rev up your engines, Shakira says Scotty how much have you made from YouTube, well I
made a lot of money on YouTube but you got to understand that I've been doing this
since 2007, Google took over YouTube, and before that I was already a millionaire
because I've been working on cars running my own business, and if you've
been doing something for 50 years, just think about it, if you only had twenty
thousand dollars a year you saved after 50 years that's over a million and
that's not including interest and stuff like that, but I mean realize it takes time to
do things, it's not this magic get-rich-quick all of a sudden voila
just think, for every person who wins the millions and millions on the lottery
there are millions and millions of people who lose and only one person wins
that, but you want to do it yourself, hey I got married my wife worked, I worked, we
saved her salary, and the money I made fixing cars went to paying for the house
and all that, I bought this old house that I'm in
okay that was 40 years ago, and people said, Oh Scotty you're an idiot you paid
eighty thousand dollars for that old beat-up house, that was made in World War
two, and I said ah let's just see, well they were right, it still is an old
beat-up house, but the lot that it's sitting on is worth more than half a
million dollars, so that was a wise financial decision too
you know, anybody can really become a millionaire if you want to do a lot of
hard work, put a lot of time in it and do things that people need, in my case it
was fixing cars, originally just fixing cars, everybody needs their car fixed, or
as time went on, fixing cars and helping
everybody all over the world fix their own cars, I've helped millions of people
over the last 20 years on the internet and on YouTube, I've answered over a
million individual car questions, so it's a lot of work involved you know, don't
think that it's just easy peasy but if you're good at something, and you want to
put in the time, hey anybody can do it Sarah elk says Scotty should I pick a
2010 Toyota rav4 with 70,000 miles or a brand-new Chevy Equinox, my Chevy dealer
says it's dramatically more reliable than the Toyota, that's kind of like
asking the devil if hell's a nice place yeah it's great come on in, don't listen
to what any dealer of any sort tells you I mean they make a living by selling that
brand of cars you know, that's why I'm doing what I'm doing, there's a lot of
lying going on out there, me I'm just like my grandfather who was also a mechanic,
I tell people the truth, now the majority of people love me because I tell them the
truth and help them out, well there's a small amount of people that hate me,
because I tell them the truth about cars they're selling or how they rip them off
repairing their car, or they sold them a tool or some car wax that really was
useless, but it was a hundred dollars a bottle because it was claimed to be
nanotech and was fantastic and you never have to wax your car again, I'm out here
telling the truth about stuff, listen to a guy like me if you want to know about
cars, don't listen to the people selling you the car, Armand says Scotty could
a lexus 460 2007 still be a money pit if my trusted mechanic says it doesn't have
a major problem, let's say the previous owner didn't change the oil much, the
engine could run okay now cuz they're well-built engines, but let's say the
engine bearings are worn off on the crankshaft, even doing a compression test
of the engine, wet and dry which hardly anybody is ever going to do,
taking all those spark plugs out and doing a testing, you're gonna have to
pay somebody hundreds of dollars to do that even if that good, that
doesn't mean that the engine bearings aren't worn, because there's no way of
testing them other than taking the engine apart, taking the bearings off and
then measuring the clearance between the bearings and the crank, which nobody does
until they rebuild an engine, yes it could still be a money pit you never
know, if it's lower mileage less than 100,000 it's probably still got a lot of
life left in it, but I would never touch one of those things if it has 200,000
miles or more, because they generally do turn into money pits
with the v8 engines, don says my car's AC blower got blown recently,
replaced it with the non-oem blower and it doesn't blow air quite a strong, AC
cycles off more frequently, shop recommended evaporator coil cleaning, any
tips, I'd go OEM blower to begin with, and you might as well as
change the blower motor resistor, they don't cost that much and that's what
adjust the different speeds to your blower, and if that's one you're not
gonna get such high volume, and when you do replace the blower motor, look in
there and see if there's any paper towels or anything in there, and I mean
first you might just take the old motor off, get a flashlight and look in, cuz
there could be some paper towels or paper, I've seen all kinds of things in there,
I even found a cellphone in there that got stuck
in somebody's, they had one of those glove boxes that closes but it's open on the
inside, and when they hit a bump I guess the cell phone got sucked in and bounced and
fell in, so check that first, any kind of restriction is gonna do that, so if you
never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that
Bell!
