing along every time 😆

I imagine after Flats' mom showed up that Flats' was in the corner of the room like SmolEmote

i love these story type videos, another reason why the flatscast in the practice range during tank queues w emongg would be so good

I love these flatventure videos. Really good content

that story was worth staying up an extra half hour to hear it. I hope you keep posting these types of non game related stories. Great content.

Hey Flats, tires actually DO develop flat spots if they sit for two long! But that's measured over months, not weeks like dealership guy was saying.

"That must be a brand new thing--" I would have answered; "Go get your manager please, I wanna talk to them privately."

Walking up and leaving a car deal after sitting there for hours really is a power play for the buyer. “Okay, we can’t come to a deal, so and so down the street will. Thanks for your time” and they will lick your boots the whole way out the door

Flats keeps it a buck when he in the practice range 😂

Bro Your Mom's a Hustler 😭😭

as a person currently trying to buy a car, this video was super informative

props to her, absolutely dominated 2 companies into giving u good deals

ok so two things: 1. My grandpa was a car salesman. One thing my dad told me about is that my grandpa would say he was going to ask the manager something and then use the bathroom, and other things like that. So when that guy "spoke to a technician" he was 100% taking a coffee break or something. 2. My dad was looking at buying a used miata last year, and he found one that was perfect. When we went to buy it, the dealership way undershot the value of his trade in (which was a dark blue v8 2016 camero, btw) and upcharged him for the miata because it needed, and I quote, "window tint certification," among other crap like that. Needless to say he didn't buy from them. I hate dealerships too, flats, and this was very therapeutic😂

and the bedcover being rushed with installation is why you were back at the dealership two years later. Full circle.

We went to look at vans (multiple kids, no car loan at the time). This was in summer; we were going to wait until new models were out and get a deal. First place was great, understood we were just looking, but they offered lifetime powertrain warranty on all sold products. We then went down the street to test drive at another dealership. Their manager got involved (again, we were VERY clear we were not buying then), and we told him what the deal the first dealership offered. They got close to it, and they gave us a paper. We took it back on a lark to the first place, and they knocked a good bit off of their first offer and gave us an additional 5 years bumper-to-bumper. So, we have a van. Strangest day ever.

I've been a lube tech for years, I'm not surprised that he thought a $30 oil change was too low, that is an insane price. He definitely tried to gouge you though, you gotta watch out for that for sure. Bruh if someone runs you up for wipers just go buy some for $10 for a set lol Don't get wipers from lube shops unless they're free or a good deal. You can get them for sooo cheap

Been a manager at Honda for 10 years FYI KBB doesn't buy or sell cars. You gotta add Reconditioning. You'll never know what the real number is they are giving you for your trade, it's called an ACV / fair condition is because you have to add Reconditioning prep Detail and inspection

You’re NE my man? RI myself, hope you have a Happy Holiday my fellow Rectangle Man :)

You know, as someone that works at a honda dealership myself...this story is pretty accurate to either, some of the people I work with, or the people upfront. THEY SOMEHOW LOST A WHOLE ASS CAR UP FRONT, they had the keys BUT NOT the car! So this story has been a DELIGHT to see...lol PS, the car they couldn't find was in front of them the entire time.

Amazing i want more Flats Story time!

Flats and his mom is like me and my momma too. I'm too awkward to negotiate, but she treats everything like a Moroccan market lmao

i'll give him a pass for trying the scroll technique. cause a bunch of dirty rats at the gas station i used to work at would try the newport 2 dollar smart phone coupon and they just screen shot that and pass it around to their friends, but it gets the stupid blurry image compression from texting and you just go "please go away thats a scam you're a thief" but car dealerships are extra stupid

That first story with paper clip guy felt like an "On the Road," episode of, "Spectating Bronzes."

Death wobbles happen on solid axil cars with big wheels and softer suspension it happens a lot more on jeeps and it’s one of the reasons you can’t bring cars built for off roading on to the highway

God damn, flats’ mom is a skilled negotiator

Lmfao 🤣. We need more of this . Story of my life

Excellent choice in background music 👍

I’m crying🤣 when he started talking about the Italian manager it was hilarious

You don't go to a dealership for service/repairs. That's crazy. That's like Overwatch shop prices.

Flats's real life adventures are acc so interesting to hear about :P

Flats needs to become a writer

Flats has the BEST storytelling ever lol

fun story, gonna mention though if they had the ability to lower the vehicle price by 8 grand, they had a 15k-20k mark up on your truck. Meaning, the dealership did a great job at getting it in at a low price or it was a shitter they repaired

Flats, the stories are on point, keep it up man

I'm actually looking to buy my first car within the next year or two. I gotta nice laugh out of this story

No lie, my grandmother was from Rome, and she never lost her accent or her appreciation for opportunity here.

