It was 9 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: a bunch of long term projects. I can almost see 10 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: the back of the front fence. The back of the 11 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: front fence. Well, I can see the front of the 12 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: front fence, but on the backside I can almost see. 13 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: We're getting rid of a lot of cars this week. 14 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,319 Speaker 1: We'll put it to you that way. It's um, we've 15 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: really kind of starting to catch up. And I'm down 16 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: to the last two projects. The eighties six Ford wagon, 17 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: the full size LTD wagon or whatever it was in 18 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: eighty six that was towed in no crank, no start, 19 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: no dash lights. Some animals ate my wiring harness oops. 20 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: And they'll be getting to that in the next couple 21 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: of weeks. And see what that's all about. And the 22 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: seven months it's only been there. Let's see jam nanuary. 23 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: It came I figured with football season coming around, I 24 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: know the guy wants to take it to the Jets games. Um, 25 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: which he does. Actually, that's a true story on him 26 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: and his dad used to go to the Jets games, 27 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: and he inherit the car from his father a couple 28 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: of years ago after the father passed. I figured, well, 29 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: then again, maybe he doesn't want to go see the 30 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: Jets games. I was just thinking about that. I was 31 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: reading the article about the Jets are predicting a winning 32 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: season because they might show up at the stadium. But 33 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: um uh, in all seriousness, I'm still I'm getting to 34 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: this Chrysler. It's slowly coming around. You talk about a car, right, 35 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: how can my car go bad from sitting? Here's a 36 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: car that sat for how long did it sit? Well, Ron, 37 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: it probably sat a couple of months, a year, maybe 38 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: two years. You know, we're not really quite sure. We 39 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: just haven't driven in a very long time. The big 40 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: problem with this particular Chrysler is, and this is what 41 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: happens when car sit is right now, among all the 42 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: other things that needs tires and breaks and fluids and 43 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: so forth, is the right rear wheels. Beat sensor has 44 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,639 Speaker 1: no signal output, and they do this in a very 45 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: strange way. They do this with a magnet, a magnet 46 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: clamped to the outside band and it's looking at the 47 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: polarity as far as to generate a wheel speed signal, 48 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: and the sensor is reactive to it. And that's what 49 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: creates a a a signal for wheel speed UM based 50 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: on you know, magnetism and polarity in which way it's flowing. 51 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: I think the magnet went bad. I really do. I 52 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: can't prove it. I can't prove it yet, but I'm 53 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: working towards that and to get the axle out of 54 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 1: the rusted naurled up, corroded, calcified, beat up lower right 55 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: rear control arm and subassemblies as a project. So I'm 56 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: trying to get scientific and working way around it. UM 57 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: I purchased. We went out and we found some instructions 58 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: to test TIS break systems and incorporates an LED and 59 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: nine volt battery and some resistors and we're gonna wire 60 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: it up. We're gonna make our own tool. I bought 61 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: the parts on Amazon on last week and I'm gonna 62 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: sodder it up Monday morning and go out and start testing. 63 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: It looks for the led light to blink and see 64 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: what goes on. But the point of this conversation is 65 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: the older cars are getting tougher to fix, it seems 66 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: because they're having stranger things go wrong with them. Had 67 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: a ninety nine Mercury Grand Marquis in the shop this week, 68 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: actually for the last two weeks, and it was four 69 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: tires all is worth of restore my ninety nine Grand Marque. 70 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: I want to drive this car for a while yet, 71 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: okay um, But it still comes down to the quality 72 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: of parts and what's not there and how hard it 73 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: is to find parts. And when we were all done 74 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: with this Grand Marquis and ready to go, the front 75 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: was a little squirrelly, and we had done ball joints. 76 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: The ball joints were worn out, and there was a 77 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: bunch of other things and it had been a little 78 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: squirrely before, but now it was really ugly. And my 79 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: theory is that the newer ball joints or night some 80 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: tight and you know it takes wire for ball joints 81 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: in front end pieces to settle in. You need to 82 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: put a dredft two hundred maybe five miles on them 83 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: sometimes to get things to loosen up and and and 84 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: stretch and sort of take a seat uncertain older cars. 85 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: But the problem with this one is the steering box. 86 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: The steering box isn't what it should have been, and 87 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: you know, wasn't exactly a little bit ago, and you 88 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: need to go and find a steering box. And a 89 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: lot of the aftermarket rebuilders, in my opinion, just aren't. 90 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: They're just not great. And I don't know if it's 91 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: that they don't have the cores, they don't have the 92 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: rebuildable parts to how many times can you rebuild the 93 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: steering box for a ninety nine crown vic? I mean 94 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: it's some of the hard parts, not the shim's, not 95 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: the seals, not the soft pliable things. You know those 96 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: can be replaced, But but the hard parts themselves, the 97 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: spool and the sector and all the internal metal parts. 