00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,559
Speaker 1: Ron Andanian, how come all these cars have these little

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: tiny dinky scissor jacks. Not only do they have a

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: little tiny scissor jacks that you question how strong they are,

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: but you know, just trying to get them out of

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: the car, you know you need an engineering degree to

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: get it back in the car. Once you take it apart,

7
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: it's like a rufe It's cube that car doctor. Remember

8
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: in high school when they were feeding us those bar

9
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: graphs with the digital with the numbers on them, we

10
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: said we were gonna need this stuff for and we

11
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: all we all kind of giggled and laughed. And you know,

25
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: been trying to do this for two weeks now. There's

26
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: a gentleman out there. We haven't heard from him in

27
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: quite some time. And he was always a good conversation

28
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: to have, Uh to talk with, A good person to

29
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: talk with. Have a conversation with a gentleman by the

30
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: name of Ellis, Virginia right tony. He was from Virginia. Um,

31
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: we haven't talked to Ellis. It's gotta be three years

32
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: to three years something like that. We were thinking about

33
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: him the other day and what what made Ellis stand

34
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: out in our minds was that, because we get a

35
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: lot of phone calls, we talked to a lot of people.

36
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: Is he was legally blind and he was hiding cars

37
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: in the corn fields of his farm because he you know,

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: he was in his eighties, I think he said, and

39
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: he still loved to drive, and he was out there

40
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: driving around on the corn field because his wife was

41
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: all so partially blind and she couldn't she couldn't see

42
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: what he was doing. And you know, we just we

43
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: kind of chuckle about the dedication of car people and

44
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: what they what they go through. But we haven't heard

45
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: from Ellison quite some time. We you know, we we

46
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: we we fear the worst. But if he's out there, Ellis,

47
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: if you're out there, buddy, we we'd like to hear

48
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: from you again and see how you're progressing, if you're

49
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: if you're able to do so, and see if you've

50
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: picked up any new cars. I think the last time

51
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: we talked to him he was cruising Anti seven Cadillac

52
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: Coupe Deville out through the corn fields of his farm

53
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: in Virginia. So just Ellis, if you're there, you know,

68
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: this hour, UM, I want to talk about autonomous cars,

69
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: self driving cars. Tom handed me something today when we

70
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: came when I came in to do the show about

71
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: from the City of Boston, the City of Boston website

72
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: autonomous vehicles. The City of Boston is now trying to

73
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: sell us on self driving cars. And it's it's kind

74
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: of scary and I've sort of I liked the idea

75
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: of self driving cars up to a point, but the

76
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: way they're selling it, Okay, Um, they're selling it right

77
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: off the bat, and this is right off their website.

78
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: You can go up there and take a look at

79
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: I don't have the website in front of me, Tom,

80
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: get me the website address place, but you can go.

81
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: They say, safer streets. The overwhelming majority of crashes on

82
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: our streets are caused by human error, no kidden. The

83
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: promise of autonomous vehicles is to eliminate up to those crashes.

84
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: I just read this week that the driver of the

85
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: self driving car out and where was it? Phoenix, Arizona?

86
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: We're or that where Unfortunately there was a fatality. The

87
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: woman was killed late at night, was because the backup

88
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: driver was watching a broadcast of the voice on her

89
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: mobile device and disabled the stop feature of the car.

90
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: So are we doing this? I mean, yeah, it's it's

91
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: It would be nice, but there's still always gonna be

92
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: human error. It's not a perfect world, folks. All right,

93
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: better access who stands to benefit from most of this technology,

94
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: and it's applied the right way. I wonder what the

95
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: right way means? We have days of doing this right?

96
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: The aging population and those with visual impairments. Those looking

97
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: to reduce the burden of personal vehicle ownership. That is

98
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: the first time I have ever seen those words. Those

99
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: looking to reduce the burden of personal vehicle ownership. You know,

100
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: I gotta say this, and this is right up there

101
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: with the black helicopter conspiracy. But is the government looking

102
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: to take away cars from us? You know, I'm gonna

103
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: read that again. Those looking to reduce the burden of

104
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: personal vehicle ownership and those of that access to rapid transit.

105
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: Where are we going with this. Is this going to

106
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: become a world of Logan's run? Is this going to

107
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: become a world of you know, self driving cars? And

108
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: and now they can limit where those cars go and

109
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: they can track where we're going. I don't like this.

110
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm starting to turn my head the other way on

111
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: this that I think the autonomous cars is. You know,

112
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen overnight, but over the course of

113
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: the next generation. And you know, fifty years from now,

114
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: where's the country gonna be. They're gonna be controlling. You know,

115
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna look back at this version maybe this version

116
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: of the twentieth century, the century is going to be Wow.

