LIVE
Every team every topic everywhere. This is Belize. Hey, it's shift and stare. Welcome to the party pals. We're going to have fun today. Well, I hope we are at least and we're going to get started really quickly here.
Um, and, uh, talk about, uh, the upcoming this weekend.
Well, I can't talk today.
What's an HRA?
Winter Nationals in Pomona, California.
Excuse me. I thought I was going to like, uh, hiccup there and it just, uh, was missing.
Oh, you're going to do one of those hiccup sneeze burps, huh?
Yeah, exactly.
That'll send you to the hospital our age.
And, um, whenever I start to get the hiccups, I think of this thing I saw when I was like, um, I don't know, I was maybe in my twenties, this person on the news in Arizona that, uh, they had the hiccups and doctors could never get rid of them.
And so instead of at a point, they said, we couldn't figure out how she could not stop having the hiccups.
I mean, like going, oh my God, can you imagine not being able to stop hiccuping?
And they had taught her, trained her this woman how to just, it was like, yes, well, I've had the hiccups for my whole life.
And it, and I was like, oh my God, that'd be the worst.
I mean, I'd be, I'd be like trying every old wives tale, like having people scare me and having, you know, all this stuff.
That would be the worst.
But anyways, we don't have to worry about that today because I'm about to sneeze.
So excuse me, my nose stings, my eyes are watering.
I'm like about to sneeze.
But with that, we're going to lead right into our sponsor and talk about FanDuel right now.
Not Flonase?
No, not Flonase, FanDuel right now.
This episode is brought to you by FanDuel.
And if you love sports and want to make the games even more exciting, you've got to go check out FanDuel.com.

Give it a try today at FanDuel.com and see what all the excitement is about.
All right, we're back.
Now you have the word on FanDuel.
There it goes.
What did you count that rockstar drink this morning?
No, no, man.
I don't have rockstar today.
I have a bomb sickle flavored, bomb sickle flavored C4.
What is C4?
It makes you feel like you're exploded.
It's four different kinds of cocos.
It's like Goldberg style, you know?
Well, it'd be G4 then.
Hey, I've got a really special thing.
I went through our Instagram where people send us things all the time and I got some questions from our audience.
And we're going to do that.
But first, let's talk about this weekend and the NHRA Winter Nationals in Pomona.
And you know what?
Now they have moved these around.
That used to be the first race of the year.
It was always in February.
It was traditional.
We knew it was coming.
But unfortunately, the last two or three years, they've suffered from some rain.
So they wanted to get ahead of that.
And they moved the race to April.
They put the Gator Nationals and the Phoenix race ahead of it so that they could get a time when they didn't have to worry about rain.
Hey Matt, have you looked at the forecast for this weekend?
I was just looking at it and I was like, it actually does look like it could rain.
They're saying it's going to rain, yeah.
We might get a lot of rain this weekend.
And I'm like, they moved it two months.
The whole schedule moved around so that they wouldn't have rain and they get rain.
We haven't had rain for two months.
And here in Sonoma, it's 81%, 84% and then 53% on Sunday.
We've already had some rain today.
We have rain tomorrow.
Yeah.
It's like you can't win, right?
But this weekend, if they get it to pull off, it will be the 1,000th ever competitive funny car race.
Wow.
Yeah, 1,000 of those things.
And how long have they been doing it?
50 years.
Over 50 years.
Well, we're on episode, what, six something now?
We're up to 563.
Okay.
So we're halfway there in much less time than 50 years.
Oh, yeah.
We're much faster than a funny car.
What's our average speed?
Well, that's going to be some hell of a rooster tails coming off of those.
It's the smoky burnouts that get us.
Yeah, and you can't run them in the rain.
I heard Pro Stock is going back to hood scoops.
Hood scoops.
Yes, they are.
Wow.
Yeah, they're going to do the big hood scoop.
Those big snorkely hood scoops.
How do they see around them?
Because don't they sit center?
They don't.
I was going to say they sit center.
Yes, when your front ends in the air, you can't see anyway.
Well, the Pro Stocks don't.
The Pro Stocks sit a little off to the side.
But still, those scoops are so big, they're not going to see around them at all there.
Crazy.
It'll be good.
I hope that the weather kind of skirts around.
Yeah.
But it's not looking good, unfortunately.
It's not looking good.
I think we're going out Sunday.
We're going to go out for a race for the finals.
I'm going out for the beer on Friday.
You must be going with Dave, Merrick.
Yes.
We walk up to the beer stand and everybody goes, hi Dave.
All the girls that work out there, they don't know Dave, my first name.
And they just turn around and get two beers because he's two at a time.
You know, it's funny.
You joke about that.
But the last time I went with Dave there, we walked up and he's like, what do you guys want?
And he's like, hey, Sally or Susan or whatever.
She's like, here's your beers.
She had them ready before he was walking up.
Exactly.
And then he'll go, oh, let's go over to beer stand too because the twins are working.
And I'm like, how do you know this dude?
He goes, well, you know, I get a check it out.
He asks, that's Dave.
That's Dave's deal.
Hey, so I went into our Instagram page where a lot of our listeners send in questions that never get answered.
And chose some and I've got a few for us.
Oh, fun.
These are always fun.
So Matt, we're starting out with you.
And Cardi B from Western Virginia.
Oh, no, Sandy B Sandy B Sandy B from Western Virginia says, do you still have your mock one?
I'm thinking of getting one and wanted your opinion.
I do not.
It was sold.
Do not have an opinion.
I do not have a car.
It was sold and went to Texas.
But I do recommend it.
So the the mock one, one of the big differences between the mock one and the other mustings in that lineup is it has the Tremac transmission that was in the GT 350.
Oh, wow.
And it's a much beefier, stronger, better transmission.