21:18 Sounds like this man is a connoisseur of the Hot Tub Meta

Honestly, the HPD Ridgeline looked pretty good to me too. But you could probably buy parts off it from Honda and add it to your own

This is my second favorite Flats clip (after the table one of course)

*Honda has left the chat*

i like how the bgm is price from persona 5 how ironic

story time with flats is great

Just listened to 35mins of Flats another man telling me about his car experiences 😂 and enjoyed to much c

yo flats mom is a legend what the hell actually hustled the price down like a true king.

i love the story times

8:23 I just heard you say you're in New England. My guess is this is Boch Honda West. Family members had "issues" with service there.

2:46 "and i was like, yeah...so ya doodoo, then."

Not quite the same but I used to work for Ford customer support doing airbag recalls. This is so on brand for dealerships. Not a single person knows what the hell they are doing or saying I'd call a dealer telling them a customer needs a recall completed and the dealer would say "oh well did you order the parts?". I'd say "no that's your job" "Oh well I can't do it without the parts' "So order them" "What's the recall" *Gives them number* "Oh we have those parts I can schedule the appointment" Me: ok I'll conference in the customer to find a date Customer: does this date work? Dealer: well I don't have the parts so we'll call you back when we get them. Me: you just said you had them Dealer: no we gotta order them specifically for the vin number of the car Me: no you don't it's literally a readily available part This would go on and on some literally taking an hour for what should be a 10 minute call max.

Great story, thank you for that one 😂

I love the lore of Flats

A bed cover? Never installed one, my brother hasn't either but he has like done multiple fixes to his own car in under 2 hours then proceeds to go to work right after.

That unfortunate.... I'd expect better from delerships. I work at Ford and haven't heard of anything like this lol.

Never heard a single story about having a good time at a car dealership

Dealing with car dealerships is literally hell on Earth

I personally cannot fathom paying $40,000 for a truck I never drive and don't need, and then almost spending $10,000-$25,000 just to get the "new" one. I wonder if Flats has ever loaded anything into the bed of that truck. But I guess owning a pickup truck you don't need just to get 18mpg is the American dream.

not to mention going to your dealership for vehicle service is just a financial gut punch. so much value in knowing how to actually maintain your vehicle

This is one of those stories that are so absurd that it has to be true, has me laughing my pants off. 🤣

The wheel vibrating like that sounds like the wheels werent balanced or less likely considering it only has 12 miles on it a warped brake disc though like I said with 12 miles thats highly unlikely. If it was the tracking the steering wheel wouldnt be straight and if it was straight the truck would be pulling to one side.

This is a lesson to why you never go to a dealership for a service

As a former dealer tech, this is the typical dealer experience. Two lubies and a service advisor playing around with customers cars not knowing a damned thing, a sales man trying his damdest to make a sale, any sale... Yea don't miss that. Can confirm that we all have shit hearing though 😅

You can install your own wiper blades very cheap and easy

report it to corporate. my brother had a similar problem with nissan. the transmission was on warranty but they were trying to hustle him for money. after the call the transmission is in the car.

The guy should have been more clear on the wiper blades for sure, but in his defense some people are REALLY crazy about those types of things. I worked in the service industry for years, and you have to be ABSOLUTELY clear when dealing with multiple line items and multiple discounts/deals. I can't count how many times someone would walk in with MULTIPLE coupons or whatever, we'd tell them "Hey, you can't use more than 1" or whatever the issue might be, and they'd say the understand, and then come back freaking out because they didn't get the deal. We'd like, ask them WHICH coupon they want to use. They'd decide, and then GIVE THEM the other one back. And they'd still freak out.

My dealer does oil change plus tire rotation for $70. Not bad.

"You know how some roads are a little fu****" Me who lives in michigan: Yep sounds like normal roads to me.

lmao i actually watched this whole thing

Flentures!! And dude, dont go to the dealer for most of that stuff unless it’s a requirement for your warranty-which it almost certainly isnt. And if it’s a new car, you ain’t getting a synthetic oil change for 30$….

wow flats' mom is an absolute beast... My parents are damn good at bargaining like that, but in a less pushy way. Recently they had to get a new minivan, so they went in asking for a ridiculously low price (like $15k on a $27k van), got it down to like $21k, then just walked. They were just like "nah we cant do that". they were legit driving out of the parking lot when the guy comes sprinting out and is like "WAIT WAIT WE'LL DO $18k". absolutely rolled. they got a barely used nice ass 2017 Kia Sedona in 2018 for f****** $18k. how.

good ole death wobbles at 12 miles off the lot lol

So I'm a service advisor as well ( same job as the dude you talked to ) I understand the dude apprehension about the price. $30 for an oil change it absolutely unheard of. But we get SO many people who always try to haggle on price, or they will approve a service and then go back on it after its already done even thought we explained to them what the price was going to be. Some people can be a fucking nightmare to deal with. But yea sorry your service kind of sucked. Nissan Gang
