rev up your engines, Adam Darby says have you had any
negative health effects from handling oils, cleaners and solvents over the
years, no because if you notice a lot of times when I'm seriously working and not
just making videos, I wear these rubber gloves and my wife got me them decades
ago cuz I used to work on a lot of Mercedes diesels and in the winter I
couldn't get the diesel black off my hands, and she didn't want me touching her
with dirty hands, so she bought me them for a
Christmas joke present, well it didn't turn out to be much of a joke it's great
I use them all the time, and if you notice I work outside and if you also
notice, I have that giant Big Tex humongous fan, well it blows the smell
away, so whenever I'm using solvents and stuff, I stand upwind and the fan blows
all the smells downwind and they dissipate in the atmosphere, so if you're
working inside a sealed atmosphere yes you have to worry about that, but I work
outside and I'm blowing the stuff away so that's something that you really want
to think about, I mean I knew it got years ago, he ran body shop and his son
worked there, and the son I'm watching him clean his hands, and he had a big
drum of lacquer thinner that they used when they painted cars, he just took the
top off, he stuck his hands in and he cleaned his hands and took them
out, well one is messing with the thinner but two, your skin is absorbing all
that thinner, I don't know the guy probably ended up dying from pancreatic
cancer something from all that stuff going in so, you want to be careful around
solvents, royal c says what do you think about Buying a used VW touareg with 40,000
miles on it, well if you can get it for practically nothing go ahead, but those
vw touareg are one of the highest maintenance cars in the world,
it's basically you know it's got the same engine in it most of them that the
Porsches have in them, you know Volkswagen owns porsche and they swap a
lot of technology back and forth, they are endless money pits as they age, but
they have said, now I have had customers buy used Volkswagens for practically
nothing, and they drove them for a couple of years and they were okay cars, because
they do handle great there's no arguing that, they're fun to drive around, but
don't ever pay much money for one because they're endless money pits as
they age, and their resale value goes like a stone, so keep that in mind, jamie
says my rocker panels under my car door are all rotten out, how
can I fix those things on the cheap, once
those rocker panels start rusting they're garbage, don't believe any of these
nonsense YouTube videos, where guys show you fix rust with bondo and sand it off
and then put some bondo on it and then paint it, a bunch of nonsense you
can cover it up, and if you're gonna sell the car and you're really good at
painting, yeah you might fool somebody for a while, but that rust is gonna come
right out, water is still gonna get inside and
it's gonna rust and the bond is gonna fall off too, the only way you can fix rust is
by cutting the old stuff out, welding the new
metal on, and then paint it, priming it, and paint it that's it, so you know if
you want to mess around with bondo buy $12 of bondo and try paint and stuff
it's a lot of work to get it done right and it won't last believe me, I've seen
people try, when I was a kid of course I tried and of course it always just
come back through in a year or two and looked horrible again so, third girl
Scotty I've been using PB Blaster on my hinges it's just not working, I need a
different spray, boy there's all kinds of sprays out there, that's why I check all
those things out, you know if you watch that video I just made on how to make
your tools last forever, it's a new spray that's out there that seems to work
better than the other ones, the PB Blaster, they've been advertising kind of
secretly for years, and oh this is the secret this and works better than any
others, and I tried it but you know it didn't seem to work any better than the
other ones, and in your case it's not even working on the hinges so, you know I
can't believe advertising, you could only believe the experience that you see with
the own eyes, do with your own hands, and then try stuff out and see what works, and
in that respect, hey all you viewers out there, hey tell me about the silicone
sprays or penetrating sprays that you've had the best results with, then I'll try
some of those out too, cuz I'm always open-minded, I can find something that
works better I'll buy it i've got no qualms, nobody's got their hooks in me, if
something's better I'll buy it, use it, and tell people about it
Canty one two three says they said you can get to Narnia through Scotty's
garage, well maybe you can you know it's a magical place that's why I don't want
it to change, I'm comfortable there you know, I gotta admit yeah I'm kind of a
hoarder there's stuff all over the place, but you don't believe stuff that
sometimes years later I need something, sure enough
under all that junk, yeah I remember I put it a box somewhere, I go in and get
it and there it is, there's really a sense of accomplishment when there's
something that you can use to fix something it's been sitting there all
those years you know, so I am totally, totally anti planned
obsolescence society, so if I have something that works, I don't want to
throw it away, I want to keep it, even if it's only a Scotty Museum when I'm gone
people can say here's, Scotty's garage, here's tools he used to fix stuff with you
know although my wife says when I
conk out she's just gonna open the garage and put up a sign, free tools
anybody that wants them can come get them she probably will do that too, but I
don't know my great-grandfather conked out when he was 95 and I'm in better
shape than him, so could be a long time could be a long time, so if you never
want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that
Bell!
