Hey Scotty F Y I
AutoRandz made a video about your shifting gears from drive to neutral.
It's in Spanish
If you want to check it out.
The whole problem is, the government wants to control the vehicle production. Most of them making these decisions, can't even change a tire.
The market seems ripe for an old school car with limited chips, no fancy screen - just good mechanics without all the silly, high-cost, high fault rate electronics.
Sadly the law requires a lot of new electonics so they can shut you down at will.
It's called a used car from the 20th century!!❤😂Yes, their values are Rising!!
Need to go back to engines like the Ford inline 300 6cyl, last forever
@landonbenford8369 yes you're right. I have an Australian 2000 Ford Fairlane V8 and it is solid. It has early OEBD II technology for a scantool. It's done 270,000km and will do that again easy. I don't need to ever buy another car, as long as there's spare parts to maintain it... it a collectible car.
'72 Chevy pickup with a 350 in it. Or, a 60s or 70s Ford pickup with a 300 straight six. They'd still have to have all of the safety and pollution crap on them due to the laws.
I retired from the fire service and some goof ball fire engine manufacturer started building electric powered fire engines. You can be at a fire scene for hours using pumps to put water on the fire. Who in their right mind would buy something that may only pump for two or three hours and you are done?? You guessed it-departments in California. The country has lost its mind !
Reason for that was government and state incentives ,I'm betting that manufacturer made a lot of money ,knowing full well their product was a joke.
I'm sure Elon makes most his EV money off of gov. subsidies.
True. But the trucks have diesel generators to recharge the batteries when this happens (probably not that often).
What are you going to do about foolish inventions
Just Imagine IF California Governor, Gavin Newsom Steals The Election!
America Will Be In Serious Trouble Then.
He Will Do To America What He Already Did To California!
@@DMBriffa If it's an EV fire they'll need to pump water for days lol
When you have car dealerships begging the manufacturers to take back these vehicles, I think that pretty much sums up the American car buying public.
No, it sums up the American EV manufacturing inability. The Chinese EV's are selling like hotcakes around the world. Only Tesla knows how to build an EV in the USA.
@@johnwest7993You should move to China and educate all of us as to why the Chinese EV's are selling like "Hot cakes".
The best thing Ford could do is get rid of Jim Farley
Mary Barra from GM can join Farley lol
@@davidgardiner4620 she’s being paid $29m a year for her ‘guidance’. I guess she spits gold bullion out her *ss or something. Half the problem with American companies is the CEO salaries.
@@harveyhankerson8359I disagree whole heartedly. They’re one of the best companies, Farley’s doing a fine job and I’ve been super happy with my Fseries trucks and Chevs.
I'd be happy if they built a vehicle I can count on
@@donpardo2510 All of their vehicles are reliable and dependable. Keep in mind that Scotty isn't providing a public service with these videos; it's all about views and $$. I run a fleet of 16 Fseries trucks and have an F150 hybrid as a personal truck. They all work perfect and any recalls have been dealt with at the time of routine maintenance...... absolutely no inconvenience and a courtesy vehicle offered. The last two recalls included replacing a wiper motor (that was working fine) and inspection of the insulation wrap on a wire loom supplying the brake. Nothing burger recalls in a lot of cases but necessary for safety.........
Also the charging station cables are now being stolen for the copper in them.
😂
Yup
We have had great electric cars for years. Golf carts.
Traxxas and Losi make fine electric cars and trucks too!
Gas golf carts are more in demand
Traditional Lead Acid batteries which are very heavy .
Agree 👍 you got that right 👍
Yeah, I use my golf cart around my grove. But I would never pack up the family and go on a road trip using it.
I went to a wrecking yard in my state to get something for my 1968 Valiant VE, I saw a Tesla Model 3 sitting there with only minor damage, I would say maybe $500 if it was ICE, but it was Battery damaged and for sale as scrap. Technology has really got better, where a car 50+ years only can get parts, but a car 1-year-old can't.
Not for sale as scrap but they will scavenge all the parts that they can off from it to sell before scraping . Doors window glass computers electronic components motors ect.
You’re valiant has saved the planet from at least 15 carbon footprints of building its replacement. Making things last has far less impact on the environment than does building a new Tesla, Leaf, lucid, or etruck 150
I had an electric car when I was a little kid, now I’m all grown up and have a V-8😂
I am so proud of you.
