Uh, yes, I am as ready as I always am.
15
00:00:35,945 --> 00:00:36,935
Wait, how's my hair?
16
00:00:37,955 --> 00:00:43,004
But anyway, okay, welcome to drive through
episode number 49, our monthly recap where
17
00:00:43,005 --> 00:00:46,835
we put together a menu of automotive,
motorsport, and random car adjacent news.
18
00:00:47,065 --> 00:00:48,824
Now let's pull up to window number one.
19
00:00:49,285 --> 00:00:50,385
For some automotive news.
20
00:00:50,495 --> 00:00:53,455
Did you notice that Tanya
already has her popcorn?
21
00:00:53,475 --> 00:00:54,775
She is ready for tonight.
22
00:00:55,475 --> 00:00:57,155
Is this the Florida Man episode?
23
00:00:57,255 --> 00:00:58,285
No, this is better.
24
00:00:58,285 --> 00:01:02,035
Tonight, we are bonded in
the love of storytelling.
25
00:01:02,165 --> 00:01:05,025
Because tonight, tonight, tonight.
26
00:01:06,010 --> 00:01:10,860
Whoa, that old Genesis song was
the Genesis or Phil Collins.
27
00:01:10,860 --> 00:01:11,450
I can't remember.
28
00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:12,680
Is there really a difference?
29
00:01:12,730 --> 00:01:13,050
Yeah.
30
00:01:13,110 --> 00:01:14,760
It's the same lead singer.
31
00:01:14,939 --> 00:01:15,599
It's not that different.
32
00:01:15,750 --> 00:01:18,610
It's like, is there a difference
between Bon Jovi and John Bon Jovi?
33
00:01:18,660 --> 00:01:19,430
No, not really.
34
00:01:19,450 --> 00:01:20,169
It's the same shit.
35
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:20,490
Yeah.
36
00:01:20,769 --> 00:01:23,930
No, I've got a bone to pick with this
intro though, because we only pull
37
00:01:23,930 --> 00:01:26,770
up to window number one, but I guess
it's kind of like when you go through
38
00:01:26,770 --> 00:01:29,910
a drive through nowadays, they've
got two windows, you really just go
39
00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:32,560
to the first one or the second one
and that's it, it's just one window.
40
00:01:32,770 --> 00:01:33,400
Window number one.
41
00:01:33,420 --> 00:01:33,920
Here we go.
42
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:34,890
What are we doing today?
43
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,230
Only a few times in the 49 drive
throughs that we've had over the
44
00:01:39,230 --> 00:01:43,229
last few seasons have we really
taken a step into the personal.
45
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,589
Again, sharing the love of storytelling.
46
00:01:45,650 --> 00:01:50,789
And this month it was almost, and I hate
this word, serendipitous that certain
47
00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:55,170
articles lended themselves to events
that had been going on in my life.
48
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,030
It's going to be a little bit of
a personal showcase this time.
49
00:01:58,030 --> 00:02:00,179
We're going to talk about Buford T.
50
00:02:00,179 --> 00:02:03,929
Justice, Roscoe Picotrain, and
maybe Judge Dredd in there.
51
00:02:03,930 --> 00:02:05,830
You know, I am the law.
52
00:02:06,890 --> 00:02:08,579
Judge Jerry Executioner.
53
00:02:08,609 --> 00:02:12,219
But I got to back up a little bit because
I got to set the stage for our listeners.
54
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,485
Now, some of our listeners, May
know just before back to school.
55
00:02:16,505 --> 00:02:20,505
So somewhere in between the last drive
through in this one, my wife broke her
56
00:02:20,505 --> 00:02:23,695
ankle pretty bad in three places, surgery.
57
00:02:23,715 --> 00:02:27,825
We're talking deck screws and metal
plates and weeks and weeks and weeks
58
00:02:27,825 --> 00:02:29,114
of recovery and stuff like that.
59
00:02:29,155 --> 00:02:30,234
And how did she do it again?
60
00:02:30,244 --> 00:02:31,565
She was wrestling a bear, right?
61
00:02:31,574 --> 00:02:34,975
She was hiking and got literally
stuck between a rock and a hard place.
62
00:02:36,245 --> 00:02:37,335
That being said.
63
00:02:37,515 --> 00:02:42,365
I am on the road more now
every day of every week than
64
00:02:42,365 --> 00:02:44,675
I have been in probably years.
65
00:02:44,695 --> 00:02:48,065
And you guys already know how
I feel about being in traffic.
66
00:02:48,105 --> 00:02:49,374
It's a Herculean effort.
67
00:02:49,405 --> 00:02:52,925
I'm doing a lot of stuff, running
around, all these kinds of things.
68
00:02:53,025 --> 00:02:56,865
In the early part of this, I'm trying to
get some stuff just done around the house.
69
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:57,900
And I was like, you know what?
70
00:02:57,950 --> 00:03:01,770
I'm going to run to Home Depot because
I've been driving the minivan for so long.
71
00:03:01,780 --> 00:03:02,549
I was like, you know what?
72
00:03:02,590 --> 00:03:04,100
My station wagon has been sitting.
73
00:03:04,190 --> 00:03:06,609
I'm going to take it into
town just to drive it, to get
74
00:03:06,609 --> 00:03:07,790
it out of its parking spot.
75
00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:09,560
And hopefully the tires aren't square.
76
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,540
So I head off into town.
77
00:03:11,619 --> 00:03:15,579
It's not like super early in the
morning, like contractor early, you
78
00:03:15,579 --> 00:03:18,620
know, got to be at Home Depot to
pick up my Tesla replacement parts
79
00:03:18,620 --> 00:03:19,850
at six in the morning type of deal.
80
00:03:19,850 --> 00:03:20,520
It was after 8am.
81
00:03:21,049 --> 00:03:22,080
I go there.
82
00:03:22,220 --> 00:03:23,550
I get what I need.
83
00:03:23,630 --> 00:03:27,310
I'm coming back and there's a
major intersection traffic light.
84
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,830
There's a wawa there and it's
three lanes that can turn left
85
00:03:30,860 --> 00:03:32,020
and one that can turn right.
86
00:03:32,020 --> 00:03:35,079
So it's actually a really, really
wide intersection and I'm the
87
00:03:35,079 --> 00:03:38,389
first car in the middle lane and
there's a bunch of cars behind me.
88
00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:42,300
Beautiful day, absolutely gorgeous
weather, had the windows down.
89
00:03:42,330 --> 00:03:43,520
I didn't even have the radio on.
90
00:03:43,530 --> 00:03:46,150
I was just enjoying that Saturday morning.
91
00:03:46,355 --> 00:03:50,475
In my old car, right, the
light turns green and I just
92
00:03:50,485 --> 00:03:52,115
proceed to take off like normal.
93
00:03:52,195 --> 00:03:53,775
I'm not doing anything stupid.
94
00:03:53,855 --> 00:03:56,855
I've lived in this town for
what feels like forever now.
95
00:03:56,945 --> 00:04:01,314
And I had noticed in the two weeks prior
that the town was just crawling with cops,
96
00:04:01,365 --> 00:04:03,195
you know, in their normal hiding places.
97
00:04:03,205 --> 00:04:05,745
And then they're in the bushes
and then they're in camouflage
98
00:04:05,745 --> 00:04:06,795
and all this kind of thing.
99
00:04:06,795 --> 00:04:07,685
And I'm like, you know what?
100
00:04:07,745 --> 00:04:10,215
I'm not here to burn the
carbon out of the intake.
101
00:04:10,235 --> 00:04:14,190
I just, you know, Want to drive the car,
drive a manual transmission car and just
102
00:04:14,190 --> 00:04:15,940
enjoy this beautiful Saturday morning.
103
00:04:15,940 --> 00:04:20,579
So I'm coming home from the home depot,
a little short shift for a second gear.
104
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,880
I'm going below the speed
limit and through traffic.
105
00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:27,510
I see behind me, this
gray Ford Explorer come.
106
00:04:27,860 --> 00:04:31,690
Flying up on just like what the hell
so my eyes got a little big and I'm
107
00:04:31,690 --> 00:04:34,690
like, okay and All the lights go off.
108
00:04:34,690 --> 00:04:36,469
I'm like, what did I do?
109
00:04:36,580 --> 00:04:37,709
Am I going too slow?
110
00:04:37,710 --> 00:04:40,320
Did something fall off you
can imagine what happened
111
00:04:40,330 --> 00:04:42,170
next license and registration?
112
00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:45,730
I've been through this not my first
rodeo I'm, like, excuse me officer.
113
00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:46,629
Is there a problem?
114
00:04:46,844 --> 00:04:48,275
Is there something I can help you with?
115
00:04:48,414 --> 00:04:49,695
He didn't already like that.
116
00:04:49,695 --> 00:04:50,784
You know, they start their speech.
117
00:04:50,885 --> 00:04:53,615
Please understand that you're under
recording and blah, blah, blah.
118
00:04:53,615 --> 00:04:55,184
Everything you say and
do and blah, blah, blah.
119
00:04:55,185 --> 00:04:55,905
Like, okay, great.
120
00:04:55,905 --> 00:04:56,384
Yeah, I get it.
121
00:04:56,384 --> 00:04:58,905
Your camera's like in my
nostril at this point.
122
00:04:59,094 --> 00:05:04,830
And he proceeds to tell me that my car
was Unnecessarily loud and frightening.
123
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,149
Which car was this?
124
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:07,310
This is the Wookiee wagon.
125
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:08,850
My VR6 station wagon.
126
00:05:08,940 --> 00:05:10,350
I had to bite my tongue.
127
00:05:10,420 --> 00:05:12,270
So I responded and I said, Really?
128
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,380
Do you happen to have a
decibel meter on your truck?
129
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,240
Can you tell me how loud it is?
130
00:05:17,484 --> 00:05:21,085
And he looked at me like I was a
Cerberus from hell with three heads.
131
00:05:21,234 --> 00:05:24,705
I didn't know if he didn't know what I was
talking about, but I was flat out like,
132
00:05:24,734 --> 00:05:26,744
how can you tell me if my car is too loud?
133
00:05:26,804 --> 00:05:29,254
Meanwhile, my blood is
like starting to boil.
134
00:05:29,275 --> 00:05:30,444
Cause I'm like, this is stupid.
135
00:05:30,444 --> 00:05:31,644
What did you pull me over for?
136
00:05:31,705 --> 00:05:32,934
Cause I wasn't speeding.
137
00:05:33,034 --> 00:05:34,614
I wasn't doing anything dumb.
138
00:05:34,654 --> 00:05:36,104
I was in the right lane.
139
00:05:36,154 --> 00:05:38,564
No, I didn't do a burnout
at the traffic light.
140
00:05:38,735 --> 00:05:41,594
I'm minding my own business
coming home from Home Depot.
141
00:05:41,645 --> 00:05:42,844
Like, what do you want from me?
142
00:05:42,914 --> 00:05:46,125
We joke about this all the time
because you're a very well bearded man.
143
00:05:46,164 --> 00:05:49,825
But how much of this do you think could
be profiling because you don't look like
144
00:05:49,825 --> 00:05:51,685
the normal demographic in that area?
145
00:05:51,685 --> 00:05:52,654
That's what I said.
146
00:05:52,655 --> 00:05:53,874
I thought about that.
147
00:05:53,914 --> 00:05:57,855
I remember when we were coming home
from Texas from CODA and you got
148
00:05:57,855 --> 00:05:59,974
stopped, you know, the random check.
149
00:06:01,010 --> 00:06:03,580
Checkpoint, I've got a
photo evidence to prove it.
150
00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:06,390
They frisked you and went
all up and down your crotch.
151
00:06:06,450 --> 00:06:09,409
Meanwhile, you could have been
carrying anything and everything.
152
00:06:09,419 --> 00:06:11,210
And you walked through
like it was nothing.
153
00:06:11,259 --> 00:06:13,020
I look like, you know, the good old boy.
154
00:06:13,650 --> 00:06:18,339
I mean, it was beginning of
September when this happened to you.
155
00:06:18,339 --> 00:06:21,020
And September is a particular
month in this country.
156
00:06:21,020 --> 00:06:22,640
Now, not saying anything.
157
00:06:22,659 --> 00:06:27,140
You look at the old profile pictures and
the headshots, My hair is much shorter.
158
00:06:27,170 --> 00:06:28,370
I've let my hair grow out.
159
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,150
Your beard has grown out a lot.
160
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,060
But I have a lot of white in my beard too.
161
00:06:32,060 --> 00:06:35,390
So when he came around the corner, I
think he was like, Oh, this is older guy.
162
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,599
And this little hot rod is scared.
163
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,440
And but yes, I did think about that.
164
00:06:39,460 --> 00:06:40,769
Being of olive skin.
165
00:06:42,184 --> 00:06:45,015
It's like, you know, how much of
that does play in, you know, he
166
00:06:45,015 --> 00:06:46,554
was blonde haired and blue eyed.
167
00:06:46,554 --> 00:06:48,205
I don't know what to say about that.
168
00:06:48,275 --> 00:06:50,314
Again, I don't think
about things that way.
169
00:06:50,344 --> 00:06:53,335
People are people and people do
people things and that's that.
170
00:06:53,344 --> 00:06:54,334
Move on with life.
171
00:06:54,364 --> 00:06:55,384
That's not how the world works.
172
00:06:55,424 --> 00:06:57,255
I know, I know, I live in a bubble.
173
00:06:57,294 --> 00:06:59,234
I wonder if he's gonna
pull over Santa Claus.
174
00:06:59,304 --> 00:07:01,104
Oh yeah, Tanya brought that up.
175
00:07:01,184 --> 00:07:06,184
She's like, there's another guy with a VR6
GTI running around and it makes noise too.
176
00:07:06,224 --> 00:07:07,474
Apparently he looks like Santa Claus.
177
00:07:07,474 --> 00:07:09,174
He looks straight up like Santa Claus.
178
00:07:09,244 --> 00:07:11,564
Is Santa Claus driving a Mark 4 VR6?
179
00:07:13,254 --> 00:07:16,344
Delivering audible treats to
all the little boys and girls.
180
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:21,659
Okay, first of all, can you argue as
a VR6 owner that the VR6 sounds bad?
181
00:07:21,770 --> 00:07:23,689
I mean, it sounds fucking amazing.
182
00:07:23,749 --> 00:07:24,289
Thank you.
183
00:07:24,289 --> 00:07:26,770
It's one of the best
sounding engines of all time.
184
00:07:26,799 --> 00:07:30,840
Other than V8s, and then a select
few like straight sixes and stuff
185
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,079
like that, the VR6 is one of the
best sounding motors ever produced.
186
00:07:34,089 --> 00:07:39,699
But even at full song, the VR6 is quieter
than the Nissan VQ, because those,
187
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:43,640
those, those Three fifties are allowed
the infinities and all those, the GTRs
188
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:46,619
and a straight six BMW is really shrill.
189
00:07:46,659 --> 00:07:50,379
Like if you want to talk about a
startling engine, the VR six is not it.
190
00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:53,070
It sounds like a freaking
Wookiee, but anyway, I digress.
191
00:07:53,179 --> 00:07:55,630
I don't know why he was expecting
to get any money out of you.
192
00:07:55,630 --> 00:07:58,029
You were driving a 22 year old Volkswagen.
193
00:07:58,339 --> 00:07:59,650
It's blood out of a turn up.
194
00:07:59,750 --> 00:08:00,489
Thank you.
195
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:01,059
Thank you.
196
00:08:01,270 --> 00:08:01,719
Thank you.
197
00:08:01,830 --> 00:08:04,610
Well, what I think he wanted was
to get me for something, because I
198
00:08:04,610 --> 00:08:07,960
got a loud car, and I got a lowered
car, and it's a station wagon.
199
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,469
It's not like I'm running around in a
Camaro with a roots blower on it, right?
200
00:08:11,469 --> 00:08:14,070
It's just a freaking 20 year
old Volkswagen, who cares?
201
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,810
So then he proceeds to tell me, well,
you know, you have a taillight out.
202
00:08:17,810 --> 00:08:20,800
Oh, the old taillight trick, right?
203
00:08:20,830 --> 00:08:23,340
Did he smash it with a
nightstick before he came up?
204
00:08:23,810 --> 00:08:25,460
Man, if he had done that,
that would have hurt.
205
00:08:25,530 --> 00:08:28,580
Cause I got European taillights,
but Tanya had actually told me and
206
00:08:28,580 --> 00:08:30,169
I forgot like a week or two prior.
207
00:08:30,169 --> 00:08:31,799
She's like, you're right
rear taillights out.
208
00:08:31,849 --> 00:08:32,929
Yeah, I got to change that.
209
00:08:32,929 --> 00:08:35,589
But in the midst of everything
that's been happening at home,
210
00:08:35,709 --> 00:08:36,839
I totally forgot about it.
211
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:37,169
Okay.
212
00:08:37,169 --> 00:08:37,919
I need a brake light.
213
00:08:37,979 --> 00:08:38,780
Thank you, officer.
214
00:08:38,809 --> 00:08:39,669
I didn't know.
215
00:08:39,689 --> 00:08:41,549
You know, I never get to
see the back of my car.
216
00:08:41,549 --> 00:08:43,929
So I'm trying to be nice
because he's already pissed me
217
00:08:43,929 --> 00:08:45,280
off with this exhaust thing.
218
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:45,560
Right?
219
00:08:45,599 --> 00:08:48,300
So license registration
goes back to the car.
220
00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:49,610
He's back there for a while.
221
00:08:49,610 --> 00:08:51,250
I'm like, ah, God damn it.
222
00:08:51,310 --> 00:08:53,300
What kind of ticket is
he gonna hit me with?
223
00:08:53,370 --> 00:08:56,650
Again, I didn't do anything and he didn't
say I was speeding because I wasn't.
224
00:08:56,650 --> 00:08:58,290
I was actually under the speed limit.
225
00:08:58,319 --> 00:09:01,809
Like I said, I knew they had been crawling
and they were all kind of in the area.
226
00:09:01,869 --> 00:09:03,149
He didn't have a gun on you anyway.
227
00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:07,360
There's no way he He comes back and he's
like, I have two pieces of paper for you.
228
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,250
I'm like, oh, geez, Louise,
what the hell is this?
229
00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:13,020
He's like, well, the first one's
a repair order for your taillight.
230
00:09:13,020 --> 00:09:14,969
You need to take it
somewhere and have it fixed.
231
00:09:14,969 --> 00:09:16,717
I'm like, I can fucking fix it at home.
232
00:09:16,717 --> 00:09:18,749
And I sort of said that,
but not in that way.
233
00:09:18,749 --> 00:09:20,219
I said, okay, I'm going to go home.
234
00:09:20,219 --> 00:09:21,219
It's going to take me five minutes.
235
00:09:21,230 --> 00:09:23,130
We really have to go through this process.
236
00:09:23,140 --> 00:09:23,610
He's like, yep.
237
00:09:23,699 --> 00:09:26,020
I was like, okay, that's how
he's going to get under my skin.
238
00:09:26,415 --> 00:09:29,204
because he can't give me a speeding
ticket because again, I wasn't speeding.
239
00:09:29,265 --> 00:09:32,064
Then he gives me another
warning on top of that.
240
00:09:32,115 --> 00:09:35,714
And this is what really just
irked me and pissed me off.
241
00:09:35,725 --> 00:09:40,074
He starts off by saying, you know, I, I
know Volkswagen because you know, this and
242
00:09:40,074 --> 00:09:44,055
that, and it shouldn't be unnecessarily
loud like this and blah, blah, blah.
243
00:09:44,094 --> 00:09:45,685
And he goes, you know,
your muffler cut off.
244
00:09:45,685 --> 00:09:46,645
And I'm like, no, no, no, no.
245
00:09:46,725 --> 00:09:48,505
So you can look under my car.
246
00:09:48,545 --> 00:09:50,025
I have a catalytic converter.
247
00:09:50,045 --> 00:09:52,155
a resonator and a full exhaust.
248
00:09:52,235 --> 00:09:53,974
I, I don't understand
what you're talking about.
249
00:09:54,094 --> 00:09:56,745
And he's like, well, I'm not looking,
I'm not looking under your car.
250
00:09:56,745 --> 00:09:58,515
I'm like, I'm telling you, it's all there.
251
00:09:58,555 --> 00:10:00,714
Well, that's not the exhaust
that this car came with.
252
00:10:00,714 --> 00:10:04,344
And I said, okay, well the original
one rotted off the car and this
253
00:10:04,344 --> 00:10:05,964
is what I put on to replace it.
254
00:10:06,170 --> 00:10:09,490
And what's funny is I went back afterwards
because I kind of started doubting myself.
255
00:10:09,569 --> 00:10:12,110
I bought my exhaust from Tectonics.
256
00:10:12,110 --> 00:10:14,130
It's DOT approved as
a replacement exhaust.
257
00:10:14,210 --> 00:10:17,479
So in my head, I'm like, again, running
these scenarios and I said to him, where
258
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,949
am I supposed to get a replacement exhaust
for an almost 22 year old Volkswagen?
259
00:10:21,949 --> 00:10:23,620
And he's like, well,
that's not my problem.
260
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:25,530
Okay, well now you're
just an asshole, right?
261
00:10:25,550 --> 00:10:26,980
And I'm like, fine, I'll
just live with that.
262
00:10:27,094 --> 00:10:31,214
And mind you, when I was pulled over, I
let it sit in idle and it just sits there
263
00:10:32,155 --> 00:10:34,344
and it's not like it lopes like a V8.
264
00:10:34,375 --> 00:10:35,704
It's pretty subdued at idle.
265
00:10:35,704 --> 00:10:37,365
Like you got to kind of
go, Oh, is it running?
266
00:10:37,444 --> 00:10:40,005
You mean you can have a conversation
with a police officer at idle?
267
00:10:40,054 --> 00:10:40,745
A hundred percent.
268
00:10:40,764 --> 00:10:43,735
But what really got under my
skin, you know, after he's
269
00:10:43,735 --> 00:10:45,064
like, you know, have a nice day.
270
00:10:45,064 --> 00:10:47,824
And I was like, you know, thanks again
for letting me know about the brake light.
271
00:10:47,854 --> 00:10:50,665
So I sit there and I read this
warning and I'm going to read it to
272
00:10:50,665 --> 00:10:52,385
you exactly the way it's written.
273
00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:56,700
Motor vehicle not equipped
with exhaust muffler system.
274
00:10:56,780 --> 00:10:59,020
Unlawful use of muffler cutoff.
275
00:10:59,070 --> 00:11:02,009
Which he didn't check to
see if that's even accurate.
276
00:11:02,020 --> 00:11:04,699
You told him to look under
the car, he refused to.
277
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,699
And if this was a TRO, or repair
order, first of all I'd get a
278
00:11:08,699 --> 00:11:10,869
lawyer involved, because there's
a bunch of things on there.
279
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,240
On this particular warning
that are incorrect that first
280
00:11:14,260 --> 00:11:15,200
would get this thrown out.
281
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,100
But second of all, the first mechanic
that puts the car in the air goes,
282
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,299
what the hell are you talking about?
283
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,570
There's a cat, there's a resonator,
and there's a muffler with a tip.
284
00:11:22,610 --> 00:11:23,469
There's no cutoff.
285
00:11:23,469 --> 00:11:24,500
There's no bypass.
286
00:11:24,549 --> 00:11:27,869
This is a DOT approved
replacement exhaust for my car.
287
00:11:27,870 --> 00:11:29,120
It's what I could afford to buy.
288
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,000
And it's what I put on there.
289
00:11:30,170 --> 00:11:32,990
It's not my problem if it's
louder and you can't tell me
290
00:11:32,990 --> 00:11:35,370
what the definition of loud is.
291
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:38,699
How about the fact that it passes
emissions every two years, every year.
292
00:11:38,710 --> 00:11:40,090
And that's the other thing I thought was.
293
00:11:40,574 --> 00:11:40,984
grace.
294
00:11:41,074 --> 00:11:46,514
I got together wit called one of our club
me cop and I told him the sto man, that
295
00:11:46,514 --> 00:11:52,754
guy was fishing know, he was a young cop,
academy, you know, all th and he goes,
296
00:11:52,874 --> 00:11:59,574
you're lucky with the repair order for
the fact that he's got yo these things,
297
00:11:59,574 --> 00:12:03,939
he's like, hold up and it'd be a nuis For
everybody, because I'd fight this, this is
298
00:12:03,939 --> 00:12:07,810
ridiculous, and I'm not running straight
pipes, I'm not running a side pipe with
299
00:12:07,810 --> 00:12:09,410
no mufflers or anything ridiculous.
300
00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:11,760
His badge number and name is on the paper?
301
00:12:11,810 --> 00:12:12,790
Oh yeah, it's all here.
302
00:12:12,910 --> 00:12:16,050
I would call, and I would talk
to his superior, and I would
303
00:12:16,050 --> 00:12:17,590
file a complaint for harassment.
304
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,010
I'm not that type of person, but it
pisses me off, but the story continues.
305
00:12:22,069 --> 00:12:23,540
Me and my big dooly went, ah!
306
00:12:23,970 --> 00:12:27,030
Yeah, and the Mustang guy coming
from the cars and coffee went by
307
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,819
at 70 mile an hour with his open
pipe, so that wasn't a problem.
308
00:12:29,890 --> 00:12:31,360
I'm in the little German car.
309
00:12:31,375 --> 00:12:33,245
Fur and car don't belong around here.
310
00:12:33,245 --> 00:12:35,795
You know, I'm, I'm like
one of two in the area.
311
00:12:35,845 --> 00:12:37,015
Yeah, I have the other one.
312
00:12:38,175 --> 00:12:41,224
So I go over to the inspection
place, which was interesting to
313
00:12:41,224 --> 00:12:44,665
even find a place that would do
a safety equipment repair order.
314
00:12:44,665 --> 00:12:44,934
Right.
315
00:12:44,934 --> 00:12:46,035
So that was the whole thing.
316
00:12:46,035 --> 00:12:49,254
So I get over there and it was recommended
by one of our sponsors, you know,
317
00:12:49,254 --> 00:12:50,894
Hey, this is where we take our cars.
318
00:12:50,895 --> 00:12:54,265
Don't bother with the local Firestone
or with the whatever, this and that.
319
00:12:54,454 --> 00:12:58,584
So I go over there early on a Monday
morning and I walk in the door and
320
00:12:58,584 --> 00:13:01,685
this lady looks at me and I look at
her and she's like, what do you want?
321
00:13:01,754 --> 00:13:04,295
And it's that voice, like the
caseworker in Beetlejuice.
322
00:13:05,004 --> 00:13:08,114
She's been smoking a pack a
day for the last 30 years.
323
00:13:08,184 --> 00:13:09,024
What's your problem?
324
00:13:09,025 --> 00:13:09,874
Why are you here?
325
00:13:09,980 --> 00:13:13,520
We just get to chit chatting a little bit
and I said, look, I got this repair order.
326
00:13:13,630 --> 00:13:14,680
That's for the taillight.
327
00:13:14,750 --> 00:13:17,699
I hate to bother you guys with this,
but it's a bother to me as well.
328
00:13:17,699 --> 00:13:20,259
And she's like, yeah, these
cops, you know, blah, blah, blah.
329
00:13:20,260 --> 00:13:22,040
They've been on the war
path the last two weeks.
330
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,859
You know, they've been putting up
blockades throughout the county,
331
00:13:24,859 --> 00:13:27,230
pulling people over, looking
at their license plates and
332
00:13:27,259 --> 00:13:28,900
registrations and this and that.
333
00:13:28,900 --> 00:13:31,270
And I was like, wow, I didn't know
that, but I knew something was up.
334
00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:33,140
We get to talking a little bit more.
335
00:13:33,180 --> 00:13:35,375
And I said, You know, it
could have been worse.
336
00:13:35,385 --> 00:13:36,555
And she goes, well, what do you mean?
337
00:13:36,555 --> 00:13:38,985
And I said, you know, he gave
me a warning for my exhaust.
338
00:13:38,995 --> 00:13:40,805
She goes, I didn't even hear you come in.
339
00:13:40,975 --> 00:13:41,985
What kind of car do you have?
340
00:13:42,245 --> 00:13:43,464
I'm like, okay.
341
00:13:43,605 --> 00:13:46,335
And she goes, you're
telling me he was scared?
342
00:13:46,365 --> 00:13:47,855
He was scared of your car?
343
00:13:47,855 --> 00:13:49,204
I need to see this thing.
344
00:13:49,245 --> 00:13:49,985
And I'm like, okay.
345
00:13:50,035 --> 00:13:51,164
So we walk outside.
346
00:13:51,195 --> 00:13:53,114
She immediately starts laughing.
347
00:13:53,165 --> 00:13:55,635
And she's not laughing because
she is laughing at my car.
348
00:13:55,675 --> 00:13:56,965
Laughing at the situation.
349
00:13:56,995 --> 00:13:59,855
Because now she recognizes
the situation, right?
350
00:13:59,865 --> 00:14:01,395
She's like, you gotta be kidding me.
351
00:14:01,550 --> 00:14:04,280
So she looks at my car and she's
like, you know, this is really nice.
352
00:14:04,319 --> 00:14:06,640
You should take it to shows
and like blah, blah, blah.
353
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,339
And I said, you know, it's
just my Sunday grocery getter.
354
00:14:09,339 --> 00:14:13,189
Like literally, I just like driving
it around town and on the B roads and,
355
00:14:13,219 --> 00:14:14,560
you know, minding my own business.
356
00:14:14,610 --> 00:14:17,370
Another guy from the shop shows
up and, you know, we chit chat
357
00:14:17,370 --> 00:14:20,279
and talking about the car and this
and that and got the hood open.
358
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:22,280
And she's looking at all
the things I've done to it.
359
00:14:22,290 --> 00:14:23,410
You know, she's a car gal.
360
00:14:23,510 --> 00:14:24,839
And she starts telling me about.
361
00:14:24,975 --> 00:14:27,964
I can't believe you'd get pulled
over in this and blah, blah.
362
00:14:28,564 --> 00:14:30,074
It's the way she worded it.
363
00:14:30,125 --> 00:14:32,834
She was going off about
her Mustang that she built.
364
00:14:32,845 --> 00:14:34,515
She's apparently got a Camaro as well.
365
00:14:34,515 --> 00:14:35,735
Some pro street car.
366
00:14:35,735 --> 00:14:37,324
She's like, God forbid they find me.
367
00:14:37,324 --> 00:14:39,724
My car's a bright red and super loud.
368
00:14:39,735 --> 00:14:41,165
And she's like, I'm going to jail.
369
00:14:41,165 --> 00:14:41,505
Right?
370
00:14:41,574 --> 00:14:43,525
So we're just BS in a little bit.
371
00:14:43,574 --> 00:14:48,675
And then she's like, all right, I
need to hear how scary your car is.
372
00:14:48,765 --> 00:14:49,735
I fired up.
373
00:14:50,025 --> 00:14:52,045
She's got this big grin on her face.
374
00:14:52,335 --> 00:14:52,795
Was that it?
375
00:14:53,175 --> 00:14:57,685
Blip the throttle to like 2, 500 and
then she goes, Yeah, that sounds good!
376
00:14:58,445 --> 00:14:59,355
I'm like, oh my god.
377
00:14:59,405 --> 00:15:00,924
Real country girl, right?
378
00:15:00,925 --> 00:15:02,505
And I mean, I was eating it up.
379
00:15:02,575 --> 00:15:04,935
And she's like, I'll be
happy to sign your paper.
380
00:15:04,974 --> 00:15:07,364
Get on out of here and have
yourself a blessed day.
381
00:15:07,365 --> 00:15:08,745
You have made my day.
382
00:15:08,775 --> 00:15:09,955
And she just started laughing.
383
00:15:09,955 --> 00:15:11,615
She's like, this is unreal, right?
384
00:15:11,664 --> 00:15:14,035
Needless to say, we got
all that taken care of.
385
00:15:14,085 --> 00:15:16,515
But I was just like, come on, man.
386
00:15:16,635 --> 00:15:17,575
Seriously?
387
00:15:17,625 --> 00:15:20,185
And I've only had this
happen to me one other time.
388
00:15:20,290 --> 00:15:23,330
And this was in my old
drape five Audi coupe.
389
00:15:23,450 --> 00:15:26,630
And I had a full exhaust on that
too, but it would reverberate off the
390
00:15:26,630 --> 00:15:28,630
buildings in like downtown Baltimore.
391
00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:32,019
And I went to go pick up my wife and
I got pulled over like within a block.
392
00:15:32,060 --> 00:15:33,920
Cause they were like, why
are you street racing?
393
00:15:35,310 --> 00:15:37,090
And it was another one
of these, I was like.
394
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,980
Dude, I'm like a block
from power plant live.
395
00:15:39,980 --> 00:15:41,570
Like, where am I going to go?
396
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,800
The streets are as wide as a Fiat 500.
397
00:15:43,810 --> 00:15:44,660
Like, are you kidding me?
398
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,179
That time they tried to get me on
a front license plate for that car,
399
00:15:48,180 --> 00:15:52,269
but I literally had the plate on the
passenger floor with a broken bracket.
400
00:15:52,310 --> 00:15:54,709
I'm like, it broke off
the car earlier today.
401
00:15:54,740 --> 00:15:56,070
Like I need to order the part.
402
00:15:56,070 --> 00:15:58,850
So they sort of like, let me go,
but it was all like, you know,
403
00:15:58,860 --> 00:16:00,470
lights and sirens and we're good.
404
00:16:01,715 --> 00:16:05,565
You know, I'm like, come on, man, I'm
not trying to be a public nuisance here.
405
00:16:05,775 --> 00:16:06,755
I'm really not.
406
00:16:06,755 --> 00:16:07,985
I'm too old for this stuff.
407
00:16:08,065 --> 00:16:11,635
But Tanya, you know, as we were talking
about this and discussing this and kind of
408
00:16:11,664 --> 00:16:15,954
peeling it apart, you discovered something
new and it's in the news now about some
409
00:16:15,954 --> 00:16:20,345
changes that are happening in our fair
state with respect to the sound of cars.
410
00:16:20,345 --> 00:16:23,915
Yeah, I'm in trouble because the MoCo
is trying to get bill passed that
411
00:16:23,915 --> 00:16:25,225
they're going to put noise cameras up.
412
00:16:25,290 --> 00:16:27,070
throughout good old MoCo, Maryland.
413
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:27,860
Can you believe that?
414
00:16:27,860 --> 00:16:30,020
Basically a speed camera, but sound.
415
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:30,310
Yeah.
416
00:16:30,310 --> 00:16:31,590
With a decibel meter on it.
417
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,060
They're going to catch
you at the speed of sound.
418
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:33,600
Take your phone.
419
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,139
Your decibels are too high.
420
00:16:36,180 --> 00:16:40,380
So what's going to happen is
we're all going to rev and then
421
00:16:40,390 --> 00:16:43,834
drop it in neutral when we all
know where the sound cameras are.
422
00:16:43,935 --> 00:16:46,655
And we're going to coast by and then
we're going to downshift and floor it.
423
00:16:46,695 --> 00:16:50,095
All your experience at
Lime Rock has paid off.
424
00:16:50,735 --> 00:16:53,934
That is so true because people actually
do that where the sound meters are.
425
00:16:53,934 --> 00:16:56,725
And I've heard they do that at Summit
Point and some other places as well.
426
00:16:56,735 --> 00:17:00,954
So, I mean, as racers, we kind of know
those games or get the dryer vent, more
427
00:17:00,954 --> 00:17:04,935
Home Depot parts and turn it away so
that the sound is, you know, pushing
428
00:17:04,944 --> 00:17:06,225
the other with a Doppler effect.
429
00:17:06,265 --> 00:17:09,825
I literally did this in town coming back
yesterday through the car in neutral.
430
00:17:09,835 --> 00:17:12,900
Cause I was like, Passing a cop with
his window open and I like threw the
431
00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:15,889
car in neutral and like ghosted by him.
432
00:17:15,890 --> 00:17:19,839
Because of all of this, your experience
hearing the Montgomery County thing,
433
00:17:19,849 --> 00:17:23,440
like all flashed in my head and I
was like, crap, not that I was doing
434
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,309
anything because I could have just
gone by at the speed I was going.
435
00:17:26,309 --> 00:17:28,850
It was, it wouldn't have been anything,
but I was like, I'm not taking a chance.
436
00:17:28,850 --> 00:17:29,609
Yeah.
437
00:17:29,610 --> 00:17:29,820
Yeah.
438
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:30,900
Not right now.
439
00:17:31,125 --> 00:17:32,605
Maryland is just a great place to live.
440
00:17:32,745 --> 00:17:33,855
It's going the way of California.
441
00:17:34,004 --> 00:17:39,075
I go back to that article from May where
we talked about, you know, how loud
442
00:17:39,075 --> 00:17:44,004
exhausts are attractive to people with
criminal minds and psychopaths and this
443
00:17:44,004 --> 00:17:45,865
and that, but it really got in my head.
444
00:17:45,865 --> 00:17:50,395
I haven't driven the car since, and I
shouldn't feel guilty to drive my own car.
445
00:17:50,495 --> 00:17:52,034
I have regular plates on it.
446
00:17:52,075 --> 00:17:54,794
I have a legal DOT approved exhaust.
447
00:17:54,935 --> 00:17:57,075
Make a copy of your paperwork
and put it in the car.
448
00:17:57,125 --> 00:17:59,675
You know what I do keep in the
car now is a spare taillight bulb.
449
00:17:59,685 --> 00:18:02,254
I was gonna say, the other lesson
learned here is have a spare
450
00:18:02,254 --> 00:18:03,565
taillight bulb in your car.
451
00:18:03,615 --> 00:18:05,365
You also might want to
get a decibel meter.
452
00:18:05,405 --> 00:18:08,144
I do actually want to get one,
which you actually can download.
453
00:18:08,165 --> 00:18:09,835
There's some apps you can
just download on your phone.
454
00:18:09,845 --> 00:18:11,235
Yeah, I would, I would do that.
455
00:18:11,285 --> 00:18:12,164
And I'm curious.
456
00:18:12,205 --> 00:18:15,800
I would almost look up the ones
that the cops Allegedly use I
457
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,500
don't I would have the same model.
458
00:18:17,630 --> 00:18:18,690
I just have it sit in the car.
459
00:18:18,690 --> 00:18:21,550
Well look officer This says it was at 95.
460
00:18:21,590 --> 00:18:23,170
What's the legal limit 102?
461
00:18:23,220 --> 00:18:27,370
Oh, you'd be in violation at 95
guarantee Is it posted anywhere?
462
00:18:27,380 --> 00:18:31,669
I mean i'm guaranteeing every state is
different But what scares me is normally
463
00:18:31,670 --> 00:18:35,040
stuff like this comes from california
first and it's weird that it's happening
464
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,120
here on the east coast Oh, no, it's not.
465
00:18:37,130 --> 00:18:37,870
It's montgomery county.
466
00:18:37,870 --> 00:18:41,879
This is normal Well, what i'm saying
is if other states buy into this Now
467
00:18:41,879 --> 00:18:45,629
suddenly it's like Switzerland where
the cars have to be whisper quiet.
468
00:18:45,660 --> 00:18:49,690
So there's been a noise camera in
Laurel for, I don't know, decades now.
469
00:18:49,770 --> 00:18:52,280
And how many times have you blown
by it at wide open throttle?
470
00:18:52,340 --> 00:18:54,279
Never, because I know it's
there, but there's also speed
471
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,330
cameras on that same road.
472
00:18:55,870 --> 00:19:00,225
But it's on a road that's Directly
with like apartments on either side.
473
00:19:00,295 --> 00:19:04,125
I understand in that area there was
probably some dipshit that kept doing
474
00:19:04,155 --> 00:19:08,735
burnouts, waking everybody up at all
hours of the night and they did that.
475
00:19:08,795 --> 00:19:12,955
So if they want to put noise cameras
in a very tight residential area, I
476
00:19:12,955 --> 00:19:14,865
don't like it but I'd understand it.
477
00:19:14,935 --> 00:19:19,155
If it's on like an open road that
you're not bothering anybody, that's BS.
478
00:19:19,245 --> 00:19:22,005
Instead of catching the criminals,
they just punish everybody else.
479
00:19:22,129 --> 00:19:23,389
Well, that's the problem.
480
00:19:23,450 --> 00:19:24,370
And there it is.
481
00:19:24,399 --> 00:19:26,870
And that's something I
noticed being in traffic.
482
00:19:26,889 --> 00:19:30,120
And it's something that I
thought is super illegal.
483
00:19:30,159 --> 00:19:32,330
And maybe I'm wrong,
but please correct me.
484
00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:35,980
I'm seeing a lot more tinted windshields.
485
00:19:36,010 --> 00:19:36,480
Yes.
486
00:19:36,540 --> 00:19:40,579
And I'm not talking just like, oh, we
put like a foot and a half of black.
487
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,090
across the top.
488
00:19:42,150 --> 00:19:45,800
I've seen two tone where it's super
dark limo tint on the first half
489
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,080
and then it's dark on the bottom.
490
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:49,740
And then I've seen like all
black where you can't see the
491
00:19:49,740 --> 00:19:52,040
driver and it's super obvious.
492
00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:56,020
If I can't see you, not that I really
want to see you in your car, but if I
493
00:19:56,020 --> 00:19:57,990
can't see you, your glass is tinted.
494
00:19:57,990 --> 00:20:01,810
Some of them are reflective on top of
that, like polarizing, which is really
495
00:20:01,810 --> 00:20:03,240
distracting in your rear view mirror.
496
00:20:03,450 --> 00:20:07,774
And I'm like, that's illegal everywhere
in the United It's like, how are
497
00:20:07,774 --> 00:20:10,425
those folks not getting pulled over?
498
00:20:10,495 --> 00:20:14,605
But you're worried about me in
my Volkswagen, which at cruise
499
00:20:14,635 --> 00:20:18,195
altitude doing 50 miles an
hour, the car gets really quiet.
500
00:20:18,254 --> 00:20:21,135
So I'm going to say low hanging fruit.
501
00:20:21,175 --> 00:20:25,224
You are the lower chance of causing
a headache in that guy's day.
502
00:20:25,264 --> 00:20:28,165
The person with willing to do
the tenant windows is probably.
503
00:20:28,185 --> 00:20:32,435
Doing some other nefarious things
and you're just JoBlo citizen
504
00:20:32,435 --> 00:20:33,685
just trying to putt around.
505
00:20:33,825 --> 00:20:35,345
I think you're, you
were low hanging fruit.
506
00:20:35,375 --> 00:20:36,855
Why waste the time to pull me over?
507
00:20:36,864 --> 00:20:38,264
Especially if I wasn't speeding.
508
00:20:38,264 --> 00:20:38,905
Come on.
509
00:20:38,965 --> 00:20:39,645
Like what's the point?
510
00:20:39,645 --> 00:20:41,625
He saw that brake light
after you pulled over.
511
00:20:41,845 --> 00:20:42,695
That's true too.
512
00:20:42,734 --> 00:20:45,324
Well, if you were in a light though,
he may have saw it at the light.
513
00:20:45,365 --> 00:20:47,294
So that's the thing
about that traffic light.
514
00:20:47,345 --> 00:20:50,340
I couldn't see him because I'm always
kind of Scanning and looking around,
515
00:20:50,340 --> 00:20:53,100
make sure, you know, some dump
truck isn't coming without breaks.
516
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:57,389
But he was so far back in the
line that I didn't see him.
517
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,100
He was grasping at straws the whole time.
518
00:20:59,100 --> 00:20:59,370
Right.
519
00:20:59,370 --> 00:21:04,530
And he heard me because I was the first
in line of the three cars as we're
520
00:21:04,530 --> 00:21:06,720
turning and I stuck out like a sore thumb.
521
00:21:06,750 --> 00:21:08,370
'cause it's like, oh, look at that car.
522
00:21:08,370 --> 00:21:09,120
That goodness.
523
00:21:09,149 --> 00:21:12,629
But he probably thought I was
gonna do a smoky burnout and run
524
00:21:12,629 --> 00:21:13,800
down at a hundred miles an hour.
525
00:21:13,860 --> 00:21:17,340
But you know, what else is funny is
not even a half mile down from that
526
00:21:17,340 --> 00:21:19,510
intersection is the police barracks.
527
00:21:19,580 --> 00:21:20,590
I'm not an idiot.
528
00:21:20,650 --> 00:21:23,230
I'm not going to go blow and buy
there at a hundred miles an hour.
529
00:21:23,230 --> 00:21:25,880
Like that's literally the
dumbest thing you could do.
530
00:21:25,980 --> 00:21:27,219
I would have gone straight there.
531
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,409
I'd have pulled right in there with my
little notice and said, I want to file
532
00:21:30,409 --> 00:21:32,460
a complaint against officer Buford here.
533
00:21:32,490 --> 00:21:34,240
Well, and that's what our friend said.
534
00:21:34,250 --> 00:21:37,250
The former cop, he's like, go
change your bulb and drive right
535
00:21:37,250 --> 00:21:39,700
over to the barracks right now and
get them to sign the paperwork.
536
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:40,400
And I was like, you know what?
537
00:21:40,430 --> 00:21:41,329
I'm not going to tempt fate.
538
00:21:41,830 --> 00:21:44,050
that this guy is gonna be there.
539
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:45,760
I just don't want to do it.
540
00:21:45,790 --> 00:21:46,840
What would he have gotten you on?
541
00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:49,330
He can get you on a lot
on that car, technically.
542
00:21:49,420 --> 00:21:52,120
Lowered suspension, blah, blah, blah.
543
00:21:52,239 --> 00:21:54,719
Oh, all these stupid marijuana laws
that I don't have to deal with.
544
00:21:54,730 --> 00:21:55,060
That's right.
545
00:21:55,060 --> 00:21:55,980
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
546
00:21:55,989 --> 00:21:56,420
Just wait.
547
00:21:56,420 --> 00:21:57,290
It'll come to you too.
548
00:21:57,379 --> 00:21:58,880
On rural Virginia.
549
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:00,219
But let's face it.
550
00:22:00,270 --> 00:22:01,360
It could be worse.
551
00:22:01,410 --> 00:22:06,370
Have you heard about all the tunes
and the tuners and all the shops?
552
00:22:06,450 --> 00:22:07,320
That are closing.
553
00:22:07,380 --> 00:22:11,250
Cobb just got charged that they
owe like 2.9 million, almost 3
554
00:22:11,250 --> 00:22:12,180
million or something like that.
555
00:22:12,180 --> 00:22:13,860
3 million for selling.
556
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,900
Basically what the EPA is qualifying
as emissions defeat devices.
557
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:19,740
Are they wrong?
558
00:22:19,830 --> 00:22:20,700
No.
559
00:22:20,730 --> 00:22:21,090
No.
560
00:22:21,090 --> 00:22:25,470
The way tunes are designed today, I
would say there's more of that going on
561
00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:29,460
because like Brad's car and my car, or
even your car, Tanya, you get a chip.
562
00:22:29,490 --> 00:22:32,340
It's not really designed
to change emissions.
563
00:22:32,660 --> 00:22:36,900
It's designed to remap, let's say the VE
table, the volumetric efficiency table
564
00:22:36,910 --> 00:22:38,470
or the timing table or whatever it is.
565
00:22:38,470 --> 00:22:41,339
Give you a little bit more fuel, a
little bit more rev or whatever it is,
566
00:22:41,420 --> 00:22:45,040
but they weren't going in there and
systematically turning off functions
567
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,669
of the engine to bypass, let's say
particulate filters or exhaust gas
568
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,010
recirculation or things like that.
569
00:22:50,010 --> 00:22:52,230
So I understand where does this end?
570
00:22:52,370 --> 00:22:56,430
I'm sure there's a cutoff where they'll
retroactively say, okay, well if you got a
571
00:22:56,430 --> 00:22:58,590
tune on a 20 year old car, we don't care.
572
00:22:58,660 --> 00:23:00,800
This is clinching down on the aftermarket.
573
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:06,050
If you pass emissions with a tune today
on a modern car, let's say it's a Subaru
574
00:23:06,050 --> 00:23:08,010
or a Volkswagen or a Mazda or whatever.
575
00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:10,110
If you pass, does it matter?
576
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:14,399
Like how are the drivers and
the owners going to suffer from
577
00:23:14,439 --> 00:23:15,610
what Cobb is going through?
578
00:23:15,610 --> 00:23:17,449
Like what's the butterfly effect of this?
579
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:18,500
I'm just dumbfounded.
580
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:20,309
I don't even know what to say about this.
581
00:23:20,350 --> 00:23:23,000
If that wasn't bad enough and
you were talking about, you know,
582
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,139
we're all here in the DMV together
suffering equally in some ways.
583
00:23:26,410 --> 00:23:27,720
There are worse states.
584
00:23:27,780 --> 00:23:28,370
No doubt.
585
00:23:28,450 --> 00:23:32,660
Ours don't even make the list of the
worst states to be a car owner in.
586
00:23:32,710 --> 00:23:34,090
Well, I know number one is California.
587
00:23:34,170 --> 00:23:35,050
Oh, 100 percent.
588
00:23:35,070 --> 00:23:37,190
My guess is Colorado is another.
589
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,129
Oh, it sucks to be in Washington D.
590
00:23:39,129 --> 00:23:39,389
C.
591
00:23:39,389 --> 00:23:39,950
owning a car.
592
00:23:40,859 --> 00:23:41,099
D.
593
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:41,369
C.
594
00:23:41,369 --> 00:23:42,789
didn't make the list either.
595
00:23:42,919 --> 00:23:44,419
We won't do the whole Letterman thing.
596
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:45,200
Check this out.
597
00:23:45,230 --> 00:23:46,919
Here's the surprise ones to me.
598
00:23:47,050 --> 00:23:49,010
New Mexico and Arkansas.
599
00:23:49,090 --> 00:23:51,110
Alaska, that's sort of obvious.
600
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,300
Brad, you're 100 percent right.
601
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:53,639
Colorado's on that list.
602
00:23:53,730 --> 00:23:55,620
Oregon's on that list too.
603
00:23:55,690 --> 00:23:57,059
California's on that list.
604
00:23:57,129 --> 00:24:00,990
You've got Georgia, Nevada,
and tied for third, Florida.
605
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:02,750
I disagree.
606
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,459
Florida is surprising to me.
607
00:24:04,459 --> 00:24:07,790
But the things that they include
like fuel costs and car insurance,
608
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,870
I was thinking, you know, pivoting
from our last discussion, I was
609
00:24:10,870 --> 00:24:14,320
thinking it'd be more on like the,
like the EPA and the restrictions.
610
00:24:14,370 --> 00:24:16,889
This isn't just registration fees, right?
