Season 2025

The rumble of vintage engines and the aroma of breakfast tacos fill the air as we broadcast live from the Tailpipes and Tacos cruise-in at Lupe' Tortilla in Katy, Texas. This popular gathering of automotive enthusiasts provides the perfect backdrop for conversations with passionate car collectors and restorers who share the stories behind their prized vehicles.

Stan Holt, the proprietor of Loopy Tortilla and host of the event, sits down with us to discuss his impressive 52-car collection. With characteristic humor, Stan shares the tale of his impulsive purchase of a 1941 Packard at a Mecum Auction despite not registering as a bidder. "The guy was asking me where's your bidder number? I said I don't have a bidder number. He said you can't bid without a bidder number. I said oh yeah, you can. I just bought that," Stan recounts with a laugh. His collection includes everything from this beautiful Packard to a 1971 Cadillac Coupe DeVille with period-correct avocado green interior.

We also speak with Trey Sider about his meticulously restored 1958 Plymouth Fury, modeled after the iconic car from Stephen King's "Christine." Trey details the four-year restoration process, including trips to California scrapyards to source authentic parts. His dedication has resulted in a show-winning vehicle that captures the essence of late-1950s automotive design, complete with period-correct interior fabrics and a powerful 392 Hemi engine.

Between these fascinating conversations, we discuss upcoming events including the Hot Rod Tour of Texas, which will bring over 300 classic cars through the back roads from Victoria to Madisonville. We also provide a comprehensive review of the 2025 Toyota Corolla and practical recommendations for parents looking to purchase used SUVs for teen drivers.

Throughout the episode, nostalgic discussions about automotive history – from cigarette lighters in dashboards to the evolution of power steering – create a rich tapestry of car culture that spans generations. Join us for this celebration of automotive passion where every vehicle has a story to tell and every collector has a unique journey to share.

This is a Packard, that's a Packard.

00:04:12.288 --> 00:04:15.349
Oh well, they're very close, they're very similar in looks.

00:04:15.349 --> 00:04:18.492
All the cars were similar in looks much like today.

00:04:18.913 --> 00:04:21.595
Uh-huh, yes, exactly they look like turtles today.

00:04:22.074 --> 00:04:25.557
Is that not the one that Amy drove off after her wedding?

00:04:25.576 --> 00:04:26.117
No, that was black.

00:04:26.117 --> 00:04:26.817
This is green.

00:04:26.817 --> 00:04:27.858
Okay, gotcha, this is green.

00:04:27.858 --> 00:04:28.860
That's the original paint job.

00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.947
Well, they all kind of run together for me at this point in my life.

00:04:31.968 --> 00:04:33.471
Well, it's your age, yeah, yeah, here's age.

00:04:33.471 --> 00:04:33.891
They run, yeah.

00:04:33.891 --> 00:04:35.024
So this is a Packard.

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:46.706
I've not seen that auction.

00:04:46.658 --> 00:04:47.524
No he drank all the wine out of the trunk.

00:04:47.524 --> 00:04:48.269
No, he drank the wines while I bought it.

00:04:48.269 --> 00:04:53.367
It was 3 o'clock, funny story, though I planned not to buy anything.

00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.488
You always do that, though I didn't know I didn't sign up.

00:04:57.821 --> 00:04:59.906
I got a day pass, just like everybody else.

00:04:59.906 --> 00:05:03.624
And here it comes.

00:05:03.624 --> 00:05:05.588
You got a big NR on the windshield.

00:05:05.627 --> 00:05:06.149
No reserve.

00:05:06.189 --> 00:05:06.670
No reserve.

00:05:07.632 --> 00:05:08.314
And you said, hmm.

00:05:08.314 --> 00:05:09.963
So I'm watching it and I look inside.

00:05:09.963 --> 00:05:11.086
What year is it?

00:05:11.086 --> 00:05:11.870
41.

00:05:11.870 --> 00:05:12.471
41.

00:05:12.471 --> 00:05:16.490
And so Judd's there, he's looking for me.

00:05:17.139 --> 00:05:22.502
Dale Holquist is talking to Judd Well, there's trouble right there, he said have you seen my dad?

00:05:22.523 --> 00:05:22.742
He goes.

00:05:22.742 --> 00:05:24.408
Yeah, he's up on the big screen right there.

00:05:25.850 --> 00:05:26.473
With his hand up.

00:05:27.762 --> 00:05:28.786
Yeah, he just bought him.

00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.567
I guess I don't know what, a Buick or something.

00:05:31.567 --> 00:05:34.447
Judd said he didn't sign up.

00:05:34.447 --> 00:05:38.699
So when you bid I always wait until he picks up the gavel.

00:05:38.699 --> 00:05:39.886
I will help him get it up there.

00:05:39.886 --> 00:05:43.843
So Judd comes running up out of breath.

00:05:43.843 --> 00:05:45.706
The guy was asking me.

00:05:45.706 --> 00:05:46.708
He said where's your bidder number?

00:05:46.708 --> 00:05:47.709
I said I don't have a bidder number.

00:05:47.709 --> 00:05:50.793
And the guy said you can't bid without a bidder number.

00:05:50.793 --> 00:05:51.514
I said oh yeah, you can.

00:05:51.514 --> 00:05:55.687
I just bought that.

00:05:55.687 --> 00:05:55.906
What?

00:05:56.168 --> 00:05:59.353
do you mean I can't you want me to write the check, or not, are you?

00:05:59.374 --> 00:05:59.855
new.

00:05:59.855 --> 00:06:04.045
Yeah, like they're going to take it back.

00:06:04.107 --> 00:06:05.269
Who was the auction company?

00:06:05.269 --> 00:06:09.564
If I can't ask Mecham, it was Mecham Just recently then, a few weeks ago.

00:06:11.148 --> 00:06:12.271
The other, mecham.

00:06:12.271 --> 00:06:16.891
Okay, and every year I have a reunion.

00:06:16.891 --> 00:06:20.028
I think she plans it that way.

00:06:20.028 --> 00:06:22.345
I have a reunion the weekend of the auction.

00:06:23.288 --> 00:06:25.723
Anyway, it was so funny, but it didn't work apparently.

00:06:25.983 --> 00:06:30.505
No, no no yeah, last year it was, didn't they have two, last year no.

00:06:30.685 --> 00:06:34.588
No, that was probably another one in another city that you went to.

00:06:35.290 --> 00:06:35.690
Yeah, they do.

00:06:35.730 --> 00:06:36.091

They do, yeah, bear jackson too, they do yeah, yeah, free sort of free wine, if you're a bitter, that's registered yeah kind of like the cigarette girl back in the days oh yeah, whatever she is, geez yeah, remember those, yeah, yeah, I remember they give you cigarettes on the plane.

00:06:56.658 --> 00:07:06.172
If you ran out, correct those little four packs of parliament I haven't heard of that in years.

00:07:06.172 --> 00:07:08.824

I smoked Terrytons, did you?

00:07:10.449 --> 00:07:12.064
Yeah, rather than fight the switch.

00:07:12.384 --> 00:07:13.449
And I love it.

00:07:13.449 --> 00:07:23.071
You go to the gas station and you ask for parliament lights and he goes this parliament light, it's that one, this parliament light.

00:07:25.362 --> 00:07:26.043
Jeff, could you help me?

00:07:26.043 --> 00:07:27.505

I said I don't think it's got time to kill me, exactly.

00:07:46.930 --> 00:07:50.459
The wine on the other hand I can outrun it, yeah the wine on the other hand.

00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.625
Oh man, when I was in the car, business smoke.

00:07:53.468 --> 00:07:54.490
Oh, absolutely, four packs a day.

00:07:56.422 --> 00:07:59.310
That's where I honed my addiction to Kool's.

00:07:59.310 --> 00:08:00.673
Oh my.

00:08:00.733 --> 00:08:01.134
God.

00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:05.641
I had Kool's.

00:08:05.641 --> 00:08:06.884
My dad smoked Kool's, kool's, yeah, kool's.

00:08:06.884 --> 00:08:07.004
At.

00:08:07.264 --> 00:08:07.987
Richardson.

00:08:08.649 --> 00:08:10.112
Chevrolet yeah, that started it.

00:08:10.112 --> 00:08:11.925
And look where we are today.

00:08:11.925 --> 00:08:13.305
When did you quit?

00:08:13.305 --> 00:08:17.471
I quit 20 years later after that job.

00:08:17.471 --> 00:08:18.824
20 years later I quit.

00:08:18.824 --> 00:08:23.788
That was in 1990, I think I was 28 and I just cold quit.

00:08:23.810 --> 00:08:25.677
Yeah Well, well, and I just cold quit.

00:08:25.677 --> 00:08:27.745
Yeah well, well, that's a lie.

00:08:27.745 --> 00:08:35.966
I used to keep a pack under the seat of my company car, my Nova, with the matching hubcaps to the paint.

00:08:35.966 --> 00:08:39.772
Remember those, oh God.

00:08:39.932 --> 00:08:40.734
I'd drive it.

00:08:40.854 --> 00:08:41.554
I left them there.

