Scotty you are a treasure and singlehandedly bringing back the home mechanic

[minhpham]

I can understand the Scion branding moment from Toyota. When I grew up in Vietnam, Toyota did have a reputation to be “the uncool car that your middle-aged dad and all his friends drive”. That was 10 years ago. Now I live in the US and I still chuckle every time I hear people in the US go crazy for Toyota.
No hate on Toyota tho, my dad only ever owned a Corolla and I wish I could ship that car over from home instead of having to buy a different car here.

I had the OG 2005 Scion XB. It went through everything (and I live in Buffalo so lots of salt, potholes and snow). It ran until 2022 when a friend rolled it at 300, 000. I miss that car so much. It was amazingly reliable and practical and unlike so many newer cars, you could easily see everything around you.

My independent mechanic told me about a Scion FR-S a lady brought in. She’d been driving it several months where it would run fine, then suddenly quit. She would let it set for about 15 or 20 minutes, crank it right up and take off. He hooked up his machine to it and immediately leaped for the key to turn it off. Not a drop of water, coolant, nothing and she’d been driving it like that for months! He said if that had been a Camaro or Mustang the pistons would have welded shut. He poured in some coolant and she drove it off.

That's a really good point about silent motorcycles.

You just gotta love those hand-crank windows. I think it's probably cheaper to fix those than the power window counterparts. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Those simple features are extremely hard to find.

Crankshaft Position Sensor solved me my Crank/no start problem. Also solved the low stutter idleling after it got warm.

My best suv I ever owned was a sante Fe 3.5 engine never any trouble put on 367, 000. And still going strong

Seeing your 1..8 l 1981 corolla sr5 is nostalgic. I had the 1980 version, same two door liftgate, same sr5 package, same COLOUR even. Real rear drive, drove like a sports car. Still miss it... My first Toyota.

Lucky for me I got to rebuild my 04 Tacoma after 200k. New engine, clutch, rack and pinion, AC refurbished, brakes, and new brighter lights.
24 miles on the freeway 19 in town. All for under 5k. Just like a new car. At age 70 it will definitely outperform and outlast me.🖖

FYI - Toyota marketed the Scion brand thinking that many (most) young people in Japan like to customize their cars, so Toyota sells them bare bones. So they tried the same thing over here - bare bones car, cheap as possible, specially for kids that like to customize themselves. It didn't really catch on, but that was the original idea.

That laugh at 9:49 always brings me flashbacks back to grandpa on The Munsters.

We've had 2 Scions in the past. A 2006 XB and a 2016 IM. Both still run great.

[PImindcouchdetective]

I have a 2006 scion xb with 368000 miles, still going strong. I have only had to replace the catalytic converter a couple times, new brake pads, spark plugs and most recently the oil pan, as expected with mileage. It still gets pretty good mileage, but need to use better gas and high mileage oil now. I think Scion has been the absolute best car ever made!

Scotty knows his stuff, love him great job Scotty keep making those videos 😊

Live free or die!!!! Never change, Scotty!!!

Love our Scotty. The man is a genius. Thanks for all the car help.

The GREAT thing about a tachometer in a automatic is useful for when your automatic transmission is starting to slip or acting funny!
So they’re not pointless in automatics

4x4 'health' warning: 2008 Ford Ranger 3.0 XLT 4-wheel drive system (& many other selectable 4 wd systems fitted to pickup trucks):
This has part-time (selectable) 4 wheel drive, as far as I know without a central diff (as fitted to AWD systems) to deal with differences in rotational speed between the front & rear axles, such as when turning, so 4 wheel drive should never be engaged on firm (eg asphalt or concrete) road surfaces because that puts unnecessary stress and risk of serious costly damage to driveline components (eg transfer case).
That could also lead to greater wear on tyres and driveline components.
Just thought to share that here.
Scotty, enjoy viewing your videos and learning from you.
