Let's Talk Cars You on w KQA Freedom Radio. I am your host,
Big DABP hanging out with Cameron Chaots and eight BB. It is Saturday.
It's a great day so far for a car show. I see that the
it's a little cloudy out there where we're at. Hopefully where you guys are
at, it's maybe sunny, but the rain has so far held out.
So if you guys are trying to get in a car show, here in the area. Keep your fingers crossed. Hey, don't forget. Tomorrow is
the Hepcat Honey's Uh Light Up the Night a car show. I think that
starts off everything everybody's packing in. What about four o'clock, I think is
what time that kicks off. They're gonna have a dunk tank out there for
you to dunk the honeys and uh, they're gonna have rewards and all kinds of stuff. I know that. Um, there's there's a bunch of different
vendors. I've seen this and popping up the Hey Salsa, the Aztec of
salt. Yeah, that's gonna be out there. They're gonna have, um
the candies is gonna be out there as well on J Candy Kane. J
Candy is gonna be out there. So seven Auto Events Mark, So it's
gonna be all set up out there. You guys are gonna want to hang
out with Heppcat Honeys and have a great time with them. They're all I
see. There's a list of I saw a bunch of pictures that they're gonna
be out there for people to dunk and uh, so it should be a great event to go out there and light up the nights. So if you
got some great lights and brights and cars and hot rods, get them all out there Landstown Common. You guys know where it's at out here in Virginia
Beach. If you guys are outside the area and you're listening, because I
know everybody listens nationwide. Not everybody can make it, but hey, if
you do want to kind of take a little ride and you want to travel a couple hours on over and come hang out with us, It's for a great cause of raising money for charity. So definitely come out and hang out
with us. So I wanted to get that out there because we know we
support all of our local stuff and stuff outside the area we can invite too as well. So um, I wanted to mention that before I forgotten.
So it is at three three one two Princessan Road, starting at four pm and ending at nine pm tomorrow for the Heppcat Honeys Hot Rode three Light the Night Car Show. I do plan on trying to get out there. I
know everybody's like, are you going to You're going to going? My plan
is to try to get out there. I have something else to schedule it
a little bit of a conflict there runs right up to the time that it starts, so I'm hoping that it ends and we get enough time to get ourselves out there as well. So hopefully we will see you guys out there,
because my plan is to get out there and show our support. So
it's I told you guys, I got a lot of things that backs up.
Everything kind of backs right up against things, and I'm trying to be everywhere. But it's been kind of crazy, and it's been so hot a
lot, you know, it's been kind of slow for the last what two weeks really with some things people really haven't really wanted to do a whole lot.
With the temperatures, I don't blame it, and like one hundred and ten degrees. It seems like a lot of places, something like somewhere out
here has been like ninety four degrees, but then with the humidity feels like it's like one hundred and five. I mean, it's crazy, So I
don't blame it. But we'll starting to come back around where the temperatures will
start falling back in the line as we fall into August, and everything will start getting loaded up and they'll be a bunch of different shows are really packing in again, so hold on tight. You guys know it's gonna come around.
He'd be crazy. Um if you guys did not hear, I did
not hear. Courthouse Cafe did open back up yesterday. They did at eleven
am. They are not doing reservations right now, they're not doing to go
orders, so they're just trying to get back into the swing of things.
But go check them out. We supported them, we did. We did.
So if you guys have been missing a good prime rib, a good steak, good anything y'all know out here in Chestpeake, Courthouse Cafe great great local spot after the fire. They are finally back open. So I'm excited.
I was think about going over there for dinner yesterday and I went.
I think it's gonna be slam business. So I'll wait for the initial rush
to wear off a little bit and then I will settle back in and start going to my favorite place to go eat. But we are so happy that
they are open back up here in the community and I can finally go over there and sit and dine again. So I'm great grateful that everybody who did
get involved in supported them. Like I said, we did our event and
it was great to be over there and hang out with them. Um,
but yeah, they're all back up, so do not forget to get your butts back over there and start filling that place back in. And uh,
I'm sure they'll have no problem because there even before anything ever happened, that place was always busy, busy, busy, great attitude, great people, just a great community place to go to. So anyway, let's jump into
some car stuff. You guys ready, ready, all right, So you
guys know Uber Lift, all that stuff is uh, it's great to have when you need it. Okay, I use it. I mean if I'm
on vacation, I use Uber, I use Lift, I use all of them. We've talked about it's getting really expensed. It is getting extremely expensive.
It seems like the rates, and you know, I've been a couple of different places where I'm like, okay, I need to grab an Uber and then of course they have like what they call event rates or they're they're hot spot areas and stuff. And you know, Nathaniel and Cameron, I
you know, when we were we've gone to a couple of different shows that we've been invited to go to in different states and or big events, and when we're at the events, it's their hot spot area. And now it's
like seventy dollars to go like three miles up the road because it's considered a hot spot. And I'm like, I'm not paying seventy dollars to go three
miles. I mean, I'll walk the three miles like a twill. But
how about if you jump in an uber you just grab your Uber, you jump in an Uber, you do your ride, you get done, and every do you think everything's fine, and you pull out your card to go pay for something else and your car gets declined. You're like, why is
my car gotten? It's been declined? Why is my card declined? And
all you were doing was buying a cup of coffee. You're like, don't
give me a cup of coffee. My card is declined. So then you
call on your wife and all of a sudden, no, no, you're with your wife. So Austin, You're like, like, why, what
in the world's going on? Kind of find out that Uber ran thirty thousand
dollars on your card. Yeah, this happened to a couple. It took
an Uber ride and Uber ran them for thirty thousand, now, I will give it. I guess Uber did hear the matter up pretty quickly, but
it was pretty quickly. They this is the story I heard, and I
think this is the same story. There's a couple. The couple went to
Australia and yeah somewhere and you know how it was conversion different somewhere closer called their bank and let them know, hey, we're going on vacation in which you should do, by the way, which I shouldn't, and put in a travel notice into their bank. When they took an Uber from the airport,
Uber accidentally charged what was supposed to be thirty thousand and their currency to convert to what I think they said, like twenty or thirty dollars in our currency, but accidentally charged them the full price in the United States currency.