611
00:24:16,909 --> 00:24:20,279
This is the most expensive states
in the country to own a car today.
612
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:20,709
Okay.
613
00:24:20,709 --> 00:24:24,959
Cause I was going to call BS because
Texas should not like Maryland can't
614
00:24:24,980 --> 00:24:26,929
not be on this list of Texas is there.
615
00:24:26,929 --> 00:24:28,394
I know how much registration was, but.
616
00:24:28,465 --> 00:24:31,475
Per year in Texas and Maryland
has now exceeded that.
617
00:24:31,514 --> 00:24:34,405
Well, I'm glad you brought
that up because I had to renew
618
00:24:34,405 --> 00:24:36,405
the registration on the Jeep.
619
00:24:36,514 --> 00:24:39,985
I got to tell you, it
is, it was probably 70%.
620
00:24:40,305 --> 00:24:44,814
It is a 58 percent increase
over two years ago.
621
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,940
5, 000 pound vehicles in this
state, 187 for two years.
622
00:24:48,950 --> 00:24:51,750
And a lot of people are going, Oh,
compared to my state, that's cheap.
623
00:24:51,750 --> 00:24:53,510
California, man, like thousand dollars.
624
00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:55,160
I've heard stories and stuff.
625
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,689
And there's other places that are
super cheap where it's like Ohio.
626
00:24:57,689 --> 00:24:59,849
And it's like 40 bucks to
register your car kind of deal.
627
00:24:59,929 --> 00:25:03,780
But when you go from 187, which
was already a price increase
628
00:25:03,790 --> 00:25:04,760
from when it was one foot.
629
00:25:04,790 --> 00:25:09,430
49 and before that it was like 127
and whatever, it's jumped through
630
00:25:09,450 --> 00:25:13,629
COVID and now 323 for two years.
631
00:25:13,660 --> 00:25:17,480
It was really hilarious as I got the
letter in the mail from the DMV, I walk
632
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,799
in and I'm talking to my wife and I
said, this is the most expensive sticker
633
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,500
I've ever put on anything in my life.
634
00:25:22,540 --> 00:25:23,389
Cause that's all you get.
635
00:25:23,430 --> 00:25:25,470
No, you get a little three by three part.
636
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,190
That piece of paper is worth it.
637
00:25:27,620 --> 00:25:31,200
You get a sticker that says, Oh, you'll
get pulled over for something else.
638
00:25:33,145 --> 00:25:35,855
And I sort of wondered to myself
like why all this stuff isn't
639
00:25:35,855 --> 00:25:37,505
digital, why it even matters.
640
00:25:37,505 --> 00:25:41,105
There should be almost a barcode
on your tag that they could
641
00:25:41,105 --> 00:25:44,345
just scan and look up and see if
your registration is up to date.
642
00:25:44,375 --> 00:25:47,195
You know, it's almost like
they can pull your plates.
643
00:25:47,215 --> 00:25:50,665
It's almost like they can just read
your tag and look up information
644
00:25:50,665 --> 00:25:52,495
about you in the DMV system.
645
00:25:52,525 --> 00:25:53,405
No.
646
00:25:53,455 --> 00:25:54,375
They can't do that now?
647
00:25:54,405 --> 00:25:55,665
This is Star Trek, dude.
648
00:25:55,804 --> 00:25:57,155
technology you're talking about.
649
00:25:57,155 --> 00:25:58,735
Oh my god, beam me up Scotty.
650
00:25:58,764 --> 00:26:02,185
Although I do kind of like being a look at
people and being like, look at this hasn't
651
00:26:02,185 --> 00:26:04,024
renewed his tags in like five years.
652
00:26:04,105 --> 00:26:06,155
But again, that guy's
not getting pulled over.
653
00:26:06,225 --> 00:26:09,645
No getting pulled over for
having a one out of your two
654
00:26:09,665 --> 00:26:11,414
license plate lights burned out.
655
00:26:11,555 --> 00:26:12,855
because they were 20 years old.
656
00:26:12,855 --> 00:26:14,155
That happened to me another time too.
657
00:26:14,155 --> 00:26:16,595
Luckily, I didn't get a repair
order for that one, but I was like,
658
00:26:16,615 --> 00:26:18,025
again, thank you for telling me.
659
00:26:18,665 --> 00:26:19,195
Okay.
660
00:26:19,265 --> 00:26:20,565
Is it really that important?
661
00:26:20,635 --> 00:26:21,055
No.
662
00:26:21,215 --> 00:26:21,515
Okay.
663
00:26:21,545 --> 00:26:23,554
Meanwhile, what about that
guy who just drove by?
664
00:26:23,564 --> 00:26:25,065
His muffler's dragging on the ground.
665
00:26:25,065 --> 00:26:25,234
Hold on.
666
00:26:25,234 --> 00:26:25,394
Hold on.
667
00:26:25,394 --> 00:26:26,215
Wait, wait, wait.
668
00:26:26,285 --> 00:26:26,985
I heard a Mustang.
669
00:26:27,085 --> 00:26:27,754
Are there sirens?
670
00:26:28,944 --> 00:26:30,495
Oh, come on.
671
00:26:30,575 --> 00:26:32,225
What about every Altima on the road?
672
00:26:32,295 --> 00:26:32,785
Please.
673
00:26:32,785 --> 00:26:33,555
That's unfair.
674
00:26:33,565 --> 00:26:34,345
You're targeting.
675
00:26:34,385 --> 00:26:37,425
Not to get political, but how many of
these states are liberal run states?
676
00:26:37,545 --> 00:26:39,954
Our fair state is questionable
every other day of the week.
677
00:26:39,955 --> 00:26:40,615
So I don't know.
678
00:26:40,810 --> 00:26:41,690
But this continues.
679
00:26:41,690 --> 00:26:41,950
Okay.
680
00:26:41,950 --> 00:26:42,640
This continues.
681
00:26:42,650 --> 00:26:43,690
So we got more.
682
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,100
Oh, you're, you're kidding.
683
00:26:45,190 --> 00:26:46,550
Oh, wait, there's more.
684
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:48,670
I love this.
685
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,100
So I told you it's personal.
686
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:53,140
This whole showcases the stories of
what's happened over the last month.
687
00:26:53,180 --> 00:26:53,790
Look at this guy.
688
00:26:53,810 --> 00:26:55,049
He doesn't drive anywhere.
689
00:26:55,050 --> 00:26:57,754
And then like he's driving
somewhere for like, Two weeks
690
00:26:57,774 --> 00:26:58,885
and look at all these stories.
691
00:26:59,175 --> 00:26:59,905
All right, what's next?
692
00:26:59,935 --> 00:27:02,615
So I'm back in the minivan
driving the kids to the city, all
693
00:27:02,615 --> 00:27:03,735
this kind of stuff for school.
694
00:27:03,845 --> 00:27:06,134
And I decided I'm going to work remote.
695
00:27:06,185 --> 00:27:08,804
I'm going to be closer to school
because if something happens when the
696
00:27:08,804 --> 00:27:11,415
kids get sick, I don't want to have
to drive all the way and get stuck in
697
00:27:11,415 --> 00:27:12,385
traffic and all this kind of thing.
698
00:27:12,405 --> 00:27:14,305
So I'm going to do my homework.
699
00:27:14,355 --> 00:27:17,415
And I did way too much like
I do when I buy anything.
700
00:27:17,504 --> 00:27:18,925
I'm going to buy myself.
701
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,550
an electric scooter to get around town.
702
00:27:21,620 --> 00:27:22,710
It's going to be super cool.
703
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:28,320
So let me tell you, it's really difficult
to find adult rated EV scooters that
704
00:27:28,419 --> 00:27:35,529
A, are the right weight requirement,
balance of power, range, and then speed.
705
00:27:35,540 --> 00:27:37,819
So those are sort of like
the four categories, right?
706
00:27:37,820 --> 00:27:39,520
You have to look at, and it
started reminding me of like,
707
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,560
if I was purchasing an electric
vehicle, I got to look at weight.
708
00:27:42,580 --> 00:27:43,460
I got to look at speed.
709
00:27:43,460 --> 00:27:47,560
I got to look at range, anxiety
is a thing on the scooter as well.
710
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:48,480
Let me tell you.
711
00:27:48,705 --> 00:27:54,874
I ended up buying a Varla Wasp, which
comes in as the lightest adult scooter.
712
00:27:54,935 --> 00:27:57,774
It doesn't have the highest top
speed, but it has decent range,
713
00:27:57,804 --> 00:28:00,284
but lightest at 32 pounds.
714
00:28:00,344 --> 00:28:05,715
The ones that like really haul ass,
like a Lime or a Spin or some of the
715
00:28:05,715 --> 00:28:10,084
other ones you see in the city, those
things can weigh upwards of 50, 60,
716
00:28:10,175 --> 00:28:14,614
80, 100 pounds, because the faster
you go, the more battery you need.
717
00:28:14,705 --> 00:28:18,805
And if you're running dual motor, which
mine is not, mine's a single 350 watt
718
00:28:18,805 --> 00:28:20,625
motor, it can save all that weight.
719
00:28:20,725 --> 00:28:23,135
But the problem is it's not very fast.
720
00:28:23,205 --> 00:28:24,445
So again, I'm in the city.
721
00:28:24,545 --> 00:28:25,625
It's pretty hilly.
722
00:28:25,715 --> 00:28:29,515
And what I noticed right away was I
either have to do the old school, like
723
00:28:29,515 --> 00:28:32,494
you're on a skateboard and put out
one leg and give it some help going
724
00:28:32,494 --> 00:28:34,095
up the hills, or I have to walk it.
725
00:28:34,125 --> 00:28:37,754
It just doesn't have the torque to
carry me in my backpack up a hill.
726
00:28:37,805 --> 00:28:39,445
So that gave me pause.
727
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,370
After like the first day of
riding and I said, you know, yeah,
728
00:28:42,370 --> 00:28:43,720
there's some bike lanes here.
729
00:28:43,810 --> 00:28:47,430
They're really out in traffic and the
people here are a little bit crazy.
730
00:28:47,490 --> 00:28:48,930
And I just don't feel comfortable.
731
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,920
And the bike path doesn't go
all the way to where I'm going.
732
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,200
I have to get up on the sidewalk.
733
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,050
I have to get out of the way,
like all these kinds of things.
734
00:28:55,170 --> 00:28:57,589
I figured I'll try to ride
the sidewalk when I can.
735
00:28:57,599 --> 00:29:01,210
And if I see people, especially people
with dogs, I dismount, I get off.
736
00:29:01,210 --> 00:29:03,770
I put the scooter on the grass and
I just walk along the sidewalk,
737
00:29:03,770 --> 00:29:05,120
like I'm walking and I just push it.
738
00:29:05,140 --> 00:29:07,400
And I'm trying to be very
respectful of all the pedestrians.
739
00:29:07,625 --> 00:29:12,405
That said, I was coming back one
afternoon, I'm like by myself, and I'm
740
00:29:12,405 --> 00:29:16,294
just cruising down on the sidewalk,
and this young girl passed me on one
741
00:29:16,294 --> 00:29:19,054
of the big scooters, I mean, she just
blew by me, like I wasn't moving,
742
00:29:19,104 --> 00:29:22,869
and then when I say, this thing is
slow, it's about as fast as a car.
743
00:29:22,939 --> 00:29:25,520
As a runner, it does like
eight or nine miles an hour.
744
00:29:25,570 --> 00:29:30,159
If I'm going downhill pushed by a Metro
bus, it could probably hit its top
745
00:29:30,159 --> 00:29:33,179
speed of 15 or whatever it's supposed
to do, but it doesn't do that on the
746
00:29:33,179 --> 00:29:36,459
regular does like eight or nine mile
an hour, which is faster than walking,
747
00:29:36,459 --> 00:29:40,540
but it's whatever, what I realized
was when I tried to use the bike lane.
748
00:29:40,645 --> 00:29:44,005
I was too slow and the bicyclists were
pissed and I was just in their way
749
00:29:44,045 --> 00:29:45,415
and it was just, this is ridiculous.
750
00:29:45,475 --> 00:29:49,105
Again, I'm coming home one afternoon,
I'm by myself and then I see
751
00:29:49,105 --> 00:29:52,175
this little old lady and she's
got her cane 50 feet from her.
752
00:29:52,175 --> 00:29:55,844
I dismount and I just start walking
and I have the scooter in the grass and
753
00:29:55,845 --> 00:29:59,104
she gets in the middle of the sidewalk
and she gets as big as she can and
754
00:29:59,115 --> 00:30:01,345
she starts shaking her finger at me.
755
00:30:01,510 --> 00:30:05,959
And she starts yelling at me and she was
like let me tell you I've had enough.
756
00:30:06,169 --> 00:30:09,919
I've had enough of these scooters and
da da da and the bicyclists and the
757
00:30:09,929 --> 00:30:13,929
bicyclists should be all be put in jail
and blah blah blah and I was like yes
758
00:30:13,929 --> 00:30:15,899
ma'am yes ma'am I'm so sorry yes ma'am.
759
00:30:16,030 --> 00:30:17,909
I would have exploded her ass.
760
00:30:17,949 --> 00:30:23,370
Oh she went off and she went off and so
I said I understand but I dismounted from
761
00:30:23,379 --> 00:30:27,570
the sidewalk and now I am walking and
you are blocking me you're on my side.
762
00:30:27,590 --> 00:30:28,370
Side of the sidewalk.
763
00:30:28,370 --> 00:30:30,649
She said, there is no
side to the sidewalk.
764
00:30:30,679 --> 00:30:33,320
This is my sidewalk and
I'm gonna walk here.
765
00:30:33,379 --> 00:30:34,310
And I'm like, well damn.
766
00:30:34,340 --> 00:30:34,850
Okay.
767
00:30:34,909 --> 00:30:36,050
You own the town.
768
00:30:36,050 --> 00:30:37,820
Apparently she must have
been the mayor or something.
769
00:30:37,820 --> 00:30:38,000
Right?
770
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,120
At 97 years old, that
would've infuriated me more.
771
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,720
I don't need to get into a fight with
anybody, just like, I don't want to
772
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,699
get into an argument with the cop.
773
00:30:46,730 --> 00:30:48,020
It's a Danny Glover moment.
774
00:30:48,020 --> 00:30:49,280
You're like, I'm too old for this.
775
00:30:49,735 --> 00:30:52,365
And as soon as I part ways with
you, I'm never going to see
776
00:30:52,365 --> 00:30:53,285
you again and I don't care.
777
00:30:53,335 --> 00:30:56,365
That's why I told her to go F
herself and kept going because
778
00:30:56,365 --> 00:30:57,525
I've never seen her again.
779
00:30:57,585 --> 00:31:01,385
Then it became like this political
rant and I'm like, ma'am, I have to go.
780
00:31:01,445 --> 00:31:02,385
I could care less.
781
00:31:02,394 --> 00:31:04,545
You stayed way longer
than I ever would have.
782
00:31:04,644 --> 00:31:06,534
I don't even know if I would
have said anything to her.
783
00:31:06,534 --> 00:31:07,625
I would have just kept going.
784
00:31:07,644 --> 00:31:08,394
I would have ignored her.
785
00:31:08,435 --> 00:31:09,515
She'd have been nothing to me.
786
00:31:09,525 --> 00:31:10,245
I guess.
787
00:31:10,245 --> 00:31:13,615
I just don't need anybody reporting
me or, oh, there's a guy running
788
00:31:13,615 --> 00:31:15,335
around and, you know, he looks like.
789
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,260
Newsflash, they're gonna report you
anyway, you don't look like them.
790
00:31:19,409 --> 00:31:19,770
It's true.
791
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,489
You know, Tanya brought up a good point.
792
00:31:21,510 --> 00:31:24,830
She was like, it's not always
legal everywhere to ride
793
00:31:24,830 --> 00:31:26,590
the scooter on the sidewalk.
794
00:31:26,699 --> 00:31:30,520
And I noticed on the bigger ones,
the rental ones, it literally says
795
00:31:30,570 --> 00:31:33,969
on the base plate where you stand,
it says, do not ride on the sidewalk.
796
00:31:33,989 --> 00:31:35,909
And I'm like, I get it
because those things haul ass.
797
00:31:35,929 --> 00:31:37,610
They do like 30 miles an hour, right?
798
00:31:37,610 --> 00:31:39,139
And you know who rides
them on the sidewalk?
799
00:31:39,274 --> 00:31:41,915
Everybody that rents one safer.
800
00:31:42,225 --> 00:31:42,925
Exactly.
801
00:31:42,975 --> 00:31:43,455
It is.
802
00:31:43,485 --> 00:31:46,044
And the old lady did say, she's
going, I understand that you
803
00:31:46,044 --> 00:31:47,585
don't want to get hit by a car.
804
00:31:47,645 --> 00:31:50,175
And I'm like, okay, let's
just stop there for a moment.
805
00:31:50,205 --> 00:31:51,034
And that is true.
806
00:31:51,064 --> 00:31:54,294
I am fearful to use the bike
lane, even if it's available,
807
00:31:54,294 --> 00:31:56,684
because again, it is too slow.
808
00:31:56,724 --> 00:32:00,484
And I don't want to cause a bicyclist
to have an issue because they are
809
00:32:00,484 --> 00:32:03,664
going faster than me because they're
capable of going faster than me.
810
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:08,510
But I've noticed though everybody with
a dog that takes the time to say good
811
00:32:08,510 --> 00:32:12,600
morning or hello or whatever has been
like oh thank you so much for not scaring
812
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,360
my dog because you see the dogs get all
antsy they don't even like the cars in
813
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,189
the city let alone the scooters everybody
else I'll just ride along and they're
814
00:32:20,189 --> 00:32:24,580
like good morning hello and it's like
you know this happy middle America type
815
00:32:24,580 --> 00:32:28,110
of neighborhood it's super weird like
I'm living in this bubble that I just
816
00:32:28,110 --> 00:32:31,029
don't understand and it's like I don't
know I just can't put up with the whole
817
00:32:31,039 --> 00:32:34,654
being yelled at by everybody I guess the
bigger point is it's like some people
818
00:32:34,654 --> 00:32:36,774
respect the bicyclists and the scooters.
819
00:32:36,804 --> 00:32:40,854
I will say that I have seen some
crazy stuff from the bike messengers
820
00:32:40,874 --> 00:32:43,374
because they do still exist in
the city with their fixed gear
821
00:32:43,374 --> 00:32:46,624
bikes and they just blow through
intersections and they could care less.
822
00:32:46,624 --> 00:32:48,524
And I'm like, wow, that's brave.
823
00:32:48,554 --> 00:32:49,709
That's the word I'm going to use for it.
824
00:32:50,140 --> 00:32:52,430
But I'm like, uh, okay.
825
00:32:52,470 --> 00:32:55,570
What really gave me pause about all
this, and I'm still riding the scooter,
826
00:32:55,570 --> 00:32:57,650
I don't really care, and I ride on
the sidewalk, and I tell you what,
827
00:32:57,650 --> 00:33:00,950
there's this one kid every day, dude,
he meanders down the sidewalk, and I
828
00:33:00,970 --> 00:33:03,409
literally have to yell to him, Eyes up!
829
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:03,940
Eyes up!
830
00:33:03,980 --> 00:33:06,609
He's just gonna run into me, not
because I'm trying to run into
831
00:33:06,610 --> 00:33:09,100
him, because he's not looking, he's
playing Pokemon Go or something.
832
00:33:09,170 --> 00:33:10,930
But I fear for him.
833
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,950
I fear for myself, maybe some of the
other people, because there's an article
834
00:33:14,950 --> 00:33:20,349
that came out recently from the NHTSA
addressing the bigness of the vehicles,
835
00:33:20,349 --> 00:33:24,910
especially trucks and SUV, and they're
trying to, I guess, trim the fat.
836
00:33:24,950 --> 00:33:27,670
But I really want to know
what the definition of a quote
837
00:33:27,670 --> 00:33:30,550
unquote excessively SUV is.
838
00:33:30,570 --> 00:33:32,190
Where do we draw the line on that?
839
00:33:32,210 --> 00:33:35,670
Well, it's the same definition
as excessively loud, right?
840
00:33:35,735 --> 00:33:39,524
In Brad's perspective, he doesn't
think any of them are excessively tall.
841
00:33:39,564 --> 00:33:43,705
From my perspective, when the headlight
is at the height of my head, I'm
842
00:33:43,705 --> 00:33:46,014
sorry, that is excessively tall.
843
00:33:46,074 --> 00:33:46,485
Well, yeah.
844
00:33:46,485 --> 00:33:50,444
If you're standing outside the vehicle,
the headlights or the, or the bumper
845
00:33:50,445 --> 00:33:51,814
is at your head, that's too tall.
846
00:33:51,854 --> 00:33:52,094
Yes.
847
00:33:52,145 --> 00:33:52,634
I agree.
848
00:33:52,684 --> 00:33:53,914
You're not a Mack truck.
849
00:33:53,965 --> 00:33:55,905
You're not off roading in the bush.
850
00:33:55,925 --> 00:33:56,284
Yeah.
851
00:33:56,334 --> 00:33:58,544
You don't need a eight inch lift.
852
00:33:58,625 --> 00:34:02,595
With 42 inch tires on your F
three 50, it's unnecessary.
853
00:34:02,645 --> 00:34:03,765
I love those trucks though.
854
00:34:03,765 --> 00:34:06,785
And then they have a 12 inch drop on
their trailer hitch because they're
855
00:34:06,785 --> 00:34:08,294
too tall to actually tow anything.
856
00:34:09,305 --> 00:34:10,815
So they can tow their mulch trail.
857
00:34:10,914 --> 00:34:13,325
No, cause the guy's five foot
nothing and he can't get in.
858
00:34:13,414 --> 00:34:14,505
Or he can't get it up either.
859
00:34:15,665 --> 00:34:17,925
Going back to what we were
talking about with the cop.
860
00:34:18,060 --> 00:34:21,300
I've never seen one of these
bro dozers pulled over before.
861
00:34:21,300 --> 00:34:22,880
I had one behind me even today.
862
00:34:22,950 --> 00:34:26,910
F 150 that's been lifted, what looks
like a foot, and the tires are sticking
863
00:34:26,910 --> 00:34:28,670
out eight inches on either side.
864
00:34:28,700 --> 00:34:30,170
Which is also illegal in Maryland.
865
00:34:30,180 --> 00:34:33,440
The windshield is pitch black,
and then he's blowing diesel
866
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,500
smoke, rolling coal out stacks,
and yet I got pulled over, right?
867
00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:40,670
And I'm not trying to play the
victim here, but I'm like, really?
868
00:34:40,750 --> 00:34:41,380
That's okay?
869
00:34:41,380 --> 00:34:41,950
That's cool?
870
00:34:41,950 --> 00:34:43,650
And he's loud because those
diesels aren't working.
871
00:34:44,125 --> 00:34:46,355
How many shotguns did
you see in his gun rack?
872
00:34:46,985 --> 00:34:52,474
What's funny about all this is I never
really took it seriously until I became
873
00:34:52,474 --> 00:34:56,375
like more of a hardcore let's say
pedestrian everyday in the city and
874
00:34:56,375 --> 00:34:58,375
really like being involved in traffic.
875
00:34:58,375 --> 00:35:00,665
When you're in a car you're sort
of protected you don't think about
876
00:35:00,665 --> 00:35:03,575
yeah there's a brodozer but when
you're on a scooter doing like
877
00:35:03,715 --> 00:35:07,375
Eight and one goes by you and kind
of like nearly knocks you over.
878
00:35:07,375 --> 00:35:11,635
You're just like, you have a pucker
moment on both sides of your body.
879
00:35:11,635 --> 00:35:12,864
That is pretty incredible.
880
00:35:12,915 --> 00:35:17,735
But what I also noticed that I never
considered is how scary EVs can be.
881
00:35:18,894 --> 00:35:21,914
So it goes back to what we were
talking about before the cars need
882
00:35:21,914 --> 00:35:23,445
to make a little bit of noise.
883
00:35:23,660 --> 00:35:27,130
Because you could have a Prius
or a Tesla just creep up on you.
884
00:35:27,270 --> 00:35:31,270
I had an electric BMW following
me up a hill on a side street
885
00:35:31,310 --> 00:35:33,590
that was like only a car wide.
886
00:35:33,649 --> 00:35:37,229
I didn't know he was back there
until I heard like the crack of
887
00:35:37,229 --> 00:35:39,010
the tire roll over like a twig.
888
00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:41,155
And I was like, Oh my God,
there's something behind me.
889
00:35:41,215 --> 00:35:42,465
And he had been there a while.
890
00:35:42,465 --> 00:35:45,095
And then as soon as I realized that
he was there, I got out of the way
891
00:35:45,155 --> 00:35:48,535
and then he just floored it and took
off just like a bat out of hell.
892
00:35:48,605 --> 00:35:50,485
He didn't honk the horn or
anything like that, which
893
00:35:50,505 --> 00:35:51,585
probably would have startled me.
894
00:35:51,585 --> 00:35:51,754
Right?
895
00:35:51,754 --> 00:35:53,055
Because again, I didn't hear him.
896
00:35:53,115 --> 00:35:55,825
What you were describing though,
it reminds me of that scene in the
897
00:35:55,825 --> 00:35:59,495
office where Andy and Dwight are
dueling in the parking lot and Andy
898
00:35:59,665 --> 00:36:01,624
creeps up on him in the Prius, like.
899
00:36:01,695 --> 00:36:02,685
Five miles an hour.
900
00:36:02,685 --> 00:36:03,585
So you can't hear them.
901
00:36:03,635 --> 00:36:04,525
Exactly.
902
00:36:04,575 --> 00:36:07,345
I think you need to get yourself one
of those high visibility jackets,
903
00:36:07,385 --> 00:36:08,735
like the construction workers wear.
904
00:36:08,765 --> 00:36:10,375
I got a bright red backpack, man.
905
00:36:10,385 --> 00:36:10,965
You can see it.
906
00:36:11,005 --> 00:36:14,135
Those yum, yum, yellow vests and wear
that as you're going down the road.
907
00:36:14,224 --> 00:36:17,425
I'll wear the GTM media
polos from the track days.
908
00:36:17,455 --> 00:36:18,775
That is perfect.
909
00:36:19,315 --> 00:36:21,674
But there was another article,
and this is again, where I
910
00:36:21,674 --> 00:36:23,074
think big brother is listening.
911
00:36:23,114 --> 00:36:27,055
And it's a bit of a de doy moment
here, as Brad likes to say, but quicker
912
00:36:27,095 --> 00:36:29,355
EVs might lead to more accidents.
913
00:36:29,415 --> 00:36:30,664
Oh, you don't say.
914
00:36:31,060 --> 00:36:34,960
But there's one more part, Brad, and
I don't know if you put it out there
915
00:36:34,990 --> 00:36:38,940
in the world, gave me the karma, but
I'm gonna get one of those signs like
916
00:36:38,940 --> 00:36:40,350
they used to have in the factories.
917
00:36:40,710 --> 00:36:41,100
Do I still use those?
918
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:45,010
That says, X number of days since
incident, because guess what?
919
00:36:45,199 --> 00:36:46,730
The Pacifica's back in the shop.
920
00:36:46,819 --> 00:36:48,230
Oh my god, what happened?
921
00:36:48,370 --> 00:36:52,615
Well, it's been 200 days since Since
it's been in the shop, so that's seven
922
00:36:52,615 --> 00:36:54,335
months for those of you counting at home.
923
00:36:54,495 --> 00:36:58,265
I was driving it into the city like I
do every morning and I didn't warn the
924
00:36:58,265 --> 00:37:02,775
girls, but the dashboard lit up like
Times Square, all sorts of lights.
925
00:37:02,835 --> 00:37:05,934
Then a big red wrench with a
lightning bolt in the middle.
926
00:37:05,934 --> 00:37:08,894
And it says service hybrid system now.
927
00:37:08,894 --> 00:37:13,154
And I'm like, Ooh, something's
about to go seriously wrong.
928
00:37:13,214 --> 00:37:17,994
I got them dropped off and then basically
took a minute to get my thoughts together.
929
00:37:18,220 --> 00:37:21,200
Talk to my wife, like, Oh my God,
we're going to about to be down a car.
930
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:22,353
That's true.
931
00:37:22,353 --> 00:37:22,930
Yeah.
932
00:37:22,930 --> 00:37:27,199
She cannot drive for several
more weeks and I drove it
933
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,050
immediately to the dealership and
I made it their problem again.
934
00:37:30,150 --> 00:37:33,600
And this comes on the heels
of us literally talking about.
935
00:37:33,790 --> 00:37:37,470
The Pacifica and talking about the
letter that we got from Stellantis
936
00:37:37,470 --> 00:37:41,940
saying how they just put an unlimited
warranty on the hybrid system.
937
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,959
So we're taking advantage of that.
938
00:37:45,389 --> 00:37:48,200
My question is, did you
guys just get a lemon?
939
00:37:48,290 --> 00:37:51,734
Lemon law or is every single one of these?
940
00:37:51,875 --> 00:37:55,395
The dealership garage lot is just
full because everyone's is doing this.
941
00:37:55,435 --> 00:37:58,945
I don't know and I've asked the
dealer and every time I say the
942
00:37:58,945 --> 00:38:03,525
word lemon law, they look at me
again like a Cerberus from hell.
943
00:38:03,595 --> 00:38:06,005
I'm like, look, I'm not
trying to be any sort of way.
944
00:38:06,075 --> 00:38:10,115
I just want you to tell me without
having to go dig through the Oracle
945
00:38:10,115 --> 00:38:13,575
of Google to figure out what the
law is or get a lawyer involved.
946
00:38:13,575 --> 00:38:17,565
But yeah, it's been in the shop so many
times over the last couple of years.
947
00:38:17,635 --> 00:38:22,465
And it's had three going on four
transmission replacements, which by the
948
00:38:22,465 --> 00:38:26,415
way, the hybrid is in the transmission
and it's a big to do, and it's usually
949
00:38:26,415 --> 00:38:30,655
there for three weeks plus, and they
got to get a transmission from Detroit.
950
00:38:30,695 --> 00:38:34,735
What I'm hearing as of today is it
may not be a transmission problem.
951
00:38:34,745 --> 00:38:39,745
It's part of the EV coolant system,
which we've had a problem with before.
952
00:38:39,775 --> 00:38:43,355
It's not the first time with that
either where sensors go bad, or
953
00:38:43,355 --> 00:38:46,125
there was a leak on the pump,
which is inside the transmission.
954
00:38:46,125 --> 00:38:47,075
It's a whole thing, right?
955
00:38:47,290 --> 00:38:51,300
But even the lady at the dealership was
like, seriously, this is unbelievable.
956
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,370
Like she's looking at our records and
she doesn't even know what to say.
957
00:38:54,370 --> 00:38:55,600
And I'm like, thank you very much.
958
00:38:55,630 --> 00:38:56,640
What are we supposed to do?
959
00:38:56,820 --> 00:38:58,710
My wife and I had a heart
to heart about this.
960
00:38:58,740 --> 00:39:01,400
And like, we've talked about
our previous drive thrus before.
961
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,120
What do we do if the Pacifica
finally goes belly up?
962
00:39:04,189 --> 00:39:06,210
Like if it goes really pear shaped.
963
00:39:06,455 --> 00:39:11,775
Fix it, again, trade it in at the next
local Toyota dealer, and call it a day.
964
00:39:11,815 --> 00:39:12,735
Cuz I'm done.
965
00:39:12,835 --> 00:39:14,295
Unless we're gonna buy another Jeep.
966
00:39:14,325 --> 00:39:17,805
Because to me, buying a Jeep is
like buying an Audi or a Benz.
967
00:39:17,815 --> 00:39:21,404
They're more of a higher end
car now than they used to be.
968
00:39:21,445 --> 00:39:22,354
There's a lot more in them.
969
00:39:22,355 --> 00:39:23,324
There's a lot more quality.
970
00:39:23,324 --> 00:39:26,135
It's the flagship of Stellantis,
at least in the United States.
971
00:39:26,340 --> 00:39:28,990
You look at the rest of the
Chrysler fleet, it's not worth it.
972
00:39:29,030 --> 00:39:32,410
And if you look at the rest of the vans,
cause my wife wants another van, if we
973
00:39:32,410 --> 00:39:34,250
were to replace it, what do you buy?
974
00:39:34,290 --> 00:39:40,279
We've talked about the Kias, the Honda and
not buying a 62, 000 Volkswagen ID buzz.
975
00:39:40,290 --> 00:39:41,879
Like I'm not buying another Volkswagen.
976
00:39:41,879 --> 00:39:42,440
You know what I mean?
977
00:39:42,479 --> 00:39:43,220
It's a mess.
978
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:44,380
Well, I got another minivan.
979
00:39:44,430 --> 00:39:45,330
The sliding doors.
980
00:39:45,340 --> 00:39:47,180
She's hooked on the sliding doors now.
981
00:39:47,250 --> 00:39:47,610
I bet.
982
00:39:47,630 --> 00:39:49,440
The sliding doors are pretty nice.
983
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:49,670
Yeah.
984
00:39:49,670 --> 00:39:52,710
And the cargo space and
the, yeah, I get it.
985
00:39:52,810 --> 00:39:53,420
Question.
986
00:39:53,645 --> 00:39:54,655
About the Pacifica.
987
00:39:54,785 --> 00:39:56,835
All these issues that you've had.
988
00:39:56,915 --> 00:39:57,445
I love it.
989
00:39:57,445 --> 00:39:59,705
It's the best car we've ever
owned, except for all this.
990
00:39:59,755 --> 00:40:04,465
We exclude the time it bricked itself
just sitting in your garage, but all
991
00:40:04,465 --> 00:40:08,585
the other times, what is the ratio
you driving versus Jess driving?
992
00:40:08,665 --> 00:40:10,714
This is the first time
it's happened to me.
993
00:40:10,804 --> 00:40:16,125
Okay, that debunks my theory because we
have a theory like that about another GTM
994
00:40:16,125 --> 00:40:20,305
member that is really hard on vehicles
and they've had transmission issues
995
00:40:20,305 --> 00:40:21,875
and stuff with all their vehicles, too.
996
00:40:22,115 --> 00:40:26,365
And I'm glad you brought that up
because I was on pace to try to beat
997
00:40:26,415 --> 00:40:29,675
Jess's record and that's what was
super impressive about the Pacific.
998
00:40:29,675 --> 00:40:32,315
I was like, man, this thing is
torquey and blah, blah, blah.
999
00:40:32,315 --> 00:40:35,095
And you know, the way the hybrid
works and it's all electric before
1000
00:40:35,095 --> 00:40:36,774
it's gas and how far I could go.
1001
00:40:36,775 --> 00:40:40,084
There were some days I could get to
school and have like 30 percent left.
1002
00:40:40,084 --> 00:40:42,715
So I'm coming back part of the way
on electric, which was awesome.
1003
00:40:43,085 --> 00:40:45,035
I was averaging everything I was doing.
1004
00:40:45,075 --> 00:40:48,545
I hadn't put gas in it in three
weeks and I was getting 48.
1005
00:40:48,545 --> 00:40:54,045
2 miles to the gallon, cumulative average
city highway, freaking unbelievable.
1006
00:40:54,184 --> 00:40:56,064
That's better than diesel.
1007
00:40:56,115 --> 00:40:59,824
Most of the time, didn't there used
to be a saying back in the day that
1008
00:41:00,035 --> 00:41:03,645
Cars run best right before they're
going to die thousand percent.
1009
00:41:03,935 --> 00:41:05,485
So there was a foreshadowing there.
1010
00:41:05,495 --> 00:41:06,605
You put it in the world.
1011
00:41:06,645 --> 00:41:07,575
That's what you did.
1012
00:41:07,745 --> 00:41:09,265
I didn't Chrysler did.
1013
00:41:09,295 --> 00:41:11,315
Well, Chrysler put some
other stuff in the world.
1014
00:41:11,335 --> 00:41:13,415
Did you read this thing by the CEO?
1015
00:41:13,465 --> 00:41:13,955
No.
1016
00:41:13,965 --> 00:41:14,885
What did this fool do?
1017
00:41:14,934 --> 00:41:18,194
He says that the auto
industry is in survival mode.
1018
00:41:18,264 --> 00:41:19,675
That's a gross generalization.
1019
00:41:19,775 --> 00:41:23,195
Stellantis might be in survival
mode because what are you
1020
00:41:23,195 --> 00:41:24,229
selling in the United States?
1021
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:24,570
States.
1022
00:41:24,580 --> 00:41:25,920
You got rid of everything.
1023
00:41:25,970 --> 00:41:26,860
There's no challenger.
1024
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:27,870
There's no charger.
1025
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,350
There's the Pacifica,
the Jeeps, and that's it.
1026
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:32,130
What else do you sell?
1027
00:41:32,170 --> 00:41:32,820
What else do you have?
1028
00:41:32,850 --> 00:41:33,970
Cause there's no more alphas.
1029
00:41:34,119 --> 00:41:36,250
There's no more Fiat's other
than the ones that are left
1030
00:41:36,250 --> 00:41:37,520
over for the next three years.
1031
00:41:37,570 --> 00:41:40,819
And they've sold all the Dodge
darts that were remaining from 2016.
1032
00:41:40,830 --> 00:41:42,880
So what?
1033
00:41:42,965 --> 00:41:46,485
They got nothing and they brought
over the Hornet, which was a joke.
1034
00:41:46,525 --> 00:41:48,155
Like, I don't even think
they sell that anymore.
1035
00:41:48,195 --> 00:41:50,355
They actually downsized
part of the Jeep fleet.
1036
00:41:50,365 --> 00:41:53,835
There's talk of getting rid of the
manual transmission in the Gladiator,
1037
00:41:53,835 --> 00:41:55,475
which I didn't even know was an option.
1038
00:41:55,555 --> 00:41:56,735
What are you guys doing?
1039
00:41:56,854 --> 00:41:59,294
And that's where I've
lost faith in the brand.
1040
00:41:59,375 --> 00:42:02,725
I joke that Volkswagen has lost
their way, but Chrysler has been
1041
00:42:02,735 --> 00:42:04,845
lost in the desert for 40 years now.
1042
00:42:04,845 --> 00:42:06,125
Like when are they going to come home?
1043
00:42:06,315 --> 00:42:09,205
The one thing I did take away from this
article, which I thought was hilarious,
1044
00:42:09,215 --> 00:42:11,925
is some creative rebranding and marketing.
1045
00:42:11,935 --> 00:42:13,495
I'm always game for stuff like that.
1046
00:42:13,495 --> 00:42:14,305
I think it's pretty cool.
1047
00:42:14,405 --> 00:42:19,224
So according to the CEO of Stellantis,
we now have electric motors and thermal
1048
00:42:19,225 --> 00:42:21,645
motors, not internal combustion, thermal.
1049
00:42:21,915 --> 00:42:24,875
Motors, which someone pointed
out to me that steam engines
1050
00:42:24,875 --> 00:42:26,035
are also thermal engines.
1051
00:42:27,165 --> 00:42:28,805
So maybe they're going back to that.
1052
00:42:28,815 --> 00:42:29,635
Is that a Tesla?
1053
00:42:30,655 --> 00:42:32,815
Oh, we'll get to that later.
1054
00:42:32,905 --> 00:42:38,584
I mean, I can kind of see what he's saying
from like the auto industry is being
1055
00:42:38,584 --> 00:42:45,004
squeezed from both sides from a regulatory
standpoint of being forced and strongly
1056
00:42:45,004 --> 00:42:47,204
suggested to start making vehicles.
1057
00:42:47,220 --> 00:42:51,730
That do a certain 1 thing or another, and
they're trying to balance meeting those
1058
00:42:51,730 --> 00:42:56,180
regulations with also providing a product
that customers want, which they haven't
1059
00:42:56,180 --> 00:43:00,269
been able to do because the customers
and the government don't really agree.
1060
00:43:00,350 --> 00:43:01,679
And then they're stuck in the middle.
1061
00:43:01,700 --> 00:43:04,140
So I can kind of understand what he means.
1062
00:43:04,140 --> 00:43:06,739
And maybe this is, it's less
like, this isn't right now,
1063
00:43:06,740 --> 00:43:08,130
but it's like a preemptive.
1064
00:43:08,300 --> 00:43:10,470
We're heading this way
really soon kind of thing.
1065
00:43:10,510 --> 00:43:13,530
They come to the table with
something like the airflow.
1066
00:43:13,580 --> 00:43:14,000
Remember that?
1067
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,190
It was supposed to be sort of like the
Cherokee, but had the Chrysler badge.
1068
00:43:17,190 --> 00:43:18,880
It was really cool and sleek looking.
1069
00:43:19,060 --> 00:43:22,159
Develop that body shape, which
was interesting, and everybody
1070
00:43:22,159 --> 00:43:23,660
went, Oh, that's pretty cool.
1071
00:43:23,820 --> 00:43:26,320
But give me an engine package option.
1072
00:43:26,330 --> 00:43:30,640
Nobody's doing that where it's like, I
can buy a golf with an electric motor,
1073
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,720
or I can buy a golf with a two liter
turbo gas, and I can still have a golf.
1074
00:43:34,739 --> 00:43:38,650
If that's what I want, or in this
case for Stellantis, the airflow,
1075
00:43:38,710 --> 00:43:42,300
if I want to buy that, Just give me
an engine package to choose from.
1076
00:43:42,430 --> 00:43:46,480
They keep developing these crazy
cars for no reason that, to
1077
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,210
your point Brad, nobody wants.
1078
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:51,730
Stop making them weird looking,
stop making them unusable, stop
1079
00:43:51,730 --> 00:43:53,320
making them not functional.
1080
00:43:53,390 --> 00:43:57,879
And the reason people keep gravitating
towards, let's say SUVs, is because
1081
00:43:57,879 --> 00:44:02,485
they are Functional and useful and
still very drivable, but you get
1082
00:44:02,485 --> 00:44:05,365
into some of these other cars and
you're like visibility is garbage You
1083
00:44:05,365 --> 00:44:07,045
can't even get a suitcase in them.
1084
00:44:07,075 --> 00:44:11,305
You can't fit four people in them Like
why are you building this trash and then
1085
00:44:11,315 --> 00:44:13,444
the cars that we want you stop building?
1086
00:44:13,445 --> 00:44:17,024
Well, it's like just put the freaking
ev As an option and the cars that we
1087
00:44:17,024 --> 00:44:20,165
do want and then they speak out of the
other sides of their mouths And there's
1088
00:44:20,165 --> 00:44:25,315
another article still antis Blames
bad marketing for poor Maserati sales.
1089
00:44:25,405 --> 00:44:27,175
I'm like, guys, wake up.
1090
00:44:27,235 --> 00:44:28,575
How about his poor products?
1091
00:44:28,615 --> 00:44:32,855
If Maseratis were cool, which is a
stretch they haven't been for a long
1092
00:44:32,855 --> 00:44:34,805
time, more people would buy them.
1093
00:44:34,805 --> 00:44:37,375
But when you think about what
they cost, you're going to buy a
1094
00:44:37,375 --> 00:44:40,734
Ferrari if you can afford it, or
you're going to buy something else.
1095
00:44:40,895 --> 00:44:47,289
So it's like we said, if they restructured
and maybe did the highline SUVs.
1096
00:44:47,460 --> 00:44:51,220
As a Maserati, like, they built that
one for a while there, but instead it's
1097
00:44:51,220 --> 00:44:52,760
like, no, we have to have the Stelvio.
1098
00:44:52,830 --> 00:44:54,090
We have to have the Maserati version.
1099
00:44:54,090 --> 00:44:55,180
We have to have the Fiat version.
1100
00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:57,980
It's like this proliferation
of internal competition.
1101
00:44:57,980 --> 00:44:59,690
And then suddenly they go,
we can't sell anything.
1102
00:44:59,690 --> 00:45:01,060
So we're just going to stop making them.
1103
00:45:01,070 --> 00:45:03,249
I like how it's more
people would buy Maseratis.
1104
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,440
That group of people buying
Maseratis is so small, right?
1105
00:45:07,590 --> 00:45:09,960
You make it sound like more
people would buy Hondas.
1106
00:45:10,595 --> 00:45:11,885
First of all, who cares?
1107
00:45:11,925 --> 00:45:13,325
Why are they even mentioning Maserati?
1108
00:45:13,335 --> 00:45:17,375
That's such a niche market and they
should go investigate why the uber rich
1109
00:45:17,445 --> 00:45:19,075
are putting their money somewhere else.
1110
00:45:19,155 --> 00:45:19,735
Who cares?
1111
00:45:19,795 --> 00:45:22,225
Because Maserati doesn't
satisfy the uber rich.
1112
00:45:22,235 --> 00:45:25,754
Maserati is the Buick
or Oldsmobile of Italy.
1113
00:45:25,815 --> 00:45:27,674
But tries to be a Ferrari.
1114
00:45:27,695 --> 00:45:31,085
Well, Oldsmobile, Buick tries
to be a Cadillac, but it's not.
1115
00:45:31,135 --> 00:45:35,635
I'd rather have the lowest low end
Ferrari, which right now is the 296.
1116
00:45:35,650 --> 00:45:37,960
Then any high end Maserati, sorry.
1117
00:45:37,970 --> 00:45:40,600
Like if I'm going to spend that
kind of money, the Ferrari is a
1118
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,270
status symbol, not the Maserati.
1119
00:45:42,310 --> 00:45:45,920
There was another automaker that went
through something similar, making all
1120
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:50,889
these duplicate vehicles, and then
basically not selling anything because
1121
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,380
where they were competing with themselves.
1122
00:45:52,380 --> 00:45:53,110
Who was that?
1123
00:45:53,110 --> 00:45:54,119
What was that Brad?
1124
00:45:54,450 --> 00:45:55,590
That was General Motors.
1125
00:45:55,610 --> 00:45:57,110
Oh, Oh, you're right.
1126
00:45:57,370 --> 00:45:59,150
Wait, wait, or was it Ford?
1127
00:45:59,190 --> 00:45:59,740
Oh.
1128
00:45:59,990 --> 00:46:01,700
Or, or, or maybe it was Chrysler.
1129
00:46:01,700 --> 00:46:04,769
I think all the American
brands did that stupid stuff.
1130
00:46:04,770 --> 00:46:06,380
And look how it worked out for them.
1131
00:46:06,430 --> 00:46:07,810
They all needed to be bailed out.
1132
00:46:07,850 --> 00:46:12,270
I feel like Chrysler's Stallones
Stellantis It's like history
1133
00:46:12,270 --> 00:46:13,850
is doomed to repeat itself.
1134
00:46:13,860 --> 00:46:17,380
They've been with this struggle
ever since Iacocca got there in
1135
00:46:17,380 --> 00:46:19,670
the 80s, where it's like, we got
to take the government bailout.
1136
00:46:19,670 --> 00:46:20,450
We got to do this.
1137
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:21,960
We're always on the verge of bankruptcy.
1138
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,190
We got cool ideas, but
we can't execute them.
1139
00:46:24,190 --> 00:46:27,710
So we develop, instead of
something awesome, the Ares K Car.
1140
00:46:27,729 --> 00:46:28,559
You're like, come on.
1141
00:46:28,589 --> 00:46:29,429
Like, I get it.
1142
00:46:29,470 --> 00:46:31,910
But you know, the Ares
didn't save Chrysler.
1143
00:46:31,950 --> 00:46:33,160
The caravan did.
1144
00:46:33,190 --> 00:46:35,060
Because it was something people wanted.
1145
00:46:35,070 --> 00:46:35,394
It was fun.
1146
00:46:35,395 --> 00:46:38,865
functional, it was useful, and
they lasted for freaking ever.
1147
00:46:38,925 --> 00:46:42,325
I still see some of those old bread
boxes still running around, which is mind
1148
00:46:42,325 --> 00:46:44,255
blowing, those Iacocca era Chryslers.
1149
00:46:44,284 --> 00:46:47,354
But it's just like, have you
not learned anything yet?
1150
00:46:47,445 --> 00:46:48,105
Anything.
1151
00:46:48,215 --> 00:46:51,324
And because I dropped the Pacific
off at the dealership, would you
1152
00:46:51,324 --> 00:46:54,825
like to know what was sitting in
the parking lot to be purchased?
1153
00:46:54,935 --> 00:46:57,355
Ram Rebels Cherokees.
1154
00:46:57,395 --> 00:46:57,815
That's it.
1155
00:46:57,835 --> 00:46:58,675
That's all there was.
1156
00:46:58,735 --> 00:46:59,635
That's not a lot of choice.
1157
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,730
And if you want to buy a pickup
truck, we know the best selling pickup
1158
00:47:02,730 --> 00:47:05,620
truck in America is a FiberTruck
Ford F 150, so why are you bothering?
1159
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,470
You also need 50, 60, 70, 80, 90
thousand dollars to buy one too.
1160
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,669
That sort of wraps up my showcase.
1161
00:47:12,010 --> 00:47:13,150
And the show is over.
1162
00:47:13,810 --> 00:47:16,880
I do want to say you've got to
ditch your scooter and just get
1163
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:18,260
a really good set of Heelys.
1164
00:47:18,415 --> 00:47:19,115
And you'll be golden.
1165
00:47:19,185 --> 00:47:22,995
If you'd see the roads and the
sidewalks in the city, I've gotten
1166
00:47:22,995 --> 00:47:25,965
good at jumping the scooter, but
I don't think I could do Heelys.
1167
00:47:25,965 --> 00:47:28,895
Dude, there's a guy on Instagram
that he wears Heelys and he
1168
00:47:28,895 --> 00:47:30,524
does like Heelys parkour.
1169
00:47:30,525 --> 00:47:31,175
It's pretty sweet.
1170
00:47:32,135 --> 00:47:33,885
Dude, there's so many rooted sidewalks.
1171
00:47:33,925 --> 00:47:34,544
Ugh, it's awful.
1172
00:47:34,554 --> 00:47:34,964
Yeah, yeah.
1173
00:47:34,965 --> 00:47:36,894
And these, again, things I don't consider.
1174
00:47:36,945 --> 00:47:40,095
When I'm just walking or people
cut your bushes back and there's
1175
00:47:40,105 --> 00:47:41,775
not even room for a person to walk.
1176
00:47:41,845 --> 00:47:44,195
Like, why are you sticking out
three feet into the sidewalk?
1177
00:47:44,215 --> 00:47:45,944
Where's the HOA in this instance?
1178
00:47:46,034 --> 00:47:46,924
No, seriously.
1179
00:47:46,975 --> 00:47:49,664
And these are things I'm like
vehemently against usually.
1180
00:47:49,665 --> 00:47:51,034
But in this case, I'm like, you know what?
