Speaker 1: the sea, ron Anian, and now this conversation on uber

3
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: and self driving vehicles. I don't know that you'll be

4
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: able to afford the driver car, because you'll be the

5
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: odd ball trying to support something's gonna get to be very,

6
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: very expensive, again, the car Doctor. As the millennials get older,

7
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: and as this whole new generation Gen Z and the

8
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: next one, will they buy cars? And will there be

9
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: cars to buy? Welcome to the radio home of ron

10
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: and Anian the Car Doctor, since this is where car

11
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: owners the world overturned to for their definitive opinion on

12
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,520

Speaker 1: Jeff Firestone we'll call you back and speak to you

35
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: about your car problem and get you up here on

36
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: air to talk to you about what's going on. Um.

37
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 1: Speaking of what's going on, we're gonna talk a little

38
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: bit about the opening, uh in the opening today, we'll

39
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about two thousand eight Toyota camera. Um.

40
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: The story of of what's involved with this car is

41
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: up on Facebook. But um, we gotta get serious for

42
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: a minute, Okay, and I'm serious. We gotta get serious.

43
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: We UM, we suffered a loss this week, folks, and

44
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to share it with you be because you

45
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: are my extended family, each and every one of you. UM.

46
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: We just had him on the show this past Memorial Day. UM,

47
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: and if you were here, you uh, you know who

48
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. UM. He's been with us for many,

49
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: many years. First Lieutenant Stephen in Nanian, my uncle, uncle

50
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: Steve UM passed away this week at the age of

51
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: ninety five. I'm sorry to announce, UM, witness sleep UM

52
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: had a grand life. UM, tough son of a gun. Uh.

53
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: I could say a couple of other things, but we're

54
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: here on radio. UM. But then again, of Uncle Steve,

55
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: we're here, he would say, sure, what the heck, go

56
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: ahead say it. UM, We're gonna do a little montage

57
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: of Uncle Steve down around the bottom of the hour

58
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: or the best of and you probably want to have

59
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: your ability to record it because we've captured over the

60
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: years Uncle Steve some of Uncle Steve's best stories. UM,

61
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: talking about his his his his his journey through the

62
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: Second World War and what it was all about. So

63
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: but yes, Uncle Steve Stephen Innanian Um passed away this

64
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: week at the age of ninety five and um, we

65
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: know you're all sitting there thinking and praying for him,

66
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: and uh, no need, Uncle Steve has his wings already.

67
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's flying once again. And um he's blue skies.

68
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that a little bit later on

69
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: down around the bottom of the hour. UM two thousand

70
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: and eight, Toyota camera, you know it, and it's it's

71
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's hard to even come back from

72
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: something like that, but I wanted to do that and

73
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: get that out out in front. Um. This car came

74
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: in with a battery light on. And there's probably a

75
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: little bit more to the story than just that it

76
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: came in with a battery light on and a fresh battery.

77
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: And you know, you wondered, did which came first, the

78
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: chicken or the egg? What caused the light to come on?

79
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: Was it? Was it something related through the battery replacement,

80
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: which was done, you know, by a non mechanic or

81
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: was it you know, what was the original problem? So

82
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: where do you begin to diagnosis? I know all together

83
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: now you begin to diagnosis at the beginning when through

84
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: the usual drill scan it for fault codes, check the battery,

85
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: checked for a draw, did the basic electrical system test.

86
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: Everything turned out good. Looks like we have a car

87
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: with a bad alternator. There's a couple of specific tests

88
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: that you need to do on two thousand eight cameras

89
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: and toyotas of that generation. Uh. There are four wires

90
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: on the V six is a V six camera by

91
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: the way, if you can't tell by the pictures up

92
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: on Facebook, but there are four wires leading up to

93
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 1: that alternator. There's the heavy red wire, the heavy gage

94
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: red wire, which is the main battery output to the

95
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: vehicle that had battery voltage on it. There is a

96
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: red wire coming out of what i'll call the volta

97
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: regulator plug, the the three wire connector coming out the

98
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: side of the alternator. There is battery voltage on that.

99
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: There's a yellow red which had battery voltage key on,

100
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: engine off, and there was a yellow wire. Yellow wire

101
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: triggers the dash warning light to come on. It looks

102
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: for a voltage pressure differential. It's if there's four teen

103
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: volts on one side of the bulb and team vaults

104
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: on the other. The alternator is smart enough and it

105
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: the ground doesn't work and the bulb stays out. If

106
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: there is a voltage drop or loss on the ground

107
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: leg of the yellow wire feeding the alternator. It construes

108
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: that voltage difference from one side of the bulb to

109
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: the other as a failure of the charging system. When

110
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: it reaches a preset limit, Bang turns on the dash light.

