Speaker 1: this hour. I want to stories about some guy hacked

19
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: into Tesla's great Now we gotta worry about this like

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: they hacked into the Jeeps a couple of years ago.

21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: And I've got some comments from some listeners in Michigan

00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: about different types of fuel to use in small engines.

23
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: But I want to get to Susan in Virginia first.

24
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: Susan in Virginia at Graham Prix. You've been waiting there

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: very patiently. How can I help you run on any night?

26
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: Your service? Yeah? I just had the water pump changed,

27
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: and now I have coolant on the dip stip. Okay.

28
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 1: Why was the water pump changed? The bearings were shot Okay,

29
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: so the pump itself had failed. Yes, Um, noisy leaking

30
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: both yes, everything all right? Um, I know of no

31
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: way that pump comes out through the front. I don't

32
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: know of a way why that would affect coolant in

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: the oil. Um. I'm trying to remember this. This is

34
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: the three one, this is the V six right, Um.

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: Have you taken it back to the shop that did

36
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: the repair? Um it was two young fellas that I know.

37
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: They did it on the driveway. Okay, Because coolant in

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: the oil on that generation engine was usually a leaking

39
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: intake manifold gasket all right, Um, the gas gets leaked

40
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: from underneath high mileage car. Yeah, have you ever you've

41
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: owned it? Now you couldn't have owned it since now.

42
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: But how long have you owned the car? Um? Well,

43
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: we've had it in the family since miles. Um. Ever, ever,

44
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: do intake manifold gaskets on it? Probably not? Okay, probably

45
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,839
Speaker 1: do very common, very common failure. Not something I would

46
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: let two kids in the driveway though, just just just

47
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: out of curiosity. What was the attraction to let the

48
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: two kids in the driveway? Do it? Was one of

49
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: them a family member? Yes, and you know they're mechanical,

50
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: and you know they look on YouTube and they helped me. Actually,

51
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: they helped me out, So I appreciate that, right right

52
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: right right, yeah? I would, Um, you know, and it

53
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: depends is this the big V six or the small

54
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: V six? Um? How do I tell? Is it a mile?

55
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: It's Is it a three one or a three four?

56
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: It's the three one, yes, So it's the base motor.

57
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: That's that's kind of a straight on and off procedure.

58
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: There's no um uh, there's no connection there otherwise, UM,

59
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's in and out. So I uh, I

60
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: don't see why they would be cooling to the oil.

61
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: Um you know, is it is it a case of

62
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: have they have they cleaned you know, have they changed

63
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: the oil and the cool and keeps coming back. I

64
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: didn't do that yet. Yeah, they just did it Thursday.

65
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to have the oil changed and see if

66
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: it continue. Is there any way like the coolin came

67
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: out of the radiator when they were like flushing it

68
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: and got into the oil pan or anything like that,

69
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: not from the radiator, And I don't know. You know

70
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: that that water pump bolts into a front housing. I'm

71
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: trying to remember it that I believe just it was

72
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: part of the cooling jacket. I don't remember there being

73
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: a cross over into the into the engine oil system.

74
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: So you know this is this is simple. Let's change

75
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: the oil. The oil has gotta come out anyway, right,

76
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: there's coolant in it. So if if you change the

77
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: oil and the cool it doesn't come back, then whether

78
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: it was their fault or just part of the job,

79
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: the problem solved. If the cooling continues to come back,

80
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: then I've got to think that, you know, we've either

81
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: got a problem with the water pump. If it's if

82
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: it's direct access to the crank case, which I don't

83
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: recall it does unless this is the other engine nless,

84
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: this is the three four and or we've got leaky

85
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: intake maountifold caskets. Go get the oil changed. Do this,

86
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: do this, So go get the oil changed, and then

87
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: email me the ven if you still have the problem,

88
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: and I'll reference which engine this is, and then I

89
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: can give you better advice because I just want to

90
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: be for before I take you too deep. I want

91
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: to be sure of what we're talking about. All right, Okay,

92
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: Now the intake manifold gaskets, that the head gaskets, no

93
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: intake menifold gaskets are separate, um, and and again depending

94
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: upon which engine may or may not be needed, may

95
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: or may not be a big repair. So it's it's

96
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: we need to know exact information which engine this is

97
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: before we before we go any further. So all right,

98
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, like like like they always say on all

99
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: the great invasions in World War two, let's where do

100
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: we get there to see if we're gonna die. Let's

101
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,239
Speaker 1: go get the oil change and see that it doesn't

102
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: come back, and then we'll u um, then we'll we'll

103
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: we'll worry about it from there. You've got my email

104
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: Ron at card doctor show dot com. I'll look it up.

