A friend of my daughter backed into her 92' manual Nissan Stanza when she was in high school 20 years ago. The insurance company gave us a check for $2500, for damage to the hood and grill. We used a bungee cord to keep the hood closed and used the money to buy our 3 teenage girls a second car/ a used Camry for them. We were going to need to get a second car for our girls anyway since the oldest one was leaving for college. The youngest ones didn't mind driving the damaged Stanza. My kids were pretty low maintenance.
Smart man !😊
Well brought up no doubt. :-)
Well that worked out nicely
How ghetto.. why didnt you just get a damn job
Those stanzas were solid and bullet proof.
I got a Toyota celica automatic, 1995 st, can’t hear it run. It’s got the carrola engine. Over 300,000 miles still runs great. Oil is clean, no smoke. Love it.
Manual transmission is the only way to really enjoy driving a car. I love a manual.
Yes, manual is perfect for anti theft lol
Depends on person, if someone wants a appliance, lacks coordination and understanding to drive fast, it's a headache.
Not if u love in Houston or the like had bad cramps before
Disagree. Overrated experience.
I love manual too I own my first automatic now and I don't like it.
I haven't seen Scotty this happy since he last drove the 94 Celica.
@Paul Boden I thought it was just me, he was overly happy in that Toy! It was the shifting, Scotty should've been a race car driver! ;-)
It's joy and happiness all together!!!!
It's true
shoulda tried a 74 celica
My dad was a die hard Toyota guy. He was sold on the Toyota engine when he bought a 1987 Chevrolet Nova that was built with a Toyota engine. The more I watch your videos I am convinced that Father knew best about Toyotas
Toyota is hard to beat. Especially the older ones. You can’t kill ‘em! Lol
I have a 1988 Nova Twin Cam -- the racy DOHC model.
My mom bought an '85 Nova bare bones NO option's even had an AM radio. in '92 when I got my license I inherited the car. Once i got the engine tuned up and the oil changed (which I don't think had ever been done) and had a half decent stereo put it in it ran great. The car got me through college at one point I was putting 1000 miles a week on it and it just ran without complaint. Still the BEST snow car I've ever had. I've owned 4 cars, 3 of them have been some variant of the Corolla.
@@tancar2004 Nothing makes a car run great like a half decent stereo
For most of my childhood, my grandpa worked for a Toyota dealership as the service manager. All but 1 of my cars have been Toyotas. The non Toyota was the biggest mistake of my life.
I saw an early 90s Corolla on the street recently. It still looked new. It was probably garage kept and driven little but still, a lot of other cars won't last that long even if you keep them in the garage and maintain them fanatically.
It's because people are fanatics about corollas.
Much respect to people driving well maintained and groomed old cars regardless of age and model. Beater is a state of mind. You can tell a lot about people by how presentable or lousy their car looks and runs. If you can't afford maintaining a car, either work harder or get a bike. Even when I was younger going to school and working at a Pizza Hut, no way was I rolling in a rinky-dink rust bucket. It was my first car, an old 2nd hand corolla, parts are cheap not replace what needed to be replaced and me and a friend did the paint, interior was well kept. Put on some nice aftermarket second hand eBay rims and had it lowered. It wasn't fast but it was always fresh, clean and reliable. It was efficient and got me to places on a cheap. A lot of DIY work, it started my education in cars. I took care of it so it took care of me, never let me down not even once.
I’ve got a ‘99 that I had to shape up a lotta rust on, but it still looks great and runs fine
I had a 1965 Ford pickup. A lot of people thought it was an automatic until they got confused by the clutch pedal on the floor. Most people these days never have seen a 3 on the tree shifter.
Learned how to drive a stick with one, manual brakes and steering!
My Dad trained myself to Drive on a. 73 f100 explorer 3 on the tree ford pickup..
