Scotty I'm not saying your wrong because you're not but what I will say is all cars have problems. Now one thing that all cars these days have is electronics and I'm sure you'll agree they are under engineered and need to be worked on more than they should be. However cars with combustion engines and transmissions have that to be worked on and the electronics as well so it's a double whammy of junk where as electric cars are primarily just that so it's hard to say which one is better. I own both, everything from an 03 suburban to a VW TDI and a model 3 and the one that cost the most money to own is the TDI because of maintenance expenses so I wouldn't say Tesla is the worst thing out there. Probably European cars with combustion engines are by far the most expensive in my book for recalls and maintenance. What's your thoughts?
Glad you’re still talking sense about Elon and his Teslas lmao. People seem to have lost their minds lmao. Imagine paying 12 grand for a driver assistance package that might try and kill you at any moment.
How to get a free car wash from Scotty:
1. Put 2 soapy mitts on Scotty's hands
2. Back your car up
3. Ask a question
It's a fact that people watch longer when the person speaking has animated hands. I think he knows this and is trying maybe a little too hard?
Is he Italian?
@@PaulThronson I actually find it endearing
Lmao
Hahaha
I mean, Scotty's not wrong. Tesla's have terrible build quality and materials and consistently rank amongst the least reliable car manufacturers. Can't argue with that.

you hit it right on the head with the sound deadening. 100% recommend this to anyone who loves their car.
Scotty, I usually agree with you but living here in Rural Northern California Starlink is the best option for us. It never has gone down and when PG & E shuts off the electricity, with generators, we still have internet! We are getting about 250 to 300 MBPS. Starlink, of course, is the only thing Tesla makes that we could ever afford!
LoL
Does your electric get shut off often?
Starlink was made for other ISP's and for corporations that require low latency like high frequency traders, that normally pay billions for simple real estate on deep sea cables.
Starlink is supposed to be the main money maker for spacex. Their entire mars project seems incredibly unprofitable, so it does make sense in a way.

A lot of the questions you get Scotty are for High mileage vehicles. The answer is your car is wearing out nothing lasts forever. Never a bad video on this channel, very Good.
Question so my ‘13 Hyundai Sonata 130,000 miles when starting cold idles very rough until it warms up. Any ideas as to what is causing it?
Hey scotty I have a 2008 ford focus. The spark plug blew out and I put a helicoil in and it blew out and had a nether one in and it still is able to come out if the spark plug is hot. My mechanic is telling me it's a weak cylinder head. Is this actually true. The ground strap has melted 3 times on spark plugs and only happens on the third cylinder
Scotty was so satisfied calling it "Station Wagons" 😂😂😂
Yes, Scotty does like station wagons. But what he likes more than station wagons is saying station wagons. He only managed to say "station wagons" 16 times in less than a minute, rivaling Allen Iverson's "practice" rant...
Scotty Kilmers was waving his hands around so much in this videos it looked like he was conducting an orchestra