00:08:41.554 --> 00:08:43.072
It was a four-door with bucket seats.

00:08:43.414 --> 00:08:43.940
Oh Lord.

00:08:44.621 --> 00:08:45.645
Yeah, and the consoles.

00:08:45.645 --> 00:08:51.484
I recall Anyway I had some under the seat how I gave it up.

00:08:51.484 --> 00:08:53.495
I gave up the tough ones first, like coffee.

00:08:53.495 --> 00:08:58.381
I wouldn't have smoke while I was on the phone or in my car.

00:08:58.381 --> 00:09:00.565
One morning I thought I'm going to have one.

00:09:00.565 --> 00:09:02.543
Well, they've been in there about six months.

00:09:02.543 --> 00:09:04.828
The thing burned like a fuse that going to have one.

00:09:04.828 --> 00:09:06.549
Well, they've been in there about six months.

00:09:06.669 --> 00:09:07.750
They burned like a fuse.

00:09:08.071 --> 00:09:09.432
Oh, that thing was nasty.

00:09:09.432 --> 00:09:10.893
How did I ever do that all day?

00:09:10.952 --> 00:09:12.254
long like a fuse.

00:09:12.254 --> 00:09:16.155
So let's go back to the car collection okay, let's go back so we've got this one.

00:09:16.155 --> 00:09:19.503
We and the 55 I'm very familiar with that had a.

00:09:19.503 --> 00:09:26.138
It doesn't have power steering, but I think nobody lubricated the steering system in it when I drove it.

00:09:26.138 --> 00:09:31.748
Uh, back in the day, that was in 2007 and um and it was.

00:09:31.928 --> 00:09:42.485
It was a beast to once once the wheels start rolling and like on this packard, if it's sitting still you can hardly turn it a big steering wheel, but as soon as the wheels any motion at all.

00:09:42.504 --> 00:09:43.365
It's like power steering.

00:09:43.606 --> 00:09:49.100
So do we have any things that we can talk about?

00:09:49.100 --> 00:09:53.744
How many cars do you have in the collection now?

00:09:53.744 --> 00:09:54.547
Have you counted them?

00:09:54.547 --> 00:09:55.839
I have, is it 60?

00:09:55.839 --> 00:09:57.166
There's actually a list.

00:09:58.183 --> 00:10:06.649
There is a real list so is it kind of like the old mob books, where here's the books that she can look at and here's the list that everybody else can look at.

00:10:06.649 --> 00:10:07.926
Hers is a real short list.

00:10:09.020 --> 00:10:09.662
Who are those other?

00:10:09.701 --> 00:10:10.003
cars.

00:10:10.003 --> 00:10:11.846
There's 51.

00:10:11.846 --> 00:10:15.332
51, okay, yeah, no 52.

00:10:15.332 --> 00:10:16.134
52.

00:10:16.134 --> 00:10:17.424
I hadn't made the sheet yet.

00:10:17.424 --> 00:10:19.908
It's a maintenance sheet, I understand.

00:10:20.660 --> 00:10:26.673
So when are we going to have a place that we can show the cars?

00:10:26.673 --> 00:10:30.466
I mean, I know that they're all stuff.

00:10:30.539 --> 00:10:34.341
At the next Mecham auction Sheila's going to see them all the.

00:10:34.341 --> 00:10:35.566
Stan Holt collection.

00:10:35.566 --> 00:10:36.750
The Stan Holt collection.

00:10:38.201 --> 00:10:44.331
Because I was bragging about the white Cadillac Coupe DeVille that you bought in Florida.

00:10:44.331 --> 00:10:45.114
You still have that.

00:10:45.114 --> 00:10:45.654
Still have it.

00:10:45.654 --> 00:10:49.548
It's white, two-door, but it what year is it?

00:10:49.548 --> 00:10:51.292
71.

00:10:51.292 --> 00:10:52.153
It's a 71.

00:10:52.153 --> 00:10:56.110
And it's got a green brocade interior.

00:10:56.389 --> 00:10:58.264
Yes, perfect, it's so bad, it's good.

00:10:58.445 --> 00:11:01.145
Yeah, oh my God it's not just green.

00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:02.961
You remember Harvest Gold?

00:11:02.961 --> 00:11:10.494
Yes, avocado Green, yeah, avocado Green, avocado Green yeah, sort of matches the refrigerator it had shag carpet but I took it out.

00:11:10.494 --> 00:11:12.201
I put a loop on it.

00:11:12.221 --> 00:11:13.386
So here's the deal with the car.

00:11:13.386 --> 00:11:21.774
Have you ever heard of a Cadillac stripped car that has no, there's no extra options on it at all.

00:11:22.061 --> 00:11:22.842
It has a.

00:11:22.842 --> 00:11:25.671
What was it?

00:11:26.942 --> 00:11:28.702
A cigarette lighter Vinyl top.

00:11:28.702 --> 00:11:30.288
Delete A vinyl.

00:11:30.940 --> 00:11:33.469
They came standard with a vinyl top.

00:11:33.580 --> 00:11:36.168
So the man ordered it delete that we don't want that on there.

00:11:36.168 --> 00:11:37.423
Well, he didn't want to pay for it.

00:11:37.946 --> 00:11:47.740
Yeah, which is probably like 12 bucks back then One of my favorite stories about that is that 55 Buick yeah, it has an aftermarket like Pep Boys cigarette lighter bolted under the dash.

00:11:48.019 --> 00:11:48.260
No.

00:11:48.402 --> 00:11:55.820
Yeah, I said I'm not paying $8 for a damn cigarette lighter, got a Pep Boys for $6.

00:11:56.139 --> 00:11:56.864
$6.

00:11:56.864 --> 00:12:02.803
And so does it actually work off of the ignition switch, or is it just on all the time, I don't know.

00:12:02.803 --> 00:12:04.393
Huh, well, there's a thought.

00:12:04.754 --> 00:12:05.277
It does work.

00:12:05.277 --> 00:12:08.010
I know that let's on the way home, get a pack of Terrytons.

00:12:08.693 --> 00:12:09.960
No, parliaments, parliaments.

00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.629
We've got to go find those Parliaments, parliaments lights Non-filter.

00:12:13.770 --> 00:12:14.152
Test it.

00:12:18.044 --> 00:12:18.225
Research.

00:12:18.225 --> 00:12:23.173
Remember at drugstores when they had the, you remember going to nightclubs, cigarette machines?

00:12:23.173 --> 00:12:30.386
Yes, 50 cents, yep, amazing, another 50 cents apiece.

00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:31.461
Pretty much yes, when.

00:12:31.481 --> 00:12:35.465
I was in the service as soon as we got outside of three miles Away from the base.

00:12:35.465 --> 00:12:38.126
Well, we're going to Vietnam Offshore.

00:12:38.147 --> 00:12:38.789
Oh, I see, okay.

00:12:39.259 --> 00:12:40.807
They were $1.10 a carton.

00:12:40.807 --> 00:12:45.629
We weren't worried about the enemy.

00:12:46.259 --> 00:12:47.524
Yeah, what was that?

00:12:47.524 --> 00:12:48.970
The Can-Am?

00:12:49.980 --> 00:12:53.989
Yeah, but it looks like a highway car or something.

00:12:53.989 --> 00:12:54.923
It's like a Range Rover.

00:12:55.004 --> 00:12:56.522
Shit about the car, I guess.

00:12:56.522 --> 00:12:58.008
Anyway, anyway, the collection.

00:12:58.008 --> 00:13:01.927
I'm going to start selling some of them because you just can't drive them.

00:13:01.927 --> 00:13:04.990
Full-time shop guy, you just can't drive them.

00:13:05.009 --> 00:13:05.413
Isn't that shop guy?

00:13:05.413 --> 00:13:06.240
You just can't drive them Can't yeah.

00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:07.966
Isn't that truck over there for sale?

00:13:07.966 --> 00:13:09.042
Isn't that yours, that's mine?

00:13:09.042 --> 00:13:11.289
Yeah, you're starting already.

00:13:11.782 --> 00:13:12.759
Yep, I'm starting already.

00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:13.601
I need to sell.

00:13:13.601 --> 00:13:17.412
I'd like to sell about 10.

00:13:17.412 --> 00:13:20.009
There's some I just can't part with, even though I don't drive them.

00:13:20.009 --> 00:13:21.261
I'm building.

00:13:21.261 --> 00:13:23.048
I'm actually building two cars right now.

00:13:23.048 --> 00:13:25.626
Really, what are you building?

00:13:25.626 --> 00:13:32.187
A 57 Ford Fairlane 300, two door post, a two door post car.

00:13:32.187 --> 00:13:36.980
The 500's had the big fins and they had the little fins on the 300.

00:13:36.980 --> 00:13:38.384
It's a one owner car.

00:13:38.384 --> 00:13:50.706
I didn't title it, I bought it at an auction and it's at Last name's Broussard, sean Broussard's in Lafayette.

00:13:50.706 --> 00:13:54.066
Beautiful, he finished the Cadillac.

00:13:54.889 --> 00:13:55.149
I see.

