00:02:54.546 --> 00:02:55.153
Have I told you this story?
00:02:55.153 --> 00:02:55.598
Yeah, I think so.
00:02:55.598 --> 00:02:57.344
Well, I'm going to tell it again, okay.
00:02:58.127 --> 00:02:58.508
Darn it.
00:03:00.603 --> 00:03:02.927
So this was after PE, okay.
00:03:02.927 --> 00:03:05.473
So everybody's waiting for the bell to ring, right?
00:03:05.473 --> 00:03:08.596
So me and Ross and a couple other guys are flipping nickels.
00:03:08.596 --> 00:03:10.317
You know how to flip nickels, right.
00:03:10.317 --> 00:03:17.593
You know call it heads or tails, and whoever gets it right, they keep gambling basically Exactly.
00:03:17.593 --> 00:03:30.764
Well, coach Jolly Gene O'Regan, who was about 6'5" and was a bouncer in one of the nightclubs in Galveston back in the day when gambling was allowed down there, he don't like no gambling.
00:03:30.764 --> 00:03:36.610
Come here, boy, none of the other guys got in trouble, but me.
00:03:37.099 --> 00:03:41.402
Don Armstrong always got in trouble for everything, always Not meaning to.
00:03:41.402 --> 00:03:42.887
I didn't know.
00:03:42.887 --> 00:03:46.614
Come here, go to the office, sit down with with him.
00:03:46.614 --> 00:03:48.722
I'm shaking in my shoes because I know he's going to kill me.
00:03:48.722 --> 00:03:50.706
Okay, you got a choice.
00:03:50.706 --> 00:04:01.587
We can either expel you for gambling on school property or you can take five pops a day what monday through friday.
00:04:01.587 --> 00:04:07.794
Five, 25 pops with a board on my butt.
00:04:07.794 --> 00:04:09.836
That's abuse.
00:04:10.621 --> 00:04:14.372
The color of my butt after day two was the color of my shirt.
00:04:14.372 --> 00:04:18.543
It was black bruised, but by God, I did it.
00:04:20.889 --> 00:04:26.168
Yeah, so learn my lesson, not to flip nickels on the back porch at Westbury High.
00:04:26.209 --> 00:04:28.055
School, don't be flipping nickels.
00:04:28.055 --> 00:04:29.745
So there's my story for the morning.
00:04:29.745 --> 00:04:33.769
Now we have some other stories that we're going to get to.
00:04:33.769 --> 00:04:39.971
So PageWeek do this little thing called Hemings Sold Car Weekly Roundup.
00:04:39.971 --> 00:04:40.733
These are cars.
00:04:40.733 --> 00:04:44.350
Most of them are just regular everyday cars.
00:04:44.350 --> 00:05:00.869
Some are collector cars, just all sorts of different cars that people put up for sale on Hemings, which is a car website, and at the end of the week they give a rundown of the cars that were sold, the price that was sold, okay.
00:05:00.869 --> 00:05:13.706
So for instance, I come up with the title of the car is a 2004 Toyota 4Runner Very popular car.
00:05:13.706 --> 00:05:25.853
You know about a 4Runner, I'm sure Toyota 4Runner it's an SUV, it's an off-road, body-on-frame, kind of old school, but they're very popular.
00:05:25.853 --> 00:05:27.245
Even today they sell tons of them.
00:05:27.245 --> 00:05:32.331
2004 Toyota 4Runner, so it's 20 years old.
00:05:32.331 --> 00:05:34.865
How much do you think that that car sold?
00:05:34.906 --> 00:05:35.867
for I'll go first.
00:05:35.867 --> 00:05:37.793
Okay, $17,000.
00:05:37.793 --> 00:05:39.680
I was going to go $14,000.
00:05:40.721 --> 00:05:42.769
$11,030.
00:05:42.769 --> 00:05:47.733
Now, I don't know what the mileage is, I don't know the condition of it, none of that, but that's what it sold for and that's what you were going to guess, right?
00:05:47.733 --> 00:05:48.279
$11,000?
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:48.279
.
00:05:48.660 --> 00:05:53.100
Yeah, I mean, I was just thinking that, like mine's a 2014, and it's valued at like $10,000 to $15,000.
00:05:53.100 --> 00:05:54.425
So I was thinking somewhere.
00:06:00.208 --> 00:06:10.350
I mean a 4Runner loved this car, Loved, loved, loved, loved, loved this car A 2009 Pontiac Solstice.
00:06:10.350 --> 00:06:20.487
It's a little two-seat sports car that kind of was going after the Mazda Miata curve there and trying to get into that market, right.
00:06:20.487 --> 00:06:22.343
Pretty cool little car.
00:06:22.343 --> 00:06:27.285
Little under-horsepowered Four-cylinder engine in it, but looked pretty cool.
00:06:27.285 --> 00:06:28.870

00:07:56.514 --> 00:08:00.980
Because this is one that now, at my age, I would be interested in.
00:08:00.980 --> 00:08:04.615
Something like this A wheelchair.