Hi Scotty! I have an o6 2wd chev silverado purchased new. 4.3 v6. Been a great truck and i'm gonna keep it. Is there any new chevy pick up worth buying?
Question. I used to have a 2000 Toyota 4Runner Limited. I live in North Dakota and almost every winter I would have to replace the brake booster check valve because the brakes wouldn't work after a cold start when it's -10 or colder. I just purchased a 2022 4Runner Limited. Am I going to encounter that same problem when it's winter again?
Growing up, my parents always bought full sized Ford LTD & Country Squire Station Wagons. I have a '97 Subaru Legacy Outback Station Wagon & yes, I've fit full sheets of plywood in the back, w/ about a foot sticking out the rear hatch. I slide the plywood in on top of the rear strut mounts. 😲😲😲
I have owned 5 Subarus and loved how I could slide plywood, Sheetrock, etc. into the back end, with a short amount sticking out. The wheel covers in the back had flat surfaces that helped support the load. I don’t know of any car doing as well today. I quit buying them when to gate got too small for this. I have not looked at this for years so I may be out of date now.
Scotty said "plastic loses its plasticizers" and dammit he still sounded professional and correct
it is actually the correct industrial term...
Yep. Plasticizers are a real problem in these newer cars.
😂😂😂
Nearly 5m subs!! Well done 👏
Guy with 98 Chevy truck ,have you checked the kick down cable ? It can be worn or stretcher and that can cause your problem. Witch oil is for shade trees.
stick to your cars.
Starlink was never made to replace broadband but to help get internet to areas where broadband isn't accessible.
Sorry Scotty, my daughter and son in law have owned their Tesla model 3 for over two years now, every day my daughter drives about 180 kilometers round trip home to work in the city and back home to the mountains. The Tesla has performed faultlessly and has never been in for repairs of any type. They have had software"upgrades" delivered over the internet, it all gets done without any fuss.
Scotty confuses software updates with problems. They don't have mechanical problems. That's why he is on You Tube trying to get likes and Elon's a billionaire. Few mechanical recalls compared to other vehicles.
Okay that's only 2 or three years at most though. I can't imagine a Tesla lasting 10 years or more without needing serious repairs. Luckily they have a 120k mile warranty (last I checked, but I'm sure that varies). Scotty's main thing is getting the most for your money, and I just don't think you are doing that when you purchase a Tesla.
@@HookSettinHooligans if the car was made well, it shouldn't need updates. When your iphone or android updates, there are security patches along with the new software. Maybe that is what Tesla is doing, fixing security flaws...🤔
I hope the Tesla car isn't like the iPhone, it updates the software and everything starts to slow down and you will need an upgrade to a new car! 🤣
@@secretsquirrel6257 I’d look at consumer reports again..
@@secretsquirrel6257 the last software upgrade gave their Tesla battery more range. obviously a product development situation with capacity built in from new but changing with developing experience, I hardly see that as a problem.
Glad to see you recommend the BARS leak. The stuff works. Yeah, it is old school but it WORKS!!! IF the BARS will not fix it.....replacement time!!
My Dentist has issues with his 2022 Model S Long range, cannot open door and will not move, 4th attempt over the air in 3 months, it would fix and then comes back, Last Friday vehicle was taken by tesla on a Flat Bed Tow Truck, But NO LOANER VEHICLE either , has only 2300 Miles, Yes TESLA
As a kid, if your family didn't have a station wagon, they had a large 4 door sedan. In many respects the station wagon was the most PERFECT vehicle ever made. Bullet proof V8s and three speed automatics, great visibility, dad went to the lumber store and could put in a 4x8 sheet of plywood, floated down the highway and great cushy seats, fold away rear facing third row seats for the kids, rear window that opened and low loading floor. We had seat belts but never used them. Just a great all around vehicle and pwople really loved them. Pure Americana! Gosh I miss them, a lot. The KING of the station wagons. Some say the Chevy Caprice or Ford Grand Marquis but for my money it was the Buick Roadmaster! Must have weighed 7,000 pounds.
Nice trip to the past and TY 👌
Then they raised the load and ride height and called them SUVs. Most people don’t realize that today. Fuel economy suffered but you ride high and feel like somebody so Americans don’t care. Especially here in Texas.
I don’t see how a station wagon would be more perfect than a full sized truck like a 4-door Tacoma. You can move large stuff like fridges and washers, go off-road, fit 5 people comfortably, etc… a station wagon can do a lot but it’s not better than a truck.
@@Ray_Ray ehh what about the truck aspect? A chevy Tahoe is basically a Chevy Silverado with a roof.
@@805fillmore True
LoL
I got 310,000 miles on my 2001 Chevy Tahoe LS before the transmission went out. I spent $1300 to have it rebuilt and it ran better than new for another 30,000 miles until it met an untimely death in a head on collision with a adult deer.
I laughed too hard reading this
Oh deer. Sounds awful. Hope you're alright doe!
(I'll see myself out now)
I saw what you did deer
Hi Scotty, I been watching your video for a long time, I have a quick question for you.
Which one will you pick? 2021 Lexus IS350 Fsport or BMW M340I X Drive? and why?
Yup I put Lucas in my 97 jeep Cherokee transmission and it stopped slipping for almost a year. Had to rebuild it. But cherokees are worth keeping.

