I'm very very, very stuck welcome to hoovy's garage the dumbest automotive channel in all of youtube. I just sprained my ankle, but this is my 2000 hummer h1 that i can't figure out what its purpose is supposed to be, because it's not very good off-road. As we'll see in a little bit in this video, the thing's so big that it can't get through most trails and also it's a terrible daily driver, despite its size, you would think this thing could haul 10 people an entire family, but really there's only four seats In here, four seat belts and well, it gets terrible miles per gallon. Going 70 miles per hour is struggling this thing due to its massive size and underpowered 6.5 liter turbo diesel that likes to overheat.

If you go too fast, but i think i have found it true calling - and that is crushing cars due to its size and due to the low angle of entry here with the front bumper, i think this would make an excellent parts, crusher and hauler, because once You're done crushing the car, you don't need a trailer because of this insane roof rack. You can just fork it up onto the roof and haul it right to the scrapper, which is what we are going to do today. I've aptly chosen two priuses for this adventure because it makes a great shape to drive up and over and plus well it's a prius, it's the most anti-hummer car, probably ever built, and here they are 10, 15 years old and they're junked because of their hybrid batteries. These things definitely have an expiration date, whereas the hummer as wasteful as it is, will probably outlive us all so which car is more environmentally wasteful.

I don't know, but at least this one's going to get recycled into soda cans or something if i can drive up and over it with my hummer and then get it mounted to this insane roof rack. So shall we get started well i'd like to thank my friend urination bob for making this possible his business urination, auto inc takes in salvage car euro asian auto wings. Sometimes i speak a lot quickly and you sold a lot of priuses you like them, but you're, starting to see more and more of these come in for salvage as well. What do you think of them? Well, i mean you know when they're coming in for salvage.

You know it's usually the not the car's fault, you know either they ran it out of oil and they blew up the motor because they have a small oil capacity. You know, but the uh well. This is an example right here. This prius was at one of my dealer car auctions not salvaged and uh, and it has 350 000 miles on it really right.

I bought it for parts, but literally it was driven here, so it was still moving under its own power, and this thing lived the hardest life of any car. I've ever seen. Well, uh it was just brutal and still running drove, so batteries are rebuildable. So really these cars will be on the road for a long time, so everything i just said is not true, but i kind of knew that about the rebuilding of the batteries.

Most people don't deal with it, so the other one, how many miles on it? Oh everyone's got probably 150 000 miles on it, so for all the prius fans out there - and some of them are here - we're we're not destroying nice cars. These cars are going to get crushed no matter what right and the purpose is to see. If this hummer is good at being a parts crusher, because it's really not good at anything else, crushing is probably its forte. Well, let's find out you're going to spot me.

Yes, wonderful, dude, ellie i'll, have you hold the camera? While i go up, i know you own a prius, and this is not your favorite thing, but yeah i mean i don't this is this is kind of like i was having you know, the kids execute the whole yeller himself right. I wasn't sure what you brought me here, but this is this is sick. This is disgusting to me. Well, while you're vomiting just make sure the camera's steady we'll do it we'll do all right now.

There is one issue affecting this angle of approach here and that's this aftermarket winch, which is already scraping on the prius. Hopefully it doesn't push him, but let's see we don't want it to push. We want it to climb magic, school bus, climb, upsy daisy. Oh no problem that was too easy.

Yeah coming down is going to be the hard part, but i think we can do it no problem there we go. Don't stop is what he's saying uh-oh so you're back, oh maybe lockers lockers. I don't know if i have it bob it didn't, have i'm just in low gear. I don't see any lockers, oh dear, we got one.

So i'm stuck on the last one here. Thankfully, i came to the right place to get stuck on a prius uh yeah. I guess we're gon na cut this thing out of here. That'll.

Do i'm very, very, very stuck life would be so much easier if i could manually lock the diffs, which i think is what i've done in low range, but there's still wheels just spinning some are and some aren't and from googling there's just no way for me To make them all roll the same, so i just let me down here all right, we're lifting from the front now and we're going to put something in the prius cardio area. So i can get unstuck from this. Please don't crush people i'm here to crush cards, not people, oh yeah, that gets me out of my rut and hopefully off the priuses. Finally, all right come on hummer, that's what defeat looks like, but one prius is moving backwards, the other one isn't so we're about to get in a really bad situation.

So we have no choice, the situation's gotten worse, because that silver prius keeps moving back. Now we have one wheel in the air: well two wheels in the air actually because that one too uh next try got these ramps here. We're gon na put it underneath the hummer and hope. Please all right ramps are in forklift coming around back for a push.

