Dave Polage. Every Saturday, America, you're listening Let's Talk Cars Radio

and w KQA Freedom Radio. I'm your host, Big DAVP hanging out with

rockin Larry cobbline. Wow, that's a tribute back to Larry. Hey,

how Cary and AVV. You know why Rocket Larry? Yeah, you know

you know what? You know why he's on He was on my mind because

I saw that he had tagged in on last week's show and watched last week show. See his new profile picture too. Yeah, that's why that's why

he's on my mind. Had talked him at while I have a couple messages,

hadn't heard anything from him. I don't think they're out there traveling or

something probably, but h hey, so cool thing, but not so cool thing if you guys. Ever, everybody watched Super Bowl for the most parm

sure everybody tagged into the Super Bowl and hum out right. So some of

the car commercials are starting to make their way back, but I just don't.

I mean, I'm glad they're made. Car commercials are starting to kind

of come back around, because we were just talking about it a couple weeks ago about how we feel like there's just no effort put into, uh, the sales of cars. You know, car commercials used to be everything,

right, so they used to be just over the top, and I feel like we've lost that. Like every time there's a big event is usually really

cool car commercials to go with it. Obviously, this Sunday is supposed to

be Daytona five hundred. It's can probably be rained out. I hate tell

you guys, if you don't know. Unfortunate. Yeah, what was already

raining? They were they were doing track side reports this morning and it was

already raining on them. And it's supposed to last. I guess all the

way till Monday, So I don't even know if we'd even get the race in by Monday or not. So we'll see. But yeah, I mean

we were watching some of the commercials and people send them to me in my email and they were like, hey, what did you think about this commercial?

I think, as far as I'm concerned, I think the Super Bowl car commercial winner was the Volkswagen commercial because it's you know, this car.

The people they kind of they played upon that a little bit, you know, as far as going back in time and moving all the way forward.

So it was a cool commercial. And Nathaniel liked the BMW commercial. I

thought it was decent. Did you like because they had the actor in it.

I mean I thought it was, you know, just a creative commercial.

But like we you know, I was saying earlier and stuff. You

know, we've kind of gotten a way of displaying you know, the car in general, right, And I think that's where the problem lies is, Uh, car commercials we talked before that you know, used to attract you to that vehicle, you know what I mean, Like they pull, they're always funnier. They were catching somebody you remember, and you talked about them

for weeks. You know, the commercial. Like I told you, I

can remember all the old Chevy commercials, every single one of them, Heartbeat, all that stuff. Commercials for Chevy. I remember them. They stick

with me all all these years. And that's going all the way back in

the eighties and nineties, and you know, all they had, they had great, great concept to them that they stuck with you. And now I

don't think any of the commercials that we make for cars or anything like that stick with us. And I don't know if it's because we've gotten away from

the fact of really caring or wanting to be in you know, attract anybody to. I think the thing pointed out very well, he said, they're

not really trying to attract you to a particular car anymore. They're spending more

time attracting you to a brand. And I remember, you know, it

being over the top for car commercials, and they're being it seemed like there was a lot of emphasis on each type of model car and all that kind of stuff in those days gone. So each company was kind of like in

a niche too, Right, So now is kind of like spreading out doing you know, kind of like and every little thing now yeah, everything especially you know, like what ten to fifteen year ago, you know, it's all about economy. Why so like everybody's pushing out you know, economy driven

cars. Well, okay, so in the eighties and it's funny because that's

actually in the news this week. But right, so in the eighties,

it was a lot of compact economy cars stuff like that, but there was still I wouldn't even say the eighties, I said, like more two thousands, right, that's when we got like, you know, but the electric you know, small electric leaves. Okay, well, yeah, there was,

Yeah, there was. There was something like the first electric cars really

starting to come around, and they were starting to push for it. That's

the reason why we had an ev lane. You know, like nineties and

stuff, you had kind of like your your free moment. Everybody's kind of

find like their own niche they were. Okay, so in the eighties you

had you know, the big compact car push, like I said, that's in the news this week. But you know they emphasized on Corvette or they

emphasized on you know Honda. Well everything was new, right and everything was

coming out was brand new. It was it was it was yeah, Okay,

So maybe that's what the problem is, is the fact that they were new car designs. We don't really seem to have anything really new and exciting

as far as car designs. And I'll tell you how interesting that is because

really, the last car I remember anybody really talking about it's new, but it doesn't have like it's using the same name, you know, they're just it's not new new like it's not like a new name. It's funny because

I have to laugh about it when I got in the conversation about this week.

The last like new car and I mean new, like it didn't exist, and now here it is that came out that people really seem to talk about was the Kia Stinger. Remember when I'm like, everybody was talking about

it when it came out. They're like, oh, you know when they

were doing it looked cool and they were doing all these like track test commercials and they'd show the car like, you know, just flying with the turbo on it and all that kind of stuff. So and people were really excited

about it. But it was a Kia, guys. So I mean,

nothing gets key. I'm not saying, but I'm just saying, like,

that's The last thing we got excited about as far as like a new concept of a new car was a Kia. You know, it wasn't one of

the big brand names. I mean, it wasn't a Honda or Toyota or

anybody. It's Kia. We're honest. Anything it's gonna be fascin turbos on

it. No, you're right, you're right. I think it's because it's

like, like we just said, I mean, it's just another Core Evett.

