rev up your engines bugatti became the first car
manufacturer to make a car that went over 300 miles an hour on a volkswagen
test track in germany yes it was a modified version I always need asterisks
or the stuff because it's always modified things when I went to a Formula
One race and they're trying to tell me that the gasoline and the oil they used
was 99% the same as the stuff you're buying your car's a bunch of nonsense
it's completely different stuff and they obviously modified this thing you go buy
one it's not gonna go over 300 miles an hour unless you haven't modified
I mean Bugattis been a company that hey they've always been on a verge of
bankruptcy forever it's one of these rich man toy things and now they're on
the top who knows they'll sell a handful of them now to
alter rich people want to go 300 miles an hour in a car I mean hey you can go
500 miles an hour you want just get in a commercial plane and fly
somewhere now of course you realize the Bugatti is now owned by Volkswagen
they obviously bought them for a feather in their cap though they can say that oh
they make the fastest car in the world that people can buy because you know
Volkswagen also owns Porsche and they came out with the Porsche super cars
that were almost a million bucks apiece and all the purists laughed and said you
can't sell 1,000 of those cars they had them all sold before they even had one
produced because there's that many rich people in the world these days everybody
else in the world it's like rich man's toys, sing says what's more
reliable Dodge or Ford, oh ford by a long stretch Dodge is their quality
that's been going downhill for ages there was I mean they went bankrupt and
then a Canadian holding company took it off Mercedes everything the smart ones
and then they sold the Fiat they're not very well made vehicles the Fords are
actually better made than they were a decade or two ago they've increased
their quality so it's a no-brainer the Fords are much better not specially the
trucks you want to get a big truck get a Ford truck come buy a Dodge truck too,
sure it says 2010 Dodge Challenger is it a good buy well I'm not a dodge fan by any
stretch of the imagination but their values dropped like a stone
so if it was in good shape you could get a good price on one the only problem is
people buy those thing with the big v8 engine they buy them
for a reason to drive like maniacs so they might have run that thing as they
used to say about horses they rode them hard and put them up wet it could be on
its last legs if you gonna buy one of those pay a guy like me to check it out
before you buy it he might say don't even touch it it's
falling apart but if he says it's in decent shape and you get a better price
on it go right ahead they can be fun just realize you got to
get it checked out by a really good mechanic cuz guys generally rag the heck
out of those things Justin says 1969 Mercedes 280 s
14,000 miles good buy or good buy or good bye I don't like
Mercedes that's an old Mercedes and those things were built like
tanks those things were strong vehicles now I don't know how they're gonna prove
it's only got 14,000 miles on it but if it really only is 14,000 miles and it
runs and shifts good what the heck they were built like tanks and if it's really
14,000 miles nothing's gonna be worn out yet but it's so old it's in the sixties
now on one hand Mercedes makes parts for all their cars so you can always get
parts for them they're gonna be some relatively expensive but that old a lot of
the rubber is gonna crack leak fluids it can
be a real pain in the butt but if it's really got 14,000 miles and they can prove it and
it's cheap enough it can be a fun weekend toy
don't buy that thing and think it's gonna be an everyday driver that isn't
it happen, Hunter Sutherland says my oil pressure like turns out when I brake on my
2004 Honda civic, check your oil if you're low on oil it's gonna slosh around
and it's is gonna drop if it's not change the oil pressure sending unit there real
easy and keep doing that car you can go to like autozone that would sell you the
unit probably cost you 15 bucks or something they can show you where it
is and if you don't have the tool that fits they can sell you a little socket
and change it pray that fixes it because it doesn't fix it and you're full of oil
it means that you got an internal problem the oil pumps wearing out or
your engines worn the bearings are worn and the pressure gets low when you stop
and the engine starts idling long but a lot of times it's just the oil pressure
sending unit or you're low on oil Maryellen says what are your
thoughts about mobile mechanic services like wrench
I learned to fix cars at a corner Texaco gas station my grandfather was a
master mechanic my father ran the station I started my own business years later
and Houston I started as a mobile mechanic with just me and I went around
fix people's cars but after I like ten years I had to stop doing mobile stuff
because the cars are getting so complicated I would have to have so
much equipment to carry with me like if your air conditioning system you'd have to
have a recycling system that you'd have to carry with you because you can't make
the refrigerant vent to the atmosphere so it was a pain and I stopped doing it,
if guy's gonna do brake jobs things like that yeah but it's very hard to get
really full-service stuff on the road anymore so I'm kind of leery about him
today cuz there's so many things you can't have the equipment for I mean I
got a lot of stuff here that runs on 120 240 volts anybody if they really had a
big giant truck like a big van and had all the tools in them they're asking for
cuz anytime they park it somewhere people are gonna break in and steal all
their tools here I got burgle arms cameras and guns so I don't have to
worry about people ripping me off but if I was driving a big truck with a lot of
equipment on it I have to worry about that so not to have any really good guys
are gonna put all their money and then do mobile stuff these days, so if
you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember
to ring that bell