And if you do end up modifying the car, that's an added failsafe that you're definitely going to want.
Right.
So that was a nice benefit.
And I know a lot of people say it's sort of the parts bin car, but I don't mind that it has kind of the best of a little bit of GT 350 and bullet and GT 500.
Now the new Mustangs, the S650s, they're nice, but not a lot of people like the big screen on the dash, where the mock one was sort of the last generation of S550s that have sort of the twin eyebrow dash pad thing going on.
It's a little bit smaller, you know, much smaller infotainment touchscreen, but more integrated into the dash.
So if if you like the mock one interior better than the S650, then 100%.
I think the mock one is badass.
Sandy also said, she said, are they hard to get in and out of I'm 97 and in a walker.
She didn't really say that.
You're fine.
Yeah.
So, Aaron.
Yes.
Thomas W. from St. Louis, Missouri wants to know whatever happened to your rat rod.
Which one?
Thomas W. Is that Tommy Wells?
I have no idea.
Whatever happened to my rat rod?
Well, Red Voodoo is in a museum in Stillwater, Oklahoma at the Kicker Museum.
The Rat Rod Woody Wagon is in a museum in Reno, the National Auto Bill Museum.
And October Moon is down at my friend Colby's.
We're doing some exhausts.
The exhaust is good.
We're rebuilding the headers because they were just kind of a Lakester, right?
A Lakester style was just a straight pipe.
So Colby's doing some really, really nice stuff to that.
He actually bought that car when we divorced the network
and my business partners who are the management team at the time,
we had to sell a lot of the assets.
So that car got sold, the 50 shoebox got sold, and a couple of other things got sold.
I actually bought the 27 back thanks to Kicker and Lincoln Electric and some of my other sponsors
who helped build the car in the beginning back in the day.
I bought that back last year.
So Colby's finishing it up and then we're going to send it to Stillwater
and exchange it for Red Voodoo, which is the 46 GMC, the black one, the first one.
We're going to change it for that and I'm going to bring that home.
And like we mentioned in other episodes, I'm going to go through all of the late
Pete Chapporte's paperwork and we're going to try to get that front end
to a better safety standard, shall we say?
Much better.
Because I'd like to drive it.
It's been a long time.
And then the 27 Dodge, which is October Moon, that'll go to Stillwater.
Kicker's going to do a pretty neat system on that.
It's going to go to SEMA this year, supposedly.
We're scheduled to take it to SEMA.
And then it'll remain in their museum for a while while I enjoy Red Voodoo.
So yeah, there's the exchange.
So the 50 shoebox went to Pacifica, went to Gorilla Barbecue,
so Rich got it.
And I think he just sold it recently.
He's a big guy and it's a real tight car.
And I think that his knees spoke their mind after a while and said,
no, no more crawling into this car.
So he let that go and that was another beautiful build.
But yeah, I think that's pretty much all the rat rods,
at least that I can think of.
Everything's kind of a rat rod.
Yeah, but I think it was talking about Red Voodoo.
Yeah, I think there were the four primes.
Yeah, so if you still want to see it, head out to Stillwater, Oklahoma
and go visit the Kicker Museum and you'll see that and a lot of other really,
really cool vehicles.
Or if you're in the Reno area, go visit the National Auto Bill Museum
and you can see the woody wagon in there along with some,
oh my God, what 300 other incredible cars, including the Plymouth Air Radial Truck,
which is there right now too.
There you go.
Nice.
Well, my question comes from a guy named Colby and he wants to know,
are you going to talk about anything other than your Chevelle on the show today?
No.
No.
It's always going to talk about his Chevelle.
Mine is from Craig G from Canton, Ohio and he says,
how long till your Chevelle gets done?
Well, considering I just brought it back and we're still cutting the videos.
Can you find done first?
Yes.
And it's going to be a while.
This is a long-term project.
This is not like car warriors that it was a 48-hour build.
No, we're going to go through everything, figure everything out.
I'm going to go through it because I don't ever want to touch this car again.
I want to get it done right the first time.
And before I do that, the shop has to be redone because I'm creating a shop here at work.
All my other builds, all my SEMA cars, everything, I always did at my shop at home.
This one I'm going to do here.
And so I'm getting my shop in order.
And so that's going to be all part of my video series.
There's going to be creating my shop.
And so then we'll get back on the Chevelle.
But first of all, if you're watching the series, you'll know that I only got the body,
the motor, transmission and some of the parts back.
I've still got to go make another run and get the frame, the front suspension,
the front clip and a bunch of other miscellaneous parts that are over there.
And with gas prices the way they are, it might be another 10 years before I get back over.
Well, you can walk out there and drive back.
Yeah, exactly.
But no, it's not going to be like one of these liquidy split projects.
I'm not trying to get it done for SEMA this year.
Maybe SEMA next year, but not this year.
And kind of things like that.
Plus, a lot comes to budget.
Budget comes in and I've got to keep that.
That is a thing.
That is very much a real thing.
So good news for Colby.
A lot more Chevelle talk for the next three years.
Okay, man.
I love it.
Johnny G.
And Johnny is spelt J-O-N-N-E-E from Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Is custom car building getting better or is it just getting more commercialized?
That's a good question.
And I'm going to say that it's getting better.
It's getting better because so many shops are now utilizing resources like scanning
and CAD and 3D printing.
Yeah.
They're getting so much more creative because there's less limitations on what you can
just do by hand by going, hey, you know, we can 3D print some of this stuff.
And I'm not saying it's making it cheaper.
It's making it more complex, right?
Because, you know, what's going on with like blazing rides?
What's going on with like Ring Brothers, obviously?
And, you know, like the Ring Brothers, Aston Martin, that was basically an entire carbon
fiber body built from scratch.
You know, they had to make the molds and let it up and design it from scratch and get
the gaps right.