It's just like me Nates, and we always refer to Nate's Musting, but Nate's Mustang. That's a cool Mustang. But it's just another Mustang,

you know. I mean I would say that, but it has a different

body style, so it has a little different curb appeal. It's not like

you're just seeing it every day on the road. And I don't think that's

what he's trying to say, though, he's trying to say, the name already exists, that name plate already exists, so we know it to be just another Musting. There's just gonna be another installment. A little bit body

changes, another installment, but it's still Musting. It's not like we came

out with like a car. See you on a new species. Yeah,

right, exactly, that's what I'm saying. I mean, I mean,

that's I guess that's probably what I'm saying. Like the last time we got

excited by something that was new, I mean, like I said, it was kea uh and everybody goes wait. I know, look, I know

that's gonna happen. It's gonna go wait in it, and you guys are

gonna come out with something and send me a bunch of stuff like where I'm wrong. It's gonna be this car or that car. I'm not talking about

like it like exotics, because we seem to dream up like new exotics all the time with new names. We can't even get ballot to give names anymore.

We just give them numbers. There's like the R one three Force X,

you know what I mean, Like that's not even a car name.

That's just dumb. I mean, like you actually give it a name,

get inspired called like called the the speed or something. You know, something

you don't give it. I don't know some name that will give credit.

Dodge always has some pretty interesting names, they do, but it's it's all old names, you know, Dart Charger, Challenger, I mean, let's you know, and then they're like, well it was. They were like,

it's the Swinger. I'm like, okay, that's already been done,

and a lot of people don't even know that. They have no idea.

I just had this conversation. I had a conversation this week with somebody.

They're like, uh, you know the Dodge Swinger. I'm like, yeah,

I'm like, that's that's old. Just brought a name back. They're

like, they didn't use that name before. I'm like, yes, yes

they did. And that just tells me how much you know about cars,

which is not your time, right, which wasn't your time. But I

just want something new. I want us to make things new. I want

cool commercials to follow those, you know what I mean. I gotta jump

ahead because we're kind of we're in we My point is is there was This was a different topic for today, but it kind of goes together. You

don't have legendary cars anymore. You just don't have there's you don't have those.

And what I mean legendary cars. There was always cars from like me.

You can go back further. I'm gonna start in the eighties. You

had legendary cars from the eighties that fell into the nineties, and those were legendary cars. What I mean like a legendary car is the Iraq. Everybody

wanted one. Everybody wanted an Iraq. Okay, everybody if if you weren't

an Iraq, Iraq guy, if you say Mazda, Mazda had the RX seven, right, the RX seven. I remember when everybody wanted an RX

seven. And then the Miata came out and definitely right. People want to

breeze other competition, right, they wanted Miata okay, or as Mark said, bring back the you know he loves to see them in the wild.

Hey you you laugh. But I saw a rendering two weeks ago of a

Chavette, a new Chavette, a drawing, drawing that somebody did. Can

see if you can find the rendering of the Chavette, and it's I actually went wow. And then I saw this even worse. I saw a rendering

of the Pinto and the Gremblin. I don't know if the Pento needs to

come down. Look, look that's what you was I I don't I don't

disagree with you, but I saw cool renderings of them where I was like, now, that's a cool looking car. I mean, I know they

are horrible names back in the day and everybody never wanted one, but these renderings were actually pretty cool. And I was like, I was like,

is that the Chevell or Chavette. That is no, that's no, that's

not it. This thing was like brand new. Look up concept drawings for

the Gremblin, the Pinto and the Chavette. I said, there's you gotta

go look online, two guys, if you guys are looking at yourself.

But like I said, there's there is CA just gonna see. You can

pull them up, but they're there are new rendering drawings. And I was

like, even though those were old names, they still look like cool cars.

Like I wouldn't want to bring them back underneath those name plates. You

could bring them underneath a new name plate and introduce it as a new car and people will probably be excited about it. Like we put like cool name

like the Dark that we brought the Dark name back, and that was the worst thing we ever did. We threw it on the biggest piece of junk

on Earth, and that's the reason why it doesn't exist anymore. And it

went away. If you look at show. Is that what is that the

Chavette? Yeah, yeah, see they don't look anything like a Chauvette.

See if you could post that up, yeah, I'll try. Like I

said, but that is just an ugly bumblebee. It's just a wrong color

for its yellow. They had a bumblebe yellow. But like I said,

it's they have done. And there's like there's one out there for rendering for

the Gremlin. There's one new rendling for the pint up too, if you

can find it. But I'm just saying, like you could take you don't

need to put those names on the car. They could put a different name

in the car and start a whole new cult following of it. Because I

said, like, you had legendary cars, all right, every one of us from the eighties, you know, going back to you know, my time as a kid, seventies eighties, we had the Kuntash up on our wall. That was a legendary car. Like everybody wanted a laborating Kutash.

That was like the epitacle of you know, everything you could ever you ever got to a point in life where you could afford one, You want it one of those right now? You still can't afford him. We all make

good money now and still can't afford him. I mean, they're just now.

The prices are ridiculous on Supra. Well that's why it's kind of nice

to have like reinstallments, right it is. But okay, so you have

the Supra. Everybody loved the super the old the older ones. Uh,

the new ones. I don't think it has taken off the way that they

thought they were going to. Uh. And that's just my personal opinion.

If I'm wrong, you can disagree with me. But later probably maybe they

will. But yeah, the old ones there, they're a unicorn, you

know what I mean. Like when people have me, it doesn't matter.

Every time you go to a car show, people always stop and look at the Supra. They just do it. You still, you're it. I

think it's gonna happen forever. Okay for mission bishis. You have the Evo,

Right, that was a car that somebody wanted, like they aspire to have an Evo. Well not everybody's car, but it was like everybody say,

well, I never wanted one of those. There was a lot of

people who did. I mean, I can I can take you outside the

car guy side of then and go. You know, there's a lot of

people out there that want it. Super Forrester, you know what I mean.

Like that was like the outback. People are like, oh, I

want I memor my sister wanted an outback. Really Nope, she wanted out

back. I don't know why, but she wanted one. I think because

everybody had one. But they're still running around. They still have outbacks.

