rev up your engines, Aaron says Scotty what do you think about McLaren, if you
have an endless amount of money to spend get a McLaren, I've driven them and they
drive like scalded Apes, those are insane English sports cars that cost a fortune
of course and only rich boys can drive those things around, but they are really
interesting design, realize that all these Formula one cars they're almost
all designed by English people in England, it doesn't matter which
companies they are, they hire these English engineers
my next-door neighbor is English she's from England, her father had a giant
mansion and owned a steel company and when they nationalized it he lost that, well
one of his sons is an engineer he's English but he's a Formula one engineer
for ferrari, so the english are really good at designing stuff like that
they're really into race cars, jerry Schmidt says Scotty any opinions on
first generation Miatas the ones with the pop-up headlights just bought one
with two hundred and five thousand miles any comments on them, those were fun little
sports cars, now hopefully got one with the standard transmission, the automatic
transmissions were garbage and you got one with two hundred five
thousand miles if it was an automatic I'm sure it would shift horribly it wouldn't
run very good at all it doesn't have much power, but the standard transmission
ones they were cute little sports cars, they can last a long time and they're
cheap to buy, they sold quite a few of them and the resale values aren't
particularly high because it'll never be a real collector's item like you know a
67 Mustang or something, so you can get a good price on them and the parts are
still readily available for them so if it runs good especially if it's a
standard transmission, yeah you could have gotten a good deal on it, just don't
pay too much of course cuz it's an old Japanese sporty little car that never
was worth all that much money, king smurf says Scotty a 92 Dodge Stealth single
overhead cam v6 five-speed are they collectibles not really
the v-6 engines are like meh, nobody wanted the v6 engines, people in the Dodge
products they want the v8 engines, they want the big ones they don't want
the little bitty ones, nobody's that interested in them, I mean if you can get one
cheap and driving around, have some fun with it, but I don't think that will ever
be a collectors item because with dodge everybody's thinking of
muscle cars and the v6 engines, nobody gives a hoot about the v6 engines, they just didn't care about them
and they were never that popular with anybody, everybody wanted the 8's just
like you know, you're gonna get a charge or a challenge or everybody wants to get
a hellcat with a v8 and that they don't want the six-cylinder engines, now the
six-cylinder engines are okay but they'll never be collectors items, nobody really
wants those, they want the v7's, razor says what's a good car
to start with, a good car to start with if you want something's gonna last go to
Craigslist and get an old Toyota Corolla or an old Camry doesn't matter if it's 25
30 years old if it still runs and goes good, it's a great car to start with
because they were simple, they didn't break that much, parts are available and
the parts are relatively cheap because now all the Corollas and camrys you
can get parts from China and so there's plenty of cheap parts available they
worked perfectly good, that's a good starter car because everything's
out there you're not gonna pay much for one, so if it gets wrecked and something
goes wrong, take both of my sons, both of them wreck the first cars I got them so
you don't want to spend too much money on your first car, cuz odds are you're
probably gonna wreck the thing, Robert says why are Honda Pilot
transmissions so bad, well it's cuz its Honda, Honda is not an
automatic transmission company, but they make their own automatic transmissions
now you take Nissan, Nissan owns the company that makes their transmissions
Jatco, Toyota they own part of the company that makes their transmissions
Aisin, Aisin makes very good transmissions that's one of the reasons Toyota's don't
have problems, but Honda some reason they decided to make their own automatic
transmissions and they were never that good at it, I don't know they should have
just bought them from somebody else but they wanted to do the R&D and do it
themselves and they made a lot of horrible transmissions over ages and
since that's the pilot, which is really the biggest thing that Honda makes
Honda was never into making really big things, so of course a big thing the
transmissions strain more and they're gonna have more problems with it just
like their Honda Odyssey vans, they had transmission problems that's one of
their bigger vehicles and their transmissions had problems up the wazoo,
hey says I have a Dodge Durango 2002 it stalls when I hit bumps or
pot holes we changed the battery, spark plugs, and TPS we can't find the problem
ok you hit bumps and it stalls, something is knocking electricity loose, check all
the wiring connectors make sure that they're tight, unplug them all look
inside, if there's green that's corrosion and then you gotta clean it off with
spray electrical cleaner and put them back together again, something
electrical is probably shorting out and on those, especially check the main
computer, where the main computer is there's a huge wiring harness that clips in
unclip it and look for green corrosion on it because they will often get them
on those and then when you hit a bump that little bit of corrosion gets a
little bit loose and then it shuts off, somewhere something's either loose or
corroded that's knocking power out to your car and if you want to figure out
what it is, pay a mechanic like me to put his high level dealer scan tool on a take it
for road test over bumps and when it dies, it memorizes that data and it will
see what shut off then you'll know exactly where it is, that's how I figure
out what's wrong with them when I get something like that, so if you never want
to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
