Wayne Carne Rain 22 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: was Wayne was six years old when he went to 23 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: his first meet at Hershey, which is the East Coast 24 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: version of collector car Mecca, and um, it just kind 25 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: of took hold and it just bit him and it's 26 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: sunk in and he created what he's created as we 27 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: all know him, from chasing classic cars, from a forty motorsports, uh, 28 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: from everything else that he does for the good of uh, 29 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: you know, the the automotive world and the rest of 30 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: the world. And we're proud and happy to have him 31 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: with us here today. Wayne. Welcome to boards, sir. Thanks, no, 32 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: it's nice to have you. Um. Collectible cars, let's start 33 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: the conversation there. Uh. You know, everybody thinks they've got 34 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: a collectible Is there a definition by what makes that 35 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: car a collectible car? Well, I mean everybody loves collecting things. Uh. 36 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: A collectible car means um, different things to different people. 37 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: You know, some people could say that they're uh Ford 38 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: pickup truck is a collectible car. You know, it all depends. Um. 39 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: We see what's really great in our hobbies is that 40 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: just when we think that lost generations are gone down 41 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: the road, Um, suddenly there's new generations that are becoming interested, 42 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: such as eighties and nineties cars where a few years ago, 43 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: we thought those cars were long gone, forgotten, no one, 44 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: no one would give them any laws. And suddenly we 45 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: get a different generation that they grew up with those cars, 46 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: and now they're they're collectible cars. So it means a 47 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: lot of different things to a lot of different people, 48 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: and it's it's the memory. I agree with you. About 49 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: a year ago, I read somewhere that the eight one 50 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: Chrysler aries the K car is now a collectible. Um, 51 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: you know, um, bring a trailer. Yesterday there was a 52 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: Plymouth Voyager with a hundred and seventy thousand miles on it. 53 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: It's hold for twelve grand. I mean, you know, you can't. 54 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: You can't sort of explain that kind of stuff. That 55 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: mini vans are becoming very popular suddenly, and if you 56 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: have a minivan with very low sub fifty thousand miles 57 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: on it, it becomes very valuable. So pickup trucks. There 58 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: was there was a Ford pickup truck I believe it 59 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: was in n to fifty that's sold for a hundred 60 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a couple of weeks ago. Very low miles actually, 61 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: actually I think it was below a hundred miles, but 62 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: still a hundred thousand dollars for a Ford F two fifties. 63 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: So there's different collectors and that's what makes this, Uh, 64 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: this hobby is so interesting. So how big is the 65 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: you know, if you had to define it and say, 66 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: the collector car hobby is so many millions or billions 67 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: of dollars or a percentage of just the US economy. 68 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: Is there a number? Is there a way to to 69 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: equate that to something? You know, I've never I've never 70 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: thought of it that way. Um, But you get if 71 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: you start looking at particular cars, for instance, G. T O. 72 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: Ferraris itself for seventy million dollars UM. And then you 73 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: go right down the line to cars that, like I 74 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: just said, like a Plymmet Voyager or Dot cup truck. 75 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: It it amasses quite a bit of money. UM. But 76 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: I think more than anything, the important answer is is 77 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: that how many collectors there are, how many people are 78 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: interested in the automotive hobby around the world. It's totally amazing. 79 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: I think that UM television such as my TV show 80 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: has brought a new vision to what collecting cars in 81 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: that hobby is all about. People read magazines. Previously, UM, 82 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: they watched motor racing on television. But when all of 83 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: a sudden car show was came to the front, front 84 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: of forefront and became very popular all over the world. 85 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: It brought a new spark to the to the industry. 86 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: It's it's been wonderful. Do you what are you working 87 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: on in the shop right now? Wayne? What's the what's 88 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: what's the flavor or the assortment of cars that the 89 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: shop is currently working on? A forty Motorsports. Oh jeez, 90 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: you know. We're restoring um and Edwards, which was a 91 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: car that was made by a gentleman whose name is Edwards. 92 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: He was in San Francisco and he was one of 93 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: the founders of the Pebble Beach um Concord as well 94 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: as the auto race that went through the Del Monte Forest. 95 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: And this was a car that he had built. He 96 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,679 Speaker 1: thought he was going to mass produce him. He built 97 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: six of them and uh so this was the prototype. 98 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: This is the first one. So we're restoring that car 99 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: to go a Pebble Beach next year, not this year. Um. 100 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: We're restoring a car called the Cadillac Valkyrie. It was 101 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: it was Brookes Stevens design and a very unusual front end, 102 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: very unusual looking car, and Brook Stevens brought that car 103 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: all over the world and showed it at different auto shows, 104 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: the Paris Auto Show, the Frankfurt Auto Show, New York 105 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: Auto Show, and so it's a it's an auto show 106 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: car and we're restoring it and we're going to go 107 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: in three to build a desk over in Italy with 108 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: that car. So a lot of these cars are long 109 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: term projects. We have short term projects to a Maserati borer. 