rev up your engines, Scot cause he says hey Scotty I was
wondering what your thoughts ont a new 2020 Supra okay it's not really a
Supra it's a BMW roadster it's made by BMW in a BMW factory and I just read
that if you get a loaded one it's gonna be close to $100,000 well I think it's
just kind of fool hearty yeah I like Toyotas but I don't understand it this
thing wouldn't make a sports car make a sports car don't have somebody else make
it for them and then call it a Toyota now Subarus make their other one a little
sports car and that's just a Subaru BRZ it's not Toyota, Toyota doesn't make them
they're made in a Subaru Factory I don't comprehend this big deal but
everybody oh the Supra it's coming back and no it's not coming back it's a BMW
it's a completely different vehicle than it was just like when Volkswagen made
the new beetle all look the beetle is back, no it isn't it had nothing to do
with the old beetle it wasn't an air-cooled reliable
four-cylinder in the back it was a water-cooled basically run-of-the-mill
Volkswagen Rabbit whatever with the engine in the front had nothing to do
with it and in the case those it kinda had those horrible automatic
transmissions that broke down all the time and people should have sued
Volkswagen over but nothing ever came of that, those transmissions were
horrible they were all around horrible cars high-tech but it's a BMW it's not a
Toyota you want to buy a BMW buy from BMW don't buy it from Toyota had really
very little to do with making the car, Emelia craftsman thanks Scotty what do
you think of the new McLaren Senna okay we're talking about English supercars
and they are cool-looking they're super fast and they are very rich men's toys
when people have that kind of money, I was at a business meeting once in
Seattle with some of these internet dudes that I deal with one of the
English guy was all saddened I said, what are you sad about he said, oh you know I
just sold my McLaren cuz I needed some money to put into my startup company
here well if you get to sell a car to get enough money for a startup company
in Seattle you know that car cost an awful lot of
money, their rich mens toys their cool-looking vehicles but I mean the average
person you're never gonna get in one and you certainly wouldn't want to be able
to afford to either buy it or repair in it, it's a rich man's toys it's another
world and I'm not part of that world, so you probably are not, Wulf 190 oh we
got a world war ii fan huh, hey Scotty I want to buy a rally car for the cheap I
think the e30 BMW is the best BMW they're endless money pits as they age
period now if you've got the wolf name maybe you're in Germany where
parts are cheaper and there's probably a bunch of old ones lying around in
junkyards huh go right ahead and screw around with it in the United States parts
are just so expensive for BMWs, it'd be foolhardy to make a cheap rally car it
wouldn't be cheap by the time you were done, but if you're in Germany and a
parts of cheap Bank go ahead and have fun with it just don't do that in the
United States, o'clock six I have a Honda Civic that idles up and down the RPMs
go way down sometimes even shuts off okay hondas are notorious for that the
throttle assemblies often get gunked up with carbon make your car run better
with a little spray cleaner and it does a very good job, now if it's not that it
keeps going up and down generally you got a vacuum leak and you get vacuum
leaks all over the place, I've got a video for that too is finding engine
vacuum leaks it was a cigar you can try that, blow around try to find a vacuum
leak but I know it's almost always the throttle suddenly gets gummed up and
messed up Honda's have been that way for ages, good to see you Samira says what do
you think of Holden's that GM imported in your semester a Chevy SS Pontiac g8
do you think they're better than the American ones, actually I do think
they're better than the American ones I've got friends in Australia and they
love them, unfortunately a short time ago hold and went out of business and
they'll make cars in Australia anymore it just couldn't compete anymore
Australia it's like everywhere else they're all driving Japanese cars around
and they're pretty well built they get you know a little bitty microcars there
they got great gas mileage or you know you can get bigger ones so they pretty
much took over the market there and they don't make them anymore, but yeah I had a
friend that had one ,here the SS and he loved it their fast the Australians
are in the muscle cars just like the Americans so, less than 16 does anyone
know the solution to a 1998 Honda Accord with a
sub frame rotting away should I welded it, in the olden days cars had a frame
then the body of the car was bolted onto it with separate pieces
now with unibody construction, now unibody means all things one body it's all
welded together and there's no solid frame the subframe starts riding on
those things basically you junk them they're not worth fixing it's just the
truth they just are not worth fixing because the structural integrity is gone
like even on a frame vehicle if the frame is rotting away you can take the body
off and then rebuild the frame if you want, it's doable but still that's so
expensive it's usually not worth doing unless it's some kind of classic vehicle
that you're doing over for most cars when frame rots and especially if it's
unibody, unibody forget it you just get rid of them it's not worth fixing
highwaymen says Scotty I'm looking at getting a 2005
honda civic SI 5-speed manual with 77,000 miles, their very good cars with
the manual transmission the automatic are weak but the manuals are good, now that
thing is what fifteen years old, I wonder does it really have 77,000 miles you
want actual proof paperwork receipts maybe even a mechanic you can talk to
look at if you can get the inspection record, a lot of things like CARFAX I'm
not that big of a carfax fan but they can give you all of the state inspection
reports and each time it was inspected it's got the mileage you have to see
that it makes sense that those are all there and it wasn't a hundred and eighty
thousand, then the next year was seventy meaning that they rolled it back so you
want the information there too, don't trust anybody when it comes to mileage
geez Sutera says anyone know ways to prevent my car from getting stolen the car theft
is high in Utah, you want to park it in places where it's hard to steal you got
a garage put it in the garage and they're really serious get stuff like
Viper antitheft alarms, or put in your own anti theft switch so if somebody
tries to steal a thing is with modern cars most of them have an immobilized
keys anywhere they're really hard to steal, the only way you can really
steal them is if you work at the dealer and you made another key for the car
when he sold it to you and they come back and steal it, or somebody gets a
hand on your key back the vehicle or the tow truck I'm totally why you're never
gonna stop anybody from doing that, you got on an immobilizer
now if you have a vehicle that doesn't have an immobilizer then like I said
you had a system put in any of those carjack LoJack whatever have one of
those systems put in because that makes it very hard to steal but all modern
cars least here in the United States they've got immobilized in them and
they're very hard to steal unless you actually get the key in it or if you
have a keyless one, now the keyless ones are different any mechanic or any thief
really wanted to that has a fancy computer can get a blank key on eBay for
your car and if they get in your car they can reprogram that key and drive
away with their car another reason I don't like the keyless systems, I like a
key, somebody's got to have a key to start the car then, they can't just do it by
messing with computers, so if you never want to miss another one of my new car
repair videos, remembering to ring that Bell