105
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: Let me ask you should I put any kind of

106
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: feelings in there? No, No, I don't want to band aid.

107
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to start I don't want to start

108
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: doing any any ceiling, you know, until I Well, let

109
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: me ask the question this way is is you know

110
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: what kind of shape is the car? And if you're

111
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: still driving it, you've had the car since forty miles.

112
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: I've got this image of a of a really nice

113
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: kind of pristine at Grand Prix. But you tell me,

114
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: is it? Is it a nice car? Is it? Is it?

115
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: Is it a for lack of a better way to

116
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: put it, is it a rat trap? Is it? You know?

117
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: What is it? Um? You know how nice of a

118
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: car is it? I'm trying to I'm trying to paint

119
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: a picture here to work with. Might have messed it up,

120
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: but my husband kind of messed it up. But I

121
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: still love it and I still want to drive it.

122
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Right right? Oh, so you have emotional attachment to this car. Well,

123
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: I like the big windows. I don't like the new

124
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 1: cars that are all squashed down. You know it's did

125
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: so yes, I'd like to keep it. All right, Well,

126
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: let's let's get the oil chains. The oil has to

127
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: be chained. Let's do that first and then we'll we'll

128
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: kind of take it from there. How's that for an answer?

129
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: That sounds great. You're very welcome. I'm here. If you

130
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: need me, you know where to find me. Okay, you'd

131
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: be well, okay, you're well, you're very welcomed by so

132
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: um see you get into that emotional attachment to a car.

133
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's that that becomes an issue, right, it's

134
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: it's um hm anyway, um let's go over Steve in

135
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. Let's see what's going on here. Steve. Welcome

136
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: to the car doctice, Sir. How can I help? Hi? Ron?

137
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: How are you doing this afternoon? I'm doing great. I'm

138
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: doing great, man. So what's going on? Yes, I've got

139
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: a not too much uh two thousand and four Chevy

140
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: Tahoe and just hitting uh two seventies miles on it

141
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: just broken in and I was just broken in. Um.

142
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: I noticed the other day on the underside of the

143
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: oil cap there was a little bit of moisture and

144
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: what appears to be the red deck cool um, and

145
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: I was possibly thinking I picked up a bottle of

146
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: case seal, is okay to add that stuff as a

147
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: preventive measure with that type of miles on it. Yeah,

148
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: you know, listen at at this at this point in

149
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: the game, it's probably the most economic al answer because

150
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: let's you know, let's let's let's lay it out like this.

151
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: If if k seal didn't exist and you had to

152
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: take it apart, what would a cost overhaul or rebuild

153
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: the engine? Uh? And then you know, I don't know

154
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: New Hampshire is like, but I can tell you what

155
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: New Jersey is like. You know where you have to

156
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: go to get them. You know, you have to go

157
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: to find an engine rebuilder in New Jersey maybe maybe

158
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. Um, because there's there's no machine shops left

159
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: in the north part of the state. There might be

160
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: some in central or south. You know, it's just it's

161
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: it's you know. And you can you can tell that

162
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: by the number of new cars that are in the

163
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: north part of the state and the number of dealerships

164
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: at one time that had new cars on their lots

165
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: but now have used cars. But they're not doing heavy

166
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: engine work, you know, per se, they're they're replacing engines,

167
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: but they're not doing you know, individual rebuild. It's not

168
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: as common as nearly as common as it once was. Um,

169
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: if I if I were going to introduce this uh

170
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: against five three ch Um, would I introduced it into

171
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: the overflow bottle? And will that circulate through off the block? No,

172
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: I'd rather I'd rather put it right into the radiator.

173
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: Pull a little pull, pull a little coolant out of

174
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: the radiator. You know, I believe a bottle of k

175
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: seal is I can't remember if it's eight ounces, ten ounces, um,

176
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: you know, ten twelve ounces, whatever it is, But I

177
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: pull like amount out of the radiator by whatever means

178
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: you've got. And if you've got a suction gun, that

179
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: would be a great thing. And just pull it out

180
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: and pour in the bottle of k seal, read the

181
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: instructions on the back of the bottle and just pour

182
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: it in and go. Um. You know, now, the condensation

183
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: inside the l cap may or may not be coolant related.

