Dave Polage. Happy Saturday, America. You're listening Let's Talk Cars Radio on

WKQA Freedom Radio. I'm your host, Big DAVP hanging out with Camera Chaos

and NVB. Hey guys, it is a great Saturday out there. The

sun is show on in at least for now. You know, it's been

weird weather. It's that time of year, you know, it rains and

at sunshine. We went from thirty two degrees here to sixty five back to

like thirty three and stay for long. Right now, it's like seventy four,

yeah, like seventy four today. I mean, it's absolutely crazy.

How you know, this time of year, especially where we're at, the weather flip flops quite a bit. I used to always say, like you

get to February. I have had so many Februaries where I've either been in

shorts here or I've been in like yeah, snowstorms. So's you should never

know what's gonna end up happening. But one thing that has not really made

people think about, so you know, everybody's getting sick, Like if you're if you're in the office, you know there's always somebody that in the office during this time of year that's sick. He's got a running no, it's

got a cold. And they come to work sick anyway, because well nowadays

getting away from work or tell them you're sick is just doesn't seem to work.

They say, come in anyway. They don't tell you to stay at

home. You could rest when you die. You don't rest when you die,

or work at home, and you've got no choice. So it's funny

because one thing that people have never really thought about is the fact that why you're sick right, rather you have a cold or whatever it may be, and you are going back and forth to work, where are you at what do you what are you doing? Think about this for a second. You

get into what to go to work, your car, that's right, a bike, and you get in your car when you go home to go, you know, from work the whole while you've been sick. Now, something

people don't think about your car is an increban here for like disease and just sickness. Because you're sick, you get in your car and don't try tell

me it doesn't happen you. Your nose starts to run and you reach up

and you're trying to grab a clean ix. You're trying to wipe your nose

and keep it from running and stuff like that, and you keep touching things in your car. Pretty gross, right, Yeah, it's really gross.

For the auto technician, by the way, too, has to get in your car when it's been happening to you and the county give the car and then you seal your car up right so you know, and it sits in the sun all day long with your germs and they become gross inside the car.

Nobody ever thinks about disinfecting their car. They just don't. It is

becoming a big conversation topic that there's now services and stuff like that when you actually go in and heavy car detailed that they can actually disinfect your car, like they can make sure that here's a good idea. Stuff they should just

make like an infrared light that you could plug into a dome light. It's

not when you turn on, just disaffects like if they do in the hospitals.

It's funny you say this is something that is a new car. You're

gonna have to have me do some research because I just saw it one of those car shows where they show all, yeah, one of those Competer electronics.

But they showed a car and when you closed, it was basically meant for you know how we were talking to use the ultra violight. That's what

it is, but they were showing it on you. Remember how we were

talking about people were going to start sharing cars. It's going to be a

norm. You're going to start paying a feed just to show the car.

There's a big push for cars and not what you think of cars. Share

right now. Yeah, it's like a different car. Share own the car

and the car goes picks up passengers. It's basically your yourself over. You

either have one person that owns the car or the new thing that they're trying to do is you pay like one hundred dollars a month and you have access to so many cars. You know, Okay, I saw a come but

I saw hold it. I saw a program it's got like three years ago,

where like four people equally own a car. So, which is kind

of weird when you think about it. Let's say, how do you share

you Well, what it is is the car is let's say you live in a city, right, and you don't use because a lot of people in the city don't use a car a lot, okay, right, but they need it every once in a while. So four people own that car and

it just sits parked in a central location and with technology nowadays, it'll drive.

They pair like they pair people up that live close to each other.

And then everybody equally pays for that car. That car sits and everybody has

access and it's opened by the phone. You know, you take your phone

and the cars opening and that's how you get your car, and all four you equally own the car. And there's like a schedule times yeah, yea

to serve your time. STA. That's exactly how they do it. You

put it in to a schedule, and I think they were talking about two weeks or something. You have to put in your schedule and then locks the

car for you. And then if you have an emergency situation, you can

request an emergency vehicle. It won't be your car that you're used to driving.

It will be one of their other fleet vehicles that will come to you, or it will tell you where one of their fleet vehicles is available and not scheduled for a certain time. But everybody's paying into this, like everybody

pays into it, like you do have there's ones where you have a car that you actually it's your car and you share it with will get that.

Then we have one word that's just a bunch of cars, do I think or like nobody will really own like an individual car. Everybody's just kind of

sharing it like a company's car. Because I could see that happens about this.

They the reason why I mentioned this back to the ultra light conversation.

They showed this car at the thing and when you close the door, your car lit up purple and it was like ultraviole paining the inside and then it would turn itself off. And I started thinking, you know, with technology,

the way now we're going to see a lot of cool things come out within the next couple of years. And I think about the people are going

to not get you get inside your car right, and you've been sick.

And the reason why this comes up is I felt on the under the weather all week and I still do just a little bit. You kind of hear

my voice a little bit, and you're trying to figure out where it came from. You just start thinking about it. You're getting out of you know,

in out of people's cars and stuff like that, and people have been coughing, and like I mean, everybody sat in a car with somebody who's had a cold and cough and stuff. Well, they, like I said,

they keep touching everything. So when they get out of that car,

nothing's been wiped down, nothing's been clean. They've left behind that sickness and

everything they've touched. I'll give you a perfect This is a whole situation.