111
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: I went through all that, and you know not that

112
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: this is a big diagnostic story. The car had a

113
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: bad alternator. Two thousand and eight camera with about eighty

114
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: thousand miles on it had a legitimate bad alternator. Getting

115
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: the alternator out, now that's another story. How'd you like

116
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: to take take the front bumper off to replace the alternator? Yeah?

117
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: All right? I mean, how many of you honestly would

118
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: sit there and believe the mechanic. Yeah, you know, it's

119
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: a half a day's labor. We've got to take the

120
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: front bumper off. We've got to take the radiator out.

121
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: Have to take the radiator out to get the alternator

122
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: out of the car. You all have to get the

123
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: radiator out just to see the alternator in the car,

124
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: which you would see if you go to the Facebook page.

125
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: I've got I shot two videos. Excuse me, and and

126
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, um. The reason the one video looks cock,

127
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: I'd like it is. Well, we learned something new if

128
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: you go live to post to Facebook. What happened was

129
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: we went to post live and it said say something

130
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: about this video, and I typed in what the video

131
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: was about, and then I realized we wanted to shoot

132
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: it in um landscape mode, not portrait we wanted, so

133
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,119
Speaker 1: we turned the camera and the camera flipped in landscape mode.

134
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: But Facebook, in their go live feature already had us

135
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: locked in his portrait. So that's why when you look

136
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: at the video, yeah, it looks like I'm standing, I'm

137
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: standing on my head and the cars on the wall.

138
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: That's not the case. Couldn't change it, though, and it's

139
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: a great video, so we left it. The second video,

140
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: the post repair video shoot, is shot correctly and it

141
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: it looks pretty good. Um, but take a look at

142
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: both of them. Look at how that car is stuffed together.

143
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, you can sit there and say, hey, it's

144
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: only a bumper. What did it take you to get

145
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: the bumper off the car? Twenty minutes, half hour? Yeah, sure, okay,

146
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: and get the radiator out, Oh maybe another thirty minutes,

147
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: forty five minutes. It's not the worst thing in the world.

148
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: What happens when it's a bumper that's seen more than

149
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: its fair share of parking lot uh, you know, parking

150
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: space ambutments. What if it's a bumper that's not held

151
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: on all that great? Anyway, Does replacing the alternator require

152
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: the customer to now buy a bumper because you're gonna

153
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: disturb this big, giant piece of plastic that's on the

154
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: front of the car. And what about reassembling it? You know,

155
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: how does the average shop And I wonder this sometimes,

156
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: how does the average shop get away with it? The

157
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: reason being there was more than two dozen plastic clips

158
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: and bolts and screws holding this bumper to the car.

159
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: And you know, we keep an assortment. I actually have

160
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: a Toyota and a Nissan and a Honda assortment of clips,

161
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, common body bumper, vendor, wheel liner clips, things

162
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: that you would use. I counted this particular camera needed

163
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: sixty eight dollars worth of plastic clips to put the

164
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: bumper back on, because the majority of the clips that

165
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: came out were so beat up they had to be replaced.

166
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: You couldn't get them to you know, click in the

167
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: whole and and work. So sixty eight bucks just for

168
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: plastic clips because they're all special shape, special size, eight millimeter,

169
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: ten millimeter, you know, internal punch, external punch, you know,

170
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: internal grip, external grip for an alternator? How hard do

171
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: we have to make this? And then okay, who's alternated

172
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna put on that car? That was the other

173
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: thought that went through my mind. We used the dance

174
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: O great piece, right o E piece original equipment. Would

175
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: you trust the local supply house? You know the the

176
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: densil alternator was a little over three. Would you trust

177
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: the seventy five dollar alternator that the guy down the

178
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: street that rebuilt rebuilt the alternator and my dad's sixty

179
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: three Chevy. I'm using him because it's only seventy five bucks. Yeah.

180
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: How many times you're gonna take that bumper off in

181
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: the radiator out? How many times you're gonna go through?

182
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: This point is? Bottom line becomes look at what cars are?