And, you know, that kind of stuff was unheard of.
Like you were talking about stuff that'd be done on the space shuttle, not on a hot
ride or a custom car.
So, yeah, I think it's, I think for sure it's getting better.
I couldn't agree more.
Every word that you said there.
I was hanging on every word.
Hey, Aaron.
Yeah.
Tim L from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he asked, what trend do you think is about to die off
in the automotive world?
That's a weird question.
Because it's easier to pick up on trends that are coming.
I got one.
Go ahead.
What trend is going to die off?
Well, I wish it was electric.
It's funny because that was going to be mine.
I think the EV conversions are, they're not going to really go that far.
Yeah.
It's not going to blow up.
I think it's going to kind of, it'll kind of plateau and that's it.
Like there'll be a handful of EV conversions and then it's just not going to be a big,
you know, like SEMA was trying to build out like an EV section with all that stuff.
I think there's a place for it, but I just don't see that growing in to be the size of West Hall.
A good example is like Jim had that kit that they did the El Camino with, you know,
and they had it at SEMA and converted it to electric.
The problem was it was such a big kit.
It took up the whole back of the El Camino, you know.
Yeah.
And some of the other kits that we saw there were more compact, but I don't know.
There is a company that's working on 9-11 Porsches that are electric and I'm just,
it makes me cringe.
You know, it makes me cringe.
It's like, it'd be like if I said, yeah, I'm getting that Chevelle done.
You know, if we talked about the Chevelle, because we haven't talked about it for at least five minutes.
And if I said, hey, I'm going to make an EV, people would be like, wah, wah, wah.
My videos, you know, crash.
I mean, nobody care.
I really don't think.
Yeah, no, it's true.
And I think to convert stuff, it's just too expensive.
So to contradict or contrast that, it might stick around if the technology changes pretty soon
and things get to be more compact and more affordable.
But what I was actually going to say is extreme.
I think the hobby has gotten so extreme that I think there's got to be a balance to things with simplicity and with streamlining.
Remember when things were just streamlined for aerodynamics.
And now it's about downforce and about ducks and intakes and giant wings and giant canards and lips and fender flares.
And, you know, I think that trend is going to die off.
I think things are going to get to be a little more simplified and a little more futuristic.
I think we've gotten to the kind of a clumsy era of aerodynamics.
And I think that what people are building now are just extremes.
And I think that part of the industry is going to settle down personally.
I think that that trend is going to die off a little bit and things are going to be a little more relatable.
Well, I can bring up one that I hope dies off, which is the trend of influencers, automotive influencers that are just wrecking cars for views.
That just drives me nuts.
And I justified it in my head.
I mentioned it last week, I think that that, yeah, they do it in movies, they do it in film, you know, but at the same time, these guys are just like,
they're not even making cool films or something like a car chase or a car.
They're just destroying cars so that you go, oh, my God, did you see what he just did to that, you know, that new Lamborghini or that, you know, that vintage whatever, you know, it's just, it's just, I don't know, it doesn't get views.
They're also crashing to compete with the most dollar amount damage, you know, like, oh, I got a $500,000 Lamborghini and I'm going to crash it.
Movie cars don't really do that.
Right.
They have stripped down some wreck cars or fake version or some, you know, salvage title version of something that they've stripped down and destroyed that.
They destroyed the $22,000 version, not the $500,000 version.
Yeah, right.
Well, whoever said influencers were, you know, intelligent.
Well, they're doing something.
Some of these guys are making some bank, man.
I mean, but I don't want to do it that way.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
I don't want to do it that way.
It's like, I'll stick with my only fan's page, man.
You're only fan shop.
I mean, listen, to be fair, we're not categorizing all influencers and YouTubers.
There's a lot of great YouTube stuff out there.
Oh yeah, we are.
I'm going to go after anyone.
Go after Brad because Brad is categorizing everybody in that.
But there's a bunch of YouTubers that are doing some pretty cool things and restoring cars and bringing damaged cars back to life.
And I know one.
I know one right now that's doing that.
And he's bringing stuff back to life, not wrecking them.
And that, you know, that David Fryberg is a good guy, you know?
Yeah.
No, I just don't like the guys that are doing that kind of stuff.
I tune in.
I got to admit, I tune in and go, oh my God, what are they doing?
So I know it works, but it's like, it just makes me cringe.
Brad, show some discipline because we don't, Matt and I don't.
Yeah, Brad.
I know what you're talking about.
I've never seen one.
You've never even seen one.
You have no comparison.
So when you brought that up, I was like, oh, that's a thing.
There's, there's one channel that all they do is wreck volvos.
Good for them.
Then what they do, this guy, he's, he's an influencer out of the bay area.
He wrecks volvos.
Then what he does is he rebuilds them and gets a title for him.
And it's amazing.
It's amazing.
Brad's teasing folks.
Cause we're going to look at a Volvo on Friday.
2018 XC 60 T eight.
Our design pretty well specced.
And yeah, we might be owning our first hybrid.
That was episode 52.
I'll keep you posted.
That's all I'm saying.
It's not black.
Is it?
All I'm saying.
It is black.
It is black.
I just spent a week in the V 60 wagon,
the country versions.
Like it's like a little bit lifted, which was kind of nice.
But, uh, right?
You know, just good, just good.
I mean, it's, it's nice.
It did everything well.
And, you know, the wagon, you open the back and like, there's so much room for
stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can put stuff in them and go a long way for a small investment.
You know, it makes your stuff feel more valuable.
Well, you can buy more stuff because you didn't invest it all in.
That's right.
I'd say it'd be good for you, Brad, but Brad, you keep towing stuff.
I know towing and hauling.
Well, but the hybrid actually has a pretty decent.
I'm not going to do it though.
Cause you can, you can diminish the life of your transmission.