1181
00:47:51,034 --> 00:47:54,424
I understand why these rules are this way.
1182
00:47:54,504 --> 00:47:55,835
Ah, yeah.
1183
00:47:55,875 --> 00:47:59,125
See, and then you understand how
these bills get passed for noise.
1184
00:47:59,350 --> 00:48:03,140
Cameras because when it's in your
backyard, it's a problem when it's in
1185
00:48:03,150 --> 00:48:07,270
the guy's backyard 10 miles away It's
not a problem Like that guy with the go
1186
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:12,020
kart track in his backyard as we wrap up
here in honor of all these shenanigans
1187
00:48:12,030 --> 00:48:14,770
We did a special mini sewed a while back.
1188
00:48:14,780 --> 00:48:17,920
It was actually drive thru number 19 I
had to go look it up to figure it out.
1189
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:18,740
So it's been a minute.
1190
00:48:18,740 --> 00:48:20,900
30 drive throughs ago.
1191
00:48:20,990 --> 00:48:24,790
There's an extra episode that was a
complete rant about the shenanigans
1192
00:48:24,790 --> 00:48:26,150
that happen in city traffic.
1193
00:48:26,150 --> 00:48:28,070
And I tell you what, I went
back and we listened to it.
1194
00:48:28,110 --> 00:48:29,150
Nothing has changed.
1195
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:30,060
Zero.
1196
00:48:30,270 --> 00:48:33,269
So we're going to re release
that alongside of this episode.
1197
00:48:33,289 --> 00:48:36,030
So you can hear me go off about
people using their cell phones as
1198
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:37,730
sun visors and other fun things.
1199
00:48:38,010 --> 00:48:44,020
I think we need to change it Pitstop
to a PSA and we need to remarket it.
1200
00:48:44,020 --> 00:48:47,270
You know, we got to change our poor
marketing and we remarket it to this
1201
00:48:47,270 --> 00:48:48,969
is a public service announcement.
1202
00:48:49,020 --> 00:48:52,940
It's an outreach program really is we're
trying to help you all help me help you.
1203
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,760
Well, on that, let's get back to our
regularly scheduled ranting and raving.
1204
00:48:58,830 --> 00:49:03,709
Stellantis has told us that the
automotive industry is in survival mode.
1205
00:49:03,770 --> 00:49:07,759
And that might be true at
Volkswagen because reports are
1206
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,200
saying the crisis continues.
1207
00:49:10,209 --> 00:49:13,429
Since the last time we talked
about this, they might be forced
1208
00:49:13,429 --> 00:49:15,249
to close factories in Germany.
1209
00:49:15,445 --> 00:49:18,075
And wait, this just in,
factories in China too.
1210
00:49:18,105 --> 00:49:19,975
What's the name of the Chinese EV company?
1211
00:49:20,045 --> 00:49:20,665
BYD.
1212
00:49:20,735 --> 00:49:22,105
Who's going to compete against them?
1213
00:49:22,185 --> 00:49:24,535
Because it's the EV factories
that they're shutting down.
1214
00:49:24,595 --> 00:49:26,745
Because they can't compete
against Chinese EV.
1215
00:49:26,864 --> 00:49:28,685
Because nobody wants them.
1216
00:49:28,694 --> 00:49:31,154
Volkswagen bet the farm on EVs.
1217
00:49:31,340 --> 00:49:33,400
No, it's not that nobody wants an EV.
1218
00:49:33,670 --> 00:49:36,610
Nobody wants a Volkswagen's EV
when they can have the Chinese
1219
00:49:36,610 --> 00:49:39,340
BYD for 75 percent less.
1220
00:49:39,390 --> 00:49:40,270
For 25 yen.
1221
00:49:40,479 --> 00:49:41,500
Well, and that's just it.
1222
00:49:41,530 --> 00:49:45,059
We talked about the ID buzz at 62, 000.
1223
00:49:45,059 --> 00:49:46,529
How many Honda odysseys?
1224
00:49:46,595 --> 00:49:47,825
Basically two of them.
1225
00:49:47,885 --> 00:49:50,275
Can you buy for the price of that ID Buzz?
1226
00:49:50,335 --> 00:49:53,005
I would just like to say that
you cannot buy two Honda Odysseys
1227
00:49:53,055 --> 00:49:54,445
for the price of one ID Buzz.
1228
00:49:54,455 --> 00:49:58,754
The Honda Odyssey 2025
version starts at 41920 MSRP.
1229
00:49:58,785 --> 00:50:00,045
How much are they at CarMax?
1230
00:50:00,075 --> 00:50:01,594
I bet I can buy two at CarMax.
1231
00:50:01,684 --> 00:50:03,075
Okay, used.
1232
00:50:03,145 --> 00:50:05,865
Then we gotta wait to see
how much a used ID Buzz is.
1233
00:50:06,045 --> 00:50:09,545
Yeah, if you're buying used, then
you can get six Honda Odysseys.
1234
00:50:09,575 --> 00:50:14,125
Used, they're gonna cost 62, 000
because nobody's buying them.
1235
00:50:14,195 --> 00:50:17,555
I probably can get six
2005 Honda Odysseys.
1236
00:50:17,555 --> 00:50:18,405
That's what I mean.
1237
00:50:18,795 --> 00:50:19,875
How low can you go?
1238
00:50:19,955 --> 00:50:21,065
How used do you want?
1239
00:50:21,095 --> 00:50:22,874
You can buy 25 Mazda Miatas.
1240
00:50:23,515 --> 00:50:25,474
I'm gonna get a Dodge
Caravan from the early 90s.
1241
00:50:27,430 --> 00:50:28,430
It's insane.
1242
00:50:28,540 --> 00:50:29,980
Nobody wants that stuff.
1243
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,300
You want to tell me
it's because it's an EV?
1244
00:50:32,450 --> 00:50:35,560
They're pushing the ceiling
of what the market can bear.
1245
00:50:35,610 --> 00:50:40,389
And for once, the market is not
willing to bear the cost of these cars.
1246
00:50:40,409 --> 00:50:42,770
And they're either not being
made, they're not being sold,
1247
00:50:42,770 --> 00:50:43,940
or they're sitting on lots.
1248
00:50:43,989 --> 00:50:45,249
And I say, hell yeah.
1249
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,299
Vote with your wallet in this case.
1250
00:50:47,339 --> 00:50:48,439
Don't buy these cars.
1251
00:50:48,550 --> 00:50:49,640
They're ridiculous.
1252
00:50:49,690 --> 00:50:51,330
And not because they're not good.
1253
00:50:51,345 --> 00:50:53,685
Because the prices need to come down.
1254
00:50:53,745 --> 00:50:54,855
You guys get my point's?
1255
00:50:54,855 --> 00:50:56,025
That guy's name at the dealer?
1256
00:50:56,145 --> 00:50:56,685
Oh yeah.
1257
00:50:56,685 --> 00:50:57,885
You're talking about Chuck led duck?
1258
00:50:57,885 --> 00:50:58,065
Yeah.
1259
00:50:58,485 --> 00:50:59,025
. Chuck LED duck.
1260
00:50:59,025 --> 00:50:59,445
Yeah.
1261
00:50:59,745 --> 00:51:00,885
I still get emails from him.
1262
00:51:00,975 --> 00:51:01,515
Oh shoot.
1263
00:51:01,515 --> 00:51:03,105
There's an article here about BMW.
1264
00:51:03,105 --> 00:51:08,625
Apparently maybe we're in for some new
BM BMW stylings as they're seem to be
1265
00:51:08,625 --> 00:51:11,175
replacing their chief people in charge.
1266
00:51:11,220 --> 00:51:11,510
Okay.
1267
00:51:11,535 --> 00:51:12,735
Define styling.
1268
00:51:12,765 --> 00:51:17,230
Changing the grills back to what they
were before is not changing the styling.
1269
00:51:18,380 --> 00:51:20,220
It would be a step in the right direction.
1270
00:51:20,340 --> 00:51:21,860
I don't disagree with that.
1271
00:51:21,870 --> 00:51:25,110
For anyone who liked the Z4, apparently
they're bringing that guy back.
1272
00:51:25,180 --> 00:51:26,529
I do like the Z4.
1273
00:51:26,530 --> 00:51:28,720
It's one of the few BMWs I do like.
1274
00:51:28,730 --> 00:51:32,269
Well then maybe there will be
a style change that you like,
1275
00:51:32,300 --> 00:51:35,849
because the guy that designed that
one is coming back apparently.
1276
00:51:35,909 --> 00:51:38,020
Will they all be as ugly as the Z4?
1277
00:51:38,050 --> 00:51:39,700
Well now you just spoke out
of both sides of your mouth.
1278
00:51:39,710 --> 00:51:40,240
No!
1279
00:51:40,475 --> 00:51:41,355
I said I liked it.
1280
00:51:41,405 --> 00:51:45,185
It's sort of like that scrappy junkyard
pound puppy and you're like, he's so ugly.
1281
00:51:45,185 --> 00:51:45,705
He's cute.
1282
00:51:45,775 --> 00:51:46,165
Okay.
1283
00:51:46,225 --> 00:51:47,025
That's the Z4.
1284
00:51:47,035 --> 00:51:48,285
You're like, it's so ugly.
1285
00:51:48,285 --> 00:51:49,385
It's kind of nice.
1286
00:51:49,484 --> 00:51:49,905
I like it.
1287
00:51:49,935 --> 00:51:55,455
Time will tell what changes we might
see exterior, et cetera, on future BMWs.
1288
00:51:55,495 --> 00:51:56,585
I'll believe it when I see it.
1289
00:51:56,625 --> 00:51:57,495
I just like his name.
1290
00:51:57,535 --> 00:51:57,915
Who he don't.
1291
00:51:58,825 --> 00:52:01,005
He develops the donks over at BMW.
1292
00:52:01,075 --> 00:52:01,855
Donks like a truck.
1293
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:02,690
Chuck, Chuck.
1294
00:52:02,740 --> 00:52:03,730
Double dubs, baby.
1295
00:52:03,780 --> 00:52:07,580
For the record, the more and
more I see the BMW M models
1296
00:52:07,580 --> 00:52:09,180
with that giant front grill.
1297
00:52:09,240 --> 00:52:09,890
Don't tell me.
1298
00:52:09,930 --> 00:52:10,699
The more I like it.
1299
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:11,710
The more you like it?
1300
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:12,590
The more I like it.
1301
00:52:12,639 --> 00:52:14,930
Have you seen them at
night when they light up?
1302
00:52:15,110 --> 00:52:16,679
They're atrocious.
1303
00:52:16,769 --> 00:52:18,289
I cannot say I've seen it at night.
1304
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:19,330
You need to get out more.
1305
00:52:19,369 --> 00:52:20,129
Come at me, bro.
1306
00:52:20,209 --> 00:52:20,889
Where am I gonna go?
1307
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:21,720
I go to daycare.
1308
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:22,824
Daycare is during the day.
1309
00:52:23,725 --> 00:52:29,215
My wife's doctor has an M2 competition,
black on triple black with the seats,
1310
00:52:29,215 --> 00:52:32,004
with the BMW motorsport stitched leather.
1311
00:52:32,004 --> 00:52:36,975
And it probably says M like 50, 000
places when it's an M2 competition.
1312
00:52:36,975 --> 00:52:39,335
I mean, this thing is legit awesome.
1313
00:52:39,384 --> 00:52:42,355
And I don't say that about a lot
of BMWs, but I was like, dude,
1314
00:52:42,375 --> 00:52:44,065
that's a really, really nice car.
1315
00:52:44,075 --> 00:52:45,095
That is pretty cool.
1316
00:52:45,105 --> 00:52:46,335
So good on him.
1317
00:52:46,410 --> 00:52:49,570
But again, there's very few and far
between BMWs I can say that about.
1318
00:52:49,620 --> 00:52:51,440
Oh, it also has a normal size grill.
1319
00:52:51,470 --> 00:52:52,750
The M2 has a normal size grill.
1320
00:52:52,790 --> 00:52:54,010
Yeah, that's why it looks good.
1321
00:52:54,110 --> 00:52:57,600
That's why even if all they did is go
back to normal size grills, it would
1322
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:58,730
be a step in the right direction.
1323
00:52:58,860 --> 00:52:59,959
More of that marketing nonsense.
1324
00:52:59,959 --> 00:53:00,880
It's like thermal motors.
1325
00:53:00,959 --> 00:53:01,159
Buzzwords.
1326
00:53:01,610 --> 00:53:02,250
Synergy.
1327
00:53:02,350 --> 00:53:03,060
We have synergy.
1328
00:53:03,470 --> 00:53:08,480
Well, moving into domestic news, General
Motors at the cutting edge of 10 years
1329
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,170
ago, the cutting edge of failure.
1330
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:12,710
I don't know.
1331
00:53:12,710 --> 00:53:13,760
Is it 10 years ago?
1332
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:18,060
Because Tesla only very recently
started opening up its charger network
1333
00:53:18,060 --> 00:53:20,029
to non Tesla manufacturers, right?
1334
00:53:20,069 --> 00:53:20,579
Yeah.
1335
00:53:20,610 --> 00:53:22,960
I feel like they are
first to market on this.
1336
00:53:22,990 --> 00:53:24,390
Well, Ford's already doing it.
1337
00:53:24,410 --> 00:53:26,450
They got access to the network.
1338
00:53:26,625 --> 00:53:29,838
But what I don't understand is when you
pull up with your Hummer EV and charge
1339
00:53:29,838 --> 00:53:32,595
of the Tesla network, how does that work?
1340
00:53:32,595 --> 00:53:34,115
Do you get a Tesla subscription?
1341
00:53:34,125 --> 00:53:36,334
Like, I understand the
Electrify America thing.
1342
00:53:36,365 --> 00:53:38,585
Well, I think you pay at
the quote unquote pump.
1343
00:53:38,695 --> 00:53:42,394
I've seen that with other systems,
which is super awesome at places
1344
00:53:42,394 --> 00:53:45,075
like Ikea, where they have that
you can park right up front.
1345
00:53:45,290 --> 00:53:51,800
And it is relatively inexpensive, but
it is a 225 uplift to get this adapter
1346
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,129
so you can use the Tesla chargers.
1347
00:53:54,180 --> 00:53:56,499
Yeah, and Ford gave away
their adapter for free.
1348
00:53:56,570 --> 00:53:58,370
Beginning, I think they're
gonna start charging.
1349
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:02,690
Why can't we just develop better charging
stations and put Elon out of business?
1350
00:54:02,720 --> 00:54:06,860
Why can't we just develop better
technology for everybody to use for free?
1351
00:54:06,900 --> 00:54:08,850
Why do you have to curse
in church all the time?
1352
00:54:09,110 --> 00:54:14,890
Uh, You want to give a mass group
of people something for free for
1353
00:54:14,890 --> 00:54:17,140
the general benefit of society.
1354
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:18,020
What country are you in?
1355
00:54:19,430 --> 00:54:21,980
That was the premise
of the movie The Saint.
1356
00:54:22,010 --> 00:54:23,310
Remember that free energy?
1357
00:54:23,340 --> 00:54:24,300
Yeah, cold fusion.
1358
00:54:24,300 --> 00:54:24,410
Yeah.
1359
00:54:24,550 --> 00:54:25,559
He drove a Volvo.
1360
00:54:25,580 --> 00:54:26,600
I just want to point that out.
1361
00:54:26,829 --> 00:54:27,190
He did.
1362
00:54:27,190 --> 00:54:27,519
He did.
1363
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:31,520
I don't have a problem with it
costing 225 when they're selling it to
1364
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,120
people that bought a 130, 000 Hummer.
1365
00:54:34,180 --> 00:54:38,760
I have a problem with it costing 225
because Ford's giving it away for free.
1366
00:54:38,779 --> 00:54:40,290
Ford gave it away.
1367
00:54:40,310 --> 00:54:41,629
Ford is a better company.
1368
00:54:41,659 --> 00:54:44,430
But apparently they're not free anymore.
1369
00:54:44,510 --> 00:54:46,750
Because GM started to charge for them.
1370
00:54:47,015 --> 00:54:48,295
It's all tit for tat.
1371
00:54:48,325 --> 00:54:51,555
Well, no, cause if GM just started
this Ford said that after June
1372
00:54:51,555 --> 00:54:54,035
30 of this year, it would be 230.
1373
00:54:54,045 --> 00:54:56,715
So look, GM just beat them by 5.
1374
00:54:58,755 --> 00:54:59,415
230.
1375
00:54:59,415 --> 00:55:02,095
I'm selling mine for 229, Bob, 229.
1376
00:55:02,165 --> 00:55:04,745
You can take that extra 5, go to Subway.
1377
00:55:04,830 --> 00:55:08,750
And get an 8 footlong and you're
still out of pocket, but you
1378
00:55:08,750 --> 00:55:10,630
can't charge outside the subway.
1379
00:55:10,700 --> 00:55:14,240
That's like the people that get a coupon
and they're like, look, I'm saving money.
1380
00:55:14,260 --> 00:55:16,350
No, you spent 500.
1381
00:55:16,359 --> 00:55:18,499
Yeah, but I would have spent seven 50.
1382
00:55:18,530 --> 00:55:20,450
I saved 250.
1383
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:21,599
No, you didn't.
1384
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:26,140
You spent 500.
1385
00:55:26,170 --> 00:55:27,260
Oh, look at your bank account.
1386
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,140
You know, the marketing term for that is.
1387
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:29,950
Spaving.
1388
00:55:30,100 --> 00:55:31,260
Spending and saving.
1389
00:55:31,260 --> 00:55:31,810
Spaving.
1390
00:55:31,950 --> 00:55:36,110
All right, let's switch gears and talk
about Japanese and Asian domestic news.
1391
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:37,380
Do we actually have news?
1392
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:38,220
We do!
1393
00:55:38,260 --> 00:55:41,660
It has nothing to do with America, which
makes it completely awesome, and it really
1394
00:55:41,660 --> 00:55:44,939
has nothing to do with the car that's
going to exist, either, because we've
1395
00:55:44,979 --> 00:55:49,520
talked before about how the Supra is
going away, and we're all very saddened
1396
00:55:49,530 --> 00:55:53,230
by this weird four cylinder one that
nobody's going to be brokenhearted about.
1397
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:58,115
The Australians, never to be
outdone, say Here, hold my fosters.
1398
00:55:58,175 --> 00:55:59,565
That's Australian for beer.
1399
00:55:59,815 --> 00:56:03,434
They're doing V8 supercars, Supras.
1400
00:56:03,435 --> 00:56:06,335
So first of all, I think this
article is clickbait because I saw
1401
00:56:06,385 --> 00:56:08,345
Toyota Supra gains a V8 engine.
1402
00:56:08,425 --> 00:56:11,175
And I'm like, we'll go
racing in Australia.
1403
00:56:11,215 --> 00:56:14,894
Oh, only the supercar championship
cars will have the V8.
1404
00:56:14,955 --> 00:56:16,805
They're not going to
sell any on the street.
1405
00:56:16,955 --> 00:56:19,175
Like there's not going to
be any for consumption.
1406
00:56:19,225 --> 00:56:25,825
And what gets me about this is
Supra or Lexus, R C L C, whatever
1407
00:56:25,835 --> 00:56:27,495
the heck they are, F Sport.
1408
00:56:27,555 --> 00:56:29,525
Those Lexus LC coupes are awesome.
1409
00:56:29,665 --> 00:56:30,105
Right?
1410
00:56:30,155 --> 00:56:31,375
They sound amazing.
1411
00:56:31,385 --> 00:56:35,715
Why not just use the ones that are
an IMSA that are like 100 years old?
1412
00:56:35,784 --> 00:56:37,215
Isn't that like the same thing?
1413
00:56:37,255 --> 00:56:38,015
Super's lighter.
1414
00:56:38,034 --> 00:56:38,424
Sort of.
1415
00:56:38,435 --> 00:56:39,664
Smaller is lighter.
1416
00:56:39,745 --> 00:56:42,494
Maybe there's an issue where they can't
use the car that's already in production.
1417
00:56:42,494 --> 00:56:44,815
What it means, and it's
probably already been done.
1418
00:56:45,035 --> 00:56:48,805
LS swap all the Supras now because
you know a V8 fits up there.
1419
00:56:48,845 --> 00:56:51,415
They've been putting
V8s in Furs and Burrs.
1420
00:56:51,415 --> 00:56:55,055
There's a guy running around on
Instagram with a Ferrari V8 in his Furs.
1421
00:56:55,085 --> 00:56:56,575
Yeah, it doesn't fit right though.
1422
00:56:56,625 --> 00:57:00,364
But this isn't the first time
they did this down in Australia.
1423
00:57:00,425 --> 00:57:02,044
Do you remember the V8 Ultima?
1424
00:57:02,104 --> 00:57:02,434
No.
1425
00:57:02,504 --> 00:57:05,905
And I wondered what do we call this one?
1426
00:57:05,905 --> 00:57:08,215
You know, we have the Taltima all that.
1427
00:57:08,245 --> 00:57:09,465
You guys got any creative names?
1428
00:57:09,475 --> 00:57:10,375
Because I came up with one.
1429
00:57:10,635 --> 00:57:11,745
This is the Baltima.
1430
00:57:11,774 --> 00:57:12,785
Got balls tima.
1431
00:57:12,785 --> 00:57:13,774
Baltima.
1432
00:57:13,945 --> 00:57:14,525
That's awesome.
1433
00:57:14,545 --> 00:57:16,055
But that's old news.
1434
00:57:16,145 --> 00:57:18,005
We got to move on to some new news.
1435
00:57:18,055 --> 00:57:19,845
Random EVs and concept cars.
1436
00:57:19,895 --> 00:57:23,525
My wife, who has ample free
time now because she can't
1437
00:57:23,525 --> 00:57:25,045
really go anywhere, do anything.
1438
00:57:25,045 --> 00:57:29,124
So she's been trolling and doom scrolling
on Instagram and sent me this one
1439
00:57:29,145 --> 00:57:31,095
knowing that I love some French cars.
1440
00:57:31,195 --> 00:57:38,974
Have you guys seen this Renault rendering
of the, call it Resto Mod, R17 EV?
1441
00:57:38,975 --> 00:57:39,355
Very neat.
1442
00:57:39,405 --> 00:57:41,055
I love this.
1443
00:57:41,115 --> 00:57:42,745
It's very Mad Max to me.
1444
00:57:42,794 --> 00:57:45,865
Not a fan of this brown color, but
you know, that could be changed.
1445
00:57:45,914 --> 00:57:47,024
I love the color.
1446
00:57:47,055 --> 00:57:47,785
Brown is back.
1447
00:57:47,795 --> 00:57:50,854
Did you look at the original one
to compare it to what they did?
1448
00:57:50,854 --> 00:57:54,006
I think they did a really
good job of pulling the design
1449
00:57:54,006 --> 00:57:56,105
language of a 1970s Ford.
1450
00:57:56,195 --> 00:57:58,665
French coupe into the modern era.
1451
00:57:58,675 --> 00:57:59,915
I think it looks really, really cool.
1452
00:57:59,955 --> 00:58:00,615
It'll never get made.
1453
00:58:00,625 --> 00:58:01,175
Of course not.
1454
00:58:01,175 --> 00:58:05,305
Because anything awesome never gets made
or it'll get made and we'll never see it.
1455
00:58:05,355 --> 00:58:07,245
Oh, we'll never see it for sure.
1456
00:58:07,275 --> 00:58:09,474
Throw a Nissan badge on it
and call it something else.
1457
00:58:09,655 --> 00:58:13,465
Meanwhile, we talk about the auto
industry being in survival mode.
1458
00:58:13,545 --> 00:58:18,194
There are some people that are taking
themselves off of Survivor Island.
1459
00:58:18,234 --> 00:58:20,874
This is just another manufacturer that's.
1460
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:25,130
Joining the bandwagon of not
going full electric anymore.
1461
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:28,760
So Volvo is saying that they're
going to ditch their previous plans
1462
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:30,990
to sell only electric cars by 2030.
1463
00:58:31,570 --> 00:58:35,980
Because again, we're seeing this
decrease in demand for electric
1464
00:58:36,039 --> 00:58:37,420
battery powered vehicles.
1465
00:58:37,460 --> 00:58:40,170
We pulled the rubber
band as far as it can go.
1466
00:58:40,239 --> 00:58:42,549
It's just coming right
back to where it was.
1467
00:58:42,659 --> 00:58:44,249
People got real optimistic.
1468
00:58:44,249 --> 00:58:45,969
They said, you know what, let's do it.
1469
00:58:45,969 --> 00:58:46,959
Let's run with it.
1470
00:58:47,069 --> 00:58:50,110
And then it was like,
let's see how this goes.
1471
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:54,810
It's not going how they forecasted, so
they're popping the brakes, so to speak.
1472
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:58,010
So do you think they feel
silly divesting Polestar?
1473
00:58:58,050 --> 00:59:00,840
Do they feel silly not
being 100 percent Swedish?
1474
00:59:00,870 --> 00:59:02,020
Well, there's that too.
1475
00:59:02,090 --> 00:59:04,230
Could that be part of the problem as well?
1476
00:59:04,269 --> 00:59:07,119
Because of the huge tariffs
that have been imposed upon the
1477
00:59:07,119 --> 00:59:10,179
Chinese imports to basically keep
them out of the United States.
1478
00:59:10,179 --> 00:59:11,030
Probably not helping.
1479
00:59:11,070 --> 00:59:12,780
That's what's happening
to Lotus right now.
1480
00:59:12,780 --> 00:59:17,834
The cost of their new EV, the
Elettra, has jumped to 230, 000.
1481
00:59:17,925 --> 00:59:20,775
Because it's another Chinese
owned legacy manufacturer.
1482
00:59:20,885 --> 00:59:21,495
Not going to help.
1483
00:59:21,525 --> 00:59:22,595
What are we afraid of?
1484
00:59:22,595 --> 00:59:24,145
I guess that's my bigger question.
1485
00:59:24,175 --> 00:59:24,665
What do you mean?
1486
00:59:24,705 --> 00:59:27,885
Why can't we allow BYD
to build the cars here?
1487
00:59:27,885 --> 00:59:29,904
Everything else we outsourced to China.
1488
00:59:30,585 --> 00:59:31,765
That's for a different podcast.
1489
00:59:31,865 --> 00:59:32,825
Oh, okay.
1490
00:59:32,855 --> 00:59:33,245
All right.
1491
00:59:33,264 --> 00:59:34,494
That's a totally different discussion.
1492
00:59:36,505 --> 00:59:38,435
That's a battle that the
lobbyists are fighting.
1493
00:59:38,515 --> 00:59:39,895
I'll leave that where it sits.
1494
00:59:40,295 --> 00:59:42,705
I mean, if you can tell me the
difference between a Tesla three
1495
00:59:42,705 --> 00:59:46,155
and a BYD, it's the same difference
between a Sorni and a magnet box.
1496
00:59:46,205 --> 00:59:47,275
That's Sorni.
1497
00:59:47,955 --> 00:59:50,245
I'm not sure if there's a
Home Depot in China or not.
1498
00:59:53,555 --> 00:59:56,724
And speaking of Polestar being
divested, this one made me think
1499
00:59:56,755 --> 00:59:59,464
two if by land and one if by sea.
1500
01:00:00,690 --> 01:00:03,510
Because Polestar is gonna
make electric boats!
1501
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,940
Because we know how well water
and electricity go together.
1502
01:00:07,530 --> 01:00:09,090
Why is this boat flying?
1503
01:00:09,170 --> 01:00:10,380
It's a hydrofoil.
1504
01:00:10,460 --> 01:00:15,170
They do go together because when the
batteries go off in a chain reaction
1505
01:00:15,170 --> 01:00:19,899
to burn, you need an ocean of water
to put them out, so it's perfect.
1506
01:00:20,149 --> 01:00:20,669
Sink it.
1507
01:00:20,739 --> 01:00:20,999
Done.
1508
01:00:21,495 --> 01:00:25,805
I don't know that this is the first
electric boat or thing of this type.
1509
01:00:25,805 --> 01:00:29,855
I remember meeting the gentleman
from Von Mercier and they were
1510
01:00:29,855 --> 01:00:34,465
developing an EV hovercraft, and
that was a couple of years ago now.
1511
01:00:34,615 --> 01:00:36,705
I've heard of EV airplanes.
1512
01:00:36,745 --> 01:00:39,274
Again, this was the next
logical conclusion, I suppose.
1513
01:00:39,274 --> 01:00:42,805
I just didn't think Polestar was going
to be the one to do it, but hey, send it.
1514
01:00:42,995 --> 01:00:47,085
Speaking of going for it, Brad,
we need to turn to lost and found.
1515
01:00:47,275 --> 01:00:48,595
I found something for you.
1516
01:00:48,810 --> 01:00:52,350
I know it's one of your favorite
BMWs, speaking of BMW earlier,
1517
01:00:52,350 --> 01:00:57,699
this is the chassis hand built
by God himself, the E39 M5.
1518
01:00:57,700 --> 01:00:58,090
Yep.
1519
01:00:58,110 --> 01:01:01,949
But is that 280, 000 worth of yep?
1520
01:01:01,990 --> 01:01:02,440
Nope.
1521
01:01:03,620 --> 01:01:11,030
Because the chassis hand built by God
has a very, very close cousin in the
1522
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:17,675
Chevrolet formerly Holden SS sedan,
which, when it first came out, Drew very
1523
01:01:17,725 --> 01:01:22,725
similar comparisons to the E39 M5 during
road tests and everything like that.
1524
01:01:22,725 --> 01:01:28,765
So do I pay 280, 000 for this car
or do I pay 40 or 50 for that car?
1525
01:01:28,855 --> 01:01:31,085
I'm going to pay 40 or 50 for that car.
1526
01:01:31,135 --> 01:01:33,455
And that LS sounds
better than this BMW V8.
1527
01:01:33,514 --> 01:01:36,475
And it'll cost you a lot
less to run over time.
1528
01:01:36,505 --> 01:01:40,745
But this one has 633 miles
and it's in Dakar yellow.
1529
01:01:40,745 --> 01:01:41,975
Can you get your SS in that?
1530
01:01:42,055 --> 01:01:45,145
I can puke this color all
over my SS if I want to.
1531
01:01:45,175 --> 01:01:47,055
You know, there's Fans of this color.
1532
01:01:47,065 --> 01:01:48,235
There's people that love this.
1533
01:01:48,275 --> 01:01:50,005
I'm not a big fan of yellow cars.
1534
01:01:50,005 --> 01:01:51,345
I mean, it's just not my thing.
1535
01:01:51,405 --> 01:01:55,595
And I know here comes a joke about the
Aztec, but let's let sleeping dogs lie.
1536
01:01:55,625 --> 01:01:56,485
You said it to me.
1537
01:01:56,535 --> 01:01:58,175
I love these M fives though.
1538
01:01:58,205 --> 01:01:59,934
They are fantastic.
1539
01:01:59,934 --> 01:02:03,245
I actually thought about buying
one of these, not a V8, a.
1540
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:07,350
Three and a half liter six to run
at the track instead of an E36
1541
01:02:07,350 --> 01:02:09,380
M3 and I regret not doing that.
1542
01:02:09,430 --> 01:02:12,990
I almost bought a 540i
with the smaller V8.
1543
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:17,729
I had check in hand at CarMax ready
to buy it and somebody in my journey
1544
01:02:17,730 --> 01:02:22,399
from home to CarMax put it on
dealer transfer and I didn't get it.
1545
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:23,880
They refused to sell it to me.
1546
01:02:24,050 --> 01:02:25,530
And I was very distraught.
1547
01:02:25,630 --> 01:02:26,900
I probably would still have that car.
1548
01:02:26,910 --> 01:02:28,230
So I love the car.
1549
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:29,030
I don't love it.
1550
01:02:29,030 --> 01:02:30,490
280, 000 worth though.
1551
01:02:30,540 --> 01:02:34,270
Every time I look at these,
it's a beautiful blend of
1552
01:02:34,380 --> 01:02:37,589
E36 styling and E46 styling.
1553
01:02:37,610 --> 01:02:42,669
It like sits in between and it has
these cues and these certain features.
1554
01:02:42,699 --> 01:02:44,550
They just still look good today.
1555
01:02:44,550 --> 01:02:47,990
It's one of the few, let's say
20 plus year old BMWs Still
1556
01:02:47,990 --> 01:02:49,300
looks really, really awesome.
1557
01:02:49,310 --> 01:02:53,550
So God bless whoever buys this,
but yeah, there's a lot of
1558
01:02:53,550 --> 01:02:55,360
cars you can buy for 280 grand.
1559
01:02:55,860 --> 01:03:01,150
Well, Tanya, we would be remiss if
we didn't talk about the great Tesla.
1560
01:03:04,949 --> 01:03:06,860
We finally have, yes.
1561
01:03:07,330 --> 01:03:07,900
Possibly.
1562
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:09,860
Vindication!
1563
01:03:09,950 --> 01:03:10,980
Are you happy now?
1564
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:15,440
I busted out in a small laugh
towards the end of this article.
1565
01:03:15,450 --> 01:03:20,610
So there's an article about how Tesla
has now deleted its blog postings, any
1566
01:03:20,610 --> 01:03:24,720
mention of postings where it said that
their cars have self driving hardware.
1567
01:03:26,490 --> 01:03:27,680
How curious.
1568
01:03:28,715 --> 01:03:33,145
The better part is, that made me laugh,
is they touted this whole time that
1569
01:03:33,275 --> 01:03:39,855
they have fully autonomous, full self
driving, duh, duh, blah, blah, except
1570
01:03:39,895 --> 01:03:41,475
they have yet to prove that it's capable.
1571
01:03:41,485 --> 01:03:44,475
Nobody has been able to prove
that it's capable without some
1572
01:03:44,475 --> 01:03:45,895
sort of adult supervision.
1573
01:03:46,075 --> 01:03:47,135
This is awesome.
1574
01:03:47,265 --> 01:03:51,515
Tesla is now calling the system
FSD, which is the full self driving.
1575
01:03:51,685 --> 01:03:52,644
FSD, FSD, FSD.
1576
01:03:54,015 --> 01:03:55,215
Isn't that just called driving?
1577
01:03:55,215 --> 01:03:59,035
I mean, this is like thermal motors.
1578
01:03:59,055 --> 01:04:00,235
I mean, here we go again.
1579
01:04:00,595 --> 01:04:01,985
It's like contradiction.
1580
01:04:02,015 --> 01:04:03,035
Full self driving.
1581
01:04:03,105 --> 01:04:03,805
Supervised.
1582
01:04:03,865 --> 01:04:05,095
So it's not full self driving.
1583
01:04:05,095 --> 01:04:08,795
But it's not supervised full self
driving because if you change the
1584
01:04:08,795 --> 01:04:12,035
subject predicate noun agreement,
then it actually changes the
1585
01:04:12,075 --> 01:04:13,605
connotation of what they're saying.
1586
01:04:13,685 --> 01:04:17,315
I wonder what the legal implication
of this order of the words is.
1587
01:04:17,470 --> 01:04:22,410
What about full supervised self driving
or full self supervised driving?
1588
01:04:22,490 --> 01:04:23,190
Bullshit driving.
1589
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:27,370
This just goes along with the people
can identify as whatever they want.
1590
01:04:27,370 --> 01:04:28,820
I can identify as a chair.
1591
01:04:28,890 --> 01:04:31,890
Eric can identify as a car
with working taillights.
1592
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:36,150
Tesla's cars can identify
as full self driving.
1593
01:04:36,190 --> 01:04:37,660
That is the world in which we live.
1594
01:04:37,950 --> 01:04:40,050
There doesn't have to be
any truth behind any of it.
1595
01:04:40,140 --> 01:04:40,930
Wow.
1596
01:04:40,930 --> 01:04:46,830
When you say it, I identify
as a czar of a remote country
1597
01:04:46,900 --> 01:04:47,930
that I just don't get to visit.
1598
01:04:48,780 --> 01:04:50,430
King of India, over there.
1599
01:04:50,500 --> 01:04:51,930
What would your country be called?
1600
01:04:51,980 --> 01:04:52,630
Portlandian.
1601
01:04:52,630 --> 01:04:58,080
I think Fred Armisen might have
something to say about that.
1602
01:04:58,120 --> 01:04:59,020
Yes, yes.
1603
01:04:59,470 --> 01:05:00,870
Oh, he's my vice czar.
1604
01:05:01,090 --> 01:05:01,620
Nice shot.
1605
01:05:01,785 --> 01:05:03,365
So there's still more Tesla.
1606
01:05:03,395 --> 01:05:04,825
This one's even better.
1607
01:05:04,915 --> 01:05:05,555
There's more Tesla news.
1608
01:05:06,135 --> 01:05:06,975
It's unreal.
1609
01:05:07,005 --> 01:05:08,375
It's about the Cybertruck.
1610
01:05:08,395 --> 01:05:11,925
Oh, something we haven't talked
about much this year at all.
1611
01:05:11,975 --> 01:05:14,435
Because the Cybertruck is without fault.
1612
01:05:14,655 --> 01:05:16,705
Oh, it is infallible.
1613
01:05:16,785 --> 01:05:20,675
Like anything Elon touches is A turd.
1614
01:05:20,875 --> 01:05:22,735
Meets the expectations.
1615
01:05:22,795 --> 01:05:25,485
is totally in line with the promises.
1616
01:05:25,535 --> 01:05:26,775
I'll say again, a turd.
1617
01:05:26,835 --> 01:05:30,945
Works to the utmost degree,
like a freaking Swiss timepiece.
1618
01:05:30,965 --> 01:05:32,485
That's how well these things work.
1619
01:05:32,505 --> 01:05:34,645
So recall the windows, right?
1620
01:05:34,665 --> 01:05:36,665
Back however many years ago it was now.
1621
01:05:37,445 --> 01:05:38,225
The baseball.
1622
01:05:38,715 --> 01:05:42,375
Oh, they're, you know, armor
plate glass that can withstain
1623
01:05:42,985 --> 01:05:44,355
bullets, blah, blah, blah.
1624
01:05:44,365 --> 01:05:48,805
I'll show you by lobbing this
baseball at it with my untrained,
1625
01:05:48,815 --> 01:05:50,845
unprofessional slow ball.
1626
01:05:51,105 --> 01:05:51,765
shatter.
1627
01:05:52,375 --> 01:05:53,635
Oh, it was a fluke.
1628
01:05:53,655 --> 01:05:57,065
It was this and the other, you
know, this is still the prototype,
1629
01:05:57,075 --> 01:05:58,094
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
1630
01:05:58,095 --> 01:06:03,745
So then why now that we're in production
with 3, 000 of these or whatever the
1631
01:06:03,745 --> 01:06:06,315
production rate is, 11, 000 were recalled.
1632
01:06:06,385 --> 01:06:10,155
That's right, we did say it was
11, 000, so good job, they're
1633
01:06:10,155 --> 01:06:11,265
all in the parking lot somewhere.
1634
01:06:11,345 --> 01:06:13,985
This is probably going to be
another recall, maybe, I don't know.
1635
01:06:14,035 --> 01:06:17,705
At any rate, some poor individual
who spent 100, 000 on this
1636
01:06:17,705 --> 01:06:19,445
car, left it parked wherever.
1637
01:06:19,515 --> 01:06:23,315
And the impenetrable, unsinkable
cyber truck, heard that one before.
1638
01:06:23,365 --> 01:06:24,485
It's like the Titanic.
1639
01:06:24,575 --> 01:06:26,265
With its shatterproof glass.
1640
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:31,030
The thief rolled up to it, tried
back the window a little bit.
1641
01:06:31,140 --> 01:06:33,440
Because it's frameless,
I want to point it out.
1642
01:06:33,490 --> 01:06:36,120
So this would happen with
any car with a frameless.
1643
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,870
Yes, so we won't fault the frameless part.
1644
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:40,590
I'm not faulting the frameless part.
1645
01:06:40,700 --> 01:06:41,780
It's a lack of notification.
1646
01:06:41,820 --> 01:06:44,820
Well, I don't even fault that
because honestly, if you jimmy a
1647
01:06:44,820 --> 01:06:47,820
little bit, I don't think anyone's
cars are that sensitive that.
1648
01:06:48,010 --> 01:06:52,220
They're going to sound the alarm yet,
but the shattered window, did this window
1649
01:06:52,220 --> 01:06:54,760
shatter because the window peeled back
1650
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:58,170
like an onion layer.
1651
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:02,930
And so people are up in arms
about how to your point, there
1652
01:07:02,930 --> 01:07:04,440
was no alarm notification.
1653
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:06,270
I wasn't told my car was being robbed.
1654
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:07,380
The alarm didn't go off.
1655
01:07:07,550 --> 01:07:10,870
What alarms going off this thing
like rolled up like a paper towel.
1656
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:12,850
It didn't even know the window was open.
1657
01:07:12,930 --> 01:07:14,760
Where's the sensor airflow.
1658
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:18,100
Suddenly the air current changed into the
vehicle, but it was the door wasn't open.
1659
01:07:18,100 --> 01:07:18,250
That's.
1660
01:07:18,355 --> 01:07:18,885
The sensor.
1661
01:07:18,885 --> 01:07:19,455
I don't know.
1662
01:07:20,155 --> 01:07:22,535
Is it worth saying that the
thief was in a Nissan Ultima?
1663
01:07:22,585 --> 01:07:23,025
Yes.
1664
01:07:23,115 --> 01:07:24,085
Oh, no.
1665
01:07:24,165 --> 01:07:25,485
Are you serious?
1666
01:07:25,585 --> 01:07:26,005
Yeah.
1667
01:07:28,315 --> 01:07:32,215
But the picture of this peeled
down window is just wild.
1668
01:07:32,285 --> 01:07:33,315
Wild.
1669
01:07:34,875 --> 01:07:36,715
You wouldn't be able to
do that on any other.
1670
01:07:36,885 --> 01:07:37,255
No.
1671
01:07:37,255 --> 01:07:40,275
And I think it has to do with
the fact that it's safety glass.
1672
01:07:40,285 --> 01:07:41,545
So it has that coating on it.
1673
01:07:41,545 --> 01:07:43,335
So it's not supposed to
shatter and all that.
1674
01:07:43,395 --> 01:07:46,815
But in thinking about previous Teslas
that I've been in, remember, I told you
1675
01:07:46,815 --> 01:07:48,535
guys that story about when I was in Tampa.
1676
01:07:48,700 --> 01:07:52,800
And how that Tesla Model Y tried to
choke me because the door seal ended
1677
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,520
up falling on my head as I was getting
out and all this kind of thing.
1678
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:59,460
If the seals are that bad on a
Cybertruck, and with all those
1679
01:07:59,510 --> 01:08:01,770
angles, you don't need a pry bar.
1680
01:08:01,770 --> 01:08:04,970
You probably could put your fingers
in there and pull the window back.
1681
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:05,840
Probably would've did.
1682
01:08:05,980 --> 01:08:10,330
Which is a lot harder to do on other
cars, even on a frameless door car,
1683
01:08:10,330 --> 01:08:12,120
which we've owned some over the years.
1684
01:08:12,170 --> 01:08:15,840
It's pretty tight in there and usually
the window goes up into a cavity.
1685
01:08:15,900 --> 01:08:16,250
Yes.
1686
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:17,540
Where it seals.
1687
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,800
inside of that door seal, even
though it doesn't have a frame.
1688
01:08:20,980 --> 01:08:26,210
To say that the build quality is maybe not
quite where it should be, and all those
1689
01:08:26,220 --> 01:08:32,000
weird angles might add an extra layer of,
I don't know, weakness, or entry point,
1690
01:08:32,020 --> 01:08:34,690
or attack vector, we'll call it that.
1691
01:08:34,930 --> 01:08:36,124
You know, I don't know!
1692
01:08:36,265 --> 01:08:37,715
But I guess this guy
proved the hypothesis.
1693
01:08:38,165 --> 01:08:42,435
Tesla's recall fix is going to be
going down to the local home depot
1694
01:08:42,435 --> 01:08:46,215
and getting some rebar to build
a frame for your frameless door.
1695
01:08:46,985 --> 01:08:48,025
Just caulk it shut.
1696
01:08:48,055 --> 01:08:49,425
Just get a couple of tubes of caulk.
1697
01:08:49,445 --> 01:08:51,385
Your answer usually, I
would just get some caulk.
1698
01:08:51,465 --> 01:08:53,775
I was going to say caulk, but
I decided to go with the rebar.
1699
01:08:53,845 --> 01:08:54,355
Yeah.
1700
01:08:54,455 --> 01:08:56,555
I'd like to spend a hundred
thousand dollars on a vehicle
1701
01:08:56,555 --> 01:08:58,495
that I can peel the glass back on.
1702
01:08:58,545 --> 01:08:58,935
What the fuck?
1703
01:08:58,935 --> 01:09:05,570
Ah, you know, now that my expectations
are thoroughly lowered, we need to Things
1704
01:09:05,570 --> 01:09:07,470
that are unfortunately unfortunate.
1705
01:09:07,580 --> 01:09:08,180
Look at that.
1706
01:09:08,190 --> 01:09:09,880
The first unfortunate thing.
1707
01:09:10,750 --> 01:09:12,490
Right back with the Cybertruck.
1708
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,500
I feel like this is like
serendipitous though.
1709
01:09:15,570 --> 01:09:17,650
No, this is the definition of irony.
1710
01:09:17,690 --> 01:09:18,000
Yeah.
1711
01:09:18,050 --> 01:09:20,290
The headline alone explains it.
1712
01:09:20,290 --> 01:09:21,870
Okay, Yahoo News reports.
1713
01:09:21,950 --> 01:09:25,230
Tesla Cybertruck hits fire
hydrant, catches on fire.
1714
01:09:25,290 --> 01:09:27,300
Well, they were already
there with the water.
1715
01:09:27,340 --> 01:09:29,580
So their fire hydrant was on the scene.
1716
01:09:29,610 --> 01:09:31,360
The fire hydrant was on the scene.
1717
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:36,480
Apparently he caused the fire, but
also could not put out the fire.
1718
01:09:36,490 --> 01:09:38,980
Do you know how much water
a fire hydrant puts out?
1719
01:09:39,020 --> 01:09:40,940
But that is needed to put out the fire.
1720
01:09:41,030 --> 01:09:41,990
Oh, still not enough.
1721
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:45,170
The picture of this thing
alone just cracks me up.
1722
01:09:45,270 --> 01:09:46,430
How do you hit a fire hydrant?
1723
01:09:46,460 --> 01:09:47,790
They're not in the middle of the road.
1724
01:09:47,850 --> 01:09:49,950
Supervised full self driving.
1725
01:09:51,365 --> 01:09:52,985
It was F U S D.
1726
01:09:53,085 --> 01:09:53,635
Yeah.
1727
01:09:53,635 --> 01:09:55,405
Oh, unsupervised.
1728
01:09:55,835 --> 01:09:59,195
No, so this Cybertruck
identified as a fire hose.
1729
01:10:00,505 --> 01:10:01,145
God.
1730
01:10:01,295 --> 01:10:05,935
There were reports this month of other
EVs burning to the ground and the
1731
01:10:05,945 --> 01:10:09,205
fires are just unbelievably tragic.
1732
01:10:09,265 --> 01:10:10,505
Everyone wants to say,
1733
01:10:12,955 --> 01:10:18,215
Gasoline, ice, thermal motors catch
on fire more than Thermal means fire.
1734
01:10:18,940 --> 01:10:24,120
When was the last time, though,
sir, that an ice engine that hit
1735
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:25,860
a fire hydrant caught on fire?
1736
01:10:26,180 --> 01:10:29,570
I believe the chances of
that are one in a trillion.
1737
01:10:29,690 --> 01:10:32,970
Unlike the Fast and the
Furious movies, generally.
1738
01:10:35,910 --> 01:10:41,360
When internal combustion engine operated
vehicles strike something, they don't
1739
01:10:41,370 --> 01:10:45,090
normally go up in a blaze of glory.
1740
01:10:45,180 --> 01:10:48,070
Would have been amazing if that
Cybertruck's dashboard lit up
1741
01:10:48,070 --> 01:10:49,890
and it said danger to manifold.
1742
01:10:50,845 --> 01:10:56,255
I mean, I get, yes, maybe ice do catch
on fire more regularly, but it seems
1743
01:10:56,255 --> 01:11:00,145
like the difficulty and the severity
of some of these electric vehicle
1744
01:11:00,155 --> 01:11:04,005
fires, imagine you're in some big
collision and then you're out of it.
1745
01:11:04,005 --> 01:11:07,295
You can't even get out of your car
or you can't get out of your car
1746
01:11:07,295 --> 01:11:10,465
until somebody comes rescues you
and then the damn thing ignites.
1747
01:11:10,505 --> 01:11:15,195
Would it be fair to say that maybe
Knowing what we know, having the safety
1748
01:11:15,195 --> 01:11:18,745
gear that we have available to us,
that we should wear our Nomex suits.
1749
01:11:18,745 --> 01:11:22,315
Every time we take a ride in a
Tesla, I was just about to say that.
1750
01:11:22,315 --> 01:11:23,285
Yep, exactly.
1751
01:11:23,445 --> 01:11:27,585
So you can go down the Tesla cyber
truck rabbit hole with this one article.
1752
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:29,940
I don't know if you looked in the
middle of the page, but it says man
1753
01:11:29,940 --> 01:11:31,870
almost loses a finger to a cyber truck.
1754
01:11:31,940 --> 01:11:35,610
Oh, the window tried to like,
no, this was the door because
1755
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,020
of where the door buttons are.
1756
01:11:37,870 --> 01:11:41,130
So his finger got caught between
the rear door and the front door.
1757
01:11:41,170 --> 01:11:42,250
He almost lost the finger.
1758
01:11:42,330 --> 01:11:43,840
And then the next one out of that is.
1759
01:11:44,015 --> 01:11:46,325
Out of control Cybertruck
crashes into a house?
1760
01:11:46,325 --> 01:11:47,695
I think that's the one we talked about.
1761
01:11:47,875 --> 01:11:49,175
Yeah, a while ago, yeah.
1762
01:11:49,265 --> 01:11:50,235
I just, I love it.
1763
01:11:50,285 --> 01:11:54,085
I saw one on the highway today,
and I've never seen one in traffic.
1764
01:11:54,105 --> 01:11:56,875
And the beltway, six lanes
on each side type of deal.
1765
01:11:56,945 --> 01:11:58,445
It is massive.
1766
01:11:58,465 --> 01:12:00,025
Looks like there's lumbering.
1767
01:12:00,055 --> 01:12:02,125
And I couldn't figure out
where the brake lights were.
1768
01:12:02,125 --> 01:12:04,985
You know how we discovered that
the headlights are in that gap?