So if you guys don't like things make you want maybe you want to throw up, you might want to plug yours for a second. I had a

technician at one time. He got into a customer's car to go to a

test drive, and he grabbed a hole of the steering wheel to go drive, and he got a boogie on the end of his finger. It wasn't

his boogie neither. I mean, just see me being me, I would

have been like, what did you eat? Oh my god? That is

so gross. Oh my god. I've told oh God, throw up.

I have told you about instances where I have been at stop lights and I've seen people picking their nose and and you just wonder, Okay, what do you do? Where did it write? Well, think about it. You're

getting into people's cars that do that, you know what I mean, you're as technicians or you know, you get into people's cars that have done that.

Now, if it's your car, it's still gross. I don't care

if it's your bugger or not. It's still gross. Like so, I've

gotten to people's cars that just I want to rip the whole cheer out and just burn the car. It's that bad. So just imagine just a little

easier to burn it down. It's easier to burn the car down than do

anything. Really, Sorry, customer, your car burned down in my line.

You know I told you I got into a customer's car. This happened

more than once I got a customers car where I could hear the bugs rattling through all the rappers that were in the car. The rappers were piled up

to like seat high. And as you're sitting in the car and you get

ready drive the car into an autoarage, you literally can hear the bugs as they're walking across the rappers because the rappers are making crinkly noise and stuff.

You're like, oh no, no, no, no, Well you know what you do. You go get the guy in the low loas on the

toll pull, like, hey man, can you get that car pulled in?

You work on this bad but I mean so this should be easy these these services. Then they don't hear any bugs. They're like, I don't

know what you're talking about. Idolady had a whole colony of ants living in

her car. She brought it into some years ago and I saw some ants

we got digging. There's just a huge ant mound in the back trash.

Year. She had been feeding them for years. All the trasher was in

her cars. She's been feeding them forever. So, like I said,

it just goes to tell you guys, cars can get like just icky as can be. I mean just grows and then you're driving them. So having

a service that I can go in and like not just detail, but go ahead and disinfect the car. And I don't know, it's gotta be something

like like a lysol based chemical or something you would think where it's you know, they're wiping it down and has you know, because lightsol kills what ninety nine point nine percent of everything I think is what it says in the can or something like that. So I mean you should go down and write,

but think about it. If you gotta you know, nose all the time

you're driving, you know, come on, now, let's be honest.

You know you is your drive and you're trying to grab for Kleenex whatever it is to wipe your noses. It's trying to run and you're touching. Like

I said, you're touching everything in your car. I guess you're gonna order

some lightsol cans. I guarantee lysol goes up right now. After this episode,

people are gonna be scrambling. But it doesn't. I mean, if

you can't have somebody do it, take lysol, put it a spray on a rag and wipe everything down in your car, because like I said, about it. Think how tight the air seal is on your car when you

sealed up and you close the door. Now that's just sitting there in there,

cooking in the sun all day long. You know, one of those

never mind, I'm saving that idea. He's like, I'm not sharing that,

all right, I'll say it. One of those automated like air wick

things you know that people have in their houses. Why haven't they created an

automated one for the car that automatically sprays like a scent or a distance.

You need that if you already have ones that hang in the same thing.

Yeah, but the ones that hang only do so much everybody uses. How

much do you want your air freshmen to do? Exactly? What do you

expect from your air fresher? I mean just how much I wanted to refill?

Have to please you. To be an effective air it needs to hit

me in the face. You don't end up though, you gonna be driving

down the road that things is gonna go off and like just as you yawn or something. To look at the detailed Geek channel, the detail geek channel,

and you'll see some really gross cars. You watched those rug videos when

they like they got to really detail a rug, right and it's only a completely just like you should probably throw it away, but someone obviously wanted to say yeah, absolutely, and they do a really good job cleaning it.

Well, here's the thing, So I think I told you guys, I one of the grody things that still sticks in my head. And I think

I've told this story a couple of different times. One thing for sure is

I was in a car. I've seen a lot of nasty cars, trust

me, I've I got in a car one time to go bring it into the repair shop, you know, from the parking lot, just hopping the car from the key, went to a grab gear shifter and put my finger through a rotten banana that'd been in there for like a year. The lady

had like left laid right next to the gear shifter, and I didn't even notice it soft and it was no it was it was dead. That that

it was well, it was a dead banana, and I didn't notice.

I just grabbed ahole the gearshift and as I grabbed gearshifter, I just felt something just gooey and sticky, and I looked down. It was a rotten

banana. It's just sitting there at the gearship. Now, why would you

keep why would you keep her rotten banana in your car? So gross?

I had technicians come running out of cars because bugs have crawled on them when they get in people's cars, because literally the car is just stuffed. I've

got to the point where I stopped. I like, I had one lady,

before you take it. I've had to tell customers that believe or not,

I've had to tell customers, I'm gonna need you to go clean the inside of your car before we can do anything. My guys just won't not

They're not going to get in like that, you know, I mean, and and they're insulted. You're trying not to insult them, But dude,

you got bugs crawling around your car. Nobody wants to sit down in roaches

like pysically see the roaches crawling around. Like look in the back of your

seats. Like when people like just throw trash in the back of their seats,

do you ever just turn around? Technicians look they give in the car,

they look in the back seat. They want to know and I'll give

you, for instance, here's something completely off the path. And this is

the reason why we have had people like you know, over the years when I when I was involved on would bring car and for service and bring like their Doberman pincher, their German shepherd and never tell you, seriously, never tell you that they brought their dog. Hey, I got some The technician

goes walk right, technician goes go hop in the car. The dog's laying

down in the back seat. He sits down, he turns the key and

all a sudden, there's that over your shoulder and there is this huge dog and it's like and you're like slowly, like you don't know what to do, like you're trying to slowly get out of the car, like what And they're huge. I've had technicians bit by dogs, I mean because people just

oh, I forgot to tell you my German shepherd was in there. How

did you forget to tell somebody that you're being huge? I want to take

a bite out of your ass. And German shepherd is in the backseat.

