Was that for here or to go?

This is hard parking brought to you by Right Honda and Toyota out of Scottsdale Arizona, I am the voice, I am the host, I'm Jay fitting coming up on today's show.
We're going to get the little bit of car news.
We haven't done car news any while the Civic Type R is finally out going to look at what people are saying.
Hopefully Ryan Honda has one pretty soon and we can go over there and check it out. Do a walk around with mr.
Joe Genelia, about all I can offer at this point is kind of a quick walk around of the 2023. Honda CRV compared to the 2022,
more to come on. That Jay fitting here.
I want to tell you guys about foil online for over a decade.
40 lines for bringing the best truck accessories and truck parts to enhance the appearance and performance of all.
Trucks and SUVs are dedicated to providing an Of range of upgrades that will match any make or model on the road the truck products cover, everything you need, you have your truck, a custom look and added functionality and if you need a tire will package head over and use the configuration tool it, carry all the major brands of wheels and tires will get out there today. So visit them online at
four-wheel online or call them in a one three seven six, nine two four, five one. Again, that's four wheel online.
The number four wheel online. Kind of witnessed an interesting
thing the other day. So I was at the store picking up
some food. It's a Popeye's if you want to
know picked up a meal but as soon as I walk in it's just weird. This is weird customer.
I don't know if it's not really a customer service thing but it's just and it may be the older, I get the more I pick up on this stuff, but the guy in front of me was picking up his food and he asked the young lady, I do you have a drink holder and she said, no, we're I'm sorry.
We're out of drink holders. I can give you a bag.
And I'm thinking what the hell is this guy gonna do with a bag?
You need a drink holder, not to put your threefold ranks in a bag and walk out with it and it keeps them upright.
Like I don't have to explain to you guys what a drink holder is meant to do, but just the thought that she's like, well, I can give you a bag and then guys like no, thank you.
So he walks off, he's like the guy, such an asshole.
The go. Yeah, he's like one of the first
customers we had and he's a, I don't know what Uber Eats guy and I guess he's a dick or something, but it's just As it's interesting that she thought that that, I mean, I thought it was funny, but I could be that guy.
That's like, oh, that's interesting.
Can I speak to your manager, please?
Because you can't like the guy literally just walked out.
So anyway, I'm so I'm walking in is one other person in the dining room, sitting down eating and so I order the food.
I ordered food for all of us, couple chicken sandwiches 8, piecemeal spicy kids menu, guys. Keep in mind, it's just me kids
menu item. So we get the kids nuggets,
whatever else like see quads because, all right, take a seat.
We'll call your number one, your orders up.
Okay, cool, find whatever. Sit down three or four minutes
later cause my number get up there, and it's on a tray.
She's all. I'm sorry.
Was that for here or to go? I'm like, it's to go, okay.
I'm thinking I walked him by myself.
There was one other person in the dining room.
Like, what are we doing? Are we not paying attention?
Now, granted, it's fast food, right?
It's a starting job for most people in this work in McDonald's and they have weirdly a bunch of old people working there, but McDonald's gives opportunities, and I'm not kicking anybody for what they do to make money.
Trust me. I'm not but I had another
situation and I won't disclose the company, but it's a friend of mine who owns a company. Well, he became a friend of mine
after I became a customer of his, but before in a sexpo, we had a situation to where I needed some items and I To them sooner than later. So we had different
communication, I go. Hey, I need these items.
Need this color. Need this amount need this size.
How soon can you get them as well?
You know, I got to send them out to my guy and, you know, it turn around is week week and a half ago.
Well, I need them by this date. Can you make that happen?
He goes yeah, we should be fine. And then we had that
conversation. I send the files and we moved on
to another product that's it. Hey, no.
I need this stuff. When can you get this stuff done
for me? This is what I want to say.
Okay, so, we started designing it and sending back and forth.
You want like this one like that?
I go. No, I don't like that color.
And I like the shape. I like those order those winking
those be done. Well, we can have these done in
a couple days. I said, okay, cool few days go
by it's now a Friday. I need this stuff by the
following Tuesday, so I come into his office and I pick up the things that the second ordered items.
