VISION STATEMENTTo be the best donation program & public auto auction in the country.We talk with CEO, Colin Weatherwax about the Cars for Kids in Texas, and how they work to help kids. We learn about an effort in Houston to help kids that have dropped out of school to finish that part of their education - some people are compelled to drop out to support family.We look at the online auction and find some interesting items, which Colin helps explain how that part of the process works.In our New Car Showroom, Michael Marrs has been checking out the 2024 Chevrolet TRAX ACTIV, one of the five trim levels on the reissued TRAX.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!---- ----- Want more In Wheel Time car talk any time?

Exploring the Intersection of Credit Scores and Car Insurance with Lena Bourgois

This episode, we're joined by Lena Bourgeois from Equifax, who shares her fascination with cultural differences and is an expert on credit scores and their impact on car insurance. Lena discusses her experiences as a European in the US, gives us a peek into her life in the automotive industry, and we begin to understand how the world of credit scores intersects with car insurance. As we navigate through our discussion, Lena enlightens us on how credit isn't just about borrowing money; it's a vital cog in the wheel of auto insurance too. She helps us differentiate between deep subprime and super prime credit scores, and how income and alternative data shape insurance scores. Equipped with her expertise, we delve into the methods insurers employ to assess risk - analyzing credit and car histories - and begin to see the invisible thread that marries credit card debt, multiple credit cards, and credit scores into one ‘number’. We also touch upon the pandemic and how it has played a significant role in shaping consumer credit scores. Lena shares insights on stimulus payments and their potential to improve credit scores. She also addresses the myth about multiple credit checks damaging credit scores. In our feature segment, it is Konrad’s Car Clinic and we are looking at the evolution of exhaust systems and mufflers.All this and more on this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk!Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!---- ----- Want more In Wheel Time car talk any time?

Decoding EV Range Claims, the Race Card and Drag Racing Movies!

Join us for an ‘electrifying’ episode that looks at Electric Vehicle (EV) range claims. In today's show, we talk about how far an EV can truly take you versus what the manufacturers advertise.