I've gone down the dumbest deep dive on Volvos because it's completely new to
me.
I mean, the old safaris and stuff I love.
I think they're the coolest.
I would totally own one, put an LS in it and just rally it.
But, um, I was looking at it.
It's, it's when you change your name to Sven.
That's when we are a man fun and, uh, and, and, and yoga pants.
That's for you.
Colby Colby's given me help.
He has been sending me classified.
He's against Chevelle's.
He's against yoga pants, man.
He's like, you're going to lose all your street cred.
It's like, what the fuck do I care about street cred Colby?
I don't live down, down Sacramento and cruise to work every day.
I live, I live in a, I live in a field or a mountain.
Okay.
We got one more question here.
This one's for me.
It's from Steve C. Rockford, Illinois.
And, uh, it's, uh, what separates.
Okay.
Let me go back here.
He says, I can't read my own handwriting.
He says, um, I listen to you guys talk about a lot of different cars.
What separates a $30,000 billed from a $300,000 bill?
Oh man.
Well, 270,000.
Speed, performance, handling.
I mean, if we, if, to answer that, and I try and ball it into one big ball,
it's the details.
Yeah.
It's, it's, you can build a really nice car, really nice driver and have
something fun for 30,000 bucks.
Yeah.
But if you wanted to, I could build some, I could build some shit for 30 grand.
Oh yeah.
But if you want to spend 300 grand, it's the details.
It's the motor, it's the chassis, the suspension, the, having vintage
air in it, having, you know, really big brakes, having, having it more like a
late model car where it could, you know, now you can spend 300,000 and have a
car that handles like shit and doesn't drive well.
And, you know, but if somebody talented builds it, you can have a really nice car,
but it's going to be the details.
It's going to be looking up underneath the car and seeing it just as refined as
it is on the top.
You're going to see everything, you know, the fit, the finish.
You're going to, you're probably going to have a drive train that is much more
reliable and fuel injected rather than carbureted and normally aspirated.
There's, there's so much to it.
I mean, you could answer that question in a million different ways, but that
would be how I kind of roll it up into a little ball.
It does have a second part.
Go ahead.
Did you have something to say?
I was going to say, I mean, if, if you have the ability to do some work yourself,
$30,000 is not a bad budget to put toward parts and modify something fairly modern
because now, listen, you could easily spend $100,000 on parts if you're doing
a full build, you know, even more than that.
But if you were taking a fairly modern car and you had a $30,000 budget to
modify it, personalize it and you can do a lot of work yourself, you could end up
doing some pretty cool things, you know, superchargers and brake kits and interior
pieces and stereo like, but that 30 grand will go quickly.
Once you start getting into a lot of labor expenses, a lot of custom work,
that's where you really start to get into that six figures.
Exactly.
When you have four guys working on a car and they're all billing by the hour as
they work on it, it goes fast.
It does go fast.
And in addition to that, that's what I was going to say is, is I think the
difference in that, in that answer would be if you're doing yourself or if
you're hiring a shop, a shop you can burn through $300,000 very quickly.
In fact, paint jobs can cost a hundred grand easily.
But, and that's the other thing too is part two of that is for a $30,000 budget
for yourself to build a car or to modify a car.
Are you building or modifying?
It's a driver.
You're going to drive it.
Absolutely guaranteed.
But if you put 300 grand into your vehicle and it's now kind of more in the
show quality category, are you going to drive it?
So what are you getting back out of your investment?
I would much rather have a modest investment that I drive and use and
love and perform than something that I trailer to events, show it off,
take some awards and don't recoup anything other than bragging rights.
Yeah.
I'll tell you something that I found a receipt and a little tally.
You said paint, you know, a car.
My Chevelle, it was in a box and it was all the receipts from when I painted
the car from blue to orange and including the paint, including the primer.
Now I did it myself.
So, you know, the labor, but it was $135.
Yeah.
I mean, you can't buy anything for $135.
No, no clear coat, clear coat, a show clear, a high solid show clear can cost
you near grand right now.
Oh yeah.
Easy.
I mean, it's funny.
I was going to say $135 doesn't cover the shipping costs to get the materials
to paint your car.
You can't ship that materials for $135.
Yeah.
By the sandpaper to sand it down or the welding rods to, you know, do the welding
we did on stuff to fix some little blust holes.
I mean, it's just like, come on.
Yeah.
Speaking of which, I'd love to thank Wayne again and the guys at PPG because
thanks to them, I will be touching up or maybe even repainting the whole
defender with the generosity of PPG.
So thank you.
Steve C. had one other question.
He says, are you really from Rockford, Illinois?
I heard that.
Yes.
I was born in Rockford, Illinois.
And I spent, according to my parents, I spent a whole six months there
before we moved.
That's where the underscore happens.
Yeah.
The underscore fans don't have a, don't have a lot of memories there.
But yes, I was born in Rockford, Illinois.
All right.
Should we take a break?
Yeah, let's take a break.
When we say break, that means we're going to talk about our sponsors.
All right.
Before we get back to the show, I want to tell you about our friends at FanDuel.
Now, whether you're watching football on Sunday, catching a big basketball game,
or waiting for that green flag to drop on your favorite race,
FanDuel lets you get into the action and makes every moment a lot more exciting.
It's super easy to use.
There's tons of ways to wager, and it's all right there on your phone.
So while you're watching the game or the race, you can jump right in.
So do yourself a favor.
Head over to theFanDuel.com, give it a try, and add a little extra adrenaline
to the game day or the race day.
Okay, we're back.
These are great questions.
Yeah, no.
I went through and got some of the good ones.
Some of them are just like, hey, when are you going to do this next?
And those were some of the better ones.
Those could still be valid, except the Rockford, Illinois, Brad.
Yeah, I know.
I think the guy was just, he also asked me my mother's maiden name and the social security number.
