Welcome to another In Wheel Time podcast.
00:00:05.621 --> 00:00:06.565
I pressed the wrong button.
00:00:06.565 --> 00:00:07.368
I thought I was late.
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:11.667
From the Sugar Shack Studios in Houston, Texas, USA.
00:00:11.667 --> 00:00:14.313

Just ahead we've got more of the In Real Time Car Talk Show, including a great us segment.
00:00:31.652 --> 00:00:35.344
I don't know how else to put it this is it what was the one that I came up with earlier.
00:00:35.344 --> 00:00:35.685
I don't know.
00:00:35.685 --> 00:00:37.048
We forgot Great.
00:00:37.609 --> 00:00:38.331
That was earlier.
00:00:38.331 --> 00:00:39.152
I'm depending on.
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.107
That was an hour ago, rewind the tape.
00:00:41.481 --> 00:00:42.706
No, we're not going to rewind it.
00:00:42.706 --> 00:00:47.185
Jeff Heitzman will know He'll call us out on anything Exactly Now.
00:00:47.185 --> 00:00:49.345
Let's not leave George Skelton out on it either.
00:00:49.345 --> 00:00:49.828
No, no, no.
00:00:49.828 --> 00:00:58.488
Anyway, we're also going to have this hour an actual car review of the 2025 Chevy Trax.
00:00:58.488 --> 00:01:06.748
You're going to be surprised about my review, and I think everybody will be if I can get it out of my mouth.
00:01:06.748 --> 00:01:08.903
Howdy, Along with Mike out of this world.
00:01:08.903 --> 00:01:09.203
Mars.
00:01:09.203 --> 00:01:09.704
We need more.
00:01:09.704 --> 00:01:11.048
Jeff Zekin, Chief Engineer.
00:01:11.048 --> 00:01:12.311
David Ainsley sleeping in.
00:01:12.311 --> 00:01:14.766
I'm Neil Armstrong, Glad you could join us today.
00:01:14.766 --> 00:01:16.466
Jeff's going to have his motor minute as well.
00:01:16.466 --> 00:01:18.206
You're going to have a moment.
00:01:18.780 --> 00:01:20.846
Well, it's going to be fun.
00:01:24.424 --> 00:01:25.780
You don't even know what to say at this point.
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.483
Well, you know it's on the fly.
00:01:29.286 --> 00:01:29.989
It is on the fly.
00:01:29.989 --> 00:01:33.450
This whole show is on the fly, my God.
00:01:33.450 --> 00:01:35.724
So we have a choice.
00:01:35.724 --> 00:01:48.191
I can either do recalls, which I love there's some goodies in here this year this hour or we can do Heming's Soul Car Weekly Roundup.
00:01:49.260 --> 00:01:55.350
We also have a question from the Internet that you could answer if you want to, at some point in here Do it.
00:01:55.350 --> 00:01:56.013
I'm afraid.
00:01:56.013 --> 00:01:57.135
Read it, go for it.
00:01:57.135 --> 00:02:04.093
George wants to know if it was Candace Thackery Sneed that turned you into Mr Duff.
00:02:04.739 --> 00:02:05.301
No, it was not.
00:02:05.301 --> 00:02:05.826
And it was Sneed that turned you into Mr Duff.
00:02:05.826 --> 00:02:06.054
No, it was not.
00:02:06.054 --> 00:02:07.385
And it was Walter Duff.
00:02:07.385 --> 00:02:10.884
No, no, it was not.
00:02:10.884 --> 00:02:13.010
All right, george, that's the best I can do.
00:02:13.010 --> 00:02:17.582
I think it was Homeroom and you know, call his name.
00:02:17.582 --> 00:02:20.387
Hello, mcfly.
00:02:20.387 --> 00:02:21.429
Hello, not here.
00:02:21.429 --> 00:02:24.033
Yes, bueller.
00:02:24.373 --> 00:02:24.995
Bueller.
00:02:25.621 --> 00:02:33.008
Yeah, I wasn't there and I clearly wasn't in my mind, but in my mind I had it all figured out that it was supposed to work this certain way.
00:02:33.008 --> 00:02:34.251
It just didn't.
00:02:34.251 --> 00:02:35.092
It didn't go that way.
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:37.663
See, you didn't have a devious mind, you weren't a villain back then.
00:02:37.703 --> 00:02:40.907
No, I wasn't, and I'm still not today, not intentionally anyway.