184
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: That maybe sludge in the crank case. And you know,

185
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: you may have two issues here. You know, actually seeing

186
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: coolant in the oil cap is one thing. But yellow,

187
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: the yellow placable way to put it, the yellow snot

188
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: that's in there. Um. That's that's usually a description of sludge.

189
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: From moisture contamination, either from driving style, inadequate oil changes,

190
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: quality of oil um, possibly quality of fuel you know,

191
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: lack of fuel system cleaning. You know, there's a lot

192
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: of factors that go into this that will create that

193
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: combustion combustion leakage down past the cylinder walls and so forth. So,

194
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: but to solve the coolant problem, yeah, I like a

195
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: bottle of casel. I listen. I think if I was

196
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: sending my kid away to college and they were far

197
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: from home when I took them through the drill of

198
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: what to do when the car breaks as far as

199
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, flat tires, dead batteries, and that drill, I

200
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: think that there's a bottle of k sal in the

201
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: glove compartment. If you develop a coolant leak, you know,

202
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: I would explain the proper procedure for adding it to

203
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: a cold engine, lower the coolant reserve level. You know,

204
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: I would give him part of the drill. I think cool.

205
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: I think case should be in the global compartment every

206
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: kid going to college's car. I think it's a good

207
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: preventative maintenance. UM, thank you so much for the help.

208
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: Run You're very welcome. Steve, you'd be well. You have

Speaker 1: So every day we'll both be back right after this.

226
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: Don't go away he drives that way. But when it

227
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: comes to fixing cars, Ron has card advice done right

228
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: eight five five five zero nine nine zero zero. Here's Rod.

229
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: Let's do some email and get some of these stories

230
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: out of the way. I want to I want to

231
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: say my piece while I can. A couple of weeks ago,

232
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: we were talking about you had called in. A couple

233
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: of you had called in with some comments and concerns

234
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: your your small engines, your snowblowers, your lawnmowers. You were

235
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: putting them away, your snowblowers, you were getting them ready.

236
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: About fuel and you know, I talked to you about

237
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: one of the brands I like, is top Fuel, but

238
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: they're all is you know, an ethanol free fuel was

239
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: the idea, Um, you can get top fuel, I think

240
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: at home, deep over, you know the hardware stores, you

241
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: can buy it online and Amazon. You know it's out there.

242
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: But the idea is that it's an ethanol free fuel.

243
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: And it was kind of expensive. Um. A couple of

244
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: you wrote in. But Biff wrote in an interesting comedy, said, Hey,

245
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: Ron in Michigan, I purchased ethanol free gasoline. Now this

246
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: might be a state thing, right, maybe it's not available everywhere,

247
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: but I purchased ethanol free gasoline ninety octane at regular

248
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: gas station. It is marketed as wreck r ec wreck

249
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: gas at an actual pump. My last two gallon fillip

250
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: two weeks ago was three seventy nine per gallons. Some

251
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: stations are above four dollars a gallon. I use it

252
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 1: EXCLU simply in all my small engine equipment. But even

253
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: running this gas, I do not winter over with gas

254
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: in the system. UM okay, yeah, now I'll winter I'll

255
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: leave it in. Um I'll winter over with top fuel.

256
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: I'll leave it in there. Uh. You know in some situations, UM,

257
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: sometimes I will. I will run them out. But the

258
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: ethanol free stuff seems to help. Um. But you know

259
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: we will will well, I won't winter over the summer.

260
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry the winter fuel. Uh. The snowblower gets drained.

261
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: The lawnmower, it doesn't seem to be as important. Although

262
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: this year I did, I had the opportunity to. Although

263
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: I only did it two weeks ago. It took me

264
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: that long to get back out to the shed. That

265
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: drain the lawnmower weren't long enough. We've been so busy.

266
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: Um but um, Biff continues. There's a website, although it

267
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: may not be up to date, that show stations who

268
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: SELP pure gas, leading by state and TOWNY doesn't list

269
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: the website. But I get the point. Bill, I'm biff.

270
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Biff in Lansing, Michigan. Um, you know, and yeah,

271
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: that's it's out there. Um you know. So the idea

272
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: is the it's the ethanol that's hurting the small engines,

273
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: especially in the fuel that's sitting and going any length

274
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: of time. Uh you know, that's it's it's creating the problem.