183
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: Are you ready for this? Folks? Do you understand what

184
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: you're really getting into? You know, the value of a

185
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: car is only measured by what sort of service it

186
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: gives you. And I'm not saying this camera didn't give

187
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: fair service. I don't know how many people would put

188
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: what turned into with a cooling flush because we ended

189
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: up doing a cooling service because this car had a

190
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: cooling service in a while. But between diagnosis, alternator and

191
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: cooling service, I don't know how many people would put

192
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: into a two thousand eight camera with eighty thousand miles on.

193
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: How many people? How many people would run from the

194
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: room screaming. And I guess when I ask you, are

195
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: you ready for this? Are you thinking about it at all?

196
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: Because it's all very different, And that's a two thousand

197
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: and eight. The technology there was ten years old, ten

198
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: model years old. Imagine the newer stuff. It wasn't for

199
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: the faint of heart. I had to diagnose that car.

200
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: I had to no right from the get go. I

201
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: had to be absolutely certain that car needed an alternator.

202
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: Sure once in a while as part of a diagnostic routine,

203
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: like any good like any good technician, I get to

204
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: that point where I'm in theentile, I'll sit there and

205
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: you know it's an alternator. This one I had to

206
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: be certain on because taking a bumper off, to worry

207
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: about cracking things, about breaking things, about further damage, it's

208
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: too high of a risk. So in the end, yeah,

209
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: the camera was an alternator, and it's fixed and it's

210
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: out the door. Sixty eight dollars worth a CLIPS three

211
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: D and something dollars worth of alternator, five worth of labor,

212
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: some diagnosis, some sales tax, of cooling flush. I don't know.

213
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: Are you ready for this? I hope so, because the

214
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: trains on the tracks and the lights bright white, and

215
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's warming up real well. We'll be back

216
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: to take phone calls. Zero nine, zero zero. I'm running

217
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: any of the car doctor, stay tuned. We're coming right back. Hey,

218
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: welcome back, running any of the car doctor. Um, but anyway, yeah, um,

219
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: I lost trying. I lost my train. Thought there, Tony Tony,

220
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: Tony has to borrow money from me again. And I

221
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: think he's I think he's going out tonight. He needed

222
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: twenty dollar bills. We need twenty dollar bills for a town.

223
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: Where are you going any place? Good? No, it's for

224
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: soccer by a train, a train ticket going back to Manhattan. Thomas.

225
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: He blushing. I'm not blushing. He's almost blushing. No, no no, no, no,

226
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: you're We can't say what we said because this is

227
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: the family shown has not written a train recently. He

228
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: doesn't know that what the train affairs are that Bucks

229
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: will barely get him to Manhattan? Will it really? Yes? Yeah,

230
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: I you know, it's funny. We were we were talking

231
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: about this morning, the value of the train versus the car,

232
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: and um, where does you've got uber? Right, you've got

233
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: lift and you've got all these self driving autonomous cars

234
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: and all that that entails, and then um, you know,

235
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: you got the train. I wonder where the train is

236
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: going to fit into in the future with autonomous cars

237
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: and self driving cars, and the cost of the train

238
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: just keeps going up and up and up and up. Um,

239
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: and at what point, you know, trains to me are

240
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: getting to be like toll bridges. At what point have

241
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: they paid for themselves? And we're now starting to generate revenue?

242
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: And I I just but I'm sure they're all crying

243
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: the blues. Anyway, UM, let's keep the garage doors open.

244
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: A five zero nine zero zero, un nady, the car doctor.

245
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: Let's go talk to David Michigan eighty three. Commaro, David.

246
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car doctor, Sir, How can I help?

247
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: I got this car and it, uh, it doesn't show up.

248
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: We did a car facts on me and there was

249
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: no information from three to night, and I was wondering,

250
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: why would that be? Because the car X cars only

251
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: show up when the car is serviced at a dealer.

252
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: That's how that's how they know. So that tells me

253
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: that that car came out of the dealer, whatever the

254
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: dealer was, and a private garage serviced it up until

255
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: So then the question becomes what dealer? What dealers sold

256
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: the car? Right, that's the next question. Yeah, I guess so, Um,

257
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: does that mean a dealer owned it and just drove

258
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: it around? Maybe? But then if a dealer, well no,

259
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: because if a dealer owned it, it would have been

260
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: serviced in the dealer service department and it would have

261
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: turned up on Carfax because it shows up with like

262
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: thirty two thousand miles and day. I called them and

263
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: they said, there's that's just it. There's no other information.