00:13:55.480 --> 00:14:13.956
And so we're putting the LS version of a Ford motor in that car, and it's going to be titanium silver, which is a lexus, uh really beautiful silver with kind of a orangey beige interior.

00:14:13.956 --> 00:14:14.438
You know what I mean.

00:14:14.438 --> 00:14:16.624
Like they put in the saddle saddle.

00:14:16.624 --> 00:14:20.672
Thank you, and I'll tell you the coolest it's a four-door, two-door.

00:14:20.832 --> 00:14:21.293
it's a two-door.

00:14:21.293 --> 00:14:25.706
Uh, I was gonna leave the original engine in because it was a.

00:14:25.706 --> 00:14:28.071
That car came with a 292.

00:14:28.071 --> 00:14:30.320
Okay, but it has a 312.

00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.607
So somebody bought it wanting to go faster.

00:14:32.607 --> 00:14:35.690
So they bought the cheaper car with a Porsche with the biggest motor.

00:14:35.690 --> 00:14:40.105
So you can actually get two four-barrels from Ford on that car.

00:14:40.105 --> 00:14:41.226
It doesn't have them.

00:14:41.226 --> 00:14:45.232
Anyway, I decided, if we did the LS here that I would do it.

00:14:45.232 --> 00:14:50.503
But the coolest car she was shaking her head.

00:14:50.503 --> 00:14:51.725
I've tried to buy it for 10 years.

00:14:51.725 --> 00:14:58.134
It's a 55 Chevy station wagon called a Tradesman.

00:14:58.134 --> 00:15:02.961
Aw, two-door post.

00:15:02.961 --> 00:15:05.846
No, not like the Nomad with the swoopy pillar.

00:15:06.187 --> 00:15:10.313
Right, no, it's, yeah, it's Newbom's Piwagon.

00:15:12.405 --> 00:15:13.089
That's it.

00:15:13.089 --> 00:15:16.384
It's currently red and we sent it to.

00:15:16.384 --> 00:15:23.134
It had been a race car, super Stocker, but it was an old ladder bar car with you know had a Ladder bars.

00:15:23.214 --> 00:15:28.653
Yeah, I came here trying to get that name Jericho four speed.

00:15:28.653 --> 00:15:31.905
You know it has a clutch every year in India.

00:15:31.905 --> 00:15:32.649
I tried to buy the car.

00:15:32.649 --> 00:15:34.639
It went $60,000.

00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:39.519
It's not happening, right, unless you got $20,000 in the glove box not happening.

00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:44.590
So I told Jared, go over and tell him we'll give him $44,000 at rolling.

00:15:44.590 --> 00:15:45.320
I don't want the motor, the transmission.

00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:45.412
So I told Jared, go over and tell him we're giving him 44 at rolling.

00:15:45.412 --> 00:15:49.654
We don't want the motor, the transmission, anything.

00:15:49.654 --> 00:15:52.123
It had 265.

00:15:52.123 --> 00:15:57.289
Well, I have a 283, that's just new, really fast, and I have a new Liberty 4-speed.

00:15:57.289 --> 00:16:00.474
So if you run it in GT, you can run a Liberty clutchless.

00:16:00.474 --> 00:16:02.636
You leave with a clutch.

00:16:02.636 --> 00:16:04.259
Yeah, so it's going to have the 283.

00:16:04.278 --> 00:16:05.019
We sent it to you leave with a clutch.

00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:05.220
Yeah, yeah.

00:16:05.220 --> 00:16:06.820
So it's going to have the 283.

00:16:06.820 --> 00:16:13.966
We sent it to a place called PK's Racing Cars IN and he's back half of the whole car.

00:16:13.966 --> 00:16:15.745
He's doing the front suspension.

00:16:16.467 --> 00:16:18.885
He wrote so you're going to keep it a race car.

00:16:19.226 --> 00:16:20.029
Oh, yeah, okay.

00:16:20.029 --> 00:16:21.923
Now, it had nine-inch tires.

00:16:21.923 --> 00:16:25.948
I've got a picture on my phone of the axle he took out of it.

00:16:25.948 --> 00:16:26.710
It's this wide.

00:16:26.710 --> 00:16:28.653
The one he puts in it is this wide.

00:16:28.653 --> 00:16:29.134
Tubbed it.

00:16:29.134 --> 00:16:40.940
Yeah, they're tubbing it and slamming it to the ground and it's going to be a two-tone paint job.

00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:44.708
Where you know the big piece of stainless steel that goes from the headlight down to the bumper.

00:16:44.708 --> 00:16:47.037
So we're going to do that and we'll do one color above it and another color below it.

00:16:47.037 --> 00:16:47.879
It's really going to be something.

00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:55.828
So back there, where the window would be in the panel, that's back there, you're going to put Newbom's pie wagon on it.

00:16:55.828 --> 00:16:57.647
I'll have to do something about tamales.

00:16:57.647 --> 00:17:00.686
I'm pretty sure Newbom's tamale wagon.

00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.126
Do you remember in the movie the Jerk?

00:17:04.126 --> 00:17:07.046
Yes, when he was working at the gas station?

00:17:07.046 --> 00:17:13.752
Yes, and the three Mexican guys roll up in the lowered Chevy and give him the credit card.

00:17:13.752 --> 00:17:14.082
He goes.

00:17:14.082 --> 00:17:22.573
Thank you, mrs Newsom, I'll be right back, that's hilarious.

We always enjoy it.

00:17:30.750 --> 00:17:31.653
I'm looking forward.

00:17:31.653 --> 00:17:33.579
I hope Judd comes so you can interview him.

00:17:33.641 --> 00:17:44.663
I think that he's supposed to be here today and I saw an interview that Sheila sent me that he did on his big victory out at Long Beach, driving on the street.

00:17:44.663 --> 00:17:52.449
It had to be I know, I can't even imagine in a BMW, a BMW 4 Series.

00:17:53.843 --> 00:17:54.826
It looked bad to the bone.

00:17:54.826 --> 00:17:56.946
It's a factory race car.

00:17:56.946 --> 00:17:58.965
It's like a rocket ship.

00:18:00.901 --> 00:18:02.446
We're going to talk to him about it when he gets here.

00:18:03.060 --> 00:18:04.122
That's really exciting.

00:18:04.162 --> 00:18:04.942
It's great to see you.

00:18:04.942 --> 00:18:07.666
Hope we see you soon.

00:18:07.666 --> 00:18:10.089
We're going to do the Hot Rod Tour of Texas this week.

00:18:10.089 --> 00:18:12.212
Oh, really, it's actually this year.

00:18:12.212 --> 00:18:13.355
We're going to come through Houston.

00:18:13.355 --> 00:18:15.320
When does it start?

00:18:15.320 --> 00:18:16.022
It starts well.

00:18:16.022 --> 00:18:29.788
Thursday night is the big event down in Victoria, down in the town square, 300 cars, and then we make our way, uh, in the back roads on the way up to houston, I think on uh, it says friday starts friday, yeah, yeah.

00:18:29.887 --> 00:18:36.568
And then friday, we're going to wind up down by santa fe, I think, and then saturday, um, I don't know all.

00:18:36.568 --> 00:18:39.602
I can't remember all of the stops, so what are you driving, are you?

00:18:39.882 --> 00:18:41.144
I'm going to drive my corvette.

00:18:41.746 --> 00:18:51.237
Oh, oh, okay, yeah, and it's run what you brung kind of a thing Sold out and you know it's a pretty cool event.

00:18:51.377 --> 00:18:51.859
That's really good.

00:18:51.859 --> 00:18:54.407
I'd like to do one of those cross-country deals that they do.

00:18:54.407 --> 00:18:56.845
Yes, that's the thing about this one.

00:18:56.900 --> 00:19:03.828
It's a little bit shorter than that, so it actually starts, like you said, at 8 o'clock Friday morning, yeah, you know, and Sunday morning you're back home.

00:19:03.828 --> 00:19:07.434
I mean, sunday night they finish up and then you go home or do whatever you want.

00:19:08.582 --> 00:19:11.819
Oh, you want to do that Still 500 miles 488 miles is what they said it was going to be.

00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:13.000
If I did the cross country.

00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.803
I'd have to go out in advance and leave a car about every 300 miles.

00:19:15.803 --> 00:19:18.744
You can do that yeah.

00:19:18.805 --> 00:19:19.705
Yeah why not?

00:19:19.705 --> 00:19:20.226
Why not?

00:19:20.746 --> 00:19:21.106
We're great.

00:19:21.106 --> 00:19:22.627
It's good to see you again, you too.

The In Wheel Time Car Talk Show will be there too.

00:20:41.661 --> 00:20:43.067
We hope to see you then.

00:20:43.067 --> 00:20:43.909
Come on out.

00:20:43.909 --> 00:20:51.615
Be sure to follow the In Wheel Time crew when we join the Hot Rod Tour of Texas beginning next Thursday evening in Victoria.

In Wheel Time will be there to give you a taste of the three-day trek.

00:21:00.518 --> 00:21:06.571
You'll be able to get a feel of 300-plus cars traveling the back roads of Texas from Victoria to Madisonville.

