Talk Cars Radio on w k QA Freedom Radio. I'm your host, Big
DADYP hanging out with Camera Chaos and EVB. It's a great day for a
radio show, Holly's a great day for a car show where you're at.
I always tell you never know everybody's listening all over the place. It could
be raining where you're at, but hopefully the weather's good. You guys are
enjoying yourself, So you know, last week is kind of funny. I
was going back and editing some stuff and listening things on last week's radio show, and I realized we started talking about Twisted Metal the TV show. We
never got back to the conversation. I was it was so good that it
made me take my eyes off of editing. I was like, what is
this? He was like, this is the show Pops taught us about Twisted
Metal. So, if you guys have not got a chance yet, if
a lot of you guys remember so Twisted Metal. It was a video game,
and I used to play it all the time. There's a couple different
I think, well there's two different editions, maybe three different editions now, don't quote me on it. So I think there was at least two that
I played. I used to play all time. I love the video game.
I really thought that I really wish they would would have gone back and really revamped. Now with today's technology, they could have really made a really
cool, cool Twisted Metal video game. And maybe it's come and went.
I don't know, maybe that's just something was cool back. There's a lot
of car video games that I think you could remake and from way back and make them now with today's technology and make them a lot better, and people go, I don't know. I mean, there was one that used to
play. It was a drag racing game that I really liked playing. That
was really cool, and I want to say it was popular in ninety four ninety five, but it was on the computer. But you had to go
to the junkyard and buy all your party, like go find these different junkyards, and you had to go source the parts to build your car up, which one car faster to go drag racing. And as you found these parts
in different junkyards, they had it like he had to look and he had to go in the newspaper two and look in the excuse me, and look in the newspaper and find parts and source parts out of the newspaper and make your car faster. And then you go drag racing and you try to beat
people. And it was a really cool game. And I really wish they'd
remake that because I just think that was pretty cool. Yeah, because like
I said, you go to the junkyard and you have to like search the junkyard and see if they had the parts you're looking for and make sure they tell what you had and they have better than what you had to make sure it mashed up to your car to build up your car. So there was
like a lot of thinking into it, and like a sudden then you went to the classified ads and you check the classified adds. So nowadays you could
do like go to marketplace or whatever like that and had to look for parts to make your car cool. So it would be a neat game. But
anyway, so Twisted Metal was a just a really cool game. And so
now they turned it into a TV show and I heard about it coming out, and I was kind of excited. So I start watching it and I've
been been watching it and I'm now done, by the way. But it's
it's cool. I like it because it's following some of the show so far
has the show has followed some of the video game and not all of it yet, and maybe they'll get there. I see that. Where does the
game really have a storyline? It's a fall Okay, so it did.
So the the the way that was set up was my recollection, and myc recolition may be a little bit a jar from what it really was. So
you were in a waste land of a world in worlds like towns and cities and stuff like that, and you had a souped up weaponized car and you were doing missions so you had to do these missions with the webpinized cars and move like product or stuff like that from place to place, and then you ended up getting into these like so you were basically a milkman. Yeah you
kind of yeah, so you were kind of okay, so they still kind of playing along with it. Okay. I think they kind of came for
the not a milk, got milk, so I think they went ahead and dube that more for the TV show kind of thing, but which made it right. And then you ended up in these competitions where it was all everybody
against everybody in the competitions. Whoever won the competitions and got you points and
I think wet more, better weapons and stuff like that. So I think
that's kind of how that works. So they're trying to bring that together for
the TV show if you guys haven't seen it yet, So, like I said, it's kind of cool. The only thing about the TV show I
think and and the boys watch it too, because I was like, hey, you guys got to check this out. I think it was pretty much
Yeah. So I think it's a little low budget. The acting, the
actor they picked to play it is good. I'm not gonna running for you
guys, but go check it. He plays a good part. I think
the budget's a little low on it, so I want him to do some more with the cars to make it more realistic. And I think I wish
Nathaniel and I are debating about this back and forth. I wish they'd film
it a little bit more sinister, like more of a Walking Dead kind of sinisterness to it. I don't know how to say what's missing. I just
feel like there's you learned more of a Maden Max. But I like the
comedy version of it. I like the comedy. The comedy doesn't bother me.
Okay, yeah, you like the comedy, right, yeah, I do, Okay, so yeah, you like the comedy side of it.
I like, I don't mind the comedy. I just feel like there's more
of a the way that it's being filmed maybe a little bit. I want
more car stuff, obviously, So I think they're lacking on the car side of things a little bit, maybe because the budget isn't there to do the They're still hoping stuff to the storyline, though they're working their way towards, you know, the next season. Wise, I'm not gonna I think I
just think they steered away from a lot of car stuff because the budget wasn't there for the cars yet, you know. So you see the and I
believe it was the pink Cadillac that was I thought thought the name of the it was Grim Reaper, but maybe not. I think I thought was the
name of that car in the video game. I haven't gone back to look
at some of the names, but I thought that was the name of the car actually in the video game, but maybe it wasn't. So they had
I remember there was that car that was in It was actually in the video game. And then of course they had the Subaru that they're using. It
was never in the video game. So that's just really yeah, something else.
But was the police car? Is the police car is in it,
So they're, like I said, they starting to introduced So was the semi truck. So there was So they're bringing some of the vehicles, and like
I said, I think they're just steering away from a lot of car action.
There is car don't be wrong, guys, there is car action in the movie. But I think they're steering away from a heavy car action because
I don't think the budgets there to cars. Yeah, I think they're trying
to feel it out and get to people's attention. I think they want both
crowds before you start wrecking cars. Yeah, yeah, before you start really
tearing some things up. So, like I said, if you guys haven't
checked it out, it's on Peacock. You guys can definitely go and take
a look at it to sponsor us Peacock. Like I said, you gonna
definitely go check that out. Like I said, well, I've been watched.
