Well, this is for the jeep cherokee for 2017 through 2019.
00:02:31.175 --> 00:02:35.337
So I guess that they're going to have the what'd you call it?
00:02:35.337 --> 00:02:36.698
The power train train unit?
00:02:36.698 --> 00:02:39.241
The train, it's like the choo-choo train.
00:02:39.241 --> 00:02:40.524
Power train, like your power train?
00:02:40.524 --> 00:02:41.747

Where is the power?
00:02:43.251 --> 00:02:52.372
It's from the train, from the train, yeah, but it's loss of drive power from a damaged powertrain unit.
00:02:52.372 --> 00:02:56.628
So a unit means that there's several components and here's the unit.
00:02:56.688 --> 00:02:57.532
It's not a PTO.
00:02:57.961 --> 00:02:58.784
It's a PTU.
00:02:58.784 --> 00:03:03.069

00:05:34.509 --> 00:05:36.226
Because you know it's a real shame.
00:05:36.226 --> 00:05:43.939

So I was going to say that this Ferrari that's right across from us here, it's painted gold.
00:06:23.398 --> 00:06:30.692
Now, to me, a Ferrari should be red, all Ferraris should be red.
00:06:30.692 --> 00:06:35.951
Well, I'm just saying for me, because I'm old school no, not black, not gold, should be red.
00:06:35.951 --> 00:06:37.521
Well, I'm just saying for me because I'm old school, no, not black, not gold.
00:06:37.541 --> 00:06:48.767
But that gold on that ferrari, oh, that's bad to the bone yeah so it needs an in-wheel time eyebrow on the top that's exactly what it needs.
00:06:49.608 --> 00:06:52.072
Uh, so, uh, there is.
00:06:52.072 --> 00:06:54.055

00:07:09.071 --> 00:07:12.033
There's also a Cybertruck.
00:07:12.745 --> 00:07:14.973
It's got a wrap of black, flat black.
00:07:14.973 --> 00:07:15.855
It's a great display.
00:07:16.004 --> 00:07:23.636
Yes, I see that flat black wrap, so Mr Mars went over there and invited him and he can't come.

Lincoln Navigator.
00:10:16.587 --> 00:10:17.671
There you go Well, or even Suburban, or whatever.
00:10:17.671 --> 00:10:20.717
But you know, to us older folks the Wagoneer was different.
00:10:21.299 --> 00:10:23.365
back in the day, it's all square body.
00:10:23.765 --> 00:10:26.928
Yeah, it was the square body and it was a rough and tumble.
00:10:27.471 --> 00:10:34.370
a four-wheel drive SUV back in the day, not a lot of eyeball Rubber mats instead of carpet Rubber mats, and then it had the wood siding on it.
00:10:34.370 --> 00:10:36.710
The fake wood siding Never took it out of the crate.
00:10:36.924 --> 00:10:38.812
That made an eyeball there, yeah.
00:10:38.851 --> 00:10:39.575
Yeah.
00:10:39.865 --> 00:10:45.457
So very interesting to see some of the new cars and what people are attracted to.
00:10:45.457 --> 00:10:51.833
Those are the people that are all over certain vehicles and there's people waiting to get inside and take a look at it.
00:10:51.874 --> 00:10:54.570
That's one thing that's pretty common.
00:10:54.570 --> 00:10:57.248
Not to get inside and take a look at it, that's one thing.
00:10:57.248 --> 00:10:58.311
Um, that's pretty common, not on, not uncommon here.
00:10:58.311 --> 00:11:03.804
Um, I remember when they brought out the new shelby mustang and they had it on display up there.
00:11:03.804 --> 00:11:05.087
You couldn't get next to it.
00:11:05.087 --> 00:11:09.179
They had it roped off because it was pricey.
00:11:09.179 --> 00:11:12.047
But boy, it sure did look good from a distance.
00:11:12.047 --> 00:11:15.974
Of course we attended on press morning and they would let you get up and look at it.
00:11:15.974 --> 00:11:23.154
Yes, because I don't know why, because I wouldn't trust the press as far as I could throw it would you automotive press, I think.
00:11:23.215 --> 00:11:35.958
I think that's that's one of the things I like about the show is that you can literally come here and you can go to I think what you'll see 30 brands here, actually and you can go and you can open the doors and you can sit in them.
00:11:35.958 --> 00:11:37.730
You know, look at them.
00:11:37.730 --> 00:11:40.153
There's no salesman trying to hound you.
00:11:40.485 --> 00:11:42.373
There are a few that they don't let you sit in.
00:11:42.373 --> 00:11:43.447
I saw that the Corvette.
00:11:43.447 --> 00:11:46.235
You can sit in the Corvette but you can get up and look through the window.
00:11:46.804 --> 00:11:51.998
The reason they won't let you sit in the Corvette is because people like me can't get back out of it.
00:11:51.998 --> 00:11:53.027
You'd be stuck in there.
00:11:54.731 --> 00:11:55.975
You know that's a good point.
00:11:55.975 --> 00:11:57.057
You know what a great point.
00:11:57.057 --> 00:12:04.190
You know, next time I have the Corvette unfolded there in the driveway at my house, I want to see you get in and out of it, I'm going to shoehorn you in it.
00:12:04.350 --> 00:12:08.232
I can get in it, I know, but I want to see you getting out of it.
00:12:08.465 --> 00:12:10.245
Yeah, and it can be ugly.
00:12:10.245 --> 00:12:12.307
I'm just going to tell you we went to.
00:12:12.327 --> 00:12:13.068
Well, it depends.
00:12:13.068 --> 00:12:15.650
It's either ugly or entertaining one or the other.
00:12:15.650 --> 00:12:16.071
We went to.
00:12:16.130 --> 00:12:26.019
Fireman Jack's car show in the middle of God's country and I rode with him and the vet and it took me, I had to get down and roll into it and all that stuff.
00:12:26.019 --> 00:12:27.240
Same thing.
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:30.746
A little bit of help getting out, yeah, agreed.
00:12:30.767 --> 00:12:37.267
Because once you're in, you don't want to get out, because you're basically about two inches off the concrete when he drives.
00:12:37.287 --> 00:12:37.908
you want to get out.
00:12:38.009 --> 00:12:38.611
I did not.
00:12:38.611 --> 00:12:42.466
I don't drive that way, Mars.
00:12:42.466 --> 00:12:46.972
On the other hand, I'm surprised that you haven't wrecked more cars.
00:12:48.186 --> 00:12:49.371
I did it all when I was younger.
00:12:51.505 --> 00:12:55.335
Because I see you wandering in the lane that you're supposed to be in.
00:12:55.335 --> 00:12:56.357
You wander.
00:12:56.804 --> 00:12:58.490
That's research on the lane.
00:12:58.490 --> 00:12:59.214
Yeah, that's both.
00:12:59.926 --> 00:13:02.873
I'm not buying that he's doing a lane change guidance.
00:13:02.873 --> 00:13:03.072
Yeah.
00:13:03.865 --> 00:13:04.929
Lane change guidance.
00:13:05.311 --> 00:13:06.355
Yeah, but don't.
00:13:06.355 --> 00:13:14.869
Anyway, I wanted to say, and I'm going to go try and see if I can find one here.
