### **Auto Scams You Need to Be Aware Of**
If you watch my video on scamming people auto scams here's an auto scam that I didn't know about one of your viewers Darl Melville told me about it. People in my area use a plastic bottle they wedge it on your tire so when you drive forward or backwards depending on where they put it you hear a crunching sound. Then you think you ran over something and you put it back looking panic and then they hop and drive your car away. You know you got to be sharp when you're around. You hear little crunching noises and don't get out of the car look behind you you see a plastic bottle out was just a plastic bottle make sure your windows are rolled up and locked because if something's playing like this they're obviously sleazy balls somebody will start doing it more and more and more maybe this is a limited area where he lives but hey you run over something just look behind you you see bottle is a plastic bottle right don't fall for any of these scams that let people get in your car.
And another person said I don't know if anybody's actually done this but they joke about they put a $5 bill on your windshield. You reach over to grab it and they steal your car. Well one guy said some people might even be putting poison on these bills you touch the bill and you die then they steal your car so maybe it's a good idea not even to touch the money if you think there's money. They just say what the hell you going to get with five bucks these days? Nothing right. Just turn the windshield wipers on let it fly away who cares you know you only get a gallon and a half of gasoline why even bother reaching over for peanuts change if you're putting your life and your valuables at risk cuz somebody decided to try to fool you by putting money on your windshield or by putting empty bottles plastic bottles in front behind your tire so they make a crunchy noise look around and you hear a noise yet go a little further look back you see the plastic bottles there oh well and away you go. And especially if you look back and see plastic bottles and some sleazy characters standing around looking at you well you know Elon must said yeah I'm making a cyber truck people are going to buy well they aren't yet because their launch is delayed by two things battery range and the stainless steel body at problems that they're having like I said I guess the guy watched Back to the Future too much and he thought DeLorean he's going to make it out of stainless steel well maybe he didn't realize stainless Steel's relatively heavy right it's going to probably weigh over 3 tons well over 6,000 lb and a course the range is going to be less because it weighs more they having problems with the batteries they're having problem with the stainless steel body the guy just comes up with these ideas flippantly and then Engineers have to put them into a reality and it's not working out too well you still can't buy a cybertruck let's see as of this video October they were supposed to be delivering these things in September that still hasn't happened they've already given up with a bulletproof glass and now the engineers are scrambling to try to make the vehicles lighter because the stainless steel bodies way more I can't wait on the things actually come out if they ever do because they're using stainless steel one of the big problems with the DeLorean were they made cheap stainless steel. Stainless steel is the steel that's made with a certain percentage of nickel right nickel's expensive so they didn't use enough and a lot of these Deloreans ended up rusting so the stainless steel tests I can't wait till they come out and they start rusting I will be laughing howling my rear ends off if they start making these Tesla cyber trucks with stainless steel then they go up north in the salt in the winter and they start rusting. I would just be laughing my rear end off.

Well let me tell you about this one I can't wait on the things actually come out if they ever do because they're using stainless steel one of the big problems with the DeLorean were they made cheap stainless steel.