I liked it. I didn't have any problems going from the next one
to the next one, the next one to follow along. I was curious
to see what happened next. And I like anything car related, guys.
You guys know, I'll I will watch anything. For the most part.
There's a couple of things out that I've clicked. I watched some of the
shows that are on some of the like the Netflix and stuff that they try to introduce his car shows, and some of them I've can not being able to watch because there's just you know, there's there's just some restoration shows that are out there, guys. I don't know if you guys check some of
these ones, they are out There's a couple of the ones that are out there flow around where the restorations are just not realistic and like, not in a million years would I ever drive some of the stuff that they build.
And I'm not, Hey, look there's builders out there. You can build
whatever you want. It's your car, build build what you want. I
just personally wouldn't a build it and or drive it after you built it.
On some of the stuff I see some of these people driving, I just don't get it, almost like, oh, you obviously have skill, you can build something of the class of what these people were building on some of these shows that are out there, But I don't. I don't understand putting
some of the things these people put together. And I understand art reflects everything.
I get it whatever, I get all that, but I don't know.
For me, it's why put all the effort and to build something to come out and you put all this work into something or some of the cars like and you see a lot of people so I told you I talk on a lot of different forms to a lot of different people before we do these shows. That's where a lot of the topics come from on this show.
And the paint jobs they put it like the camera it really tries to hold at a certain distance of some of the paint jobs they spray on some of these cars on somebody show, and I'm like, you should not be painting in the car. Some of these people on some of these restorations have no
business left it the way it came. Have you guys seen that? You
got to look at some of these restoration shows in the paint show they put on, like the paint work is so horrible and the camera really tries.
I'll I'll bring one up and I will show you a couple where I'm like the fish eyes and or just you name it. It's bad. And I
understand that they're on a deadline. So I got a chance, and I
won't name one of the shows, but there was a cast member for one of the larger shows that I think it still runs out there on TV, and uh, we've become friends and talked and he's no longer on the show, and I like, I said, I don't even know if the shows and he said, the deadlines on these shows are crazy, and that's the reason why a lot of these shows have gone away, because the deadline just sense have been completely crazy. And then people don't want to do the show
anymore, and he's kind of rushing the work. Their work gets rushed and
the quality of the cars get bad. Unfortunately, it's you hate to hear
that. That's what the case of it is. And I'm not gonna poop
poo on anybody's work, because there was some really great quality car shows that have been out there on TV for us to enjoy is enthusiasts. But for
the fact when you start having to rush it and the cars are starting as good as they were I guess or could be kind of crappy, and then when you got to really do some fancy camera work to try to make the car look one of the biggest ones. Unfortunately, you guys, everybody's heard
the horror stories Pip My Ride. I when I was younger, I liked
to watch and pitp My Ride. But then if you guys ever go online,
don't have that feeling. It was just a little too overrating. Some
of the stuff they put in cars weren't practical. And then they talked about
like stuff being taken back out of the car turned off yea, and stuff like that, and so I guess that was that's one of the biggest ones.
Everybody knows. I guess there's a huge scandal on that and I don't.
I don't know. I just read what it was out there. I
don't know anybody from that particular show, but I do know people from a lot of the other shows that we've ran into, and you guys know, we've we've ran into people who went to Seema and met friends and people from different stuff. And everybody knows. Everybody knows everybody in this uh, in
this business. You rather you know them real well or you just end up
running to him every time you guys go to one of the big, huge events and you know, your paths crossed and you guys get a talking.
You know, tons of stories are always out there and you learn all kinds of different stuff. You're like, I didn't know that I do now,
you know. So it's interesting and even some of the bills, like when
you go to some of the big shows, you can see where time didn't allow for things to be finished. And the car looks great when it's on
TV and the camera's going down and they're like, oh and check out this car, and you're like, oh, yeah, that looks great. But
then when you're there in person. Sometimes you see things that just didn't get
the final touch on it and you're like, oh, You're like, why do they do it like this? Yeah, yeah, you realize it.
Somebody had to run home depot before the show. Here's the thing. A
lot of cars that are presented for certain shows and stuff like that, they're out there. Those cars are out for sale after that particular show where sometimes
they're selling, you know, but there's big there's between a booth car and then that car. You know that's just there for display to sell a product
wherever, and that car is getting ready to be sold. So you guys
gotta remember that too. There's a big difference between the two. And you
get chance to get close enough to certain cars, you get a good look at them, and you realize that was just a display car. It's there
to be in a booth and the display or whatever. And once that's done,
that car is going to go because you know, you've already seen it and they're working on building the next car for the next year or the next six month, whatever the next show is going to. That tends to happen.
That's just this industry, unfortunately, that's what it is. It's different
if the car has been built for Let's say we build a car because we want that car, and we're building that car for ourselves, and then we decide to go ahead and put that car in a booth, which we had the opportunity what last year to do worked on. You know a lot of
times you know they're just doing what they're showcasing. Yeah. Absolutely, So
if you had that opportunity to do that car, Like I said, that's one thing. It's a whole another thing if you know you plan on keeping
that car to a car that you just want to have to showcase your product, and then you plan on getting rid of that car and then building another car to showcase your product next year. So keep that in mind. Like
I said, you learn a lot of different things and doing car stuff with radio and TV and all that kind of stuff. It's funny how it all
spins out. But yeah, like I said, you're looking for a new
car show to check out, that might be one of the ones you guys want to check out. And I heard a lot of different ones coming out.
