Gardener you run long, well then?
okay, well, let's just talk about that right now, was it?
a good experience or a bad experience?
It was a weird thing.
Oh yeah, he called me.
Yeah, i called Conrad to ask Conrad if there was some secret, handshake, magic thing that he did So I was showing off the car I was driving.
I was showing it off to something.
Was the handshake like this?
No, it was more like So.
Anyway, i was showing it off and so I hit the remote start to start it so they could hear it and all that stuff.
The guy was sitting in the seat saying, oh, this is so nice.
You know, he was really digging it and liking it.
So I hit the remote start and we were talking.
So he got out and we finished talking and I got in it to leave And I put it in gear.
Well, you got to hit the start button.
I put it in gear And the car went stupid.
And the car went stupid.
What does that mean?
It means that the engine died.
There was no alarms, no bells, no whistles or anything like that going on.
The radio was still on, the lights were still on, the windows would go up and down.
Everything worked except the motor, and I couldn't get it to stop.
I could push the off button.
Nothing I did would get everything to turn off.
Nothing.
I hit on star, on star.
Hey, i got a problem here.
Can you reset me or do something?
That department left three minutes ago.
It's 8.03
.
That's department, yeah, so that's what I call Conrad.
I said Conrad, is there some secret handshake to?
It must be a general motor.
Yes, you know, push the brake pedal five times, turn around twice in the driver's seat, or some nonsense.
Stick your finger up your nose, yeah.
Nothing.
So I called the press fleet manager.
She was at her mother's birthday party.
Yeah, you know she couldn't hear me.
She had to go into another room and she said And I told her party and at her mother's Yeah, and I told her, you know, the only thing I know to do is disconnect the battery on this press car, but I don't want to do it without telling you.
She said you want me to call a tow truck.
I said no, i don't want to call a tow truck, you know, because they would do the same thing or else they're going to take it.
What kind of car was this?
It was a GM, but no.
But what was it?
It was a Tahoe.
The Tahoe on, fix the review.
Oh, my God.
So.
So I met a buddy's house.
I get out and you know he's got no metric tools, so we're trying to find a wrench that will fit on the battery.
Anyway, long story short, got the battery disconnected, the negative post because the positive is buried.
So I pull the negative post off.
Conrad say just leave it off a few seconds.
I put it back on.
Nothing Work perfect.
Just reset everything.
Yeah, it didn't lose anything either.
Like playing pinball.
You tilt it, yeah, yeah, so the only thing.
I didn't lose anything, i didn't lose the radio memory or or any of the driving the seats.
No, you remember that you screwed up and and and.
Now it, let me get in it and start it.
I didn't want to try the remote thing again until I got home, and then I tried it and had a real right If you push the button like you're supposed to work, perfect.
It's almost like Conrad mentioned something about it's almost like it went into an Anna theft mode.
Yeah, you know that I didn't do it right, so I thought maybe I was trying to steal it so it wouldn't let me drive it away, but it wouldn't lock the doors or anything like that to keep me from getting no, because it doesn't know that it might have been a child in there.
Right, you know.
so I thought in a way I thought it was pretty smart.
but the other ones I've tried that on you put it in gear, you just locked you out.
I mean everything stopped, but this didn't.
I mean the radio kept blaring and lights were still on and just like Well, if you think about it, you know I'm pretty sure it went into some kind of anti theft that default, one of the first things on remote start is always locked the car.
That's one of the functions you're supposed to do Yeah, always to lock the car and then remotely start it.
So in this case, I guess you know it didn't do that, so the car went into something's up.
Let me go into anti theft Yeah And shut down.
But you can always clear that by pulling a battery.
So long as you got a 12, a 10 millimeter, you have to lock it with the remote, then if you want to the idea is that you leave and you come back an hour later and you remote start it.
Start it, unlock it, open the door, put your foot on the brake, hit the start button, because you've got the key in your pocket, bob in all as well.
You know who does that a lot.
Kathy does not like you, turns it on, so the air blows cold.
No.
And that's kind of what I did, because when I got there I locked it Now, went in, we were to for a little while and then when I came back out, i unlocked it and I was showing him your liquor store Now.
I was in the guy's driveway, so you know.
he said, can I sit in it?
and I said sure you did, but did he own the liquor store?
No, i think his cousin does, though, but then so.
I hit the remote.
So the sequence was right up to that point.
You know, i unlocked it, started it remotely, only you only Well.
I surprised me that it did that.
whenever I put it in gear, it just normally.
just my truck just stops.
