We Tested TikTok Car Hacks

TikTok is full of life hacks, especially when it comes to cars. So James Pumphrey and Jeremiah Burton decided to test 'em out to see if they're real or bogus. This is the D-List!

About The D-List:

"you get a dent in car and all of a sudden everyone thinks you're poor." Ain't that the truth

[harshvardhanchowdhary]

The hack for starting a car without keys sounded like a Creepypasta ritual.

[andrewmattera]

I like how D-List has just become James and Jeremiah trashing a MKIII Jetta

[ceakoth]

Jeremiah’s smile/laugh is infectious, makes me feel like I’m right there up to some good shenanigans with my boys. Great stuff guys, keep up the great work

[wooceanman]

"So this video is not going to be an hour?"
"No"
Everyone else: it'd be a lot cooler if it was

[miguelalvarez]

The sequential no key start up should be tried on Nolan’s imperial, I’m pretty sure it could have save him time and trips to O’reilly.

[ArkayeCh]

I can't believe they got an actual zebra for the ad.

[jacksonpowers]

Quick story: earlier this summer, I tried the bottle opener trick at a party, thinking I was slick and smart, I couldn’t get it to work for a minute, I then pressed a bit harder and I broke the top of the bottle neck sending glass all over the ground, I definitely didn’t feel that smart afterwards lol

[johanstefonski]

"Get a dent in your car, people are going to think you're poor" Joke's on them, I'm poor as hell.

[jacobfowler]

TikTok be like: “If you rub toothpaste all over your engine bay, you’ll get 1000 more car powers!”

[SerumTjmp]

Gosh TikTok is taking over everything and I don't like it...

[kuboskube]

Thank you for being one of the creators who can make me WANT to watch a sponsored ad. I loved your genuine bona-fide pedigreed zebra.

[TheMrStromax]

Imagine being in a car and in need of rescue, and then see the rescue people pull out a Gatorade and a Monster saying they saw this trick on TikTok 😂

[brazen]

The hack for starting a car without keys sounded like the “how to get the ray gun out of the mystery box” how you would press random buttons and shoot random things thinking it would give you a ray gun if you did it right

[kimchua]

“If idiots could fly, TikTok would be an airport.”

[darrenp]

Love you guys!!! BTW, the "dent" trick works #1 on soft surfaces like bumper covers and #2 when they are left in strong, direct sunlight for an hour or two.. They become super soft and pliable so a steady tug from the deepest part of the damage usually will pop back into place.

[pjdolont]

The male end of your seatbelt clip is also a bottle opener.

[kibblegaming]

I’m so glad they started D-List. It’s one of my favorite donut shows now.

"Brought the most scientific guy I know"
*Bart cries in loneliness*

[exastrisscientia]

The old school (non autobody shop) way of pulling out a car dent was to use a toilet plunger like a giant suction cup.
The bowl/cup shaped plungers work best and they come in different sizes. Just remember to clean and spray a little water on the dented area for good contact if needed.
Plus no chance of glue being stuck to your car or damaged paint.
