Join Dave and the Guy's as we dive into the never ending problem with car interiors. We explore why some cars look great on the outside but fall short on the inside. Hold on as we shift gears to into the interesting fact that gas stations owned by the same company can have different prices, sometimes up to 30 cents difference even when they're just a few miles from each other. As a extra bonus we make a lap around the conversation once again as Uber's fires up for their upcoming car share program and what it means for the future of transportation.

busy morning, so we headed out to chessp Cars and Coffee. Big event
this morning. A lot of cars showed up. You know what if you
guys have never had the opportunities I tell you all the time to get over there to chestpa Iss been turning into a very large event. I think it
keeps on getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Um it has big
showing from the media, media, Miata crowd over there. So yeah,
like I said, you know, we do a lot of traveling. We
do go to a lot of different events, been a lot of events in different states, and I'm going to tell you that that event is crazy uber cool um on a spectrum of I mean, like so you know, it reminds me of when we went to Seema. It reminds me the Seema rollout,
like at the end of Seema. I mean that's just how many cars
are starting to like really start to pack into that thing. And there's something
for everybody. So you guys know, on the realm, as far as
how I like to see things, I like to see a little bit of everything, and chest p Cars and Coffee has really turned into a little bit of everything. As far as different genres of cars, you know they're super
Yeah, they're Jeeps, cars, supercars, you name it. There's like
I said, there is something there, so I like it. I had
a lot of good, uh conversations with all kinds of people this morning, really got to see saw old friends, met new friends. Got a chance
to talk with office or Smith this morning. Him and I really got a
chance to kind of sit out and talk about community and everything like that.
And you guys really know how important that is to me. Where we get
to really sit business owners got a chance to sit and talk with them and stuff pretty cool. So here's something and I got centered on my phone.
If you guys are looking for something new to kind of check out, which is kind of cool if you guys. If you guys didn't know so they
are, let me roll it up here. Team Envious Worldwide Club. They
have a their local seven by seven chapter event. Every second Tuesday. They
have a meet over at the Garage Brewery that's over at ten eleven Edon Way and Chester Speak. So if you guys are in the area. I know
people listen nationwide, but if you happen to be in our area and you're in the Chesapeake area, it's at ten eleven Eton Way in Chesapeake. It's
they have a new car featured inside every month. It's just a kind of
cool place to relax, have a good time, hang out, talk car stuff, and just meet new people. A real chill event. From I
understand, it's kind of like a nice, just laid back community event.
Go on over there. Like I said, every second Tuesday. They're kind
of doing a little thing for what I understand. It's starting to get a
really good following over there, so mark it on your calendar. Remember that
I told you guys, Like I said, if you guys happen to roll through, if you guys want to roll on through, you look for something to do, you know, and you just want something that's school and you come out from Suffolk Alo area. Like I said, I know there's people
listening in Texas, and I know there's people listening all over in Vegas and Nevada. All our listeners. You guys, hey, you know, if
you guys happen to have nothing to do on Tuesday, you want to roll through. I'm just saying, but all local people stuff in the area,
definitely come check it out. Camera's trying to set some things up, guys.
So just so you guys know, and Camera's got something else for me too to roll through. Also, du Mars rousin. I know a lot
of people, uh have kind of things. So here's the thing, you
know, sitting there. I was talking at the car show today and they
were talking like a lot of people have forgotten kind of about Dumars or the idea about Dumars. Another local thing goes on over in Norfolk. A lot
of people are on the impression that Dumars is just for the Mustang Club.
It's not. It's all make, all models for Dumars out there. So
if you haven't been out for the Dumars event in downtown Norfolk, it's every Wednesday. Every Wednesday, Yes, okay, so it's every Wednesday, guys.
And if you guys never been to Dumars, I don't have the address on it, but everybody should know where Dumars right off streets. Yeah,
it's right down from where our old studio. If you guys remember when our
studios down Norfolks, right down the street from us by Manicello over there in that area. So you guys should look up Dumars. You got should be
able to find. It's it's a staple. Everybody knows what they're doing.
Yeah, they're doing Wednesdays Wednesdays at six o'clock. Uh, it is not
just everybody's like that's just for the Mustang Club. No, it's not.