Don't forget Grand Turismo. That looks good, looks good, that one,
that one looks like it's gonna be kind of good. I'm excited to
see. That's basically for the it's loosely based on a true story, I
guess, or maybe closely based on a new true story yet I haven't seen it yet. I want to see it. But you guys go check it
out. I gotta take quick commercial break. Weencome back. We got some

Radio, your automotive specialist. Now back to your host Dave Watch. Hey,
guys, welcome back. So here's something interesting for you guys. It's
funny, how you know. I was looking all the different like car auctions
and all the different purchases have been going on in like the last couple of months. Here's life expenses, like in the auction sites and and things popping
up online and the different car forms. I think we talked about a little
while back. I told you guys that like vans were coming back around.
I think we had that conversation. Did you look at buying a van this
week? Well? I did, so, you know, we talked about
buying a something to start moving and moving the show around because we go to different so many different car shows. We talked about buying some type of some
type of van, like not like a regular van, but some type of van are building stuff. We first we talked about doing a trailer, and
then we talked about doing like some type of van and I would like an old milk truck type of van or something like on airbags and like that to move the show around a little bit more for some of these events we go to. So I thought I looked at that too, But yeah, I've
looked at a little bit everything. I want something that is different cool,
just because you know a lot of things we go to and when we go and do guests appearances at stuff, we need something that allows us to you know, take the microphone stuff with us and Monster Monster. So I've been
looking so but as I was looking at, you know, the seventies early eighty vans are really starting to come back around again. Like I said,
we talked about it, I think months ago that they were just starting to kind of flounder around again, and now they're becoming strong. And the other
thing I know we talked about for sure was station wagons are making a huge comeback again. It's just crazy the prices that are starting to go up on
station wagons and on vans again, and the price tags that are holding to these things. You could buy a you know, a wagon a year ago,
oh, a year and a half ago for pretty I want to say, almost next to nothing, and now I'm seeing like wagons they're like commanding, like some good dollars for station wagons. Again, I'm like, holy
cow, I cannot it makes me want to go, I want to say, like it's like a game sometimes. So all right, I've had the
privilege to try to go find a wagon, or not a wagon, but a van to turn into a truck van. And those are yeah, like
into like a travel van that holds all of your materials. Yeah, I
don't want to say, like you know what company it was for, But we were looking for a van and I realized, I'm like, you're almost paying the price for a two thousand and six that you would be buying like a brand new Absolutely yeah, Like it's like twenty grand for a two thousand six van. Still while you're you can go buy an I struck for that.
Man like the old like the old Chevy. So the old Chevy vans,
like seventy to eighty models. I mean people are literally snatching them up
again and building them back into the into that look and putting the old paint job with you know, glitter and all kinds of stuff into them again and building them in the mobile home. Well, no, they're not doing that.
I mean they are doing that, but that's not the that's not the niche I'm talking about. They are literally building them back into custom bands again.
If you guys happen to notice, I think I took a picture of one and posted it up the last car show event that we went out to into the guest appearance that the guy had bought that one. He had these
Chevy van he started doing the work on. It was in the corner wasn't
done yet, but it was. You know what's it's cool again. What
was old is now new again, and people are starting to do it all over again. I'm kind of I'm digging it because I remember them when they
were everywhere, Like when I was a kid, they were everywhere. I
mean everybody had a custom man, my uncle had one that was all tricked out and they had effects and like back then, the van give you just a bad vibe. Well you know that's why I kind of faded out,
well shagging wagon, you know what I mean. So that's what it was.
But they're coming back around again and they're cool and technologies changed. But
here's what people are doing with them now. So now they're just putting really
beefy motors into them. Yea cool looking and they're just lightning quick. Like
back in the day, they weren't lightning quick. They were just cool looking,
but they weren't like super fast. Now people are making them cool looking
and making them super fast. Same thing with wagons. Wagons are lightning quick
now, so people are like getting wagon station wagons and putting just ls motors in them, making them just nasty fast. So they're kind of cool looking.
Some are a lot of them are sleepers. So it's just a station
wagon. Looks like a family getter. But you look, here's the thing,
guys. If you pull up next to me in a station wagon and
I see like a nineteen seventy seven station wagon out on the road, I, as a car guy, am just gonna assume it's something. Yeah,
it's fast because you don't see a whole lot of them out on the road.
So as soon as one pulls up next to me to the light, I'm gonna go, Okay, I don't see these every day on the road.
There's something nasty underneath the hood. I just know it, Like,
especially if he looks over. I mean, that tells me all I need
to know. As soon as he looks at me, like, yeah,
there's something seriously nasty and shout out to the corvette though on the highway the other day that pulled out in front of me and just let it rip right dude, that men Like I was like, I flashed my life so like a murder third third gear. Smokey's on you like almost second gear, like
you would have thought, like he lit the tires up growing side by like a third By the time he's on the freeway. He's definitely congratulations. Like
I said, it's just it's funny to me how all these different cars that you wouldn't even think about would be at the fact where you just don't know.
You would never guess in a million years that they would have been the car to come back around. Like you got gotta been station saving up station
wagons for you know, fifteen years now, just stacking them up and waiting for the price I'm back around. You don't put a lot of cars like
that. Yeah, you don't know. You have no idea. You have
absolutely no idea which which one's which you know, and which one's gonna be completely You feel like you do a certain point though, because I feel like, you know, what you know was popular back then. You know,
eventually it's gonna come around or people are gonna want it. Never think you
don't think so. You would never think an old Dodge stage wagon. But
the way I think is like when you're growing up, you're like, oh, my dad's car is pretty cool. That's different, or like my grandpa's
car is pretty cool, right, But station cars that you're you have, you're like, that's not that cool. But the older cars are cool.
But now you know that I'm growing up. I'm like, I like the
older cars that you grew up with as well. So I saw this this
little video somebody sent me. I think they were just sending it to me
because they thought I'd find it interesting. But somebody sent me like this little
clip video. I don't know if it was on Instagram or something, but
one of the listeners and thank you for sending it to me. And I
don't remember I should be able to shout your name out, but I don't remember which who sent it to me. But it was like the Riata or
something like that. The Buick Riata was the first true touch screen car that
was out there. Somebody sent it to me. I just got my radio.
