Ford is turbocharging all their vehicles because it's the only brand that have had the experience of making tons of money in Europe seeing that every single thing in a turbocharged diesel engine brakes horribly fast.
There is no real gain in maintenance and cost of driving around with a turbocharged engine because whatever you save on gasoline you end up paying in repairs......
ask a European mechanic turbo is a scam that serves only the manufacturer purposes and it should have never been applied to civilian cars...
I tend to stick with Toyotas and Hondas and consider a major reason why quality with Honda has gone down is because most sold in the U.S. are manufactured here now. American quality stinks for most cars. I attribute it to a lack of pride in doing quality work. How many of the Ford failures do you think is due to the design/implementation by Ford of the turbos?
Scotty can you make a video about car catalizators their use and what happens to the car if you remove the catalizator please.
Scotty, I've grabbed a great deal on a fully loaded spec Prius 2nd generation for 1000$. The engine has ~85.000 miles and is mechanically sound with all the maintenance done on time, clean body, clean interior and new tires. The reason been so cheap is because the hybrid battery is dead. I've looked around for 3rd party batteries because the dealer's quote was for 4256$ (inc. labor) and I've found two choices;
One is for 1500$ same spec battery as the factory's and balanced with 4 years warranty. The other is for 2500$ higher density battery, balanced and with 3 years warranty. I kinda want the higher density one to try and get as much as possible fuel economy, should I go for it? Will I encounter any problems putting a larger out of spec battery or should I stick the standard?

Hey bro, I have a 1994 solar yellow Celica GTS, 106,000kms.
ABS light is on, first time she’s ever had a light on the dash lol
Should I buy a pair and just replace them both?
-Cory
every scotty video is just him giving a lesson on why you should be driving an old toyota but from a different starting point lol
I laughed so hard 😂
I too got a major chuckle out of that
Dude 😂😂😂
It dues seen so. I just started watching Scotty and i think every video mentions something good about Toyota, with a possible honorable mention to Volvo.
Because that is the truth!!!
Turbos are fine for people who actually take care of their cars. Most people don’t do that.
Then you should help people take cars of their cars
I always wait a minute or two before shutdown my car to cool it down.
Kanti123 unless you were just driving it hard, don’t. Waste of fuel.
One thing people need to understand is that spooling the turbo while the engine hasn't warmed up is actually really bad for the car. Meaning give it a few minutes after starting before hammering the throttle and forcing tons of air into a cold engine.
What kind of stuff do you have do? Different from a non turbo that is.
Turbo means more fuel required to me, plus a major weakpoint. To be frank, NA as your daily driver and turbo/super as your weekend/fixer.
Rev up you...emissions requirements and lower weight and higher mpg. In theory.
The ecoboost certainly does that. Better mileage for my escape.
In theory😂
@@humansvd3269 ecoboost either does eco or boost... doesn't really do both at once
@@AlineaEuros It depends on how you drive. Eco is when you put it in drive and drive conservatively. Boost is usually when you floor it or use sport mode. So the name isn't a lie. I have the choice. It still gets great mileage.
@@AlineaEuros yeah no kidding....people dont get it. If i use cruise control, i can get 32 in my turbo Fusion and i have 300ft lbs on demand (275 stock) if i want it.
Why not to buy a car with an electronic hand brake
They are more prone to failing and costs more
because when the power cuts out you can't roll the car.
and how exactly do they work?
My neighbor never put it on, the car died and she put in in neutral, it rolled and hit another car.
they fail so bad, I don't trust electric stuff
Yeah... think I'll stick with me NA 114 hp 2.3liter Volvo redblocks... Slow and steady wins the race.
shite
I drive a wrx and i do miss the solid smooth power band mines like a rubberband
holidayhouse03 Tell that to the NHRA
Turbo redblocks Are way funnier
If you're racing for hundreds of thousands of miles, maybe. In a normal race, I'm gonna bet on the turbo car lol
Probably why Lexus has kept many of their naturally aspirated engines for 2019.
They have turbos
They do turbos these days
Spool up your engines!
At first i was skeptical with the video.. but at the end, I enjoyed learning with Scotty. He gets right to the point. Kept the video to a minimal & hit all the key points.
Thanks
Scotty, you should know better. The little old lady from Pasadena, drove real fast, drove real hard and was the terror of Colorado Boulevard in her Super Stock Dodge.