00:21:06.571 --> 00:21:14.180
We hope you check into Facebook, youtube and InWheelTimecom for live updates as we take the Hot Rod Tour of Texas beginning next Thursday evening.

00:21:14.180 --> 00:21:15.060

As a matter of fact, thursday the 24th is actually the kickoff event at Town Square down there, and then Friday morning we get on the road and head toward the Houston area actually, and we'll wind up on Sunday up in Madisonville.

00:21:34.636 --> 00:21:39.477
There's a Braze Auto Museum up there, I think is what it's called.

00:21:39.477 --> 00:21:47.272
Anyway, it's going to be a great event and we'll be popping in and out of Facebook and YouTube and that sort of stuff throughout the event.

00:21:47.272 --> 00:21:48.912
So we hope that you'll look for us then.

00:21:48.912 --> 00:21:53.215
All right time now for the cruise and events calendars, and Jeffrey has that.

00:21:53.405 --> 00:21:53.907
I got it.

00:21:53.907 --> 00:21:54.570
I got it.

00:21:54.570 --> 00:21:55.606
So save the date.

00:21:55.606 --> 00:22:01.712
Alvin Rotary Club 51st Annual Frontier Day and Bike Show for our two wheel friends out there as well.

00:22:01.712 --> 00:22:06.155
It is the 26th of April from 7 am to 4.30, so it's a daily event.

00:22:06.155 --> 00:22:06.676
Very cool.

00:22:06.676 --> 00:22:10.711
145 South Disney Street in Alvin, disney Street.

00:22:10.711 --> 00:22:11.525
In Alvin, disney Street, disney Street.

00:22:11.525 --> 00:22:13.070
The Rotary Club invites you to this.

00:22:13.070 --> 00:22:19.317
It's the Alvin National Oak Park located at 118 South Magnolia in Alvin.

00:22:19.317 --> 00:22:25.117
Show promises to show about 63 cars, bikes, different classes, got trophies out there.

00:22:25.117 --> 00:22:32.192
Registration is exclusively online, only at alvinrotaryorg, so make sure you do that before you go out there.

00:22:32.192 --> 00:22:35.093
And then we got the car show at the turner chevrolet.

00:22:35.153 --> 00:22:35.914
It's the fifth annual.

00:22:35.914 --> 00:22:37.066
It's also on the 26th.

00:22:37.066 --> 00:22:39.068
It is 10 am to 3 pm.

00:22:39.068 --> 00:22:43.537
It's at 21001 crosby freeway in crosby, texas.

00:22:43.537 --> 00:22:47.229
Uh, the event takes place out there and it's going to be fun.

00:22:47.229 --> 00:22:52.398
Uh, categories include antique, classic muscle, modern muscle, all the good stuff.

00:22:52.398 --> 00:22:57.217
So you can actually check out TurnerChevroletCrosbycom to check that out.

00:22:57.217 --> 00:23:00.354
And then I got one more kind of local.

00:23:00.354 --> 00:23:03.112
It would be in Tomball Kids Car Meet.

00:23:03.112 --> 00:23:04.115
This one's pretty cool.

00:23:04.115 --> 00:23:06.333
I looked this one up and it looks like a nice event.

00:23:06.333 --> 00:23:16.977
They've got an area for the kids just for their power wheels, their go-karts, their pit bikes and a certain area that they can all play and do that and hang out and do their little mini car show.

00:23:16.977 --> 00:23:20.214
And then they've got the side for the adults, for the big boy toys and all that.

00:23:20.214 --> 00:23:28.266
So, other than that, as Don said, we're here at Loopy Tortilla, we've got Hot Rod Tour coming up, and then we've got Granberry in June, so hubba, hubba.

00:23:28.286 --> 00:23:41.681
Canberra in June, so hubba hubba, yeah, and if you want to see the 300 cars in procession with the Hot Rod Tour of Texas, I guess do we have the route.

00:23:43.105 --> 00:23:43.753
Do we know what the route is?

00:23:43.753 --> 00:23:44.564
I've got the route on my laptop.

00:23:44.564 --> 00:23:52.199
Yeah, I haven't plotted it out road to road, but I've got segmented times of where they'll be so since it's coming to Houston.

00:23:52.967 --> 00:24:02.828
I would suggest, if you want to see the 300 in a kind of cool parade, that you get a lawn chair and find a place that we go real slow through.

00:24:02.849 --> 00:24:06.085
Yeah, one of the stops is going to be Santa Fe, coming up, so we'll be down to Santa.

00:24:07.618 --> 00:24:08.265
Fe on Saturday.

00:24:08.265 --> 00:24:10.872
Saturday Is it Saturday, no Friday Friday.

00:24:11.253 --> 00:24:16.212
Friday we'll be at the Hack Winery, so you could just kind of hang out there and sip a little wine.

00:24:16.212 --> 00:24:19.628
There you go Red or rosé or what do they call that?

00:24:19.628 --> 00:24:21.836
Clear, clear, clear wine.

00:24:21.836 --> 00:24:25.049
That's my kind of hey, what are you drinking?

00:24:25.049 --> 00:24:27.137
I'm having some clear wine or something.

00:24:27.137 --> 00:24:27.704
There you go.

00:24:27.865 --> 00:24:30.248
Some of the stories making automotive headlines this week.

00:24:30.248 --> 00:24:41.619
While auto tariffs and a growing trade war between the US and China have grabbed much of the world's attention, some suppliers say the Trump administration's steel and aluminum tariffs are the cause of their biggest worries.

00:24:41.619 --> 00:24:42.340
Who knew?

00:24:42.340 --> 00:24:53.019
25% tariffs cover the metals themselves and a list of derivative products made of foreign steel and aluminum, including many auto parts.

00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:58.938
Importers must determine the foreign steel or aluminum content in those products.

00:24:58.938 --> 00:25:01.913
Then the value is taxed at 25%.

00:25:01.913 --> 00:25:06.345
Calculating the number is difficult and time-consuming, as you can imagine.

00:25:06.786 --> 00:25:18.961
Companies sometimes need to drill several layers deep into their supply chains to figure out the source of steel or aluminum in their products and how much those metals are worth.

00:25:18.961 --> 00:25:23.237
And another complication the list of tariffed products is not static.

00:25:23.237 --> 00:25:29.272
It is expected to grow in the coming months, so it's a very complicated thing.

00:25:29.272 --> 00:25:59.869
We've had many discussions since all of this began and we've talked to some experts about it, and the bottom line is it's a very layered, complicated formula that they put on tariff countries that make cars and they're being the 25% Now.

00:25:59.869 --> 00:26:01.054
China is a whole other thing.

00:26:01.204 --> 00:26:08.919
As a matter of fact, I am driving and drove a Buick recently.

00:26:08.919 --> 00:26:10.170
It's made in China.

00:26:10.170 --> 00:26:11.611
I think your car is made in China.

00:26:11.611 --> 00:26:16.144
Yeah, so that's 145% tariff if it's not on the ground.

00:26:16.204 --> 00:26:17.048
It's on the south side of.

00:26:17.088 --> 00:26:19.630
China though South side, so there's a discount for that.

00:26:19.932 --> 00:26:20.071
Yeah.

00:26:21.266 --> 00:26:28.464
Ford Motor Company has halted shipments of SUVs and pickups and sports cars to China in the wake of President Trump's tariffs.

00:26:28.464 --> 00:26:41.218
The Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter, the company this week halted shipments of its F-150 Raptors, mustangs and Michigan-built Bronco SUVs, as well as Kentucky-made Lincoln Navigators, to China.

00:26:41.218 --> 00:26:48.575
China's retaliatory tariffs in response to US import taxes have seen these vehicles face a tariff as high as 150 percent.

00:26:48.575 --> 00:26:49.656
It's a mess.

00:26:49.656 --> 00:26:59.678
Ford also exports US-built engines and transmissions to China, which the report says will continue despite the pause on exports of assembled vehicles.

00:26:59.678 --> 00:27:10.718
Its Lincoln Nautilus model, which is manufactured in China, is also expected to have continued shipments despite heavy tariffs, the report added.

00:27:10.718 --> 00:27:17.895
So I don't know whether the company is going to suck up all of that and keep the price the same, or are they going to try to pass it through?

00:27:17.895 --> 00:27:21.273
I can't imagine they'd pass a 145% tariff through.

00:27:21.294 --> 00:27:21.955
They're going to try.

00:27:22.645 --> 00:27:24.593
But I would imagine that they're going to try.

00:27:24.593 --> 00:27:37.577
And finally, honda Motor Company is considering switching some car production from Mexico and Canada to the US, aiming for 90% of cars sold in the country to be made locally in response to the new tariffs.

00:27:37.577 --> 00:27:49.464
In the weeks before the new US levy went into effect, reuters had already reported that Honda plans to make its next-generation Civic Hybrid in Indiana instead of Mexico to avoid potential tariffs.

00:27:49.464 --> 00:27:54.530
Us was Honda's biggest market last year, accounting for nearly 40% of global sales.

00:27:54.530 --> 00:27:59.673
Automaker sold 1.4 million vehicles, including Acura models, in the US last year.

