Let's Talkcarsradio dot com. Now here's the host of Let's Talk Cars Radio,
Dave Polage. Happy Saturday, America. You're listening Let's Talk Cars Radio on
w QQA Freedom Radio. I'm your host, Big DAVP hanging out with Camera
Chaos and NVB. Hey guys, it is Saturday. The sun is shining
here, uh for now? Anyway, I guess you could say right now,
for now? Like I said, I keep on everybody. It's funny.
We'll do a show and somebody will send me like something like rappick off the show. They're like, ah, and you enjoy your sunshine. It's
not shining here. And I'm like, I can't cover every single place that
listens Yeah, it's still a little windy out there. I heard the chimes
are going this morning. But nevertheless, it's a Saturday. It's a great
day to hang out with us. I can say it's a great day for
a car show, but I know most of the weather around the country, that's not the case unless you're someplace where it's nice and warm. But if
you are, hey, enjoy it because here it's still a little cold.
It's been been cold all this week. I had, you know, ice
again on a on the windows in the morning. You can see all the
ice over everything across the backfield and cool as long as you want to be out in it when it comes and it's all across that grass and everything, and you you go out walk and it has that little bit of a crunch, And I said, I love sitting in my car with old weather waiting for it to heat up. Met says, I'm lucky with my auto start.
Yeah, starting your car, no, because it's a manual. Oh
that's right, you don't know you can put it in. I can get
it. Yeah. I was gonna say, as new as your car,
I don't think it had auto store, but yeah, guess not so.
Guys here's something somebody sent me. This story. I want to start off
with it today. It's a little strange to me. I know we talked
about different things over there, very close to this and stuff. But you
know, I highly believe that, like your car tells a story about you, right, Like if I'm walking through a parking lot and I see certain cars as let's say you're at the grocery store and you're walking through the parking lot to go in the grocery store, and you having to look left, look right, you see a bunch of different cars and different things done to them, and to a certain degree, you can kind of figure out, like what kind of person drives that car? All right? Which, fine,
whatever. Personalize your car. I'm all about it. Like I'm you,
guys, I'm a car person, so I want you to personalize your car. I mean mine's personalized. I mean I think it fits my personality.
But then you get into if you guys remember way I'm stay way back.
But it's been We did bumper bullies a lot back in the in the early years of this show. And if you guys don't know, bumper bullies
were there. We used to do all the different bumper stickers and stuff we
see around town. People send them to me and I hadn't done it in
a while, and everybody's like, oh, you guys need to get back to doing that stuff. The problem with it was people were, you know,
everybody would send us the stickers and then we would read them. But
I started getting so many duplicates are the same ones I've seen that it was kind of hard to weed through and find. And then some of them,
Yeah, that a lot of them I couldn't read on their but it was hard to. Like I said, it's kind of hard to go through and
find the ones that weren't like duplicates over and over and over again, believe or not that quickly from week to week. But the thing about it was
is I believe that bumper stickers tell a lot about somebody. I'm not a
big bumper sticker person. I just don't like putting bumper stickers on my car.
I just I don't know, for lack of saying, I think it's tacky, but maybe it's not tacky, and if to teach his own, but for me, I'm just not putting bumper stickers on my car. And
then I see people have like a million on their car, and of course I read them. I'm not gonna say I don't if I might a stop
light and I'm looking down. I read every single one you put on your
car, so you it served its purpose. You got my attention. But
there's a story that got sent over to me this week about a mom who got banned from taking her kid to school like the parent drive through ling.
I guess because of the bumper stickers that she had on her car. And
I'm like, are we that, Like, I know we talked about this before, like if it offends you, then just be offended and look away, like just look away. But no, we have to make a big
deal to the school about what a mom has on her car so she can't go through the parent pick up and drop offline. I mean're like, how
is that what we've come to? What's come to with like all of us,
Like what Nathani and I were talking before, what happened to becoming when when you were offended you were just offended and you just that was just what it was, okay, you know you didn't make you know, well that offends me and you move on with your day. No, no, no,
no more I am offended, and I'm dialing anybody and everybody that I can. Everybody has to know everybody. Everybody has to know that I'm offended,
and they'll make sure it goes on social media. So I just so,
here's the thing. The sticker that she had on her car is an
only fan sticker promoting her only fans page. I guess now, I don't
know what she does on only fans. Education. It could be education,
could be anything. You know, probably not the case, but hey,
it could be anything. Right. Look, if somebody want to pay you
money to look at your feet, so be it, you know what I mean. Like, I don't really care. But apparently parents were offended and
they decided to contact the school. Now you know, there was one Nancy
Negative, you know, that decided to roll up a bunch of parents over this. It wasn't like every parent was in the line looking at the sticker
going oh my god. You know, some parents are like, well,
let me look it up and see what's going on here. You know,
you see that, Becky. I just you know, it was one person
who routed somebody up and al sudden, now it's like they said, it doesn't go with the values of their school. And look what I do in
my time away from here, it's not even it's not even the student, it's the parent. Like whatever that parent does on their own, what does
that have to do with the school. Somebody can fill me in how this
works out, Like, I just don't get it. Are we at this
point any time? Is that discrimination? I don't know. I can just
tell you that if this was a different incident and something else was on the car, who people would be all over the place on it. But you
know what I mean, just like they were saying, you know, like bumper stickers do tell everything. You know. It was just like how we
were talking about you can tell if people have kids or if they have any pets just because of those little remember those family stickers that everybody used to put on the pod that used to tell a whole story right there, Oh they have four kids or they have And we talked about that. I don't remember,
no, yeah, where like you might not want to put that on your yeah where you don't want to put that in the car because people could actually look at that and figure out like how many kids you have and could rob your house. I think we were talking about, Yeah, Yeah,
there was a whole share thing, the whole share thing. Yeah, but
other stickers, I mean, the only Fans sticker, I don't I don't think that should be banned from school parking lots. I mean, I'll be
the first one to tell you that everybody promotes that. I'm a little I'm
a little I'm a little naive on Only Fans. I mean, I kind
of got the basic concept of what it is. I understand people do some
pretty crazy things on there, but I don't know what was the purpose of only Fans. Just to share whatever content you want to I guess is what
it was, right, It wasn't just obviously, you know, everybody knows it's in the news all over the lace. Let's not be naive and say
there's a lot of porn on there, obviously. But I'm just saying,
you know, I think the idea of it originally was to share whatever content.