264
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: They didn't have anything. So does it show Now? Let

265
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: me ask you this. If you look at the title,

266
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: how many how many times has the car been titled?

267
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: There's usually a prefix or a suffix. It's been titled

268
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: eight times. Yeah, because the head of a list from

269
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: up to probably two thousand and eight when I got it,

270
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: of everybody, every time the title was changed over, but

271
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: from A six there was no list and how many miles?

272
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: How many miles running? Now dog, Now there's probably a

273
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: good between three hundred and four hundred thousand and on it.

274
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: Now wow, yeah, original factory car. I think. Well, you know,

275
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: sometimes the cars will give you the clues on where

276
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: they came from. And you know, I mean listen, just

277
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: because you know where where does it show the title?

278
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: Does it show you what state that the original title

279
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: was done in. It showed you that it originally came

280
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: from van Neusch, California, where the car was built. They

281
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,119
Speaker 1: only built them in two places, it was Ohio and California.

282
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: It's nice car. So you know, if you look, I'm

283
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: not sure on a Camaro, but on on certain GM

284
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: cars you're either gonna look under the back seat or

285
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: from the top of the gas tank for the build sheet. Yeah,

286
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: we found what was left of it. Okay, that wasn't

287
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: much left of it, right, Um. I would tell you

288
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: there are ways to determine where that car came from.

289
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: You have to contact General Motors and see if their

290
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: records will go back that far. But I do I

291
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: have heard of ways for people to trace where did

292
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: this particular vehicle come from and and then maybe that

293
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: will tell them. But if that car does not show

294
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: up on Carfax till thirty two thousand miles, I wouldn't

295
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: let it scare me. I'd just be curious to find

296
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: out what the history is. Uh oh yeah, that's that's

297
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: that's what's dritting me. Curiosity. Yeah, um, I was, yeah,

298
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: just curious where did you go after it left the factory?

299
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: Because somebody was driving and somebody was doing something, wasn't

300
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: you know? Um, like I said, it's it's probably the

301
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: case that nobody, you know, they never took it to

302
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: a dealer for service. It doesn't register Carfax until the

303
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: vehicle is dealer serviced, um, you know, or and I

304
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: don't know this. I don't know this for certain. You know,

305
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: I don't know to what level Carfax would work before

306
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,840

00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: do this. I don't think it's about Uncle Steve the

Speaker 1: did afterwards as part of that generation that came back.

342
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: Uncle Steve was that guy who was my father's brother.

343
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,840

345
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: You know. He was that kid that I'd be wearing

346
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: my little sleeper pajamas with the feedees and that you'd

347
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: be walking around his living room looking at all this

348
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,400

350
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: Steve was a lot more than that. You know. One day,

351
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: we one day we caught him by surprise and he

352
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: started talking to us as we got older and telling

353
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,560

356
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: and the more I got into American history, I realized

357
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: what he had been part of. What a life Uncle

360
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: is called a Ramrod mission. So on the way, I

361
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: was flying over Holland on the over held land actually

362
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: and that's the German west point for anti aircraft gunners,

363
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: and I got hit by one anti aircraft gun and

364
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: I was hitting the supercharge of the aircraft and I

365
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: uh uh flew my airplane losing airplane uh, losing oil

366
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: for about forty five minutes until I finally had a

367
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: bailout over the North Sea. And at that time there

368
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: was gair warnings over the North se was seventy five

369
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: winds and uh ten ft waves and so but I

370
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: have bailed out and uh it was in the water

371
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: for an hour and a half and I was rescued

372
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: by a British Air sc rescue flying boat and uh

373
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: uh I got back and actually and I flew sixty

374
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: missions after that. Did you did you hesitate going up

375
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: the second time? Uncle Stephen. From what I From what

376
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: I remember, they offered you a couple of days off

377
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: leave up in London. You said, heck, no, I want

378
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: to go. That's right, I uh I. I went the

379
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: very nice mission that they flew so uh no, I

380
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: uh I. I was afraid when I flew, but as

381
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: a fair my fear was not of getting killed, but

382
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: I was afraid I screw up. I mean, this is

383
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: what every pilot did. I mean you you had to

384
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: respect what the enemy had to offer. You really had

385
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: a mindset. That whole generation had a mindset as the

386
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: mindset of all the generations have have have come and

387
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: gone since that. You know, it really is a dedication

388
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: to duty um uh for for someone to march off

389
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: to defend the country. And that's really what Memorial Day

390
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: is all about. It's it's not about it's not about

431
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: know it or not, but the Eighth Air Force, the

432
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: losses of our Air Force around group was two thirds.