So then they called Uber. Uber said that it was their banks problem.
So then they called their bank and the bank said that they had to release the payment, and then Uber was like, well, we already released the payment, but it takes seven days to go back to your account, and they're like, what do you mean it takes seven days to go back to my account. This wasn't my fault. So now seven days, I should
get a seven day interest rate, so you should leave Bang a thousand.
Now. I remember like when all the services first came out, and we
remember because we were I mean they were first, they were new first.
I used it and stuff, and you know, it just seems like it was yesterday when they really started popping up, and they were very convenient and the prices were great. I mean I was just like, I cannot believe
I can go from here to here for like I made much for nothing.
I mean, it just seemed like the rates were reasonable. I can't really
say that the rates are reasonable anymore. I'll be honest with you the last
and I'm not bashing them. I think that they serve a purpose maybe when
the rates or maybe the rates are good at times. I'm just not catching
them. Maybe that's what it is. That's just my opinion. But the
last two trips i'd taken, I jumped in taxicabs because the taxicab was cheaper than the uber. Yeah, the last two trips that we could take,
for like the longer it is or the shorter is, you're probably going a short distance, right, I wasn't going too short of a distance. I
mean I was going less than five miles. I was one of less than
five miles. Yeah, that's pretty short though for you know a ride.
No, no, it is, but like I said, I mean it was less than five miles, and the taxicab was cheaper to take me there than the Uber was. Because I've noticed that, like when you tell you
Uber and stuff like you know, just going a short period of distance and stuff, they're so charging like the full amount when a ride would cost.
Now you can't get a ride for lesson you know. In the beginning,
Uber and lyft popped up because taxicabs were beating you over the head. But
there's were I mean, taxicab rides were ridiculous. And you all remember remember
that we went taking We took a taxicab ride and it was so crazy.
And then that's how I end up discovering really Uber. It took Uber back
it was like twelve thirteen dollars or something like that versus the fifty five dollars ride that we took whatever. It was crazy. So that's how I ended
discovering it, and I used it for a while, but now we're it's in certain situations. Just me, Like I said, I mean, you
guys may have different experiences, but this is how it's been lately. It
has been the reverse. The taxicab for me has been cheaper than taking the
uber. I'll pull it up. It gives me the uber right and it's
like, oh, fifty two dollars to go five miles. So I'm like
fifty two dollars. Like, I'm going five miles off the road. Now,
keep in mind these are vacation destination places and hot spots and stuff like that. But then then the taxicab pulls up, I'm like how much.
He's like, oh, it's twenty dollars. I'm like, let's go.
Why would you know? Why am I gonna sit here and wait for an
uber for fifty two bucks and I can go twenty dollars right here, You're gonna take it and we're gonna go. I mean, it just makes more
sense. So when I saw the thirty thousand dollars mistake the story, I
was just like, oh, now here's the thing. Most people are like,
well, that would never happen to me because my card would never allow that to go through. Well that's good for you, But there's a lot
of people, there's a lot of people who's card will I mean yours, will mine, will mine. It's not that I'm like, my mine will
definitely ring through, so I mean, and then have to fight. That's
the that's the only thing that bothers me. Like, so I bought car
parts and had mistakes where they've ringed me out for ten thousand dollars on a part that I think I paid a thousand dollars for and then I have to, like, for fifteen days fight to get that back. I mean,
this is an issue because it's like you have to fight personally. Nobody's fighting
for your money, is, you know. So it's like they already got
what they wanted, so then you're over here trying to get you know, your money that got it does and then you know it brings me around to you. I got in a conversation this week about people like, oh,
well, you know, I like to order car parts online, and I like to do this and that and stuff, and I just I get into order and all that stuff you know online. I'm like, that's fine.
I've ordered car parts offline too, but I try to order a lot of my car parts here in town with people like no, and the reason why is how many times have we heard the story where people order car parts online, they come in and they're wrong, and then you gotta worry about shipping them back and then or they come in the pr you know, the prices, different prices different, but you got it for it doesn't know that it didn't imply and the stuff. And I'm like, there's just so many variables.
I can't count all the stories. Like I let's see when I was
back and I was in the car business and people are well, I'm going to order in my own part, and I'm like, I really prefer you don't do that. And they think it's because I'm trying to get over and
like, well, I can get it for cheaper here. I'm like,
well you can, but I don't disagree with you. If I order the
part, obviously i'm gonna have a markup on the part. There's I mean,
I'm just going to because that's how business. You can get the part
cheaper, absolutely if you order that part in, But then the part would come in and it was wrong, right, And there's no guarantee on that part unlike what I have. I have a guarantee for that of charge.
That's right, they're like, well, it comes with a warranty, it has all that dada. I'm like, okay, it does, but what
happens if it fails? Then I gotta take the car apart, back apart,
And you're not you're gonna pay me to take the car back apart because this is not my part warranty, get a package, no warranty exactly.
