rev up your engines, Alex a says Scotty I just bought a 95
Toyota Camry, the coolant doesn't look dirty but should I replace it anyway
since I don't know the last time it's been changed, yes it's a good idea
there's different types of coolants and they last for different periods of time
the best coolant out there is the whole coolant that toyota uses, hybrid organic acid
technology, yours didn't come with that but you should flush it all out and put
some of that in now, then you don't think about it for like seven years, but do
not mix it, you don't ever want to mix different types of coolant, so you would
want to flush all the coolant out of that camry, get everything out then put
fifty percent HOAT coolant and fifty percent water, now if you don't want to
go that far you could use the oat coolant, organic acid technology, it costs a little
bit less, but it's still pretty good stuff, get rid of all the old
stuff because you'd have no idea what's in there, how old it is, especially if
it's 95, and then put in the new stuff most definitely says hey Scotty what do
you think of Monroe brake pads any good I remember hearing they're made in the US,
you know here's the funny thing, I used to like them years ago when I was a kid
we used to buy them and they were good pads, but a few years back I
bought some of their high-end ones the more expensive ones, the high quality
ones, and they were horrible they made all kinds of noise they looked
cheaply made, some of them the pad wasn't even glued onto the backing steel right,
you can see some of them were crooked, I don't use them anymore because I just, maybe
their getting better now but the last time I used one was a couple of
years ago and it was so poorly made I stopped buying them,
MC says hey Scotty should I get a 2019 Toyota Sequoia,
they're called Sequoia is because they're like sequoia trees they're huge,
gigantic things, if you want a gigantic vehicle, go ahead and buy that it's one of
the best gigantic vehicles out there, now
realize their still tremendous gas hogs in town, those things are so big and heavy
with their big v8 engines they do not get very good gas mileage, they last a long
time, I personally have customers with them and when I
ask them is it running ok, oh yeah it's running great, and I say so what about your
gas mileage and they say, Scotty we don't even
want to check the gas mileage cuz we know it's probably
so low that we'll be depressed driving it in town, but if
you want a big vehicle like that go ahead and buy one, just realize the price
of gas is low now here in Texas, last I saw one was $1.80 a gallon, but it's
not gonna last, it's gonna go back up again and you're not gonna be happy if
gas is five dollars a gallon and you're getting bad gas mileage just realize
that, Jim Wilson says Scotty my car has some clearcoat peeling up, I
wash and wax it monthly already what else can I do to prevent peel, and do you
think those ceramic coating products would help, the ceramic coating products
from my experience it's a line of bs, I tried out various different
ones and for some weird reason a bunch of them seem to come to me at least from
Russia, but none of those things do what they say, I tried them out on stuff, at bunch
of malarkey and a lot of times it will be a little bottle and it'll be $49 you know
most of that's a bunch of hooey, the problem with clear coating is, if you
got clear coating and it's starting to peel it's shot, and only thing you can do
is take it off with a remover and re-clear coat the car if the paint
underneath is okay, otherwise you got paint the whole car over, but if it's
just the clear coat, you have to remove it and re-clear coat it, there's lots of
guys that'll do that and if you want to spend that kind of money go right ahead
but once it starts peeling it's too late there's nothing that you can do, other than
remove it and clear coat it over, because it's just peeling off and it's not like
humans where you get a sunburn and you peel off the dead skin
cars aren't alive, there's nothing under that's gonna grow back in, john vidal
says is porsche owned by Volkswagen can you confirm, oh yeah Volkswagen owns
Porsche they own Audi, it's a big company they bought a lot of
companies out, now you got to understand basically Porsche
the early Porsches were just fancy Volkswagens, I mean they had the same
little bitty four-cylinder engine in it, the James
Dean Porsche that he died in was a Porsche but it had the four-cylinder
Volkswagen engine with a couple of carburetors on it, because it was a
racing one but, you know they always had close ties anyways, the problem is that the
technology that's in the Porsche which is high technology, they put a lot of it
in the Volkswagen so now not their more expensive and complicated to fix, it used to be you
bought a Volkswagen Beetle any moron could fix it they were very simple and
easy to maintain, you can even change the oil without jacking the car up just crawl
under and empty it out, put two and a half quarts of oil in and away you went, but
not anymore it was actually worse for Volkswagens than it was for Porsche, so