It's all made, it's all models. It was just been hosted by the
Mustang Club forever, but it was all all makes, all model, uh shows. So I get those two out of the way because, like I
said, I had great conversations um while I was at the event, and everybody was like, hey, make sure which which one buddy. Well,
He's like, hey, you want anyway everybody comment. Um by the way,
if um, I know that our the intro was just cut off a little bit. So I do want to say thank you to all of our
sponsors. You know you got NAPA, BDG Auto Group, UM, Perfect
House Team. He also got transmissions all of them. Curtis Construction, you
know, yeah, so Anchor Mobile Concrete, so all of them, like I said, trying to get them all in there. Like I said,
uh, make sure that like you guys check everybody out. Say you know,
we go through a lot of stuff. You guys know, I tell
everybody you know, the show is nationwide. There's a lot of people people
that pick it up. They play and they have their own commercial breaks and
all that kind of stuff. But for all of our local sponsors, like
saying NAP and everything in our big groups, so you know, we very much appreciate. So we're gonna jump into it. If you guys saw the
title the show today, uh, it's kind of your So you know, Nathaniel is bougie. I use the term bougie all the time, but he
is. I love Nathaniel does he need green tea, does he eat green
tea? And does the only drink deer Park water. We know you are
listening inside jokes, inside jokes, so it's, uh, it's one of those things. So Nathaniel, I think Nathaniel and I we definitely agree on
this topic, but he's a little worse than I am when it comes to it. So the biggest problem with it is I think car designers they put
a lot of time into designing cars and they go way out of their way design. I agree, design a really nice car, but then you sit
down into the car right, and as far as I'm concerned, when you're designing the car and you're trying to get into the car and you're trying to make it look right and everything else like that. Um, as far as
one of the things with the car is is uh trying to sign me someone uh with one with one of the things on the car, they stop in the interior, like the design of the interior just seems to stop, kind of just kind of go with the wave they use like the last year previously, they don't really change it up and it's all very cheap, composite.
Yeah, not even the last year it's like they just as somebody said the show, the brand new Mustangs just made out of plastic, you know, and that's the reason why he won't go buy it. Okay, Yeah,
so, I mean I will say that twenty twenty three is a lot nicer than the predecessors, But when you go to like oh five, it's all plastic. And I'm just not in the switches when they try to do all
like I don't even what you call is but tagle switches, I don't think, Yeah, I get what you're talking about. I just I think we
probably, I mean truly could have like went deeper into interiors on a lot of cars. Like there's a lot of nice cars out there, but then
you get in the interiered and you're like, why did you stop, like on the interior, why like why didn't you take it? Why isn't things
wrapped in leather and stitch and stuff, especially on some of the nicer car especially sports cars and stuff. I mean that one car show you were mentioning
in the beginning, it's every second Thursday, second Thursday, second Thursday.
Yep. So when we look up the information, we'll have to say it
on the next oh it is I'm sorry, I read wrong. It is
every second Thursday. Read I read it wrong, not Tuesday. I'm sorry.
Yeah, so team MBOUS worldwide is every second Thursday. I'm wrong,
I'm I'm I'm ready reading it a little upside down backwards everything. Yep,
every second Thursday second. Can we rewind that camera will snip it later,
pretend like I didn't do it. It's okay, it's but I got up
at six o'clock this morning to make sure I was out at car shows, like, yeah, he was, camera was getting all the monster stuff together.
So yeah, don't tell nobody camera's Hey. By the way, it's
Thursday, buddy, not Tuesday. Somebody commented, So that's the only reason
why I was trying. Look, look, look, hey, even personalities
get things wrong. Two guys, we're not perfect. I'll be the first
one to say I'm not perfect. Anytime I try to tell you that I'm
perfect, just remind me I'm not. Thank you for letting us know.
Ben, We see your comments and hope their day's going well. Yeah yeah,
so yeah, yeah, yeah, it's yeah, I'm not perfect, but thank you for reminding me. Remember, if you guys ever do want
to comment, into the show. You can go on to Facebook that let's
talk cars radio or text me at seven five seven eight six six two one nine two. Yeah, we do have a call in line, but we've
learned over the years of eight years of doing it that people people don't like to call it. They'd rather text us everything else. Yeh, man friend
does call it though old man Fred does like calling it. Dude, well
man Friends is the coolest guy ever. The other day when we were at
a show, he does try calling it. We couldn't. He couldn't get
my remote. But there's other people that call it, and they do call
it in orly. But a lot of people call it the this they do
and they leave me a message. It's like, hey, I didn't want
to be on the line. I didn't want to be on the air,
but I just wanted to leave you a message. So it does. It
happens. But so anyway, like I don't understand, Like, so if
you buy like a sixty thousand and seventy thousand and eighty thousand dollar car, you can buy a lesser car. Why we stop on the interior of the
car, like all right center console, right leather wrapped, should be hand stitched. Well, I'm not talking I don't know why it's plastic, Like
even all the way think down the whole box. Everything should be wrapped and
should be hand stitched. Or I won't even say it's like not how it's
made, but it's just the practicality of it. So it's like, you
know some kind of you don't want. I'm talking about more about like all
right, where the center console meets the cup holders, Okay, and it's like you can't put your hand on the on the arm risk because the couple holders in the way when you put a drink it there, or your like they didn't take it out. You're saying they didn't think you're planning, it's
not. The practicality is in there. So I'm one of the people.