98 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: How many times can you rebuild those things? They do 99 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,679 Speaker 1: get aware to them, they do get to the point 100 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: where you know they're they're they're just worn out. So 101 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: it's got this issue where you go down the road 102 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: and if you just sit there and you're you kind 103 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: of like mind melted. You can feel the steering way 104 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: when you turn to the left, it's a little lighter 105 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: to the left, and it is to the right, it's 106 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: a little, just a little, just just a touch. So 107 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: you know, what are we gonna do with this. We've 108 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: got to give this guy back his car. He understands. 109 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: He's a very understanding customer. He gets it. Um, you know, 110 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: he just he just do the best you can. It's 111 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: always do the best you can. And I really, I 112 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: really appreciate that in somebody. I really do, because it's 113 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: very difficult today in some cars and some applications. Turns out, 114 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: I said, you know, let's go back to basics. Let's 115 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: throw the numbers away for the alignment. What if we 116 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: take some castor out castor is steering access inclination or 117 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: steering angle and it it basically if you think of 118 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: the center line of of a bicycle wheel as you 119 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: turn the bicycle wheel, is that center line where the 120 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: axle studies or where the acxle, where the nuts are 121 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: that hold the wheel to the frame. As that changes 122 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: in relation to its position in the air, you're you're 123 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: changing steering angle, you know, as the fork changes as 124 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: it as it rotates left and right. So I took 125 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: some castor out of the car. I I put it 126 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: back to zero. It was well over four degrees and 127 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: I put it back to zero just to see what 128 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: it was. You know, it wasn't perfect, but it got 129 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: to be a lot better. And that's the point of 130 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: this opening conversation that sometimes you're faced with some trade 131 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: offs repairing older cars. Sometimes it has to be you know, 132 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: I can't get apart. What am I gonna do to 133 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: you know? How how do I got to fix this? Um? 134 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's an imperfect world that we live 135 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: in when it comes to automobiles, and they're they're very 136 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: difficult to get along with. Sometimes it's like your relatives 137 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: of the holidays. You just don't want to, you know, 138 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: deal with it. But you've got to. You've got to 139 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: face up to it. You got to fix the car 140 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: in front of you, and you can't get aggravated about it. 141 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: Danny was doing a throttle body cleaning the other day 142 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: on a on a Ford Mustang, and we use snakeheads 143 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: to clean throttle bodies and they're like these little pink, 144 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: poofy cotton balls on the end of a plastic stick 145 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: that's designed just to do this job, well, I guess. 146 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: And the nice thing is with it with a snakehead 147 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: from the folks that at run right as you can 148 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: actually sit there and you can go way down the throat. 149 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: It's like a giant Q tip. Stick up, stick, open 150 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: your mouth and say oh, and you can ram this 151 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: Q tip down the throat of the intake and you 152 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: can get out a lot of contaminant, all right, you 153 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: can really clean the thing out. So Danny scrubbing away 154 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: and scrubbing away and scrubbing away, and he pulls the 155 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: tampon out, the the the Q tip out and there's 156 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: no there's no cotton ball on the end of it. 157 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: It's in the motor. Like oh, so, like, now where 158 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: do we go? How do we get this out? What 159 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: do we do with this? And it was kind of 160 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: funny because Danny's friend Adam had stopped by, and Adam 161 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: works in a repair shop. He's sort of like the 162 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: shop puppy over there. He's the he's the he's the gopher, 163 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: the guy Friday, and he just watched us, you know, 164 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: work our way around it and sneak something down there 165 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: and pull it out, and you know, and Adam looked 166 