My 1970 C10`s V8 & I just hauled 2,950# of alfalfa hay for my Thoroughbred kind of horsepower. Like to see an electric P/U do that in one trip. Have to admit though we see more & more Rivians & Teslas every day here in Western Oregon. Must be some people who like them, We even have a Tesla dealership in Salem, Or. on Hwy 22 just down the way from the Salem Costco. Would be interesting to try one out for a drive to visit my relatives in Tilammook county. Would be a 250 mile round trip. Don`t know if there are any chargers on the Oregon coast.
Now you have cordless tools.
That’s funny 😆 😆
Amen
And just wait until the Army has electric tanks and trucks! Battles will only last 2 hours!
Lol. That might be a good thing!
this creepy crap is all based on trying to hurt russia and iran by not needing their oil yet the enemy are the zionists inside the usa.
I could see them having electric takeoff assistance/ huge torque to get things moving, then roll back to pure diesel and generator charging. on some things anyway.
actually that sounds great. 2 hour wars. progress
They'll have to build charging stations on the battlefield beforehand! 😆
EVs the solution for a problem that does not exsist.
People who bought Chinese BYD electric cars here in NZ are complaining about serious rust issues after a year or two.
Heard of CO2 emissions?
@@pascalbruyere7108And what is the problem with CO2?
The problem is peak oil and lowered oil production
@@pascalbruyere7108 The stuff that all plants and trees need?
If this guy was my grandfather when I was a kid, I'd be saying to everyone come and meet my pop, he's the coolest.
My neighbor in Boulder, CO. His garage burned down when his electriVolvo exploded inside. (place horse laughing picture here).
Last winter in Chicago we had a cold spell 10 below 0 , The EVs would not take a charge people were getting their cars towed.
In the 2010s we had many small fuel efficient vehicle options for everyday commuters Toyota Yaris, Mazda2, Nissan Micra, Honda Fit. You could buy them all for under $15k new and fuel costs $25/tank. In 2020s there are no small new cars but a saturation of overpriced “luxury” SUVs
people would not buy them in the numbers they should have. they were still stupidly ashamed to drive smaller cars even in 2010.
Yaris!? Like the Corvair, as Ralph Nadar labelled it, unsafe at any speed. We got one from a relative and it was scary to drive. My son wrapped it in blue and stuck a Tesla insignia on it and it sold, LOL.
I was traveling often 2012-2017. Rented whatever was cheapest. The Mazda2 was my fave. It was just a well-balanced little car.
Subaru offers the Crosstrek and Impreza. AWD and loaded under $28k for the base Crosstrek and under 25k for the Impreza. Subaru is on to something smart.
There’s a drivers training school in Sacramento ca that strictly uses the Prius Toyotas. The owner said these cars were the best cars he’s ever utilized for the students.
My friend said the wisest thing I've ever heard about electric vehicles: "Anyone who wants an electric car already owns one." Apparently, a lot of people seem to agree with him lately.
As for electric trucks, the majority of truck owners are not willing to pay more for a truck that does less while also being much more inconvenient. If I'm going to pay $120k for an electric truck then it had better be vastly better in ALL RESPECTS to a "normal" truck I can get for $75k. So far, they are not.
Maestro Kilmer could've been an orchestra conductor. The raw talent is there.
Imagine if he had followed his brother Val into acting........
Spat my drink, he had balls to address the Bud Light fiasco. Just like the new spokesman!
Agreed, thank you Scotty!!
Calling a spade a spade.
He called the people rednecks that drink bud and budlight lol
Bud Light stock is higher now.
@@betsyduane3461Yeah well they lost millions and it was hilarious
Watch when the big three declare bankruptcy because of promoting EV’s that didn’t sell.
Then watch Obiden bale them out with tax payers money.
Joe Bidens EV mandate compares to Jimmy Carter’s metric mandate. You see how that went !
Heard here in the UK in some videos on youtube driving tests that the Nissan Leaf (10 yrs old) would struggle to get 85 miles on a full charge, the battery would drop the odd 3% here & there driving ONE mile.
I look for disposal cost to consumer when the batteries are worn out. Just like tires. Can you imagine the cost !?