"oh these are good enough and $3.00..ill take them "😂

Hey Scotty, the oil gauge on the instrument panel, is it for pressure or temperature, I was told, that if it points closer to high, you have good oil pressure, but I have seen some point closer to low, which is best?
I have a question about my 2015 Chevy Sonic 118000 miles. When I stop at stop lights my car will die. Nothing wrong while driving it on freeway only when I stop . What could that be.
I always enjoy your videos. But I can say this every vehicle I have ever owned has been recalled at least once and usually more than once.
My 2014 Ford Fusion has 4 recalls 😳
2014 Lexus RX 350 -- 0 safety recalls.
Apparently I lucked into a really reliable car, even for the brand... I confess that I did zero research before buying it. It really was just pure luck.
Question Scotty: I have a 2007 Ford Focus that belches steering fluid out of the reservoir after driving the car. Ive replaced the pump but it still does it. Im assuming air is getting in somehow but im at a loss. Any ideas? Im dreading that its a problem with the rack.
Are you overfilling the system? And do you turn the wheel lock the lock to help Force air out the system?
@@WALTERBROADDUS ya, the system belches pretty much all of the fluid out. I have zero power steering. I can buy a quart of fluid and have PS for about 6 days till it is all belched out. (Not over filling, missed that)
Check the lines - might get pinched when turning.
@@nikmidclayton5933 is it possible the cap is bad?
@@WALTERBROADDUS I'll check. Is there a way to pressure test the system? To look for a leak
Yep , great stuff Scotty .....keep them coming .
Scotty I bought a 2018 Subaru Legacy in 2018 and the car has 44500 miles in 2022. The CVT transmission failed on the highway going to Syracuse to upstate NY. I had the car towed to the nearest Subaru dealer and they said it was an internal transmission problem. They are putting in a brand new transmission with a 100000 mile warranty until 2028 which ever comes first. They called me to tell me to change the differential fluid and clean the injectors. Do you recommend a fuel injection cleaning from the dealer? Should I just put a can of Lucas in the tank and save 200 bucks? Your were right about the Subaru Transmissions WOW a Japanese company
He’s right about Tesla’s - Souless, cheaply made, devoid of all character.
@JJ Zolper cars should have character and give a sense of theatre and excitement, especially as they are big purchases. Sticking a giant screen on to a plastic dash is not only lazy engineering, it’s also makes the car feel more utility like. Another modern dulling of our daily senses.
And wayyyy too expensive for what it is...
@@joseph-mariopelerin7028 True that. The dash alone feels cheap as hell and doesn't feel premium for the 130k base tag for the a tier model. I can get a Porsche for that money and the build quality would be better.
My transmission goes out more than I do.🤣👍
Hey scotty I have a 2008 Lexus rx350 that has been kept in my family new from the lot with 201,1024 miles on it. It has a messed up front headlight that needs to be fixed as well as the front right fender should I pay to have this fixed or get a new car
My 2008 Nissan Maxima 3.5, 188767, stop acceleration at 65 kmph 3000 rpm. When I push the gas, the engine powers up but no acceleration.( Engine light is up) What's the problem.
Tesla owners drive with the windows up so they can smell their own farts.

