I didn't have to be on Does that make sense? I didn't have

to I didn't have to be hey, you know what I mean? On

kind of this morning. I just enjoy Yeah. I just got a chance

to kind of lay back today. I just say this morning and just really

got to, uh just do my thing, walk around a little bit, check out some cars, put my head head underneath some hoods and see what people have going on. I didn't manage to pass out some a little bit

of swag. So thank you to the NAPA BDG group. If you guys

have never got a chance to check them out, go to NAPA BDG HRVA dot com and check out all your local NAPA garages. If you guys have

never heard us, if you tune in for the first time, which a lot of you guys could be, but a lot of you guys fall us a lot. That's all of our local NAPA auto garages that are family owned

garages that partner together to help you solve a common problem, which is get your car fixed by local owners. And like I said, you can go

real quick for me, like click follow and let them know that you guys are hanging out with us, and uh, you've run into something that you can't fix if you're fixing it yourself, or you shouldn't work, like work on your car yourself. They are great, great sponsors of us. And

like I said, so we had handed out some swag today, but like I said, I kept kind of a low profile. And man, there's

some really cool I saw what a gts over Ferrari, what a like nineteen eighty six, eighty seven was there there was. I think I saw two

different Lambeaus today, two different places I end up. So it's kind of

cool. There were some really really nice examples of different stuff out there day.

Some cars I just hadn't seen in the area. Yeah you were talking

about that earlier about Yeah, cars you just hadn't seen come out. I

like, I always like when I see something I hadn't seen on season, you know, some of the regulars and stuff out there. But I saw

some really nice stuff. Got me a new shirt. Check it out.

Cool cool, cool, late model Domestics was out there handing some things out.

Got a chance to chat it up with those guys. Really good information

out there. So if you guys had not had a chance to check them

out, uh, definitely to go over and check them out as well.

So they're building some really cool um high horsepower stuff and you guys know how I'm very much into that. So yeah, real good time. Like I

said, real low key. You know, I think I needed a low

key day. I get we get to point where you know, we're like

five different things, you know, in one weekend, sometimes different events, and you know, I love seeing everybody shaking hands, hanging out, everybody having a good time. But sometimes it's just cool just to maybe I'm plugged

just a little bit, like I tell you guys do all the time, and just be able to walk around and see stuff. I saw John,

Yeah, yeah, all right, I gotta get him a shirt then, Um, John, I will come through on that. I'll get you a

shirt, sir Um. And a lot of people that wanted hats today too,

so I gave out some hats and stuff. So it was cool.

Like I said, it is just I was doing really low key. But

anybody people who know us and know the faces, and then they're like, what do you do? What do you got in the bag? What do

you got in your goodie bag? So if you guys do get a chance

get out some of the car shows. If you see me, hey,

you know, do not hesitate. Can't say hey Dave, what's going on.

We'll talk a little bit. Always got something run around, some swag

or something like that from either for myself, sponsors or whatever. Do not

hesitate. I tell everybody you know me, mister Kayos over there or mister

VB over there, he's We're all very approachable. You know, we're out

there to hang out with you guys and have a good time. So please

please do not feel like I some people can't play. Hey, I know

you guys are doing something out mean to interrupt. You're not never interrupting us.

We're always there to hang out with you guys. So just remember that

because if you guys didn't know, you guys could always text us on Facebook, Facebook Messenger, or even send us a message to our text line seven five seven eight six six two one nine two. It's I know, people

people get to the point and they're like, oh, I don't mean interrupting.

I'm always I mean, you are not interrupting me. You know,

I'm here for you guys to hang out. And then I think we had

something Nate. Somebody stopped Nate last one and stuff like that. He's like,

you look like you're busy or whatever, and he's like, I'm not busy. So well, yeah, we appreciate it all guys. Like I

said, very humbled by just the fact that, you know, when people stop in and want to chat and everything. So I had some pretty cool

stuff that's going on this week. I wanted to kind of jump into it,

you know, we go to a lot of these different car shows all the time, and it's funny because the conversation we end up having over and over and over again is amazing that it's a conversation I think I was having when I was a kid. And it's generational. So you have always the

generations that are you know, higher than us. And I'm I'm not going

to pick in like an age group or anything like that, but let's just say, you know what, seventy trickle down from there because if that makes sense, you know, and it's always like, well, you know, back when I was a kid, you guys, or sometimes as you guys wouldn't understand, or maybe things are changed. You've heard it. I think

I even like every generation thought their generation is the best generation. You think

that's what it is? Yeah, you smile? Do I do that?

Yeah? I mean sometimes I've always said that. You know, it's kind

of like comes down to the point where like you didn't really make your generation is a generation before you that put in line what you know, what you grew up in. Do you think I app Do you think I apply that

to you? Guys? What do you mean? Do you think I use

that terminology? A lot with you guys, like, well, my generation,

Do I do that to you guys? Not? Not a lot?

