Let's 52 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: go talk to Matt Good of the Prism Solar Car project. 53 00:02:51,800 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: He comes, and they're better be sun right, Matt, Matt Good, 54 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: Prism solom Prism Solar Car Project from Iowa State University. Matt, 55 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: welcome back to the car doctor sir, Hey, thank you 56 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: very much for having me back. So what happens on 57 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: what happens on rainy cloudy days? Does the car run? 58 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: How does that work? Yeah? So, uh, inside of vehicle, 59 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: we have a listing Moon battery pack and it's basically 60 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: the same batteries that Susy uses in their models and 61 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: now the Models three. So we're actually apen to go 62 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: about a hundred eighty miles just on our battery pack alone. 63 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: Then we have the solar cells on top of the car, 64 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: which when you do an assist so like it's kind 65 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: of like a hybrid where once you run out of 66 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, batteries, you have your gas engine that charges you. 67 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: Well as you're driving around on the sunny day, your 68 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: solar cells can run your car and once that sun 69 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: goes down, you have a hundred eighty miles at the 70 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: end of the day. So, uh, it's kind of like 71 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: the solar assisted vehicle. It's how we like to put it. 72 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: So what happens when you're out of batteries and out 73 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: of sun. We have ah, well you might say a 74 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: couple of words, but uh that we have a charging 75 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: port on the side of the car which allows you 76 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: to plug into any e V charging port throughout the nation. 77 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: So had a lot of grocery stores and stuff like 78 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: that you're starting the e V charging ports be uh 79 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: installed near the stores, and we made a plug that 80 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: adaptable to those plugs nationwide. So if you want to 81 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: go on a road trip, just pull into one of 82 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: those grocery stores or a lot of hotels have them nowadays. 83 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: That allows you to charge up at the end of 84 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,239 Speaker 1: the day, then you can start driving tomorrow the next morning. 85 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: So are these the same charging ports because you said 86 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: Tesla mentioned Tesla that Tesla uses, so it's not the 87 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: same that Tesla is using. Testla the slightly different charging 88 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: ports than a lot of other electric vehicles. So the 89 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: Chevy Bolt, the Nissan Leaf, uh, and those kind of 90 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: electric vehicles are all using an s a E standard 91 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: electric charging port, and then the Tesla ports slightly different. 92 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: So we decided to go with the SAE standard and 93 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: that way it's more acceptable over a wider range of vehicles. 94 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: Now on your web page on the prison, I'm looking 95 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: at prism dot org. I've got it up in front 96 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: of me. Is that the car in front of all 97 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: of you? Um uh, let's be what if it looks 98 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: like a kind of a pont team boat, white with 99 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: some streaks down the side. That's the new car number. 100 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: If you go to projects and then you click on 101 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: the number of page, you can definitely see a couple 102 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: more photos there. All right, so you know there's a 103 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: P twelve, a P eleven, a P ten um, which 104 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: one is the current car? P fourteen? Oh, okay, we're 105 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: past all that all right? So, um, why the different 106 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: versions of cars? Matt? What do you guys? You know 107 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: what you're changing something, You're you're finding out information and 108 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: moving it forward. What are the changes that spur the 109 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: redevelopment of another car? Sure? So for the past twenty 110 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: eight years, prisons them building one see cars and racing 111 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: them based on efficiency. So how fast can you get 112 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: from point A to point B just using how are 113 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: the sun? So the cars have been very aerodynamics, very lightweight, 114 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: but they weren't practical. So with P four team, we 115 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: built the world's first solar utility vehicle. So this is 116 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: the four seat car. You have cup holders, wireless charging 117 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: for cell phones, you have the plug in capability just 118 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: in case the sun goes down. Yet, you have a 119 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: rear hatch to haul around groceries. You can go to 120 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: the grocery store with this car. And we just tried 121 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: to make a regular car and uh with this you 122 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: also have to make it lightweight, so we constructed out 123 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: of carbon fiber. You have to make it very efficient, 124 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: so we try to use the most efficient motors batteries 125 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: available and to really prove it, it's going to race 126 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: across the continent. Of Australia this fall. Yeah, we're actually 127 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: due to talk to you from Australia. I think we've 128 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: got you scheduled for that sou in October this year, 129 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: from October eighth to fifteenth, we're gonna be raised in 130 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: what's called the World Solar Challenge. So it's across continental 131 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,239 Speaker 1: race from the North coast Australia to the South coast, 132 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: and it's defined kind of what nation, you know, and 133 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: what what collegiate university from throughout the globe is really 134 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: trying to pioneer that next step of automotive technology. So 135 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: we'll be racing from university throughout the globe that have 136 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: all tried to create vehicles that have more than one 137 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: feet and are powered off of the sun. You know, 138 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: we've had this conversation before that what you're doing is 139 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: is changing the world. And that's that's got to leave 140 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: all of you with some definite emotions every day, right 141 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: because you know, this isn't this, this is real, This 142 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: isn't science fiction. You guys are really creating this. The 143 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: So when we first talked, we were going on the 144 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,119 Speaker 1: county tour the state of Iowa, and that was probably 145 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: one of the coolest things kind of emotionally for me 146 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: because we went to these small counties that were in Iowa, 147 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: you know, and the whole county has maybe ten thousand 148 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: people in it. And then you meet these kids that, uh, 149 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: they take a look at this car and they sir, 150 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: you know, they believe that this is the future of 151 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: transportation and they think when they grow up that they're 152 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: going to drive a car that runs off the sun. 153 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: So that has just been remarkable because now we have 154 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: we have people that want to buy these cars. So 155 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: now it's time to start make up right, Yeah, sure, absolutely. 156 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the picture of the current the four 157 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: door project, the P fourteen. You know, are those doors 158 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: painted on or do they actually open? Oh? They actually open. 159 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: So we've got four doors. Plus we have the rear hatch. 160 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: Those are working headlights in the front. You know. We're 161 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: street legal, we're certified in the United States and drive 162 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: on regular roads. We take it up the highway speeds. 163 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 1: We got a top speed of seventy two miles, so 164 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: it's fast enough to get a speeding ticket here in Iowa. 165 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: So that's what we were worried about, you know, and 166 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: we just tried to make it like a regular car 167 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: that can get your point at a point B. You know, 168 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: if you got to take the kids to soccer game, 169 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: you got plenty of feets in the car. If you 170 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: want to get a cold drink of the convenience story, 171 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: you got cup folders and put it in and we 172 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: got you know, JBL speakers on the inside you can 173 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: jam out while you're driving around. So what do you 174 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: what do you think this car would cost them? Production? 175 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: Hard to say right now? Right well, so um, because 176 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: this is the first car. We had a lot of 177 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: costs in relationships, making the tooling. But if we want 178 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: into production to be about it five to car um 179 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: kind of depending on how our manufacturing would go about. 180 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: We're using you know, carbon fiber, most efficient batteries and 181 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 1: stuff like that. So that does cost a little bit 182 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: more than say what you know you'll find in like 183 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: a Forward or a GM today. You know what's gonna happen. 184 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: You guys are gonna create this. I mean you've created it, 185 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: not that you're going to You're gonna create this and 186 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: drive the price of gasoline down to under a bucket 187 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: gallon because I want to argue too much. Well, and 188 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: you know, because the gas companies are gonna sit there 189 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: and say this is gonna put them and it is. 190 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: It's gonna it's gonna change. You know, you've got to 191 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: realize the dynamics. And I've said this about Tesla. You 192 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: look at what Tesla is doing. You know, if they 193 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: can get the the the electric car sorted out, if 194 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: you can get the solar cars sorted out to make 195 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: it a mass production vehicle per se, you're gonna change 196 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: so much. You're gonna you know, you're gonna take the 197 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: Middle East out of the equation as far as the 198 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: politics and and and the value to the world in 199 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: terms of the supply of oil. And I think that's 200 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: really exciting, you know when you think about it. And 201 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: and the coolest thing too is you know this this 202 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: innovation is coming right here from the United States, and 203 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: it's coming from from the Midwest for US, you know, 204 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: so right in the heartland. So I think it's just 205 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: it's just a really cool thing that's occurring. Tell me 206 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: about the three m test track. You guys were at 207 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: at three at the three m track this week or 208 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, which would you learn there? 209 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: So we were doing a lot of testing to kind 210 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: of see what kind of energy consumption the car was 211 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: using to drive around. So kind of a fun fact, 212 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: we're using the same amount of energy as an electric 213 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: hair dryer to go forty five. So when people are 214 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: drying their hair in the morning with the electric hair dryer, 215 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,080 Speaker 1: I was driving around a track at forty five. So 216 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: that's that kind of shows you how little power this 217 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: car uses to get down the road. Tom Tom can't 218 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: relate to that, he hasn't been to a barber in 219 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: a couple of years. But um, can you do you 220 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: do you learn when you go to the track? I mean, 221 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: can you tweak it and get it down to you know, 222 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: less than or is this just simply to measure what's 223 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: being consumed. So we are tweaking too. So a couple 224 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: of things that we're testing our different hire pressures in 225 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: this hire, different suspension heights. So the higher you lift 226 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: your car off the ground, you have less of what's 227 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: called ground effects for the aerodynamics between your car and 228 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: the road itself. But the higher you go up, you 229 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: also have more aerodynamic drag caused by your wheel spinning. 