Scotty, I am the owner of the Camry with the oil leak and "surface rust". We had the Toyota engineer look at the rust on the axle and his solution was to treat it with baking soda and water. Surprise, the rust is still there. We have dealt with Toyota's customer service and they also refused to do anything about the rust. Just wanted to update you on this.

How about a 1959 Hillman Minx convertible. Economy that is sporty. Mine did not have power brakes, power steering, power windows, power door locks, or power top mechanism and no A/C. Did have nice red leather seats, am radio, and manual transmission. A hoot to drive and easy to work on. Or, if you prefer a truck, as many today do; how about a 1949 International Harvester KB-2 (that's a 3/4 ton pickup). Comes complete with 70 hp flathead 6 cylinder engine, manual transmission, manual steering, no power brakes, drum brakes, crank out windshield, no A/C, no radio (wasn't even an option), vacuum operated windshield wipers, 6 volt battery, non adjustable bench seat, no power windows, no power door locks, manual floor mounted starter pedal, drivers side rear view mirror only. Could reach a speed of just over 50 mph on level ground. It's best feature is that it was built like a tank such that I wacked it with a sledge hammer and it didn't even scratch it. Try that with a modern day truck. I miss those 2 vehicles and wish I still had them. Now I'm forced to ride around in modern sissy vehicles with their A/C, power seats, stereos, etc.

In some cases that might be closer to the truth. I forger the exact name of the container & car cargo ship that headed into a massive storm a year or so back but the ship was carrying Toyota cars and that ship did get swamped out it partially sank in shoals on purpose the captain headed the ship onto a shoal where it was pumped out and repaired. Not too long ago I took my sister car shopping while her husband was overseas on business and we looked at Toyota cars here locally where I live. I found two cars where the carpeting was wet behind the front seats. The dealer said the lot detailers left the back windows down. But that did not explain the faint smell of sea water. After all I am a Navy sailor and know still remember what sea water smells like.

Thank you Scottie for calling out Toyota’s quality slip. I just bought a 2024 Mazda CX-5 CE, made in Japan, after test driving a RAV4. The Rav4 was noisy inside and handled poorly. I paid $31,000 for the Mazda which had the same bells and whistles as the RAV4 Limited which was $41,000…and it wasn’t made in Japan! The CX-5 is quiet and handles flawlessly. Toyota is riding on their past stellar reputation. Toyota doesn’t make them like they use to.

People buy tiny cars expecting to save gasoline, but that was not the case with the U.S. spec Fiat 500.

The LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries have less energy, however they will last longer and can be charged to 100 percent all the time with no penalty, as opposed to the 80 percent that Tesla recommends you charge the lithium ion batteries to to maintain long battery life. I would much rather have the LFP battery if I have a choice between the two. Although, I am not interested in buying an electric car, too many problems and limitations.

@@Coladudetje Iron phosphate doesn't age like lithium ion either. Iron phosphate had about triple the lifespan of lithium ion and as said has no losses or at least less from fully charging or discharging. Also your phone battery degrading isn't comparable to cars. For phones people fully charge them every day and discharge extremely low, almost all the way down. For cars most start with limitations on max charge and it's unlikely you'll dump and recharge it completely as often as your phone. That would mean traveling 200 miles a day or more. If you treat a battery well it should last well over 10 years no problem.

It is better to drive (no joke), is much cheaper and has literally no trim rattle, compared to the noisy corolla. Yes, it uses a little more gas, but the difference is actually negligible. Hey, it can even tow a 1400kg trailer, the corolla could only tow 800kg (useless)😂. Car quality is not what it used to be, new cars are a joke. Too many shortcuts.

Scotty, some of your comments about Tesla replacing lithium ion batteries ARE WRONG. LiFeP batteries are ACTUALLY MORE EXPENSIVE than the older LiION batteries BUT THEY ARE MUCH SAFER. LiFeP batteries are indeed less energy dense and heavier as you say but they don’t exhibit thermal runaway combustion, don’t spontaneously combust. That’s why Tesla is spending money to replace the older batteries in cars that are still under warranty with more expensive new batteries - THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID ACCIDENTS AND LITIGATION.

@ministryoflies3300 11 днів тому
@@brianvogt8125 You apparently don’t understand technology life cycles and the war between China and the US. There’s enormous capital invested in research and setup of proprietary high tech car production lines and factories. Car companies have to go with the best technologies they have within a certain timeframe or their competitors will steal their designs, beat them to deploying those technologies. Once you have the factories you must sell a certain number of cars to recoup costs, make enough profit to fund more research, keep the company in good shape. Otherwise you stand to lose all your research costs and fall behind your competitors… China. I have been testing LiFeP batteries and they’re very heavy and huge. They came out after LiION batteries so they needed more testing and refinement to even work as car batteries. Even now they’re barely practical, but they’re much safer than LiION. It’s also the software in the charging controllers that make a big difference aside from the quality of individual LiION battery suppliers. Finally, if Tesla didn’t jump in, jump ahead, and win the initial EV war, China would own the entire market and Mandarin would be the lingua Franca of the EV world. EV is NOT ACTUALLY ABOUT CARS or “SAVING THE PLANET”, it’s part of WW3 BETWEEN CHINA and THE WEST.