If I could share my social security number.
Did I tell you guys that when I went over to Arizona that what really freaked me out was
on a bunch of my parts, because they've been stored for so long,
that back then the way you identified things and the police told you to put your social security number.
Like they used to tell you to put it on the back of your stair.
That's right.
Remember?
Yeah, I remember that.
If you get robbed, you can prove it's yours.
Oh.
So I had in one of those paint pens, like they use at salvage yards, like on the A arms
and on some heads that I had.
And I'm sitting there with a, I had a little battery powered grinder on.
Oh, no.
Oh my God, my social security numbers on all these parts.
So I stood there and spent like 20 minutes grinding it off all these parts.
Oh my gosh.
That's insane.
But yeah, I forgot about that.
Like in the 80s.
Oh yeah.
It was a big thing.
Yeah.
Like put your social security number on everything so they know it's you.
It was like a fingerprint.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like, man, how things change, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Everything changes, but some things stay the same.
Just like, when was the last cruise night either or one of you guys went to?
Night?
No, I'm usually better at night.
Yeah.
You've been, okay, let's just say cars and coffee.
High school.
Well, I mean, don't you remember that you went and you took your girlfriend and you,
and you had your full camera crew and you had a still photographer with you.
You know what you're getting at.
And you were like, hey, we're going to the cruise night tonight.
And you, you know, it was.
My drone, my camera car.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I, I remember that I set it up with the, with the city ahead of time and closed down
streets and get permits and everything like that.
Cause I, you know, that's how, that's how the average guy does it.
Okay.
Let me add because we're going to tell more.
There was a makeup person involved as well.
Yes.
Maybe even a stylist.
Yeah.
There's guaranteed the way he looked.
There was a stylist.
It's at night and there's all these shots.
He's putting on his sunglasses.
He's going, yeah.
You know, and so we are talking about the Lewis Hamilton video that dropped with Kim
Kardashian.
And the other thing was, of course, we were all driving F 40 Ferraris too.
And yeah.
Yeah.
I was driving a Ferrari when I got that notification.
Yeah.
But he showed up at the, at the, the now famous Dekaku parking area in Japan.
That's cool.
With his F 40 and a camera crew and everything.
And it's worth a watch, but it's like, look at it like we just did.
You kind of go, ah, you know, it's like, it's like cool, but he's doing a series.
He's doing a series.
It's called, it is called Tokyo drift.
I think.
You know, it looks like an influencer video.
It doesn't look like a, you know, the MTV style or the whatever stuff.
To me, it looks like an influencer video.
Just a really high done.
It's a very well done.
Yeah.
Well done.
You know, high budget influencer.
Where they, where they melded the stills frames.
Yeah.
Totally.
Where they flew an F 40 from, from probably.
Someone, someone got a new editing toy.
Yeah.
But, um, it's, uh, it's, it's cool.
I mean, it is.
It's totally cool.
It's like, I look at it and I go, wow, wouldn't that be awesome to have a film
crew and a.
Yeah.
And an F 40.
I screw the film crew.
I'll just take the F 40.
I'll just take the F 40.
Well, David Lee is not far behind them guys.
David Lee's not far behind them.
Yeah.
In fact, I wonder if it was his film crew.
I guess he's got a production company.
Did you know that David Lee bought that, the, the, the big white Ferrari,
right?
The 38 million dollar Ferrari.
But I just saw his latest video.
He, he got his very first Mustang from Galpin from our friend Galpin.
He got the Mustang GTD.
Oh, it is a GT.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He got the GTD.
You read that was a mistake, wasn't it?
They, Galpin pulled one on him.
They sent him the order form.
He saw the prancing horse.
He thought he's ordering another Ferrari.
Another Ferrari.
Yeah.
If that was the case, he'd have a bunch of Lamborghinis in there too.
Yeah.
Right.
Those are bulls.
Come on.
Yeah.
I, I, this is a true story.
Charlotte and I were with Mike and Sue once at, I can't even remember
where it was somewhere in Newport.
We went out to lunch one day.
We took our cars, went out to lunch and, and we were coming out and this
woman walks up and goes, you Mike Lantini.
He goes, he goes, yeah, I am.
And she goes, oh my God, you know, the whole, you've been there Aaron, you
know.
Oh yeah.
And she goes, and I really like your Mustang.
And it was his Ferrari.
She saw the words on the back.
And he waited for like, I'm kidding.
And she walked away.
She was dead serious.
Oh, that's funny.
In the look on his face.
And he goes, my Mustang.
She didn't know the difference.
He was all insulted.
Yeah.
Hey, you know, if I recall, we were in dad's 400 I and his old Ferrari
84 400 I, and we were driving through a toll booth somewhere like maybe in
California or something, crossing a bridge and, and the guy, the guy told
us goes, what kind of car is this?
And dad goes, it's a Ferrari.
He goes, wow, I thought that's a weird custom Honda prelude.
I'll never forget that.
I wonder if dad remembers that.
I can see that.
Did he take back his toll money?
You don't deserve my 75 cents.
Give me that back.
Yeah.
Dad put the wand back and said, no tip for you.
Hey, um, you know, we can go right from talking F 40s to one car that's coming
out in quarter four this year.
You guys know what I'm talking about?
What?
The slate.
The slate truck.
Oh, that's right.
Now I'm thinking I'm going to order one.
I'm going to order it in red.
I'm going to fly it to Japan.
And I'm going to go cruising.
You guys can be my film crew.
What do you think?
Okay.
And all you're going to hear is.
Wouldn't it, wouldn't that be awesome though?
If you, I mean, if we could even afford to do that, like, if you could,
like, if you could do it now, right after his came out,
you can take it for a little Tokyo.
You don't have to fly it anywhere.
Even better.
A little Tokyo and, and, and we show up and we're.