Worm batteries have high recycling value. Unlike tires
Wrap your mind around the cost to dispose of a nuclear reactor power plant,probably1000x construction cost and waste storage for 300,000 years is how much? But nuclear is cheap!
Actually, that’s a great idea. In fact charge a deposit on them and you have to return the battery to get it back.
The writing is on the wall man, barely anyone can afford anything.
its fiIIIIiiiiIIiiine, a few tens on millions of third worlders, more whamenz entitlement a tad more socialism all around and things will soar. i promess
Not even the wall to write on. 😮
Yet EV sales are at record highs. Inflation is lower than the 80's.
@betsyduane3461 are they at record highs because of government/ buisnesses/ institutions buying them or because of private citizens?
@@panzer00 Private citizens.
My diesel dually is a plug-in.
It's so efficient I only have to plug it in when it's very cold.
Scotty is honest takes no bribes, and loves the best two car brands Honda and Toyota
Mazda
Which are reliable
@@cactneirMazdas are fun to drive and not bad vehicles but they're generally not more reliable than Toyota or Honda.
@@jryanr2010they are more reliable.
@@jryanr2010 they are improving a lot lately though 😃
Work for a major utility company in the north east they just got a bunch of lightning pickups and electric mustangs can’t wait to see how good they are sitting outside all winter
Please update us next year please
That will make for real world testing!
Utility companies leave power lines exposed to the elements,why wouldn't they buy vehicles that do the same thing? 👁️👃👁️
Wait till they break down they have a lot of repairs and wait till the batteries goes out 30,000 bucks
Look at the videos from Chicago over the winter. Really hard to not laugh at the virtue signal brigade. Need to walk them out into the snow and leave.
A person stupid enough to buy an electric car won't know what a clutch is😂
they need to make simple things again
and i apply this to the rest of the car industry
Toyota made a simple $10,000 compact pickup, recently, but of course, you can't buy one in the USA. But you CAN buy mid-sized or above, no problem. That's how the EPA "helps" the environment!
@@harrymills2770 holy mackerel!
Definitely, start by making sex simple again. 2 genders, male into female, nothing else works well.
I just saw the Tesla Cybertruck - it looks like someone just clamped some sheet metal together!
Its so nice! There is a million on backorder
That’s a compliment.
its a tesla, thats probably what they did lol
No, that are plans for the Wartburg Transport from former GDR...... Tesla bought it for what.....
Dustbuster truck
Jim Farley is destroying Ford.
They don’t build them like they used to
Jim is saving it by keeping the V8 alive. Also he knew Carroll Shelby who would be his mentor in racing. So he is actually pretty Chad and see no reason to call him the end of the Ford motor company. To comment such a thing shows your ignorance.
@@benjaminmatute9085 That's your opinion. Don't call me ignorant just because you know absolutely nothing.

That depreciation is extreme. 13k for what now ranges 100-120k new.
Harley Davidson has lost Millions on their Electric Motorcycles..
And, they can't afford to lose Millions.

Stop buying Toyota with Turbo Engine.
@@thomaskim5008
People will learn very quickly over the next couple of years.
I did some research into this, and if you have this issue, they give you a whole new one.
Is there a perfect manufacturer out there? Anywhere?
I don't think so. Same engine in quite a few Toyota vehicles, but just these ones, and a Lexus model only built in Japan.
Hmmm, something sounds fishy in the Alabama engine plant.
All come off the same line and yet.
It's not like it is a first effort.
High tech plants all. But yet ...

@@jordanbressler728 lol
ev batteries don't last long either

Curious to know what Scotty has to say about all those new Toyota Tundras with the engines that blow up after only 7,000 miles.
He has said many times not a fan of the latest Toyota trucks.
AlahKablamo! lol
Toyota is the best vehicle you can buy. Ya?
Guess again. I bought a Corolla Cross and am keeping my fingers crossed!
4 banger/6 bangers/dual turbos. seriously? Oh and 08 weight oil.
Good grief. They ain't cheap/ and yet.

@@jordanbressler728Folks don’t want them but that’s all the manufacturers are building. Making ho with high rpm’s.
