And we thought who better to 52 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: turn to than a guy like you with that that 53 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: small car collection that you have, a hundred and fifty, 54 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty whatever it is um to talk about 55 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: waking up the classics? What is it that the Wannamakers 56 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: do to get their cars going this time? Here? Oh lord, 57 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: it's the project, the project. I can imagine. It's one 58 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: after another moving around getting them all fired up and 59 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: ready to go. But this season has really been a 60 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: bummer and all the rain. But it's finally sunny and 61 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: we're ready to go. Yeah, um, what do you what 62 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: do you think the average listening around there? He's just 63 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: had his car sitting since October maybe he's you know, 64 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: prepped it and stored it, and he's gotta undo that 65 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: prep maybe you know, tire pressure and and and you know, 66 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: get the battery reconnected and take the tender off it. 67 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: But is there anything particular you could offer them? What 68 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: do they want to consider as part of waking up 69 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: that classic I guess safety wise, make sure we've got 70 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: no fuel leaks. That's always number one, as you would know. 71 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: And because the car brears and all that kind of 72 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: stuff can leak and be a safety hazard right away. Yeah, 73 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: and I and I guess you have to think like that, right, 74 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: because they're older cars and they they tend to they're older, right, 75 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: we we take it for granted. Now we jump in 76 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: a modern car and off we go, and it's it's 77 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: it's not an issue, and let's go through fluids and 78 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: and things like that, right makes sense? No, absolutely, I mean, 79 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: the breaks, make sure they're safe and all that kind 80 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: of stuff. Because we go through we have a lot 81 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: of cars, so every car has a different problem. Every 82 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: year we fire them up and then there's that too. 83 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: Well for the guy who doesn't have the want to 84 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: maker collection, um, let's pick out a single car. Take 85 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: a single car in your collection, Chuck, what's one of 86 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: your you know, what's at the top of your list 87 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: this year? What are you looking forward to getting out 88 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: and driving? Well, one of the vehicles we just picked up, 89 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: I guess, and I was. I was a teenager. This 90 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: Mustang was unobtainable to a normal teenager to buy. But 91 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: it's a Mustang s v O and they only made 92 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: them for eight six three year run, four cylinder, turbo charged, 93 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: five speed, really really a fun car, and I was 94 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: able to buy one recently, so I'm actually to get 95 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: out myself to them. I chance to drive as since 96 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: I've owned it since November. Um, they didn't make a 97 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: lot of those, what eighty six? Would they make? Five those? 98 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: Something like that? They made three three thousand in each 99 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: year about and I got about I think there's only 100 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: about three hundred of the color that I bought, so 101 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: there ain't. They're they're pretty rare cars, not money of 102 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: them around. They're unique. They get the dual rear sped 103 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: spoiler on the rear wheels on rear wings, so you 104 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: can notice some hundred feet away it's an s v O. 105 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: Neat car, you know, And I guess, I guess every 106 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: muscle car, every cruiser doesn't have to be a muscle 107 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: car for the for the kids out there, right, they 108 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: can dream any which way they want and make it 109 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: a hot rod. I mean. And these cars here you 110 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: can buy them from anywhere from seven thousand and twenty 111 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: thousand I mean twenty thousand courses. And everyone isn't exactly 112 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: the cheapest vehicle. However, to get into the game and 113 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: have fun, go to dairy queen and your wife and kids. 114 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: Great car.

And it doesn't have to be 169 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: souped up, right, it could be at sixty nine View 170 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: of Skylark you went to high school with and it 171 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: was your mom's car and your borrowed it and that's 172 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: what you drove, and that was it. And absolutely it's 173 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: that memory. Um, you know, it's that memory. And then 174 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: the new cars, right there's there are there any there 175 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: are there any tuners? As they say coming to this show, Chucker, 176 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: is this? Yeah, we have a class for modern muscle, 177 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: whether it's a new import like you just kind of mentioned, 178 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: a new Mustang, a new Challenge, or a a new Corvette. 179 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: Because you know, these guys have had the old classics, 180 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: they're tired of and their wife hates them for whatever 181 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: the case might be. Um that they want to go 182 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: down Jersey Shore and have something more reliable, so they 183 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: buy a new Corvette and new Mustang. So we want 184 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: those guys still come and join. They're just much a 185 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: car guy as anybody is, just that they don't have 186 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: the older car, big deal. We want them still to 187 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: coming to Joy because they all had stories just like 188 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: me and you. Now when when you and your father, Chuck, 189 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: Senior developed this the the car show idea and the 190 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: wall of community alliance. There was a purpose in mine 191 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: and I think, and I want to point this out. 192 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: I want to give its do here that, um, you 193 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: guys are still giving back. You're you're using the proceeds 194 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: towards the train station. Yep. But we're all non for profit. 195 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: All the ones are the Walt Commedia lines sign for 196 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: profit group, but all of us they're doing it for charity, 197 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: just to keep the train station alive, to pay for 198 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: the heat on, the air conditioning, the maintenance. And now 199 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: the VFW, the vets have a place to be. We 200 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: have a eight meetings there. It's really a great thing 201 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: we did. It's cost us some time and energy, but 202 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: what else do you you know, what else can you say? 203 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: You got to give back, which the Wannamakers obviously do 204 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: and always have.