117
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: I remember when Grandpa got in his own car and

118
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: drove it somewhere and and you know, we didn't need

119
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: pass cards and security checkpoints and and and devices to

120
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: get through the way. We have to have devices to

121
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: get through airport terminals. Now. Tommy had a comment. You know,

122
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say that for for the listeners

123
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: who haven't been to Boston, and we cover we cover all,

124
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: you know, the entire United States plus HAWAYI um, Boston

125
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: is a colonial era of town, even though it's a

126
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: city and downtown Boston where they're gonna be testing this

127
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: very narrow, very narrow streets, cobble stones, and people drive

128
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: like morons down there, I mean very bluntly. And this boy,

129
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: this scares me. This really scares me. Yeah, it's it's

130
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 1: we're taking a graduated approach to autonomous vehicle testing in Boston.

131
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: It says any company will be constrained in the time, place,

132
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: and manner of their testing Before testing on streets. Companies

133
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: must meet off street and are important standards E's Emmanuel

134
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: take over from autonoas motor emergency braking and stop functionality,

135
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: and basic driving capabilities such as staying within the lane.

136
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: Shouldn't we have that as the standard now? I mean,

137
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't any autonomis vehicle be able to do that? Isn't

138
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: that sort of a requirement before we allow testing at all?

139
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: Shouldn't this? Shouldn't this have been done in Arizona where

140
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: it's wide open spaces before we now take things out

141
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: the colonias. Tom says colonial streets with cobblestones in the

142
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: city of Boston. Doesn't Boston have enough problems? I mean

143
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: they got the Red Sox. Sorry I had to take

144
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: a shot. Um, Hey, hey, there's nothing wrong with the

145
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: Red Sox. The Red Sox are doing just fine. Well,

146
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: they're playing well this year. Yeah, easy fellas, easy boy,

147
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: you guys. It's it's hard. It's not hard to get

148
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: you guys off track, is it? Um? And I like,

149
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: you know what, I actually like the Red Sox. I

150
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: was very happy and and I'll show you my Red

151
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: Sox knowledge. I think it was two thousand four, two

152
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: thousand four, the Red Sox one this series, yeah four,

153
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: So I see that I was following them. Um. I

154
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: always root for the underdog. Um. You know I can't

155
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: root for the Mets. But that's another story. Um, but

156
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: you gotta go read this. If if you've got any

157
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: interest in the Times vehicles, go up to the City

158
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: of Boston website. Tom, you have that website? Oh, go

159
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: where is it? Where are we? Oh? Boston got gov? Okay,

160
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: off the Boston dot gov website. Go look up the

161
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: go Boston Planning and um see what they're trying to do.

162
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: And you know what, I think you've got to take

163
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: a stand. I think as citizens, we've got to make

164
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: our voices here and we've got to pay more attention

165
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: to autonomous vehicles. And what it's really all about. If

166
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: you go to the website and go about midway down

167
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 1: on the page, you'll find the link to the article

168
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: that you can't miss. Its huge. I mean that line

169
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: about looking to reduce the burden of personal vehicle ownership. Wow, uh,

170
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: you know what? Autonomous cars have their place the elderly,

171
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: those that can't afford a car or you know, uh,

172
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: or those that don't want to get into a car.

173
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 1: But then again, would you get into a car? You

174
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: know if if people I know, some people I know

175
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: went to a wedding last week and they ubered back

176
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: and forth from home and they I said, whine and

177
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: they said, wow, there was gonna be an open bar

178
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have a couple of drinks. And okay,

179
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Could you imagine if you're hammered and

180
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: you get into a self driving car, would you want

181
00:08:52,480 --> 00:09:00,479
Speaker 1: to do that? I you know, beyond my comprehension. Um,

182
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: not good, not good at all, folks. So just just

183
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: something to be aware of and um, you know, just

184
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 1: uh just take it from there. So anyway, this radio

185
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: show is about, well, comments on self driving cars, also

186
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: comments on whatever you've got going on with what's bothering

187
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: you and your automobile, whatever that might be. Um some

188
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: insights about what went on in the shop a little

189
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: bit later on this hour, but right now we're gonna

190
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: pull over and take a pause five zero zero ning

191
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: ending of the Car Doctor. We'll be back or right

192
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: after this when the family car needs some fixing. There's

193
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: only two things that really matter, getting the right part

194
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: and getting some good advice. It's a pretty safe bet that,

195
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: with over a million parts in stock, pet Boys has

196
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: the right part right now. The pet Boys pros are

197
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: extensively trained to find the right part for just about

198
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: any car truck. Better Yet, these pros can also handle

199
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: the entire installation or service needed. It's always good to

200
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: have options and no the pet Boys pros have it

201
00:09:52,600 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: covered either way. When you get keep Ron's number hand

Speaker 1: nine zero zero. By the way, I got a Car

206
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 1: Doctor question. You just can't get in on the phones.