A friend of mine called me recently because he was having a hard time deciding between a plug in hybrid vs a non-plug in hybrid and wanted my two cents. I simply asked him, does your apartment even have plug in stations? Two days later when I stopped by to visit he showed me his new non-plug in hybrid. LOL
Scotty you should be the Secretary of Transportation 👍

The Ford Hindenburg would sell like firecrackers. Oh the humanity!
Bye Bye, jobs in Oakville. These suckers are never getting built.
My local Ford outfit has them stacked 3 0 ft deep. No one even looking.
What a complete climate change disaster.
The Hindenburg was dangerous because they used Hydrogen gas. It could be 100% safe from explosions if they used Helium .. Recently there was a huge shortage of Helium .. but they just found a new source.. Helium is bad for the Ozone
Scotty, you bring clarity. Thank you!
I don't know who's dumber the original owner of the Tesla or the idiots who buy the used ones 🤔
The idiots who buy the used ones
I am currently doing contract work for a company in Metro Detroit that babysits these Lightnings.
According to the Ford Master Inventory list, there are over 15k 2024 Lightnings waiting for work to be done to them before they can be shipped to dealers or are just sitting there waiting to be shipped.
There are lots with as few as 500 trucks on them, and most are dead and can't be worked on and can't be charged with the facilities to at hand.
They sit there for months waiting for something to change and nothing is changing.
Some do get moved off the lots, but at the rate it is going, there will still be trucks there in 6 months.
Few days ago I was on my delivery route and it by perhaps to be my first stop... I saw a blown up Ford Bronco sport in a parking garage next to a restaurant... Engine blew up from the front of the vehicle... Those are junk.
@@harveyhankerson8359 Damn...
I was given one as a loaner for a few days. Horrid car. That three cylinder has no business in that car! Weak and rough and rattly compared to the 2.0 in my Maverick. It got 5 mpg better in mixed driving, but who cares? Not worth it.
I very rarely can argue with Scotty, some people do not agree with his favorite brands but I worked for 30 yrs in the extended warranty business and his choices often coincide with our loss ratio statistics. 😅

When I applied at Toyota in Princeton IN it was non union.... but that was 20 years ago....
@@justinlanglais9825 Around the world, 90% of Toyota factory employees are unionized. In Japan, the talks between the automakers and unions are part of the country's broader "annual spring" wage negotiations. USA and Canadian Toyota workers are not unionized but a number of locations are voting this year (2024).
Scotty, on that EV transmission combination I have a story. A friend of mine over here in Germany bough about a decade ago a very little Toyota with e-Motor and an attached 5 gear manual shifter transmission. This car is running since without any problems, the first battery is still working cause he had it in a heated garage which was part of his business. This concept car was manufactured by a small German engineering company and guess what happened: Volkswagen bought that design and took it simply off the market.Nowadays You can't even find this car on the web, it just disappeard, but You can find Toyota announcements of 2019 § 2023, that they are planning to introduce manuel shifters with e-motor.........
Make ALL first responders go "green" and replace the entire fleets with electric vehicles and tell me that it's still a good idea. Police cars, firetrucks, ambulances, etc.
"Sorry, all vehicles are currently charging. We will be happy to respond to your emergency as soon as we have enough range."
If You Build It They Wont Come Field Of Screams .
If I remember correctly Benz Damiler and Phillips went through this Hydrogen thing decades ago. They came to the same conclusions....infrastructure was needed first.
I live in a small town (400 people) about an hour from Atlanta, the next town over has 9,500 people and when I drive to the next town 20 miles and back to my house, I end up seeing at least 5 to 10 Teslas. Probably more. There's a charging station at the next town's Target, and there are ALWAYS lines of people waiting to charge up their cars (all different brands of EVs)
China has the same problem except light-years far worse as they have so many more vehicles. Only the wealthy have "good" cars and those are Mercedes and Tesla. But those also are made in China where the average person doesn't care about "quality".
My local GMC dealer has a new Hummer EV that been sitting for months. That is an extreme low volume truck that looks like a flop.
Flop them and their floppin floppers.
Hydrogen is made with lots of eletricity, which is produced with guess what, nuclear, coal, natural gas, diesel, solar, wind?
Yeah but when the wind is blowing and too much electricity is produced, we have to stop the turbines (Germany makes us in Denmark stop them because they too have a surplus during windy periods).
