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.

There needs to be a Pumphrey Bar re-test! Never saw the car corner enough to actually see the bar touch the ground.

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?

James looks so much fitter and healthy. I absolutely love it. Keep going strong James!

It's hilarious that the Pumphrey bar actually mounts to NOT the side Pumphrey rolled over originally.

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

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 great to see James solo hosting a segment again (edited for the people who think I'm new here). Jimmy deserves an emmy

Day 432 of asking James to do Up to Speed on his Dad

James' dedication to protecting all of the Legs & Dongs is admirable...

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

“recall on a book!? What is this florida!??” 😂😂😂 icant 😂😂😂

That was the most anticlimactic test ever 😂

having a car part named after you as a car guy must be the highest honour that can be possibly bestowed upon one self

3:15 is also my favorite band P.O.D. satellite!☠️🤟

He looks like he woke up after a late night out, drank 4 mimosa, shotgunned a beer, then sat in front of the camera

If there isnt a "Legs and Dong" sticker idk what Donut is doing

I unashamedly laughed each and every time James said "Legs and Dong"

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.

The mario kart starting noise and that thing sounding like a kart had me dying 😂😂😂

We come here for the latest in technical terminology and Donut never fails to disappoint. "Dong area" Lol

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

2014 "headlights too bright and may cause accident" 2020's "make sure oncoming cars think they are staring into the Fing sun"

Headlight alignment should be more heavily monitored 🤬. Great video as always ❤

New favorite quote, "Imagine the potential damage to your legs and dong!"

Donut: "Thank you guys, we'd be nothing without you!!!" *Proceeds with betterhelp sponsor*

I never had any idea how dangerous spiders could be to vehicles lol

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 ❤

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!

" A recall on a book, what is this, FLORIDA??" is my new favorite pumphrey quote

You know you’ve made in the car world when a company names a car part after you.

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 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!

Brooo not the spiders being the biggest menace to the auto industry 😂😂

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.

"What is this... Florida?" Comedy gold. Well done, sir. Well done.

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 😂

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

My legs and dong have never felt more safe. Thanks donut.

James facing down PTSD is an inspiration

See now we joke, but Doug Demuro would absolutely drive to the Honda dealership to get that sticker.

Bro the amount of times James said legs and Dong is hilarious

This is perhaps the most ridiculous thing one could have named after them. Congrats!

That sticker promo was so dang smooth, respect

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

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

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

I need some spider related Donut merch now lol

James doing the lord’s work out here worrying about our legs and dong

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 😂

Pumphrey is an inspiration to us all!

This slowly derails into a PSA about leg and dong protection 😭😆

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.

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.

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

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!

That Florida book recall joke is very fucking underrated

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.

“A recall on a book!? What is this… Florida?!” I did a spit take, well done.

Props to the designer putting (properly spelt) "Doughnut" over the Euro number plate on the Mazda

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.

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.

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!!!

Petition to make a "Don't burn your legs and dong shirt"

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 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 looks good! Good job, man!

Day 3 of asking donut to bring back up to speed

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.

Jeremy Clarkson: Drives around BBC HQ Our Boy James: Gets a new part named after him

Better help is an L shill

Hey hey let's go kenka suru Taisetsu na mono protect my b̶a̶l̶l̶s̶ [ legs and dong ]

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

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.

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 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!

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.

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 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

we didnt have that issue with our caravan, nope just sudden loss of power steering while climbing a big ass mountain in Tennessee

"I could probably figure it out, but I don't wanna" is how I live my life

The heater core in my 318is actually exploded on my foot when i crashed the car and gave me 3rd degree burns. Never heard before that it was actually a known problem in e30s

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.

Thank you James for reminding me of my copy of Satellite in the center console. Can't think of a better album to pop my new head units CD cherry. How has it affected my weekend, you [didn't] ask? You could say it really... set it off

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!

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 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.

The 92 Honda prelude. The front end started floating at 80. It was a wild ride lol. No recalls

"I've heard of cars professionally " might be the funniest thing I've heard all day.

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 love James transformation! And what a great video!

I drive a 2003 WRX. Subaru issued a recall because in cold weather a fuel hose will leak, making a puddle of fuel sitting on top of the block. The car smells like gasoline in the winter. The dealer refuses to honor the recall because to fix it involves removing the intake manifold and everything attached to it to get at one $20 leaking hose. I wrote to Subaru North American HQ in NJ, and they told the dealer to fix the recall. The dealer kept my car for a week and not only did they not fix it, the dealer loosened a few critical hose clamps so I would have to come back for repairs. It's a 20 year old car and I still haven't exploded yet.

I love the terrain headlights i could actually see the road and then some. My crv headlight sucks so much in comparison to it

"Ow, my legs and balls!" Iconic

I am glad you survived to have a Pumphrey bar named after you, unlike the Mansfield bar, posthumously created to save lives after the loss of Jane Mansfield.

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 👏

James put his own Legs and Dong in the line for us boys, this man is a menace.

Nahhhhh you said “speakers lit on fire” and my neighbors smoke alarm went off 😂😂😂 ain’t no damn way