1769
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,500
Between the front fascia and the
bumper, I think the brake lights
1770
01:12:08,500 --> 01:12:10,020
are in the same place on the back.
1771
01:12:10,090 --> 01:12:12,580
But every time we would stop
and go in traffic, I didn't
1772
01:12:12,580 --> 01:12:14,500
see that back bar light up.
1773
01:12:14,500 --> 01:12:18,250
I think that back bar across the
lift gate only comes on at night.
1774
01:12:18,310 --> 01:12:19,770
Unless he wasn't using the brakes.
1775
01:12:19,820 --> 01:12:20,230
Maybe.
1776
01:12:20,300 --> 01:12:22,790
Regenerative braking that you
don't have to break in those cars.
1777
01:12:22,910 --> 01:12:26,490
But you still have to hit the brake pedal
because we're coming to a full stop.
1778
01:12:26,500 --> 01:12:29,460
Not if it's full self
driving, it's fully aware.
1779
01:12:29,660 --> 01:12:32,565
Oh, Identifies as a brake light.
1780
01:12:32,595 --> 01:12:34,035
Or the brake lights just don't work.
1781
01:12:34,035 --> 01:12:36,245
I mean, amongst a million other
things that don't work on those.
1782
01:12:36,285 --> 01:12:37,845
They could have shortened for all we know.
1783
01:12:38,065 --> 01:12:39,525
Had brand new temp tags on it.
1784
01:12:39,565 --> 01:12:41,995
I will say, I see cyber
trucks all the time.
1785
01:12:41,995 --> 01:12:43,155
I see at least one a day.
1786
01:12:43,195 --> 01:12:44,095
They're creepy though.
1787
01:12:44,095 --> 01:12:47,085
When they come up on you, you're
suddenly like, whoa, what is that?
1788
01:12:47,265 --> 01:12:48,925
I hate the fact that they're so popular.
1789
01:12:49,005 --> 01:12:50,755
I don't know why, I just,
they rub me the wrong way.
1790
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:54,900
Really upset me because you didn't
get one and you are owed a T-shirt.
1791
01:12:54,900 --> 01:12:56,220
That's why I didn't want one.
1792
01:12:56,220 --> 01:12:59,460
Yeah, I ordered a cyber truck and
all I got was this stupid T-shirt.
1793
01:12:59,460 --> 01:13:00,150
Parentheses.
1794
01:13:00,150 --> 01:13:02,910
Thank God . Thank Elon.
1795
01:13:02,910 --> 01:13:03,510
Get it right.
1796
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:05,430
Thank you El Well, Elon is God.
1797
01:13:05,430 --> 01:13:05,880
There you go.
1798
01:13:05,970 --> 01:13:08,520
Soon to be he's gonna be
the first trillionaire.
1799
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:09,120
Did you hear that?
1800
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:09,900
It's insane.
1801
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:12,300
Don't even get me started on
how stupid people make money.
1802
01:13:13,140 --> 01:13:13,920
. He's not stupid.
1803
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:15,720
He's very smart, but he's also.
1804
01:13:15,970 --> 01:13:16,420
Stupid.
1805
01:13:16,490 --> 01:13:18,110
He's also a horrible human being.
1806
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,450
Yes, horrible human beings
make a lot of money.
1807
01:13:20,470 --> 01:13:26,300
Well, this next one almost made Florida
man, but this is really unfortunate.
1808
01:13:26,300 --> 01:13:27,670
This is right down the road!
1809
01:13:28,260 --> 01:13:29,000
The rich man's side!
1810
01:13:30,510 --> 01:13:33,170
I don't understand what happened.
1811
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,350
I don't understand how this
is physically possible.
1812
01:13:36,670 --> 01:13:38,320
Where's the rest of the truck?
1813
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:38,990
Kept going.
1814
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:39,590
What?
1815
01:13:39,660 --> 01:13:44,700
So the cab separated, but I don't
understand the highway sign was that low?
1816
01:13:44,710 --> 01:13:48,330
The only way I can explain this is that
it went off and then rode the pole.
1817
01:13:48,370 --> 01:13:51,970
No, so it says that the
semi When it's raised bed.
1818
01:13:51,970 --> 01:13:54,070
So he was driving like a dump lift.
1819
01:13:54,130 --> 01:13:55,370
That's a big dump lift.
1820
01:13:55,380 --> 01:13:57,020
That's the full length
of a tractor trailer.
1821
01:13:57,020 --> 01:13:58,340
I didn't think those things tilted.
1822
01:13:58,390 --> 01:14:01,680
Because it says the semi was headed
west when it's raised bed slammed into
1823
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:06,690
the overhead sign near mile marker
200 as it approached the 64 295 split.
1824
01:14:06,930 --> 01:14:11,000
The cab continued on and then stopped,
obviously, because it separated
1825
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:12,310
from the bed of the tractor trailer.
1826
01:14:12,340 --> 01:14:13,314
He was adding rocks to the trailer.
1827
01:14:13,345 --> 01:14:16,345
Chips to the highway troopers do
not know why the bed was raised or
1828
01:14:16,345 --> 01:14:17,725
how long was up before the crash.
1829
01:14:17,785 --> 01:14:19,405
Oh, okay.
1830
01:14:19,405 --> 01:14:22,135
That's my missing piece
of information possible.
1831
01:14:22,195 --> 01:14:25,585
This happened in Georgia a couple
years ago and we reported on it where
1832
01:14:25,585 --> 01:14:27,325
a dump truck hit a bridge, remember?
1833
01:14:27,325 --> 01:14:30,415
And he didn't realize that the
dump was up or something like that.
1834
01:14:30,445 --> 01:14:31,435
Yeah, but that's a dump truck.
1835
01:14:31,435 --> 01:14:32,335
This is a dump truck.
1836
01:14:32,335 --> 01:14:34,075
This is like a dump tractor trailer.
1837
01:14:34,315 --> 01:14:36,265
Apparently that bed could be lifted.
1838
01:14:37,045 --> 01:14:37,675
Well, it lifted.
1839
01:14:37,675 --> 01:14:41,395
Can you imagine being on the
highway behind that is straight up.
1840
01:14:41,395 --> 01:14:41,635
Out of.
1841
01:14:43,005 --> 01:14:47,255
But nobody tried to flag this guy
down or tell him, Hey, up, up, up.
1842
01:14:47,335 --> 01:14:50,585
Maybe he's thinking do the horn and
he's just blowing the horn at him.
1843
01:14:50,585 --> 01:14:50,875
Right?
1844
01:14:50,915 --> 01:14:51,965
No, you're in Virginia.
1845
01:14:51,985 --> 01:14:53,305
You just get the hell out of the way.
1846
01:14:53,335 --> 01:14:55,005
They're all amped out in the left lane.
1847
01:14:55,005 --> 01:14:55,345
Nothing.
1848
01:14:55,345 --> 01:14:55,565
Yeah.
1849
01:14:55,565 --> 01:14:57,085
You just, just let it happen.
1850
01:14:57,135 --> 01:15:01,015
This trailer identified as a street
sign, apparently, but as Tanya
1851
01:15:01,015 --> 01:15:02,735
likes to say, that's unfortunate.
1852
01:15:02,805 --> 01:15:03,365
All right, guys.
1853
01:15:03,375 --> 01:15:06,575
So following up from last month,
gave you guys a homework assignment.
1854
01:15:06,635 --> 01:15:08,965
Did anybody watch one for the road?
1855
01:15:09,150 --> 01:15:13,540
Final chapter in the Top Gear Grand
Tour Clarkson Hammond and Mays saga.
1856
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:13,900
No.
1857
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:14,230
Yes.
1858
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:14,500
What?
1859
01:15:15,090 --> 01:15:15,980
Yes, of course.
1860
01:15:16,050 --> 01:15:17,250
And what do we think?
1861
01:15:17,300 --> 01:15:18,770
It was just like all the rest.
1862
01:15:18,780 --> 01:15:21,230
I feel it was more for
them than for the fans.
1863
01:15:21,300 --> 01:15:22,240
I would agree with that.
1864
01:15:22,310 --> 01:15:24,660
They didn't do anything
new or earth shattering.
1865
01:15:24,885 --> 01:15:29,005
It was just kind of like a greatest
hits of their jokes and I don't
1866
01:15:29,005 --> 01:15:30,585
know it was definitely for them.
1867
01:15:30,765 --> 01:15:35,185
I wasn't sure like the beginning of it
okay they got their three cars they're
1868
01:15:35,185 --> 01:15:39,015
going on this road trip and I was like
nothing was really happening so to speak
1869
01:15:39,015 --> 01:15:42,895
like it was pretty mundane yeah the Capri
kept breaking down every 20 minutes.
1870
01:15:43,115 --> 01:15:44,755
But it's kind of like par for the course.
1871
01:15:44,805 --> 01:15:47,655
And then they, they did the
antics, I guess I'll call it.
1872
01:15:47,655 --> 01:15:49,505
And it's like, let's
drive down the railway.
1873
01:15:49,505 --> 01:15:50,555
And I'm like, okay.
1874
01:15:50,625 --> 01:15:53,045
I mean, that's been done before they
even said they'd done it before.
1875
01:15:53,075 --> 01:15:55,735
So I don't know if that
felt forced, contrived.
1876
01:15:55,765 --> 01:15:56,335
Yeah.
1877
01:15:56,415 --> 01:15:57,045
Forced.
1878
01:15:57,115 --> 01:15:58,475
That was nor here nor there.
1879
01:15:58,535 --> 01:16:01,415
Could they have just skipped that
and driven the rest of the way?
1880
01:16:01,415 --> 01:16:02,135
I don't know.
1881
01:16:02,215 --> 01:16:06,515
I mean, I will say I was just
a little bit heartbroken that
1882
01:16:06,515 --> 01:16:07,589
he destroyed the railroad.
1883
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:10,139
That Lancia.
1884
01:16:10,140 --> 01:16:12,330
When that bumper ripped
off, I was just like.
1885
01:16:12,910 --> 01:16:16,120
I loved all the mods on the Lancia
when he goes, and it's got the
1886
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:19,850
308 taillights and it's got the
Delta HF grille in the headlight.
1887
01:16:19,860 --> 01:16:22,140
He said it cost him 80, 000 pounds.
1888
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:25,140
I'm like, can you drive
slower over the potholes?
1889
01:16:25,155 --> 01:16:31,095
For Pete's sake, like, anyway, there was
a couple of good potshots in there too.
1890
01:16:31,105 --> 01:16:34,685
Like when Hammond was working on
the Capri and they talked about
1891
01:16:34,685 --> 01:16:38,205
some of his crashes and they kind of
really get him on the Rimac that he
1892
01:16:38,205 --> 01:16:39,585
destroyed, you know, that kind of thing.
1893
01:16:39,585 --> 01:16:40,655
I thought that was funny.
1894
01:16:40,745 --> 01:16:43,795
It was interesting to see James
may actually get a little bit
1895
01:16:43,795 --> 01:16:44,725
emotional towards the end.
1896
01:16:44,825 --> 01:16:46,305
Cause he's, he's like the ice man.
1897
01:16:46,315 --> 01:16:48,985
Like he's always like, Oh, he's
always kind of like the curmudgeon.
1898
01:16:48,995 --> 01:16:49,465
You know what I mean?
1899
01:16:49,465 --> 01:16:50,375
Like, Oh, okay.
1900
01:16:50,375 --> 01:16:50,805
I'm here.
1901
01:16:50,805 --> 01:16:51,365
I'm doing this.
1902
01:16:51,455 --> 01:16:57,465
I thought for sure Tanya would
be heartbroken or like angry that
1903
01:16:57,465 --> 01:16:59,835
they destroyed a Volkswagen Beetle.
1904
01:16:59,835 --> 01:17:07,415
Oh, and I gotta say up until the very last
second where the beetle disintegrated, I
1905
01:17:07,415 --> 01:17:12,275
thought it held up pretty well given what
was going on and just the tumbling down.
1906
01:17:12,275 --> 01:17:15,145
I was like, wow, if Tanya's
ever in an accident on track,
1907
01:17:15,145 --> 01:17:16,775
I think she's going to be okay.
1908
01:17:16,885 --> 01:17:19,005
And then tumble, tumble,
tumble, tumble, tumble, tumble.
1909
01:17:19,005 --> 01:17:20,665
Hey, the cockpit's fine.
1910
01:17:20,665 --> 01:17:20,729
It's fine.
1911
01:17:20,730 --> 01:17:24,990
Until it wasn't, did you see when the
motor and transmission ejected itself?
1912
01:17:25,020 --> 01:17:26,230
Like it went into orbit.
1913
01:17:26,250 --> 01:17:26,780
Yeah, but who cares?
1914
01:17:26,820 --> 01:17:30,400
I was only looking at the cockpit to make
sure the driver would have been okay.
1915
01:17:30,450 --> 01:17:32,950
And it was fine until
like the last two seconds.
1916
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:35,390
And then all of a sudden
it collapsed on itself.
1917
01:17:35,470 --> 01:17:36,900
That was unnecessary.
1918
01:17:37,260 --> 01:17:37,620
Yes.
1919
01:17:37,790 --> 01:17:38,690
100 percent it was.
1920
01:17:38,740 --> 01:17:39,730
It should have been a caravan.
1921
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:41,560
Really unnecessary.
1922
01:17:41,780 --> 01:17:46,560
That car would have been the better
car to have driven across those
1923
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:47,920
roads than the ones they chose.
1924
01:17:47,940 --> 01:17:49,190
But at any rate, I get it.
1925
01:17:49,190 --> 01:17:51,370
It was actually a pristine beetle too.
1926
01:17:51,380 --> 01:17:52,870
It was in really good condition.
1927
01:17:53,330 --> 01:17:57,040
I was like eating something and
I literally just mid bite just
1928
01:17:57,050 --> 01:18:01,400
stopped mouth agape and I didn't
move the whole, I was just like.
1929
01:18:01,440 --> 01:18:03,080
And you knew what was coming too.
1930
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:03,880
You're like, come on.
1931
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:04,280
Oh my God.
1932
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:05,470
They built it up so much.
1933
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:06,420
Oh my God.
1934
01:18:06,550 --> 01:18:08,630
I've gotten myself into a predicament.
1935
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:09,800
Oh, I know.
1936
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:13,530
And it was just like, ah, we
spent five minutes building it up.
1937
01:18:14,170 --> 01:18:15,010
Really?
1938
01:18:15,930 --> 01:18:16,800
Oh yeah.
1939
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:18,460
That was distasteful.
1940
01:18:19,340 --> 01:18:21,480
I think it would have been
better had he done it.
1941
01:18:21,510 --> 01:18:25,340
Ferris Bueller style where the brick is
on the pedal and then he's just kicking
1942
01:18:25,340 --> 01:18:28,310
the shit out of it until it just goes
off the cliff, but it should have been
1943
01:18:28,310 --> 01:18:29,810
going backwards, you know what I mean?
1944
01:18:29,810 --> 01:18:30,310
Kind of thing.
1945
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:30,820
Like it would have been.
1946
01:18:30,895 --> 01:18:31,435
Perfect.
1947
01:18:31,485 --> 01:18:33,995
I like the idea that
they used a dog though.
1948
01:18:34,015 --> 01:18:35,925
It was almost like an
homage to top gear dog.
1949
01:18:35,965 --> 01:18:36,785
Yeah, it was.
1950
01:18:36,785 --> 01:18:38,055
I got top gear dog, man.
1951
01:18:38,055 --> 01:18:39,115
That's been a minute too.
1952
01:18:39,245 --> 01:18:42,605
And I thought the other part that
was kind of cool, whether it was
1953
01:18:42,615 --> 01:18:47,245
produced or not, was when they came
across the original cars, except for
1954
01:18:47,255 --> 01:18:51,585
Oliver, which we know is back in the
UK that were on that original special.
1955
01:18:51,595 --> 01:18:55,655
So his launch of beta coop and the
Mercedes, I thought that was really cool.
1956
01:18:55,655 --> 01:18:58,725
I think that was the moment when
James sort of realized like.
1957
01:18:59,025 --> 01:19:00,025
Oh, crap.
1958
01:19:00,045 --> 01:19:00,995
This is the end.
1959
01:19:01,025 --> 01:19:05,035
Yeah, I don't think the boys knew,
but I think the producers knew.
1960
01:19:05,445 --> 01:19:07,335
Like, they probably found those cars.
1961
01:19:07,365 --> 01:19:09,425
Yeah, I thought that was
really, really well done.
1962
01:19:09,475 --> 01:19:12,555
I will say, I definitely thought they
were going to drive through the minefield.
1963
01:19:12,645 --> 01:19:13,995
But they've done that before too, right?
1964
01:19:13,995 --> 01:19:16,815
With all the military
exercise stuff they've done.
1965
01:19:16,945 --> 01:19:18,975
Yeah, but it wasn't quite a minefield.
1966
01:19:19,980 --> 01:19:22,330
The fact that that truck went
through, I thought that was awesome.
1967
01:19:22,410 --> 01:19:23,460
Yeah, that was pretty cool.
1968
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:28,570
I felt like it came full circle and it
did literally and figuratively because it
1969
01:19:28,580 --> 01:19:30,750
spoiler alert, it ends where it started.
1970
01:19:30,990 --> 01:19:34,980
I had to wrap my head around it because
I've been following top gear since let's
1971
01:19:34,980 --> 01:19:38,870
say top gear version one, when it was more
like motor week Clarkson was on there,
1972
01:19:38,870 --> 01:19:43,320
but he was reviewing like the Renault
R 17, the original one and telling you
1973
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:46,520
about how crappy the tires were and what
the handling was like, just like you
1974
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:47,850
would expect from, let's say motor week.
1975
01:19:48,075 --> 01:19:49,044
And then when Top Gear 2.
1976
01:19:49,045 --> 01:19:53,125
0 came out, suddenly had Clarkson Hammond
in May and the airport and stuff like
1977
01:19:53,125 --> 01:19:57,345
that, they had their adventures, but I
didn't realize that the specials, and
1978
01:19:57,345 --> 01:20:02,555
what they meant by specials was these
independent, long format, two hour
1979
01:20:02,635 --> 01:20:06,575
deals that they would put together,
started 17 years ago and started there
1980
01:20:06,575 --> 01:20:09,315
in Botswana and the whole thing, and
that's why I say it came full circle,
1981
01:20:09,385 --> 01:20:13,055
because I kept thinking there were
other specials where they would talk for
1982
01:20:13,055 --> 01:20:17,470
maybe five minutes, But it fit inside
of the 44 minute episode that they had
1983
01:20:17,470 --> 01:20:20,820
put together with a break in a little
conversation street or whatever it is.
1984
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:21,190
Yeah.
1985
01:20:21,190 --> 01:20:23,950
But the reason they fit and it's
cause they were edited down.
1986
01:20:23,950 --> 01:20:27,920
If you were able to get when they were
on Netflix or whatever, or if you had
1987
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:32,270
access to BBC, if you were able to get
the unedited versions, they were our,
1988
01:20:32,270 --> 01:20:35,910
our plus episodes, even the standard
top gear episodes were over an hour.
1989
01:20:35,950 --> 01:20:40,380
Cause I felt like the Africa special
was already well into them doing so.
1990
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:40,920
specials.
1991
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:43,800
There were other things that they
had done already on Top Gear that
1992
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:44,920
sort of led up to that moment.
1993
01:20:44,990 --> 01:20:47,790
So I felt like, man, they've been doing
this for a lot longer than 17 years.
1994
01:20:47,830 --> 01:20:49,630
But 17 years is nothing to sneeze at.
1995
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:54,630
Jeremy Clarkson has been in the business
well over 30 years, and Clarkson, Hammond,
1996
01:20:54,630 --> 01:20:56,930
and May well over 20 years together.
1997
01:20:56,930 --> 01:21:01,985
So I agree with you that it was for
them, but I think as fans, If they
1998
01:21:01,985 --> 01:21:05,635
had just left it where they left it,
let's say with the previous special.
1999
01:21:05,715 --> 01:21:07,005
Oh, it wasn't good enough.
2000
01:21:07,055 --> 01:21:08,365
We needed some closure.
2001
01:21:08,395 --> 01:21:08,915
Thank you.
2002
01:21:08,955 --> 01:21:09,785
Exactly.
2003
01:21:09,865 --> 01:21:12,745
It was a nice ending to something and
like other stuff that just kind of
2004
01:21:12,755 --> 01:21:17,535
like ends with and you're like looking
around going, okay, that was it.
2005
01:21:18,055 --> 01:21:21,985
Little kind of side notes from
this when that triumph stag showed
2006
01:21:21,985 --> 01:21:25,475
up I actually knew about that
car and I had just paused it.
2007
01:21:25,475 --> 01:21:29,475
I said, oh my god, you won't believe
what a piece of crap Those motors,
2008
01:21:29,505 --> 01:21:32,485
you know, and then they would take the
rover sd1 engine and put it in there
2009
01:21:32,485 --> 01:21:36,425
And then they led into that this like
I paused as soon as the car showed
2010
01:21:36,435 --> 01:21:37,785
up because she's like what is this?
2011
01:21:37,785 --> 01:21:40,535
And we were talking about it Yeah We were
kind of arguing a little bit about whether
2012
01:21:40,535 --> 01:21:43,905
it was barney purple or not because to
me it was a little bit too Magenta and
2013
01:21:43,905 --> 01:21:47,695
then they they lay into it and She's
like, how do you know all this stuff?
2014
01:21:47,765 --> 01:21:50,615
And I'm just like, I know things I
shouldn't, I guess, you know what I mean?
2015
01:21:50,635 --> 01:21:54,575
But that Rover SD1, the backup
car, I love those things.
2016
01:21:54,585 --> 01:21:56,345
I think they're super cool.
2017
01:21:56,465 --> 01:21:59,845
They sort of gave inspiration
to what we got in the States,
2018
01:21:59,845 --> 01:22:01,055
which was that Sterling.
2019
01:22:01,075 --> 01:22:04,375
If you remember that European Accord,
it kind of had a similar look to it.
2020
01:22:04,375 --> 01:22:07,575
It lasted for like a hot minute
in the late 80s, early 90s.
2021
01:22:07,615 --> 01:22:09,855
I thought it was funny because
they roasted him a little
2022
01:22:09,855 --> 01:22:10,905
bit from the beginning.
2023
01:22:10,915 --> 01:22:11,745
Oh my God.
2024
01:22:11,830 --> 01:22:13,200
This engine's a turd.
2025
01:22:13,270 --> 01:22:14,370
They all overheat.
2026
01:22:14,390 --> 01:22:17,020
You never find a stag with this motor
because they've all been replaced
2027
01:22:17,170 --> 01:22:18,740
with the V8 and da da da da da.
2028
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:24,040
And that car never had a problem the
whole time through the heat and all that.
2029
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:28,130
I'm like, well, that car doesn't
overheat through that trip.
2030
01:22:28,390 --> 01:22:29,350
It ain't never overheat.
2031
01:22:29,500 --> 01:22:30,300
Yeah, right.
2032
01:22:30,925 --> 01:22:33,854
I wouldn't be surprised if secretly
he did replace the motor and
2033
01:22:33,855 --> 01:22:34,955
it had a different motor in it.
2034
01:22:35,375 --> 01:22:39,605
I was disappointed in the fact they took
the doors off of that car, considering
2035
01:22:39,605 --> 01:22:41,405
how good a condition it was in.
2036
01:22:41,485 --> 01:22:43,665
I guarantee they put
them back on afterward.
2037
01:22:43,725 --> 01:22:46,195
It was cardboard garbage
at the end though.
2038
01:22:46,285 --> 01:22:50,560
But you know what's funny is, I read some
Somewhere that the searches on Google
2039
01:22:50,590 --> 01:22:57,560
of triumph stag were up 6, 000 percent
as a result of that episode, Lord, it's
2040
01:22:57,560 --> 01:22:59,750
going to be the fast and furious effect.
2041
01:23:00,030 --> 01:23:01,250
Like the prices of supers went up.
2042
01:23:01,260 --> 01:23:02,890
The prices of those cars
are going to go up now.
2043
01:23:02,930 --> 01:23:03,250
Yeah.
2044
01:23:03,250 --> 01:23:05,200
And then people are going to
realize how crappy they are.
2045
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:06,050
And it doesn't really matter.
2046
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:08,780
I'd rather have that Rover SD
one, honestly, the gold car.
2047
01:23:10,020 --> 01:23:11,500
I love the beta Monte Carlos.
2048
01:23:11,510 --> 01:23:12,300
They're so awesome.
2049
01:23:12,380 --> 01:23:14,400
And then the scorpion
on top is even better.
2050
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:14,670
Right?
2051
01:23:14,670 --> 01:23:16,380
So there was another article.
2052
01:23:16,435 --> 01:23:21,945
that Hammond talked about after they shot
and did production of the episode that
2053
01:23:21,965 --> 01:23:24,705
apparently it's sort of like not the end.
2054
01:23:24,785 --> 01:23:26,465
It's the end of the three
of them together, right?
2055
01:23:26,465 --> 01:23:29,805
Clarkson is doing his thing, Clarkson
Farm and all that stuff, which is
2056
01:23:29,815 --> 01:23:31,165
fantastic if you've never watched it.
2057
01:23:31,165 --> 01:23:32,115
It's actually a lot of fun.
2058
01:23:32,205 --> 01:23:36,095
But apparently him and May are going to
do something of an adventure together.
2059
01:23:36,095 --> 01:23:40,985
And then apparently Hammond and his
brother are going to go off and redo
2060
01:23:41,145 --> 01:23:46,105
some of the previous adventures that they
had in the past, but with a little less.
2061
01:23:46,370 --> 01:23:49,760
of a whole production team there
to help them, like, fix the stuff.
2062
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:52,240
Like, they're actually gonna
do some of these adventures.
2063
01:23:52,250 --> 01:23:54,560
So I thought that was pretty
cool, and he was talking about
2064
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:55,530
that after it was all over.
2065
01:23:55,530 --> 01:23:59,670
So it's sort of not the end, and all
three of them are used to being on camera.
2066
01:23:59,670 --> 01:24:02,980
I mean, James May's still doing
the R Man in Japan, and R Man
2067
01:24:02,980 --> 01:24:04,010
here, and all that kind of stuff.
2068
01:24:04,010 --> 01:24:08,240
So I don't see a finality to
this, unless They're physically
2069
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:10,150
not capable of doing something.
2070
01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:12,200
They're just not going
to be doing it together.
2071
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:13,740
It's not the end of their careers.
2072
01:24:13,740 --> 01:24:18,230
It's just the end of their, them to get,
it's the end of an era, not their careers.
2073
01:24:18,310 --> 01:24:19,920
And I don't think it's the
end of their friendship.
2074
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:23,640
Although I really love the whole thing
where may is like deleting their numbers.
2075
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:25,430
Yeah, it was so good.
2076
01:24:25,510 --> 01:24:30,710
But even that ending I appreciated
and Jess really liked it when Jeremy's
2077
01:24:30,740 --> 01:24:31,970
talking and then suddenly he just.
2078
01:24:32,190 --> 01:24:36,480
Pulls the mic and then that was it and it
went quiet Yeah But I also thought with
2079
01:24:36,500 --> 01:24:40,200
all those quotes that they used and not
all of them were from that episode Some
2080
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:41,890
of them were pulled from other things.
2081
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:47,750
I felt it appropriate and it was a missed
opportunity for jeremy's classic ending
2082
01:24:47,940 --> 01:24:50,250
And on that bombshell, it's time to end.
2083
01:24:50,730 --> 01:24:51,290
Boom!
2084
01:24:51,550 --> 01:24:52,130
Mic drop.
2085
01:24:52,180 --> 01:24:52,690
Done.
2086
01:24:52,770 --> 01:24:53,140
Yeah.
2087
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:54,960
I just felt like I needed that.
2088
01:24:54,970 --> 01:24:55,660
That was me.
2089
01:24:55,670 --> 01:24:57,210
Hopefully I'm not alone in that feeling.
2090
01:24:57,210 --> 01:25:00,400
I do think the disconnected mic
thing was cool, but it is what it is.
2091
01:25:00,510 --> 01:25:04,500
Because of this, my kids have started
to get into Top Gear and they want
2092
01:25:04,500 --> 01:25:06,040
to see more of the old special.
2093
01:25:06,050 --> 01:25:08,680
So, I might actually spend
some time, like, revisiting.
2094
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,250
Not all of them are appropriate.
2095
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:13,209
Some of their antics, to use Tanya's
word, are not always appropriate.
2096
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:15,740
Kosher, but you know, there's
some good ones in there.
2097
01:25:15,740 --> 01:25:18,960
I mean, Bolivia, the
North Pole, especially.
2098
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:21,960
I mean, there's some really,
really awesome ones in the mix.
2099
01:25:21,980 --> 01:25:22,150
Yeah.
2100
01:25:22,150 --> 01:25:23,620
I think the Bolivia one's my favorite.
2101
01:25:23,670 --> 01:25:23,960
Yeah.
2102
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:25,630
That one's definitely top three.
2103
01:25:25,670 --> 01:25:29,200
And obviously the original Africa
one for that matter is fantastic.
2104
01:25:29,480 --> 01:25:32,100
So they did watch Scandi
Flick recently though.
2105
01:25:32,100 --> 01:25:34,600
And that accident, everybody
reacts the same way.
2106
01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:35,310
It's not great.
2107
01:25:35,730 --> 01:25:36,340
Not ideal.
2108
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:38,100
We have some rich people things.
2109
01:25:38,300 --> 01:25:39,330
Yay!
2110
01:25:39,510 --> 01:25:42,130
Sponsored by Garage Style
Magazine, because after all, what
2111
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:43,500
doesn't belong in your garage?
2112
01:25:43,990 --> 01:25:47,130
Shaq said he needed another
car, and what did he buy?
2113
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:47,950
Cybertruck.
2114
01:25:48,550 --> 01:25:49,200
See Brad?
2115
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:51,290
He's another happy Cybertruck owner.
2116
01:25:51,310 --> 01:25:52,730
This is what irritated me.
2117
01:25:52,770 --> 01:25:58,090
However, it's I guess a one of a kind,
because it is a carbon fiber Cybertruck.
2118
01:25:58,100 --> 01:25:59,300
So, Mr.
2119
01:25:59,310 --> 01:26:03,100
O'Neil is actually a little bit
intelligent, because he went, uh, I
2120
01:26:03,100 --> 01:26:04,920
don't want this stainless steel trash.
2121
01:26:07,140 --> 01:26:09,340
I will pay quadruple for carbon fiber.
2122
01:26:09,380 --> 01:26:10,320
That's a lot of carbon.
2123
01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:12,070
I don't want to be out
here buffing this thing.
2124
01:26:12,740 --> 01:26:16,250
It still weighs 8, 000 pounds
instead of 9, 000 pounds though.
2125
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:18,440
They should have made the cyber
truck out of carbon fiber.
2126
01:26:18,450 --> 01:26:20,130
That would have been more cyber.
2127
01:26:20,190 --> 01:26:23,640
That would have been more futuristic
to have a street car that wasn't a
2128
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:25,390
hyper car made out of carbon fiber.
2129
01:26:25,500 --> 01:26:26,930
They could have made it out of Kevlar.
2130
01:26:26,930 --> 01:26:28,500
So the whole thing was not bulletproof.
2131
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:29,790
Carbon Kevlar is not new.
2132
01:26:29,820 --> 01:26:32,840
They did that in the eighties on
like, Audis and Ferraris and stuff.
2133
01:26:32,850 --> 01:26:34,310
Stainless steel ain't new either.
2134
01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:35,800
So he wasn't going for that.
2135
01:26:36,010 --> 01:26:38,160
No, we'd straight back to
the eighties on that too.
2136
01:26:38,190 --> 01:26:40,430
It's still ugly, but I like the
red light in the front though.
2137
01:26:40,510 --> 01:26:41,250
I think it looks cool.
2138
01:26:41,300 --> 01:26:42,050
It's murdered out.
2139
01:26:42,050 --> 01:26:42,750
It's like the rate.
2140
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:45,950
I've seen a cyber truck like
this, like blacked out in my area.
2141
01:26:45,980 --> 01:26:47,220
Here, the guy wrapped it.
2142
01:26:47,250 --> 01:26:49,770
It's still ugly, but it looks
better than the stainless.
2143
01:26:49,830 --> 01:26:53,019
It's better than it was, but
it's still polishing a turd.
2144
01:26:53,020 --> 01:26:55,320
Did you notice that Shaq's
windshield is also tinted?
2145
01:26:55,590 --> 01:26:55,790
Yep.
2146
01:26:55,830 --> 01:26:56,530
Illegal.
2147
01:26:56,745 --> 01:26:58,155
Issue that man a citation.
2148
01:26:58,165 --> 01:26:59,435
He ain't driving that thing.
2149
01:26:59,465 --> 01:27:00,685
Isn't it really small inside?
2150
01:27:00,705 --> 01:27:01,775
How the hell is he fitting?
2151
01:27:01,845 --> 01:27:02,865
That's what I was wondering.
2152
01:27:02,875 --> 01:27:05,915
Like, they're not very big inside, but
it's got enough headroom for the driver.
2153
01:27:05,935 --> 01:27:07,365
Maybe it's custom on the inside.
2154
01:27:07,365 --> 01:27:08,825
Since it's only like seven foot something.
2155
01:27:08,865 --> 01:27:09,605
There's no backseat.
2156
01:27:09,605 --> 01:27:10,385
He just sits in the back.
2157
01:27:10,385 --> 01:27:13,895
So it did bring up a question in my mind.
2158
01:27:13,935 --> 01:27:17,595
You remember how Shaq was doing
that Shaq's garage cartoon,
2159
01:27:17,605 --> 01:27:19,085
sort of like the Cars movie.
2160
01:27:19,155 --> 01:27:21,075
So is there going to be
a Cybertruck in it now?
2161
01:27:21,135 --> 01:27:22,205
Is that show even still on?
2162
01:27:22,325 --> 01:27:23,915
Did it even make it to market?
2163
01:27:23,945 --> 01:27:24,355
I don't know.
2164
01:27:24,585 --> 01:27:25,385
We got to look that up.
2165
01:27:25,395 --> 01:27:26,075
We got to find out.
2166
01:27:26,125 --> 01:27:28,225
That came up during the
beginning of COVID, I think.
2167
01:27:28,255 --> 01:27:29,605
Oh, look at this.
2168
01:27:29,635 --> 01:27:31,595
We have more rich people times.
2169
01:27:31,685 --> 01:27:34,065
Make sure you put down this winter.
2170
01:27:34,165 --> 01:27:37,965
If you're one to ask Santa for
presents, maybe you want to ask
2171
01:27:37,965 --> 01:27:40,885
for this if you're expecting a
little bundle of joy in the future.
2172
01:27:40,995 --> 01:27:43,325
How would you like a Lamborghini?
2173
01:27:43,595 --> 01:27:44,365
for your baby.
2174
01:27:44,365 --> 01:27:44,894
Wait, wait, wait.
2175
01:27:44,895 --> 01:27:47,135
Are we talking like Bugatti Baby 2?
2176
01:27:47,135 --> 01:27:48,405
Because that's been done before.
2177
01:27:48,445 --> 01:27:52,385
No, we're talking about a
limited edition baby stroller.
2178
01:27:52,425 --> 01:27:54,005
No!
2179
01:27:54,035 --> 01:27:54,415
Yes.
2180
01:27:54,415 --> 01:27:57,935
A Lamborghini baby
stroller could be yours.
2181
01:27:57,985 --> 01:28:00,845
Is it named after a bull like
all the other Lamborghinis are?
2182
01:28:00,915 --> 01:28:03,505
There's only going to be 500 made.
2183
01:28:03,535 --> 01:28:05,945
The price isn't revealed yet on it.
2184
01:28:06,145 --> 01:28:09,405
But the basis of this
stroller costs 1, 000.
2185
01:28:09,415 --> 01:28:12,490
So expect it to cost more than 1, 000.
2186
01:28:12,490 --> 01:28:12,995
Is that all?
2187
01:28:13,045 --> 01:28:16,315
It's actually not terribly
outlandish for a baby stroller.
2188
01:28:16,365 --> 01:28:18,195
Do you know how loud Lamborghinis are?
2189
01:28:18,215 --> 01:28:19,565
This would frighten the child.
2190
01:28:19,565 --> 01:28:20,215
It would go down there.
2191
01:28:20,375 --> 01:28:24,885
Rawr, You know, you know that
V10 sound that they make?
2192
01:28:28,415 --> 01:28:30,955
That trooper that pulled you over
would give this person a ticket?
2193
01:28:31,095 --> 01:28:31,655
100%.
2194
01:28:32,005 --> 01:28:35,295
I do like the orange stitching
though, that is super nice.
2195
01:28:35,365 --> 01:28:37,855
I'm gonna do that to my baby
stroller that I probably won't be
2196
01:28:37,855 --> 01:28:39,445
using once Adam starts walking.
2197
01:28:39,495 --> 01:28:40,135
Boom, done.
2198
01:28:40,165 --> 01:28:42,565
Bring out some Lambo
stickers, put them on.
2199
01:28:42,635 --> 01:28:42,965
Yep.
2200
01:28:42,995 --> 01:28:43,975
So much cheaper.
2201
01:28:44,045 --> 01:28:45,405
Feel like I have a Lamborghini.
2202
01:28:45,665 --> 01:28:49,265
Well, we've reached that part of the
episode where it's time to go down south
2203
01:28:49,295 --> 01:28:50,975
and talk about alligators and beer.
2204
01:28:51,025 --> 01:28:52,745
Oh man, we're in a flirta man.
2205
01:29:07,325 --> 01:29:10,665
Our first Florida man, how
unfortunate for the owners.
2206
01:29:10,685 --> 01:29:11,065
Right.
2207
01:29:11,085 --> 01:29:16,815
But this thief decided to steal a tractor
trailer full of Porsche's race car.
2208
01:29:16,865 --> 01:29:17,515
Yes!
2209
01:29:17,565 --> 01:29:19,114
Worth about 1.
2210
01:29:19,115 --> 01:29:20,945
5 million dollars.
2211
01:29:21,205 --> 01:29:22,475
And he got away with it apparently.
2212
01:29:22,585 --> 01:29:24,205
This is very gone in 60 seconds.
2213
01:29:24,235 --> 01:29:26,905
He's a Florida man motorsports enthusiast.
2214
01:29:26,905 --> 01:29:28,145
He knew what he was doing.
2215
01:29:28,285 --> 01:29:31,825
What he was going to do with them
after he stole them is beyond me.
2216
01:29:31,905 --> 01:29:34,065
Because race cars are pretty obvious.
2217
01:29:34,855 --> 01:29:35,425
Chop them up.
2218
01:29:35,630 --> 01:29:36,020
Parts.
2219
01:29:36,030 --> 01:29:39,960
There's so little things on a race car
that you could use back on a street car.
2220
01:29:39,970 --> 01:29:40,940
It's not worth it.
2221
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:42,100
Bold move, Cotton.
2222
01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:44,410
Maybe you just thought they were
regular Porsches, and then like,
2223
01:29:44,460 --> 01:29:47,340
once you've stolen it, and then
you're like, crap, now what?
2224
01:29:47,350 --> 01:29:47,930
Shit.
2225
01:29:47,970 --> 01:29:51,730
But that plays into the fact that you
see one 911, you've seen them all.
2226
01:29:51,790 --> 01:29:52,940
They all kind of do look the same.
2227
01:29:53,110 --> 01:29:55,320
Unit for a penny, unit for
a pound, is that the same?
2228
01:29:56,950 --> 01:29:58,190
Pass the point and overturn.
2229
01:29:58,400 --> 01:29:59,870
All right, Florida, what else you got?
2230
01:29:59,940 --> 01:30:01,020
There's another Florida man.
2231
01:30:01,250 --> 01:30:02,440
This one is interesting.
2232
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:06,260
I mean, what would you do if you
came outside to your Corvette?
2233
01:30:06,390 --> 01:30:07,710
There was a person inside of it.
2234
01:30:07,790 --> 01:30:08,980
You didn't know that person.
2235
01:30:09,350 --> 01:30:15,390
I'd hit the panic button and call 9 1 1
and then I'd get the biggest tool or axe
2236
01:30:15,390 --> 01:30:19,340
or something I could find in my garage
and I would stand there and wait with
2237
01:30:19,340 --> 01:30:21,560
the gentleman until the police showed up.
2238
01:30:21,660 --> 01:30:23,820
I mean, that's basically what
this person did aside from the
2239
01:30:23,870 --> 01:30:27,230
menacing weapon, but I don't know
how the guy got in the Corvette,
2240
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:28,759
but apparently he couldn't get it.
2241
01:30:28,970 --> 01:30:31,890
Out of the Corvette because he
got locked inside and couldn't
2242
01:30:31,890 --> 01:30:33,250
figure out how to open the door.
2243
01:30:33,300 --> 01:30:36,660
But apparently maybe you can't
open the door of these Corvettes
2244
01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:38,640
without the key present?
2245
01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:39,380
It's electric.
2246
01:30:39,410 --> 01:30:40,040
The new ones?
2247
01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:40,560
Okay.
2248
01:30:40,610 --> 01:30:42,200
The C7 is the same thing.
2249
01:30:42,250 --> 01:30:43,410
I've seen it in the C8.
2250
01:30:43,410 --> 01:30:46,710
It has this little kind of triangular
button that you hit on the handle.
2251
01:30:46,765 --> 01:30:49,495
But it's electric and it doesn't
work if you're not near the cars.
2252
01:30:49,525 --> 01:30:52,755
But how he got in to your point,
doesn't make a lot of sense.
2253
01:30:52,805 --> 01:30:53,985
Does it have frameless window?
2254
01:30:54,645 --> 01:30:58,105
They do, but you know, it didn't peel
back like it did on the cyber truck.
2255
01:30:58,145 --> 01:30:59,815
And it didn't alert the owner either.
2256
01:30:59,855 --> 01:31:02,605
So however he got in, that's
a Houdini right there.
2257
01:31:02,655 --> 01:31:04,365
Cause a car alarm should
have been going off.
2258
01:31:04,395 --> 01:31:06,785
I need to look up the
definition of this word.
2259
01:31:06,785 --> 01:31:10,095
I love how he is quote unquote, a suspect.
2260
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:12,730
He's not a suspect, he's a criminal.
2261
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:13,320
Right?
2262
01:31:13,420 --> 01:31:17,550
It says he was charged with burglary
of an unoccupied conveyance,
2263
01:31:17,610 --> 01:31:18,860
according to local media.
2264
01:31:18,870 --> 01:31:19,740
And I'm like, wait a minute.
2265
01:31:19,770 --> 01:31:21,140
Something that conveys.
2266
01:31:21,150 --> 01:31:23,070
So a vehicle would convey a person.
2267
01:31:23,140 --> 01:31:24,520
It has two definitions.
2268
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:29,020
The non lawyer definition is the action
or process of transporting someone or
2269
01:31:29,020 --> 01:31:30,930
something from one place to another.
2270
01:31:31,305 --> 01:31:31,915
Full stop.
2271
01:31:32,005 --> 01:31:36,495
The legal definition of conveyance
is the legal process of transferring
2272
01:31:36,495 --> 01:31:40,945
property from one owner to another,
neither of which apply here.
2273
01:31:40,975 --> 01:31:43,185
Sometimes authors try to use big words.
2274
01:31:43,225 --> 01:31:46,865
Why use a 50 word when
you can use two 1 words?
2275
01:31:46,925 --> 01:31:47,645
I mean, it's Florida.
2276
01:31:47,645 --> 01:31:50,255
Maybe they use the word
conveyance instead of vehicle.
2277
01:31:50,660 --> 01:31:53,220
This does not convey properly to me.
2278
01:31:53,390 --> 01:31:54,370
Alright, what else?
2279
01:31:54,450 --> 01:31:58,440
This one is a little different,
less on the funny side or whatever.
2280
01:31:58,510 --> 01:32:02,500
And we go up north to Michigan for
this, and this is Michigan Police.
2281
01:32:02,510 --> 01:32:07,020
So apparently there was somebody in
a, I don't know, older end of middle
2282
01:32:07,020 --> 01:32:09,190
aged, was having a medical emergency.
2283
01:32:09,265 --> 01:32:11,235
Which people didn't realize at the
time, but they were in a medical
2284
01:32:11,235 --> 01:32:15,095
emergency while they were driving
whatever GMC Sierra truck they were in.
2285
01:32:15,115 --> 01:32:17,815
And they were weaving on the road
and like hitting the curb and
2286
01:32:17,815 --> 01:32:19,105
kind of going up and coming down.
2287
01:32:19,155 --> 01:32:23,425
I believe the Dodgeball movie referred
to it as duck, dive, dit, duh.
2288
01:32:23,655 --> 01:32:25,005
Yes, all those things.
2289
01:32:25,065 --> 01:32:28,825
Because he was no longer in control of
his faculties and what was going on.
2290
01:32:28,825 --> 01:32:33,115
So these two officers in Ford
Explorer or whatever got alerted
2291
01:32:33,115 --> 01:32:35,035
or however and came onto the scene.
2292
01:32:35,075 --> 01:32:38,155
From the video, it didn't look
like the guy was going very fast.
2293
01:32:38,470 --> 01:32:40,970
I think he was in a coasting
mode, basically, because I don't
2294
01:32:40,970 --> 01:32:43,510
think he was feet on the pedals
or anything like that, so.
2295
01:32:43,710 --> 01:32:47,370
I would have thought you would have
pulled in front of the guy, let the
2296
01:32:47,370 --> 01:32:50,280
bumpers hit, slow him down, safely.
2297
01:32:50,490 --> 01:32:54,430
So no, instead, they decide to go
fast and furious, with the cop pulling
2298
01:32:54,430 --> 01:32:59,010
up next to the truck, the driver has
no control of, get as close as he
2299
01:32:59,010 --> 01:33:03,344
can while the other officer climbs
out of the window, into the car.
2300
01:33:03,445 --> 01:33:06,795
The other vehicle while they're still
moving and you see in the video when
2301
01:33:06,795 --> 01:33:10,935
she gets in she just hits the ignition
button and like shuts the vehicle off.
2302
01:33:10,945 --> 01:33:12,795
So I'm like you weren't
going very fast then.
2303
01:33:12,875 --> 01:33:14,155
He was going five miles an hour.
2304
01:33:14,205 --> 01:33:17,875
If you were able to do that, if you
were only going five miles an hour,
2305
01:33:17,875 --> 01:33:23,200
why would you risk Yourself by crawling
through one window to the other because
2306
01:33:23,210 --> 01:33:26,700
falling in between 2 vehicles and getting
run over at 5 miles an hour is the
2307
01:33:26,700 --> 01:33:30,370
same as falling in between 2 vehicles
and getting run over at 50 miles.
2308
01:33:30,420 --> 01:33:31,540
You're still getting run over.
2309
01:33:31,590 --> 01:33:33,110
It's going to not be pleasant.
2310
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:38,160
And oh, my God, such praise for the,
you know, whatever thinking and heroics.
2311
01:33:38,310 --> 01:33:42,240
Only because this worked out, because
if she'd fallen in between the cars, or
2312
01:33:42,250 --> 01:33:46,170
suddenly, like, he regained something and
turned the steering wheel, and suddenly
2313
01:33:46,170 --> 01:33:50,220
the gap between the cars opened, or the
gap's opening, she's hanging through,
2314
01:33:50,220 --> 01:33:52,550
and the other guy's like, Oh no, I
need to get closer, and then, like,
2315
01:33:52,550 --> 01:33:54,540
what, smashes her in between the cars?
2316
01:33:54,570 --> 01:33:57,359
Like, this could have ended
wrong in so many ways.
2317
01:33:57,520 --> 01:33:58,530
Yeah, for sure.
2318
01:33:58,570 --> 01:33:59,820
It's like, was it worth it?
2319
01:33:59,840 --> 01:34:00,800
Well, they're on TV.
2320
01:34:00,950 --> 01:34:01,910
We're talking about it.
2321
01:34:02,290 --> 01:34:02,890
That's true.
2322
01:34:02,900 --> 01:34:04,730
We are doing all of those things.
2323
01:34:04,830 --> 01:34:08,310
I'm trying to talk about it as a public
service announcement of stupidity.
2324
01:34:09,430 --> 01:34:11,460
And it's not like it was a semi.
2325
01:34:11,470 --> 01:34:12,830
It was a Silverado.
2326
01:34:12,950 --> 01:34:14,360
All of this could have been avoided.
2327
01:34:14,445 --> 01:34:14,955
Good for them.
2328
01:34:14,965 --> 01:34:19,365
I mean, I guess it comes full circle and
we can say there's happy stories too.
2329
01:34:19,405 --> 01:34:20,795
Well, it is a happy story.
2330
01:34:20,795 --> 01:34:22,245
They were able to stop the car.
2331
01:34:22,245 --> 01:34:23,175
Nobody else got hurt.
2332
01:34:23,205 --> 01:34:26,385
They were able to get the guy medical
attention for whatever was his ailment.
2333
01:34:26,385 --> 01:34:27,855
So it is a happy story.
2334
01:34:27,875 --> 01:34:30,905
I guarantee you they issued
him a citation afterwards.
2335
01:34:30,945 --> 01:34:32,815
Well, no, I don't think
he'd get a citation.
2336
01:34:32,815 --> 01:34:33,805
You wouldn't get a citation.
2337
01:34:33,955 --> 01:34:34,965
It's reckless driving.
2338
01:34:35,025 --> 01:34:37,325
If you had a stroke, whose fault is that?
2339
01:34:37,365 --> 01:34:38,045
That doesn't matter.
2340
01:34:38,345 --> 01:34:39,445
I am the law.
2341
01:34:40,355 --> 01:34:41,365
You live in America.
2342
01:34:41,365 --> 01:34:42,635
It's somebody's fault.
2343
01:34:42,695 --> 01:34:43,605
Exactly.
2344
01:34:43,615 --> 01:34:48,035
And that driver, even if he stroked out,
I guarantee you they gave him a citation.
2345
01:34:48,115 --> 01:34:51,575
He may not get any criminal penalties,
but he'll definitely get civil.
2346
01:34:51,645 --> 01:34:52,815
He's driving on the curb.
2347
01:34:52,815 --> 01:34:54,185
How many signs did he hit?
2348
01:34:54,255 --> 01:34:56,755
Damages, property, all that stuff.
2349
01:34:56,795 --> 01:34:59,885
Is that why they didn't want to
do the stop and front technique?
2350
01:34:59,935 --> 01:35:00,935
Because of insurance?