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: at Danny. After we were all done, I heard I'm saying, 167 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: how come your boss didn't yell and get aggravated? And 168 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: I turned around and I said, Adam, I can hear you. 169 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: I'm not that old, you know. Um. The truth is, 170 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: Adam getting mad about trying to fix a car that's 171 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: a problem doesn't solve anything. You still got to fix 172 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,559 Speaker 1: the broken car in front of you, and that's really 173 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: what it's all about. And I looked at him and 174 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: I said, you know, fixing cars is a lot like life. 175 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: You gotta deal with the problems that come along, and 176 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. But as long 177 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: as you learn from each and everyone, then you're ahead 178 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: of the curve, along with more people swear by you 179 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: than at you. You're winning every day. Eight five zero 180 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: nine zero zero running Nating the Car Doctor. Cruising back 181 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: right after this, Welcome back, Nating of the Car Doctor. 182 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: Five five five zero nine nine zero zero is the 183 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: phone number. Give us a call, leave a message. If 184 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: we're not here, motorhead Matt, we'll call you back. And 185 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: interesting to see how people are testing motorhead Matt's extensive knowledge, 186 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: extensive knowledge of the automobile. It was very heartwarming to 187 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: see the next up and coming protege to the car 188 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: doctor motorhead, Matt. Give him a call. You can talk 189 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: to him and find out how much he really knows. 190 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: That'll be a short conversation. Let's go and talk to 191 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: Chris and Ohio two thousand one Volkswagon cabrio and some problems. 192 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: Well a used car, Chris, what did you buy here? 193 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: I bought at two other one cabrio? Um? I looked 194 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: up on the Kelly blue Book value thirty seven. It's 195 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: working right, right? Would you pay for this? Okay? So 196 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: you got what you paid for now, that's right. So 197 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: what what what does this do or not do? Well? 198 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: When I went down there to get it, um, I 199 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: asked him. I said, as a drive okay? He said, yeah, 200 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: I trest fine. I drove on the highway. Well, I 201 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: live close to Dayton, Ohio. Picked it up in Cincinnati, Ohio. 202 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: So from Cincinnati to Dayton going about on the highway 203 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: at three thousand or m. Because the Witnes shift gears, 204 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: do you think do you think it was first gear 205 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: or third gear? It I'm thinking it was third. It's 206 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: real slow to take off, right, Yeah, it's it's it's 207 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: It's kind of like when you got your ten speed. 208 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: See I'm dating myself. It's kind of like when you 209 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: got your ten speed and you start out in fifth gear, 210 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: in that middle gear right. Um, in my day, bicycles 211 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: only had ten speeds. You guys, now you know speed, 212 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: thirty speed? You know rocket ship rocket propulsion on the 213 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: back of your bike. Um, you know, so surprised nobody's 214 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: invented a flying bicycle yet. Um so any dashboard warning 215 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: lights on? No? Um we ran were My dad have 216 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: code readers of all sorts and its threw up transmission 217 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: code something about short circuit solenoid b Okay does it? 218 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: Does it? Does it sound like P zero seven fifty 219 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: three seven fifty eight shifts solenoid B, SI solenoid c uh, 220 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: shift solenoid D and all that yep oki dok So. 221 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: The deal here is this could be a wiring harness 222 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: issue leading up to and inclusive of inside the transmission 223 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: in the valve body area. This could be shifts solenoids, 224 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: This could be the trans so you know, some real 225 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: intense diagnosis has to be made here. Um, the internal 226 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: solenoids in the trans do go bad? Does the alternator 227 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: happen to look new or newer by chance. Um, I 228 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: haven't looked at it, and the real the read well. 229 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: The reason I asked that is because, believe it or not, 230 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: quite often the alternator goes bad on this particular model. 231 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: It causes an overcharging condition and it pops the solenoids 232 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: in the trans hmm. So at least it gives you 233 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: a you know, it doesn't solve your immediate problem, but 234 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: it just gives you a little bit of history of 235 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: how you got here. How many miles are on the car? 236 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: That's a questionable part. Well, I thought, I thought this 237 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: was all questionable. Get up on the title he told 238 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: me to put. He thought that I had a hundred 239 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: seventy seven thousand miles, So that's what I put on 240 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: the title. But I looked up on like the past 241 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: titles that the vehicle's had, and it's at a hundred 242 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: forty five and then the dash of a hundred four. 243 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: Holy