I I was thinking about it this morning. 210 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: I was I was behind an older Plymouth just this, 211 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: you know, fifty seven Plymouth something not a hot rod. 212 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: Somebody who was just out in an older car, and 213 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: you know, you could just smell it, and you said, 214 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,599 Speaker 1: you know, look at how right, look at how I 215 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: mission controls have cleaned up cars, how much cleaner cars 216 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: have gotten. Um, you can always tell that older car 217 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: going down the road, but that is still a piece 218 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: of history and it's neat to it's neat with the experience, 219 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: we've been trying to modernize them.

Took 261 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: it out on Roots seventeen in Ramsay, New Jersey as 262 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 1: a kid a legal license. My first time. I was 263 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: sixteen and a half on my permit. And that first 264 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: time going down the highway, I mean, my god, it 265 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: was like it was like I was sailing the Queen 266 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: Mary across the Atlantic. It was the most unbelievable thing. 267 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: And the funny thing is because I still live in 268 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: the area, I you know, every time I get on 269 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: that section of Roots seventeen, doesn't matter what I'm driving, 270 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 1: I always remember that. I go, my god, this is 271 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: the first time I was out on the highway. Um, 272 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: you know, driving at speed, trying to do and you 273 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: think that, you know, back then, the speed lim that 274 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: was I don't know, seventeen south. Still, even if it 275 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: was fifty sixty, I'm trying to do forty. And I'm petrified, 276 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: right because you're like, oh my good you know, but 277 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: um yeah, just just cars. It's just just a good time. 278 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: We're talking about it. Not so good time. Well it 279 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: wasn't okay time. So this two thousand nine Lexus, and 280 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: I want to tell you this story because I just 281 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: think Lexis really missed the mark. And I imagine this 282 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: is affected on some of the toyotas. But here's here's 283 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: one you don't hear a lot about. And oh nine 284 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: Lexis r X three fifty came into the shop this week. 285 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: That's that, you know, it looks like a construction helmet 286 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: going down the road. It's that suv thing that they have, 287 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 1: uh started out as an r X three hundred and 288 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: then transgressed into the three thirty and three. It's it's 289 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: it's probably their mainstay in the lineup these days. There's 290 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: just tons of them out there. I don't get it. 291 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: I just looked at this car. The complaint was it 292 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: had a water league and after looking at this car. 293 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: I don't understand how the engineers did this. The two 294 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: sunroof trains and like also roost the car out of sunroof. 295 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: You know, you pay fifty dollars for a car, you 296 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: cut a hole in the roof and then you don't 297 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: understand why it gets wet. But um uh, it has drains. 298 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: The sunroofed drain is like the gutter on the corner 299 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: of your house, right it catches the water in a 300 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: in a gutter rail and then it shoots it down 301 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: the tube and it's supposed to, you know, send it 302 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: down into a place where it exits the body. Well, 303 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: what Lexus did was the sunroofed drain hose, and I 304 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: went through normal diagnosis. I don't have to borre you 305 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: with that. You know how I'm gonna do it. I'm 306 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: gonna take it apart, one step at a time and 307 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: trace it out. The sunroof drain hose comes off the 308 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: corner of the sunroof and it was clear it had 309 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of this brown sandy like material in it, 310 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: which I knew what that was, and I'll tell you 311 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: what that was in a minute. And then they dropped 312 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: the drain tube into a slosh box. They call it. 313 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: It's it's it's an area of the body channel out 314 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: towards the fender by the quarter or I'm sorry, out 315 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: towards the fender by the A pillar. When you look 316 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: at the side of a car, the A pillar is 317 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: the is the pillar by the windshield. That's the A pillar, 318 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: The one in the middle of it's a four doors, 319 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: the B pillar, the one in the back by the 320 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: back window in the back doors, the C pillar. So 321 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: the sunroof train goes into the A pillar into a 322 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 1: slash box. The slash box is probably three inches by 323 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: three inches. It's a metal box with a rubber plug 324 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: in the bottom, with a very very tight hole. All right. 