110 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: We're doing right now a complete restoration on UM. We 111 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: just finished the Ditmasa Angusta UM and we we serviced 112 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: a lot of cars and then my cars, Oh my gosh, 113 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: I'm finally allowing myself to bring my own cars into 114 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: the shop. So we're just finishing now a N six 115 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: Jaguar SS one hundred that was owned by Dave Garaway, 116 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: who was the host of The Today Show in the 117 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: fifties and he was the first live rockcast television star. 118 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: And Dave dy was so well known for his h 119 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: his collectibility of a collector of many different Jaguars, and 120 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: this was one of his favorites that he raced. And 121 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: I'm very probably be to own that car. Other than 122 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: that it was his car. Is there's something about that 123 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: car that just you know, turn turns, wayne switch, you 124 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: know what? What what lights your fire on that car? 125 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: What makes you giggle? Well, it's a style car that 126 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed, the open cockpit, although I do love coops, 127 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: but this one. Dave Um in nine heard that Jaguar 128 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: was coming out with the one twenty and with a 129 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: with a larger engine that was in previously in any 130 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: Jaguar and it was basically an engine that they've used 131 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: Um and they developed and it turned out to be 132 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: the D type and the C type engine later on. 133 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: But yet he got that engine from Jaguar, took the 134 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: smaller displacement engine out of the car, which he had 135 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: tried to supercharge to make it go faster, and put 136 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: this one Jag engine in. And the factory had never 137 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: let an engine leave the factory unless it was in 138 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: a car. Well, they've made an exception for that and 139 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: they gave it to Dave and it's still in the 140 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: car today. So I think the race history and the 141 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: history of the engine swap. And then in nine Dave 142 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: did something outrageous and he put an alligator interior in 143 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: the car, so it still has that alligator interior as 144 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: great race history, and it's written up in magazines and books. 145 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: It's just huge box fulls of all the writ ups 146 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: about the car. So I loved history and I love 147 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: unusual cars, and I think those two things are what 148 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: did it for me. Going back to the gentleman that 149 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: built the Edwards, So that has to be a complete 150 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: hand fabrication of everything because obviously there's no parts. You 151 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: you've got to be making everything for that car. Yeah, 152 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: I tell you, it was in really great shape. Um. 153 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: It had been shown previously a pebble beach, um, but 154 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: not painted the correct color. But it's the fit of 155 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: the car. Everything is such so tricky. Here we got 156 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: a very very early fiberglass car. You gotta remember the 157 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: Corvettes came out of and so this was one of 158 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: the very first hand built fiberglass cars and they were 159 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: they were experimenting a lot. So it has a lot 160 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: of Osmobile component, has an Osmobile engine, Osmobile dashboard, UM 161 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: engages and then a lot of fabrication. Um, it looks 162 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: very Italian. Um. So it's it's a quite unusual car. 163 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: And the unique part about this project is that it 164 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: belongs to a great customer vibe. And his last name 165 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: is Edwards, so that's the reason he wanted. He wanted 166 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: a car that had his name and uh, and he 167 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: had not ever been to Pebble Beach before. He's he's 168 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: a mopar collector, but he never really dove in into 169 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: that pool of collector cars going at too high end 170 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: car shows. So we're excited about that project with him. 171 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: There's always there's always a story attest to collect their cars. Hey, Wayne, 172 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: sit tight, let's pull over and take a pause. When 173 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: we come back, we'll continue this conversation. I appreciate you 174 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: being here, sir. Ron and Any in the Car Doctor. 175 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: We are back right after this. Whether it's a little 176 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: red Corvette or you go, you've come to the right 177 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: place to get that car fixed. Ron and Any in 178 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: the Car Doctor five five five zero nine nine zero zero. 179 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: Now back to n Wayne. When we pulled away for 180 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: the pause, we were talking about, you know, collectible cars 181 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: and stories. Everybody's got a great collector car story, right, 182 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: do you ever get tired of hearing everybody's story? No, 183 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: that's the best part. I mean, the best part is 184 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: the stories when I bring people around and I show 185 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: in my collection. That's what makes the difference to me 186 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: is that there is the story of bed behind the car. 187 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: So I think that that's a very very important part 188 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: of it. Uh And and sometimes you lose that story 189 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: when you, let's say, buying a card auction. And I'm 190 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: not against buying cars at auction, but I like buying 191 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: them from the family, from the individual that's had for 192 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: a long period of time, and the stories that go 193 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: along with it. I mean, I'm writing a book right 194 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: now all about those stories and uh, in my life 195 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: with cars, and so it's an important part of it 196 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: because that's that's Americana. I you know, quick quick car story. 