433
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: That means two other three guys just and give back.

434
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: And uh, I consider myself the rockiest person in the world.

435
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: I flew six combat missions and US was shut down

436
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: on my first mission, went down on the North cy

437
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: in the icy winter waters of the North Sea during

438
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: a gale. And uh, I'm here ninety two years old

439
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: plus I'm still surviving, still going to reunions and still

440
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: driving my car and getting to Friday airplanes and stuff

441
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: like that. And when I got over Paris, I flewed

442
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: along the Schanza did he say? Was my wingman flying

443
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: my wing about fifty ft off the ground and all

444
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: the people were waving us, and we were just smiling

445
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: and laughing and uh. And then we turned at the

446
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: end of the chans Elise as the pallid the shioh

447
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: and I made a left turn and there's the Eiffel Tower.

448
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: We headed towards the Eiffel Tower buzz dot and then

449
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: flew back to London. Now, during the war you couldn't

450
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: fly over London because of the barrage balloons. But on

451
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: V Day that barrage balloons were down, so we flew

452
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: over to file the Square very low and spiraled upwards

453
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: over Lord Nelson's statue and climbed up the twenty thousand feet,

454
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: came back, and we came back and landed. When we landed,

455
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: by commanding officers, Jeep came roaring up to my airplane

456
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,239
Speaker 1: and he jumped out and he said, what the hell

457
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: have you been doing? I said, what's the matter, sir?

458
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,719
Speaker 1: He says, the phone's been ringing off the hook about

459
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:01,000

00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,040

519
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: that you guys are sending in. This one came. I

520
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: don't know how old it is. It's it looks like

521
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: it's a little bit older. Um, but out of the

522
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: York Sunday News talks about farm technology and if you're saying,

523
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: where's Ron going? Where does farm technology have its place

524
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: on a car show? Let's just a glance through this um.

525
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: The article starts out just about every weekend during the

526
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: years warmer months, somewhere up and down the East coast

527
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: you find history re enactment. These aren't the popular Civil

528
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: War living history events, but rather gatherings that instead paid

529
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: tribute to a different kind of history, the developments that

530
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: literally changed the way we produced food in this country.

531
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: They're probably better known as antique tractor shows. And the

532
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,479
Speaker 1: article then goes on to talk about how old workhorse tractors. Right,

533
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: we've all seen them. They're they're driving in the parade.

534
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, it might have even in the

535
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: fourth July Parade this weekend, right where everybody's up there

536
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: and they're polished up their shiny red uh you know,

537
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: uh John dear tractor and farm all. And you know

538
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: it's from nineteen fifty something or nineteen thirty something, just

539
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: an older gas version tractor. The problem is that the

540
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: older tractors, which were just so easy and handy to fix.

541
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: In the middle of the farmer's field, you take the

542
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: farmer with you know, a couple of thousand acres and

543
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: the tractor breaks down in the middle. You know, you

544
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: could fix it out there, You could fix it on

545
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: the side of the road. You could, you know, work

546
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: on it is very simple, very big sick. Where the

547
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: meat and potatoes of this article is is that it

548
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: then goes on to talk about how it's becoming impossible

549
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: and I'm quoting the article here to self fix today's

550
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: high tech micro trip chip encrusted GPS enabled tractors and

551
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: self propelled equipment. And even if a farmer has the

552
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: skills to do that, much of the newest technology now

553
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: runs on software that is patented, and an owner can

554
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: become entangled and copyright legalities if they can figure out

555
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: how to fix the problem themselves. If they can figure

556
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: out how to fix the problem themselves without summoning help

557
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: from an official qualified train technician, Several farming heavy states

558
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: already had proposed legislation to override the legally binding methodology

559
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: preventing owners from repairing their own equipment well. Today's climate controlled,

560
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: copyrighted software operated, climate controlled copyrighted software operated tractors, ever,

561
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: spur the fond memories of the post World War two

562
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: tractors that booted agriculture into today's age of modern productivity.

563
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: Where will be antique tractor show still being held than

564
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: when they are no longer, when they no longer make

565
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: the microchips and software necessary to run the old imported

566
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: from somewhere tractors electronics systems. And how true that is? Right?

567
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: That's you know, it's even affecting the farming community technology