There were like a domin radio and control center and everything on it was was it was like in the nineteen eighties, so the info tament sit.
Yeah, it was a touch screen real in like the eighties, like late eighties, Like you touched the AC and everything was all touch screen on it.
Like, well, they didn't have a technology, it's just about math producing it on a cheap scale. Well here's like I said, yeah,
we absolutely, but for the fact that you know you had you we don't.
You know, there's cars people own cars nowadays that don't have that.
You know what I mean, people don't have that stuff nowadays in their car.
They don't have that set up or anything like that at all. You
understand what I'm saying, Like they don't have it. You know, those
people driving around cars don't have touch screen. You know, they're still using
the regular well it's a long time or somebody, oh, let's ask for a radio code. They're still having to push their little number ones and sixes
and put in. But they don't have touch screens. Man. Like,
so think about some of the newer cars, even some of the newer cars don't have touch screens, and well it becomes an option now, it's not where they're they're doing. I mean, I guess we gave them the influence
to do that though, because but think about the fact that like I didn't, I didn't even realize that. I had no idea, Like it's until
somebody sent me that video. I had no idea that that car had touch
screen all the way back in the eighties, like that, A lot of the technologies he was who was I think it's buick Buick made that car a lot of the technology. Thirst of all, if you guys never seen that
car, it was definitely an odd duck car. Okay, let's take for
instance, how longer and if you can look up for me, what was the first car that had a push a start button? You know, somebody
else how to push the start button that they designed a while ago. First
of all, car push Bart's push start button is not new. We had
it like in the fifties. One of the first cars to have push button
ignition was in nineteen twelve Cadillac Model thirty. But okay, that's pretty bull
to have a friend. In the fifties we had push button, Like there
was fifty models cars that had a push button. Well, you had to
hold it down, I mean wash button. I mean it's like, oh
we did was make just electronic that was still a push button. I guess
not. I thought it was funny when I was This was years ago.
I was sitting in somebody's car when they first got pushed button. They're like,
oh, I got push button, And they were like, look, I got push button, I got pushed button. I was like, I
said, I rode in a car when I was a kid that had push button like, no, you did, and I was like, yes I did. I said I had a friend whose dad had an old and I
couldn't eve marry. It was like an old Buick or something like that.
I was like a head push button like no he didn't. He want to
argue, and I was like yes, I'm not gonna lie like you.
It looks really nice, like the touch screen. It kind of like Rihatta
or something like that, or Rigatta Rivera. Like you said, yeah,
is it what buick? Yeah? Yeah, okay, yeah, So like
I said, but it was, it was it, but it's nice, it's clean. Somebody sent me I remember the car incident I was it was.
It was an odd duck car, but it was really advanced. I
think I rode one once or twice. Somebody's mom owned one and can't pick
me up. And it's always the moms. Definitely a mom's car. You
look at it, it's a mom car. But it was really advanced,
and I like, I totally forgot about the car. But here's the thing.
I didn't know it was touch screen. I didn't ask with any of
the buttons in it. You weren't touching somebody somebody's radio or anything like that,
or they're facing anything like that. But yeah, touch screen car,
Yeah, I can't see. Somebody gets with your buttons. I don't like
when Dawn touches the radio when she's driving passenger in the car that I'm driving.
I'm like, excuse me, I'm driving only your own son. How's
a problem with that one over there? You know he touches people side mirrors
and moves people side mirrors and don't tell you until until you until you're going down. You mean when he's driving, when he's driving. Yeah, but
okay, I don't touch my side mirrors. I thought you meant he touches
the mirrors while you were driving, because I got in his car one time and I'm like, how does he even see how these mirrors? I mean,
you gotta be slouched all the weak because you ever seen how he drives?
And then I'm like, maybe he's because he's just a short person.
How does it say you ever seen how he drives? He drives weird in
his car. I get in his car and have to adjust everything in his
car too, so it doesn't matter. I don't touch anything in y'all's cars
when I drive yes, you do. Know you get in my truck and
every time you get out of my truck. A you don't moved A you've
moved my seat. Be you've never put my mirrors back where they belong.
I don't move your mirrors. I don't ever touches. You ever touched me?
You touched? Yes, you do? You touch my ring mirror?
Okay, revi mirror is different. You just said you don't touch my mirror.
I don't touch side mirrors. Do you know you know how long it
takes for you to your side mirrors? Like you're going to notice that every
time we hit a nerve, people, we hit a nerve. All right,
So here's the other one. I'm gonna get you guys too. So
we talked about vans, and we talked about wagons going price is crazy?
Did you guys see this week the two million dollars clapped out Ferrari now clapped out. Clapped out's a term you probably don't know. One's about you,
guys. It's my generation, is not your generation. Clapped out is definitely
not your generation's term. This what's left of a Ferrari, if you want
to call it a Ferrari that sold for two million dollars this week. If
you guys haven't seen it, go take a look. Look. I got
no problem spending money on cars. And every time I even want to go
to you, I'm on auction sites a couple of times a week because I'm constantly just looking to see what's out there, all the different auction sites across the country. I'm just I'm curious. I'm a car guy. I can't
help it. Like I said, I'll build a car I never intend on
ever buying. I'll look at the car, find it online. Go Okay,
Now what can I do it? What body can I buy for it?
What wheels can I buy for it? All that kind of stuff.
It may even be afford You're right, Like I said, I just do it. I told you I'll do it when I'm sitting in traffic. Guys,
if you leave in traffic long enough, it's just a car guy thing.