207
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: Ron at Car Doctor show dot com. Send an email question.

208
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: Either we'll answer it that way, or I'll answer it

209
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: here on air, or include your phone number, Tom Ray,

210
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: We'll call you back and get you in the next

211
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: life queue. So we'll try to do it a multiple

212
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: multitude of ways, and um, we'll do it that way.

213
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: By the way, the opening theme music for today was

214
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: at my personal request, does anybody know the soundtrack going Once,

215
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: Going twice? Chips? There you go. I just it was Chips.

216
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: That was and that was the best I watched. I

217
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: watched the Chip I watch a Chip Chips episode every day.

218
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 1: I have no life anymore. And you know, it's just

219
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: it's hilarious when you look at the cars that are there,

220
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: and it's interesting to note as the show's evolved, they must,

221
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: you know, the cars are like the act like actors

222
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: in the sense that they rotate the type and the

223
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: color and the year make models around, so you're always

224
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: seeing different cars from the seventies and then later on

225
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: the eighties. Um, it was really great. I watched an

226
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: episode last night where Hunt's Hall. I'm looking at the

227
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: driver of the armored car and I'm going, I think

228
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: that's Zach from The Bowery Boys. It was hunts Hall

229
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: driving the car. It must have been one of his

230
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: last appearances. Um on television. It was kind of it

231
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: was kind of funny to watch. It's you know, there's

232
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: a lot of history in these old shows. So but

233
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: thanks Tom, I appreciated that. I thought it was great music. Anyway. Um,

234
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: now that I spilled my guts and personal emotions, let's

235
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: go over and talk to Dan Sayahville, New Jersey, thirteen

236
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: Chevy Tahoe. Dan, welcome to the car, doctor, sir. What's

237
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: going on? Yeah that much? Thanks about a uh two

238
00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: thousand TV Chevy Tower hybrids. Uh five man talk, you're

239
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: not out of New York City. And we took the

240
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: cart to the side. Uh uh side, Uh we has

241
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: side accident. So we fixed we had door, but they've

242
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: cut a couple of eyes from the terminal two to

243
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: coming out of posts well in the cowing start. So

244
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: when the catt connected those two eyes, then the light

245
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: came up, but the cowing start. So I told you

246
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: do do said, uh, we know, you know you're gonna

247
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: have to spend about three thousand for us to churn

248
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: out the hanns. And before we even start to do

249
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: any badness to the car, so I said, figure out,

250
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: this doesn't make kind of sense. It's just a couple

251
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: of eyes there runner scan or something to you out

252
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: what's going on? Well, yeah, I mean what's let's well,

253
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: let's have a conversation this way. How many is a

254
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: couple of wires? Dan? Two? Three? No? Two? There were

255
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: two out of a post and there were three coming

256
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: out of a hanness okay side, and those three could

257
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: be connect did you could tell? They obviously could be

258
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: going to the post. So there's three to from the

259
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: post and three coming out of the hannis. So so

260
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: the five wires all together that were cut their their

261
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: vehicle operation. Do they have anything to do with the

262
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: high current or um the hybrid side of the vehicle's operation?

263
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: Do you know? Uh? Not not not not that I know. Uh,

264
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: it has to do with either the light coming on,

265
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: but I know when the mechanics, you know, he's not

266
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: hyvy mechanic. He just connected his wires together and they

267
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: light came up on the car. So that's what he did.

268
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: So and that's just that. Not sure they were. They're

269
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: not part of it. I don't think they're part of

270
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: a hybrid. They're just part of a hannis. Did you

271
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: did you ask did you ask the dealership why they

272
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: can't just temporarily jumper those five together and just diagnose

273
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the car from there. That's a good question.

274
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: That's something that I'm gonna have to talk to them.

275
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: The cost with them. I told him I was throwing

276
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: it today. Then I remember, wait a minute, at yeah,

277
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the the and I appreciate that.

278
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: The the the argument kind of becomes, you know, Okay,

279
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: let's say we jumper those five wires and they they

280
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: diagnose it and it needs a widget, and that widget's

281
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: another five grand. You know what, maybe maybe you're not

282
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: ready to put eight grand into a Tahoe hybrid that

283
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: was a fire department vehicle that's I'm guessing has higher

284
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: mileage on it. Uh, you know, so it's not bad.

