Yes, Because you got tired of the of the wife and didn't want to have her sit next to you.

00:08:53.453 --> 00:09:17.591
No, not at all I just yeah, I wouldn't say that wanted to change it, wanted I've always wanted it with bucket seats in it really yeah, well, you know they quit putting bucket seats in those cars in the late, in the early, late 60s so the car didn't come with buckets and buckets weren't available for the car, no, so you robbed some car for those buckets 62 old Starfires.

00:09:17.985 --> 00:09:21.990
Yeah, there you go, Starfires and they fit Well, yeah they do now.

00:09:22.071 --> 00:09:23.115
They do now yeah.

00:09:23.384 --> 00:09:25.312
And the console had the Starfires in it.

00:09:26.590 --> 00:09:28.879
Did you have to modify the floor or anything?

00:09:29.241 --> 00:09:32.710
No, I just built brackets.

00:09:32.951 --> 00:09:42.004
Hey gotcha, nice it looks really nice I can imagine you're gonna have to go over there and look at it, you'll you'll appreciate it, uh how's that convertible top working?

00:09:44.148 --> 00:09:53.206
uh, it's got the scissor top in it and uh, there's a guy here in town that uh is that knows how to put them in.

00:09:53.607 --> 00:10:26.174
Yeah, but I I had it all completely rebuilt and uh, all new bushings and everything, and so I I took the frame to him and the top and he put it all back in the car that's cool because I just I just had it repainted and all the body work, uh, and a funny story uh, we found a new in the box, rear quarter panel for it a new in the box, new, old stock new, old.

00:10:26.174 --> 00:10:29.278
It cost me more to ship it than it cost to buy it.

00:10:33.804 --> 00:10:34.847
I guess there wasn't too big of a high demand for it.

00:10:34.847 --> 00:10:38.738
Now, was that quarter panel on the convertible different than the sedan?

00:10:39.985 --> 00:10:44.174
It was, but it was the guy that did the work for me.

00:10:44.174 --> 00:10:45.298
He was able to make it work.

00:10:46.346 --> 00:10:58.196
He didn't take the whole quarter panel off, he just cut out all the rust not a lot of rust, did a great job, because I was looking down the side of it and I thought it was all original sheet metal this guy, so it did have rust.

00:10:58.958 --> 00:11:01.205
Is it not an original houston car or?

00:11:01.806 --> 00:11:02.446
uh, I'm really.

00:11:02.446 --> 00:11:05.948
It was uh originally sold in midland texas.

00:11:05.948 --> 00:11:09.451
Yeah, bird Oldsmobile Okay, and that's where I'm from.

00:11:09.711 --> 00:11:11.232
Okay, and it's got rust.

00:11:11.232 --> 00:11:22.780
Well, I guess it's not too surprising because you know rust mitigation really didn't exist back then and it depends on, you know, the high humidity and that sort of stuff.

00:11:22.780 --> 00:11:25.582
Once it starts, the egg will stop.

00:11:26.144 --> 00:11:26.625
That's right Well.

00:11:26.625 --> 00:11:28.849
I mean, you get like the snow and salt and it's the angle of stop.

00:11:28.849 --> 00:11:29.389
That's right Well.

00:11:29.409 --> 00:11:30.832
I know, but you get like the snow and salt, and salt is what.

00:11:30.852 --> 00:11:30.993
Midland.

00:11:30.993 --> 00:11:33.657
Odessa doesn't get a lot of snow, but they do get some snow every now and then.

00:11:33.657 --> 00:11:42.451
A little bit but snow is not the factor, it's all the other garbage they put in there, the salts and all the the chemicals the chemicals that they put down on the road.

00:11:42.565 --> 00:11:44.047
That's what does the rust.

00:11:44.868 --> 00:11:53.440
If you look at any 71 through 76 B-bodied cars, they all rust around the back wheels.

00:11:53.780 --> 00:11:59.995
Yeah, Does it have that chrome strip around the wheel opening?

00:12:01.477 --> 00:12:04.251
A small one, it's kind of on the inside of it.

00:12:04.272 --> 00:12:04.613
Gotcha.

00:12:04.613 --> 00:12:08.756
Yeah, it doesn't fold out to the outside of it, but it's on the inside.

00:12:08.756 --> 00:12:10.020
Yeah, holds moisture inside.

00:12:10.041 --> 00:12:10.121
Yeah.

00:12:10.142 --> 00:12:10.442
Holds moisture.