00:02:40.907 --> 00:02:44.051
All right, here's some of the recalls that I need to get in this morning.
00:02:44.132 --> 00:02:45.252
Did we decide on recalls?
00:02:45.954 --> 00:02:57.972
Yeah, I think we did, I guess, we did apparently Instrument panel failure in the Jeep Gladiator for 2020 through 2024 and the Jeep Wrangler for 2018 through 2024.
00:02:57.972 --> 00:03:14.373
The instrument panel fails Stellantis recalling more than 1.2 million pickups because of an anti-lock braking system software malfunction that can disable the electronic stability control system, potentially causing a vehicle crash without prior warning.
00:03:14.373 --> 00:03:18.087
Do you know of many prior warnings in vehicle crashes?
00:03:18.147 --> 00:03:19.512
No, Not usual.
00:03:19.512 --> 00:03:20.739
I think that's something we ought to invent.
00:03:20.739 --> 00:03:23.086
Oh, you're going to have a crash in five miles.
00:03:23.187 --> 00:03:23.829
No, Hold on.
00:03:23.989 --> 00:03:25.525
Wait a minute, you're going to have a crash in five miles.
00:03:25.545 --> 00:03:26.770
No, hold on, wait a minute, you're going to have a crash now.
00:03:26.790 --> 00:03:26.972
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:26.991 --> 00:03:28.659
That's the way it usually works, and then there's some bad language used.
00:03:29.219 --> 00:03:36.643
Recall effects 2019 through 2024, ram 1500 pickups and 100% of the vehicles are expected to have the defect.
00:03:36.643 --> 00:03:50.956
According to documents filed with NHTSA, defective vehicles are produced from October 31, 2017, and received the February 14, 2024 ABS module software update.
00:03:50.956 --> 00:03:53.889
So they've been updated, so now they're going to have to update the update.
00:03:53.889 --> 00:03:56.187
Way to go, nice.
00:03:56.187 --> 00:04:04.491
Nhtsa is also launching an inquiry into Stellantis following reports of unexplained fires starting under vehicle hoods.
00:04:04.491 --> 00:04:08.319
Into Stellantis, following reports of unexplained fires starting under vehicle hoods.
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:16.654
The investigation is estimated to affect over 780,000 vehicles covering the 2021 through 2023 Jeep Wrangler and the 21 through 23 Jeep Gladiator.
00:04:16.654 --> 00:04:27.004
Nine vehicle owner questionnaires were received by the Office of Defects that reported unexpected fires and most indicated the fires occurred while the ignition was in the off position.
00:04:27.004 --> 00:04:31.382
Passenger side of the engine compartment is suspected as being the origin point.
00:04:31.382 --> 00:04:38.446
According to documents filed with nizza, park it outside until you know for sure I want to know more about this office of defects.
00:04:38.505 --> 00:04:39.447
Is that a big place?
00:04:39.447 --> 00:04:40.911
Is that hundreds of people?
00:04:40.951 --> 00:04:41.500
that work there.
00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:47.757
No, it's got one little old man there, bald-headed, with some round inspector glasses on.
00:04:47.757 --> 00:04:55.963
He's got a whole office just for defect and he's got a stamp All day long.
00:04:55.963 --> 00:05:04.807
That's all he does, defect defect, defect defect, wow, volkswagen ID.4.
00:05:04.807 --> 00:05:06.245
Have you seen one of those, mars?
00:05:06.264 --> 00:05:06.545
No, I have not.
00:05:06.545 --> 00:05:07.509
I have not seen one.
00:05:08.721 --> 00:05:12.579
We typically, every once in a while, get a Volkswagen, but we've not seen any electric Volkswagens.
00:05:12.819 --> 00:05:15.709
We see a lot of the Cybertrucks lately, a lot of Teslas.
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.408
Improperly secured passenger airbag inflator.
00:05:19.408 --> 00:05:28.786
That would be kind of like the airbag that was in the movie Vacation, oh yeah, where the thing blew up in his face.
00:05:28.786 --> 00:05:31.468
All it was was a trash bag, but it was pretty good.
00:05:31.468 --> 00:05:41.906
Volkswagen, like I said, recalling 98,000 ID4 compact crossovers because of defective door handles that offer insufficient water protection.
00:05:41.906 --> 00:05:43.107
Martha, did you open the door?
00:05:43.107 --> 00:05:43.666
No, wait a minute.
00:05:43.666 --> 00:06:03.845
Oh, martha, martha, there she goes down.
