rev up your engines
Ford announces they're gonna be making the Ford Mustang Mach E now it's not an
actual Mustang it's gonna be an SUV it's gonna start at forty three thousand
eight hundred ninety five dollars now first thing you realize this is still
future thinking a late 2020 model from what they say the absolute cheapest one
they make isn't gonna be able to be purchased by the public until spring of
2021 so we're still talking a little bit in the future it's gonna be an
all-electric vehicle they're using the name Mustang as far as I'm concerned
that's kind of a cheat it's not a car it's an SUV now I've seen the pictures
and when you look at the back if you're right behind it yes definitely looks
like a Mustang with the designer stuff but it's not a Mustang Mustang it's an
SUV realize that it's coming in like five different varieties you're gonna
have quite a bit of choice of which one you can get if you want you can get the
normal one or you can go all the way to their fancy GT version now the GT
version suppose is gonna start at sixty thousand five hundred and the fanciest
version of that is gonna go zero to sixty in about three seconds which is
extremely fast and they're going to have of course just like all the other ones a
variety of batteries you can buy lower priced ones will have a smaller battery
they'll have less range and of course it's like anything else here you're
gonna have to make a lot of decisions do you want the really fast one which of
course is going to lower the range of how fire can go or do you want one that
has the longer range you got to think about the stuff when you're buying an
electric car once you buy it that's what you have you can't change your mind that
the main problem with electric batteries and motors in vehicles are they're
pretty good at low speeds they're actually quite efficient but the faster
they go the less efficient they are and when it comes to charging you can get a
hundred and twenty or a 240 volt charger that you can plug into your house you
can get a fancy faster charger that you can buy in for it I guess is having some
setup with Amazon will be able to buy installation with Amazon home
services if you're putting a real fast charger they're not giving the exact
figures now but if you plug any modern electric car into your hundred and
twenty volts on your house it's gonna take a long time to charge it up I've
seen some of them that if you do that it's gonna take two days or something to
fully charge it so realize you buy one of these you probably want to have to
buy the expensive charging setup that they're gonna sell through Amazon and
let people be able to install it to you because most people hey they're not
gonna be messing with high amperage to 40 or 400 volt system so you know
there's no do-it-yourself job the top top of the line the GT performance one
is gonna have four hundred and fifty nine total horsepower which is instance
soon as you turn it on they go so it will be a very fast that's you read
there's no arguing that the lowest price one they say isn't going to even be
available till the spring of 2021 so you're still gonna be waiting a while
for these things they're putting all this information out there but you can't
buy them yet at least now if you're watching this video in the future sure
maybe they'll be out there and then I'll have some more videos about them
buick says Scotty what do you think of buick using an upcoming Turbo
three-cylinder engine in a small car GX SUV
alright I don't think much of that a lot of companies have messed around with
three cylinder engines in the past and in the present and their small engines
you are straining a small three cylinder engine to pull an SUV around and some of
your even straining when you got a four-cylinder engine I know they can get
power out of them by putting on turbochargers and GDI injection and all
that stuff but they're not gonna hold up over time they're gonna wear out faster
Ford had some of the three cylinders they try it on stuff and they had a lot
of problems with the engines going out because they're just not strong enough I
know the Europeans have been using three cylinder engines for quite a while and
things and it's okay if you got a little putt-putt thing that you're just putting
around in but you take it on a highway you stress the accelerating sixty five
passing people that little three cylinder engines just gonna wear out
I've seen it in the past those Geo Metro they had three cylinder
engines and if you strained them they were garbage and the engines wore out so
I'm not a fan of that three cylinder engine stop 2016 fusion says Scotty I
got a 2016 Ford Fusion hence the name obviously with 18,500 miles why didn't
know what are your thoughts will last many many years well you want to baby it
because those have weak automatic transmissions I'm assuming you have an
automatic they did happen with manuals but they didn't sell to me I'm assuming
you got an automatic transmission that is the one that has problems with the
automatic transmissions now you've got very low mileage yeah you probably
haven't any problems yet you want a baby that transmission you want to change the
fluid in it on that thing I would make a point to change the fluid every 30,000