I don't know the story. They still make outbacks, but they ran around

forever and they's just that that car that you remember. And we're not really

doing that anything. We're just playing off of old names. There's We're not

building legendary cars to go on. We're just to keep on recycling the same

names over and over again. I mean we're even taking like I said,

we're taking names that we should never put on things like you know, the machis that was dumb. I don't care anybody says that that is the dumbest

thing on earth. I just you could call it something else. You didn't

need to call that nothing. The car itself dumb was just it's it's bad

name plating. As far as I'm concerned, they call it something else,

call it, you know, mom, band or something I don't know.

They gave it a muscle car name, on a on a on a just a grocery getter. It's just weird to me. I don't really understand it,

Like I think they thought maybe the name going to it would help it.

Everybody's got an opinion. I'm just saying that's mine on that. On

that particular topic of cars, I think we need to And it's I don't know why it bothers me because it's not like I'm building them or I'm making the money off of them. Maybe if I was, Hey, maybe you

guys should actually like just like pass my opinion. I'll tell you what names

to give them. I'll just come up some great names and I get,

you know, one percent of sales or something, Hey, you can shoot your shot there. It's but it's it's one of those things where I just

don't understand, Like, as being a car guy and being a car enthusiast, I don't understand why we don't advertise the way we used to. We

don't have We're not building legendary cars for people to talk about in the future.

I don't. I don't. I can't think of really anything that I

think you guys will talk about like we talked about cars. I mean,

can you name really a car out there that sticks out to you? You're

like, man, I'm gonna I'll be telling my cars, my kids about these cars. No, I can the four to twenty seven Cobra Jet Mustang

right there. I mean, the kids have heard me talk about it before.

That's it's it's a unicorn of a car. But they made that cool

car. I say, now, yes, right, hold on, Musting

people, you did hear me, right, I did just talk that about a Mustang being actually a really cool car. So you know, give me

my credit cause you guys always say that a bash on Mustangs. Yeah,

I can't help you drive me two cars, but it's okay. I still

love you. But that car, that Mustang, as far as I'm concerned,

is like the epinacle of uh just everything that speaks car to me.

Cool car. If you guys don't know about this car, go look it

up if you don't, if you have no clue, but it was a cool car. I got to see very few in my in my lifetime.

A buddy of mine, Paul, you guys heard me talk about before we saw one in the desert. The guy wouldn't sell a really really cool car.

But like I said, it was in the desert. He just is

son had died and he had no plans on ever selling the car. But

it's a very very cool car. Just just like if you come across a

KR five hundred Mustang, one of the old ones, it's still a very cool car. Those are legendary cars. I gotta take a quick horse of

break. When I come back, we'll top on this just a little bit

more, and then I got some other stuff for you guys, So hold tight. I'll be right back. You're listening to Dave Polach on Let's Talk

Let's Talk Cars Radio, your automotive specialist. Now back to your host,

Dave Polach. Hey, guys, welcome back. So before we went to

the commercial break, we were talking about like legendary cars and the fact that we really don't have them anymore. It's funny because Nathaniel kind of stepped me

straight. He said, one of the cars that will we probably will talk

about is Tesla, and I didn't really think about I'm thinking about that as like a brand more than a car. But I get what he's talking about.

Yeah, obviously, because of it being you know, legendary for the time and game changer and all that kind of stuff, we'll talk about Tesla.

But I meaning, like, you know, cars like Okay, I went through one of the things I didn't say before the Viper. Okay,

let's you know. Even though Viper for Dodge, Viper was not everything that

I think they thought it was gonna be. I thought it was. It's

a cool car. I mean when it first came out, people talked about

it forever. They talked about the Viper. Everybody wanted a Viper, Okay.

So it was trying to get to the point to level where you could afford a Viper, I guess, and that's maybe that's just the challenge, is trying to get to that point where you can actually afford whatever the legendary car is. I mean, like obviously an Iraq being as legendary as it

was and everybody, you know, it was just a car everybody wanted.

It was a little bit more obtainable because of the price tag on it.

Right, if you wanted a Z seventy Z seventy one pickup truck or something like that, you know what I mean, you you could probably attain that because of the price tag. If that's what you know, those are things

that stick around. So so basically I said it had poor sales and it

was basically outdated interior. It was. It was that was probably still keep

yeah for that that I was able to grab those photos. If you guys

are watching online the Chavette, this is one of the you know, I told you I'd seen some renderings of all of them. Yeah, it's it's

definitely cool. You should be able to see it on Facebook right now.

It's just going through those photos, it kind of looks like a taxi cab.

I'm just saying, like you could remake those cars, like you like some of the some of the things that they were, like, hey, let's remake it and put that name tag on it. I think you could

name something else. And again, thank you to Agamarado Digital for these photos.

We have to get them. So did you find the Gremblin the Gremblin,

Yeah, see Gremlin or Pinto the rendering the Gremlin Pinto. But like

I said, I mean, like okay, Viper is a perfect example of something new coming out. But it's just then it's nobody just called on to.

I think the price tag is reason why people you couldn't afford it.

I mean they were I mean, I want to see that car was like one hundred and some odd thousand, one hundred and fifty thousand or something like that when it first came out. What back in was that late eighties when

it first came out. Correct me if I'm wrong, somebody, somebody will

correct me. All right, NSSEX, Right, So Honda's NSX. People

still want them. They're kind of hard to find in good shape. I

saw one last year one of the auto garages that uh yeah gave it was like ninety thousand is what it was. Yeah, So basically how much was

the NSX when it first came out? The NSX was you know, it

was one of those cars if you were into you know, Honda and all that kind of stuff that obviously and they don't have to be into the Honda.