No, I mean I feel like you see both sides. I mean,

but I may feel I feel like everybody in their own ways feel like, you know, something in their generation was better at that time. So it's

always just talking about this. On the other show though, I think we

had a viewer in front of us where I said, he keeps saying my generation, I'm part of that generation. Look can we do it? Like

two thousand and three was when, like I said, I wasn't going to put any years to that, so answer me this seriously. So, Nathan,

do have I with you guys growing up? Do I always say,

well, my generation back when I was a kid. I don't think I

really know that to you guys, know now, Okay, Like I said, everybody got the little you know thing that they're like, this was better back then. But I also feel like that's nostalgia to a certain degree,

where like they don't really you know, everything is always better when you're a kid. Okay, So all right, maybe all right, so I'll hold

I'll hold that for a second. I think they're okay, So you know,

I think things were great in the eighties, right, I'm totally stuck, Like I think I'm stuck. I'm not gonna lie to you guys.

I'm stuck in the eighties. I know they make fun of me of it,

and my younger son he kind of gets it, but he makes fun of me of it too, which is fine. I mean whatever. I

mean. I think it's funny when they make fun of it, and then

the fact that they make fun of me of it makes me want to like antagonize them more with it and like beat them over the head with the eighties because I just think it's cool. Do me a favorite it? Justice camera

down there's a little bit because it cutting tops hisself so um. But it's

one of those things where I very much believe that if it's generational, and the more car shows we go to, I hear it more. But I

think it's funny, and this leads into it. And I'll tell you how

this kind of leads in. So we went to Arrest Front after the car

shows. Uh was that it was last week when we got done with it.

What we hit like three quick different shows and then yeah, so last week and as we were sitting in the booths. We were I could hear

the conversation over the top of the booths. Not that I was eavesdropping.

We were eas dropping. I want to say, we're ears dropping. They

were loud enough that it made my ear q in on the conversation. I

start laughing because it took me back instantly. By the way, guys,

thank you very much for being loud enough that I could hear it, because it just took me back instantly, and I heard them talking and it reminded me of being like that age. Now, keep in mind, at that

age we were probably like maybe a little bit worse than when they were.

It was absolutely, guys, Just so you know, it was a lot easier to get away with things because technology wasn't caught up to what it is now. Now you got cameras everywhere, like you know, people can catch

you doing things and stuff like that. Not that we were bad kids,

and I don't talking about like bad stuff. I'm talking about just being just

being kids, like exploring, having trying to do things and stuff like that.

Like I told you, guys, we like we were. We were

gear heads, and we were gear heads through and through back then. So

like the stupid stuff that we did was we threw like little little parties and stuff like that, and everybody kind of came over and you hope you didn't get caught, but we were like so Paul, and you always got caught.

No, no, no, that's not true. It's like so like

Paul, like like my eighth grade friends, like I still remember them, some of my eighth grade friends. I still talk to guys I'm you know,

I'm well adult now. But like those friendships, like a lot of

people think those friendships fall apart and you don't remember those people, like you'll forget their names. And people say, oh, that will never happen,

Yes, it does, you'll forget them. Unfortunately, you'll just forget them.

But I'm fortunate enough to still talk to some of those people from eighth grade now that I'm well into my forties. But Paul, Jeremy, Leanne,

Candy, Dave Ski, Dave Galleon. So there's a bunch of us

we all hung out and like so some of us we pushed the car down the driveway in the middle of the night and made sure on a rock driveway and trying to make it quiet. So we go cruise the back roads things

are changed. I'm not saying you guys do that now. You know,

this is not a how to you know session. I'm just saying, like

we did it, and we like at night, we went and cruised the back road, and that's probably how I became Karen. I'm just saying,

like the freedom and that's I mean, that made even a bigger gear head.

Back then there was nothing like the rolling the windows down and having that wind blow through your hair like midnight man on those back roads. Like you

couldn't do that now like you could. So that's the generational gap between things

like, Man, if you did that now, it's more it's more let loose situation. It's more like nothing's holding you. Back then, it's kind

of like you feel like you're on your own. You're doing what you want

to do right now. Keep in mind, I understand my show one percent

as a family show, So I'm not condoning my actions you know, back then or anything like I'm I'm just not you know, one hundred percent.

I'm not saying go do this. But it was funny as we were sitting

there and we were eating and I can listen to, Uh, these young are gonna be young adults at one point in time. I'm gonna say they're

probably ninth grade, eighth grade whatever, um talk. I can remember all

of us sitting in our group at restaurants and talking about, Oh my god, I we just did this. I hope we don't get caught. What's

gonna be the punishment? You know what I mean? Like I can remember

that, and it literally just snapped me back to going. Man, I

can remember being that age and like knowing that we just did something and like what's gonna like how's this going to pan out? And I'm over here and

just like, man, I remember the stuff that I did. Like what

you're saying is probably just maybe ten percent of this stuff, but it is.

But mine was all car related, though, you know what I mean?