So I know there's learning content stuff like that I think on there as well. Somebody told me, so there's everything, But we banned somebody like
you can't go through the parent pick up because they got a stick around their vehicle. Look the other way, look like, look the other way.
I don't know, do something else, like who cares? Like you guys
remember this one. I think we've talked about this on the the guy that
had I eat ass on the back of his window and remember a huge across the whole back window of the truck. Right, funny to some people,
offensive to others. Right now, I would I would have laughed. I
would have left. I just would have laughed. Still made him scrap it
off. Well, yeah, and he won that lawsuit though I think that
he had. They had buying him another truckle the amount of money they had
to pay him. But like I said, funny maybe not funny me.
I looked at it and went, you know what I mean now? Is
it something to put on my vehicle? No, of course not. I
wouldn't. I wouldn't drive around. But I would have chuckled and it just
went about my day. Or if it was something let's just say it did
offend me, I'd be like, huh, what an idiot for putting that on their vehicle and went about my day. No, I'm not calling.
We're gonna storm the principal's office at school and make a big, huge, a lot of it. I just I don't know, man, I just
think it's weird that that's what like we're coming to. Are we raising up?
Maybe we already raised apparently just a bunch of like just idiots, people who just have nothing better do with it. I got a lot better things
to do with my time to go in storm or school and talk about somebody's sticker on their car. I mean, I could think of a lot of
other things better I could be doing. But Nope, that's a good deed
for today. Isn't a good deed like it was my good deed. I
went and told on somebody. You were the hall monitor. Let's be honest.
You were the hall monitor at school. You're the one handing out citations
for spending too much time in the bathroom. That's what you were. I'm
just people like that just drive me nuts. I don't know what is I
got that deep down? Can you tell? Yeah, I guess you guys
can hear my boys, I got a deep down hatred for people like that.
I just do just I don't know what it is about people who just are little snitches get stitches kind of type of people that go and tell on people the dumbest stuff. I just think of all the energy that you could
have took would have been positive energy doing something else I don't know, like helping the homeless. You know, we're going to hang out sex as salaried
all the kids at the school. You could have put your energy into that
could make a nice little veggie trade for somebody. I don't know. She
saved someone's eyes to that day, someone's eyes. I think that when it
comes to whatever you put on your car, you can do whatever you want and if people don't like it, too bad. It's just like we talked
about the license plates right like they're going recalling all these different license plates now.
I had one that was probably offensive to people a time in my life.
I thought it was funny. I've had a couple. But if you
read it, Cameron has one right now that could that could be considered offensive to people. I don't think that one's offensive. It could be to people,
though, I don't think my license plate is necessarily offensive. I think,
okay, I guess it's just like the bumper sticker thing. I think
it's funny, you know. I think it's funny too. My license plate
is bleep, it be l E E P I T and it just means like, you know what it is. Insert words here, insert any word
you want, and I'm on a radio station, and the word the sound that we use if we ever need to hit the red button and somebody and if Curtis would happened to hit say a bad word like he used to you all the time. It just fits me. And I've gotten comments on it
where people say they like it, but I've also gotten the looks of where like you could tell me, yeah, I watched that you ever you ever sit in traffic and watch the people behind you and like you realize that they're like discussing you. Yeah, you know what I mean. Can you believe
this guy? He like, you didn't let me over? So I went
ahead and just came over anyway and made you let me come over. And
then I know when I look at you, You're sitting there with a passion in your car discussing me, and I'm like, well, I turned my blinker on for you know, half a mile indicating and I wanted to get over, and you kept on riding writing my blind spot and keep me from coming over. So then I finally just came over. I mean, at
some point the lane ends, I got a over. You can't just keep
on blocking. That's why I like my license plate so much, because if
I have to do that and they're so mad and they're so aggravated, they're like I'm going up. Oh, I'm so calm. Now that's all place.