275
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: So be aware of that. Um. Tom points out. He

276
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: says to me, Hey, Tom, just our Tom just texted

277
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: me said, hey, Ron, there's ethanol free wreck gas, recreational gas.

278
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: I guess that's recreational at Sunoco's and upstate New York.

279
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: And Tom would know that since uh he is the

280
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: long distance traveler around upstate New York. Say, well, that's uh,

281
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, I spent a lot of times up at

282
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: the Thousand Lakes areas. So you've got the St. Lawrence

283
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: River up there and all the different various lakes, and

284
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: people have boats and in this weather here winter, there's

285
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: snowmobiles and everything else. They just go over to the

286
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: Snoco station and fill up with the eth and all

287
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: free stuff. Were you upstate this week? Thankfully? No, I

288
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: heard it was. I heard it was zero up there.

289
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: I heard zero. Actually it was zero at my house

290
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: this morning. Oh, gosh, so I can't imagine what it

291
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: was an upstate New York. Well, I let's see the

292
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: other night it was eighteen degrees here, and I've got

293
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: a transmitter site up in Lake George on a three

294
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: thousand foothill and the temperature was reporting up there as minus. Wow.

295
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: Now look at the technology, you know, And this is

296
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: why I bring this up, right, we all, you know,

297
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: look at what we've come to expect from cars, and

298
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: we don't even think about it. And if you're an

299
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: older driver, okay, you know, go back twenty years ago

300
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: and think about if you were driving a used vehicle

301
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. So it likely was a ten year

302
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: old something with a carburetor on it, okay, And maybe

303
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: it was a fifteen year old something with a carburetor

304
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: on a carburetors of mconsin eight, I think. But my

305
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: point is, look at the look at the range of temperature.

306
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: You know, this week we went from I think the

307
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: beginning of the week here in New Jersey it was

308
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, forty something and then it dropped down at

309
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: the thirteen. It's it's nine degrees out there today. You know,

310
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure Upstate New York is zero at Tom's house

311
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: and it's it's probably below zero. Further up, look at

312
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: what we're asking cars to do in the range of

313
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: just did oil alone. Imagine that oil sitting out there

314
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: in the cold all night long, when you hear that

315
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: wind howling, and you go out there in the morning

316
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: after it's been sitting eight or ten hours since you

317
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: last drove it, you know, home from work or home

318
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: from wherever you came. And then you got and you

319
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: started think of the strain that's on that and why

320
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: it's so important for that car to have good, proper care.

321
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: And then you can't be surprised if you don't do

322
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: the maintenance when it breaks, although some of you are,

323
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: which kind of blows my mind. Um, you know, it's

324
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: it's I can't stress, you know, I can't stress maintenance enough,

325
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: more than more in the winter than in the summer.

326
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody likes to get stuck, and I stress

327
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: maintenance year round. But you know, getting stuck in a

328
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: snow drift, getting stuck when it's cold, getting stuck at work,

329
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: when the car doesn't start on a cold, dark night,

330
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, not good. Not not December January, February, March,

331
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: July you know, you pull the lawn chair out, you

332
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: get the barbecue out, you fire it up, and UH,

333
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: you cook something while you're waiting for the touch truck

334
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: to show up. And you're not gonna do that in

335
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: the winter months, So it's important. I'll give you an eye.

336
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: You an upstate New York. Uh, I think it was

337
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: two years ago. I went up there to change on

338
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: some satellite receivers between Christmas and UH and New Year's

339
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: and I went to bed that night at the hotel.

340
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: It was forty degrees outside and I got up the

341
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: next morning, Ron it was minus thirty. And that's how

342
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: much you dropped. My car actually started, you know, you

343
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: know Tom, and then you have to ask yourself as

344
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: a mechanic. One of the things we go through in

345
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: the shop is, you know, doing oil changes, what air

346
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: pressure do we put in tires? You know, the the

347
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: the climate and the environment changes so quickly you look

348
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: at the door placard. So we never look at you

349
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: never you never look at what's on the side of

350
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: the tire. As far as tire pressure, that is maximum

351
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: recommended tire pressure for the tire, not the vehicle, all right,

352
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: and you should have correct tire on the vehicle. You

353
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: don't want to have something that exceeds or under exceeds

354
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: spec as far as the requirement by the manufacturer. But

355
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: you look at the door jam stick and it will

356
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: show you the tire placard. If the tire placard says

357
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: they want thirty pounds in the tires of the car,

358
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: and that's the standard, they're doing that based on sixty

359
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: eight degrees. So you know, now you've got to think

360
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: ahead when you do the service. If you're doing the

361
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: service in September, you know, do you do it at thirty.

