Rev up your engines, goodman says, don't you like subaru outbacks
you never talk about them, I don't like subarus for a couple of reasons, anybody who watches
me a lot knows, one they have a boxer engine that's an old fashioned design and they have
a tendency to blow head gaskets, and they have very weak automatic transmissions, I
rented an outback a couple years ago when we went to the great southwest utah and arizona
it was beautiful, this was a subaru outback and the thing had 7,000 miles on it, I could
already feel the transmission starting to go out and shift poorly, to me that's bad,
I'd never buy one, now some people love them, but mainly the people that love them they
got a 4 cylinder not a 6 and they got a manual transmission they didn't get an automatic,
and the cvt transmissions that a lot of the new ones have, their even worse, I'd never
buy one like that, I don't talk about stuff when I don't like them unless people ask,
boaty says 2008 jeep wrangler is it a good long lasting vehicle, it has 100k miles, no
that's generally when they start falling apart, it's 12 years old and it's got 100k miles,
you don't pay much for those things, now on the other hand, I've had customers buy vehicles
like that in the past, and they'd buy them from somebody who was hard up for money and
they'd give them $1k and they'd keep them for 3-4 years and they'd spend a little money
repairing it as it broke but for the money they paid what the heck, if you get them cheap
enough go ahead, but don't pay much for them, cuz their money pits as they age that's just
the way that they are, demon says 2011 audi a8l for $16k with 117k miles, is it a good
deal, well it's a good deal for the guy selling it to you if you can get that kind of money
for those junkers, those things are the biggest money pits on the planet, those 8 cylinder
audis, and since it's 9 years old and has 117k miles on it, that thing is going to be
a money pit, stay away from it if you value your money, if you want to get an audi, get
a 4 cylinder one non turbo and at least they might last a while, buy those v8's man they
are just money pits as they age, goodman says was the tucker really a viable car, tucker
was that guy who after ww2 tired to build this car that had an engine that was in the
back, basically he didn't have enough money to back it up, it was an interesting design
and it had some revolutionary stuff in it, but it cost a lot of money to build a car
even back then from scratch, and then market it out to people, I'll give you an example,
years ago I went out to california to look at these Elios, now the Elio were, they guy's
name was Elio and they guy was planning on making these 3 wheeled cars and he even was
renting the old factory that hummer had, to date and this is like 4 years later, he still
hasn't build a single one, he made a few prototypes with junkyard parts that he got with a old
geo metro engine, I mean he's never produced any in the factory and I doubt if he ever
will produce it, cuz he found out how much money it costs to actually make a production
line that can build 100k cars or more a year, it might have been a good car but it's past
it's prime, but today to actually put a car on the market it costs so much money, nobody
is going to bankroll anybody for that, Musk is a billionaire and he's even having hassles
with that trying to keep the thing going, and now he's making a factory in China so
he can make them cheaper so even he realized that, arthur says my 05 grand marquis blower
on the ac, I noticed a clicking sound and the lights on the ac are going off, now the
blower isn't working, first thing you want to do is, blower motors go out all the time
and their so simple to check, all you got to do a lot of times if it's under your glove
box is kick it, and if you kick it and it starts going you know the blower is going
out, now if that doesn't work you can just take the little plastic stuff of that's under
the glove box and get to where the connector is that goes to the blower it unclips, there's
two wires, one is positive and one is negative, it doesn't matter which way you put it to
test it, put power to one and ground to the other, if it starts spinning it's working
and if it doesn't spin replace the motor, that's the most common thing, I change them
out all the time, luca says I get a squeaking sound when I roll up my electric windows,
is it a rubber part or worse and how do I fix it, the first thing you want to do is,
get a can of spray silicone lube, roll the window down, when you roll it down you'll
notice on the front where the window goes up and on the back, there's the rubber runners,
spray silicone lube in those for like 5-10 seconds, then run it up in the air, then run
it down again, the spray it again and run it up and down, then wipe any stuff off, if
it goes away great, now if it doesn't go away, then it's inside the motor or the linkage,
then you can take the inner door panel out if you want to go that far, and get some spray
lithium grease and spray all the main points and usually the noise will go away then, if
it doesn't then it means you need a new motor and you'd replace the motor,
so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring
that bell