During those periods it would make sense to pour the energy into making hydrogen.
But only then.
8:50 After the drive through Tennessee, come south immediately after a hurricane for a four-tire discounted replacement.
Great video.
Worst mistake Ford made was getting rid of their best seller, the Ford Fusion! And the crap Fiestas was a huge mistake.
Gives so much wisdom about cars😊. Thanks for the truth.
As I have said before a second or third car for short trips might be great for an electric car. But most don’t have a budget for multiple vehicles.
Not good for the big western states, even gas stations can be 60 miles apart
They need to bring a simple stick shift pickup trucks 💙💙 my 1st pickup truck was a Toyota in1989 and I got it brand new for 7K
They do! They will not allow it in the U.S. But, it is sold everywhere else. They have them brand new south of the border for less than 30k. Toyota Hilux
Hydrogen is nice, but makes a really big boom when things go sideways
Remember the Hindenburg----New Jersey or bust, and it did both.
So does gasoline
RUN
Hydrogen is a lot lighter than air so it buggers off upwards.
Unlike ammonia that pools at low spots and chokes people.
I love the lack of PC in this video! Pure truth... so refreshing!
I drove a Mercedes-Benz to Berlin long ago when there was East Germany. Every gallon of diesel took a liter of oil, and I would drive off in a cloud of blue smoke.
Yo, you crack me up Scotty lol love watching your videos (not just for car stuff, but for pure entterainment). Stay Groovy
If you look at some of the latet space probes, they're fired by light that comes from combustion.
A combustion light engine that uses 60% of the energy, as opposed to abot 20% now. Best of all, it has no moving parts itself, but can be hybridized to something like a 4 cyl motor.
It's even green. Since its triple the power, from the same amount of fuel, theres less air pollution.
And we have the infrastructure already in place. And then, we could also become fuel self sufficient for a change.
Sorry, no. For some reason, this completely rational proposition would be roundly rejected by the powers that be.
I see American still has a problem with throwing trash out the car window… excellent post, more information in 10min then any other MS owned programme would give in an entire year
Here's an idea: EV charging stations combined with amusement/water parks/casinos/hotels. You have a good time while your EV charges up and everyone is happy. The Toyota Marai is a hydrogen car (California, of course); I think it should have been called the Toyota Hindenburg.
but they just spent all their money on that EV.....
Maybe charging stations/bars?
Its Just like selling a Harley Davison in the winter months to 😊 a Eskimo 😊 in Northern Canada 🇨🇦 just makes no sense 😑
Indigenous people thank you very much!
Could you give me a price on one though? Might store it in my igloo. lol
Like selling ketchup Popsicles to a woman in white gloves .
A friend once told me " there is nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes." Seems it's the same for an electric.
Every time the government subsidizes an item you should ask why.
Good to see u r fit and healthy Mr Scotty boy and not claiming death or retirement just yet. Keep kicking goals big maxxy.
Incredible it's come to this point. Thanks Scotty,
I used to see a guy driving around in a homemade solar powered car. It was more like a big gokart with about 100 sqare feet of solar panels on top.
And I drove an 80 Pinto untill 97...sad!
The problem is not electric vehicles, it’s that manufacturers are selling e vehicles to do things they aren’t capable of. Electric good for small urban vehicles where range and towing capacity not so important. The tech is just not mature enough to replace all combustion engine vehicles. The damage has been done.
I bought a 2013 Mercedes GLK350 4Matic with 22,500 miles in 2020 for $15,500. Great buy!
only if it's made in Germany!

Are you going to do a video on the Tundra recall? Or did i miss u mention it already?
Yep, you guys are right, he preaches only the reality he believes: all EVs are bad and all Toyotas are good. The world of Kilmer.
@@sdcoinshooter Scotty said he doesn't like the Tundra six turbo, and that it won't hold up like the reliable V8s. It looks lie he's right. Same dislike of the Tacoma fours with the turbo.
@@sdcoinshooter He's called out the new Tundra and Tacomas with turbo engines plenty of times. Advised to get the older V8s and V6s
I keep reading articles on actual EV tests in the real world. They are always a disaster. Chargers broken or full. Cost wise cost more than gas on the super chargers. They don't charge as fast as they say they can. Range was must less in real world driving not a test track.
