rev up your engines, bot says hello, is it worth it to use your car for
uber or lyft to make money or is it wear and tear on your vehicle, it's a lot of
wear and tear on your vehicle, and it depends on how hard you want to go into
uber or lift to make serious money, cuz I use them all the time, flying around the
country, I don't drive anywhere I flying and I take ubers to the airport and
back and total hotels and to meetings or whatever, and I talk to some a lot of
uber drivers and I got customers here in Houston I work on the their cars that drive
ubers if you're a serious uber driver and you're
gonna put in a lot of time, go to places where you can make money and you got a good
personality people will tip you, you can make a reason to amount of money, but
you're just kind of doing it and thinking I want to try it, I talked to
people that did that and they told me that basically they were making less
than minimum wage when they included the wear and tear, the insurance, the money
they spent on gasoline, cuz you got to do it full-time to make any serious money,
and if you're only gonna do it a little you're not gonna make that much money on
it, you're probably gonna put more wear and tear on your car than you're ever
gonna get back from the little bit of money that you make, because it's just
not that profitable the thing unless you do it full-time iand really hustle, Yoji says
you should respond to more of the comments people leave you try, try hey
I'm ready working all the time, when I started doing as 10 years ago on YouTube,
well more than 10 now, 12 years ago now, I actually
answered every single question that people ask me, I spent a lot of time
actually I spend more time, now but I did answer any every question that people
ask me, but I now have over 450 million views, there's no way I could possibly react
to all those comments, that's why I do these
live car talks, so people get a chance to ask a question and have me answer it
live, I mean there's only one me and there's only 24 hours a day, so I can't
answer them all, it's physically and mentally impossible, Rick ap says will Mazdas
rotor engine ever make a comeback, well I kind of doubt it, it's already made a
couple of comebacks and they both failed,
the problem with rotary engines is their small and they put out a lot of power and
they can burn just about anything, I remember
when they first came out somebody ran one on
perfume, they can run on just about anything, but they get terrible gas
mileage and because of their design, they have like a triangular rotor system, so
the edge of each of the three triangle ends, the edges have rotor seals on them and
those apex seals go bad and they end up burning oil, so I doubt if it will ever
make a comeback, they were very hard to meet the anti pollution standards, they get
horrible gas mileage, everything that the governments are looking for they don't
do so, just says scotty I'm thinking about buying my mom a 72 Nova, what's
your thought on that car, here's the thing if
it's been done over and it's been restored, hey they were very reliable
cars in those days, they were nothing like the later Chevy Nova that was just
a rebadged Toyota Corolla that could run forever, but it was in the car that was
big for families and stuff like a nova that had room, the only thing you got it
realize is, okay if your mother's older she wants power steering and power brakes
make sure it has that on it, if it's been done over and
it's got power everything, go right ahead, hey their big cars if she puts a
seatbelt on it's a relatively safe car for driving around,
Sikorski says scotty I'm having problems with my 2002 Grand Prix Pontiac, the ABS light
is on and when I check it with a scan tool it shows
not available for all wheel sensors, it's
like the sensors are bad or the module it's not gonna say na, if the real
sensors are bad it will give you codes for the wheel sensors, it's saying
there's no data available, scan tools that do abs are relatively high level
scan tools, if you've got a cheaper scan tool, odds are the scan tool probably
just isn't working right, because I see that all the time,
I have probably 50 different scan tools here, I get them free from companies they
hope I use in my videos, and sometimes I gotta go through three or four of the
cheaper ones before I get one that'll read ABS data, where if i plug in my
$5,500 one, it immediately reads them, so you might just out of curiosity pay a guy
like me that has good equipment just to see what's going on with it, it could
just be that your scan tool isn't reading it, now if it's correct and
there's no data, odds are the module is going bad, Kowalski says
Scotty I want to buy an old Russian Lada what do you think, well it depends where
you live, they never sold them in the United States, so you'd have
one heck of a time trying to get parts for that lada, you know good luck in
finding parts for that lada, but they sold them in Canada and they can have some
parts, and if you live in Europe a lot of people sell parts for them, you know a lot
of people like those little cars they're
for cheap transportation they seem to be ok
they still make them some other company bought them, I think they might even be owned
by Renault now, but the old one seemed to be
pretty reliable from what people tell me so if you never want to miss another one
of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