2351
01:35:01,130 --> 01:35:02,340
Yeah, yeah, there's that too.
2352
01:35:02,410 --> 01:35:02,970
My guess.
2353
01:35:02,970 --> 01:35:05,760
It was just a snap decision and they
didn't think about it at the time.
2354
01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:09,520
Probably at this snap decision
at this 5 mile an hour.
2355
01:35:11,610 --> 01:35:12,760
You could have stopped.
2356
01:35:12,870 --> 01:35:13,850
Okay, there you go.
2357
01:35:13,900 --> 01:35:16,990
If it was okay, we're going to go
with it was 5 miles an hour because
2358
01:35:16,990 --> 01:35:20,410
we talked about speeds of scooters
and walking and running earlier.
2359
01:35:20,460 --> 01:35:22,440
Yes, 5 miles an hour.
2360
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:26,820
You could have stopped your
cruiser, got out, and jogged up
2361
01:35:26,820 --> 01:35:28,890
to the dude and opened the door.
2362
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:31,970
Let's just say in the 90s this would
have been a lot easier because it
2363
01:35:32,020 --> 01:35:33,770
would have got carjacked at that speed.
2364
01:35:35,050 --> 01:35:37,040
I swear I thought I saw where
it said five miles an hour.
2365
01:35:38,750 --> 01:35:40,490
Oh man, never ceases.
2366
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:44,680
All right, well folks, it's time
we go behind the hit wall and
2367
01:35:44,680 --> 01:35:46,080
talk about motorsports news.
2368
01:35:46,300 --> 01:35:47,610
Formula One's back.
2369
01:35:47,930 --> 01:35:49,880
So much drama in the latest.
2370
01:35:50,285 --> 01:35:55,025
And the greatest, Adrian Newey, I hear
rumors he's going to Aston Martin.
2371
01:35:55,125 --> 01:35:55,785
Not a rumor.
2372
01:35:55,915 --> 01:35:58,655
They paid him Fort Knox money.
2373
01:35:58,795 --> 01:35:59,855
It begged the question.
2374
01:35:59,915 --> 01:36:03,065
We're going to see three time
world champion Fernando Alonso.
2375
01:36:03,225 --> 01:36:04,865
Thank you very much.
2376
01:36:04,935 --> 01:36:08,775
Oldest Formula One driver to win a
championship, right, at this point.
2377
01:36:08,955 --> 01:36:11,515
Does he stand a chance or are they
going to give him the pink slip?
2378
01:36:11,565 --> 01:36:14,525
His contracts are renewed, not
that they can't still get him out.
2379
01:36:14,525 --> 01:36:17,255
I don't remember for how many years
his contracts are renewed, but I would
2380
01:36:17,255 --> 01:36:19,425
say at least through 2025 he's there.
2381
01:36:19,425 --> 01:36:19,499
He's there.
2382
01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:24,770
if they're able to make car changes for
next season and if those car changes are
2383
01:36:24,770 --> 01:36:30,090
miraculously at the level of what red bull
used to be it's conceivable that fernando
2384
01:36:30,090 --> 01:36:33,070
could be a third time world champion i
suppose however the real question would
2385
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:38,780
be are there team orders that make lance
stroll one time world champion daddy
2386
01:36:38,780 --> 01:36:42,980
pays daddy gets what he wants Yeah,
but you still have to have some talent.
2387
01:36:43,270 --> 01:36:43,320
Who?
2388
01:36:44,410 --> 01:36:45,390
Are you kidding me?
2389
01:36:45,430 --> 01:36:48,730
This goes back to Formula
One, even to the 70s.
2390
01:36:48,780 --> 01:36:52,500
The best cars and the best money, and
it didn't really matter the driver.
2391
01:36:52,500 --> 01:36:54,560
If they wanted you to win,
they would make it happen.
2392
01:36:54,690 --> 01:36:58,000
Let's say they equal
the previous Red Bulls.
2393
01:36:58,140 --> 01:37:01,690
Verstappen and Perez were
always 1 2, 1 2, 1 2, 1 2, 1 2.
2394
01:37:01,700 --> 01:37:06,290
It's conceivable that they could be 1
2 also, and then at that point, uh oh.
2395
01:37:06,350 --> 01:37:09,620
And Alonso's paid to
play blocker for Lance.
2396
01:37:09,620 --> 01:37:09,684
He's the best.
2397
01:37:09,685 --> 01:37:12,055
That's a retirement gig,
which would just be bad.
2398
01:37:12,115 --> 01:37:12,535
I don't know.
2399
01:37:12,535 --> 01:37:16,135
That'd be the most pathetic
world champion win ever because
2400
01:37:16,135 --> 01:37:17,435
it's like, he didn't deserve it.
2401
01:37:18,515 --> 01:37:22,605
Take it back to 1979, Jody
Schecter and Gilles Villeneuve.
2402
01:37:22,655 --> 01:37:26,375
Villeneuve was under team orders from
Ferrari to basically play blocker.
2403
01:37:26,375 --> 01:37:29,495
He was faster than Schecter, but they
wanted Schecter to have the championship.
2404
01:37:29,575 --> 01:37:32,975
And so they forced him to
take a backseat for years.
2405
01:37:33,045 --> 01:37:33,715
That sucks.
2406
01:37:33,725 --> 01:37:35,935
And that's why I hate
the team orders thing.
2407
01:37:36,095 --> 01:37:40,095
I get it in the days of like,
preserve the car and this and that,
2408
01:37:40,095 --> 01:37:43,195
but I mean, again, there was cases
with Barrichello and Schumacher.
2409
01:37:43,195 --> 01:37:45,425
It was the same thing where
Barrichello could have run the race,
2410
01:37:45,455 --> 01:37:48,285
but he had to get out of the way
to let Schumacher through, right?
2411
01:37:48,325 --> 01:37:50,515
That's the part of
Formula One I don't like.
2412
01:37:50,565 --> 01:37:54,425
And that's where, Brad, you've said it
before, it's not a driver's championship,
2413
01:37:54,425 --> 01:37:56,064
it's a manufacturer's championship.
2414
01:37:56,065 --> 01:37:59,125
And currently, I believe,
McLaren is now winning that.
2415
01:38:00,015 --> 01:38:04,605
Good on Zach Brown, who, by the way,
was recently honored at the IMRRC
2416
01:38:04,645 --> 01:38:08,275
Artsinger Award for Motorsports
Achievement this past month.
2417
01:38:08,285 --> 01:38:11,985
There's a full article on that on
the IMRRC's website with pictures
2418
01:38:11,985 --> 01:38:12,775
and all that kind of stuff.
2419
01:38:12,785 --> 01:38:16,785
He celebrated that with Bobby Rahal,
who was the MC of the event and a
2420
01:38:16,785 --> 01:38:20,495
lot of other really cool people, and
fortunately was supposed to be there.
2421
01:38:20,495 --> 01:38:23,960
But due to life circumstances,
To get to go, but you know,
2422
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:24,880
there's always next year.
2423
01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:27,160
There's always another
honoree good for McLaren.
2424
01:38:27,230 --> 01:38:29,030
They're having their moment in the sun.
2425
01:38:29,090 --> 01:38:33,160
So, and that bright orange is very, very
reflective on the downslide of that.
2426
01:38:33,180 --> 01:38:36,050
Brad, are you, are you
getting a little blue?
2427
01:38:36,060 --> 01:38:38,970
Are you, your heartthrob might
be on the chopping block again?
2428
01:38:39,030 --> 01:38:39,820
Not surprised.
2429
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:41,670
He hasn't been the same
since he left Red Bull.
2430
01:38:41,690 --> 01:38:45,180
You've made bad decisions and
this is where he is and he's done.
2431
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:47,970
He left McLaren and now
they're front runners.
2432
01:38:48,050 --> 01:38:49,230
So is that the pattern?
2433
01:38:49,270 --> 01:38:52,070
Every time Daniela Ricardo leaves
a team, then they get better.
2434
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:52,950
Is that what we're seeing?
2435
01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:54,960
Yeah, but it didn't happen
to Renault slash Alpine.
2436
01:38:55,340 --> 01:38:58,350
So is he going to be signs
his teammate over Haas or
2437
01:38:58,350 --> 01:38:59,570
wherever the hell he ended up?
2438
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:00,420
Oh, he's going away.
2439
01:39:00,420 --> 01:39:01,910
There's too many junior guys.
2440
01:39:01,930 --> 01:39:05,070
He's going to be racing with
Brendan Hartley out in WEC.
2441
01:39:06,750 --> 01:39:09,270
You know, and that might be a
step in the right direction.
2442
01:39:09,340 --> 01:39:12,390
Or no, maybe he'll just race
in an Australian supercar.
2443
01:39:12,390 --> 01:39:13,530
He'll drive the new Toyota.
2444
01:39:13,590 --> 01:39:14,420
Oh, the super.
2445
01:39:14,510 --> 01:39:15,670
Yeah, that'd be really good for him.
2446
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:19,680
I mean, again, there have been other guys
that have left formula one and have had
2447
01:39:19,680 --> 01:39:23,610
amazing careers and other disciplines of
racing, and that's where I've made the
2448
01:39:23,610 --> 01:39:27,660
argument before, what would Verstappen be
like, or what would Hamilton be like if
2449
01:39:27,660 --> 01:39:31,810
they left their ivory towers of formula
one and tried to go race somewhere else?
2450
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:34,630
And we saw what happened
with Kimi and all those.
2451
01:39:34,630 --> 01:39:34,790
They just.
2452
01:39:35,070 --> 01:39:35,720
They suck.
2453
01:39:35,850 --> 01:39:38,180
Meanwhile, speaking of
Haas, there's some drama.
2454
01:39:38,220 --> 01:39:40,670
Well, I don't even know because
that's old drama because they've
2455
01:39:40,670 --> 01:39:45,680
already raced several races post this
declaration of after the Italian GP.
2456
01:39:45,680 --> 01:39:49,190
So it's like, I don't know what got seized
because the cars are still on the track.
2457
01:39:49,220 --> 01:39:52,320
Gene, Gene Haas called him and
said the checks in the mail.
2458
01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:53,180
Didn't he really?
2459
01:39:53,450 --> 01:39:56,160
He literally like in an interview
said, he said the checks in the
2460
01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:57,760
mail, like the funds were sent.
2461
01:39:57,790 --> 01:39:58,480
Get off my back.
2462
01:39:58,530 --> 01:39:59,440
Leave my cars alone.
2463
01:39:59,540 --> 01:39:59,870
Nice.
2464
01:40:00,025 --> 01:40:01,675
He probably sent it via MoneyGram.
2465
01:40:04,055 --> 01:40:06,275
Might as well use the
sponsorship, get that discount.
2466
01:40:06,435 --> 01:40:10,535
This is all a result of HeMightSpin
or Mazispin's dad, right?
2467
01:40:10,535 --> 01:40:13,705
This is all the Eurocoli
and all their investment.
2468
01:40:14,905 --> 01:40:15,995
Paying for everything.
2469
01:40:16,105 --> 01:40:16,475
Yeah.
2470
01:40:16,950 --> 01:40:18,820
Title sponsors, blah, blah, blah, blah.
2471
01:40:18,900 --> 01:40:23,050
And then with the invasion of Ukraine,
Russia got kicked out of everything.
2472
01:40:23,090 --> 01:40:23,330
Yeah.
2473
01:40:23,370 --> 01:40:24,590
And so did they.
2474
01:40:24,670 --> 01:40:28,360
And so they wanted their money back
for all the endorsement and sponsorship
2475
01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:30,550
and everything they paid into the cars.
2476
01:40:30,610 --> 01:40:33,870
It was like 12 million or something
that Jean wouldn't need to pay.
2477
01:40:33,945 --> 01:40:34,655
But he didn't.
2478
01:40:34,695 --> 01:40:37,965
Was it the full original amount
or is it like the prorated what
2479
01:40:37,965 --> 01:40:39,625
was left on the contract amount?
2480
01:40:39,735 --> 01:40:40,235
I don't know.
2481
01:40:40,285 --> 01:40:43,615
Cause I think it would be unfair to
be like, you know, the Karen scenario
2482
01:40:43,615 --> 01:40:46,515
where you're at the restaurant and
you've eaten seven eighths of the meal
2483
01:40:46,555 --> 01:40:49,035
and then you complained that it wasn't
any good and you found a hair in it.
2484
01:40:49,065 --> 01:40:52,515
Since Maz's spin crashed
several of the cars, I believe.
2485
01:40:52,555 --> 01:40:52,845
Yeah.
2486
01:40:52,895 --> 01:40:54,785
Like I'm not paying you back.
2487
01:40:55,465 --> 01:40:59,855
So other drama going on, Tanya,
you brought this up on our discord.
2488
01:41:00,015 --> 01:41:02,554
Sounds like the FIA is having
a little moment of silence.
2489
01:41:02,625 --> 01:41:06,385
censorship, which is dumb because
so there's two layers to it.
2490
01:41:06,385 --> 01:41:11,975
So there is rules within the FIA rulebook,
blah, blah, blah, around language.
2491
01:41:12,005 --> 01:41:16,165
It's particularly in regards to when
they're doing the press stuff and they're
2492
01:41:16,165 --> 01:41:17,875
actually in front of a whole audience.
2493
01:41:17,925 --> 01:41:19,205
People should be watching their language.
2494
01:41:19,275 --> 01:41:20,355
I don't disagree with that.
2495
01:41:20,365 --> 01:41:21,490
Like, It's unprofessional.
2496
01:41:21,490 --> 01:41:24,550
You don't need dropping f bombs when
somebody's asking you how your race went.
2497
01:41:24,590 --> 01:41:26,890
If you're getting a nut punch
from one of the other drivers,
2498
01:41:26,890 --> 01:41:27,990
you might curse a little bit.
2499
01:41:28,010 --> 01:41:33,110
Okay, that's extenuating circumstances,
but what actually has just literally
2500
01:41:33,110 --> 01:41:38,330
happened yesterday is Verstappen actually,
I think, has gotten penalized, reprimanded
2501
01:41:38,440 --> 01:41:42,170
at the very least, but I think some
sort of penalization because he cursed
2502
01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:46,290
on a live Singapore Press conference
because the next race is in Singapore.
2503
01:41:46,290 --> 01:41:50,160
First of all, I wouldn't do anything
remotely bad in the country of Singapore.
2504
01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:52,200
I don't know if he's getting
fined or something for it.
2505
01:41:52,210 --> 01:41:53,580
And it's like, dude, why?
2506
01:41:53,620 --> 01:41:54,570
Why do you need to do that?
2507
01:41:54,570 --> 01:41:54,820
Right?
2508
01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:56,430
And that is clearly in your rule book.
2509
01:41:56,610 --> 01:41:57,630
No excuse, right?
2510
01:41:57,630 --> 01:41:59,950
Like go cry yourself a river if
you're going to complain about it now.
2511
01:41:59,990 --> 01:42:04,060
But what they're trying to sounds
like almost extend is the driver
2512
01:42:04,060 --> 01:42:08,490
in the car when their adrenaline
is to the max and their life is on
2513
01:42:08,490 --> 01:42:11,050
the line and they're going 11 tens.
2514
01:42:11,245 --> 01:42:14,455
If they drop an F bomb, it's like,
you shouldn't be dropping F bombs.
2515
01:42:14,505 --> 01:42:15,645
Get the hell out of here!
2516
01:42:15,665 --> 01:42:17,545
On a closed radio system.
2517
01:42:17,565 --> 01:42:18,435
Well, no.
2518
01:42:18,505 --> 01:42:22,565
Because the problem is, with all
like, F1 TV and all this stuff, you
2519
01:42:22,565 --> 01:42:26,985
can go into individual people's feeds
and actually be hearing the radio.
2520
01:42:27,015 --> 01:42:30,605
And a lot of times they broadcast what
some of the commentary on the radios is.
2521
01:42:30,605 --> 01:42:32,945
So, one, don't broadcast it.
2522
01:42:33,025 --> 01:42:36,445
Two, stop making it, you know, Publicly
available, which is basically what all
2523
01:42:36,445 --> 01:42:40,335
the drivers are coming and saying is
like, don't let people listen to us then.
2524
01:42:40,445 --> 01:42:41,135
This is crap.
2525
01:42:41,195 --> 01:42:44,095
How can we control what we're saying
in the heat of a moment thing?
2526
01:42:44,145 --> 01:42:48,615
Every time they get hit by Ocon, I would
be cursing every expletive that existed.
2527
01:42:48,715 --> 01:42:51,845
I mean, if my teammate took me out
for no reason on like lap two, I'd be
2528
01:42:51,845 --> 01:42:53,465
like, what was this atmat for doing?
2529
01:42:54,965 --> 01:42:56,575
Or a total Elon move.
2530
01:42:56,595 --> 01:42:57,325
Go F yourself.
2531
01:42:57,385 --> 01:42:58,065
Yes.
2532
01:42:58,065 --> 01:42:59,545
Is it unsportsmanlike?
2533
01:42:59,555 --> 01:43:00,335
Blah, blah, blah.
2534
01:43:00,345 --> 01:43:06,145
Like, if someone is doing it in a
way that's super malicious or very
2535
01:43:06,235 --> 01:43:08,405
directed and pointed at someone, fine.
2536
01:43:08,475 --> 01:43:11,295
There is some level of reprimanding
that needs to take place.
2537
01:43:11,295 --> 01:43:13,655
But if you're on your team
rating and you're like, Fuck!
2538
01:43:13,725 --> 01:43:14,595
Sorry, guys.
2539
01:43:14,605 --> 01:43:15,535
Like, messed that up.
2540
01:43:15,535 --> 01:43:16,605
Like Who cares?
2541
01:43:16,605 --> 01:43:17,535
Move on with life.
2542
01:43:17,575 --> 01:43:21,315
Don't broadcast it then if we're worried
that somebody's sensitive and hearing it.
2543
01:43:21,335 --> 01:43:22,105
I think that's silly.
2544
01:43:22,135 --> 01:43:24,245
Hopefully it doesn't get put into effect.
2545
01:43:24,285 --> 01:43:25,115
That's just crap.
2546
01:43:25,445 --> 01:43:27,925
Well, it's also just the sport itself.
2547
01:43:27,985 --> 01:43:30,685
It has the luxury of
having the access to that.
2548
01:43:30,685 --> 01:43:31,655
You don't have that with like football.
2549
01:43:31,670 --> 01:43:34,240
Football or baseball or any
of those kinds of things.
2550
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:37,000
It's part of the realism of racing.
2551
01:43:37,090 --> 01:43:38,770
Like you said, these
guys are under stress.
2552
01:43:38,810 --> 01:43:41,200
They're under a lot of
load and shit happens.
2553
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:42,810
Let's just call a spade a spade.
2554
01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:45,350
And that was multiple
drivers comments too.
2555
01:43:45,350 --> 01:43:47,210
It's like, we're broadcasted.
2556
01:43:47,740 --> 01:43:48,750
That's why you hear it.
2557
01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:53,770
They're like, mic up anyone on the
soccer pitch or in a basketball game.
2558
01:43:53,780 --> 01:43:55,930
I guarantee you they're
cursing at each other.
2559
01:43:55,950 --> 01:43:56,970
You just can't hear it.
2560
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:00,720
And to that point, they actually
do Mike some individual players.
2561
01:44:01,055 --> 01:44:04,295
And some of those other sports,
they just don't broadcast.
2562
01:44:04,305 --> 01:44:07,535
They edit and filter out what
the general public hears.
2563
01:44:07,555 --> 01:44:11,754
But there are instances like Tanya just
mentioned, where they actually do mic
2564
01:44:11,755 --> 01:44:13,465
some of the players at these events.
2565
01:44:13,525 --> 01:44:17,585
They could do the same thing here too,
because if F1 TV feed or whatever,
2566
01:44:17,585 --> 01:44:21,335
they could put a delay on it and then
they could filter out the curse word.
2567
01:44:23,785 --> 01:44:24,665
Yeah, exactly.
2568
01:44:24,665 --> 01:44:26,925
What's a, what's a two or
three second delay going to do?
2569
01:44:26,980 --> 01:44:28,150
You for each team.
2570
01:44:28,150 --> 01:44:29,530
You got somebody sitting there to edit it.
2571
01:44:29,590 --> 01:44:30,940
It used to be seven seconds.
2572
01:44:30,940 --> 01:44:33,070
That gave them enough time to
filter that kind of stuff out.
2573
01:44:33,070 --> 01:44:35,800
And now with the AI technology
and everything else we have, it
2574
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:36,940
should be an automatic bleep.
2575
01:44:36,940 --> 01:44:37,570
Just bleep it.
2576
01:44:37,570 --> 01:44:38,650
You don't even have to filter it out.
2577
01:44:38,650 --> 01:44:39,160
Just bleep it.
2578
01:44:39,280 --> 01:44:39,580
Bleep.
2579
01:44:39,580 --> 01:44:39,910
Done.
2580
01:44:40,030 --> 01:44:40,660
Well, you know what?
2581
01:44:40,660 --> 01:44:41,800
Can't be bleeped out.
2582
01:44:41,860 --> 01:44:45,970
And I couldn't believe this
corporate espionage underfoot
2583
01:44:46,060 --> 01:44:47,470
in the world of IndyCar.
2584
01:44:47,500 --> 01:44:47,890
Wow.
2585
01:44:47,890 --> 01:44:48,670
What year are we in?
2586
01:44:49,150 --> 01:44:49,960
I know, right?
2587
01:44:50,020 --> 01:44:51,545
This is some cloak and dagger.
2588
01:44:52,050 --> 01:44:57,290
Spy versus spy stuff the way the story
reads and I love the headline It sounds
2589
01:44:57,290 --> 01:45:02,710
like super bad fbi agents carry out
operation at ray hall headquarters
2590
01:45:02,740 --> 01:45:04,490
You're like, what is this about?
2591
01:45:04,490 --> 01:45:05,760
Like, what did they do?
2592
01:45:05,770 --> 01:45:06,490
Who died?
2593
01:45:06,540 --> 01:45:10,580
Okay, whatever apparently they hired
somebody from andretti global came
2594
01:45:10,580 --> 01:45:16,235
over to ray hall's team and I don't
know if this person took intellectual
2595
01:45:16,235 --> 01:45:20,505
property from Andretti and then here's
my USB stick, plug it into the computer.
2596
01:45:20,505 --> 01:45:24,615
Or if it's like tried to do a
brain dump of everything he knew
2597
01:45:24,645 --> 01:45:26,305
and giving them an advantage.
2598
01:45:26,315 --> 01:45:27,835
You sign non competes.
2599
01:45:27,835 --> 01:45:30,755
You're supposed to be good
about that stuff and NDAs and
2600
01:45:30,755 --> 01:45:31,935
all those kinds of things.
2601
01:45:31,955 --> 01:45:32,915
But I don't know.
2602
01:45:32,985 --> 01:45:36,105
I'm curious to see how this plays
out, but there's really not any
2603
01:45:36,105 --> 01:45:39,505
more information than exactly
what's in this article from racer.
2604
01:45:39,675 --> 01:45:39,995
com.
2605
01:45:39,995 --> 01:45:40,435
It's just like.
2606
01:45:40,575 --> 01:45:43,365
The FBI went in and took all
their computers and I guess
2607
01:45:43,365 --> 01:45:44,235
they'll never get 'em back.
2608
01:45:44,235 --> 01:45:44,745
Who knows?
2609
01:45:44,745 --> 01:45:45,615
The shadow knows.
2610
01:45:45,705 --> 01:45:49,725
I also wanted to just say,
I learned something today.
2611
01:45:49,755 --> 01:45:57,345
Now I knew that you could watch WEC
races on HBO Max or just, it's just Max
2612
01:45:57,345 --> 01:46:03,135
now, which came in handy today because
Adam was home sick, so I needed to.
2613
01:46:03,305 --> 01:46:05,135
Watch him needed something to do.
2614
01:46:05,135 --> 01:46:08,385
So I put on something palatable that
a less than one year old would be able
2615
01:46:08,385 --> 01:46:12,355
to watch what I did not know that I'm
pleasantly surprised by is you can also
2616
01:46:12,355 --> 01:46:15,475
get the full MotoGP schedule as well.
2617
01:46:15,745 --> 01:46:20,885
So I was sitting there watching
Mark Marquez's return to glory,
2618
01:46:20,935 --> 01:46:22,505
catching some of that old stuff.
2619
01:46:22,565 --> 01:46:23,345
It was quite nice.
2620
01:46:23,355 --> 01:46:28,575
So if anybody's a motorcycle fan and has
been looking to try and watch the MotoGP
2621
01:46:28,575 --> 01:46:30,595
races, you can catch them on the max app.
2622
01:46:30,595 --> 01:46:32,345
They're also on TNT sports.
2623
01:46:32,450 --> 01:46:34,660
Which are sometimes broadcast on true TV.
2624
01:46:34,730 --> 01:46:36,620
And then all the WEC races are out there.
2625
01:46:36,620 --> 01:46:40,930
They were at CODA, I think September
1st, which was fun to watch.
2626
01:46:41,050 --> 01:46:42,090
I learned something new today.
2627
01:46:42,140 --> 01:46:45,610
And don't forget the IMSA
season is wrapping up here
2628
01:46:45,610 --> 01:46:47,150
in the early part of October.
2629
01:46:47,220 --> 01:46:47,940
Oh yeah.
2630
01:46:47,940 --> 01:46:49,269
They're going to Petit Le Mans.
2631
01:46:49,270 --> 01:46:49,910
Are you going?
2632
01:46:49,970 --> 01:46:51,370
I want to go so bad.
2633
01:46:52,035 --> 01:46:56,285
But I can't because of your
third child, we'll just say I'm
2634
01:46:56,295 --> 01:46:57,695
grounded for a little while.
2635
01:46:57,695 --> 01:47:01,335
But yes, if all had gone to plan, I
was going to meet up with some friends.
2636
01:47:01,335 --> 01:47:03,245
There's an ACO event going on down there.
2637
01:47:03,255 --> 01:47:05,825
A bunch of other stuff that weekend
would love to be a Petit Lamar.
2638
01:47:05,825 --> 01:47:07,605
I absolutely adore road Atlanta.
2639
01:47:07,605 --> 01:47:08,185
I think that's a.
2640
01:47:08,265 --> 01:47:11,035
Fantastic event, but you know,
sometimes it's not in the cards.
2641
01:47:11,035 --> 01:47:15,295
There's always next year, which I am
still hopeful to do a Lamont's classic.
2642
01:47:15,325 --> 01:47:16,695
So looking forward to that, but we'll see.
2643
01:47:16,725 --> 01:47:20,765
We'll see if I can swing France again,
that would be absolutely amazing.
2644
01:47:20,775 --> 01:47:21,895
But there's other cool stuff.
2645
01:47:21,915 --> 01:47:24,165
Goodwood, a million other
things I'd love to do.
2646
01:47:24,175 --> 01:47:25,735
Goodwood is on my bucket list.
2647
01:47:25,735 --> 01:47:27,335
Goodwood and the revival.
2648
01:47:27,375 --> 01:47:28,595
I want to do the Isle of Man.
2649
01:47:28,595 --> 01:47:32,985
I'm not a big bike guy when it
comes to following motorcycle,
2650
01:47:32,985 --> 01:47:34,365
like motor GP and all that stuff.
2651
01:47:34,365 --> 01:47:38,015
Like my dad was, but I'm like,
Isle of Man, be pretty cool.
2652
01:47:38,035 --> 01:47:41,325
Yeah, well, that wraps
up our motor sports news.
2653
01:47:41,325 --> 01:47:42,505
Oh wait, no, it doesn't.
2654
01:47:42,555 --> 01:47:45,345
We've got one more piece here and
that's from the virtual world.
2655
01:47:45,365 --> 01:47:48,725
So if you guys go back into this month's
catalog, you'll see that we did an episode
2656
01:47:48,725 --> 01:47:50,895
with Steffi Dow from Innit Esports.
2657
01:47:50,905 --> 01:47:53,985
She's a world champion motocross rider.
2658
01:47:54,085 --> 01:47:57,985
She's got a sim for STEM program and
something else called screen to speed.
2659
01:47:57,985 --> 01:48:01,095
And they have a lot of these tournaments
going on throughout the season and
2660
01:48:01,095 --> 01:48:02,695
they have one coming up right now.
2661
01:48:02,765 --> 01:48:06,199
They were looking for people to
qualify, to represent the United States.
2662
01:48:07,260 --> 01:48:08,120
eSports games.
2663
01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:11,740
We posted about this on our discord
and a couple other places where you can
2664
01:48:11,740 --> 01:48:16,240
get access to up to date information
from GTM and NPN headquarters.
2665
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:19,490
But what's really cool is you
can continue to follow the action
2666
01:48:19,570 --> 01:48:21,560
of the global eSports games.
2667
01:48:21,560 --> 01:48:22,960
You can join their discord.
2668
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:26,870
You can follow them on Twitch
and the real life finale.
2669
01:48:27,030 --> 01:48:31,500
Is either going to be in South
America or in Abu Dhabi, look for
2670
01:48:31,500 --> 01:48:35,320
that in December, but you can learn
more about what's going on in the
2671
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:37,460
global esports games at initesports.
2672
01:48:37,560 --> 01:48:39,440
gg.
2673
01:48:39,480 --> 01:48:43,120
Go from there, there'll be a link to
the global esports games qualifier
2674
01:48:43,120 --> 01:48:45,460
and the link and information
is also in our show notes.
2675
01:48:45,470 --> 01:48:49,700
So good luck to everybody from Init
Esports is going to be competing on this
2676
01:48:49,710 --> 01:48:52,020
global stage in the virtual racing world.
2677
01:48:52,175 --> 01:48:54,825
As a reminder, our Motorsports

2678
01:48:54,825 --> 01:48:57,505

2679
01:48:57,615 --> 01:49:01,765
A couple quick teasers for
the remainder of the season.
2680
01:49:01,905 --> 01:49:05,205
As I mentioned before, there's a
write up, there's video, and other

01:49:05,215 --> 01:49:08,665
coverage of the Argottsinger Awards

01:49:08,665 --> 01:49:10,325

01:49:11,055 --> 01:49:11,365
org.
2684
01:49:11,375 --> 01:49:14,210
We also posted a And some of it

org.
2687

01:49:19,920 --> 01:49:21,890

So check that out.
2690
01:49:23,020 --> 01:49:24,170
I will say that racingarchives.

org is the only place to get access to
the YouTube video compilation that was
2692
01:49:29,170 --> 01:49:30,780
made for the events of that's there.
2693
01:49:30,830 --> 01:49:36,570
And don't forget at the tail end of
October, starting on the 31st Halloween.
2694
01:49:36,780 --> 01:49:41,170
The Real Wheel Film Festival kicks

And you might recall that the IMRRC loves
to do a Corvette sweepstakes every year.
2704
01:50:11,155 --> 01:50:15,735
This year is no exception and
the Corvette sweepstakes is back.

And Brad, you know what else
you'll start getting for free?
2791
01:54:31,300 --> 01:54:36,140
We're trying something new because no one
has time for 10, 000 more emails a week.
2792
01:54:36,150 --> 01:54:39,200
So we're going to be putting
our newsletter on Patreon.
2793
01:54:39,310 --> 01:54:42,180
There's no sense in putting
it on our website, which is
2794
01:54:42,200 --> 01:54:43,960
already an online magazine.
2795
01:54:44,000 --> 01:54:47,680
But if you need that quick hit
of GTM goodness, we'd Check out

01:54:47,710 --> 01:54:49,650

Without you, none of
this would be possible.
2806
01:55:16,900 --> 01:55:19,139
The next one, big 5 0!
2807
01:55:19,140 --> 01:55:20,810
Not that 5 0, we already did 5 0.
2808
01:55:20,950 --> 01:55:23,530
All right, and on that
bombshell Book him, Dan o!
2809
01:55:24,200 --> 01:55:25,190
Oh, look at this thing.
2810
01:55:25,500 --> 01:55:26,480
Does it actually work?
2811
01:55:27,960 --> 01:55:29,260
No, we cannot hear you at all.
2812
01:55:30,750 --> 01:55:32,920
Did you turn it off and
turn it back on again?
2813
01:55:33,030 --> 01:55:33,830
It plugged in.
2814
01:55:35,410 --> 01:55:36,110
Is it working now?
2815
01:55:36,485 --> 01:55:37,245
Yeah, it's working.
2816
01:55:37,415 --> 01:55:38,635
You were recording, right?
2817
01:55:38,785 --> 01:55:39,125
Oh, yeah.
2818
01:55:39,125 --> 01:55:39,494
Yeah.
2819
01:55:39,495 --> 01:55:40,085
I never hit stop.
2820
01:55:40,125 --> 01:55:40,485
Okay.
2821
01:55:40,485 --> 01:55:43,525
I didn't I didn't see the,
uh, I don't see the red dot.
2822
01:55:43,635 --> 01:55:44,945
No, it's up in the top corner.
2823
01:55:45,105 --> 01:55:45,595
Okay.
2824
01:55:45,905 --> 01:55:48,975
Ever since I got this thing, it's
just not been a pleasant experience.
2825
01:55:49,005 --> 01:55:50,385
And so I don't know.
2826
01:55:50,395 --> 01:55:52,285
But everybody says how good the yetis are.
2827
01:55:52,285 --> 01:55:54,325
They're supposed to be
made when they're working.
2828
01:55:54,325 --> 01:55:54,865
They're great.
2829
01:55:54,875 --> 01:56:01,115
Whoever I bought it from, you know, I
guess Amazon seller 23876524 just you.
2830
01:56:01,430 --> 01:56:04,730
Didn't sell me all the, the whole
thing packaged properly, I guess.
2831
01:56:04,990 --> 01:56:05,260
Yeah.
2832
01:56:05,270 --> 01:56:06,980
Well, I mean, you could get another cable.
2833
01:56:06,980 --> 01:56:08,780
I mean, especially USB C or whatever.
2834
01:56:08,780 --> 01:56:09,250
It's supposed to be.
2835
01:56:09,250 --> 01:56:11,730
So micro USB is hard to find these days.
2836
01:56:11,740 --> 01:56:12,820
Everything's USB C.
2837
01:56:12,820 --> 01:56:13,220
Yeah.
2838
01:56:13,340 --> 01:56:15,110
Anchor makes those things
like they're going.
2839
01:56:15,110 --> 01:56:16,770
So I need, I need to buy some.
2840
01:56:16,800 --> 01:56:17,880
So, yeah.
2841
01:56:17,990 --> 01:56:19,280
But how do I sound?
2842
01:56:19,360 --> 01:56:20,010
You sound good.
2843
01:56:20,010 --> 01:56:21,770
You sound not scratchy like before.
2844
01:56:21,810 --> 01:56:22,790
Not scratchy.
2845
01:56:22,790 --> 01:56:23,100
Okay.
2846
01:56:23,100 --> 01:56:24,280
Good, good, good, good.
2847
01:56:24,360 --> 01:56:25,450
What about volume wise?
2848
01:56:25,625 --> 01:56:26,285
No, you're good.
2849
01:56:26,395 --> 01:56:26,825
You're good.
2850
01:56:26,965 --> 01:56:27,295
Perfect.
2851
01:56:27,535 --> 01:56:27,945
Let's see.
2852
01:56:27,945 --> 01:56:31,245
Show notes, by the way, watch
out with your illegal mufflers.
2853
01:56:31,955 --> 01:56:32,145
Yeah.
2854
01:56:32,175 --> 01:56:32,685
Be careful.
2855
01:56:32,945 --> 01:56:34,135
My car's still on Jackson.
2856
01:56:34,135 --> 01:56:35,125
So I can't get a ticket.
2857
01:56:35,685 --> 01:56:36,245
I love it.
2858
01:56:38,915 --> 01:56:40,155
Well, that's that.
2859
01:56:40,185 --> 01:56:41,045
That's a wrap, right?
2860
01:56:41,155 --> 01:56:41,495

Wait, how's my hair?
16
00:00:37,955 --> 00:00:43,004
But anyway, okay, welcome to drive through
episode number 49, our monthly recap where
17
00:00:43,005 --> 00:00:46,835
we put together a menu of automotive,
motorsport, and random car adjacent news.
18
00:00:47,065 --> 00:00:48,824
Now let's pull up to window number one.
19
00:00:49,285 --> 00:00:50,385
For some automotive news.
20
00:00:50,495 --> 00:00:53,455
Did you notice that Tanya
already has her popcorn?
21
00:00:53,475 --> 00:00:54,775
She is ready for tonight.
22
00:00:55,475 --> 00:00:57,155
Is this the Florida Man episode?
23
00:00:57,255 --> 00:00:58,285
No, this is better.
24
00:00:58,285 --> 00:01:02,035
Tonight, we are bonded in
the love of storytelling.
25
00:01:02,165 --> 00:01:05,025
Because tonight, tonight, tonight.
26
00:01:06,010 --> 00:01:10,860
Whoa, that old Genesis song was
the Genesis or Phil Collins.
27
00:01:10,860 --> 00:01:11,450
I can't remember.
28
00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:12,680
Is there really a difference?
29
00:01:12,730 --> 00:01:13,050
Yeah.
30
00:01:13,110 --> 00:01:14,760
It's the same lead singer.
31
00:01:14,939 --> 00:01:15,599
It's not that different.
32
00:01:15,750 --> 00:01:18,610
It's like, is there a difference
between Bon Jovi and John Bon Jovi?
33
00:01:18,660 --> 00:01:19,430
No, not really.
34
00:01:19,450 --> 00:01:20,169
It's the same shit.
35
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:20,490
Yeah.
36
00:01:20,769 --> 00:01:23,930
No, I've got a bone to pick with this
intro though, because we only pull
37
00:01:23,930 --> 00:01:26,770
up to window number one, but I guess
it's kind of like when you go through
38
00:01:26,770 --> 00:01:29,910
a drive through nowadays, they've
got two windows, you really just go
39
00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:32,560
to the first one or the second one
and that's it, it's just one window.
40
00:01:32,770 --> 00:01:33,400
Window number one.
41
00:01:33,420 --> 00:01:33,920
Here we go.
42
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:34,890
What are we doing today?
43
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,230
Only a few times in the 49 drive
throughs that we've had over the
44
00:01:39,230 --> 00:01:43,229
last few seasons have we really
taken a step into the personal.
45
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,589
Again, sharing the love of storytelling.
46
00:01:45,650 --> 00:01:50,789
And this month it was almost, and I hate
this word, serendipitous that certain
47
00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:55,170
articles lended themselves to events
that had been going on in my life.
48
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,030
It's going to be a little bit of
a personal showcase this time.
49
00:01:58,030 --> 00:02:00,179
We're going to talk about Buford T.
50
00:02:00,179 --> 00:02:03,929
Justice, Roscoe Picotrain, and
maybe Judge Dredd in there.
51
00:02:03,930 --> 00:02:05,830
You know, I am the law.
52
00:02:06,890 --> 00:02:08,579
Judge Jerry Executioner.
53
00:02:08,609 --> 00:02:12,219
But I got to back up a little bit because
I got to set the stage for our listeners.
54
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,485
Now, some of our listeners, May
know just before back to school.
55
00:02:16,505 --> 00:02:20,505
So somewhere in between the last drive
through in this one, my wife broke her
56
00:02:20,505 --> 00:02:23,695
ankle pretty bad in three places, surgery.
57
00:02:23,715 --> 00:02:27,825
We're talking deck screws and metal
plates and weeks and weeks and weeks
58
00:02:27,825 --> 00:02:29,114
of recovery and stuff like that.
59
00:02:29,155 --> 00:02:30,234
And how did she do it again?
60
00:02:30,244 --> 00:02:31,565
She was wrestling a bear, right?
61
00:02:31,574 --> 00:02:34,975
She was hiking and got literally
stuck between a rock and a hard place.
62
00:02:36,245 --> 00:02:37,335
That being said.
63
00:02:37,515 --> 00:02:42,365
I am on the road more now
every day of every week than
64
00:02:42,365 --> 00:02:44,675
I have been in probably years.
65
00:02:44,695 --> 00:02:48,065
And you guys already know how
I feel about being in traffic.
66
00:02:48,105 --> 00:02:49,374
It's a Herculean effort.
67
00:02:49,405 --> 00:02:52,925
I'm doing a lot of stuff, running
around, all these kinds of things.
68
00:02:53,025 --> 00:02:56,865
In the early part of this, I'm trying to
get some stuff just done around the house.
69
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:57,900
And I was like, you know what?
70
00:02:57,950 --> 00:03:01,770
I'm going to run to Home Depot because
I've been driving the minivan for so long.
71
00:03:01,780 --> 00:03:02,549
I was like, you know what?
72
00:03:02,590 --> 00:03:04,100
My station wagon has been sitting.
73
00:03:04,190 --> 00:03:06,609
I'm going to take it into
town just to drive it, to get
74
00:03:06,609 --> 00:03:07,790
it out of its parking spot.
75
00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:09,560
And hopefully the tires aren't square.
76
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,540
So I head off into town.
77
00:03:11,619 --> 00:03:15,579
It's not like super early in the
morning, like contractor early, you
78
00:03:15,579 --> 00:03:18,620
know, got to be at Home Depot to
pick up my Tesla replacement parts
79
00:03:18,620 --> 00:03:19,850
at six in the morning type of deal.
80
00:03:19,850 --> 00:03:20,520
It was after 8am.
81
00:03:21,049 --> 00:03:22,080
I go there.
82
00:03:22,220 --> 00:03:23,550
I get what I need.
83
00:03:23,630 --> 00:03:27,310
I'm coming back and there's a
major intersection traffic light.
84
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,830
There's a wawa there and it's
three lanes that can turn left
85
00:03:30,860 --> 00:03:32,020
and one that can turn right.
86
00:03:32,020 --> 00:03:35,079
So it's actually a really, really
wide intersection and I'm the
87
00:03:35,079 --> 00:03:38,389
first car in the middle lane and
there's a bunch of cars behind me.
88
00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:42,300
Beautiful day, absolutely gorgeous
weather, had the windows down.
89
00:03:42,330 --> 00:03:43,520
I didn't even have the radio on.
90
00:03:43,530 --> 00:03:46,150
I was just enjoying that Saturday morning.
91
00:03:46,355 --> 00:03:50,475
In my old car, right, the
light turns green and I just
92
00:03:50,485 --> 00:03:52,115
proceed to take off like normal.
93
00:03:52,195 --> 00:03:53,775
I'm not doing anything stupid.
94
00:03:53,855 --> 00:03:56,855
I've lived in this town for
what feels like forever now.
95
00:03:56,945 --> 00:04:01,314
And I had noticed in the two weeks prior
that the town was just crawling with cops,
96
00:04:01,365 --> 00:04:03,195
you know, in their normal hiding places.
97
00:04:03,205 --> 00:04:05,745
And then they're in the bushes
and then they're in camouflage
98
00:04:05,745 --> 00:04:06,795
and all this kind of thing.
99
00:04:06,795 --> 00:04:07,685
And I'm like, you know what?
100
00:04:07,745 --> 00:04:10,215
I'm not here to burn the
carbon out of the intake.
101
00:04:10,235 --> 00:04:14,190
I just, you know, Want to drive the car,
drive a manual transmission car and just
102
00:04:14,190 --> 00:04:15,940
enjoy this beautiful Saturday morning.
103
00:04:15,940 --> 00:04:20,579
So I'm coming home from the home depot,
a little short shift for a second gear.
104
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,880
I'm going below the speed
limit and through traffic.
105
00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:27,510
I see behind me, this
gray Ford Explorer come.
106
00:04:27,860 --> 00:04:31,690
Flying up on just like what the hell
so my eyes got a little big and I'm
107
00:04:31,690 --> 00:04:34,690
like, okay and All the lights go off.
108
00:04:34,690 --> 00:04:36,469
I'm like, what did I do?
109
00:04:36,580 --> 00:04:37,709
Am I going too slow?
110
00:04:37,710 --> 00:04:40,320
Did something fall off you
can imagine what happened
111
00:04:40,330 --> 00:04:42,170
next license and registration?
112
00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:45,730
I've been through this not my first
rodeo I'm, like, excuse me officer.
113
00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:46,629
Is there a problem?
114
00:04:46,844 --> 00:04:48,275
Is there something I can help you with?
115
00:04:48,414 --> 00:04:49,695
He didn't already like that.
116
00:04:49,695 --> 00:04:50,784
You know, they start their speech.
117
00:04:50,885 --> 00:04:53,615
Please understand that you're under
recording and blah, blah, blah.
118
00:04:53,615 --> 00:04:55,184
Everything you say and
do and blah, blah, blah.
119
00:04:55,185 --> 00:04:55,905
Like, okay, great.
120
00:04:55,905 --> 00:04:56,384
Yeah, I get it.
121
00:04:56,384 --> 00:04:58,905
Your camera's like in my
nostril at this point.
122
00:04:59,094 --> 00:05:04,830
And he proceeds to tell me that my car
was Unnecessarily loud and frightening.
123
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,149
Which car was this?
124
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:07,310
This is the Wookiee wagon.
125
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:08,850
My VR6 station wagon.
126
00:05:08,940 --> 00:05:10,350
I had to bite my tongue.
127
00:05:10,420 --> 00:05:12,270
So I responded and I said, Really?
128
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,380
Do you happen to have a
decibel meter on your truck?
129
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,240
Can you tell me how loud it is?
130
00:05:17,484 --> 00:05:21,085
And he looked at me like I was a
Cerberus from hell with three heads.
131
00:05:21,234 --> 00:05:24,705
I didn't know if he didn't know what I was
talking about, but I was flat out like,
132
00:05:24,734 --> 00:05:26,744
how can you tell me if my car is too loud?
133
00:05:26,804 --> 00:05:29,254
Meanwhile, my blood is
like starting to boil.
134
00:05:29,275 --> 00:05:30,444
Cause I'm like, this is stupid.
135
00:05:30,444 --> 00:05:31,644
What did you pull me over for?
136
00:05:31,705 --> 00:05:32,934
Cause I wasn't speeding.
137
00:05:33,034 --> 00:05:34,614
I wasn't doing anything dumb.
138
00:05:34,654 --> 00:05:36,104
I was in the right lane.
139
00:05:36,154 --> 00:05:38,564
No, I didn't do a burnout
at the traffic light.
140
00:05:38,735 --> 00:05:41,594
I'm minding my own business
coming home from Home Depot.
141
00:05:41,645 --> 00:05:42,844
Like, what do you want from me?
142
00:05:42,914 --> 00:05:46,125
We joke about this all the time
because you're a very well bearded man.
143
00:05:46,164 --> 00:05:49,825
But how much of this do you think could
be profiling because you don't look like
144
00:05:49,825 --> 00:05:51,685
the normal demographic in that area?
145
00:05:51,685 --> 00:05:52,654
That's what I said.
146
00:05:52,655 --> 00:05:53,874
I thought about that.
147
00:05:53,914 --> 00:05:57,855
I remember when we were coming home
from Texas from CODA and you got
148
00:05:57,855 --> 00:05:59,974
stopped, you know, the random check.
149
00:06:01,010 --> 00:06:03,580
Checkpoint, I've got a
photo evidence to prove it.
150
00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:06,390
They frisked you and went
all up and down your crotch.
151
00:06:06,450 --> 00:06:09,409
Meanwhile, you could have been
carrying anything and everything.
152
00:06:09,419 --> 00:06:11,210
And you walked through
like it was nothing.
153
00:06:11,259 --> 00:06:13,020
I look like, you know, the good old boy.
154
00:06:13,650 --> 00:06:18,339
I mean, it was beginning of
September when this happened to you.
155
00:06:18,339 --> 00:06:21,020
And September is a particular
month in this country.
156
00:06:21,020 --> 00:06:22,640
Now, not saying anything.
157
00:06:22,659 --> 00:06:27,140
You look at the old profile pictures and
the headshots, My hair is much shorter.
158
00:06:27,170 --> 00:06:28,370
I've let my hair grow out.
159
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,150
Your beard has grown out a lot.
160
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,060
But I have a lot of white in my beard too.
161
00:06:32,060 --> 00:06:35,390
So when he came around the corner, I
think he was like, Oh, this is older guy.
162
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,599
And this little hot rod is scared.
163
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,440
And but yes, I did think about that.
164
00:06:39,460 --> 00:06:40,769
Being of olive skin.
165
00:06:42,184 --> 00:06:45,015
It's like, you know, how much of
that does play in, you know, he
166
00:06:45,015 --> 00:06:46,554
was blonde haired and blue eyed.
167
00:06:46,554 --> 00:06:48,205
I don't know what to say about that.
168
00:06:48,275 --> 00:06:50,314
Again, I don't think
about things that way.
169
00:06:50,344 --> 00:06:53,335
People are people and people do
people things and that's that.
170
00:06:53,344 --> 00:06:54,334
Move on with life.
171
00:06:54,364 --> 00:06:55,384
That's not how the world works.
172
00:06:55,424 --> 00:06:57,255
I know, I know, I live in a bubble.
173
00:06:57,294 --> 00:06:59,234
I wonder if he's gonna
pull over Santa Claus.
174
00:06:59,304 --> 00:07:01,104
Oh yeah, Tanya brought that up.
175
00:07:01,184 --> 00:07:06,184
She's like, there's another guy with a VR6
GTI running around and it makes noise too.
176
00:07:06,224 --> 00:07:07,474
Apparently he looks like Santa Claus.
177
00:07:07,474 --> 00:07:09,174
He looks straight up like Santa Claus.
178
00:07:09,244 --> 00:07:11,564
Is Santa Claus driving a Mark 4 VR6?
179
00:07:13,254 --> 00:07:16,344
Delivering audible treats to
all the little boys and girls.
180
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:21,659
Okay, first of all, can you argue as
a VR6 owner that the VR6 sounds bad?
181
00:07:21,770 --> 00:07:23,689
I mean, it sounds fucking amazing.
182
00:07:23,749 --> 00:07:24,289
Thank you.
183
00:07:24,289 --> 00:07:26,770
It's one of the best
sounding engines of all time.
184
00:07:26,799 --> 00:07:30,840
Other than V8s, and then a select
few like straight sixes and stuff
185
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,079
like that, the VR6 is one of the
best sounding motors ever produced.
186
00:07:34,089 --> 00:07:39,699
But even at full song, the VR6 is quieter
than the Nissan VQ, because those,
187
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:43,640
those, those Three fifties are allowed
the infinities and all those, the GTRs
188
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:46,619
and a straight six BMW is really shrill.
189
00:07:46,659 --> 00:07:50,379
Like if you want to talk about a
startling engine, the VR six is not it.
190
00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:53,070
It sounds like a freaking
Wookiee, but anyway, I digress.