Me, living in LATAM where 99% of us have manual xD how do u even drive an automatic
My first car was three on a tree that's how I Learned to Drive
@@brianmorris2841 mine too. A POS 1970 Maverick base with no options AT ALL. $250
My 2005 vibe with the 1.8 5 speed is a blast to drive. I red line it all the time & she had never let me down. 293000 miles and still running strong
don't mistake that vibe's reliability for gm reliability though! just keep that in mind!
I'm pushing 60. As a kid, we weren't allowed to apply for our learner's permit unless we could drive a manual. (Dad's rules). I learned on an old Plymouth wagon with a "three on the tree". While most of my CARS have been automatic (A few big Buicks over the years), My trucks have been manual. No frills and mechanical simplicity is what I look for in a truck (and THAT'S getting harder to find...).
Warms my heart to see love towards a 07 Corolla
Fun to see Scotty do the neutral jiggle. I bet even racecar drivers jiggle the shifter, “just to be sure”. 😂
omg the horror of the accidental startup lurch & stall w the alarms jingling
Always
I specifically hunted down a manual 2015 Scion XB 3 years ago. Its fun, efficient, versatile. And reliable as heck! I’ll have it for many many years years!
I agree. Toyotas are absolutely golden from 1999-2006. Always a smart buy!
My grandparents neighbor had a Corolla that looks like that, but it was an 05' model year and it had a beige exterior color. I would visit her sometimes since I was little, and she loved daily driving it a lot!! Unfortunately she sadly passed away at 84 years old after she had a stroke this year. It also means that her Corolla ended up on sale after it had about 430k miles, and her daughter and one of her family members were planning on moving there, but didn't feel comfortable anymore. Unfortunately the house was sadly taken down a couple months after she passed away :((
I have a 04 vibe with the 1zz-fe and it's literally outlasted every single other vehicle i have ever owned, and it's so easy to work on it taught me so much about doing my own maintenance. Plus in the winter with some good snow tires I'm passing big gass guzzler SUVs and trucks who are stuck. Plus having the hand e break it makes for a fun durable car.
Keep an eye on oil consumptions...those 1zzfes had an issue with piston ring lands..
I just bought this same car a few months ago because of Scotty's channel. I haven't driven a manuel in years but it was kind of fun driving one again.
What year is this car ?
Manuel is the Mexican gardener that takes care of your flowers. Manual is the (standard) shift transmission in your car. Vanna White sold you the wrong vowel.. lol
For me personally I prefer a standard transmission. I learned on and got my license in a 5 speed manual transmission with a 1.8 liter. My original clutch lasted 274,000 miles and I've roasted more than my fair share of rubber off the tires. I'd personally take a stick over an automatic any day. Thank you Scotty for giving us the truth and helping people out. ❤️
Same, been driving manual transmission since I was 16 and I’m almost 30 and have zero interest in “driving” and automatic. Heck I even get excited at work when I get to drive the toro workman 3-speed golf carts 😂
@@21DaHoagie12 likewise. I originally learned to drive on all the dirt roads when I was 11 or 12. Needless to say I got my license on the first try. I learned how to drive years before and automatics just don't feel right to me. Not having a clutch is practically a foreign thing to me. Lol.
Manuals are great. As long as my arthritic knee isn’t acting out, I’m good. 267,000 mi. and going great on it.
@@josephtrunk3565 I'm lucky not to have arthritis but I was driving my econobox manual after knee surgery after the two days it took to stand and hobble to the car on crutches. That's how light the clutches are. The pain killers may have helped too.
When we lived in San Diego in 71 our friend carted us around in an old '49 ford truck that had a bad starter. He would park it on a hill so he could pop the clutch in low gear to start it. Took a trip to Tijuana, Mexico in it once and parked it on a level street. We had to bodily push it so he could pop the clutch.
I have an 07 Corolla, my kid has an 04. And even my coworker bought an 06xrs Corolla. All of them have at least 200k miles on them and never have problems, thanks Scotty!