So there is there there is upsides and downside that a lot of people don't realize. It's one thing if you order the part online and you're doing your
own work, and that's your own labor, and that's your own time, and that's all that kind of thing that may work on that side. But
if you're trying to order a part online and then pay somebody to put it in, and that you take your car to the A pair of shop.
They take the car part and then the part looks like it almost matches, it's very close and you can't tell. And then something's just a little bit
off and now they got the car part. Now the cars on the rack.
They got to hopefully the car is able to be rolled off the rack.
They pushed out into the part. The right part comes in. If
it's not if it's one of those parts where they had to take the car part and the car can't roll because you had to take a bunch of things apart to get that part out, and now the car can't be pushed out of the way. Now it's stuck on the rack. Now you gotta figure
out, okay, is does time apply for that car sitting and tying up the rack until you can get the new part, or now I have to get the part in town so I can get that car off my rack.
Right now, you are buying the part for me because I can get it out because I can't wait four days or two days for whatever it is for that part to come in from out of town. There's just a lot of
things to go into that. And like I said, that conversation opened up
this week kind of in talking with people that you know, everybody I know, the owned shops and stuff like that, and then people get frustrated, and that would be the customer. Like I said, you know, I
have different people listen to the show for different reasons, but on the customer side, it kind of opens up that dialect on the customer side where the customers feels like it's a raw deal on their side, and it's not because a lot of times we try to say, please, don't order that part of line. And this is the reason why we're trying to stop you before
we got to that part of ordering that part of line. And yeah,
there might have been one hundred dollar savings, but is it really one hundred dollar savings at the end of the day. At the end of the day,
it isn't because you got to take that part send it back. Sometimes
there's a fee to send it back or not. And then you got to
play that game and you gotta wait, and you lost all that time.
You could have just had your calls. He went with the cheaper rand.
So and that note, guys think about that. Sometimes on order online,
hey may work out for you on certain ends, but if somebody else is doing the work, it may not work out. And those are some of
the problems we run into. I gotta take quick commercial break. Let me
come back. We're jump into it. AI, Man, this is getting
crazy. I know you guys see it all the news for bunch of different
reason, but now it's really starting to affect into the car world and you're gonna find out why hold titan. I'll talk to you soon. You're listening

Talk Cars Radio, your automotive specialist. Now back to your host, Dave
Palach. Hey, guys, welcome back to the show. Hey, it's
kind of funny. So on commercial break we are talking about the new Corvette
for what the twenty twenty four Corvette and the fact of the prices are going up. So here's the thing that kind of figured because of they thought they
could set it for sixty four, you are going to get for sixty four, we're going to get about ninety. So the base the base model Corvette
and new Corvette, it's like sixty seven ninety five. Ye okay, So
I would jump in it on the base model. I would because I don't
need all care of. I don't need all the I don't need all the
crazy fancy stuff number one. So I would just sign up to get a
base model, and then, like I told Nathaniel, I would just go ahead and buy like a three or five thousand dollars supercharger system and just throw it on it, you know what I mean, And that would be all I'd really want. If I want to do something crazy with it, I
would buy set of aftermarket wheels for it. I don't need like the crazy
one hundred and nine thousand dollars one. I don't need that one. So
the Sting ray is gonna be the I don't have the actual article up, but I think it's one hundred and nine thousand for the The E ray or whatever it is ray is gonna be like one hundred and four. And if
you want the zero six motor with the six hundred fifty horse power, it's gonna be one hundred and nine for base. That's not including options. Right.
If you want the convertible, it's gonna be a seven thousand dollars increase.
Right. I could make crazy. I think I seriously could make um.
I could may the I could buy the bass model. Oh look they
let there be light. See another light coming in the studio. Um,
I seriously think that I could make the take the bass model and just do a bunch of my stuff to it and still make it fastening the options though I don't. I don't. You wouldn't have talked about this, for I'm
not into having like a bunch of crazy options in the car, because I'm buying the car for like the look in the in the quickness. I don't
want to have tons. Just give me some AC. Make sure it's got
and it's gonna have the baseball, is gonna have AC power windows, all stuff. I don't need all the crazy electronic stuff in it. And if
I want that, let's just say I want like a killer stereo system.
I don't want the Corvette stereo system. I just don't want that. I'm
gonna take it down to sound wave and I'm put something in that, you know what I mean. The audio. I agree with the audio. You
know, those bass stuff to come with even you know, you get different options and stuff. No, not as best as you know if you went
and got your personalized audio kit. But I do feel like some of the
options, you know, like the sensor for the cars wise and stuff.
I feel like sometimes I do add up to the price I think that they sell it. I have to take the look at it because I don't know.
I'm not. I have not read up on the Corvette and all the
different stuff, but I think the base model is probably gonna come with most everything I need that i'm gonna want on it. And then I'm because I'm
gonna make it more like a fun play track kind of car kind of thing, so I don't think I need all the crazy crazy stuff on it.
And I know myself enough to know that if I'm really gonna play with it, like if the brakes aren't what I want, I'm gonna put aftermarket breaks on it. I'm not. I don't. I'm not gonna want like Corvett
break stuff on I'm gonna put an a market break system on it. So
if that's part of the upgrade, I'm not worried about that. If it's
electronical goody goody stuff inside of the car, I'm gonna care about that stuff.