I go. Hey, by the way, where the first
ones, the first ones, I said, yeah, the first ones we talked about it, we did and he said there and search for the email and he found them from week prior.
But now it's Friday's is I don't work site Saturday.
I don't work Mondays, I go. Okay, well I need the stuff by
Tuesday goes. Well, you know, I'd have to work
today and tomorrow to get them done.
I go. Well, if you if you can't do it,
it's fine. I have another source.
I have a bigger Source. I try to support small business
You can miss a doing mm? Okay, I can do on my man to work
today and tomorrow. I'm like don't work too hard
just if you can't do them, that's fine.
I can just find somebody else. I know there's another company
that I know can crank them out for me, by the time I need him.
So stretch your time out for me so that Sunday him up, I go.
Hey, were you able to get those done on Friday or Saturday?
And he goes, well, I told you I don't work on Friday or Saturday. I go.
Oh well you know we just discussed that you were going to work on a Friday or Saturday, but can you not get them done?
If not, there's still time and you didn't really say anything.
I know, I'll get them. So then that Tuesday, I go and
pick them up and they first kind of had an attitude with me about it like, oh, how much are they counted them up?
I paid him his money for him, but the quality of the product was nowhere near what it typically would have been had.
He had ordered them. So I think he printed them
locally printed again. Yeah, these are decals from a
car. So he must have printed them
locally there in his office on normal paper.
They're not laminated. Nothing else.
So I'm looking at him like quality is not really there.
I only need them for like a week, not a big deal but I go to put them on the car and they just don't stick, right?
They don't look right. Sometimes you want to wet the
surface before you apply them. It's a wet application versus
dry application. It prevents them from wrinkling
up. But then when you go to squeegee
some of the color starts coming off, I'm just looking, I'm like fuck man, these are shit. And it is, I would rather save
face with your customer. Don't even think about him as a
friend, think about him as a customer if you can't deliver your best. And you know what, your best is,
then you shouldn't deliver at all.
So in that case, I feel like that situation, you should have said, hey, you know, my bad, I dropped the ball, can't guarantee you, I can get them to you.
I can guarantee you that the person I typically use is not going to be able to turn around optionally.
I can make it myself with a not going to be as good.
You may want to go with your other.
Option, if it's going to be a better option for you.
So, in the end, you know, he's still got his money, but I got to ship product. And so, the parallel between
those two situations is, okay, you have this weird thing at Popeye's like you're not paying attention to what's going on in front of you, you're comfortable enough with a complete, stranger to call the previous customer, and asshole, on top of offering them, a bag for their drinks. And then this person you're not
paying attention to whether they walked in with a group or the walking by themselves and plus they ordered enough food Like so if I ordered one meal you don't know if it's for here to go if you don't ask but if I order a bunch of food and it's just me it's obviously to go. So I guess my point all that is
to kind of think about your interactions whether you're on the consumer side or you're on the corporate side company side, small business side, also, it's just it's unreal, right?
It's unreal. Before we get into some car news
kind of want to talk about my weekly show with my good friend was tankersley you know obviously we do one drink Wednesday some people there's people who join that that probably do not listen to my podcast.
Probably don't listen to West as podcast but they look forward to that interaction with us and watching us watching our Dynamic every Wednesday on Instagram Live this week.
We kind of this last week we talked about perception versus reality. And I have a clip up on my
Instagram, perception versus reality somewhere.
But the perception versus reality is kind of a, you know, there's the whole fake it till you make it.
There's also dressed for success and you'll be successful but somewhere in the middle is effort, somewhere, in the middle is reality. So, the perception is, this is a
great sounding podcast. I have Financial supporters, a
love you all for. Thank you so much for believing
in me when I post up on social media, when I post a Clips, when you see, who some of my guests are because I don't chase - celebrity guests. Like lot of people's podcasts
depend on the interaction with other people.