Scotty is the mechanic father I never had, thankyou pops
Finding somebody willing to sell a mild-mileage Japanese stick is about as common as tripping over a gold nugget in a river here in CA...
exhaust manifold leak lol that had me dying. love your videos scotty you make everything much more fun to watch and learn
I learned to shift on a trail bike. It was very easy to translate that skill to a car. I learned to drive on a stick.
I’d love to have Scotty autograph my “ Stupid Beauty Cover “ 😁
That's Classic! Or my "ENDLESS MONEY PIT" T-shirt! 🙂
Thanks for the video. After my Trailblazer failed on me, my sister gave me her old 2003 Corolla. It sat for 2 years in the garage. We changed the battery and it started no problem. I’m just keep getting a engine light for evac codes. Tried everything still comes from time to time. I get it cleared and keep going. Love ya keep the videos coming.
Sounds like a good car for another Scotty video, go see him?
I’m so thankful, my dad taught how to drive a stick shift. He had a 1965 Ford-150 and said, once you learn how to drive this vehicle, you’ll be able drive any car etc.💯
Back in the days I drove 19 63 Impala with column shift standard my first car I bought was a 1966 Impala Super Sport for 4 full speed manual
Just bought home a 2022 Tacoma with a manual 2 weeks ago, LOVE IT!!!
I drove an auto a couple of weeks ago and it couldn’t decide what gear it wanted to be in…. Deal breaker.
My car is this exact model (with the stick) Has 140K and gets 38-40 highway and 36 in town (I run the tires at 40psi). Car is fun to drive and I never worry about if it gets a ding. Only thing I've had to replace on it is the headlights, front brakes and rotors, spark plugs, tensioner belt, suspension, air bag sensor, tensioner seal, and valve cover gasket. Did all the work myself, car is very easy to work on and incredibly well designed. Also, very cheap to insure. Only thing that doesn't work anymore is the clock. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a poor man's sport car.
My first car was a 1988 Honda Accord (standard). I’m almost 38 years old now. I haven’t drove a standard in nearly 20 years, but I’m sure I could if needed today. I’ve seen some people freak out about standards. They’re really not that big of a deal.
driven
Modern automatics are so good that there's little need for a manual. They can shift much faster than the time it takes to manually shift. I never saw the big deal either, it's just pressing a pedal and moving a stick to me, but to each their own.
In 2018, may them 65 year old wife bought a Honda CRV.
It is the first automatic she has ever owned.
Why have you had automatics all this time..
@@olhobbler Drove is past tense of driven bwahahahahaha
I dunno where Scotty live but in the North East (NY, NJ, PA, DE) people are fist fighting over low milage Toyota or Honda products with manual transmission. Whoever sold that for $1200 was crazy.
Any car I see in that price range is total junk. I don't know how Scotty's customers are always finding such deals!
Yes you're right it's getting harder to find cheap and in decent condition. I refuse to let go of my 2005 Scion XB for rust issues. It's a manual transmission, not as zippy as the 05 Corolla I had that was a manual tranns too. It seems like rust is a problem with these older vehicles because no one properly cares for them and wash off the salt off their car.
You said it Scotty people don’t know how to Drive a manual transmission better for me I love Driving a manual transmission old school 😂
That is a lovely car, inside is so nice. I love older cars now more than modern. Ppl always want more than they need.
Cars nowadays will never last as long as cars that are 20-30 years old now. 20-30 years from now they’ll all be unfixable junk
Scottys the only mechanic I know that can say "behoove" and get away with it...
I had a commanding officer in ROTC who said it and got away with it too.
Scotty you are one heck of a guy. I think if everybody had you philosophy or life the world would be a better place. A you make frugality cool.
I love your channel. I learn so much. You kind of remind me of my Dad.
Four years ago I bought a Canadian built 2008 Corolla. It had only 76,000 kilometres on it at the time. Now has just over 110,000. It’s been at great car so far. Fourteen years old and the AC still blows cold! Only one major repair so far, the cam chain cover gasket and water pump replaced in 2019. It’s the same colour blue as the one in your video. I call it recycle bin blue. Even with the automatic transmission it’s fairly peppy. Way more than my 2002 Saturn SL2 was. Great video Scotty.