00:27:59.673 --> 00:28:04.730
It imported about two-fifths of those cars from Canada or Mexico.00:28:05.612 --> 00:28:06.453

Pretty on the dais, is that what it is?00:30:21.516 --> 00:30:21.596


And.00:30:21.635 --> 00:30:23.161

Okay, we already did that.00:30:24.295 --> 00:30:26.001


So we're going to have the racing calendar.00:30:26.001 --> 00:30:27.461


Mars has this week in auto history.00:30:27.461 --> 00:30:30.265


I'll get you caught up on the stories making automotive news headlines.00:30:30.265 --> 00:30:33.134


We may have the Hemings Soul Car Roundup.00:30:33.134 --> 00:30:36.003


We may have some of the recalls.00:30:36.695 --> 00:30:38.020


We've got to get participants in here.00:30:38.020 --> 00:30:40.061


Well, you know, I'm not worried about it.00:30:40.275 --> 00:30:47.444


I think that people are showing up right and left and we'll find somebody to talk to, so in the meantime and in between time while we're doing.00:30:47.444 --> 00:30:50.724


Oh well, first of all, let me introduce you to the staff.00:30:50.724 --> 00:30:56.396


This will be we always need more Jeff Zekin Yep and staff.00:30:56.396 --> 00:31:00.314


This would be we Always Need More Jeff Zekin Yep and over here, we always have David Ainsley.00:31:00.314 --> 00:31:02.261


Mr Mars is out gallivanting around.00:31:02.261 --> 00:31:06.144


He's, I think, what is the definition of gallivanting.00:31:06.455 --> 00:31:09.345


Just randomly going, but he's at the kissing booth.00:31:09.345 --> 00:31:11.178


I think he's sitting at the kissing booth, good God.00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:11.861


Gross.00:31:11.861 --> 00:31:13.961


That is disgusting.00:31:15.756 --> 00:31:17.221


He's got lipstick on his neck.00:31:17.221 --> 00:31:17.643


There you go.00:31:18.237 --> 00:31:21.021


Oh, we're not paying any attention to him, so I've got some recalls to tell you about.00:31:22.736 --> 00:31:24.181


Hey, did you come out of the?00:31:24.221 --> 00:31:24.843


kissing booth.00:31:24.843 --> 00:31:27.515


Mars, you came out of the kissing booth.00:31:27.515 --> 00:31:28.580


Did you set up the kissing booth?00:31:28.580 --> 00:31:29.950


Okay, well whatever.00:31:29.970 --> 00:31:30.775


The dunking booth.00:31:31.556 --> 00:31:39.089


Okay, so I think every 2021 Audi known to man is being recalled because the instrument panel display may fail.00:31:39.089 --> 00:31:43.541


So if you have a 2021 Audi of any kind, what about?00:31:43.561 --> 00:31:47.028


an any An any An Audi, an any Got it.00:31:47.028 --> 00:31:54.480


Ford Motor Company recalling 148,266.1 vehicles as part of a two US recalls.00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:55.701


Let's see recalls.00:31:55.701 --> 00:31:56.181


Let's see.00:31:56.181 --> 00:32:04.547


First one 123,000 may see loss of brake function due to brake fluid leak.00:32:04.547 --> 00:32:08.729


The second one is 224,000.00:32:08.729 --> 00:32:16.076


655 vehicles that potentially have a software issue that could lead to a loss of drive power, in other words, the motor quits.00:32:16.076 --> 00:32:21.228


So there's that Recall involving a software issue that could lead to a loss of drive power, in other words, the motor quits.00:32:21.228 --> 00:32:23.031


So there's that recall involving the software issue.00:32:23.031 --> 00:32:24.273


2025 ford explorer.00:32:24.273 --> 00:32:28.359


And the other one is the master cylinder that I told you about.00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:35.469


Also, a rear view camera image may not display Porsche Macan Electric 24-25.00:32:39.875 --> 00:32:41.538


Occupant classification may turn off the airbag.00:32:41.538 --> 00:32:44.682


Porsche Taycan 2022-23.00:32:44.682 --> 00:32:46.242


And the Audi again.00:32:46.242 --> 00:32:50.449


Another Audi Rear-view camera may show blurry image, of course.00:32:50.449 --> 00:32:52.310


I guess it depends on how much you've had to drink.00:32:52.310 --> 00:32:59.366


I was thinking the same thing the Audi Q6 e-tron and the Audi SQ6 e-tron for 2025.00:32:59.366 --> 00:33:00.368


I don't even know what those are.00:33:00.368 --> 00:33:02.221


It's the electric one, is it?00:33:02.221 --> 00:33:02.682


I guess?00:33:02.682 --> 00:33:03.929


I don't know the e-tron.00:33:04.089 --> 00:33:07.063


You would think so yeah the electric one, but I was thinking it had something to do with a movie.00:33:07.063 --> 00:33:09.857


No, that's Tron.00:33:09.857 --> 00:33:11.981


Okay, just wanted to make sure.00:33:11.981 --> 00:33:15.868


Well, mr Mars, did you find somebody to talk to?00:33:15.868 --> 00:33:16.490

It's a pleasure to meet you, a 58 Fury, plymouth, fury.00:34:21.902 --> 00:34:23.286


Yes, sir, pleasure to be here, thanks.00:34:25.155 --> 00:34:29.099


You know I've seen that car around you go to lots of car events.00:34:29.882 --> 00:34:34.463


Yeah, this is the first one I've been to, probably in about six or seven months.00:34:34.463 --> 00:34:42.356


Um, this is the first one I've been to, probably in about six or seven months, but uh, but yeah, it's been around.00:34:42.356 --> 00:34:44.123


I've had it since 2007 and, uh, restoration took about four years.00:34:44.143 --> 00:34:45.630


Uh, so it's been restored since the beginning of 2012.00:34:45.630 --> 00:34:45.972


What, what was it?00:34:45.972 --> 00:34:50.300


What was it Something different other than the Plymouth Fury beforehand and a special trim level?00:34:50.300 --> 00:34:51.221


Or was it?00:34:51.221 --> 00:34:53.923


Did you get it off of a racetrack or out of a junkyard?00:34:55.445 --> 00:35:02.965


I found I was looking in Hemings Motor News back in the day and I was looking for a 57 or 58.00:35:02.965 --> 00:35:06.400


I wanted to convert it into a car like the movie, so always wanted it.00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:22.469


So I found one in Long Beach and it was in pieces but it was at a body shop and it came from Ventura, california, so it had no rust on it, all the floor pans were good and and it had a 392 hemi in it which those cars didn't have.00:35:22.469 --> 00:35:27.311


Um, that only the 300s, the new yorkers and the imperials back then had those motors.00:35:27.311 --> 00:35:33.648


So I don't know, somebody may have put it in, or maybe it was a the uh, the guy that owned the body shop said it.00:35:33.648 --> 00:35:39.443


It uh the owner of the dealership, like where the car came from, that he owned that car.00:35:39.614 --> 00:35:44.186


So maybe he may have swapped it out or did some kind of special option.00:35:44.534 --> 00:35:48.567


It's got the old Chrysler Firepower valve covers on it.00:35:48.567 --> 00:35:52.963


It doesn't say Hemi, because that's what they called it before they actually started using the Hemi brand name.00:35:52.963 --> 00:36:02.822


That's what caught my attention, because I'd never seen one in the live world I don't believe I have either yeah, it's, it's a pretty cool what kind of transmissions you got in it.00:36:02.844 --> 00:36:08.320


Um, it's got the uh, uh torque flight, three speed torque flight and it's the original cast iron.00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:10.646


It's you, it's uh.00:36:10.646 --> 00:36:16.543


Back then it was impossible to modify like an aluminum transmission on that motor.00:36:16.543 --> 00:36:19.362


Now they have kits for it, but it's still.00:36:19.503 --> 00:36:20.585


Oh God, don't change it.00:36:20.715 --> 00:36:21.818


Yeah, I did, I'm not.00:36:21.818 --> 00:36:23.735


It runs great, can you?00:36:23.775 --> 00:36:25.563


imagine taking it to a transmission shop.00:36:25.563 --> 00:36:29.686


Hey, could you change the transmission fluid and put a new filter in it?00:36:29.686 --> 00:36:34.583


For me, we don't even know what that is.00:36:34.842 --> 00:36:35.284


What is that?00:36:35.284 --> 00:36:39.518


Yeah, yeah, the guy that restored it.00:36:39.518 --> 00:36:42.085


He maintains it as well.00:36:42.085 --> 00:36:47.565


He's a really good friend of mine and he did all the paint work, the mechanical, everything on it.00:36:47.565 --> 00:36:50.833


He did a really good job.00:36:50.833 --> 00:36:58.777


I mean, it's won best in class at autorama seven different times, so it's I've and I mean what class does it, does it fall?00:36:58.777 --> 00:37:03.485


In uh, 50, it's 50s um conservative hardtop.00:37:03.485 --> 00:37:10.492


It's not 50s original because it's got the motor, the different motor, yeah the interior.00:37:10.532 --> 00:37:10.793


Is that?00:37:10.793 --> 00:37:15.505


The interior dom would find this real interesting, but is that the original type of interior?00:37:15.525 --> 00:37:19.340