I don't know, Like I said, it's just like, uh, you know, I told you guys the technology range. Like if you guys
seen they have the thing now you put up in the back window and like you can like actually, I guess you could talk to it and it'll put it'll put things on the back window for people to read. You can do
custom text off your phone, and you can push buttons you'll do there's one where you can talk to it though, because that way you don't have to type. Yeah, and they also now have the one like you can do
a handwave or midgu So with technology change, and we talked about how they're integrating stuff into the windows, I think that that would be one of the things where you can talk to the people behind you. Isn't everything they're automotive
distracting to a certain case. Yeah, yeah, look, there's one thing
I'll take us just on a side note real quick, I don't know how the rolling billboards on cars are supposed to be right because you're distracted by trying to look at it. I never thought about that behind it, Like it's
just a giant billboard on wheel. You can't get away from it. You
know, it's Await did you just ride behind one recently? I'm like,
yeah, tell, he mustn't just rolled behind on You couldn't get away from the advertisement. It was forced you kept not trying to look over to see
what the next one was gonna roll over to. Yeah, so that's distracting.
Distracted driving is isn't a joke, obviously it's not. I mean,
like, but for instance, in the in the Mustang, in your car, I think that your display, for the fact that a lot of things are touch button on your screen is distracting because instead of just driving me hitting a switch to activate something, I gotta literally take my eyes off the wheel to look at that screen to find to put my placement my finger in the right place to touch whatever I need to. I think that's distracted. Then.
I often think that's them trying to promote the feature of using your hands free buttons. I mean they're not in his car, It's not because I
mean there's a lot of handscreen. I mean you can look at all the
newer cars, right the Mustang, the Toyota. The charger is another one
of the chargers, another one that you got to touch stuff on the screen.
You got to look at it now, have like twenty different buttons on it, and they're trying to still distracted. It's distracted, but just trying
to make it. I'm just trying to make an example of the fact that
I think there's a lot of stuff that are distracting that they don't. They
talk about distracted driving, but you know, if you got fifty million buttons you got to push in the car to drive the car, that's then that's distracting, right, I mean that's but then you have to look down to push a button at least this time, you know, you're kind of head, you know, head level with the you know screen. I couldn't do
your car. I can tell you right now. I couldn't do your car
because there's too many things that you have to touch on the screen and you got to look for perfect finger placement to get on that button on that screen.
Why you're trying to drive it on the road. I don't like,
well, you're at your climate control. All that stuff's all on your on
your screen. I mean it's one button. But if you're trying to like
change to like to blow on your face or your feet or all that kind of stuff, that's all distracting, you've got to find those buttons on that screen to push it. Versus in a regular car, they're all just kind
of right there, and they're little clicks. Hey, guys, hold on,
I got it. We'll jump more into this. I gotta take a

You're automotive specialist. Now back to your host Dave Polach. Hey, guys,
welcome back. So in the first second we were talking about things people
put on their cars, and is it really offensive or it isn't offensive?
And then is it you know, is that considered distracted driving if you're reading things on people's cars, or we got into distractions inside the car, so this is spiraled everywhere distract How about that? I was just so you're saying
you don't like the buttons in the car, you don't like how everything's touched right now, I don't. I think it's cool. I mean, like,
I think it's neat. But I have ridden a couple of cars now
and then even in the camera I don't know, Don's camray things are push button on things on stuff like that too, but not nearly as much as some of the other cars, like really put everything on it. You dried
on the road and you hit a bump on the road and your finger goes up as you're trying to hit the button, and you're like, miss yeah, missed it. You know what I mean? I just if we changed
voice activation, we're gonna go all right. And I was just about to
say that, no, it is not. We have had voice activation in
the vehicles for a couple of years, but not like it still not like that. It's still not there. Like, and I know we keep talking
about Nate, I can't recognize anything. I say, you're right, and
I know we keep talking about Nate's Mustang and everything. But that's a bad
person. Yeah, it's just a good example of voice activation. How many
times do you have to say hey, Ford just to get it to go hello? You know, it's pretty responsive. So my Chevy truck, I
think I can hit the button and try to talk to it, and it's like, did you want I'm like, no, I don't want oranges.
I'm like, I think ask directions someplace, and it starts telling me all different kinds of things, different than what I as. More, as we
advance into the self driving technology and the hands free is going to be a different definition in a couple of years. Hold that I posed a question.
You weren't paying attention because you're dam I posted a question to Nathaniel before U before we started this show, and I said, could you imagine a world without Tesla? Now, we use Tesla as the gauging point for everything technology
in cars really, because that's just whatever, that's it's the household name.
It's like saying KLEENICX or Q tip. You know what I mean, it's
like it's that's just a that's a product name, not the actual thing you're using, you know what I mean? Right, So we use Tesla as
the gauging point, but could you imagine, truly imagine a world where Tesla didn't take us. I think Tesla took us so far forward with technology that
where would we be if they didn't search for then everybody else fell in line behind them, you know what I mean, to try almost like a keep up kind of thing. So when you think about technology and cars and stuff
like that, all I think about is how Tesla got is there? Does
that make sense? Yeah, Tenser degree, I think we would have got
there eventually. I think that they pushed to the gates a lot quicker.
I think they, you know, they paved the road for everybody else to you know, move forward and you know, you know, as a collective move forward. Well, Kara Scamera was talking about you know, technology and
cars. That's why I cut them short there for a second. I just
feel like the next new thing is coming, like voice activation, right, it doesn't work very well in cars, but I think I think the voice activations coming out, and like I was going to say, the next thing I think is coming out to the cars, and because we're not going to be touching the steering wheel anymore. And when I say hands free is going
to be a different definition, it is because hands free is now going to not be no no touching the buttons, It's going to be physically hands free.
