Scotty Kilmer, your a legendary mechanic. I don't like the electric car's. I'm a gas combustion engine kind of guy. Hahaha 😂😂😂
If I ever were to purchase an EV, it would be made by converting a quality body shell thru such cottage companies such as Zero EV who know a thing or two.
Skotty, when it comes to the Tesla Giga press making the subframe in one piece brings a lot of question to mind about reliability and performance of that component. I had spent most of my life working with the same technology as it's been used for such process. Making a complex piece such as this will be challenging to say the list, but at every turn ratio of aluminum flow adjustment is propense to crack if not process properly and must! have extra support for reliability. Once there's any kind of long-term stress will create fatigue and weaking the structure itself. Throw away Tesla for sure, I'll wait a long time before any consideration if any for anyone to purchase. 🤔
Hey scotty...I've got a question about red and yellow dots on new tires and the proper positioning.
Might make for a future video as well.
To much conflicting info on utube about where to position the dots.
What is the proper position...ty.
screw g.m.
"They take the bailout from the government."
NO, NO, NO.
The bailout was from the taxpayers,.
doesnt matter it was paid back with interest within 2 years. companies and individuals take out loans all the time whats the big deal
@@cantwealljustgetalong2 The big deal is that if you or I went to a bank with no way to show we could pay back the loan on our own we would not get a "loan". In a free market, businesses have the right to make money. They also have a right to lose money and go out of business. It is not up to taxpayers to bail them out, regardless of whether the loan was paid.
Look at all the people filing bankruptcy,. Do they just get a bailout?
Yes, the loans were paid back, but they should never have been bailed out in the first place. It's not like people would stop buying cars. We'd just be buying a different brand.
"But we had to bail them out or all those poor people would have lost their jobs"...uh, yeah, they did lose their jobs regardless. Companies do not have an inherent right to exist. They live or die on their own.
@@cantwealljustgetalong2 LOL paid back with interest? Not to us it wasn't, we never got a rebate on GM garbage, they cut labour costs moving production to Mexico and jacked up the prices on their cheap, plastic, dogshit vehicles. Another one of these fools who thinks the government actually generates wealth, they don't they STEAL IT from all of us productive, taxpaying citizens.
@@cantwealljustgetalong2 tell that to leticia james
You know they paid evert penny back, right?
50 years ago I stopped buying GM when they told me
We’re not honoring the warranty
19 cars later still won’t buy gm
The problem with bailouts is it always hurts the tax payer. The government uses money that doesnt belong to them, it belongs to the people.
My fully paid off 25 year old pick-up truck works just fine for me. In fact, people are starting to catch me on the street and offer to buy it!
If you think it happens a lot now, wait until it's 35 years old.
@@richardbauer3327Good one! It's a 1998 K1500 BTW I have a 1970 Mustang in my garage and at times,....I'm scared to open the garage door. People will be driving by and stop asking to buy it.
Exactly, I have an Impala SS with 79,000 original and a 93 Z-28 with 50,000 original. They were bought a while ago, all paid off and I absolutely don't mind driving them for a long time to come.
It’s funny how that works. After all those years taking care of your vehicle someone comes up and ask to buy it. I asked them why? They say cause it’s nice. I was like why not take care of your own vehicle and you could have your own.
@@Rusty1972 Yup!!!!
GM probably don't mind if you never buy a GM car, since the government has already paid them from the taxes they stole from you.
no actually GM paid that loan back with interest, know what youre talking about before you talk trash
@@cantwealljustgetalong2cuz GM is just trash in real world
@@cantwealljustgetalong2 Ya, cause the government has money to lend out, it doesn't steal it from taxpayers at gunpoint. Grow a brain, you corporate stooge.
@@cantwealljustgetalong2 Next time I go bankrupt from gross negligence and malfeasance I'll be sure to remember what you say when I walk into the bank and ask for a huge loan. I'm SURE they'll give me the money.
Toyota got a cut, too
"First we overlook evil, Then we permit evil. Then we legalize evil. Then we promote evil. Then we celebrate evil. Then we persecute those who still call it evil." Fr. Dwight Longenecker

Wow, deep, true and sad. Almost there not fully. But now they are brain washing kids in schools so when they grow up good will be officially evil.😢

We are there. Few know it.
Amen
AMEN 🙏🙏🙏
Rates for EVs were on the news in Canada recently talking about rates will skyrocket because of high costs to fix. Scott's right.