Yes, yeah, so SMS Auto Fabrics in Oregon.00:37:19.340 --> 00:37:24.530


You know they closed their doors and I'm sorry.00:37:24.530 --> 00:37:35.684


Sms Auto Fabrics bought all of the old auto fabrics from Chrysler when they closed one of their interior factories and they had all these old rolls so they bought all the rolls.00:37:35.684 --> 00:37:39.193


So that roll of, so that roll of fabric is actually kind of like a houndstooth, isn't it?00:37:39.393 --> 00:37:40.637


I mean, it's kind of what it looks like.00:37:40.637 --> 00:37:41.780


It's like a brown.00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:48.221


Look at it brown with a gold flake in it, yeah, and then the kind of off-white vinyl interior.00:37:48.221 --> 00:37:50.143


It's fury interior, yeah.00:37:50.244 --> 00:37:55.784


So I, I, I just I think that's fascinating and it's a, it's a great looking car.00:37:55.784 --> 00:37:57.579


How does it drive?00:37:58.501 --> 00:38:00.646


It's great, it just floats, it, floats.00:38:01.615 --> 00:38:02.197


So does it.00:38:02.197 --> 00:38:06.067


It's got the automatic transmission and it doesn't have drum brakes in it.00:38:06.856 --> 00:38:06.996


Um.00:38:06.996 --> 00:38:10.695


I changed the front brakes to disc rear steel drum yeah.00:38:10.894 --> 00:38:18.697


It just it made all I the drum brakes for for that car, finding drums that aren't warped and they don't.00:38:18.697 --> 00:38:20.621


They don't make make them anymore.00:38:20.621 --> 00:38:26.460


So you know I I went through four or five different brake drums and they were all were warped.00:38:26.460 --> 00:38:27.724


So I was like you know what?00:38:27.724 --> 00:38:31.960


There was a disc brake kit that a company made up north northeast somewhere.00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:35.186


So I told my guy, just just put disc brakes on it.00:38:35.186 --> 00:38:35.949


I'm glad I did.00:38:35.949 --> 00:38:40.045


Yeah, they're not power, but you know it does still better it still works a lot better.00:38:40.126 --> 00:38:41.478


Yeah is that power steering?00:38:41.818 --> 00:38:46.456


no, no, as though you know back in the day yeah, just the big steering wheel yeah back in the day.00:38:46.496 --> 00:38:49.885


Well, stan was talking about the 55, well, and the 41 here.00:38:49.885 --> 00:38:51.268


Yeah, the uh the packard.00:38:51.268 --> 00:38:58.548


No power steering, and power steering was really a kind of a 50s kind of thing when it started really getting a foothold.00:38:58.548 --> 00:39:05.670


And I'll tell you what man those big cars, as Stan said, once you get rolling.00:39:06.293 --> 00:39:15.889


it's not that big of a deal, yeah, but when you're pulling into a parking lot you almost have to be in shape to park the thing.00:39:16.369 --> 00:39:21.240


Yeah, I'll tell you and clearly you are, he doesn't go to the gym.00:39:21.315 --> 00:39:22.335


He just goes for driving around.00:39:22.474 --> 00:39:23.440


Yeah, I just drive it around.00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:25.722


It's my steering workout.00:39:26.376 --> 00:39:27.827


So what is your everyday driver?00:39:27.827 --> 00:39:28.755


Just out of curiosity.00:39:29.175 --> 00:39:34.166


I have a 2007 Dodge 3500 Dually.00:39:34.166 --> 00:39:38.639


I have a construction remodeling company, so that's my daily driver.00:39:40.344 --> 00:39:43.302


Interesting and a diesel?00:39:43.302 --> 00:39:48.402


Yeah, it's a diesel, and have you had any problems with it?00:39:48.402 --> 00:39:51.302


I have to ask these questions because I just find it fascinating.00:39:51.302 --> 00:39:58.983


Here's a guy that has a really cool car that pretty much stays in the garage unless it comes to an event like this, or shows it.00:39:58.983 --> 00:40:02.422


So what do you drive every day?00:40:02.702 --> 00:40:02.884


Yeah.00:40:05.155 --> 00:40:07.543


Somebody would ask you what you drive every day Mars.00:40:08.835 --> 00:40:10.318


I would tell them my truck yeah.00:40:10.940 --> 00:40:11.742


What year is your truck?00:40:11.742 --> 00:40:12.605


It's a 2015.00:40:12.605 --> 00:40:13.748


A 2015.00:40:15.414 --> 00:40:17.862


Yeah, I was just talking to the guy that's going to join us here in a little while about.00:40:17.862 --> 00:40:22.969


You know, it's really nice to say we're going to get a panel van and we're going to paint it up and it's going to be a 47 ford or whatever.00:40:22.969 --> 00:40:29.085


But we put our gear in it and thursday we head to victoria and it breaks, what do you do?00:40:29.085 --> 00:40:29.706


You know?00:40:29.706 --> 00:40:34.804


So we, we still drive something fairly late model yeah, yeah, yeah, no, yeah, no, I get it.00:40:35.815 --> 00:40:41.144


Well, do you have a list of events that you go to throughout the year?00:40:41.826 --> 00:40:42.447


It's random.00:40:42.748 --> 00:40:43.168


It is.00:40:43.369 --> 00:40:43.690


Yeah.00:40:44.275 --> 00:40:45.778


Have you been here before with that car?00:40:46.641 --> 00:40:47.885


A couple times, have you?00:40:47.885 --> 00:40:51.164


Yeah, it's probably been a year, I guess, yeah.00:40:52.317 --> 00:40:53.822


How did you find out about this event?00:40:53.822 --> 00:40:56.117


Through the In Wheel Time Car Talk Show, probably, I guess.00:40:56.117 --> 00:40:56.621


Yeah, yeah, how did you find out about this event?00:40:56.621 --> 00:40:56.608


Um?00:40:56.608 --> 00:40:56.947


Through the in-wheel time car talk show?00:40:57.007 --> 00:40:57.987


probably that's the answer.00:40:58.168 --> 00:41:02.556


See right here yeah I answered it for you, you know I'm good friends with stan and judd.00:41:02.556 --> 00:41:03.679


Are you as well?00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:07.269


I'm so sorry yeah that makes two yeah00:41:07.650 --> 00:41:09.255


two friends exactly.00:41:09.255 --> 00:41:18.949


Well, um, it's, it's great to talk to you and, uh, I, uh, I, I could sit to talk to you and I could sit here and talk to you about every aspect of that car.00:41:18.949 --> 00:41:27.967


Yeah, there's some good stories behind it, and it took four years to put it together because you bought it in pieces.00:41:28.675 --> 00:41:29.900


I mean it was all together.00:41:29.900 --> 00:41:33.079


It was missing a bunch of trim pieces so I had to.00:41:33.079 --> 00:41:40.518


When I bought it I had it shipped to a guy in Redding California who was recommended and kind of.00:41:40.518 --> 00:41:43.367


You know the nightmare restoration story.00:41:43.367 --> 00:41:57.077


He worked on it for about a year and a half and went broke and so I had it shipped back here and that's when Peter, my buddy, he restored it from there Because those trim pieces are stainless steel, are they not?00:41:57.699 --> 00:42:03.856


uh, some are pop metal, some are stainless steel, um and uh, some are anodized aluminum, like the.00:42:03.856 --> 00:42:10.896


Like, the waffle trim on the side is all anodized, the grills anodized, um, so so yeah it's.00:42:10.896 --> 00:42:19.425


I had to fly to Sacramento, rent a car and drive to there was this really huge scrapyard in Anderson, california.00:42:19.425 --> 00:42:28.726


While it was in California, I would fly there about once every four or five months and I'd go to the scrapyard and get Dig through the.00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:40.405


Yeah, it was full of late 50s Chryslers, really yeah, it was all 50s Buicks and 50s Chrysler products.00:42:40.405 --> 00:42:42.440


Huge scrapyard.00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:44.623


It was pretty cool.00:42:45.454 --> 00:42:59.931


Well, you know I'm sure that you've watched it the television show that the guy goes through all the junkyards and picks out cars and tells you about the car and what it would cost in today's the car, yeah, and what and what it would cost and to, in today's terms, of fixing it up and that sort of stuff.00:42:59.931 --> 00:43:03.480


Most of these are beyond repair but uh, it's truly the.00:43:03.480 --> 00:43:06.646


The history of it all is truly amazing.00:43:06.646 --> 00:43:14.896


When you go to a junkyard I haven't been to a junkyard in years, yeah and uh and to go and visit it's kind of like going to a cemetery it is.00:43:15.036 --> 00:43:16.217


Yeah, it's kind of e going to a cemetery, it is.00:43:16.257 --> 00:43:21.240


Yeah, it's kind of eerie, but it's cool it is Until you see the car that somebody clearly died in.00:43:21.240 --> 00:43:22.543


There's no way they could survive.00:43:23.242 --> 00:43:25.505


And then you go ooh yeah.00:43:25.885 --> 00:43:31.070


But the back half of the car is still good and people pick and choose what they want off the car.00:43:31.070 --> 00:43:33.472