Like everything mine was like we did something that had like was car related, like car related, like messing around. Car related. That I can

think of off the top of my dome is sneaking out at two am in the morning to go take an uber and then the uber said he want to take me and my friends, So I canceled that uber and called another uber which would take me and my friends. All right, let me ask you,

let me ask you a question. I got a question for you because

I know we're gonna run up on a commercial break. Here, think about

it real hard for a second before we go to commercial break, and I want you guys to think about the first time that you guys had the freedom of a car and took your either first day or the first time you had a girl in your car and you went somewhere alone in your car for the first time, and my car or somebody else's, well maybe you borrowed my car or whatever whatever it may be, and you think about that and the freedom that you felt from that. I mean, because it's like it's a

big thing, because when I talk to people car shows, I'm like, do you remember, like the first time you had the keys hand over to you your parents gave me the keys, or you had your car and you went somewhere for the first time, and you remember that, and like they think back and a lot of times people can instantly go, Bam, I remember that first time. Because I remember the first time, like I literally

remember the first time. It's interesting and the reason why I bring up the

conversation that they were having in the booth that I like I said, I wasn't really easdropping. I just heard them talking and bring back by the way,

guys, I absolutely if you guys are listening to this show, I want to thank you guys. What doesn't mean the eavesdrop. You guys just

took me back instantly to a time and I want to thank you guys for doing that because I truly remember being your guys age So Landon and Braxton, Jacob, the girl's names probably don't want to be mentioned, so I'm just gonna call them hell and the a's. I won't say your guys names.

Thank you very much for taking me back to that, because you guys just took me back to a place in time very quickly, and I appreciate it.

And you guys were very polite, and you guys allowed me to harass you a little bit. So thank you. And that note, I got

to take quick commercial break. When I come back, I might get their

answer and see if they can remember the first time they had access to keys in the car. I'll talk to you soon. You're listening to Dave Tolach

your automotive specialist. Now back to your host, Dave palatch. Hey,

guys, welcome back. So it's funny during commercial break, we are discussing

what past, all the past stories of what they what they actually remembered, and it was kind of funny because they're like, they're like, let me try to remember what I think I remember. It's not one of those things

that you just kind of keep like count is, like, you know, unless unless you do. Because you notice I was able to pull mine just

like that. Yeah. Nice, So you tell yours and can't tell mine

us, all right? So I remember, like literally, I remember the

first time I took a girl roll out driving for the first time, like out on a date. It was a girl named Sarah, and I borrowed

another girl's car. This is that's pretty bad at me, isn't it.

It's terrible? So I borrowed another tend what we were. We're friends.

We had a big group. I tell you guys. So if you guys

heard me say this a thousand times, we had a group of like thirty friends. Usually if you found one of us, you found all of us.

And if you ask anybody back in the day, it's it's just true.

It's not really a made up story. Uh. We just had a

really larger group of friends that we all hung out together all the time, usually on a Friday or Saturday night. Once again, this reason why when

I heard this group of uh, I hate saying kids. Guys think kids

isn't the right word, young adults soon to be young adults, teenagers, whatever. I hate kids. I just think that's the wrong term. Um

hanging out last weekend. That's the reason why when I see them doing that,

it always brings me back. We were a large group of of of

teenagers that hung out together the time. So yeah, my friend Tony loaned

me her Shadow convertible. I told as I told my thought it was a

Sundance was like, oh, well Sundance and the Shadows were the same car and it was white with a burgundy top. Convertible top and I went picked

up Sarah, and her and I went out and then we end up later on picking up some friends and then all group grouping back together in our big, huge group and hang out Handy Tony her keys back. Yeah, I

mean, but she let me take a car and uh we went and we went out for a couple hours for the night, and then we ended up all grouping back together and hanging out like we always did. That was the

first time I remember actually having physically use of a car by myself with a girl without any interruption with anybody. So that was like and I'll probably remember

that for the rest of the rest of my life. And it's funny because

I still am keeping touch, like I said, with people out of that group, and they I don't talk to Sarah anymore, but they still talked to her. Talk to Sarah. Yeah, I see that she's still tagging

into the group. So it's kind interesting how that works. Yeah, it'd

be weird, you know what You're like, Hey, you know, alight, you were me, Dave. Now she's still norus who I am,

but we just don't contact with that. But I see that other people that

I still keep contact with the group are still friends with there even after all these years. Facebook. Facebook, Man, let me tell you. Facebook's

a crazy thing. You'll get you in trouble, but it's cool, taste

connected. All right. So Nathanie, you're up. Who's the first thing

you remember? Oh? Wow, he just got real quiet on me.

I'm trying to remember. I mean, I got a bunch of stories of

just you know, the first time you have friends and we know the first tragic story off you have an access, like yeah, legal access to it.

First, get a car? Who who was that track for you or

me? Because I think it was more tragic for me than it was anything

else That wasn't my fault, was your fault somebody through a green being, I would say, probly her story up through somebody through a green being up my car. All right. So if you all don't know the first time

these these two rum dumb first week having license first, I'll always be a stay. They get their driver's license first, and then they go out for

the what I would call their first inaugural. Let's go drive and dad doesn't

have to worry about it, and these two crash into each other. No,

no, no, that's not all right. If we want to tell

this story. We're gonna tell this story, mister. Let me see just

how much of the story is so, mister man, we were out of boulevard and both cars nope, both cars were in a left turn lane, and some yes, and somebody threw a green being at my car and we start going down a certin road and then we turned right onto another road which was basically a big loop, and it turned from two lanes to merge into one because it's a bust lane. I was winning, Nate. I was

winning. I was winning. I was winning. Problem comes in time.

