Don Armstrong shares a hilarious high school tale that you won't forget, and we dive into the Hemings Sold Car Weekly Roundup, guessing the prices of various cars and sprinkling in some humor along the way.In the second half, we tackle serious issues with a touch of wit and wisdom. From auction prices of a 1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia to safety recalls involving Tesla's software and Nissan Ariya's power loss, we cover it all. We also discuss the latest in modern automotive technology and its potential pitfalls. Plus, you'll get a sneak peek into upcoming car events in Texas, such as the Texas Elite Auto Showcase and the 5-0 Car Show in Rosenberg. Stay informed with the latest industry news, including Nissan’s workforce changes and legal challenges faced by National General Holdings and Wells Fargo.