Maybe not for you, it is for me. But I see this
and I'm like, I look at the price. I I thought I misread
the price three different times, probably because I was in the middle of a conversation with somebody and I saw the price and I was in the middle conversation with somebody, and I saw the price change. I was like and I
and then I saw a different car on the screen and I had to go back and go they talk about that car. It's what's left of a Ferrari.
If you hadn't seen it yet, it's had a food fer I mean, it's history behind understand you see the picture of it, right, But two point nine, I mean it's now they're like the reason why maybe maybe like two hundred grand, five hundred grand, I couldn't I don't know.
I mean if I could even bring myself to spend for the history, because like for the history, right, it's a Ferrari, right, it's gold Ferrari. It is burnt. You're not driving it. I mean, yeah,
it's I mean it's art work, and that's it's art. But I
mean, you know, but for one point nine, it's kind of hard to put the money to. If you guys haven't seen it, go take
a look at it yourself online and tell me what you think. Is it
clapped? Do you know what they're gonna do with it? Is it like
a museum piece? No? So the what I understand is is they're going
to restore since it does still have all the plates on. It has all
the number plates still to the car, Ferrari will rebuild it to rebuild Satan.
So if Ferrari, my understanding is if you can find it doesn't matter what condition they're in. If if it still wears its number plates, Ferrari
can legally rebuild them, as my understanding. But how they'll because they still
have the capability of building, so they will build that car again. Is
their intention. They will rebuild that car, but it's going to be a
brand new car, but it will essentially it will be because it has all its number plates. They will rebuild it and they'll be worth more. It's
missing everything, it's missing every but they will source those parts. They'll source
them and they'll build that car back. But it says it has those plates.
There's people that buy Mustangs that are completely collapped out and destroyed, but they buy it because it has the VND numbers, and then those VIND numbers are worth something to rebuild the car because the VIND numbers. So let's just
say you have a sixty five fast back and it was one of five made like that, but the car is destroyed, Okay, when I rebuilding it you can build it with those plates and use what's left of it and put the car back together to rebuild the parts for you, or you can source all the parts put the car back together. You still have that one of
five plate. So when you put the car and you're using what's left of
it to put it back together, it still makes it worth Yeah, but I probably still one of five. Okay, But what's stopping me from talking
to the guys. I mean again, what's stopping me from talking them into
allowing me to just take the number plates. I don't need the car.
I just need the number poates apparently, you know, just I don't know pop the number poates off. I'm just saying I'll sell the number poates for
you. That's what a lot of people have done. But like I'm just
saying, it's it's definitely it's one of those things of you're saying because they're buying it for the chassis, not as much for the body. Still one
one one point nine to basically just say two million dollars two million dollars.
Look, you guys know, when it comes to cars, I can spend some money. I just don't know if I can spend that kind of money.
I mean, for what I'm getting. It looks like it fits on
a palette. Everything that's left in that car looks like the the picture looks
like it fits on one palette. I mean, that's but the number plates
right. I guess you guys someone what you guys think. I don't know,
sending all your guys information over to Dave at Let's Talk Cars Radio and tell me what you guys think and we'll make a decision. Let me take

Talk Cars Radio, your automotive specialist. Now back to your host, Dave
Palach. Hey, guys, welcome back. So I would say that we're
all guilty right of buying crazy things for our car. Well, maybe not
everybody. I'll say that a lot of different people listen to this show.
We have car people listen to this show. We have people who like just
to talk about repairing their cars, people who sell cars. Then we have
the true gear heads. But I would say, in one way or another,
we've all bought probably something silly for our car. One way or the
other. I'd rather it be like an air freshener or whatever. Cameron's guilty
of it. One Cameron always buys crazy things for air fresheners. One of
them for It's funny that you say that. Son. Danny walks him to
the room the other day and I'm like, do you smell anything. He's
like, no, it just smells like the room. And I'm like,
you don't smell the new car sick because the room you spray car sent in a room. No. I take air fresheners and I put it on my
fan at sometimes and I'll just it was smell like I mean my car smell.
I mean, I think somebody sent me that as like a hack, like years ago. They're like, put put car fresheners on your fan.
Let swing around and it'll smell like whatever that is, but smells Good's funny how when I go home, they'll smell like a new car in there.
I mean, it's funny when I get in. When I ride in someone's
car, I always just it's a habit. I look around in their car
just to see what little goofy items they have in their car. One of
the biggest things I always see is air fresheners. Somebody always has like a
signature air freshener alway in their car. It's always like their scent, they
always have. And then if you ride, if you if you hang out
with somebody long enough, you always realize that it's always that same air freshener and it always smells and their their car always smells good. You realize they're
constantly buying that air fresheners. So, huh, what's mine? Well,
you used to do black eyes? I did, and now it's a switch.
Used to do black eyes? What is yours? Now? Leather?
I yep, I never I do leather. I like leather, So leather's
mine? What's your wors I'm more black eyes kind of black eyes? Guy?
You like black eyes? Okay, So I think a lot of people
are stuck on black eyes. I used to like they used to have this.
Uh it was it wasn't a new car, but it was like a mix between new car and uh it was like it was fresh air, like like beachy something. Oh the teal, the light teal one. I know
what you're talking about. Teal. Yeah, light seeing that's how many year
fresh. Yeah, it was the light So it wasn't the dark blue one.
It was the light teal and it was like greenish of a teal because it mixed cool mint and new car sent to get basically yea, and it wasn't too overpowered, and ICE use it. But then I moved to leather.
I've been using leather for years and I like it because well I got leather in the vehicle, so it just kind of goes with That's what made me switch mine, because I got leather in the so and I'll use that.
But people, I know it's like, so people will buy them and like, like I say, the tree form, but you know what I mean, it hangs in dangles whatever. I never I've never dangled one from
my mirror. By the way, I just think that's weird. I don't
know if ever just scratch the sin. So I all right, so I
probably go overboard. I dangle mine from the rever mirror. Don't tell me
you have more than one in your car. I don't have the more than
one tree. No, I don't have one more than one more tree.