@David Mclay only 110,000 km on a 2008 boy that’s rare! I have a 2006 Matrix with that 1ZZ-FE Corolla engine, I’m in Canada and it has 246,000 kilometres and it’s 17 years old and it’s been flawless more me. The biggest expense with it has been tires. That’s it. It still has the original water pump, A/C compressor, alternator (battery is 3 years old tho), and even these original parts show no signs of slowing down yet. The interior & exterior are still nice and mint, particularly the interior, (tinted windows have helped that), I’ve had it for 3 1/2 years now and I plan on driving it for another 15 years and another 246,000 km these cars are so reliable. Mine is an auto.
Scotty been watching your videos for years appreciate your advice although I don't always follow it I have two sons their first cars were standard Transmissions on purpose my father always told me if you can drive a standard you can learn to drive anything and I live by that
Love my 2010 Toyota Corolla stick shift.
Scotty, I have a funny story. My wife, before she was my wife, bought a 1985 Dodge Colt with a standard transmission because she couldn't afford the auto. She never drove standard before but took it home with minimal instruction. She lived in NYC! She drove it home! An added benefit was that none of her family borrowed it because it was standard. What a woman!
She drove on one gear, anyone could drive a manual.
Scotty, that 1.8 engine you love is great, but i love that 2.2 Toyota had back in the 80's
I had that engine in a Celica, the original body style! Good engine
My wife bought a 2 year old ‘96 Honda Civic EX in 1998. We sold it in 2015 with almost 300,000 miles on it. Still ran great, everything worked on it including the AC that was never touched!!!
I learned to drive in a 60 Dodge Phoenix, 6-cylinder 3-on-the-tree, with Armstrong steering and Flintstone brakes. After mastering that, I could drive anything with wheels. I still enjoy driving a stick, they are more peppy than an automatic. My high school car was a 66 Chevelle with a 283 V-8 and a 4-speed!! Dented and rusty, but my buddies thought I was so cool having a "muscle car". Yeah, a whole 160 horsepower monster!!! Hahahaha!!!
Manual transmission is the best. Enjoyed our Willeys Military Jeep with foot starter and 3 speed. No power steering but not bad to drive at all here in the Philippines.
on older cars if you just scrub your headlights real good with the window wiper at the gas stations, it will polish them over time and improve the light output if you have older bulbs. what i do is wash about half my windows and then scrub one headlight since the small dirt acts kind of like a polishing grit. then do the other half and the other headlight. keeps headlights looking brand new without that sun yellowing. careful of the paint around the headlights since it will damage it.
newer cars this is harder with their non flat healdight deigns.
I learned to drive in a late 1950's era Willy's Jeep truck. It had 2 sticks one for shifting gears other to engage 4 wheel drive. No power steering etc. It was built like a tank! Plus it had a snow plow with its sticks. I tore up the country lawn alongside the dirt drive but it was fun and hilarious.
Yeah I'm one of the manual guys at my shop although I basically ride the clutch. No damage is done though since its just from the parking lot to the shop. For road tests, I have to get someone who actually knows how to drive
i swear dis man wont let a penny slide.wheel cap tip is legendary.
How ironic that I watched the manual Mazda video earlier today and you mentioned it in this video. I love my Scion xB, per your recommendation. For a 2005, it's super reliable and fun to drive with a manual transmission. Thanks, Scotty!
My 2015 XB is manual. Love it!
In the 1990’s I made Shift Handles for 8th Gen Corolla the QC was seemingly ridiculous BUT now nearing30 years later I have Never seen a used roller with the rubber stuff blistered, cracked ,chipped or peeling off …and I am a proud owner of a 99 w 175k Roll On !!!
The best anti theft device is a 3 on the tree😂👌🏻
But that's Rare these days. Last I drove was a Chevy truck.
