Freedom Radio. I'm your host, Big davp, hang Out, Kim
Chaos and AVB. Hey, guys, it is a great, great
day for a radio show. I can't say that it's
a great day for a car show, although I know you guys keep on sending me pictures of ones that are going on. You guys are nuts, Yeah nuts. I
have seen pictures where it is freezing cold, and yeah no, I told you guys called shows a goo. I love cars,
talk about cars all day long. I'm not standing outside
in twenty degree temperature to look at cars.
Speaker 3: It's not happening.
Speaker 2: I mean, like I said, and I like cars. I'm
just not doing it. But I will applaud you guys
for your efforts. And I just somebody just sent me
one out here locally. You had a good turnout for
I mean, I was, like the days start off like twenty three degrees outside, and I mean like people are out there for a car show early in the morning. Man,
I mean you guys, do you I'm telling you I'm not.
Speaker 3: We wouldn't need ice for the monsters.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, no kid man, I just I'd bring you guys monsters.
Speaker 3: They'd be cold.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even need to put them on ice at all.
But we'll get back there. If you guys don't know
when we a lot of times when we show up to car shows unexpectedly throughout the America, we end up bringing monster energy drinks and muffins and all kinds of stuff.
It's called monsters and muffins, So you might catch one of those. But we tend to do that quite a
bit and we enjoy doing it. Hey, guys, I hope
you guys had an awesome Christmas. We are back from
our long needed vacation, long needed vacation. So it was
a great, great Christmas this year. There's a lot of
different car related stuff in our Christmas. It's probably because
we love cars, so from car t shirts to sponsor stuff to car parts. Got some more parts in for
Christmas for White Noise, so I'm kind of excited to do it. I need to share some pictures and I
got to give him a camera. I got some pictures
that got sent to me for a White Noise and it's it's definitely getting closer. I told you guys, it
is at a friend shop and they're doing some work to it that we didn't want to do. But I
got some pictures back from it, so it looks mean.
I shared some of the pictures with in a local group of people I deal with that build Novus, and even they are like, man, I think he's looking really mean.
I was like, I'm really liking the way it's coming out.
If you guys didn't happen to see our Christmas card, White Noise was on the front of our Christmas card we sent out to all you guys. If you guys
didn't go go over to Let's Talk Cars Radios page on Facebook and you'll see the Christmas card and the bad anmmated appearance. It's in the background too, that Christmas card.
So definitely go check that out. But gives you, guys
just a little bit sneak peek of what white noise is gonna look like when it's done. So yeah, it's
kind of cool, something different if you haven't checked it out.
Christmas this year, So I got some Nova parts, one of the coolest things, and I was talking with everybody online a couple of days ago. I was just curious,
you know, like what was the cool things everybody kind of got for Christmas that was car related?
Speaker 3: And I have one.
Speaker 2: It may not be like cool to you guys, but I've been wanting one and I hadn't bought it for myself, and I don't know why.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: I did a couple of things right, So I made a mistake and I ended up on the tool truck right before Christmas, which I probably shouldn't have done. And
I ended up at your low value tool store. You
guys know which one it is.
Speaker 3: You know. It may have you know, an H and
F in the.
Speaker 2: Label, but yeah, so I had up over there and I bought a couple of things I've been wanting right for Christmas. So one of the things I really and
I didn't buy it for myself, and I shut off because I thought somebody's gonna get it for Christmas.
Speaker 3: It didn't happen. But I I already know what it
is too. I already know what it is because I
literally told me. I said, by the way, I forgotten
to pick up that little magnifier glass thing that he wanted.
He wanted the little binoculars that clicked. I did. It's
it's okay.
Speaker 2: So there is a magnifying glass that is a helmet that you wear and you can twist it and you can turn it and you can add like magnification. I
think it's like eight times magnification or something like that, with a twist of a knob and you wear it like a helmet. And I loved it. I thought it
was great. I was just like, man, I really want this.
I was like, you know what, I don't put it on my Christmas list. I was like, that way, I
don't buy this place out because I can go there all the time. And I was like, and I don't
want to buy it, And then I feel so bad too.
Speaker 3: Because like, I know you sent me the photo of it, and like I ain't gonna live Pops, I forgot. I
forgot them too. I was like, what did I forget?
And I scrolling through the photos and every thing, and I'm like, but then I thought it was cool that you got the other one, the big one. It is
that you can.
Speaker 2: So I did get two things very similar.
Speaker 3: Now I cheat it.
Speaker 2: And I was at the store and I bought like a very small magnifying that sits up on the on the workbench. It's tiny because I'm getting older guys and
maybe the same way. When I'm working with like intricate things,
I want to be able to like really see. And
I realized, I mean, I think I still have decent eyes, at least, you know. The eye doctor keeps on telling
me I do. But I don't feel like I do.
When I'm working on intricate things. I'm kind of put
things together and having to notice that I haven't. I
have a set of readers I use every once in a while too, and I'm looking at the phone. Now
don't judge me, but UH like to look at So I saw this little one and I picked it up and it's got a like a cast iron base to it so it doesn't move around. So I bought it
and I had assemble it. You know, if you guys
get one, you'll see it's it's in the box. You
got to kind of put it together a little bit by through in the corner. So when I ended up
getting for Christmas, which was kind of cool, was I got a big one that's a uh tabletop one and it's a big, huge magnifying glass, like you know, I like that big and you can work underneath and looking really magnifize.
Speaker 3: It was cool.
Speaker 2: If that wasn't enough, uh, I got a stand one that actually sits on a ground, like a ground based stand.
It goes up on a pole and it has one you can move it around on a flexible neck.
Speaker 3: So so does it work? Does it connect to your phone?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: It does?
Speaker 2: You know that that would be pretty slick, you know what, that would be pretty slick if it did. Know it
just it just magnifies it and you and.
Speaker 3: You look see the screen right see through the screen.
Speaker 4: These kids, man, they always want something.
Speaker 3: It's not a bad idea. One thing.
Speaker 2: I mean I actually think that's actually a really good idea.
Speaker 3: You just called me a kid because if you put.