Ultimate lesson. Just drive an old Toyota Corolla.
Or an old Tacoma
But if it's in the rust belt get your flintstone feet ready!
Or an old camry
Or a new one.
going strong in my 96' Toyota carina, org. suspension, clutch, timing belt from 2004.
Just had regular oil changes, new brakes and it's good to go
Didn't the Little Old Lady from Pasadena have a lead foot?
Scotty's old enough to know that. :D
She did.
Yes
She was the terror of Colorado Boulevard.

Love your channel Scotty you always motivate and inspire me, I've always been into cars since the first remote controlled toy I got and the obsession only gets worse every year. You're actually the reason I started my channel and recently got back into it because of you too. Thank you for being such a great mentor and example for the younger generation and everyone really to learn from.
Scotty your videos are interesting and informative! Well done.
I’ve turned on four of my friends to watch your videos! 🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁
thanks for the support!
Smart video Scotty! I own old 2001. naturaly aspirated diesel VW Lupo 1.7 SDI, with 59 bhp, cheap to run, no engine repairs so far , and burn no engine oil. Reliability over performance is good choice for slower drivers! 💪💪💪
To be more specific, when Scotty says "driving fast", he means "accelerating fast". Otherwise spot on.
Last new car, I had choice of turbo 1.5 litre or conventional 2.4 in a ford fusion. I went with 2.4 for the reasons you explained. Cost of repair on a turbo. I haven't regretted the descsion.
My son bought a 1.5 turbo-charged Mercedes Diesel A Class (no he didn't consult me first!). The turbo went at just over 30k would you believe! Thankfully it was covered by warranty otherwise over £900 (GB pounds) for the part alone. Yeah, I'm always checking the quality of engine oil on this car for him. When I first started driving in '68 "turbocharging" just meant adding a bit of Redex to the petrol (haha).
a 1.5 A spec Benz? Why oh God why
I'm not much of a car person myself, I only work on my 40 year old Simson Schwalbe, but your vids are always calming. You're awesome!
I have a 1.0 3cyl Ford Fiesta. Not the fastest car at 0-60 in 8.7 sec. I do get 45+ MPG. so I am not complaining.
for 1.0 litre that is pretty fast
they did make a turbo fiesta they didn't last very long.
I'm sorry to hear about your testicles
8.7 seconds for a 1.0 liter is actually quick for what it is
if you seen an person in one metal cubic in Ford KA in car crash.. i rarer choose larger car than stick to metal wheel chair and drinking from straw.. the rest of my life
You are the best mechanical engineer ever Mr Scotty .. greetings from Egypt
So they do it to save fuel, but the turbo leads to worse fuel economy, more strain on the engine, and are expensive to replace. There's something not right about this ...
Robert Agreed. But when it's gently tested by the EPA (or whatever the testing procedure is these days), it shows better MPG numbers. And that's what the makers want and/or are mandated to get.
Seems there's no way to get past the corruption.
You’re right, it’s called government meddling and no it’s not right!
Same thing with stop/start. It is suppose to save fuel and reduce emissions. But they are going to need more cargo ships from China to transport all the starters needed to replace the original ones that fail within three years. More replacement batteries needed also.
@@micahrichey5335 You can thank Obama for that B.S.
I really enjoy ur vdos. U always make good sense and u speak really well. Love you Sir ❤️
My girlfriend has a 1.6 L turbocharged Kia Optima. Real world miles per gallon is about 30. Her job is 36 miles from home. All highway driving so she's getting to work for about 1 gallon of gas. And it's running on 87 octane 10% ethanol. She was driving a 315 horsepower Camaro, naturally aspirated with a big V6. Obviously the Camaro was a nicer car if you look at luxury, skid pad performance and acceleration Etc. But for the money it's pretty hard to beat a small turbocharged vehicle. Until it comes time to do maintenance. Because those turbocharged cars sure do go through spark plugs a lot quicker. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us
So how many miles per gallon did she get with the Camaro?
Also its her choice but there are other brands that got better Comfort than that kia.
When do would I know to change my spark plugs I got a civic coupe turbocharged 2017
So true, on turbo cars needing spark plugs pretty often; fun to drive.!!!
I hear iridium sparkplugs are more durable.