230 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: So it's a tradeoff. So we're we're out there kind 231 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: of doing different runs at different dynamic setups, different suspension 232 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: set up and then different powers consumptions and just seeing 233 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: which ones are going to be most efficient when we 234 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: raise in Australia and also just testing a car. You know, 235 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: the car is only about two months old, so every 236 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: new car has issues, so we're running into wiring issues. 237 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 1: We're running into some fit and finish issues. So we're 238 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: finding here before we're trapped in the middle of the 239 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: Australian outback, hundreds of violence to the closest town and 240 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: need to make a spare component. We'd rather catch that 241 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: here than down there. Well, you just just remember what 242 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: news stands for. Do you know what news stands for? Meant? 243 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: I do not know, never ever worked, So I I 244 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: give that to you and the team to keep in 245 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: the back of your heads in that um you know, 246 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: you don't want to find out the hard way what 247 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: news stands where As you say, out in the outback, Matt, 248 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: my last minute, tell me about the Ford win tunnel upcoming. Yeah, 249 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: So this next Friday we're gonna be as Ford headquarters 250 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: in their wind tunnels doing some win tunnel test team. 251 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: So we're gonna see how much aerodynamic drag this car has. 252 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: And then we'll also get to compared to the models 253 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: that we ran on computers, see how accurate our manufacturing was. 254 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: And then from there we can make a strategy for 255 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: how to race across the continent of Australia. So hoping 256 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: to really get some great numbers there. And also, you know, 257 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 1: meet some very interesting people. Oh, I'm sure you will. 258 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're looking forward to me and each and 259 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: every one of you. Listen, Matt, my best to you 260 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: the team. I wish you guys all the best and 261 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: all the good luck in the world. You you call us, 262 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna hook up with you when you're out in 263 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: Australia and I look forward to that conversation. Have fun 264 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: at forward next week and we'll be thanking You'll be 265 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 1: thinking of you.

If 269 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: you want to find out more about the solar car 270 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: from the gang over at the Iowa State University. I'm 271 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: Ron Adian, the car doctor. We are coming back right 272 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: after this, welcome back the car doctor at the helmate 273 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: five five five zero nine nine zero zero. Let's get 274 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: over and talk to Chuck in Texas. Charles, Welcome to 275 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: the car Doctor. How can I help? Yes, Ron, thank 276 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: you for taking my call. I really appreciate it. They listen. 277 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: About four or five weeks ago, I guess my calendar 278 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: is not that great, but I called in and question 279 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 1: about as I researched about putting in a performance tip 280 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: to modifying hands or do things to my f F 281 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: one fifty two thousand, nine five point four. I got 282 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: lucky that day because you said you got something, you know, 283 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: promotional you and you gave it to me, and let 284 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: me tell you. I look, I was excited. It took 285 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: about a week to get or so. And then when 286 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: I you loaded on the computer the USB, it checks 287 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: and if any updates have to happen, I was good 288 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: to go. So then I put it in the truck 289 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: and it took about a half an hour. And what 290 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: a diagnoses is your original setting to the OBC. Once 291 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: that was done, then I could put in and said 292 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: it as I wanted to. And I first tried economy. 293 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: They let me tell you my gas MODU was from 294 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: fourteen point two up to nineteen miles a gallon. This 295 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: product is fantastic. You're talking about that, You're talking about 296 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: the dash pack. Yes, sir. Now, what what I noticed 297 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: initially that I knew it took was my shift pattern changed. 298 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: The second gear came a little bit quicker, and third 299 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: did by by follow. But wow, I watched my you know, 300 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: myles burgall on the computer just start counting up, counting up, 301 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: counting up. I was so impressed. I'm excited to go 302 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: and try extreme. I mean, this product is fantastic for 303 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: anybody of your listening viewers that want to purchase this 304 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: such a thing. It is worth the money. It is 305 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: fantastic product. We made you a spokesman. Oh no, I'm 306 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: telling you listen, this thing is the cats me out. 307 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: It truly is. And it's right there. And I'm a 308 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: needle guy, Okay, I don't like digital stuff. I like needles. 