let's Talk Cars Radio Dave Polage Saturday America.

Speaker 1: You're listening, Let's Talk Cars Radio on WKQA Freedom Radio.

I'm your host, Big DAVP Hangout, Camera, Chaos and AVB. Hey,

it is a great day to kind of hang out and listen to a radio show because if you're in our area, it's been raining and raining and more raining.

So it gives you an opportunity to sit down, relax, listen to us talk. Enjoy the wash the rain, watch

wash the rain, and somewhere rain. It was we had

car shows planned for us in this area to attend and everything's been washed out. So that kind of sucks,

but you know, hey, it is what it is. I mean,

there's not a whole lot you can do about it, Mother Nature. We really need the rain around here because

it has been so dry. I didn't even want to

I think I talked about it last week. I didn't

want to even run the tractor. I was too afraid

to burn up up the grass because it's been just absolutely so blistering hot. I think we're like one hundred

and fifteen was the heat index a couple of days this there's definitely humid. Yeah, it's in the humidity's crazy

out here. So yeah, anyway, hopefully you guys are staying cool.

You guys are at Hey, I'm gonna jump into some stuff really really quick. So I love you guys. I

appreciate you guys sending me a bunch of stuff. But

I think because I always talk so good about Tesla, and there's some times where I've said negative things about Tesla, and I mean, maybe not negative, but I've seen the other side of the coin for Tesla, right, But I got blasted with all the Tesla truck things. I've seen

more Tesla truck failure failure videos than I probably care to see ever again, because everybody just decided to send me every single one that they see because they know they're like, oh, yeah, we talk about Tesla. Here's Tesla truck.

It failed again.

Speaker 2: It failed again. Here's another fail.

Speaker 1: Like, can we just talk about the fact that it's a new concept. It is a new concept. I don't

I never took Tesla truck as being never day driver a truck. It's first of all, the word cyber truck

in it, I mean, to me, says everything. It's a

promotional thing, right, like it's for looks. But all the

ones that people are sending me, like it's out on the beach and it's stuck, or you know, if somebody took a four wheel drive in and it's stuck somewhere and stuff.

Speaker 2: I'm like like, because did you really?

Speaker 1: I would have never expected that to be I wouldn't take I wouldn't take a testa I got four wheel driving out in the mud in the forest.

Speaker 4: I guess they do put tractors on the beach, so I mean, I guess my mind would probably be like, let's try it now.

Speaker 2: Now, I mean you want to you want to take a.

Speaker 4: Tesla truck on the beach, you can try it, right, but it's probably not gonna work this as well.

Speaker 5: I mean, the motor is probably handled pretty well, but I don't think I think that's probably married.

Speaker 2: Probably the U I.

Speaker 1: Saw one somebody sent me one from. I think it's

like I want to say, it's got to be like an India or something like that on sand dunes somewhere, or in a Saudi Arabia or something, jumping this stand they're jumping in and then the next picture of it it's rolled like and it's all destroyed. But I saw it.

I can see it had some type of like graphic down the side of it, so obviously that was somebody's promotional vehicle as a cyber truck, and then it got destroyed.

But I think our listeners that they make me laugh because but you all controlling me, like for like a week now with cyber truck videos of just.

Speaker 2: NonStop like failures. Nothing's been positive.

Speaker 1: It's all been failures, which is kind of funny because you know, Tesla's in the news this week. There's a

bunch of different things out about them, So you know, I have been patiently waiting since we first even start driving in the first uber and all that for the whole robo taxi to hit right, Like, I just I think when I think it's gonna be huge, I think it's gonna be a really big platform. A lot of

people are like, oh no, it's not gonna be what you think it's gonna be. I really do think it's

gonna be what I think I think it's gonna be.

They're gonna be everywhere futuristic movie we're all like, and it had Johnny the taxi guy that took a turn around all the way around and talk to you backwards in the seat was that. Uh it wasn't a racer.

I think that had Orange Schwarzenegger in the movie, but but it was a robo kit taxi. But he had

I know the scene, No, it had a They had like this taxi cat.

Speaker 5: You remember he's a catch phrase to Johnny Johnny on the spoty Yeah.

Speaker 1: Like that, like he turned around and talked to you.

So I just to kind of envision that. I know

that's not what's gonna be like, but for some reason, that's what But they if you remember, their taxis were like everywhere in that movie, running everybody around their automated stuff, and so I really think that that would be Uh it's I swear that's what it is. Johnny Cab Yeah,

Johnny Cab So I knew he had Arne Sword.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I knew it had arn Schortzenegger in.

Speaker 4: It, but uh kind of remind me the guy from it reminds me of wallwew there.

Speaker 1: It's it's like I said, it's I think it's gonna be that set up. So, you know, n Danne and

I got kind of talking about So if you remember, Tesla had the whole platform where I think it was this year, they're supposed to come out with the cheaper car this year. Yeah, it's called the Model two like

and stuff and I And then now that's been supposedly put on pause for a second or maybe not.

Speaker 2: There's official and unofficial forces.

Speaker 5: It's probably more pushed back than anything else. Some are

stating that it's been canceled, but it's probably just been pushed back. So the Robotaxi has more of a front line, which.

Speaker 1: I think they're using that platform as.

Speaker 5: Well as as we were talking about earlier. I think

they're using the platform that was probably for the Model too for the Robotaxi, so they can push them along and then use in probably an old generation like the platform wise just to build a newer body, because well, you know, good thing with electric cars and stuff is just the platform, you know, the body, wheels, frame, and then they just thought, you know, chassis on it. Okay,

So if you a century century, it's just power wheels.

Speaker 2: I mean a big, big power wheel.

Speaker 1: I mean think about it.

Speaker 2: What do we do with our power wheels?

Speaker 4: We just take the battery out that you guys give us and we put a very bigger battery in it.