I agree with you. I shouldn't have to reach far for the things I
need, Like if I got my hands on the wheel, the things that I'm gonna need, I don't want to have to reach far. License registration,
if it's a sports car license is a registration, there should be a compartment very close to be able to reach for it. I shouldn't have to
hold on an officer give me a second, and I shouldn't have to reach part for it. It should be there should be a little glove box that's
very close to my hand that I can be able to reach for. That's
so wrong. That's not even either right. It's like it should be on
the left hand side with its own little door that as soon as he comes up to the car and push a button and hydraulic opens this right there available a light or something against the sun visor. When um, you know it's
like click, It's like, oh, I got you. I promise the
police officer pulls you had a little voice that says, one moment, please it up. Your license pops out. That might solve some problems. I
was just talking about that day. I was like, we're talking about how
I talk on the show to you guys all the time about like when the officer comes up to you, you have have your license. Always have like
like I tell you have a little book and have it already so you just you grab it and you can hand them that little book that just has your registration, your insurance card, everything ready in it. So you're not dude,
stop fumbling around your car. I tell you guys all the time,
stop fumbling around the car. I have it all right there ready, roller
windows down, you can see through the car. I tell you, I've
been preaching this to you guys forever, but so we're talking about it at the car show today. But just have like a little a little door that
just kicks over on your car, and it has almost like the bank door, like when you go to are you gonna make you go to bank?
Drive through? The little door opens up at the compartment opens up on your
card, has everything to the father on center contra and everything. What about
the seatbelts? Do you think the seatbelts should stay plastic or do you I
already know my answer. I thought they should be the cotton fabric that they
use. Okay, so seatbelts are made out of what they are obviously for
a reason because they're strength tested and all that kind of stuff. So you
can't, I don't. You probably could mess with the seatbelt and make it
look nicer. But the stuff that goes around where the buckle is and stuff
like that, I think on a custom car there should be no buckle.
No, there should be a buckle. What do you mean? No,
you know, the little plastic it was around where the buckle is. I
think that should be leather wrapped and stitched and stuff and made to look nice, not just plastically and looks junky and like but when so, do you think that would look better than not having it at all? Though, like
you just have just the buckle itself put it in there? No, I
think like, No, I think like, I think you look nicer without the cover. The problem with it is and then when you buckle it in
you don't see the cover. Okay, but the problem is you ever seem
just handled like you'd have to make a special bucklestic office. Just a chunk
of metal with a big hole in it looks stupid dangling there. You do
realize why it's not in the seat, right, I mean you realize why there's just a little bit like of a little cord always hanging off of it.
And then it's that seat belt. It's because when you get into a
car accident, there's a piece that explodes and takes that seat belt. We're
not we're not we're not talking about that. We're not talking about the columns.
We're not talking about putting them up the columns. He's talking about where
the actual buckle plastic. You're talking about the metal part that's on the belt
itself, or the piece that actually clips on the metal piece you're talking about.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Ye oh you bet, Okay,
step aside of the seat belt, so that's my hands of the seat belts. See the seat belts. Fine, but any place like a plastic
e like we could have made those nicer, Like there's obviously stuff's there for safe, it's plastic something that That's what I was just thinking. That should
be all leather in hand stitched too. I mean saying all has to be
leather in hand stitched, but like because then you start getting into hand.
But we we we're so far past like like plastic, like we should have come up with something like And people are like, well some cars have carbon fiber. Okay, well some cars do have carbon fiber. But like we
should have been so past like carbon fiber or like we should be doing nice the car should be so much it was even though the trim was plastic, it had a a texture to it, not really a texture, but it had like a I don't have a backdrop, but it's still just as far as even when you get in there. Yeah, but it looked better than
just throwing in a one like one color template and you had the choice of you know carbon, or you had you know the look of carbon, the look of wood. I feel like that much a little better than just throwing
in it is you know, you could do Like I said, there's just so much stuff that you could do that could be done so much more like I said, you could go there. There's many levels of this. But
I gotta take a commercial break. We didn't come back with jump into it
just a little bit more because I'm just cure what more takes on. I
take a commercial break. I'll talk to you soon. You're listening to Dave

Radio, your automotive specialist. Now back to your host, Dave Palach.
Hey, guys, welcome back. So here's the thing. You know,
I was kind curious when a commercial break I was reading some of the little jogins that people were jogging in on it, and I guess I'm not the only one. I said, We're not the only one that feels that interiors
are lack luster. I guess is the best way to put it. So
if everybody kind of feels that way that interiors are not why don't we say something? I got to port like, I don't understand why the right Well,
no, why have the manufacturer done anything about it? Like, so,
if if interiors are shot, I'm like gonna say they're shoddy, they're short, they have a shortcoming. I guess it is the best way to
put it. Why don't manufacturers do put a little bit more into it?