They think that if I get a big name, my podcast is going to blow up that's not true at all and any podcaster will tell you that that's definitely not true. So then you have to make sure
whatever it is you're doing. So for me it's this podcast, you
guys want to make sure it's on the side.
I've picked up a few really small accounts.
But for me this podcast, you have to enjoy what it is.
You're doing. I enjoy doing this.
I look forward to gives me something to do every week.
Not that I need any thing to do, but it gives me something to do but then it's kind of like between this in the YouTube.
I really want to grow the YouTube really want to do the content. It's time for me to start
Outsourcing. But the perception is I'm
killing it. The reality is I have a
full-time job and without that full-time job, I couldn't survive doing just the podcast. And obviously, the YouTube, I
don't even have 1000 Subs. You have to have 1000 Subs 4000
viewing hours, and you have to have good content.
Not saying I don't have good content, but I'm just saying, I don't mean either first two criteria.
So number three doesn't even matter at this point.
But I would like to, as anybody in this case, you know, you want to get to a point where your hobby doesn't necessarily become work, but becomes something that not only is something you enjoy doing, but you might be able to make a little bit extra money off of it. So I take those funds that I get
from podcasting and I use them on things.
So my wife doesn't yell at me at when I use our money for things that she doesn't feel like I should.
So, do I need new Wheels? No, I don't really use my
podcast money for that. I get an allowance.
But the reality is it's not all like it's not it's not a perfect world. So for those of you who are
loyal to the show, the show is not going anywhere.
But tells people about tell a friend, tell someone, hey, you should check out this podcast. One hard parking.
It's just freaking awesome, yasu.
I know you're listening in Japan.
You need to get more Japan. Lister's on here I will send you
some. I will pay the money and I will
send you actually. I'm going to send you a shirt.
When you listen to this, send me your mailing address because I know you will listen to this. I'm going to give you a heart
parking shirt. Make sure you give me your size.
Maybe I'll send you a few shirts, maybe you can throw them at thrown people. Send you some stickers and paint
Japan. Like Kill you in Japan.
If you put a sticker up somewhere, hopefully not.
But there's some things guys. Here's what I want to do with
this studio. It's time to get on YouTube.
I have a YouTube channel, but it's time to record these sessions. Although, I am not good with
that recorder on the camera along, but eventually I'll get used to it. And it's like, the camera isn't
on, but that's the next thing. So, when I have a guest sitting
in front of me in the studio, Because the way the studio set up, some of you have seen this, it's nice.
It's not the best, but it's definitely not the worse.
And I feel like, I'm one or two, small things away from taking this studio, this podcast, to the next level.
And for all of you who are with me right now, you'll be able to sit back and be like I was a part of that.
I was an active listener to that because the listening is just as important, let me, let me rephrase that listening on a regular basis. And spreading the word is more
important than even the financial contributions.
Which I love. I make good money when I have a
job. And so, I can afford some of
these things, even if I didn't have any Financial backers, but the financial backers are the people who whether it's a company sponsor, Like right, Honda and right Toyota or pail Construction. You know, be cows and you'll
hear all that in the end. But If someone's paying to
advertise on my show, if someone's paying to support the show, they're my commitment to you to them is to get content out. And this is real, and a lot of
times like I this this show I used to talk about more personal stuff in life, more life lessons, more stuff going on around the house. By the way, to the baby shower
that we had that fucking Cafe window.
The my wife wanted that I went with but we did not need.
It was a very expensive window. It goes from the kitchen to
outside with a big tri-fold window.
Like, you would have at a bar that thing was a hit that thing is awesome. I never said, it wasn't awesome.
I just said we didn't need it. Because I'm still waiting for my
driveway, but anyway, a lot of that stuff actually goes to the patrons and I'm not trying to push people, listen to this to pay for the for that content. But what I realize is last month
and a half, and that's not going to change.
I'm not going to change what I give them.
But a lot of those things that I talked to them about, I used to have on the podcast. So you guys have to let me know,
especially as we get closer to the end of the year.
I'm going to still try to put on an episode.