People wanted an NSX. I mean, it's just it was a and

it's still a cool car today still. Like I said, I saw one

last year at the garage was actually in a really good shape. There's one

run around here. It's red. It's really really nice. And then a

friend of ours had a black one about nine years ago. It was he

had a lot of work done to it and it was actually pretty cool.

But like I said, if you got a hands on one now, everybody want one of those if you're a car guy kind of person. So I'm

just talking about making those type of cars again, like making something that people actually want. I don't really see anything. And it's funny because when Nathaniel

and I were doing the sixty sixty, yeah we're doing the car. We

were doing the car, you know, buying crawls. We went from car

dealership of car dealership to look at Cothaniel. There just wasn't much out there.

Like even when you've got in some of the cars, you went, man, what am I really paying for it? But yeah, right,

there's it's a lackluster like that. Nobody really put any The outside of the

car might look cool, but the the inside was a lot of plastic.

It just seemed like it wasn't They didn't like they stopped on the outside of a carring together, you know what I mean. So I just think maybe

if we got back to that, maybe people have more passion for cars.

But then you have to go with what news tells you, right. Do

you think it's because all, you know, everything's already like process for us.

Basically everything's kind of like made by machines. I think that's why there's

like no love. Maybe. I think the biggest problem that we've we fall

into is what we talk about all the time, is people are getting away from cars and making them and they're just appointed to point b problem solve.

That's the reason why Uber and all that stuff's real big, you know.

I mean, like people just don't care anymore. So if they don't really

care and they're just a point, what's the point You're gonna make cars that you don't have to even drive, they can just carry you from one place another, Like robo taxis in California is like big. Even though they're trying

to put the brakes on it, people are using that. People don't care.

They're not buying cars. If they can use a service like that,

they have no need to have a car. Yeah, you know, you

just looks like last week push button it comes. It's like last week when

we were talking about you know, the Ford removing the parking thing to say ten dollars is that if nobody really cares, you know, right exactly, I've not going to miss it. What's what's the big deal? It's like.

So I think it's true because in the news this week they're talking about, you know, compact cars making a comeback. So all the car manufacturers

right this second. Uh, if you go and look, we're all looking

at concepts of compact cars and making a compact car gain a small car, and everybody says, what exactly is a compact car? A compact car,

you know is the small and I think a hundred cubic square feet is considered a compact car. That's it. I mean, that's that's what's considered so

tiny. But in everybody goes, oh with a smart car, and I

would know, no, no, no, that that was a very smart idea. Who's focusing on that niche everybody? So every manufacturer right this second,

for the most big man I don't have a concept compact car in the works because I think they're realizing, with people not caring really how they get from point A to point B, let's build something compact that's just a simple, simple, simplistic and it just that's it. It's movie basically, just

made a movie for one place, for another way. You want cheap,

we'll give you cheap. Right, here's a problem. I don't think they're

gonna be cheap. Think that's what's gonna be problem. I think they're gonna

be compact, and they're still gonna be really expensive because they're gonna load them up with all kinds of technology. Right, so they're gonna end up being

expensive. But is there a you know, is there a need for it?

Is that really what people want? But like I say, if you

go by the trend, the fact that people really don't care about what they're driving anymore. They just want to get to where they need to go,

maybe compact there is a market for compact cars to come back in, but they have to be priced right, Like you know, you guys hear me talk about all the time. The reason why we don't let Chinese cars into

America is because they have cars that like they're really cool look and they sell for nothing. So you know how that would disturb the economy if they did

that. So you know, they're never gonna make them really cheap again,

because you know, like back in the day, like a compact car was nineteen hundred dollars is what you'd buy one for back in the eighties, you know, I mean it was like nothing, you know, nothing for a compact car. You know, it's cheap you get a brand new one or

out to the dealer dealer floor and the blowout sales. I remember seeing always

the blowout sales people send me old the reason people said these old articles of car sales always the importact as serious by then, as you know, I don't know, I'm sure it had to be something, but still, I mean there was there was tons and tons of uh, just compact cars run around that well in the eighties. It is because of the gas wars,

right, So with that end of seventies early eighties, you know, because all the gas stuff that was going on, that's the reason why the need for the compact car came around. That's how handa slid in here became popular

because kinda had the time. What was uh was that the beat the B

ten? Somebody will tell me. I can't remember. I think that's what

it was. But it was a tiny, tiny, tiny little car and

it made his way well make got great gas mileage, you know what I mean. So of course there was that. You know why gas was a

problem. You had this little car that got great gas mileage. And then

people started buying them. I think it was it was D ten, B

ten, twelve, I don't know, maybe B twelves just to buy them and you take I'm just saying I remember it was one of those. And

the thing was like, I'll look it up, but you had you had all those. I mean, like I said, compact cars filled a need,

then maybe it fills a need now and that's how they you know, you come back to see a lot more of those. I don't think you're

ever gonna get away from the guys like me who like trucks and stuff like that, and the fact the truck sales are six hundred. Sedan what was

it was? It didn't hat to make a be a B ten either.

That's an engine? Is it the engine? That's an engine? Trying to

remember what the car was, I know it looked like that one right there.

What is that one right there? The picture of that yellow one.

Yeah, that's what I just said. That's end six. Is that what

it is? Yeah? Okay, so I know there's something and they made

a six hundred. I know they made a B something. I swear they

did. It's gonna drive me nut, somebody, Somebody tell me if you

all remember, I swear there was one. It was like a B something.