You brought this murderous dog with you that's gonna protect your belongings, and you've forgotten to say, by the way, and then somehow I kid you not somehow you're the ass for getting in the car. Well, you didn't look

you heard my dog? Yeah, exactly didn't. You didn't hurt my dog.

You're like your dog, your dog. I kid you not. And

you guys lot, this literally happens a lot. That's how much it happens.

The sleeping in the back and you were nowhere to be found. We

just don't worry about it. We got we got hamburger meet in the fridge

in the shop. We just pack it with a couple of sleeping pills.

We take care of the dog before we get in. Your dog is just

fine. I mean, but no, I mean, that's just it's weird

people in their cars and the things they do. You can you will never

be able to make it up. Like the guy that puts yeah, Angel

said the best thing, and I understand what he means so much as a former technician. It's the worst worst smell when the car smells like a whole

ash ash tray. Yes, I definitely understand where you're coming from. On,

we were talking about just the cleanliness of your car and the fact that you can you know, in fact, people are sick and they get in their car, it needs to be disaffected. And we kind of spiral off

left off with was from Angel, and Angel said, as a former technician, it's the worst when a car smells like an ashtray. He can't be

anymore right. He really bugs me to going on with the ashtray. Thing

is when people use their cup holders, as why do people do that?

Don't understand that? And I'm like, you can't use your coup holders then,

Or when they have the A C that's on a full blast. They

have the A C on full blast and going everywhere all the ashes, like every single panel of every single piece of that car, and you're like, well, I don't think the inside came with charcoal gray and ash. Hey

we're gray, another charcoal gray, another charcoal gray. So what you got

for us? I bought a car, so I told you guys, I

used buy a lot of carshrom auction. That's how I taught the boys how

to actually work on cars, was I'd buy cars from auction and then they would help me flip them and do all the work to them. And that's

how they learned. We sold a lot of vans and we bought the vands

sold a lot and they did. I did. I bought a lot of

bands, so you know, you could powerwash van from the inside. We

got a van one time I had I bought a night Uh, no other thing I think that was like a two thousand and seven or two thousand and eight, uh toy to see in a van. It was really nice,

but the inside looked like somebody had like lived in it who worked in a grease pit their whole life. That's how bad the ture was. And boys

like, what are we gonna do about it? I'm like, I'll tell

you what we're gonna do. We're gonna pull all the carpet out, and

we're gonna pressure wash the carpet as and used like a steamer and steam the carpet, and then we'll put it back in. And while we're in there,

we're gonna presure wash everything off, just make sure we don't get anything on any wire. That's that one. We sold at like nine o'clock at

night, nine o'clock at night. Guy called me to have it. Gotta

have it. At nine o'clock at night, he had to have it.

Called me on the phone, He's like, I got I gotta have it.

I gotta have it tonight. And I that was the one where I

told him, I said, well, if I'm gonna bring it to you, you're buying it, don't make me bring it out to you. And

you're not buy it. And they they brought out on jugs. You know,

there's five hour water jugs. I remember that they brought out. Yeah,

trying to go somewhere. They're leaving and their car broke down. They're

getting ready to leave. The man breaks out five gallon jugs and starts pouring

out quarters and dollar bills and starts there. It was there too, though,

he was trying to get to So we show up. I think we

got to his house probably about ten thirty at night with his van, and everybody's like, why would you like go to someone's house in the middle of the night, aren't you scared? And I was like, no, no,

that doesn't really. We didn't go to his house, No, we

did. That was the one we went to his house. We actually took

it to his house. We went took it to his house. And because

I remember I had tow truck tow it, why I drove out there and then we unloaded the guy's house and that's why I told him. I was

like, I gotta put on a tow truck all kinds of stuff I got.

Nobody drive it out to you. So there's gonna I'm her a toe

feed, you know, bring it out to you. And I mad him

pay the toe fee and he gave me a bunch of money in hand, and then they grabbed the jugs and they're literally pouring out the five gallon jugs and they were putting a hangar in there trying to hook the bills to pull the bills out because the change would come and everything get stuck. And he

ended up paying us. But that then, when I first got it ran

it only needed a couple of things, but the inside was just disgusting as can be. And it took us what like two weeks of really detailing it.

They get everything, they get cleaned up, and then when I power washed every I took all the seats out. I power washed all the seats

with a power washer and all the hook came out of them. And then

we went through and the shop backed them, and then I went through with my steamer and steamed them. But Angel, we definitely got everything out.

Yeah what you mean when you say it smells like an ash tray, because we have gotten some cars where it's like they just took ash trays and absolutely I got I remember, well, the worst one I got as far as nastiness that I bought for ash and smoke. I had bought a Pontiac Graham

Prix, I think that thing was. And first of all, the car

was white, and I didn't know it was white. I thought the car

was gray when I bought it. That's how bad. Like it just had

been sitting somewhere and had this haze over the and I literally I looked at it. It was going down the auction line. I turned back and looked

at the car, and I was like, yeah, I'll buy. I

had bought bunch of them. If you guys know, those cars all had

the same problem with them. They had problems with the head and water pumps

and stuff like that. So they were easy fixes. And I probably bought

twenty of those cars within like a two year period, all because I just knew what the problem was with them. I get this one inside of it

and topped bottom. It looks like it went through a fire and you just

had so much cigarette ash, but I assume was soot all in the seats, console, dash, everything. It took me a week to get that

car cleaned up. But when I got cleaned up, the car only had

like seventy seven thousand miles on it and their nice cars, isn't it like it's like, you know, a used car or it's about to go down brand new car and just start ashing in them like it's nothing. Here's my

heart. Yeah, I've seen it and the stick. I've never understood the

funny thing a couple because being you know, in the autotive world, in out of cars, checking things after your technicians, I get them. And

people literally are using the cup like you said, the cup holder as an astry. They're just ashing And I'm like, how it doesn't even pop out.