And that's going to bring into gestures you know, where you can We're already seeing it in Apple Vision Pro that just came out this week. They're
now selecting things on their things with hand gesters. That's going to map Apples
already starting to make a car Apples trying to bring let's take Apple out of that equation. We're now starting to do things where we're able to make gestures.
We're able to now start reading people's eyes cars. That was three years
ago and I was waiting to see where that goes, where the car is constantly on your face, reading your facial expressions. We're still building the technology
and more, yeah, and more, because it's helping us, you know, AI is helping us progress. But I see more of the technology coming
out and I'm like, Okay, if you take this technology, and you take this technology, and you take this technology and you put it all together.
It is what we have talked about three years ago, just them trying to build it up into perfection before where you put it in a car.
There's something else too, I'm trying to remember. So we have AI technology
in cars, and I think that one's called x Z or whatever it is, and that's something where they integrate a new type of technology to look at up. There's AI. There's the six new things, six new popular things
are going to be coming out in cars, they say in like the next couple of years. I think one of them is they have abbreviation. They
have AI, they have x Z, I think, and they have different abbreviations for everything, and then it tells you what that technology is. We
know that the cars scanning out in front of you is huge. We've been
talking about it for a while. When they actually get that perfected, that's
going to change the way that you drive. I mean, it's just literally
going to change the way that you drive. And I think with that change
will also change the way that self driving cars obviously react to everything because scanning way ahead of you and seeing everything and being able to anticipate what's happening in front of you and the car being able to take that knowledge and use it.
I think it will be the next big leap into cars personally, That's what I was thinking. Maybe you know what I mean when you start getting
AI involved in cars and people are like, well, what do you mean by AI? When you get artificial intelligence where the car can actually really truly
start to think and make decisions and all that kind of stuff to better serve you or help you from accidents, that will be the next big push into cars. Because they're already testing that, we're just not seen in cars yet.
It's in the labs where they're testing everything on cars and all that kind of stuff, but we're not seeing it integrate into cars yet. Well,
we've already been able to prove that AI can make faster decisions than a human can with with we have provided it. But if we provided enough information,
it can make faster response decisions than we ever will. We keep talking about
these speed cameras coming right right where they're going to try to do it.
Liked your speed, And we've also talked about like how they're starting to update our infrastructure on the roads and stuff that is for these autonomous vehicles, that is for these AI Vehicles's funny to start providing them information because the big push was for years and this is going back a little ways. Uh, we
were trying to increase speed, right, so we're trying to find a way to increase the speed limit and increase the speed limit, and now we're trying to find a way to decrease speed. I don't think deep having better control
of the car that the car is controlling itself, you can still get to your place faster, efficiency efficiently. Yes, correct decreases the cars making the
cars making the decision maintain. They want every car to maintain speed. And
the reason why they want to maintain maintain speed is so they can do that little traffic thing where all the cars are passing by, because if one person's going faster than what the car needs, everything, Yeah, it messes up the whole algorithm, the whole flow. But if they put limitters in your
car, limit the access of what cars can access what roads, our traffic should fix itself. Well now you become Now that becomes like the HOV lane.
Right, they have an HOV lane, and then they had the electric Uh wasn't there like an electric car lane? They tried out the EVV lane
and stuff like that for just and then that kind of thing that went away really quick, and they tried out just the bust lane. We tried everything.
You're almost trying to do. Like in a car, you're trying to
make it as efficient as a train, is right, That's really what they're trying to do. It's almost like being in a train. Well imagine right,
like when you go somewhere and you have like two different paths you have like the long way or the short way and stuff. The car is always
going to probably choose a short way so you be able to take the long way, because you take anymore, you're out of luck, no more scenic routes. I just find it interesting that everything that is wrapped around car technology
and a lot of most people don't know a lot of people listen to the show don't know because you guys aren't Like I mean, you guys listen to this show, which is great, thank you for listening, but you guys don't follow it or get the information given to us lock I like I do, and like people that are in the car automotive news kind of thing, do we get a lot of stuff throwing it. That's where that we get
to see the technology or things they're working on, and I go, oh, that's cool. It's a conversation piece. And then some of it just
goes away. We never hear about it again. And then some of you
see slowly interact into cars. And I'm starting to see some of the stuff
that I think we talked about two three years ago, they're really starting to make its way into vehicles. Like I said, the one we were talking
about commercials. Okay, so commercials I think are going to make their way
into cars. I just think that they are. People are in their cars
a lot of time. So if you want product placement and stuff like that,
the best way to do it is to have a commercial in your car.
And with everything going to screen technology, they have the ability to beam into your car. When they start doing all the sinking of the cars,
and that technology is already done, they just to figure out wh they're gonna start integrating cars where cars sink and talk to each other. Then it can
sync with the buildings and everything else that around it, and it knows exactly we are. They can start pushing those commercials into your car and you start
getting I mean, now you can probably opt out for it. But here's
the thing. Radios play commercials all the time time, guys. You guys
just listen to one just you know, a couple minutes ago with us.
So when people go that will never have and well, when you start going to everything being on screen and it's on screen technology, the commercials are next.