Speaker 1: Believe that just more charge battery and then people are swapping the motors out. But so if you guys, we

can go back, like way back in some of the episodes of the show, and we had talked about that it would be smart because okay, you heard me, I say it all the time. It comes up in a

lot of episodes, just as recently, I believe that almost everybody's that's bought electric cars owns electric car, right or and then so then you got to go from electric to self driving. Right. So then because there're two different

things automated cars, but they all come together because I don't think there's an automated car out there that's gasoline.

Everything's electric, right, So those those two worlds combined. But

the problem with it is is I think everybody who wanted one kind of has one other than just kind of maybe updating some models every once in a while.

But there's not that big rush out there. So how

do you make that happen? And one of the things

we had one of the episodes we talked about was you need to make one that's maybe a little bit more utilitarian, that's cheaper, that people are going to afford, that's every every day man was.

Speaker 5: Like, you know, early on. They weren't pulling all those

you know stops out per se Brot the electric car, and so they kind of were on the cheap side.

You know, the up sale was it was electric, not that you know the features that came with back right, So that was like twenty fifteen even now, right, and so we're kind of pushing towards the features. But I

mean even then, right.

Speaker 1: No, I I got it, Like, so what the insight and all those if you kind of get in those, they're just kind of cheaply made their electric car, but they're just cheaply kind of and I'm not trying to down anybody, but they didn't go like they're not super luxurious in the inside. And so I was like, if

you really wanted to get people excited, especially I would say your guys, I've always said your guys generation. If

you want to get them excited about owning buy an electric car, it needs to be in a price platform that they, as growing young adults can afford to be in that price point.

Speaker 2: And I think we you and.

Speaker 1: I would talk about what I asked you, what would you be willing to pay for? I think you told

me like twenty five thousand.

Speaker 5: Twenty five grant's pretty cheap. Thirty grand, I mean.

Speaker 1: Because at twenty because at twenty five thousand you can afford to throw the car whatever for five years.

Speaker 5: I think it needs that fire though, right, So like it needs a little like you know, the Civics back then, or you know, like integral look good. Yeah, a decent

priced car that looks really good for you know the price.

Speaker 1: Right, So if you did it, like let's say here, you know what would work for me?

Speaker 5: Honest, we don't even know more minivans?

Speaker 1: No, no, you know what would work is the old CRX kind.

Speaker 5: Of fantasy X but but antand I'm going I'll just take the city again, right like to okay, so something something like a hatchback new.

Speaker 1: Newer looking, but something in that kind of like you feel like you feel still feel kind of hip driving it, right, it still has like a cutting kind of.

Speaker 2: Edentright to it?

Speaker 1: Right? No, no, no, that makes sense and at a price

point that people can.

Speaker 5: I will say, the newer Hondas, right, do play really well to their old heritage. I'm like, so, I mean

it looks very similar to what's you know, what the Civic was looking like, and so even in today's standards.

Speaker 1: I saw I saw a little blog this week, and it's funny you say that because it was talking about the Honda and it was like it was based on V six. They were talking about V six model cars, right,

and they're like, oh, six model cars are stupid. I

don't know why anybody ever puts any money to it.

And then you know, people are like, well, because people like what they like. And then somebody chimed in and

made a very good They're like, I think how many times people joke people who own Hondas, right, like people, oh, you got to Honda. Everybody's got a Honda. But then

there's those die hard I love by Honda Civic type car.

Do you understand right saying that it doesn't car to them? Right,

It doesn't matter what you say, how much you hate my car, whatever it may be. When you're in love

with something, you're in love with something like you don't care what other people think. You're not driving it because

a lot of people just think, well you are to a certain degree of that crowd, but you drive because you like that model car. Like, you know, there's some

there's some AMC's that I don't get that people drive, but they're die hard AMC.

Speaker 5: Guys, Right, I love E forty six. You don't really

like us stuff, but I just love the profile of the car.

Speaker 1: Right, No, No, I mean I understand, but and you I have to go back and forth on it.

Speaker 2: My problem.

Speaker 1: I think what it was was the was a lot of people who had them, so it kind of so I kind of but then you could say there's tons of people used to have hot like everybody had a hont A Civic, the ones. I still think Hona Civic.

Still it's still a good looking car for what it was during its time. I thought it was a really

good car.

Speaker 5: Well, they were all bill with different standards in mind.

That's why I think some people for you know, forget too right. So I you know, you know japan cars

where you know were made to be beat up. You know,

they weren't made to change to oil every you know, you know, it's it's funny.

Speaker 1: So like in certain countries some of the cars, like there's certain cars like that. First of all, I've learned

in certain countries people just don't care.

Speaker 5: Cars just'silt for different standards, right like people just and you learn like garbage like well, right, I hate to say, but take a look here. Look at some of the cars,

like they're like in Russia and stuff like that. They

are like just rolling hunks of junk. But people are

still driving forever because it's just a means of transportation.

There's nothing else to that car. Like I just bought

this thing to take me from point A to point B.

Speaker 1: I really don't care what it looks like. And but

that's considered like just normal like in other countries, like when I was in Spain, I saw a lot of beat up cars in Spain and people are driving. But

I also told you why I was in Spain, that taxi cabs were mere sit exvans. I was. I was

just floored by it. I was like, and we're like,

but I saw a lot of rolling pieces of junk out there too, that that's not piece of jump to them, that's just a car because they don't look at it like we look at cars. Like it's just different, you know,

And people go, oh, I was in Spain and this and everybody had nice cars. I'm like, look, I'm not

talking about little pockets areas. I'm talking like modern day,

every day just there's just there was tons of junks parked on every single corner when.

Speaker 5: I you know, like you said, you know, when you were me.

Speaker 4: Oh, because I was just thinking, you know, Russia, send your hate mail, your hate mail, you know, send your hate mail only and nothing else.

Speaker 2: You know. I'm not look, I'm not I'm not downplaying Russia.

I'm just saying, like, there's they.

Speaker 5: Don't They don't look at cars the same, right, they just don't.

Speaker 2: Look at the cars like we do.

Speaker 4: They do the point A, point B, point C, point d O.