You just forget it, you ain't going to do nothing.
So I just thought that was rather interesting the way it.
You were pretty frustrated on the phone.
Did you happen to look inside the book?
No, There's nothing in the book.
There's nothing in the book about that, Because you're supposed to be doing it the right way.
you're not supposed to be doing it the way I did it.
Well, don't do that.
That's what AI told them.
Don't do that.
Exactly.
Actually, it said you, dumb donkey, don't do that Dumb donkey, texas, cadillac dealer is the new owner of a 1966 lowrider known as the Snoop DeVille.
All right, yeah, i think I saw that The car was customized by rapper Snoop Dogg and appeared in 50 Cent 2003.
50 Cent.
50 Cent.
50 Cent.
50 Cent, not 50 Cent.
The car was customized by rapper Snoop Dogg and appeared in 50 Cent 2003 music video PIMP remix.
PIMP remix.
What's the car called.
P-period I-period M-period, p-period P-I-M-P Which means it's probably worse than the word PIMP.
So what's the Cadillac called?
again, i missed it Snoop DeVille.
Snoop DeVille.
Now it's a conversation piece in the nearly open showroom for Frank Cadillac of Arlington, texas.
According to TMZ, the dealership bought the car from previous owner, christian Bonilla, who put it on the market in December for an undisclosed price.
Of course, snoop Dogg had sold it to Bonilla with a blown engine.
shortly after the 50 Cent video was filmed, bonilla replaced the engine and upgraded the audio system, but he kept the teal upholstery and three chandeliers.
that reportedly secured the top interior award at a 2006 General Motors car competition.
Three chandeliers.
Had to brace the roof to hold the weight.
At Snoop DeVille's new home.
Visitors can admire the car while sipping a selection from the dealership's in-house wine bar called Cadillac Wines.
Every Cadillac you need that, what a waste of money.
Incredible.
I thought that you would appreciate all of that That's a Jeffrey story.
Anything Cadillac, everything Cadillac.
Everything Cadillac.
I got something real quick.
Ok.
Arkansas man is suing a country club after they refuse to give him the truck they promised him.
As a whole in one.
Buckle up, folks.
We have a whole in one car controversy brewing in Arkansas.
A whole in one, or a whole Whole in one?
Whole in one Car controversy brewing in Arkansas.
Long time ago, a Conway Conway, Arkansas man by the name of Austin Glaggett filed a lawsuit against the Moralton Country Club.
Gaggett played in the country club's tournament of the century.
His name is Gaggett.
No Claggett, Oh, Claggett.
C-l-a-g-e-t-t.
Claggett This is Arkansas.
Get your act together.
Tournament of the century on Saturday, a three-person scramble format in the buy-in of $375 for the folks to go play.
Before the tournament, The Moralton Country Club promoted a 2022 Ford F-150 4x4 super crew as a prize for the first person to hit a whole in one on the course's 10th hole.
The truck had a sticker of $535 and was allegedly donated by the Ford dealership, and so far, so good.
But there is a problem because, against all odds, the guy hit the hole in one on the 10th hole.
According to reports, it was a good, clean ace.
Everybody saw it.
It didn't happen on a provisional dropping a ball or anything like that.
It didn't happen out of a turn, So everything was legit.
Letter of the law.
So when Claggett went to claim his new ride after the round, however, a Moralton Country Club wouldn't turn over the keys.
Claggett's lawyer said that the statement on behalf of the client is that he did make it legitimately.
I've got to turn the page, guys, Sorry.
And the dealership they was accused of crawfish crawfishing walking backwards sideways In Arkansas.
That's how you know.
Someone means the business.
J Hodge Ford Conrad's doing it right now says that they were unable to secure the necessary insurance for the vehicle in time because they believe the vehicle was for display purposes only.
So in other words they shouldn't have put it out there, They shouldn't have promoted it.
The guy wanted it and they were not going to give it to him.
Yeah, i've done golf tournaments before and played in them where there's a hole in one car, but also organized a couple of them with a hole in one car.
And that hole in one insurance is all calculated based on how many players you have, how far is the hole.
You know a lot of other metrics to come up with.
You know, maybe $300, $500, $1,000 insurance for a hole in one car.
You know you got to think.
Golf tournaments around the country.
You know tens of thousands of them have a hole in one car in them.
So the insurance companies are making a killing selling hole in one insurance.
They should pay out.
Well, the Now the dealership didn't finalize the contract with the insurance company in time or correctly.
That's their responsibility.