### **Tesla Leasing Strategies: What You Need to Know**
Tesla's got a really low leasing price their model three they can pay as little as 250 bucks a month now I had a guy bring me the Volvo electric car and they wanted 750 bucks a month the lease that Volvo well the model 3 now they've lowered it to 250 bucks a month why so low because they can't sell them and they want to reach certain milestones and leasing on their little bean counting counts as the car that's been sold even though it's not really sold but it counts as a unit produced and then sold to people. Now of course there are all kinds of asteris Numero Uno it's a 4500 down payment so that's 4500 bucks so yeah add that each month too that's a lot of money too right so you got that plus you can only drive 10,000 miles a year or you pay extra and it's only a two-year contract for two years plus you can't buy it back you can't keep the car at the end of the contract so there's a lot of if hands and butts on it. The point that he's lowered it to 250 a month shows you hey he wants to get those things out there he's lowered the prices of the cars now he's really dropped the prices of the leases cuz he wants to get all these numbers out there a lot of it has to do with how he can cash in to keep a stock value high right I mean it's not something that's sustainable you can't make a car to cost that much and lease it for 250 she like I said the Volvo they wanted 750 bucks a month to lease it right you can see something squirly going on with Tesla to try to keep his numbers up lower in prices given these weird leases that make it look like he's selling more when he's not really selling them they're leasing them but you know how that goes as they say there's lies there's damn lies and their statistics so the statistics of how many cars were sold is often kind of misleading situation you get into numbers you can prove just about anything but in this case he's lowered the price quite a bit so Jo Ure things are shaking down at Tesla not all Mr. Guru little said Scotty what are your favorite car programs well you know the only one I really like is the old Top Gear the old Top Gear the English guys right I like them and now they do The Grand Tour on Amazon I like those guys they're funny the American version I think is a piece of crap you know and they had Hollywood stars and crap on it was garbage right I like the three English guys still they got some funny stuff to say you know it's let's face the facts other than that I really don't why all that much I spend my time fixing cars analyzing cars I don't spend my spare time on it so but I will watch those guys they're funny plus they know a lot about the car industry too.

### **Car Maintenance Tips from Scotty**
Shadow man say Scotty why does my 2011 Accord starter only make a quick whirling noise when it's cold outside all right well they're electric motors and as they age electricity doesn't like cold or weather and it will be worrying because the bearings are probably worrying a little bit but he I had a car like that it Wen in the winter didn't were in the summer and it went three or four years before it finally broke and I had to replace the starter so you know what the heck if it still starts who really cares you know the bearings do wear out inside but like I say if it starts in the summer doesn't even make the noise the wear is so small as long as it starts the car H who cares.
Sports sc05 says Scotty how do I stop cylinder deactivation on my 16 GMC 5.3 thanks all right you can there's various kits you can buy some of them you just plug them into the OBD ports I really don't believe in those cuz the OBD Port is not made to be plugged in the whole time you're drive it it's for Diagnostic only really but there's lots of kits you can Google it online and if you have a trusted mechanic just pay him to do it he'll know what kits are good and he can install it and then your engines won't wear out as fast you get a little bit worse gas mileage but hey the engine will last longer JK Turtles say Scotty should I get a 2010 to 14 Ford Mustang V6 or 20 15 to 21 EcoBoost L4 all right I will get the V6 by far those inline fours are horrible engines as the age they're turbocharged they're EcoBoost they have GDI pressure in them they wear out I've seen those engines break as little as 65,000 miles they are not good in the long run and you're talking about getting a used one right might have had the heck beat out of it and it'll be even worse than if it was even taken care of I have customers that own those that took care of them like Fanatics and they still fell apart before their time so if you're buying a used one and a previous owner didn't maintain it it's going to fall apart even faster the v6s they last longer right they don't have as much horsepower but they last longer and they're a lot smoother drive this four cylinder takes a lot to get them rolling they got to rev up high they they just don't ride right.

### **Car Enthusiast Recommendations**
If it just kind of rattles and then goes away it's usually that either the timing chain is warm or the timing chain tensioner that pushes it it's carboned up and then when it warms up it pops in place and stops rly my advice is to clean it first that might fix it my friend Bernie and Albuquerque he's got an oil flush you put it in the oil you rev it to 2000 RPM for like 253 minutes then you change the oil and filter if it's carboned up and the tension are stuck that will onfree it and I've seen that fix a bunch of them now if it didn't it would mean it's physically worn and you'd have to rebuild the engine timing chain tensioner lots of stuff can actually make it rattle like that so take all that consideration and pray it's not the which means the rods are knocking because the bearings are woring out and you're going to have to either rebuild the engine soon or get rid of it fast so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos Remember remember to ring that Bell.