If it's upgrade at like seats or something like that, I'm not really worried about that either. I just want those the body shape of the car,
the motor, if the motors, he just wants the motor. If
the motor, if the difference is one hundred and fifty horsepower difference in like the base model and the souped up model, I could make that. I
can make that with throwing some go go fast parts on it, you know what I mean. Don't give me a push to start right and just like
give me. It's like, look, I'm gonna buy I'm gonna buy a
kid. I'm gonna take. I'm gonna take the kid. Either throw it
on and once I throw it on, I'll take it down to Domestics or in Virginia beach and I'm an let him put it on a tune and i'mnna let him set it all up and they could go fast. I mean,
like you know, I mean, you're gonna keep it for a while.
I'm like, I literally like have thought about a couple different times, like because some of the stuff we have is almost getting closer and done, and I told you guys, like this is we get stuff done. I kind
of want a newer car. Newer car too. I don't want I want
I want the old stuff, but I want something new. Too, and
I thought, I'm like, okay, well the camera is just about you know, we're done with that, you know what I mean? And payments
on tractors are getting ready if you done, I'm like, that free does some money. I'm like, because I keep myself on a budget on things,
you know what I mean. So I'm my guys budgets come up,
I'm like, oh, that frees up some money. Like I told,
Don's like, can we take some of that and put that towards like, you know, maybe buying a new new you know what? I like,
can I buy myself? Because I am I'm very budget conscious when it comes
to things like I don't like to step outside certain certain boxes. But I'm
like as boxes close up, You're like, okay, that freeze this up, and I'm like, can I take that? I'd like to take that.
Play. So sixty seven thousand on a new Corvette, I would sign
up because I know I'm probably not gonna get it for two years. It's
gonna take that long. I'm being facetias, But I know people that waited
a year and a half to get one. So I'll just sign up and
get one. We'll sign up start in July twenty seventh. Right, So,
well for the base model, So I mean I would I would just sign up and start making payments on it, now you know what I mean, and just off what put like twenty thousand down on it and then just go ahead and just start making payments toward and just you know, and just roll. I don't know, you guys tell me what you guys think,
but I think that would be like, you know, a solution and then just have it. And like I said, no, when it comes it's
the base model, you want it to go faster. Buys just a really
really nice speed kit and just go ahead and do it. That's what I
would, Kurtis said, Corvette, no Dodge. Yes, I'm just I'm
just saying, like I mean, well, so Kurt knows. You know,
Kurt went through the whole Dodge stage. He owned like every single one
there was to buy, you know, but he did. He went through
the minute. Can we talk about when he used to come over at nighttime
and sit in the garage. Yeah, okay, okay, So Kurt had
the bug. Kurt had the bug bad. So Kurt bought his first SRT
and then hit it because he was buying it as a gift for his wife, and I think he had the bug. And then what he did is
he bought it for him and he kind of bought it for his wife, and then he bought it for his wife, but no, he was gonna be able to drive it, so he hit it. So he hit it
in my garage for like what like a month, and so she wouldn't see it because he bought as a gift. It was right around Christmas time,
so he put it in my garage. But he was so ate up with
it when he first got it. He couldn't like he we had to leave
work for him to go home in the middle of the day or go to my house the middle of the day to go sit in the car, and started up in my garage and play room room with it in my garage and then rubbed the steering wheel. So that was the first one. Then he
really caught the bug. He had that one, and then he traded that
one up to another SRT challenger that it was the was the I think that was the You'll have to tell me the year, he remembers, so I don't remember the year, but I think the first one was a twelve and I think he traded to what a sixteen, and then he went and got the SRT charger and then he had both of them for a while. So
he he caught the bug bad. So he was like, you know,
he just yeah, he would he he had a but the stick was Chevy.
Okay, let me just tell let me just tell you, I wrote, I wrote with Cairo with Kurt. We were on the freeway, and
I wrote with Kurt in it and you want to talk about drop a gear and disappear. That man like invented the term on that car for himself.
Like we were just rolling and that man just dropped it down and punched it and a thing just literally like dropped lit the tires up and just and we were already rolling like sixty and he just he just dropped it down. It
just smoked the tires too. Yeah. But but you know if you,
Kurt said, yeah, all you gotta do, Yeah, all you gotta do is drop down into like come back down like the second let that let eat. Let it eat. And he let it eat and we were we
were gone. That thing would just disappear, Like I said, he was
ate up with it. I mean, but he said, the hell cap.
Yeah, yeah, but he was. He was ate up with it
in a good way. But here was the thing. Kurt would honestly tell
you he was never really truly a muscle car He liked, he appreciated muscle cars when they came into the shop and stuff, but he was never really a muscle car guy. Like I think he had his he had a Camaro
for a while. I think it was a Camaro when we were uh,
while all of us were younger, he was driving around a Camaro I think right out of high school, I think is what he had and stuff, but he was never really like it was just a car. And then he
drove his dad's Corvette before he was even before he was even had a driver's license. I think he was like fourteen driving around his dad's Corvette, driving
his dad around like from like bar to bar and the Corvette. But he
was never truly a muscle car guy. But made him a muscle car guy
truly was getting that first, really, this is my muscle car. This
thing's bad, this thing's fast. And he was ate up with it for
a while because he was always kind of a truck guy. This had a
Dodge Power Ram that was really nothing special, but it was something special.
Anybody who ever gets ahold of a Dodge power Ram and really uses it for what it's used for will fall in love with with that vehicle. Those things
are just down right will take a beating. Kurt took it hunting, He
took it everything. That thing. That thing take a beating. It was
just a cool vehicle. And anybody ever owns one of those will appreciate those.
