rev up your engines, atom Roger says Scotty purposely run
out of gas two to three times a week cuz I want to see how far the car can go
after empty is it harming it, yes it is do not do that, one if there's any crud in
your gas tank the crud will go to the bottom and then you'll suck the crud off
the bottom, but the main thing is if you actually run out of gas until it stops
running, all modern cars have their fuel pump inside the gas tank, the
gasoline that lubricates the electric pump, sounds crazy but the gasoline flows
through the pump and it lubricates the bearings, you actually run out of gas
and the car stops running that means your
fuel pump sucked air, when it's sucking air there is no gasoline lubricating the
bearings and it can quickly burn out the fuel pump, fuel pump replacements on some
cars can be close to a thousand bucks or more, don't do it it's not a good idea
now you know why, Dan Lockwood says Scotty are the Broncos 89 to 96 a bad
investment, well you know basically most cars are horrible investments because
you put your money in and they just go down in value as time goes on, you know
that's just how cars are, if you're talking especially an 89 and if the body
wasn't rotting, you buy an old vehicle like that you want to make sure the
frame isn't rotten and it doesn't have any problems, you want to check that out
first, it could be a decent investment because people like collecting older
vehicles, and if the body is solid and not rotting away and you want to fix it up
or you want to put bigger engine in it you can do that on those old vehicles
they can be fun, you know just of course don't do what a lot of people do, which is put
too much money in the car, they over invest in the car and they never get it
back, if you like an 89 Bronco and you want to fix it up and drive around and it's
not rotting and the frame is not rotting away, get it you can have some fun
with it, royal purple or OEM oil filters the royal purple are high-end oil filters,
they are excellent oil filters, as far as I know royal purple doesn't make them
somebody else makes them, like Mobil 1 high-end synthetic oil filters but they don't
make them, you know any high-end filters generally
pretty good, if you're curious do like I did in my
video that I was talking about that explains which oil filters are good which you
should buy, is get an oil filter some time, get a hacksaw and just cut it in half
and you can see the difference in the cheap one and a good one, you see the
good ones have higher quality steel parts instead of plastic, and they have
thicker more pleats of filtration materials
you know they cost more and they're better made, david crock says would you
daily drive a Mazda Miata, well I wouldn't because they're girly
cars they have the image of being girly cars and
the girly sports car you know, that's the image
that they got, that said they are fun to drive I like driving around when I work
on my customers miatas, they've made it for decades they're very reliable
cars, I personally think they stink with the automatic transmissions, I'd want a
standard because when I work on the automatic ones they're dogs and when
they're old generally they fall apart, mazda makes pretty crappy automatic
transmissions ,but their standard transmissions are pretty much
bulletproof they're excellent, they can go really a long time and they are fun
to drive, they're fun cute little sports cars if you don't mind the girly image
that they have, Stephen Beatty says, I got a 2017 Explorer 2.3 EcoBoost how good
are the GDI motors, the earlier ones and they had a few problems here and there
if you do buy a GDI motor be religious about changing the oil, don't get this bs
that you can change it every 10 20 thousand miles, change it every 5,000 miles
religiously on a vehicle like that, because it's got more pressure with the
injectors, turbochargers more strain on the engine, I would religiously change
the engine oil every 5,000 miles and never let the temperature gauge get warm
and ruin one of those engines, because they can last if you take care of them
but if you don't their money pits, the customers of mine that don't maintain
that cars and bought those things, they had engine problems as they aged, but the
ones that took care of them, they're still having good luck with them
Richardson said do rim protectors work, would you put them on
your cars, I wouldn't put them on my cars because
they're ugly as can be, I wouldn't want to ruin the look of the thing and I know
how to drive so I don't hit curbs all the time, I mean they're a cover over it and
if you got some maniac that's grinding into the curb it's gonna grind those off
or knock them off real fast and still eat up the rims, they're ugly the whole
point of fancy wheels this their fancy wheels, if you put some ugly rubber
protector on it, I got a guy from Russia just sent me some with
different colors, green yellow red, ugliest looking things I ever saw
you're not gonna stop any big damage anyways, your best bet is have a car like
my wife's old Toyota Matrix, fancy alloy
wheels but the tires sit out a lot more than the wheels, so if you go slow when
you rub on a curb you just rub a little of the rubber off the tire and it
doesn't touch the rim, that's the best way to go,
the best protection is to have rims that are inside the tires, so if you never