309 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: I like to watch needles. And said that how do 310 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: you want? How you want to? Not only that, if 311 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: you ever have a trouble coat in your computer, it'll 312 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: tell you what it is. It can do parameters such 313 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: as your tech brand, your your ship levels, and just 314 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: it's a fantastic product. And I understand through my little 315 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: research with super chips, they are the like the entrepreneur 316 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: and the the foundation of such a product, and they are. 317 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: And you know, Chuck, I knew in talking to you 318 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: that day we were having a conversation about spark plugs, 319 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: I believe, and how they come out. And you know, 320 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: we've talked a couple of times on air, and I've 321 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: always thought you were that technical guy that would enjoy 322 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: something like that. But it's also for the non technical 323 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: person because you exactly you can take that, lay it 324 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: up on the dashboard and tune the engine from the 325 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:56,119 Speaker 1: driver's seat, which is really which is really to me staggering. 326 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: You know, I go back to the old days leaning 327 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: over a fender and listening to how it ran, and 328 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: you know, looking down the throat of the car breator 329 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: watching how the fuel's coming through and uh, you know, 330 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: making making adjustments and tweaking and modifying and yeah, you're 331 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: doing all that. You're doing all that from the driver's 332 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: seat now, and that's just awesome. And I just can't 333 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: believe it is simple to use, but the parameters of 334 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: game are just phenomenal out the roof fantastic prominence.

So but anyway, let's go and talk to 377 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: Barbara in Florida nine buick some oil questions. Barbara, welcome 378 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: to the car doctor. How can I help? Yes, I 379 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: have the less so I'll change. I got with synthetic oil. Okay. 380 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: And somebody told me I shouldn't have done that because 381 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: I always choose Regal before that. That's that's that's a myth. 382 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: Let me let me let me ask you something. This 383 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: eight eighty nine buick that you've got, Um, how many 384 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: miles are on at Barbara? All right? And you know 385 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: obviously you're still driving it. Do you drive it every day? 386 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: Do you you know how many miles? How many miles 387 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: a year? Do you go? Do you think ten thousand, 388 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: fifteen thousand? Okay? So if you're using synthetic and the 389 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: advantage to synthetic oil is that it resists breakdown to 390 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: a higher degree. So you know, there's conventional oil, there's 391 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 1: synthetic oil. Synthetic oil is man made. Synthetic oil is 392 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: you know, if we think of chicken soup, and you know, 393 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: the chicken soup is as good as the editors that 394 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: are put in it. The conventional oil starts with a 395 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: chicken soup based stock, just like the synthetic. But the 396 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: synthetic is a better base. It's it's made from better 397 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 1: and green aiants and then the vitamins that they put 398 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: in that or the vegetables and and and additives that 399 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: they put into that. Synthetic oil is a better quality 400 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: and a better better, you know, mix of of vitamins 401 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: for the engine. That being said, synthetic oil can go 402 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: longer in between oil changes. All right. Now you're gonna 403 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna pay a little bit more for synthetic, but 404 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: I think you're getting a lot more. All right. You know, 405 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 1: you can switch from synthetic back to conventional and vice 406 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: versa as much or as little as you want. There 407 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: is no proven scientific fact or data that says it's 408 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: harmful in this day and age. All right. I am 409 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: a big fan of synthetic. I am a big fan 410 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,719 Speaker 1: of Pen's Oil. If you it's it's no secret if 411 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: you get out to the Penn's Oil website and start 412 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: to look at some of their synthetics and some of 413 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: the things they're doing Penn's Oil Synthetics dot Com and 414 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: start looking at their line of oils, their ultras and 415 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: so forth. One of the one of the knee things 416 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: that Penn's Oil has done, And I had a chance 417 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: a few years back. I was at a media event 418 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: for Penn's Oil in New York City and I got 419 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: to talk to the actual engineers that designed it. They 420 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: actually make their base stock. They make their chicken soup 421 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: from a natural gas derivative, so it's starts with an 422 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: even cleaner based stock. It's probably the best way I 423 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: could say it is it's the best chicken soup on 424 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: the market, alright. It's it's what Mom would have you 425 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,479 Speaker 1: make chicken soup from to get you better. And the 426 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: idea being that the better based stock, the cleaner based 427 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: stock you start from, the cleaner the oil stays longer, 428 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: and the less it breaks down and you know, creates 429 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: engine wear issues. So they really do have the best 430 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: stuff on the planet. You can read more at their 431 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: website penns Oil Synthetics dot com. But you know, the 432 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: the advantage here is that even if you choose to 433 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: change the oil every three or four thousand miles instead 434 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: of every five to six, you're still getting the best 435 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: protection you can. You can go longer on time, shorter 436 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: on mileage, a little longer on mileage, shorter on time, 437 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. It gives you more options to 438 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: play with because here's the catch. You're spending a little 439 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: bit more on oil changes, but you're getting better protection. 