Another person had one, Dan Craig, my buddy Dana died. He
had one too, And it doesn't look like anything special. And to you
take one of those things and truly use them in four wheel drive and use them for what they're used for, and they'll take a beating. It's it's
not a muscle car, guys, but that vehicle. For my guys out
there listening to show their truck guys stuff I got. You guys know what
I'm talking about with those in both those vehicles will take a beating. And
if you ever own of those, you become one of those guys, you know what I mean. And it's the same thing for a muscle car.
Once you own a muscle car, you become a muscle car guy. Like
you just can't. You can't get away from it. And I know Kurt
still got the itch he's got. He's he got away from the muscle cars
for a little bit. Now he's back to having trucks again. But I
know the man still got the itch because he went and bought his son in El Camino. So I know, so I know, and and yeah,
so I know he's still got the itch because what you can't get rid of that itch. And I'll bet money, I'll put money on the table that
Kurt will own sub Theme Muscle carsh car Ish again once he gets settled.
You know, he's got a lot of things going on. He's been real
busy. His shop has been super super busy. They're getting ready to expanded
that big, huge new shop, which is great. I'm so proud of
him, just knowing that he's finally the dream that he's been thinking about his old is coming around and they're gonna be that nice, big, huge shop.
So um, you guys stay tuned that we're gonna be doing some things with that. But he's still got that itch. I guarantee he's still got
that itch and he'll end up owning Suck Theme. You know, he he
leans towards the dukes of hazard doesn't. Yeah he does. Yeah, he's
he's he's got an itch for those so but yeah, he's got the itch.
It has not gone away. I'm telling you, I'm absolutely telling you,
and I know we are talking us to talk about the AI invasion in this this segment, and we got a little off track. So let me
take commercial break, and when we come back, I swear, I swear I'll tell you guys about a little bit of AI. So hold tight.
I take commercial break. When we come back, I'll tell you about what's
going on with AI. I'm telling you, guys are not gonna want to
miss about the AI because this is a true uh invasion. Uh. And
you guys are gonna agree with me, so hold tight. Right back.
You're listening to Dave to launch on Let's Talk Cars Radio. Dave will be
right back. Okay, guys, it's time to change up Liberty's commercial.

Radio. So for the last two years, if you listen to the show,
you've heard me talk about my dream house. It has been a great
experience buying land, building my house, even selling my old house. One
thing I didn't tell you about was the real estate agent that I used.
I used Bopparten from the Perfect House Team in the real estate room. It's
been one of the best experiences I've ever had. Bob has been there for
us from beginning to end and treated us just like family. I'm telling you
you've heard me talk about this because it has been one of the truly best experiences that I've had. If I did not choose Bob, I don't think
that I would have all the best things to say about building this house.
So if you're looking to buy or sell a home, definitely give Bob a call at the Perfect House Team in the real Estate room. You can contact
Bob at seven five seven four six four zero zero three. That's seven five
seven four six four one zero zero three, and I'll talk to you soon.

Incorporated. Welcome back to Let's Talk Cars Radio. Your automotive specialist. Now
back to your host, Dave Palach. Hey, guys, welcome back.
So as promise I won't get off rails. This time's jumping to the AI
technology. So you guys know that AI is, like guess what's telling you
guys, is in the news everywhere, right, I mean it is.
It's being dealt with in Congress right now. It's all over what's adopted in
multiple category it is. And so you know they're trying to figure out how
to put a cap on it and how we're going to control it. And
we should obviously because the growth of it is pretty scary worldwide as far as what it can do. You guys see right the second the actors are on
strike. As you guys know, our youngest son, Hunter is a child
actor and it affects him in a lot of ways because of the strike.
So, and I'm a Netflix bene watching so kind of watch reruns. You
know, AI is everywhere. You know, everybody's trying to figure out,
you know, how we move forward with having AI technology and what we should let it have control of and what we shouldn't have a control of. Well,
how does that affect automobiles? This is pretty crazy guys. So as
you know, and if you just look around in your city, doesn't matter where you are, you see more and more cameras going up. You guys
really don't know what the cameras are for. A lot of people suspect they
leave what the cameras are for. They're like, oh, that's a traffic
camera, or that camera is a surveillance camera for this building or whatever.
A lot of times those are actually government activated cameras that are actually watching everything.
It is a new technology we've talked about on the show before that they are monitoring. Instead of putting police out is much enforced. They're actually using
camera systems to monitor neighborhoods, big cities, all that through cameras. What
they do is is if you've been following it, and there's been a lot of talk about this with the Body the last two months, I would say, you see more and more now they have camera systems that are monitoring the city, and they can actually send drones out instead of not when nine one one calls come in, instead of sending a police car, they'll send a drone and a drone will fly out to where that call is at and it will look to see what's going on before actively a police car will go out that way, they'll know they can survey the situation before the police car hits the scene, right, Okay, So because the cameras are going to be
able to see a lot more from an aerial view than a car can actually see as it drives up on a location. So with AI technology, AI
has what facial recognition, all that kind of stuff. So as you start
to get loaded into systems and they start taking and this is one of the things that they're talking about within the actors because once they have your face and your likeness, they're able to identify instantly all the time. How does that
affect automobiles. Well, it's kind of interesting. They want to start doing
the same thing with cars. So let's just say, and we do.