285
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know that's not bad mileage. That The

286
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: problem with cut wires is it depends on where they are,

287
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: how accessible they are. Can they can they be gotten

288
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: to and properly repaired. Sometimes sometimes the harness is, you know,

289
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: in a bad spot that the cut wire is there's

290
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: only an inch of cut wire coming out of a

291
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: major pigtail. You can't get your hands in there to

292
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: solder or anything. There's a connection you know, it's it's

293
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: got to be a good clean connection. It's gotta be

294
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: able to carry the current um and it's got to

295
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: be able to be properly tucked back in to prevent

296
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: to protect it from the elements. You know, maybe that's

297
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: why they're saying replace it. You know, it's it's it's

298
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: also maybe they don't want the liability of you know,

299
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: the what if that you know, what if they try

300
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: and and and I understand that too. You know it's listen,

301
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: time is money in a repair shop. From from the

302
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: sounds of it, you know, it's five simple wires. Let's

303
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: say it's five simple easy to get two wires. There's

304
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: there's easily a couple of hours of time there. You know,

305
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this this, this, this, you know,

306
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: lighthearted effort becomes ay, it's five to fix these five wires,

307
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: and we don't know if that's gonna solve the problem

308
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: of the car. So I get what they're saying. They're

Speaker 1: You need you know, what do we where do we

Speaker 1: gonna drive it? Okay? So let me ask you the

318
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: question this way you're gonna put You're gonna you're gonna

319
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: put your family all in it, go on trips, vacations, whatever. Yes,

320
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: what kind of problems do you want to have with

321
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: the car? Do you want to have? And just hear

322
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: me out, do you want to have electrical issues that

323
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: are strange two years from now that you know developed

324
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: because the harness? You know, there's nothing like a fresh

325
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: harness in a vehicle versus a repaired one. All right,

326
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: even though a repaired one done properly will last, but

327
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: you know there's something nicer about that that that that

328
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: that that fresh fit harness. To tell you the truth,

329
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm kind of amazed they can still get a wiring

330
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: harness for a six year old vehicle. And you know,

331
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: you got to think about that if two years from

332
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: now the artists that they repair develops other issues and

333
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: you can't get the harness because now it's an eight

334
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: year old vehicle. Now that now that dollar a good

335
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: deal car that you got for't worth anything. So so

336
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: maybe it's hey, listen, guys, can you find a guy

337
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: in the shop. I'm willing to I'm willing to put

338
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: five worth of research into this, all right, and and

339
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: look at it as can you? Can you jump for

340
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: the five wires? You know? Why are the rest of

341
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: the lights on? What's wrong with the rest of the car?

342
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm willing And if you approach it from that perspective,

343
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: maybe they'll sit there and go, you know, this guy

344
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: is not and don't take offense at this. This guy

345
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: is not a screaming idiot. This this guy really wants

346
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: to fix the car, all right. Um. You know what.

347
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: One of the things I've learned in order repair is

348
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: people will show you who they are if if you

349
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: learn to watch and listen. And I've learned that dealing

350
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: with other shops, I've learned. I've learned that in dealing

351
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: with consumer is with people that come into me, and

352
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 1: sometimes the people that appear to be the worst people

353
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: to deal with turn out to be the best people

354
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 1: to deal with if you give them enough, you know,

355
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 1: and you give them enough, you know, to work with. Um.

356
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: I I think we as a society tend to cringe

357
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: when we're when we're faced with because it's a tough

358
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: situation and you know, maybe they're afraid to talk to you.

359
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: So it's you know what I think. I think they

360
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: do looking at all the wise and figure out, you

361
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: know what if we put our hands on this. Because

362
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: when I said, I told the guy, I will come

363
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: in to say, okay, fine, you can come and through

364
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: it out of that, So it's it's you know what,

365
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: how about listen? If I tell you, can you jump

366
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 1: around and tell me what else is wrong with it?

367
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: Then I'll go from there. Because maybe the car is

368
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: worth putting three grand in. Maybe the car is worth

369
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: putting five grand in. You only pay fifty two and

370
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: it's worth twenty five. Good luck to you, Dan, let

371
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: me know what you end up doing. I'm run on

372
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: any of the car Doctor. I'll be back right after

373
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: the welcome back. We're on ending the car doctor zero

374
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: nine zero zero. UM. I think next week I've got

375
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: to remember, Tony, this is your assignment for next week.