I think it's a dark color.
00:08:18.971 --> 00:08:21.471
It looks black, a lot of chrome on it.
00:08:21.471 --> 00:08:26.293
This looks like a limousine actually.
00:08:26.314 --> 00:08:27.516

It looks good, I would buy that I would.
00:08:48.833 --> 00:08:49.554
I would buy the Eldo.
00:08:49.554 --> 00:08:50.817
It wouldn't fit in your driveway.
00:08:50.817 --> 00:08:51.619
Let me see the Eldo.
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:55.311
There, it is Okay, next car up.
00:08:56.804 --> 00:08:58.231
I actually owned one of these cars.
00:08:58.784 --> 00:09:00.692
Actually it was the mother of my children.
00:09:00.692 --> 00:09:12.451
We bought this car for her and we got rid of the Ford Pinto for this car, a 1984 Buick Regal.
00:09:12.451 --> 00:09:20.629
So it's got you know, two-door, it's got that elongated opera window in the back.
00:09:20.629 --> 00:09:25.357
Really a nice-looking car, a 1984 Buick Regal.
00:09:25.357 --> 00:09:26.729
There's a picture of it.
00:09:27.250 --> 00:09:29.826
See it Yep, $9,000.
00:09:29.826 --> 00:09:31.907
And you can tub it out Mars.
00:09:31.907 --> 00:09:32.187
What is it?
00:09:32.187 --> 00:09:33.048
Yep, $9,000.
00:09:33.048 --> 00:09:33.927
And you can tub it out Mars.
00:09:33.927 --> 00:09:34.388
I'm going with eight.
00:09:34.388 --> 00:09:34.668
What is it?
00:09:34.668 --> 00:09:35.168
He said eight.
00:09:35.188 --> 00:09:35.548
He said eight.
00:09:35.568 --> 00:09:37.409
I don't know Like ten.
00:09:37.429 --> 00:09:41.091
Okay, you got eight nine you got five $5,250.
00:09:41.091 --> 00:09:41.491
Yeah.
00:09:42.312 --> 00:09:43.633
I'm going to give you that one.
00:09:43.633 --> 00:09:45.833
At least I get one.
00:09:45.833 --> 00:09:51.096
See, that's one of those cars, though it's not everybody's going to want it.
00:09:51.096 --> 00:09:53.378
It's somebody that's got some sort of sentimental connection.
00:09:53.418 --> 00:09:56.198
Perhaps, and I get rid of the custom wheels on it.
00:09:56.198 --> 00:09:59.181
I go back to the original wire hubcaps.
00:09:59.341 --> 00:10:00.140
You know what that is.
00:10:00.140 --> 00:10:04.102
That is a family selling someone's car that's unable to drive anymore.
00:10:04.102 --> 00:10:09.278
Probably, that's my guess Now here's a hot rod.
00:10:09.298 --> 00:10:10.325
I get a point for that.
00:10:10.325 --> 00:10:11.471
Here's a hot rod, we get a point for that.
00:10:11.471 --> 00:10:11.975
Here's a hot rod for you.
00:10:11.975 --> 00:10:17.455
It looks like it could be a show car and I'm kind of giving away a little bit of a hint.
00:10:17.455 --> 00:10:21.879
Okay, 1956 Chevrolet 210.
00:10:21.899 --> 00:10:25.404
Bel Air they didn't call it a Bel Air, they called it a 210.
00:10:25.404 --> 00:10:27.350
$37,000.
00:10:27.350 --> 00:10:30.902
Mars $29,000.
00:10:30.922 --> 00:10:31.524
$35,000.
00:10:31.524 --> 00:10:31.884
Mars 29.
00:10:31.884 --> 00:10:33.003
35.7.
00:10:35.277 --> 00:10:35.559
There it is.
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:36.868
I'm going to get Paige that one.
00:10:36.888 --> 00:10:38.654
Okay, here's one that everybody will appreciate.
00:10:38.654 --> 00:10:40.812
And these stupid things are going for stupid money.
00:10:40.812 --> 00:10:44.716
I thought that they were really ugly from the day that they rolled off the factory showroom.
00:10:44.716 --> 00:10:49.701
A 1975 Volkswagen Westfalia oh.
00:10:50.807 --> 00:10:51.610
Can I phone a friend?
00:10:51.610 --> 00:10:52.432
I want to call a Lillian.
00:10:53.768 --> 00:11:01.493
That's the one where they've chopped off part of the top right behind the driver's seat, and they put a camper type top on it.
00:11:01.493 --> 00:11:04.571
That was collapsible, so it looked like kind of a tent.
00:11:04.571 --> 00:11:15.375
The roof of it, I think, was either aluminum or fiberglass or something, something like that, so you could raise the thing up, so you could stand up in it, okay, but it's a Volkswagen.
00:11:15.375 --> 00:11:15.855
What year?
00:11:15.855 --> 00:11:17.799
Again, 1975.
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:23.852
Westfalia was the name of the company that did these conversions, right, yeah, the conversions, and they sold a buttload of them.
00:11:24.004 --> 00:11:27.447
Get the Lillienthal's on the phone 1975 Volkswagen Westfalia.
00:11:27.466 --> 00:11:28.509

00:11:28.509 --> 00:11:30.130
I'll let you go first 42.
00:11:30.130 --> 00:11:33.715

1.13.
00:11:36.138 --> 00:11:38.541
Probably didn't run.
00:11:38.541 --> 00:11:41.173
Now here's one that I thought was very interesting.
00:11:41.173 --> 00:11:43.293
We're going to keep it in the Volkswagen theme, okay.
00:11:43.293 --> 00:11:49.357
A 1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia.
00:11:49.357 --> 00:11:50.846
Oh, okay.
00:11:50.846 --> 00:11:56.756
Now all this really is is a body on a Volkswagen Beetle chassis Right the pan and all that.
00:11:56.898 --> 00:12:01.024
Yeah, Very very, that's what the headlights are See it up there Sawed-after car.
00:12:01.044 --> 00:12:02.135
My brother had a convertible.
00:12:02.135 --> 00:12:03.004
Okay, sawed-after car.
00:12:03.004 --> 00:12:03.567
So what do?
00:12:03.606 --> 00:12:06.866

think that that sold for Jeffrey $31,000.
00:12:20.826 --> 00:12:21.648
That's a wild guess.
00:12:21.648 --> 00:12:22.308
I'm just guessing.
00:12:23.390 --> 00:12:24.472
