“MY TRUCK HAS 250,000 KM. IS IT EVEN WORTH FIXING?”

Repair or NEW PAYMENTS FOR LIFE?

We hear versions of this all the time.

But mileage isn't the whole story.

Is the truck paid for?
Is the body solid?
Do you know its history?
Has it been maintained?
What would replacing it cost you?

Sometimes putting money into the truck you already know makes a whole lot more sense than taking on payments for one you don't.

SO LET’S SETTLE IT:

Your truck has 200,000 km and needs a transmission.

FIX IT — or TRADE IT? 👇

Tell us year, make and mileage. We'll see which side wins.

WHAT’S A CVT — AND WHY DON’T WE REBUILD THEM?

A CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) uses a different technology than the traditional automatic transmissions we specialize in — typically pulleys with a steel belt or chain rather than conventional fixed gears.

You’ll find CVTs in many Nissan, Honda, Subaru, Toyota and Mitsubishi vehicles.

Can they be rebuilt? Yep.
Do we rebuild them? Nope.

Why? Different technology. Different parts. Different specialty.

We used to do everything from tires to transmissions. Now we stick to what we know best:

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS.

No tires. No oil changes. No trying to be everything to everybody.

Just transmissions. No BS. No frills. Know your trade. Do it right.

🛻 “I TOWED A LOT THIS SUMMER…
NOW IT SLIPS GOING UP HILLS. WHAT’S UP?”

That’s your truck telling you something changes when it’s under load.

Towing puts extra load and heat into a transmission. If it starts slipping, flaring RPMs, shuddering or struggling to hold a gear when you're pulling a trailer or climbing a hill, don't assume it just needs a fluid change — and don't assume it automatically needs a whole transmission either.

It could involve fluid level/condition, hydraulic pressure, converter issues, valve-body/solenoid problems, or internal clutch wear.

HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART:

Slipping creates heat. Heat can create more damage.

So if your truck spent the summer hauling the camper, boat or work trailer and now something feels different...

That's worth diagnosing BEFORE the next big tow.

🛻 SATURDAY ROLL CALL

Show us the truck you WON’T sell.

You know the one.

Maybe it's worth $8,000.
Maybe you've put $20,000 into it. 😂
Maybe your wife wants it gone.
Maybe your husband says “I'm gonna fix it this winter.”
Maybe it was your dad's.
Maybe you bought it at 19.
Maybe there's absolutely no logical reason to keep it.

Doesn't matter.

Some vehicles aren't worth what they're worth on paper.

THEY'RE WORTH WHAT THEY MEAN TO YOU.

👇 DROP A PHOTO OF YOUR KEEPER IN THE COMMENTS.

And tell us WHY you'll never sell it.

We'll start:

Old trucks. New trucks. Pretty trucks. Project trucks.
We want to see 'em all.

Your first car wasn’t supposed to be cool. It was supposed to be yours.

You dreamed about a Trans Am, Camaro, or something that actually turned heads. Then Dad handed you the keys to whatever was sitting in the driveway. Suddenly that Pinto looked pretty good—because four wheels and a full tank meant freedom.

💰🚗 **CAR OF THE DAY: HOW MUCH?!**

Okay… we may have found the **ultimate Car of the Day.**

Meet the **1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé.**

Beautiful? Absolutely.

Rare? **Only TWO were ever built.**

But here's the part that made us spit out our coffee:

In 2022, one sold at auction for…

🥁🥁🥁

**€135 MILLION.**

That's roughly **$143 MILLION USD at the time.**

For.

**ONE.**

**CAR.** 😳

It became the **most expensive car ever sold at auction.**

And yes, there's a reason.

Mercedes built only two of these extraordinary machines. It was essentially a road-going version of their legendary 300 SLR racing car, developed under engineer **Rudolf Uhlenhaut** — who actually used one as his company car.

Imagine casually commuting to work in something that would eventually be worth more than most of us could spend in several lifetimes. 😂

But forget the investment value for a minute.

We have a MUCH more important question:

👇 **YOU JUST PAID $143 MILLION FOR A CAR.**

Are you:

🔑 **A — DRIVING IT.** Cars were made to be driven.

🏛️ **B — Putting it in a climate-controlled glass box and staring at it.**

😂 **C — Sitting inside it in the garage making engine noises because you're terrified to turn the key.**

Because for $143 million…

**we're not even parking beside a shopping cart.**

*We love old cars.*

*Apparently some people REALLY love old cars.* 😂

Lets face it, no one is gonna be excited in 20 years to find Grandpas KIA.

🛻 **CAR OF THE DAY: HAVE WE FINALLY COME TO OUR SENSES?**

We just talked about **$80,000 minivans.**

We've got pickup trucks pushing six figures.

Touchscreens the size of televisions.

Heated this. Cooled that. Cameras, computers and enough electronics to launch a small satellite.

And then somebody apparently said:

**“What if we just made… a TRUCK?” 😂**

Meet the **Slate Truck.**

And yes — **it's real.**

🇺🇸 Starting price: **$24,950 USD**
⚡ Fully electric
🔋 Estimated **205-mile / 330-km range**
🛻 **1,550-lb payload**
💪 Up to **2,000-lb towing**
🪟 Manual crank windows
📺 **NO giant touchscreen**
🎵 A stereo isn't even standard
🔧 Designed with simpler repairs and DIY in mind
🧩 Add the accessories YOU actually want later

You can even convert the little bu**er from a two-seat pickup into a **five-seat SUV.**

Slate says first deliveries are expected to begin in **late 2026**, although it's still a pre-production vehicle and specs can change.

And THAT'S what interests us.

Not necessarily because it's electric.

Not because it's fancy.

**Because it isn't.**

For years we've watched vehicles become bigger, heavier, more complicated and WAY more expensive.

Maybe there's still a market for the person who just wants:

**Four wheels.
A box.
A heater.
A steering wheel.
And a payment that doesn't require a second job. 😂**

Unfortunately, Canadians, put your wallets away for now. 🇨🇦

Slate currently says it **doesn't have plans to sell it in Canada.**

But we HOPE this idea catches on.

Because whether it's gas, hybrid or electric, we'd love to see manufacturers remember that there's still room in the world for a **small, affordable, uncomplicated work truck.**

👇 **WOULD YOU BUY ONE?** If this makes it to Canada what do you think our pricing will looks like? I don't' think we see this...

And more importantly:

**What would YOUR perfect basic truck have — and what modern crap would you happily leave OFF it?**

**THE TRANSMISSION WAREHOUSE**

Sometimes less really might be more.