They have no problem with upgrading, uh our cost on every little other thing they don't want to. Why don't you just like make the car a little
nicer on the inside. I mean, honestly, you're going to add a
cost to it. You know, we're going to pay pay a cost to
it. I mean, I just don't understand why if I'm when I sit
down in a car and I go, man, this is a really nice car. I like this car, and then I sit down in the car
and I go, man, I got As far as I'm concerned, I have another ten thousand dollars worth of interior work to do this car at a custom interior shop. If I really want to make this thing what you wanted,
what I wanted to be, and I don't think I'm maybe that And honestly, maybe that's why dealerships are always doing their own twists to it, because they realize that people don't get ready to get into that. So when
I worked at the Toyota dealership many many moons ago, I didn't like it, but not because it was Toyota. I just did You're selling cars people
camp or selling cars people going for um, and I'm just not that guy.
But we did mods to the interiors, so we are doing a lot like we and we had people asking for it, so and then it just became our thing, I guess. But we had people are like, hey,
canum, can you guys take this out? And can this be wrapped
in leather? Can it? And we're talking like we did some corollas.
Yeah, yeah, we did some corollas. We did some leather upgrades to
crolls because people just want it's just a nicer, little bit nicer. We
did a lot of cameras though, we did a lot of the car.
Your car is your only except from your home. You know, And it's
gonna sound bad when I say it, but your home has other things that you can't get away from kids, wife, husband. It's because we high
girls were listening to the show. Was gonna seem strange. But we did
a lot of other rap steering wheels on cameras, and we did a lot of the leather with some suede work and stuff like that on the consoles center consoles of cameras and stuff like that, just to give it. And they
did inlays on the door panels just to give it a little bit more richer feel feel yeah on the car because it's like literally, it's your only and back then, so back then it wasn't really expensive our costs, I don't I can't remember what we were pushing it out the door for, but the markup on it, like it wasn't a whole lot of money to have that work done, because that's just what moved the car. Well, people like
ask me all the time, where you know, that they don't buy in this new car and everything are trying to buy in your car? Right,
trying to buy the two different cars that yeah, And a question came up and was like, well, why is he trying to spend so much money on a new car. And I'm like, look, I understand where he
says money, I don't understand this is money. It's his money. That's
number one reason. But the number two things is there's two places you spend
most of your time at your house and your car. And if you say
no, I don't spend that much time in your car. You got to
use your car to get to places. So obviously, you know, here's
the thing. When you sit down in your car, you want it.
You want to sit down in your car. It's your car. Once again,
well here's the thing I mean when you go to buy a new car towards the whole thing. Apparently, like I talked to sales guys and they
don't even remember some of this these tricks. But the whole trick when you
you roll through the front of the showroom and they had the big glass windows, and you you made sure they went past the glass window and you pointed at it and like take a look and they could see themselves driving their car before they bought it in that big showroom glass as your front showroom. Why
because people could see themselves driving their car and their mind takes possession of that vehicle because they can picture themselves driving their car. That was a sales tax
back in the day. So with that being said, flip everything right,
touch everything, get the buttons, and your mind starts to take possession of that vehicle when it's no different. When you sit in that car, you
want to have feel like it's yours, Like you know what I mean, Like so everything is you feel good in it. Everything feels good and touch
and it looks good and stuff. And I think that's where manufacturers have missed
that gap. You get in the car and everything's tinny and it's plasticy,
and the outside the car looks great, but the inside of the car isn't.
You don't know. I want to I want to like a good comfortable
leather chair man. You want to slide into that thing. Another thing I
think they should do um with like sales people and everything. And I see
one company doing it, you know, because I go through all the social media and one company does it. They have their technicians or their sales people
pick out a car and it's their car for the week, you know, and you especially study up on the car. Now they still do that stuff.
Well, what I think they should do is, you guys got so many cars out there. You guys obviously have one that's for the dealership.
You know, why not get those sales people to drive those cars for like a week. Hey, don't use your personal car to come to work.
Borrow that car for a week, because you're going to be able to sell that car. Are way faster, you know about that. But they used
they used to do that, and maybe they don't do it anymore. They
used to do that. I can't remember what manufacturer it is, and maybe
they're still doing if you guys know telling me if they're still doing this, But they had. There was a manufacturer was doing the you buy the car
program but you don't actually own a car and you just come and trade cars out. Really, yeah, there was a manufacturer was trying that, and
they may still be doing it. I want to say, I thought it
was Ford that was doing it. But you buy the like you buy the
car program and you don't actually own a car. It's like almost like a
least program, but you can come trade the car out. So let's just
say you want a Mustang, you drive a Mustang for six or seven months, and now you need an suv because you're gonna go do some road tripping or something like that. So you just come and you just trade it out
and you grab an suv and then I remember it, Yeah, it wasn't.
We and I talked about it Ford. I think it was enter Price
if you remember correct it they were going to do. I remember you were.