Here, in England, station wagons were always call 'estate cars', or simply estates; another rare name was 'shooting brakes'.
Most of the cars that I bought were estates, because of the carrying capacity.
My current one is a 17-year old Volvo XC70 auto, which I bought new. My other car is a 2011 Toyota iQ manual , which I bought in 2019, for fun. Both are great motor-cars.
I remember that! Some of my older family used to use that term for station wagons in India too.
Cars in england are so cheap here in austria a decent v70 is like 1.5k€
Buick always called their big station wagons Estate Wagon.
I love the style of the 68 Oldsmobile station wagon , *Vista Cruiser* 🤗
@@icosthop9998 I agree. But I am more partial to the Buick Sport Wagon of the mid to late 1960. I think I would go with the 1966 Buick Sport Wagon. As it is, I currently have a 1996 Roadmaster Estate Wagon. Not too shabby either.
Only mechanic I follow on you tube or really at all. Love your show and appreciate the help keep up the good work
Hi Scotty I watch your CZcams as Much.as.i can I have questions I changed my abs module recently on my 2007 Toyota Camry V6 will that affect my odometer reading
The absolute quietest tires available for vehicles right now is those new All-Weather Tires made by Michelin. They are called the Michelin-crossclimate. They have a completely different type of tread than any other tires on the market. That's what makes them so quiet. Plus they are really good in the snow too.
Good to know. As an Uber driver in Colorado those sound perfect for when I need to replace my factory tires. Are they expensive?
@@tkunzy3707 Yes. About $160-$180 a tire.
Yo Scotty! I really enjoy your videos but I'm having a hard time choosing a used car to buy right now because I feel like the market is so high so I don't know what car to choose or even if I should buy a car right now. So what do you think I should do? I got a $6-7,000 budget and I'm a young guy and looking for a car that will last me at least 4 years, do you have any suggestions?
Mazda MX 5 NC
Honda Accord
Toyota!! All day long!
early 2000s Camry with low miles
I have a 2004 Pontiac Vibe which is actually a Toyota Matrix..over 205000 miles still runs incredibly! Have had some issues with check engine light/catalytic converter & I just finally changed the starter about 7000 miles ago. I use it for my PT business & usually start that beast up 15-25 times a day
Thank you for all of your great videos, Scotty! They are always helpful and enjoyable!
I'm saving up to buy a vintage 1968-1970 Dodge Charger. I have experience with this particular model of car, so I'm already aware of all the things that go into dealing with the collectible car from expense to finding vintage parts.
That being said, because you have the experience with all things automobile, the big trouble that I have always had with old Chargers is water leaking through the cowl grill, and eventually causing leakage right into the cabin of the car.
Since I don't want to turn my car into a swimming pool, do you have any advice on how I can properly seal the inside of the cowl grill to not only prevent the leakage, but to hopefully keep the insides from rusting.
I'm not necessarily looking to keep everything all original inside this vehicle, as long as the outside looks original. Any suggestions or recommendations you have would be very much appreciated!
Hey scotty. What have you heard about Toyota not covering the high voltage cable corrosion on their rav4 hybrids under their hybrid components warranty
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY US 🇺🇸
Scotty love your wisdom. You are right on about Tesla. I hope I never have to buy an electric car. The only thing I like electric is my drill.
It’s like any electronic: never buy the proto-models. Give the EV-committed OEMs time to out-compete Tesla and some enterprising dude time to open an EV high-capacity “filling station” chain.
So with modern car radiators, as the OEM factory replacement on my 99 Mustang six - being cheaper made now, are there aftermarket radiators that are much better quality, more durable?
What are your thoughts on using unleaded 88 in modern engines? Is it a bad idea?
Chrysler tried to make cheap fixes by trying to do a software fix instead of a mechanical fix. They didn't want to spend money on real fix

Hey Scotty, greetings from Russia (not winning any popularity contests, I know). I'm looking into buying a second-hand Geely Tugella, powered by a 2.0L Volvo engine and an 8 speed automatic transmission manufactured by Aisin. Do you reckon it's a good idea? I don't want to spend my hard earned cash on an endless money pit.
Wonder how many times Scotty has said, " When I was a young mechanic ?" The world may never know.😲😲😲
Reminds of high school counting times teach said "on it" in 40 mins. Record was 40 times.
247.5 I was counting but lost my internet connection half way through that last time.
I have a quick question….. I bought a 2020 Honda Pilot with 27,000 miles. The plastic housing surrounding the rear view mirror doesn’t attach to the wind shield. It hangs around the neck of the mirror. I noticed the windshield was after market. The dealership replaced the windshield one month before I bought with a non Honda product. The windshield also makes random popping and cracking noises that sound like something ( sand, a pebble) is hitting it. What do you suggest I do about thins? How should I handle the situation?
Was the windshield properly installed? Is the installation failing? Should I have it replaced with a Honda windshield? How will this affect my 36,000 mile 3 year warrenty?
hi scotty , i have a 2018 jeep compass that sounds like an airplane if i am idling , any advise ?
Just remember if u get a Tesla they can turn it off in their demand.

It is hardly a "recall" when it is to stop the speaker for working while driving due to ridiculous regulation.

do u think I should try to get more power out ove my chevy cavalier it's got 200.000 miles on it
Hey Scotty,
Why not come out with your own car model!
The Scotty 2022
LoL
I will buy one and I bet we can work on them too 😀
It’s called Toyota
To me it sounds like that 1998 Truck has a clogged catalytic converter. If it makes no power it won't get up to speed to shift with a large throttle opening. If the trans was bad it would be slipping and revving up.
Fuel pump can cause it also.
Scottie tell me what I should do to make my 2012 Scion tC last forever (eventually want to convert to electric)
I have 115k miles. Replaced trans fluid at 75k , use royal purple oil , replaced motor and transmission mounts