You have to literally like shop back that out and then wipe it out because there's no pop out insert for it, and they're just ashing in their cup holder. I mean well, And I used to be a smoker,

guys. I was a smoker for years and I was a heavy smoker and

then I just decided one day to quit. I was two and a half

packs a day and I didn't ever ash in my car ever. It just

didn't do you know a guy the window Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just oh, I don't know, craziness. But like I said,

round it out, disaffect your car. If you guys, want to

stay healthy, and you want to carry germs and colds in and out of your car and keep on getting the same. You know, people, I

keep on getting the same, returning, recurring cold. I'm like, have

you wipe down the inside of your car lately? I mean it might be

because you you've touched everything inside your car. It's weird. I'm gonna move

off. I got a weird one for you guys. This one's strange.

You know, car theft's on the rise, right, I mean like like car theft is crazy on the rise and right, yeah, and out of just neighborhoods you never expected. Here's a twist on it. But for what

reason? What do you think? There's? The reason is for car you

can do nothing much with them nowadays. It's now you're scrapping. In my

opinion, I think a lot of young young individuals have nothing better to do.

That's what I think. I think that they are our young teenagers and

stuff or just outside being teenaged or bored, and they have nothing to get to go ahead. You know, people are stealing them because you could scrap

them, I mean salvage you still can't. That's still huge. I just

think I feel like it's as big as it was before though, right or maybe maybe so maybe maybe because we're not in it. I think a lot

of young people, you know, And I was just having this conversation yesterday, when like you hit a certain age, you grow up and you just realize some of that you're growing up. Yeah, and like a lot of

the stuff that you did back then was um kiddish, you know. I

feel like a lot of these people that are stealing the cars are just doing it for the thrill of it. Yeah, they're not taking parts, they're

not. We're even seeing reports where cars are being stolen and the valuable items

are still left behind. Usually so usually when a car stolen and you get

it back right and it's missing certain parts, that was somebody who was probably building their own car, got the same car, got the exact same car, bought it and needed to charge stuff and right, and they just they stole it just to get those parts off it. Like when he's missing the

bumper and it's got one one or two seats missing out of it, or whatever it may be. Your car got targeted, Like your car got targeted

for those particular parts. They needed those parts or something they were putting together.

I watched his video earlier this week, right, and they were in Oklahoma and stuff, and the guys walked out of the house and the car was missing, the doors, the wheels, the interior. Dudes like watching

the you that too long. Dude's crying. He's like, maybe can't leave

nothing in Oklahoma video in it it was like, hey man, you know something weird over here. And he's like, what's missing? And they're looking

in the interior the front seats missing. He's like, they do my front

seat? Well, here's one that that uh was strange this week that maybe

really start thinking about it. And I was just like, this is crazy.

If you guys saw the story about the woman who stole the horse and buggy, the Amish horse and buggy from the front of Walmart. Yeah,

so she stole the amage go into Walmart to go do the shopping. They

leave their horse and buggy outside and this lady jumps in it and steals it.

Now you would think it's a horse and buggy, right, right, Well, they find it later on a bandit, but they tracked down the woman who stole. They put all the pieces together, they find the one

who stole that far not very fast horse is just so confused, like, this isn't my owner, this isn't my house, So where's the hey, yeah, right exactly. But here's the thing. She is facing more charges

than if she would have stole a car. Really, yeah, because and

danger man of the horny made it two miles from the store. Now there's

there's really only two miles. They found her in a motel or something like

that like that out in the motel they found found the buggy a little bit more than two miles away from the store. She was staring at a nearby

motel, was arrested steering. She was steering at her, ye staying at

her. She steered it all right, She steered it right to the motel.

That's why I'd never understand, right, Like why you don't park it right where you're staying. Yeah, I don't want people do that. People

steal cars and parking right outside the house that they live in, you know what I mean, Like, why would you do that? At least if

you're gonna like steal it, park it like around the corner and just walk to it. I mean, you want a little hard But so people don't

realize there's horse there's horse law. There's horse law and there's buggy law.

Like so the buggy is more laws on them. Oh yeah, there's like

stealing the buggy is like stealing a car, right right, Okay, so that's the horse. There's all different horse law that has like completely separate than

regular law. Like back in the wild West, if you stole a man's

horse, that was like a big deal. And a lot of those laws

have not really changed. They have a little bit. We've just kind of

gone away, right right, because yeah, because we just you know, horse and buggies went away, right, like they just went away. But

we didn't really change at all, right, we didn't change. The Angel

said, tell me you want a Mustang without tell that's good. I like

that. That's funny. But so like I said, horse law is I

mean my eyes water. Uh, horse law is completely different like in some

states. I mean it's still very like in Texas. I think now it's

uh because Texas, you know their loss it's two years in prison at a ten thousand dollars fine. So that's just the horse side of things. Then

you got the buggy, which is a different crime. Even though you took

them together, they're two different crimes. I mean, it makes sense though,

because horses back then, you know, I mean, they still do cost a lot of money. They do. But here's the thing. So,

so it's the value of the buggy which just which will decide. But

now, stealing a car is a misdemeanor joy ride and stealing a car and taking for a joy ride, guys, if you didn't know it is a misdemeanor unless you planned on relieving the occupant of the car on a permanent basis.