362
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: If you do it at thirty by December and he

363
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: may not be due for an oil change again by December,

364
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: that tire pressure may have dropped four pounds just by

365
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: loss of temperature. So you're always playing adding and subtracting,

366
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: and it gets to be a project. We still have

367
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: to check tire pressure on a regular basis. It's still

368
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: very important. I'm running any in the car, doctor, I'll

369
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: be back right after this. Don't go away. He's welcome

370
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: back around in any of the car. Doctor. Um. I

371
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: was thinking about, well and try not to post this stuff.

372
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: Did you see the article about Tesla and the autopilot case. Um,

373
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: it came out I think it was last year, and

374
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: now they're trying the person that was in the car

375
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 1: while the car was on autopilot, and they're holding that

376
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: person accountable for the function. They're saying, now, if you're

377
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: if you drive a car on autopilot. And we were

378
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: wondering where this was gonna go, right, we talked about this,

379
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: you and I over the years. You know, in that

380
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: where will the legal statutes take us when the first

381
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: vehicle on autopilot has an accident in a fatality. And

382
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: in this case, they're saying it was the operator's fault,

383
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: it was the person sitting in the seat of the vehicle.

384
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: And I think that's gonna set precedent and we'll see

385
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: where that goes going forward to the article then goes

386
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: on to talk about some of the flaws in the

387
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: Tesla systems, and you know, some of the other issue

388
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: is that they're concerned about. And I didn't post it

389
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: to Facebook because I know it's going to generate a

390
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: whole bunch of we're gonna go back and forth and

391
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: back and forth. I figured I just mentioned it up

392
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: here on the show. I'm trying not to become the

393
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: anti electric car doctor because I'm not. I'm just trying

394
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: to present the facts I really am. And then I

395
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: came across this article um on. We look at this

396
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: website called Gizmoto g I g I z m odo

397
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: gizmoto dot com and it talks about a teen researcher

398
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: claims he can remotely access twenty five teslas around the

399
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: globe without the owners knowing it. This article came out

400
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: January twelve of this year, and it talks about um

401
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: It starts out this way. Imagine you're driving down the

402
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: road in a new Tesla with your legs stretched out

403
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: as the autopilot maintains your speed. When the car stereo started,

404
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: he starts blasting at full force. During your scramble to

405
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 1: pull over, you notice your windows start lowering, as if

406
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: controlled by a ghost. Then out of nowhere, the door

407
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: springs open. Those are just some of the high stakes

408
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: high jinks. A nineteen year old researcher says he can

409
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: pull after remotely hacking into at least twenty five testas

410
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: spread out over across their team countries. The researcher, named

411
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: David Colombo, posted details via Twitter threat on Tuesday. Um,

412
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: are we concerned about that? Uh? You know, in the

413
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: sense I remember when the two hackers got into the

414
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: jeep Cherokees back in and within the year we now

415
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: change the way scan tools function in the repair shop

416
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: and we now have to on Chrysler, we have to

417
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: access the cloud. The cloud has to recognize the scan tool.

418
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: There has to be a security handshake between the two

419
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: in order to accurately diagnose and repair. But this this

420
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: kind of goes one step further, and you know, at

421
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: what point, you know, at what point does it become

422
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: a national security issue? All right? Um? You know, the

423
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: more involved we get with computers on cars, the more

424
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: this stuff is gonna happen, and then it sets up

425
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: a whole another level of security requirement that it just

426
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: becomes issue. So I just it's an interesting article. Um.

427
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: He didn't provide specific details that goes on to say

428
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: and how he obtained access to the vehicle system, but

429
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: noted it wasn't the result of a vulnerability and testla's

430
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: underlying infrastructure, the researcher claimed. David Colombo claimed he was

431
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: actually trying to notify the owners of the effective vehicles

432
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: and that he would release more technical details once the

433
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: effected drivers were able to take appropriate measures. So it

434
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: sounds like this is gonna be an ongoing story that

435
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: this person has found a loophole in the security structure

436
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: of the way Tesla's are put together. And um, you

437
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: wonder if the other electric vehicles can be far behind.