The Beer Company might as well say we support counterfeiting.
Honda, in Alliston Ontario, is/ was/ converting to all EV cars and a battery plant there too.
VW was/is/ building a battery plant in St. Thomas Ontario.
Lots of Ontario government money security bonds etc. are involved.
looks like we are in for a nasty/ expensive time folks.
Goodbye jobs if they don't sell or get produced. Rather doubtful at this stage of the game. In 'my opinion'
I could be wrong.
breaking the oxygen hydrogen bond with very low energy input is very easy utilizing torsion magneto dielectric method. Who'd like to learn about it?
suck/ squeeze/bang/ blow for me thank you.
That's what I thought .
I used to subscribe to a magazine called Farmshow ,with lots of nifty inventions and improvements in there ,read plenty of stories about h2o in a jar in ur car with 2 electrodes in it to separate the H from O ,supposedly it worked great.
plenty of guys mysteriously died that built their own h2o car ,the last one was security guard/ex cop Aaron Salter ( killed in a mass shooting at grocery store few years ago)from Buffalo NY that built his own h2o car with YT video .
Corporate power structure, dangerous. Like the 100mpg carburetor, he didn't last long either.
Well I took your advice or should I say suggestion, and found me a 2002 Lexus ES 300. I've had it for about 3 months and absolutely love it! It is a great car and I have no regrets. I do have a question for you, I have found some after market headlamp assemblies for as low as $150. per set of two. I have also seen a set for as high as $300. .Have you had any problems with your lite assemblies/? Also, I did have to replace the front struts on my car and got O'Redys (sp) very easy installation and thanks to your video. You do a great job on your videos. Thanks again, Fan from Bama
Hey Scotty, I would love to see you do a drive test of a Cyber truck. I really want to buy one but they have a two year backlog! Tesla can’t make them fast enough to satisfy the demand!
I figure since you are known for your unbiased and meticulously accurate reporting on the cars (and especially pickups) you evaluate, you can tell me all the pitfalls long before I will ever be able to get one.
Thanks so much,

“Oh the humanity........”
I see what you did there. But only because I’m old enough to know what the Hindenburg was
Farley brought in as a Savior. Now he has egg on his face. When he is pushed out the golden parachute will break his fall.
Ute pickup hybrid BYD is selling in Austrailia. No range anxiety.
I took your advise and got a 2015 Camry. I love it. I baby my cars. Marvel Mytery oil and oil changes every 5k miles.
Thank you Scotty
Never stop
If he does it is probably a dead battery. lol
I think the new Tesla charging station near me, so far, only has one Tesla at a time that I've seen charging at a 10 or 12 charger station. LOL
Mich governor is patting herself on the back for a bunch of battery plants opening. At this point it's like opening betamax factories in 1990.
Scotty, check out the mazda cx90 PHEV, the electric motor is sandwiched between the engine and transmission and on EV mode, the motor actually uses the transmission
they're not buying gas powered pickups either.
No one wants to haul lumber in a pickup that costs 60k!
They'd buy gas powered trucks if they didn't cost as much as a small house. It's absolute insanity.
@@tenhundredkills EXACTLY!
I would buy a new truck except for one thing-Money.
In the ever-evolving landscape of the automotive industry, it is with a heavy heart that we bid adieu to Ford, a true pioneer in the realm of transportation. This automaker, which has been a beacon of innovation and progress for decades, is now closing its doors, leaving behind a legacy that will forever be etched in the annals of automotive history.
From the very inception of this company, it was clear that they were destined for greatness. As we reflect on the journey of this remarkable automaker, we are reminded of the many milestones they achieved, the countless lives they touched, and the indelible mark they left on the world.
Though this chapter may be coming to a close, the impact of this automaker will continue to resonate for years to come. Their spirit of innovation and their unwavering commitment to excellence will serve as an inspiration to future generations of engineers, designers, and entrepreneurs. As we bid farewell to this automotive giant, we are reminded that the true measure of success is not just in the products we create, but in the lives we touch and the world we leave behind.
Farewell, Ford. Your journey may have ended, but your legacy will live on, forever etched in the hearts and minds of those who dared to dream, innovate, and drive towards a better tomorrow.