And that's what it can can be considered. Like if you took it

and we're going to try to sell it for profit and you left somebody without their car, that is considered a felony. But if you just steal it

and enjoy ride it, that's a misdemeanor. Okay, So that's how law

works there. Like once again, guys, you guys don't remember it.

So if you steal a horse and I don't know, he still stole though, he's probably still counts here. So she's now looking at more uh like

charges than you ever would. If you would just stole the car and enjoy

ride the car, it would have been a misdemeanor for a car. Now

she's looking at felonies because it's a horse and it's a buggy and the value of the buggy. And I'm like I was looking at I was like really

like and then I started thinking about it. Like I said, I had

a look at a lot of law stuff when U back in my early years when I was an investigator, and so we had to take all tho law classes and I remember a lot of stuff. And it's funny how a lot

of these laws are stolen the books that will really get you hemmed up that in modern daytime, that you would never think about it because we're just not dealing with it. But you have to revert back to whatever law fits.

So that's what she's that's what she's facing. She's now facing the law that

fits the crime, even though it's a lot of that's old law. You

know what. That's crazy, Like, definitely something to think about. Well,

it's not like we're gonna go out and steal a horse and buggy.

I mean I can maybe on drunken festa or so, you never know, wild weekend out you know, someplace, But I mean, it's I thought was really really crazy. I was just like, that's totally nuts, you

guys, gotta to take quick corucial break. When we come back, we

got some more for you, guys. I want just a little bit older

so over. So you guys, hold tight and I'll be right back.

You're listening to Dave on Let's Talk Cars Radio. Dave will be right back.

JF. Witlow and Sons Incorporated. Welcome back to Let's Talk Cars Radio.

You're automotive specialists. Now back to your host Dave Pilach, Hey, guys,

welcome back. So we were talking about all the different things that had

to do with cars, with disinfecting, with stealing of cars, uned stings, monsdays. Here's one that this week seems I don't know what it is

things running sessions right as far as conversations in the car world. So I

got talking and I tell you, I tell you guys. All the time

I talked to a lot of people in different feeds and stuff like that.

And top of conversation this week was tires and people like man I feel like I'm constantly buying tires. My tires are constantly wearing out you name it,

insert constantly here, and it's always bad news on tire. So I put

the question out that I said, well, how often are you taking care of your tires? And they're like, what do you mean taking care of

your tires? I was like, dude, check your pressure, because if

you don't have a monitor in your car that tells you that you're lowing, you know, on air and stuff like that, how often are you making sure the tire pressure is good? Obviously with you know up temperas going up

and going down, you lose some pressure on the tires and stuff. I'm

like, how often are you rotating your tires? And they're like, oh,

well, you know I rotate. If somebody starts off the conversation,

we well, you know I rotate them and it stopped there. I already

know the answer is often as often as I'm supposed to, you know.

So then you start like, well, how often should I rotate my tires?

And I'm like, well, it really depends on how aggressive you drive.

I mean a heartbreaker, right, Like all the different things, there's there's standards obviously. Yeah. You know, people some people tell you,

oh, you rotate them every five thousand miles, and so people, I do mine every three thousand miles. Now I do mine quite often because I

have the ability to do so. But here's the thing. If you've got

a jacked up truck, the rotation period's going to be different based upon you know, what you're doing with the truck, how watching your tire wear pattern, stuff like that. That has a lot to do with it. Because

the roads, right, big jacked up trucks eat up tires because you know, they're towed in, they're towed out, they're constantly get knocked out of alignment because you're off roading them. Whatever it may be, right, you

know how hard you're a serrating from a light, how hard you're going into, how aggressive you are with the car. You know some times the car

needs that has a lot to do with it, really does. So there's

a lot that plays into that. And you know, people are like,

I just feel like I constantly put in tires on this car, And I'm like, well, you probably because you are, well are you doing to keep I'm like, are you what kind of tires are you buying? There's

so many things to go into it. I feel like I kind of opened

up the Pandora box having the conversation, right, I was just like I every time I interject into a conversation and a lot of these forum groups that I belong to and stuff like that. Sometimes it's positive feedback. Sometimes it's

people that just want to oh, well, you know, and go from there. And I'm like, look it not one. I know that they're

standards. Everybody's like, well, I looked it up and I google it

says I'm supposed to a friend, my sister's boyfriend's friend, or you know what I mean. Everybody's got their own idea when they're supposed to do.

I'm like, look, those guidelines that you find online are based on a spectrum of all cars. Like you know, just like cross the board of

cars, it doesn't curtail to you and your car unless you looked up that is that car exactly? Well, even that you can't, I can't when

they write something particularly on your car, they're riding on a broad spectrum of people owning that additions, right, not based on the way that you drive your car. If you drive your car aggressive, you are going to eat

up the time. Good idea that in the manual it should be like,

you know, normal drivers, for aggressive drivers, you should do your maintenance a little earlier or later, depend on how you drive. It is that

common sense, though, Like I got to put it in writing for you to know that. Like, no, it's not because people keep asking maybe,

oh yeah, there you go. It's almost like breaks. That's who

they thought when they put the one the measurement. People have the break conversation

with me and they're like, I feel like I keep on putting brakes on this car and I look at them and I go, you do camera, I mean, well, anybody else I haven't put on my car whole year.