The ramen hits the window.
It wouldn't make any noise because it's electric.
It wouldn't sound like an F 40.
That would be your job.
You'd stand at the side going.
Oh, let the chicken go.
You know.
Yeah.
But who are you going to have in the passenger seat, Fred?
Who are you going to have?
Of course the smoke's going to clear and it's going to be Charlotte.
And she's going to be going like this going.
I got something in my teeth.
We just had chicken.
Oh my God, Brad.
You're going to make me throw up.
The slate truck is kind of hit or miss.
Like some people like it.
Some people don't.
And it's this fully like modular electric truck and you can,
you can buy it and then you can add pieces that you want.
Like it's a little pickup truck.
But if you want a cover over the back, fine.
If you want a radio, you can get that.
It comes with like, it comes with like a little Bluetooth radio
as an option, right?
It's as an option.
Like it's kind of stripped down and.
And 3D printed stuff.
Yeah.
So my issue is it'd be great if it was all modular and it was like,
and it started at $18,000, but it's going to be like $30,000.
And by the time you start getting pieces and.
And they're.
They're still going to be holding to the mid $20,000.
Really?
Yes.
But I mean, you get a few options on it and you're at 30 grand and
it's like, isn't that what a Honda CRV cost?
You know, which is nice and touch screen and in Bluetooth and
car play and.
And you know, like we drove that Honda Civic hybrid to,
you know, to Arizona and back.
That was like 30 grand for that car.
You know, so it's tough to, to buy into the slate.
But although people are going to also do things where you like.
Make parts for it.
Everything's modular.
So we're going to make parts and modify stuff for it.
And then there is kind of this.
This idea of going, what if I just buy the base model and then
as I afford it, like if I do work, I can like, I'm just going to
add the little Bluetooth radio and I'm going to add like the
top or I'm going to add like the rack or whatever.
And you can just kind of add some of the features that it needs.
I think the one feature it has that comes standard.
I read that correctly is air conditioning.
Oh yeah.
It's kind of an open source design.
So it meaning that, that they have.
You can buy their options or there's a whole community.
And they're hoping, I guess, building a whole community behind it
where you can 3d print your own this or 3d print your own that.
And I think they're hoping to, to, to collaborate with people as well
in, in, in those forums and chats to, to have a whole culture of
let's make these, let's make those.
I mean, you can 3d print anything now and almost to any scale.
So I think the idea is cool.
I think it's very modern and progressive.
We'll see how it takes off because like you said, the price point is,
it's still a hard affordable thing.
I think for a lot of people, but I don't know.
I think the people that are into it are going to do it.
It's a nice alternative to all the other stuff out there.
It is a small compact little electric vehicle.
It performs well, I guess.
But yeah, I would lower your expectations for, for, for not,
not quality in as far as like build quality, but quality as far as
the whole thing is plastic or, or, or formed, you know, plastics or
thermoform stuff, you know, it's going to be pretty, it's going to be
pretty much like that.
No one's tested it yet either.
So to your point, it's like, it's, it's about 240 miles of range,
but it's not like Edmonds has taken it to the test track just to see
like does it quick.
Is it like, I'm sure, yeah, I'm sure to say, yeah, I think he did.
Right.
Yes.
I saw the preview for, but I didn't watch it.
So I don't know, like, is it quick?
Does it handle?
Does it perform?
Does it stop?
Does it feel safe?
Does it feel, you know, stable?
It does the standing quarter mile.
I'm looking at the facts right here in a 9.50, 0 to 60 in 2.1.
Oh, no, that's the wrong car.
That's a Bugatti.
No, but you have to look at the general purpose of this thing.
Let's take a kid that's in high school or college and you need to buy him
something that you think's going to be reliable and he can get in and drive
every day and not have to worry about.
Boom, you hit that.
How about the parts runner at the Napa Auto Parts store that's been driving
the clapped out Toyota for, you know, you know, remember in the 70, the late
70s and into the 80s when the mini trucks came out, the love and the Toyota
and all that.
I mean, man, they were big subculture.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And if they do this right and it's reliable, it really could be.
And with what you were saying, Aaron, with the 3D printing culture, there
could be some really cool things available that you either buy it made
or you buy the, you know, the program and you print it yourself.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm kind of digging the idea.
I've been following along a little bit.
Give you a little bit of reference.
The initial numbers are up to 240 miles of range, depending on.
There might be more than battery.
Zero to 60 in eight seconds and top speed of 90 miles an hour.
Yeah.
You know.
They show a photo of it, Tony, in like a four by six U-Haul trailer, but
there's nothing in the trailer.
The trailer is 3D printed.
Yeah.
It's like, you know what we could do is we could, we could come up with
some 3D printed performance parts, like a 3D printed blower that you just
drill two holes and stick to the top of the hood.
Yeah.
Or maybe, maybe dual, you know, turbos where they stick through like some of
the tuna cars do, you know, and stuff like that.
How about some, what am I trying to think of the things people used to put
on their car to keep things from splashing up the quarter panel?
Splash guards.
3D print splash guards that from the back, it looks like you got a narrowed
rear end.
Right.
And giant tires.
How about a 3D printed wide body?
Yeah.
Do you like a rocket bunny kid on the slate truck?
Yeah.
Okay.
Coming out quarter four.
I got to say, they said they were going to get it to market and they did.
Yeah.
Let's see if it really happens.
That'll be the big thing.
Yeah.
They're starting to roll out now, right?
Quarter four.
Q4 this year.
Okay.
Soon.
Yeah.
Great.
Now, this reminds me of something Matt and I were talking about, which is
another car that they're trying to bring to market.
It's called a, it's a Chevrolet model.
It's a new name.
I've never heard of before.
It's the Camaro.
I think it's a Camaro is how it's pronounced.
Yeah.