I’m so glad that I’m a former GM customer. Their vehicles just aren’t what they used to be decades ago. I became a Toyota customer this year and happy with my decision.
NOTHING is as good as it used to be. everything made today has an expiration date built in so you have to keep buying. I think a lot of people bought new appliances to "update" when they would remodel their kitchen and the new appliances ar braking down, when their old appliances they sold cheap or gave away to be taken away, ar still running strong. It's shameful.
Toyota Tundra
NO BAILOUTS EVER, NEVER EVER. LET THEM FAIL
Never again
Canada made money and balanced the budget with their loan payback and shares...pretty good deal in a bad situation...GM contributed to the middle class when we had one..not so bad....business is business you have to be ruthless to survive
That is how capitalism is SUPPOSED to work ... 👍🏼
@@justinlanglais9825 yup failure is to capitalism as hell is necessary for religion
Won't happen. Democrats will always want to protect one of their core voter groups (unions).
GM did the same thing in Australia. The govt gave Holden $20m to keep their factory open. They closed it and imported everything. No-one bought the crap and they went broke and closed Holden down.
Wish we could a seen more of the great Holden models of the 90's and early 2000's outside their native land.
Holden should have been nationalised, along with Ford and Toyota manufacturing here.
It was more like $60 million after many subsidies before that.
@@brianlove8413 nah we shouldn't nationalize anything, then the losses would be endless because tax payers would keep covering their losses. Better to let them go bust, it would be cheaper for everybody
I didn't mean as permanent fix, nationalise them all into one manufacturing hub, rationalise production and models, then float it to the public.@@sten260
I'm so proud of myself that the last Chevy I owned was a 1969 suburban 3 door.
Every time I looked at Chevy since 87, they've just gotten more complicated without making the vehicle worth spit!
My neighbor helped out a plant in Mexico. It's different down there. Anything that isn't chained down is immediately stolen. He turned his back on a very expensive micrometer set and found out the hard way. The turnover is 500% a year. People get a couple paychecks and bounce, never to be seen again. But the foods pretty good 👍
yep true story, i worked in Querertaro 4 different times, the company i worked for there sold because the cartels/mafia came in an told them they no longer were going to get the scrap money at gunpoint. yeah it happened! oh and the food was good btw
@bassethoundguy3545, it happens in the U.S. assembly plants, too. When they order tools, they figure 3 per shift, and one would go home with the worker.
It also takes more workers to get the job done and skilled workers are as common as hen’s teeth.
Trump told them it didn't matter what kind of raise they would get because they would all end up losing their jobs.
Totally true Donald Trump will prove everything right
Trump said that to actors, not UAW workers. Look at the signs they are holding, auto workers for Trump, union workers for Trump, but not one says UAW for Trump and the ones holding the union workers signs, worked at a non union shop. Drink the kool-aid, Penniless in Prison told you to.
Hehe
@@DonKnight-qi4tuuaw is for chumps…
@@urbugnmetoday3183 and you wonder why your good paying jobs are in Mexico.
Certified pre owned .....means we took it around back & detailed it .
like toyota and others are any different
LOL!😂
@@jim9930 yeah certified preowned is legit
Certified pre-owned is legitimate. Most dealers do go through an inspection process and determine what needs to be repaired or replaced.
CPO's have better warranties
I work in a dealership collision center and have a work mate whose wife is a high up in an insurance company. You are correct when the Tesla get in minor wrecks, a lot of times she said they total them out.
GM in the 70s made great cars and trucks. My wife's family lived in Flint. Her dad was a foreman in the assembly plant. He and her mother had and raised 8 kids on his salary. One of her brothers got an engineering degree at GMI. Two other brothers were hourly workers . Her dad and the two brothers retired on a GM pension. Flint was prosperous back then. When GM shut down its plants in Flint, The town went bust as the workers moved away and taxed revenue dropped way down.
Government Motors has been planning this for years.
Just finishing up.what they started.
This is almost Mexico.
It will be soon.
🙄🙄🙄@@lawrencehalpin6611
It might as well be in the south.
we know who we can thank for that
@@timtoms4117 Thanks Obiden.
50 years ago I bought my first auto, a Chevy. As long as troubles go, you name it, I got it. Two of them almost killed me. The list is so long you and I don’t have time to get into them. Two years later I traded it for a Honda and I drove it over 200,000 miles and it was still running. I sold it. I am still a Honda fan.