Speaker 5: The places they're not normal to them, right, Like you were talking about, I forget what country you visited, but you said that you know many countries, well I think it was Germany, yet you were in that you were talking about how, you know, every had really nice cars, but to them, they were throwaway cars, right because they were produced, you know, in their country.

Speaker 1: We were talking about when I was there and I was in the military, and all the military guys were lower in the military, and I were driving nicer things than I had back here in the States. I mean,

they just had these outrageously beautiful cars. I mean they

had drive Mercedes and Porschas and all kinds of stuff.

I'm like, and I couldn't figure out how they were.

Speaker 5: Afforded, but how we maintained cars too, I mean they were built to be maintained.

Speaker 1: Got and in Germany during that time, and I don't think things have changed, but I'm sure it's still got a structure that way. Somehow they get to a certain

year and then they just get it. It's just there's

no value to the car to them as far as they they go get there out there.

Speaker 2: No really no.

Speaker 1: I would say probably at that point in time, a lot of the cars that the guys were driving were a little bit older than five years but some of them, some of them were only five years old. But they

now had say one hundred thousand miles on them, right, and one hundred thousand miles like in Germany was just like that car's jumped as far as anybody.

Speaker 2: You gotta think about.

Speaker 1: So most of the military guys are just driving around on base with the car and then you go off base here and there.

Speaker 2: They're not ailes during each trip, right.

Speaker 1: And they're not on the autobnd trying to go one hundred and fifty five miles an hour, you know, with the car, which in Germany a lot of people are now, just so you understand how.

Speaker 4: We've been through five different military hands. Absolutely every time

somebody leave, everybody leaves. Somebody just transfers it.

Speaker 1: But one of the things that was was uh interesting to me when I when I was there was the fact that the niceness of the cars and then the value of the cars was perceived differently. And like I said,

they're not going like they're not. The everybody thinks the

autuba is has a speed you like, just analyst speed them.

It doesn't. If you've ever been in Germany, you'll find

out it's sectioned out right. Everybody's like, oh, you just

get to go as fast as you want.

Speaker 2: It doesn't really.

Speaker 1: That's always usually, know, when somebody's not been in Germany and they're like, I've been to Germany, I'm like in the autobun I'm like, and I listened to them talk and they start telling me about it. I'm like, this

person's never been to Germany. They tell them themselves. I'm because, yes,

there is. When it's certain sections of row have no

speed limit. So that's the way it works. I told you,

I was on a bus going insane speeds on the Autobahn and a bus that was just just super scary.

Nobody should ever go those speeds.

Speaker 4: What is scariest some of those foreign countries that drive the buses and they get close to the little barriers going around.

Speaker 3: Ye.

Speaker 4: Not to try to take us off topic, but no, I just watched when somebody just sent me one of those yeah, and they're like, literally, somebody just sent me, send me one of those.

Speaker 3: Welcome back to Let's Talk Cars Radio, your automotive specialist.

Now back to your host Dave Polach.

Speaker 1: Hey, guys, welcome back. So if you did know this

week we're doing something just a little different. People by

fan request have asked for some of our top topics.

That's right, I said it top topics. So what we're

gonna do is we're gonna go ahead and jump right back into them and some of the things that you guys have liked the most by some of the shows in the past.

Speaker 2: So here we go.

Speaker 1: Hey, guys, welcome back to the show. So before we

went to commercial break, we were talking about the technology everything and being down this last one a little over a week now. When it comes to dealership as far

as parts and service and all the different stuff that's is effect, it has been kind of crazy. So here's

the thing that kind of like really gets me when it comes to technology and everything being computer based and all.

So I have forever complained, and maybe it's just me that worries about it. I don't like computer based. I'm

old school, Like I don't mind still calling the part place and you know, hey, I'm looking for such and such part whatever. Everybody does everything through computer. Maybe it's

just because I'm old school whatever, But here's the reason why.

So I forever have had conversations right up to this life past week where people have asked me what I thought about X, Y, and Z when it comes to buying online, right, car stuff. I don't know if you

guys have the same problem and other stuff other than car related stuff, but there is a big problem. And

here's there's nothing that governs anything when it comes to buying stuff. Really, I mean you. What I mean by

that is, let's just say you find a transmission online and you decide you want it, right, and you're like, oh, I can buy this transmission for two thousand dollars. All right,

good deal, right because here, let's just say here locally whatever, it's forty five hundred dollars. She's like, no, I'm saving

twenty five hundred dollars. Now, you know, you know nothing

about what you're purchasing, and it shows up on your doorstuff, and this happens. This, this, I can tell you how

many times this stuff happens to people. Let's just say

you need a transmission for a twenty fifteen Chevy Silverado, Okay, okay, and you know you thought you were ordered well, realistically it's probably about fifty two hundred bucks parts and later if you had somebody to do it. Let's just say

you decide you're going to buy the transmission online and you want to bring it and have somebody install it locally, or maybe you want to put it in yourself. And

you find the transmission for two thousand dollars, what are you gidding? Okay? So, and what I mean by they're like, well,

I'm getting my transmission from my truck. You meaning very well,

what if you get it here and it's not the right transmission?

Speaker 5: Return on the other, of course, is sometimes is okay.

Speaker 1: What's the cost of that though?

Speaker 2: Right?

Speaker 1: So you get it here.

Speaker 2: And ship it back.

Speaker 1: You're gonna eat some costs on that. I guarantee it.

You're gonna eat some costs on shippar Well, let's see, maybe it right or whatever it may be. When you

find a company that doesn't have doesn't have the return on it right? But now what does it really cost you?

Does cost you the time and everything else? Now that's

the simple, simple parts of ordering things online and how technology just scares me when it comes to doing a lot of stuff in that manner right.

Speaker 2: Where it looks good on the outside.

Speaker 1: I can go buy a transmission from the Junkyard, okay, for fifteen hundred dollars maybe two hundred, three hundred thousand miles on it, and I bring it home. This happens.

I'm gonna tell you this happens. I tape everything up.

I spray painted with some nice scrange silver spray paint so it looks nice and newy. I wrap it up

and I ship it to you. You paid me two

thousand dollars for right, I paid two I mean, let's just say about fifteen hundred dollars. I made five hundred dollars.