Speaker 2: If you put your work underneath underneath, and then your phone.
Speaker 3: Well imagine if you could just pinch with your phone and then it zooms in automatically for you. There might
be something you might have something there.
Speaker 4: No, no, it is or or we just look at what's being magnified. Hey, hey, he's like, I.
Speaker 3: Know penship to magnify even more, and I got fifteen X I. I think what I got is gonna gonna
work pretty well.
Speaker 2: So you know, I was glad, Like I said, I can see where the helmet would come in handy for the point of if you're kind of like looking around something like that. You know, obviously with the one I
have your your stationary looking straight.
Speaker 3: That why it was so big. It's a helmet that
you put on. The blue one that you put you
sent me. It's a helmet.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I didn't get the helmet one. I wish I
would have got the help I know, but that's the one that you sent me there. It's like I was
wondering why it was so hid.
Speaker 4: It's like a water's helmet. You can actually magnified.
Speaker 3: Eight times magnification in it, so it's almost like when you go to that little I prescription and he's like, tell me if you see this, ye this you know? Yeah,
it's like see both, What do you mean?
Speaker 4: Exactly?
Speaker 3: That's exactly how it works.
Speaker 2: So, like I said, on the tool truck, I end up buying and if you guys haven't got them yet.
And look before I say this, you guys know every time I have a conversation, you guys blast me.
Speaker 3: I think it's funny. I mean, I get it.
Speaker 2: Everybody's like, oh, you went to the crappy truck. No,
I went to the snappy truck. I like snap on
tools like I have. I have told you guys, I
have a lot of different tools in my toolbox, but I'm gonna say probably eighty percent, maybe just a little over eighty percent of my tools are snap on tools.
I grew up on snap on. Maybe you guys didn't,
but I did. I was introduced to snap on at
a very young age because my dad had a snap on tool truck, so he introduced me very young. I think,
like I said, I still have. I told you guys,
I stow. The very first ratchet was ever given to me.
I think it was given to be at like nine or ten years old to snap on ratchet. I still
have it to this day. It still works very well
and it's been The air gun still work. Yeah. I
still have my first air gun here right, knew my very first air ratchet, and I have my first air chisel that's all snap On.
Speaker 3: We've used the air chizzl too. Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know, I have a lot of stuff that was good to me, and I took care of it. I
was taught to take care of your tools. I was
never really a I joke about it. I was never
really the guy that threws tools around and trash as tools.
I took care of my tools. The only thing I
don't like. Maybe snap On can help me with this
at some point, But I have my very first snap On toolbox still that I got when I was younger, and then it was in my dad's possession for a while.
He hung onto it and stuff and it was always supposed to bean and then I got it when I turned adult age. I finally moved it to my when
I got my first home, and it is I think just probably because of age, it is getting rusted out in certain areas and stuff like I can see little rust marks and putting through and the pain starting to get kind of bad on it.
Speaker 3: And there's two different things.
Speaker 2: Like I thought about taking it apart and letting somebody go ahead and blast it, and then let somebody go ahead and repowder coat it and snap on red and then putting all the rail guards back on it and everything like that, and putting new badging on it. But
I still have it. I still use it. It has
a lot of tools in it. It's not like it's
gone bad, and it's not like it's bad off.
Speaker 3: But is there a warranty on that? No, and not
from that.
Speaker 2: I don't think there is, but the boys will tell you.
I'm a kind of a neat frequ when it comes to a lot of things. That's part of my personality.
So it's been bothering me for years. If I know
I could safely have it come apart and safely let it be done and we put back together and I don't have to mess with it too much. But it
would be a nice final project. I'd like to have
it redone just because it's got sentimental value to me.
But like I said, I'm a snap on guy. So
before I die, I bought the nanos If you guys haven't seen him, as Holly suggest you get them.
Speaker 3: They're pretty cool.
Speaker 2: The new nanosets are the mini size electronic snap on guns that you can get into small areas. I bought
them because Nathaniel and I, believe or not, we ran into a couple issues when we were taking white noise apart in the dash where I need a little bit more torque. I have the old blue snap on screwdriver,
you guys know what I'm talking about, the older one, and it didn't have enough snap back to break some of the stuff loose underneath the dash that we were trying to use, and it was the wrong angle, so when I tried to get it up in the dash and turn it sideways, there wasn't enough room for it to sit sideways to get it off. So everything underneath
that dash came out pretty much by hand. Not that
I care nothing that bothers me, but I was like, you know, it'd be really nice. And I was talking
to Thanie why I was upside down for like four hours taking everything apart in the car, letting all the blood drained in my head.
Speaker 3: I was like, it'd be.
Speaker 2: Nice, and they made something was a little bit smaller, we could get up in here and have a little bit more force.
Speaker 3: And then lo and behold.
Speaker 2: I saw the nanos get advertised on the snap on site, because yes, I belonged to the snap on new tool site, and it shows you everything news coming out, and I was like, I'm gonna own those. So yeah, I bought
those for myself right before Christmas. So that was a
nice little Christmas gift to myself.
Speaker 3: I got those. What else did?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Oh, the one thing I was telling me about that it might not be cool to you guys, it was cool to me that I want it, and I was gonna buy for myself, and I chose not to, and I thank god I didn't. I got one of the
power tool organizers. They go up on the wall that
holds all your electric tools. You can hang them all
year different because I own a lot. If you I'll
take a picture one time, you guys would know I'm I'm I'm tool obsessed. I own a lot of electric
ratchets and different Yeah, and they do. And that's the
reason why I have. And everybody's like, why do you
own so many? Well, believe it or not, everyone I
have is set at a different torque radio and stuff like that, or it comes in a bundle, or or it bought in a bundle.
Speaker 3: But for the most part, do you think you won't use all of them? You use them. There's gonna come
a time and a point where you're gonna go. I
have seven batteries.
Speaker 4: And to be fair, and sometimes it is cheaper to get the bundle then.
Speaker 2: And people give me a hard time because I have.
I even had like three different Craftman's that are up there.
People are like, oh, you got the craft is up believer.