Fifty years ago I was a Toyota mechanic and had been for the six previous years. That experience caused me to lose a lot of respect for American car companies and German car companies. If every car had the place it was made, as well as the country of origin of the ownership, we'd know whether we were getting garbage or not.
In the USA your best option is to buy a 5-10 year old Toyota or Lexus and maintain it yourself. It's easy...
I have a 2010 Toyota Yaris best car ever
Yes cars built in the last 13yrs are crap.
i have a subaru crosstrek 6 speed manual. so far it has been a flawless car
I drive a 92 Ford F150, runs like a champ and tough as nails
Yeah my 2013 2nd gen Tacoma 4.0 is the best vehicle I've ever owned....
They dont have to deal with DEI or power their plants on Green Energy anywhere else in the world.
Aren't the DEI employees usually in white-collar positions? How does it help the company to move to Mexico if the corporations' offices are infested with DEI and climate-change lunatics?
Especially DEI.
Exactly.
I work at the GM plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee and we are fairly busy. I also work at UPS in La Vergne and things there are slow. Only 2 jobs in the entire state of Tennessee for UPS. I think by this summer the economy will be in a recession.
I'm glad you kept up with your youtube channel.The 5.7 Hemi and the 392 Hemi have an oiling problem If you do alot of Idling or short trips it's wears the cams out at around 40000 miles 11000 dollars to fix it and Chrysler won't stand behind it
Union greed is as bad a corporate greed, both killed the business.
It's corporate greed not unions.
@@scotthcomyns3426 When GM mechanics were making over $60 an hour a few decades ago in Michigan and the OEMs moved south, how was that not also the fault of unions?
Union Greed? Do you know how stoopid you sound?
workers got what they deserve, wanted too much money and now they don't even have a job
It's corporate greed look at a hilux in australia 1 cost 80000$+but they get them made in Thailand and they pay the workers in Thailand for 100$aweek
GM. . USA bailed them out. Every US citizen should get a free car or truck.
I like that idea
As long as it's a quality car
if you go by that logic every tax paying american should get a check for a half a million, the amount given to GM was a drop in the bucket compared to how much of our tax money is given to other counries and other organizations that we know nothing about and dont approve of
Yep, a Free Toyota.
Obama likely is the only one who got that "free car or truck". Funny, that nobody has mentioned so far that he masterminded that "bailout" . . with taxpayer funds.
I have no problem with my car not being made by the UAW. The last time I bought a UAW made auto, it arrived and promptly went into the shop for 3 solid months while Ford put on the parts the UAW strikers forgot after returning to work.
Watched the tyre balance bead video. Fascinating
UAW got their new contract. GM and Ford says we'll just move to Mexico 😂
Exactly what I was thinking!
Yep, OK , we will give you auto workers a great new contract with 20% more money in their pay....but we are moving all manufacturing to MExico and you US auto workers are Laid off...Bye Bye
You do know Toyota also builts cars in Mexico right??
GM would be perfectly happy building cars in the US if they could shed the UAW millstone around their neck.
@@DarkForce2024 I had the same thought.
We send our jobs to Mexico, they send us their people, are you kidding me. I won’t miss GM, and I’m like Scotty, I won’t be buying an EV.
They send their people because the US gov tell the Mexican gov to send the cheap labor.
You know they build Toyotas in Mexico too
and trust me they don't send us highly qualified workers, those stay in the Mexico building cars, they send us beggars and single moms with 5 kids.. and eventually we have no capital, no factories, no jobs and no workers, just a bunch of beggars looking for handouts. And then you get socialism and poverty
@John-wp9su that's why scotty said buy the old ones.
Tesla EVs are the most American built cars
I am a fan. Keep up the good work. I have learned so much by watching your channel.
Hey Scotty I got a great question for you. There's a huge problem in the 04-06 Mazda 3 2.3 hatchback and sedan where the dash cluster gear indicator flickers sporadically after about an hour or so of driving and some times causes the transmission to shift down to 3rd gear and back up to fifth. And I've checked forums high and low and no one can figure it out.
Holden (Australian GM) did the exact same thing! They took bailout and bailed out! Needless to say Australians are NOT Fans of Genital Motors!
My Brother Has one of the last year Chevy SS, in which is a Holden. He put a supercharger in it by himself and can beat almost any Dodge Challenger/Charger and more..The Last Good CHEVY!