cow. So it's interesting. Let me let me ask 244 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: you this are you did you buy this because you're 245 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: trying to make it reliable? Is this gonna be? Yeah? Yeah, 246 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: yeah it's gonna be. I have a my other car 247 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: with two thousand and five accurate t L. I've actually 248 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: called you guys about that in the past, and I 249 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: missed your guys phone call U. Is this gonna be like? 250 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: Is this gonna be like the winter car when you 251 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: want to keep the accurate away? It's gonna be my 252 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: commuter car. Right now, I got the t L up 253 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: to two one thousand miles. I'm trying to cut down 254 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: the miles on it, and uh do something that's gonna 255 00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: be I don't really care if it breaks down, you 256 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: know what I mean? You just take the plates off 257 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: and walk away. Um, and you've got the car look 258 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: plates in hand, You're already done. Uh yeah, I know. 259 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: I knew it would need work when I got it. 260 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: I just I'm trying to debate because I've talked to 261 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: people about a Hunu Volkswagens and they say that the 262 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: automatic transmissions carbage. You should do a swap on it. 263 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: And I don't know what all that entails. I would 264 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: tell you, if you I would tell I would tell 265 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: a deal like this, all things considered being equal, chances 266 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: are the end the engines, and those are generally fairly strong. 267 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: Al right, Oh yeah, the engine runs like a top 268 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: right now? Which engine is this? Is this? Is this 269 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: a one? A to two? Oh? It's a two? Oh? 270 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: If this is this a belt motor? Yeah, make sure 271 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: And I wouldn't trust anybody's but I would definitely you know, 272 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: before when you get this back on the road or 273 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: get it on the road, you know you want to 274 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: do a timing belt in the water pump and all 275 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: the usual good stuff there, just because you don't want 276 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: to take anybody's word for it. Um. Also also keep 277 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: in mind this is probably a plastic impeller water pump car, 278 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: so you want to make sure you uh, you know, 279 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: you replace that when you do the belt as well, 280 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: so you don't have any overheat issues. The plus about 281 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: of Volkswagen is that the engines are are really a 282 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: really great example of German engineering. They really are well made, 283 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: all right. You know, we've we've pulled the heads on 284 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: those at a hundred thousand miles for various reasons, and 285 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: you'll still see the cross hatch in the cylinder walls. 286 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: You know, there's there's negligible where in the cylinders. They 287 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: look great, all right. So the engine, provided it hasn't 288 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: been really abused, we'll probably last a long time. Okay, 289 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: no promises, but you're you're you're probably in good shape. 290 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: The question you've got to the side is do you 291 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: want to put a trans in this? Because at a 292 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: hundred and I don't know, twenty four sixty six seventy 293 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: seven thousand miles hike right? Uh you know, do you 294 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: know toss a coin? It's you know, what do you 295 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: want to do? You know? Is it? Is it? It's 296 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: it's easily three to five grand to put a trans 297 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: in one of those Uh you know, are you're gonna 298 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: it ten times which you paid for the car into 299 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: the car? Or or do you want to make it fun? 300 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: So do you want to find a loaner car or 301 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: a donor car? Rather think you know something something with 302 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: a stick and marry the two together. That's what I 303 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: was thinking. I've seen a couple of five and six 304 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: ft jets are the same year go up around me 305 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: for about bucks. I just did. I just don't know 306 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: what's swappable or where I can go to see what? 307 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: What is conversion? Ready? Well, I think when you're trying 308 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: to do a conversion, since you've got an O one cabrio, 309 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: you probably want to try and find another oh one Cabrio. 310 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: It's gonna it's it's gonna make life easier, all right. 311 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: You know the other side of this becomes it's only 312 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: you're only into this foreign and fifty dollars worth, so 313 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: you're not gonna take that much of a beaten all right. 314 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: You know, I would, I would consider your next move 315 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: very careful. You know, you could go out and prove 316 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: and I could surely send you some tests regarding you know, 317 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: resistance values on the solenoids. But I think all it's 318 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: gonna prove is that you either need a solenoid, a 319 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: wiring harness, or a trans and in which case you're 320 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: gonna end up putting either a stick in it or 321 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: just replacing the car, because how can you put such 322 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: big money into a car that you've got such bad 323 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: service history. You know, cars are like real estate. Your 324 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: first loss is your best loss, and sometimes you want 325 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: to cut your losses brother and just and and just 326 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: sort of move on. Um. So you know, let's let's 327 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: let's say it like that.

