Rev up your engines, nathan says scotty what's the worst car you've
ever worked on, the worst car I've ever worked on, it was the weirdest thing, chrysler had
a deal going years ago that they sold a funky cat they called it a sports car but I wouldn't,
and they did it with I forget which company, but it was one of those companies maserati
and it was part chrysler and part Italian sports car and when I looked under it I could
not help but laugh, coming out of the back it had dual exhaust, a pipe on each side,
then I crawled under it and one was a fake muffler that went nowhere, and the other one
was the actual exhaust system, they actually put a fake dual exhaust system on that car,
and it was the biggest pike of junk that I ever saw in my life, the guy bought it years
later it was like 20 years old then, and he thought, oh it's worth something because it's
an Italian sports car that Chrysler sold, he lost his shirt on that deal when he found
out that it had this fancy power braking system that uses a nitrogen boost system and that
was going to cost him $3,000 to fix that, he sold it for $500 and he lost about $4,000
on the deal, do you think electric cars are the future,
yeah they'll probably be the future but it may be long in the future, we are a petroleum
based society, there's still a lot of petroleum and natural gas all over the place,
the whole infrastructure of society is set up for that,
switching to electric would require a paradigm shift in our society,
and I don't think that anybody is planning on spending the money for that infrastructure,
elon musk with his Tesla, yeah their cool cars I got customers with them but their very
expensive, they take a long time to recharge the battery, and most people even if your
near a tesla supercharge station, if it's almost out of power it's going to take almost
an hour to charge it up, hey people don't have that much time to wait,
and lets says there's 3 people in front of you and that means a 3 hour wait before you
get to full yours up, nobody is going to handle that kind of stuff,
I think it will be way way in the future that it will be electric cars, maybe in bit areas
yeah that could easily happen but somebody has to spend money on the infrastructure and
I don't see anybody doing that they way out society has been going recently,
Jade says I recently purchased a 1990 indy 500 pace car corvette with 58,000 miles for
$9,000, I was wondering if you think it was a good buy and how good a year is that corvette,
ok well a 1990 corvette, it was kind of an in between, their not particularly high performance
cars, but you paid $9,000 and it's got 58,000 miles on it, if it's in good shape the body
is nice and clean, it runs good, yeah you got a decent price on it, you know take care
of it, it's a fun car to drive around, but realize it's a 1990, so that thing is almost
30 years old, it's an old car, it's not the type of car you want to drive every day and
put 20,000 miles a year on, if you have another car for your regular run around knocker car
and use that for a cute car sure have fun with it,
ben says scotty it an 04 nissan murano sl awd reliable and safe car, my sister got it
for her first car and has 108,000 miles on it, well tell your sister to take care of
it, change the oil a lot, because their not the most reliable cars,
at that age they have a tendency of falling apart especially their automatic transmissions
and that's an all wheel drive one, if that tranny goes out,
to fix an all wheel drive transmission is going to cost more money than that vehicle
is worth, 2 or 3 times what the vehicle is worth, so tell her to baby it, take care of
it, and you never know, but don't put a bunch of money into it because
you'll never get it back if it does start to break down and at that age, that was 4
years after renault merged with nissan and their quality started to go downhill,
spec says I'm new in Canada and I'm thinking about buying a used 2013 audi a4 2.4t for
the snowy days what do you think about that thanks,
those things are endless money pits, now it's only 6 years old, it might not be falling
apart yet, if you want to buy one don't pay much for it, because their resale value is
horrible and they cost a fortune to repair, and I used to live in Toronto and I know how
much car repair costs in Canada, it's very expensive to get done there,
so you're going to pay a fortune fixing that thing, if you really want something for the
snow and ice in Canada, my advice is get a Subaru you'd be better off than buying that
Audi, the Subarus hold up a lot better than the audis do, especially if you get a manual
transmission subaru, lick says what do you think about a nissan
frontier 4 cylinder 5 speed, it has body damage I put new tires on it but it needs suspension,
is it worth putting money into, it depends, if it's got not too many miles, you know if
it's got 250,000 miles I wouldn't waste my money throwing it in, but for a truck that
might be nice little knock around pickup stuff, drive it around, if it's not your only mode
of transportation, like my son I got him an old toyota tacoma and I sent it to him in
Boston and that's his knock around truck he probably drives that thing 800 miles a year,
he uses it to pick up stuff with, something like that, yeah fix it and drive around it
can last a lifetime you never know, so if you never want to miss another one of
my new car repair videos, remember to ring that bell!