They were talking to allow you to rent a vehicle and lets you didn't rent it or not. It was a pro it was a program. It
was like a program. And basically if you were going to go on a
vacation and needed a bigger vehicle, yeah, but you had your primary, and then you could just come vehicles at any time, yeah, and then come pick back up your primary afterwards. But you never really owned You never
really owned any vehicle, not even in your primary. Didn't You could just
like, let's say you want an economy vehicle because you want to get better gas knowledge for a while, you can come grab an economy vehicle and you just constantly swap vehicles. It was a program. I swear it was two
years ago when they came up with that. We discussed it on the show,
and I can't remember, and I thought it was one of the manufacturers was doing it, but I can't, but it was this whole program and then you just never heard anything about it after that for a while, and I thought it was an interesting concept. It was really one like ride share
and all that really kind of started really kicking off, and it was an interesting concept. But it was also because gas prices were starting to kind of
get up there. Nobody really wanted to have like a gashog in the driveway,
but they kind of needed it sometimes for road trips. And then some
people wanted to have the feel of a muscle car sometimes that maybe they didn't want to constantly own one. Like I said, it was just an interesting
concept, which brings us kind of around to the whole gas thing, which is is really blown my mind. You know now, I told you my
family was in the gas business when I when I was younger, and we had gas stations and stuff, and Nissan. To answer your question, Nis,
Nissan and somebody else did it. Yeah, somebody else was going to
be. Sign and Honda were both the two companies that were looking into doing
it. Honda looks like they had I swear it was Chevier four they had
it too, because there was I remember it was a big suv was available, and neither one of them have a large suv. Really. Yeah,
it's so like I said, it was a weird concept. But like I
said, it brings you around to the gas conversation, and so, like I said, with with our family being into the to the gas kind of thing, like I said, when I was a kid, I have an understanding of how gas works and I have an appreciation for guess you don't make a whole lot of money on gas at least it was never designed. It
was never designed for the make a whole lot of gas. The reason why
gas, the reason why gas station and convenience stores and popped up. You
had gas, and then people started putting convenience in it because you couldn't make a whole lot of money on gas, so you had to have another reason too to make money, so people start putting people started putting convenience stores in.
So why you were getting your gas, hopefully you bought something at the convenience store with it's an offset the gas, and then you had repair shops connected to it, so then it was like the repair shop, you made money on repairs, you made money on the convenience made money on a little bit of everything. It all went together. My question is now, like
things have kind of went different as time has gone on and the idea of the modern convenience store. There's still some mom and pop stations out there,
which is great because you guys know I love anything that's mom and pop.
But I ran into a little bit of situation within these last couple of weeks and it just really blew my mind and made really really kind of rethink some things. I want to jump into it, but I got to take commercial
break. When I come back, we're gonna talk about modern day gas stations,
and you guys tell me what you think whole tight and I'll talk to you soon. You're listening to Dave Colauch on Let's Talk Cars Radio. Dave

Talk Cars Radio. You're automotive specialist. Now back to your host Dave Palatch.
Hey, guys, welcome back. So, if you guys are paying
attention, and I kind of left you on a little hanging there between commercial break, we're talking about gas stations and just a different how mom and pop gas stations just run. You know, how convenience stores developed, how I
ended up having auto garages inside. And I say, because you couldn't make
a whole lot of money on gas. I got like back when we were,
if you made seven cents when we were, my family was in the business, if you made seven cents on a gallon, I mean you were doing really well on seventh cents on a gallon, I mean super super well.
So that doesn't sound like a whole lot of money. Or maybe you
guys, that seems like a whole lot of money seventh cents on a gallon.
You guys like, man, they're they're making a killing when you think of how many cars come in and go out and stuff like that, Well, seven cents on a gallon, truly take it from somebody on the side of being in the gas business. It isn't a lot of money when you
start thinking about making a payment on the building that you own, and your taxes as you pay, and you know, paying people to be here, and then all the stuff it takes to run a auto garage with gas pumps and all the different stuff. And everybody's like, oh, you're making a
killing on you know, car repair and stuff. Well that has its other
side. So then you got the people that you got to pay for car
repair, and you guys, anybody's in the automotive business. So a lot
of you guys are listen to the show have auto garages and stuff like that.
You know that comes with this. It's all side of problems and everything
on the hougo garage side of business. So there's money that's sociodat. So,
like I said, if you made seven cents on a gallon back in the day, you were doing very very well. A lot of times you're
more like in the three cents of a gallon, you know. So,
which isn't a whole lot of money. Well the business wasn't gas. It
was all right, that's why you had it. That's why we first we
didn't have a gimvenience store. When when I was a kid, we just
had gas, and then the convenience was at it because we needed another way to make generate revenue. We hope that they stopped in and they bought a
soda pop or a candy bore. And then we added cigarettes, so cigarettes
we didn't have. Then we added cigarettes, and then cigarettes became a big
part of business because people stopped for cigarettes and there's money be made on cigarettes.
And then we had the auto garage and stuff like that, so you know, Dad worked on cars and stuff like that. So and then we
had we added toad truck business because that was another revenue to add. And
then we had put snow plows in the front of our toad trucks, so that was another revenue during the wintertime. And you can see how this snowballs.