Hi, Susie, 354 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: how are you welcome to the car doctor? How can 355 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: I help? And great a couple of questions. I'm really 356 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: not having any problems. I told you a call screener. 357 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: I've never driven a car that has a hundred thousand 358 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: miles on it, and I know these cars can go 359 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: along her. I just I'm I've got to put some 360 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: money into this car because it needs a hundred dolls 361 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: a mile, you know, check up, which is a thousand dollars. 362 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: I'm gonna need new tires before we get snow. Probably 363 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: got muffler coming. So I'm looking at three grand, probably 364 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: in the next couple of months putting into this car. 365 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: And I'm just wondering, what, you know, where that cut 366 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: off point where you look at a new car where 367 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: you still have some trade in value and and I 368 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,719 Speaker 1: like the car. It's been a great car, you know. 369 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: So I think cars are a lifestyle, to be very 370 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: honest with you, and I think it's a matter of 371 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: you know, dollars and cents, you know s E N 372 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: S and what makes sense, and in terms of what 373 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: you can afford, I think I think all that has 374 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: to be considered if if, and it also depends on 375 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: where you go and how you're driving. If if Susie's 376 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: an emergency room nurse working overnight, since she's getting out 377 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: of work at two in the morning. I always think 378 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: about that in terms of telling some to stay in 379 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: a car longer, because funny things happen at two o'clock 380 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: in the morning on dark roads on winter nights, and 381 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: you want somebody safe. Cars are very important to me 382 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,479 Speaker 1: in that sense, you know. I always believe that when 383 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: I'm working on somebody's car, it's got to be as 384 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: safe as if my mom or my wife and my kids, 385 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: you know, are riding in that So that being said, 386 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: a hundred thousand miles really is half life on a 387 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: lot of cars today, It really is. It really depends 388 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: on what sort of maintenance and how good and how 389 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: correct the maintenance has been done up to this point. 390 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: Here's that conversation about oil change intervals. This it always 391 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: seems to start here, and I'm trying I'm not trying 392 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: to incur anybody's wrath, but I'm gonna tell you my 393 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: personal experience and things that I hear when I go 394 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: to seminars, and I listened to other texts, and other 395 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: dealerships and other manufacturers. We'll talk about Toyota. I have 396 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: a very good friend who is a service manager of 397 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: a local Toyota dealership. We go to lunch or i'm sorry, 398 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: dinner two, three or four times a year, whenever our 399 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: schedules allow. As a matter of fact, I'm due to 400 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: go to a dinner with Tony in September sometime, and 401 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: this conversation will probably come up again. In the conversation 402 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: we had the last time. Was his words. He brought 403 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,479 Speaker 1: it up. He said, you know, we made a mistake 404 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: when we extended the oil change interval out to seven 405 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: to ten thousand miles on these cars. And I said, 406 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 1: how calm And he said, well, because you know, they're 407 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: good for the first sixty seventy thousand miles, but then 408 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: you can see that as they get older and the 409 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: oil tends to get more beat up, and it gets 410 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: it gets, you know, it gets a little bit stretched thin. 411 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: Towards the end of the life. People get used to 412 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: seven thousand mile intervals and then they go to eight 413 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: and they go to nine, then they go to ten, 414 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: then they go to eleven. And you can see these 415 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: engines now are starting to have oil consumption issues. The rings, 416 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: the rings are sticking. They've got a lot of you know, 417 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: they've made internal changes to the engine for better fuel economy, 418 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: and some of those changes are coming back to bite Toyota. 419 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: You know. It's it's it's thinking in terms of a 420 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: ring slipping on. Don't know if your finger easily, you're slipping. 