438
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: And then we got this article, uh curtsy at GM

439
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: UM that talked about how GM and I forget who

440
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: we were talking to recently within the last two months,

441
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: that brought up the point that, you know, Tesla really

442
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: has dominated the market. I think it was Mark Mills

443
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 1: from the Manhattan Institute, and he was right. You know,

444
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: Tesla has dominant added portions of the electric vehicle market

445
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: with their luxury vehicles. But you have to start to

446
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: think that when a company the size of a GM

447
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: or Ford or Toyota, you know, the bigger companies get

448
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: into the electric vehicle market, they're gonna start to pull

449
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: away from Tesla. Well, GM plans for electric vehicle charging. Uh.

450
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: This article comes to us UM from the car buzz

451
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: dot com website that talks about how GM is now

452
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: going to start creating UM mobile and fixed power stations.

453
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: And I was wondering how they were going to do this.

454
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: They're they're developing some sort of a mobile power station

455
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: so that when you're stuck on the road. And we

456
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: talked about this right when the winter storm occurred in

457
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: Virginia a couple of weeks ago and was bottleneck for

458
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: that twenty six miles or however long it was. We said,

459
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: how would you get the electric vehicle out of there?

460
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: Would have to be towed, you know, how would you

461
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: maintain you know, at the time, we said, you can't

462
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: bring an electric vehicle own or five gallons of electrons

463
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: to you know, get the car started again. You know,

464
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: how would you how would you develop this to you

465
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: get that car out of their imagine having to tow

466
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: all these electric vehicles. Well, GM is developing some sort

467
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: of mobile power station that will bring electricity to the vehicles. UM,

468
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting. The goal is uh. The automaker

469
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: has announced plans to accelerate its market presence with its

470
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: new hydrotech based mobile and fixed power stations. Aside from

471
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: electric vehicles, these state of the art generators are attended

472
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: for work sites, data centers, and even military support h

473
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: The generators will all be powered by GMS generation to

474
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: hydrotech fuel cell cubes, the goals for them to replace

475
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: gas and diesel burning powered sources. So uh I caught

476
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: the jackets the the the military mentioned in there. So um.

477
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: The aim is to produce a generator capable of fast

478
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: charging electric vehicles without having to expand the electrical grid

479
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: or even install permanent charging stations and remote areas. Sometimes

480
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: power sources are only needed on a temporary basis. Both

481
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: the USR and B Combat Capabilities Command Ground Vehicle System

482
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: Center in the Michigan Economic Development Corporation are helping fund

483
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: these programs. So uh, I guess the military is going electric.

484
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: Two UM. You know that's got to be interesting conversation

485
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: we should have. We should have a talk with somebody

486
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: there as well. But lots of changes coming in the

487
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: world of electric vehicles. Let's pull over and take a pause.

488
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,239
Speaker 1: A five five five zero zero rnon nating the car

489
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: doctor will be back right after this. Don't go away,

490
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: welcome back. Run naming the car doctor. Phone number. By

491
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: the way, it's eight five five five zero nine zero zero.

492
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: You can call that number anytime, day or seven, it

493
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, right. You can call eight five five five

494
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: zero nine zero and leave a message or understand this

495
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: radio show being is as it's syndicated Um goes around

496
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: the country and around the world via podcast. You can

497
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: you can call the eight five five five six zero

498
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: nine zero zero phone number, say Saturday's we're we're live

499
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: in the studio Saturday's two to four pm Eastern time,

500
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: and you know, we can talk about your car and

501
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: it's problems, so you don't have to have me live

502
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 1: in your market per se um. You know, as we

503
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: as we try to motor on and fix all of

504
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: these broken cars, I was thinking, you know, about this

505
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: week in the shop, how busy the shop was, and

506
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: some of the repairs that we've done. And I always

507
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: like to do that from time to time. It kind

508
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: of gives me a barometer of well, the state of

509
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: mind of the economy, your state of mind, what you're

510
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: thinking about with your vehicles. And I think that you

511
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: the consumer and how you treat your vehicle and what

512
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: you're willing to do to take care of it versus

513
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: replacing it is a pretty good sign of you know

514
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: a lot of things, faith in the economy, confidence in

515
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: the world situation, the supply of replacement vehicles, the price

516
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: of replacement vehicles. You know, all of that plays a

517
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: factor into you deciding whether or not you want to

518
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: fix your car or not. We had a couple of

519
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: big repairs in the last four or five weeks um.

