rev up your engine, a fail says Scotty is planned obsolescence
the standard of the industry nowadays well it certainly seems to look that way
with all this electronic stuff it can be easily made to fail once the warranty is
off the overuse of plastic parts certainly is planned obsolescence I mean
come on now you know the only reason that they're making the engine intakes
and parts on plastic because it's cheaper to do they can design them any
way they want and make them fast because if they wanted to design a really good
metal intake Oh they'd have to have very good casting and even then when they're
done casting the metal they got to polish it inside and stuff the plastic
is injected molded and it's all smooth inside there I have to do anything to it
other than bolted on when they're done it clip the tabs off so yeah it pretty
much is what the future is hold it for us, arty says can a seven year old
Civic Si be a good car if it was taken care of oh yes definitely
I've had many customers over the years buy those things used totally happy with
them as long as they were reasonably taken care of units to do much to those
Honda's as long as you change the oil every 5,000 miles it's regular oil or
seven thousand miles with synthetic oil generally they'll keep running there's
not much maintenance those things as I didn't beat him up I mean if you're
looking at one and some kid had it and it's got one of those funny little
mufflers in it it's been all souped up with a body panel and it has a crazy stereo
I wouldn't buy it then because they
probably beat the heck out of it but if it's still stock oh yeah it could be a
great used car no Ingram says what's your opinion on a
91 dodge cummins those were solid built vehicles back in the day it's got a
cummins diesel engine those are solid built trucks now it is a 91 it's old as
the hill who knows it's all worn out or not I mean you would never buy something like
that unless you're buying it for like four
hundred bucks if it still runs and drives without having a mechanic check
it out mechanic look at it but if you were thinking about buying one and maybe
fixing up not a bad idea cuz they were solid built I've seen those things were
three four hundred thousand miles never still going okay not like the new ones,
Nick berline says Scotty what do you think about a Toyota trucks or Ford trucks it
depends on what you want now if you're talking about smaller trucks yeah go
Toyota for sure tacoma beats the heck on out any
small trucks the Rangers can be okay but they're nothing compared, now if you're
going to larger trucks of course the Toyota Tundra is an expensive truck they
get expensive to repair as they age and get 200-300 thousand miles cuz of their design
but a lot of guys go forward full-size pickup and if
you're gonna tow stuff yes definitely you'd want a Diesel it's made for
towing, now I know the rest of the world companies like Toyota sell a lot of
diesel engines and stuff that they don't sell in the United States so worldwide
you can get a Toyota with a diesel that go right ahead but their not that big in
the United States with selling any diesel engines in their vehicles, Sergio
Reyes says what do you think about a Volvo s60 scotty, fun cars to drive their too
high-tech and you know the Chinese on them now and they're only gonna be
making hybrid and electric cars that's all they said they're gonna be making
you lose a lot of money when you buy a Volvo when I get all their their endless
money pits but on the other hand I've had customers buy an s60 used would say
eighty thousand miles for peanuts for three four grand and love the car if
they didn't put on much mileage they didn't have much breakdown it can be a
good car to buy used if it's low mileage in you know a guy like me they can check
it out to make sure it wasn't wrecked or flooded but don't pay much money
for them because they have no value now that they're not gonna be making any of
that stuff anymore, cpu club I just bought a 64 AMC Rambler classic wagon is
a project car what are your thoughts cool project car cuz you can get them
cheaper they're not like you're buying a 67 Mustang and you're going to pay through
the nose, those really interesting cars you know people either
loved them or hated them but it's basic technology that was before catalytic
converters that was before all this anti-pollution EVAP system crammed, yes
I think you made a good choice you can still get parts for you'll have a unique
vehicle to drive around with I think it's a good choice,
Steven says Scotty what's the best way to keep my power sunroof working as long as
possible first thing you want to do is every once in a while when you open it up
realize they have drain holes in them on the front there's two little pinhole drain
holes and on the back too easily are two so you want to clean that out around so
where you get a garden hose spray it and get all the leaves and stuff out then
you want a good lubricant that's going to lube where it slides and I find
that those sprays silicone ones are the best go spray silicon lube is pretty
much waterproof it's very water resistant and it will stay on and a
right and net will keep it lubricated so it won't bind and stink and if you live up
north leave the thing alone when it's freezing
outside because if you try to open it and things are frozen you might burn the
motor and even melt some of the wiring so that's the best way to keep those
things lasting, Mathew Gabe says are Filipino mechanics good
and honest well I've never been to the Philippines so I can't say there I've
met one Filipino mechanic and Houston here and he was a very nice honest
mechanic so it all depends on people you can't you make racial stereotypes you
know whether this person is a good mechanic or not I don't know when the
Philippines I have no idea I've never been there you know,
I have fans in the Philippines so if any of you guys want to chime in and say
yeah I know some good mechanics and a Philippines or they might say no they're
all crooks here cuz I know guys in New York City and they say the
mechanics there are all crooks I don't know I only know the one Filipino
mechanic here in Houston very nice guy and he's an honest mechanic, so if you never
want to miss another one of my new car repair videos remember to ring that Bell