I was winning, and mister man should have let me merge. Even insurance

staid he should have let me merge. I took, I took clarify,

took the rough. I took the rough and said that I hit him because

technically yes I did hit him. Um but yeah, imagine from a parents

point of view, when you find out two cars total. I still can

remember your face driving up to one was his car, one was Nate's car, and one was my mom's car. All the ways I could fix it

before I came home. No, there was no way to fix that before,

right, right, right, So just imagine how I felt about two cars being totaled. Yeah, yeah, Hey, back to the first contact

though, My first time taking a girl out was your truck. Okay.

I took the Chevy Saverado and took her bowling. And then the time that

I actually had my car was the two thousand and six Honda cord Um.

And you know how I was. I didn't like people driving my car,

and she knew that, so I allowed her to drive my car to the beach. We left homecoming dance that her parents weren't supposed to know that she

left, and we went down to the beach. See, this is how

I'm talking about like nothing has changed, because I can tell you you can go talk to anybody that's senior to them by a bunch and there'll be similar stories where this connect. Yeah, you can connect the same stories to playout.

That's the reason why I think it's funny when we go to all these different events we go to. Even when we go to events where we fly

out and go to different states and we sit and talk with people, the same stories play out. It's just different years in certain different years here.

And I'm telling you so when I that's why I find it funny when we talk about like they're like, oh, these kids nowadays, and I go, wait a minute, these kids nowadays are doing the same same stuff that we were doing. The only difference is is the technology and the cars are

different. That's it, right, Yeah, yeah, exactly, you're just

hearing about it now. It's funny. That's the reason why I love going

out to all the different events, guys, because I talk with so many different people from like say, some from so many different generation. It's it's

it's generational. Like I said, you you just need to put a period

here from one year to different years. And they're like and they just don't

want And I'm like, you know what, our parents are the same about us. Your parents are the same about you. I mean, there's no

say the same thing right right, right, right right, They're gonna say the same thing about their kids. I can't wait until my kids have kids

so I can just sit back and laugh, because I'm going to I'm gonna laugh so hard, and I'm gonna be like the biggest instigator. I'm gonna

be like, yeah, sure, I think you really ought to do that.

Can I help? That should be my tandard mile My parents sent me

here. No, I'm telling you because I literally find myself when I'm out

at the car shows and I talk with so many great people and some of you guys, I mean you guys know we get in a great conversation with everybody, and the common ground for a lot of us starts at cars, and then it moves from cars to other things, you know what I mean.

I start talking to people about cars and they're like, well, you know, I decided to build a garage out of my property, like oh wow, you know where do you live? Oh? I bought some makers

and stuff like I like, no kids, so did we you know what I mean? What do you do? What do you do? And they're

like, well, you know, I retired from this and now I'm doing that. But a lot of times, you know, me and my friends

just get together and we tink around the garage and we sit around, we listen to music. I'm like, no kiding so to why you know what

I mean? And I'm like, what else are you interested in? And

before you know it, there's common interests in a lot of things. And

sometimes the boys are in those conversations and there is a generational gap between them and the person we're talking to. But then they find that common ground that

they're twenty two years old and the guy we're talking with us in the sixties, but they have a lot in common. They're like, well, I

would never think that somebody of your age, would, you know, have so much same interest And I do. And I'm like, see, and

that's the problem if you just take the time and slow down a little bit.

Yeah, they're twenty two years old, but there is a lot of interest between, like a year ago for cybersecurity. I still remember him.

That was a perfect or. We were talking. We were talking with somebody

a couple of shows back. The guy was talking about, oh, you

know, you know I like to work with wood and stuff like that, and I think Nathaniel I got in conversation. We're like, what, we

built a bunch of stuff out of wood ourselves, you know, you know, we were like explore that topic. And the guy caught the guy way

off guard because you know, he was right. We built in the studio.

We built everything that's in this studio out of wood, Like we built the big table that we're at and stuff. I know he wants to move

the camera, but there's a lot there's a lot of different stuff here that we built that's in here and thing. So yeah, so the backdrop,

walls, the tables, all different kinds of stuff that are in here, that are in this in this room are I'll go to cameras camera, So if you guys are watching here on camera, you guys can actually see there's a lot of stuff that's actually built here inside this room. And camera's gonna

try to turn our cameras because we have a lotto of cameras and stuff.

So the tables, the backdrop, all the kind of stuff you guys are looking at. This stuff's all built in this room was built by us.

If you guys, like I said, you guys are actually on on camera, you can see it stuff. You know, it's all hand built and

it's big. This big conference table we all built and stuff. So when

we were talking with the guy and stuff, you're good. Um it was,

you know, it was we got in a big conversation with people.