00:12:10.442 --> 00:12:11.065
Yeah, yep, yeah.

00:12:11.065 --> 00:12:28.198
But it's interesting because, you know, when they designed those cars back in the day, they didn't think that way Because, if you remember correctly and I worked for a Chevrolet dealer in 1969, 69, 70, that they put window molding around.

00:12:28.198 --> 00:12:32.070
It trapped all of the water, yep, all of the time.

00:12:32.070 --> 00:12:36.962
If you washed it, set it outside in the rain didn't make any difference, it was underneath there.

00:12:37.224 --> 00:12:37.404
Right.

00:12:37.865 --> 00:12:39.912
And that 66 Corvair that I had.

00:12:39.912 --> 00:12:52.489
That was its major problem was that chrome trim around the window that trapped the water in there between the window and the actual body itself and it'll eat it up.

00:12:52.489 --> 00:12:55.418
Yeah and I guess you when you had it repainted.

00:12:55.418 --> 00:12:58.005
I guess you had it all everything was fixed.

00:12:58.125 --> 00:13:01.652
It's all metal, no bondo that's good.

00:13:01.772 --> 00:13:07.489
And then they invented z bart z bart, I remember z bart does that still exist.

00:13:07.489 --> 00:13:08.712
Uh, it's in form.

00:13:08.712 --> 00:13:09.716
It's called undercoating now.

00:13:10.085 --> 00:13:11.110
Yeah, there's a different name.

00:13:11.110 --> 00:13:12.738
I think that franchise is gone but there's a different one.

00:13:12.738 --> 00:13:13.563
Yeah, they probably bought them out.

00:13:14.465 --> 00:13:15.668
That's what they used to spray in there.

00:13:16.471 --> 00:13:17.796
Take the moldings off, drill holes.

00:13:18.245 --> 00:13:28.134
Yep and then plug it the guy that actually painted the car, when he's pretty good.

00:13:28.453 --> 00:13:32.918
Well, it does that, and it also helps make it quieter and heavier and heavier.

00:13:32.938 --> 00:13:35.062
Yeah yeah, because now they've got the mats.

00:13:35.264 --> 00:13:36.692
How about that motor that's in there?

00:13:37.245 --> 00:13:41.476
It's original 455 with 153,000 miles on it.

00:13:42.426 --> 00:13:43.370
And it's never been apart.

00:13:43.991 --> 00:13:44.153
No.

00:13:45.086 --> 00:13:46.191
How cool is that.

00:13:47.389 --> 00:13:48.113
I'll rephrase that.

00:13:48.113 --> 00:13:51.615
It's had a timing chain and gear put in it.

00:13:51.634 --> 00:13:52.485
Well, that's for the course.

00:13:53.285 --> 00:14:01.953
I took it apart when I was redoing it and I put chrome valve covers on it and you could literally eat off the inside of the engine.

00:14:01.974 --> 00:14:02.416
Wow.

00:14:03.666 --> 00:14:06.032
And this was maybe 6,000 miles ago.

00:14:06.032 --> 00:14:08.317
Nice, it's really a nice car.

00:14:08.345 --> 00:14:11.514
Well, that comes with having it for the last 40 years and taking care of it.

00:14:11.514 --> 00:14:15.725
Yeah, I mean, 150,000 miles in 40 years is not a lot of miles.

00:14:15.905 --> 00:14:17.692
So what did you pay for it back 40 years ago?

00:14:19.046 --> 00:14:23.625
I think I paid about $3,000.

00:14:23.705 --> 00:14:25.493
I was going to say that's a lot of money 40 years ago.

00:14:26.265 --> 00:14:27.171
I got that car.

00:14:31.024 --> 00:14:49.998
We had a restaurant in midland texas and we had some friends two ladies that owned that car, and they bought that car new to throw a rule paper route convertible one of them would sit in the back seat and they would fill the newspapers up to about here and then they would throw sure, and that top stayed down all the time.

00:14:49.998 --> 00:14:55.313
Of course, if you ever been in west texas, there's no humidity, it never rains.

00:14:55.313 --> 00:14:58.186
But they came in the restaurant.

00:14:58.186 --> 00:15:04.533
I was always teasing them, say, you know, bring it up to me sometime and let me wash it and wax it for you and I'll drive it for the weekend.

00:15:04.533 --> 00:15:07.927
Well, they came in one time and they said if you get a minute, come see me and see us.