Okay, So it comes down to so I was at a gas station and where I'm at gases was three or nine, which I cannot believe we're playing three o nine, but I guess it's better than some of the prices we were paying what a little while back, yeah, year ago, So three or nine, I'll take three o nine. Three or nine is what
I pay on my neck of the woods, and you guys are probably like, where are you paying three or nine day? I need three or nine.
Well, you guys know I live out in the country, so three or nine's not bad. I didn't get gas the other day because I wasn't
heading in the direction of my gas station. I was heading away from it,
and I was like, oh, I'll just get gas when I get up the road. Five miles up the road, by the way, different
distance basically between one gas the other, same gas station, owned by the same company. And this is important to know. I get to the next
one that's about five up, roughly five miles, it's three thirty nine, guys, thirty cent difference. I'm like, how is it now? This
is the same gas station and by the same company. I'm like, how
we had a thirty cent difference between one and the other at basically five mile distance between the two. So I go in Now what you guys have been
listening to the show for a while. If you haven't, you guys will
understand quickly my sense of humor, because I believe I have a pretty funny one. Anybody I don't, And I'm like, hey, I gotta get
the gas regardless. I mean, like, so I've already it's already in
my truck, and I was unempty. I was like, but just can
you just indulge me in this conversation and just tell me, like I know, being from a gas family, you already negotiate the price of the gas that comes in these trucks to deliver to your gas station, my gas station, and the gas station else because you guys are all the same name.
So that's already negotiated price for gas. So what's going in these tanks at
a negotiated rate the same company, by the same company, But five miles down the road it's three or nine and here it's three thirty nine. It's
a thirty cent difference. So just smile at me and tell me that you
understand that you know that you are. I can't use that word on the
air, but you know which word I want to use, because it''m a family show. Making mean you're making five dollars more at that gas station per
customer, because if let's just say, your tanks a fourteen gallon tank, mine's not mind twenty twenty five gallons, Okay, so you're making about eight dollars more, eight dollars more per customer. And remember how we were just
talking about a couple of shows ago. How I counted, what was there
forty pumps at wah wah and they're all I was at field. They're off.
I didn't say I could be at a Wawa. But I'm just sayings
like where you at a wawaf? Were you at a seven eleven? Right,
I'm not saying okay, So, but thirty guys thirty cent difference.
So, like I said, understanding how this works, pre negotiate rate that gas is already bought, and negotiate rate for what a month, two months, three months whatever their contract. I don't know what there's the agreements because
gas goes up and down, so you have to keep on negotiating your rate on the one of those structural role. So but you're already at a negotiated
rate. It's thirty cent difference between a five mile rate at the same place
I just wanted. I looked at the cashier. I know that the girl
beat the lady. She wasn't a girl, she was a lady. But
the lady behind I know she has nothing to do with that. I said,
But I just want you to smile at my smile to me and tell me it's you understand that you're putting it to every customer within five miles.
She goes, And I said, and that I you know that I understand that you guys are sticking at two people based on a demographic Now, if you don't understand the way that this works, maybe some of you guys do.
The way they do that is is because five miles down the road, more people live in a demographic area right there at that gas station then live where I live. And that's the reason why they do that. They realize,
per capita, more people live right around that gas station twice, they're going to fill up more, so they raise it thirty cents higher because more people live right around that gas station versus the one that I live at.
There's not a lot of people, which is funny though, because you would think rewards you get like a ten to fifteen cents off already, so it's kind of like, did you mark it up? But even people use your
reward. But even that, even if you use the reward, it's still
there's a reward at the one out by me too, so it doesn't change anymore. I know what I'm saying, though, It is like, right,
do you purposely mark it up more because you're offering Just think how much money there is in the exchange there, So how much did you really buy it at? If you can offer that ten cents off at whatever one you
go to, whatever the proce doesn't matter. I'm not saying that's where I
was at, because you know I could have been anywhere. But I'm just
saying, guys, I like, I just sat there and I cringed as I was pumping the game. Not that I don't care. I mean,
look, we all have to have the gas. Obviously, we had to
have lunch. You got electric car and you got Tesla like the cool little
pink one that I posted up there, you guys know the one. But
like I said, you know, I just as I was pumping, I was just like, ah, because they know that a bunch of you guys live around this one. They've raised it thirty cents, and the same truck
that's filling this right now as I sit here, is gonna go to mine five miles down the road and top them off. You know what I mean,
Like, it's just what a weird like big circle we live in that we just were just stuck. We're the the rats running in the race and
there's just no way to get out of it, and everybody goes, well, Dave, your family, you know came. I was like, yeah,
but we were like, you know, we were a family own garage, Like we had to negotiate the rates for that truck to come fill us off, you know, pump us off, and so I know how that all works, but we weren't. You know, well back then, I'm
gonna tell you right now, if my family found a way to make fifty five cents a gallon, like will you've been living in a taj mahal.