Don't get to see that that we have moving cameras. Yeah, yeah,

we have the cameras in here. Are all moving cameras in here. So,

um, the guy was I think he was a little shocked that Nathaniel was the age he was and had interest in, like you know, making things out of wood and all kinds of stuff like that. He just he

was he kind of stood back a little looked at Nathaniel, just like, really, you know, I tell people all the time, like, you know, twenty years ago you didn't have the opportunity to have information at the hand and stuff. I feel like, you know, at this point of

time, people should take that for what we had. Well, it's a

funny thing I tell. I tell people all the time car guys usually their

interest out is working with their hands just a little bit outside of cars too, you know what I mean. Like, but I find car guys usually

or tinkering with something else other than cars. They were all tinkerers. We

all like to tinker with things and stuff. So it does tend to go

you know, hand it had projects, it'd be it you guys know me the technology in it. It'd be a cam modified Tesla with code. And

it was funny you say that. I was ride behind a Tesla on the

way home from the car show today and I was like, what did you I just I don't know why. I kind of want a wide body a

Tesla a little bit on the back just give it like kind of like juice, a fiberglass work wide body it. Maybe you give it a little bit

different tailight, you know, on the back of it and just squat it down. I don't know. I just thought it'd be kind of interesting to

do. It's funny you say that. And then, know, guys,

I gotta take another quick commercial break. When we come back, we're gonna

jump a little bit more into it because I got some more things I want to talk about on this topic, and I got some more topics for you as well. Hold type, I'll talk to you soon. You're listening to

Dave Colaunch on Let's Talk Cars Radio. Dave will be right back. Okay,

guys, it's time to change up Liberty's commercial. Curtis couldn't make it,

so Michelle Price is coming in and she said absolutely no messing around this time. Hey, Michelle, are you ready? Yep? Okay, go

So for the last two years, if you listen to the show, you've heard me talk about my dream house. It has been a great experience buying

land, building my house, even selling my old house. One thing I

didn't tell you about was the real estate agent that I used. I use

Bob Bartem from the Perfect House Team in the real Estate Group. It's been

one of the best experiences I've ever had. Bob has been there for us

from beginning to end and treated us just like family. I'm telling you you've

heard me talk about this because it has been one of the truly best experiences that I've had. If I did not choose Bob, I don't think that

I would have all the best things to say about building this house. So

if you're looking to buy or sell a home, definitely give Bob a call at the Perfect House Team in the real Estate Room. You can contact Bob

at seven five to seven four six four one zero zero three. That's seven

Whitlow and Sons Incorporated. Welcome back to Let's Talk Cars Radio, your automotive

specialist. Now back to your host, Dave Palach. Hey, guys,

welcome back. So here is something that it's funny. I kind of get

in conversations when we're at some of the shows with interesting confusing. It's not

confusing for me, it's I think it's interesting. And I'm kind of curious

if I know, not a lot of people that listen to the show run into this because maybe they're not chasing this as much as some other people are.

So I know Aathaniels ran into it a little bit. So when you're

trying to buy a car, okay, there's a difference you're trying to buy a car and then trying to buy like your barn fine or your garage find or whatever it may be. Does that make sense you understand where I'm going

with us a little bit? A little bit? Okay, So if you're

trying to do a barn find, a garage find, a field find, whatever it is. I get asked a question a lot of how do I

get into the pricing? Like how do I know I'm making the right choice?

How do I you know? How do I know this is the right

deal for me right? How you know not overpaying for How do I know

I'm not over paying for this? And that's it's that's a really and I

just I ran into this again today just walking around trying to be low key.

I ran into this conversation again. Now, I know that a lot

of you may not ever run into this, you may never have to cross this bridge. But if you're a car guy and you're trying to buy something,

or let's just say that you're trying to get just get into you know, I tell a lot of you guys the best way, especially a lot of you family guys that are listening to my show. There's a lot of

you out there. I run into You're like, hey, man, I

start listening to your show. You know, have my kids sit down and

listen to it, which I think is great. It's very humbling to me

that that's happening. And you want to buy your first your first as something

you want to start working on it with your kid because you know, it's promotes that family time, which is the best thing to ever to do.

The best thing I would probably tell you is if you have a son or a daughter of this into car, you're trying to get into cart and doing cartan, or you're just trying to find a way to spend time together and this is a passion you're trying to start start with something that runs. I'm

gonna say the same thing. I'm like maybe it's not for you, you

know, just start, Just start with something that runs, so you guys can drive it over to the car shows and enjoy it as you're working on it. Okay, Now, if you're a little bit of a second uh

generation, no, if you're if you're a second level, maybe you can start with something that doesn't run. Maybe not a fine you know, right

right yard sale, it is something that doesn't run through me. Maybe you

remember those building kits from Michael's where you put the cars together right right, right, right right. You can start mebe with a second level of it

doesn't run, but it only needs a little bit to get it running.

And that's fine. You can still do that with with your son or art.

But just know where you're at, right because the bar fine, there's so many hoops you're gonna have to jump through that you don't even know yet.

It is exactly what it is. And here's the problem. So people

like I get asked the question, how do I know if I'm paying too much for it? Well, that's the first problem. That's that is the

biggest problem. Because people are like, well the guy that has I'm like,

well, the guy who has it, Okay, it's been sitting.

Is gonna try and make this most money offense he can. Some don't.

Some people just want it either way. But a lot of times if he

has it. You don't make money on the sell of something, you know

what I mean, Like you like if you bought it, your emotion and all that kind of stuff saying you're not you know, so you only make money on the buy. Like you're gonna make money on the buy side of

things. You got to buy it, right, you know what I mean.

So just if the guy tells you, well, it has this option and has that option, it's worth a lot of money. Blah blah blah

blah. Put that aside. Drop that out of your head, because if

you have no way of confirming all that stuff, you have no if you're just buying it and you don't know any of that stuff, you have to set that aside and set the emotion little side of buying it aside. You're

buying the car for it's base model, what it comes with X in your head, and that's just the amount of money you're going to spend on it and that and hold to that. Don't let get the emotional side of it.