197 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: Wayne Um I brought a seventy two monty Carlo three 198 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: years ago. Found it in Texas craigslist town called mind Minor, Texas. 199 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: If you look it up, it's about eight city blocks wide. 200 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: It's like a speck of dust on the Texas Prairie. 201 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: Is just tiny. And it was, you know, it was 202 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: a grant. And the gentleman I was buying it from 203 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: his name was like Francis Pope, all right, I don't 204 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 1: think he's gonna mind, And um I said, I'll take 205 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: the car. We talked about it. We we hammered out 206 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: the price, and he says, how do we do this? 207 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: I said, I'll tell you what. I'll send you the 208 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: check when the check clear, send me a title. He said, 209 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: just like that. I said, yeah, your last name is pope. 210 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: If I can't trust you, who can I trust? And 211 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: you know it just worked out. I sent him the check. 212 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: Three days later, he says, the check cleared, he sent 213 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: me the title and ship me the car. We're done. 214 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: And you know that's what makes collecting cars so much fun, 215 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: the idea that that exists. Uh. You know, if I 216 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: asked you, Wayne, what what wound your clock? What was 217 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: the first car you started to drive in? It probably 218 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: brings up these really great memories, right oh? Absolutely. You know, 219 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: Um my dad restored cars for a living when I 220 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: grew up.

We would run 252 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: up to Boston, we run down to North Carolina. You 253 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: could drive anywhere and if it broke, which it did break, 254 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: you would you know, park the car. You'd walked to 255 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: the nearest you know, auto parts store wherever it was. 256 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: You'd take out your you know, seven wrenches for screw 257 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: drivers and a hammer, and you fix the car with 258 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: the parts you had and you were done. You know, 259 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: it's a problem today right the the the collectible car 260 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: can't break down on the side of the road. It's 261 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: those parts aren't there like they once were, and it 262 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: it just makes the hobby a little bit more stressful. Yeah, 263 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: but I'll tell you people obvious say to me when 264 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: they buy a car, said, they say, is it you 265 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: think this is gonna break down? And I said, we'll 266 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: count out it. That's part of the fund. Yeah, you know, 267 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: it is part of the fun. I said. You meet 268 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: the nicest people. If you pull over on the side 269 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: of the road with your hood up in a collector car, 270 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: you'll get twenty people that stop wanting to help you, 271 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: and you make new friends. I mean, it's not the 272 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: way to do it, actually, but if in in case, 273 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: it happens um and and there's always someone there to 274 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: help out, so it becomes a little car show. It 275 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: makes it. Yeah, it becomes a little car show right 276 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: there on interstate. You know exactly. We got to We've 277 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: got to save this car. Uh. You know it really 278 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: is true. You know we're we're here, we are right. 279 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: How I how I fell in love with the Monty 280 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: Carlo is is that a friend of mine was getting 281 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: married in Atlanta and we had we had no car 282 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: that we knew would make it to Atlanta. So we 283 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: rented from National Car Rental a nineteen seventy two Monte Carlo. 284 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: And three of us guys drove to Atlanta in this 285 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: car and you said, it breaks down. The engine bleue 286 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: just outside of Atlanta, and we called National and brought 287 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: us a new car and pick that one up. That 288 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: was my way of repairing the car. Yeah, but that's 289 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: you know, they were they were such great road cars. Yeah. 290 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: I I put four hundred thousand miles on the first 291 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: one I had. And you know it's funny, I think 292 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: about why I get rid of it, and I got 293 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: rid of it because let's see, the seat was torn, 294 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: the driver's seat needed to be reupholstered, and the floor 295 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: pan was starting to buckle because you know, just so 296 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: many miles on it. It was just kind of getting 297 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: hollowed out. And oh, you know there's a little bit 298 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: of rust on the fender. Today that car would be 299 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: patina and it would just be you know, let's just 300 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: just drive it another four hundred thousand. So it's everything. 301 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: Everything is a matter of perspective. Um, you know, quick 302 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: question before we pull over one more time, when I 303 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: want you to think about this.

