It's a good obsession to have. A lot of other Americans suffer from it too. And there doesn't seem to be a very effective 'antidote' for it coming from American car manufacturers. So you're not likely to see this condition going away anytime soon

[@shawnmason5290]

I was starting to suffer from that but then I got a very bitter taste on a 2010 Prius I own as well as a 2012 Prius I own called bad head gasket. It totaled both cars since they had 145 and 152,000 miles on them. It would’ve been nice if Toyota would’ve acknowledged that I was alive as a customer. I really want to buy a tundra and dump my POS F150 but I am afraid they still won’t know I’m alive. I wish Scotty would do a story on it since it starts with a very quiet two second rattle when starting up or accelerating from a stop.

[@tadghsmith1457]

@@shawnmason5290 In fairness to Scotty, the Prius isn’t his favourite car. No electric car is. The battery goes out and the electrics are difficult and expensive to repair. Still that shouldn’t affect the head gasket. Toyotas aren’t bullet proof. Especially the newer ones. They might have statistically fewer faults than say Ford or Nissan etc, but that doesn’t mean they have no faults.

At the same time as making us aware of what to look out for he also gives the alternative, as in what's a good idea to do. Like buy a Toyota :D

Your EV rant about not thinking things through is spot on. People do what is called one-stage thinking.

[@EpicFailGaming]

The opening question really hit home. I have been a repair technician for about 20 years, was trained by the US Army (33Ws what's up!!!) to approach most anything from a maintenance/repair perspective. Sooooo many people think I am super negative because I always approach anything from where I see potential issues first. It is funny even if I am trying to tell someone how great something is I will start with telling them the issues first, not to be negative but to set a baseline. Ohh well is what it is. I do fairly strongly disagree with the whole EV thing. Yes if every vehicle on the road today instantly became electric we don't have the power generation for that. but that wont happen it is going to be a slow process and we can increase power generation. It is also true that a lot of our power generation is using fossil fuels so not carbon neutral. The caveat though is even a dirty coal power plant the amount of CO2 it emits to cause a vehicle to travel a mile is less than most internal combustion engines. Sort of like going form a car that gets 25mpg to one that gets 50 mpg. Yes the latter is still an issue when it comes to CO2 emissions but it is better than the pervious one. It is also true that a 100% electric automotive industry including trucking wont stop global warming because most of our CO2 emissions come from manufacturing. EVs at best help slow the oncoming issues of global warming not stop it.

I had a 1984 dodge ram minivan until 2021 and now I have a 2008 Chevrolet cobalt ls sedan 4d that I hope will last as long as the 1984 dodge ram minivan did. Thank you Scotty, you are a big help to me.

The thing about hydrogen fuel cells is it takes electricity to make hydrogen, so it runs into the same problem. There kinda needs to be an entire infrastructure overhaul to support these new cars, will take a long time.

[@Octamed]

Three times as much electricity actually and you can't make it yourself (Solar etc)

My folks have a 2005 Honda CRV, made in Japan. Still runs like a clock, and feels as solid as it was new, and it has nearly 300k miles on it. I've also heard that German cars are very good, if they are made in Germany.

You need electricity to create hydrogen. To produce hydrogen, it must be separated from the other elements in the molecules where it occurs. There are many different sources of hydrogen and ways for producing it for use as a fuel. The two most common methods for producing hydrogen are steam-methane reforming and electrolysis (splitting water with electricity. Research is underway to develop other ways to produce hydrogen and a few include: Using microbes that use light to make hydrogen Converting biomass into gas or liquids and separating the hydrogen Using solar energy technologies to split hydrogen from water molecules

We had a war with Japan, and now we get our best cars from there. I guess taking a look at the new companies out of Vietnam is worthwhile. If they're not electric.

we just bought a 2017 Rav4 xle for $26,900 with 67,000 miles. It sold in 2017 for $25,500 wow. The only good thing about this is that we traded a troubled 2018 hyundai Sante fe in with 72,000 miles that used oil and had a broken door lock. They gave us $1,500 less then we paid for it new. I think we made a good move with the TOYOTA. Love your content keep it coming.

I want to see Scotty and his toyota on Jay Leno's garage! the banter would be epic!

AFAIK, the pads don't fit correctly on the rotor because the person that ordered the rotors (whether it be the owner, an indie shop or the Mercedes stealership) didn't order the correct size. I had the same problem on my 2013 ML350 Bluetec (diesel). Rotors were too small and I was scratching my head until I found out that I need to order the bigger rotors (I had 330mm rotors on when my model used 350mm). That was my mistake ordering them through Rockauto. My suggestion is to double check your VIN and make sure the rotors are the correct size (check parts number). Mine has the sport package (bigger rotors). Regarding my suv, well, it runs like a dream at 242 000 km (around 150 000 miles). That's not to say that I never experienced any problems. At around 130 000 miles I had to change 1 rear shock that was leaking, the alternator, a DRL and a NOX sensor. No problems before that. So it's not that bad (did all of the repairs and maintenance myself with my father). Not the most reliable car that I've owned, but far the being the worst (2008 Dodge Avanger). I change the oil every 10 000 km (6000-7000 miles). I would recommend the car if you're decent/ok with DIY. If you're doing to bring it to the stealership everytime, I wouldn't recommend it.

Buying a car in 2021/2022 is a crazy loss of money. When the chip shortage stabilizes and prices settle back down eventually your going to be so upside down and owe 10K or more than your vehicle is worth.

[@CoasterMan13Official]

I sort of have that mentality about seeing things I think are broken, and the fact I can't really fix them makes me complain about it.

[@grammyd8361]

Try being able to fix them and being in a position healthwise, that you can't! It really sucks to think like you are 35 and count the months until 70! Your world just gets smaller and smaller!

[@Tr1Hard777]

a few months ago i saw used 2008-14 chargers with 100k miles for 10-7k. Now they're 12-15k for the same criteria.

[@oldmantex374]

Stay as you are. I prefer to someone to come right at me, not take the long way around the barn!!! I find your vids very very informative. I don't want you to tell me how great this car is when it's really a junker and money pit!!! I just bought a BMW 7 series used and got a great price on it!! Still under warranty and as you point out often, will probably dump it soon as it runs out of warranty if it even acts like it is going to give me problems. Thanks for your up front and honest views and reviews!!! keep it up!!

[@jonkirkwood469]

Scotty, it takes energy to produce hydrogen, too; with either reforming or electrolysis. As the Second Law of Thermodynamics states, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

[@TheZeusJuice]

Because it's a less efficient process, it would take even more energy and "power plants" to make hydrogen than it would to just charge an equivalent EV.

[@johnrussell4425]

Making hydrogen is becoming very very efficient with the new technologies. The technologies are hidden so it's not too harm the gas and oil scam.

[@garylangley4502]

I have a question Scotty. Sometimes I have heard you say that it doesn't matter where you buy gas because the gas in an area usually comes from one refinery, and there are minimum standards for detergents, so just buy it where ever you want to. In this video, and others you have produced you say "Don't buy cheap gas" in this case because of keeping the throttle body clean. So which is it?

[@willr7169]

Bad gas in USA = old (turning to varnish) or ground water seeping into holding tanks at service station.

[@ansv3340]

Don’t buy gas at old shady gas station that is for sure, they may pour water in it or pump may suck some old rusty gunk from the bottom of the tank, .. I don’t even buy gas from BJ as they have the poorest gas over there,.. I stick to mid prices corporate gas stations, Wawa, speedway, but will not avoid Mobil, or BP, or shell if the price is good, , some of my vans have over half a million miles , and still run on original fuel system,