Always when they came out with the under the seat, since I have two, one under the seat under each seat. But it was matches, but
it matches it matches the other since so you always have you always have three car gets out of his car, and they're like, oh, what's that cologne you're wearing. He's like my leather, my Cameron, if they made
a black ice or or leather, would kid, you want to wear a black ice cologne? No? Yo, I would not, No, I
would not. And you guys are thinking I'm crazy that I have. Yeah,
No, I know you're crazy, you know. All right? So
what do you put in your are? I just have leather, but and
I also have I put my clone off, leave it last all day.
I also have to spray, so I spray my back soaps. You're gonna
make you rethink all kinds of things when it comes to your car. Stupid
things that you have for your car. Another thing, do you guys do
trash bags in your car? You have a trash bag? Like people have
like a little like a little trash back in their car that they use it because you just never know when you're gonna like go stuff away. All right.
So here's the thing. I have a problem with people having trash bags
in their car. I don't. I just think it promotes people leaving trash
in their car. Think about you're throwing trash into the trash bag and then
you just leave the trash bag in your car. So you're just piling up
trash in your car and you're promote, Okay, you're just take the trash out of the car with you every time you get out of their car.
It's more like a preventive measure, isn't it. Like I feel like you're
kind of thinking a little too hard about it, like they're personally trash out with you every day. Well, no, but I'm not thinking about I'm
talking about I thought you're talking about like that's trash and gent No, I mean you are. You're not. I mean you're taking your with you.
I mean you're not. If you have a little trash bag in your car
you throw trash, talk about like a trash can that's already like ready to go from the throw stuff in, or you just talking about like leaving stuff.
And there's people who have like the little trash bag that's made to be like in your vehicle, that's a little trash bag and you put trash in.
I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about you're talking about your cars
are made to like kind of clip off to the side, like I'm a center console that holds like a little bag and you put a little trash in and I see people have those, and I go, and I just kind of go, if you put trash and then you're just carrying trash round with you all the time in your car, isn't easier just to take your trash with you out of your car instead of storing the trash in your car.
I just think that's like a stupid item to have in your car. It's
like one of those like just lame ideas. I don't know. I just
because get a lot of people's cars all the time, and I'm like, I see this just some of the Well, how do we solve that problem?
We'll just take your trash with you, but obviously we know that's the problem. I mean, I can't solve their problem less I steal their trash
can in their car and take it with me. And they're like, now
you don't have a trash can anymore, getting the wrong card just to steer their trash can. No. I just I got to thinking about it,
and I was just like, I'm I was riding someone's car and they had it was I've seen all the time, and I was sitting there ride and I was looking down and I was just like and I just realized it was trash had been in there for a little bit, and then my OCD started to kick in and I was like, I trash spend there a little while, I like start rolling down the way, and I was like, that's kind of a dumb that's a dumb device to put me right. So now
you just promote. You mentioned the trash can that clips onto the side.
Okay, I'll tell you I do not like those. And the reason why
I don't because when I'm driving, when I'm riding passion her seat, then I have to move my legs over just a little bit so I give room.
So you're in a car one of those I have. Okay, yes,
yes, she knows who I'm calling out. Okay, I'm just because
I had to move my feet. You had to move your feet over because
or almost full. It probably was, is you think about it, it
probably was probably was yea, yeah, see there you go. It's just
trash can. It's such a trash can. I just I don't know.
And then your pastor has to ride next to your trash which is even weirder.
It's just you think about it, is it's just a weird device.
That's just one of the weird things I see. The other thing I think
that this is riding probably with women more than anything else, is the stuff that everything everybody piles around the shifter kop to the point that they have to move things on the shift because usually because usually the cupholders are taken. Are
you guilty of that time? All right? No, because right when we
were driving into the show, I made a comment about it as we were pulling in. Now, I was like, because my wallet's sitting right there,
and when I went to go shift in the park, my wallet blocked it from going into park. Yeah. So then so then I go and
look at Nate, and now I was like, see, so at this point they created something for cars because of this, I was like, and most of our police cars used every day. It's like the most popular car
does a Crown VIC. So the camera. One thing about the camera is
is it has up front, it has a compartment to put like your wallet and everything in front of the shifter you put more room. And then it
has the door that pools closed. And on top of that door is a
charging stage. Is a wireless charges phone the wireless charges okay, and then
of course when you have your cup holders and stuff. So I thought that
was kind of cool because you know, if you I don't like sitting on my wallet when I drive, I take mine out. Yeah, So if
you if you didn't have I did not like driving, Yeah, if you didn't have that, you would have to put it like in one of the cup holders, which then takes up the cup holder. Which that makes me
wonder if the top drawer of our center consoles is really a wallet. I
don't know. Do you ever wonder what that door is called that you open
up the first one? What a first actual name with that of the first
st It's not a glove compartment, it's a center console. But what's that
called the center console? No, that's just the whole thing is called the
center console. What's the actual inside of that compartment called? There's gotta be
a name for that center compartment. I don't know. Maybe that might begs
the question what the name of that is support? I'm guessing the center compartment.
I don't know. Here's the other stupid thing that people buy. That's
a really bad thing that I see when people have like all the weird key key chings hanging off their keys I know that they make the keys like so heavy. You know, it's horrible for your cars. Guy, If you
don't know that it's it's really bad for the ignition is actually what wears out your ignition, and people have to put in a cognition switches in their car.