00:15:07.927 --> 00:15:10.549
And they I sat one time and they said if you get a minute, come see me and see us.

00:15:10.549 --> 00:15:15.514
And I sat down with them and they pushed the keys over to me and I said does it need a wash job?

00:15:15.514 --> 00:15:18.057
And they said no, we want you to have that car.

00:15:18.477 --> 00:15:20.000
Wow, they gave it to you.

00:15:20.059 --> 00:15:21.100
No, they didn't give it to me.

00:15:27.945 --> 00:15:29.251
They told me I could pay for it any way.

00:15:29.272 --> 00:15:30.457
I wanted to, but they wanted me to have that car.

00:15:30.457 --> 00:15:31.684
Obviously, it went to the perfect owner.

00:15:33.629 --> 00:15:34.692
Yeah, it's been a great car.

00:15:35.273 --> 00:15:37.086
And that's when you met your wife.

00:15:37.869 --> 00:15:39.695
Not too long, a couple years after that.

00:15:39.695 --> 00:15:44.013
Yeah, there's a couple more between there.

00:15:44.946 --> 00:15:49.091
A couple of wives no, just checking, but it's got the A couple of wives no.

00:15:49.212 --> 00:15:50.316
Oh no, just checking Ladies.

00:15:50.316 --> 00:15:51.017
Okay, I got you.

00:15:52.206 --> 00:15:58.818
But it's got the polycast wheels on it that were an upgrade for 71 and 72.

00:15:58.818 --> 00:16:00.230
Delta 88s.

00:16:00.804 --> 00:16:07.638
They look kind of like a honeycomb, kind of like a bigger honeycomb that were on the Pontiacs Right.

00:16:08.745 --> 00:16:09.552
Is it 8 lug or 5 lug, 5.

00:16:09.552 --> 00:16:09.753
5 lug.

00:16:09.753 --> 00:16:10.398
Yeah you on the Pontiacs Right.

00:16:10.398 --> 00:16:11.062
Is it an 8-lug or 5-lug?

00:16:11.062 --> 00:16:11.163
5.

00:16:11.163 --> 00:16:11.344
5-lug.

00:16:11.364 --> 00:16:14.150
Yeah, you think the.

00:16:14.191 --> 00:16:15.655
Pontiacs had the 8-lugs, I think.

00:16:17.466 --> 00:16:18.529
Well, it's great talking to you.

00:16:18.669 --> 00:16:19.693
Thank you, I appreciate it.

00:16:19.904 --> 00:16:21.793
You got a name for that car, you call it anything?

00:16:22.105 --> 00:16:31.811
As a matter of fact, the two ladies that I bought the car from, those are the ones that fought over you Right.

00:16:31.811 --> 00:16:38.014
All my friends that knew them, we all called them the ladies, and so my wife named it the lady.

00:16:38.014 --> 00:16:41.275
Ah, ah, so that's its name.

00:16:41.615 --> 00:16:46.239
And I assume that it spends all these days in the garage, unless you bring it to an event like this Exactly.

00:16:46.538 --> 00:16:47.279
Yeah, exactly so.

00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:51.481

Yeah, yeah, we just took it on a.

00:16:58.966 --> 00:17:02.450

In Real Time continues our fall tour Gulf Coast Auto Shield, december 7th.

00:20:43.803 --> 00:20:48.707
We hope you stop by the In Real Time Remote Broadcast booth the booth.

00:20:48.707 --> 00:20:51.143
Would you call this the booth?

00:20:51.143 --> 00:20:53.000
Would you call it a booth?

00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:54.089
It's a radio booth.

00:20:54.089 --> 00:20:55.163
It's a radio booth.

00:20:55.163 --> 00:20:55.669
It's a radio booth.

00:20:55.669 --> 00:20:56.214
There you go.

00:20:56.255 --> 00:20:57.278
It's not like a photo booth.

00:20:57.961 --> 00:20:58.363
It could be.

00:20:58.363 --> 00:21:01.884
It could be a photo booth or a phone booth.

00:21:01.884 --> 00:21:10.228
No, I was thinking more along the lines of go to the Fox for your photos, remember Fox photo.

00:21:10.228 --> 00:21:11.130
Go to the Fox.

00:21:11.555 --> 00:21:15.305
Kathy used to be in one of those satellite places in a parking lot.

00:21:15.325 --> 00:21:21.903
That's where she used to be Parking lot, usually at the grocery store or something yeah, and then she went into a home furrow, was it no?