191
00:07:53,179 --> 00:07:55,630
I don't know why he was expecting
to get any money out of you.
192
00:07:55,630 --> 00:07:58,029
You were driving a 22 year old Volkswagen.
193
00:07:58,339 --> 00:07:59,650
It's blood out of a turn up.
194
00:07:59,750 --> 00:08:00,489
Thank you.
195
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:01,059
Thank you.
196
00:08:01,270 --> 00:08:01,719
Thank you.
197
00:08:01,830 --> 00:08:04,610
Well, what I think he wanted was
to get me for something, because I
198
00:08:04,610 --> 00:08:07,960
got a loud car, and I got a lowered
car, and it's a station wagon.
199
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,469
It's not like I'm running around in a
Camaro with a roots blower on it, right?
200
00:08:11,469 --> 00:08:14,070
It's just a freaking 20 year
old Volkswagen, who cares?
201
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,810
So then he proceeds to tell me, well,
you know, you have a taillight out.
202
00:08:17,810 --> 00:08:20,800
Oh, the old taillight trick, right?
203
00:08:20,830 --> 00:08:23,340
Did he smash it with a
nightstick before he came up?
204
00:08:23,810 --> 00:08:25,460
Man, if he had done that,
that would have hurt.
205
00:08:25,530 --> 00:08:28,580
Cause I got European taillights,
but Tanya had actually told me and
206
00:08:28,580 --> 00:08:30,169
I forgot like a week or two prior.
207
00:08:30,169 --> 00:08:31,799
She's like, you're right
rear taillights out.
208
00:08:31,849 --> 00:08:32,929
Yeah, I got to change that.
209
00:08:32,929 --> 00:08:35,589
But in the midst of everything
that's been happening at home,
210
00:08:35,709 --> 00:08:36,839
I totally forgot about it.
211
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:37,169
Okay.
212
00:08:37,169 --> 00:08:37,919
I need a brake light.
213
00:08:37,979 --> 00:08:38,780
Thank you, officer.
214
00:08:38,809 --> 00:08:39,669
I didn't know.
215
00:08:39,689 --> 00:08:41,549
You know, I never get to
see the back of my car.
216
00:08:41,549 --> 00:08:43,929
So I'm trying to be nice
because he's already pissed me
217
00:08:43,929 --> 00:08:45,280
off with this exhaust thing.
218
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:45,560
Right?
219
00:08:45,599 --> 00:08:48,300
So license registration
goes back to the car.
220
00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:49,610
He's back there for a while.
221
00:08:49,610 --> 00:08:51,250
I'm like, ah, God damn it.
222
00:08:51,310 --> 00:08:53,300
What kind of ticket is
he gonna hit me with?
223
00:08:53,370 --> 00:08:56,650
Again, I didn't do anything and he didn't
say I was speeding because I wasn't.
224
00:08:56,650 --> 00:08:58,290
I was actually under the speed limit.
225
00:08:58,319 --> 00:09:01,809
Like I said, I knew they had been crawling
and they were all kind of in the area.
226
00:09:01,869 --> 00:09:03,149
He didn't have a gun on you anyway.
227
00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:07,360
There's no way he He comes back and he's
like, I have two pieces of paper for you.
228
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,250
I'm like, oh, geez, Louise,
what the hell is this?
229
00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:13,020
He's like, well, the first one's
a repair order for your taillight.
230
00:09:13,020 --> 00:09:14,969
You need to take it
somewhere and have it fixed.
231
00:09:14,969 --> 00:09:16,717
I'm like, I can fucking fix it at home.
232
00:09:16,717 --> 00:09:18,749
And I sort of said that,
but not in that way.
233
00:09:18,749 --> 00:09:20,219
I said, okay, I'm going to go home.
234
00:09:20,219 --> 00:09:21,219
It's going to take me five minutes.
235
00:09:21,230 --> 00:09:23,130
We really have to go through this process.
236
00:09:23,140 --> 00:09:23,610
He's like, yep.
237
00:09:23,699 --> 00:09:26,020
I was like, okay, that's how
he's going to get under my skin.
238
00:09:26,415 --> 00:09:29,204
because he can't give me a speeding
ticket because again, I wasn't speeding.
239
00:09:29,265 --> 00:09:32,064
Then he gives me another
warning on top of that.
240
00:09:32,115 --> 00:09:35,714
And this is what really just
irked me and pissed me off.
241
00:09:35,725 --> 00:09:40,074
He starts off by saying, you know, I, I
know Volkswagen because you know, this and
242
00:09:40,074 --> 00:09:44,055
that, and it shouldn't be unnecessarily
loud like this and blah, blah, blah.
243
00:09:44,094 --> 00:09:45,685
And he goes, you know,
your muffler cut off.
244
00:09:45,685 --> 00:09:46,645
And I'm like, no, no, no, no.
245
00:09:46,725 --> 00:09:48,505
So you can look under my car.
246
00:09:48,545 --> 00:09:50,025
I have a catalytic converter.
247
00:09:50,045 --> 00:09:52,155
a resonator and a full exhaust.
248
00:09:52,235 --> 00:09:53,974
I, I don't understand
what you're talking about.
249
00:09:54,094 --> 00:09:56,745
And he's like, well, I'm not looking,
I'm not looking under your car.
250
00:09:56,745 --> 00:09:58,515
I'm like, I'm telling you, it's all there.
251
00:09:58,555 --> 00:10:00,714
Well, that's not the exhaust
that this car came with.
252
00:10:00,714 --> 00:10:04,344
And I said, okay, well the original
one rotted off the car and this
253
00:10:04,344 --> 00:10:05,964
is what I put on to replace it.
254
00:10:06,170 --> 00:10:09,490
And what's funny is I went back afterwards
because I kind of started doubting myself.
255
00:10:09,569 --> 00:10:12,110
I bought my exhaust from Tectonics.
256
00:10:12,110 --> 00:10:14,130
It's DOT approved as
a replacement exhaust.
257
00:10:14,210 --> 00:10:17,479
So in my head, I'm like, again, running
these scenarios and I said to him, where
258
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,949
am I supposed to get a replacement exhaust
for an almost 22 year old Volkswagen?
259
00:10:21,949 --> 00:10:23,620
And he's like, well,
that's not my problem.
260
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:25,530
Okay, well now you're
just an asshole, right?
261
00:10:25,550 --> 00:10:26,980
And I'm like, fine, I'll
just live with that.
262
00:10:27,094 --> 00:10:31,214
And mind you, when I was pulled over, I
let it sit in idle and it just sits there
263
00:10:32,155 --> 00:10:34,344
and it's not like it lopes like a V8.
264
00:10:34,375 --> 00:10:35,704
It's pretty subdued at idle.
265
00:10:35,704 --> 00:10:37,365
Like you got to kind of
go, Oh, is it running?
266
00:10:37,444 --> 00:10:40,005
You mean you can have a conversation
with a police officer at idle?
267
00:10:40,054 --> 00:10:40,745
A hundred percent.
268
00:10:40,764 --> 00:10:43,735
But what really got under my
skin, you know, after he's
269
00:10:43,735 --> 00:10:45,064
like, you know, have a nice day.
270
00:10:45,064 --> 00:10:47,824
And I was like, you know, thanks again
for letting me know about the brake light.
271
00:10:47,854 --> 00:10:50,665
So I sit there and I read this
warning and I'm going to read it to
272
00:10:50,665 --> 00:10:52,385
you exactly the way it's written.
273
00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:56,700
Motor vehicle not equipped
with exhaust muffler system.
274
00:10:56,780 --> 00:10:59,020
Unlawful use of muffler cutoff.
275
00:10:59,070 --> 00:11:02,009
Which he didn't check to
see if that's even accurate.
276
00:11:02,020 --> 00:11:04,699
You told him to look under
the car, he refused to.
277
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,699
And if this was a TRO, or repair
order, first of all I'd get a
278
00:11:08,699 --> 00:11:10,869
lawyer involved, because there's
a bunch of things on there.
279
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,240
On this particular warning
that are incorrect that first
280
00:11:14,260 --> 00:11:15,200
would get this thrown out.
281
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,100
But second of all, the first mechanic
that puts the car in the air goes,
282
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,299
what the hell are you talking about?
283
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,570
There's a cat, there's a resonator,
and there's a muffler with a tip.
284
00:11:22,610 --> 00:11:23,469
There's no cutoff.
285
00:11:23,469 --> 00:11:24,500
There's no bypass.
286
00:11:24,549 --> 00:11:27,869
This is a DOT approved
replacement exhaust for my car.
287
00:11:27,870 --> 00:11:29,120
It's what I could afford to buy.
288
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,000
And it's what I put on there.
289
00:11:30,170 --> 00:11:32,990
It's not my problem if it's
louder and you can't tell me
290
00:11:32,990 --> 00:11:35,370
what the definition of loud is.
291
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:38,699
How about the fact that it passes
emissions every two years, every year.
292
00:11:38,710 --> 00:11:40,090
And that's the other thing I thought was.
293
00:11:40,574 --> 00:11:40,984
grace.
294
00:11:41,074 --> 00:11:46,514
I got together wit called one of our club
me cop and I told him the sto man, that
295
00:11:46,514 --> 00:11:52,754
guy was fishing know, he was a young cop,
academy, you know, all th and he goes,
296
00:11:52,874 --> 00:11:59,574
you're lucky with the repair order for
the fact that he's got yo these things,
297
00:11:59,574 --> 00:12:03,939
he's like, hold up and it'd be a nuis For
everybody, because I'd fight this, this is
298
00:12:03,939 --> 00:12:07,810
ridiculous, and I'm not running straight
pipes, I'm not running a side pipe with
299
00:12:07,810 --> 00:12:09,410
no mufflers or anything ridiculous.
300
00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:11,760
His badge number and name is on the paper?
301
00:12:11,810 --> 00:12:12,790
Oh yeah, it's all here.
302
00:12:12,910 --> 00:12:16,050
I would call, and I would talk
to his superior, and I would
303
00:12:16,050 --> 00:12:17,590
file a complaint for harassment.
304
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,010
I'm not that type of person, but it
pisses me off, but the story continues.
305
00:12:22,069 --> 00:12:23,540
Me and my big dooly went, ah!
306
00:12:23,970 --> 00:12:27,030
Yeah, and the Mustang guy coming
from the cars and coffee went by
307
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,819
at 70 mile an hour with his open
pipe, so that wasn't a problem.
308
00:12:29,890 --> 00:12:31,360
I'm in the little German car.
309
00:12:31,375 --> 00:12:33,245
Fur and car don't belong around here.
310
00:12:33,245 --> 00:12:35,795
You know, I'm, I'm like
one of two in the area.
311
00:12:35,845 --> 00:12:37,015
Yeah, I have the other one.
312
00:12:38,175 --> 00:12:41,224
So I go over to the inspection
place, which was interesting to
313
00:12:41,224 --> 00:12:44,665
even find a place that would do
a safety equipment repair order.
314
00:12:44,665 --> 00:12:44,934
Right.
315
00:12:44,934 --> 00:12:46,035
So that was the whole thing.
316
00:12:46,035 --> 00:12:49,254
So I get over there and it was recommended
by one of our sponsors, you know,
317
00:12:49,254 --> 00:12:50,894
Hey, this is where we take our cars.
318
00:12:50,895 --> 00:12:54,265
Don't bother with the local Firestone
or with the whatever, this and that.
319
00:12:54,454 --> 00:12:58,584
So I go over there early on a Monday
morning and I walk in the door and
320
00:12:58,584 --> 00:13:01,685
this lady looks at me and I look at
her and she's like, what do you want?
321
00:13:01,754 --> 00:13:04,295
And it's that voice, like the
caseworker in Beetlejuice.
322
00:13:05,004 --> 00:13:08,114
She's been smoking a pack a
day for the last 30 years.
323
00:13:08,184 --> 00:13:09,024
What's your problem?
324
00:13:09,025 --> 00:13:09,874
Why are you here?
325
00:13:09,980 --> 00:13:13,520
We just get to chit chatting a little bit
and I said, look, I got this repair order.
326
00:13:13,630 --> 00:13:14,680
That's for the taillight.
327
00:13:14,750 --> 00:13:17,699
I hate to bother you guys with this,
but it's a bother to me as well.
328
00:13:17,699 --> 00:13:20,259
And she's like, yeah, these
cops, you know, blah, blah, blah.
329
00:13:20,260 --> 00:13:22,040
They've been on the war
path the last two weeks.
330
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,859
You know, they've been putting up
blockades throughout the county,
331
00:13:24,859 --> 00:13:27,230
pulling people over, looking
at their license plates and
332
00:13:27,259 --> 00:13:28,900
registrations and this and that.
333
00:13:28,900 --> 00:13:31,270
And I was like, wow, I didn't know
that, but I knew something was up.
334
00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:33,140
We get to talking a little bit more.
335
00:13:33,180 --> 00:13:35,375
And I said, You know, it
could have been worse.
336
00:13:35,385 --> 00:13:36,555
And she goes, well, what do you mean?
337
00:13:36,555 --> 00:13:38,985
And I said, you know, he gave
me a warning for my exhaust.
338
00:13:38,995 --> 00:13:40,805
She goes, I didn't even hear you come in.
339
00:13:40,975 --> 00:13:41,985
What kind of car do you have?
340
00:13:42,245 --> 00:13:43,464
I'm like, okay.
341
00:13:43,605 --> 00:13:46,335
And she goes, you're
telling me he was scared?
342
00:13:46,365 --> 00:13:47,855
He was scared of your car?
343
00:13:47,855 --> 00:13:49,204
I need to see this thing.
344
00:13:49,245 --> 00:13:49,985
And I'm like, okay.
345
00:13:50,035 --> 00:13:51,164
So we walk outside.
346
00:13:51,195 --> 00:13:53,114
She immediately starts laughing.
347
00:13:53,165 --> 00:13:55,635
And she's not laughing because
she is laughing at my car.
348
00:13:55,675 --> 00:13:56,965
Laughing at the situation.
349
00:13:56,995 --> 00:13:59,855
Because now she recognizes
the situation, right?
350
00:13:59,865 --> 00:14:01,395
She's like, you gotta be kidding me.
351
00:14:01,550 --> 00:14:04,280
So she looks at my car and she's
like, you know, this is really nice.
352
00:14:04,319 --> 00:14:06,640
You should take it to shows
and like blah, blah, blah.
353
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,339
And I said, you know, it's
just my Sunday grocery getter.
354
00:14:09,339 --> 00:14:13,189
Like literally, I just like driving
it around town and on the B roads and,
355
00:14:13,219 --> 00:14:14,560
you know, minding my own business.
356
00:14:14,610 --> 00:14:17,370
Another guy from the shop shows
up and, you know, we chit chat
357
00:14:17,370 --> 00:14:20,279
and talking about the car and this
and that and got the hood open.
358
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:22,280
And she's looking at all
the things I've done to it.
359
00:14:22,290 --> 00:14:23,410
You know, she's a car gal.
360
00:14:23,510 --> 00:14:24,839
And she starts telling me about.
361
00:14:24,975 --> 00:14:27,964
I can't believe you'd get pulled
over in this and blah, blah.
362
00:14:28,564 --> 00:14:30,074
It's the way she worded it.
363
00:14:30,125 --> 00:14:32,834
She was going off about
her Mustang that she built.
364
00:14:32,845 --> 00:14:34,515
She's apparently got a Camaro as well.
365
00:14:34,515 --> 00:14:35,735
Some pro street car.
366
00:14:35,735 --> 00:14:37,324
She's like, God forbid they find me.
367
00:14:37,324 --> 00:14:39,724
My car's a bright red and super loud.
368
00:14:39,735 --> 00:14:41,165
And she's like, I'm going to jail.
369
00:14:41,165 --> 00:14:41,505
Right?
370
00:14:41,574 --> 00:14:43,525
So we're just BS in a little bit.
371
00:14:43,574 --> 00:14:48,675
And then she's like, all right, I
need to hear how scary your car is.
372
00:14:48,765 --> 00:14:49,735
I fired up.
373
00:14:50,025 --> 00:14:52,045
She's got this big grin on her face.
374
00:14:52,335 --> 00:14:52,795
Was that it?
375
00:14:53,175 --> 00:14:57,685
Blip the throttle to like 2, 500 and
then she goes, Yeah, that sounds good!
376
00:14:58,445 --> 00:14:59,355
I'm like, oh my god.
377
00:14:59,405 --> 00:15:00,924
Real country girl, right?
378
00:15:00,925 --> 00:15:02,505
And I mean, I was eating it up.
379
00:15:02,575 --> 00:15:04,935
And she's like, I'll be
happy to sign your paper.
380
00:15:04,974 --> 00:15:07,364
Get on out of here and have
yourself a blessed day.
381
00:15:07,365 --> 00:15:08,745
You have made my day.
382
00:15:08,775 --> 00:15:09,955
And she just started laughing.
383
00:15:09,955 --> 00:15:11,615
She's like, this is unreal, right?
384
00:15:11,664 --> 00:15:14,035
Needless to say, we got
all that taken care of.
385
00:15:14,085 --> 00:15:16,515
But I was just like, come on, man.
386
00:15:16,635 --> 00:15:17,575
Seriously?
387
00:15:17,625 --> 00:15:20,185
And I've only had this
happen to me one other time.
388
00:15:20,290 --> 00:15:23,330
And this was in my old
drape five Audi coupe.
389
00:15:23,450 --> 00:15:26,630
And I had a full exhaust on that
too, but it would reverberate off the
390
00:15:26,630 --> 00:15:28,630
buildings in like downtown Baltimore.
391
00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:32,019
And I went to go pick up my wife and
I got pulled over like within a block.
392
00:15:32,060 --> 00:15:33,920
Cause they were like, why
are you street racing?
393
00:15:35,310 --> 00:15:37,090
And it was another one
of these, I was like.
394
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,980
Dude, I'm like a block
from power plant live.
395
00:15:39,980 --> 00:15:41,570
Like, where am I going to go?
396
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,800
The streets are as wide as a Fiat 500.
397
00:15:43,810 --> 00:15:44,660
Like, are you kidding me?
398
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,179
That time they tried to get me on
a front license plate for that car,
399
00:15:48,180 --> 00:15:52,269
but I literally had the plate on the
passenger floor with a broken bracket.
400
00:15:52,310 --> 00:15:54,709
I'm like, it broke off
the car earlier today.
401
00:15:54,740 --> 00:15:56,070
Like I need to order the part.
402
00:15:56,070 --> 00:15:58,850
So they sort of like, let me go,
but it was all like, you know,
403
00:15:58,860 --> 00:16:00,470
lights and sirens and we're good.
404
00:16:01,715 --> 00:16:05,565
You know, I'm like, come on, man, I'm
not trying to be a public nuisance here.
405
00:16:05,775 --> 00:16:06,755
I'm really not.
406
00:16:06,755 --> 00:16:07,985
I'm too old for this stuff.
407
00:16:08,065 --> 00:16:11,635
But Tanya, you know, as we were talking
about this and discussing this and kind of
408
00:16:11,664 --> 00:16:15,954
peeling it apart, you discovered something
new and it's in the news now about some
409
00:16:15,954 --> 00:16:20,345
changes that are happening in our fair
state with respect to the sound of cars.
410
00:16:20,345 --> 00:16:23,915
Yeah, I'm in trouble because the MoCo
is trying to get bill passed that
411
00:16:23,915 --> 00:16:25,225
they're going to put noise cameras up.
412
00:16:25,290 --> 00:16:27,070
throughout good old MoCo, Maryland.
413
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:27,860
Can you believe that?
414
00:16:27,860 --> 00:16:30,020
Basically a speed camera, but sound.
415
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:30,310
Yeah.
416
00:16:30,310 --> 00:16:31,590
With a decibel meter on it.
417
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,060
They're going to catch
you at the speed of sound.
418
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:33,600
Take your phone.
419
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,139
Your decibels are too high.
420
00:16:36,180 --> 00:16:40,380
So what's going to happen is
we're all going to rev and then
421
00:16:40,390 --> 00:16:43,834
drop it in neutral when we all
know where the sound cameras are.
422
00:16:43,935 --> 00:16:46,655
And we're going to coast by and then
we're going to downshift and floor it.
423
00:16:46,695 --> 00:16:50,095
All your experience at
Lime Rock has paid off.
424
00:16:50,735 --> 00:16:53,934
That is so true because people actually
do that where the sound meters are.
425
00:16:53,934 --> 00:16:56,725
And I've heard they do that at Summit
Point and some other places as well.
426
00:16:56,735 --> 00:17:00,954
So, I mean, as racers, we kind of know
those games or get the dryer vent, more
427
00:17:00,954 --> 00:17:04,935
Home Depot parts and turn it away so
that the sound is, you know, pushing
428
00:17:04,944 --> 00:17:06,225
the other with a Doppler effect.
429
00:17:06,265 --> 00:17:09,825
I literally did this in town coming back
yesterday through the car in neutral.
430
00:17:09,835 --> 00:17:12,900
Cause I was like, Passing a cop with
his window open and I like threw the
431
00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:15,889
car in neutral and like ghosted by him.
432
00:17:15,890 --> 00:17:19,839
Because of all of this, your experience
hearing the Montgomery County thing,
433
00:17:19,849 --> 00:17:23,440
like all flashed in my head and I
was like, crap, not that I was doing
434
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,309
anything because I could have just
gone by at the speed I was going.
435
00:17:26,309 --> 00:17:28,850
It was, it wouldn't have been anything,
but I was like, I'm not taking a chance.
436
00:17:28,850 --> 00:17:29,609
Yeah.
437
00:17:29,610 --> 00:17:29,820
Yeah.
438
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:30,900
Not right now.
439
00:17:31,125 --> 00:17:32,605
Maryland is just a great place to live.
440
00:17:32,745 --> 00:17:33,855
It's going the way of California.
441
00:17:34,004 --> 00:17:39,075
I go back to that article from May where
we talked about, you know, how loud
442
00:17:39,075 --> 00:17:44,004
exhausts are attractive to people with
criminal minds and psychopaths and this
443
00:17:44,004 --> 00:17:45,865
and that, but it really got in my head.
444
00:17:45,865 --> 00:17:50,395
I haven't driven the car since, and I
shouldn't feel guilty to drive my own car.
445
00:17:50,495 --> 00:17:52,034
I have regular plates on it.
446
00:17:52,075 --> 00:17:54,794
I have a legal DOT approved exhaust.
447
00:17:54,935 --> 00:17:57,075
Make a copy of your paperwork
and put it in the car.
448
00:17:57,125 --> 00:17:59,675
You know what I do keep in the
car now is a spare taillight bulb.
449
00:17:59,685 --> 00:18:02,254
I was gonna say, the other lesson
learned here is have a spare
450
00:18:02,254 --> 00:18:03,565
taillight bulb in your car.
451
00:18:03,615 --> 00:18:05,365
You also might want to
get a decibel meter.
452
00:18:05,405 --> 00:18:08,144
I do actually want to get one,
which you actually can download.
453
00:18:08,165 --> 00:18:09,835
There's some apps you can
just download on your phone.
454
00:18:09,845 --> 00:18:11,235
Yeah, I would, I would do that.
455
00:18:11,285 --> 00:18:12,164
And I'm curious.
456
00:18:12,205 --> 00:18:15,800
I would almost look up the ones
that the cops Allegedly use I
457
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,500
don't I would have the same model.
458
00:18:17,630 --> 00:18:18,690
I just have it sit in the car.
459
00:18:18,690 --> 00:18:21,550
Well look officer This says it was at 95.
460
00:18:21,590 --> 00:18:23,170
What's the legal limit 102?
461
00:18:23,220 --> 00:18:27,370
Oh, you'd be in violation at 95
guarantee Is it posted anywhere?
462
00:18:27,380 --> 00:18:31,669
I mean i'm guaranteeing every state is
different But what scares me is normally
463
00:18:31,670 --> 00:18:35,040
stuff like this comes from california
first and it's weird that it's happening
464
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,120
here on the east coast Oh, no, it's not.
465
00:18:37,130 --> 00:18:37,870
It's montgomery county.
466
00:18:37,870 --> 00:18:41,879
This is normal Well, what i'm saying
is if other states buy into this Now
467
00:18:41,879 --> 00:18:45,629
suddenly it's like Switzerland where
the cars have to be whisper quiet.
468
00:18:45,660 --> 00:18:49,690
So there's been a noise camera in
Laurel for, I don't know, decades now.
469
00:18:49,770 --> 00:18:52,280
And how many times have you blown
by it at wide open throttle?
470
00:18:52,340 --> 00:18:54,279
Never, because I know it's
there, but there's also speed
471
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,330
cameras on that same road.
472
00:18:55,870 --> 00:19:00,225
But it's on a road that's Directly
with like apartments on either side.
473
00:19:00,295 --> 00:19:04,125
I understand in that area there was
probably some dipshit that kept doing
474
00:19:04,155 --> 00:19:08,735
burnouts, waking everybody up at all
hours of the night and they did that.
475
00:19:08,795 --> 00:19:12,955
So if they want to put noise cameras
in a very tight residential area, I
476
00:19:12,955 --> 00:19:14,865
don't like it but I'd understand it.
477
00:19:14,935 --> 00:19:19,155
If it's on like an open road that
you're not bothering anybody, that's BS.
478
00:19:19,245 --> 00:19:22,005
Instead of catching the criminals,
they just punish everybody else.
479
00:19:22,129 --> 00:19:23,389
Well, that's the problem.
480
00:19:23,450 --> 00:19:24,370
And there it is.
481
00:19:24,399 --> 00:19:26,870
And that's something I
noticed being in traffic.
482
00:19:26,889 --> 00:19:30,120
And it's something that I
thought is super illegal.
483
00:19:30,159 --> 00:19:32,330
And maybe I'm wrong,
but please correct me.
484
00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:35,980
I'm seeing a lot more tinted windshields.
485
00:19:36,010 --> 00:19:36,480
Yes.
486
00:19:36,540 --> 00:19:40,579
And I'm not talking just like, oh, we
put like a foot and a half of black.
487
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,090
across the top.
488
00:19:42,150 --> 00:19:45,800
I've seen two tone where it's super
dark limo tint on the first half
489
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,080
and then it's dark on the bottom.
490
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:49,740
And then I've seen like all
black where you can't see the
491
00:19:49,740 --> 00:19:52,040
driver and it's super obvious.
492
00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:56,020
If I can't see you, not that I really
want to see you in your car, but if I
493
00:19:56,020 --> 00:19:57,990
can't see you, your glass is tinted.
494
00:19:57,990 --> 00:20:01,810
Some of them are reflective on top of
that, like polarizing, which is really
495
00:20:01,810 --> 00:20:03,240
distracting in your rear view mirror.
496
00:20:03,450 --> 00:20:07,774
And I'm like, that's illegal everywhere
in the United It's like, how are
497
00:20:07,774 --> 00:20:10,425
those folks not getting pulled over?
498
00:20:10,495 --> 00:20:14,605
But you're worried about me in
my Volkswagen, which at cruise
499
00:20:14,635 --> 00:20:18,195
altitude doing 50 miles an
hour, the car gets really quiet.
500
00:20:18,254 --> 00:20:21,135
So I'm going to say low hanging fruit.
501
00:20:21,175 --> 00:20:25,224
You are the lower chance of causing
a headache in that guy's day.
502
00:20:25,264 --> 00:20:28,165
The person with willing to do
the tenant windows is probably.
503
00:20:28,185 --> 00:20:32,435
Doing some other nefarious things
and you're just JoBlo citizen
504
00:20:32,435 --> 00:20:33,685
just trying to putt around.
505
00:20:33,825 --> 00:20:35,345
I think you're, you
were low hanging fruit.
506
00:20:35,375 --> 00:20:36,855
Why waste the time to pull me over?
507
00:20:36,864 --> 00:20:38,264
Especially if I wasn't speeding.
508
00:20:38,264 --> 00:20:38,905
Come on.
509
00:20:38,965 --> 00:20:39,645
Like what's the point?
510
00:20:39,645 --> 00:20:41,625
He saw that brake light
after you pulled over.
511
00:20:41,845 --> 00:20:42,695
That's true too.
512
00:20:42,734 --> 00:20:45,324
Well, if you were in a light though,
he may have saw it at the light.
513
00:20:45,365 --> 00:20:47,294
So that's the thing
about that traffic light.
514
00:20:47,345 --> 00:20:50,340
I couldn't see him because I'm always
kind of Scanning and looking around,
515
00:20:50,340 --> 00:20:53,100
make sure, you know, some dump
truck isn't coming without breaks.
516
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:57,389
But he was so far back in the
line that I didn't see him.
517
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,100
He was grasping at straws the whole time.
518
00:20:59,100 --> 00:20:59,370
Right.
519
00:20:59,370 --> 00:21:04,530
And he heard me because I was the first
in line of the three cars as we're
520
00:21:04,530 --> 00:21:06,720
turning and I stuck out like a sore thumb.
521
00:21:06,750 --> 00:21:08,370
'cause it's like, oh, look at that car.
522
00:21:08,370 --> 00:21:09,120
That goodness.
523
00:21:09,149 --> 00:21:12,629
But he probably thought I was
gonna do a smoky burnout and run
524
00:21:12,629 --> 00:21:13,800
down at a hundred miles an hour.
525
00:21:13,860 --> 00:21:17,340
But you know, what else is funny is
not even a half mile down from that
526
00:21:17,340 --> 00:21:19,510
intersection is the police barracks.
527
00:21:19,580 --> 00:21:20,590
I'm not an idiot.
528
00:21:20,650 --> 00:21:23,230
I'm not going to go blow and buy
there at a hundred miles an hour.
529
00:21:23,230 --> 00:21:25,880
Like that's literally the
dumbest thing you could do.
530
00:21:25,980 --> 00:21:27,219
I would have gone straight there.
531
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,409
I'd have pulled right in there with my
little notice and said, I want to file
532
00:21:30,409 --> 00:21:32,460
a complaint against officer Buford here.
533
00:21:32,490 --> 00:21:34,240
Well, and that's what our friend said.
534
00:21:34,250 --> 00:21:37,250
The former cop, he's like, go
change your bulb and drive right
535
00:21:37,250 --> 00:21:39,700
over to the barracks right now and
get them to sign the paperwork.
536
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:40,400
And I was like, you know what?
537
00:21:40,430 --> 00:21:41,329
I'm not going to tempt fate.
538
00:21:41,830 --> 00:21:44,050
that this guy is gonna be there.
539
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:45,760
I just don't want to do it.
540
00:21:45,790 --> 00:21:46,840
What would he have gotten you on?
541
00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:49,330
He can get you on a lot
on that car, technically.
542
00:21:49,420 --> 00:21:52,120
Lowered suspension, blah, blah, blah.
543
00:21:52,239 --> 00:21:54,719
Oh, all these stupid marijuana laws
that I don't have to deal with.
544
00:21:54,730 --> 00:21:55,060
That's right.
545
00:21:55,060 --> 00:21:55,980
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
546
00:21:55,989 --> 00:21:56,420
Just wait.
547
00:21:56,420 --> 00:21:57,290
It'll come to you too.
548
00:21:57,379 --> 00:21:58,880
On rural Virginia.
549
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:00,219
But let's face it.
550
00:22:00,270 --> 00:22:01,360
It could be worse.
551
00:22:01,410 --> 00:22:06,370
Have you heard about all the tunes
and the tuners and all the shops?
552
00:22:06,450 --> 00:22:07,320
That are closing.
553
00:22:07,380 --> 00:22:11,250
Cobb just got charged that they
owe like 2.9 million, almost 3
554
00:22:11,250 --> 00:22:12,180
million or something like that.
555
00:22:12,180 --> 00:22:13,860
3 million for selling.
556
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,900
Basically what the EPA is qualifying
as emissions defeat devices.
557
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:19,740
Are they wrong?
558
00:22:19,830 --> 00:22:20,700
No.
559
00:22:20,730 --> 00:22:21,090
No.
560
00:22:21,090 --> 00:22:25,470
The way tunes are designed today, I
would say there's more of that going on
561
00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:29,460
because like Brad's car and my car, or
even your car, Tanya, you get a chip.
562
00:22:29,490 --> 00:22:32,340
It's not really designed
to change emissions.
563
00:22:32,660 --> 00:22:36,900
It's designed to remap, let's say the VE
table, the volumetric efficiency table
564
00:22:36,910 --> 00:22:38,470
or the timing table or whatever it is.
565
00:22:38,470 --> 00:22:41,339
Give you a little bit more fuel, a
little bit more rev or whatever it is,
566
00:22:41,420 --> 00:22:45,040
but they weren't going in there and
systematically turning off functions
567
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,669
of the engine to bypass, let's say
particulate filters or exhaust gas
568
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,010
recirculation or things like that.
569
00:22:50,010 --> 00:22:52,230
So I understand where does this end?
570
00:22:52,370 --> 00:22:56,430
I'm sure there's a cutoff where they'll
retroactively say, okay, well if you got a
571
00:22:56,430 --> 00:22:58,590
tune on a 20 year old car, we don't care.
572
00:22:58,660 --> 00:23:00,800
This is clinching down on the aftermarket.
573
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:06,050
If you pass emissions with a tune today
on a modern car, let's say it's a Subaru
574
00:23:06,050 --> 00:23:08,010
or a Volkswagen or a Mazda or whatever.
575
00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:10,110
If you pass, does it matter?
576
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:14,399
Like how are the drivers and
the owners going to suffer from
577
00:23:14,439 --> 00:23:15,610
what Cobb is going through?
578
00:23:15,610 --> 00:23:17,449
Like what's the butterfly effect of this?
579
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:18,500
I'm just dumbfounded.
580
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:20,309
I don't even know what to say about this.
581
00:23:20,350 --> 00:23:23,000
If that wasn't bad enough and
you were talking about, you know,
582
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,139
we're all here in the DMV together
suffering equally in some ways.
583
00:23:26,410 --> 00:23:27,720
There are worse states.
584
00:23:27,780 --> 00:23:28,370
No doubt.
585
00:23:28,450 --> 00:23:32,660
Ours don't even make the list of the
worst states to be a car owner in.
586
00:23:32,710 --> 00:23:34,090
Well, I know number one is California.
587
00:23:34,170 --> 00:23:35,050
Oh, 100 percent.
588
00:23:35,070 --> 00:23:37,190
My guess is Colorado is another.
589
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,129
Oh, it sucks to be in Washington D.
590
00:23:39,129 --> 00:23:39,389
C.
591
00:23:39,389 --> 00:23:39,950
owning a car.
592
00:23:40,859 --> 00:23:41,099
D.
593
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:41,369
C.
594
00:23:41,369 --> 00:23:42,789
didn't make the list either.
595
00:23:42,919 --> 00:23:44,419
We won't do the whole Letterman thing.
596
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:45,200
Check this out.
597
00:23:45,230 --> 00:23:46,919
Here's the surprise ones to me.
598
00:23:47,050 --> 00:23:49,010
New Mexico and Arkansas.
599
00:23:49,090 --> 00:23:51,110
Alaska, that's sort of obvious.
600
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,300
Brad, you're 100 percent right.
601
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:53,639
Colorado's on that list.
602
00:23:53,730 --> 00:23:55,620
Oregon's on that list too.
603
00:23:55,690 --> 00:23:57,059
California's on that list.
604
00:23:57,129 --> 00:24:00,990
You've got Georgia, Nevada,
and tied for third, Florida.
605
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:02,750
I disagree.
606
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,459
Florida is surprising to me.
607
00:24:04,459 --> 00:24:07,790
But the things that they include
like fuel costs and car insurance,
608
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,870
I was thinking, you know, pivoting
from our last discussion, I was
609
00:24:10,870 --> 00:24:14,320
thinking it'd be more on like the,
like the EPA and the restrictions.
610
00:24:14,370 --> 00:24:16,889
This isn't just registration fees, right?
611
00:24:16,909 --> 00:24:20,279
This is the most expensive states
in the country to own a car today.
612
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:20,709
Okay.
613
00:24:20,709 --> 00:24:24,959
Cause I was going to call BS because
Texas should not like Maryland can't
614
00:24:24,980 --> 00:24:26,929
not be on this list of Texas is there.
615
00:24:26,929 --> 00:24:28,394
I know how much registration was, but.
616
00:24:28,465 --> 00:24:31,475
Per year in Texas and Maryland
has now exceeded that.
617
00:24:31,514 --> 00:24:34,405
Well, I'm glad you brought
that up because I had to renew
618
00:24:34,405 --> 00:24:36,405
the registration on the Jeep.
619
00:24:36,514 --> 00:24:39,985
I got to tell you, it
is, it was probably 70%.
620
00:24:40,305 --> 00:24:44,814
It is a 58 percent increase
over two years ago.
621
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,940
5, 000 pound vehicles in this
state, 187 for two years.
622
00:24:48,950 --> 00:24:51,750
And a lot of people are going, Oh,
compared to my state, that's cheap.
623
00:24:51,750 --> 00:24:53,510
California, man, like thousand dollars.
624
00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:55,160
I've heard stories and stuff.
625
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,689
And there's other places that are
super cheap where it's like Ohio.
626
00:24:57,689 --> 00:24:59,849
And it's like 40 bucks to
register your car kind of deal.
627
00:24:59,929 --> 00:25:03,780
But when you go from 187, which
was already a price increase
628
00:25:03,790 --> 00:25:04,760
from when it was one foot.
629
00:25:04,790 --> 00:25:09,430
49 and before that it was like 127
and whatever, it's jumped through
630
00:25:09,450 --> 00:25:13,629
COVID and now 323 for two years.
631
00:25:13,660 --> 00:25:17,480
It was really hilarious as I got the
letter in the mail from the DMV, I walk
632
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,799
in and I'm talking to my wife and I
said, this is the most expensive sticker
633
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,500
I've ever put on anything in my life.
634
00:25:22,540 --> 00:25:23,389
Cause that's all you get.
635
00:25:23,430 --> 00:25:25,470
No, you get a little three by three part.
636
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,190
That piece of paper is worth it.
637
00:25:27,620 --> 00:25:31,200
You get a sticker that says, Oh, you'll
get pulled over for something else.
638
00:25:33,145 --> 00:25:35,855
And I sort of wondered to myself
like why all this stuff isn't
639
00:25:35,855 --> 00:25:37,505
digital, why it even matters.
640
00:25:37,505 --> 00:25:41,105
There should be almost a barcode
on your tag that they could
641
00:25:41,105 --> 00:25:44,345
just scan and look up and see if
your registration is up to date.
642
00:25:44,375 --> 00:25:47,195
You know, it's almost like
they can pull your plates.
643
00:25:47,215 --> 00:25:50,665
It's almost like they can just read
your tag and look up information
644
00:25:50,665 --> 00:25:52,495
about you in the DMV system.
645
00:25:52,525 --> 00:25:53,405
No.
646
00:25:53,455 --> 00:25:54,375
They can't do that now?
647
00:25:54,405 --> 00:25:55,665
This is Star Trek, dude.
648
00:25:55,804 --> 00:25:57,155
technology you're talking about.
649
00:25:57,155 --> 00:25:58,735
Oh my god, beam me up Scotty.
650
00:25:58,764 --> 00:26:02,185
Although I do kind of like being a look at
people and being like, look at this hasn't
651
00:26:02,185 --> 00:26:04,024
renewed his tags in like five years.
652
00:26:04,105 --> 00:26:06,155
But again, that guy's
not getting pulled over.
653
00:26:06,225 --> 00:26:09,645
No getting pulled over for
having a one out of your two
654
00:26:09,665 --> 00:26:11,414
license plate lights burned out.
655
00:26:11,555 --> 00:26:12,855
because they were 20 years old.
656
00:26:12,855 --> 00:26:14,155
That happened to me another time too.
657
00:26:14,155 --> 00:26:16,595
Luckily, I didn't get a repair
order for that one, but I was like,
658
00:26:16,615 --> 00:26:18,025
again, thank you for telling me.
659
00:26:18,665 --> 00:26:19,195
Okay.
660
00:26:19,265 --> 00:26:20,565
Is it really that important?
661
00:26:20,635 --> 00:26:21,055
No.
662
00:26:21,215 --> 00:26:21,515
Okay.
663
00:26:21,545 --> 00:26:23,554
Meanwhile, what about that
guy who just drove by?
664
00:26:23,564 --> 00:26:25,065
His muffler's dragging on the ground.
665
00:26:25,065 --> 00:26:25,234
Hold on.
666
00:26:25,234 --> 00:26:25,394
Hold on.
667
00:26:25,394 --> 00:26:26,215
Wait, wait, wait.
668
00:26:26,285 --> 00:26:26,985
I heard a Mustang.
669
00:26:27,085 --> 00:26:27,754
Are there sirens?
670
00:26:28,944 --> 00:26:30,495
Oh, come on.
671
00:26:30,575 --> 00:26:32,225
What about every Altima on the road?
672
00:26:32,295 --> 00:26:32,785
Please.
673
00:26:32,785 --> 00:26:33,555
That's unfair.
674
00:26:33,565 --> 00:26:34,345
You're targeting.
675
00:26:34,385 --> 00:26:37,425
Not to get political, but how many of
these states are liberal run states?
676
00:26:37,545 --> 00:26:39,954
Our fair state is questionable
every other day of the week.
677
00:26:39,955 --> 00:26:40,615
So I don't know.
678
00:26:40,810 --> 00:26:41,690
But this continues.
679
00:26:41,690 --> 00:26:41,950
Okay.
680
00:26:41,950 --> 00:26:42,640
This continues.
681
00:26:42,650 --> 00:26:43,690
So we got more.
682
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,100
Oh, you're, you're kidding.
683
00:26:45,190 --> 00:26:46,550
Oh, wait, there's more.
684
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:48,670
I love this.
685
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,100
So I told you it's personal.
686
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:53,140
This whole showcases the stories of
what's happened over the last month.
687
00:26:53,180 --> 00:26:53,790
Look at this guy.
688
00:26:53,810 --> 00:26:55,049
He doesn't drive anywhere.
689
00:26:55,050 --> 00:26:57,754
And then like he's driving
somewhere for like, Two weeks
690
00:26:57,774 --> 00:26:58,885
and look at all these stories.
691
00:26:59,175 --> 00:26:59,905
All right, what's next?
692
00:26:59,935 --> 00:27:02,615
So I'm back in the minivan
driving the kids to the city, all
693
00:27:02,615 --> 00:27:03,735
this kind of stuff for school.
694
00:27:03,845 --> 00:27:06,134
And I decided I'm going to work remote.
695
00:27:06,185 --> 00:27:08,804
I'm going to be closer to school
because if something happens when the
696
00:27:08,804 --> 00:27:11,415
kids get sick, I don't want to have
to drive all the way and get stuck in
697
00:27:11,415 --> 00:27:12,385
traffic and all this kind of thing.
698
00:27:12,405 --> 00:27:14,305
So I'm going to do my homework.
699
00:27:14,355 --> 00:27:17,415
And I did way too much like
I do when I buy anything.
700
00:27:17,504 --> 00:27:18,925
I'm going to buy myself.
701
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,550
an electric scooter to get around town.
702
00:27:21,620 --> 00:27:22,710
It's going to be super cool.
703
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:28,320
So let me tell you, it's really difficult
to find adult rated EV scooters that
704
00:27:28,419 --> 00:27:35,529
A, are the right weight requirement,
balance of power, range, and then speed.
705
00:27:35,540 --> 00:27:37,819
So those are sort of like
the four categories, right?
706
00:27:37,820 --> 00:27:39,520
You have to look at, and it
started reminding me of like,
707
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,560
if I was purchasing an electric
vehicle, I got to look at weight.
708
00:27:42,580 --> 00:27:43,460
I got to look at speed.
709
00:27:43,460 --> 00:27:47,560
I got to look at range, anxiety
is a thing on the scooter as well.
710
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:48,480
Let me tell you.
711
00:27:48,705 --> 00:27:54,874
I ended up buying a Varla Wasp, which
comes in as the lightest adult scooter.
712
00:27:54,935 --> 00:27:57,774
It doesn't have the highest top
speed, but it has decent range,
713
00:27:57,804 --> 00:28:00,284
but lightest at 32 pounds.
714
00:28:00,344 --> 00:28:05,715
The ones that like really haul ass,
like a Lime or a Spin or some of the
715
00:28:05,715 --> 00:28:10,084
other ones you see in the city, those
things can weigh upwards of 50, 60,
716
00:28:10,175 --> 00:28:14,614
80, 100 pounds, because the faster
you go, the more battery you need.
717
00:28:14,705 --> 00:28:18,805
And if you're running dual motor, which
mine is not, mine's a single 350 watt
718
00:28:18,805 --> 00:28:20,625
motor, it can save all that weight.
719
00:28:20,725 --> 00:28:23,135
But the problem is it's not very fast.
720
00:28:23,205 --> 00:28:24,445
So again, I'm in the city.
721
00:28:24,545 --> 00:28:25,625
It's pretty hilly.
722
00:28:25,715 --> 00:28:29,515
And what I noticed right away was I
either have to do the old school, like
723
00:28:29,515 --> 00:28:32,494
you're on a skateboard and put out
one leg and give it some help going
724
00:28:32,494 --> 00:28:34,095
up the hills, or I have to walk it.
725
00:28:34,125 --> 00:28:37,754
It just doesn't have the torque to
carry me in my backpack up a hill.
726
00:28:37,805 --> 00:28:39,445
So that gave me pause.
727
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,370
After like the first day of
riding and I said, you know, yeah,
728
00:28:42,370 --> 00:28:43,720
there's some bike lanes here.
729
00:28:43,810 --> 00:28:47,430
They're really out in traffic and the
people here are a little bit crazy.
730
00:28:47,490 --> 00:28:48,930
And I just don't feel comfortable.
731
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,920
And the bike path doesn't go
all the way to where I'm going.
732
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,200
I have to get up on the sidewalk.
733
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,050
I have to get out of the way,
like all these kinds of things.
734
00:28:55,170 --> 00:28:57,589
I figured I'll try to ride
the sidewalk when I can.
735
00:28:57,599 --> 00:29:01,210
And if I see people, especially people
with dogs, I dismount, I get off.
736
00:29:01,210 --> 00:29:03,770
I put the scooter on the grass and
I just walk along the sidewalk,
737
00:29:03,770 --> 00:29:05,120
like I'm walking and I just push it.
738
00:29:05,140 --> 00:29:07,400
And I'm trying to be very
respectful of all the pedestrians.
739
00:29:07,625 --> 00:29:12,405
That said, I was coming back one
afternoon, I'm like by myself, and I'm
740
00:29:12,405 --> 00:29:16,294
just cruising down on the sidewalk,
and this young girl passed me on one
741
00:29:16,294 --> 00:29:19,054
of the big scooters, I mean, she just
blew by me, like I wasn't moving,
742
00:29:19,104 --> 00:29:22,869
and then when I say, this thing is
slow, it's about as fast as a car.
743
00:29:22,939 --> 00:29:25,520
As a runner, it does like
eight or nine miles an hour.
744
00:29:25,570 --> 00:29:30,159
If I'm going downhill pushed by a Metro
bus, it could probably hit its top
745
00:29:30,159 --> 00:29:33,179
speed of 15 or whatever it's supposed
to do, but it doesn't do that on the
746
00:29:33,179 --> 00:29:36,459
regular does like eight or nine mile
an hour, which is faster than walking,
747
00:29:36,459 --> 00:29:40,540
but it's whatever, what I realized
was when I tried to use the bike lane.
748
00:29:40,645 --> 00:29:44,005
I was too slow and the bicyclists were
pissed and I was just in their way
749
00:29:44,045 --> 00:29:45,415
and it was just, this is ridiculous.
750
00:29:45,475 --> 00:29:49,105
Again, I'm coming home one afternoon,
I'm by myself and then I see
751
00:29:49,105 --> 00:29:52,175
this little old lady and she's
got her cane 50 feet from her.
752
00:29:52,175 --> 00:29:55,844
I dismount and I just start walking
and I have the scooter in the grass and
753
00:29:55,845 --> 00:29:59,104
she gets in the middle of the sidewalk
and she gets as big as she can and
754
00:29:59,115 --> 00:30:01,345
she starts shaking her finger at me.
755
00:30:01,510 --> 00:30:05,959
And she starts yelling at me and she was
like let me tell you I've had enough.
756
00:30:06,169 --> 00:30:09,919
I've had enough of these scooters and
da da da and the bicyclists and the
757
00:30:09,929 --> 00:30:13,929
bicyclists should be all be put in jail
and blah blah blah and I was like yes
758
00:30:13,929 --> 00:30:15,899
ma'am yes ma'am I'm so sorry yes ma'am.
759
00:30:16,030 --> 00:30:17,909
I would have exploded her ass.
760
00:30:17,949 --> 00:30:23,370
Oh she went off and she went off and so
I said I understand but I dismounted from
761
00:30:23,379 --> 00:30:27,570
the sidewalk and now I am walking and
you are blocking me you're on my side.
762
00:30:27,590 --> 00:30:28,370
Side of the sidewalk.
763
00:30:28,370 --> 00:30:30,649
She said, there is no
side to the sidewalk.
764
00:30:30,679 --> 00:30:33,320
This is my sidewalk and
I'm gonna walk here.
765
00:30:33,379 --> 00:30:34,310
And I'm like, well damn.
766
00:30:34,340 --> 00:30:34,850
Okay.
767
00:30:34,909 --> 00:30:36,050
You own the town.
768
00:30:36,050 --> 00:30:37,820
Apparently she must have
been the mayor or something.
769
00:30:37,820 --> 00:30:38,000
Right?
770
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,120
At 97 years old, that
would've infuriated me more.
771
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,720
I don't need to get into a fight with
anybody, just like, I don't want to
772
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,699
get into an argument with the cop.
773
00:30:46,730 --> 00:30:48,020
It's a Danny Glover moment.
774
00:30:48,020 --> 00:30:49,280
You're like, I'm too old for this.
775
00:30:49,735 --> 00:30:52,365
And as soon as I part ways with
you, I'm never going to see
776
00:30:52,365 --> 00:30:53,285
you again and I don't care.
777
00:30:53,335 --> 00:30:56,365
That's why I told her to go F
herself and kept going because
778
00:30:56,365 --> 00:30:57,525
I've never seen her again.
779
00:30:57,585 --> 00:31:01,385
Then it became like this political
rant and I'm like, ma'am, I have to go.
780
00:31:01,445 --> 00:31:02,385
I could care less.
781
00:31:02,394 --> 00:31:04,545
You stayed way longer
than I ever would have.
782
00:31:04,644 --> 00:31:06,534
I don't even know if I would
have said anything to her.
783
00:31:06,534 --> 00:31:07,625
I would have just kept going.