Every week as I have done every single week this year, whether I was traveling or not, like let's say I was going out of town Thursday through Sunday, Thursday through Monday.
I would make sure I have everything recorded by that Wednesday so that I could take it on the road with me, probably drives my wife crazy, but I will edit this shit in the airplane.
I will edit it at night when I'm on vacation to make sure I get it. For all of you to make sure you
have something to listen to on Monday morning.
Now, the biggest mistake I've made enough, I've continued to make and I will no longer continue to make Thanksgiving bonus episodes, no one listens to them.
If I put on episode this Thanksgiving no one's going to listen to it. If Monday is a holiday, like,
Memorial Day Labor Day? No one's going to listen to it.
I gotta push it out on a Tuesday and that gives me that extra day. But I do all that for you guys,
so the perception is we're killing it.
The reality is, we need more people listening to this show especially now that we have a web page.
I drive around my car is both, my vehicles are ads for this show. They both have a big hard
parking pod.com on them. It's going to store on there,
it's got everything you want. So everything that I say on
here, like if you want to shirt, you don't have to go, you don't have to email me. Her pocket park, has a
gmail.com, just go to hard, parking pod.com and everything
you would typically want is there.
Coming up car news in article, pulled up by CBS News.
So, this is an article within an article, but the article shift to electric cars happening too slowly, to avoid climate catastrophe. The report finds this articles
by Irina. Ivanova, on CBS news, I got just
said, but this is according to a report released by a Greenpeace this week, scientists A phasing out, gas and Diesel.
Powered cars is imperative For there to be any hope of avoiding the worst effects of global warming.
Take a side note here, we've been talking about global warming since the 80s. I remember that was like the big
thing that was even before this is your brain on drugs campaign, the War on Drugs campaign. And I didn't hear about it for
30 years, 35 years, but it seems to be a thing now.
And now they say, they were actually seeing the effects of global warming. And I have one of those weird
attitudes about it, where things seem to be okay for me now.
Hundreds of years, thousands, of years, millions of years from now, when the Earth has gone to complete shit, I will be Way Gone. But it's not like I don't care
about our environment I do. But how much effort should we
really be putting into preserving certain things?
Like some things are just unavoidable, we know, through science, the life cycle of a planet.
We know a life cycle of a star, we know that eventually the sun will swell up and absorb the Earth if the Earth is perfect from now until that happens millions of years from now.
So climate change and I saying it's not real it Israel, but it's one of those deals. It's like we have so much going
on on our planet right now. There's like where is a It's a
cute thing to care about, but what is the impact to our everyday lives? I know again.
I know I sound Reckless. You know, we have pollution in
the ocean that are killing marine life to me.
That is more important. Let's get all that plastic shit
out of here. But if the Glaciers are melting
and they're changing, Our everyday climate that's just that's natural. That's going to happen.
Regardless of what we do or we are roading.
Our ozone layer maybe or maybe it was going to happen anyway.
Again not trying to try not trying to sound careless here, but you have to kind of look at it.
Like that in a certain sense, fossil fuels are bad.
Sure. Then what else are we going to
use? So, with all that being said,
and there's some good points in this as I was reading.
Well, don't tell me about the climate, we're really quick.
I'm going to tell you about the climate Accord.
In this research is calculated. How many new gas goes?
Our gas colors, Humanity can afford to put on the roads assuming that global temperatures are on a track on track to rise one and a half degrees Celsius.
Above pre-industrial levels, keeping Global heating below that level is essential to avoid catastrophic effects, including runaway, ice, melt and sea level, rise, scientists a right?
So again going back. The ice is going to melt just
changing. Actually this was a hot summer
but here in Arizona it wasn't, it wasn't the record Summer like last year was really freaking hot.
The issue. We've got a lot of rain.
I know earlier this year, I'm related to this will talk a Agriculture and you could look it up.
I don't have the numbers in front of me but I remember hearing about and reading about it, A bunch of head of cattle, just collapsed and died over a span of maybe two weeks, all throughout the Midwest and that is directly related to climate change the climate. It was hotter and drier than it
had ever been. And it's not to say that the
farmers aren't prepared for this is what they do, but it must have been that much of a change. Thousands of had a cattle.
