Rev up your locomotives, today I’m gonna talk about five vehicles that can go 300,000 miles or more, actually just about any vehicle can go 300,000 miles or more if you don’t mind spending all kinds of money putting another locomotive or a transmitting and spending a lot in mends, I’m talking about ones that you don’t have to spend a small fortune to construct them get to 300,000 miles , now I’ve actually encountered three vehicles in my period that went over thousands and thousands of miles, one was an age-old Volvo p1 800 sports car, one was a Ford f-1 50 pickup, and the other one was a Toyota Camry that went over a million miles, and to understand how this happened sure they had to be well-built vehicles, but in all three of those cases those were vehicles “thats been” driven mainly on the superhighway at route speeds because realized if you’re going 65 miles an hour all that breeze is cooling down the engine, the petroleum is lubricating accurately you’re not get any kind of buildup in the engine because it’s burning fast and getting rid of some of the pollutions, so highway mileage is actually equivalent to about 10% of metropolitans stop-and-go driving, the absolute worst thing you can do for a car is to continuously shut it off and then later starting it back up, because most of the wear on your locomotive passes during startup when the top of the engine doesn’t have the petroleum in it, the bottom doesn’t it’s got a pump the pressure to the crest, so you’re going on the freeway for 10 hours at 65 miles an hour, your barely get any wear at all, taxi cabs in New York City that travelled more than a million miles and you’d envisage, how can that be stop and run stop and go, but from what I’ve read of those they did not have the original engines and disseminations they had a lot of fixings done, so it’s not like it was somebody merely bought a car drove it a million miles in brand-new york city’s stopping and proceeding, that’s a commercial-grade thing and that’s completely different , now one reason people want a vehicle that will last three hundred thousand miles or more is because people drive more than they used to in the United States, it’s a fact today 2019, hey you might be watching this video in the future and that’ll be the past but, Americans average about 15,000 a year, and in the 60 s and 70 s that used to be 12 thousand miles a year, but of course that’s just an average, many people drive twenty to thirty thousand miles a year, living in suburbia the commutes are longer, everything is set up so you got a drive to get somewhere, so people are driving more and more, in ten years so an average person will drive like a hundred and fifty thousand miles well that’s almost double what people were driving in the sixties and seventies, autoes are eventually gonna start to wear out, and you got to decide hey when is it so worn out that’s gonna cost me more money to restore it, then it’s worth doing, well that’s why I’m showing you five autoes it was able last-place 300,000 miles or more, and I’m talking about lasting out without “ve had to” engine replacing or transmission replacing, when it gets to that tier you got a car say it’s got 150,000 and you find out “youre gonna have to” shed seven grand in an locomotive, most people will say I’ll travel get something else and I won’t secure it , now the first automobile that I’m gonna pick that can go 300,000 miles or more, is the venerable Toyota Corolla, there are millions and millions of them out there, my 94 Celica is basically a Toyota Corolla, and behind that the 2007 matrix that’s basically a Toyota Corolla too, I’ve had many of my own personal customers over the last 50 times get more than three hundred thousand miles on Toyota Corollas with the original engine and the original dissemination, and it wasn’t like the rest of the car falls apart either, they’re well made and since there’s millions of them out there, they’re also much cheaper to restore there’s an insane aftermarket of decent proportions that you are able to put one over ones that are even twenty thirty years old these days, I even had a customer a few years ago, he bought a used Corolla from a pal of his, for five hundred bucks and it had two hundred thousand miles on it, it was still going over three hundred thousand miles and he’s still driving the thing, what a deal paid five hundred bucks for a automobile, drove it another hundred thousand miles and didn’t have to do the engine or the transmitting over, recognize it that when you go small like a Toyota Corolla, there’s less load to draw itself, less load to wear out the tires and the struts and all else, a lot of times moving a bit smaller is a good if you want long life in private vehicles , now the next vehicle that can go 300 thousand miles or more is the Honda Civic the Civic is basically Honda’s competition to the Corolla and like the Corolla