Wayne, you know where's the next 335 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: four oh nine in the collector car world? What do 336 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: you think the upcoming collectible will be? Well, low production cars. Um, 337 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: that seems to be really the focus. I mean, Um, 338 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: Porsches are so hot at the moment, and and I 339 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: love the car, but yet I don't understand it. They 340 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: made so many of them, so to me like a 341 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: Dodge Demon, although I just sold my Demon with a 342 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: hundred seventy miles UM. And anything that's low production and 343 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: the new Corvette I think is fabulous. Um, they're going 344 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: to make a lot of them, but they'll have special ones. 345 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: So you were mentioning electric cars, So the E Ray 346 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: will be coming out a couple of years, which is 347 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: the electrical car of electric corbette Um supposed to be 348 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: seven hundred horse power UM, six hundred to the rear 349 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: wheels with one motor in the back and a hundred 350 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: to the front wheel. So it's gonna be a four 351 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: wheel drive electric car. I find that exciting. UM. But 352 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: I think with what happened with the coronavirus, it's sort 353 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: of enclosed this all and people finally recognize that lack 354 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: of traveling on an airplane and go or going for 355 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: a cruise or whatever it might be, was replaced by 356 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: collector cars. So people are stuck at home. What do 357 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,239 Speaker 1: I do? All of a sudden, that thought process. You know, 358 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: if I get in my car, I'm by myself. I'm 359 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: not you know, bothering anyone or infecting anyone. Um, and 360 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: our car sales went through the roof. And the business 361 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: has been so strong lately, and for all types of 362 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: collector cars. So um, the next collector car. UM, it's 363 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: whatever comes around. It's sort of uh, means something to you. 364 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: And I think that that is different for everyone. So 365 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: what I say doesn't really matter to somebody else that 366 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,239 Speaker 1: they I mean, we're talking to electric cars. I just 367 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: bought yesterday a nine team ten Waverley Electric. And because 368 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: of electric cars being around and becoming more and more popular, 369 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: and all the manufacturers finally turning that corner and going 370 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: partially or full in, like Alexas are going to be 371 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: full into electric cars. UM, it creates interest in the 372 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: vintage electric cars. People thought that the Tesla and the 373 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: Priests were the first electric cars. Well, electric cars date 374 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: back to the eighteen hundreds, and I think that that 375 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: interest is starting to be known and recognized. And so 376 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: I'm starting to look for some cool electric cars I 377 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: have a nineteen nine Baker in my collection. That's a 378 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: little roadster. We just love the car. Um My grandson 379 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: and I cruise all over our farm and it and 380 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: we'll go down the road and it's just it's just 381 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: very unusual and very cool. So and Pebble Beach, Amelia Island. 382 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: All the major car events around the country this year 383 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: are recognizing electric cars. So do you think, you know, 384 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: do you ever stop to think so by thirty five, 385 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: GM says they'll be all electric. I think Ford and 386 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: Jaguar by thirty and the list and the list goes on. 387 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: So does that hurt the A market? Does that hurt 388 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: the guides? You know, got that older gas engine muscle 389 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: car or collectible from the fifties or the thirties, or 390 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: you know, does that change their value at all? Do 391 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: you think, Well, here's what I think is is that 392 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: that won't change. People will still want to get in 393 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: an internal combustion engine car. UM as far as Cadillac 394 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: and all those guys saying, I think that that's a 395 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: lot of bourbage that sort of flies around. Cadillac actually 396 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: said or GM said that they they'll be all electric 397 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: in some models. But getting to the focus of this. 398 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: I think that the biggest concern is teaching young people 399 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: how to drive standard shift cars. That, more than anything, 400 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: is something that's so important with the transmissions that are 401 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: in cars today, cars on the road or automatic shift. 