You should need to buy it and buy it right. And if you

can't have it for that amount of much money, then you just don't buy it. That's the easiest answer. And do your research first, grab the

VIN number, grab the VEN number off the car, and run the VIN number and find out. Okay, they may look up the parts they have

much part absolutely is it hard to get the parts? You know, where

are you going to have? That's really important most cars nowadays, Like if

you're looking at, like, you know, an old Corvette, you should know you could probably get most parts for it. If you're looking at like

an old Camaro stuff like that, most of those parts you can get.

The problem with it is is buying the car right. I see people that

want astronomical dollars for certain things, and I go, this guy has lost his mind. Yeah they want value. No, not even that they want

like yeah, like you can't go buy blue Book because like, you know, know my trans am. I think if you look at it, well,

the value on it's like fifty five hundred dollars is what the blue Book says it's worth. I'll take fifty thousand of those at that price. I

mean, you just load my driveway up with them because you can't you know, you can't get that kind Well, I feel like Kelly Blue Book only does pricing of what the material is. You have to classic car value stuff

like that. It doesn't price that in. It just prices in the value

of the car itself. Like I said, they'll try to tell you my

car is worth nothing, but you know, and they do that. You

have to actually have like a there's a special book for classic yes, okay, so you have to go buy that. You got the specialty, like

which what class you're buying is absolutely car packages wise. I mean, it

all matters to people. I found. Um, I need to post a

picture of I haven't got around to it, but there's out in the woods out by me. I've been seeing this, uh musting for a while,

like one that you just showed me. Yeah. Yeah, So I finally

got up close to it was able to take a picture of it. It's

been sitting It's really cool. Umve just been sitting around for a while and

it is definitely a field fine car and I, like said, I knew it was back in there. The tree is finally clear enough for I was

able to pope through the trees and see it I got right up to it was they would take a pict after talking with the owner for a little while and and just getting him calmed down enough to let me take a picture of the car because it's on his property. Really do just want to by his

property? And I get it, but at talking with him a little bit,

let me take a picture of the car. So and I just found

another one yesterday. It's uh, I think it's gonna be a six to

six. I haven't got close enough to it, but I spotted it.

I go looking for what's out in the field. Guys, if you don't

know, I would say, if you're trying to find something that's gonna be like in the field, you know, look for rust, make sure that you know the title is there. But but then you need to know.

Then you need to do your research. You find out, you know,

want to hear make sure the keys. Well here's the thing, Sott.

Things that will drag out a project forever. No, no, it is,

I hear another one I have so um I know how to hot There was a car that somebody approached me on the kit Carloshonny about the Cobra.

Yeah, so I finally got I finally got the Yeah, I finally got the call back. Someone put a deposit down on it, you know.

But yeah, but I've been waiting for me how much. I don't know

whether it's finally sold for, but we could have probably had that car for a really good price. I've been trying to make the moves on it.

I did, but by time I finally made all my connections. Someone's right,

cars like that just you get beat to the punch on. Somebody beat

this punch and put a deposit down on it. So that's not gonna But

it was Acy Cobra kit car guys that we were trying to see if we could land the deal on. But you know, look when people have the

connections to it and we're trying to make the connections to it, the person already had the connections already boomed. They're on it, you know what I

mean. So it is what it is. But I get calls all the

time and all the guy's got one sitting in a barn, Hey I know the one's somebody's got one sitting on the field, and I'm always like, hey, let's make the connections. Let me see if I can put some

eyes on it. I'm not buying anything sight unseen, So it just happens

like that. I just find it funny that people are trying to make the

connections. They're trying to figure out how to buy it, but they're they're

asking, you know, how do I buy this? Right? How do

I know? And I'm like, look, just throw base model price out

of it, and then figure out do you have if you want it that bad base model price and then figure out after you own it, do you have something right? That way you didn't go wrong that or you know what

I mean, that's the only way you can do if you don't know anything about the car, that's the only way you can do it. Yeah,

Or you price it up what it costs to make it run in and what you want to be, and then if it's above what you want to put into it, you don't buy it, and don't buy it. It's the

easiest way to do it. I'm like, but the only way I noticed

that somebody in the right direction is to do it that way. Like,

look, it's like this car, buy something, Buy something that you are willing to keep right and stuff because you know you're gonna sell it that you're right, would you I mean, you know the deal. We've we've done

this a bunch of times. Yeah. Yeah, it's just the easiest way.

And camera has been around a lot of times with us. He knows

that. You know. It's like, look, it's X mount dollars for

me to buy it from you. So I know I had that much mount

of dollars. Now I had to put all these parts on the car.

Is that above them beyond the value of what they're selling for right now?

If I if I was on the car auction trend right now, I've already you know, you have to um register for these sites to have like yeah, and not to look not all of them, like co part they don't really got much stuff. Okay, so co part Okay, here's the thing

Jokeyard auction part is a wrecked auction number one, and then they got stuff that you could buy. It depends on how deep you want to go into

it, right, but you had to do your due diligence and really look through them. There's there's like six or seven wrecked yard auctions out there.

