00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Ron An Anian. When you repair cars all week long,

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: this is actually the calm day, and you know, Monday

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: through Friday year good. At the end of the day

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: and five o'clock and you're done, and you say, well,

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: I look at all those cars we fixed. How do

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: we manage to do?

7
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: That's crazy?

8
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: It's crazy crazy, that car doctor. Can you take your

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: years one and put it in and reap program it.

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: You should be able to either that or you may

11
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: be able to match something up by the part number

12
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: from yours to the same VIM and same application. Welcome

13
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: to the radio home of ron Anian, the Car Doctor.

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: Since nineteen ninety one, this is where car owners the

15
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

16
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: the phone and call in. The garage doors are open,

18
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: but I am here to take your call at eight

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: five five five six oh ninety nine hundred.

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: And now he.

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 3: Running.

22
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: You know, if we were sitting in the kitchen at

23
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: the house having a cup of tea talking about the

24
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: events of the week on Friday night, you and I,

25
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: the story would probably start out like this. It was

26
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: a rough week at the shop. It was something just

27
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: a lot of symbols and patterns, and just it just

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: continued to evolve and go on. Auto repair is just

29
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: a big changing force, and I would tell my wife

30
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: that it's really interesting to note that in every car

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: that I looked at this week that was towed in,

32
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: broken down or a major repair, unexpectedly was a car

33
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: that wasn't maintained. Hi, I'm Ron An ending in the

34
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, and we're going to talk about that this

35
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: hour eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zeros.

36
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: The phone number for those of you just tuning in,

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: those of you that are new, and we want to

38
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: thank you for making the conscious choice, because this radio

39
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: show is about you. It's not really about me. I

40
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: just sit here and ramble off the top of my

41
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: head and kind of talk about, you know, the incensant

42
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: ravings of a lunatic. Sometimes I think that line from

43
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: Young Frankenstein works that you know, I'm here talking to

44
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: you about cars, what I experienced during the week and

45
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: trying to make sense out of it and put the

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: pieces together. But as I so often tell my wife,

47
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: it's people aren't ready to take care of a car.

48
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: And I see it all the time, and it's it's

49
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: the things that make no sense. We had a car

50
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: in the shop. We had a Honda in the shop

51
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: back in November, first time in oil change. And when

52
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: I got in the car, the first thought I had was,

53
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: I said, this car. Crank's funny. The starter's not right.

54
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: There's something going on with this Honda. And I said

55
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: that to the owner. I said, you know, I said, listen,

56
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: this is our first date and it's here for an

57
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: oil change. But I said, there's something wrong with the starter.

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: You can hear it. It doesn't crank right. And he

59
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 1: didn't really know how to accept that. I guess maybe

60
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: he wasn't ready for somebody to make an off the

61
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: cuff and remark, Maybe because somebody else made you off

62
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: the cuff remark at the last repair shop. Maybe because

63
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: you guys have all been burned by too many bad mechanics.

64
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: And I understand that, I really do. But he ignored

65
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: the warning well up until Thursday this past week. For

66
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: the previous three months, it was really touch and go,

67
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: trying to get at the start, but he couldn't make

68
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: the connection. He didn't understand what a bad starter sounded like.

69
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: And that's the fault of this industry that we don't

70
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: explain things I think properly. How many times I sit

71
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: and I asked people, did it do this? Did it

72
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: do that? What did the mechanics say? And they just

73
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: look at me like deer in the headlights. They don't

74
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: acknowledge anything. And Mike said to me when he talked

75
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: to me on Thursday that yeah, the starter finally died.

76
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: It had been giving them some problems and now it's

77
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: time they put a starter in it. He was going

78
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: to call for towing and get it towed in well Friday,

79
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: this was Thursday night, late Friday, he called towing, showed

80
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: up and they would only tow him locally. They wouldn't

81
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: tow him he was about twelve miles away. They would

82
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: only take him locally three miles, which put him at

83
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: the dealer on a Friday. And the problem is that

84
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: I know the dealer it went to. He probably won't

85
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: have the car back until after the fourth of July,

86
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: as an educated guess, because I know how busy that

87
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: dealership is and it's difficult for them to deal with towings.

88
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: And I couldn't help but think, here's a car and

89
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: a situation that's going to be made worse because someone

90
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: didn't maintain it. All they had to do was say,

91
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: do you look at the starter better?

92
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 3: Yet?

93
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: It was November, it's now June. Where are we We're

94
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: seven months? No oil change is going to go seven months?

95
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: Where'd the car go for the last oil change? And

96
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: if the car went there for that last oil change,

97
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: why are they calling us to tell us when it

98
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: broke down that they need a starter. Oil changes aren't

99
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: a matter of convenience. Oil changes are a matter of maintenance.