They should pay out.
It comes down to who had the contract.
Did the country club have a contract with the dealership?
who was supposed to get that insurance?
or was the country club?
Because the ones that I've worked on the tournament people got the insurance for that Same thing.
It's just the dealership didn't do it, the group that was organizing the term and we had to do that.
Yeah, I've seen it where the dealership gets the contract.
I don't think it makes any difference as long as there's insurance on the car by somebody.
Well, i think it is Well it's not Go ahead.
It's not insurance on the car, it's insurance to pay for it.
Get the car.
I understand, but as long as there's insurance, it shouldn't make any difference Who has the contract, Either the country club, the dealership or the organized.
I agree Somebody needs to pay.
But if the dealership's saying they didn't have time to get the insurance, that's telling you there is no insurance.
That's on the dealership.
Well, in this case, i think the dealership went into it as a display.
The country club promoted it without the dealership knowing it, i think there was a little bit of communication to put out on the call.
That's where the lawyers get involved.
Yeah, and the only people who make money are the attorneys?
And this guy will probably end up getting his truck, And the guy that sells the crawfish too.
But it may be an old model by the time.
Well, this is an old story too.
It's Arkansas.
It takes a while to get down here out of the mountains, i got relatives up there, i can say that What do you call 32 straight white teeth in Arkansas.
A beauty pageant.
A beauty pageant A beauty pageant.
So anyone in Arkansas, send your It's Conrad Conrad.
No, no, no, No, no no.
No better yet send it to Info at Inwheel Time so we can all share on that story, because if you send it to Conrad, he'll just delete it.
He'll never read it.
Yeah, he'll never read it.
Call our toll free line 1-8-7-6-5-3-0-9.
It's kind of getting old.
Yeah, it is, there's a lot.
There is a lot of Tesla electric vehicle news.
Yes, there is Shocking.
Tesla has stepped up its US sales incentives to move new inventory out of its high-end Model S sedan and Model X crossover, with discounts reaching $7,500 plus free use of its supercharging network for three years.
According to the company's website, additional perk of three years of free supercharging on Tesla's extensive network is potentially worth a few thousand dollars.
If we say that's a good deal.
Depending on charging frequency.
the free charging also comes for non-inventory Model S and Model X vehicles ordered on the website for June delivery.
Well, you better hurry up.
The EV maker is also offering discounts and inventory of the Model 3 for buyers who take delivery before June 30.
according to its website, tesla added three months of free supercharging for inventory Model 3s last week.
Enough of that, Elon needs more money for his fight with Zuckerberg.
Remember.
Rivian Automotive has reached an agreement to access Tesla's supercharger network starting next year.
to incorporate the charging port design into its future electric vehicles, rivian said it will provide a charging adapter as early as spring of 24 for its current vehicles next year so they can access the 12,000 superchargers contemplated in the deal.
Ford is again increasing the price of some models of its F-150 Lightning electric pickup, with the base model now starting at $61,869 including shipping, up about 50% over the initial starting price when the truck launched in April 2022.
It's good advertising at $42.
The price hikes come as the automaker reopens retail order banks for current reservation holders, resumes vehicle shipments and returns to full production at its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center following a February battery fire.
So I wonder if people who got the pre-orders in are still going to have the price that they had when they ordered it.
They should have it, or are they going to crawfish on that?
Who knows?
Back to the electric thing for a second.
Hyundai will consider making its vehicles more readily compatible with Tesla pushing for North America, the South Korean automaker CEO said on Tuesday.
So everybody's climbing on board and that will no longer be a news story before long, because everybody's going to go to the Tesla charging mode.
Oh, because there's one more Tesla stations out there than anything else And that's why, and because this two charger plug thing is way too much.
It's kind of like Betamax and VHS.
What happened to Betamax Cause everybody went to VHS.
Well, and Elon's going to make billions on it, cause it wasn't the deal.
Three billion, i think, is the estimate.
The deal with GM.
GM Ford Rivian remember.
Carlos Ghosn.
Yeah, what a guy Yeah.
He's a bag man.
Former Nissan Motor Company chairman, carlos Ghosn, sued the automaker for more than $1 billion in a lawsuit filed to Lebanon's public prosecutor.
He's got colonies.
The lawsuit accuses Nissan, along with two other companies and 12 named individuals, of crimes including defamation, slander and libel and fabricating material evidence.
Ghosn wants a leading light of the global car industry was arrested in Japan in late 2018 in charge with financial misconduct.