I needed them for something at the point time, and that's how I ended up with them. I do have
a craft one that's really tiny.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: It just doesn't have a whole lot of power, but for little things like doing interior work like door panel stuff like that trimwork, it's worked just fine and I've used it for years. And that's how I ended up
with that. I was like, you know, I don't anything
big or bulk edge something. And it was one of
the first triggered guns I had that was left forward backwards guns, and I've had it for a while now.
That's pretty standard that's coming out and I like snap on stuff and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: I think the nano. This is exactly how the nano
is now.
Speaker 2: But one of the things like by the nano was that had a direct slide forward facing you know what I mean. So I had different setups for it, and
that's what maybe by and the battery is located inside of it. No, this is not a snap On commercial.
I just like my snap On tools. But like I said,
I got blue Point this side. That's what I'm running
right now. A guys, believe it or not, I can't
earner name the company, but I have to get it for you.
Speaker 3: I'm not running.
Speaker 2: I have snap On Impacts, but that's not the ones I use all the time. Believe it or not, I
have a set of impacts. It skips me who the
name of it is that I've been running for a couple of years. I've had absolutely no problem with them.
They got a lifetime warranty on them. I bought the
full complete set. I think I have all aways.
Speaker 3: No, they don't.
Speaker 2: I think it's all the way to like forty four.
I think it's like I mean, it's it's huge. I mean,
but I bought the complete set and I paid a fraction of what probably will you have paid on a tool truck. Like I said, I love my snap on stuff,
but I wanted to replace it.
Speaker 3: I needed.
Speaker 2: I wanted a bigger set, the broader than what I already had. And a buddy of mine had purchases had
been running for about two years, and he loved him to death, and he's.
Speaker 3: Like, man, they're great.
Speaker 2: And I bought him, and I've had him for a little while now, and I had absolutely no problem with the boys like him. And they came in a case
slot it with all the different numbers on it, so you know exactly when something's missing instantly. That's one thing
I like to because I'm just weird about that kind of stuff. So I can't wait to put up my organizer.
And like I said, it holds all the chargers up top, holds all the guns down below. You guys have seen them.
And there's a bunch of companies that make him. But
I've been wanting one. I just hadn't bought it for
myself because I was like, all year long, I wanted one, and I was gonna buy and buy it. I can't say,
you know what, I need to hold that as a present.
I need hold it as a present. Tell somebody I
want that as a present. So I'm glad that I did.
And thanks to my wife because I actually mentioned to her that I wanted it and she remembered, like from six months ago. So huh, goodie, goodie on me. I
got a bunch of signs I got bought for Christmas.
Speaker 3: Cool.
Speaker 2: You guys know I collect signs a license place in Gage, so I gotta hang all those and uh yeah, can me busy for a couple of weeks On that note, Guy's I gotta take quick commercial break. When we come back,

Speaker 1: Welcome back to Let's Talk Cars Radio. You're automotive specialist.
Now back to your host, Dave Folach.
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, welcome back.
Speaker 2: So, as I told you, we're gonna do a little winter special. I got into conversations this week and everybody
was talking about, you know, the winter and the cold and the everything nobody wants to talk about. I'm sure
because it's you know, everybody hates the cold. I'm one
of the people. I like the cold. I've told you
guys that for years. I prefer the cold. My body
is always preferred the cold. I can walk in the
snow barefoot. It don't ask me why I can, but
I can. It doesn't really bother me. I think you
like it bothers most people. I think, guys told you
a story. I broke down once in my car many
many years ago, and I walked like five miles in the snow. I walked five miles of snow in a
pair of shorts, a pair of flip flop sandals, and a T shirt because that was the dress apparel for the place we worked on at the time year round.
I don't ask me why, it just was And yeah, and I worked with the mall and my car broke down, and I lived like twelve miles away from the mall, and we used to close them all like what ten o'clock at night. By the time we got out of there,
closed everything up, the registering and stuff you're getting closed to midnight, it was late.
Speaker 3: It was nobody out on the roads.
Speaker 2: And I had a miserable walk. It was I had
a choice, I was. My car broke down, and I
had a choice to either sit there where there was nobody on that stretch of road passing me and the ones that did pass me sure enough weren't going to stop, or hoof it. And I decided to hoof it. And
I can tell you what frostbite feels like. I'm pretty
sure I experienced that because I lost color in my toes and I lit the fireplace in my apartment and I still could not feel my hose for a very long time. In fact, I still have weird tingling that's
in my toes. I think it's probably associated with that.
But yeah, that true story really happened, And ever since then, cold really has never bothered me. I didn't really have
a real problem with cold before that. Now I really don't.
Speaker 3: Have a problem with cold.
Speaker 2: So we got talking about cold in winter and everything on the internet. I told you I have long a
lot of different forums. We talk a lot of car stuff,
and some of the things popped up that I don't know.
I don't drive one, so I probably never really thought about it. But one of the things was coldness and
how it affects your your EV electric car. I didn't
know that you're posted a winterrize your electric car for winter, like there's certain.
Speaker 3: Things supposed to be done.
Speaker 2: One of the things is you're supposed to battery preparation because apparently the batteries drain off twenty to thirty percent in cold temperature.
Speaker 3: So I knew.
Speaker 4: I knew the batteries did worse in the winter, but I know you're supposed to winter rise.
Speaker 2: There's like a wind rise and look it up camera.
What is there's like a winter eyes Preppers prep preparation.
Speaker 3: Preparation.
Speaker 2: Preppers are prepparations that you're supposed to do, uh for them, They're supposed to do some different things. So I was like, okay,
I was like, I understand that now I'm used to like the side of prepping your car on a whole other side. You know, gasoline cars, all you're supposed to do,
Like I think one of the things, like everybody knows.
Speaker 4: And I think some things go hand in hand, right, like prepparizing the pay you know, maybe you know, prepping your pay for the winner or you know.
Speaker 3: So that was one of the things.
Speaker 2: I never thought about that, so really yeah, so nothing like for the soul and all that number one thing that people are doing now, and you probably will think about it because you and I have talked about it, but I didn't think about it in that fashion.
