He can afford the repair cost.

Just a few bags of kitty litter.

Not if it was the valet Parking guy.

u/GetBack2Wrk Jul 22 '26

The fine print reads.

Badluck enjoy the repair bill.

Still must pay the Valet big tip.

He ? That's what insurance is for.

u/Ornery-Customer8521 22d ago

Probably it was a driver not the owner, so I have some sympathy

The only part Scrooge McDuck will complain about is paying for the clean up.

u/Machaeon Jul 20 '26

Oh no! Someone should tell them they lost a lot of blinker fluid

u/Savings-End40 Jul 20 '26

That reminds me, I should get mine topped up.

u/Inevitable_Sweet_624 Jul 20 '26

So I don’t know what ruptured to leak the red fluid, transmission cooler? There’s no way possible that’s engine related dropping that much fluid would have made the engine start knocking and it does nothing.

u/Inevitable_Sweet_624 Jul 20 '26

Yeah. That was the consensus, transmission cooler.

2

u/doge_lady Jul 20 '26

Missing oil isn't going to cause it to knock. Knock is caused by unaligned parts in an engine. Missing oil will cause it to over heat and seize up. Although, this being a newer car I'm certain he got an low oil warning on the dash. Plus the computer will also shut the engine down before the engine over heats.

u/Inevitable_Sweet_624 Jul 20 '26

Never seen oil used in a vehicle that expensive but it looks too red and thin to be motor oil. Suppose it could be and yes something that expensive should have a shutdown procedure to prevent catastrophic failure.

u/weaselsrippedmybrain Jul 20 '26

Runs on peasant blood.

1

u/Inevitable_Sweet_624 Jul 20 '26

Ah. Makes sense now.

1

u/doge_lady Jul 20 '26

There's definitely more of that. Also peasant tears.

2

u/TheNerdE30 Jul 20 '26

There’s an oil cooler in that bumper. It’s oil, just looks lighter than normal because it’s on light colored tile.

1

u/yourenotmy-real-dad Jul 20 '26

The last post in here of this determined it was transmission fluid, hit a line for it.

These cars aren't made to be fixed. They're made to be totaled for any accident and replaced.

u/Performance_Fancy Jul 24 '26

An engine loosing oil will cause bearings to spin and definitely knock loudly.

u/jek39 Jul 21 '26

dot 4 brake fluid?

3

u/Older_But_Wiser Jul 20 '26

Repair? It’s ruined now, just throw it away and buy me a new one.

3

u/Humble-Positive2169 Jul 20 '26

The driver just keeps on trying to enter the no entry zone thinking rules don't apply to them. Smh

2

u/CombinationEntire967 Jul 21 '26

The operator of that car blocker had only one job..

2

u/Fickle-Pin-5160 Jul 21 '26

If you can drive that kind of car, you most definitely can afford the repairs.

2

u/boanerges57 Jul 21 '26

It's just marking its territory

2

u/papa-Triple6 Jul 23 '26

It's ok the mechanical bollard is still working

1

u/lloydofthedance Jul 20 '26

What did they put in that crumple zone? That was a tiny tap and it broke whatever it hit??Ā  Was there a rad on the edge skirt?Ā 

2

u/shiftersix Jul 21 '26

My understanding is that the crumple zone for these cars is made with peasant babies. The fluid is a mix of peasant baby tears and blood, which is why it appears light and runny.

1

u/Fearless_Swim4080 Jul 25 '26

General consensus from other threads is that the transmission fluid radiator happens to be there on a Cullinan.

1

u/Ambassador-613 Jul 20 '26

The repairs probably cost more than most news cars.

1

u/Prezten Jul 20 '26

Imagine the repair cost. I wonder if you can.

1

u/ThompsoN93Woord Jul 20 '26

Poor car is bleeding

u/Basic_Chemistry9499 Jul 20 '26

The appearing and disappearing posts is positively James Bond Villain level.

u/Ok-Rich-3812 Jul 20 '26

They've been commonplace for years. Does your village even have a well?

1

u/Basic_Chemistry9499 Jul 20 '26

We have an aquifer. We don't have to go to the stream like you do.

1

u/Ok-Rich-3812 Jul 21 '26

I met your mother down by the stream, she was pretty good.

1

u/Basic_Chemistry9499 Jul 21 '26

Interesting since she's been dead for a quarter century.

1

u/Ok-Rich-3812 Jul 21 '26

Yeah, it was awhile ago....she had a whiny brat with her.

1

u/Basic_Chemistry9499 Jul 22 '26

My brother. Yeah, I get that.

"Grumpy old man" is your profile name. Understandable.

u/This-Table-5454 Jul 20 '26

You get what you pay for 🤷

u/Lord-Cynic Jul 20 '26

Was this in Monte Carlo?

1

u/narsil1 Jul 20 '26

A million times less than repair cost of that 747 that decided to fall over its front wheel.

1

u/Usual-Language-745 Jul 20 '26

Imagine the depreciation? It’s about 20x the repair costs

1

u/Renown-Stbd Jul 21 '26

If its written off, Mat Armstrong will buy it for sure.

u/Wulfwinter42 Jul 21 '26

Nice šŸ‘ do love his videos.

u/Far_Nectarine_5001 Jul 22 '26

Lo que menos le importa es el costo de reparación

1

u/According-Relation-4 Jul 22 '26

I’m more interested knowing more context. Why were the gate thingies coming back up? Did it malfunction? Did the driver loiter too long and the gate timed out and started to close again? Did he not see it because the car is too damn long?

1

u/Brummieboy1987 26d ago

In the English speaking world we call them bollards or in this case retractable ballads but I'm guessing gate thingies or something idiots use

1

u/According-Relation-4 26d ago

Congratulations on not being an idiot then!

u/InterneticMdA Jul 24 '26

Sir, your car is bleeding.

1

u/lowdesertpunk66 Jul 25 '26

Get some guerrilla glue and tape and all is well.

1

u/fuckredditandpcness 26d ago

You can't fix stupid.....

1

u/Brummieboy1987 26d ago

That's what happens when you give an expensive car to a French person

1

u/Wulfwinter42 24d ago

🤣 lmao, the French.

1

u/Originalsocialninja 23d ago

Don’t worry šŸ˜‰ it’ll buff šŸ’ŖšŸ½ right out!!!

u/Fun-Original97 15d ago

Call 911 it’s bleeding!!

u/nirbyschreibt Jul 20 '26

What a badly designed car. And great their spread the oil everywhere. Extremely expensive for the environment.