520
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: Most recently we did a two thousand eleven Toyota Sienna,

521
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: a two thousand eleven Sienna that needed front lower control alarms,

522
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: rear break overhaul, a drive axle, and a couple other

523
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: odds and ends, and it went out the door for

524
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: about four grand. And you know, here's a here's a

525
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: an eleven year old vehicle with a hundred fifteen thousand

526
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: miles on it. And as Matthew said to me, said wrong,

527
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: we want to drive this car another four or five years,

528
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: and we're not afraid to put a little money in

529
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: it because look at what it costs to replace it.

530
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: And I think you are all getting quite an education

531
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: in the cost of a replacement vehicle. And that's really

532
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: what this portion of the car doctors about. I've really

533
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: started to look at what replacement vehicles cost. Unless you're

534
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: driving a pregnant roller skate. There aren't a lot of

535
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: cars to put a family of four and for under

536
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: thirty five tho dollars anymore, not comfortably, not with groceries,

537
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: not to go on vacation, with not to go to

538
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: the relatives over the holidays, with not to put more

539
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: than four people, and it gets harder and harder. There's

540
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: not a lot out there. Afford Explorer is fifty almost

541
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: sixty thou dollars a Chevy suburban. Heck, you can start

542
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: out at seventy five grand. Seventy five thousand dollars. Somebody

543
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: was telling me the other day a friend of there

544
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: is brought a Chevy suburban optioned out it was a

545
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: hundred and three grand. I don't know that to be true.

546
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: I said, but what could you what what could possibly

547
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: make it worth a hundred and three thousand dollars? That's crazy.

548
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: Here's my point. This is what I've been thinking about

549
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: this for a while, and I wanted to present that.

550
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: I did some research this week, so certain parts of

551
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: the country don't seem to have vehicles, and I thought

552
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: this idea was so brilliant. It's not mine. I got

553
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: this from somebody. Um, they pointed it out, they said

554
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: it to me, and they didn't even realize they had

555
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: said it. If you're looking for a vehicle, if you

556
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: are trying to replace your vehicle, and you know, you're

557
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: looking for some thing different. And where you live, like

558
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: here in New Jersey, you know, if you want to

559
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: go out and buy a vehicle, they're charging you list

560
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: price because of conditions. There's no vehicles out there. They're

561
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: charging you list price plus. Some of the dealerships, not

562
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: all the dealerships are rating anywhere from three to five

563
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. And they're calling it a market a state

564
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: of the market indicator. They've got some fancy term. They've

565
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: created all sorts of different nomenclatures in ways to title it,

566
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: but they're basically trying to add three to five grant

567
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: to the price of the car on top of list.

568
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: You know, if you go to the Midwest, if you

569
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: go to the middle of the country, and I tried this.

570
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: I went looking for a Chevy pickup in the Tri

571
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: state area. I can't really find anything, couldn't find what

572
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: I wanted, limited supply, limited selection, and I went to Kansas.

573
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: I just typed in Chevy dealers Kansas, and I think

574
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: it was Marty McClay Chevrolet or something McAuley Chevrolet. UM,

575
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: some dealer group down there. UM they had they had

576
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: forty three different model Chevy pickup trucks. No mention of

577
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: you know, market demand or market indicator of searcharge, uh

578
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: so to speak. And I thought, geez, you know, you

579
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: could go down to the Midwest. You could buy the

580
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: car of the vehicle, the truck you want and either

581
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: drive it back or have it trucked back for either

582
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: less than the searcharge or probably the cost of the searcharge.

583
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: But at least you get the vehicle you want. Um,

584
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: which just you know, maybe we've got to start thinking

585
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: outside the box. If you're looking for a new vehicle,

586
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: and you know some of you are and some of

587
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: you aren't, but if you're looking for a view vehicle

588
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: and your local dealer does not have it, maybe you

589
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: need to, you know, get online and start looking and

590
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: maybe your local dealer will go to Virginia or Kansas

591
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: or wherever to procure that vehicle anding it to their

592
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,479
Speaker 1: dealership to sell it. Maybe there's ways to do that.

593
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. Uh, the vehicle situation is getting really

594
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: tightened crazy out there. And somebody said that to me

595
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: this week, that they went to Kansas and purchased a

596
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: new vehicle and they paid a little bit less than

597
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: sticker and there was no searcharge and they drove it back.