376
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 1: Next week, I want to do an opening conversation about

377
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: two cars. I had in the shop this week about

378
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: vehicle cut and the air conditioning problems on the eight

379
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: eight Lincoln town Car, because it had me thinking about how,

380
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: you know, the newer cars when the technology, when the

381
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: car fails, the technology fixes the car on a consistent

382
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: basis each and every time. On those two cars, one

383
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: was an early GM product and the other one was

384
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: a Lincoln. UM it was characteristic of that time, and

385
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't think the things that I remembered were written down.

386
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: And we're gonna talk about that next week in one

387
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: of the two hours we've gotta remember, so somebody's got

388
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: to remind me. Next I want to talk about UM

389
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: old car technology repairing them and UM how that's gonna

390
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: be gone. So twenty years from now, what's it gonna

391
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: look like when you get an antique to work on.

392
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: Let's go and talk to Danny Northern Maine with a

393
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: two thousand six Colorado that UM has a misfire every

394
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: once in a while, or a skip, as Danny put it, Danny,

395
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: welcome to the car doctor. Sure, glad to have you

396
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: run an indy and at your service. What's going on? Great?

397
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: I'm that individual from Northern Maine where my wife believes

398
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: in you so much. And uh, what I did is

399
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: I purchased this vehicle. As you know, we have RUSS,

400
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: quite a bit of RUSS issues in northern Maine. But

401
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: the vehicle was from It was a Southern vehicle. It

402
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: has a hundred and forty thousand bounds L five engine

403
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: just broken. Um, well, I hope so. Uh, but i'm

404
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: i'm I want to get you know, it's a hobby

405
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: and i've i've i'm working on it and I it's

406
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: a four door something. Uh tried it and make it,

407
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: ah if not an everyday vehicle, but a vehicle so

408
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: that my wife can use and be proud of. Um.

409
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: The problem is is ever so often and that's why

410
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: I'm hesitant to that and look at the throttle body

411
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: and so forth. But there's a skip once in a while.

412
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't there's no codes. Uh, it seems to run fine,

413
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: but ever so often it seems to creep up on

414
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: neither Thottle seems to creep up on me. I gotta

415
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: put the brakes on. Doesn't happen often, but it's it

416
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: appears to have a slight vibration. But it's a five cylinder.

417
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: So this this engine is kind of new to me.

418
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: So before I go any further, that's why I'm giving

419
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: you a call asking what you think. Are you nervous, Danny,

420
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit nervous because I've read stuff online.

421
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: But like anything else, you don't read online, you go

422
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: ask like if you're if you have a medical issue,

423
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: don't go online, go see a doctor. So I'll do

424
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: the same thing here. I'm calling the medical doctor the

425
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: car doctor instead of but I did go look online.

426
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: Then I got nervous. Okay, take take a take take

427
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: it easy, to take a breath. Brother, It's only a

428
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: broken car, um. And remember ten years from now, you

429
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: want to remember this car. I guarantee you. So. Yeah. Um,

430
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: let's baseline it all right, And this is sometimes what

431
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: you have to do when you have a problem like this.

432
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: And I could give you that, I could give you

433
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: the long, the long side of the barn conversation about

434
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: using a scan tool and looking at mode six and

435
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm glad to do that. But let's talk about things

436
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: that I think you should try to do to to

437
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: to bring the car back to a base, to a

438
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: stable point. Um. Number one, let's clean the throttle body.

439
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: You're talking about idol fluctuation in the way the idol

440
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: creeps up, and you know that it's got a little

441
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: bit of a rough idol. It almost sounds like you're

442
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: talking about it's it's it's got a drone to it

443
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: or a residence to it. That makes me think it's

444
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: not idling properly. Let's clean the throttle plate. Are you

445
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 1: familiar with that? Do you know where a throttle plate that? Yeah,

446
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: I'm very familiar. I'm also sixty years old. I it.

447
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: But I again, I wanted to call talk to you

448
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: before I because I have all kinds of things like

449
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: in my mind of timing change and premature of ALP

450
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: guide failures and the house. So I said, let me

451
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: and my wife said, why don't you call Rock? Yeah?

452
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: I mean so, so let's do the simple stuff. First.

453
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: Let's let's clean the throttle plate and you know, take

454
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: the intake ducked off. Let's let's wipe out the throttle

455
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: housing really well. Now you know, when you clean the

456
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: throttle housing, it's it's not spray the entire can of

457
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: throttle body cleaner in there, and then another can on

458
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: top of it. It's with electronic throttle drive and throttle control.