They just are their next because we're already listening to commercials and radio, and you guys sit and listen to them a lot most of the time.
You won't change the channel to the you know, to the That's a good point. I think how they're gonna apply it. That's how they're gonna have
radio. You have radio, it's already playing commercials, you're and we already
used to it happened. Now it's just gonna be a visual. We've already
seen the technology come out. And I hate to keep referring to Apple,
but they are. They're just like test Hammers on the Apple Kick today.
He read Apple stuff all week long, and now he's all on the Apple Kick reading all this news and like, and I'm looking at the technology that we were just talking about, and like you keep saying two to three years ago and now I'm like, we were asking ourselves who's going to be the main companies that's going to be in this, you know, And it's just surprising that again Apples on it and but Apples just like Tesla, and I think they're going to start getting into the car market and bringing out ideas.
But I was just talking about I got a prediction hold on Sony will be the next big player cars, Sony. I can see that Sony will be
the next big player in your cars. I'll have to do your research.
Yeah, I have your research because Sony out of they kind of knocked out of the market. They they've been doing a lot of research in the VR
sector. Yeah, just so, and VR is just a whole nother and
things on the TV sector. Yeah, they did. They lost, right,
they did. I mean they did. I mean they gotta kind of
find and you know, console wars are kind of ending, so they really gotta find a new you know. Yeah, they gotta find something new.
But you're gonna be middle ground. You're gonna need a middle ground from your
house to your car. And the only thing that you carry with you twenty
four to seven that is the middle ground for your connection from your house to your car is your phone. Sony is gonna be just like Bo's was in
vehicles. That's what you're gonna see. Bose was everywhere in vehicles. Bo
Sound System made their way into cars. Then you're gonna see Sony make their
way into cars. And you're gonna see Sony everywhere. Hold that thought.
I gotta take quick coruercial break. When I come back, we got some
more for you you soon. You're listening to Dave Palatch on Let's Talk Cars
Radio. Dave, We'll be right back. Okay, guys, it's time

to Let's Talk Cars Radio. You're automotive specialists. Now back to your host
Dave Pulla. Hey, guys, welcome back. Hey, So here's a
topic I want to jump into, just completely changing the tires on this one.
So do you all remember when even go back we've had a conversation, Commercials really played like kind of a big part of everything, Like you just you remember commercials, You remember jingles, you remember all that stuff, right, the crappy ones, even the crappy ones. They're really horrible ones too.
So why does it feel like we've fallen off with like car commercials, things that gets you excited about, like cars? Like why do I think
are still huge to put out a lot of content, you know? And
the reason why I say it like that is like you just don't know what you can say on air. You don't know what you can say on commercials
people. I think I think it's because commercial free for a while, so
you know, everybody was on the rampant rampage of you know, you know, free content and stuff. You know, the faster you can you know,
get the content wise and stuff. But now that everybody is comfortable,
everybody usually uses the service. I think that we're coming more to you know,
they know they can push the commercials and so nobody's really leaving because there's commercials. Well if they do leave, they're not really worried about it because
they now have so many people, you know, and it's just we're seeing a lot more. But I wish I don't see any car commercials like we
used to. I just don't. I mean, I don't see I don't
see car I don't see car commercials I don't see any of it like we used to. So there used to be like so when I was younger,
commercials like car commercials made you want to own a car. I can remember
cars back then, We're a lot seemed to be a lot cooler. We
were talking about that before the show, like you saw a car commercial and then when you saw that car in person. I can remember literally stopping on
the sidewalking when there was a cool car and watching the cool car go by.
There's nothing out there I think that's that cool anymore that put the car to the test. Just ones that made you want to own the car,
Like the car commercial was so cool, You're like, man, that is a badass car, you know what I mean. You don't have that happen
anymore. Like just cars all seem to be kind of the same and everybody
goes, oh, well, you know, the new Corvette makes people stop in their tracks and look at it? Does it get They passed me all
the time in traffic, and I don't like, go, I just go, look it's one of those new Corvettes, you know what I mean, Like that's just what happens. I just don't think that we're focused on any
of that anymore. Well, it's nothing really new in the cars, right,
I mean they kind of all do the same thing, like like we were talking about, you know during commercial, like everybody kind of has this same technology. There's nothing that nobody really doesn't have access to. So it's
kind of hard to like go outside the box unless you're really changing the design of or you know, Corvette used to have a really cool commercial. The
Monte Carlo had a cool commercial, Toyota had cool commercials. Everybody had cool
commercials back the day. Ford had really cool commercials. You know, the
Ford old Ford truck commercials were really like we're crazy, so is Chevy when the Chevy Ford truck wards were going on and all the crazy commercial they did, Like I said, like like a rock you know what I mean, Like I remember that commercial. That's commercials old You gotta think too, right,
It's not there's no really battles going on, right and stuff. Everybody
has kind of like a main focus. It's it's the battle, it's economy
focus and EVIE driven right as everybody's really commercials. You know, everybody's pushing
out their own ev models, cool car commercials. Here's the thing we're not
even really promoting cars, like we used to write, you're not familiar to no. But okay, I'll give you an example. Right, So back
in the day, product placement of cars in the movies was big, Like people like put cars in movies so people would want that car. We're not
even really even doing that. I think ruined it. I think I hate
to say it, but I think like Fast and Furious kind of ruined that stuff because you put you put different so many cars that are cool, and you know, so many different movies, and you just went out and people went out and bought a lot of mister Bishi's. I mean they just did
as different. That's like, you know, that's like you know, first
up and comment, you have a lot of crazy cars in that in that one movie maybe. But here's the thing you just caught hold on. You
had movies that had nothing to do with cars, but the product placement of the car in the movie made people want that car. It had nothing to
do different, right, And you took a common car and stuff you com I mean a cliss and stuff. I mean, I mean it wasn't like
and Fierce again like Rockford Files, okay TV show Rockford Files. I mean,
I'm gonna go way past you, guys. But some of you all
that listen to the show, remember Rockford Files. It had nothing to do
with cars, but they put a Firebird transam. It was actually just a
Firebird, but in rockerfess what the detective drove was that car? You know
what I mean? But and I know that why because it was perfect product
placement for that car. So like you might not know, right, and
so like supernatural and stuff. I watched it for a time and stuff.