Most young criminals will struggle with a 5 speed floorshift now
Scotty EveryMan.....Bring things down to basics..Love Him...
Sir Scotty definitely agree with you Toyota was built to last for many years! I am still driving my Toyota Corolla GLI 1996 Model - the machine are dependable and the best in terms of comfort in driving!
I love corollas. They're the best. Especially the 80s.
My parents bought a new 06 Toyota Corolla (same generation) with the 5-speed manual, they used it to commute to LA for about 8 years racking up 195k miles, then sat in the driveway for long periods of time but occasionally still drove it, I turned 18 in 2016 and needed a car for college so my dad attempted to teach me manual while learning how to drive, and I learned and so the 2006 Toyota Corolla became my 1st car! It had 203k miles when given to me, I drove the car throughout my 4 years of university along with taking it on many many long drives and road trips and never left me stranded, I put 120k miles on it!!!! During my ownership though I needed to get a new clutch at 210k miles, alternator at 250k miles and starter at 275k miles but that’s it! Impressive for an over 200k mile car!!!!! At 320k miles though and 4 1/2 years of ownership I crashed it though unfortunately…but my parents definitely said that car lasted far far far longer then they ever imagined so definitely was worth their money when buying it back in 06 and lasting 14 years with 320k miles lol
You crack me up Scotty! Manuel Transmissions are why I drive a Rambler. And with overdrive! Years ago I had a drag race from a traffic light with a model T! The old Rambler was doing near 65 in 2nd overdrive! The model T turned out to be a race car!
2007 Corolla manual owner here. It was given to me by my sis and BIL, after they bought a Rav 4 for cash. First gear start out can be really quick, as the engine is peppy on startup. Just passed 300k miles. BTW, on that model, the odometer stops at 299, 999. You can use the trip meter to measure miles, or you can pay a couple hundred to re-do the odometer. OR, you can leave it as is. Either way, these are great cars.
My first car was a 1982 Toyota Corolla. It was a very dependable little car.
Great story, great advice.
Love your valuable informative videos, thank you. I made sure my kids learned to drive a stick shift.
When you said 1.8. I almost broke down in tears. Had 94corolla had to get rid. Thought. Gas gauge was broke. Cause $5 up to quarter to half tank. Bulletproof
My previous 2004 Echo hatchback was already 15 years old and I wanted to sell it. Then my parents decided to give me their 2004 Corolla LE. Turns out it only had 66km (41miles) on this vehicle. So I had the CD player swapped out for a new Bluetooth system. Added heated seats to both front seats. Just had a thorough maintenance tune-up. The car drives so smoothly.
We had a 2008 Corolla. Bought it at 30K and Sold it at 130K miles to a relative. All we ever did was regular maintenance, filled it up with the cheapest gasoline and drove it. It was a Tank. To date, the most reliable car we ever had period. We even sort of used it as a pick up truck. When we bought cement bags, lumber or pipes especially we would pop the trunk and put the stuff in and tie everything down and tie the trunk lid down. It surprised me that even on slopes and exceeded weight limits the vehicle just kept going. It was not even garage kept during the 100K miles we drove it. My relatives are still driving it. Her highschool son drives it like its a maniac but no trouble yet. Its got 200K miles now still going strong. The only thing they changed was a new set of tires and a new battery and its going like a clock.
I'm a Ford guy. I have to say that Scotty is 100% correct. Honda and Toyota are two of the best manufacturers out there.
Heck of a deal I have been thinking of getting a standard. I have not driven one in years be fun to have some play time driving again.
My Mom never liked Our Datsun B210. She was used to having a 3 speed on the Column. She Never could get used to 4 on the floor. She thought She was supposed to put it in 1st gear all of the time. I am surprised that She didn't tear the transmission out of the Datsun B210.
In Greece the default option most of the timr is Manual transmission and I am happy about that.
My dad taught my older sister, by 4yrs, to drive and it was in a little '68 bug. I was 11yrs and my dad taught me as well and now I'm 50 and have only owned one vehicle with an automatic, which I had for less than a year. A standard is the best security system to have because it's a lost art, but I love them.