325 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: It's it's like your kitchen sink. And they put a 326 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: rubber stopper in it and then drill a sixteenth of 327 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: an inch hole through the bottom of it. And they 328 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: think the water is gonna come out that, and I 329 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: guess it does because right when the vehicles knew it 330 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: seems to work. Here's what happens. Lexus Toyota uses an 331 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: organic This is my research. I did a bunch of 332 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: research on this this week, and is what I found out. 333 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: They use an organic sound deadening material in the roof. 334 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: And that organic material breaks down over time, exposed to moisture, 335 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: exposed to age, where tear or so on, and it 336 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: starts to go down the drain tube. That's what the 337 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: gritty material was in the tube itself. That that brown 338 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: sandy looking material, whatever it is, it's it's some type 339 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: of um organic foam if you will, well, it goes 340 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: down the tube, it goes into the slash box. And 341 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: now they dump water on top of an organic material. 342 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: And what happens if you grow? If you if you 343 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: add water to a plant, what does it do? It grows? 344 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: If you add water to the organic material, it starts 345 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: to It can't grow, it's not living, but it's it 346 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: becomes this black muck. And that black muck now covers 347 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: the top of that little tiny hole in the rubber 348 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: plug at the bottom. You know, you look at it 349 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: and you say, this is the best engineering can come 350 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: up with. Now, my thought was, why didn't they extend 351 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: the drain tube. You're ready for this. Here's a here's 352 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: a brainstorm. Why do they just extend the drain tube 353 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: another two and a half inches, put it through the 354 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: hole in the rubber plug and let it exit out 355 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: through the bottom of the channel of the body in 356 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: the first place. Alow like, clearly they missed the mark. 357 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: You can sit there and say, Nan Indians crazy, he's 358 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: ranting about nothing. Yeah, go out to the internet and 359 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: google Lexus r X three fifty sunroof drain and look 360 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: at all the posts that come up, Look at all 361 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: the people in the forums that are having this particular problem. 362 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: Here's the solution. Because I figured out how to do this, 363 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: and I don't I didn't see this as a form 364 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: solution in anybody's in anybody's comments. If you open up 365 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: the front wheelhouse, take the wheelwell liner out of the 366 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: out of the front I just folded back. It's it's 367 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: three tents and a push clip. Um. Some of the 368 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: cars they were torques fitting, but whatever, they got those 369 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: first three screws on the back side of the fender. 370 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: And open it up. There's gonna be a body plug 371 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: about an inch inch and a quarter in diameter. Take 372 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: that body plug out. What you're looking at is your Now. 373 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: If you take your flesh light and you put your 374 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: head in an uncomfortable position, you are now looking at 375 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: the bottom of the black rubber drain plug. That's where 376 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: it comes out. That's that's the back side of it. 377 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: And you just take the longest screw driver you have, 378 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: all right, and you get it up at the right 379 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: angle and bob boom. Just give it an old road 380 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: to router and just make the hole a little bit bigger. 381 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: That's all it is. Tear it up. You know. I 382 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: kind of tore one of them on purpose because I 383 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that we're not gonna have any 384 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: water issues. Boy, let me tell you. When I flow 385 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: tested that thing, that thing flowed water like the hoover. 386 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: Damn letting it go at lunchtime. It was you would 387 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: think we were making electric electricity for crying out loud 388 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: if there was a turbine underneath that drain. I now 389 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: here's here's and here's the rationale. Here's the story I heard. 390 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: I said to somebody, why do they make it such 391 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: a tight little hole? And the story was because they're 392 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: worried about bugs getting in the car. So you're telling 393 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: me that in a vehicle where the water can get 394 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: in between the crack of the sun roof and the 395 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: body where the body seals are in, whereas the car 396 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: ages it doesn't matter. We're worried about an ant crawling 397 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: up through the body, over the channel, out the tire 398 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: and up the drain hole. If you've got a lexus 399 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: and your suffering, that's the solution. If you need it 400 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: in detail, send me an email ron at Car Doctor 401 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: Show dot com and I'll be glad to share it 402 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: with you.

