In Wheel Time Podcast: Your Go-To Automotive Talk Show

Youthful Energy Meets Automotive Obsession - Woodlands High School Auto Club with Mr. Rogers!

Ever wondered what gets young car enthusiasts revving? Join us as we hit the gas with Andrew Rogers and Braden Smith from the Woodlands High School Auto Enthusiast Club. Their club is more than an oil-stained garage - it's a community where students bond over muscle cars, imports, and even a Fiat 124 Spider. From Coffee and Cars events to an engaging relationship with the Conroe ISD, this club is shifting gears on what it means to be young, driven, and in love with the automotive world. Now, what if we told you that Bentley, Kia, Ford, and Ram are all slamming on the brakes due to recalls? That's right! In our latest news segment, we pump the brakes on these big industry names, dissecting the issues and impacts of these recalls. We also have a bone to pick with ARC Automotive and Delphi regarding potentially faulty airbag inflators that are causing major recall issues. As the auto industry charges towards electric vehicles, we discuss the roadblocks and green lights facing auto technicians and independent repair shops. Lastly, we'd be remiss if we didn't share our affection for the In Wheel Time car talk show. This platform is no ordinary car show; it's a pit stop filled with unique features like Konrad's Car Clinic and the weekly 'This Week in Auto History' segment, and it's got a backseat full of upcoming live shows. You can be a part of the auto-tainment from your living room, office, or garage.

A look at EV Charging with CerebrumX's Sumit Chauhan and a review of the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L!

Charging your electric vehicle (EV) shouldn't be a guessing game, should it? You're about to glean insights from Sumit Chauhan of CerebrumX who helps us understand some of EV charging times. He explains why plugging your EV at your convenience might not be the most cost-effective strategy, and how peak load times factor into this equation. Plus, we touch on the $200 registration fee imposed on Texan EV owners to compensate for lost gas tax revenue.We also get a look into the world of CerebrumX's transformative technology designed to optimize EV charging costs. We discuss the potential repercussions of the looming reversal of electrification and EV subsidies, and how their app interacts with the grid to possibly reduce charging costs through tiered electricity plans. Could smart charging be the answer to easing pressure on our power grids? We also explore the benefits of this innovative app for both residential and enterprise customers. Ever wondered why electric company pricing structures seem so convoluted, especially when it comes to EV charging? Let's shed some light on how these models affect you, the consumer, and how CerebrumX is striving to enhance transparency, especially in the credit system for power returned to the grid. We also openly think about the prospect of circumventing the middleman entirely, enabling EV owners to use the power they generate for their own homes.In our Feature segment, we have a look at the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve 4X4 - a mid-size SUV that has grown into a 3-row vehicle. It maintains the Jeep off-road chops with a new look that adds luxury styling that many people will find appealing.We invite you to join the In Wheel Time Car Talk crew every Saturday!Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Write off the Car, not the Kid - a look at America Can! Cars for Kids with Colin Weatherwax.

Looking around the automotive world, it seems that all the car clubs we talk with are involved in the community. This includes having a charity or charities that they try to support - giving back to the community.So it makes sense that a charity would use cars for the benefit of kids and what better way to do it than recycle old vehicles that are headed for the salvage yard....or at least close to it.MISSION STATEMENTWe solicit donations to help kids graduate to give them an opportunity to build a better future. 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?