402 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: So if young people don't know how to drive a 403 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: standard shift, why would they want to buy a car 404 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: that is a standard shift that they can't use? And 405 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,479 Speaker 1: they're timid to learn. So if we can teach more 406 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: and more people how to drive standard ships, I think 407 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 1: that that saves our hobby and saves our our beautiful 408 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: collector cars in there more than the influx of electric 409 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: cars going into the marketplace. Um. And this is gonna 410 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: be a long term situation. If you look at the 411 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: grid that we have the highway system today, um, and 412 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: your electric cars getting three hundred miles to a charge. Um. 413 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: And I just drove, for instance, I have this week. 414 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: I'm part of the New England Motor Press Association, so 415 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 1: I so I write about cars and I'm driving an 416 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,959 Speaker 1: F two fifty I mean F one fifty UM power 417 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: Boost which is a hybrid and it gets seven hundred 418 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: miles to a tankful and it's got four hundred and 419 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: forty horsepower. I mean, it's just the technology just grows 420 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: and grows. Porsche is working on a synthetic fuel now, 421 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: so we won't have that to pump the oil out 422 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: of the ground in order to fuel our automobiles someday 423 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: down the road. So I think electric cars are here 424 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: to stay. More and more will probably be in city environments. 425 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: But as far as going across the country or jumping 426 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: in the car to go to Florida, that gasoline powers 427 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: car is still looking pretty good. It's it's got to 428 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: be the option. My argument has always been, show me 429 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: how you're going to recharge that car and the time 430 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: it takes you in a gas station, how you're going 431 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: to recharge the battery. The only thing I've I've read 432 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: and I agree with this is there's talk that they 433 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: will make hot swappable battery packs where you'll go into it, 434 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: you'll go into a battery station and they'll they'll swap 435 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: the battery in and out. But what's the cost factor? 436 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: And then what if you get a bad battery from 437 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: the last charging station, how do they come get you? 438 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: It just it presents some complications and then ultimately the 439 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: numbers I'm reading lately Charles Lane just wrote a post 440 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: or story yesterday in the Washington Post and he talked 441 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: about the numbers in terms of what's going to charge 442 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: the grid and where the electricity is going to come from, 443 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: and citing his article, he said, in the year that 444 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,719 Speaker 1: would be five years into an electrification program that's supposed 445 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: to be complete, will be still operating. I think it 446 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: was eleven um even coal fired plants and natural gas 447 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: plants creating the electricity for the electric cars. So it's 448 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 1: still a fossil fuel based environment. So what are we 449 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: doing here? That's that's definitely a problem. Uh you know, um, 450 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: it was funny. I saw I saw a picture once 451 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 1: of the charging station somewhere and there was a comings 452 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: diesel generator behind it that ran to create the power 453 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: to put in your car. This is not making any 454 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: set um And that's the problem is that what's going 455 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: to happen to these batteries? I mean, where are they 456 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: going to go? What's going to happen to them down 457 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: the road? And and uh, investing in companies today I 458 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: think that have the technology of recycling these back batteries, 459 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: it's going to be a great company to invest in 460 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: because that's the new thing that they can create, the power. Um, 461 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: but what's it take to get rid of it? Um? 462 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: I had to UM. I had the fortune to sit 463 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: down and have lunch with Gordon Murray once. UM Gordon 464 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: called myself phone. I was at a pebble beach and 465 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: he says, this is Gordon Murray. Would you mind having 466 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: lunch with me today? Are you kidding me? One of 467 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: my idols? And we sat and talked for three hours. 468 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: And the one thing he said is he says, everyone's 469 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: worried about the carbon footprint of the automobile itself, but 470 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 1: can you imagine, he said, the carbon footprint of the 471 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: manufacturing plant that makes that automobile, if far, exceeds anything. 472 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 1: And so what he's been trying to do, which has 473 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: created cleaner and more environmentally safe plants to build these cars, 474 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, you've got to look at the 475 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: whole picture. I guess. So, looking at the disposal of 476 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: the batteries, how we get the electricity that doesn't seem 477 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: to be being addressed at the moment. It's oh, electric 478 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: cars of the Savior of the Earth. Well maybe not 479 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: so much, maybe not so much. Hey, Wayne, we're gonna 480 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: pull over when we come back, let's talk about something fun. 481 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: Let's get the folks all wired up and talk about 482 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: how they're gonna find good car shows this coming season, 483 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: and maybe it'd be a good weekend to go take 484 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: a cruise. Stay put, we're talking with Wayne Corney. I'm 485 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: runing any in the Car Doctor. We'll both be back 486 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: right after this. A welcome back any of the Car Doctor. 