The junkyard business is a mystery to me.00:43:33.795 --> 00:43:35.088


Yeah, off the car it's a the junkyard business is a mystery to me.00:43:35.088 --> 00:43:47.905


Yeah, yeah, the, the guy that owned the junkyard, and and, uh and anderson, he was a, he was a unique fellow, he was well, you have to be the junkyard he was in the 60s and you know he just he had the you know big facial hair.00:43:47.905 --> 00:43:54.626


He just he was about six foot six and and rail thin and he had his constant runny nose.00:43:56.096 --> 00:43:56.157


Oh.00:43:56.197 --> 00:43:57.554


God, every time I'd go see him, his nose was always running.00:43:57.574 --> 00:44:01.358


He was growing cocaine bushes out there around back His nose was always running.00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:02.382


Yeah, lord.00:44:04.434 --> 00:44:07.422


Well, at any rate, hey, thanks for stopping by.00:44:07.623 --> 00:44:08.907

I was just thinking that myself.00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:08.123


All right, well, fine.00:45:08.123 --> 00:45:12.467

Welcome back to the In-Wheel Time Car Talk Show Today coming to you from Tailpipes and Tacos out here at the Loopy Tortilla Tex-Mex in Katy.00:46:50.023 --> 00:46:53.280


The Kingsland exit is closed.00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:57.782


So if you're coming up from the south, from the West Park area, it's 59.00:46:57.782 --> 00:46:59.536


What exit is it that we take?00:46:59.536 --> 00:47:03.652


Highland, highland Knolls, I think it is if you come northbound.00:47:03.652 --> 00:47:07.994


If you come southbound, be sure and get off at the I-10 feeder.00:47:07.994 --> 00:47:14.358


Then come down the feeder and take the Kingsland Boulevard exit right next to it.00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:17.121


Okay, you got the Easter Bunny just arrived.00:47:17.822 --> 00:47:19.822


Oh, it's not even a scary one either.00:47:19.822 --> 00:47:20.684


No, that's good.00:47:20.963 --> 00:47:23.646


He's getting ready for Easter tomorrow at 420.00:47:23.646 --> 00:47:24.626


Then you know he'll be ready.00:47:24.987 --> 00:47:26.387


Yeah, very nice, all right.00:47:26.387 --> 00:47:29.478


So time now for this hour's car review.00:47:29.478 --> 00:47:33.840


I had the opportunity to drive the 2025 Toyota Corolla.00:47:33.840 --> 00:47:36.409


You know I don't get too many Corollas.00:47:36.409 --> 00:47:40.438


I don't get, you know, the entry-level car.00:47:40.438 --> 00:47:41.840


This is it.00:47:41.840 --> 00:47:44.710


Well, kind of so.00:47:44.710 --> 00:47:48.199


Final assembly location for this is Blue Springs, mississippi.00:47:48.199 --> 00:48:00.722


All right, I have actually been to that plant and I've seen them stamp the sheet metal in that plant and then assemble the entire vehicle and see it roll out the other end within a day.00:48:00.722 --> 00:48:08.364


Anyway, available trim levels are LE, se, fx and XSE.00:48:08.364 --> 00:48:16.329


I have the FX, which is one notch below the top of the line Compact sedan seats, five people, redesigned in 2018.00:48:16.650 --> 00:48:23.543


You know, toyota doesn't do a lot of redesigns on a very popular and successful car.00:48:23.543 --> 00:48:24.585


This is one of them.00:48:24.585 --> 00:48:25.994


So you think, well, it's getting long in the tooth.00:48:25.994 --> 00:48:29.536


No, they've had updates and it really does look good.00:48:29.536 --> 00:48:33.838


Attractive front fascia with large open-mouth grille.00:48:33.838 --> 00:48:37.938


Very modern looking Sleek fastback roof design Cheats the wind.00:48:37.938 --> 00:48:40.936


Unremarkable rear fascia.00:48:40.936 --> 00:48:43.777


These cars all look the same these days.00:48:43.777 --> 00:48:50.750


I mean, what happened to the fins Wheels determined by the trim level, but they're all good looking.00:48:50.750 --> 00:48:53.960


They don't have hubcaps and wheel covers anymore.00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:55.032


They're all aluminum wheels.00:48:55.032 --> 00:48:57.400


What could use improvement.00:48:57.400 --> 00:49:01.340


Like I said, the overall design is getting a little long in the tooth.00:49:01.340 --> 00:49:08.521


Like I said, it has also been updated, so the car looks fresh and it looks new.00:49:10.050 --> 00:49:15.842


Interior highlights Contemporary dash design with simple and easy-to-use controls.00:49:15.842 --> 00:49:20.280


We have the optional 10.5-inch screen with simple functions.00:49:20.280 --> 00:49:24.981


Cloth seats seem rugged and comfy.00:49:24.981 --> 00:49:28.300


Rear legroom is tight but it is a compact car.00:49:28.300 --> 00:49:31.880


It's acceptable in the back seat in this small sedan.00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:36.536


Trunk room is adequate Pass-through rear seat.00:49:36.536 --> 00:49:39.813


What I liked the way it fits.00:49:39.813 --> 00:49:41.396


It fits.00:49:41.396 --> 00:49:43.481


What could use improvement?00:49:43.481 --> 00:49:52.722


The noise can be intrusive on the highway with that droning engine, but it's a little bitty four-cylinder engine and it does get a little noisy and rumbly.00:49:52.722 --> 00:49:55.277


But remember, this is kind of an entry-level car.00:49:55.277 --> 00:50:02.576


Two-liter, four-cylinder, 169 horsepower, 151 pound-feet of torque Through a CVT transmission.00:50:02.576 --> 00:50:04.000


It is a front-wheel drive car.00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:09.016


31 miles per gallon, city Highway 39.00:50:09.016 --> 00:50:11.329


Wow, combined 34.00:50:11.329 --> 00:50:16.402


I got 33.4 miles per gallon over 429.5 miles.00:50:16.402 --> 00:50:19.438


What I liked about it clearly is the mileage.00:50:19.438 --> 00:50:20.521


What could use improvement?00:50:20.521 --> 00:50:26.842


The CVT transmission does get a little bothersome at times.00:50:26.842 --> 00:50:29.295


Oh, thank you very much.00:50:29.295 --> 00:50:29.898


Is that for me?00:50:29.898 --> 00:50:30.791


Okay?00:50:30.791 --> 00:50:33.773


Well, I'll have a sip as soon as Boy, that's a really.00:50:33.773 --> 00:50:34.615


What is that?00:50:34.615 --> 00:50:35.719


What is that?00:50:37.130 --> 00:50:40.019


That's the yellow Daytona.00:50:40.019 --> 00:50:41.615


That's the Daytona.00:50:43.375 --> 00:50:44.710


We just had him on as a guest.00:50:44.710 --> 00:50:46.336


Wow, that's a really cool-looking car.00:50:46.336 --> 00:50:50.179


You have to put a headset on for us to hear you there, Mr Morris.00:50:51.050 --> 00:50:52.096


David's got to turn me on.00:50:52.096 --> 00:50:54.992


It's a little early in the morning, David.00:50:55.594 --> 00:50:57.500


I've heard these things about you before.00:50:57.500 --> 00:51:04.282


What I liked about the ride and handling it's a comfortable, easy ride.00:51:04.282 --> 00:51:05.737


What gives you improvement?00:51:05.737 --> 00:51:11.097


This is not a corner carver, it's a Toyota Corolla.00:51:11.097 --> 00:51:12.474


You're not going to race the car.00:51:12.474 --> 00:51:13.358


It's a Corolla carver.00:51:13.358 --> 00:51:14.815


It's a Corolla carver.00:51:14.815 --> 00:51:18.860


So don't think that this is going to be some sort of high-performance car.00:51:18.860 --> 00:51:19.882


This is not.00:51:19.882 --> 00:51:23.190


Base trim price was $26,500.00:51:23.190 --> 00:51:25.291


Prices tested was $30,000.00:51:25.291 --> 00:51:26.592


Base trim price was $26,500.00:51:26.592 --> 00:51:27.472


Prices tested was $30,000.00:51:27.472 --> 00:51:31.833


The base model price, which was kind of surprising $22,325 for the base model Toyota Corolla.00:51:31.833 --> 00:51:32.373


No, it's not.00:51:32.373 --> 00:51:33.775


So the competitors?00:51:33.775 --> 00:51:35.016


Clearly the Honda Civic.00:51:35.016 --> 00:51:38.898


It starts at $25,550.00:51:38.898 --> 00:51:43.400


The Hyundai Elantra starts at $23,575.00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:48.483


And then its direct competitor, the Nissan Sentra, is 22, 290.00:51:48.483 --> 00:51:50.224


What about the Buick Invista?00:51:50.224 --> 00:51:54.005


That is not a competitor, but it could be.00:51:54.005 --> 00:51:56.166


You could call it that I'm going to.00:51:56.646 --> 00:52:04.222


Over the years we've had a couple of Corollas in the family, the kids buying small back when they were small cars, and they still have them, and they're a million miles.00:52:04.222 --> 00:52:06.117