It's a small little Honda car. But uh, like I said,

I think you can get into that, and I think that you can kind of roll through that a little bit and make it work. But I think

what you'll do is you end up getting small cars with a lot of technology in them, and then that's going to raise the prices up and they'll be you know, they'll be expensive to have. But then you had to make

the choice do you want something small and they'll probably do like a crossover EV or something like that. You know, I mean, we'll be part gas,

part elector or maybe it'll all be electric car and it'll be small.

Everybody says, well, you know, they tried the smart car and that didn't But smart car was ugly, guys. I mean it was ugly.

I mean nothing. I mean, I don't. I don't. I don't

think it was the smartest idea. I don't. I didn't get it,

like maybe I was like everybody else. I think it's for like the US

market either, right, I think it's for more foreign markets. I think,

yeah, for you know, for cities that you know were you know, built you know, later in the centuries and stuff where you know, roads aren't maybe the otherways, yeah, you know, I don't know.

Like I always thought the smart car was supposed to be like a city car, But why don't you to make it so ugly? I mean, like

you're at least giving it the style. Curtis used to joke, you wanted

to get get me in one with his brother and see us try to squeeze into a small little one because we're all broad shoulder and stuff, and try to drive one. We never did it. I saw a lot of them.

I think I've only sat in maybe one, and it was because it was a customer brought in for me to look at something, and they were electrical nightmares, so we weren't touching those either. There's bad I can tell

you about some cars. You just don't want Like the fit Fit had had

electric issues too. It seemed like we were constantly working on those things and

you don't really see them around anymore. I saw two in like the last

month, did you Yeah, two in the last month that come in.

I'm like, no, I don't want to work on those. There's just

certain cars you know they have problems. Like there' certain cars you never want

touch because you know they're a problem vehicle. That was that was one of

them. There's tons on my list. Just ask me anytime. I'll write

them all down for you. It's it's funny how certain cars. I get

these conversations with people all the time. They're like, well, I got

this and you know it's got this problem. I'm like, just pick a

manufacturer. Nowadays, like just give manufacturer name and I'll tell you what they're

known that goes wrong on them. Every single manufacturer has a car that has

a problem. Like it's just if we know this is the problem on that

car. It's like the Pontiac, was it, the Grand am Grand Prix,

all those they all blue head gaskets, every single one of them, Like they just do you knew that was gonna happen? Like if you own

one of those cars, you know it's gonna blow ahead gasket, plan ahead, right, absolutely, plan ahead, And usually was right around about one hundred and fifteen thousand miles is when I had a head gasket problem on them.

I don't know why, but they be nice. The dealership told you

that. But like the these are the problems you should look out for this

at this amount of mind, we know our cars, Junkie, it has this problem. Well, you said every car has problems nowadays, right,

So it's kind of like you should know to a certain degree. You know

through you know through your testing wise too, what the problem is. We

are the test subjects, right Like people don't realize that all the tests they do when they release the card to us and they see what starts to fall apart on it, and they make note where the test where the test subjects.

We're actually testing cars for them. It's quicker for us to test things

let things go wrong, that is anybody else. So on that note,

guys, I got to take another commercial break. When I come back,

we got a little more phrase the whole tight and right back. You're listening

to Dave Polach on Let's Talk Cars Radio. Dave, We'll be right back.

Witlow and Sons Incorporated. Welcome back to Let's Talk Cars Radio. You're automotive

specialist. Now back to your host, Dave Polach. Hey, welcome back

guys. Hey, So, uh, during the course of break, I

was reading some of the comments and stuff that people were set over. What

I think the reason why the Chauvette get stuck in my brain all the times because my sister had a Chavette and I blew it up, Like yeah, I did. It went boom when I was driving it. Okay, So

I mean, come on, now, she had she had a Chavette and we went to go see a Blackhawks game in Chicago and on the way back, Uh, it went boom. Well it was probably because you know,

no oil or I don't you know, I don't really Probably probably because she drove it like a baby and I didn't drive that way back then, Like you know, I think to the middle I was like I think I think I was fifteen and a half. I don't think I was even sixteen yet,

and I was driving it back from the city, and uh yeah, times are different than there, you guys know. I mean like a lot

of us drove way before we had driver's license. You couldn't got away with

that now, But I mean back then, if you got pulled over, it was kind of like a take it home or pull it over and lock it up and you walked home. Right, don't do this again. Don't

do this again. Slap, slap, you know what I mean, Like

you're going to jail. Well what I told you me, I told you

guys. For me and Jeremy McCrimmon. Uh, he's a police officer now,

he probably shouldn't tell the story anyway. We he used to take his

dad's Bonnaville all the time out, like at late at night. I think

we were like fifteen. We used to go driving all over the place in

the Bonnoville I at night, if ever, everybody went to sleep. Him

and I just like just cruising. We'd roll it out of the driveway and

it was gravel. He'd be real quiet, rolled out of the driveway.

See, I don't know how you guys like I see all these people talking about, Yeah, we used to take our parents car and roll it out of the driveway. How my parents would catch me here in the first little

pedal, I mean move. I feel like it, you know, a

certain degree they knew to you know, some people way there's no way they knew. There's no way you And that was the reason why you see it

like it's funny, because it's it's it's in all the old movies, Like if you watch all the old like movies in the eighties and stuff like that that were like I think John Hughes movies and stuff like that, and not just his movies, but the movies they you always see him rolling the car out of the driveway. Why do you think that made it into movies because

it was like a really big thing to do then. And the way that

you got it back in the driveway was you came down your street a little faster and you turn the car off, you put it neutral, he rolled, he pulled right back on the drive when you stopped, and you put it in park, and that was it. And I'm not saying this is

a good thing. I'm just saying this that happened, less it happened.

That's what we did. We went crew. We used to go cruisse at

night all the time and then bring it back. And it's always the gravel.