00:21:21.903 --> 00:21:23.898
Handy Dan Handy.

00:21:23.898 --> 00:21:25.359
Dan, yeah, was it Handy Dan Handy.

00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:29.299
Dan, and then she went from there to Academy for 37 years, yeah.

00:21:30.476 --> 00:21:30.777
Alright.

00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:32.974
Nice, by the way.

00:21:32.974 --> 00:21:33.516
Next weekend.

00:21:33.536 --> 00:21:34.816
we're back in the studio, will you?

00:21:34.855 --> 00:21:38.798
be glad I was taking off next week.

00:21:38.877 --> 00:21:42.800
You know, as long as we have nice weather like this, remotes are great.

00:21:42.800 --> 00:21:44.481
We could just set up in the driveway.

00:21:44.481 --> 00:21:48.384
But I will tell you, it takes us a full two hours to get everything all set up.

00:21:48.384 --> 00:21:49.743
It's a long time.

00:21:49.743 --> 00:21:50.484
It's a lot of work.

00:21:51.144 --> 00:21:52.685
Yeah, but it's worth it.

00:21:52.986 --> 00:21:59.369
We just don't fold it up into a little case and just do this.

00:21:59.369 --> 00:22:02.932
Mars had to go out and buy a truck to haul all this stuff around.

00:22:03.071 --> 00:22:04.673
I thought she was coming to get us another round.

00:22:05.593 --> 00:22:10.278
I know Could be, I guess not.

00:22:10.278 --> 00:22:13.743
Okay, you want to do the racing calendar Good, you want to do auto history.

00:22:14.003 --> 00:22:15.266
Well, mike said, do auto history.

00:22:15.266 --> 00:22:17.148
I could plug it in, but it wouldn't be worth it.

00:22:17.690 --> 00:22:19.231
All right, well, let's do the race calendar.

00:22:19.231 --> 00:22:22.525
Racing Racing, sponsored by Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge.

00:22:22.525 --> 00:22:22.955
Thank you.

00:22:23.016 --> 00:22:24.361
Texas Muscle Car Challenge.

00:22:24.741 --> 00:22:27.099
NASCAR Muscle Car Club.

00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:27.801
Challenge.

00:22:27.801 --> 00:22:32.136
Thank you for that Muscle Car Club Challenge.

00:22:32.136 --> 00:22:39.744
All right Thanks to Joey Logano being the champion of NASCAR Penske livery.

00:22:39.744 --> 00:22:41.326
So good for them.

00:22:41.666 --> 00:22:43.930
That's the yellow car, Yellow number 22.

00:22:44.130 --> 00:22:44.611
Pennzoil.

00:22:44.951 --> 00:22:45.310
Pennzoil.

00:22:45.310 --> 00:22:51.928
Penske's won everything in every event this past year, imsa and all that.

00:22:51.928 --> 00:22:52.651
Does that surprise you?

00:22:52.651 --> 00:22:59.503
No, nhra In-N-Out Burger, nhra Finals in Pomona Well so Pomona got rained out yesterday.

00:22:59.815 --> 00:23:01.842
I think they got top fuel in.

00:23:01.842 --> 00:23:06.502
Yeah, I think they got top fuel in for the first round of qualifying.

00:23:06.502 --> 00:23:09.167
Yeah, and we'll see how that goes.

00:23:09.536 --> 00:23:11.461
Weather related and you know all that good stuff.

00:23:11.461 --> 00:23:12.925
It might run into Monday, we don't know.

00:23:12.925 --> 00:23:16.464
And then the last one we have is, of course, formula One.

00:23:16.464 --> 00:23:18.923
They are in Las Vegas Street Circuit.

00:23:18.923 --> 00:23:25.825
It's the Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix, the Heine Heineken, and I think their trophy is like a giant stein.

00:23:25.825 --> 00:23:28.742
I don't know, I think you might drink out of it.

00:23:28.742 --> 00:23:32.361
No, I'm just kidding, I made that up, but it's going on right now.

00:23:32.361 --> 00:23:39.916
It's in las vegas, and I thought maybe las vegas would learn a lesson from last year, because it people were not happy but they signed a multi-year contract.

00:23:39.936 --> 00:23:40.838
That's their problem.

00:23:40.898 --> 00:23:52.300
Well, I mean the people that live around there and have to work and and everyday stuff now they close down all the streets yep, and you can't get around and there's, there's nastiness and all kinds of stuff beyond the normal las vegas stuff.