I own a 97 corolla that I brought 2 years ago for $1100 it had 100k miles on it , I drive it every day have only put new tires & brakes on it now has 120k and runs like a champ!
I bought a Corolla Le 2004 from a friend in 2018 in very condition and low mileage, I am very satisfied and proud to drive it 😊.
I wish I knew something that made me as happy as an old Toyota makes Scotty.
My first car was a manual transmission. Sure, i stalled it a few times but after a few days of driving her, i got the hang of it.
Same. Nothing like stalling out crossing a highway with cars coming from both directions to help you learn on the spot 😂
@@highjinx6519or a red light on a hill, with cars behind ya
@@erickt2665 yep those are fun too. Even better I had the 2 little girls I was babysitting in the backseat while I was stalling out on the highway. I learned quick lol. Those were the good ole days
Had an 83 Toyota tercel manual. When it was cold, it didn't want to shift into second gear til it warmed up. It ran better when it had new spark plugs, so I was always changing them for that smoother feel, but a couple hundred miles later it was back to the old normal.
What a piece of junk
I've been enjoying the '06 Toyota Corolla I've been driving. It's nearing 194,000 miles. Had to replaced the radiator fan assembly in a auto parts store parking lot. So far it's been a diy friendly car.
@Patrick Kennedy they are the best generation of Corolla by far. Because you have available crank windows & manual transmissions but still get airbags and OBD2. Other Corollas don’t offer than combination really.
I have a 2011 Toyota Corolla that has a 2ZR-FE engine, with automatic transmission, which I heard was the super reliable sucessor to the engine in this car that you looked at. It's at 153,000 miles, being used for delivery driving, yet, I hope it will last a long time.
Love this guy! He is absolutely right!
Having driven cars with manual transmission for twenty years, I now have the best of both manual and automatic transmissions as I drive a car with tiptronic transmission. I get to choose my revs, and the clutch pedal isn't missed at all.
I’ve driven a standard transmission from a 1953 Cambridge 218 flathead 3 on the tree (not fast but very dependable) up. My current vehicle is a 2004 Toyota Corolla 1.8L with automatic transmission. I’m not displeased at 290,000 miles & works as well as when I bought it. 31+ miles per gallon & in 9 years only replaced wheel hubs, tires & regularly serviced. Runs as good as the day I bought it. The only thing that’s gone bad is the clock & the the charcoal filter valve. I don’t mind gassing up slow & have no vehicle inspection here so I’ll keep driving it until the wheels fall off as I drive conservatively & it’s paid for. I plan to buy a Tacoma so I can occasionally haul things (as it also has a good reputation) to replace my 1994 F350 dually crew cab (7.3L diesel). Maybe I’ll get a Camry or a standard shift Miata but if the Corolla is still going I’ll keep it too. No sense not having a back up.
Thanks for giving me credit for learning how to drive a standard transmission car. My first Subaru was a 5 speed and I taught myself how to drive it.
hey scotty, your a wealth. you should, in the description, if you have the time, list all the car system parts you address in the video. then we would be able to get specific car help with a search. thanks , your gold
I learned on a 1955 Chevy station wagon with a 6 cylinders and 3 on the tree. In 1969. I wished I still had it.
I just bought a 2008 Corolla same color blue and interior. 140k miles. Automatic transmission though.
my wifes mums 1987 corolla is still running perfect. her mum bought it brand new. original clutch. just brakes and a few batteries in that time.
I have a 2005 Corolla with 210k miles. Runs and drives good and will keep to 300k if she can make it!
Here in south Africa, people are either Toyota or vw fanatics. I grew up with the former...first a 1984 corolla ke70, then a 1988 corolla Twincam 4age, then a 20v 4age corolla...then a 2zzge . so safe to say, I'll always have a Toyota in the garage lol.