Speaker 3: I thought about it.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking show car like thought, But what do you think the number one thing everybody's doing.
Speaker 4: Well prior wrapping their car for the winter?
Speaker 3: Close? You're close. Come on now, I know you got it.
Speaker 2: You got it in you waxing, waxing, so serama.
Speaker 3: So everybody's ceramic coat.
Speaker 2: It's because ceramic coat protects against all the winter elements.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm like, well, that's why I waxed my car before the winter. So I mean it makes sense,
it does.
Speaker 2: I was like, I was like, okay, I was like, I hadn't really I thought about when I think about ceramic code and I'm thinking about protecting the paint for shine.
All that kind of stuff I never really thought about, Like I don't know why the winter elements, all the.
Speaker 4: Extra stuff, all the extra stuff, I mean, when you think about it, the same thing for like summertime, right, all the pollen that it floats around, and you know, if you wax your car and detail it or whatever, you know, it kind of sits on the paint instead of like baking into it.
Speaker 2: Maybe for me, ceramic coating is still such a kind of a newer thing that I don't think about it and all the things that it's supposed to help you with.
Speaker 3: All right, so I got some of the preparation and I didn't even think about this. So it talks about
like obviously what we knew about was pre warming the vehicle before you drive it because it pre warms the battery.
But a solution that they use or something like that for it too, So there's no solution, like I don't see them talking about like a liquid or anything. But
I didn't think about this. They are change I think.
Don't quote me on that, but they talk about preconditioning the system where apparently you can tell your vehicle to heat itself up on grid power rather than battery power.
So let's say you have it plugged in your garage.
You can tell it, hey, I'm leaving at seven am.
Start the vehicle, start to heat yourself up using the power from the power cord that's plugged in instead of using your battery. So it's using your grid power rather
than the battery itself. That's one thing. Another thing is
apparently there's heat pumps in a lot of the vehicles.
If it's equipped that you can You're supposed to start your heat pump first and then let it I guess that's where it starts to work the liquid through the battery and everything and it start to warm up that battery.
Of course, charge ahead, so you're not doing it during like the cold times. Try to do it during warm times.
Always checking the tires, driving slower, stuff like that.
Speaker 4: Kind of like that walk around your vehicle.
Speaker 3: It just really it just really talks about preconditioning, like the smart technology to reheat your car so you're not kind of kind of hopping in and going going going.
You know.
Speaker 2: So how many of you like actually like, oh, charge you do a lot of people don't, I know, he doesn't.
Speaker 3: Charge of protection as well. They talk about I know
that because of the moisture around the charge port. Well,
I'll saying I know.
Speaker 2: I know that Nathaniel warms his car up no matter what time of year it is, because We've gone to leave the same parking lot and I've literally like left.
Speaker 3: Now I do a little bit. I don't know.
Speaker 4: He barely does it. Sometimes I do.
Speaker 2: You don't realize it. I I literally pre my truck.
I use auto start, so you realized my trucks sitting and running. It's like I aught to start my truck,
and a lot of times you think I'm just hopping and driving away.
Speaker 3: By already we went to leave a restaurant and you were like, man, he was gotty here. We all went
for me so soon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you were sitting, but I already all started my truck. I started my truck when we were walking
to it, so it'd already been sitting there and I got into it. Usually what I do is I'll auto
drive a like everybody has a habit. I aught to
start my truck, and then my phone is already connected to the truck, so as soon as I sit down on the truck, the phone kicks in the music turns on, I find a song that I want to jam out to and boom, I'm gone the truck.
Speaker 4: I thought about doing it. I just don't want to
like run into that predicament where like the one time you forget, like take it out of gear, or maybe you auto started for it.
Speaker 3: They've now, I understand. Back then you couldn't put an
auto start on a manor vehicle. But they have upgraded
their systems where you can now put an auto start. Yeah,
but in the Thandiel's biggest problem with a lot.
Speaker 2: Of people, got to start in your card, don't you, man, And it's the biggest it's the biggest problem.
Speaker 3: And look, love my manual drivers out there, but all my manual drivers are going to know what I'm talking about when I say this. The biggest problem with having
an auto start on a manual is not that they can't do it. It's every person that drives a manual
loves to put their car in the first gear when they park it.
Speaker 2: Andreak, I'm not trusting the break And that's just why be able to have an auto start in the vehicle because it's always in first gear.
Speaker 3: So if you go to try to auto start if it's going to try to jump.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I was always I was taught my
whole life. I put it first, put it and don't.
But that's the only reason. It's like parking on the hill.
What do you do when you park on a hill.
That's the only reason to ask my question?
Speaker 3: What are you doing her? You park on a hill,
you put the break in? What else you do? You
also put it in?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: You put it in. Well, it matters what position you're parking,
but you put it in the reverse position. No, if
you're going, you put it. You put it and drive
so it doesn't try to lock the thing. Oh, no,
you're put a rock behind the wheel.
Speaker 2: Do you know you put a rock behind the wheel?
Speaker 4: You do not?
Speaker 3: What are you talking about? Are you driving up the hill?
Are parking on the hill.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if you're on a hill, you're downhill or uphill.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. What do you do when you park
on a hill?
Speaker 4: E break and put it in a second?
Speaker 3: No, put it into wheel drive?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: What I don't know. We don't get hills out here,
so it's on the test.
Speaker 3: I know this is put the break on. You put
the hazards in case.
Speaker 2: All right, do you guys know out there send me the messages?
Speaker 3: Do you send me put in? What do you guys?
Speaker 2: What do you do when you park on a hill?
Speaker 3: It's on the test unless they take it off the test.
The test you rab hunter and have him tried.
Speaker 2: To know he's gonna fail that one too.
Speaker 3: You don't know. I can't believe outside feature you have
to turn.
Speaker 2: Your wheels in or your wheels Oh yeah, it's towards the curb.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's still.
Speaker 3: That is I was I wanta hill every time?
Speaker 2: And why do you do that?