100
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: They are done on a timely basis to ensure that

101
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: an intelligent mechanic, someone that is concerned about the well

102
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: being of the vehicle is looking at it. And I

103
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: realized some of these terms, and right about now is

104
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: where Sue would roll her eyes at me and say,

105
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: come on, Ron, you're too dramatic, and I'd say, no,

106
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, if you're going to do this job, do

107
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: it right. That's what this is about. And if you're

108
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: not going to do this job right, then get the

109
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: hell out of my industry. You're stinking it up because

110
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: there are good guys out there. There are guys out there, dealership,

111
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: independent change store alike. You just have to find them

112
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: that want to fix cars properly. They exist. Another vehicle

113
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: was towed in this week and we had called for

114
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: breakwork on it back in October. Now it's sat all winter.

115
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: They went from North Jersey down to Florida for the winter,

116
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: and the vehicle sat until about the end of March,

117
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: is the way we heard the story. And then they

118
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: came back and they started driving it again. And two

119
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: and a half months later they were planning to leave

120
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: for vacation on the weekend. This very weekend, well three

121
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: days ago, the phone rang and the breaks were making

122
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: this funny noise. There's grinding, wishing, not doing their thing

123
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: right noise, and you have to drop what you're doing.

124
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: You've got to get my car and I need my brakes,

125
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: and you got to do it.

126
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 3: Now.

127
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: Let me tell you how this works, all right, If

128
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: you're doing it right, You've got a relationship with your mechanic.

129
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: It's somebody you know, and I'm not looking for you

130
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: to put his kids through college, but it's somebody that

131
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: if they care enough about you at whatever level you're at, dealership, independent, chain, store,

132
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: don't care. They know who you are. You're not a

133
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: number because there's two types of auto repair. In my eyes,

134
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: there's we know you by name or now serving number

135
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: twenty two. That's it. That's what auto repair is. It's

136
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: personal and we really care, or you're another piece of

137
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: meat on the counter at the deli stand. And that's

138
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: really where it's got to be. Now. There is no

139
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: such thing as an automotive emergency, all right. There's only

140
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: unplanned maintenance that somebody did not want to do or

141
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: be concerned with. And I'll tell you why this is

142
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: so important. And this is where Sue would start to

143
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: pick up her ears a little bit. We're heading into

144
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: fourth of July weekend and I saw the numbers from

145
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: Triple A Triple A expects if I read the report

146
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: right over three hundred and eighty thousand breakdowns. That was

147
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: the number I saw fourth of July weekend nationwide. Because

148
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: of the number of people that are going to be

149
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: out on the road. It was crazy. So as we

150
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: head into fourth of July and the meat and potatoes,

151
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: if you will, of the summer driving season, do yourself

152
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: a favor, do me a favor, do the car a favor.

153
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: Get it checked out, come on, stop putting it off,

154
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: stop being afraid. All right, make an effort, find a mechanic.

155
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: Let them look at the car, Let them do a checklist,

156
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: all right, Let them go through the car and look

157
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: at the brakes, the tires, the fluids. It's pretty easy

158
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: stuff because I guarantee you one thing. It's a machine.

159
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: And the more you put it off, the more it's

160
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: gonna cost you, and the more traffic it's going to create,

161
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: either next weekend or in the weeks ahead during during

162
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: the summer. Hello, and welcome Ron and Ady in the car.

163
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: Some thoughts and things to take the heart, because I'm

164
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: telling you we had a half a dozen tons this

165
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: week and every car was lack of maintenance. Harry looked

166
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: at me and he said, don't undertand why anybody who

167
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: want to take care of their car and then they

168
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: expect miracles when the car drops dead on the road.

169
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: He said, it doesn't make any sense to me. I said, yep,

170
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: that's the business that's you know, by the same token,

171
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: the people that were scheduled and getting their maintenance done.

172
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's repair bill was predictable. Everybody's repair bill was expected.

173
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: And it's almost like two lifestyles. One wants to live

174
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: sort of anticipating and expected, and the other one wants

175
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: to live in chaos. Do you really want to live

176
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: in chaos, folks? I don't think so. Hey. Five five

206
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,599
Speaker 1: kick him open and welcome from Maui, Hawaii. A conversation

207
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: about ninety nine poorsch boxer. Yes, sir, how can I help?

208
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Car Doctor.

209
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: Hi, how you doing? Ron?

210
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: All right?

211
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 2: Good listen. I have a ninety nine Porsche box that's

212
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: got eighty thousand miles on it. I'm the original owner,

213
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: and things been maintained meticulously all throughout. I had my

214
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: last service oil change and basic two year service, and

215
00:11:54,840 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: the mechanics said to me, I might have an IMS problem.

216
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: Media chef intermediate bearing chef problem.

217
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: That's correct, right, Yeah, he said he saw some signs

218
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: of a little bit of flaking in the oil that

219
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: he took out. So I looked up i MS bearing

220
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 2: and everything else, and I found that Porsche actually had

221
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: a class action suit against them. Yeah, yep, which I

222
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: never I never even knew about, never heard of it.