Yep had an 03 Corolla automatic. Best cheap car ever. Nothing broke Nothing fancy it just (worked). Sad day when it got in an accident cost too much to fix.
Looks a lot like my Pontiac Vibe under the hood!
It was the exact same platform they just changed bumpers/nose/rear & interior. Dash was exactly the same as well. 1 of the only good Pontiac's or Toyota actually, so that's why it wasn't a GM
I was considering getting a small old pickup and I notice the manual ones are quite cheap. I don't know how to drive manual but I may be willing to learn since Scotty says manual transmissions are pretty much bulletproof.
So I got an 07 Corolla sitting outside. A blue one too. Mine's an automatic though. the vehicle is easy to upgrade the interior which is what I did with mine. I put in an interior floor led strip kit, a dash cam, alexa auto, and an android auto multimedia reciever with a windshield phone holder. I was doordashing with it, I actually profit off the doordash gas reimbursement, the car gets 35 mpg at worst and 40 highway at best. That's a 13 gallon tank, that puts 500 miles in the tank. I drive 100 to 200 miles a day because the area I'm dashing in is rural. I get 1 dollar per mile which is around 31 dollars profit from doordash per gallon. If you have a high efficency car like the 07 corolla, you should doordash with it as a side hustle.
The 1zzfe is a known oil burner before the piston redesign. Heads up to anyone buying a pre 2004
Even cars that have all their hubcaps I end up putting a set on to save the stocks for when I go to get something else. Having the original hubcaps on anything is kind of a novelty
I had a Corolla 07 CE, manual transmission as well with about 210km. The car was a tank, it didn't matter what temperature was marking outside, the engine always started as it was new.
Also, it was a waste of time checking the oil level, it never needed a fill, even using the OM oil.
I have a pristine 1994 Corolla GTouring wagon, JDM, well kept, with 11,000 kilometers on it.
Like new. It was kept garaged, driven once or twice a year in Japan.
The car sold at the auction there for a few grand. A few more to ship to Hawaii.
It has a 1500 engine, automatic trans.... gets 50mpg ! I couldn't believe it.
Not a lot of power but zips along at the speed limit.
No trouble registering, but because RHD (right hand drive) I had to insure it at $15000 for replacement value to keep the policy premium down around $50/mo.
PS: I hear that not all mechanic shops will service RHD... good thing this is like new 😅
I’d love to get another standard shift
People thought I was crazy to put snow tires on My Nissan Sentra years ago, but as long as the Bottom didn't drag, it would go nearly anywhere and it didn't hydroplane as bad in the rain either.
I just sold a 2009 toyota yaris sport, one owner and everything original except rotors, pads and plugs that had 357,400 miles and running strong. AC compressor started making an intermittant rattling from its clutch or internal, but still cooling normally all original.
It was smoother running and driving than my 2012 yaris hatch with 156k miles.
Full synthetic oil was always used and yes many of those miles were highway miles. This is why I have 2 other Toyotas.
Consistency.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Scotty you are so entertaining and funny. I couldn't stop laughing about the hubcap trick
Yes sff
He's the GREATEST! THE GOAT! 🙂
That is Scotty. 😁👍
Another great video.......but.......
I want to know how long have you had that hooded Jean jacket???🤣
I had a few throughout the years that I loved but as my boys grew older they stole them from me.😡😡
They are great and will never go out of style. You look good in it Scotty!!👍👍🤣
My first car was a standard colum shift , Chevy Omega .
Granddaughter's Boyfriend blew up my engine on a 2002 5.9 dodge ram. I let it set for 6 months then decided to put a low mileage engine in it. Guys that did it did a great job but the mice had eaten the harness. That costs a fortune to chase down. Blew the computer then no bus on the harness. Finally found that the single bus wire was chewed in two at the cam sensor and ignition. Wound up costing an extra thousand for computer, wire harness, Froze right front caliper and a specialist to come chase wires. Do not let one sit. Oh yeah and it had a skim security. They were so glad when I drove it away.