Definitely the Element. It's an amazing rig.
Afternoon Scotty!
afternoon!
Scotty man, you’re the best mechanical sound automotive CZcamsr in my opinion. It has been a pleasure watching your videos and learning about ways we can fix our automobiles. Yes, I’m a lucky guy because I’ve stuck mostly to Toyota products since 1999. The LC 80 series being my first purchase then. And now I have Toyota Mark X ‘ 06 JDM 2.5 VVTI V6 bought second hand in 2013, Toyota LC Prado 120 series TX ‘05 model JDM bought in 2014 and my 1994 80 series JDM.
I don’t want to jinx anything, but apart from regular oil changes with filters, I’ve been very happy with those choices.
Now, I want to upgrade to the 150 series Prado soon, replacing my 120 series. While keeping the other two. Hope I come across clean 150 series.
I've never heard of these Toyotas 😂
@Tony Martin as long as it runs
Are you in Japan? Because all this Toyota you’ve mentioned is not in United States
@@DaviesMatep You have the 80 series LC. And the LC Prado is the same body shape as the Lexus GX 450 ( I think ) you have there . Yes, the Mark X is JDM only. In my country Pakistan, we import Japanese cars used and new. Since both countries are right hand drive.
"Why do you answer the common questions, why won't you answer mine?"
*ASKS A COMMON TRANSMISSION QUESTION*
Hello Scotty, I am the original owner of a 2014 Nissan Altima 2.5 s with a 198000 miles, the transmission shift fine, but I have been thinking of changing the the transmission oil and filter…. Do you thinking it’s a good idea to change the oil and filter or just leave it the way it’s right now? Thank you in advance.
If you haven't changed it yet, don't. It will start slipping and having all sorts of issues. Drive it as is and when it craps out, rebuild it.
What Scotty don’t understand is that most people buy stuff base on style, looks, colors, etc and companies know that.
He understands that, he can't stop them. They are not seeking the knowledge he puts out.
Lol he's going on about the tesla recall and it was just to stop the loud speaker from playing custom noises... nothing to do with safety... you dropped the ball scotty!
Try changing transmission shifting solenoids under the pan.