I mean you saw you know, Grandma used to watch it right right and stuff. Well they had a I forget what car it was, and so
their car was super popular. I forget what it was. Though I believe
it was a nova and stuff. But I mean they drove but everywhere and
stuff I wanted. I'm pretty sure it was a nova and stuff. I
don't call me if I'm wrong. Well, I'll give you for exam.
People are gonna argument with me on this one, so let me let me fight. You got I know I'm gonna get a bunch of hate on this
one, but let's go ahead and go. Dukes of Hazzard was Dukes of
Hazard really about the car? It wasn't the car made it cool? But
Dukes of Hazzard, I wasn't really about the car. It was just perfect
product place for I don't think they ever thought the car would be kind of the star of the show the way it turned like the following that it has.
I don't think that was really the thought process. They just needed a
cool car that these guys were gonna do things in. Right. It was
a nineteen sixty seven Chevy and Pala which one there was a sixty seven Chevy and pala What for Supernatural driven by Dean Winchester. That car isn't Is that
TV show? Is that? Uh? It's a TV show? Okay?
There was a movie. I can't remember what it was. It was.
There was a movie, is like a supernatural kind of movie. And there's
a car that's in the movie. And I think it's a Chevelle. It's
like a gold Chevelle. And but I remember it because they picked the right
car to be in in that movie, right, Well, they found that car sitting behind a barn somewhere, you know, yeah, and just went up for auctions. What makes think of it? I can't remember any movie
right this second, So I just think that we've gotten away from all that.
Now everybody says, well, how exciting it would be would it be to put a Tesla in a movie? Every being like, oh, there's
a Tesla, you know what I mean? I get it. But there
is certain cars you could grab that are out there that you could put in movies but make people kind of more want one. And they used to do
it cleverly the show. Like I said that, the show never had anything
to do. It was a commercial withinside a movie. You just didn't realize
it. See, we got kind of got away from that. I don't
know. Call me proctalgic. Nostalgic is what it is. Yeah, I
don't know. All right, So we we tend to put a lot of
our car imferensis now on like racings like that. So that's where people,
like in certain groups get excited about cars. But now with F one starting
to become a little bit more popular in the States and stuff, it's not like you're going, it's like you got an F one car, you know what I mean. And it's not like if it's a Chevy or if it's
a Toyota or whatever. It is not like that technology really transfers into your
daily driver. It just doesn't right because it's like Indy okay, so it
should be a big following for Indy still is. Don't be wrong, there's
a lot of Indie fans out there. They seemed to be stronger when I
was a kid. You know, everybody talked about Indy all the time.
But it's not like that product placement of how you did things with Indy made you want to go out and buy something. As far as the two worlds
just don't cross enough. So then you have NASCAR. You drop down a
NASCAR okay, but nascars aren't cars anymore. They're just e race cars,
not really cars. So that you're away from that, then you can go
to what WRC series, which is what your rally cross series right right now, that has a little bit of a following because people that watch WRC tend to go out and buy those type of cars because they're interested in it.
Well, I mean that you know, drive your car through forest and but what I'm just trying to say, you know there's a following for that, right you know, if the following for you can't go out and by an Indie car, you know, following for half one. You can't go out
into that NASCAR You're not. I mean it's not you can't go out really
buy one of those that are exactly off the street anymore. So, like
I said, the closest thing you get to starting to get to is WRC is like at least one of those cars, is it looks like it.
They haven't messed the car up too much. Drifting drifting, you know,
it's you know, starting to grow bigger. So drifting drifting event though,
is everything, you know what I mean? Like, so it's every type
of model, but there's nobody really throwing themselves into it, saying working there like this is gonna be the drifting car of you know, the face of commercials. You know what I'm saying, Like, there's nobody really doing that.
Now, maybe that would work, Maybe that would propel drifting and car models or whatever. I don't know. I just don't think car placement is
really what it is anymore. Maybe I be wrong. I could be wrong.
I mean, here's the thing, what will the future hold for cars?
Rather it be commercials, technology, what what is it going to get to get people excited about cars anymore? When you talk about peoplebout cars,
they're not really exciting. Once again, it's just a transportation something they just
get in they drive. But I can remember in a world when where people
were excited about what they owned, and they talked about it all the time, what they owned. We're not there anymore. You had designers all across
the world designing these crazy cars. Do you think they really care about what
they're what they're creating, though you? Or is it just nowadays? Yeah?
