God's Garage: The Unseen Impact on the community! We also have This Week In Auto History!
About this episode
Exploring the impactful work of God's Garage, Brad Thompson shares how the nonprofit provides reliable transportation to single moms, widows, and military spouses. The discussion highlights their innovative approach to vehicle donations and repairs, alongside life skills training for recipients. The episode also features automotive news, including a record FCC fine for illegal telemarketing and updates on GM's bi-directional EV charging plans. Listeners will gain insight into community-driven initiatives and the evolving automotive landscape.
On this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk, we'll be talking hefty fines, revolutionary tech, and how one organization is changing lives one car at a time.
We kick the show off with a discussion on the whopping $300 million fine for illegal service contract telemarketing and the FCC's spoofing laws. From there, we will then address the dwindling consumer enthusiasm for EV technology, despite General Motors' ambitious plans for bi-directional charging.
We also bring in Brad Thompson from God's Garage. We talk about the changes they've implemented, delve into the impact of donations to helping people, and salvage sales, and debate the potential of salvage sales as a car source for the 24 Hours of Lemons race that we talked about earlier.
Brad shares how God's Garage has been a lifeline for single mothers, widows, and military wives, and we wrap up with a nostalgic journey back in time revisiting defining moments in automotive history with Konrad DeLong – This Week In Auto History.