459
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: What I'll do is I'll spray the rag and then

460
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: use the rag to gently wipe the inside of the

461
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: housing out so I'm not you know, spraying all over

462
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 1: the place like an uncontrolled, you know, explosion. All right,

463
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: let's let's wipe out the throttle housing. Let's clean the

464
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: blade on both sides a small toothbrush, preferably when you're

465
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: not gonna use again. Um is always good to clean

466
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: the inside of the throttle housing because it'll it'll it'll

467
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: scrape away at the crut. Alright, let's get the throttle

468
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: plate as clean as we can. Let's do a battery

469
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: disconnect after that. Okay, let's let the battery sit for

470
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: disconnected for ten minutes and then connect back up. And

471
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: let's relearn the idol. And relearning the idol. On most cars,

472
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: this one included, it's just basic started up, no load on,

473
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: no A C on, no you know, heat, et cetera,

474
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: lit it idol for a couple of minutes, put it

475
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: in drive, turn the air conditioning on, you know, sort

476
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: of teach the car the way you might teach a

477
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: small child about how to idol. Think of the car

478
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: as a child, and you're explaining to it. Hey, here's

479
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: how you're supposed to IDOL when you're all factory fresh

480
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: and scrub clean. In terms of throttle body. Let's see

481
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: what it does that way. Uh, that's step one. That's

482
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: baselining the throttle. That's baseline in the IDOL strategy. And

483
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: then drive it taken around the block, mild acceleration, you know,

484
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: don't go crazy, just just drive it like you know

485
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: when you're not trying to avoid a semi truck on

486
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: the highway or avoid being cut off by somebody so

487
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: you don't get hurt driving down the roads. And then

488
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: let's let's let's do some fuel system cleaning, all right, Um,

489
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: let's get out to Orillyoto Parts, Barriman Products, Berriman Fuel

490
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: System Cleaners, Briman Products dot com. The Briman Products with

491
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: hest um Orallyota Parts has them. You can also find

492
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: them online. You can also get out the Barman Products

493
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: dot com. Their hest or high energy solving technology really

494
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: works well and it's it's it's added to the tank

495
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: and it will go through if there's carbon deposits on

496
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: the valves um over time, and sometimes it takes more

497
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: than one can and that's that's not a bad thing.

498
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: But you know, it took a hundred forty thousand miles

499
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: for those carbon deposits to get to this point. If

500
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: they are the cause, let's, you know, give it a

501
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: can or to let's try that. Let's at least then

502
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: if it doesn't work, we know that we've we've done

503
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: our best in terms of the simple stuff, and then

504
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: somebody can go through with you know, the hardcore. Now

505
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: we can go get a diagnosis somewhere. Now we can

506
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: have the conversation about how old are the spark plugs?

507
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: And and that's part of this conversation too, don't get

508
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: me wrong, but how old are the spark plugs? Um?

509
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 1: Does anybody have a scan tool that they can on

510
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: and look at what we call mode six. Mode six

511
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: is the parameter by which the vehicle sets fault codes.

512
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: We can look at conditions to see, you know, even

513
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: though we don't have a code yet, is there something

514
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: approaching code failure? And Mode six is a little complicated

515
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: to explain in the time in the space that I've

516
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: got left with you today, but suffice it to say,

517
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: if you google mode six start reading about that, that'll

518
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: set your hair on fire. That's an excellent, And this

519
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: is here we are. We're talking about technology and older cars.

520
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: How it was so varied indifferent to fix cars from

521
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: years ago. Uh, the new car technology stays consistent from

522
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: make and model and vehicle manufacturer that it's always there.

523
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: Mode six is on all Carson's uh, in an abundance

524
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: since the year two thousand. Um, pretty safe. Bet So

525
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: let's look at mode six. Let's go through basics on ignition.

526
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: Let's go through fuel system cleaning like I talked about,

527
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: and then as far as the drone or the heaviness

528
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: in the way that it idoles. How are the motor mounts?

529
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: Could it have a dried out and mount, could have

530
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: a cracked amount, could have a missing mount, um, And

531
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: those are the kind of things you want to look

532
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: at if you want to really have some fun. Do

533
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: you do you haven to have a scan tool? Danny? Yeah,

534
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: I use the Yeah, I use the scan tool. But

535
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm not an advance just it's it's uh, it's a

536
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: simple scan. Yeah. Okay. Does it does it do fuel trim?

537
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: It does? Yees? Do you know what you're looking at

538
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: when you look at fuel trim? Not? Really? All I

539
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: know is I'll read the code and I'll look online

540
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,719
Speaker 1: and then you know they go from there. You're up

541
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: in northern Maine, right, that's correct. Do you have a fireplace?

542
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: What do you have a fireplace in the mice? Yeah? Yeah, okay.

543
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: Do you ever build the perfect fire where it's just nice? Right?

544
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: You have to, right, I get it right? Right? So

545
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: so so that perfect fire in the fireplace is a

546
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: balanced air fuel mixture, right, do you ever think about it?

