rev up your engines now Toyota is making an electric car it's only gonna be in Japan
it's starting in Japan 2020 called the BEV and it's a tiny electric vehicle
it's only 98 inches long and 51 inches wide they see it as a commuter car it
has a range of only 60 miles but if it's a commuter car doesn't need that long of
a range for what the Japanese are making for small an electric kind of go
together heavy big vehicles you gotta pull the batteries the weight of the car
they're not gonna be able to go this far but a small compact little car people
could have it as a second car no I guess they're not planning on even selling the
United States until 2025 or something there's our Toyota it's a smart company
they test their stuff in a smaller market first in Japan's a smaller market
Toyota Honda they test it out they're fuel-injected cars a lot of new designs
in Great Britain before they sold it in the American market perfected the stuff
so they didn't sell them to Americans and they broke and they got mad take
tesla for example he's pretty much using the American public some people
the cars then they see as they fall apart and have problems then they're
trying to fix them but they weren't perfected before sold Toyota is making
more sense perfect them than later songs of the American public that perhaps
their ideas best start with a small commuting car so the people that want
them can buy him cheaper and not try to fit everything like your cars really
aren't that good for long distance travel so why make one for that start
small and they get technology can make them go further great start with a small
things like Toyotas makes a lot more sense to me
here's some interesting news Mazda is bringing back the rotary engine but it's
not what you might think in 2020 we're coming out with a new crossover that's
going to be an electric slash rotary engine vehicle it's gonna be a pure
electric car that runs on a certain amount of electricity and then when that runs
low it's gonna kick in with the Wankel rotary engine now people thought the
rotary engine was dead well if they've got various problems of oil burning as
they age they don't get very good gas mileage and they tend to pollute a lot
more but this is they ask the secondary engine when the electricity runs out
really not a bad idea on mazdas because the rotary
engines are compact they're very small a tiny little one even like a 1.2 liter
puts on a lot of horsepower puts on a lot of power it looks like they're
bringing the rotary engine back in a hybrid bmw's got the same idea
with their electric car they use a BMW I believe it's a motorcycle engine in
their electric car so if it runs out of power that kicks in and starts
generating electricity with a generator you really want an electric car that you
run on a power you're stuck in the middle of nowhere
tesla again turns out that some of the older tesla just lost their screen stops
working what you want to think big deal well that controls a lot of stuff and
quite a few of them will not charge up there you have a chip and it's a big
deal controls a lot of stuff and it's always writing things on it all the
information is being written on it well I guess the idiots didn't think about
the future that since it's writing so much these chips have a limited lifespan
once they get too much written on they stop working and then boom the screen
goes on some of them won't reach arts and then you can't drive them this flash
storage drive is causing emmc it has things written then it takes it off then
has things written then it takes it off but it can only do that so many cycles
and then it doesn't work anymore so I guess Tesla didn't think up the long
term ratification of their data holding system now they're breaking down
well like ice already so don't buy new technology till it's been out a while
where you find out this technology isn't working so well a couple months ago I
had a customer just bought a Tesla my less and the sticker price the original
guy paid 124 grand he bought it for $45,000 with only 15,000 miles on it
that is horrendous resale value and I think it's time goes on it will probably
continue along that way when people find out that there's problems started any
people around to fix them correctly they just took technology a little bit
further than they should've to solid or the public until the stuff was tried and
true so beware if you drive one of those don't be surprised if your dash just
goes out and it won't charge anymore Sunspear gamer says Scotty as the 2004
Infiniti i30 5 for $4,500 with 55,000 miles a good buy I don't advise buying
the fancy infinities when they're old and have a lot of mileage that's all
that 16 years old but it's only got 55,000 miles you can find out that that
mileage is real sure for $4,500 55,000 miles generally those things
don't fall apart till you get 100 120 130 thousand miles and if you come by it
for 4,500 and get 45,000 miles is a pretty much trouble free out of it
why not, pay a mechanic to check it out because people I cheat and steal when
they sell used vehicles could have been wrecked flooded stolen you want to get
all that checked out proof can be shown that that's the real mileage sure could
be a fun car for that small price, kicker Bronski says hi Scotty I'm looking at a
1977 Chevy c10 newly rebuilt transmission 4,000 miles no sign of rust looks great
well should I look for before I buy it and would you recommend this being a
