rev up your engines, Mario says how did you land such a hot wife Scotty,
well hey you ever seen the picture of me on James Dean's grave that was taken
when I was going to graduate school at the university llinois, I was decent
looking back then and I'm a personality and my wife liked that, she knew about me
because she's three years younger than me and she lived six houses down the
street from me, so she always saw hey he's this guy riding back and forth his
motorcycle all the time, I wonder about him, so she thought it would be
intriguing to go out with me, so she did we ended up getting married, women like
things that are intriguing they also like things that are good-looking and a
lot of women do like riding around on motorcycles even though they don't
really, that scares them but they find it interesting and if you survive it well
even more that it's interesting and you survived,
Keith Andre says what do you think of a Nissan GT R okay I'm not a Nissan fan
since they merged with Renault, but the GT R is an interesting design you know I mean they
are fun to drive around and they're very expensive to fix as they break and most
guys beat the heck out of them so they do wear out and buying a used one it's a
real big chancy thing, so if you're gonna buy one of those things you really got
to have it checked out with a fine-tooth comb before you throw your money out
but they are fun to drive around in, they put on some interesting technology, really
when it was Datsun they made the first reliable dependable sports car of all
time with that 240 when they came out with the Datsun 240, it was a sports car that went quick
and didn't break and didn't leak oil and it amazed people when it first came out
it's just that now the quality's just getting kind of meh, it isn't what it used to b,e
the beast 22 says Scotty what do you think of the 1999 Chevy Camaro with the v6
3800 it has 200,000 miles but it drives nice, okay it's a v6 and it's got 200,000
miles on it, now if you're gonna buy that thing, of course you need to have a guy
like me check it out, cuz it's a sports car somebody might have beaten heck out
of it, but the 3,800 engine is really a decent engine that GM built they can
last a really long time, they're well made engines, it's a 20 year old Chevy
and it's got 200,000 miles on it, so don't give too much money for it, that'll never
be a collector's item, it's got a v6 engine the v8s were the more popular
ones, and if you can get it cheap and it runs
good now, what the heck you can have a fun little toy to play around and just don't
you know think, oh I'm gonna put a blower and turbocharger or supercharger on it
make it go faster, be happy with what it has and drive it the way that it is if you
like it, Ben 3 says what do you think of the 1.6 Geo Prizm realize that a Geo
Prizm it's pretty much the toyota corolla and those things can run a
really long time, the Geo Metro they were junk, they were that three
cylinder engines, the Geo Prizm was made with Toyota Corolla engines,
transmissions, brakes and it can run just as long as the total Corolla so, you buy
a use one in decent shape they can be a great beater car for driving around
in, August angel says my in-laws 94 Saturn SL 1.9 the motor jumps when it's
in gear, I changed all four mounts because they were bad, but it's jumping
like the mounts are bad, it jumps when it's in gear and you changed all the mounts
you make sure you got them all changed and it still jumps that means there's
only two things that can do that, one is the cv joints are worn and when you put
it in gear, they get loaded and then they clunk clunk and the other is the transmission
itself was wearing out, and I know those Saturn's and I bet 99% that it's the
transmission starting to go out, those had horrible transmissions in the things
and they cost so much money to rebuild and every time I had a customer with a
saturn and the transmission went out, no one ever fixed them because I said, okay I don't
rebuild them but let me check it, yeah definitely it's shot, and then I call up
my transmission guys and they say how much money it costs to fix and it was
always two to three times what the vehicle is worth and they junk it, they
never fixed it, because they were so complicated it cost so much to fix and
they broke all the time, so odds are it's the transmission going out, Shelley
Thomas says is there anything I can do about the melting dashboard in my 2010 Altima
Coupe ok, yeah like I say Nissan make these days you got a melting
dashboard, they can't even make plastics that can take the heat you know, you can always go
to a junkyard and buy used one, of course it's gonna melt too cuz they're all
cheaply made, there are companies that sell those dashboard covers and some of
them even have molded copies, that you just take the mold that they sell you
and it glues over the top your old one, I did that with my old 81
Toyota Corolla sr5 and it didn't look bad, it just glued right over the top of
the one cuz the old one got all warped and cracked, so if you don't mind stick that on and see
those are aftermarket so they're not gonna melt like the original one cuz they're
made out of better plastic the one that I put on that Corolla, it was 12 years later
it still wasn't cracked it was made out of better plastic, so if you never want
to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