487 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: Winding up to sour with Wayne Corni chasing class at cars. Wayne, 488 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: you know, gonna be a fun weekend right beginning to 489 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: spring this weekend and hopefully we get some good spring 490 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: and summer weather. You know, is there a way you 491 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 1: know we want to get families out to do car shows? Right, 492 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: the ultimate social distance event, social distancing event, uh, coming 493 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: out of COVID, right, but great, great way to spend 494 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 1: the weekend with family. Correct? It is? It is? We 495 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: have a local show, um that we did last year 496 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: even but what it was was a drive by show. 497 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: So everybody brought their cars. We spaced them out two 498 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 1: cars apart, and we have people just drive by in 499 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: their own vehicle and look at the cars. So, I 500 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: mean there was always a way to do it. But 501 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: as we loosen up here a little bit more things 502 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: are going to start happening. It's it's spring here in 503 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: the Northeast. UM. I hope to get some of my 504 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: cars up and drive them tomorrow.

Pebble 521 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: Beach will probably be at about half speed. This year, 522 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: there won't be all the parties going on, and all 523 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: the things that normally happened.

David Gooding won't be 525 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: there with his auction. So listen as long as we 526 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: can get out and get momentum again. Um, get going again. 527 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: I'm Nelly Island. Even though that it's in Florida. The 528 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: mask roll is not going on down there. For respect 529 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: for people all over the world and all over the 530 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: country that are going to come to that event.

Um, these are 533 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: all things that we got to think about. But yet, 534 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: don't hide in your house. Get in your car and 535 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: use it, drive it, go out and meet people, go 536 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: to small events. We have a local small event at 537 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: a brewery of beautiful brewery that that happens at a 538 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:37,719 Speaker 1: tobacco barn in Connecticut. We get cars, but it's just 539 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: that socialization. You need to get out, socialized with your 540 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: friends and see cars again. There is a socialization to cars, 541 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: you know. One of my one of my earliest favorite 542 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: memories of my dad would be when I was a kid, 543 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: and my dad passed when I was eleven. But I 544 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: remember I was five or six years old and we 545 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: would go out Sunday morning for milk. We lived in 546 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: North Jersey, and you go for milk. We went to 547 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania because Dad wanted to take a ride in the 548 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: car and go look at the cows. And uh, Dad, 549 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: where are we going? We're going to church to stand. 550 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: Get in the car. Um. You know, I thought Chua 551 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: Stand was a real place. For for the better part 552 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: of twenty years, I kept looking for church to stand 553 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: on a map. I never found it. But uh, you 554 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: know that Dad and his stories and let's go for 555 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: a ride and and you know, just great times. And 556 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: I think that if you can't find a car show 557 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks, just get out on 558 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: a Sunday and let's bring back the Sunday ride, the 559 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,239 Speaker 1: ride to nowhere for a couple of hours and just 560 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: see the sights and see the country. Right. What a 561 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. You know. When 562 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: when COVID hit and it was March, um, I was 563 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,719 Speaker 1: very fortunate to get my new Corvette right right before 564 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: they closed down, and uh, so I have an autistic daughter, 565 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: and her and I spent so much great time together 566 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: just driving around that corvette, and I got to see 567 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: pounds I never knew existed in the day of Connecticut. 568 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: You know, we would just go out for a ride 569 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: and just go look around, stop somewhere, maybe get a 570 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: cup of coffee or something. But yet you got out, 571 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: you enjoyed yourself, the fresh air, um and then the camaraderie. 572 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: That was the most important part. You know, you were 573 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: talking about going for a ride for no reason. Remember 574 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: the vault ball eighteen hundreds, that that went three million miles? 575 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: Her her, I think the Gentleman's that was the science 576 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: tr Yeah, from from Long Island.