Driveway is the hard part because everything you hear on gravel you can hear it rolling. So if they're like sleepers, it's a little harder to pull

off. So you gotta push, just saying and then down the street.

So here's a fire up. I'm trying to figure out how you guys lost

it, because like back in the days, people back in the days, y'all's parents didn't just go set the keys on counters and stuff. They used

to keep the keys in their pocket and you had to be crafty, had to be crafty stuff to be able to get those keys, and we must have been really deep sleep Nowadays, you couldn't do it because everybody's got like the ring and stuff. So the rings, as soon as you move a

car out front of the ring, cameras going off and telling me that somebody's out in your driveway. So it's a little a little harder to do nowadays

than it was back then. But I'm just saying, like I'm not saying

you should do it. In fact, you should not. Wait, wait,

I sud say you shouldn't do it. That's what I'm saying, you

shouldn't do it. It just it made into the movies because it was happening

so often. I mean, there's country songs about it, you know,

galore about you know, pulling up in your pickup truck and taking the girl for a ride while the daddy shoots the tailgate. And I can't remember that

song when he put up into the driveway and and his and the girl's dad was standing in the driveway, so he threw it in drive and pulled away and didn't know what he was doing. He didn't because he had a girl.

Can't tell you the name of the song, but but said it makes it, It makes it into songs, It makes it in the movies because you know that kind of stuff happened. But here's so, here's the thing.

It was. What was I thinking? Is the name of the song?

Is that what it was? What was? Okay? So did you

just look it up for somebody tell you? No, I know it because

the line goes, what was I thy? Okay? So all right,

but it's one of those the bride of Passage for driving and stuff like that was huge back then. Like I said, you've heard me talk about a

bunch of different times. We just don't have that now, you know.

I mean, there isn't that passion. So you guys won't have the stories

like we had the stories. I don't think like we have all you guys

know, I have tons of stories. We're gonna talk about one here an

in a second. I totally forgot until Somedy reminded me something about it.

But like, okay, your guys, the stories are not like Cameron story.

Right Cameron, you guys got pulled over an over last night? Right,

all right? So I talked the friend group into taking an Uber because

we always usually have a designated driver in the group, and okay, I just didn't want there to be a designated driver last night. I wanted everybody

to have fun, not just one person sitting to the sign. So he

took an Uber and one Uber prices are crazy, by the way, I told you, if you get in a hot spot, it is notice.

Yeah, it was fifty nine dollars to sixty two dollars one way. So

you know, we had to kind of work it out a little bit, but we were able to get our ubers down for the night the forty nine dollars all in total for three different ubers, but our last Uber got pulled over. Got pulled over for speeding. The one thing, So fast was

he going? They said he was doing a fifty five and thirty five.

Wow. I was watching the spedometer because, like I was telling you,

he was driving in the middle of the road and stuff. You know,

so I kind of already thought something or driving in the middle of the road.

I wasn't asking the questions exactly. I'm not driving. I ordered the

Uber as long as I get home, you're better than me. I I

pay like I pay attention to my Uber driver. Okay, when my Uber

driver's driving, I'm paying attention to what, like what he's doing while I'm in the vehicle. I was paying attention, but there was I felt safe

enough, even though he was safe enough for the Uber driver. But then

it gets into the left lane, and in my mind, I'm going, well, I've never gone this way before. You're the only one. I'm

not gonna lie. You're looking to make sure it was actually a Uber driver.

You got into got to a churn, and I'm like and I started thinking, I'm like, how does this get to my my route? You

know? And you know some Uber drivers do take the longer way because sometimes

you write more time, and you know, it just matters how the Uber systems working. That night, our life is down, like what's going on?

So it was down, and I turned to the side to look in the review mirror to realize, No, there's an officer behind him and he's being pulled over. Y'all didn't you did notice the lights? No? I

didn't until he stopped and I look because I usually anytime somebody gets into another lane, I just tuck my head forward just to kind of see, like, and that's when I saw the bright lights and I'm like, I looked at him, I'm like getting pulled. He's like, yeah, we're getting

pulled. Like, He's like, just stay calm. I had to start

messing with him. I'd have been like, dude, my friends and I'm

gonna run. I'm gonna start messing. I'm like, oh, they must

know I got a body in this bag, Like what is that thing?

Uh? I keep on seeing it's popped up a couple different times where it's

like, man, the hitchhiker gets put picked up, and then I was like, man, I can't believe you picked me up. You know,

how do you know that I'm not serial killer? The guy? The guy

goes, chance that he goes, the chances are being two silver serial killers in this car at the same time. It's probably slimmed to none. I've

got quiet. No. My favorite one is the Daughter where the guy gets

pulled over and the dodger's in the back seat going I got him poop.

The officers like, get her home all right? So that brings us as

perfect said. Wait, I got pulled over one time naked driving naked.

I know it sounds weird. There was no I was looking for a good

time, her party or anything like that. I we got caught in somebody.

We left. We left. There was a waterfall we used to go

swimming at, and we left the waterfall and I had a brand new car and I didn't want anybody in my car wet, and it was just me and my buddy. So the people that were in my back seat decided to

go ride with my friend because he didn't care. But my buddy I was

like, look, I was like, I'm gonnatrip down. Put a towel

around me. I was like, I'm not sitting in my car wet.

I don't I don't want to get my seats all wet. And he looked

at me. I was like, dude, like, if you're getting in

my car, you're not getting my car wet. So he like went around

the back to be able to do the same thing. We're driving, and

of course, being young and being dumb, you're not like we weren't obeying the steed limit because we just you just I guess you just didn't back then, and sure enough a state trooper pulled me over. And I'm like,

I don't even know how I'm gonna explain that. I mean, I'm I'm

wrapped in a towel, but I mean, like I'm I'm gonna like I would have made something up. I would have made something. So he he

walked, No, he walked up to the car, and he gets the car and roll down the window and he looks in. He realized, because

you know, the towels kind of it, doesn't you know, when he's trying to work the pedals, it's not like exactly, you know, covering all your legs. So he quickly realized he's like I'm not even gonna ask.