Died. That's crazy.
So again, I'm not saying it's not a real thing.
So going back to this report, the report closely, analyzed the state of electrification plans for for our makers that make a 40% of the world's cars, which is GM hunting slash key at Toyota and Volkswagen group. Those are the four big ones
globally. Two of them is set days to
eliminate fossil fuel cars by 2035, which GM and Kia by 2045.
Here's the problem. And again, this is projections
projections. I love sports.
We project who's going to win the odds but they still have to play the game. Things can still change.
So projections, only mean so much if there's an asteroid coming to Earth and the scientists project it's going to hit us in two weeks and it will be a life-destroying event.
Probably should take that serious if you're projecting, what's going to happen with our climate.
The next 50, to 100 to 200 years, it's hard to get people to buy in because there's so much shit going on right now.
Now. So, there's a thing called the
combustion engine bubble cards that could be produced, but not sold. As a result would leave
carmakers with millions of vehicles that consumers don't want and the companies can't offload.
Car makers face considerable business and financial risks ranging from loss of market share to all new to all-electric entrance to stranded assets. Reports said noting that
potential losses could top could top two trillion globally, but here's the part that I think is important in to me if you just sit back and think about it. We can all go out by V's today.
This is not going to change what I'm about to say.
This report highlights it some some forgotten aspects of the EV transition. So, according to this report,
some of the Forgotten aspects of the EV transition conclude, things like gas burning cars. Will continue to be driven on
roads and highways for years. After the last one rolls off the
assembly line makes sense, right, with the average age of a new car. Now, over 12 years, that means,
even if automakers Electrify the Next few decades, there would still be a carbon emitting cars on the road.
Well past the middle of this Century.
That's the reality. That's the unavoidable part.
What are you going to do with all the cars are out there?
Now we stop selling internal combustion vehicles on 2035 which is not going to happen. Obviously the whole point of
this is that we're way behind schedule.
This is these articles. You can't buy a new vehicle in
2035. That's internal combustion is
going to be easy. Okay?
We have 100 years worth of vehicles and there's still some out there granted, you see em. And they look like damn near
Stagecoach cars early, 19th century cars but they're still out there, they still need gas. Cars today are out there, still
need gas. I sold my NSX.
Well, one of the reasons why I wanted to type as obviously, but the writing to me was on the wall.
Because at some point you can only you're only going to be taking your only going to be able to take these cars to car shows on special use cases. But you can't just shut off all
the pumps to gasoline the infrastructure doesn't exist.
There's so much money is going to be lost.
People are just going to people at the top that make those decisions are going to come up missing.
Just like in the movies, there's so much truth.
All that stuff, Elon Musk finally invents.
A molecule finally, finally invents something where every vehicle tomorrow can be switched over to this new energy.
He'll show up dead. That's how this works so much
money. So I'll read this.
And I quote regarding vehicles, that will be way past the middle of the century still carbon emitting vehicles.
That reality has led some countries in the stage to get more ambitious goals for phasing out gas cars.
UK, aims to stop selling new fossil fuel cars by 2030.
And California has pledged to do so by 20. 35, which we all know
in the United States because everyone just oh, what are we gonna do? Screw?
Callie. And like, that's 2035, do the
math. That's a long time from now.
Greenpeace is calling on car makers to follow suit and ditch, the gas burning engine by the end of the decade.
So that's 20, 30 car, companies need to stop selling diesel and Patrol Vehicles, including hybrids.
No. Now you're fuck 1 minus X by
2030. So the latest so Greenpeace is
Stefan. So this is going to be one of
these things. These reports I get it, these
are projections, but again this goes you you can go all the way back to the beginning of this whole conversation. if you stop
selling these vehicles, then what We've every day.
It seems like a new EV is coming out and I'm for the EVS, but I don't see ev gas stations that sounds funny.
I don't see ev energy, stations recharge stations popping up everywhere. I don't see him, I'm sure
they're there, but I don't see him.
