well hey you ever seen the picture of me on James Dean's grave that was taken

when I was going to graduate school at the university llinois, I was decent

looking back then and I'm a personality and my wife liked that, she knew about me

because she's three years younger than me and she lived six houses down the

street from me, so she always saw hey he's this guy riding back and forth his

motorcycle all the time, I wonder about him, so she thought it would be

intriguing to go out with me, so she did we ended up getting married, women like

things that are intriguing they also like things that are good-looking and a

lot of women do like riding around on motorcycles even though they don't

really, that scares them but they find it interesting and if you survive it well

even more that it's interesting and you survived,

Keith Andre says what do you think of a Nissan GT R okay I'm not a Nissan fan

since they merged with Renault, but the GT R is an interesting design you know I mean they

are fun to drive around and they're very expensive to fix as they break and most

guys beat the heck out of them so they do wear out and buying a used one it's a

real big chancy thing, so if you're gonna buy one of those things you really got

to have it checked out with a fine-tooth comb before you throw your money out

but they are fun to drive around in, they put on some interesting technology, really

when it was Datsun they made the first reliable dependable sports car of all

time with that 240 when they came out with the Datsun 240, it was a sports car that went quick

and didn't break and didn't leak oil and it amazed people when it first came out

it's just that now the quality's just getting kind of meh, it isn't what it used to b,e

the beast 22 says Scotty what do you think of the 1999 Chevy Camaro with the v6

3800 it has 200,000 miles but it drives nice, okay it's a v6 and it's got 200,000

miles on it, now if you're gonna buy that thing, of course you need to have a guy

like me check it out, cuz it's a sports car somebody might have beaten heck out

of it, but the 3,800 engine is really a decent engine that GM built they can

last a really long time, they're well made engines, it's a 20 year old Chevy

and it's got 200,000 miles on it, so don't give too much money for it, that'll never

be a collector's item, it's got a v6 engine the v8s were the more popular

ones, and if you can get it cheap and it runs

good now, what the heck you can have a fun little toy to play around and just don't

you know think, oh I'm gonna put a blower and turbocharger or supercharger on it

make it go faster, be happy with what it has and drive it the way that it is if you

like it, Ben 3 says what do you think of the 1.6 Geo Prizm realize that a Geo

Prizm it's pretty much the toyota corolla and those things can run a

really long time, the Geo Metro they were junk, they were that three

cylinder engines, the Geo Prizm was made with Toyota Corolla engines,

transmissions, brakes and it can run just as long as the total Corolla so, you buy

a use one in decent shape they can be a great beater car for driving around

in, August angel says my in-laws 94 Saturn SL 1.9 the motor jumps when it's

in gear, I changed all four mounts because they were bad, but it's jumping

like the mounts are bad, it jumps when it's in gear and you changed all the mounts

you make sure you got them all changed and it still jumps that means there's

only two things that can do that, one is the cv joints are worn and when you put

it in gear, they get loaded and then they clunk clunk and the other is the transmission

itself was wearing out, and I know those Saturn's and I bet 99% that it's the

transmission starting to go out, those had horrible transmissions in the things

and they cost so much money to rebuild and every time I had a customer with a

saturn and the transmission went out, no one ever fixed them because I said, okay I don't

rebuild them but let me check it, yeah definitely it's shot, and then I call up

my transmission guys and they say how much money it costs to fix and it was

always two to three times what the vehicle is worth and they junk it, they

never fixed it, because they were so complicated it cost so much to fix and

they broke all the time, so odds are it's the transmission going out, Shelley

Thomas says is there anything I can do about the melting dashboard in my 2010 Altima

Coupe ok, yeah like I say Nissan make these days you got a melting

dashboard, they can't even make plastics that can take the heat you know, you can always go

to a junkyard and buy used one, of course it's gonna melt too cuz they're all

cheaply made, there are companies that sell those dashboard covers and some of

them even have molded copies, that you just take the mold that they sell you

and it glues over the top your old one, I did that with my old 81

Toyota Corolla sr5 and it didn't look bad, it just glued right over the top of

the one cuz the old one got all warped and cracked, so if you don't mind stick that on and see

those are aftermarket so they're not gonna melt like the original one cuz they're

made out of better plastic the one that I put on that Corolla, it was 12 years later

it still wasn't cracked it was made out of better plastic, so if you never want

to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