598
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: I think it was a trip and as as she said, Hey,

599
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: what better way to break in the vehicle at a

600
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: nice steady speed out on the interstate and make a

601
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: little bit of a road trip out of it? And

602
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, why not talk about the

603
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: ultimate h you know, social distancing? Right, you're learning your

604
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: own vehicle for eighteen miles. I kind of like that idea.

605
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: So just just food for thought. Eight five five zero zero,

606
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: runing any of the car doctor? Coming back right after this?

607
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 1: Don't go away? Welcome back, run any in the car doctor.

608
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: Let's let's go to Barry in Virginia Beach has a

609
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: quick dealer story. So what's on your mind? Barry? How

610
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: can I help? Hey, good afternoon, sir. I just want

611
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: to do share something with you. This is kind of

612
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: an interesting, very unconventional story friend of mine. She has

613
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: I believe it's a two thousand seventeen out Q five

614
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: and she keeps to having to add anti freeze to it,

615
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: but it's not linked anywhere, and it smells. I said,

616
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: what's probably happening is you got to crack in the

617
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: block and it's burning it. Sure enough, I was right.

618
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: She has a toe to a checkered flag dealership. They

619
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: disassembled the entire engine, I mean nuts, bolts, washers, valves, lifters, everything,

620
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: and put everything in the back seat and then the

621
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: last part where the storgery is, and then say they

622
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: can't fix it and charge her four thousand dollars. What

623
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: do you think about that? Well, wall, back up, back

624
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: up the truck. Here a minute. This is seventeen. This

625
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: vehicle is only four years old, right, how many miles

626
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: are on it? Five years old? How many miles are

627
00:32:53,560 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: on it? Uh, thirty thousand something like that? What did

628
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: she authorize them to do it? In a roundabout naive

629
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: way without knowledge of knowing what she was doing? Just

630
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: fix it? Right? Did she? What did she sign? She

631
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: had to sign something? She had to sign an authorization

632
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: to repair? Right? Um? If not? If not? You know,

633
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: And this is a This is a perfect close to

634
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: the show this week, Barry, because I opened the show

635
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: of the previous hour with the Segway talking about do

636
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,239
Speaker 1: you set yourself up to fail with your mechanic? You know,

637
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: she needs to sign a piece of paper saying she's

638
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: willing to spend X on a diagnosis and they need

639
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: to have her sign something, so they need to know

640
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: what to do, otherwise they take carte blanches. She really

641
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: walked in. You know, the worst thing in the world

642
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: to say to any mechanic, this mechanic, any mechanic, is

643
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: do whatever you gotta do. I don't care what it costs,

644
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: because I've done that when I was younger, I did that.

645
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: You know what people got annoyed? Well, you said do

646
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: whatever it takes. This is what it took. Well, I

647
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: had no idea. Then what did you say it for?

648
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: I didn't think it would be that much. You know

649
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: everybody's perception. So you know, did she sign anything? Did

650
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: she sign something? You know? Was it a regular Auti

651
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: dealership or was it an independent chain of repair? It

652
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: was not a deal It was a regular It was

653
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: the most repertable Auti dealership in Virginia Beach and very

654
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: nice people that worked there. And are they able to

655
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: fix it? No? They left there on a flat dead

656
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 1: record with every every nut, bosher, washer, bolt, valve, spring

657
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: lift or everything in disarray in the back seat. And

658
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: what was the diagnosis? What did it what did it

659
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: need a new engine? Yeah? And what do they say

660
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: that would cost um? I think she bought one from

661
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: a place outside of Durham, North Carolina. It called Life

662
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: tron Auty. They had a shipped here and I want

663
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: to say around seven seven grand. Yeah, so she's put

664
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: and now she tells us to have it put in

665
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: the car right right, and then and then on top

666
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: of this, uh cause breaks the engine the installment of

667
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: the engine. So she's gonna end up putting about fifteen

668
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: into a car that I don't think it's worked by. Well,

669
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: you know, there's the replacement factor. But the problem here becomes,

670
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, what kind of shape is this car really in?

671
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: Or how did this car get into such condition? Is

672
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: she the original owner? And good lord, what happens if

673
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: the transmission fails? A lot of questions. She needs more answers,

674
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: get her to start signing things before she just gives

675
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: car Blanche at the repair shop. Appreciate the story, Barry.

676
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: I'm not on any of the car doctor looking up

677
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: saying time to go until the next time. Good mechanics

678
00:35:46,160 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you six s