00:23:52.801 --> 00:24:02.163
So my wife watches all the shows and she came in there one day and told me that they were on, whoever they were talking to, good Morning America, whatever.

00:24:02.163 --> 00:24:12.105
Whatever they were in Las Vegas, and Visit Las Vegas took them around for a week, showing them all around about the race and all the things that were going to happen and all this other stuff.

00:24:12.105 --> 00:24:16.742
So they're really pushing the tourism to come to Las Vegasgas to watch this race and they lost.

00:24:17.022 --> 00:24:24.161
Actually they lost money you know that that as much as I like automobile racing, I would not go to that.

00:24:24.161 --> 00:24:25.963
The problem.

00:24:25.963 --> 00:24:32.942
The problem is as a spectator and it's actually that way at the circuit of the americas it's a road course.

00:24:33.384 --> 00:24:45.465
You're only going to watch a couple of turns in a straightaway somewhere, and that's what I was telling her that when we went to the COTA for a couple of broadcasts, we could be on that straightaway, but that's all we could see.

00:24:45.465 --> 00:24:50.097
You couldn't see anything else anywhere else, and the people in the bleachers across from us, that's all they could see.

00:24:50.097 --> 00:24:52.761
So it's not the Indy 500.

00:24:52.882 --> 00:24:54.002
Oh, let's go to the Indy 500.

00:24:54.002 --> 00:24:55.085
I've been to the Indy 500.

00:24:55.085 --> 00:24:56.165
It's great Love going.

00:24:56.165 --> 00:24:59.309
It's great to be there in the presence of all of that.

00:25:04.855 --> 00:25:07.019
The problem is the best that you can do two turns and one straightaway.

00:25:07.038 --> 00:25:07.479
Yep, that's it.

00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:15.845
One of my girls went up to Texas Motorplex and watched a NASCAR race and they got down.

00:25:15.885 --> 00:25:16.511
Low, wanted seats down.

00:25:16.532 --> 00:25:21.998
No, no, no, no and she got there and that's all they could see was the blur they couldn't see nothing right now, as a matter of fact.

00:25:22.077 --> 00:25:27.247
Uh, one of my first nascar races that I went to was in talladega.

00:25:27.247 --> 00:25:43.234
That's a two and two-thirds mile course, so you can imagine the back stretch is way over there so I got the highest seat I could get and I could see everything really you had to have binoculars to see the cars going around.

00:25:43.696 --> 00:25:47.890
They came by every 60 seconds or something, but still you gotta sit.

00:25:47.890 --> 00:25:56.429
You gotta sit a ways away to see that the biggest mistake I made one year is I went there and sat in turn four.

00:25:56.429 --> 00:26:04.604
Well, here they come all the way around in that 33-degree banking at Talladega and they're hauling buns Donkey.

00:26:04.604 --> 00:26:08.685
At this particular time they were doing over 200 miles an hour.

00:26:08.685 --> 00:26:14.703
Your eyes cannot see a car going by at 200 miles an hour.

00:26:14.703 --> 00:26:15.184
It's a blur.

00:26:16.047 --> 00:26:16.688
That's what I've heard.

00:26:16.688 --> 00:26:17.648
That's what I'm always heard.

00:26:17.954 --> 00:26:18.980
Michigan International Speedway.

00:26:18.980 --> 00:26:25.769
My brother-in-law, jerry, was a photographer in the Navy and he used to get media passes, like you all do, for different things.

00:26:25.769 --> 00:26:32.167
And this was back at Michigan International, where they had the holes cut in the fence for the cameraman to spin the camera as he went by.

00:26:32.615 --> 00:26:37.786
Now it's all electronic and all the other stuff that you do, but we were looking through one of these.

00:26:37.786 --> 00:26:42.502
Gordon Johncock was doing 210 miles an hour, coming at us and just blew us back.

00:26:42.502 --> 00:26:45.679
It was the most amazing thing you've ever seen and I'll never forget it.

00:26:45.679 --> 00:26:52.903
We were in the camera well at the time, watching it and taking our pictures and it was just amazing.

00:26:53.044 --> 00:26:57.321
No, it's too fast for the human eye to keep up with.

00:26:57.321 --> 00:27:03.326
When you're watching, you can see it coming at you, but it reaches a point where it turns into a blur as it goes past you.