TheAikons Cameron got about 14mpg combined city/hwy. 10mpg in town, 18 highway. And don’t forget the tires for the Camaro with 20 inch wheels cost over $1000 for a decent set and they last about eight months. The Kia has 16 inch wheels with side walls which can hit a curb and not destroy the rim, and the ride quality is far superior compared to the camero. Like I said the Camaro is a nicer car (depending on how you judge niceness) but it’s way more expensive to operate and own. And the Kia brakes better in the rain. It’s South Florida where I live. Wet traction is very important. And yes I know the Camaro is definitely way cooler and more fun to drive no doubt about it
At 2:38 hahaha "Slow Sluggish Cars" there is a picture of a Fiat : )
i have driven turbocharged cars (gasoline) all my life.. change oil every 10 000 kilometers never had broken turbo.. even tho i might have swapped few turbos for faster ones ~~ costs 400 and 1 hour of work.. depends on a car alot tho
I've only had 1 turbo gas engine.
A 1986 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z.
It was a very sharp car but after 100k miles something was breaking down every week.
At 113k the turbo went out. I sold it to some kid who said he could fix it... $1800 in 1995.
You don’t
2:38 I drove fiat 500 0.9L 3-cylinder auto and was impressed by its speed. It looks sluggish but it don't let that fool you
now we have the 6.2 liter v8 that has 16mpg
and is twin turboed
With turbo gets 6mpg
I wish my Range Rover got 16mpg with its 4.4L.
I'm guessing most people don't get anywhere near 16mpg on the 6.2.
I'm sorry to hear about your mother
You reminded me of seeing young kids in their lifted diesel trucks revving their engines and turn it right off. It’s great on a turbo to still be spinning for 1-2 minutes later without lubrication.
When electric cars become mainstream, "Rev Up your Batteries" wont have the same ring to it.
Joshua Raiford Rev up your battery charger.
They will never become mainstream.
Drove a Mazda MX-6 with a turbo 2.2 liter engine. Brilliant car. Not even a hint of a problem from the turbo and enough “sic ‘em” to get upand run.
Are you familiar with the song, "Little Old Lady from Pasadena?" She was definitely getting bad gas mileage! HA Ha ha!
Mark Dwayne Madsen
Yeah, I remember that old lady being a speed demon!
"Brand new, shiny red super stock Dodge"
Scotty, I am with you. I will keep what I have. Wifes 99 Accord EXL 3.0L with 58000 miles is as technical as she needs. Just changed the timing belt and everything and they looked brand new. Just changed it because of time. Replaced everything with all OEM parts. I do all my own maintenance. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. 👍
And this is why I refuse to by any new car with a turbo engine. In my experience, they're also more prone to blowing seals and gaskets. No thanks.
When they need repairs you get a turbo invoice 😮❗
Unless its a Volkswagen tdi..... those things lasted forever and got amazing mpgs. I miss them
@@leadnsteel1428 yes. but they burn a lot of oil..
NOTHING substitutes for cubic inches!! The bigger the better.
If the government has their way, eventually all cars will have turbocharged engines. I suspect the car companies are in favor of this as they won't last as long and will sell more new cars. Its almost like they're working together.
Torque in a modern turbocharged engine can peak before 2000 RPM, whereas with a naturally aspirated engine it usually dont peak until 4.000 RPM. This is a huge advantage in everyday driving and the main reason, why turbocharging is here to stay.
I love turbochargers. But I don't like how it's used in newer cars. They simply run too hot and cause accelerated aging in cars that have them.
Classic solution is an additional and independent air cooled oil cooler. But most manufacturers simply use a heat exchanger which heats up in unison all the parts connected to the cooling system including the transmission. It messes up everything.
Love my v70 2.5t, gets 30mpg hwy and about 23 in town driving. Key to get good mileage is if you have a boost gauge, watch it and take it easy
3:01 Does that mean that I don't need to wait 1min at the gas stations for my Ford Ranger 2017 turbo to cool off?
I would if you've been driving it at any sort of speed faster than 30mph and exerting the engine in any way
If you've been towing or pulling hills it wouldn't hurt to allow some idle time or a period of slow low load driving to allow temps to drop.
Scotty, next video ideas: how to prevent and fix overboost issues.
2. Why you do and do not want a vehicle with a dual clutch transmission.
arnold schwarzenegger:
Take care of ya turbo charga!
Albert L eeeeh.....funny enough for me. Gave you a like Albert.
Your absolutely right SCOTCH..
The F1 turbo charger four cylinders can pull out over 1000hp decades ago. So combine with today's new technology and improved reliability, turbo charger is fun to have.
I love my 2016 Chevy Tahoe with my V8!!! I like the shutting down from 8 cylinders to 4 cylinders.... I still get 18.4 MPG for combined City and highway driving... 50% of that is in bad stop and go freeway traffic. Not bad for a big beast of a vehicle.
You forgot one advantage, the turbo cars have much better torque at low RPMs!
I'm glad that my new work truck came with a turbo hauling daily around 7 to 8k lbs. Those n/a engines where reliable.. but had enough with gas mileage problems, poor power delivery. Same load, now with turbo charged engine.. i go up straight, hauling grains without hesitations. Glad it came with one.
My BMW 335 turbo lasted to a 100k
DonNoDraper were u fbo ?
2:38 Your absolutely correct, and the horrible part is we don't have an Autobahn to match either. Funny how that works.
Why buy a turbo car when you end up having to buy premium fuel and negating your fuel savings? I'll take a N/A V6 over a turbo 4 thank you
turbos become money pits when they're 5 years old n older.
best to not have a turbo, even
more so on an older car.......
My feelings exactly. 87 gas is about $2.60 right now and 93 gas is like $3.40 around me. The gas price offsets the benefit of the increased mileage from the turbo, and then there's just another thing there to break.
@Silver N Black Mopar i swear people are stupid
@Silver N Black Mopar Damn, that's a huge difference. What's premium gas around then?
TheChevyFan You don’t have to buy premium fuel unless we’re talking some ultra high end sports car like a Ferrari, in which case they won’t run properly on low test gas - but if you’ve got one of those then paying a little extra for premium isn’t an issue. You may lose some performance in a mass market turbo car on standard gasoline, but it’s not going to damage the engine in any way.
You guys who live close to sea level frequently forget that turbocharging makes a HUGE improvement in engine performance when you travel up to high altitudes over the mountains. When I cross the Sierra Nevada or the Cascade Mountains, the turbocharger on my Volvo XC 70 provides a dramatic improvement in performance when climbing steep grades above 7,000 ft ASL.
Ill stick with slow and reliable for my car. If i want to have some fun driving i got a motorcycle for that.
Thankyou you just answered all my concerns of these modern turbo engines
Hey Scotty, When should i replace my blinker fluid?
Already too late. Part out 😅
You get good gas mileage...if you stay out of boost or lightly in boost in a lower RPM range.
SCOTTY
morning!
My grandparents have had a 2011 Kia Forte since new and has 150k on it and still going. They never drove crazy in that car. But they got a new 2018 vw Tiguan with the 2.0 turbo not even a fast one and they drive insane in it
My 2006 Acura TL with a non-turbo V6 gets about 24 MPG with mixed driving. I'll bet more modern V6 engines get better gas mileage now? Turbo 4 cylinders will wear out faster and not get that much better mileage because of driving habits, so sounds like a V6 will be a better balance of economy and performance.
How about 4 cylinder without turbo like my sister new 2.5L camry gets good gas mileage as good as my 2017 Corolla no joke. And it runs quick.
cheesecake late at night yeah because of its new 8 speed trans it’s improved on speed
Al the Pal thats a fine Crafted Machine the Acura V6 is.
Honda made the same J35 engine with VCM (engine turns into an I3) in the Accords that could get 30+ real world mixed driving and 36+ on the highway.
+Al the Pal Hey guy, do you have the 5-speed AT in your TL? If so, has it lasted, or failed?
Reason why I got my 2015 Toyota Camry because of the V6!!
Other car manufacturers got rid of the V6 option!!! Like Accord, Altima, for example.
It does have its benefit but is it really worth it when it fails?
The whole point is to build cars that don't last as long so car companies can sell more new cars. Make them so expensive to fix that the only alternative is to just trade it in when something major goes wrong with it, like a turbo failure.
4:21 lololol Gotta love Scotty! God bless him and all of us :)
Morning scotty
morning!
I love turbos but for my daily driver I,m glad I chose a NA V6
djfelon4life Yea I kinda agree , I have had a ecoboost engine . I never had one motor issue at 80k when i sold it , but I also maintain my stuff better then 90% of people. Having said that , I’m going back to NA engine in gas motors. I’m just convinced these small displacement motors being forced to produce that kind of power is less reliable long term no matter how you look at.
every one knows the most reliable engines are naturally aspirated ones
yes
keith
Truck tc diesels go 1M miles. What about locomotives? Also v durable.
@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt bro. truck engines aren't made to squeeze out max power or for high rpm operation .. locomotives in this example? lmao
Frank Gutowski yeah I think you’re comparing apples and oranges here. Those big diesels are designed to make peak torque at the lowest possible rpm. They are made from huge amounts of cast iron and weigh as much as some of these cars we’re talking about here. They are designed to go 1m miles and they cost accordingly.
Bowtie Guy
Turbocharger failures in all types of engines are typically caused by bearing failure.
Turbocharged automotive engines do not rev faster than normally aspirated engines. Though they may reach top speed sooner, their rpm range is the same.
Should also mention that going faster than the speed limit can be VERY counter-productive.
There is just no replacement for displacement.
Agreed. Just watched a review on a 2019 Silverado with a 2.7 liter turbo charged four banger. Makes no sense at all.
22 mpg is what makes no sense. The 5.3 V8 is capable of that.
The Ford mustang EcoBoost (4 cylinder) weighs 55 pounds more than the V6 model plus cost more to fix.
Ive driven both model vehicles no performance difference (power, acceleration, MPG). Ford then canceled the V6 in 2018.
And I still hate the EcoBoost!
Just thought I'd rant on the internet, I'll see myself out. lol
Mercedes did the same with their 3.5 V6 blue efficiency just to send the 2.0T 4 pot crap!
yup cause everyone needs a 300+hp grocery getter...
It's for like, safety reasons or something.
Well, seeing as most people can't/won't spend for two new quality cars; making the one you do get as fun as possible seems like a good idea to me.
So what I got from this video is why I should buy a 1994 Toyota Celica. Got it.
Dont rev up your Nissan Qashqai 1.2T CVT
Good video. Does anyone know if turbos lose their boost over time? Do they fail all at once, or is there a slow decline in HP as barring, fan blades, etc. wear?
I just checked my car's motor oil it's darker than Eddie Murphy.time for oil change.
Is it darker than Charlie Murphy?
Is it darker then that rapper Akon?
Is it darker than Wesley Snipes?
Is it darker than black ?
My coolant is as red as his leather jumpsuit.
T cars have their place like my Solstice GXP, 07 with less than 20K miles. Change the oil every 2K with Mobil 1. My daily driver though is a somewhat old school 5.3 V8. The solstice is super fun and runs circles around my Silverado but I'm expecting much better mileage life out of the V8. Choose your power plant based on your needs.
I'm totally okay with cheaper older cars. I blow my money on motorcycles though. I should stop doing that
Acceleration requires a lot more power than cruising at steady speeds. Small engines with turbos fitted, plus cylinder shut off technology, solve the power/efficiency conundrum.
Take a shot at how many times Scotty says turbocharger.
My 2020 Cadillac XT4 Premium Luxury 4 cylinder turbo engine is great so far. Has many years of warranty and besides, I don't drive like I am on race track.
Volvo used to make good reliable cars in the 70's - early 90's.. I wouldn't buy one now.
best to stay away from volvo ,
saab , n audi.....especially the
ones with turbos, n get a Honda or Toyota...they're better cars.......
Imagine the turbo AND supercharged 4 cylinder in the 2 ton plus XC90 SUV. Good luck.
Volvo has gotten very expensive as well.
I’m sure that’s why their cars keep winning awards every year and are rated the safest
You're great buddy. I've just found your YT Channel. Keep on doing a good job.
Rev up your small engine turbo cars
Hey Scotty!! Thank you for your videos and the variety of topics! I know you've done previous videos on Honda and how you believe their engines are very good. I'm close to purchasing the Accord MT 1.5Turbo, do you think I should consider a different car without a turbocharger? And are turbochargers usually covered under power-train warranties?
Which is better Scotty k20a or sr20det..please answer
K20
K20
I hear a lot about the sr20det being a good motor but quite fragile when heavily modded.
My dream Japanese sports cars are the Lexus LFA, lexus LC F (when it comes out), and Acura TL Type S.
Superchargers are better than turbochargers. Change my mind.
Razor The engine gets strained more due to the Supercharger relying on the engine to make power and not a turbine that turns the exhaust gases into fresh air for the explosions
It gets worse MPG since it pushes the engine more
Its generally more unreliable
It doesn't work properly in low displacement or low power engines since it takes out more power for the SC than the engine has
Fyi if you want to supercharge a car, it better have a V6 with more than 2.5 liters of displacement and a good enough block to handle the punishment of the SC, otherwise they are useless in econo-boxes of any type. Superchargers are going extinct in a few years, but Electric superchargers seem to be a good enough concept to prevail
Can't change your mind when you're right!
Putting one on a Skyline make you a heathen.
I supercharged my 1.5 L ;)
I agree. It is odd that turbos are so popular. They are good when running a constant RPM such as a tractor or big rig, but less so in stop and go driving. Which is where we do most of our driving and superchargers excel. I am still a fan of displacement!!
Always fill the oil filter with oil when you change the oil in turbo applications Scott NH
Carbon build-up, turbo failure, lifespan deficiency and uneven torque curve.
The actual reason turbo cars do not get claimed mileage is because higher cylinder pressure increases the likelihood of detonation, so extra fuel is added to cool down the combustion chamber. Just cruising around, the turbo is not doing a whole lot and cylinder pressure is relatively low, therefore a lean and efficient burn can be used. Drag race every stoplight or throw a trailer behind your ecoboost, and the computer is dumping fuel in like crazy to keep your engine from blowing up.
yo anyone naturally aspirated ? no...only me ?

@@div76 guy, u should of got the 1.5T, I smoked a 5.9 V8 from a 98 Dakota R/T 3 times and was faster than a Ram REBEL
AND THESE ARE STRAIGHT FACTS
Nah, I'm there with you. N/A V6 J-series Honda motor.
I drive a Skoda Octavia 1.4 tsi as a taxi in city all day and get 42-44mpg . I used to get the same mpg in the many diesels I had before but petrol is cheaper in the UK and more importantly I get no DPF issues . Mechanics told me to go petrol for those reasons and also labour costs would be less as they are easier to work on . I try to let my turbo cool for couple of mins after heavy work and change oil often.
The EPA is really ruining modern gasoline/diesel engine designs and their progress
An old guy friend of mine that drives kinda slow had a turbo charged 2017 Ford F-150... dumb charger blew out at 50,000 miles! $4,000 repair fortunately it was under Warranty.
Government regulations. It's OK though, we will still buy the sick turbo cars like the bmws, type r, etc
I don't like the type r, would rather get a 2.0t Accord and tune it
well if you wanna waste money go ahead
Wasting money is my favorite past time
Lol he said type R
hey Scotty, a question for you. Love your channel by the way. Does turbocharging an engine decreases its life span since it makes a smaller engine stronger? thank you
How to take care of Ecoboost engines
Scotty, you're awesome. Really liked the way you explained all that turbo charger stuff. I still prefer the 671 supercharger in a 69 Camaro getting 8 miles in town...lol!
My 2018 Volvo turbocharged xc90 has poor gas mileage bc I hate driving slow.
Get a V6 Lexus or Hyundai. You won’t be disappoint.
David Perry possibly but I just miss my gas guzzler high performance BMW X5 50i
The Ford ecoboost engines are the same way. As someone said in another video, you either get eco or boost not both. The only way to get great fuel mileage with a turbo is drive like a grandma. Where's the fun in that?
Wait a minute. So youre telling me if I floor the car all the time its gonna get bad gas mileage?
another good video scotty
Rev up your little old ladies from Pasadena.
Can we appreciate that scotty has a great ability to make videos and a good sense of humor using memes even though hes almost in his/probably in his 70s? Like who else at that age has any internet/video editing skills?
Yes
There are good reasons why Toyota engines are not going turbo. They are not stupid. They have the customer's welfare in mind. Turbo makes you feel good... in the short term. Sooner than later turbos need repair, and you will appreciate Toyota's less than stellar boring non-turbo engines. Hahahah LOL. Keep your money in your pocket. Don't let the marketing bling scam you.
I hate to say it, but your Little Old Lady from Pasadena reference is backwards, because as mentioned in the song, "she's gonna get a ticket sooner or later because she can't keep her foot off the accelerator."