I'm like, you put brakes in your car constantly because the way you drive. But I have that conversation with people all the time. I feel

like breakes and tires seem to go hand in hand with people constantly complaining about them, And I'm like, what's the common denominator? You? You you're

the problem. I'm like, if you feel like you're putting tires on your

vehicle a lot, you feel like you're putting brakes in your vehicle a lot, step back and take a look at the situation. Well, my buddy's

got a Honda a Cord and he hasn't put brakes on it nearly as much as I do. I'm like, hm, hm because the problems you yeah,

those a living glasshousehould not throw right right exactly, Yeah, stones, stones, frock. But yeah, I just find it interesting that people are

quick to defense, come to defense on the conversation of tires, and I'm like, I'm just trying to tell you that if you got a jacked up Ford truck, expect to spend about twelve to sixteen hundred dollars a year and keeping that thing going down the road straight. And they're like, there's no

way. I'm like, man, I had, I did it. I

had a Ford truck and I spent so much money a year trying to keep my truck going down the road straight because it was jacked up and had big tires on it. I wore out things in suspension. I was constantly wearing

out the tires should get And it's not like you look at the tire and part of the you know, tread pattern still kind of good, but you notice that starting to walkably were and then you go and you're like you take an alignment shop and they're like, well we need to realignment, but you know you got there's no point. You know, this part's bad on it,

Like can I just replace that last year? Like it's worn out again.

It's because the aggressiveness of taking the truck off road and all that kind of stuff. If you've got a muscle car and you're driving a muscle car

and you drive it like a muscle car, you're gonna eat up tires.

I know guys that put tires on their car every single year they have muscle cars. Why it's the way they drive. It's just it's the way that

in reality, they're literally only driving the car eight months out of the year anyway, so every eight months it feels like they've ate up a set of times, right, And like it's just you. It's the way you're like,

well, this is my regular, you know, daily driver. That

doesn't count. It's we're not talking about jacked up truck, We're not talking

about a sports car. This is just my daily driver. I'm like,

you can still drive your daily driver like a jackals Like you just can't because they ain't one of those doesn't mean you don't driving it like it is, right. I mean, it's like, just just because it's your daily driver

doesn't mean you don't drive it aggressively that point that you're wearing parts out in it. I mean, like, let's just be honest, guys. It's

just is what it is. Especially if you know for what type of car

you're driving, it could be already aggressive for that particular car. It could.

It's the guy I'm using the hot it's the guy that's driving a Kia and he's like, I got a Kia and it seems like I keep on putting tires on them, Like all right, could you drive it like it's a Corvette. I mean, it's like Kiah, I mean, and they're

like, I don't drive aggressively. And then they pull out of the parking

lot and they're like GOODOK, good things. They take off and you're like,

yeah, yeah, you don't drive aggressively at all. I have no

idea what we're talking about here. It's just it's that situation over and over

and over again. The reality of it is, guys, is take take

a look at it. Look at the tread pattern on your tires. Maybe

you rotate them a little bit more than you should and then make sure that you're rotating them in the right position and stuff like that. And people are

like, well, now if you've got directional tires and stuff like that, it's a little harder to do it, obviously, but you know there's certain tires you can flip the tire. You can actually flip the tire. You

see, like an uneven once you get a line, they'll flip the tire for you. I've seen all different kinds of stuff done. Get the best

life out of a tire as you can. But the reality of is,

if your car is doing exactly what the tire should wear evenly, you should not have an uneven uh wear pattern. And if you do, it's underinflated.

You got a steering problem. There's an underlying problem to it. Just

rotating the tire from the front to the back isn't gonna correct the problem.

And people are like, well, I rotate them my tires. I'm like,

yeah, you took the back ones, you put them on the front, and now the front those right right. I was like, and now

those problems are gonna go ahead and wear into that tire that was on the back. I mean, that didn't fix your problem. And they just look

at you and stairs You're like, huh. I'm like, you didn't fix

the underlying If you have an uneven wear problem, you haven't fixed the underlying problem. By just swapping the tires around, you may have took away some

of that road noise, a little bit that you're that you've been hearing, because that's what you can complaining about in the first place. I mean,

like I said, it's to me it's common sense, but maybybe it should being a car guy, it's common sense only to me, and it's not common sense to everybody else. There's obviously something going on. I'm so tired

of having the tire of conversation. It's not even funny because I went through

the tire conversation with Cameron for for years. Cameron wore some and tires off

a car. I mean, like, tire shop loved me so much that

all right, so I had a special tire on my car. People did

not keep in stock. However, because I got tires so much, this

one tire stop would keep four of them just in stock, not that I needed for now. What Cameron doesn't tell you was is I don't know why

the car keeps eating tires, Dad, because you keep on going to drift events, you know, late at night on the weekends and burning up tires and then you need another set of tires to coming that next week. You

know, he didn't, He didn't. He didn't put that in there until

I also had a bad knuckle arm. Okay, yes, I have a

bad knuckle arm because I was drifting my car regularly and mess it all up.

That's really what happened. But you may not be that guy. You

might just be one of those aggressive drivers that just wears things out just a little bit. Quickly, get your tires rotated, guys, check your tires,

make sure the tire pressure is good. I guarantee your tires will last

even longer and you'll be a lot happy camper. So on that not.