Yeah, they're just they're just creating a car. Yes and no to
a certain degree. I mean I think everybody's kind of, you know,
fallowing the same etch sketch. Do you think that's exactly what is? Everything
looks the same. So that's why I said, I don't think people really
excited about what they're building. If they did, we'd have more like can
you pick a car right this second that's out there that you can go?
Man, I'm really excited about that car? I mean truly, can you
know, Cameron, can you I'm sorry he's always looking up information still on the advert. Can you think of a car right this second that you were
excited about that's out there, that's like you made? That car excites me?
I'd like to really own that one, have to have that one.
Not really kind of just as a point A to point B. Right,
they're all the kind of the same, you know what I mean, they all kind of go the same speed. Well you're stuck to go to the
BMW Mercedes. They all look the same. You know, I can't tell
the difference between a Toyota really, I mean kind of you parked with Toyota, Honda, Honda cars, right, yeah, yeah, like there's nothing you're excited about. Like, So just to hit up on the the advertisement
stuff before we go to commercial break. In twenty nineteen, we spent sixteen
point nine billion dollars on advertisement in the automotive industry. I don't remember of
it. In twenty twenty we went down to thirteen point eight billion, and
twenty twenty one went back down to eleven point seven billion, and twenty twenty two we went to eleven point four billion. So we didn't lose much in
twenty twenty. Well, here's the thing twenty twenty two, and that's because
you know, people started staying at home more. Now we're in twenty twenty
three, twenty twenty four, and we are now going back up. They
project by twenty twenty seven, we will now be at fourteen point six billion dollars, which will put us up another three billion dollars more in two average.
Yeah, you can't. You can't really remember any of the car commercials
that stand out to you. So what does that say? It means step
up your game. On that note, I gotta take quick commercial break.

two three three three one three one Liberty Transmission. Welcome back to Let's Talk
Cars Radio. You're automotive specialist. Now back to your host, Dave Platch.
Hey, guys, welcome back to the show. So here's here's a
little question I got for you guys. You know the maintenance in your car,
right, So, you know, us being car guys, we can tend to keep up with the maintains for the most part. But he's like
some of us that takes care of My man, Camon's got some couple of things he's got to do to his car again. But I find it funny
that, like, even with being a car person, right, Like there's things that I know I need to get to it, and it's like trying to find the time to get to it. So then I started to think
about, like the people that aren't car people, and that's the reason why they have probably so many car problems. Because if I'm a car person and
I know there's things that're supposed to get to and I have hard time getting to them. But imagine the people that aren't car people and how far they
let that go before they get around to doing it. Like I almost missed
my state inspection again. Hey, Kyle, things for beating me up over
it, so I knew I know what needs to be done, right.
I hate forget your state inspection. I hate state inspection not because I think
my cars that were gonna fail. It's just trying to like find the time
to get it in and get it done, and you know, and and and whatnot. But there's like little things like so I had an oil change
done. I haven't had an inspection since twenty twenty. You know you're now
I had. I had an oil change done. And it just seems like
people, for even the automotive people, they tend to forget like all the common things Like I remember, like when you used to getn oil change done, they check everything right, they would just everybody would go through everything, check it all. And I think, like that processing exactly, Like how
did I end up leaving with no washer flues? I hit the washer flute
the other day. They gave me a sprints and then the washer flutelight came
on. I was like, how is it? I just got all that
done and no one ever thought to check that, and you know stuff like that, and everybody's like, well, day, why don't you do your old oil change once again? Time, money, I weigh which one is
more important, and then that's what I go with. But it's not the
truck of the camera, because you're also out of water on the LROYD and the camera too. Man, I don't drive the camera. If it is,
then then I'm shocked because I don't. That's not my car washer flude
in my car for at least four years. I mean, here's the reason
why it's important, because right now with it being cold and the windows frost up and stuff, if you have the right washer fluid in there and he sprayed up, it frost that off real quick for you. And of course
I always keep that kind. So I'm still had to get out there in
my handscrape, but I couldn't find my handscraper anywhere. That's the worst I
got in the truck. I think someone I'm not I'm gonna stare over at
him. I think someone took by accident took my scraper out of the truck
when he was putting things in the truck last time, Cameron. So I
had to just I found the little one, like in my emergency kid aren't eat the seat, and I'm using, I'm like, where's my big one?