421 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: I don't know if your finger or hard um. You know, 422 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: it's got a float like it slips. I don't know 423 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: if your finger easily. But the oil gets gummy and 424 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: it tends to stick like that ring on your finger, 425 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: and you have to put a little you know, a 426 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: butter or hout it to get it to slide off 427 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: type of a problem. And and that gumminess tends to 428 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: affect how the engine works and whether or not it 429 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: burns oil. You know, have you been doing oil changes 430 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: on this problem every five thousand and see it? And 431 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 1: and to me, that's going to come back to be 432 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: your savior at this point, because here you are at 433 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: a hundred thousand miles and whatever you spent extra and 434 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: oil changes is now going to promote the life of 435 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 1: this car. So for the thousand dollars, what is it 436 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: that they want to do at this mileage for a 437 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: thousand dollars? You know, well, it's you know, it's like 438 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: trained in sixty dollars to change spark clubs, transmission fluid 439 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: and a couple other you know fluids, that differential fluid maybe. 440 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: And so that was the second part of my question. 441 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: Is you know there's no warranty on it. It can 442 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: I is it this the time maybe to take it 443 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: to a good local shop instead of the dealer, or 444 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: is you know this car better at the dealership because 445 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: that's all they do is you know, these Indians, you 446 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: know what? You know what the you know, you know 447 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: what the real honest answer is, Susie, there's there's idiots 448 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: and all kinds of repair shops all right. There's there's 449 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: there's incompetence. There's incompetence everywhere, all right. You know, sometimes 450 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: I think I'm not really that good of a mechanic. 451 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: I just try, like heck every day, like so many 452 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: other people out there, and I put my best foot forward. 453 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: But there are so many people out there that just 454 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: don't care, and you know, there's there's stevery and deception 455 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: and all trades and practices. I've been in this business 456 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: most of my life and I've seen it all. So 457 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: I think it's about the relationship, all right. I think 458 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: that if you have a good relationship with that Toyota dealership, 459 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: that if you call up there and you've had the 460 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: same service writer for the past couple of years and 461 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: they know, hey, it's Susie with the Venza, you know, 462 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: and they've got your back, I think that's where you stay. 463 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think you change over price. 464 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: I think you change over you know, discomfort. I don't 465 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: think it's about how cheap the car is repaired. I 466 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 1: think it's about how thorough and how correct. And you know, 467 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: to me, I don't have the warm fuzzies, so it uh, 468 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: I think it might be time for me to actually change, 469 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: you know. I think you know, and the warm fuzzies 470 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 1: are exactly what you're looking for, all right, you know. Uh, 471 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: It's it's funny. I started texting in the shop. I'll 472 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: tell you the story this way.

One of 493 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: them is a is a lawyer, the other is a doctor, 494 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: and and the third one is is usually a mechanic 495 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 1: or or somebody that you know work with their hands, 496 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: that can fix things around the house, that type of 497 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 1: a thing. You need those kind of relationships to survive 498 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: in the world today. And you've got to have a 499 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: mechanic that you can have a cup of coffee conversation 500 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: with that you can walk in and say, hey, here's 501 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: my card a hundred thousand miles. What do you reasonably 502 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: think it needs? What's it gonna cost? I just want 503 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: to get some idea of a budget. What do I 504 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: need to do today, what do I need to do tomorrow? 505 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 1: What can I expect you know, a year from now? 506 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: And no crystal ball, no guarantees. Just give me your 507 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: best educated guests based on your time in the business. 508 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: My last comment to you, sus is going to be, 509 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: let's say you spend this three thousand dollars on the car, 510 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: all right, and four months from now, for whatever reason, 511 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: the trans pops and it's four grand to put a 512 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: trans in the car. What would you do? I don't know. 513 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: At that point. I probably spend the extra four you know, 514 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: hoping right, and chances are you would, all right. The 515 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: the easiest way to decide about replacing a car, in 516 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 1: my opinion, is to go out shopping for a new one. 517 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 1: It will cure you of everything that ails you either 518 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: that or will make you say, you know what, I 519 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: can really afford that? You know, it's it's it's forty 520 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: dollars and seventy two monthly payments. I can't really afford this, 521 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: you know. I've only got to put ten thousand down 522 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,959 Speaker 1: and then I've got, you