Let me take another crusher break. When I come back, we got some

more for you. Hold tight, I'll be right back. You're listening to

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

host, Dave Polach. Hey, guys, welcome back. So you guys

ready jumping into this topic. So we're talking about tires. You remember the

conversation that we had. We've had it several times. Let's say we had

it once where they were talking about the speed limits in towns right right, like you know, as you came into a city center, your car would be governing your talking about it. New York talked about it once. There's

a bunch of other states. I think, I know California was big on

I think there was a bunch of I think Chicago talking about major city areas.

Uh, and it seemed very futuristic. Right. So basically, if

you don't know what we're talking about, if you're trying to see what show that was, y, I have all that information in front of me.

The show is called I Control Your Speed Now. So go to check it

out on podcasts again, just say let's talk from He's from New York podcast.

Have a little bit of twin. Just go smart device, Hey,

play let's Talk cars Radio. You can also say the show name play I

Control Your Speed Now. Buy Let's Talk Cars Radio. You get to listen

to the show that we are referring to. So if you had never caught

that episode and you don't know what I'm talking about. In city areas,

they want to set cars up that when you came into like a like a city center area or heavily populated area. Uh, there's devices that would be

with inside the city that was sent a message your car and the car has to you know, have to run at the speed limit exactly where the speed limit, nothing above. So we talked about how you think traffic's bad,

now, right, I just wait, Well, here's the thing they see here was what they said. They said it would actually be better because every

single car is going the same speed. They could time stoplights to it,

and cars would go through intersections and you get to the point where you wouldn't even need stop lights because cars are so controlled that literally you could come right through intersections and cars like you see, like I told you guys before, Like you see like the Chinese army when they do their drill and they intersect each other to each other. Yeah, yeah, that they could literally get

cars to do that because they're all being controlled. So it would make traffic

go better. Well it seem like a pipe dream, right, cool,

interesting idea. I don't think I want my car controlled by anybody. I

think benefits. You're right, there's but still, you know, an interesting

concept as a idea. Well, here we are. California has latched onto

this idea and they want to govern it through the whole state by twenty twenty seven. Where they control your speed. That's on the freeways, that's in

town centers, that's everywhere the car cannot exceed what it was. It won't

be able to go over ten miles over now ten miles an hour over the speed limit is what they say. So basically you're just stuck into speed all

right, so you're stuck at speed limit. So the funny thing with it

is is if you have control of my car and what it can do, you're gonna start off with saying, well, it's gonna be ten miles an hour, and then we're just gonna take complete control of everything in my car.

Over time, we're like, well, we're gonna do this because they were talking about they get up and down it, right, So let's just say they decide to do a construction area and they go, we want you to go twenty five miles an hour through this construction area. They set that

area at twenty five miles an hour, and that's it. They have control

of everything in your car as long as it's reading off of that sensor.

Once again, this is where I try to tell you guys, you're just in people movers. That's it's just gonna be a Your car is gonna be

come pep mover because everything's being controlled by somebody else. You're no longer driving

it. Now, somebody's controlling your speed. You're just sitting in it and

it's just moving you from one point to another. You might as well just

get rid of cars and just do trains everywhere. I mean, if you

really want to control it. When I was going with the idea of,

like, you know, people won't individually own cars anymore, it just be a company based and this fall just falls right into that. I mean literally,

I mean this was just a concept of an idea, but I could see how it would work. And I told you guys in some of the

other episodes we talked about how I just think this is a really bad look.

I'm for great ideas, but some stuff I just feel is a huge overreach. This to me is still would that work? And Angel wants to

know, how would that work in the La rush hour? Literally it would,

Angel, it would. I've and I've been in that rush hour.

And Al he's talking about if you ever drove from Modesto, California, back into San fran like in the morning, that's a four hour like drive into work. You got to get up like four o'clock morning to be there at

eight o'clock in the morning, because the rush hour in that area is just crazy. So I understand, Zachy, and I've been in the LA area

a bunch of different times, go from Vegas to LA and I've done all that kind of stuff. So I know zactly what he's talking about. When

you get stuck in that traffic, it literally is just going to control speed.

But what there's saying is it'll actually make traffic flow. Here's the thing.

So there was a study done by a university years ago. Go look

it up. If a guy, I think it's two miles in front of

you, taps his brakes on the freeway, it affects the next twenty cars behind it. Well, it rolls back for miles. Mile effects that one

guy going back miles will actually affect traffic and make traffic back up because the one guy two miles ahead of you keep breaks keeping people speed limit isn't gonna change breaking habits, but it will because all the cars now nobody's breaking.

No one's doing that themselves. You have no control over that your car,

Well, it's just we're just doing speed right now, they are. I'm

telling you it's gonna it's gonna roll into them controlling everything on your car.

We're just I'm just talking about what we have today, right, absolutely, But if you got to the point where everybody's rolling at the same speed, even if with them them having control of your breaking system and they govern the cars. Everybody's gonna go the max speed, right, They're gonna go to

the max speed they can go. So if everybody's traveling at that max speed,

they say it will help traffic. Everybody's think it's gonna be like one

of the things that like, we feel like it's gonna improve us times.

I think the envision's bad because then people can't move out of each other's ways.

You know, you get the slow drivers, you can't speed around them anymore and stuff. I think it has better intentions for self driving vehicles than

it does for everyday gas power vehicles. By the way, I do feel

bad. I will say. Yesterday, so I was stuck behind a car

who just could not go the speed limit. We were in a fifty five.