You can't just say, because this is exactly what does happen. You take
the same path home from work every single day. Okay, I know I
take same paths I travel. If I need to go out to the grocery
store, or I need to go, say across town to go get a haircut or whatever it is, I'm going to take the same route from my house to that place. Mostly all the time, unless I have to take
some other travels to go someplace. Let's say I decide I want to go
to the grocery store, or I need to stop at the hardware store or whatever. I may take a different route, but for the most times,
I'm going to take the same route to every single thing I go to.
You guys would agree upon it, right, yeah, Okay. The camera
notices that my car passes it all the time, so it starts to recognize my car. It starts to recognize my license plate, and then it identifies
who owns that car, and then it identifies me because it knows that I'm the owner of that car. So then the camera starts to keep a computer
that's how AI works. Starts to keep a record of how often I travel
that route, and it completely keeps a record. This car passes this building
daily exactly at these times, pretty regularly, and it's keeping a log.
And as it keeps that log, it builds a database on me. What
kind of database? How often I change lanes? Do I use my blinker
when I change lanes? Do I come to a complete stop at the stop
light before I make a right hand turn? And if I'm not how often
am I breaking those laws? What is it gonna do with that information?
Well, it takes that information and then takes can report that information back to the police department. So it builds a profile on me how often I obey
traffic laws. So now when I get pulled over, there's could be a
profile when the police officer pulls over, how safe of a driver I am and how often I follow the laws. That's one invasion as far as I'm
concerned with privacy, And that's something that we're talking about starting to fight because is that fair? Do you guys agree that's that's a fair outlook, that's
just one of the things they're gonna do. Yeah, well, I think
at a certain point, right, we're gonna start getting into, like, you know, different laws that kind of like draw a line between both sides.
Right, So I feel like, you know, it's a good thing because it helps society. Right, we need we kind of need it.
We need this technology to move society along. And then that's the right way
to be using that. Yes and no. Right, So like you have
good everything can be good or bad. It just really depends on how it's
used. Right, So, like that's what we need laws in place to
you know, say what's right and what's wrong and stiff it should I think at a certain point it should. You know, it should help drive traffic
along it. You know, you know there is no traffic held up.
Why Okay, So I understand using it for that purst. But you know,
you just got you gotta draw the line of sand where you know, you're not a vayme privacy. You're just using it to help society instead of
China ticket you know, people from there to Okay, so there were tickets.
So here's where we go with it. Here's the second side of it.
So as it builds a database of everybody that's out there and the patterns that they drive, they've talked about using it to better traffic. I'm for
that, okay. So we need to extend this light a little bit longer
during these times so traffic can get through these intersections. Everybody knows. We
come to certain intersections during the part of the day and we're sitting there and there's not a lot of cars passing the other way, and we're like, why isn't this light turning quicker? There's no reason for us to be sitting
here. I'm for using it for that, the AI figuring that out so
traffic can move quicker, all for that. So does that make me a
hypocrite because I'm going, okay, I'm all for using AI for that type of technology. Here's where I get a little bit miffed and I get irritated
because they want to also use it. Where if they start seeing a pattern
of okay, on the corner of Jackson in Mississippi, Okay, we notice that everybody tends to go around that corner and knock, come, complete stop.
We can generate fifty thousand dollars today if we just go ahead and turn on the camera to start issuing automatic tickets. So right there on that corner,
turn it on and use that. I looked up an article about those
traffic cameras right right. You can't have more than ten traffic cameras that you
know, charge money wise and a vicinity of like the citywise as well as you can only have one traffic camera in an intersection per ten thousand people.
I got you. So that's why you don't really see them on every block.
You heard about that one in Chicago that's like the biggest generator one like ever that they have that just generates money. Crazy, really, I can't
remember a camera might be able to pull it up. I know he's over
there messing with the Peter. But there's one. There's one. There's a
traffic camera in Chicago. It's like one of the biggest traffic generators. That
there is a money you generators or there is, and it's been the scope of conversation forever. And I feel like with AI technology, we're gonna end
up in that same situation. Because let's just say, as a city,
let's just say you need to get you want you know what, It'll be great to have two hundred thousand dollars to throw at a project, right, hey, just turn that that camera on the corner of such and such, Just turn it on and let it run for four days, and we'll generate that money real quick. To answer your question, real quick, Chicago has
over one hundred and sixty yet speed cameras that issues a ticket every eleven seconds.
It has issued over eighty nine million dollars in revenue since last year.
If that doesn't say something, so be scared. Now, imagine hooking AI
technology to this where it starts to like I said, starts to track your patterns, and it knows where it needs to put the camera and turn it on the most to catch the most revenue. And let's just say you can
turn the camera on and off when you need to generate revenue. Hey,
we decided that we want to go ahead and fix the baseball yelds. We
need and we need five hundred thousand dollars to do it. Turn that camera
on. Let and they can just do it because the math is easy.
Right, we know how many people because by the AIS technology is gonna tell us how many people mess up on that corner. If we turn it on
for two weeks, we can generate five hundred thousand dollars. They turn it
on, just let run get the five hundred thousand dollars to turn it back off. Well, you're talking about you know a couple of shows ago wise
you know who with these auto automatic cars right and so autonomous cars cars right side? Who do we charge the bill if we're not driving? Wise?