440 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: And I think at this point in the game, you're 441 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: not driving an eighty nine Buick because you know, you 442 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: just want to write you enjoy the car, am I correct, Yeah, 443 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: you enjoy the car. Um, Nobody keeps nights. It's thirty 444 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 1: years old. Nobody keeps you. Nobody keeps a thirty year 445 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: old car because you know it's I mean, I gotta 446 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: tell you the tire story. You brought it up. Um. 447 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: We had a customer this week, eighty eight Lincoln town 448 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: car that they wanted white walls. Can't get white wolves 449 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: for it anymore. And you know that nobody nobody makes 450 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: a white wall tire in this person's size. I think 451 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: it was a two fifteen seventy fifteen. Nobody makes a 452 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: white wall for it. We had to put black walls 453 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: on it. And you know, it's get tougher to get 454 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: tires for cars of that vintage. Uh Coker tire comes 455 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: to mind. But then you're dealing with their private label 456 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: stuff and I'm not sure where it's made, and you're 457 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: losing the competitive edge in my opinion, of being able 458 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 1: to pick and choose a quality tire like a General 459 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: Tire UH for that vehicle. UM, you may want to 460 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: check with General Tire just for the argument of it, uh, 461 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: just so that you'll feel better. You get out the 462 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: General Tire dot Com. See with their website offers.

You 464 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: may find something there, but you know that's that's that's 465 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,239 Speaker 1: gonna be the problem in that finding parts for it 466 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: is going to get to be more difficult, So enjoy 467 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: it while you can. You may want to buy a 468 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: parts car and you know, be a two car family 469 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: and have one for spare parts that you can pick 470 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 1: parts off of depending upon what you need in the 471 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: future going forward.

You're very welcome, Barbara, you too, 473 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: thanks for being part of the Car Doctor family. Zero zero. 474 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: Let's go over and talk to Charlie in New York 475 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: Probe and see what's going on here. Charlie, welcome to 476 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: the Car Doctor, sir. What's going on? Uh? I have 477 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: a ninety seven for Probe GT. I had the valve 478 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: cover gasket replaced last fall um in October. I probably 479 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: didn't drive the car more than six of the under miles. 480 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 1: And when I put it back on the road this spring, 481 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: I I still could smell a little bit of oil, 482 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: and then I noticed that it was leaking a little bit. 483 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: So I took it back to the garage and did 484 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: the work, and they checked it over and they discovered 485 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: that the bolts needed to be torn down just a 486 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: little bit more. He said, drive keep an eye on it. 487 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: And I've noticed that it is starting to seat just 488 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: a little bit on one side. I just wondered if 489 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: if maybe the gaskets that that I think they use 490 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: O M gasket. Uh. I wondered if if if there 491 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: was any finnicky things that could go on with that. 492 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: He said something about there was drama down in there, 493 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: down in there that I had to get seated and 494 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: stuff like that. I just wondered, No, you know what, 495 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: that's a that's pretty much a clear cut, you know job. 496 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: It's valve covers off, you know, gaskets on whether it's 497 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: an oh WE or a good quality after market a 498 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: fell Pro or something, and you know, torque the bolts 499 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: to spec it's it's gonna be an inch pound torque rating. 500 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: I might put a dab of liquid teflon on the 501 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: threads of the bolt. I like liquid teflon for a 502 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: lot of reasons. It's a good sealer. It's also a 503 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: good thread locker, and it's a it's a mild thread locker, 504 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: all right. You know they put a drop of lock 505 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: tight into every little bottle of liquid teflon. And the 506 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: nice thing is, you know, once you hand tork at 507 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,479 Speaker 1: the spec it's not gonna let the bolt loosen up. 508 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: And I suspect the bolts are loosening up and that's 509 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: why it's leaking. And I think the shop is looking 510 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: at it wrong. You know, those gaskets, there's no mystery here. 511 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 1: They sit in a channel, grooving the cover they go on. 512 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: That's kind of it. Uh. You know, if the bolts 513 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 1: keep loosening up, then I think a dab of thread locker. 