I mean, like, you know, my dad would have been doing backflips like you wouldn't believe. I mean, like, well, stuff just didn't
happen. Correct me if I'm wrong. But I feel like back then you
were also kind of like worried that your customer might go to somewhere else.
But now I feel like that isn't a problem nowadays because people don't want to waste her time. We had the gas station up on the hill just outside
of a nighbor field. In a while, there was one right down at
the bottom of the hill, and then another one down there, and I went down there. For the most part, everybody knew everybody, and you're
all running pretty much close to the same rates. And you and you were,
and if you made three cents on a gallon, you were doing something.
When the gas wars came around, you were lucky. If you're you're
you're making Like I said, if if you got lucky and gas prices fell low enough, if you made seven sense on a gallon, you were you were absolutely doing something. And that you might have got that for a week
and that was it and you're back down to like three. I mean,
that's just that's how it worked. I mean, just mm hmm. Interesting
thing to make you go. It's just like I said, it's crazy,
guys, And tell me what you guys think. I may I understand supplying
to man, I get it, Like we were just having this conversation to Thana or like, look, you got something, somebody needs it, it's yours to sell. That's what America's. That's what America. But at some
point in time, you just gotta go water. I feel icky, like
you know, right the whole So Nathaniel gave the gave the whole analogy of like he and I agree with him. I think water should have like a
cat price on it. Like look, if you want to sell at some
point, stay or federally, there should be like at least a dollar water or less water. Water water, and everybody and everybody deserves to be able
to have just water, right, you know, and a monster, you go have a monster, You pay the extra, you want to pay the extra. But for water, it should be dirt cheap. And I think
that's the community guy. I mean, like once away and I fall back
in community and family and all that kind of stuff. Like, look,
there's certain things in life. I think everybody should have access to, not
just water, but a lot of things in life. This should just have
a cat price that everybody deserves to be able to have. I don't care
who you are. Like bread, I think bread should have I think bread
should have a capped price where everybody should be a deserve to put bread on the table for their family. Certain things should just have a cat price.
And that's just the family man and me. You know, people are gonna
say, well, Dave, did dad, hey man, say whatever you guys want to say. I just I'm a family guy. I just think
there's certain things you should be to provide. I don't care at what money
you're at in life and how much you make, there's certain things you should be able to provide for your family. There should always have a cat price.
There's an Hones saying it's a lot of the luxury things. No,
just certain things should have a cat price. That's just that's just me,
and everybody goes, well, we didn't drink bottle water. We used to
get it from the sink. We used to get it from the from the
garden host. Yeah, I'd come from that generation. Guess what, there's
some companies, you know, people out there that are putting out some water that you would not dare put in your body. Michigan. On that note,
gotta take courcial break. When I come back, I ask more for
you. Hold tight, I'll talk to you. You're listening to Dave Pilach

back to Let's Talk Cars Radio. You're automotive specialist. Now back to your
host, Dave Palach. Hey, guys, welcome back. Hey, so
jumping into a new topic. I think we've exhausted exhausted gas topic. If
you guys want to jump in on that gas topic and tell me what you guys think, let me know. You guys have the emails, you guys
have everything. Camera's got a whole list of them. Day that let's Talk
Cars radio, Camera that, Let's Talk Cars Radio or VB and let's stock cars Radio. There you go, so send me what it is we're talking
about. It's funny we're literally just circling around the drain around, uh,
car share and all that kind of stuff. So it looks like Uber is
gonna get into car share. You've been following this, I have not,
which is a kind of interesting though they well, they talked about it before and now, like I think Uber, I think Uber just wants to have and I can't blame them, but I think they want to have their name into a little bit of everything. Well, they want to make, like
so if this takes off or that takes off, or this takes off, it's best for them to have their their hands like in the pocket of everything.
Right. Well, I feel like it's they've been shorted so much throughout
the years that they're not making probably what they were nearly making a couple years ago, and I think they're trying to get back into that. Well you
saw that if you if you're looking, you saw that they're doing like the kid Uber now Like so there's like I knew that was no, well, I knew that was it was that three years ago, Cameron. Three years
ago that we talk about we were talking about Uber kids. They wanted to
basically pick up the kids from their soccer practice or baseball practice, like about three It's kind of like that it's kind of like a dick. So there
and everybody said they weren't throwing their kids into some strangers. Right, they're
still talking, so I knew this was coming like three years ago. They're
certified though, well, well there's it is. But even then you can
still like, look, I can get all my credentials and I could turn into a creepo overnight, you know what I mean. Let's just be honest,
Like I get to be completely clean and then all of a sudden decide that like overnight I was selling nice creams and then I started picking kids up.