Right? So like if you have all these traffic cameras come around and stuff,
are we charging? Is it on us? Or is it on the
man's on you? It's gonna be on you, just like it's gonna be
just it's like if the dog bites somebody. If your dog bites somebody,
you didn't bite the person, but you're responsible for your dog biting the It's the same thing. So I hate that analogy because being an animal person,
but it is like, it's like, why I didn't bite yeah, but your dog baby, you know, but while you stepped inside my yard, but the dogs do you know what I mean? It's that yeah, I
mean you have control of your dog, but you don't have really control of your car, right because it's programmed a certain way. Well, okay,
I agree with you, but it's gonna be the same thing. It's because
of the fact they want cars to rome. Remember how we talked about cars
to go run errands after it takes you to work, right and your grocery you can go pick up your groceries, take your dry clean, all that kind of stuff. They want to program cars to go be able to go
do all that stuff. I want to show people with something real quick just
on how this technology actually works. Okay, so if you're on Facebook Live,
you're going to see a video pop up on your thing, and you know, actually start to see how this traffic camera starts to work. As
the cars are moving by, you can see that the boxes are highlighting cars that are now tracking your everyday movements, right, so these are now reading your license place going on the screen right now you can see the traffic moving.
It highlights every card. It's not going to start reading faces seeing if
you're a wanted criminal. And it sends all of this information to a traffic
controller which relays them from nation to any requister. Yeah. So they,
like I said, the AI technology is absolutely crazy the way they want to use it. And it's just gonna take information and data. Like I said,
it has as good and as bad. Will it be able to identify
the criminal drives by that corner every single day? Sure, it absolutely will.
But it's also going to be able to identify the fact that you didn't use your turn signal, that you're not stopping for that. And I think
that's the scary part because it's that is a money generator. It just generates
how many cars? Like so I think it used to be um I can't
remember, but we did a cost analysis and movement of people analysis and stuff like that for a business that I was involved with years ago. And I
want to say it was forty three thousand cars one in front of the building a day, you know what I mean. So that's a lot, right,
So when you think about you and you really don't, you're like, how is that even possible? You never realize that's how many cars go in
front of a building. But when you start to think about it, you're
like, Okay, the light rotates every two minutes and there's like forty five cars out there, and you start to like, yeah, you're starting to write, and you think about the course of the day, and then you're like, okay, yeah, that does that up. But you would never
think about that until you did that analysis. You start to realize and then
that that comes up to be a value of, you know, what the building is worth in the problem. I wonder if you can put your own
speed camera up, like your own ticket system. I don't know, you
might like if you like live on the street and you're like people speed down your street all the time. I wanted to be like, if it's illegal
to pull up like your own speed camera. Time out those companies out there
right now in New York that are giving parking tickets. I got a great
idea. People are got I gotta take a commercial break. But that gives
me a great idea. Let me take a commercial break. We'll come back
and I want to explore that idea. Oh, that will be a great
idea. Hold on, guys, I've arrived back and I'll talk to you

today. Fifty one sixty Singleton Way in Virginia Beach two three three three one
three one. Liberty Transmission. Welcome back to Let's Talk Cars Radio. You're
automotive specialist. Now back to your host, Dave palach come back. So
we're doing some research during the commercial break because we had a granddeal. I
was like, my great idea was, can we install a speed camera in front of our property and shoot it out the street and then catch speeders the speed on the country road in front of us and then issue our own ticket and for them speeding in front of them come to the house to like have their damn course, have them come out to the mega garage. We'll build
a we'll build a little like a bench like judges bench. Be like you're
either mailing your ticket and pay for it, or you can come to court and just feel like, we'll just dismiss it every time if you can, if you actually showed up, we'll just dismiss it. But if you're dumb
enough to pay it, we'll just take the money. That hilarious looking up
the information make a great YouTube page. Actually there's no information on an indivisual
homeowner. However, a homeowner's association or a private community can issue speeding tickets.
So I guess if you're liking a court, you can create that as a private So here's the question, what do we deem speeding like, Because like I don't want to be the guy that's like, oh, I got you, it's fifty five, and I got you at sixty. It's gotta
be like something ridiculous, because every once in a while I get somebody, I get somebody blowing like one twenty. Like if there's somebody will blow by
here like one twenty, and I know it because I hear him coming before you ever gets to mind. You remember, we live in the country sixty.
We're a country race five, we're fifty five. It's fifty five out
here on the country roads. But like I can hear them, like I
know when they're coming, like when I I can, I know what over one hundred sounds like before they ever get to me. I think eighty should
be right. And when we get him at So when we get him at
eighty, yeah, like so I'll get I'll give you an instance. So
it's fifty five out here on the country road by us, and then I got to slow down from fifty five to turn into my driveway, you know what I mean. So I'll slow down at you know, from fifty five
to turn to my driveway. And there's always, not always, every once
in a great while there is an idiot behind me who thinks for some reason that I'm slowing down, that I'm just maybe because I'm dilly dallion, and decides he wants to swing around me as I'm getting ready to make my left hand turn into my driveway. He's got a big truck right, and he's
gonna swing around me to go like pass me as I'm trying to left hand turn into my driveway, which if that ever, if if I'm ever not paying attention, gonna be a huge accident because I'm gonna turn right into him as he's trying to come around me at like, you know, seventy five eighty miles an hour as I'm trying to turn into my driveway. There's every
once in a while there's there's there's a dummy like that. But you know,
we live in the country because it's peaceful and it's quiet, and you know, you can build hot rods out here and nobody seems to care.
And but I'm also, even on my country roads, I'm not out there blasting you know, one twenty doing stupid stuff, you know what I mean.
Now here's the thing. We're none of us out here are going fifty
five. I mean we're not going to we're not going to speed on it's
country road, you know, you know, but we're also not blasting by people at like, you know, one hundred and twenty miles now. So
it'd be funny to install the It would be fun It would be funny to install it and just send tickets and just see, like I said, it would be. It would make a funny it would make a funny YouTube pitch.