But I'm selling it to you online as a brandish, brand new whatever it may be. You have no idea

if it is or isn't here, and you're like, why no, no, you won't know. And here's the problem with that. You're

not going to tear it apart, your brand new transmission, right, You're not gonna take it all apart to go verify it.

You're just people do now if you opened it up and looked inside of it and you knew what you were doing, but you obviously don't, because that's the reason why you're buying one. You know, you know you made very

well see that everything and it's just as old as it was the day it was in the junkyard's got two hundred and one thousand miles. I'm sure it probably

worked in the vehicle when it was towed to the junk yard, but you didn't get what you paid.

Speaker 2: For, and you don't know it you there's no way to know.

Speaker 1: And let's just say you put in the truck and it works for two months, and or it works for a week, or it doesn't work at all, which is usually what happens, and then you call the person that you bought it from, like, hey, I bought this from you to like he has no responsibility. Rather he's got

a website or not, he has no responsibility to do anything for you, And nobody's gonna make him.

Speaker 2: Do you think we're nobod's.

Speaker 4: Gonna make you think with technology, we're ever gonna come to the point where we're going to like start putting codes on parts where those used parts can only be used for the car that it was put on. There

is for that, right, because like I can totally see that being a thing where we put a code into certain parts and we won't be able to use them anymore from like, like certain parts we won't be able to reuse them. I feel like manufacturers are gonna make

us have to buy brand new parts all right because of the code inside.

Speaker 1: These part versation I just had. So I had somebody

that I talk with and they bought a computer for their vehicle online through a company that looks now keep them up online. I can make myself look like whatever

I want, right, So yeah, I just I can build a really we've got into that. You can build a

really cool website. I can look like whatever I want

to look like. I can look like I got a warehouse.

It's as big as the world building everything. I can

make the inside the warehouse show shelves full of parts available free. But you don't know what you're really dealing with.

I have done that in the past, done some research in the past on places that I needed to buy some from. And when I actually get right down to

it and I break do a little research and break down the address, it's like a house with a one car garage is what the is what the address comes in, but that's not what it shows on the website. And

that's somebody who is interesting business. But he's perpetrayed himself

as something he's not right. He's shuffling product right and

the minute you have a problem, here's what they can do.

It's it's crazy that this happens.

Speaker 5: But let me my supplier too.

Speaker 2: Did you know that?

Speaker 4: I looked it up. People are allowed to open up

what's called ghost shops, ghost shops, ghost companies. And what

it is is it's a secondary name for the primary company.

But they use a ghost name because most people, for example, Association it's going to be it's going to be off cars just a little bit.

Speaker 2: But Costco.

Speaker 4: Costco has a whole different name for their pizza department on uber eats. Did you know that they call themselves

And this is a known thing with auto parts suppli ghost things. Yeah, it's called ghost stores.

Speaker 1: Well I won't say it's a ghost store, but anybody was in the car business. Everybody knows the Advance Auto

Parts right, but it was also a PI and which sold a lot of stuff. It had no if they

didn't want to have the affiliation with each other, but they were the same.

Speaker 4: I mean what three years now, three or four Fred would know would know car car Quest? I mean car

Quest was swapped over to Advance out Apartment.

Speaker 2: This happened, but they're all advanced.

Speaker 1: You get back to the story. So this guy bought

a computer that he needed for his vehicle, and now I know that the computers are obsolete. You cannot write

the second get your hands on one. You just can't.

You can't. So when he was like, oh, well, you know,

I found one that was online, and instead, I'm like, it's not gonna work. Guarantee, it's not gonna work. And

then they get mad at you. They called for your advice,

they want your advice, and I'm giving advice.

Speaker 5: It's a cheaper option.

Speaker 2: It wasn't though.

Speaker 5: It really it's just you.

Speaker 1: You can't get one, right, Like, you cannot find I know you can't get your hands on one. I'm like,

I'll jump online because like it's like I talk to people in forums are like that. People ask a lot

of questions because the radio show, and if I got a little bit of time, I'll do some research and stuff.

I jump online. I know that you can't get one.

It's obsolete. The dealerships are backlog and don't know where

they're at when they're ever going to get one. And

then all magically somebody online has one, and I'm like, it's not gonna work.

Speaker 2: And he's like, well, how do you know it's not gonna work.

Speaker 1: I'm like, because it's a broken one that probably came out of this guy's car, that's gonna sell you it's not gonna work, and you're not.

Speaker 2: Gonna know the difference. Right.

Speaker 1: Now, here's the thing, here's what really irritates me when it comes to things like that.

Speaker 2: Number one.

Speaker 1: If it's a computer that has to be programmed and it's it's used, it's not going to take any programming to it because it's programmed to your ven and you can't reset the ven in a lot of them.

Speaker 2: Yep, so it's junked you. But the person selling you

that is not going to sell the guy.

Speaker 1: Tell the guy at the end of the computer any of that information, right, He's like, I just I got one he's put up for sale and it doesn't work.

So against your project, right, against my better advice. It

was purchased, okay, and it wasn't purchased for little money.

I mean the new computer I think was fourteen fifteen hundred dollars is what it was new, Okay, Yet I think he paid nine for this one, nine hundred bucks, gets it in, puts it in, and guess what it doesn't do it, don't work. It has the same problem

that the one he has in his vehicle has, because they all are breaking with the exact same problem. Now,

you contact the person that you bought it from online, and right you're ghost like they're they're doing nothing for you.

And even if they have a legitimate okay, even if they have a legitimate web page, because everybody goes, well, I bought it for a place that has a legitimate web page, and I'm like, that doesn't mean anything.

Speaker 2: And let me tell you why.

Speaker 1: Because I can close down that web page today. I

could open up a new web page tomorrow with a new name, and I can redirect that web page anytime anybody goes that web web page goes my new name, and that's me, and I can block the other person who I don't want, don't.

Speaker 3: I mean?

Speaker 2: And because there's nobody governing it.