784
00:31:07,644 --> 00:31:08,394
I would have ignored her.
785
00:31:08,435 --> 00:31:09,515
She'd have been nothing to me.
786
00:31:09,525 --> 00:31:10,245
I guess.
787
00:31:10,245 --> 00:31:13,615
I just don't need anybody reporting
me or, oh, there's a guy running
788
00:31:13,615 --> 00:31:15,335
around and, you know, he looks like.
789
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,260
Newsflash, they're gonna report you
anyway, you don't look like them.
790
00:31:19,409 --> 00:31:19,770
It's true.
791
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,489
You know, Tanya brought up a good point.
792
00:31:21,510 --> 00:31:24,830
She was like, it's not always
legal everywhere to ride
793
00:31:24,830 --> 00:31:26,590
the scooter on the sidewalk.
794
00:31:26,699 --> 00:31:30,520
And I noticed on the bigger ones,
the rental ones, it literally says
795
00:31:30,570 --> 00:31:33,969
on the base plate where you stand,
it says, do not ride on the sidewalk.
796
00:31:33,989 --> 00:31:35,909
And I'm like, I get it
because those things haul ass.
797
00:31:35,929 --> 00:31:37,610
They do like 30 miles an hour, right?
798
00:31:37,610 --> 00:31:39,139
And you know who rides
them on the sidewalk?
799
00:31:39,274 --> 00:31:41,915
Everybody that rents one safer.
800
00:31:42,225 --> 00:31:42,925
Exactly.
801
00:31:42,975 --> 00:31:43,455
It is.
802
00:31:43,485 --> 00:31:46,044
And the old lady did say, she's
going, I understand that you
803
00:31:46,044 --> 00:31:47,585
don't want to get hit by a car.
804
00:31:47,645 --> 00:31:50,175
And I'm like, okay, let's
just stop there for a moment.
805
00:31:50,205 --> 00:31:51,034
And that is true.
806
00:31:51,064 --> 00:31:54,294
I am fearful to use the bike
lane, even if it's available,
807
00:31:54,294 --> 00:31:56,684
because again, it is too slow.
808
00:31:56,724 --> 00:32:00,484
And I don't want to cause a bicyclist
to have an issue because they are
809
00:32:00,484 --> 00:32:03,664
going faster than me because they're
capable of going faster than me.
810
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:08,510
But I've noticed though everybody with
a dog that takes the time to say good
811
00:32:08,510 --> 00:32:12,600
morning or hello or whatever has been
like oh thank you so much for not scaring
812
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,360
my dog because you see the dogs get all
antsy they don't even like the cars in
813
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,189
the city let alone the scooters everybody
else I'll just ride along and they're
814
00:32:20,189 --> 00:32:24,580
like good morning hello and it's like
you know this happy middle America type
815
00:32:24,580 --> 00:32:28,110
of neighborhood it's super weird like
I'm living in this bubble that I just
816
00:32:28,110 --> 00:32:31,029
don't understand and it's like I don't
know I just can't put up with the whole
817
00:32:31,039 --> 00:32:34,654
being yelled at by everybody I guess the
bigger point is it's like some people
818
00:32:34,654 --> 00:32:36,774
respect the bicyclists and the scooters.
819
00:32:36,804 --> 00:32:40,854
I will say that I have seen some
crazy stuff from the bike messengers
820
00:32:40,874 --> 00:32:43,374
because they do still exist in
the city with their fixed gear
821
00:32:43,374 --> 00:32:46,624
bikes and they just blow through
intersections and they could care less.
822
00:32:46,624 --> 00:32:48,524
And I'm like, wow, that's brave.
823
00:32:48,554 --> 00:32:49,709
That's the word I'm going to use for it.
824
00:32:50,140 --> 00:32:52,430
But I'm like, uh, okay.
825
00:32:52,470 --> 00:32:55,570
What really gave me pause about all
this, and I'm still riding the scooter,
826
00:32:55,570 --> 00:32:57,650
I don't really care, and I ride on
the sidewalk, and I tell you what,
827
00:32:57,650 --> 00:33:00,950
there's this one kid every day, dude,
he meanders down the sidewalk, and I
828
00:33:00,970 --> 00:33:03,409
literally have to yell to him, Eyes up!
829
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:03,940
Eyes up!
830
00:33:03,980 --> 00:33:06,609
He's just gonna run into me, not
because I'm trying to run into
831
00:33:06,610 --> 00:33:09,100
him, because he's not looking, he's
playing Pokemon Go or something.
832
00:33:09,170 --> 00:33:10,930
But I fear for him.
833
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,950
I fear for myself, maybe some of the
other people, because there's an article
834
00:33:14,950 --> 00:33:20,349
that came out recently from the NHTSA
addressing the bigness of the vehicles,
835
00:33:20,349 --> 00:33:24,910
especially trucks and SUV, and they're
trying to, I guess, trim the fat.
836
00:33:24,950 --> 00:33:27,670
But I really want to know
what the definition of a quote
837
00:33:27,670 --> 00:33:30,550
unquote excessively SUV is.
838
00:33:30,570 --> 00:33:32,190
Where do we draw the line on that?
839
00:33:32,210 --> 00:33:35,670
Well, it's the same definition
as excessively loud, right?
840
00:33:35,735 --> 00:33:39,524
In Brad's perspective, he doesn't
think any of them are excessively tall.
841
00:33:39,564 --> 00:33:43,705
From my perspective, when the headlight
is at the height of my head, I'm
842
00:33:43,705 --> 00:33:46,014
sorry, that is excessively tall.
843
00:33:46,074 --> 00:33:46,485
Well, yeah.
844
00:33:46,485 --> 00:33:50,444
If you're standing outside the vehicle,
the headlights or the, or the bumper
845
00:33:50,445 --> 00:33:51,814
is at your head, that's too tall.
846
00:33:51,854 --> 00:33:52,094
Yes.
847
00:33:52,145 --> 00:33:52,634
I agree.
848
00:33:52,684 --> 00:33:53,914
You're not a Mack truck.
849
00:33:53,965 --> 00:33:55,905
You're not off roading in the bush.
850
00:33:55,925 --> 00:33:56,284
Yeah.
851
00:33:56,334 --> 00:33:58,544
You don't need a eight inch lift.
852
00:33:58,625 --> 00:34:02,595
With 42 inch tires on your F
three 50, it's unnecessary.
853
00:34:02,645 --> 00:34:03,765
I love those trucks though.
854
00:34:03,765 --> 00:34:06,785
And then they have a 12 inch drop on
their trailer hitch because they're
855
00:34:06,785 --> 00:34:08,294
too tall to actually tow anything.
856
00:34:09,305 --> 00:34:10,815
So they can tow their mulch trail.
857
00:34:10,914 --> 00:34:13,325
No, cause the guy's five foot
nothing and he can't get in.
858
00:34:13,414 --> 00:34:14,505
Or he can't get it up either.
859
00:34:15,665 --> 00:34:17,925
Going back to what we were
talking about with the cop.
860
00:34:18,060 --> 00:34:21,300
I've never seen one of these
bro dozers pulled over before.
861
00:34:21,300 --> 00:34:22,880
I had one behind me even today.
862
00:34:22,950 --> 00:34:26,910
F 150 that's been lifted, what looks
like a foot, and the tires are sticking
863
00:34:26,910 --> 00:34:28,670
out eight inches on either side.
864
00:34:28,700 --> 00:34:30,170
Which is also illegal in Maryland.
865
00:34:30,180 --> 00:34:33,440
The windshield is pitch black,
and then he's blowing diesel
866
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,500
smoke, rolling coal out stacks,
and yet I got pulled over, right?
867
00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:40,670
And I'm not trying to play the
victim here, but I'm like, really?
868
00:34:40,750 --> 00:34:41,380
That's okay?
869
00:34:41,380 --> 00:34:41,950
That's cool?
870
00:34:41,950 --> 00:34:43,650
And he's loud because those
diesels aren't working.
871
00:34:44,125 --> 00:34:46,355
How many shotguns did
you see in his gun rack?
872
00:34:46,985 --> 00:34:52,474
What's funny about all this is I never
really took it seriously until I became
873
00:34:52,474 --> 00:34:56,375
like more of a hardcore let's say
pedestrian everyday in the city and
874
00:34:56,375 --> 00:34:58,375
really like being involved in traffic.
875
00:34:58,375 --> 00:35:00,665
When you're in a car you're sort
of protected you don't think about
876
00:35:00,665 --> 00:35:03,575
yeah there's a brodozer but when
you're on a scooter doing like
877
00:35:03,715 --> 00:35:07,375
Eight and one goes by you and kind
of like nearly knocks you over.
878
00:35:07,375 --> 00:35:11,635
You're just like, you have a pucker
moment on both sides of your body.
879
00:35:11,635 --> 00:35:12,864
That is pretty incredible.
880
00:35:12,915 --> 00:35:17,735
But what I also noticed that I never
considered is how scary EVs can be.
881
00:35:18,894 --> 00:35:21,914
So it goes back to what we were
talking about before the cars need
882
00:35:21,914 --> 00:35:23,445
to make a little bit of noise.
883
00:35:23,660 --> 00:35:27,130
Because you could have a Prius
or a Tesla just creep up on you.
884
00:35:27,270 --> 00:35:31,270
I had an electric BMW following
me up a hill on a side street
885
00:35:31,310 --> 00:35:33,590
that was like only a car wide.
886
00:35:33,649 --> 00:35:37,229
I didn't know he was back there
until I heard like the crack of
887
00:35:37,229 --> 00:35:39,010
the tire roll over like a twig.
888
00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:41,155
And I was like, Oh my God,
there's something behind me.
889
00:35:41,215 --> 00:35:42,465
And he had been there a while.
890
00:35:42,465 --> 00:35:45,095
And then as soon as I realized that
he was there, I got out of the way
891
00:35:45,155 --> 00:35:48,535
and then he just floored it and took
off just like a bat out of hell.
892
00:35:48,605 --> 00:35:50,485
He didn't honk the horn or
anything like that, which
893
00:35:50,505 --> 00:35:51,585
probably would have startled me.
894
00:35:51,585 --> 00:35:51,754
Right?
895
00:35:51,754 --> 00:35:53,055
Because again, I didn't hear him.
896
00:35:53,115 --> 00:35:55,825
What you were describing though,
it reminds me of that scene in the
897
00:35:55,825 --> 00:35:59,495
office where Andy and Dwight are
dueling in the parking lot and Andy
898
00:35:59,665 --> 00:36:01,624
creeps up on him in the Prius, like.
899
00:36:01,695 --> 00:36:02,685
Five miles an hour.
900
00:36:02,685 --> 00:36:03,585
So you can't hear them.
901
00:36:03,635 --> 00:36:04,525
Exactly.
902
00:36:04,575 --> 00:36:07,345
I think you need to get yourself one
of those high visibility jackets,
903
00:36:07,385 --> 00:36:08,735
like the construction workers wear.
904
00:36:08,765 --> 00:36:10,375
I got a bright red backpack, man.
905
00:36:10,385 --> 00:36:10,965
You can see it.
906
00:36:11,005 --> 00:36:14,135
Those yum, yum, yellow vests and wear
that as you're going down the road.
907
00:36:14,224 --> 00:36:17,425
I'll wear the GTM media
polos from the track days.
908
00:36:17,455 --> 00:36:18,775
That is perfect.
909
00:36:19,315 --> 00:36:21,674
But there was another article,
and this is again, where I
910
00:36:21,674 --> 00:36:23,074
think big brother is listening.
911
00:36:23,114 --> 00:36:27,055
And it's a bit of a de doy moment
here, as Brad likes to say, but quicker
912
00:36:27,095 --> 00:36:29,355
EVs might lead to more accidents.
913
00:36:29,415 --> 00:36:30,664
Oh, you don't say.
914
00:36:31,060 --> 00:36:34,960
But there's one more part, Brad, and
I don't know if you put it out there
915
00:36:34,990 --> 00:36:38,940
in the world, gave me the karma, but
I'm gonna get one of those signs like
916
00:36:38,940 --> 00:36:40,350
they used to have in the factories.
917
00:36:40,710 --> 00:36:41,100
Do I still use those?
918
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:45,010
That says, X number of days since
incident, because guess what?
919
00:36:45,199 --> 00:36:46,730
The Pacifica's back in the shop.
920
00:36:46,819 --> 00:36:48,230
Oh my god, what happened?
921
00:36:48,370 --> 00:36:52,615
Well, it's been 200 days since Since
it's been in the shop, so that's seven
922
00:36:52,615 --> 00:36:54,335
months for those of you counting at home.
923
00:36:54,495 --> 00:36:58,265
I was driving it into the city like I
do every morning and I didn't warn the
924
00:36:58,265 --> 00:37:02,775
girls, but the dashboard lit up like
Times Square, all sorts of lights.
925
00:37:02,835 --> 00:37:05,934
Then a big red wrench with a
lightning bolt in the middle.
926
00:37:05,934 --> 00:37:08,894
And it says service hybrid system now.
927
00:37:08,894 --> 00:37:13,154
And I'm like, Ooh, something's
about to go seriously wrong.
928
00:37:13,214 --> 00:37:17,994
I got them dropped off and then basically
took a minute to get my thoughts together.
929
00:37:18,220 --> 00:37:21,200
Talk to my wife, like, Oh my God,
we're going to about to be down a car.
930
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:22,353
That's true.
931
00:37:22,353 --> 00:37:22,930
Yeah.
932
00:37:22,930 --> 00:37:27,199
She cannot drive for several
more weeks and I drove it
933
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,050
immediately to the dealership and
I made it their problem again.
934
00:37:30,150 --> 00:37:33,600
And this comes on the heels
of us literally talking about.
935
00:37:33,790 --> 00:37:37,470
The Pacifica and talking about the
letter that we got from Stellantis
936
00:37:37,470 --> 00:37:41,940
saying how they just put an unlimited
warranty on the hybrid system.
937
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,959
So we're taking advantage of that.
938
00:37:45,389 --> 00:37:48,200
My question is, did you
guys just get a lemon?
939
00:37:48,290 --> 00:37:51,734
Lemon law or is every single one of these?
940
00:37:51,875 --> 00:37:55,395
The dealership garage lot is just
full because everyone's is doing this.
941
00:37:55,435 --> 00:37:58,945
I don't know and I've asked the
dealer and every time I say the
942
00:37:58,945 --> 00:38:03,525
word lemon law, they look at me
again like a Cerberus from hell.
943
00:38:03,595 --> 00:38:06,005
I'm like, look, I'm not
trying to be any sort of way.
944
00:38:06,075 --> 00:38:10,115
I just want you to tell me without
having to go dig through the Oracle
945
00:38:10,115 --> 00:38:13,575
of Google to figure out what the
law is or get a lawyer involved.
946
00:38:13,575 --> 00:38:17,565
But yeah, it's been in the shop so many
times over the last couple of years.
947
00:38:17,635 --> 00:38:22,465
And it's had three going on four
transmission replacements, which by the
948
00:38:22,465 --> 00:38:26,415
way, the hybrid is in the transmission
and it's a big to do, and it's usually
949
00:38:26,415 --> 00:38:30,655
there for three weeks plus, and they
got to get a transmission from Detroit.
950
00:38:30,695 --> 00:38:34,735
What I'm hearing as of today is it
may not be a transmission problem.
951
00:38:34,745 --> 00:38:39,745
It's part of the EV coolant system,
which we've had a problem with before.
952
00:38:39,775 --> 00:38:43,355
It's not the first time with that
either where sensors go bad, or
953
00:38:43,355 --> 00:38:46,125
there was a leak on the pump,
which is inside the transmission.
954
00:38:46,125 --> 00:38:47,075
It's a whole thing, right?
955
00:38:47,290 --> 00:38:51,300
But even the lady at the dealership was
like, seriously, this is unbelievable.
956
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,370
Like she's looking at our records and
she doesn't even know what to say.
957
00:38:54,370 --> 00:38:55,600
And I'm like, thank you very much.
958
00:38:55,630 --> 00:38:56,640
What are we supposed to do?
959
00:38:56,820 --> 00:38:58,710
My wife and I had a heart
to heart about this.
960
00:38:58,740 --> 00:39:01,400
And like, we've talked about
our previous drive thrus before.
961
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,120
What do we do if the Pacifica
finally goes belly up?
962
00:39:04,189 --> 00:39:06,210
Like if it goes really pear shaped.
963
00:39:06,455 --> 00:39:11,775
Fix it, again, trade it in at the next
local Toyota dealer, and call it a day.
964
00:39:11,815 --> 00:39:12,735
Cuz I'm done.
965
00:39:12,835 --> 00:39:14,295
Unless we're gonna buy another Jeep.
966
00:39:14,325 --> 00:39:17,805
Because to me, buying a Jeep is
like buying an Audi or a Benz.
967
00:39:17,815 --> 00:39:21,404
They're more of a higher end
car now than they used to be.
968
00:39:21,445 --> 00:39:22,354
There's a lot more in them.
969
00:39:22,355 --> 00:39:23,324
There's a lot more quality.
970
00:39:23,324 --> 00:39:26,135
It's the flagship of Stellantis,
at least in the United States.
971
00:39:26,340 --> 00:39:28,990
You look at the rest of the
Chrysler fleet, it's not worth it.
972
00:39:29,030 --> 00:39:32,410
And if you look at the rest of the vans,
cause my wife wants another van, if we
973
00:39:32,410 --> 00:39:34,250
were to replace it, what do you buy?
974
00:39:34,290 --> 00:39:40,279
We've talked about the Kias, the Honda and
not buying a 62, 000 Volkswagen ID buzz.
975
00:39:40,290 --> 00:39:41,879
Like I'm not buying another Volkswagen.
976
00:39:41,879 --> 00:39:42,440
You know what I mean?
977
00:39:42,479 --> 00:39:43,220
It's a mess.
978
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:44,380
Well, I got another minivan.
979
00:39:44,430 --> 00:39:45,330
The sliding doors.
980
00:39:45,340 --> 00:39:47,180
She's hooked on the sliding doors now.
981
00:39:47,250 --> 00:39:47,610
I bet.
982
00:39:47,630 --> 00:39:49,440
The sliding doors are pretty nice.
983
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:49,670
Yeah.
984
00:39:49,670 --> 00:39:52,710
And the cargo space and
the, yeah, I get it.
985
00:39:52,810 --> 00:39:53,420
Question.
986
00:39:53,645 --> 00:39:54,655
About the Pacifica.
987
00:39:54,785 --> 00:39:56,835
All these issues that you've had.
988
00:39:56,915 --> 00:39:57,445
I love it.
989
00:39:57,445 --> 00:39:59,705
It's the best car we've ever
owned, except for all this.
990
00:39:59,755 --> 00:40:04,465
We exclude the time it bricked itself
just sitting in your garage, but all
991
00:40:04,465 --> 00:40:08,585
the other times, what is the ratio
you driving versus Jess driving?
992
00:40:08,665 --> 00:40:10,714
This is the first time
it's happened to me.
993
00:40:10,804 --> 00:40:16,125
Okay, that debunks my theory because we
have a theory like that about another GTM
994
00:40:16,125 --> 00:40:20,305
member that is really hard on vehicles
and they've had transmission issues
995
00:40:20,305 --> 00:40:21,875
and stuff with all their vehicles, too.
996
00:40:22,115 --> 00:40:26,365
And I'm glad you brought that up
because I was on pace to try to beat
997
00:40:26,415 --> 00:40:29,675
Jess's record and that's what was
super impressive about the Pacific.
998
00:40:29,675 --> 00:40:32,315
I was like, man, this thing is
torquey and blah, blah, blah.
999
00:40:32,315 --> 00:40:35,095
And you know, the way the hybrid
works and it's all electric before
1000
00:40:35,095 --> 00:40:36,774
it's gas and how far I could go.
1001
00:40:36,775 --> 00:40:40,084
There were some days I could get to
school and have like 30 percent left.
1002
00:40:40,084 --> 00:40:42,715
So I'm coming back part of the way
on electric, which was awesome.
1003
00:40:43,085 --> 00:40:45,035
I was averaging everything I was doing.
1004
00:40:45,075 --> 00:40:48,545
I hadn't put gas in it in three
weeks and I was getting 48.
1005
00:40:48,545 --> 00:40:54,045
2 miles to the gallon, cumulative average
city highway, freaking unbelievable.
1006
00:40:54,184 --> 00:40:56,064
That's better than diesel.
1007
00:40:56,115 --> 00:40:59,824
Most of the time, didn't there used
to be a saying back in the day that
1008
00:41:00,035 --> 00:41:03,645
Cars run best right before they're
going to die thousand percent.
1009
00:41:03,935 --> 00:41:05,485
So there was a foreshadowing there.
1010
00:41:05,495 --> 00:41:06,605
You put it in the world.
1011
00:41:06,645 --> 00:41:07,575
That's what you did.
1012
00:41:07,745 --> 00:41:09,265
I didn't Chrysler did.
1013
00:41:09,295 --> 00:41:11,315
Well, Chrysler put some
other stuff in the world.
1014
00:41:11,335 --> 00:41:13,415
Did you read this thing by the CEO?
1015
00:41:13,465 --> 00:41:13,955
No.
1016
00:41:13,965 --> 00:41:14,885
What did this fool do?
1017
00:41:14,934 --> 00:41:18,194
He says that the auto
industry is in survival mode.
1018
00:41:18,264 --> 00:41:19,675
That's a gross generalization.
1019
00:41:19,775 --> 00:41:23,195
Stellantis might be in survival
mode because what are you
1020
00:41:23,195 --> 00:41:24,229
selling in the United States?
1021
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:24,570
States.
1022
00:41:24,580 --> 00:41:25,920
You got rid of everything.
1023
00:41:25,970 --> 00:41:26,860
There's no challenger.
1024
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:27,870
There's no charger.
1025
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,350
There's the Pacifica,
the Jeeps, and that's it.
1026
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:32,130
What else do you sell?
1027
00:41:32,170 --> 00:41:32,820
What else do you have?
1028
00:41:32,850 --> 00:41:33,970
Cause there's no more alphas.
1029
00:41:34,119 --> 00:41:36,250
There's no more Fiat's other
than the ones that are left
1030
00:41:36,250 --> 00:41:37,520
over for the next three years.
1031
00:41:37,570 --> 00:41:40,819
And they've sold all the Dodge
darts that were remaining from 2016.
1032
00:41:40,830 --> 00:41:42,880
So what?
1033
00:41:42,965 --> 00:41:46,485
They got nothing and they brought
over the Hornet, which was a joke.
1034
00:41:46,525 --> 00:41:48,155
Like, I don't even think
they sell that anymore.
1035
00:41:48,195 --> 00:41:50,355
They actually downsized
part of the Jeep fleet.
1036
00:41:50,365 --> 00:41:53,835
There's talk of getting rid of the
manual transmission in the Gladiator,
1037
00:41:53,835 --> 00:41:55,475
which I didn't even know was an option.
1038
00:41:55,555 --> 00:41:56,735
What are you guys doing?
1039
00:41:56,854 --> 00:41:59,294
And that's where I've
lost faith in the brand.
1040
00:41:59,375 --> 00:42:02,725
I joke that Volkswagen has lost
their way, but Chrysler has been
1041
00:42:02,735 --> 00:42:04,845
lost in the desert for 40 years now.
1042
00:42:04,845 --> 00:42:06,125
Like when are they going to come home?
1043
00:42:06,315 --> 00:42:09,205
The one thing I did take away from this
article, which I thought was hilarious,
1044
00:42:09,215 --> 00:42:11,925
is some creative rebranding and marketing.
1045
00:42:11,935 --> 00:42:13,495
I'm always game for stuff like that.
1046
00:42:13,495 --> 00:42:14,305
I think it's pretty cool.
1047
00:42:14,405 --> 00:42:19,224
So according to the CEO of Stellantis,
we now have electric motors and thermal
1048
00:42:19,225 --> 00:42:21,645
motors, not internal combustion, thermal.
1049
00:42:21,915 --> 00:42:24,875
Motors, which someone pointed
out to me that steam engines
1050
00:42:24,875 --> 00:42:26,035
are also thermal engines.
1051
00:42:27,165 --> 00:42:28,805
So maybe they're going back to that.
1052
00:42:28,815 --> 00:42:29,635
Is that a Tesla?
1053
00:42:30,655 --> 00:42:32,815
Oh, we'll get to that later.
1054
00:42:32,905 --> 00:42:38,584
I mean, I can kind of see what he's saying
from like the auto industry is being
1055
00:42:38,584 --> 00:42:45,004
squeezed from both sides from a regulatory
standpoint of being forced and strongly
1056
00:42:45,004 --> 00:42:47,204
suggested to start making vehicles.
1057
00:42:47,220 --> 00:42:51,730
That do a certain 1 thing or another, and
they're trying to balance meeting those
1058
00:42:51,730 --> 00:42:56,180
regulations with also providing a product
that customers want, which they haven't
1059
00:42:56,180 --> 00:43:00,269
been able to do because the customers
and the government don't really agree.
1060
00:43:00,350 --> 00:43:01,679
And then they're stuck in the middle.
1061
00:43:01,700 --> 00:43:04,140
So I can kind of understand what he means.
1062
00:43:04,140 --> 00:43:06,739
And maybe this is, it's less
like, this isn't right now,
1063
00:43:06,740 --> 00:43:08,130
but it's like a preemptive.
1064
00:43:08,300 --> 00:43:10,470
We're heading this way
really soon kind of thing.
1065
00:43:10,510 --> 00:43:13,530
They come to the table with
something like the airflow.
1066
00:43:13,580 --> 00:43:14,000
Remember that?
1067
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,190
It was supposed to be sort of like the
Cherokee, but had the Chrysler badge.
1068
00:43:17,190 --> 00:43:18,880
It was really cool and sleek looking.
1069
00:43:19,060 --> 00:43:22,159
Develop that body shape, which
was interesting, and everybody
1070
00:43:22,159 --> 00:43:23,660
went, Oh, that's pretty cool.
1071
00:43:23,820 --> 00:43:26,320
But give me an engine package option.
1072
00:43:26,330 --> 00:43:30,640
Nobody's doing that where it's like, I
can buy a golf with an electric motor,
1073
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,720
or I can buy a golf with a two liter
turbo gas, and I can still have a golf.
1074
00:43:34,739 --> 00:43:38,650
If that's what I want, or in this
case for Stellantis, the airflow,
1075
00:43:38,710 --> 00:43:42,300
if I want to buy that, Just give me
an engine package to choose from.
1076
00:43:42,430 --> 00:43:46,480
They keep developing these crazy
cars for no reason that, to
1077
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,210
your point Brad, nobody wants.
1078
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:51,730
Stop making them weird looking,
stop making them unusable, stop
1079
00:43:51,730 --> 00:43:53,320
making them not functional.
1080
00:43:53,390 --> 00:43:57,879
And the reason people keep gravitating
towards, let's say SUVs, is because
1081
00:43:57,879 --> 00:44:02,485
they are Functional and useful and
still very drivable, but you get
1082
00:44:02,485 --> 00:44:05,365
into some of these other cars and
you're like visibility is garbage You
1083
00:44:05,365 --> 00:44:07,045
can't even get a suitcase in them.
1084
00:44:07,075 --> 00:44:11,305
You can't fit four people in them Like
why are you building this trash and then
1085
00:44:11,315 --> 00:44:13,444
the cars that we want you stop building?
1086
00:44:13,445 --> 00:44:17,024
Well, it's like just put the freaking
ev As an option and the cars that we
1087
00:44:17,024 --> 00:44:20,165
do want and then they speak out of the
other sides of their mouths And there's
1088
00:44:20,165 --> 00:44:25,315
another article still antis Blames
bad marketing for poor Maserati sales.
1089
00:44:25,405 --> 00:44:27,175
I'm like, guys, wake up.
1090
00:44:27,235 --> 00:44:28,575
How about his poor products?
1091
00:44:28,615 --> 00:44:32,855
If Maseratis were cool, which is a
stretch they haven't been for a long
1092
00:44:32,855 --> 00:44:34,805
time, more people would buy them.
1093
00:44:34,805 --> 00:44:37,375
But when you think about what
they cost, you're going to buy a
1094
00:44:37,375 --> 00:44:40,734
Ferrari if you can afford it, or
you're going to buy something else.
1095
00:44:40,895 --> 00:44:47,289
So it's like we said, if they restructured
and maybe did the highline SUVs.
1096
00:44:47,460 --> 00:44:51,220
As a Maserati, like, they built that
one for a while there, but instead it's
1097
00:44:51,220 --> 00:44:52,760
like, no, we have to have the Stelvio.
1098
00:44:52,830 --> 00:44:54,090
We have to have the Maserati version.
1099
00:44:54,090 --> 00:44:55,180
We have to have the Fiat version.
1100
00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:57,980
It's like this proliferation
of internal competition.
1101
00:44:57,980 --> 00:44:59,690
And then suddenly they go,
we can't sell anything.
1102
00:44:59,690 --> 00:45:01,060
So we're just going to stop making them.
1103
00:45:01,070 --> 00:45:03,249
I like how it's more
people would buy Maseratis.
1104
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,440
That group of people buying
Maseratis is so small, right?
1105
00:45:07,590 --> 00:45:09,960
You make it sound like more
people would buy Hondas.
1106
00:45:10,595 --> 00:45:11,885
First of all, who cares?
1107
00:45:11,925 --> 00:45:13,325
Why are they even mentioning Maserati?
1108
00:45:13,335 --> 00:45:17,375
That's such a niche market and they
should go investigate why the uber rich
1109
00:45:17,445 --> 00:45:19,075
are putting their money somewhere else.
1110
00:45:19,155 --> 00:45:19,735
Who cares?
1111
00:45:19,795 --> 00:45:22,225
Because Maserati doesn't
satisfy the uber rich.
1112
00:45:22,235 --> 00:45:25,754
Maserati is the Buick
or Oldsmobile of Italy.
1113
00:45:25,815 --> 00:45:27,674
But tries to be a Ferrari.
1114
00:45:27,695 --> 00:45:31,085
Well, Oldsmobile, Buick tries
to be a Cadillac, but it's not.
1115
00:45:31,135 --> 00:45:35,635
I'd rather have the lowest low end
Ferrari, which right now is the 296.
1116
00:45:35,650 --> 00:45:37,960
Then any high end Maserati, sorry.
1117
00:45:37,970 --> 00:45:40,600
Like if I'm going to spend that
kind of money, the Ferrari is a
1118
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,270
status symbol, not the Maserati.
1119
00:45:42,310 --> 00:45:45,920
There was another automaker that went
through something similar, making all
1120
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:50,889
these duplicate vehicles, and then
basically not selling anything because
1121
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,380
where they were competing with themselves.
1122
00:45:52,380 --> 00:45:53,110
Who was that?
1123
00:45:53,110 --> 00:45:54,119
What was that Brad?
1124
00:45:54,450 --> 00:45:55,590
That was General Motors.
1125
00:45:55,610 --> 00:45:57,110
Oh, Oh, you're right.
1126
00:45:57,370 --> 00:45:59,150
Wait, wait, or was it Ford?
1127
00:45:59,190 --> 00:45:59,740
Oh.
1128
00:45:59,990 --> 00:46:01,700
Or, or, or maybe it was Chrysler.
1129
00:46:01,700 --> 00:46:04,769
I think all the American
brands did that stupid stuff.
1130
00:46:04,770 --> 00:46:06,380
And look how it worked out for them.
1131
00:46:06,430 --> 00:46:07,810
They all needed to be bailed out.
1132
00:46:07,850 --> 00:46:12,270
I feel like Chrysler's Stallones
Stellantis It's like history
1133
00:46:12,270 --> 00:46:13,850
is doomed to repeat itself.
1134
00:46:13,860 --> 00:46:17,380
They've been with this struggle
ever since Iacocca got there in
1135
00:46:17,380 --> 00:46:19,670
the 80s, where it's like, we got
to take the government bailout.
1136
00:46:19,670 --> 00:46:20,450
We got to do this.
1137
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:21,960
We're always on the verge of bankruptcy.
1138
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,190
We got cool ideas, but
we can't execute them.
1139
00:46:24,190 --> 00:46:27,710
So we develop, instead of
something awesome, the Ares K Car.
1140
00:46:27,729 --> 00:46:28,559
You're like, come on.
1141
00:46:28,589 --> 00:46:29,429
Like, I get it.
1142
00:46:29,470 --> 00:46:31,910
But you know, the Ares
didn't save Chrysler.
1143
00:46:31,950 --> 00:46:33,160
The caravan did.
1144
00:46:33,190 --> 00:46:35,060
Because it was something people wanted.
1145
00:46:35,070 --> 00:46:35,394
It was fun.
1146
00:46:35,395 --> 00:46:38,865
functional, it was useful, and
they lasted for freaking ever.
1147
00:46:38,925 --> 00:46:42,325
I still see some of those old bread
boxes still running around, which is mind
1148
00:46:42,325 --> 00:46:44,255
blowing, those Iacocca era Chryslers.
1149
00:46:44,284 --> 00:46:47,354
But it's just like, have you
not learned anything yet?
1150
00:46:47,445 --> 00:46:48,105
Anything.
1151
00:46:48,215 --> 00:46:51,324
And because I dropped the Pacific
off at the dealership, would you
1152
00:46:51,324 --> 00:46:54,825
like to know what was sitting in
the parking lot to be purchased?
1153
00:46:54,935 --> 00:46:57,355
Ram Rebels Cherokees.
1154
00:46:57,395 --> 00:46:57,815
That's it.
1155
00:46:57,835 --> 00:46:58,675
That's all there was.
1156
00:46:58,735 --> 00:46:59,635
That's not a lot of choice.
1157
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,730
And if you want to buy a pickup
truck, we know the best selling pickup
1158
00:47:02,730 --> 00:47:05,620
truck in America is a FiberTruck
Ford F 150, so why are you bothering?
1159
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,470
You also need 50, 60, 70, 80, 90
thousand dollars to buy one too.
1160
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,669
That sort of wraps up my showcase.
1161
00:47:12,010 --> 00:47:13,150
And the show is over.
1162
00:47:13,810 --> 00:47:16,880
I do want to say you've got to
ditch your scooter and just get
1163
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:18,260
a really good set of Heelys.
1164
00:47:18,415 --> 00:47:19,115
And you'll be golden.
1165
00:47:19,185 --> 00:47:22,995
If you'd see the roads and the
sidewalks in the city, I've gotten
1166
00:47:22,995 --> 00:47:25,965
good at jumping the scooter, but
I don't think I could do Heelys.
1167
00:47:25,965 --> 00:47:28,895
Dude, there's a guy on Instagram
that he wears Heelys and he
1168
00:47:28,895 --> 00:47:30,524
does like Heelys parkour.
1169
00:47:30,525 --> 00:47:31,175
It's pretty sweet.
1170
00:47:32,135 --> 00:47:33,885
Dude, there's so many rooted sidewalks.
1171
00:47:33,925 --> 00:47:34,544
Ugh, it's awful.
1172
00:47:34,554 --> 00:47:34,964
Yeah, yeah.
1173
00:47:34,965 --> 00:47:36,894
And these, again, things I don't consider.
1174
00:47:36,945 --> 00:47:40,095
When I'm just walking or people
cut your bushes back and there's
1175
00:47:40,105 --> 00:47:41,775
not even room for a person to walk.
1176
00:47:41,845 --> 00:47:44,195
Like, why are you sticking out
three feet into the sidewalk?
1177
00:47:44,215 --> 00:47:45,944
Where's the HOA in this instance?
1178
00:47:46,034 --> 00:47:46,924
No, seriously.
1179
00:47:46,975 --> 00:47:49,664
And these are things I'm like
vehemently against usually.
1180
00:47:49,665 --> 00:47:51,034
But in this case, I'm like, you know what?
1181
00:47:51,034 --> 00:47:54,424
I understand why these rules are this way.
1182
00:47:54,504 --> 00:47:55,835
Ah, yeah.
1183
00:47:55,875 --> 00:47:59,125
See, and then you understand how
these bills get passed for noise.
1184
00:47:59,350 --> 00:48:03,140
Cameras because when it's in your
backyard, it's a problem when it's in
1185
00:48:03,150 --> 00:48:07,270
the guy's backyard 10 miles away It's
not a problem Like that guy with the go
1186
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:12,020
kart track in his backyard as we wrap up
here in honor of all these shenanigans
1187
00:48:12,030 --> 00:48:14,770
We did a special mini sewed a while back.
1188
00:48:14,780 --> 00:48:17,920
It was actually drive thru number 19 I
had to go look it up to figure it out.
1189
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:18,740
So it's been a minute.
1190
00:48:18,740 --> 00:48:20,900
30 drive throughs ago.
1191
00:48:20,990 --> 00:48:24,790
There's an extra episode that was a
complete rant about the shenanigans
1192
00:48:24,790 --> 00:48:26,150
that happen in city traffic.
1193
00:48:26,150 --> 00:48:28,070
And I tell you what, I went
back and we listened to it.
1194
00:48:28,110 --> 00:48:29,150
Nothing has changed.
1195
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:30,060
Zero.
1196
00:48:30,270 --> 00:48:33,269
So we're going to re release
that alongside of this episode.
1197
00:48:33,289 --> 00:48:36,030
So you can hear me go off about
people using their cell phones as
1198
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:37,730
sun visors and other fun things.
1199
00:48:38,010 --> 00:48:44,020
I think we need to change it Pitstop
to a PSA and we need to remarket it.
1200
00:48:44,020 --> 00:48:47,270
You know, we got to change our poor
marketing and we remarket it to this
1201
00:48:47,270 --> 00:48:48,969
is a public service announcement.
1202
00:48:49,020 --> 00:48:52,940
It's an outreach program really is we're
trying to help you all help me help you.
1203
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,760
Well, on that, let's get back to our
regularly scheduled ranting and raving.
1204
00:48:58,830 --> 00:49:03,709
Stellantis has told us that the
automotive industry is in survival mode.
1205
00:49:03,770 --> 00:49:07,759
And that might be true at
Volkswagen because reports are
1206
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,200
saying the crisis continues.
1207
00:49:10,209 --> 00:49:13,429
Since the last time we talked
about this, they might be forced
1208
00:49:13,429 --> 00:49:15,249
to close factories in Germany.
1209
00:49:15,445 --> 00:49:18,075
And wait, this just in,
factories in China too.
1210
00:49:18,105 --> 00:49:19,975
What's the name of the Chinese EV company?
1211
00:49:20,045 --> 00:49:20,665
BYD.
1212
00:49:20,735 --> 00:49:22,105
Who's going to compete against them?
1213
00:49:22,185 --> 00:49:24,535
Because it's the EV factories
that they're shutting down.
1214
00:49:24,595 --> 00:49:26,745
Because they can't compete
against Chinese EV.
1215
00:49:26,864 --> 00:49:28,685
Because nobody wants them.
1216
00:49:28,694 --> 00:49:31,154
Volkswagen bet the farm on EVs.
1217
00:49:31,340 --> 00:49:33,400
No, it's not that nobody wants an EV.
1218
00:49:33,670 --> 00:49:36,610
Nobody wants a Volkswagen's EV
when they can have the Chinese
1219
00:49:36,610 --> 00:49:39,340
BYD for 75 percent less.
1220
00:49:39,390 --> 00:49:40,270
For 25 yen.
1221
00:49:40,479 --> 00:49:41,500
Well, and that's just it.
1222
00:49:41,530 --> 00:49:45,059
We talked about the ID buzz at 62, 000.
1223
00:49:45,059 --> 00:49:46,529
How many Honda odysseys?
1224
00:49:46,595 --> 00:49:47,825
Basically two of them.
1225
00:49:47,885 --> 00:49:50,275
Can you buy for the price of that ID Buzz?
1226
00:49:50,335 --> 00:49:53,005
I would just like to say that
you cannot buy two Honda Odysseys
1227
00:49:53,055 --> 00:49:54,445
for the price of one ID Buzz.
1228
00:49:54,455 --> 00:49:58,754
The Honda Odyssey 2025
version starts at 41920 MSRP.
1229
00:49:58,785 --> 00:50:00,045
How much are they at CarMax?
1230
00:50:00,075 --> 00:50:01,594
I bet I can buy two at CarMax.
1231
00:50:01,684 --> 00:50:03,075
Okay, used.
1232
00:50:03,145 --> 00:50:05,865
Then we gotta wait to see
how much a used ID Buzz is.
1233
00:50:06,045 --> 00:50:09,545
Yeah, if you're buying used, then
you can get six Honda Odysseys.
1234
00:50:09,575 --> 00:50:14,125
Used, they're gonna cost 62, 000
because nobody's buying them.
1235
00:50:14,195 --> 00:50:17,555
I probably can get six
2005 Honda Odysseys.
1236
00:50:17,555 --> 00:50:18,405
That's what I mean.
1237
00:50:18,795 --> 00:50:19,875
How low can you go?
1238
00:50:19,955 --> 00:50:21,065
How used do you want?
1239
00:50:21,095 --> 00:50:22,874
You can buy 25 Mazda Miatas.
1240
00:50:23,515 --> 00:50:25,474
I'm gonna get a Dodge
Caravan from the early 90s.
1241
00:50:27,430 --> 00:50:28,430
It's insane.
1242
00:50:28,540 --> 00:50:29,980
Nobody wants that stuff.
1243
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,300
You want to tell me
it's because it's an EV?
1244
00:50:32,450 --> 00:50:35,560
They're pushing the ceiling
of what the market can bear.
1245
00:50:35,610 --> 00:50:40,389
And for once, the market is not
willing to bear the cost of these cars.
1246
00:50:40,409 --> 00:50:42,770
And they're either not being
made, they're not being sold,
1247
00:50:42,770 --> 00:50:43,940
or they're sitting on lots.
1248
00:50:43,989 --> 00:50:45,249
And I say, hell yeah.
1249
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,299
Vote with your wallet in this case.
1250
00:50:47,339 --> 00:50:48,439
Don't buy these cars.
1251
00:50:48,550 --> 00:50:49,640
They're ridiculous.
1252
00:50:49,690 --> 00:50:51,330
And not because they're not good.
1253
00:50:51,345 --> 00:50:53,685
Because the prices need to come down.
1254
00:50:53,745 --> 00:50:54,855
You guys get my point's?
1255
00:50:54,855 --> 00:50:56,025
That guy's name at the dealer?
1256
00:50:56,145 --> 00:50:56,685
Oh yeah.
1257
00:50:56,685 --> 00:50:57,885
You're talking about Chuck led duck?
1258
00:50:57,885 --> 00:50:58,065
Yeah.
1259
00:50:58,485 --> 00:50:59,025
. Chuck LED duck.
1260
00:50:59,025 --> 00:50:59,445
Yeah.
1261
00:50:59,745 --> 00:51:00,885
I still get emails from him.
1262
00:51:00,975 --> 00:51:01,515
Oh shoot.
1263
00:51:01,515 --> 00:51:03,105
There's an article here about BMW.
1264
00:51:03,105 --> 00:51:08,625
Apparently maybe we're in for some new
BM BMW stylings as they're seem to be
1265
00:51:08,625 --> 00:51:11,175
replacing their chief people in charge.
1266
00:51:11,220 --> 00:51:11,510
Okay.
1267
00:51:11,535 --> 00:51:12,735
Define styling.
1268
00:51:12,765 --> 00:51:17,230
Changing the grills back to what they
were before is not changing the styling.
1269
00:51:18,380 --> 00:51:20,220
It would be a step in the right direction.
1270
00:51:20,340 --> 00:51:21,860
I don't disagree with that.
1271
00:51:21,870 --> 00:51:25,110
For anyone who liked the Z4, apparently
they're bringing that guy back.
1272
00:51:25,180 --> 00:51:26,529
I do like the Z4.
1273
00:51:26,530 --> 00:51:28,720
It's one of the few BMWs I do like.
1274
00:51:28,730 --> 00:51:32,269
Well then maybe there will be
a style change that you like,
1275
00:51:32,300 --> 00:51:35,849
because the guy that designed that
one is coming back apparently.
1276
00:51:35,909 --> 00:51:38,020
Will they all be as ugly as the Z4?
1277
00:51:38,050 --> 00:51:39,700
Well now you just spoke out
of both sides of your mouth.
1278
00:51:39,710 --> 00:51:40,240
No!
1279
00:51:40,475 --> 00:51:41,355
I said I liked it.
1280
00:51:41,405 --> 00:51:45,185
It's sort of like that scrappy junkyard
pound puppy and you're like, he's so ugly.
1281
00:51:45,185 --> 00:51:45,705
He's cute.
1282
00:51:45,775 --> 00:51:46,165
Okay.
1283
00:51:46,225 --> 00:51:47,025
That's the Z4.
1284
00:51:47,035 --> 00:51:48,285
You're like, it's so ugly.
1285
00:51:48,285 --> 00:51:49,385
It's kind of nice.
1286
00:51:49,484 --> 00:51:49,905
I like it.
1287
00:51:49,935 --> 00:51:55,455
Time will tell what changes we might
see exterior, et cetera, on future BMWs.
1288
00:51:55,495 --> 00:51:56,585
I'll believe it when I see it.
1289
00:51:56,625 --> 00:51:57,495
I just like his name.
1290
00:51:57,535 --> 00:51:57,915
Who he don't.
1291
00:51:58,825 --> 00:52:01,005
He develops the donks over at BMW.
1292
00:52:01,075 --> 00:52:01,855
Donks like a truck.
1293
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:02,690
Chuck, Chuck.
1294
00:52:02,740 --> 00:52:03,730
Double dubs, baby.
1295
00:52:03,780 --> 00:52:07,580
For the record, the more and
more I see the BMW M models
1296
00:52:07,580 --> 00:52:09,180
with that giant front grill.
1297
00:52:09,240 --> 00:52:09,890
Don't tell me.
1298
00:52:09,930 --> 00:52:10,699
The more I like it.
1299
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:11,710
The more you like it?
1300
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:12,590
The more I like it.
1301
00:52:12,639 --> 00:52:14,930
Have you seen them at
night when they light up?
1302
00:52:15,110 --> 00:52:16,679
They're atrocious.
1303
00:52:16,769 --> 00:52:18,289
I cannot say I've seen it at night.
1304
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:19,330
You need to get out more.
1305
00:52:19,369 --> 00:52:20,129
Come at me, bro.
1306
00:52:20,209 --> 00:52:20,889
Where am I gonna go?
1307
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:21,720
I go to daycare.
1308
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:22,824
Daycare is during the day.
1309
00:52:23,725 --> 00:52:29,215
My wife's doctor has an M2 competition,
black on triple black with the seats,
1310
00:52:29,215 --> 00:52:32,004
with the BMW motorsport stitched leather.
1311
00:52:32,004 --> 00:52:36,975
And it probably says M like 50, 000
places when it's an M2 competition.
1312
00:52:36,975 --> 00:52:39,335
I mean, this thing is legit awesome.
1313
00:52:39,384 --> 00:52:42,355
And I don't say that about a lot
of BMWs, but I was like, dude,
1314
00:52:42,375 --> 00:52:44,065
that's a really, really nice car.
1315
00:52:44,075 --> 00:52:45,095
That is pretty cool.
1316
00:52:45,105 --> 00:52:46,335
So good on him.
1317
00:52:46,410 --> 00:52:49,570
But again, there's very few and far
between BMWs I can say that about.
1318
00:52:49,620 --> 00:52:51,440
Oh, it also has a normal size grill.
1319
00:52:51,470 --> 00:52:52,750
The M2 has a normal size grill.
1320
00:52:52,790 --> 00:52:54,010
Yeah, that's why it looks good.
1321
00:52:54,110 --> 00:52:57,600
That's why even if all they did is go
back to normal size grills, it would
1322
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:58,730
be a step in the right direction.
1323
00:52:58,860 --> 00:52:59,959
More of that marketing nonsense.
1324
00:52:59,959 --> 00:53:00,880
It's like thermal motors.
1325
00:53:00,959 --> 00:53:01,159
Buzzwords.
1326
00:53:01,610 --> 00:53:02,250
Synergy.
1327
00:53:02,350 --> 00:53:03,060
We have synergy.
1328
00:53:03,470 --> 00:53:08,480
Well, moving into domestic news, General
Motors at the cutting edge of 10 years
1329
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,170
ago, the cutting edge of failure.
1330
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:12,710
I don't know.
1331
00:53:12,710 --> 00:53:13,760
Is it 10 years ago?
1332
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:18,060
Because Tesla only very recently
started opening up its charger network
1333
00:53:18,060 --> 00:53:20,029
to non Tesla manufacturers, right?
1334
00:53:20,069 --> 00:53:20,579
Yeah.
1335
00:53:20,610 --> 00:53:22,960
I feel like they are
first to market on this.
1336
00:53:22,990 --> 00:53:24,390
Well, Ford's already doing it.
1337
00:53:24,410 --> 00:53:26,450
They got access to the network.
1338
00:53:26,625 --> 00:53:29,838
But what I don't understand is when you
pull up with your Hummer EV and charge
1339
00:53:29,838 --> 00:53:32,595
of the Tesla network, how does that work?
1340
00:53:32,595 --> 00:53:34,115
Do you get a Tesla subscription?
1341
00:53:34,125 --> 00:53:36,334
Like, I understand the
Electrify America thing.
1342
00:53:36,365 --> 00:53:38,585
Well, I think you pay at
the quote unquote pump.
1343
00:53:38,695 --> 00:53:42,394
I've seen that with other systems,
which is super awesome at places
1344
00:53:42,394 --> 00:53:45,075
like Ikea, where they have that
you can park right up front.
1345
00:53:45,290 --> 00:53:51,800
And it is relatively inexpensive, but
it is a 225 uplift to get this adapter
1346
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,129
so you can use the Tesla chargers.
1347
00:53:54,180 --> 00:53:56,499
Yeah, and Ford gave away
their adapter for free.
1348
00:53:56,570 --> 00:53:58,370
Beginning, I think they're
gonna start charging.
1349
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:02,690
Why can't we just develop better charging
stations and put Elon out of business?
1350
00:54:02,720 --> 00:54:06,860
Why can't we just develop better
technology for everybody to use for free?
1351
00:54:06,900 --> 00:54:08,850
Why do you have to curse
in church all the time?
1352
00:54:09,110 --> 00:54:14,890
Uh, You want to give a mass group
of people something for free for
1353
00:54:14,890 --> 00:54:17,140
the general benefit of society.
1354
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:18,020
What country are you in?
1355
00:54:19,430 --> 00:54:21,980
That was the premise
of the movie The Saint.
1356
00:54:22,010 --> 00:54:23,310
Remember that free energy?