I mean, here's the thing. It's gonna sound weird, but let's
be honest, Like you could be like the most cleanest guy there is head and just been off the radar forever, you know what I mean, like because you never got caught, you know what I mean, Like you could be you could have been like a diddler for for years and just never got caught or you never thought about it. And also you woke up one you
know what I decided I wanted to do today, you know what I mean?
So like that just happens, like people don't think it, but it just happens. Not that I wish to that upon anybody. But let's just
be honest. Like we've all seen like the weird crime novel stuff that's on
Netflix that will make you let go. I never want to turn on a
TV again. I mean because well, yeah, you do, you go
down that rabbit hole. Like, don't watch Netflix in the middle of night,
guys. I like Netflix, but like it will scare the death out
of you. Start watching somebody drunk? What black mirror? Black Mirror.
No, Yeah, they can't do it. It's like a series or they
do kind of like um like futuristic like scenarios that like could happen if like we continue on certain paths. Cameron's staring out at me at the corner of
my eye and he knows, Like he's like, yeah, I dud the black hole, Like you go down that rabbit hole late at night and like you just don't, Yeah, because I do that at nighttime. I started,
all right, so he does what I'm talking about it he was staring at me. I knew he knew what I was talking about. Two months
I'm just will tell you He'll walk in that nine ten o'clock at night and I still have the TV off. Turned off, and everybody's like, why
do you keep the TV off? One? I like my piece of silence.
Two? A piece of silence? You mean my piece of quiet?
No, my piece of silence is a piece of silence where they're being just a piece of silent, piece of silence. Yes, okay, I'm gonna
start using that one, by the way, piece of silence two. Because
I'm afraid of what I'm going to put on the TV. This may be
putting on. So he put on a TV show called from at twelve o'clock
at night? How much stuff you try to turn me on? And I
forget because I start watching one and I forget for people. And this thing
I had, I had to be somewhere at like eight o'clock the next morning, eight o'clock at three walking up with him. Not because it was interesting,
but I was more afraid of when I closed my eyes what I was going to see. I mean, I was going to hear a knock and
anybody that's everyone a TV show? No, what's your grandma's grandma? Just
complain, yeahs not happening. I'm telling you, like I've gone. So
I watched like Law of the True crime stuff that they put and put on Netflix, like all the true stories, like the stuff they go through and you go down that rabbit hole and it's like, oh, I shouldn't watched a true story about I can't pronounce about the nuclear devastation that happened in Japan.
Not chernobyl, but M Thompson said, look at schools, they do background checks, etc. And they're still getting shady people getting arrested for very
true acts right right rights and manet the teachers. But teachers man like,
we said, you're right, you're riding the money thinking because it is like some of the stuff is like you're like like let me tell you something to freak me out, guys, and don't ever I need you to do it, but you probably don't want to do it. When they were younger,
so I went on the like the city at like child molesters and all that kind of stuff, and I clicked on that thing and watched the dots like pop up around where I lived at, and I was like, you're never going outside. It was like the worst I didn't know, like I guess,
like being a new parent back then, like I didn't know that thing existed. Somebody told me about it and I was like, surprised that you
had something good eye and I clicked on it and I was like I should not. I should not. Yeah, I was like I should have never
clicked on this. I'm like, you know, we gotta move, gotta
side my house, like but realistically where I lived at they weren't close, but they were too close for comfort, like where some of the dots popped up for me, Like it was just too close for comfort for me.
It was scary. And I was like, and that was like the beginning
of ever opening it up like Pandora's Box for me, where I was just like yeah, yeah, but no, like miss Thompson's right though, I mean some people in school and you're like, how did they ever get a Let me let me tell Carl. I always try a few car we I
know, we go on tangents, guys. I'm sorry, but car.
I opened up Netflix yesterday. There is a car new car show called tex
mex or mex tex Te. How did that mean? Get apprist? I
don't know. I have no idea, but as a car restoration show.
And it's Goott one of the guys I think he used to he used to be on gas. Yeah, now he's on. Now he's got his own
show, and I'm like, I literally I turned I was like, I turned it down. I was like, am I reading that right? Is
that really the name of the show? Like, first of all, isn't
that like tex mex is the name of food for in Texas technology? No,
I think they're like Texas and Mexico because that's the in description, like on the border of Texas and Mexico car Restorers Restored. I'm like, could
you think of it like a bet? I don't know. Maybe I don't.
Maybe it's just me. I was like, that was I don't know.
I don't know. I could have thought of a better order control where
we have build car That's why I was like, I was like border control gets together and the size of build home Rods. I was just like,
yeah, I don't know. It was a little strange for me. I
was like, I don't know, verk still out. I'll let you know
what I think. I hadn't watched it yet, I saw, but yeah,
don't go down the don't go down the rabbit hole Netflix at night.
You can find some weird stuff. That was one of them. You will
find some weird all right, here's another weird one for you. Ready,
I got I got that. This is this is the weird one for the
week. I'm always ready. Oakland County in Michigan. You guys see the