know, seventy two or sixty 523 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: months worth of payments. And I can afford that. Because 524 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: where this conversation start, I said, cars are a lifestyle, right, 525 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: and it's it's it's it's a comfort thing, you know, 526 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: but you've still got to have that relationship with the 527 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 1: mechanic because sooner or later. Listen, the reason I never 528 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: go to the auto show in New York and it's 529 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 1: it's it's a half hour from me. I never go 530 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: to the the auto show at jab It's. People say, 531 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: why not? I said, because I go in there. Everybody 532 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: gets all excited. Here's all the new, best, shiny old 533 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: boys in this need. You know when I look at YEP, 534 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: five years that'll be broken, that'll be broken, that'll be broken. 535 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: It's it's all the same stuff. There's nothing there that's 536 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: new and exciting. They haven't reinvent. They're just trying to 537 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: reinvent the same thing they've had for the past thirty years. Um. 538 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: I look at everything as sooner or later it's got 539 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: a break and and and to me, you've got to 540 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: have that relations with somebody to fix it when it does. 541 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: All right, Susie, I wish you the best. I hope 542 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: that I hope that helps you. I hope that does 543 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: it for you.

Hey, welcome back, Rona nading the car 548 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: Doctor taking the I don't know. Is this the morning train? 549 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: This is the Car Doctor train. This is and off 550 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: we go at a zero nine zero zero. You know, 551 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: I hate to bring this up again because this this 552 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 1: subject is kind of we haven't really talked about this 553 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: in a while. Somebody sent me a great article. Um, 554 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: the future is in the air. It's a car, it's 555 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: a plane, it's both at e a a air venture 556 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 1: out in Oshkosh. I thought, osh Gosh, was those kids 557 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: cover roles that they made for the you know osh 558 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: gosh oshkosh pagosh osh gosh. It's not the Jetsons. But someday, 559 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: perhaps sooner rather than later, flying cars will be as 560 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: common as both cars and planes. Commuters stuck in rush 561 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: hour traffic always think, if I only had a plan, 562 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: I could be there by now. Well, yeah, provided you 563 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: could fly, um, provided you know, and then all the 564 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: you know other questions. The article goes on plenty of 565 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: pilots flogged by bed weather, which they could just drive 566 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: their plane where they need to go. So you see 567 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: this is gonna be The grist is not always greener. 568 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: On the other side, I can see it coming. It's 569 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: not surprising the companies and entrepreneurs have tried to invent 570 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 1: a commercially viable flying car for decades. Still few vehicles, 571 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: the article goes on to say, are actually flying and 572 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: driving today, and not a rolling off an assembly line anywhere, 573 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: but at e a a air venture or engineers and 574 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: dreamers come to show up their ideas. A few prototypes 575 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: are on display as an initiative by rides sharing company 576 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: Uber to move people around by air instead of car. 577 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: See I think Uber is the key to this. You've 578 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: got to have deep pockets to pull off something like this, 579 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: And I think what these inventors are doing up there 580 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: is trying to convince uber what they're exactly capable of. 581 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: One fellow here, um, Sanja dal If, I'm saying that right, 582 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: founder of Detroit Flying Cars, has created a car where 583 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: the he's patented technology that telescope telescope turn and lock 584 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: the wings that compress into the front and back of 585 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: the two seed vehicle when it's on the road. He 586 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: hasn't cope with the price because he's still testing the vehicle, 587 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: which will feature an electric engine for driving. Here's the 588 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: answer to that question we had folks about, you know, 589 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: will it run on octane fuel and so forth? But 590 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: it will feature an electric engine for driving and an 591 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: aviation engine for flying, with a flight cruising speed of 592 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: a d miles an hour and a range of four 593 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: indre miles. Sam boast Field bo U S F I. E. L. D. 594 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: Boast Field, CEO of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania based Samson Motors, this 595 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: week talked up his car plane hybrid, better known as 596 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: the Switchblade because the wings fold underneath the vehicle like 597 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: a knife. I guess the big problem here is what 598 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: do you do with the wings, you know, and think 599 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: about it. You've got to make a car that flies, 600 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: You've got to have a place to store the wings. 