welcome to wacky Wednesday's, where everyone has a chance to show off their
car mods, and here's this week's winner,
hi guys I'm here in Corona Queens that's right Corona Queens, I'm here where the
Mets play baseball at Citi Field over there the Mets do play baseball there
and right next to Citi Field for those who are not New Yorkers is what's called
Willets Point, which is an area of Queens Coll that's nicknamed the Iron Triangle
why because it's trying it's a triangular-shaped plot of land where
pretty much all stolen cars end up to be chopped apart in chop shops and if you
look around it's pretty scenic I mean we have garbage on all sides, we have
leftover car parts over there and it's quite post-apocalyptic that's the honest
truth, the roads here are nuts so we're gonna take a tour of the Iron Triangle
for those who don't know this is the last part of New York
City that doesn't have underground plumbing or sewage, so when it rains it
just simply puddles up on the ground and you can imagine there are no bathrooms
period it just doesn't exist, so we're gonna take a tour the roads here are
full of potholes and everything it's quite wild, check this out
I forgot to mention one key factor, in the Iron Triangle that's really
old-school there gonna be people who come up to the car and say what you need
what you need, and that's because they want to work on your car and they're
offering your services they're not coming up like to sell drugs or do
anything illegal, although they are probably all illegal workers but that's
a different story, but it's totally safe here despite how it looks it looks
freaky deaky, but they're actually really nice people and after after a
while coming here I've been coming here for years you started to see the same
people and they're here for years they know you and it's all good but it is
freaky when you never seen it before, check this out,
here's the Iron Triangle there's exactly one place that's zoned for residential
use and it has one residence that's right the entire Willets Point has
exactly one person living in it, and he lives right here in this house we're about
to drive past, a gigantic pothole
so this here is his house, this is the one and only resident
residentially zoned house in all the Willetts point, there's an old man who
lives there and refuses to leave so I've been told, he's in something like in his
80s and he don't want to give this place up which is understandable I guess if
you want to live around that
I am in the Iron triangle and I actually can't pass the street because there's
just two gigantic of a puddle in there garbage in the way up here, so I'm just
driving straight down the sidewalk which isn't
that much better, oh man,
look at that old car there,
this place is bonkers and I love it, yeah this car isn't getting through that
that's just not happening not in this car, oh man you
need like Hummer or something make it through these potholes
I so apparently no one's coming up to the car cuz they see the camera stick
at the top of the sunroof and fail I guess in that department but if I
hadn't had that they'd be walking up and go what you need what you need after
every single person who you saw standing in the street would be doing that
towards the far end of the Iron Triangle which I believe is the northern point
there's also the garbage Depot where the garbage trucks park for the night and man it
stinks on the side it's also got areas that are marked as being contaminated
land and caution and toxic waste and whatever other nastiness, there's also no
real Road rules here I mean you could just kind of drive where you want I'm
told for my friends who are Indian that in India it's kind of like that
everywhere but here this is New York City and this is about the only place
that's like that,
the interesting thing about the Iron Triangle is it's right next to Citi
Field where the baseball to play baseball
and it's not just next to it I mean that's literally the field
that's the iron triangle, it's just like no barrier
I'm actually trapped at the car because I can't cross that, that's just too deep
turn around here, but this is bonkers, for those who aren't familiar with the area it's
all filled with cars that people repair or strip for parts pretty much all
stolen cars in New York end up here and everybody knows it and no one seems able
to do anything about it, well that was this week's video and to
have your car mod shown on my channel here, check this out,
so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to
ring that Bell!