No, you nailed it.
That's good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's funny because our performances, I don't want to say it's like making a comeback,
but we had this EV thing going on for a while and then performance is, is coming.
Well, first of all, I think in the first quarter of this year, Ford Mustang sales were up
50% because there's no other real options out there, right?
Like what do we, we don't have the gas prices.
Like the charger was an EV and now they're trying to roll out the gas engine version of
it.
And people, it's not quite the same.
And it's a six cylinder.
Man, you do not see those on the street at all.
The sales have got to be so soft on those.
Haven't seen one.
Oh my God.
You know, so GM is saying they're working on a new platform, which could underpin a
new Camaro, a new Buick and a new Cadillac CT5.
Which, you know, could be interesting.
And we do have a new engine, right?
The new Corvette Grand Sport has that, the new engine, the 6.7 liter of V8, you know,
good horsepower, good torque numbers, you know, and, you know, the more things you can put
that in, the lower cost it is overall for them.
So, I mean, it'll be in the Corvette, but it'll be in trucks and SUVs, probably, you
know, certainly pickup trucks.
So, yeah, it could be interesting.
But you know, Infiniti and Nissan at the New York Auto Show, they were talking a lot recently
and both the heads of Infiniti and Nissan, it's one parent company, but the heads of
those brands are both sort of car guys now.
They've had some new management.
And they're saying we need high performance halo vehicles.
And we know we're not going to sell a lot of them, but we need to bring this attention
back to the brand and have it in all of these car companies that does a great job of
upselling the rest of their cars.
So, they looked at the Cadillac CT, is the CTS V, or the Cadillac V, the Escalade V.
The V's.
Keep up.
Right.
And Infiniti has already rolled out like a 600 horsepower concept of their big SUV that
we saw up at Monterey and they're saying 600, we could do 700 horsepower, but we're fully
aware of what Cadillac's doing and we like it.
And we can do it.
We're down to do a 700 horsepower high performance SUV.
They also talked about a new high performance sedan with a manual transmission.
So, you're probably looking at 400 plus horsepower, four door super sedan with an optional manual
transmission.
And they already said like, we have no idea how many people would buy the manual transmission,
but we just love the idea of having just a proper manual, just put a Tremac six speed
or something in it and making a cool, fun sedan.
And again, you guys were talking about YouTubers and stuff, like they would eat that car up
and that car would pull money years from now on bringing a trailer.
Look at the Cadillac CT SV.
If you got a CT SV wagon with the manual in it, those are cool and those are pulling
the money all for that manual transmission.
And then the last bit of news from them was they were saying, well, we are going to do
a new GTR.
It's going to be a minute, but we're looking at it and the Nissan GTR.
So, Infiniti's doing some things, but a new GTR, there was rumor of it being an EV.
We're going to do a high performance EV.
Well, now they're not doing that.
They said the GTR block is super strong.
It has a lot of advancement in it and they kind of want to base an engine around that.
It could have a completely new top end, new pistons, new linings, new heads, new intake,
what have you, and it'll probably be paired with a hybrid system.
So it will be a high performance hybrid like the Corvette, you know, Zero one X or, you
know, Acura NSX and some of the supercars are out there.
But that's probably not, that probably wouldn't be announced until 2027 with a car rolling
out maybe 2030.
So we've got some time before that comes out.
But yes, Nissan is going, we do need to bring a GTR back.
We need a successor to the current model.
I'm sorry, that sounds so weird 2027.
It's like, yeah, but it's like 2015, right?
I go, it's so far in the future.
They go, we could roll this out by 2030.
I'm like, that's 10 years from now.
Yeah.
Wait a minute.
Like can I even drive then?
It's like three and a half years from now.
Yeah, pretty crazy to think that.
So anyway, so performance, performance vehicles, you know, from the OEs are coming back and
not everything has to be like EV and not everything has to be DCT transmission.
And you can't, you know, like everyone's chasing after that big number.
It's nice to see a company like Nissan overall going, you know, we're down with the main,
they just did it on the, on the, on the new Z Nismo, right?
They said, well, we announced the Nismo and our flaw was we only offered it in an automatic
and they're like, we fixed the glitch.
Here's the remedial transmission.
The issue has been with launch control and all wheel drive systems is how do you get
a manual transmission that can reliably handle that amount of torque?
But companies like Tremac are stepping up and going, we'll do it.
We're making it.
Like we're starting to do more robust, you know, transmissions.
And if those transmission suppliers can step up and provide what they need, then, then yeah.
Also, keep in mind anytime you're talking about a high performance vehicle and you go, oh,
we just need a transmission that can handle 600 pound feet of torque.
That's easy.
But when you modify it and you make a thousand pound feet of torque, they don't want you
to blow up the transmission.
You know, so anyway, some sports sports sports sports sports.
So back to that Camaro.
If they have another generation, another round of Camaros, do we call it a comeback?
Or don't call it a comeback?
Well, I think when they discontinued it, they knew they were going to bring it back.
That's kind of the.
Don't call it a comeback.
Isn't it?
No, I got your LL Cool J joke.
I got your joke in there.
Yeah, we were just skipping over it.
No, you were.
You know, come on, man.
I missed it.
Listen, I would love to see a Camaro, you know, come back.
I think I think GM has some interesting.
I just said, don't call it a comeback.
OK.
I don't want to use reimagining because that word is way overdone now in the car world.
Reimagined, reimagined, reimagined.
Well, all I know is the next time they kill it, I'm going to the U.S.
Trademark office and I'm going to file for the trademark because they I know they're
going to bring it back at some point.
They're going to bring it back at some point.
That's why they keep renewing it, right?
Yeah.
Listen, I love the idea of pony car wars.
I love the idea of one car company pushing another on innovation.
So I'd love to see a Camaro come back.