Speaker 3: Cameron? In case the car the brakes popped and what
it is? It goes like this against the curve, against
the and the holds it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wasn't really thinking about that, like uns no curb And then I'm thinking I.
Speaker 3: Wasn't thinking. I think I didn't think you were going
that deep into turning the that's common sense. Apparently it's not.
It's common sense.
Speaker 2: Is put it in your pulled me break up and you didn't mention you didn't mention it at all.
Speaker 3: Apparently I'm going to put a rock behind it.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not curiously if anybody rock was right though, I mean the rock would also keep I mean, so, sir, why every time you park here do you get out of your car and.
Speaker 3: Open the trunk up? Just give my rock. He's got
a rock.
Speaker 2: It's for parking on hills and marker on it.
Speaker 3: Look, I'm not stupid, but I like rocks. I got
a rock on me right now. You guys had to
see the video. You use a rock. No.
Speaker 2: Another thing that I saw that was they were talking about was for winterization of a lot of your EV vehicles and now your newer cars, is.
Speaker 3: You get to make sure the sensors are clear.
Speaker 2: If they're clear with ice and they got snow and stuff like that, then the sensors don't work correctly. Which
is kind of crazy because lot of people aren't thinking about that. Most people don't even know what ADOS is.
People have no idea what that is. That they've never
heard of it in their life. I used it a lot.
I've talked about it when it first came out, and people are like, I don't even know what that is. So
if you don't know, go look it up. While you're
looking it up, I'm gonna take quick commercial break. When
we come back. We've got some more stuff for you.

the last two years, if you listen to the show, you've heard me talk about my dream house. It has
been a great experience buying land, building my house, even selling my old house. One thing I didn't tell you
about was the real estate.
Speaker 3: Agent that I used.
Speaker 2: I used Bob Artam from the Perfect House team in the real estate group.
Speaker 3: It's been one of the.
Speaker 2: Best experiences I've ever had. Bob has been there for
us from beginning to end and treated us just like family.
I'm telling you you've heard me talk about this because it has been one of the truly best experiences that.

Wilow and Sons. Incorporated. Welcome back to Let's Talk Cars Radio,
your automotive specialist. Now back to your host, Dave Polach.
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, welcome back. That commercial break seemed like it
was a little longer than than the most. I don't know, like, yeah,
I just did.
Speaker 3: I think sponsors really wanted to say something.
Speaker 2: Thanks. We get talking like when we're off off camera.
I told you, guys, one of these days we will have a off camera show.
Speaker 3: Everything that's talked about off camera. So you guys know,
if you guys been.
Speaker 2: Listening to show for a long time, we've had this converce so many different ways. But it's funny how something
that I have been doing for a while is now becoming could become the normal standard you want to talk about is I told you guys, and it's winter related survival kits for your car. So we talked about this
almost every winter for the show. We even talked about
it for the summer too, because summer months you should keep water in your car, keeping your trunk. I know
it's not going to be cold, but at least you if something happens, you have water in your vehicle. But
during the winter time, I tell everybody I've had a survival kit that I keep in most of my vehicles.
Goes I start driving, and maybe because the stretch of roads I was driving at a very young age where long distances. Hence they're walking in the snow. Not to
say that twelve miles is a long distance, but twelve miles is a long distance. When you break down in
the middle of the night and you have to walk that that's in the cold, in the cold, that's that's twelve miles. It's a long distance. And like I say,
everybodys like, oh, twelve miles, I ain't nothing.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: If it was optimal weather or something like that, I'd be a pain in the butt, but probably.
Speaker 3: Not a big deal.
Speaker 2: But if it's extreme hot or is extreme cold, which I've lived in both, probably the reason why I started the fibal kit and I started the survival kit. When
I was making I told you I used dry that stretch of road through the desert, and that's what made me have like things I needed and uh, you know, I had water and all that, and that was before anybody was carrying that out let. Let's take you guys
pre water bottle days, just so you all know, like that wasn't like a thing.
Speaker 4: Back when they had glass bottles.
Speaker 3: No, what I did have is when they had the milk guy delivering milky glass bottle. Man, I don't want
to hear about it over wise, guys.
Speaker 2: So but no, I used to keep my water and I didn't, to be honest with you, guys, I didn't change it out all the time.
Speaker 3: I really didn't.
Speaker 2: But I used to keep water in one of the old thermists, the tin thermoss.
Speaker 3: Oh, man, that was warm, So it really wasn't. It wasn't.
Speaker 4: Honestly, is a lot better than plastic.
Speaker 3: It wasn't. I imagine you're in the desert hot it's
in your trunk. It's in your trunk. It's a thermal.
It's a thermal mug. Oh you put cold water in
there before you traveled.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the thing. It may stay. Yes, it
was cold water when I put it in there, but it may stay in there for months before I was.
Speaker 4: I mean, well, it ain't even bigger in the sun, can't.
Like you know, it was in the shadows for a little while and then then you carry.
Speaker 3: It's cold, all right. So here's the thing.
Speaker 2: It was two parts, just so you know a Number one, we're in the desert, okay, and water is necessity in the desert. Number two can't kill cactuses, it can't.
Speaker 3: You know, you're right, does it?
Speaker 4: But you can't. I mean a lot.
Speaker 2: Kill so uh, number two if you overheat it. I
always had water in the vehicle because I had two of those thermost things, and you know, just cause you got thirsty, but you could pour it in the radiator if you need water, which I did a couple of different times. Look, I didn't have the nicest vehicles. And
when I first started these legit.
Speaker 3: And drinking the water and that natural radiator juice is coming to fill that car up? Done that too?
Speaker 2: Story story, Yeah, there's no way I'm wasting a story where we didn't have any water and we he ped in the radiator to try to put on whatever you.
Speaker 3: Should go home exactly.
Speaker 2: But so I had that survival kit and like I said, I had water and I have for the winter time.
Speaker 3: I had blanket. I told you, I keep snacks.
Speaker 2: Used to keep us little things of beef, jerky, little nuts and stuff like that in a bag of sealed Uh.