Oh yeah, it's going to 418 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: be busy. So as you mentioned, you know more they 419 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: really is that unofficial kickoff to summer travel. We do 420 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: see that a lot of Americans are planning trips this year. 421 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: Nearly forty three million will be traveling. That is the 422 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: second highest travel volume on record since Triple A start 423 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: tracking the more they travel back in two thousands. And 424 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: most of those travelers are going to be driving to 425 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: their destination, about thirty seven million will be hitting the road. 426 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 1: But then we also see that three million will be 427 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: flying to their destination. That's up about five percent from 428 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: last year, and then about two million of taking other 429 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: modes of transportations such trains, buses, and AFO cruise ship. 430 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: I noticed in the information that Triple A is putting 431 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: out that you guys have actually got it broken down 432 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: by metro area, the worst predicted day for travel and 433 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 1: what for like a when not to leave town kind 434 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: of a thing. Um, that's amazing that you can do that. Yeah. Yeah, 435 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 1: So we um part of our with in rics to 436 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,959 Speaker 1: the transportation company and they're actually able to analyze travel 437 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: trends and transportation trends to see when of traffic were 438 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: he started to get congested in certain areas around these holidays. 439 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: And so if you're in some of those larger metropolitan 440 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: areas like Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, we are anticipating that you're 441 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: going to see the worst of your traffic on the 442 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: early afternoon after hours of Thursday and Friday, when we 443 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: start to see travelers mix in with that rush hour traffic. 444 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: So the best bet if you're going to be living 445 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: in one of these areas are driving through one of 446 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 1: those areas to make sure that you leave as early 447 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: as possible. I noticed Washington, d C's worst time for 448 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: travel Memorial Day weekend is Monday. Yeah, and it's a 449 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: three times multiplier And I guess that's because of all 450 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: the events that will be going on in the DC area, 451 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: exactly Washington d See as well as Boston. Uh, we're 452 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: seeing that the worst travel or the worst headache on 453 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: the road is actually gonna come Monday, when people are 454 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 1: returning from their trips up to three times longer than 455 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: your normal way times. And yeah, we can attribute that 456 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: to also um events that are going on in the area, 457 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: but as well as those travelers that are coming back, 458 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: starting to mix them with rush hour traffic, which is 459 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: always a headache in DC areas. One right, right, and 460 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: then New York is Thursday, so New York looks like 461 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: New York. It figures New York, New York is taking 462 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: off the earliest. They're taking off on Thursday for the weekend. 463 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: Um there we right there. Weekend starts at four o'clock 464 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: in the afternoon. Welcome, Welcome to New York, New Jersey. 465 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: We're so proud of that. Um. Recent bumping gas prices 466 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: right is, and that doesn't seem to have deterred anybody. Yeah, 467 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: gas prices really have taken a skyrocket over the past 468 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 1: few months. They jumped thirty cents, but that really isn't 469 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: deterring people from traveling. We do see about thirty seven 470 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: point six million will be driving to their destination, which 471 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: is still a three point five percent increase from what 472 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: we saw on two dut e teen. You know, one 473 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: of the good things here is we actually started to 474 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: see prices level off at the start of this week, 475 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: hoping that continues into the holiday weekend. Price has already 476 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: dropped about five cents, so hopefully that dropped continue that 477 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: we hadn't some royal day any last I'm not saying 478 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: like this any last minute tips. I mean, here we 479 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: are the week before Memorial Day weekend, and if you 480 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 1: haven't taken your car into the garage for once over, 481 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: what can they do about it this week? That is 482 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: a very good idea. It's definitely smart. If you're going 483 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: to be driving, make sure that you get your vehicle 484 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: inspected by a trusted repair facility.

It's no secret 596 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: I have a seventy two Chevy Monte Carlo. It's it's 597 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: it's one of the cars in the pile. And one 598 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: of the unique things about Monte Carlos of that generation 599 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: was not so unique today because today everything's made out 600 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: of plastic. Was the front fender liners were plastic. It 601 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: was a plastic wheelhouse, steel fender, plastic wheelhouse.