Speaker 1: There's no governance over anything that's online and the technology that goes along with it is. But that's where the

technology comes becomes scary, right, because we're making cars run on everything technology, but there's nobody truly governing anything.

Speaker 2: There's no governance. There's so many open waves, so many

called it camer and I have had.

Speaker 1: The conversation sometimes it's like, because I guys, I'm not a big computer person.

Speaker 2: Now my two kids they are. They know more than

I do.

Speaker 1: And that's great because your kids should surpass you in knowledge on a lot of things. Right, there's knowledge seven

gives that they don't have, but they have knowledge where they schooled me all the time, and I think that's terrific because I just don't know.

Speaker 2: And but Cameron and I have had conversation for years now.

Speaker 1: He's like, Dad, if you just knew how open things were on the back end of a lot of things, it would blow your mind and scare you.

Speaker 2: And I'm legitimately getting scared on some of the stuff because it's cameras.

Speaker 4: I mean, let's just think about our traffic cameras for one second. We just came out with a report where

And it's funny because after we talked about it on the show, I've been watching our traffic cameras like like a hawk.

Speaker 1: Makes you weird?

Speaker 2: But does it does? But so they talked about how

they were going to bring a I into traffic cameras.

Absolutely they talk They want to do it so bad.

Speaker 4: It's not where it was going to track our speed.

So let's say and next time you're next time you see a yellow light, and kay, I.

Speaker 1: Want to use technology to track your speed, but I don't want to recognize in the court system. So bad.

Speaker 5: Right, it's gonna it's gonna help, you know, maintain traffic routes.

At the same time, you know it could be used to you know, you know, look at you and.

Speaker 1: You can't say you don't recognize it in court of law and then want to use it to give me tickets.

I'm just saying, I'm just saying no. And it's not

too soon.

Speaker 2: I got to soon.

Speaker 1: It's not too soon.

your automotive specialist. Now back to your host, Dave Polach.

Speaker 1: Hey, guys, are you still hanging in there? Yep, that's right,

We're still here with this week's top topics. What are

top talkers? You ask see you gotta say it three

times fast, top topic, top topic, top topic. There you go.

They are shows that fans have requested the most. So

I'm once again gonna let you guys listen. That way,

you don't have to listen to me talk anymore. I'll

be right back. Hey, guys, welcome back. So I told

you guys that before want to commercial break, I had some weird as there was an article that was out and it was talking about speeding violations. And so it's

kind of funny because you know, we I get this stuff sent to us all the time and then we talk about it here and there.

Speaker 2: But some of these were like crazy speed. First of all,

one of them comes out of our.

Speaker 1: Close to our area. It's Norfolk, which is, you know what,

a couple of cities over from us. But he was

one thirty one and a fifty five, one hundred and thirty one fifty five in Norfolk. Yeah, I mean it's

pretty impressive.

Speaker 2: Ninety miles above the speed limit eighty miles. It's doable.

It doesn't.

Speaker 4: Maybe ten maybe if you're trying to rush somewhere, but eighty miles an hour.

Speaker 1: So I've told you guys, and I don't there's I don't talk about. There's certain things we talk about on

the show that have to do with me. There's certain

things we don't. I got a lot of speed tickets

at a young age, and I got that one beat by a lot. And that's not bragging because it's not

it's not something to brag about because you should never speed.

Speaker 2: Right, I mean I shouldn't have been. I was being

stupid in a car. I mean, I just just it

is what it is.

Speaker 1: I mean, but I all my tickets at a young age were all over. I'll just be honest and say,

we're all over one hundred miles an hour.

Speaker 5: All the what the first three I got was a lot more open rose back then too, right, you weren't like really like super crowded. I got one like one

thirty six twenty five was a residential or that is more twenty five because it was.

Speaker 2: Like a backlone.

Speaker 1: But it was the school. It was at night, school

was closed, so before you judged me, there was nobody out.

It was in the middle of the night. But funny

everybody got me regardless, I mean like he got me.

It would be funny you were like, I think I was out, and I think I don't know if I told the story once before, but I thought he would stop, he would keep going after the car the other car ran, and then he didn't. He stopped me in the other

car because you were closer, right, I mean, usually they chase, they chase they chase as all those things, right, do you back up and you you you know, you either take it, you like, hopefully he goes for another guy, or are you the first one that gets caught. So

I keep in mind I was very young, so I'm not like I said, I not Condona. It's not another

one that I got. Was I know, I can't, I know,

I was well, well, I want to say it was like one twenty five or something like that, and and I was gonna go to jail for that one as well.

By the way, I didn't go to jail on any of these, and I kept my driver's license to which would never happen nowadays, I think, right, I mean, you just get lucky.

Speaker 2: Okay.

Speaker 1: So with that being said, hold on before I get into some of these other speeds. Right, uh, there's one

that is okay. So this one floort floored me. And

this is where the conversation came in that we just had.

There was a one eighty two and a fifty five. Okay,

in Illinois, it's pretty fast. Eighty two miles an hour

is just lightning fast on the street.

Speaker 2: Right.

Speaker 5: But here's the I didn't tell you if it was here here's a.

Speaker 2: Thing that floored me.

Speaker 1: Right, do you what do you think his punishment was just just just just take a guess what do you think service?

Speaker 5: I'm always thinking like the heart, but he probably got something like slap on the wrists.

Speaker 2: This would never happened for me or you guys are.

Speaker 5: Mean driver school, Like no, it's like a three hundred.

Speaker 1: And seventy five dollars fine and he had and he was ordered to have like higher car insurance.

Speaker 2: That's it.

Speaker 1: That's where I got into the what's higher car insurance?

That's how the conversation came about ya that that is?

Speaker 6: That is it?

Speaker 2: Do you know it in Virginia?

Speaker 9: Virginia would we can't say it on the state, they would pick the jail up. They could really move it

to wherever you are and just puts you in it forever.

Like okay, So first of all, if you all don't know if.

Speaker 5: Like I said, the people is high.