I used to always have crackers in there, some of a bunch of different things, but things like so you had munchies. I know it seems weird, but you can
go in my vehicle right this second. The boys know
there's a there's a bag that's up underneath the seat that has pretty much all your little survivals. I used.
I told you I carry a complete toolkit. Back then,
my toolkit was a lot smaller.
Speaker 3: But I know that there's at least four ganola bars in there right now, Yeah, there is.
Speaker 2: You're right, Granola bar is something and I've been doing that forever. Now, why is this important? It looks like
car manufacturers are starting to think about this too, and I think I kind of hitting on this, uh a couple months ago I saw something come out about it.
But they're talking about possibly starting to do something like this, and I think it's a great idea. Triple A used
to have a what they used to call like a small survival kit that they used to sell. They had
some bare necessities and stuff like that, but it had like it had the first Aid kit and all that kind of stuff in it.
Speaker 3: Barness.
Speaker 2: I knew as soon as it came out of the mountaine that song I do it.
Speaker 3: And then I was going wrong with them, but uh, I think it's smart. Now.
Speaker 2: One of the things that's the game changer is uh something that I've had for a while, but I don't have one to the extent, so I carry and I think you have one in your car too, And I think you had one. You may not have it in
the Mustang yet, but we had the auto starters, the little carry around jump used car.
Speaker 3: You got them in your car to That's where I went, I maybe could I know they're not charged. I have.
Speaker 2: Like the very first edition that I had. I I
threw one in my truck instantly. Now they're starting to
they're more powerful and they last longer. And the new
thing that I saw I got a press kit center of me is they're actually looking at doing power generators which are smaller and I own one of those. Two
If you guys wonder why carry one of those is Dawn works in the car a lot when we travel, we take road trips. She works remote, so she actually
works when we're in the car traveling, and we have a small generator box that goes on the back seat that she can plug into. And I think that one
gives us eight hours of power of she can be on our laptop and work. And then we also have
a pre starlink. I don't know which is, but the
one this is before the Starling most popular one that gives us Internet as we travel, just like in r Vida's and then she uses that so she works in the car like it's an office for the nine hour trip or ten hour trip we're driving. Works out perfectly.
Speaker 4: It's pretty crazy when you think about and you look back, just how far those jump starter packs have actually come, you know, considering the fact that you had a carrier, big old jumper pack and then bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's the considering that the battery changing, the technology and.
Speaker 3: Battery right, considering how many times you're right, you had it many times. You loved that big battery pad just before,
and you had it plugged in all night long in my truck.
Speaker 2: They laugh, because there in my truck, back in the day when they had the big ones, I had a blue one that used to set up underneath the seat.
I used to carry one of the big ones when we went on road trips just in case I just want to have it. And one of the thing about
it was is mine had to plug in on the front like a lot of you guys do that. You
could run an inverter off of it and then have invert power if you need to run something else, which we did as well off of it.
Speaker 3: And then at.
Speaker 2: Some point in time I got the wiring inverter that wired in, and then I had that in the vehicle just in case we need a power But I like the fact that having the external away from the vehicle just in case there was ever any of that problem.
Speaker 3: But no.
Speaker 2: The fact that people are starting to think about this, and then now they're talking about putting these generators and stuff in vehicles, I can see. I don't know if
they're going to be the press kid doesn't say if they're going to be cordless ones that you can walk around with, or there gonna be ones that're gonna be wired into the vehicle that you can charge up and have it.
Speaker 3: But either way, I don't care which way they do it.
Speaker 2: I think it's a really smart idea for somebody who, like I said, has been carrying around his own survival kit and everything. Like I said, Triple A had it. It
had the band aids in it, they had a bunch of other liaf I think there's came with a bottle of water. It had a small blanket in it and
things along that line, and I carried that a survival emergency kit along with the one I put together when Triple A gave me mine. I had it forever. I
don't know what happened. I think I think it walked off.
I think somebody got it because I haven't seen it in a couple of different years. And to be honest
with you, I believe I like to get another one.
I hope they still make them. But I think when
I took my car to the car wash, I grabbed some things out when they were backing in the trunk, and I think it didn't make its way back into my vehicle for somehow. I think that's how I end
up losing that. But I had that one forever.
Speaker 3: It was great.
Speaker 2: It was a zip up one and had everything kind of you know, stuffed in it. But I got my own.
Like I said, I got a bag. You always find
it like sitting on the seat of my truck. One
of the things I think I told you guys I added it to it is it doesn't need to be snap on.
Speaker 3: But that's what I have.
Speaker 2: Also have electric impact and stuff in some sockets that are in there with my other toolkit, just so if I'm on the side of the road and I do need to change a tire, I'm not out there doing it by hand. I have the right sockets in there
to change the wheels on whatever vehicle I'm driving. And
I also have the conversion I made that goes to the jack, so I can just put it on the jack.
Speaker 4: And I do think that should be like mandatory. Like
I will say, what I liked about when I BMW is that they had something in the trunk that held all your like small little tools that could be used, you know as day, like you know, plat screwdriver, fill up, small little bit of crusser, wrench, I think, you know, uh, tire iron, small stuff that you know, like he's all the time. But it was nice to have if you
case you needed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're you're you had this small toolkit organizer thing was young.
Speaker 3: It was in your vehicles.
Speaker 2: A great idea, Yeah it is. I just think it's
really really important. I just think it's funny that now
we're slowly getting to the point where auto manufacturers are starting to consider doing it. I think one of the
things you guys could do that would be really really smart auto manufacturers. If you're listening, if you guys decided
to go full on with this, you should have a program that if people buy a car, that the snacks are free free refills at the dealership. It gets a
way for the people to come in and see new cars that you're selling and possibly sell.
Speaker 3: More cars if they regularly stop in to refill their emergency kit.
Speaker 2: I don't know, just an idea I think about as a game changer. I mean, you know, everybody's like, oh,
I didn't know that new car came out. I've never
seen stuff like that. Well, you know, if they had
a reason to come kind of look around the dealership for.