00:06:03.845 --> 00:06:05.410
She's on the feeder.
00:06:06.721 --> 00:06:07.464
The door opened.
00:06:07.464 --> 00:06:09.286
They need the Ken Diggett door handles.
00:06:09.286 --> 00:06:10.569
They do, yeah, they flush in there.
00:06:11.882 --> 00:06:12.946
So those are the recalls.
00:06:12.946 --> 00:06:18.031
I think that what we need to do is we need to have us a little game time.
00:06:18.031 --> 00:06:25.170
We have the Texans playing tomorrow evening.
00:06:25.170 --> 00:06:26.821
We do On Sunday night football.
00:06:26.821 --> 00:06:28.262
We've got Alabama Crimson Tide playing today at 11 o'clock.
00:06:28.262 --> 00:06:29.184
We have the Texans playing tomorrow evening.
00:06:29.184 --> 00:06:29.865
We do On Sunday night football.
00:06:29.865 --> 00:06:31.887
Yep yep, We've got Alabama Crimson Tide playing today at 11 o'clock.
00:06:31.887 --> 00:06:37.274
I heard the roof's going to be open for the Texans yes, it is, or at least at this point in time, they've decided that Right.
00:06:37.915 --> 00:06:53.572
Well, the forecast is pretty good, and it'll be a rare event when the roof is open and you know, we, as taxpayers, paid a lot of money to have that thing open and close.
00:06:53.572 --> 00:06:53.892
It's never open.
00:06:53.892 --> 00:06:54.716
Well, the last hurricane opened it.
00:06:54.716 --> 00:06:55.298
Yeah, I did some panels on.
00:06:55.298 --> 00:06:58.951
Yeah, yeah, like a can opener, uh, but I have to disagree with that.
00:06:58.951 --> 00:07:03.384
But understanding it's supposed to rain tomorrow afternoon through the evening.
00:07:03.384 --> 00:07:07.757
Good, I mean, I'm just saying they probably make that.
00:07:07.757 --> 00:07:09.901
Do I need to look that game time decision?
00:07:09.901 --> 00:07:10.362
I don't know.
00:07:10.362 --> 00:07:18.223
But, uh, and you talked about what, what crimson, who funny it's okay, we'll get you.
00:07:19.444 --> 00:07:20.326
Astros are playing today.
00:07:20.326 --> 00:07:21.208
They won last night.
00:07:21.208 --> 00:07:27.711
Yeah, uh, there was a arca race on yesterday and then it was also the An ARCA race on Friday.
00:07:27.711 --> 00:07:29.646
Friday afternoon evening, friday.
00:07:29.646 --> 00:07:32.244
Yeah, they got to get them in.
00:07:32.244 --> 00:07:35.567
When they get them in ARCA's the you know, lesser Third tier?
00:07:35.769 --> 00:07:36.391
Yeah, third tier.
00:07:36.391 --> 00:07:41.190
Arca used to be the second tier back in the day.
00:07:41.190 --> 00:07:57.512
Arca is different to a racing series but they ran alongside NASCAR Winston Cup at the time and Arco race was on Saturday and a lot of the kind of like it is now with the secondary Xfinity series.
00:07:57.512 --> 00:07:59.983
Is it the Xfinity series?
00:07:59.983 --> 00:08:00.485
Is that the second?
00:08:00.485 --> 00:08:01.267
Yeah, that's the second.
00:08:01.267 --> 00:08:02.771
Yeah, it's like a Busch series, yeah.
00:08:02.771 --> 00:08:09.987
And so back in the day ARCA was, they were the bomb as coming through the ranks.
00:08:09.987 --> 00:08:14.711
Anyway, let's do the sold cars roundup fun game, shall we?
00:08:14.711 --> 00:08:22.216
So the boys are going to guess the sold price of vehicles off of Hemmingscom.
00:08:22.216 --> 00:08:24.629
Sold cars roundup I've got to concentrate, all right.
00:08:24.629 --> 00:08:25.879
Old Cars Roundup I've got to concentrate, all right.
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:27.723
Now I want you to put your mind into.
00:08:27.723 --> 00:08:32.874
Let's see 1958.
00:08:34.841 --> 00:08:42.368
Oh, it was just a wheel ad Two-door hardtop 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne.
00:08:43.049 --> 00:08:50.467
Ooh, looks like a restomod Been lowered, medium blue in color, has some you know aftermarket wheels on it.