Speaker 2: People listen from all over the place, all over the country, over the world.

Speaker 1: They listen to this show. We get listeners that tag

in and give me stuff from some of the forest places.

It's just it's I told you, guys, humblings could be that so many people and so many places. Listen to

the show in Virginia, speeding okay instantly is reckless driving?

At what is it? Ten over?

Speaker 2: Fifteen fifteen over? And it's reckless reckless driving? Look it up?

Speaker 1: Make sure so reckless driving and reckless driving here carries like the same punishments if he was a d UI, I mean like it's literally more was twenty over.

Speaker 5: Because I'd be I'd be messed up.

Speaker 1: He's He's like, hold on, don't know, I'd be messed up, But like I said, i'd be like in other states, it's not like you one hundred and eighty two miles an hour.

Speaker 2: Guys in a fifty five all day long.

Speaker 1: You take a three hundred chicken margin.

Speaker 4: Thank you, sir, our judge. Judges have a famous quote.

They're like, we're going to make an example out of you.

Speaker 2: You've already made an example out of the last ten people.

Speaker 9: He's like, out there, He's like, listen, do you make examples out of the last ten guys.

Speaker 2: Were before me? Why do I got to be the

example too? But I know I'm not kidding one.

Speaker 4: I know I'm not the only one that when we go to court stands in front of those TVs to see how far we are down the list.

Speaker 2: For about one or.

Speaker 5: Two here's here.

Speaker 1: Here's the mad part about that, right, The worst part about it is when you have a last name that falls right in about the middle of the alphabet, you're just done. Yeah, he's there's so many a's, there's so

many bees when you get down to us.

Speaker 2: I mean, like he's just hurt it all. He don't

want to hear it anymore. He's just trying to get through.

I'm like, can not be first on the dock please?

Speaker 1: Time?

Speaker 2: And then you you're like, it's the guy right before you, right before. He always wants to.

Speaker 4: Make him mad, always wants to make a mad, and like the judge starts fighting and like you know, when he lets out of breath, you're like, no, right, and you know you realize you're like the next or like.

Speaker 1: The next, like the third next person to go up, Like yeah, I had to take them. I had to

take them both to court when they were younger. So

we went to court and they they they were in trouble.

Speaker 2: And the guy that came in, like.

Speaker 1: Was it two guys before you that they had the they had a mask on him.

Speaker 2: Like a net on for spinning, and he was cuffed to like this chair and they had them all like he was. He was all tied down to a chair

and I'm like, I turned a literally to them. I went, yeah,

we're not getting out of this one. There's there's no way.

Speaker 4: It's my court case that I went by myself. When

I was I was don't so I went all by myself.

I'm like, man, all right, I gotta go take care of this. I knew I was going to get I

can't say that word, but that stuff, you know, when I know they skipped over my name, and.

Speaker 2: Then another judge walked and was like.

Speaker 10: Another judge walked in and said pause, called my name, only my name, And then I was escorted with an officer to another where it was just me and four officers.

Speaker 2: You know, you're like, this book coming hard.

Speaker 1: He's got out of that one. He walks in and

he's like, h you said they buy me dinner.

Speaker 4: First, No, when I took the stairs, and I was like, never taking the stairs ever since I've been.

Speaker 1: Yeah, no, we've taken those a couple of times. I remember.

I knowed that as soon as you said that.

Speaker 2: I remember remember the little bit staircase.

Speaker 1: You gotta go up? Yeah, yeah, it's look guys. Like

I said, I I was never the always the perfect person a young age in a car, So I'm not judging by any means. I'm just saying some of these

numbers that are here are really really impressive. I don't

mean like impressive that way.

Speaker 4: I mean just like, so, let me ask you, let me ask about you guys, real quick. Number one state.

What do you guys think is the number one state for tickets for tickets for speeding takes to Georgia?

Speaker 2: Georgia?

Speaker 1: See where do you think it is?

Speaker 5: Arizona?

Speaker 9: Me?

Speaker 4: No, it is actually going to be North Dakota. Really, Yep,

there's nothing in North Dakota, Dakota. Seven percentage of the

drivers that drive in North Dakota, it's eight point seven percent.

Speaker 1: I don't mean to call Georgia out. I've just seen

a lot of these like high speed crazy story are starting to really come out of Atlanta, Georgia area. So

I'm not trying to put.

Speaker 2: You guys on blast.

Speaker 11: I'm just saying, looking, good, guys, where do you Virginia's falls out number six six, at least top ten, top ten I mean, of course, I just said one out of ten, say seventh, we're eight eight eight six point six percent of our drivers have had a speed.

Speaker 5: I'm not gonna live it, but you can see that just driving on the roads that Virginians are very aggressive drivers.

Speaker 1: Virginians. Yeah, Virginians, Virginia universe.

Speaker 4: Actually, I love seeing the reports, the news reports where it's like Virginia was top rinked. I'm like, obnessly, y'all

haven't drove here.

Speaker 2: Top rinked.

Speaker 11: Man.

Speaker 2: He's like, no, that's wrong, completely wrong. I know you're wrong.

Speaker 1: All right, hop speed out of the article and stuff.

What do you think it was? And where where do

you think it was? And he guesses.

Speaker 2: At two one hundred and five miles an hour?

Speaker 1: Is sixty five two hundred and five miles an hour?

Speaker 2: Whyom huh?

Speaker 1: Whyoming no in Minnesota.

Speaker 5: I just want to know he's gonna be over how they get caught that they're all costs.

Speaker 1: They all got to these tickets.

Speaker 2: Were about it. It's a ticket. No, we're talking about

the people videotape thinking about it. We know there has

to be faster tickets or faster.

Speaker 4: Anything.

Speaker 2: But you hear the myssa. The story do you cannonball run?

So how do you faster?

Speaker 1: You think the one that the myths story that that we have talked about comes from supposedly out of a cannonball run race.

Speaker 2: So I don't know I would do it. But Vermont,

I don't got Vermont, you guys.

