rev up your engines, scotty I'm planning to buy a 1993
Toyota Crown Royal saloon is it good for daily driving, those were great vehicles back
in 1993 now you're talking about 27 year old car
I don't advise anybody to buy a 27 year old car for daily driving too many
things can go wrong, it's a Toyota yes but it's old the rubber stuff can start
to rot and something as dumb as the rear main seal on the engine for the
engine oil it's gonna be worn and if it goes off and it starts pouring oil on
the ground you're gonna have to pull the transmission off to change a ten-dollar
part that's gonna cost you probably a thousand bucks to take the transmission
apart and get to the engine and put it in and then put it all back together
again, you have to understand you got cars that are 27 years old they're not made
for daily driving anymore, even guys I know
that have classic cars they don't drive them every day even if they've been
fully done over and they got a hundred grand in them you know, if they drive
every day they're gonna wear stuff out just cause it's so old, Robert says
I just watched your video and why not to buy an Optima battery and I don't care
what they say about you Scotty you know what you're talking about, the
reliability of these Optima batteries is completely gone to poop, keep these
videos coming more people need your experience, well that's what I'm here for
years and years ago I told people buy these Optima batteries they were
excellent batters but their quality is one they move their factory to Mexico
fired all the Americans the most evil thing of all, they go down to Mexico
so they can make them cheaper, but now the prices today are more than twice what
they were 15 years ago, so they doubled their prices and the
quality has gone downhill and when I see stuff like that I love telling people
about it because I used to be so mad I saw all these problems things that were
made wrong and I tell the custumer that's one person I can tell millions of
people, so when you have problems make sure you tell me about it and I can talk
about them too, so maybe you won't buy it or eventually these
companies will have to build them better gonna go out of business
cuz ultimately if you don't buy corporation's products, they will go out
of business they're just there to sell things and if they don't sell them they
go out of business, Cuban school says scotty's wrong here when he says Dodge
quality went down since Fiat stepped in I think it's the other way around, well I
don't know about that because I don't know that Fiat quality could go any
lower and yeah the Dodge quality wasn't that great either I mean that's sort of
like which came first the chicken in the egg you know you got a point there
cuz Chrysler quality has always been and Fiat qualities is low, so it's like a
downhill merger of two bad companies see how low can they go a lower and
lower, Fiat Chrysler boy they're making the bar go lower and lower I'll say that,
hey scotty do those ultrasonic devices that run off
the battery work, yeah I even made a video on that, they do actually work but
you gotta buy the good ones that are two frequencies because originally they were
one frequency it's ultra sonic sound that we can't hear but the rodents can, I
even kind of wondered do these things really do anything,
I got a marksman which is an ultrasonic listening kit for listening to wheel
bearings and stuff, and it picks up an ultrasonic sound so when I got that I
put it on, I put it next to one of these things and yeah it would go and you'd
hear the sound so the rats hear that and don't like it, but from what I've
researched the rats get used to it and they just ignore it right, but the
good ones are dual signals make all kinds of noise and they can't get used
to the vacillating pitch and it drives them nuts, I actually have them inside
the walls of our house this old beam house we used to get rats in the
winter and we hear them behind our bed post inside the wall scratching away
when they had babies you hear a little squeaking and everything, we'd pound on the
walls in the middle night they'd shut up for a while, but then they'd come back, I
stuck the noise ones, the ones that go weee in and put the plaster over and painted it,
guess what they all ran away and never came back, we don't get that noise
anymore it really does work so you can get one of those, gus says hey Scotty
are you the back to future professor cuz you're freaking knowledgable love your
videos, well no I am NOT but I actually was once a professor at the University
of Illinois, I was writing my PhD there my wife always laughs and said gee I
thought you were gonna be a doctor now you just a mechanic fixing things well
it's kind of funny people always said uh grease monkey what does a stupid mechanic
know, my grandfather was a mechanic too, now he
wasn't educated he was a country boy, he grew up in a country but he was very
smart, now he was a very good contract bridge player the card game and he had
no training on that, he just picked it up so don't think that mechanics are
stupid people, and these days, now a lot of them are like
we don't want to be known as mechanics we're technicians, well I want to be known
as a mechanic it's a cooler name anyways technician that's too nerdy, I like
the idea mechanic, but universal mechanic I like that, so if you never want to miss