I'd like to see, you know, a charger.
It's very confusing because the charge was two doors.
There was a four door and now the challenger's gone.
Now there's a charger, two door and four door.
And I was like, I don't really get it, but I love to see one with like an eight cylinder
and two doors and compete with Mustang and Camaro.
All right.
I think we can end it on a Mustang and Camaro right there.
The old pony car wars.
Real quick.
Speaking of pony cars, I made a mistake early when I was joking about David Lee and Lamborghini
and you said that's a bull.
Absolutely right.
I was thinking, which other crest has a horse on it?
Porsche.
It was Porsche that has a horse in the center of the crest on it.
I totally biffed that.
So excuse me.
We wouldn't even have known if you hadn't brought it to our attention.
Excuse my aging brain.
But I trip about this stuff.
If I make a stupid mistake and I catch it, I obsess about it and I have to make it right.
That's just, that's me.
You notice how one shoulders drop more?
That's the little thing whispering in my ear going, you got that wrong.
Make it right.
Make it right.
This side doesn't give a shit.
Look, he's all elevated.
He's like, this side.
See the weight?
See the drop in the...
I think that Porsche has got one of those little mini donkeys.
Yeah.
I was going to send you guys, somebody did a great animation of a bull and take it on
the back of a horse.
It was good.
Maybe I'll send it to you, buddy.
Just laugh.
Just laugh during the day.
That's it.
Just a couple of laughs a day.
Better than any vitamin C.
Oh, speaking of which, we've got dad's multi vitamins over the holiday, over Easter.
Hope everybody had a nice holiday if you do that same.
But yeah, we got dad's new Red Rocker vitamins.
His male men's multi, women's multi, and then his morning energy drink.
Yeah.
It's pretty cool.
It's good stuff.
What is it?
I didn't know anything about it.
Yeah.
Here.
I'll grab.
Yeah.
Sammy's launching a vitamin line.
Is this one of those where like...
So dad's launching a vitamin?
I buy a box of them from you and then I start making money off of yours.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
It's a multi.
No.
It's a multi vitamin, not a multi-level plan.
Yeah.
No, it's not a pyramid scheme.
Yeah.
So these are dads, two of dad's new products.
I think they're going to make the bottle smaller and the volume inside bigger.
So they said, oh, are these samples?
And he goes, no, I know, I know.
There's like 30 capsules takes up like this much room.
This big old bottle.
Now, are they chewable or are they swallow?
No, no.
These are a capsule.
Okay.
Time release capsule.
Okay.
30 capsules.
Yeah.
And then the drink powder is a drink powder, but it's a berry flavor.
It's pretty good.
But yeah, I'm curious.
I'm curious.
There you go.
Are they coming to market yet now?
I believe they will be soon.
I think that they're going to tweak the design a little bit and do some stuff.
But the packaging is really cool.
It's got like this satin package with a little gloss print on the tops,
some embossing and it's a nice product, red bottles, of course.
They launched their website, red rocker essentials.
Yeah.
It's cool.
So I'll promote those.
Check it out.
Look at that.
In fact, we got two bottles of each and I put one bottle in the other just because
it seemed more of a practical idea.
Wait a minute.
You mixed the men's with the women's?
Bob, I was going to have a hairy chest.
Yeah.
Clearly I haven't taken them yet because I've got serious brain fade today.
So let's see how that works.
Let's see if that improves over the next few weeks or months.
I got the website on that.
I hadn't known about that.
Check it out.
Red rocker essentials.
Anything, man?
Anything?
You got anything to talk about?
No, that's it.
Hopefully you guys are getting all your events lined up.
NHRA this weekend, Grand Prix of Long Beach, Porsche Air Water Event all in April.
Coming up in Southern California, that's for sure.
And everybody, I want to announce that episode number two of Saving the Chevelle.
We just ran out of time.
I know.
Drops tonight.
Drops tonight.
And so by the time this show comes out, it will be up.
And I appreciate all the support, man.
Everybody's been going there, watching it.
And we're getting more subscribers, getting more comments, and getting more views.
So thank you very much.
Great.
I'm going to continue to work on this and more episodes to come.
But episode number two drops tonight.
So thank you, everybody.
And go to bondspeedstreetwear.com.
It's spring.
That means you need some new t-shirts and hats.
So go check them out.
And it would be great because I can pay my grocery store bill then.
Thank you.
Yes, because every bit of funding has been diverted to the Chevelle fund.
Oh, yeah.
Everything's been diverted to my wife's fund.
That's where it's all gone.
This remodel is going to kill me, man.
Oh, yeah.
Timing.
Timing.
It hasn't even started yet.
It doesn't even start until next week.
And I'm already going, wait a minute.
She's got stuff showing up and stuff she's buying.
You know how that works.
That's her car restoration.
It starts out in this number and ends up on this number.
And then she's like, Oh my God.
Yeah.
Well, see what I do is I have my contractor come in and I have him
bid a really extraordinary number.
So she's like, Oh my God. Yeah.
See, you got to save some money on what you're spending over here and
doing that.
And then I haven't come in with the real number and I pay him.
So.
All right, guys.
Hey, we'll be back next week.
And that's a promise.
Not a threat.
Thanks for listening to shift instead.

About this episode
Brad’s Show Now (Shift & Steer EP563) blends NHRA Winter Nationals talk, listener Q&A, and hot takes on where the hobby is headed. They debate rain odds for Pomona, the 1,000th competitive funny car milestone, and Pro Stock hood-scoop visibility. The hosts answer questions about a sold Mustang “mock one,” multiple rat rods in museums, and how long a Chevelle rebuild will take. They also discuss custom-building getting better via CAD/3D printing, what automotive trends may fade (extreme aero, EV conversions), and the coming Camaro comeback, plus a side trip into the modular electric Slate truck.