601 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: The wings have to come out, and they can't fall 602 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: off obviously when you're in the air, because then that 603 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: would be a problem. Um, he's come up with what 604 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: he's claimed is the world's first flying sports car. But 605 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: the real issue is, to me, it's gonna be cost 606 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: in dollars in safety. And Uber goes on in the 607 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: article discusses the fact that, you know, we all want 608 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: to be in flying cars, but we've got to have 609 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: the area and the wherewithal to take off. You know, 610 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: we've got to have the where's the runway gonna be? 611 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do. We're gonna be on route 612 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: to a weight north and in in Bergen County, New Jersey, 613 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: and we're just gonna get to the straight part. And 614 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: you know it's I mean, how bad would you freak 615 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: out if you're on a long stretch of flat road 616 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: and the car in front of you the wings pop 617 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: out and buying off it goes. I mean, that's got 618 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: to be the craziest thing in the world. And then 619 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: are we gonna do this at night. Are we gonna? 620 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: Are we gonna land at night? A night landing? I 621 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: just don't see it. You know. Uncle Steve said a 622 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: plane is only as good as the pilot flying it right. 623 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: And he would always talk about how you've got to 624 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: get into an airplane and try this the next time 625 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: you're flying. When you get into the airplane, you know, 626 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: everybody's standing in front of you, and they're greeting you. 627 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: When you walk on, and you see the flight attendants 628 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: and and you see the captain. Talk to the captain 629 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: a minute. I asked everybody to do this, talk to 630 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: the captain. We did this way. We went to Vegas 631 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and to drove everybody knuts. 632 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: We always got up to the captain. I'd say we 633 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: talked about the flight and this and that, and I'd say, 634 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: who's the best pilot, you know? And he says, I am. 635 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: And that's the catch. You've got to think you're the 636 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: best pilot up there. You know. I've got people that 637 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: come into the shop all day long and they go, 638 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: you know, I hate cars, I'm really not a great driver, 639 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: and now we're gonna let them fly. You know, what's 640 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: that all about? Are you a great pilot. No, I'm 641 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: a I'm a terrible driver, but I'm a better pilot 642 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: because there's less things that hit in the air. Yeah. Sure, 643 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: until it lands on my head anyway, We'll see where 644 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: that goes. I just wanted to let you know that 645 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: E a a venture out in Oshkosh that really is 646 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: um it's it's really gonna happen flying cars. Here we 647 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: go again, zero nine nine zero zero. I'm gonna pull 648 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: over and take a pause, but I'm doing this on 649 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: the ground. I'm Rona Nading the car Doctor. We're back 650 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: right after this. Hey, Rona Nading the car Doctor. Rolling 651 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: along here at zero nine nine zero zero. A quick 652 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: comment about scan tools. I was speaking to the mactool 653 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: guy this week and we were talking. He's repping another 654 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: line of scan tools. I don't know, something made in Italy. 655 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: It works on Maserati's Ferraris, all the high end sports cars, 656 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: all the all the you know, all the exotics. And 657 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: they were thinking of getting into the US market and 658 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: you know, starting to work on Ford and Chrysler and 659 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: GM and so forth. And I told Greg, I said, 660 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: you know, you've got to understand the scan tool market. 661 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: I think it's it's limited at this point in the game. 662 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: I really think that there's less for there's less shops buying, 663 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: there's less shops out there, all right. I think the 664 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: number of repair shops is declining. But I also think 665 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: that by now most repair shops. You know, this is 666 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: like um Back in the fifties and the sixties, GM 667 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: figured if they got people locked into their cars, they 668 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: would work their way up the line and eventually on 669 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: a Cadillac, but they stayed with the GM brand. I 670 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: think the snap On guys are staying with snap On. 671 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: The Launch guys are staying with Launch. The OTC guys 672 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: are staying with OTC. You know. I think it's really 673 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: hard to make market penetration. It will be interesting to 674 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: see where in the next couple of years, with all 675 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: the changes in technology, what company can afford to develop 676 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: a better scan tool and actually put it into the 677 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: hands of a technician at a price that allows both 678 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: the shop and the company selling it make a profit. 679 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm watching scan tools. Let's see where it goes. Until 680 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: the next time. I'm Ronanadian the car doctor, reminding you 681 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
