We dig into the latest car recalls and translate the fine print into plain language, including a third-row power folding seatback issue, a roll-away risk affecting multiple Ford and Lincoln models, and a Kia Telluride power seat motor problem that can overheat and potentially cause a fire. We also talk through the kind of practical advice that actually helps, like when “park outside and away from structures” is worth taking literally.Then we lighten it up with one of our favorite segments: the Hemmings auction “guess what it sold for” rundown. The prices are a snapshot of the classic car market right now, and they’re full of surprises. From a 1955 Chevrolet Nomad bringing serious money, to a giant 1990 Cadillac Brougham selling for shockingly little, we debate what makes a car desirable, what makes it a headache, and what’s simply a great buy if you’ve got the garage space and the patience.We wrap with a quick racing calendar check, a lap through automotive history (Jaguar XK150, the Ford Taurus turning point, GM’s X-car era, and key Volkswagen Beetle milestones), and a set of fast-moving auto industry headlines that show how quickly lineups and sales leaders can shift.If you enjoy car talk that mixes safety, history, auctions, racing, and real-world news, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave us a review so more listeners can find it.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