This is absolutely true. Despicable. Hello from North Queensland.🇦🇺
Exactly. They took all the taxpayer money and sent it to Detroit instead of making decent cars locally. All they did instead was import crap Korean Daewoos
Yup, if we ever started supporting each other and refuse to purchase stuff that is not made in America, things could change pretty quickly.
No they would just keep raising the price of American made thinking it was good quality. You can't win.
us people i doubt it
The ridiculous regulations and the union crap protecting bad employees tend to chase job’s away. Yes quality is not so good especially at FORD. It would be great if most products for America was built here. However, the masses don’t seem to care where things are built anyway.
I'm with you 100% I look up American made everything before I buy it and IF I can I will buy American. Clothes, shoes, anything. We need to help ourselves and stop expecting the companies we build off our labor will ever share the wealth with us. No matter how much profit we bring them we have to beg for a few percent raise.
@@JoeS-NY Oh, these employees ought to use the money to buy stock in the company rather than union goons. That way they can try to fire the CEO and see if they can do better.
7:09 I’d love to hear Scotty “talk” about a Mexican Bronco while he’s doing impersonations.
I have a 2001 Chevy truck and have almost four thousand miles on it and still Running Great and love it bought it new 24 years ago ❤️IT
When there is no work in the USA who is going to bye the vehicles??
Maybe they’ll hello them instead? 😮
Good question.
That's easy. The govt employees and those on welfare will buy them.
All the people that can afford a vehicle. Completedly unrelated to car manufacturing jobs in the US.
They plan on making everyone live in 15 minutes cities.. outlawing private vehicle ownership. You'll have companies offering self driving taxis..
I bought a 2007 Toyota Yaris now has 214.000 miles with maintenance still running like new thank God because today I can’t afford to buy a new one even if I want too thank you Toyota u guys rock ❤❤❤
We recently lost our 2011 (with over 160k miles) Yaris due to an accident. The only repair in all the years was to replace a loose fan belt. Best, most efficient and reliable car we’ve ever owned; sure miss it!
Oh yeah. I’m still driving my 2006. Toyota 4 runner. With 4 hundred thousand miles on it.. still running strong. Best truck ever built.
Same here I got a 2000 Toyota Avalon 260,000 miles and still runs strong
Cars now is so expensive 😞.
@@lisamccray9079 it’s better to pay cash for a good used reliable car than to waste your money on monthly payments on something that loses more value the moment you drive it off the lot. A new car may look good for a couple years, but it starts looking like every other car after a month. I don’t understand why people pay exorbitant prices for something they only spend a couple hours in, let alone insurance, maintenance, annual taxes, etc…
Good job I’m happy for you keep with the maintance
Your a hoot Mr Scott, love your channel keep up the great work .
They weren't totaled because of the frame damage. They were totaled because of the Lithium Ion battery damage. Any major wreck and Lithium Ion has to be completely replaced. The frame damage can be fixed with a cutoff saw, and a welder. No insurance company is going to insure an EV with a partial Lithium Ion replacement, or a battery that has been in a wreck.
I got from the video that Scotty was talking about what would happen after they moved to the gigapress technology, so that unibody breaking plus the battery would be even worse.
I would refuse to drive a car that had its frame “repaired” lol
Most EVs will be totaled if in a moderate accident. Can't take a chance of battery damage shorting out later - fires. All insured drivers will be paying for it.
@@brucesheehe6305 The auto insurance industry should create a separate class of vehicle coverage for EVs. And let the EV owners pay much higher insurance rates.
Which would be a much more labour intensive procedure, which means repairing an EV will cost more than simply swapping body parts on an ICE car.
Harley-Davidson has been doing this, too. Just under the radar of most journalists.
A dependent population is a compliant population
Harley-Davidson has existed in a Market of its own, in a World of its own for nearly 50 years now.
But they no longer publish the average age of their purchasers. So that's probably not good news.

All cars (not trucks) are disposable now, the cost to repair almost always exceeds their appraised value.
General Motor has been building 70% of their cars in China since 2010. Not a typo. I saw a document by a former executive showing all the plants located in China. I was stunned by that number. I thought maybe 30% made in China.
Those cars are not exported to the U.S..
the Chinese LOVE those Buicks !
That's where the market is.
That is S.A.I.C. A joint venture. GM does not even own then. And after the Obama’s lending program , GM executives went hat in hand to get more bailout money from the Chinese.
The deal breaker stipulated by the Chinese was that GM would have to drop their Engineering deal with Korea’s Daweoo and send it all to China. Which they did.