With the brush. I can't find it. I think Cameron had something
to do with that. But none in my car. Yeah yeah, you
mean you have mine in your car? No, mine, Yours is like
grayish greenish might be blue, but it might be blue. But I just
think it's funny that, like all the little things when you went and got your car service, all the I can remember them coming to my window, like you know how you used to go through the drive through ones and they come to the like you know, you just sit there and they do it and they come and all the things we right, Like nobody seems to be checking the tire pressure anymore and no one see me. I mean, I
think we need to get back to that. So if you are an autogarage
owner and you're listening to the show, because I know a lot of you guys do, you might want to get back to that, like where you just do everything and check tire pressure, have the guy check all the fluids, I mean, pull the pull all the dipsticks, look at every single thing. I just find it kind of weird that has gone out. I
was talking to some people. Everybody's like, yeah, you know, last
time I went the same thing happened to me. I was like two days
later, I didn't have any watcher fluid. I'm like, I was just
goinda change. And it's funny that you say that, because I was just
thinking this. As much as lift technology has been around, you think they
would put more technology into the lifts. Like so scales that way the the
tractor trailers on the highways, when you drive over those scales, it can measure your tire whip. It can measure your tire right. Why can't we
do that when we drive a car on the lift. If it drives on
the lift, it automatically measures the tire pressure. It automatically checks the tires
and see if they need replacement. Why do we need a tech And no
offense because I love you guys out there, but it can take a little bit off of the technician. So I was scared when I saw the automatic
tire changer at SEMA. That's where we saw it was yeah, and the
robot. Yeah, the robot does all the tires for you. I mean
that like takes away a job from a technician. And I'm not you know,
I think it's cool, but I'm more I'm more trying to find a ways to have more technicians and then to have less. I'm not trying to
take their job away, but it would just take off the the need for them to have to check here, tire, here's what I here's automatically doing connectivity right huge in cars. We could just talked about it. It's gonna
be the next biggest wave thing. The car should send a message to whatever
your that'd be cool. You're garage, you take your car for all the
services regularly. It's just send a message to them that it's time for the
oil changes. You know, you're low on washer fluid, all that kind
of stuff. It's not the way cameras like it already does not that way,
it doesn't. It doesn't break every single thing down inside the car.
It sends them call this customer. There might be an alert that I wanted
to give them a complete breakdown of like like things like you know, oil change, wash or flui it's low and anything like that, and they can call me. Now they can reach out. That's way for them to make
money. And they can reach out and go, hey, your car is
alerting you want more sales. It's not is that a sales call, though
it will be Eventually, I think. I think eventually you'll get to that
point where you know, you get so many people that have that they already have your but they don't know when you need winshow wipers. They don't know
when you need a filip on gas or a change. We have sensors you
if you try. I mean, instead of it being a human, why
don't you have your car call you? You know, car call, Yeah
it's me, it's me, but I'm leaking over here. I'm talking about
like if the car detects a proper because you know your car does scans during the night. You know, it does update scans, it does dianostics during
the night. They were cars police, Like, if you ever walk past
the car at night time, sometimes you'll see the dashboard light up and it's just scan. You didn't wash the driveway? Yeah thanks, But I'm talking
about lams. If your car called it like you during a set time was
like, Hi, Nathaniel, this is your Ford Mustang calling. We we
realize this is your Ford must Go. I hope my forsting doesn't sound like
that. We realize British action. Here's your your weekly statistics, you know,
and it like it will show you how much gas you've used, but then it'll be like oil do and this many miles or wipers should be replaced during this or during your last drive, we recognized eight driving aggressive driving, you know, or we his car new car drive for him, have self driving technology? No, I don't think so. You think for as much
as those things are, they drive it back Sandwich, everybody nowadays special special moment ain't special. He could have got the you know, all all view
around the car, and they decided not to get that upgrade the three six.
Yeh, yeah, that's kind of cool. He said, your ears
burning because he just tuned into the I'm just kind of wondering what I was wondering which new car came with there, buddy. I just want to know
if they had self driving technology, because I know a lot of cars have newer stuff. I think, yeah, you know, the basic assists,
okay, right, auto stopped, like if somebody gets out in front of you or whatever I did. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have the automatic breakhold,
which is a nice feature in my car when when you get to a light, actually you can hold the break without you know, the hold of the whole time. I don't think he has that. You're holding the break
without telling me. You're holding the break right right. You don't know,
you don't even know. But we were talking about his car and the banners
car. You know, like the screens are just getting really like touching on
the first of having a huge way. I don't notice, honestly, like
once you start driving with it, you know, you don't really notice it.
When you're driving, you really a view of the auto hold on the brake only so it'll hold the brake automatically, which is weird because I mean it's kind of like if you haven't reversed, why don't you haven't a drive?
But well mind has hill holding even in the Chevy truck. Mine's an
automatic, but as hill hold, if I'm not a I'm on a hill, I can let off and it will literally hold it up on the hill.
You haven't. I just I think it's interesting, Like I said,
as technology starts to change around the vehicles and stuff like that, I wonder what's going to be the next neat feature that somebody you know, that installs in the car and the once in a car I'm telling you a gesters, I think truly a car that's connected and starts to really like interact with with you and with everything else. Is what people are gonna want When that When
that, when that AI really starts to come and play in the car, where you become part of the car while you drive the car. I think
that's gonna be a huge feature for people because like car people like me, we want to be in tune with our cars. So the more you can
let me be in tune with my car, the more important it's going to be there. I don't think it's gonna be really a mechanical upgrade as much
as it's gonna be grade. The next technology I think we're going to see
come in the cars is the car is going to be able to actually identify where you are in the car. The one I like is the emotion.
It knows your emotion behind the wheel. That one was really cool they talked
about a couple of years ago. I think it's going to be able to
go like okay, it knows that you're in the driver's seat and knows he's in the passer seat, and it will start to lock down things like on your phone and stuff. And I think that's another technology we're going to see
like printal controls. But you talk about Yeah, I think we're going to
see some time ten years see controls on your phone. Like as a passenger
walks in, you can like change your seat with your phone. Yeah that
makes sense. All right, Well, I don't know. Well, guys,