This is forty five some odd years ago, right, 603 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,959 Speaker 1: And part of the issue is that you know it's 604 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: got a very long nose on it. Look up a 605 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: seventy two look at look up a look up a 606 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: look up a seventy two Monty Carlo. You see how 607 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: long the nose is. A lot of weight. There's a 608 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: lot of stress on that plastic miner throwing a little handling, 609 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: throwing a little bit of a big block Chevy which 610 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: they had in the day, and those plastic fender wells 611 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: cracked all the time. Well, in nineteen seventy four, after 612 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: the car was two years old, you didn't worry about it. 613 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: You walked down to the g M story. You gave 614 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: the guy twenty two dollars, you brought a new fenderal liner, 615 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 1: you bolted it, and you were done. Two thousand nineteen 616 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: and not so much. You can get after market repros, 617 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: but they're just they're just not as nice, all right, 618 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 1: So you try to work with what you got if 619 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: it's not severely badly cracked. And I went through all 620 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: this trying to think of how to fix my fender 621 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,239 Speaker 1: well on this on this seventy two Monty because it's 622 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: an original car. It's a it's a forty one thousand 623 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: mile car out of Minard, Texas. It's it's got no 624 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: miles on it. And you know what am I gonna do? 625 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: I reached into the bag of tricks and picked up 626 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: some JB. Welled. Everybody's familiar with JB. Weld, right, they 627 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: make JB. Welld makes a steel reinforced POxy. And what 628 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: I did was I went over the cracks and fortunately 629 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: for me in my situation, the cracks were in a 630 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: part of the wheelhouse that you don't see from the 631 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: inside of the engine compartment. You order if you stuck 632 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: your head inside the wheel well, turns your head and 633 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: look back up that way, Um, you might see it. 634 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: But at that point it's got roach what's on it? 635 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: And I was able to spray a little chassis black 636 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: paint on it. You'll never know it's there. But I 637 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: shot some JB. Welld quick Well steel reinforced the POxy 638 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: into the cracks. Let it set push the two hats together, 639 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: let it set up. Did one more light coat and 640 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: this is how you can do it. Let it sit. 641 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: Then I sanded it down. You can sand JB. Welld 642 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: it works really well when you do that. Sanded it down, 643 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: wiped it off, and shot a little chassis black paint 644 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: on it, just a little bit of a flat black. 645 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: Don't use a gloss because you want to you know 646 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: you you don't want to call attention to it. By now, 647 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: the plastic liner in all these cars has faded to 648 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,239 Speaker 1: that point.

We lost a real great this 704 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: week and show Business a personal, uh favorite of mine. 705 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: I always enjoyed watching Tim Conway. And Tom has this 706 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: really great Tim Conway story that I wanted to share 707 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: with you just this time. Over the years, you know, 708 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: I've I've met a lot of celebrities. My favorite was 709 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: Tim Conway. When I worked at a radio station Hartford, 710 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: which I won't mention because it's a direct competitor, competitor 711 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: of our station there. Uh, Tim was on the air 712 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: and over the news break they asked him if he'd 713 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: stay around. He's secure, but he had to use the 714 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: men's room. My office was right outside the studio area. 715 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: So here comes Tim Conway outside the studio area, walks 716 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: into my office and asks my assistant Chuck and I 717 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: where the men's room is. We point him there and 718 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: then he pulls up a chair and sits down and 719 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: starts telling us stories. I mean, we had a ten 720 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: minute private show with Tim Conway and we were on 721 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: the floor crying because this guy, he wasn't trying to 722 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: be funny, he was hysterical. He was and we even 723 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: asked him about the dentist routine. But I mean, all 724 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's ten after the hour, when the 725 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: news is over. This producer comes screaming out the door 726 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: where's Conway, grabs him by the arm, pulls him in. 727 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: Poor guy never got to the bathroom, you know. And 728 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: that's the funny thing, right, and and and all the 729 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: and all the famous people I've met doing radio, uh, 730 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: you know, they're just people. A lot of them are 731 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: just people. And you know, one of the things I 732 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: learned early on is just be yourself. You don't have 733 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: to put on airs, you know, because that's all it 734 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: really takes, just to be there. And people are just 735 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: looking for little bits of information, little bits of entertainment, 736 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: and if you beat yourself, it always works out in 737 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: the end. Well, you know, we asked him about the 738 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: dentist routine. That's probably one of the most fame US 739 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: routines from that show. And they used to do to 740 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: tapings of the show. One was a dress rehearsal where 741 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: they all stuck to the script and then the quote 742 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: unquote real show, which they would intercut with with scenes 743 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 1: from the other from the dress rehearsal. Um, he would 744 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: go off script. Nobody knew what he was gonna do. 745 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: Once Harvey Corman sat in that chair. Corman didn't know 746 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: what to expect. And what you see is literally Corman 747 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: in tears and laughing because he just didn't know what 748 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: to expect and and Conway just kept going right and 749 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: and and I understand that that that Corman just couldn't 750 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: control himself in certain scenarios. And it was just just 751 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: but a tip of the wrench. We lost another great one. Um. 752 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,959 Speaker 1: And you know, you never really heard anything bad about 753 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: Tim Conway. He was always, you know, one of Hollywood's 754 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 1: good boys and just a funny, funny man. And uh 755 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: rest in pace pick Tim, We we will miss you. Well. 756 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: That wraps up this hour of the Car Doctor.