No, not yet, but we did teach one of them.00:52:06.117 --> 00:52:08.498


That's how they learned to drive a manual transmission.00:52:08.498 --> 00:52:10.896


It was a four-cylinder with a four-speed in it.00:52:11.237 --> 00:52:11.416


Yeah.00:52:12.219 --> 00:52:12.961


And she picked it out.00:52:12.961 --> 00:52:14.938


She couldn't drive it, but she said that's the one I want.00:52:15.070 --> 00:52:20.936


Well, you know, that's like Katie's Ford Focus with the five-speed manual transmission in it.00:52:20.936 --> 00:52:23.500


Black standard, I mean, there's nothing.00:52:23.500 --> 00:52:26.262


Crank windows, crank windows in it.00:52:26.262 --> 00:52:31.731


Two-door, black Beige cloth interior.00:52:31.731 --> 00:52:32.211


Hey, you know.00:52:32.211 --> 00:52:35.356


Hey, she still has it and won't get rid of it.00:52:35.356 --> 00:52:37.219


She just bought a brand-new Tesla.00:52:37.219 --> 00:52:37.778


Can I say that?00:52:37.778 --> 00:52:38.179


On the air?00:52:38.179 --> 00:52:38.760


I think so.00:52:39.041 --> 00:52:42.905


Okay, she hasn't got anybody to paint at her or anything.00:52:43.949 --> 00:52:44.411


No, not yet.00:52:44.411 --> 00:52:49.831


I don't think she hangs out in crowds like that anymore, but anyway, all right.00:52:49.831 --> 00:52:51.918


So that's the review of the Toyota Corolla.00:52:51.918 --> 00:52:53.335


Jeff has the Motor Minute.00:52:53.335 --> 00:52:54.574


All right, here we go.00:52:55.909 --> 00:52:59.721


Well, guess who won the first NHRA title in his career.00:52:59.721 --> 00:53:02.789


Mr Tony Stewart did that at the four wide nationals in Las Vegas.00:53:03.030 --> 00:53:06.177


Yeah, that's pretty cool yeah yeah, yep, put him behind the wheel and there's nothing.00:53:06.177 --> 00:53:07.059


Really, he can't drive.00:53:07.059 --> 00:53:15.097


Tony's, the ultimate iron man of motorsports, smoke, just earned his first win in nhra top fuel four wide, las vegas.00:53:15.097 --> 00:53:18.764


Not only did smoke win, but he did it at four wide.00:53:18.764 --> 00:53:22.539


Like we just said, he is the husband of the wife, leah pruitt.00:53:22.539 --> 00:53:29.438


They decided to start a family, so she got out of the car, he got, got in it, he did all his testing and he's doing very well at it.00:53:29.438 --> 00:53:31.516


So congrats to Tony.00:53:31.516 --> 00:53:36.081


He did a 317.42 mile per hour run and he took it all.00:53:36.081 --> 00:53:38.356


So it was step by step and he got it done.00:53:38.356 --> 00:53:41.992


There you go, by the way, you know the Easter Bunny is here.00:53:42.231 --> 00:53:43.313


Easter Bunny, we're going to get him on the air.00:53:43.333 --> 00:53:43.813


He's right out there.00:53:43.813 --> 00:53:44.735


We're going to get him on the air.00:53:44.876 --> 00:53:45.436


Does he talk?00:53:45.697 --> 00:53:46.117


I don't know.00:53:46.117 --> 00:53:47.539


We'll go find out Well that's okay.00:53:47.579 --> 00:53:49.382


We don't have to have him on right now.00:53:49.382 --> 00:53:51.304


There's another Easter Bunny sitting right there.00:53:51.304 --> 00:54:00.416


Yep, yep, I did want to.00:54:00.416 --> 00:54:07.402


I did have a couple of things that I have decided to put together for us today, which one is that.00:54:07.583 --> 00:54:08.284


Do I have it?00:54:08.284 --> 00:54:11.407


No, I have it, no, no you have nothing, okay.00:54:11.487 --> 00:54:17.862


Clearly, this is the time of year when many parents are thinking about buying a used vehicle for their teen drivers.00:54:17.862 --> 00:54:23.690


The vehicle may be a graduation gift or a needed set of wheels for a summer job or trip to college.00:54:23.690 --> 00:54:27.639


These days, suvs are a common choice because of their sales popularity.00:54:27.639 --> 00:54:28.922


But which one to get?00:54:28.922 --> 00:54:35.715


Edmunds Auto Experts rounded up five used SUV recommendations for your teen driver and I thought I'd bring them to you.00:54:35.715 --> 00:54:41.842


Last Generation Equinox is the top compact SUV value.00:54:41.842 --> 00:54:46.202


It's affordably priced and has roomy seating, a smooth ride and useful tech features.00:54:46.202 --> 00:54:58.759


Standard teen driver feature, for example, can remind young drivers to buckle up, and it limits stereo volume and lets parents monitor their driving habits something I'm sure that they're looking forward to Look for.00:54:58.759 --> 00:55:05.356


Picking up an Equinox is pretty easy, because it didn't change much from 2018 to 2024.00:55:05.356 --> 00:55:07.983


A lot of Equinox inventory to pick from too.00:55:07.983 --> 00:55:11.860


Consider a 2019 and later model to get newer infotainment system.00:55:11.860 --> 00:55:16.659


The pricing is somewhere between $14,000 and $20,000.00:55:16.659 --> 00:55:17.402


Oh my God.00:55:18.813 --> 00:55:25.056


I hope that everybody can see that thing, Marz is over here, splayed out on an iron horse.00:55:25.056 --> 00:55:30.280


Sporty pick is the Mazda CX-5.00:55:30.280 --> 00:55:35.262


Lively, handling, high-quality interior make the CX-5 a fun, compact SUV.00:55:35.262 --> 00:55:46.215


And while sporty performance isn't a priority for most parents, going with the CX-5 will neatly circumvent any complaints about an SUV being boring to drive, and that it is not, and I can vouch for that.00:55:46.215 --> 00:55:57.617


Other high points include excellent crash test safety ratings and a high predicted RepairPal reliability score, pricing Somewhere between $16,000 and $20,000.00:55:57.617 --> 00:56:01.952


Pretty good, is your teen an outdoorsy type?00:56:01.952 --> 00:56:12.818


Now say what you will about this vehicle, and I have a pilot that has informed me of another name for Subaru.00:56:12.818 --> 00:56:18.139


Oh, I'm not going to go there.00:56:19.311 --> 00:56:20.255


I'm not going to go there.00:56:20.255 --> 00:56:23.873


The type of driver is, you know.00:56:25.052 --> 00:56:26.317


It's a special type of driver.00:56:26.809 --> 00:56:35.237


Well, yes, different, let me put it that way Standard, all-wheel drive, sure-footed traction, tall ground clearance.00:56:35.237 --> 00:56:47.557


Lets it go places sportier SUVs can't While its lower roof height makes it easy for cargo loading, the Outback gets excellent safety scores and it's redesigned it for 2020.00:56:47.557 --> 00:56:50.833


But we think an older outback is just as good.00:56:50.833 --> 00:57:09.425


This is from edmunds and it goes between 15 and 20 thousand dollars and, uh, you know, I would imagine that our buddies down at emmons emmonsons Motors down there in Friendswood would be a place to check it out.00:57:09.985 --> 00:57:10.545


Here's another one.00:57:10.545 --> 00:57:13.637


Teen driver needs a larger three-row SUV.00:57:13.637 --> 00:57:15.135


How about a Toyota Highlander?00:57:15.135 --> 00:57:22.889


Consider an older Highlander, though the third row isn't palatial, but it is handy enough for a teen who might need to shuttle siblings around.00:57:22.889 --> 00:57:26.420


Third row also folds down to create ample cargo space.00:57:26.420 --> 00:57:29.778


Very reliable, according to RepairPal.00:57:30.751 --> 00:57:31.775


Four-cylinder engine.00:57:31.775 --> 00:57:35.000


They do have a V6 available in older ones.00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:39.981


2015 to 2016 Highlander goes somewhere between $16,000 and $20,000.00:57:39.981 --> 00:57:40.983


How about a Jeep Wrangler?00:57:40.983 --> 00:57:42.777


What kid doesn't want a Jeep Wrangler?00:57:42.777 --> 00:57:44.936


Two-door, four-door versions.00:57:44.936 --> 00:57:49.681


Young drivers will likely enjoy a more personal vibe of the two-door, regardless of type.00:57:49.681 --> 00:57:54.681


The Sport or Sport S trims offer the best combination of features, fun and frugality.00:57:54.681 --> 00:58:01.364


15 to 16 model year Wrangler pricing is somewhere between $17,000 and $20,000.00:58:01.364 --> 00:58:08.637


Those are just some recommendations that Edmunds had that I found that I thought I'd pass along because it is that time of the year graduation, gifts, etc, etc.00:58:08.637 --> 00:58:14.217


Birthdays I got Katie's car on her 16th birthday.00:58:14.217 --> 00:58:21.936