miles and I would also keep an eye on a Ford has any recall for these
or if you got a problem we're gonna fix the transmission free watch all that
information closely because they did have problems with a lot of the
automatic transmissions and that year and newer the first ones that they made
were actually much better fusion was the one that they made in conjunction with
Volvo and Ford owned part of olive oil now Chinese on it so that's all gone but
the later ones like that a lot of man automatic transmission probs you own it
baby it you never know, if you're the type of guy that peels
out rubber and stuff get a different vehicle it's gonna wear out but if you
drive conservatively you know my customers with those that drive
conservatively they've still got some decent stuff on it but the guys are
driving hard yeah they've all had transmission problems
Betty gentleman says Scotty is it really required to remove the dust that gets on
the car paint in between washing and waxing the problem with dust is if you
wipe it or rob it, it can create friction that will scratch your paint and even a
little towel and stuff on dust it can create micro scratches so people clean
them I mean their cars gonna look dirty anyways you know if it's covered in dust you
gotta wash the thing but that's why they always tell you and it is the truth if
you're washing a car get a hose and you want to soak the whole car with
high-pressure water cuz you want to blow a lot of the dust off then once it's wet
you get a nice I like the ones that made out of wool soft they don't scratch
and they make special ones just for cleaning no one ever touched it you just
drove it around you know the dust and the self has got anything sitting there
but I mean it's gonna look dirty we live in a dirty dusty world I remember years
ago I did a shoot with this Shelby Cobra gt500 and they brought it to me or
straight from being hand washed and I started doing shoots and within two
hours it looked dirty when I got closer looked at it some thoughts comes fast
you can't be a fanatic but you don't want to clean it off every once in a
while you don't want to wipe it and it's patchy like here used to once in a while
we get this Mexican volcanic dust it comes to Mexican volcanoes that pumice
is highly caustic to the paint so that you don't want to ever wipe it off you
want to hose that off first to get it all off so it doesn't scratch your paint
kylie peterson says could having fuel contaminated with the water caused my
exhaust to smoke white smoke well sure of course it can when you burn water
vapor inside an engine what does it create steam which is white you want to
pray that's what it is not a blown head gasket but the water in a gasoline it'll
get in there and it'll burn like that now I have the perfect test I've got
that video how to tell if your head gasket is blown you get a little kit for
amazon cost you about 30 bucks doesn't matter if you got water in your gas that
won't affect that test if that test comes out positive that means your head
gasket is blowing because you're getting exhaust gas into the radiator and that
is nothing to do with water you can't do that test if you're worried because that
test is 100% accurate and that'll tell you and if it shows that your head
gaskets blowing you might think about getting another vehicle rather than
tearing that Honda engine apart they are not cheap to fix or if you're gambling
you might try something that bars head gasket seal sometimes that
works okay if it still runs good and it's just started to blow some of the
seals between the water and the piston so it could burn a little bit of water
but it's not affecting the actual compression ratio all that much that's
when the sealers work if you've got oil mixed with water in your radiator or
water mixed with oil in your engine then the head gaskets too far gone no
sealers gonna fix that cars 98 says would you get a Lexus with a v8 no not their v8
ones I mean they make excellent cars a very good engines but they're much
higher maintenance vehicles give you a perfect example if
the starter goes beyond one of those you got to take the intake off and it can
cost you over a thousand dollars you change the starter on my wife's Lexus
that's an es 300 with the v6 I could change the starter out in about 20
minutes it's not that big of a deal you just have to take the air box out of the
way nor all there unbolted take it out and put it in it's a pretty simple deal
and the rest of the vehicle is that way too with a v8s have higher end parts
cost more they are just harder to work now if you don't care about the price
and you're buying a brand new one you're not gonna have to worry about this stuff
probably till they get 150,000 more miles and if you're happy with that go
right ahead but me I like keeping them forever so I like the v6 it has
plenty of power you don't need to get a v8 the v6's have plenty of power in
modern cars and anyways the way that manufacturers going these days they'll
probably end up mainly giving up with v8s and going to v6 is because better
gas mileage didn't get the same power just about out of the modern v6
anyway, so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos
