Kyle said, “This right here is probably why I will never own a new car ever again.”

He said that he discovered his tail light was out after he got pulled over, and he showed viewers the simple repair he made to fix it with a screwdriver and a few screws.

Kyle added, “There’s things on new cars that are easy to fix, but this 2000 Tacoma, I literally bought this thing because 90 percent of the stuff that it takes to maintain this car, I can do by myself and save myself a ton of money.”