He denied the charge and said his detection was part of a plot by Nissan executives to block a merger with Alliance partner Renault, which Ghosn also led.
Ghosn fled to Lebanon, his childhood home, in late 2019, hidden in a box aboard a private jet.
He said he was escaping a rigged justice system in Japan.
All right.
He knows he didn't come to the US either.
No, because in Lebanon they don't have an extradition treaty with anybody.
Come on in.
Well, if he wants his money, you have to come come get it.
Get him out of Lebanon, and then they can throw him in the clinic.
We'll see if that happens.
At any rate, i just thought that you would enjoy those stories.
Time now for Conrad's car clinic.
Yep.
So why don't we go ahead and do the car clinic?
because we know that it usually takes you longer than the allotted time.
So I'm going to allow for that right now.
Well, aren't you thankful?
Thank, you, thank you.
Well, you were talking about, you know, let's keep it, you know, kind of technical on the vehicles themselves.
So this week we're going to talk about exhaust manifolds.
Okay, you know, an engine a gasoline or diesel engine is basically an air pump.
How much air can you get in and how much air can you get out, and how loud is the bang in the middle to push the piston down, to create power?
So one of the cheapest ways to make more power is improving the air flow of the exhaust system.
Hence, that's why so many hot rodders put headers on car.
The first one here is what's called the Chevrolet Ram Horn, very popular exhaust manifold was used on millions of Chevrolets through the years, from the early sixties all the way through the mid seventies.
So you know, very, very popular but not good flow.
So that's why you see so many people throw headers on a small block Chevy.
It really increased the power.
It's free power is what it is.
It's ultimately free power.
Didn't Beerman sell?
Didn't he get his start selling headers?
Not start, but he made a fortune on them.
Yeah, Headman headers, Was it?
headman Had been dug.
But either way, Headman headers.
And just to interrupt and just say this that I'll never forget the first time I went to his house.
He says come on in Regular three bedroom single story house right Over in the meadows meadows place now.
Walk in in every room.
You walk in the dining rooms to the right.
Every single room in this house is floor to ceiling, wall to wall.
Headers stacked everywhere for every make and model of car that you could possibly do.
He was shipping them out And so and he ran a little bitty box ad like a one and a half inch by one inch box ad in the back of carcraft and hot rod and all the car magazines And it was, I think it was 49 or 59, 95 for a set of headers for your car.
It was cheap, Shipped to you, Lifetime guarantee, Boom, Lifetime guarantee.
And later on in the afternoon the truck would come to pick up the end of the day orders and fill up the truck with headers.
So he was just moving them in and out of his house all day long.
Smart guy.
So you know manufacturers recognize this free horsepower available to them So they started building their own exhaust manifold that had a header-like look.
So if you kind of look at the next one, but they're cast iron In most cases they're cast iron.
Now they're actually doing tubes.
This one was for the max wedge.
You know you can see even in cast iron that's pretty complex casting there.
That created the header look of cast iron And through the years different manufacturers did it Kind of.
The next one out after the max wedge was Pontiac and their Super Duty.
You got to remember Pontiac Super Duty started as a 421 back in the early 60s and evolved into the Ram Air of the early 70s and stuff.
So again it has that long tube look and that length of that tube was worked on by the engineers to create the most power, as well as the way that it scavenged where it came together, at the connection where all four of the tubes came together.
That was an important part of the design of the header or the exhaust manifold.
And then Mopar again did it with the street hemi with clearly what looks to be headers on the street hemi And you got to think that was cast iron, pretty heavy but it took some work to create that casting to do that, but very creative And they would glow a brilliant orange.
when you really got that feeling, when you were really banging on them.
And then you know Carol Shelby building hot rod cars.
He recognized the importance of it and he had his own exhaust manifolds that were cast for the.
You got to remember he had a 289 that was putting out what?
305 horsepower at the time.
Well, a big chunk of that was the exhaust system on the vehicle as well as the carburetor in the tune.
But you know just how much power can you create just by changing the exhaust manifolds to a better flowing exhaust manifold 10 to 20 horsepower, usually That was pretty significant in the day, So that would have been the small block.
and then Ford said, Hey, I can beat that.
And then they built these headers for the 428 Super Cobra jets.
Again, some of these are pretty rare to find and very expensive to find originals.
So again you can see that they're trying to create that exhaust flow to get the air out of the engine.
Next week we're going to talk about intake manifolds and getting air into the engine.
And then you know, finally, today, you know, everybody says you know, put an LS in it, tub it out, or Jeff says put an LS in it, tub it out.