00:08:50.467 --> 00:08:59.212
Just enough chrome trim Looks really good, kind of like Richie's brother in American graffiti.
00:08:59.212 --> 00:09:00.966
Remember the white and black in Biscayne?
00:09:00.966 --> 00:09:02.190
Mm-hmm, it's like that.
00:09:02.190 --> 00:09:04.386
How much do you think that that's sold for?
00:09:04.386 --> 00:09:06.928
Oh, oh, oh 32.
00:09:07.400 --> 00:09:08.484
That's what I was going to say.
00:09:08.484 --> 00:09:09.708
I wrote mine down, all right.
00:09:09.708 --> 00:09:11.967
Well, I'm going to take 28, then 28.
00:09:12.221 --> 00:09:14.317
Well, it's $23,100.
00:09:14.317 --> 00:09:17.066
Oh, very good, michael, that would be a great car to buy.
00:09:17.366 --> 00:09:18.269
I'm going to give you that one.
00:09:18.269 --> 00:09:20.268
It's very unique.
00:09:21.982 --> 00:09:23.586
That's only a one-year model car.
00:09:23.785 --> 00:09:24.027
Yeah.
00:09:24.607 --> 00:09:24.847
I was.
00:09:24.847 --> 00:09:27.293
It changed the body style.
00:09:27.293 --> 00:09:29.383
Well, it goes from 57 to 58 and then 59.
00:09:29.383 --> 00:09:31.966
Those are all three different bodies and you can play along at home too.
00:09:32.047 --> 00:09:35.813
So whoever wins, mike will come to your house and wash your car.
00:09:35.953 --> 00:09:40.673
Here's one, 1987 Chevrolet Corvette.
00:09:40.673 --> 00:09:50.567
Oh, this was the first model year, if I'm not mistaken, that was built in Bowling Green 1987 Chevrolet Corvette.
00:09:50.567 --> 00:09:52.808
It's a coupe, okay.
00:09:52.808 --> 00:10:00.376
And how much do you think that that sold for the online auction at Hemmingscom?
00:10:00.376 --> 00:10:03.816
Damn, I'm going to start going first $12.
00:10:03.816 --> 00:10:04.460
I said $11.
00:10:04.460 --> 00:10:06.543
$4,100.
00:10:06.563 --> 00:10:08.789
Okay, On Hemmings.
00:10:08.809 --> 00:10:09.751
Uh-100.
00:10:09.751 --> 00:10:10.774
Okay On Hemings.
00:10:10.774 --> 00:10:11.716
Uh-huh man, there, it is right there.
00:10:13.143 --> 00:10:14.708
I mean because you know it's got to be a driver.
00:10:15.844 --> 00:10:19.467
This is for Jeff A 1969 Chevrolet Nova.
00:10:19.467 --> 00:10:25.351
Oh, I can't tell you how many Chevrolet Novas that I washed at Richardson Chevrolet.
00:10:25.351 --> 00:10:25.753
Okay.
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:27.280
You felt good about it, didn't you?
00:10:27.280 --> 00:10:27.621
69.
00:10:27.621 --> 00:10:29.023
Chevrolet Novas that I washed at Richardson Chevrolet.
00:10:29.043 --> 00:10:30.104
Okay, you felt good about it, didn't you?
00:10:30.104 --> 00:10:30.804
Because it was 69.
00:10:30.804 --> 00:10:35.029
Because it was the entry-level Chevrolet back in the day, yep, and they made them in four doors and they made them in two doors.
00:10:35.029 --> 00:10:40.235
This happens to be the grocery getter car, two-door, I would say priceless, but I'll let you go first.
00:10:40.235 --> 00:10:49.014
They also made some hotmarket wheels on it.
00:10:49.014 --> 00:10:54.571
I don't know anything about the other conditions or engine style 17.
00:10:54.912 --> 00:10:55.352
17.
00:10:55.659 --> 00:10:58.809
I'm going to go 9.
00:10:59.421 --> 00:11:02.191
How about $110,250?
00:11:02.985 --> 00:11:03.830
I did say priceless.
00:11:03.830 --> 00:11:05.539
I did say priceless, what the hell.
00:11:05.580 --> 00:11:08.806
There's something else there SS or an RS.
00:11:08.806 --> 00:11:09.347
Oh boy.
00:11:09.580 --> 00:11:11.326
No, that's a big block all the way.
00:11:11.486 --> 00:11:14.052
You think Did they put a big block in there?
00:11:14.052 --> 00:11:16.972
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you could get a 396 in them.