And to top it off , S.A.I.C. also has VW under contract.
Basically all the engineering that was performed by Opel to make subcompacts , a GM USA weak point , go trashed by greed and stupidity, and further worsened by killing Daweoo’s deal.
I believe you. Been seeing elsewhere that GM has been working with China. A company called Shanghai owns part of GM.
Yet another reason to hate GM and it's corrupt and OVERPAID management.
BMW isn't much better. German automakers formed a cartel to not compete and thus quality has nosedived in all of their brands as well.
@@Benzley722 I never said. BMW was better you are correct . Corporate greed
G.M., G. eneric M. otors .
And union wages and benefits averaging $150/year for assembly work.
Their behavior is logically consistent with the economic and business conditions we have created in America
Thanks UAW.
Honeywell did the same thing back during the early 2000's. Furthermore, they forced engineers they were letting go to train their foreign replacement brought to the USA or loose out on retirement or severance packages. Almost immediately their engines serviceability went in the toilet and failed almost every quality control. Stocks plummet and forced Honewell to bring it all back at their own costs. I laughed my butt off.
Certified used car means its certified that it is indeed a used car.
The only good thing about certified used cars as most of them come with really good warranties. Question is how much are you paying for the certification, would you be better off just buying a good used car warranty?
Ya their total scams. A certified 2019 Camry is like a couple grand less than MSRP when it was new! I bought one from the first owner for 20k 54k miles🙌
CPO should mean the maintenance schedule has always been followed and done at the dealer. They should show you the maintenance history to prove it.

Serious question: If the Germans are such experts at building diesel engines, why did VWAG have to install software to detect when it was being tested for emissions and switch to a mode that would allow it to pass theses tests ? Were their expert engineers builders on annual leave or something ?
I love how bailouts are brought up from 15 years ago. By the way all those loans were paid back. If you want to see why they’re moving look at the recent contract talks.
GMs last “good” cars and trucks were how many years ago? Been a while.

They did exactly this to our beloved Holden brand in Australia not that long ago... Government wouldn't bail them out this time so they quit. Shame too, they just got the Australian made VF Commodores spot on, it was good enough to compete internationally but then changed the an un-popular foreign made commodore, then pulled the plug entirely. Thanks GM...
You are the only one so far talking about the disposability of gigapress vehicles.
I've heard it elsewhere also .
But for the most point, Scotty stays ahead of the curve.
They are not disposable. Those casting have very presice "break points" during a crash. Tesla has all the parts that will be bolted to the damaged one or welded. There are internet videos of how easy , and fast is to repair a gigacasting. Just search in youtube.

I'm Canadian and my 2012 Honda Civic was assembled here. It has 250,000km and it is still working. I was even in an accident and it has a bent radiator and front end and it still works.
I drive a 1984 Chevy C-10 daily. Runs good with its new 500hp engine. Dependable too.
RIP Scotty...Thanks for the lessons
Government Motors - Nuff Said
General Mistakes since Hail Mary took over...
They paid back the loans
Tell that to many of the stakeholders who lost their money.
@@user-iq2ng5cq2v NOT really...they SCREWED the bondholders over the preferred union workers
@@michaelkendall662 how did they screw the bondholders? Remember all countries help their manufacturing base. The Japanese in Chinese will manipulate their dollar to give their manufacturing base a competitive advantage..
I’ve refused to even consider buying a GM vehicle since they closed their plant in Oshawa.
They just closed up a GM dealership. Right around the corner from my job . It’s been there for decades NOW. 40 Chevy Silverado trucks. Are all gone. It’s just an empty lot. I still can’t believe it..
@@harveyhankerson8359lol
@@harveyhankerson8359 GM doesn't own dealerships.
@@steven4315 well Chevy.
@@harveyhankerson8359 Chevy doesn't own any dealerships either.
I love your channel, it's the best!
They left along time ago. I replaced the check engine lightbulb and the instrument cluster said made in Japan.
your right on the mark again scotty.
Wasn’t there an expression: “What is good for General Motors is good for the country, and what is good for the country is good for General Motors.” Oh, the times they are a changin’.
That quote didn't specify what country.