They were going thirty five, and they kept us at thirty five on a one lane road for almost two miles. And then when it finally parted

off to where I could turned my turn and I was able to pull alongside it, I was like six cars behind it, you know, it was keeping me, and it finally turning and I put alongside. When I got

alongside it, I used the air horn on them just to wake them up.

Because they were fiddling around. As I look down into their vehicle,

they're fiddling around with things in their car instead of paying attention to just actually driving. So if you got scared because it looked like you did, and

because I hit the train horn on you, sorry, get off the phone.

So sorry, yeah, stop drive your car. I mean to be

stuck behind thirty five miles an hour in a fifty five mile an hour zone for like like two miles because you're just holding everybody up and there was no way. Traffic was so busy coming the opposite way, there's no way to

go around them. So we were all just stuck. That's the worst.

It's the worst. Drive two miles an hour at thirty five miles an hour

when it's supposed to be fifty five. And just watch how your patients slowly

get eating the whales it windows down. Because that's how I felt. I

was just like, oh my goodness, and I just wanted to get home.

That's why. I just want to get home from where I was driving

from, and I was just stuck. I couldn't go anywhere. And I

watched everybody kept on like sliding their nose out around looking see there's traffic coming.

You know, I feel like the people that drive really slow are the people that are just like driving on the clock. They're working and they just

you know, they're just riding the clock as far as they can. Maybe

it could be, I don't know. Here's another one for you guys.

You ever had have you ever had your car toad? Anybody had their cartad?

Okay, you know how bad that sucks to have your car toad?

Like did it get towd because it was illegally parked? Host towed because they

had to be towed, or got towd because it was illegal, never been towed because there's legally parts. I almost did How's job one time, and

and I parked in a complex apartment complex parking lot and stuff. But you

know, all those parking spots are all reserved for you know, people that there's no like workers, there's no visitors working and stuff. So I parked

my car and luckily the time I walked out and stuff, dude is literally about to hook the tow truck up to the car. I'm like, no,

no, I'll move right now. I'm like, don't even hook the

because you know, once they hook it up, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a hook feet so there has always been. You guys know,

I messed around with the tow business for quite a long time, and IP towing, which is legally park is just one thing I never even liked.

I never like IP towing. I just makes you feel gritty, and you

don't know how long they've been there. I just pull it up. I

just I don't I don't like somebody. You know, you're leaving somebody stranded

without a car, and that they're going to have to come back, not knowing if they're in an emergency, not knowing if they need to go somewhere, sticky all the way around. Like maybe maybe I'm too good of a

person. I don't know. I just don't like IP towing. Well,

there's this thing now where the car people's cars are getting towed and they called him hostage for like these like really big exorbitant fees and there's really nothing that you can do about it because they said their fees, because they're setting the fees. Like I told you guys years ago, I had a car that

got a friend had. I had it towed off the freeway for him,

and they he it was a car that I gave him. He drove it,

didn't follow all the rules that I told him to do before he drove it, decided to want to drive it a really long distance about checking all the fluid, and the car broke down the freeway. So he calls me.

Of course he's mad, and he's like, well, I just got the car, picked it up. Now it broke down. I'm stuck.

D da da. I said, where yet, So I sign a toad

truck for it. My tow truck gets there and the car's not there,

so it has been towed by someone I call hi highway pirates. So because

that's just what I feel like it is. Technically, by the law,

you're supposed to have up to twenty four hours that car sitting there. That's

different. No, it's different, and it's different in different states. They

don't. Yeah, in our state, you're supposed to have twenty twenty car

hours. And the only reason why I know that is because my three fifty

Z broke down and an officer pulled up behind me, so they they impounded this car that my buddy was driving. A tow truck, A highway pirate

got it before. But the tow truck I sent to go get it,

and the guy hits me with, well, it's the weekend, so there's a weekend charge, and then there's the tow charge, and then there's the me to come open up the gate charge to let the car out because another week another tow truck had obviously the car broke out, so I had some tow truck, that tow truck to go to his yard to get it and bring it back to me. He was there was a gate charge, there

was a weekend charge, there was a tow charge, and finally I went, you could have it. I told him. I think I told this

story for I told him you can have the car. You have it.

It's yours now. But buddy, you own it. What do you mean?

I was like, I'm not paying all those I don't want the car that bad. I obviously let a buddy take it to go drive it because

I wasn't too concerned. These truet my title, right. I was like,

you get the hassle, try to get my title and you can have it. There's a case right the second. Go look it up. Guys.

That's online about a guy who had a semi truck toad and they are holding it for forty one thousand dollars in fees for towing it, which, by the way, I've seen big fees on some of my trucks if they're flipped over, if they're wrecked or whatever. Da da da, But forty

one thousand dollars. They say he forged the signature. They never told them

the fees, where the truck was going, all that kind of stuff.

Go look it up. It's in the news right this second. It just

made me think about just how bad it is when you get your car towed and you have no control over it. Look for those signs, because sometimes

we park places a sign said if we tow the car, there's this fee, and there's a bunch of the feesure listened out, toe fee, in pound, lot fee, all that kind of stuff. You'll see them on

the sign. Pay attention to that. It was a conversation that came up

this week and I looked into it and I was just like, oh, there's a lot of people out there have a lot to say about it.

And then no, guys, I gotta go ahead and get out of here.

It has been a great Saturday hanging out with you guys. Sunday is

right around the corner. As I always tell you, make sure you're unplug

play a board game with your kids, fire up the barbecue, enjoy time, hide the cell phones and the cushions, whatever you gotta do. I