Man just wrecked jeep, a rollover jeep for eighty bucks. I don't know

what I was going to do with the geep by a wreck roll over, but I have no idea what I buy it because it's cool, whole top off of I was like, dude, I could chop the top off, you know, make like a Jurassic Park looking truck with like, I don't know what's wrong with you, Like your mind goes. Your mind sometimes goes

further down the rabbit hole than mind does, and I go pretty far down the rabbit I was like, I don't even have to repair the doors, because like doors, nobody needs doors as long as they opened. I was

just gonna say a dinosaur came out of nowhere and just I go on copart for different things. I'm looking for flood cars. I go look for the

car's been flooded because I don't want a lot of times, I don't want the motor in it. I don't want anything. I just want the body

because I want to take and like put a different motor in the car and rip. I just want them. I just want the body, the look.

I just want the car to look. But I want to put like

an LS in it or something like this. So I don't care. You

want to deal with all that water damage though it's not it's not water damage.

I don't care about all that stuff. Like I'm looking like for a

Ferrari that I want to drop a twin turbo LS. So I don't care

that right because it was a Ferrari, but I don't know what was wrong with it. There's Ferrari's always going for ten thousand dollars. I was like,

I know, I know what I'm getting into. I'm looking right,

I know I know exactly what I'm get into. I'm like, look,

I'm gonna rip all this stuff out and put my own stuff. You rip

out too now for tier probably be okay, you can fix a lot of that stuff, and I'm like electronics, I'm to do standalone system in it.

I don't even care about all that stuff. I'm put all my own

standalone stuff in LS twin turbo. Do you like eleven hundred horsepower or something

stupid? And just all i want is to the body. I don't care

you guys chew on that for a second. I'm sure I'm gonna get some

hate mail on that one. So I'm waiting for it. I gotta take

a quick mercial break when we come back. How about a free car because

a loose tire somebody may know what I'm talking about, the whole titan.

Talk Cars Radio. You're automotive specialist. Now back to your host, Dave

Palach. Hey, guys, welcome back. Hope you guys been enjoying the

show. So jumping right back into it's if you ever go to a race.

Okay, we've been to tons of them in many capacities. We probably

wish this was you, right, not that we've been to them. You

don't wish that part, well, maybe you do. We wish that you've

been to a bunch of them. Could be. I've been on both sides,

so I've been the spectator and I've been on the side of promotion side, so I've I've seen it at all. I've been parked in the hang

out and have a good time party crowd side, and I've been parked on the infield and how to do the business side of things. So I've seen

a little bit of both how crazy things have been. This one I think

is actually kind of interesting, and maybe you wish this happened to you.

Maybe you don't. I don't know. Depends on exactly how this pans out,

but it's pretty cool. If you guys watched the Indie five hundred,

you guys obviously saw the two car collision where the tire went up over the fence. If you guys followed how that played out, he would see that

the tire landed on a car and hit the car and it's kind of squished the car. It depends on how much I know they should they've covered a

little bit during race, but I don't think they kind of did the fall out of how that all came around. Does that make sense? Yeah?

So apparently here's the funny thing. So if you watched the one video and

Nathaniel and I were analyzing it, you just swore there was a dead body like underneath that car, though there's ever noticed, like there's sometimes people should have authority and maybe some people shouldn't have authority. Does that make sense?

Say a little too serious sometimes? Is that? Maybe? Is that?

What it is? Is that? Is that? What? Probably? What's

baking? Have? I watched it? I was like in the video,

so I'm like, okay, so I was like, what are you really guarding? It's just right right right? I watched it and I was just

like what what what? Like? What? It was just like a get

back, give back, staybody, stay American. I was just like,

it's a car with a dent in it. Okay, you're not pulling out

yourself, right, Like, I don't like, yeah, unless you're gonna get some dent pullers out and you don't want anybody in your way while you pull that dent out. I mean, I'm not really sure what exactly we're

guarding, but okay, cool, it just seemed very theaticure. You tell

me, maybe I'm wrong. You guys watched the video of yourself. Go

on there and just put in a five hundred tire and it'll pop up.

You'll see this video and then and then you just really it's weird. Look,

maybe I'm looking at it wrong. I don't know. You guys tell

me. But Nathaniel and I were watching it. He had the same opinion

I had. I was just like what, I'm so like confused and what's

going on? Trying to take pictures? I don't know. That's why not

take a picture. I mean, something weird just I mean happened, happened.

I mean like I mean you're gonna take a picture. I mean it's

almost like if you went to like Niagara Falls and the guys goes off like every old faithful that money mad about it just because of how close it got to the fans, you know, like, okay, but it already happened, like it happened, it was already a past event. Yeah. There

he literally was guarding a past event that it already happened. Like I can

understand if it was the tire, right, That's what I'm saying. Like

time, nobody's reaching down and touch like you might not want to touch a tire. They just went and did like like a hundred laps or something that

might be hot, okay, throw some cones around it, some some don't touch tape or something, and then have one guy stand there and go, hey, may you might not want to touch that. Hey, hey,

do me a favor. Just stand back. We prefer you don't touch that.

But people are gonna take pictures, right, people would you can't kind of just flew a mile, you know, you think people would understand like, hey, don't touch no, no, no, no, no no.