Speaker 1: A little bit. Ain't gonna lie you guys. Is one

twelve and sixty five. Here, here's the deal. Anything over

one hundred those eight in a seventy in North Carolina, all right, one fifty five and a sixty five in Georgia, one thirty nine and a sixty five in California. I

would thought California would have been way up there, like the speeds would have been super crazy, you know. I mean,

but what maybe maybe nobody just just reported again I would just say I would, I would. I'm not picking

on California. I'm just saying there's there's that run between

California and Nevada to Vegas, and I mean I have seen cars blistering down that one. Indiana was pretty, I

mean it was pretty. One and a seventy even Maine,

so Maine way up there, we'll know where it mean.

And a seventy. I mean that's that's you're getting it

at those speeds.

Speaker 2: Guys.

Speaker 1: You guys know car people, if you if you're not a if you're not a hot rod person or muscle car person, you listen to this show honest, just for all the other reasons. If you ain't never gone that

fast in a car that is yeah, wake on roads.

two three three three one three one. Liberty Transmission. Welcome

back to Let's Talk Cars Radio. You're Automotive specialist. Now

back to your host, Dave Polach.

Speaker 1: Hey, guys, all right, welcome back.

Speaker 2: So your list.

Speaker 1: The first two segments we're talking about drive through services and STUF. So I know, Nathaniel I have argued about

this before because I see technology changing very quickly, right, and I would say that was extremely impressed. You guys

heard me talk about it. Where the automatic tire changer

at SEMA show, where it took the tire off the car.

They could take the tire off the rim, put a new tire on it, reair it up, balance it and install it back on. Okay, So that was just great technology.

Now as far as taking AI and pairing AI with things, so I want to say two years ago they had a technology I sat a short seminar explaining how some of this worked, and what it was is you put on like a set of goggles, right, and when you head the goggles, it shows you how to disassemble things.

So if you don't know how to take a certain part of a car apart, you just bring up that year that make that model and it shows you how to dissemble that. With that being it also had a

help section where if you tacked help, a certified technician that is expert would come online and now he's connected and he can see what you're seeing and he can tell you if you get lost anywhere on things to do.

Speaker 5: And I've seen that and they did different different fields plumbing, electrician, Yeah.

Speaker 1: I've seen them. So now if you take that technology

and you pair that with the right type of robotic arms that can come in and stuff like that, now you can talk about taking starters off cars, doing intake jobs, all that kind of stuff that can aught to be done automatic.

Speaker 2: We already have that technology working.

Speaker 4: If you guys did not know Waymo vehicles, we already have technicians taking over Waymo vehicles if they get stuck in traffic. Take that technology, put it towards these autonomous

spots that if they need help r you know, they just call for support.

Speaker 1: I think that that's gonna be the big change. And

like I said, and that's gonna be a drive through service.

So imagine that you have a drive through service where you go in and go, okay, I need a tune up, and you could just sit in your car and there's like, oh, I'm aways gonna want to sit there for tune up.

We're not talking about there is no idle chit chat, there's no you know what I mean. It's just straight

to work. It does it you're talking about. It's motionless, right,

everything's just fluid, you know. I mean, it's very quick

and you're just kind of go through the process. So

there's a lot of things that can be done pretty quickly.

You know, some jobs it would be like a five hour job. It's a five hour job because there's the

thinking process and all that kind of stuff. Those robots

don't have to do that. It's just as they also

can have more than.

Speaker 4: It's also like so Nate was like, well, you know it is. You're right, it's going to take about five

years to do it. But I think what we're going

to start off is we're going to be teaching the AI.

So we're going to actually have technicians do it the first time with you and then see can it repeat that action? But even headed into the database. But even then, right,

we're still at the task era.

Speaker 1: Okay, So I went up.

Speaker 2: And tell me how many.

Speaker 1: How many garages are already using the automatic tire changing machine?

How many they sell?

Speaker 5: And how that's a that's a task that's you don't there doesn't. It doesn't take much for something to do

a task, right when you have to do a decision, you know, decision making, that's when it starts become a little councate like a It will be hard, no super hard, right, but it take a lot more programming to.

Speaker 1: Determine what's wrong.

Speaker 5: Well, yeah, the part so like you know, it could put the engine together, right, but when it doesn't start, now that thing has to tear it all about together because it didn't realize that part wasn't.

Speaker 1: You know, in a perfect condition, you're going to get passed at some point. At some point I do worry

about like that. It's just gonna be.

Speaker 5: I think it takes about five years before perfection really kicks.

Speaker 1: In, possibly, but the stuff's already out there My point is is it's already been debuilt, they've already been starting to use some of the stuff. When you start pairing

it all together, that's when it's going to be like imagine just going into an oil change thing and it just it changed the oil, changed your tires, and you're right back out. I with machinery, I'm saying ten minutes, easy,

ten minutes even that you know what I mean.

Speaker 5: Just you said it has multiple arms and multiple a task base, right.

Speaker 1: Because you designed it to that task. All it has

to do is look at that figure out exactly what car this do. And once it knows the model, it

knows exactly what the specs are are as far as everything right.

Speaker 5: Right, So you know if you give you like ten different plugs and no cipher from and it's going to take a seton to realize what plug goes to?

Speaker 3: What do you?

Speaker 4: Worships have the automatic tire changers, and some auto shops are now getting them installed.

Speaker 1: You're talking about the ones that takes tire.

Speaker 5: Tak How is that technology? You've seen that technology since

when wow, we saw what two years ago was the first time we really saw it in Okay, So it's not too long. It was two years ago, so, like

I said, because another thing, right is that it takes so long sometimes for technology to be implemented that by the time so one does.

Speaker 1: Get it does it's already extinct. I told you. Also,

they have the self tendant windows now, right, So that's something's finally designed that I've been talking about it for twenty years that you've done. I don't have the knowledge

of making it work. I had a kind of ideas

how I thought it would work. I don't think that's

the way they're doing it, because now there's new technology and they're they're doing pigment, so they're.

Speaker 2: They're doing it.

Speaker 5: They do an electric spark which activates the color of the pigment, which kind of like when we talked about it, it's kind of like how I thought it would happen.