00:27:03.935 --> 00:27:07.202
Then you can see it going away, but in that split second or two.

00:27:07.515 --> 00:27:09.262
It's like the Doppler effect, but it's in vision.

00:27:09.262 --> 00:27:19.644
Mr Mars, I've been holding a little feature that you have Is that what you guys are calling it To this segment At his age.

00:27:19.644 --> 00:27:20.847
Wait a minute.

00:27:20.847 --> 00:27:23.083
Is it really the time that I'm looking at here?

00:27:23.083 --> 00:27:24.365
We ain't got time for this.

00:27:24.365 --> 00:27:25.194
No, we don't.

00:27:25.194 --> 00:27:25.355
Ain't.

00:27:25.375 --> 00:27:36.175
nobody got time for this, ain't got no time, but we do have time to tell you to bring a toy unwrapped, get a breakfast taco or you can donate cash Still got time.

00:27:36.195 --> 00:27:45.852
Beautiful day, it's Toys for Tots and Houston Children's Charity and they're taking toys and they give you a little ticket to go in there and get yourself a free breakfast taco, get you a little ticket.

00:27:46.031 --> 00:27:49.344
Yeah, so I've done some news headlines.

00:27:49.344 --> 00:27:51.623
I got a couple I want to get in this hour.

00:27:51.623 --> 00:28:00.863
Business review website Yelp recently bought repair pal as it explores expanding its automotive services offerings.

00:28:00.863 --> 00:28:08.670
The purchase price for repair pal, which provides auto repair locations and maintenance estimates, was 80 million dollars in cash.

00:28:08.670 --> 00:28:12.778
The deal announced november 7th, expected to close by the end of the year.

00:28:12.778 --> 00:28:30.489
Advance Auto Parts said it will close more than 500 stores by the middle of next year and cut some jobs under a restructuring effort as demand for vehicle parts takes a hit from fewer consumers opting to repair their own cars.

00:28:30.489 --> 00:28:43.468
The company posted a third-quarter net loss from continuing operations of $25.3 million, compared with a loss of $74.1 million during the same period last year.

00:28:44.997 --> 00:28:46.482
They're in some deep doo-doo there.

00:28:46.755 --> 00:28:52.344
Well, if you think about it, they're getting so complicated you've got to have a computer to even hook on to it.

00:28:52.474 --> 00:28:54.280
You can only sell so many batteries.

00:28:54.722 --> 00:28:56.961
Yeah, exactly Either that, or they want to be like Nissan.

00:28:58.076 --> 00:29:02.882
If I were going to buy auto parts and I've tried them all Advance Pep.

00:29:02.922 --> 00:29:04.165
Boys O'Reilly.

00:29:05.657 --> 00:29:09.727
The one that is more professional and that I've always bought parts from.

00:29:09.727 --> 00:29:14.344
It used to be Hylo or Charlie's is now O'Reilly.

00:29:14.605 --> 00:29:14.765
Yes.

00:29:15.165 --> 00:29:15.907
And I go in there.

00:29:15.907 --> 00:29:20.440
I can always usually find what I need, and if they don't have it, they'll have it tomorrow.

00:29:20.800 --> 00:29:21.001
Right.

00:29:21.804 --> 00:29:23.701
Yeah, well, they used to turn brake drums.

00:29:23.775 --> 00:29:25.201
They had a little machine shop set up.

00:29:25.201 --> 00:29:26.801
They used to do all kinds of things.

00:29:27.035 --> 00:29:34.369
Before I bought my Buick, the guy down the street used to work on my car for me, little incidental things and car for me little incidental things, and he used to use Rock Auto.

00:29:34.410 --> 00:29:45.604
He used to do everything online, you know I don't have a problem with Rock Auto, except for the fact that it's good, better, best with them, and if you want to buy just the good, you're going to get some Chinese stuff.

00:29:45.604 --> 00:29:48.762
That doesn't necessarily work, but that's the way it's going.

00:29:49.621 --> 00:29:56.288
And usually whenever I'm working on something I mean flow sensor the other day for one of the kids' cars I don't want to wait two days to get it.

00:29:56.288 --> 00:30:00.691
You know, I'm going to go down and find whoever's got it in stock or can get it for me tomorrow, and that's who.

00:30:00.691 --> 00:30:01.654
I'm going to go Find somebody to do it for you.

00:30:01.654 --> 00:30:02.759
You're going down.

00:30:03.295 --> 00:30:05.740