So this is what the exhaust manifold looks like on the LS to Chevrolet engines.
What does it?
look like on my Corvette, because I can't see it.
Probably not too far from this, but yours is an LS one, so it might have been a little bit shorter runners, but you had headers on there.
No, Oh no, it has a Corsa catback exhaust.
Anyway, go ahead.
So what you can see in this.
You know there was quite a bit of work put together to create that flow range to get the air out of the inside of the engine.
You want them to be long, you want them to be smooth, you don't want a lot of really sharp bends in them.
So you know, all the manufacturers recognized, as the hot rodders did, that a set of headers that look like this are pretty important.
So they were building basically cast iron headers in production.
So why did the factory once they realized this?
why?
what was the advantage of staying with cast iron versus building a header?
Well, not just that, but why didn't they all change it to a scavenging header, like the late model LS motor?
Because the cast iron is cheaper than welding together tubes.
Seriously, Yeah, manpower, Just in manpower Labor.
Yeah, You know you can.
How big are you?
You know, once you had the sand casting you could build, you know thousands of exhaust manifolds where a header requires somebody to get in there and take it together and piece it together.
That was the first thing I did on my Corvette put a set of headers on it And I don't know what they were.
And it'll wake the car up.
Yeah, you know, definitely will wake the car up.
My oldsmobile's got headers on it.
Wonder what the number one header maker seller is these days.
I would think Hooker, yeah, that's what I would think.
Hooker headers Hooker, yeah, that's what I would think.
Hooker Headman Doug Thorley.
Yeah, Headman's good.
Thorley may be good, but I don't, volume-wise, honestly.
No, no, i would say, volume-wise would be Hooker.
I think Edelbrock makes headers now.
Well, when?
we watch the NHRA races this afternoon.
Look on the side of the car because it's going to be heading for Hooker, that doesn't mean anything.
That just means he gives them money, that's right, Run the sticker.
we'll give you some money if you'll win.
But again, you know it's easy horsepower by getting the air out of the engine.
Next weekend we're going to talk about getting the air out of the engine.
So a possibility, if you keep your foot out of it, of getting a little bit better gas mileage.
Yeah, well, that's not why you put headers on it.
Of course not.
So anything, so anything.
We talk about port and polish.
Yeah, I'm not really going to talk about port and polish.
There's an aspect of that, and that is when you put two pieces of metal together, you want that air flow to be smooth over that mating surface, Right?
So the only thing is making sure that mating surface is exactly the same as the two pieces of metal going together, And polishing is smoothing it out.
So it's not a rough surface to create a boundary layer air turbulence.
Okay, i did have one.
I don't have time to read all of this.
I'm going to read this separately.
Candice is watching.
Is she?
So be nice.
Is she reading her text messages?
I hope so.
Oh, she texted me back.
I see, i gave her a hard time Blank.
you may not be able to read her text messages.
I don't think they want to.
She says sorry, buddy, i sure tried.
You didn't even call or text, no, because I didn't know this was gonna happen.
It was a surprise.
It was a surprise Mars kept it a secret All right moving on.
It's all Mars' fault.
Always is, It is yep, and we're all of his wives.
Okay, how are we?
Mars.
Oh yeah, kind of a sick way.
Alrighty, all right, quick break.

The episode also dives into the quirky story of a man suing a country club over a promised truck for a hole-in-one, and features a segment on exhaust manifolds, highlighting their importance in engine performance. Listeners will appreciate the blend of technical insights and light-hearted banter.
Original notes
Ever had a test drive go horribly wrong? We sure did, and we're sharing all the juicy details of our bizarre experience with a GM Tahoe that left us scratching our heads. Learn how we managed to troubleshoot the issue by disconnecting the battery, resetting the car, and exploring the ins and outs of remote start systems. We also touch on the possibility of an anti-theft mode being the cause of the problem, and the importance of following the correct sequence when using a remote start.
But that's not all! We're also diving headfirst into a wild story out of Arkansas involving a hole-in-one car controversy. Join us as we break down the legalities of hole-in-one insurance and explore who should pay for the prize when a golfer is denied his well-earned prize of a 2022 Ford F-150 4x4 super crew. And if you're a car enthusiast, you'll love our deep discussion on the world of exhaust manifolds and free horsepower, focusing on Chevrolet Ram Horn exhaust manifolds, Beerman headers, and the exhaust systems of various other popular car brands. Don't miss our next week's topic on intake manifolds and getting air into the engine!