And one thing that we do know, And the in the information is always out there. If there's 20 recharge stations,
maybe 15 of them work. And if you can find those 15, 12
or 13 of them. Have people sitting there
charging their vehicles. Sometimes overnight, My wife has
a friend that has a Tesla and she lives in an apartment complex. She charges her Tesla across the
street at a fries, all night, all night.
So there's not even limits like you parked there and you recharge until you're full and then you leave that station is probably going to show up on somebody's map.
I know Tesla has their own software to find the nearest charge in supercharged locations.
Ford has one as well. There's probably a generic when
it finds any of them. There's probably a nap out there
that exists. But that's the problem and
that's just one recharge spot. Any of you listening?
This can go outside and go to one of probably, you probably know 20 gas stations in your area.
When's the last time you rolled by a gas station, there wasn't even one car there. There's always at least one car
there. If it's open, unless you're just
the middle of each Jesus. If you're in the city or the
suburbs, there's always at least one car there.
Most times there's multiple cars there and if it's during rush, if it's morning, Or afternoon when people are coming home, there's multiple cars, cars waiting think about Costco.
I've never bought Costco gas. The line is too freaking long.
So yeah, we'll continue to keep an eye on that electrification news. So as promised in other news,
we're going to talk about the 2023 Civic Type R, which I have not seen one in person. Actually I have seen Wonders on
the back of a trailer but and take pictures of it out of respect, but according to this article by car scoops.
The first dyno, test shows a 2023 Civic.
Type R makes more power than Honda says they do.
This is Sebastian Bell November 10th, you wrote this According to the tune of the vehicle. Makes three hundred.
Twenty seven point three horsepower and 350. 9.5 3, ft
torque. Like that's When your torque
exceeds your horsepower. Your vehicle is going to get off
the line. Quick, those figures are rather
flattering to the ones quarter by Honda, which says the vehicle is at 3:15. So 327 versus 315.
It doesn't sound like it's a lot, but it's you notice, it's like putting on a cold air intake or something, or a new exhaust and reach meaning the engine.
And also says it only has 310 pounds of torque versus the 359 reported by the tuner. I'm seeing buzz on this thing
everywhere I was taught about reaching out to Ryan eversley.
If you guys Want let me know and I can try to reach out to him and see if he'll talk about it. I know he and Hunter Pro.
Jason were, I think, in Sonoma in there, a road testing this, they could to do all the cool stuff.
I don't get to do stuff like that.
I haven't made it yet, but people are loving it.
Some people, most people are loving it.
It's wider than the original one where I say, original is wider than the standard Civic and it's popping up all over Instagram, everyone saying that. How much they loved it, they
loved the platform. It's going to be the next
performance vehicle that everyone has.
As far as I don't know, I want to call entry level performance.
It's not really. I mean, this thing's 40s don't
thousand dollars. I think 43 is MSRP on it before.
People tack on 20 to 30, mark up for it.
At least. But people are excited about it,
it'll be interesting to see them all over the place once that happens. But then, you know what happens?
You look up and oh, there's another Civic Type R, the FK 8, which is the previous version. Looks, I've never been a big fan
of them visually, but I know they're tremendous cars.
If you guys saw the video that I made a year or two ago and Tyson here, you threw me the keys to his what wasn't his, it blown the Honda but he let me come over and borrow it and I drove it around for a few hours in film a video.
And got my thoughts on it. I mean, the thing was it
shifted? It was a butter smooth like that
thing was nice. Need a little more umph, no more
noise. Sounds funny coming from a guy
who drives a hybrid NSX. Which noise wise doesn't even
compare to my old car, in any way, shape, or form.
But to be fair, you old car had like every mod.
You can pretty much get a lot louder.
Didn't have to get, didn't have to get Emissions on it, but I'm looking for it. I don't know.
What are you guys? What do you guys think?
Tell me what you think about the Civic Type.
R just initially, I'm not going to buy one the next vehicle.