It would be worth doing. I don't know, all right, speed,
I told you I had an ikey story for you. So we've seen
all kinds of things build on the highway right right, I'm talking about it all money, beer, tomato, sauce, pasta sauce. It was out
Fredo sauce one time you insert here. Now, what if you were just
driving down the road, minding your own business. You're driving and all of
a sudden, like your car just starts to slip and slide and you don't know why, and all of a sudden you wreck your car and you're like, what the world just happened? And it's banos. And of course,
as you're slipping on slide and you're gonna use it, you're probably gonna use a phrase. Oh insert word here, you know which word it's not.
It's start with the nest. So art got me on the mirco mom,
mommy so and then you find out that's exactly what it was. Banana peel
wasn't not Banana peel was the word you can't use on the radio. Oh
really yes? Wow. So apparently there was a truck full of human waste
that was spilling it out as he was driving it, and it went all over the road. Nobody could see it because it was starting, I guess,
starting to get dark, right, and it made the road all slippery with ikey. Imagine washing that thing down, and I guess the first card.
One of the first cars the crash was a police car because he didn't see it and he just starts spinning out and he crashed his car. But
could you imagine, like, no one's gonna believe you, Like, can you imagine calling your insurance company? Well, um, you're not gonna believe
this, But I was driving and I my car starts sliding on Coca.
You didn't plane Coca. So the twenty twenty of massive spills on the highway,
the one coming in on first Place was thirty tons of potatoes um, Idaho potatoes. H Louisiana corn dog spill where there was forty thousand corn dogs.
Oh man, I'd have been you know me, I'd have been like scooping him up. I love corn dogs, corn dogs. The catfish spill.
I heard about the catfish spill. Milk on the highway back in twenty
thirteen. And the forty two thousand pounds of beer. Wow. Remember somebody
also said rainbow on the road. It didn't have any s's, but it
did smell like skittles. Um. Vegetable oil. Yeah, yeah, vegetable
oil. Um. Maryland flower incident where there was just too much flour they
couldn't get it up with water. Um. Yeah, because once it starts
getting away, it starts getting bushy, I guess. And then just a
couple of oreos oreos spilled out of a truck in two thousand. It's just
get a bustload of kids just drop off. In two thousand and ten,
and it was twenty five thousand pounds of honey that poured on the highway.
Yeah. And then a lot of ice cream, just a very lot of
ice cream. I told you, I told you, I told this on
on the air when I was a kid about the the soda truck that spilled it right there at the intersection of Washington Indicator. He went around the corner.
We were coming home from school and we were walking across the street and the truck went around the corner and then just the doors rolled open and all the soda pop just spilled out in the middle of the intersection where its How about the holiday Ham? To remember the Holiday Ham? To remember where forty
thousand pounds in twenty thirteen spilled on the highway of Ham. And it was
a couple of days beats all that. It was a couple of days before
Christmas and everybody went onto the highway stealing ham because nobody could could the money on what two weeks ago? Was I mean in the I saw a video.
I saw a video. There's two cars. So there's two cars that
like I guess the wind suck up all the money to their back bumpers and everything like there's there was a lot of at least duffel bags full. You
never said he wasn't given as like, I mean, if it if it's you know, blowing towards me, he's like it must spant me. It
must. I didn't go towards it. It came towards me. I didn't
choose his life. Life shows me. It was stuck on me. Before
I got one last story for you guys. Here's one. You know how
I told you guys that you know, everybody's been trying to think of, like um anti theft ideas to keep your car from getting stolen right switches.
Remember the idea I kind of came up with. I said, look,
there's gotta be a way, like you just put things in your car that turn off the power to your car. And still remember what my idea was,
hold on, hold on, we canna go buch of time. So
remember I told you about that. So it looks like somebody might have been
listening. So the University of Michigan is actually coming up with ideas. It
might be out on the market in about two years. They said, So
they want to put like a pass code or a fingerprint. Remember I'm telling
you, but they're gonna do it a little different, and I think it's kind of cool the way they're gonna do it. Your pass code would be
turning on and off things in your vehicle in a certain order, which then turns the battery power back on. So they want to reduce the battery power
to your car. And then the way you turn it back on is like
you click your blinker twice, turn this button twice, and that actually old man's dead switch, really it really is, which exactly what I said, just put a dead switch in the car and then but it's a cool way to do it because you know, then you used to do that all the time. Things like I said, it'd be a cool way to do it'd
be a cool way to do a day. It would be yeah, yeah,
uh, you just just more futuristic, right, absolutely, But think about you would get in the car and you would never know, do I what BLINKERD I had to turn on left right whatever? You click the blinker
twice, you turn the AC switch twice, something like that, and then that's the code unlock it, and then the car comes alive. Some movie
stuff right there. You'll you're right, you'd never you'll you'll never be able
to steal the car at that point in time because it's an encoder that goes to the battery and it's like that. It's like James Bond, He's just
right, absolutely, So I think they're onto something. You guys need to
read a little bit up on it. Somebody send me the story, and
I appreciate you. When the listener sending me the story, I thought it
was kind of cool if they remembered us talking about it and then sent me the story and they're like, Hey, this what you guys were talking about almost like two years ago. So thanks for sending me the story, because
yep, that's exactly what I had. It's basically just a futures that switch
zact what you said. I think it's cool idea. Guys. On that
note, I cannot believe the show want by that fast. Do not forget