there’s millions of them out there, and since they’re generally a little bit zippier than a Corolla, a lot of kids like the civics they soup them up, they’re strong locomotives Honda is notorious for strong locomotives, I’ve had customers with civics with well over 300 thousand miles on them a schoolteacher and that’s what she drives and I’ve got teenage kids that have souped up ones, of course they are likely not last-place 300,000 miles they’re either gonna get wrap around a telephone pole, or their gonna blow the engines up by over revving them, but if you take care of a civic it can last-place a really really long time , now the next vehicle that can last 300,000 miles or more, is the Grandpa’s car, the old Crown Victoria, yeah they don’t establish them anymore, but they’re simple-minded old-school technology, pushrod v8 body on an actual frame, those things can last-place a very long time, and of course in this respect the Lincoln Town Car and the Mercury Grand Marquis, they can last-place a really long time if you take minimum care of them, that’s why when they still built them, you’d see the crown vics be useful for police car, they were solid basic vehicles with frames, they are likely to last-place a really long time and if you didn’t mind a relatively poor stop-and-go gas mileage, the issue is okay on the highway for gas mileage , now the next vehicle that can last 300,000 miles or more might surprise you, the Mazda Miata, a little bitty Mazda sports car, I remember years before the miatas were even built, a lot of people would say Scotty why doesn’t somebody figure out how to get a British sports car and put a Japanese locomotive in it, well Mazda pretty much took that suggestion and stimulated the Mazda Miata, a totally Japanese stimulated vehicle with a Japanese locomotive that moved cliques around the English sports cars, in terms of the fun factor, that they always started up, they get good gas mileage, they were fun to drive and they didn’t break down all the time like the British sports cars did, and of course there’s still inducing them, the 2010 into 2016 miatas hey they got one of very high faction ratings by the owners who bought them and drove them around, they’re fun little automobiles, that’s said if you want to get one certainly get the standard transmissions, because the manual transmission ones, specially the older ones, could scarcely get out of their own way, and those automatic transmissions would break down as they got older, where the standard transmissions, there is an opportunity only keep going and moving and travelling their so much simpler, if you’re into buying a applied sports car that’d be the one I tell you to buy, because I’ve had clients buy one that had 150,000 miles paid, one thousand twelve hundred dollars for them, and drove them for years we’re pretty happy with it, and rarely would I tell somebody to buy a used sports car but the Miata, likely the best pick up a ill-used sports car if you’re thinking about long life , now the last vehicle that you can buy what you can get 300 thousand miles or more as far as I’m concerned, is the Ford f-1 50 pickup path post-world War two Ford truly has moved the pickup, the F150 series the top of the line for serious pickup truck drivers, of course they got a whole assortment of options in them, but truly if you want to go 300,000 miles or more in one of those, get yourself the good solid v8 locomotive now the only thing that I’ve got against them, is the manual transmission is the weakest relate, I’ve got patrons get four hundred thousand miles or more on an f-1 50, but generally by then they’re on their second automatic transmission ford has a pretty good structure where the government had mill remanufactured communications that are pretty good that you are able to have put in, so if you’ve got one it’s got 250,000 miles and the communication travels out, my advice is, put in one of the Ford remanufactured automatic transmissions and go on your merry lane for years and years , now commonly when I have a custom-made with real high-pitched mileage and the communication moves out, I say I just get rid of it’s not worth it, but on those f-1 50 s hey the engine and torso still in good shape, you are able to as well as set a transmitting in it if you want a truck like they have to drive around, I would never ever tell somebody with a Chrysler pickup truck to set a transmitting in it if the vehicle had two hundred thousand miles on it, odds are has become a chrysler by then the whole vehicle would be falling apart and there’d be no sense to expend all that money putting the dissemination in it, so if you want to keep your vehicles 300,000 miles more , now you know five of them that have stood the test of hour, and can do simply that, so if “youve never” want to miss another one of my brand-new vehicle fixing videos, remember to reverberating that Bell!