Speaker 4: That's why you're giving them. It's a good idea. And
so but I will say I prefer when manufacturers partner with other companies to make a more superior product instead of the manufacturer taking in their own hands trying to remit the wheel.
Speaker 2: If you buy a car, let's just sell you buy a new Toyota, right, and when you get new Toyota, it comes with this new emergency kit.
Speaker 3: If they decide to put it. So, say Toyota decides.
Speaker 2: To do it, and why you own the length of your car, why you're part of the Toyota program or whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we are.
Speaker 2: They just mail you a mailer that comes out once a year for you to restock it during a certain month.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think it's a great endcause like.
Speaker 2: Say Ritz Crackers or a granola bar company or whatever it is. It's a great idea because, like you know,
I think we got a million dollar idea there. I
really liked win Toyota partner with JBO for the speakers.
I think that was, you know, that was more superior product because they partner has said them trying to make up their own product.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 2: I think there's something to be done with the manufacturers and their survival kits and stuff like that. I really
think that they're on the right track with it. I
think it's really important. Like I said, I can tell
you a handful of fingers and toes of stories that I've I've used mine for something and it was just something I had. So if you guys want to hear
a little bit more about it, we'll keep on following along.
I'll kind of seeing where this goes. If you don't
have one, I highly suggest you Bill Jerrone. Put it
in your trunk, put it at the backseat of your truck, whatever you need. Fill it up and have all the
stuff because it's winner and you know it gets cold out there, and be great to have some stuff just in case something does happen. On that note, I can't
believe we're already going to commercial break again. So hold tight,
we're gonna finish this up. I got some dui information
for you, guys. It's a little strange. You're gonna want
to hear it. I'll be right back.

going to figure out. If Nathanie asked me, can you
ever get back on the list. What I'm talking about
it if you get a DUI that's considered a extreme DUI.
Which extreme I guess means how many point level you were drunk by. I guess is how they consider if
it's extreme or not, which I believe in Utah extreme is zero point one six, I think is what it is in Utah. Which what do we we point zero
eight here or something like that?
Speaker 3: I say zero point one six is double limit.
Speaker 2: You have an extreme so you got yeah in the Utah, so that's considered extreme. I don't know what's considered extreme here.
I know Utah had some of the tightest laws though that I do know.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Anyway, while he's looking it up, if you have an extreme DUI.
Speaker 3: Anything that's point one six or higher point one.
Speaker 4: Six are higher, Yeah, it's extreme, Right, it's extreme.
Speaker 2: Okay, point zero five is there is their standard though, right, point.
Speaker 3: Zero five are higher also while also having a measurable control substance substance.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well I'm not worried about substance. That's
a whole nother ball game. But if you get an
extreme du I, you no longer can buy alcohol in the state. So apparently you go on a list. You
have to show your ID at every place you go to buy alcohol, and there's a list and says rather you can buy or not. I don't know if they're
going to do like a scanner. I don't know how
they're going to do that.
Speaker 3: Now there's gonna be a photo post.
Speaker 2: I'm not totally against this, I'm just not Does it ban you forever? Did you find if it bans you forever.
Like I said, I don't know how they're going to do that. I don't think it should be a ban forever,
because here's the thing. I believe that people make choices
that aren't all that wise, but I don't think that they should be hung over their head forever. I know
people have gotten to us over the years. I don't
think they're bad people by any means. I know a
lot of good people who just didn't think about it in the right in the right fashion. Probably thought, and
I honestly say thought that they did not drink enough to ever affect anything. But once they took that breathalyzer,
it's a whole other thing. I've seen people I know
that have been able to do all the fields of sobriety tests but failed the breathalyzer side of things, which once again ended up in the d UI. So we
got into a conversation off camera before we came on to it about it, and we have similar views, but different views on it, which usually happens at this table.
Number one laws for the UI were put in place as far as I'm gonncern for a really.
Speaker 3: There's no time link. It's determined by the courts or
the tradicial center. But they will be giving driver's license
that will have a no alcohol sale. Uh, that's how
they're going to do.
Speaker 4: Yeah. See, all I see is a bunch of workarounds.
So it's like, you know, people some people have like double I ds, like you know, who's keeping the guy, you know, taking the one that doesn't have the stamp on it to go to the store.
Speaker 3: Double id's because they scan the barcode here, scan the barcode here. But I'm pretty sure for a license here
they tell you.
Speaker 4: But I'm pretty sure that only pulls up. I wonder
if that pulls up just what's on the card almost like your a card, or if it pulls up like a saved data.
Speaker 3: No, it's a save data because they even even the bars down here have a system they use. So like
let's say you use a fake ID down here that or like something that was tagged you in a system.
Speaker 2: So yeah, but yeah, but what did you got?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: And I give that, But you know, is it on the is it imprinted on the card or is it imprinted in a system?
Speaker 3: You know, I'm sure it's going to be imprinted in both.
I mean, so it's Utah.
Speaker 2: Here is here's where we we.
Speaker 3: We probably differ a little bit.
Speaker 2: Nathaniel and I differ on the on the thought and I haven't tagged it on cameras complete thinking yet, but.
Speaker 3: I truly believe.
Speaker 2: And so to see that. I don't think DOUI defines
a person. I just don't think it does. Do I
think there's punishment for the action?
Speaker 5: One?
Speaker 2: Do I think that, uh, the laws are in place for a reason, hundred percent? Do I think that people
get caught up in it, caught up in some of the laws that maybe probably shouldn't apply to them. Yeah,
I can see how that that that runs out. I've
told you guys that as much as everybody hates this, and I got a lot of trash comments last time we had the conversation about it, but you the system can be manipulated a little bit, depending on who's given the test and how often they give the test, things along that line. Rather you guys believe or not, go
do your own research. You don't have to believe me,
Just go look it up, do a little bit of your own research. If you don't believe it, you can manipulate it.
So if you get a guy who's having this to say a bad day, and he did. And you're kind
of a jerk anyway on the side of the road because you're irritating. We know how that works. I guess I
could probably do everything I need to do to wait in the one direction to try to get it to do give me the results.
Speaker 4: That his discretion.