Speaker 1: I thought you might do it with like an injectable or something like that that injects.

Speaker 5: In the Yeah, remember we talked about like how did you get it out when you you did like a suction and stuff. But the static charge may makes more.

Speaker 1: Sense, it doesn't. That's what they do, like I said,

But it's it's mean, it's kind of cool. So you know,

there's been certain ideas I've had over the years. I'm like, oh,

this's a really cool idea. I know how to build it.

Now they're funding for to build some of the stuff. Like, uh,

I've said forever, any car that's lower should have sensors on all the way around so you're not hitting your front skirts and stuff like that on things and ground effects and making sure that stuff doesn't get tore up.

Speaker 4: They still yet to do that with technology advantlogy to do with technology advancing. I won't fully say the product

because I am going to try to design it, but I'm surprised there's nothing in the car like as a not to give anything up, but as a report system.

Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, No, you get those weird ideas where you just go, man, they should really invent this.

Speaker 2: I had one the other day. I was just like,

you know, totally off car topic.

Speaker 1: To say, you know, because we've already been loosely to this week anyway.

Speaker 2: Uh.

Speaker 1: You know, funerals, you gotta have a coffin, right, Why don't we have like the seven eleven version, Like, okay, so all of us have like really nice everybody has really nice coffins that they sell right. All of us

have really nice coolers that we own, but yet we find ourselves at seven eleven buying a little phone one every once in a while.

Speaker 2: Why can't you just do a phone coffin?

Speaker 4: You know they do, right, just just time out, you know, they do a phone call? Yes, so yes, if you

guys didn't people some people just time out. Some people

that cannotboards, cardboard box and some of the coffins, and they make it look nice and then after the funeral they slide.

Speaker 2: You're taking out of this, Okay, I'm not just if you stop at seven eleven you get one of the phone coolers. Why can't you have the phone coffee?

Speaker 5: Kind of reminds me of the video The movie is boxick.

Speaker 2: Okay, that's why.

Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just something that bounces around inside

my head. Everyone on, so all right, backed car stuff.

So the automated services and you guys are and you guys see, have you guys see they already went away?

Do you guys see the grocery stores where you get this drive through drive through store?

Speaker 2: Did you know?

Speaker 1: I know there's like a brew through. I know you

guys talk about those, but.

Speaker 2: You know that's not new. That's not a new thing.

Speaker 4: There is actual states where you drive through and it's like a gas station grocery store and they you place your order and they go and grab it off the shovels.

Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what I saw.

Speaker 1: It was like it was like it was stuff on both sides and then you just you already had you just kind of point people go and grab it off and it goes now to really pack it up for you at the end, you know. And I was just like, oh,

that's that's great drive through service.

Speaker 5: It's pretty smart and you know, it keeps you know, here's all your products there in your car.

Speaker 1: You don't have to get people like to stay in their cars.

Speaker 2: You know, there is it thirty minutes.

Speaker 6: You know.

Speaker 5: Walmart has their own you know, walk through services.

Speaker 1: Another poll.

Speaker 2: You're pulling it all.

Speaker 5: We're gonna pull all their self services out, well now all of them rephrase and stuff. They're going to take

most of them out and they're gonna put them in as a membership that you for you to use it, you have to pay for a membership because they lost millions from theft. That's what I lost about earlier about

like like when we implement AI and like car a lot of it being reversed because it's a good idea.

Speaker 2: If you guys don't need me all don't know Nathaniel is he's a reversal guy. Like he talks to me

all the time.

Speaker 1: He's like all the stuff that we're like inventing, and we're going to go backwards and take it all away because it just isn't working. And I and I agree

on some of the things, I disagree on other things.

I think we're just too like he's reverse at all.

Speaker 2: It doesn't work.

Speaker 1: I mean, look at our government.

Speaker 5: It won't take the masses right to you know, get away with it.

Speaker 2: Where I don't think we're lazy. I think that we're

going to implement Okay, we're lazy.

Speaker 4: If we ever try to go take it out, I think we've already did a little bit of damage. Where

AI is always going to be a part of systems.

Speaker 1: No, as far as I'm certain, banking is never gonna be the same. When they still got the point where

I couldn't drive through and like pull up and talk to somebody, and the thing I know that seems like rudimentary, it's really old kind of but like I like that like, I like the fact that I had that option. I

don't want to go to an ATM machine do my banking.

I really don't want to go inside and do my banking.

I just want to be able to pull up drop a little thing.

Speaker 5: They don't have to make it cooler or something, right, like think about how long you sag in a bank?

Speaker 1: You sit in the bank right, just to like positank lately and gone inside, like you're always like fifteen people deep.

Speaker 5: The team now is it's just it's so the time wave like fast isn't fast no more.

Speaker 1: No, nothing's fast. There's no such things fasting.

Speaker 2: It's not. But once again, I'm just services.

Speaker 1: They're trying to find a way to do everything drive through And I laughed about it because before we before they started the show, I was like, okay, so if you have drive through doctors, right, then, when how long is it to you have to like to drive through dentist I mean, like drive it's just it's just a little machine that reaches into the window and just starts doing your drilling. I mean you just sit still, you

let your own seat back in your car.

Speaker 2: I mean, you don't have to go anywhere we've talked.

Speaker 1: Car full of like laughing gas into the car itself.

Speaker 2: You know what I mean.

Speaker 4: So we've talked about it this whole show. We've talked

about how bad it's like a drive if you are talking over this one, I am. We've all talked about

how bad drive through is. So why do we keep

pushing more drive through stuff?

Speaker 2: Because we are lazy?

Speaker 1: We are lazy.

Speaker 5: We go through technology for everything we are. But I

don't think that's the main. Like Pops pointed out during commercial,

it's corporate. It is so corporate, corporate push people. Yep,

exactly what it is. It's all corporate. Hey, guys, let

me take quick commercial break. When we come back, we're

gonna wrap this one up. We got one more segment

to go, so whole tight.

Speaker 1: I'll be right back