547
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: You get a nice dry log, you get you get

548
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: the airflow through the through the flu just right. It's

549
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: it's just warmed up. That is a balanced mixture, man.

550
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: All right. So if if if we were looking at

551
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: that fire on a scan tool, it would read zero.

552
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: All right. If if you ran out of logs and

553
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: your wife said, Danny, go get another log, and you

554
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: ran outside and you've got a nice wet, heavy, soppy

555
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: log and you threw it on the fire, and now

556
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: it starts to make more smoke than flame and less heat.

557
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: All right. Now we've got an imbalanced fuel mixture. All right.

558
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: Now we've got something that unfortunately, unfortunately I've been through

559
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: that scenario. So you know, if you look, if you

560
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: look at that on a scan tool, all right. If

561
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: you looked at that on a scan tool, you would

562
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: probably see that as a negative number, all right, because

563
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: that's a bad thing to happen, especially when the wife

564
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: gets upset. What you throw that log on the fire for?

565
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: She's not listening, right, don't tell her I said that. No, yeah,

566
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: we'll just remember. You know, you twisted my arm to

567
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: say that it's Danny's fault. So so you know, that

568
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: would be a negative number on the scan tool, right,

569
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: you would see negative two, negative three, negative five, all right.

570
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: It's an imbalanced mixture. And then once in a while

571
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: you get a log that's a good log, but there's

572
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: too much air in the fire and and you've got

573
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: to add another log so the fire doesn't burn out quickly.

574
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: You would see that as a positive number, all right.

575
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: So same thing with the car. Take a look at

576
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: the scan tool. With the scan tool, at the fuel

577
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: trim readings. Before you do the fuel system cleaning and

578
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: the throttle body cleaning, write your numbers down, Go for

579
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: a ride, write your numbers down. Engines up at warmed up,

580
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: an operating temperature, same load, same speed, same road, same

581
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: weather conditions. And then once you do the cleaning, do

582
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: it again, and then once you do the second cleaning,

583
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: do it again. See if there's any change in fuel

584
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: trim number, See if there's any change in the way

585
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: the vehicle operates. And now you're learning from what you're doing.

586
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: All right, do those things. The clock is gonna take me.

587
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: Call me back next week, let me know what happens

588
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: in the week after, and say hi to Mrs Danny

589
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: for me. You bet take good care. I'm ron Ani

590
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: and I'll return right after this. D that way. But

591
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: when it comes to fixing cars, Ron has card advice

592
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: done right fo zero. Okay, we're gonna do three things

593
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: this segment. Number one. We're gonna answer all the questions

594
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: about the hot rod. Remember last week I talked about

595
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: the hot rod having the clank clank clank sound, and

596
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: I feared the worst that it was a rock or

597
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: armor valve train issue in the right side cylinder head.

598
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: I thought about it, and I said, let's go back

599
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: to basics. Always go back to basics, right and sat down,

600
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: thought about it, started up, listen to it again, shut

601
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: it off. I guess if all the header bolts were tight,

602
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: that would definitely make a big help in And I

603
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: think I talked about this list week. I wasn't sure,

604
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: but I still received a couple of emails. I want

605
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: to make sure I've covered this. The hot rod is

606
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: alive and doing well, tightened all the header bolts. It's fine.

607
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: It's fixed and down the road. Um behaving itself. Um. Second,

608
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: let's do this email. It's been kicking around here since March, unfortunately,

609
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: and I just keep meaning to get to it and

610
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't. But um, this comes to us from Chrissy Rights.

611
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: Please email, not call, so Chris, I'm emailing. Actually I'm

612
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: answering the email on air. So podcast me baby, Um,

613
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: Car Doctor Show dot com. I brought Silverado five point

614
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: three oil pressure hot and gear drops to just above twenty.

615
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: I know it is within spec, but is it right?

616
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: Think about that a minute. It's and it is. It

617
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: isn't spec alright, spec is You're just not used to

618
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: seeing it any other way. So my question would be,

619
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: what did you drive beforehand? Yes, Um, I believe that

620
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: to be right. I believe that to be normal. Remember,

621
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: it's not always just about pressure. It's also about volume, alright,

622
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: and how much oil is being dispersed. So the fact

623
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: that it's brand new and it's not having any issues

624
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: and that is spec I'm gonna say, yes, it's right.

625
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: And I would also bring it to the attention of

626
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: the dealer when you're taken in for the first oil change,

627
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: because I think everybody should go to the dealer for

628
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: the first oil change and then make a decision from

629
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 1: there and um, you know, ask them, explain it to them.