Speaker 3: That's literally my feeling about it. Like I stayed quiet
when you guys are talking to was like my feeling is I agree with the whole program, Like you shouldn't drink and drive. You guys know I both take a
lift and an uber I will gladly buy I have I have. I will gladly buy an uber to go
pick you up first and then come pick me up to drive us to the event. I've done it multiple time.
My my biggest thing about it is and because I've probably fallen into it, like where you said, some people fall into the laws of there should be a different way to be able to test for it. I shouldn't
have to come out of my vehicle. Trust me, I'll
come out of my vehicle, but I shouldn't have to come out of my vehicle and spell alphabets backwards. I
shouldn't have to come out of my vehicle and hold my leg exactly. I shouldn't have to come out of
my my vehicle, hold my leg up for ten seconds, walk down a straight line for one second, for eight seconds, do a little spin for the little exactly and better.
My thing about it is, I can't do that, Silber.
I mean, what do you think I'm gonna be fair?
To be fair? Now, I know everybody that does the
test do it a little bit different. Those tests aren't
necessarily there for you to pass them. They're there for
the officer to get an understanding of what's going on.
Speaker 4: I understand that.
Speaker 3: My thing about it is, might I have personally fallen not once, not twice, but three different times where I've been pulled over by an officer. I haven't had anything
to drink. I've either been leaving in a place that
has drinks or have been three times, three different times, three different times.
Speaker 2: You've different times because you and you were.
Speaker 3: Desney driver, and I've been breathalyzed. The only thing that
she was breathalyzer and it was because they can't. They're
wanting to bring somebody down there. But how it's going
to be hard to bring somebody down the station that has a zero point zero reading.
Speaker 2: You know, I understand where you're at because you've had some negative experience exactly.
Speaker 3: So that's why I say I want to do it.
Speaker 2: And I'll be the first one to admit. Years ago I
got pulled over. I think I had a glass of
wine with dinner, and I think dinner was three hours probably total, from the time we sat and talked and stuff like that. And everybody's like, oh, you had to
have more than a glass of wine.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 2: A lot of times what I do is I drink glass of wine and then I usually finish my meal.
And you guys see me do it a thousand times with what a cup of coffee. You guys see me
do it. I'll be like, oh, give me a you know,
give me a cappuccino, give me a cup of coffee, whatever.
And I've been doing that for years. I don't know
what even started that. I just I think probably because
most of the time when I go to dinner parties with people, we're having conversations. We're sitting and we're talking,
and I don't want to sit there and continue to have drinks because I know I gotta drive my vehicle.
So I sit there and usual drink cup coffee. I'll
usually start with a cappuccino. I'll get a shot, you know,
and or double shot or whatever, and then I'll drink a coffee.
Speaker 3: You go with it.
Speaker 2: And that's how I and a lot of meals because it gives me something to sit there and sip on while we're having conversations without having to have alcohol. That's
just my preference. Now, like I said, I've had friends
that have gotten you eyes. I've listened to their story.
I haven't even had the displeasure of watching some of the pollover videos and stuff of people and seeing how it went down and kind of sometimes went okay. So
the breathalyser said he was under you know, he was in pair, but sure enough that I didn't like pass all the tests you gave him, the field sobriety test and so you know, so on the thing, I by no means I'm saying that I condone it by anything.
So like I said, save save time, only keep more warriors right into it.
Speaker 4: Because against the law. You know, we all know it.
Speaker 3: It's against the law.
Speaker 2: Now Nathaniel's point of view, which I understand, where he's come from, is maybe we need to and.
Speaker 4: Maybe there should be a lesser punishment for those Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2: If it's lesser punishment, Maybe we should, uh, because here's my way with the laws and adjust some of the laws a little bit that maybe fall in a little bit more modern time, a little bit, right, that's what.
Speaker 3: Because I don't just feel like at any time, out the side of a traffic stop, I should be like, can I get mediation and then have some guy come before some guy come out where I can go hop in the car and I'll show you that I can drive this vehicle perfectly fine.
Speaker 2: So much of that, But I do believe sometimes even on the simplest stops, on the simplest stops, I feel like you almost feel like you need media hid the road sometimes between you and the person that stopped you, because personality sometimes there's clash, and that plays a lot into how everything's going to go down when you're on the side of the road. Now, I've talked with my
police officer friends, you guys know, we have a lot of them, and I bounced some of those ideas, and even they've told me that they believe some of the procedures for being pulled over for DUI are a little outdated.
They probably need to be changed up a little bit.
Some of it don't make any sense. Like said, so,
if you've pulled me over for a DUI and asked me to feel sobriety test, I fail. I'm gonna fail
every single time. I'll pass a breathalyzer. But as far
as the field sobriety tests I need to do, I'm going to fail because even though they ask you, yes, I have some disability, and everybody tries you this as an excuse. Everybody's like, oh, yeah, I got this wrong.
I've watched all the videos over the years. I got
this wrong with you. No, I generally have things wrong
with me that would keep me from taking that test.
I can't stand on one leg, as you guys know, I shout the joints out on ankles.
Speaker 3: We're not doing that.
Speaker 2: But everybody says they got kne problems, angle problems, and those guys I've watched them, they don't want to hear it.
They do not want to hear on the side of the road. It's just you use an excuse. So now
you start off sound like the guy that's using the excuse.
So I get it and I understand. Guys, I really do.
Do I think that utahs onto something here. Yes, I
think they're onto something.
Speaker 3: I really do.
Speaker 4: I think it's a good step for it. I think
a lot of stuff is cut throat and some things need to be. You know, you don't want to ruin
people's lives.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 2: I want to see where this goes. We'll see how
it ends up. It ought to be interesting. Tell me
you guys, comments, what you guys think. Like I said,
I think we need, you know, keep laws in place.
Is this an overreach? Is there other things we can change?
Speaker 3: You guys?
Speaker 2: Tell me I got my opinions and you guys know what they are and that no, guys, we got to go ahead and.
Speaker 3: Get out of here.
Speaker 2: I hope you enjoyed the show. Enjoy your Saturday. Sunday