514 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: Or perhaps they did something wrong when they laid the 515 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: gaskets in the trough and maybe that's part of the problem. Okay, 516 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: I've always used synthetic island. It was a Wicks filter 517 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: and uh overtime. You know, it's twenty years old. So right, Yeah, 518 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: anything will break down, sure, absolutely. Um, listen, you gotta 519 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: look at it like this, using the synthetic and a 520 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: Wicks filter is what's got your driving the car twenty 521 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: years later. Yeah, I only put five six miles on 522 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: a year, and I only drove it like six since 523 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: they replaced the gaskets, right, And that's you know, that's 524 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: not enough. There there there, there's something else going on here, Charlie. 525 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: They've got to they've got to do the right thing 526 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: and go back and look at it. And I think 527 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: you you know, has this been your regular mechanic for 528 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: a while, you know, So it's it's it's it's time 529 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: to you know, I just said this to somebody this morning. 530 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: We were talking about fixing cars and relationships, and I said, 531 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: you know, auto repair emulates life in the sense that 532 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 1: it's not about when the relationship is going well, it's 533 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,479 Speaker 1: about when the relationship is on the rocks, who steps 534 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: up to the plate and answers the belf of the 535 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: round and you know makes it right?

We'll be back after this. Hey, 551 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: welcome back. We're on naming the Car Doctor. Casual conversation. 552 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: Adam was in the shop this week, Danny's friend, Adam. 553 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: Adam drives a little I don't know, two thousand three, 554 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: two thousand four Subaru Um not a w r X, 555 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: but that body style, and we were having a conversation 556 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: about hot rods, and it's funny to me how some 557 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: cars today are mislabeled, and we were talking about weight 558 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: being a factor, and obviously waits a factor with performance. 559 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: Look at the conversation we had with Matt good from 560 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: the Prism Solar powered Car team from Iowa State University 561 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: the top of the hour, right, and Adam was telling 562 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: me about how his subbru wegsounds and how much faster 563 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: it would be than the hot rod than the fifty 564 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: five Chevy. And I looked at him and I said, Adam, 565 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: how can that be? I said, the fifty five was 566 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: it weighs less fifty five Chevy curb weight on the 567 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: average fifty five depending on how it was loaded, was 568 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: seventy pounds. And he was stunned and he was, how 569 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: can it? How can it weigh so little? And I 570 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: and he was there at the moment when we were 571 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: flipping over the Lexus seat. We were working on the 572 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: two thousand six Lexus, the e s three thirty, and 573 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, he was there at that moment. And I said, 574 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: here's why, because look at all the modules that are 575 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: crammed into this driver's seat, and think about what each 576 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: one of those modules weighs. This is four pounds, this 577 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,239 Speaker 1: is six pounds, this is ten pounds. All of that 578 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: stuff adds up. You know. One thing can be said 579 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: about the cars from the fifties and the sixties. They 580 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: were very mechanical, and you know, they were big, and 581 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: maybe they don't have the crash and crush zone rating 582 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: of of what cars are today. But look at how 583 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: technology has taken over and made that heavier car go faster, 584 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: with better fuel economy and have crash zone capability. In 585 00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: terms of a hot rod. You know what, I'll still 586 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: go for something lner because I'm not so much worried 587 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: about crash, crush and anything else. I'm looking for zippy. Um. 588 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: But it was funny to have the conversation with Adam 589 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: this week. And I know he's out there listening today 590 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: as he he's a closet car doctor listener. Um, you know. 591 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: And no, Adam, you can't get a job this week. 592 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: Adam wants me to hire him as a as a technician. 593 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: He wants to go be a police officer, and I 594 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: keep telling them, would you go be a cop please 595 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: and get out of here? Um, you know, it's it's 596 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: got to be easier chasing bad guys and chasing bad parts. Um, 597 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: that's not bad. I might have to make that into 598 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: a into a byline. What's easier chasing bad guys are 599 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: bad parts. Um so, but just something to think about, 600 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: you know, the weight of cars and and how cars 601 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: of uh balloons and weight. And it got me thinking 602 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: when I was talking to Matt Good a little bit 603 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: ago that Yeah, you know what, the car of the 604 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: future is going to have to weigh a whole lot 605 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: less than the current population because weight's going to become 606 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: everything to these cars in terms of you know, how 607 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: far they'll going on what fuel economy. Um So, just 608 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: just just saying just some food for thought, no pun intended. Hey, 609 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: eight five five five zero zero. The phone number that 610 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: is seven, by the way, in case you're just coming 611 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: on to us, Uh, you want to call it five 612 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: five zero nine zero zero, give us a call, or 613 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: you know, if we're not on the air Saturday afternoons 614 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: to the four pm Eastern time on the network, you 615 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: can call a five five five zero nine zero, leave 616 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: a message.

