rev up your engines, NCR emergency roadside service, Scotty you're the only
youtuber with a large following that doesn't have sponsors, good on you thanks
for your brutal honesty, the world needs it, I like helping people out, I'm like
everyone else, I hate being screwed over, go back 40
years ago when I buy something and I got screwed over, I could complain to a few
people and that's it, and that makes me mad like, these evil people made this
junk and how can I get even, well now I can get really even, I can talk about
the junk that people make and how not to buy it, every day in my email I get
scores of people that say, hey Scotty what do you charge, we want you we want
to sponsor your video for our product blah blah blah, and I got a form letter
that I typed up that I just cut and pasted, it says hey I don't do
sponsorships, I just try stuff out and I say if you want to send me a case of your
stuff, I'll try it out I'll be honest about it, a lot of people send me
something right, and then in two weeks they say, are you making a video on it
yet oh you're making a video on it yet, and I have to say, I test these things out
LED headlight bulbs that goes in the car, well for that basically I want to drive
it around for at least a year, to see if that thing lasts a year, what if I put it
in and it looks great and then three weeks later this $80.00 bulb system breaks down
doesn't work anymore, I get to test all the stuff out and I love testing stuff out
especially new technology, I have a lot of fun with it and I get the honestly
test the stuff out and tell people the truth, because hey there are a lot of
good products out there, and there's a lot of bad products, and the only way
you can tell one from the other is trying them out over time, so if
anybody's watching that sent me stuff, don't worry I'm trying the stuff out, just worry
that if a year from now I don't talk about it, that means that it didn't pass
my test or somebody made a better mousetrap and that's what I'm talking
about, I'm presently testing out a bunch of these jumper boxs, I can't wait to see
what the 3000 one does, it's for a very short period of time, I got to see if that
thing works and if it's got that kind of power, it's gonna be able to jumpstart
cars that's no problem at all, but a lot of these people claim stuff that doesn't
work, that's why I have to test the stuff out and that's why I don't do respond
sponsorships it's not right, if I played video games, I suppose I could do video game
sponsorship that would have no effect on me giving you car advice, but I don't play
video games, I don't have the time to waste on that
kind of stuff, I'm a good see man I got serious thing to do, I can't screw around
playing video you know, omar Christie says is an 86 Ford Ranger a good buy, five-speed
manual for 1,100 bucks, okay it's old as the hill, it's an 86, but those Ford
Rangers were good pickup trucks, they could last a long time, 5-speed manual so you
know to worry about the automatic transmission going out, I would say drive
it and road test it, and if it roat tested good and it
runs and doesn't smoke out of the back, go right ahead
1100 bucks isn't much these days, and if it still runs good you can drive it and
everything on that vehicle is still available, you can fix the engine if it
goes out, you can do all kinds of things, Joe Saturday says how do you feel about
the 2019 Toyota Highlander reliability, well that's a question that in all
honesty I could not answer, because it's 2019 now and you asked a question about
reliability, only time will tell that, now if you go by past experience I got
customers with Highlanders that have 600,000 miles on them, original engine
original transmission and they still run pretty close to new, so they were really
well made, I'm assuming they're still making them that way
but I can't say now cuz it's 2019, you have to be honest, Michael s Howard says
here's a tip Scotty.
Ziploc bags are great for your electronics, a body bag
for them, it is a very good idea, if you make sure you get good ziploc bags that
seal right, you could put electronic stuff in them, make sure that it's dry
inside, but if you are gonna store any serious electronics in them, make sure
you put one of those desiccant bags in, you know when you buy electronics they
always come with little bags, well there's a reason, that's to keep it
dry inside, you're always throwing them away, get
a Ziploc bag and put all the desiccant bags in it and seal it up, then whenever you put
electronics and other ziploc bags, put a couple of those desiccant bags in,
because you don't want anything to build up, if there's any little bitty holes
where air gets in it can get worse, I knew a guy
that had a safe, and he put his money in bags in a safe and when he took it out
years later, all the money was all molded up
and some of them were almost unusable for $100 bills,
so you want to use desiccant too if you're gonna do that, Johnny V says hey scotty
you always give me something to consider changing my lifestyle thanks, well I'm old,
hey maybe I'm somewhat wise, so if I can pass
any information out that helps people out, you think everyone in their own
lives, bad mistakes you made that you wish you never made them, well you can't
get in a time machine at least not yet and go back and change them, you can use
your mistakes to teach people not to make the same mistake, and believe me I
listen to people when they tell me about mistakes they made, because I don't like
making mistakes if we can
share all the mistakes we made perhaps we can end up with perfect
people who don't make mistakes, so if you never want to miss another one of my new
car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