630
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: But I don't think there's an issue there. So that

631
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: one's done. This one goes back two weeks. I'm just

632
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: kind of cleaning out the closet here. Uh. For years,

633
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: this goes to Ron and Tom Tony didn't exist this

634
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: duy for years. GM recommended in their Owner's Manual to

635
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: clean their windshield glass with bondammy. At home, we have

636
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: both types that want I have pictured here as a

637
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,479
Speaker 1: proof for glass. He had attached the picture of a

638
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: can of bon ammy that was just rated for glass only.

639
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: It works really well to clean glass. The other type

640
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: of bondammy is a gold color container and not recommended

641
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: for glass. Potential to scratch based on the ingredients. This

642
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: comes to us from Biff Cramer in Lansing, Michigan. Thanks

643
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: b IF, I appreciate that. Yeah, um, I remember doing

644
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: bon emmy to clean uh to clean glass and uh

645
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: you know it was it was it was neat stuff.

646
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: It worked really well. Um. You know, we don't do

647
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: that anymore because I think we just all run through

648
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: car washes. But that's beside the point anyway. It um,

649
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: you know you can use by the way to clean glass.

650
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: We don't talk about this last week. If you want

651
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: on the older car toothpaste, certain toothpaste will work better

652
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: than others. With a toothbrush, you can just kind of

653
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: scrub it in and polish it with that. There was

654
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: an abrasion level to uh to toothpaste too, so you know,

655
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: just and plush you'll have a minty white smile and

656
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: a minty white windshield. So as you drive down the road,

657
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: Tom's looking at me. Five zero nine zero zero running

658
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: any of the car doctor back to wrap it up

659
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: right after this, Yeah, welcome back. Hey Tom, I just

660
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: I just sent you an email running any of the

661
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: car doctor here real quick. I just sent you an email. UM,

662
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: I got from a listener who says that Clark Howard,

663
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,239
Speaker 1: the radio show host, is always pushing autonomous vehicles and

664
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: he thinks it's a great idea. UM, less cost less burden.

665
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: According to this listener, why don't we get ahold of him.

666
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: Let's talk to him. All right, there's you know, let's

667
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: let's let's let's ask him about all the failures and

668
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: all the issues and all the potential for human error

669
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: um that's involved with this. Because you know, I keep

670
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: coming back to this. I was gonna do a little

671
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: conversation here about Mitchell one of the shirt track fixed.

672
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: But I think the autonomous self driving car issue, it's

673
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: not perfected yet. And you know, listen, airplanes aren't perfected yet. Unfortunately,

674
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: there are aircraft failures and we still drive them. And

675
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: as long as we're willing to accept that, but you know,

676
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: we're we're placing an awful lot of potential for issues

677
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: if all of a sudden we're we're autonomous. Worse, we're

678
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: autonomous and non autonomous mixed together. And what does that do?

679
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: I get it that the price of automobiles are expensive.

680
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: I get it that it's it's it's hard for everybody

681
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: to maintain a car. I understand that. I live here,

682
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: I know what it's like. I understand that. But you know,

683
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: the bigger issues are that you're taking away. I'll say

684
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: it like this. I'm stunned that young people today don't

685
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: want to drive boggles my mind. I was fourteen years old.

686
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 1: I wanted to get behind the wheel, kind of did

687
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: a few times. And you know the fact that the

688
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: young people today are are happier pushing buttons or so,

689
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: it seems than than to learn how to drive a car.

690
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: Just just just what are we raising? What's where are

691
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: we gonna be in twenty years? A question? And no,

692
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: the uh. There were a number of reasons. My daughter

693
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: was late getting her license. She got into one and

694
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: you know, one was a medical reason. But she's doing

695
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: she she's fine. I taught her how to drive. I

696
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: told her Dad's taxi services closed. I gave her my

697
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: old car, and she was kind of banging her head

698
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 1: against the world. Why do I need to get a license?

699
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: She doesn't know what to do without the car? Now,

700
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: it's like hello. But the other thing that that that

701
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: operating a vehicle teaches somebody is self reliance. It teaches

702
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: them alertness, it teaches them decision making, it teaches them coordination. There,

703
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot there. I get it that it's

704
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: a pain in the butt. You know what, Life's a

705
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 1: pain in the butt. Sometimes life gets in the way,

706
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: but that's part of what you have to do. That's

707
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: part of the human experience to think that a self

708
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: driving car, because now you're putting yourself in the hands

709
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: of the self driving car. Who's programming the self driving

710
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: car to take you where you wanted to take you.

711
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: Now they're running the show, not you. I'm Ron and

712
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: Nanny in the car. Doctor. The mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

713
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: See you
