I have a confession to make: I’m a man who knows nothing about cars.

Like, nothing. You’re telling me wheels are the things that go spin-spin on the ground but ALSO the little circle I’m not holding while I text? I just don’t get it.

So when I see people talking about cars online, it’s like they’re speaking another language.

Yet I watch them over and over, hoping to somehow understand what I should be concerned about and why, like in this video from TikTok user @bcauto_:

“22 Pilot, 87,000 miles,” says the mechanic behind the camera.”

“Customer states there’s a knocking from the engine.”

“Yep, we’re getting a short block for this one.”

Pff, yeah, for a 22 Pilot? You’d be out of your mind gettin’ a long block. It’d be way too long, we all know that.

I mean look, the thingy under the whatsit is gonna go shakey clank if your OwO bearings are in retrograde, obviously.

Not to mention all the 20’s and 30’s, that’s like, a key demographic.

Ok, gotta go look at all my tools.

Or you know what, I’ll just pay someone who knows what they’re doing.