I had my Generation II Prius for 16 years and 150,000 miles. Never needed any repairs at all, not even the brakes, which on many cars will cost you all kinds of money. My new 2024 Prius Prime is a plug in hybrid, so over the last 2,500 miles has only used 3 tanks of gas and about $20 worth of electricity. Kind of the best of both worlds. Only thing I don't like is the "Big Brother" cellular connection that I Opted Out of but Toyota will not Physically Remove from my car. Otherwise an excellent car, light years ahead of my old Prius!
Today I seen something I've never seen in my life. Gas went down like 25 cents in one day weird
It’s been on a roller coaster where I am as well. Strange.

Which oil should I use? My car is nissan versa 2007 1.8 litter engine, mileage is almost 217000km, my recommended engine oil is 5w30, I want to use High millage synthetic oil. Should I use 10w30 or 5w30, It's summer time in Vancouver, but it rains a lot. The weather is mostly 9 to 17 degrees Celsius here during summer. I drive a lot like every day for 8 to 10 hrs.
Battery powered vehicles will never work out...ever.
Finally as an engineer seeing someone who gets the whole thing with hydrogen. I'm tired of explaining to people espousing hydrogen as an alternative to EV's that hydrogen is not naturally occurring in elemental form so has to be produced either by electrolysis or steam reforming of methane and when you burn it you will only get at absolute best 40% of the energy back that you put into making it and in what world does that make sense!
100% agree with you! hydrogen is a very inefficent fuel to produce or use.
Thank you. My kids think it’s a coming future for cars. Never made much sense to me and you explained why.
Maybe Pluto ? Lol.
because who doesn't love driving around an H-bomb. lol it's worse than compressed natural gas vehicles in the sense of fuel storage.
not that lithium batteries are great, if they short/ignite. but neither is any fuel.
@@Dbb27- tell me if I am wrong but I strongly suspect your kids never studied chemistry or physics and then thermodynamics as part of a degree course. Unfortunately there is a lot of information out there that is at best partial truth. I am not a raving fan of EVs but I would take EV over Hydrogen any day of the week. The problem with EV’s at the moment is simply the battery technology is incredibly expensive so if they get damaged and you need to replace them, you’re into serious money….. more than the car may be worth which then makes the cars disposable and that to me is not exactly environmentally friendly.
Heck, a few years back my daughter got a flat tire from a chicken bone. I used to drive a big truck and I got a flat from a windshield wiper blade!
Watch out for a fork in the road !!!😀😀
Scotty I bought a 7 year old SLK with 60k miles as a comfy work car for a 4 year period. Spent $4000 in maintenance and lost $6000 on the sale when I dumped it. Buy em close to the bottom of the depreciation curve and do some of the work yourself. It can work but only on the cheap ones like A class, C class, CLA, SLK, SLC, GLK.
I wish Ford would get on the made in USA, small hatchback FWD car bandwagon, BUT well built and uncomplicated, having as few computers as possible, preferably no computers, naturally aspirated inline-4 of 2.0 to 2.5L, maybe even carbureted, six-speed manual transmission with an available optional automatic, hand crank windows and manual door locks. It should be just back to basics, reliable transportation for the cash strapped consumer.
@@harveyhankerson8359 Would you even want one? I'm not sure I would want a new Tacoma, given all the extra electronic garbage they have now.

I'm driving a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0L I-6, Selec-trac 4WD with only 142K miles on it, but unfortunately it's a 🤬 California vehicle (has TWO catalytic converters & FOUR 02 sensors.). I live in southwestern Pennsylvania and I bought it used in 2014. NOW, it's having electrical issues (02 sensor errors and/or misfires, sometimes on cylinder 5 and sometimes on cylinder 6.). My mechanic is baffled. 🤔🧐😕....maybe it needs a new, main computer. 🤷♂️ I don't want to take it to a Jeep dealer because you know what they're going to say "Here, trade it on this new, $60K+ Jeep on which everything is automatic and computer controlled." 🙄
I'm RETIRED, and don't need a 🤬 car payment.
@@elultimo102 They've OVER COMPUTERIZED everything. They need to get back to basics, with as few computers as possible.
A car with no computer? 😱. Whatever would all the executives friends kids do for work?!
Hey what about all the turbo tiny engines nonody wants
