Car troubles can make people crazy. When there's a rattling under the hood or the engine light comes on (again), it's hard to keep your cool and stay level-headed. However, this guy in our next story completely unraveled when his car was "malfunctioning", but instead of consulting his mechanic friend for help, he dug his heels in on a totally incorrect theory.

This obstinate dude learned his lesson the hard way… When it comes to car troubles, stay in your lane and consult the experts.

Let's be honest, we all know that things can get a little troublesome when we're in a frenzy over figuring out what's going wrong with our vehicles, but always remember to do a sanity check before jumping to call a tow truck. If you're anything like this guy, you may learn that your car has a safety feature not to start when you have the transmission in 'Drive'.

Sometimes it's as simple as that.