I like "So goes GM, so goes the country" better
The quote is by Charles E. “Engine Charlie” Wilson, who was head of General Motors in the early 1950’s. He became Secretary of Defense in Eisenhower’s cabinet and served for Ike’s entire first term 1953-1957. This was back when competence and work ethic were recognized as necessary to produce quality products at affordable prices. People weren’t hoodwinked by DEI, woke, self proclaimed ‘social justice warriors, and other 24 karat phony purveyors of destructive nonsense. Amazing there were no boxes to check and you actually had to pass the bar exam to practice law. Tick Tock Tick Tock…
@@sdrc92126 It does sound better, but the quote I gave is what was actually said.
@@jonboz7585 My quote was told to me when I was 5 years old by someone who worked for GM and my dad always repeated it. I guess they didn't really say it to me, just something they used to say hahahahaa
The last GMC I bought was a Yukon back in 2005. Then they took government money during the last crash & I said then, I would never buy from them again. I hope those traders go belly up.
Hey Scotty, where do you get your information??
Funny how he doesn't provide sources huh.
Last I saw Mexico was coming here
Right!!
Only the unemployable criminals are coming here, all the fortune seekers are staying put because that is where the jobs are ending up...
At this point, it's best to learn Spanish if one wishes to travel to the US lol
@@jim9930mexican were in the west before it was called the usa
WHEN Life gets hard in the U.S maybe they will go back to MEH-HE-KÓ and work at GM... WHOOPS WORK¿¿ 🤫🤔
This would be a good time for an entrepreneur to start a company building old-style, old school vehicles. Crank handle windows, vacuum boosted power brakes, points and condenser, air conditioner, CB radio, pull handle seat adjustments, manual transmission. But with new engine tech for fuel economy. Gas or diesel with “scrubbers”. Maybe not the catalytic converter as we know them today.
That doesn't fit into the hypernovel sensibilities of the ocd ruling class
The current government safety regulations would not allow that to happen. The safety standards have changed, thus no way going back to the old ways that are tried and true.
Government will not let them
Or you can just buy a classic car from 1974 or older and have practically unlimited freedom to configure it anyway you want without an iota of pollution controls.
@@jim9930 great idea. good luck.
Watching you from the Philippines they love Toyota here
I learned something today. Scotty was the voice of Guitto in Pixar’s Cars 😂
I have a 2015 Chevy Colorado WT 3.6L V-6. Computer problems and the same interior as my 78 chevy malibu.
I agree and from my experience pre owned certified means 💩
It means you just got F'd big time folks, hahahaha!!
Hey thanks a lotn. I was wondering about those beads. Here is the answer! You know that after 5 MPH, the centripetal force is more than gravity, so I put them on a bike. I had to cut a hole on the tube to insert them😂
GM lost soooooooooo much money on EV, I am so surprised they are not bankrupt yet at this point. Of course, TAX PAYERS money save them again from the Democrat party! 😂
I drive a great North AMERICAN car.. oh, it’s built in Canada LOL
My current "Japanese" vehicle is more U.S. than "U.S." vehicles 🤣
My 2 Canadian-made GMs from the past were pretty decent. My last GM was Mexican and after their bail-out, what a joke it was, I've been done with GM after that.
Unions have even more power in Canada. Canadian factory owners move their production to the US once the union is too much of a burden and/or government subsidies dry out. If things go sour even in the US, they may try a red state first but eventually go to Mexico or China.
@@lajya01 Canadians have a better work ethic than Americans. Canadian made 'American' cars are actually decent quality.
I drive the most US made vehicle. A Tesla.
american made cars are expensive trash. no wonder they moved to mexico. and they will still be trash after they move to mexico!
My AC for my home made in Mexico lasted 1 year and broke. "Quality"
You're not very bright are you? they've been building cars in Mexico for years and in Canada since the late sixties where have you people been?
I can't believe people buy things from a country that constantly screws us over.
You mention Canada and Mexico together as if those two things were the same.... @@John-wp9su
Your right 👍🏿 and who wants to buy it after a couple years old and be stuck paying God knows how much for the Battery can you imagine how much money that is 💯
First time with you!! Thanks for speaking the truth!!!
Edit: subscribed!
I wish Scotty was in 3D his arms and hands would look like he’s bunching you!! 😂😂😂😂
GMdid the same to the Holden here in Australia 😢
Not before they milked Holden to the last drop. A set of wheels that could be done cheaper in Australia had to be imported from the US, at a higher cost, so US execs could meet their bonus targets.
Certified usually come with a warranty, though.
The stockholders win again! At least in the short term! Great job!
Thank you, Scotty !