And with the ignitions being more computerized nowadays, it's even worse for it because it's more expensive. So I guess you have push button start. You
don't have to read of money, yeah, but if you don't, you might want to think about it. But yeah, I've never understood all the
stuff off your keys and then what do you do with your keys? How
do you put them in your pocket? Or question, how come not everybody
has gone to push start? I don't you know, there's gotta be a
reason for it, you know, because they don't have to worry about you know, people breaking in and pretty soon you're gonna have I scan anyways, you don't have to worry about it. Fingers, you know, print,
Yeah, but that's gonna be so annoying just having like a friend to move your car and you're like, hold on, let me get you my fingerprint, right, or like I guess you may be able to send it.
I thought about that the other day. I was actually when I saw that
you have eye retina scan and stuff like that, Like what if you want your friend to go move your car or borrow your car? Like, how
are you gonna let your friend if you're showing all these new technology you're coming out on your phone scan all. I was like, so the vallet needs
to move your car, like, I mean, they have ballet keys, so you like, you know, like so you got to carry your key just case Tesla has the card. I don't know you topped the card.
You guys, tell me what you guys think. You guys, hold tight
man. We're flying by. I gotta take quick much break when we come

Let's Talk Cars Radio. You're automotive specialist. Now back to your host,
Dave Palach. Hey, guys, welcome back. So once again, it's
that time of the year. The summer is starting to wind down. I
cannot believe the summer's gone by as quick as it has. But the good
news is is car shows and stuff tend to wind all the way through sometimes all the way in November. It comes on which weather's like. But as
everybody gets ready to pack it in, kids head back to school, people head back to college and stuff. Everybody's gonna get that one last road trip
in right before everything goes. So I know we are we're actually gonna be
heading out and gonna take a little trip out to New York. I'm kind
of excited to hang out with the family and do a little road trip.
So this time we're not taking two cars, y'all, We're taking one.
Yeah. So last time, yeah, last time we did the road trip,
we took two cars and we did the old you know, CB back and forth talking to each other, which was great, worked out good, and I like doing that. I think it's fun. But this time we
decided to make a little easier because people had a little trouble keeping up with other people and keeping communication and we had to work out and it seemed to work fine for me, it didn't work fine for other We side to take one vehicle up with everybody, and which is fine whatever. I mean,
like I said, it work out good. So it's gonna be fine,
and I'll let you guys know how that works out for us. But yeah,
last road trips. If you make it back, we make it back.
If we don't, we don't. I mean. So here's the thing
with road trips and stuff, and everybody's planning out. So I've been talking
with people online. Everyboy's like, yeah, we're gonna take one too.
And it seems like a lot of people are playing there, you know with air all fair and airlines being a little bit unpredictable right the second, a lot of people are planning. Yeah, well not just the money, it's
the unpredictability. You know, everybody's been, you know, planning on going
on road trips and stuff. Like I said, ours road trips for us,
what we do is we just kind of chart away out and then we stop a bunch of times, like if I see something looks cool, I pull a car over. We're like, let's go check this out. Let's
go check that. That's what we plan on doing this time. We allowed
enough time to do that and just kind of if we see some roadside attraction or whatever, we're gonna stop and check it out. It ought to be
kind of cool. But one thing I about like about road trips guys,
and I tell you, guys, get out there with your family, explore, you know, do like we're doing this time. Or you know,
you guys can car pull it, you know, with a bunch of different cars and Dixie chain with your family, or you can put everybody in one car and see if you survive like we're doing this time said, I pack up coolers, enough snacks, do it all? Okay we Louie, the
girls are not here. How many times do you think we're stopping for bathroom
breaks? So you guys know, so I'm like the worst probably to drive
with in that matter. I have a problem with bathroom breaks. I'm like,
I try to like schedule bathroom breaks around, like getting gasoline just makes sense to me sometimes, and I'll stop if we want to get a snack or whatever, or if we're stopping to see a road side attraction, I'm like, that's the time to go bathroom. The problem with it is is
I always ask a thousand times you gotta go bathroom? Oh, I gotta
go. And then as soon as you get packed back in the car and
you get going on the freeway, and then the first thing you'll hear is why do you think we're stopping and going to bathroom? Like why didn't you
go when we were back there? I don't what have I don't I've never
seen a six times. I'm saying times like time six times from when we
leave to our first stop. No, six times, I'll say We'll stop
one time our first over. No, I'm talking about all the way through
the whole trip. Six times, okay, six times, yeah, I'll
say it's probably be right. Six times we'll see yeah, yeah, maybe
I don't know, but how many times you gotta go stop with the restroom.
It is one of the funnest things to do is to just get in the car have fun. I always say, if you're gonna take a road
trip, though, guys, leave yourself enough time to see the unexpected.
Every time that I've ever tried to rush a road trip, we miss out on things. You there is no time to stop. And if you see
ah. I like antique stores. I just do because that's where I find
a lot of my cool car signs and license plates and all that kind of stuff that I decorate through the mega garage with. I find some of the
coolest things there. I like to stop at every single one I see.
If I see one in ten miles down the road, I see another one, I want to stop at the next one. I just do. I
love spontaneous, spontaneous stuff. It's just like, let's just go do this
maybe kind of cool. We can like stop buying a state sales Yeah,
I like, yeah, I like always just like so my favorite one was when I went to at two am in the morning, just looked at it friend and was like, we're going to Shandoah Valley, which is six hours away from him, but we drove there and it was just because we had nothing else to yet. I tell everyway, the best thing you can do
is one just do random car trips places. I mean it's getting to the
time year where the temperature starting to come down a little bit as it gets a little cool, or you can still sneak some in even if with kids are going back to school, sneaking in on the weekend, just taking if you didn't in a weekend car trip. A lot of the national parks on
their off seasons are free. You just have to look it up and if
you're help if you're a vet, there's a lot of discounts. There's a
lot some of them you get into for free if you're a VET. A
lot of your libraries if you did not know, if you go to your public libraries, they all get passes to be able to give out to library members every year and you can check out that. So, like I said,
I mean, get in, get in a road trip like I said, I very much enjoy him. I spend a lot of cool time with
my family and my kids and stuff like that doing road trips. We have
some cool memories out of a lot of the ones we've taken. A lot
of them been going to race tracks and stuff like that, but there's been road trips to go to those race tracks. So, like I said,
there's nothing cooler. I still on my bucket list. Have to rent an
RV for maybe like a month or so and just go for a month hitting some of the coolest attractions. It's still on my list. It's funny.