HEY SCOTTY I HV A COROLLA 95 1.8 LTR how hard is it to put inner and outer ty rod, for both sides?
Dude not hard just aligned
I bought a 99 Accord Ex last year with 112000 OG miles from OG owners. An older couple who had it garaged. I'm at 134000 miles not, someone stole my CAT, I'm running a straight pipe now. I need to go through DEQ soon. How do you feel about using spark plug defouler on 02 sensor to turn my check engine light off to pass. Until I can afford a new CAT. Or I'd it ok to keep the straight pipe. It's a daily driver not a fast and furious car extra.
Hello Scotty from Chicago🌬🌦, be sure to wish your mom a🤗 happy Mother's Day 🏆BROTHER!😁🧰👋👋👍
Ok I like your channel and all, but the Tesla recall that affects all Teslas can easily be fixed over the air. It was recalled because you can play custom horn noises through their infotainment system. All they have do is disable this feature. It has nothing to do with the actual car.
Sounds like hes got this one wrong.
Yes that happens when you are in a rush to upload a new video daily without preparation and correct information. For the sake of views and CZcams money to buy a Tesla and then talk bad words against the Tesla to make people agree on that .
An electric car wasting battery unnecessarily is a waste of energy that hurts the life of the battery. Energy can’t be created nor destroyed but transferred from one source to another.
@@MrElemonator How do you think that Electric car waste energy.
Savage, love you Scotty. Glad I have my 86 toyota pickup. Hoping to get a diesel hilux one of these days. Does anyone know about an old truck called a Toyota 1000?
"Station wagons" scotty hits it hard hahahaha..
KIA should be on the list.
It is not? I would be surprised because he always bash the poor brand
It’s not on the list because they all BURNED AWAY with all those engine fires 🔥 …ROFLMAO! 😆
KIA is the best of the "cheap" manufacturers. It's the lesser of several evils
@@nikmidclayton5933 that’s right. But common people don’t seems to be ready for that conversation.
2015 kia optima with permium package only in it. Purchased it with 4,390 miles on it. Had 3 recalls since then and not a single problem with it since I got it
You do realize that the "recall" is a software recall not an actual physical recall. Which the whole fleet got fixed in an update. I guess no one explained that to him before his rant.
He does zero research just talks
You do know that software recalls are actual recalls. The NHTSA has issued software recalls. Just because Tesla can issue a software update aka a recall without having you bring your car into a dealer doesn't mean it is not a recall.
@@juandenzer637 yeah and the software recall was to take the pedestrian sounds off. Oh no that could of really harmed my car! Big whoop
🤣😂🤣
@@juandenzer637 while not technically wrong, you know that’s not the spirit of what’s being discussed. Cmon now
With the older GM’s, if the fuel filter is plugged it won’t shift until you let off on the accelerator
Is that a feature or a bug?
@@Schmuly neither, it’s a bi-product of a clogged fuel filter.
What’s your opinion on the Tundra ten speed transmission?
My dad bought a used audi when he found out how much it was for a front brake job he got rid of it like a bad habit.
Wow are front brake jobs expensive for Audi even if you buy the parts and do it yourself?
@@truckergilligangilligan5877 . Brakes are expensive to replace on German cars.
@@snyderjet Everything is expensive to replace on German cars. 😆
Love your channel, you are completely wrong on Star Link and while not perfect, Tesla is pretty amazing considering where they came from.
Ford owner with transmission issues, had 1999 Plymouth voyager, tranny had no 3rd gear anymore, guy who rebuilt found a previous owner set a very strong magnet in the tranny pan - we never had an issue. Untill 3rd was all the way gone. Good old school trick
I can back those claims, I had a 79 Chevy with a 350 turbo transmission, slippin, added Lucas stop slip and the truck literally went problem free for the next 2 years, used it in a 89 Chevy with a 700r4, and changed filter, it ran fine for about 3 months or so before slippin again, the stuff does wonders sometimes. I never had any luck with Chevy auto transmissions unless it's a manual or even an auto in a S10 is decent, can't complain about the S10.
Hope we can get it in NZ
Savage Scotty. If this guy comes on twitter, he can make Tesla shares fall😂
He can only do comedy and make people laugh
@@Hassan1Warraich ?
A lot of the tesla recalls I have seen are software issues that can easily be fixed over air like the boom box and rolling stop. They are just pointless recalls really anyway. My buddy has starlink, he is a huge gamer so likes really fast internet, he loves it. Most people that buy teslas don't care as much about the little quality issues as they do about the innovation.
I don’t like Elon musk… ( though i tend to hate when when people worship guys like steve jobs and trump) and I am not a fan of his cars… though i do like the fact that he disrupts the oil giants…
What percentage is a lot to you?
One quick glance at Tesla recalls shows this below : none of them are software related there
Recall notices were issued in 2017 and again 2018 regarding the Takata exploding airbag inflators that, in the event of airbags deployment, could send metal fragments into the passenger compartment risking injury to the driver or passenger. The vehicles affected include all 2012 and 2013 Model S sedans totaling 17,846 cars. As of April 2018, the completion rate for this recall stood at 43.1 percent.
More recently, Tesla recalled 2012-2016 Model S cars equipped with Bosch steering racks. Corroded aluminum bolts connecting the power steering gear assist motor to the gear housing may fail, causing partial or complete loss of power steering assist. No completion rate date is currently available.
In 2017, Tesla issued two recalls. The first involved 2016-2017 Model X vehicles regarding a faulty second-row seat latching mechanism. As of May 2018, the completion rate for the 4,582 vehicles involved in this recall was 79.7 percent. The second recall involved 2016-2017 Model S and Model X vehicles. An improperly manufactured internal gear in the electric parking brake assembly may fail, causing the parking brake to either freeze up upon release or fail to hold the vehicle adequately when applied. As of April 2018, of the 31,472 vehicles affected, some 74.3 percent had been repaired.
In 2015, nearly 60,000 Model S cars were recalled due to possible improperly secured front seatbelt mechanism. As of April 2017, the completion rate for this recall was 93.1 percent.
@@Hashdollars never mentioned any percentages
I'm happy that I really haven't found any of the video where he talks about Peugeot, since I have 4 months ago bought Peugeot RCZ as a my first car and completely loving it! :D
I had a station wagon that you would have really loved. It was a 1969 Pontiac Tempest wagon with a straight 6 overhead cam engine and three on the tree. That was a cool old car.
I know "everyone" wants a GTO, But I always thought "TEMPEST" was such a freaking cool name for a car! If I had an "A" body Poncho, I'd do it up (mechanically) like a GTO, but leave the "Tempest" badging on it! 👍😊👍
I literally can't get decent internet without Starlink. It's certainly not for everyone, but Scotty has no clue how many people can't just drop miles of "fiber" lol.
He also doesn't know Jack-rice about Teslas.
Your consistency and quality of content never disappoints!
I remember Chrysler's lock up converters in '78. So many dealers made bogus warranty claims.
Hey! Do you recommend Trans-X for transmission?
Lucas or Trans-X which is best🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