That's what 622 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: we call them. Motorhead Matt, I'm runing any of the 623 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: car doctor, I'll be back right after this. Welcome back, 624 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: wanted any of the car, docul Let's real quick. It 625 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: over to Bob Wisconsin Chevy Equinox and some questions in 626 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: our last couple of minutes. Bob, what's going on? Well, 627 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: I just bought a two thousand, fifteen equal It's got 628 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: seven thousand miles on it. My wife and I are 629 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: both in our seventies. We don't drive that much. The 630 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: car that I drive right now has got only has 631 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: less than three thousand miles on the last oil chain 632 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: two years ago. So I'm wondering would it be better 633 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: to switch over to a synthetic oil or stay with 634 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: the standard oil. Synthetic, Absolutely synthetic. The synthetic will resist moisture, 635 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: that will resist any sort of contaminant and the breakdown 636 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: issues that conventional has, especially from sitting that long. Uh 637 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: you know, listen, the hot rod's got the best oil 638 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: on the planet in it, and I'll pull the valve 639 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: covers off in the spring once in a while, just 640 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: to take a look and see what things look like. 641 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: And or I'll pull the oil fill cap out and 642 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: I can see the little droplets of water that have 643 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: collected from sitting over the winter. And it's in as 644 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: it's in a controlled climate garage, and yet that happens, 645 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: So imagine, you know, being outside the elements are just 646 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: in a regular garage. What can happen. Moisture is the 647 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: biggest problem on a vehicle that doesn't run. And then 648 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: if you do take it out and you drive it 649 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: and you just go five minutes, ten minutes away, the 650 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: engine never really comes up to temperature enough that it's 651 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: going to boil out any of the contaminant. So conventional 652 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: oil tends to break down quicker. Synthetic lasts longer. That's 653 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 1: one of the reasons when Penn's Oil starts talking about 654 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: they're using synthetic made from a natural gas based stock. 655 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: That's what it's about there, starting with a cleaner base oil, 656 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: and that's what helps create a better synthetic oil. And 657 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: that's what you know, that's what the big deal is 658 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: about with Penn's Oil. Synthetic so absolutely synthetic oil is 659 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: where you want to be. You can read more about 660 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 1: Penn's oil if you're interested at Penns Oil Synthetics dot Com. 661 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,919 Speaker 1: I would probably be changing that oil because you don't 662 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: go far. I would really be changing that oil every 663 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: six months, regardless, six to eight months, regardless of mileage 664 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: um at least set even of the synthetic. Just to 665 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: you know what I would do the next oil change, 666 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: I would put synthetic in it. I would do the 667 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: next oil change in six to eight months. Look at 668 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: the color, look at the condition. What does it look 669 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: like when it comes out? Because here's the deal. You 670 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: don't want to have to do any engine work for Equinox. 671 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: It's far too costly in the long run. So the 672 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: little bit extra you spend on an oil change now 673 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna come back to pay a dividends later on. 674 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: And that's just my perspective on if Bob I appreciate 675 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 1: the call. I'm on an ady in the car doctor, 676 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: reminding you the mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