He's like, y'all need to slow down, just just and he was.

He was speechless. So then I started thinking to myself, I forgot

about the story, by the way, until somebody reminded me of what was he thinking? Right, I'm thinking way what was he thinking? And b

would this work in the future? Like if if? What if you get

ready to get pulled over here, start taking clothes off and throwing He just sit there naked behind the wheel. I mean, with that work? No,

it probably an image he'd never be able to get out of his head.

But would it work? I know, no, he wanted nothing to

do with us. I'm just gonna let you know it. Like he came

out and he was just like and he looked down. He looked over and

he's realized both of us basically were naked. Just asking question if I'm an

officer, I'm not asking questions for that. I'm literally looking at both y'all

and it's I'm jumping to one thought and I'm going, no, I'm good.

If you guys have fun, you guys do whatever y'all are doing.

But it was it was it wasn't even like that hold on I've gotta take quick course. I'm gonna leave you guys with that image for a second.

Y'all just kind of ponder that for a second and we'll come right back.

Cars Radio. You're automotive specialist. Now back to your host, Dave Polach.

Hey, guys, welcome back. So before we went to break,

we were talking about getting pulled over. Right, let me explain this so

it didn't sound odd. But yeah, I got pulled over and we were

naked. I mean, so, I it's a weird way to start the

conversation, man, like we were if you guys didn't catch the fit, you guys just tagged onto the end of it and stuff like that. I

was, I was younger, like I just didn't want my car to get wet. I just thought that it made sense to me. It didn't seem

like it was messed up. I didn't even think about it like I was.

It wasn't like you were like, let's get naked and everybody goes.

It was just like, all right, dude, pull up some one trunks, you know, threw them the trunk and then jumped in the car through a towel kind of over you and sat down and like with a car.

But it's not like we wrapped around like you know how girls wrap a towel around, you know, It's not like we wrapped the towe around kind of threw a towel over us and we went and I mean, my buddy understood I don't want my car wet too. I mean, it was a new

car. I mean I was, you know, I didn't want the seats

wet. The other passengers in the back seat didn't, like, no,

we're good, I'm not getting naked to get in the car. I'm like,

well, you ain't right into my car then, But I wasn't thinking about it, Like like when you say it, it sounds like it sounds like a sexual thing, but it's not. It's just like, I don't

want my car to get wet. I would do the same thing today if

I got wet. You would, I would, If I would, you

know I would if I got wet. I'm like, you're not getting in

my car wet, Like, take a swimsuit off, throw in the back of the truck. And because you're not gonna sit in my vehicle wet,

throw a towel, you know, dry towel around You're like, we're just not You're not gonna get my car wet. Everybody's done the towel thing,

though. I think everybody's like, put at least a towel around them.

I don't think we've gotten naked, but I think that we've all at LEAs put like a towel on us so we don't get our car. Well,

here's it soks through the towel. The wetness if you got wet trunks on

or whatever, it soaks into the towel and the towel soaks into your seat and it does. Do you not know what air dry is? You know?

I don't. My parents told me about air drying standing in the air

for five I'm gonna give you another one, all right, that came up this week. I didn't think about. I rode with someone where I was

dry. This is a girl. I was dry, and she was in

my back seat and she took her stuff off and then rolled the window down and then rolled it up to let it dry. Right, you know what

I'm talking about, you know, yeah, okay? And she was wrapped

in a towel, and then, of course, because of the speed I was driving, it went and then she didn't have anything to wear other than the towel, so like I had, which I couldn't stop laughing. I

thought it was a lot funnier than she did, obviously, And it's not.

We weren't dating or anything. She was just a friend of mine.

Like I told you, ice hang out Like when I was a kid, We hung out in big group. There's like three of us all we went

to the lake and stuff all the time. So but she's like, what

am I gonna do? I'm like, well, I don't know. Like

you're in a towel. I mean, you're stuck in the towel. Is

now your new home? That's that's stay in your lane of the towe.

That's where you need a Bobby Pitt make it worry. But like so,

it wasn't like adding normal to not getting somebody's car wet. I mean,

I was she understood when she had the same rule she was. I was

like, you're not getting my car wet. She's like all right, and

she went and then she wrapped up in a towel and was like we were friends. It wasn't like a big deal or anything like that. The thing

about it is what makes it awkwards when you get pulled over, and then you got to explain why everybody in the cars naga, right, there's no way this. I'm the only person that's ever happened to we decided to go

free slid today, you know why not? No, Like I said,

I there's no way I'm the only person's ever got pulled over naked I know other other people out there listening gotten pulled over naked, You're probably not.

No, I haven't got personally, I've gotten pool over, like, well, I'm doing stuff, but I haven't gotten pulled over naked. Well,

that's not pulled over, being pulled being in lover's lanett, knocked on the window. It's not the same thing as getting pulled over. That's a whole

other thing. I think I don't understand how people a lot of people that's

happened. A lot of well, just people get inspired. I don't know.

Like, look, I have a lot of stories. I can't have

a lot of stories. I cannot tell. But I'm just saying I can

then visualize when people bring things like oh yeah, I can see that happening, all right, I can see how that could happen. I'm not confirming

and denying that it's happened. I'm just saying I can say, definitely see

how that can happen. Long trips, yeah, long trips. Things happen,

you know what I mean. Like, I'm just I just want to

know what you do when you get pulled over and what you say. And

I'm thinking that naked is the new excuse I'm not, you know, forgetting out of a ticket. Just give it a try. Just take everything off

real quick. Why he's walking the car, throwing the back seat and just

sit there behind the wheel naked. We just steer for it. Don't even

make eye contact, like, yes, officer, there's a good chance you might just let you go. I think. So, here's a question.