daily driver something that old the only way you can make it a daily driver is if
you go through it completely and rebuild the whole thing because it is so old all
the rubber seals are gonna be leaking all the rubber parts brake hoses you name it
you're gonna have to replace all that stuff to make it a daily driver and you
said the transmission is rebuilt but if it's still the original engine
it's gonna have a lot of miles on it those vehicles that actually make very
good project vehicles if you can get it cheap
you didn't mention a price you want to rebuild it as a project vehicle if you
want to go through it entirely put another engine and all that stuff remove
all the rotten parts to put new ones in but before you do that you want to check
it for us thoroughly because those 77s were notorious rust buckets you want to
look closely and get a hammer and hit all the metal parts make sure there
isn't bondo under there and like I had in a video I made a few months ago
thickness gauge the Russian sent me have somebody run that around you might find
there's a bunch of bondo or the paint's real thick cuz it's been rusted and
painted over because it's a rarity to find one of those is in the rust bucket
now if you're buying it from Arizona and New Mexico sure they don't rust there
cuz it's so dry that would be totally illogical but anywhere else you want to
really check for rust closely Jerome 96 once says hey I got a 2010 Chrysler Town
and Country 2.6 car was running fine but the next morning it cranked it started
stalling up and then it won't start anymore alright there's tons of things
that can knock out an engine when it's running okay and then you start it up
and it starts running for and dies but Chrysler Town and Country the number one
killer on those like that are the fuel pumps going out there inside the gas
tank and they burn out after a certain period
and what will happen is they'll run perfectly fine now when he showed up he
stopped so when he restarted it in the morning
if the pump was starting to go out it would run like crap because the
pressures too low and then if the pump completely stopped pumping it wouldn't
start at all until hour you would be just pop the air filter off spray a
little starting fluid if it starts and then dies outside of the fuel pump went
out now unfortunately it's a chrysler town and country van with the worst
vans ever made in history of mankind it's about 50 things that could do that
and I've seen them all do it I but try it's as simple as just the fuel pump
needs replacing because I see that a lot of those when they're nine years old
like that the pumps often crap out but all I ask Scotty I'm planning to buying
a new Ford EcoSport 1.0 turbocharged engine what do you think about ego
sports okay it's fascinating technology they've got turbochargers they got
gasoline direct injection and that's a tiny engine one liter for that size
engine it puts out a tremendous amount of horsepower but to get that horsepower
you using high pressure injectors you're using turbocharger those things don't
last as long that's just the way that it goes now if you're the type of person
that wants a little zippy vehicle and you changed or a lot to take care of it
and you don't expect to get more than say a hundred thousand miles out of the
vehicle before you buy another one go ahead you have good luck with it if
you're cheapskate like me and you want to buy a car let's stir the last two
three hundred thousand miles do not buy that car because they will not last that
long there's small engines they got a lot of pressure in them and it will wear
out faster the history of the older ones that were small engines that were
turbocharged of GDI they wear out faster because there's more strain in the
engine if you're the type of person that once gets a small car it's gonna last a
long time buy one that is not turbocharged following that is not GDI
that all wears out faster it's such high technology when they do break they're
very expensive to fix cuz a lot of guys don't know how to work on them and a lot
of the parts on our dealer only so you're gonna get paying through the nose
Joe Kahn says I'd like to get your opinion out of the statement Isuzu made
about the 3 liter diesel engine when asked why they produce only 177
horsepower they said it was purposely tweaked to reduce stress to make the
engine last longer is this nonsense or not actually it's not nonsense
and I think Isuzu made a good move there more stress you put on an engine
especially a diesel engine it's got tons of pressure faster it's gonna wear out
so you get more horsepower out of a smaller engine it's gonna wear out
faster it's just fat more pressure more friction you see all those little tow
trucks with the beds on the back those are isuzu engines in them and there was that
great end you just keep oiling and don't overheat them they can last forever
the most power things on the planet but a lot of people don't mind a diesel
you're not buying a diesel engine for racing you're buying a diesel engine cuz
you want something that holds up over time doesn't break down and there's a
lot of torque for pulling stuff so kudos to Isuzu now I'm not an Isuzu car fan
they stopped selling them in United States a long time ago they had such a
bad reputation they've always made good diesel engines and I think it's a smart
move doing that, so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair
videos, remember to ring that Bell