223
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: Oh, big problems. As a matter of fact, the the

224
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: the that particular engine, I think it was the I

225
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: think that engine family's M ninety six and Porsche language

226
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: William and I think you know, they had several revisions

227
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: and several changes in different styles, and a large part

228
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: of the problems were that the bearings on the intermediate

229
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: chefs weren't serviceable or agreeceable or lubable. It was lubable, lubricated, Okay,

230
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: but you get the point. So you know, yeah, has dual.

231
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: Row of bearings from what I understand, and they're accessible, yep.

232
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: But the thing is, apparently what happens is they don't

233
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: get enough lubrication during normal operating and they start to

234
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: I guess, disintegrate. So now I'm faced with a repair

235
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: and I spoke to mechanic. He said repair could go

236
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: four thousand dollars just to repair these things.

237
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: Sure, can I tell you why that doesn't matter? You're ready.

238
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: It's a In case you didn't know, it's a Porsche,

239
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: so there is there is no price tag. All right,

240
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a Porsche. It doesn't matter. The

241
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: question is is it fixed right? You know? Now? When

242
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: they do that, is that going to be the stock

243
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: repair or is that going to be an aftermarket modification

244
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: because there's a bunch of kids out there to fix.

245
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: This too, I know. And that's what I haven't been able.

246
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: I've been trying to get in touch with him again.

247
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to go see him Monday and see what

248
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: he's going to do. And they're also going to do

249
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: the clutch at the same time, which makes sense I suppose,

250
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: but I don't know. I've heard they can put ceramic

251
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 2: bearings in. I've heard have to market direct oil feed

252
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: kits that will lubricate those things, but that's as a

253
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: preventative for future mishaps. Yeah, I'm just wondering if they

254
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: do the job, will will it be you know services,

255
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: Will it be okay after that? Well?

256
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: And it should be Listen, you know, just in general terms,

257
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: car companies, car companies, the engineers and car companies are

258
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: human beings and they walk around like you and I,

259
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: but they have to live within the confines of a

260
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: corporate structure. And you know, companies like Raush Engine wouldn't

261
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: exist if it weren't for corporate confines that they place

262
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: on their engineers. You know, they've got reasons. Those being

263
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: counters in the accounting department are saying, you can't make

264
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: the repair like this, you can't build the car like that.

265
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: You know, we've got to mass produce x number of vehicles,

266
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: turn a profit and keep the stockhold happy. The free

267
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: thinking engine builder can look at it and say, well,

268
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: wait a minute. Now, you know we've got some limits

269
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: or some some some leeway here on the limits, and

270
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: we can really do what we want. So let's let's

271
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: design this system. Your question, or your concern should really

272
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: be who's engineered the best repair? Yeah, I got to

273
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: tell you if the repair is coming from the guys

274
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: that engineered the mistake in the first place, I'm a

275
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: little concerned about that because if they were wrong the

276
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: first time, You've got to really, you know, tell me

277
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: you love me before I'll let you, you know, date

278
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: me again, because if you cheated on me once, I

279
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, it's you only get to hurt

280
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: me once. So you know, we've got to kind of

281
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: look into the future, which is though I'm going the

282
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: long way around the barn here trying to say this.

283
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: You know, thank god for the Internet. I would be

284
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: looking at some of the forums, and you know, there's

285
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: got to be people out there that have had this experience.

286
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of guys that have dated this particular girl.

287
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: Let's find out if she's really true, is she really

288
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: doing what you supposed to do? Does it hold up,

289
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: does it go the mileage? Does it go the distance?

290
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: And I mean because I would throw the money into

291
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: it if I thought it would fix it, and I

292
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: I'm not going to run into a catastrophic engine failure

293
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: as they turn it, because I mean, if you've got

294
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: to buy a new car, you're going to spend you know,

295
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: just any new car twenty five right there?

296
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: Oh sure, if you went out to buy a new Porsche,

297
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: what would you spend oh, forget it, eighty five yeah,

298
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: seventy five eighty grand. Uh. You know, And your concern

299
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: here has to be that if there's metal flake in

300
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: the oil already every time you drive that you're hurting something.

301
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: You know, that's what that's what I'm concerned. How bad

302
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 2: is it?

303
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: Yeah? And frankly, if the metal flake is bad enough.

304
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: An engine builder once told me, when you see metal

305
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: flakes in the oil and you think it's coming from

306
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: X y Z, trust me, the oil doesn't care where

307
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: it goes. It's it's non judgmental. Oil flows everywhere. There's

308
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: there's metal shavings throughout that engine. And depending upon how

309

Speaker 1: far into this you want to get, you take it apart,

310
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,480

00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: You know, do you really enjoy it? Does it make

317
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: you feel good? Is at that moment in the sun

318
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: and it takes you back, maybe to your sordid youth

319
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: and you're just kind of living the wild times again.

320
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,399