We get is something that Yvette wants to think about replacing her, howdy So it's not like AJ, you're going to get one, you get the entire. You can get the Civic.
No, I'm not going to get one, I appreciate them.
I think they're cool. But I can only tell you so much
about it and I'm a talking head. This is what I do is, is cars,
right? When I decide to talk about
cars, But if I thought it was the most awful thing on the planet, I'm not going to go online and tell you that.
I'm just going to be like it's not for me.
It's a cool car. Whether it's for me or not,
doesn't matter because I'm not really in the market for it.
And that is the car news. So I've gone down this.
I don't know if you guys are familiar with project Farm, which is a YouTube page but it's like a big rabbit hole and it's such an ad it's an addicting page.
So anyway, the guy does a bunch of reviews on a bunch of different things and come and put them all up head-to-head.
I recently watch one on air filters engineer filters because You know, we always hear about KN, right?
Like an inn is king. So usually, when I buy a car, I
was go out and like, all right, want to spend the money on the K&N air filter, then you go out and you buy one and watching this guy's video. The K&N air filter is the best
for performance as far as racing 0 to 60 times but it's one of the worst if not it's actually the worst as far as keeping particles out of your engine. So the best to keep particles
out of your engine is a pure later which cost a fraction of the price. Why?
So I ended up buying two pure laters or shot a bunch of video on it uploaded. I think I'm going to try one of
those YouTube things but I'm also going to make it a real click was a YouTube shorts and also make it a real and then maybe do a video on my findings of it but it's project Farm.
Check them out. They don't pay obviously for
anything with this podcast, nice to get on their level at some point. But it's one of those things
where it's like, our whole life. We always get what's being
advertised what's popular without actually looking at the data. It's crazy.
But it also so makes me think about our house because in our house I woke up this morning and I had an error on my phone, a notification from my nest and it says your heater start and stopped an unusual amount of times.
When a certain length of time, I'm like, okay this I've seen that before and I need to call my HVAC people to come check it.
Look at it and I started thinking about that test and then I turned on the home air filter because I didn't want home enough air filters to because we use Merve Merve like 13 or 14, whatever the best air filter you can buy because my mother-in-law has crazy. Allergies everyone in this house
except for me, why even I have Now.
So you want to get the one that filters out like the best.
But what happens is it's the same thing.
With the pure later in the Cayenne decaying in allows for more airflow, it leads in the air flow, which makes a lot of sense, because your engine needs more air to perform better, which is why it's the best as far as 0 to 60 times.
And it says, why it lets more particles in?
Because there's a certain level of restriction.
It's the same thing with the home filter.
So I started thinking, well, maybe these Merv 1314 filters are just waiting. A too restrictive because I
notice when I installed them one time, I was underneath the vents, we have these, those giant 25 by 30 by one and we're just three of them upstairs. I noticed that when I install
them and the air condition comes on or just say, or just the fan comes on and it sucks the air, I'm like, man, that thing's working really hard. And now, I know why it's working
really hard because these Merv filters is Merv, 1314 filters, whatever we have. There's so tightly wound.
They restrict airflow and I wonder if that's what's going on with our heater in the house. So I may have to kick it down
Merv 8 or 10, which is kind of counterintuitive because now I'm like, kind of playing with other people in the house to see how bad it affects them at the expense of right there at the at the cost of testing to find out if that's better for the overall air flow of the house because in theory, it's the same deal, right? Engine air filter, cabin, air
filter, Homer filter. We're all sucking in and
spitting out here. R.
So I can do you guys know what's up with that?
But yeah, check them out, man, project Farm.

Original notes
ep147.
Jhae encounters an odd customer service experience ordering food, and as equally of an odd experience getting an order fulfilled by a local small business.
The 2023 Honda Civic Type R has started showing up at dealerships. According to a Car Scoops article, California based tuner Hondata has come up with different dyno numbers than what Honda has been publishing. Will the world arrive at the mass EV era or will everything be significantly delayed as globally the infrastructure does not exist to full support a world full of nothing but electric vehicles. What will happen to vehicles that rely on gasoline?