People do not understand. I'm just gonna let you know, like they

don't. Like okay, I'm gonna give you an example, absolutely example.

I understand you would think that. How many times do you guys go to

a steak restaurant and they bring the hot plate out and you go the plates hot plates hot? Uh, sir, can slide back a little bit,

hot plate, I know, I know, yeah, but god sometimes they do over push that be like here one second hot hot, the plate's hot because yeah, way back in the day, way back first time, way back in the day, back in my generation, back back in my generation, you're just waiting. I was a waiter way back, and I can't

count how many times I would have a hot plate and I have the glove on because the plate is hot, and I would like, uh, sir, I'm gonna set this down for you if the plate is hot, and I'll be I mean, I could feel it through the glove. I got

it on. They're like, okay, thanks, and I would and he

would. They would reach their hand out and try to help me right set

it down after I just told him twice the place food. It's just natural

reaction. It's just absolutely natural reaction for them to reach their hand out and

try to grab the other end of the plate to help you set it down after you told him twice it's hot. Yeah, but the same TV kid.

Sometimes you just have to let them do it. I Methane Nathaniel won't

put anything in light switch is a guarantee. I guaranteed will not ever put

anything into a light switch. He doesn't. He doesn't need to learn that

every again. Or an outlet, okay, outlet, I should have outlet.

Yeah, if anyone got shot by the toaster too, yea, and the toaster he was he was trying to fix a toaster. He I just

put a knife in it. I mean, I don't know why I put

in. We had a toaster. We found we finally found out what the

problem was. We had a toaster. I don't even know how it lived.

Had a toaster in my house that lived for ten years, probably ten years it lived, that was somehow hooked up to twenty. It was hooked

up to two twenty in my house. Now, you guys are never gonna

everything got burnt in that toaster, but it lived like ten years. To

coaster it lived, and we don't know. And then we're come to find

out they had somehow wired up that outlet wrong everything. I I never tried

to be company that told us that. Yeah, Well, after fixed it

half away, we had someone finally come out and you're like, you can put anything on that toaster and you could just put it on and you literally you didn't have to leave it in there. For a very short period of

time, we just thought it was really really great toaster. And I don't

know, I don't know how it worked, but it worked. And then

and we plug something finally plug something else into that outlet and it burned it out, and I put something else now, and I was like, man, someone's wrong. I had somebody come checked out and he's like, they

have miswired this. It is somehow connected to what you're washing and dry the

backside of what your washer and dryer is wired into, and that reason why it keeps on burning things out. So I don't know. I'm not electrician.

I don't know how that put up to that. So somehow they messed

it up. And but anyway, I look, all I'm saying is is

sometimes you needed just a good zap. All I'm saying is, look,

you can tell people not to touch things and they're gonna they're still gonna touch it. I mean, so maybe that's but you didn't see any tire in

this video. Anywhere there was no tire, and the video just leaves you

wondering why. But if the end result is I get back around, I'm

gonna circle back around. You hold tight. I guess after the tire hit

this car, that Indie team or Indie or somehow has decided the owner of that vehicle gets a new car. And if you take a look at the

car, go look at the video. Uh, that guy, I think

it's gonna make out. It's gonna be Okay, I'm not saying what you're

telling us. We need to park our car closer to the fenced. Did

you take a look at the car that got I did, or cruise or I? So I hope they buy him, like something really nice, That's

what I'm saying, Like something really quick whatever. Team. Yeah, like,

hey, man, get the guy like a really cool, like souped up Camaro or something something racy. But thanks for coming out, Thanks for

coming out and showing your support. Guy. But I'm like, I need

to park my car really close all the time, like right against where the cars are running. I just hope something. Oh man, a chunk of

rubber came off the smack by car. Do I get a new car?

Was crazy, Like it didn't hit the windshield, but it hit the hood and the fender. Yeah, it's like it crushed the hood. Like if

you look at the video, it looked like crush the hood, the front bumper, the fender. Anyway, I mean, it's great promotion for them

if you think about it. I mean, you couldn't abide better publicity if

you tried. I mean, what's fifty grand you throw at it, you

know, and that's for a couple months, right, we're talking about it, so it works. I mean, tell me if I'm wrong. But

it was just like I said, it was like it was like a weird hall monitor situation from like you know, from like elementary school. The safety

out. Yeah, yeah, there was Oh my goodness, there was a

safety belt on it. Okay, so yeah, safety belt was in it.

You guys can watch it. Tell me which the thing, Like I

said, I'm just gonna say it was just had a weird flashback. I

was just like, oh, it doesn't even say like didn't really don't tell me about it is going to look like I gotta see if it says something on the safety belt. It's just tired. Look, I understand everybody's got

a job to do, but like like there's just different ways to like handle it. And this is one of those things where it just was weird.

Like everybody's gonna take pictures because they're interested. That's just what I just want

to know. Did they wiel out an ambulance? I had no guys,

I gotta get out here. Nathania's looking it up. I see him over

there, typing viciously on his phone. Uh, I can't believe the show

went by quick. Hey, guys, I had a really really good time

over there at Round Bruin this morning with the car show. Well, like

I said, a lot of new faces were out. We're about you never

know we're gonna strike next. So hey, like I said, come see

us. Let us know where you guys are gonna be at, and we