The other day I saw somebody selling an RV that need a little bit of work, and if we didn't have as many projects as we already have run, I was like, man, would be kind of cool to buy that and do the work to it and fix it up. It had to slide
out. It was a nice one. It was still a newer one,
but it had somebody didn't take care of it the way they should have and need a little bit of work that I knew I was more than capable of doing it. And an RV for a month, Yeah, Like, am
just do a month? I'm on RV ride. No no, no,
no, no, no, no, dude. I went on a cruise
for fourteen days. Right twelfth day, I was losing my mind, going,
I need to get off this. Nineteen days that time, nineteen days
total. Twelfth day, I was going, I need to get off this
bad support people that lived there, you know, live on the ship because some people actually, you know, just do it as retirement wise, I was military. Didn't seem to bother any bother me. It doesn't. But
I think just in a month's time, I think you could go see everything and you stop at the you know, the little you know RV parks.
You think get through all fifty states within a month. No, I think
I can go see all the stuff that I want to go see within a month's time. Month, month and a half time. I can go see
all the little stuff I told you you guys heard me talk about this is before on the air. I want to stop at like the biggest ball of
yarn or the biggest coffee cup, all those stupid stuff that's out there, you know, roadside attractions. I want to go see all that stuff.
One thing I want to do, I want to go on. I want
to take the food route sixty six. I want to take the food.
So I've been on bits and pieces of it over the years because I've done a lot of traveling. So I've got on traveled down for a little bit
and stop at some of the cool some some things, and then got back on the freeway. So I've got on bits and pieces. I've never gone
the floor route or anything I want to get, but I've been on bits and pieces of it throughout the year, and I've seen some cool things.
There's some things that I have passed over the years, but I've never had time to stop. Rather it be driving across states, but I never got
a chance to pull over. Next you see the roadside. I just saw
the roadside traction as I was driving pass nothing. I want to do?
What's that I want to do? The what's the race called the race?
Oh yeah, I know it's trug. I want to do a can that's
in my in my bucket list, it is cannonball when like I mean, there's there's a bunch I know anybody can do it like that, but you've got to have the car set up for it. All kinds of stuff.
And I think there's a club that you had to be part of to get to get into the Yeah, because they send you a link and then talk of that. You know, there's the whole ticket thing that goes along with
it. I understand, But at the same time, you don't need any
more. I know. I'm talking about like like when I'm forty fifty,
I want to do run shot and when the officer pulls me over, I Am literally going to be like, this is my once in a lifetime to do the cannonball run you're doing time, Like, yeah, it'll be like can you come get me from jail? Can you bring me my backup car?
And you're my final thing because I know we're getting closed. Like I
said, the show's gone by quick this week. So Pet Peeves, I
got a pet Peeve. Here's here's the pet Peeve. You're ready, Pet
Peeves. Have you guys ever noticed when you guys are in a parking lot
and it's it's happened to me personally when I'm trying to help somebody, But when your car breaks down, or somebody's cars break broken down, and as soon as they pop the hood and they're having a problem with their car, that seems just to attract everybody in the parking lot, Well, I want to go help. I don't know why it seems to attract people in the
parking lot, but it seems to attract field parking lot. And I'm gonna
say ninety five percent of the people that attracts they have no helpful used to being attract you know what I mean, Like they're not there to help.
They can't help, they don't have the knowledge to help. For some reason,
people just all want to stand around and look at the car and think that that's gonna like wish the car back to life for something. I don't
know. Have you ever noticed this seems to happen. Look, yeah,
mattery's dead, but I got an iron wrench. I mean, hey,
it's it's it's I don't know what it is. It seems to be like
a broken down car and a parking lot seems to just attract people. And
if Heaven forbid, if the car makes a funny noise while you're trying to start it like the battery's dead and just crank kind of cranks over and it's got a slow little that is like the mating call to the person that has no car knowledge. I don't know what it is. Right. They all
come around, they stand around, they just sit there and they stare at it like, golly, what seems to be wrong? What are you gonna
do? Frank? You know, it's like, I don't need thirty people
staring around the car staring at it. You don't have jumper cables, so
you have nothing to offer to help the situation. But you just want to
stand around, go well and throw out a million ideas what you think it is well, And some of the ideas are the craziest they I mean, especially when you're a car guy and you know things about cars and they're just thrown out like ideas. It would never in a million years be any of
those ideas of what they're throwing out. And I'm not saying it's my car
is broken down, like when you actually general like, hey, I see you're broken down. You know you can't, you know, you have some
sounds like maybe you know the battery jump came. And then the fifteen other
people start to stand around and they start to throw out like you know, I'm gonna give you one a way off, maybe it's the wheelbaring my favorite start. You're like, why would be my favorite one? Is? Well?
I was like, let me, let me try. Let me try
turning the key. Let me try turning the keys right, let me try.
This happened, huhr carries that guy, Well, let me try.
I like, I'm doing exactly what you Just turn the key fifteen times at the start. Why do you think you turning the key is gonna However,
I am that guy. But when I turned the key, the car starts.
Okay, I just gave it a little bit more. Gay, I'm
feeling you. Guys know, it's a pet peeve of mine. I don't
know why it is, but it just seems to happen. So if it
happens to you, let me know it happens a lot. On that note,