00:11:16.993 --> 00:11:18.183
Yeah, okay, and there's something on the.
00:11:23.427 --> 00:11:24.889
The grill's got BS is what it is.
00:11:24.889 --> 00:11:38.254
Anyway, here's one for you Boys, you Ford Mustang fans Jeez, 1965 black on black Ford Mustang convertible.
00:11:38.254 --> 00:11:44.250
I don't recall them making a convertible, but maybe they did.
00:11:44.250 --> 00:11:48.096
I'm sorry, don, what year again A 1965 Ford Mustang convertible, what?
00:11:48.096 --> 00:11:48.438
But maybe they did.
00:11:48.438 --> 00:11:49.083
I'm sorry, don, what year again A 1965 Ford Mustang convertible.
00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:51.645
What, yes, they did.
00:11:51.645 --> 00:11:55.765
In fact, they made the convertible before they made the other one, I think he's right.
00:11:55.765 --> 00:11:58.528
They had to have the body stressing and everything.
00:11:59.081 --> 00:12:02.508
Okay, so 65 Ford Mustang, black on black convertible.
00:12:02.508 --> 00:12:06.087
Looks like it's got wire wheel covers on it.
00:12:06.087 --> 00:12:08.080
That would be fact automatic.
00:12:08.722 --> 00:12:27.184
I don't know, that automatic or 3 speed, whatever 25, I'm going to go 50 23 363 yeah, I'm betting 3 speed and you know part of the reason that I was attracted to this thing that we do here is the fact that you can buy.
00:12:27.184 --> 00:12:33.761
If you're interested in getting into any kind of a collector car, which is an everyday driver.
00:12:33.761 --> 00:12:40.421
You want to get something that maybe, perhaps that you can modify, buy something that's all completely stocked Hemings.
00:12:40.421 --> 00:12:42.028
They got these cars.
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:47.386
Yeah, and there's a few other places, but they vet them, so you've got to be a certain caliber.
00:12:47.386 --> 00:12:48.831
The best they can.
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:51.408
They usually have lots of pictures on there.
00:12:51.408 --> 00:13:00.556
You know, if you're looking for this particular one, the 57 Chevy Bel Air, you can find out whether or not it's got the six-cylinder or the V8 in it, or you know.
00:13:00.620 --> 00:13:11.447
Well, yeah, like I say, you've got to vet them and then you know there's the criteria to get into that, and then if they can also refuse to take it for their reasons, so here is a 57 Chevy Bel Air four-door sedan.
00:13:12.366 --> 00:13:12.908
How much do you think?
00:13:12.908 --> 00:13:15.548
And it looks completely factory stock.
00:13:15.548 --> 00:13:18.350
I don't know about the color, but it's medium blue and it's nice.
00:13:18.350 --> 00:13:24.375
It's got a white top on it, very clean, got full wheel covers on it, stock looking.
00:13:24.375 --> 00:13:28.357
How much do you think that car like that would sell for you go first, but there's my number.
00:13:29.740 --> 00:13:31.383
Where's your number?
00:13:31.383 --> 00:13:34.950
I'm going to say $9,000.
00:13:34.970 --> 00:13:37.234
$100K, $10,100.
00:13:39.662 --> 00:13:40.261
I just paid 10 times more.
00:13:40.261 --> 00:13:43.386
You're the guy I want to sell to and the reason being is because it's a four-door.
00:13:43.386 --> 00:13:45.308
If it were a two-door it would be a whole different world.
00:13:45.308 --> 00:13:49.956
I agree, but the four-doors are kind of coming up because the two-doors got so expensive.
00:13:49.956 --> 00:13:50.216
Yeah.
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:51.302
What was your number on that?
00:13:51.302 --> 00:13:54.827
Nine, nine, okay, but don't want to give you that one, so Mike's ahead.
00:13:54.827 --> 00:13:55.308
Thank you.
00:13:58.073 --> 00:14:06.592
All right, this is one for you, mars it with no doors, and it's got a camper on the back of it.
00:14:07.754 --> 00:14:10.960
Price just went up 1977 Ford F250.
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:16.649
So it's a three-quarter ton and not one of the most attractive trucks in the entire world.
00:14:16.649 --> 00:14:18.947
Two-tone, with a panel painted on the bottom.
00:14:18.947 --> 00:14:21.349
No, it's one color and it's beige.
00:14:21.349 --> 00:14:22.955
This is perfect.
