rev up your engines, Martin Sue says, Scotty I'm looking for my
first car, would a Lexus from the 90s or 2000 be a good choice what should I look
for and how can I get the cheapest insurance rate, okay well Lexus makes great cars, my
my wife's got 2002 ES300 I bought for 4 grand with 60,000 miles best car we ever
had, if you can find one like that they're very hard to find,
go ahead by one, now what you want to do is, buy a four-cylinder one because
the rates, the insurance rates in the United States especially in Texas, they
go by engine size, you get a four-cylinder with a smaller engine the
rates are gonna be cheaper, and you don't want to go for a sports car because the
rates are higher, so get a four-door the insurance rates are cheaper on a
4-door then they will be on a sports one, and just you know look around the price
they're very good cars, and the lower the engine the more sedan ish, you're gonna
get lower insurance rates, that's just how that works
Taleen Soul, says I got a 99 Chevy Cavalier it always overheats when I
Drive it over 60 miles an hour, nobody can figure out why, well the mechanics
you're going to are idiots, there's only really a few reasons that can overheat
when you go over a certain speed, one is if your head gasket is starting to
wear, the faster you go it builds up too much heat, I've got a video for that, how
to tell if your head gasket is blown, you can do that test and if it's starting to
blow, the liquid in the test will turn from blue to yellow, then you know it's blown head
gasket, if it's not that, you've probably got a bad radiator, the radiator
dissipates heat, if you got an older radiator when your engine goes faster
and faster and faster, it builds up so much heat that a worn-out radiator can't
dissipate the heat, now how you can test that is, you watch your temperature gauge
you go over 60 and it gets high, quick turn your heater on full blast
then the heater is dissipating heat, now summer so it's hot, roll the windows down
so you don't melt yourself, but if you find your turn to heater on then the
temperature starts to go back to normal, you need a new radiator, that's a very
good way of testing that, it's how I test it when I'm working on them,
Brandon says Scotty, my father has an O7 BMW X3, when you're going at a high
speed and you slow down it will stall, I replaced the air filter less than
two thousand miles, do you know why thanks, okay well mainly it's a 12 year
old BMW and they fall apart when they age, but if your going fast and you slow down and it
stalls, it's got a problem in the idling system, and sometimes it's a very simple
thing you just need to clean it, I have a very good video, how to fix your car with
a little spray cleaner, you buy two bottles of the spray cleaner and it costs you
like 14 bucks, follow the directions, it shows you how to clean it, and it'll
probably fix your problem, because it's normally the throtte's got gunk on or
the mass sensors got gunk on it, and that shows how to clean them, the spray cleaners are
gonna cost you maybe 14 bucks and you can do it yourself, if that doesn't fix
it, it is a BMW and there's all kinds of sensors that could go wrong, then you'd have to
go to a BMW mechanic, charge you a ton of money, because that's how BMW mechanics are
but doing the spray cleaner stuff, a lot of times it will fix them, that one gamer
says, my 90 Mustang has a problem with battery consumption, if we leave it
connected overnight it will be dead in the morning any tipsm sure watch my video
fixing battery drain in your carm you got a battery drain somewhere and you can
check it yourself it's a very simple thing, you basically take off the
negative battery terminal, you connect it with a little meter and you watch it, the
meter shows there's a drain, you pull out the fuses in your fuse box one at a
time and when the drain goes down, you know that particular fuse, whatever it's
running has a short in the system, and if it's something you don't care about like
dome light, you can just leave the fuse out, you don't have to, but if you want to
fix it then you have to trace that whole system whatever that fuse runs to find
out where the drain is, it's pretty simple thing to do on an older car like
that, so if you never want to miss another one
