rev up your engines, see Griff says hey Scotty how come car
makers these days have low quality, call it capitalism, they want to make a
profit, they cut everything they possibly can to make a profit, now they
pay the mechanics at the dealerships less, they're paying the people who make
the cars less, then they found out hey if we make the cars cheaper we can make
more profit, now if you notice the price of the cars hasn't come down their getting
more and more and more expensive as time
goes on right, but they're making them cheaper so they can sell them higher
make more profit that's unfortunately and like plastic they lie and say, we is
plastic because it weighs, less well I mean the weight differential isn't that
much to make that much difference, you take an intake manifold on a car, if it's
made out of cast aluminum it wastes so much, if it's made out of plastic it
weighs a tiny bit less, but the plastic has to be so thick so that it doesn't
warp then it doesn't weigh all that much less, but it's so much cheaper to make a
plastic intake manifold then making a metal one and have to polish and cast it,
they just have injection molding and that's why they're making them cheaper,
kaz say hey Scotty I own a 2016 chrysler town and country, and a 2012
nissan frontier am i in trouble, well probably with the town and country but
here's the thing, I always tell people the truth about stuff, you already
own them right you got them, their resale value is nothing, and if they run okay just
keep driving it till the wheels fall off it's my whole philosophy with anything, if
somebody's got a car it's like people often say to
me, hey Scotty I got this bad Chrysler yeah I want to get rid of it too much
money, and I say you owe too much money, you're gonna lose so much money get rid of it
you might as well just try to drive the thing as long as you can, cuz if you
gotta get rid of a car and you're gonna lose five to ten thousand dollars, you
might as well just drive the thing and then just never buy another one, learn from
your mistake by Toyota next time, but if you have them and like with the Nissan
Frontier, some of those frontiers especially the 4-cylinder ones can last
quite some time, you just take care of it you got them you might as well take care
of them and drive them, but like with the Chrysler
if the transmission goes out, then you just say whatever and get rid of the thing,
or if the transmission goes out, maybe put a used one in and then sell
it, because if you try to sell it with a broken transmission you'll get
absolutely nothing, art navy says Scotty what's the best brand spray-on
wax for newer paint jobs I don't believe in spray-on waxes,
they don't work as good, you want to wax a car, I believe in getting a hard wax
that's in one of those tins, you get an applicator,
you wash the car and dry it first, then you put it in the shade, and then you wax
the car a bit at a time and when it gets hazy you'll wipe it off with a
microfiber towel, that is the best thing to do,
the spray-on ones are garbage really, and if you don't want to do that,
go to place the detail shop that does it and take my advice, if they're not using
the can, give them a can of the stuff and say use this to wax my car, they don't
care they'll use your can it's less material for them to use, erb erb says
hey scotty what's a good cabin air filter for 2016
f-150, ok if you really like cabin air filters to filter, get the ones that have
activated carbon in them the charcoal you'll see that they're blacker, a little
tint it a little bit black, there's a lot of companies that sell them, my advice is
go online and look at them because at the auto parts stores they rip you off,
I've seen them that they want 20 something bucks and you go online and you
can get them for nine, just go to Amazon and put activated
carbon air filters and then look at it and read the reviews, that's what I always
tell people to do, because you know they certainly don't cost much to make, those
things probably cost fifteen cents to make, but the activated charcoal and
carbon ones they do work a lot better, do a little research on Amazon and buy them
because at the stores those are impulse buys and they always rip you off
your better off buying that online, hey Scotty what are your thoughts on Chinese
car brands, as that joke used to go, it fell apart like a Chinese motorcycle
well they make them in pretty new factories, and from what I can read they
make some decent cars, now they bought the English mg brand, I mean when they first
came out they had a little problems, but they make
them for a while and people say that they're actually decent sports cars now, in the
United States you can't buy them, you can buy them in other places but not in the
United States, I imagine they'll start importing
them in the United States at some point in time,
unless Donald Trump tries to block them or something, and I've got fans overseas
that buy them in other countries and they are saying they're pretty happy
with them so, since there are newer factories who knows they could be making
them perfectly fine you know, they don't sell them here yet, if they start selling
them here, yeah I'll try them out and see what they're like over here, but
they don't sell them here yet in the United States, so