Is it against the law to drive naked? Yes? No, I bet

it's not. I bet you it's I bet you it's not against the law.

You gotta probably do somewhat of trying to cover up. I can't see

you while you're in the car. It probably nudity is probably not illegal in

the car to be driving naked. Now, I know there's like weird laws

out there that you know, can't be naked on every second Sunday of a Tuesday. Like there's all those weird auto laws out there that make don't make

any sense. But maybe nudity is is Maybe we found the hack. Nudity

is the is the hack for not getting a ticket. Cameron's trying to research

her. Okick, I bet you some weird laws they do. They all

have you'all don't remember because before your guys time when we first started the show, we went through like all these laws, all these auto laws are stowing the books. There's tons of them that are like the strangest auto laws ever,

like you can't park your mule next to a car on the sidewalk and stuff. I mean, like just weird things. I mean, they're like

the strangest auto laws. You couldn't strap your wife to the to the to

the hood to have her clear the headlights or the windshield or something like that.

Like driving him, it was weird, weird because you see it's you know, it can be. It can be classified as public nudity, but

it's not because you're in but because you're in your car. That's right.

I knew it. I knew this can be. They can see you through

the windows. But if they can't, if they really can't, because you're

sitting down right, so all you see is top up, and it's it's not illegal to be topless. This is saying like if the officer opens up

the door, then you are technically but he exposed myself. Yeah, I

thought the hack, guys, the hack is new toy to get out of a ticket. You're going to jail force, you're going to tail for all

right, if you don't try it. We were young, but like I

said, he didn't know what to say. He was he was I've never

looked, of all the times I've been pulled over, I've never seen a state trooper speechless except this one time. Man, he was speechless. He

was just like, I'm not I'm not gonna ask. We laughed. We

couldn't stop laughing because I mean like it was like, you know, state troopers just have that presence, you know what I mean. They have that

doom and it like the song wouldn't have been that if it was a movie, it wouldn't have been doom too, doom. As he walked through my

door, it had been like that little little noise, like that's what it would have been when it Because he was speechless, try it. I didn't

tell you don't try it. I'm not telling you try it. I'm just

saying, maybe how do I do this? Maybe you ought to give it

a shot kind of possibly, but I didn't tell you to do it.

It could be a way to get out of a ticket. Look at some

of us really really need to get out of some tickets. I mean,

especially if you're out there doing some crazy stuff that might be the way to get out of tic and just be like, I was driving fast so no one could see me naked on my way back to home because I didn't want to get in an indecency. I lost all my yeah, yeah, yeah,

your size. I was going so fast the clothes blew off of me.

That's what it was, because that's gonna help. And then that's definitely

going to help. I was going so fast office through though I don't even

know where they went. He no, no, no. I I've been

pulled over a lot in my younger years, not my adult years, but my younger years, and I was always like, as every time I got pulled over, I was trying to think of something clever. I'm surprised I

didn't like hone in on that earlier. I'm like, last time I was

naked and I got out it, maybe I ought to get naked again.

Maybe that'll get me out of again. Only one thing, the only one

thing that's ever gotten me out of a ticket, because like you're always trying to make the officer laugh to have a good mood, was when he asked me, Hey, do you know why I'm pulling you over? And I

was like, because you wanted a photo and photo you wanted a photo, and he just looked at me kind of chuckled and said, drive safe.

I mean my license. I tried that was it? I mean, I

tried the donut approach, and that he did not find it funny once.

I thought it was comic. While I was young, I thought it was

funny. You know, I pulled you over today thought I had donuts in

here at the same time. Is funny. Though I thought it was,

it's still funny to be to this day. I mean, I thought it

was hilarious. I thought he would chuckle, and he did not chuckle too

fun he did. He gave me more than just a skinking ticket, but

I thought it was funny. I didn't use that one again. I turned

to my passion. I was like, can you believe that happened? He

really wanted to food, Like I said, I've trug I have tried some amusing things, and I said some things Andrew Dice Clay had a lot of the funny ones when I was a kid, the ones I would never dare try. But they were pretty funny too. If you've never seen that segment,

go look of Andrew Dice Clay and when he talks about getting pulled over in cars and some of the stuff, he says, it's hilarious. He

kind of explains how a foot to a gas pedal works, and you know, there's no Gabriele was the most funny, fluffy when he said, I don't know who was driving. He must have when he hopped in the passenger's

seat and the officer, and the officer was like, where's the driver?

Me talk about we did that when we were kids, when we were young, we did that. It was a group of my friends. We did

it. And when he pulled over, there was nobody behind the wheel.

I've told this story on the air, I'm sure I have. And we

did it. And here's how things have changed. All he did was make

us all get all of the car and gave us a really bad lecture and then we had to walk home that night. That would not happen nowadays.

Everybody like, but that was just how times it changed. Like I don't

know if officers just had a better sense of humor or understand I don't know.

Like back in the day, I remember several times being stopped by the police. Back in the day, and it was a completely different situation.

We've talked so much about officers in the few years that their guards up.

Okay, maybe maybe that's the case. I don't know. I am going

to hold a sense of humor class and then they break into ten and we'll all be back on the same page, right, I do a national sense of humorture for police officers. They get pulled out certificates by day. Yeah,

certificates by Dave for free, for free, free, free class.

No, no, not gotta make something. I'll be doing it all right,

guys. I gotta go ahead and get out of here. Enjoy your