Please please freewheeling. Oh fish kabob! Here we go. Oh yeah, bingo, kino, very good. No, not really! That was awful, but now we have to dispose of one of these priuses and uh.

I think we can do it solely the hummer. Hopefully this goes better than driving over them holy moly. Well, prius is your incredible pieces of machinery here because look at that pillar in the middle designed to protect the head of the driver and passenger, it is still totally holding i'm gon na roll over, i mean elliot, you could have sat in this thing and been Totally fine, the entire time we can do it again. You can get a full pov.

I don't want to try to want to press my luck here, but let's see here, look wow. I've never been more proud to be a prius owner wow. You could have elliot but should have, i don't think is now i mean hindsight's, always 20. 20..

If i had kept momentum through the whole thing, i probably would have made it if we had put some things in the back. Like a few tires, i wouldn't get caught up in the rear cargo area. Probably and well, i'm just stupid. I rocked it back and forth and got stuck just like how you would driving in the mud or the snow or something like that.

But hopefully i can do the hauling to the strap a little bit better now. The reason why i'm pretty confident about doing this is because this roof rack is absolutely insane look how thick the metal is and how close together the beams are. I have no idea what purpose this roof rack would be for other than well this. So hopefully it goes better because i really don't want to damage the structure of the hummer.

Obviously i haven't done any damage yet go for it. Bob carnage, holy moly all right. Two straps two chains: well you're, not gon na, be going fast. We're gon na go ten, maybe yeah! You just have to go right where those flags are across the street, which is across railroad tracks, uh, which is seems pretty secure.

Well, shall we bob hey? This is like that racing uh, where they put one car on top of the other and then uh drive it from the top car. That's true. We got to send my truck here. Just keep on rolling go hey everybody's got to play along i'm still in low range.

I forgot to put it out: it's all right, we're not going to probably go up any higher than then low anyway. Okay, we get over these puppy tracks. These tracks have never felt smoother by the way right. Yeah, that's true.

This is the smoothest this hummer has ever been. It just needs three thousand pounds of prius on the road yeah a little ballast, well i'd sure like to thank all metal recycling in wichita kansas for uh pulling off the prius. For me, don't drop it! Please don't drop it. Oh god hold that roof just needs to hold a little bit longer hold a little bit longer: okay, safe, safe thought; oh my god, all right! That is incredible! Okay, flipped it over from this.

For this angle, it feels like he's two inches from my hummer he's. Taking out the fuel tank there he's taking out the fuel tank they're trying to prius is putting up a fight. There goes the fuel tank and now farewell prius what a way to go. So it does one thing.

Well, one thing: we've discovered now: let's take it off road and give our final thoughts huh man. Well, these things are awesome for sure, great off-roaders, but uh. When we get in the woods things get pretty tight, huh yeah yeah. It's definitely not uh, not the perfect vehicle for a single track.

That's for sure! Well, you sold here so fast. I guess well you're a car dealer. So that's goes with the territory right, yeah yeah. I mean it was fun, but you know it's a lot of money to tie up.

You know i got ta put it into other cars. You know. Look at this trail, bob just point out there oh check it out. It is fun, though i will say like i mean there is definitely a satisfaction of just running stuff over we're already in a little bit yeah, you got us in a pickle barrel.

Already, that's just hard left yeah. I don't know i'm gon na slide into that stuff. No we're clear of it, because it's gon na start sliding and then i'm gon na need a paint job on top of everything else, that i've done keep rolling stay on target stay on target abort, abort abort! Oh, hey cut it to your right, cut it to your right yeah. You chose poorly my friend and you know okay.

Well, this is kind of the downfall of holder ownership versus a jeep yeah we're not going to watch yeah. This is yeah see. This is why i prefer my via cross over the hummer. You know because the via cross coming through here these we know these mirrors are unatta unobtainium.

So yes, don't take the mirror off. Please all right! There's a big limb coming up and you know i see it in the mirror yeah in the mirror. Oh my god, yeah there probably is no path that this hummer could take to the water. No well, not to the left.

That's uh! That is the uh. I thought this was the easy path. No, no that's the tight one for sure three-point turn well bob. I do believe the hummer is better built for well the desert and flexing and even hauling cars to the scrapper, but probably not backwoods off-roading eh.

No, i don't think so. You know the it will. It will definitely uh haul, a payload, that's for sure yeah that prius on the roof was uh was like uh like your overnight luggage exactly well, it's doing pretty good here right, just a very fun vehicle. I'm glad that i soldiered, through all the pain with it.

Thank you for watching, got ta get out of here. Bob you.