1357
00:54:23,340 --> 00:54:24,300
Yeah, cold fusion.
1358
00:54:24,300 --> 00:54:24,410
Yeah.
1359
00:54:24,550 --> 00:54:25,559
He drove a Volvo.
1360
00:54:25,580 --> 00:54:26,600
I just want to point that out.
1361
00:54:26,829 --> 00:54:27,190
He did.
1362
00:54:27,190 --> 00:54:27,519
He did.
1363
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:31,520
I don't have a problem with it
costing 225 when they're selling it to
1364
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,120
people that bought a 130, 000 Hummer.
1365
00:54:34,180 --> 00:54:38,760
I have a problem with it costing 225
because Ford's giving it away for free.
1366
00:54:38,779 --> 00:54:40,290
Ford gave it away.
1367
00:54:40,310 --> 00:54:41,629
Ford is a better company.
1368
00:54:41,659 --> 00:54:44,430
But apparently they're not free anymore.
1369
00:54:44,510 --> 00:54:46,750
Because GM started to charge for them.
1370
00:54:47,015 --> 00:54:48,295
It's all tit for tat.
1371
00:54:48,325 --> 00:54:51,555
Well, no, cause if GM just started
this Ford said that after June
1372
00:54:51,555 --> 00:54:54,035
30 of this year, it would be 230.
1373
00:54:54,045 --> 00:54:56,715
So look, GM just beat them by 5.
1374
00:54:58,755 --> 00:54:59,415
230.
1375
00:54:59,415 --> 00:55:02,095
I'm selling mine for 229, Bob, 229.
1376
00:55:02,165 --> 00:55:04,745
You can take that extra 5, go to Subway.
1377
00:55:04,830 --> 00:55:08,750
And get an 8 footlong and you're
still out of pocket, but you
1378
00:55:08,750 --> 00:55:10,630
can't charge outside the subway.
1379
00:55:10,700 --> 00:55:14,240
That's like the people that get a coupon
and they're like, look, I'm saving money.
1380
00:55:14,260 --> 00:55:16,350
No, you spent 500.
1381
00:55:16,359 --> 00:55:18,499
Yeah, but I would have spent seven 50.
1382
00:55:18,530 --> 00:55:20,450
I saved 250.
1383
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:21,599
No, you didn't.
1384
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:26,140
You spent 500.
1385
00:55:26,170 --> 00:55:27,260
Oh, look at your bank account.
1386
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,140
You know, the marketing term for that is.
1387
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:29,950
Spaving.
1388
00:55:30,100 --> 00:55:31,260
Spending and saving.
1389
00:55:31,260 --> 00:55:31,810
Spaving.
1390
00:55:31,950 --> 00:55:36,110
All right, let's switch gears and talk
about Japanese and Asian domestic news.
1391
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:37,380
Do we actually have news?
1392
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:38,220
We do!
1393
00:55:38,260 --> 00:55:41,660
It has nothing to do with America, which
makes it completely awesome, and it really
1394
00:55:41,660 --> 00:55:44,939
has nothing to do with the car that's
going to exist, either, because we've
1395
00:55:44,979 --> 00:55:49,520
talked before about how the Supra is
going away, and we're all very saddened
1396
00:55:49,530 --> 00:55:53,230
by this weird four cylinder one that
nobody's going to be brokenhearted about.
1397
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:58,115
The Australians, never to be
outdone, say Here, hold my fosters.
1398
00:55:58,175 --> 00:55:59,565
That's Australian for beer.
1399
00:55:59,815 --> 00:56:03,434
They're doing V8 supercars, Supras.
1400
00:56:03,435 --> 00:56:06,335
So first of all, I think this
article is clickbait because I saw
1401
00:56:06,385 --> 00:56:08,345
Toyota Supra gains a V8 engine.
1402
00:56:08,425 --> 00:56:11,175
And I'm like, we'll go
racing in Australia.
1403
00:56:11,215 --> 00:56:14,894
Oh, only the supercar championship
cars will have the V8.
1404
00:56:14,955 --> 00:56:16,805
They're not going to
sell any on the street.
1405
00:56:16,955 --> 00:56:19,175
Like there's not going to
be any for consumption.
1406
00:56:19,225 --> 00:56:25,825
And what gets me about this is
Supra or Lexus, R C L C, whatever
1407
00:56:25,835 --> 00:56:27,495
the heck they are, F Sport.
1408
00:56:27,555 --> 00:56:29,525
Those Lexus LC coupes are awesome.
1409
00:56:29,665 --> 00:56:30,105
Right?
1410
00:56:30,155 --> 00:56:31,375
They sound amazing.
1411
00:56:31,385 --> 00:56:35,715
Why not just use the ones that are
an IMSA that are like 100 years old?
1412
00:56:35,784 --> 00:56:37,215
Isn't that like the same thing?
1413
00:56:37,255 --> 00:56:38,015
Super's lighter.
1414
00:56:38,034 --> 00:56:38,424
Sort of.
1415
00:56:38,435 --> 00:56:39,664
Smaller is lighter.
1416
00:56:39,745 --> 00:56:42,494
Maybe there's an issue where they can't
use the car that's already in production.
1417
00:56:42,494 --> 00:56:44,815
What it means, and it's
probably already been done.
1418
00:56:45,035 --> 00:56:48,805
LS swap all the Supras now because
you know a V8 fits up there.
1419
00:56:48,845 --> 00:56:51,415
They've been putting
V8s in Furs and Burrs.
1420
00:56:51,415 --> 00:56:55,055
There's a guy running around on
Instagram with a Ferrari V8 in his Furs.
1421
00:56:55,085 --> 00:56:56,575
Yeah, it doesn't fit right though.
1422
00:56:56,625 --> 00:57:00,364
But this isn't the first time
they did this down in Australia.
1423
00:57:00,425 --> 00:57:02,044
Do you remember the V8 Ultima?
1424
00:57:02,104 --> 00:57:02,434
No.
1425
00:57:02,504 --> 00:57:05,905
And I wondered what do we call this one?
1426
00:57:05,905 --> 00:57:08,215
You know, we have the Taltima all that.
1427
00:57:08,245 --> 00:57:09,465
You guys got any creative names?
1428
00:57:09,475 --> 00:57:10,375
Because I came up with one.
1429
00:57:10,635 --> 00:57:11,745
This is the Baltima.
1430
00:57:11,774 --> 00:57:12,785
Got balls tima.
1431
00:57:12,785 --> 00:57:13,774
Baltima.
1432
00:57:13,945 --> 00:57:14,525
That's awesome.
1433
00:57:14,545 --> 00:57:16,055
But that's old news.
1434
00:57:16,145 --> 00:57:18,005
We got to move on to some new news.
1435
00:57:18,055 --> 00:57:19,845
Random EVs and concept cars.
1436
00:57:19,895 --> 00:57:23,525
My wife, who has ample free
time now because she can't
1437
00:57:23,525 --> 00:57:25,045
really go anywhere, do anything.
1438
00:57:25,045 --> 00:57:29,124
So she's been trolling and doom scrolling
on Instagram and sent me this one
1439
00:57:29,145 --> 00:57:31,095
knowing that I love some French cars.
1440
00:57:31,195 --> 00:57:38,974
Have you guys seen this Renault rendering
of the, call it Resto Mod, R17 EV?
1441
00:57:38,975 --> 00:57:39,355
Very neat.
1442
00:57:39,405 --> 00:57:41,055
I love this.
1443
00:57:41,115 --> 00:57:42,745
It's very Mad Max to me.
1444
00:57:42,794 --> 00:57:45,865
Not a fan of this brown color, but
you know, that could be changed.
1445
00:57:45,914 --> 00:57:47,024
I love the color.
1446
00:57:47,055 --> 00:57:47,785
Brown is back.
1447
00:57:47,795 --> 00:57:50,854
Did you look at the original one
to compare it to what they did?
1448
00:57:50,854 --> 00:57:54,006
I think they did a really
good job of pulling the design
1449
00:57:54,006 --> 00:57:56,105
language of a 1970s Ford.
1450
00:57:56,195 --> 00:57:58,665
French coupe into the modern era.
1451
00:57:58,675 --> 00:57:59,915
I think it looks really, really cool.
1452
00:57:59,955 --> 00:58:00,615
It'll never get made.
1453
00:58:00,625 --> 00:58:01,175
Of course not.
1454
00:58:01,175 --> 00:58:05,305
Because anything awesome never gets made
or it'll get made and we'll never see it.
1455
00:58:05,355 --> 00:58:07,245
Oh, we'll never see it for sure.
1456
00:58:07,275 --> 00:58:09,474
Throw a Nissan badge on it
and call it something else.
1457
00:58:09,655 --> 00:58:13,465
Meanwhile, we talk about the auto
industry being in survival mode.
1458
00:58:13,545 --> 00:58:18,194
There are some people that are taking
themselves off of Survivor Island.
1459
00:58:18,234 --> 00:58:20,874
This is just another manufacturer that's.
1460
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:25,130
Joining the bandwagon of not
going full electric anymore.
1461
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:28,760
So Volvo is saying that they're
going to ditch their previous plans
1462
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:30,990
to sell only electric cars by 2030.
1463
00:58:31,570 --> 00:58:35,980
Because again, we're seeing this
decrease in demand for electric
1464
00:58:36,039 --> 00:58:37,420
battery powered vehicles.
1465
00:58:37,460 --> 00:58:40,170
We pulled the rubber
band as far as it can go.
1466
00:58:40,239 --> 00:58:42,549
It's just coming right
back to where it was.
1467
00:58:42,659 --> 00:58:44,249
People got real optimistic.
1468
00:58:44,249 --> 00:58:45,969
They said, you know what, let's do it.
1469
00:58:45,969 --> 00:58:46,959
Let's run with it.
1470
00:58:47,069 --> 00:58:50,110
And then it was like,
let's see how this goes.
1471
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:54,810
It's not going how they forecasted, so
they're popping the brakes, so to speak.
1472
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:58,010
So do you think they feel
silly divesting Polestar?
1473
00:58:58,050 --> 00:59:00,840
Do they feel silly not
being 100 percent Swedish?
1474
00:59:00,870 --> 00:59:02,020
Well, there's that too.
1475
00:59:02,090 --> 00:59:04,230
Could that be part of the problem as well?
1476
00:59:04,269 --> 00:59:07,119
Because of the huge tariffs
that have been imposed upon the
1477
00:59:07,119 --> 00:59:10,179
Chinese imports to basically keep
them out of the United States.
1478
00:59:10,179 --> 00:59:11,030
Probably not helping.
1479
00:59:11,070 --> 00:59:12,780
That's what's happening
to Lotus right now.
1480
00:59:12,780 --> 00:59:17,834
The cost of their new EV, the
Elettra, has jumped to 230, 000.
1481
00:59:17,925 --> 00:59:20,775
Because it's another Chinese
owned legacy manufacturer.
1482
00:59:20,885 --> 00:59:21,495
Not going to help.
1483
00:59:21,525 --> 00:59:22,595
What are we afraid of?
1484
00:59:22,595 --> 00:59:24,145
I guess that's my bigger question.
1485
00:59:24,175 --> 00:59:24,665
What do you mean?
1486
00:59:24,705 --> 00:59:27,885
Why can't we allow BYD
to build the cars here?
1487
00:59:27,885 --> 00:59:29,904
Everything else we outsourced to China.
1488
00:59:30,585 --> 00:59:31,765
That's for a different podcast.
1489
00:59:31,865 --> 00:59:32,825
Oh, okay.
1490
00:59:32,855 --> 00:59:33,245
All right.
1491
00:59:33,264 --> 00:59:34,494
That's a totally different discussion.
1492
00:59:36,505 --> 00:59:38,435
That's a battle that the
lobbyists are fighting.
1493
00:59:38,515 --> 00:59:39,895
I'll leave that where it sits.
1494
00:59:40,295 --> 00:59:42,705
I mean, if you can tell me the
difference between a Tesla three
1495
00:59:42,705 --> 00:59:46,155
and a BYD, it's the same difference
between a Sorni and a magnet box.
1496
00:59:46,205 --> 00:59:47,275
That's Sorni.
1497
00:59:47,955 --> 00:59:50,245
I'm not sure if there's a
Home Depot in China or not.
1498
00:59:53,555 --> 00:59:56,724
And speaking of Polestar being
divested, this one made me think
1499
00:59:56,755 --> 00:59:59,464
two if by land and one if by sea.
1500
01:00:00,690 --> 01:00:03,510
Because Polestar is gonna
make electric boats!
1501
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,940
Because we know how well water
and electricity go together.
1502
01:00:07,530 --> 01:00:09,090
Why is this boat flying?
1503
01:00:09,170 --> 01:00:10,380
It's a hydrofoil.
1504
01:00:10,460 --> 01:00:15,170
They do go together because when the
batteries go off in a chain reaction
1505
01:00:15,170 --> 01:00:19,899
to burn, you need an ocean of water
to put them out, so it's perfect.
1506
01:00:20,149 --> 01:00:20,669
Sink it.
1507
01:00:20,739 --> 01:00:20,999
Done.
1508
01:00:21,495 --> 01:00:25,805
I don't know that this is the first
electric boat or thing of this type.
1509
01:00:25,805 --> 01:00:29,855
I remember meeting the gentleman
from Von Mercier and they were
1510
01:00:29,855 --> 01:00:34,465
developing an EV hovercraft, and
that was a couple of years ago now.
1511
01:00:34,615 --> 01:00:36,705
I've heard of EV airplanes.
1512
01:00:36,745 --> 01:00:39,274
Again, this was the next
logical conclusion, I suppose.
1513
01:00:39,274 --> 01:00:42,805
I just didn't think Polestar was going
to be the one to do it, but hey, send it.
1514
01:00:42,995 --> 01:00:47,085
Speaking of going for it, Brad,
we need to turn to lost and found.
1515
01:00:47,275 --> 01:00:48,595
I found something for you.
1516
01:00:48,810 --> 01:00:52,350
I know it's one of your favorite
BMWs, speaking of BMW earlier,
1517
01:00:52,350 --> 01:00:57,699
this is the chassis hand built
by God himself, the E39 M5.
1518
01:00:57,700 --> 01:00:58,090
Yep.
1519
01:00:58,110 --> 01:01:01,949
But is that 280, 000 worth of yep?
1520
01:01:01,990 --> 01:01:02,440
Nope.
1521
01:01:03,620 --> 01:01:11,030
Because the chassis hand built by God
has a very, very close cousin in the
1522
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:17,675
Chevrolet formerly Holden SS sedan,
which, when it first came out, Drew very
1523
01:01:17,725 --> 01:01:22,725
similar comparisons to the E39 M5 during
road tests and everything like that.
1524
01:01:22,725 --> 01:01:28,765
So do I pay 280, 000 for this car
or do I pay 40 or 50 for that car?
1525
01:01:28,855 --> 01:01:31,085
I'm going to pay 40 or 50 for that car.
1526
01:01:31,135 --> 01:01:33,455
And that LS sounds
better than this BMW V8.
1527
01:01:33,514 --> 01:01:36,475
And it'll cost you a lot
less to run over time.
1528
01:01:36,505 --> 01:01:40,745
But this one has 633 miles
and it's in Dakar yellow.
1529
01:01:40,745 --> 01:01:41,975
Can you get your SS in that?
1530
01:01:42,055 --> 01:01:45,145
I can puke this color all
over my SS if I want to.
1531
01:01:45,175 --> 01:01:47,055
You know, there's Fans of this color.
1532
01:01:47,065 --> 01:01:48,235
There's people that love this.
1533
01:01:48,275 --> 01:01:50,005
I'm not a big fan of yellow cars.
1534
01:01:50,005 --> 01:01:51,345
I mean, it's just not my thing.
1535
01:01:51,405 --> 01:01:55,595
And I know here comes a joke about the
Aztec, but let's let sleeping dogs lie.
1536
01:01:55,625 --> 01:01:56,485
You said it to me.
1537
01:01:56,535 --> 01:01:58,175
I love these M fives though.
1538
01:01:58,205 --> 01:01:59,934
They are fantastic.
1539
01:01:59,934 --> 01:02:03,245
I actually thought about buying
one of these, not a V8, a.
1540
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:07,350
Three and a half liter six to run
at the track instead of an E36
1541
01:02:07,350 --> 01:02:09,380
M3 and I regret not doing that.
1542
01:02:09,430 --> 01:02:12,990
I almost bought a 540i
with the smaller V8.
1543
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:17,729
I had check in hand at CarMax ready
to buy it and somebody in my journey
1544
01:02:17,730 --> 01:02:22,399
from home to CarMax put it on
dealer transfer and I didn't get it.
1545
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:23,880
They refused to sell it to me.
1546
01:02:24,050 --> 01:02:25,530
And I was very distraught.
1547
01:02:25,630 --> 01:02:26,900
I probably would still have that car.
1548
01:02:26,910 --> 01:02:28,230
So I love the car.
1549
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:29,030
I don't love it.
1550
01:02:29,030 --> 01:02:30,490
280, 000 worth though.
1551
01:02:30,540 --> 01:02:34,270
Every time I look at these,
it's a beautiful blend of
1552
01:02:34,380 --> 01:02:37,589
E36 styling and E46 styling.
1553
01:02:37,610 --> 01:02:42,669
It like sits in between and it has
these cues and these certain features.
1554
01:02:42,699 --> 01:02:44,550
They just still look good today.
1555
01:02:44,550 --> 01:02:47,990
It's one of the few, let's say
20 plus year old BMWs Still
1556
01:02:47,990 --> 01:02:49,300
looks really, really awesome.
1557
01:02:49,310 --> 01:02:53,550
So God bless whoever buys this,
but yeah, there's a lot of
1558
01:02:53,550 --> 01:02:55,360
cars you can buy for 280 grand.
1559
01:02:55,860 --> 01:03:01,150
Well, Tanya, we would be remiss if
we didn't talk about the great Tesla.
1560
01:03:04,949 --> 01:03:06,860
We finally have, yes.
1561
01:03:07,330 --> 01:03:07,900
Possibly.
1562
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:09,860
Vindication!
1563
01:03:09,950 --> 01:03:10,980
Are you happy now?
1564
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:15,440
I busted out in a small laugh
towards the end of this article.
1565
01:03:15,450 --> 01:03:20,610
So there's an article about how Tesla
has now deleted its blog postings, any
1566
01:03:20,610 --> 01:03:24,720
mention of postings where it said that
their cars have self driving hardware.
1567
01:03:26,490 --> 01:03:27,680
How curious.
1568
01:03:28,715 --> 01:03:33,145
The better part is, that made me laugh,
is they touted this whole time that
1569
01:03:33,275 --> 01:03:39,855
they have fully autonomous, full self
driving, duh, duh, blah, blah, except
1570
01:03:39,895 --> 01:03:41,475
they have yet to prove that it's capable.
1571
01:03:41,485 --> 01:03:44,475
Nobody has been able to prove
that it's capable without some
1572
01:03:44,475 --> 01:03:45,895
sort of adult supervision.
1573
01:03:46,075 --> 01:03:47,135
This is awesome.
1574
01:03:47,265 --> 01:03:51,515
Tesla is now calling the system
FSD, which is the full self driving.
1575
01:03:51,685 --> 01:03:52,644
FSD, FSD, FSD.
1576
01:03:54,015 --> 01:03:55,215
Isn't that just called driving?
1577
01:03:55,215 --> 01:03:59,035
I mean, this is like thermal motors.
1578
01:03:59,055 --> 01:04:00,235
I mean, here we go again.
1579
01:04:00,595 --> 01:04:01,985
It's like contradiction.
1580
01:04:02,015 --> 01:04:03,035
Full self driving.
1581
01:04:03,105 --> 01:04:03,805
Supervised.
1582
01:04:03,865 --> 01:04:05,095
So it's not full self driving.
1583
01:04:05,095 --> 01:04:08,795
But it's not supervised full self
driving because if you change the
1584
01:04:08,795 --> 01:04:12,035
subject predicate noun agreement,
then it actually changes the
1585
01:04:12,075 --> 01:04:13,605
connotation of what they're saying.
1586
01:04:13,685 --> 01:04:17,315
I wonder what the legal implication
of this order of the words is.
1587
01:04:17,470 --> 01:04:22,410
What about full supervised self driving
or full self supervised driving?
1588
01:04:22,490 --> 01:04:23,190
Bullshit driving.
1589
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:27,370
This just goes along with the people
can identify as whatever they want.
1590
01:04:27,370 --> 01:04:28,820
I can identify as a chair.
1591
01:04:28,890 --> 01:04:31,890
Eric can identify as a car
with working taillights.
1592
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:36,150
Tesla's cars can identify
as full self driving.
1593
01:04:36,190 --> 01:04:37,660
That is the world in which we live.
1594
01:04:37,950 --> 01:04:40,050
There doesn't have to be
any truth behind any of it.
1595
01:04:40,140 --> 01:04:40,930
Wow.
1596
01:04:40,930 --> 01:04:46,830
When you say it, I identify
as a czar of a remote country
1597
01:04:46,900 --> 01:04:47,930
that I just don't get to visit.
1598
01:04:48,780 --> 01:04:50,430
King of India, over there.
1599
01:04:50,500 --> 01:04:51,930
What would your country be called?
1600
01:04:51,980 --> 01:04:52,630
Portlandian.
1601
01:04:52,630 --> 01:04:58,080
I think Fred Armisen might have
something to say about that.
1602
01:04:58,120 --> 01:04:59,020
Yes, yes.
1603
01:04:59,470 --> 01:05:00,870
Oh, he's my vice czar.
1604
01:05:01,090 --> 01:05:01,620
Nice shot.
1605
01:05:01,785 --> 01:05:03,365
So there's still more Tesla.
1606
01:05:03,395 --> 01:05:04,825
This one's even better.
1607
01:05:04,915 --> 01:05:05,555
There's more Tesla news.
1608
01:05:06,135 --> 01:05:06,975
It's unreal.
1609
01:05:07,005 --> 01:05:08,375
It's about the Cybertruck.
1610
01:05:08,395 --> 01:05:11,925
Oh, something we haven't talked
about much this year at all.
1611
01:05:11,975 --> 01:05:14,435
Because the Cybertruck is without fault.
1612
01:05:14,655 --> 01:05:16,705
Oh, it is infallible.
1613
01:05:16,785 --> 01:05:20,675
Like anything Elon touches is A turd.
1614
01:05:20,875 --> 01:05:22,735
Meets the expectations.
1615
01:05:22,795 --> 01:05:25,485
is totally in line with the promises.
1616
01:05:25,535 --> 01:05:26,775
I'll say again, a turd.
1617
01:05:26,835 --> 01:05:30,945
Works to the utmost degree,
like a freaking Swiss timepiece.
1618
01:05:30,965 --> 01:05:32,485
That's how well these things work.
1619
01:05:32,505 --> 01:05:34,645
So recall the windows, right?
1620
01:05:34,665 --> 01:05:36,665
Back however many years ago it was now.
1621
01:05:37,445 --> 01:05:38,225
The baseball.
1622
01:05:38,715 --> 01:05:42,375
Oh, they're, you know, armor
plate glass that can withstain
1623
01:05:42,985 --> 01:05:44,355
bullets, blah, blah, blah.
1624
01:05:44,365 --> 01:05:48,805
I'll show you by lobbing this
baseball at it with my untrained,
1625
01:05:48,815 --> 01:05:50,845
unprofessional slow ball.
1626
01:05:51,105 --> 01:05:51,765
shatter.
1627
01:05:52,375 --> 01:05:53,635
Oh, it was a fluke.
1628
01:05:53,655 --> 01:05:57,065
It was this and the other, you
know, this is still the prototype,
1629
01:05:57,075 --> 01:05:58,094
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
1630
01:05:58,095 --> 01:06:03,745
So then why now that we're in production
with 3, 000 of these or whatever the
1631
01:06:03,745 --> 01:06:06,315
production rate is, 11, 000 were recalled.
1632
01:06:06,385 --> 01:06:10,155
That's right, we did say it was
11, 000, so good job, they're
1633
01:06:10,155 --> 01:06:11,265
all in the parking lot somewhere.
1634
01:06:11,345 --> 01:06:13,985
This is probably going to be
another recall, maybe, I don't know.
1635
01:06:14,035 --> 01:06:17,705
At any rate, some poor individual
who spent 100, 000 on this
1636
01:06:17,705 --> 01:06:19,445
car, left it parked wherever.
1637
01:06:19,515 --> 01:06:23,315
And the impenetrable, unsinkable
cyber truck, heard that one before.
1638
01:06:23,365 --> 01:06:24,485
It's like the Titanic.
1639
01:06:24,575 --> 01:06:26,265
With its shatterproof glass.
1640
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:31,030
The thief rolled up to it, tried
back the window a little bit.
1641
01:06:31,140 --> 01:06:33,440
Because it's frameless,
I want to point it out.
1642
01:06:33,490 --> 01:06:36,120
So this would happen with
any car with a frameless.
1643
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,870
Yes, so we won't fault the frameless part.
1644
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:40,590
I'm not faulting the frameless part.
1645
01:06:40,700 --> 01:06:41,780
It's a lack of notification.
1646
01:06:41,820 --> 01:06:44,820
Well, I don't even fault that
because honestly, if you jimmy a
1647
01:06:44,820 --> 01:06:47,820
little bit, I don't think anyone's
cars are that sensitive that.
1648
01:06:48,010 --> 01:06:52,220
They're going to sound the alarm yet,
but the shattered window, did this window
1649
01:06:52,220 --> 01:06:54,760
shatter because the window peeled back
1650
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:58,170
like an onion layer.
1651
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:02,930
And so people are up in arms
about how to your point, there
1652
01:07:02,930 --> 01:07:04,440
was no alarm notification.
1653
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:06,270
I wasn't told my car was being robbed.
1654
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:07,380
The alarm didn't go off.
1655
01:07:07,550 --> 01:07:10,870
What alarms going off this thing
like rolled up like a paper towel.
1656
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:12,850
It didn't even know the window was open.
1657
01:07:12,930 --> 01:07:14,760
Where's the sensor airflow.
1658
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:18,100
Suddenly the air current changed into the
vehicle, but it was the door wasn't open.
1659
01:07:18,100 --> 01:07:18,250
That's.
1660
01:07:18,355 --> 01:07:18,885
The sensor.
1661
01:07:18,885 --> 01:07:19,455
I don't know.
1662
01:07:20,155 --> 01:07:22,535
Is it worth saying that the
thief was in a Nissan Ultima?
1663
01:07:22,585 --> 01:07:23,025
Yes.
1664
01:07:23,115 --> 01:07:24,085
Oh, no.
1665
01:07:24,165 --> 01:07:25,485
Are you serious?
1666
01:07:25,585 --> 01:07:26,005
Yeah.
1667
01:07:28,315 --> 01:07:32,215
But the picture of this peeled
down window is just wild.
1668
01:07:32,285 --> 01:07:33,315
Wild.
1669
01:07:34,875 --> 01:07:36,715
You wouldn't be able to
do that on any other.
1670
01:07:36,885 --> 01:07:37,255
No.
1671
01:07:37,255 --> 01:07:40,275
And I think it has to do with
the fact that it's safety glass.
1672
01:07:40,285 --> 01:07:41,545
So it has that coating on it.
1673
01:07:41,545 --> 01:07:43,335
So it's not supposed to
shatter and all that.
1674
01:07:43,395 --> 01:07:46,815
But in thinking about previous Teslas
that I've been in, remember, I told you
1675
01:07:46,815 --> 01:07:48,535
guys that story about when I was in Tampa.
1676
01:07:48,700 --> 01:07:52,800
And how that Tesla Model Y tried to
choke me because the door seal ended
1677
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,520
up falling on my head as I was getting
out and all this kind of thing.
1678
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:59,460
If the seals are that bad on a
Cybertruck, and with all those
1679
01:07:59,510 --> 01:08:01,770
angles, you don't need a pry bar.
1680
01:08:01,770 --> 01:08:04,970
You probably could put your fingers
in there and pull the window back.
1681
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:05,840
Probably would've did.
1682
01:08:05,980 --> 01:08:10,330
Which is a lot harder to do on other
cars, even on a frameless door car,
1683
01:08:10,330 --> 01:08:12,120
which we've owned some over the years.
1684
01:08:12,170 --> 01:08:15,840
It's pretty tight in there and usually
the window goes up into a cavity.
1685
01:08:15,900 --> 01:08:16,250
Yes.
1686
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:17,540
Where it seals.
1687
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,800
inside of that door seal, even
though it doesn't have a frame.
1688
01:08:20,980 --> 01:08:26,210
To say that the build quality is maybe not
quite where it should be, and all those
1689
01:08:26,220 --> 01:08:32,000
weird angles might add an extra layer of,
I don't know, weakness, or entry point,
1690
01:08:32,020 --> 01:08:34,690
or attack vector, we'll call it that.
1691
01:08:34,930 --> 01:08:36,124
You know, I don't know!
1692
01:08:36,265 --> 01:08:37,715
But I guess this guy
proved the hypothesis.
1693
01:08:38,165 --> 01:08:42,435
Tesla's recall fix is going to be
going down to the local home depot
1694
01:08:42,435 --> 01:08:46,215
and getting some rebar to build
a frame for your frameless door.
1695
01:08:46,985 --> 01:08:48,025
Just caulk it shut.
1696
01:08:48,055 --> 01:08:49,425
Just get a couple of tubes of caulk.
1697
01:08:49,445 --> 01:08:51,385
Your answer usually, I
would just get some caulk.
1698
01:08:51,465 --> 01:08:53,775
I was going to say caulk, but
I decided to go with the rebar.
1699
01:08:53,845 --> 01:08:54,355
Yeah.
1700
01:08:54,455 --> 01:08:56,555
I'd like to spend a hundred
thousand dollars on a vehicle
1701
01:08:56,555 --> 01:08:58,495
that I can peel the glass back on.
1702
01:08:58,545 --> 01:08:58,935
What the fuck?
1703
01:08:58,935 --> 01:09:05,570
Ah, you know, now that my expectations
are thoroughly lowered, we need to Things
1704
01:09:05,570 --> 01:09:07,470
that are unfortunately unfortunate.
1705
01:09:07,580 --> 01:09:08,180
Look at that.
1706
01:09:08,190 --> 01:09:09,880
The first unfortunate thing.
1707
01:09:10,750 --> 01:09:12,490
Right back with the Cybertruck.
1708
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,500
I feel like this is like
serendipitous though.
1709
01:09:15,570 --> 01:09:17,650
No, this is the definition of irony.
1710
01:09:17,690 --> 01:09:18,000
Yeah.
1711
01:09:18,050 --> 01:09:20,290
The headline alone explains it.
1712
01:09:20,290 --> 01:09:21,870
Okay, Yahoo News reports.
1713
01:09:21,950 --> 01:09:25,230
Tesla Cybertruck hits fire
hydrant, catches on fire.
1714
01:09:25,290 --> 01:09:27,300
Well, they were already
there with the water.
1715
01:09:27,340 --> 01:09:29,580
So their fire hydrant was on the scene.
1716
01:09:29,610 --> 01:09:31,360
The fire hydrant was on the scene.
1717
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:36,480
Apparently he caused the fire, but
also could not put out the fire.
1718
01:09:36,490 --> 01:09:38,980
Do you know how much water
a fire hydrant puts out?
1719
01:09:39,020 --> 01:09:40,940
But that is needed to put out the fire.
1720
01:09:41,030 --> 01:09:41,990
Oh, still not enough.
1721
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:45,170
The picture of this thing
alone just cracks me up.
1722
01:09:45,270 --> 01:09:46,430
How do you hit a fire hydrant?
1723
01:09:46,460 --> 01:09:47,790
They're not in the middle of the road.
1724
01:09:47,850 --> 01:09:49,950
Supervised full self driving.
1725
01:09:51,365 --> 01:09:52,985
It was F U S D.
1726
01:09:53,085 --> 01:09:53,635
Yeah.
1727
01:09:53,635 --> 01:09:55,405
Oh, unsupervised.
1728
01:09:55,835 --> 01:09:59,195
No, so this Cybertruck
identified as a fire hose.
1729
01:10:00,505 --> 01:10:01,145
God.
1730
01:10:01,295 --> 01:10:05,935
There were reports this month of other
EVs burning to the ground and the
1731
01:10:05,945 --> 01:10:09,205
fires are just unbelievably tragic.
1732
01:10:09,265 --> 01:10:10,505
Everyone wants to say,
1733
01:10:12,955 --> 01:10:18,215
Gasoline, ice, thermal motors catch
on fire more than Thermal means fire.
1734
01:10:18,940 --> 01:10:24,120
When was the last time, though,
sir, that an ice engine that hit
1735
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:25,860
a fire hydrant caught on fire?
1736
01:10:26,180 --> 01:10:29,570
I believe the chances of
that are one in a trillion.
1737
01:10:29,690 --> 01:10:32,970
Unlike the Fast and the
Furious movies, generally.
1738
01:10:35,910 --> 01:10:41,360
When internal combustion engine operated
vehicles strike something, they don't
1739
01:10:41,370 --> 01:10:45,090
normally go up in a blaze of glory.
1740
01:10:45,180 --> 01:10:48,070
Would have been amazing if that
Cybertruck's dashboard lit up
1741
01:10:48,070 --> 01:10:49,890
and it said danger to manifold.
1742
01:10:50,845 --> 01:10:56,255
I mean, I get, yes, maybe ice do catch
on fire more regularly, but it seems
1743
01:10:56,255 --> 01:11:00,145
like the difficulty and the severity
of some of these electric vehicle
1744
01:11:00,155 --> 01:11:04,005
fires, imagine you're in some big
collision and then you're out of it.
1745
01:11:04,005 --> 01:11:07,295
You can't even get out of your car
or you can't get out of your car
1746
01:11:07,295 --> 01:11:10,465
until somebody comes rescues you
and then the damn thing ignites.
1747
01:11:10,505 --> 01:11:15,195
Would it be fair to say that maybe
Knowing what we know, having the safety
1748
01:11:15,195 --> 01:11:18,745
gear that we have available to us,
that we should wear our Nomex suits.
1749
01:11:18,745 --> 01:11:22,315
Every time we take a ride in a
Tesla, I was just about to say that.
1750
01:11:22,315 --> 01:11:23,285
Yep, exactly.
1751
01:11:23,445 --> 01:11:27,585
So you can go down the Tesla cyber
truck rabbit hole with this one article.
1752
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:29,940
I don't know if you looked in the
middle of the page, but it says man
1753
01:11:29,940 --> 01:11:31,870
almost loses a finger to a cyber truck.
1754
01:11:31,940 --> 01:11:35,610
Oh, the window tried to like,
no, this was the door because
1755
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,020
of where the door buttons are.
1756
01:11:37,870 --> 01:11:41,130
So his finger got caught between
the rear door and the front door.
1757
01:11:41,170 --> 01:11:42,250
He almost lost the finger.
1758
01:11:42,330 --> 01:11:43,840
And then the next one out of that is.
1759
01:11:44,015 --> 01:11:46,325
Out of control Cybertruck
crashes into a house?
1760
01:11:46,325 --> 01:11:47,695
I think that's the one we talked about.
1761
01:11:47,875 --> 01:11:49,175
Yeah, a while ago, yeah.
1762
01:11:49,265 --> 01:11:50,235
I just, I love it.
1763
01:11:50,285 --> 01:11:54,085
I saw one on the highway today,
and I've never seen one in traffic.
1764
01:11:54,105 --> 01:11:56,875
And the beltway, six lanes
on each side type of deal.
1765
01:11:56,945 --> 01:11:58,445
It is massive.
1766
01:11:58,465 --> 01:12:00,025
Looks like there's lumbering.
1767
01:12:00,055 --> 01:12:02,125
And I couldn't figure out
where the brake lights were.
1768
01:12:02,125 --> 01:12:04,985
You know how we discovered that
the headlights are in that gap?
1769
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,500
Between the front fascia and the
bumper, I think the brake lights
1770
01:12:08,500 --> 01:12:10,020
are in the same place on the back.
1771
01:12:10,090 --> 01:12:12,580
But every time we would stop
and go in traffic, I didn't
1772
01:12:12,580 --> 01:12:14,500
see that back bar light up.
1773
01:12:14,500 --> 01:12:18,250
I think that back bar across the
lift gate only comes on at night.
1774
01:12:18,310 --> 01:12:19,770
Unless he wasn't using the brakes.
1775
01:12:19,820 --> 01:12:20,230
Maybe.
1776
01:12:20,300 --> 01:12:22,790
Regenerative braking that you
don't have to break in those cars.
1777
01:12:22,910 --> 01:12:26,490
But you still have to hit the brake pedal
because we're coming to a full stop.
1778
01:12:26,500 --> 01:12:29,460
Not if it's full self
driving, it's fully aware.
1779
01:12:29,660 --> 01:12:32,565
Oh, Identifies as a brake light.
1780
01:12:32,595 --> 01:12:34,035
Or the brake lights just don't work.
1781
01:12:34,035 --> 01:12:36,245
I mean, amongst a million other
things that don't work on those.
1782
01:12:36,285 --> 01:12:37,845
They could have shortened for all we know.
1783
01:12:38,065 --> 01:12:39,525
Had brand new temp tags on it.
1784
01:12:39,565 --> 01:12:41,995
I will say, I see cyber
trucks all the time.
1785
01:12:41,995 --> 01:12:43,155
I see at least one a day.
1786
01:12:43,195 --> 01:12:44,095
They're creepy though.
1787
01:12:44,095 --> 01:12:47,085
When they come up on you, you're
suddenly like, whoa, what is that?
1788
01:12:47,265 --> 01:12:48,925
I hate the fact that they're so popular.
1789
01:12:49,005 --> 01:12:50,755
I don't know why, I just,
they rub me the wrong way.
1790
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:54,900
Really upset me because you didn't
get one and you are owed a T-shirt.
1791
01:12:54,900 --> 01:12:56,220
That's why I didn't want one.
1792
01:12:56,220 --> 01:12:59,460
Yeah, I ordered a cyber truck and
all I got was this stupid T-shirt.
1793
01:12:59,460 --> 01:13:00,150
Parentheses.
1794
01:13:00,150 --> 01:13:02,910
Thank God . Thank Elon.
1795
01:13:02,910 --> 01:13:03,510
Get it right.
1796
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:05,430
Thank you El Well, Elon is God.
1797
01:13:05,430 --> 01:13:05,880
There you go.
1798
01:13:05,970 --> 01:13:08,520
Soon to be he's gonna be
the first trillionaire.
1799
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:09,120
Did you hear that?
1800
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:09,900
It's insane.
1801
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:12,300
Don't even get me started on
how stupid people make money.
1802
01:13:13,140 --> 01:13:13,920
. He's not stupid.
1803
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:15,720
He's very smart, but he's also.
1804
01:13:15,970 --> 01:13:16,420
Stupid.
1805
01:13:16,490 --> 01:13:18,110
He's also a horrible human being.
1806
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,450
Yes, horrible human beings
make a lot of money.
1807
01:13:20,470 --> 01:13:26,300
Well, this next one almost made Florida
man, but this is really unfortunate.
1808
01:13:26,300 --> 01:13:27,670
This is right down the road!
1809
01:13:28,260 --> 01:13:29,000
The rich man's side!
1810
01:13:30,510 --> 01:13:33,170
I don't understand what happened.
1811
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,350
I don't understand how this
is physically possible.
1812
01:13:36,670 --> 01:13:38,320
Where's the rest of the truck?
1813
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:38,990
Kept going.
1814
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:39,590
What?
1815
01:13:39,660 --> 01:13:44,700
So the cab separated, but I don't
understand the highway sign was that low?
1816
01:13:44,710 --> 01:13:48,330
The only way I can explain this is that
it went off and then rode the pole.
1817
01:13:48,370 --> 01:13:51,970
No, so it says that the
semi When it's raised bed.
1818
01:13:51,970 --> 01:13:54,070
So he was driving like a dump lift.
1819
01:13:54,130 --> 01:13:55,370
That's a big dump lift.
1820
01:13:55,380 --> 01:13:57,020
That's the full length
of a tractor trailer.
1821
01:13:57,020 --> 01:13:58,340
I didn't think those things tilted.
1822
01:13:58,390 --> 01:14:01,680
Because it says the semi was headed
west when it's raised bed slammed into
1823
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:06,690
the overhead sign near mile marker
200 as it approached the 64 295 split.
1824
01:14:06,930 --> 01:14:11,000
The cab continued on and then stopped,
obviously, because it separated
1825
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:12,310
from the bed of the tractor trailer.
1826
01:14:12,340 --> 01:14:13,314
He was adding rocks to the trailer.
1827
01:14:13,345 --> 01:14:16,345
Chips to the highway troopers do
not know why the bed was raised or
1828
01:14:16,345 --> 01:14:17,725
how long was up before the crash.
1829
01:14:17,785 --> 01:14:19,405
Oh, okay.
1830
01:14:19,405 --> 01:14:22,135
That's my missing piece
of information possible.
1831
01:14:22,195 --> 01:14:25,585
This happened in Georgia a couple
years ago and we reported on it where
1832
01:14:25,585 --> 01:14:27,325
a dump truck hit a bridge, remember?
1833
01:14:27,325 --> 01:14:30,415
And he didn't realize that the
dump was up or something like that.
1834
01:14:30,445 --> 01:14:31,435
Yeah, but that's a dump truck.
1835
01:14:31,435 --> 01:14:32,335
This is a dump truck.
1836
01:14:32,335 --> 01:14:34,075
This is like a dump tractor trailer.
1837
01:14:34,315 --> 01:14:36,265
Apparently that bed could be lifted.
1838
01:14:37,045 --> 01:14:37,675
Well, it lifted.
1839
01:14:37,675 --> 01:14:41,395
Can you imagine being on the
highway behind that is straight up.
1840
01:14:41,395 --> 01:14:41,635
Out of.
1841
01:14:43,005 --> 01:14:47,255
But nobody tried to flag this guy
down or tell him, Hey, up, up, up.
1842
01:14:47,335 --> 01:14:50,585
Maybe he's thinking do the horn and
he's just blowing the horn at him.
1843
01:14:50,585 --> 01:14:50,875
Right?
1844
01:14:50,915 --> 01:14:51,965
No, you're in Virginia.
1845
01:14:51,985 --> 01:14:53,305
You just get the hell out of the way.
1846
01:14:53,335 --> 01:14:55,005
They're all amped out in the left lane.
1847
01:14:55,005 --> 01:14:55,345
Nothing.
1848
01:14:55,345 --> 01:14:55,565
Yeah.
1849
01:14:55,565 --> 01:14:57,085
You just, just let it happen.
1850
01:14:57,135 --> 01:15:01,015
This trailer identified as a street
sign, apparently, but as Tanya
1851
01:15:01,015 --> 01:15:02,735
likes to say, that's unfortunate.
1852
01:15:02,805 --> 01:15:03,365
All right, guys.
1853
01:15:03,375 --> 01:15:06,575
So following up from last month,
gave you guys a homework assignment.
1854
01:15:06,635 --> 01:15:08,965
Did anybody watch one for the road?
1855
01:15:09,150 --> 01:15:13,540
Final chapter in the Top Gear Grand
Tour Clarkson Hammond and Mays saga.
1856
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:13,900
No.
1857
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:14,230
Yes.
1858
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:14,500
What?
1859
01:15:15,090 --> 01:15:15,980
Yes, of course.
1860
01:15:16,050 --> 01:15:17,250
And what do we think?
1861
01:15:17,300 --> 01:15:18,770
It was just like all the rest.
1862
01:15:18,780 --> 01:15:21,230
I feel it was more for
them than for the fans.
1863
01:15:21,300 --> 01:15:22,240
I would agree with that.
1864
01:15:22,310 --> 01:15:24,660
They didn't do anything
new or earth shattering.
1865
01:15:24,885 --> 01:15:29,005
It was just kind of like a greatest
hits of their jokes and I don't
1866
01:15:29,005 --> 01:15:30,585
know it was definitely for them.
1867
01:15:30,765 --> 01:15:35,185
I wasn't sure like the beginning of it
okay they got their three cars they're
1868
01:15:35,185 --> 01:15:39,015
going on this road trip and I was like
nothing was really happening so to speak
1869
01:15:39,015 --> 01:15:42,895
like it was pretty mundane yeah the Capri
kept breaking down every 20 minutes.
1870
01:15:43,115 --> 01:15:44,755
But it's kind of like par for the course.
1871
01:15:44,805 --> 01:15:47,655
And then they, they did the
antics, I guess I'll call it.
1872
01:15:47,655 --> 01:15:49,505
And it's like, let's
drive down the railway.
1873
01:15:49,505 --> 01:15:50,555
And I'm like, okay.
1874
01:15:50,625 --> 01:15:53,045
I mean, that's been done before they
even said they'd done it before.
1875
01:15:53,075 --> 01:15:55,735
So I don't know if that
felt forced, contrived.
1876
01:15:55,765 --> 01:15:56,335
Yeah.
1877
01:15:56,415 --> 01:15:57,045
Forced.
1878
01:15:57,115 --> 01:15:58,475
That was nor here nor there.
1879
01:15:58,535 --> 01:16:01,415
Could they have just skipped that
and driven the rest of the way?
1880
01:16:01,415 --> 01:16:02,135
I don't know.
1881
01:16:02,215 --> 01:16:06,515
I mean, I will say I was just
a little bit heartbroken that
1882
01:16:06,515 --> 01:16:07,589
he destroyed the railroad.
1883
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:10,139
That Lancia.
1884
01:16:10,140 --> 01:16:12,330
When that bumper ripped
off, I was just like.
1885
01:16:12,910 --> 01:16:16,120
I loved all the mods on the Lancia
when he goes, and it's got the
1886
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:19,850
308 taillights and it's got the
Delta HF grille in the headlight.
1887
01:16:19,860 --> 01:16:22,140
He said it cost him 80, 000 pounds.
1888
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:25,140
I'm like, can you drive
slower over the potholes?
1889
01:16:25,155 --> 01:16:31,095
For Pete's sake, like, anyway, there was
a couple of good potshots in there too.
1890
01:16:31,105 --> 01:16:34,685
Like when Hammond was working on
the Capri and they talked about
1891
01:16:34,685 --> 01:16:38,205
some of his crashes and they kind of
really get him on the Rimac that he
1892
01:16:38,205 --> 01:16:39,585
destroyed, you know, that kind of thing.
1893
01:16:39,585 --> 01:16:40,655
I thought that was funny.
1894
01:16:40,745 --> 01:16:43,795
It was interesting to see James
may actually get a little bit
1895
01:16:43,795 --> 01:16:44,725
emotional towards the end.
1896
01:16:44,825 --> 01:16:46,305
Cause he's, he's like the ice man.
1897
01:16:46,315 --> 01:16:48,985
Like he's always like, Oh, he's
always kind of like the curmudgeon.
1898
01:16:48,995 --> 01:16:49,465
You know what I mean?
1899
01:16:49,465 --> 01:16:50,375
Like, Oh, okay.
1900
01:16:50,375 --> 01:16:50,805
I'm here.
1901
01:16:50,805 --> 01:16:51,365
I'm doing this.
1902
01:16:51,455 --> 01:16:57,465
I thought for sure Tanya would
be heartbroken or like angry that
1903
01:16:57,465 --> 01:16:59,835
they destroyed a Volkswagen Beetle.
1904
01:16:59,835 --> 01:17:07,415
Oh, and I gotta say up until the very last
second where the beetle disintegrated, I
1905
01:17:07,415 --> 01:17:12,275
thought it held up pretty well given what
was going on and just the tumbling down.
1906
01:17:12,275 --> 01:17:15,145
I was like, wow, if Tanya's
ever in an accident on track,
1907
01:17:15,145 --> 01:17:16,775
I think she's going to be okay.
1908
01:17:16,885 --> 01:17:19,005
And then tumble, tumble,
tumble, tumble, tumble, tumble.
1909
01:17:19,005 --> 01:17:20,665
Hey, the cockpit's fine.
1910
01:17:20,665 --> 01:17:20,729
It's fine.
1911
01:17:20,730 --> 01:17:24,990
Until it wasn't, did you see when the
motor and transmission ejected itself?
1912
01:17:25,020 --> 01:17:26,230
Like it went into orbit.
1913
01:17:26,250 --> 01:17:26,780
Yeah, but who cares?
1914
01:17:26,820 --> 01:17:30,400
I was only looking at the cockpit to make
sure the driver would have been okay.
1915
01:17:30,450 --> 01:17:32,950
And it was fine until
like the last two seconds.
1916
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:35,390
And then all of a sudden
it collapsed on itself.
1917
01:17:35,470 --> 01:17:36,900
That was unnecessary.
1918
01:17:37,260 --> 01:17:37,620
Yes.
1919
01:17:37,790 --> 01:17:38,690
100 percent it was.
1920
01:17:38,740 --> 01:17:39,730
It should have been a caravan.
1921
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:41,560
Really unnecessary.
1922
01:17:41,780 --> 01:17:46,560
That car would have been the better
car to have driven across those
1923
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:47,920
roads than the ones they chose.
1924
01:17:47,940 --> 01:17:49,190
But at any rate, I get it.
1925
01:17:49,190 --> 01:17:51,370
It was actually a pristine beetle too.
1926
01:17:51,380 --> 01:17:52,870
It was in really good condition.
1927
01:17:53,330 --> 01:17:57,040
I was like eating something and
I literally just mid bite just
1928
01:17:57,050 --> 01:18:01,400
stopped mouth agape and I didn't
move the whole, I was just like.
1929
01:18:01,440 --> 01:18:03,080
And you knew what was coming too.
1930
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:03,880
You're like, come on.
1931
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:04,280
Oh my God.
1932
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:05,470
They built it up so much.
1933
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:06,420
Oh my God.
1934
01:18:06,550 --> 01:18:08,630
I've gotten myself into a predicament.
1935
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:09,800
Oh, I know.
1936
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:13,530
And it was just like, ah, we
spent five minutes building it up.
1937
01:18:14,170 --> 01:18:15,010
Really?
1938
01:18:15,930 --> 01:18:16,800
Oh yeah.
1939
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:18,460
That was distasteful.
1940
01:18:19,340 --> 01:18:21,480
I think it would have been
better had he done it.
1941
01:18:21,510 --> 01:18:25,340
Ferris Bueller style where the brick is
on the pedal and then he's just kicking
1942
01:18:25,340 --> 01:18:28,310
the shit out of it until it just goes
off the cliff, but it should have been
1943
01:18:28,310 --> 01:18:29,810
going backwards, you know what I mean?
1944
01:18:29,810 --> 01:18:30,310
Kind of thing.
1945
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:30,820
Like it would have been.
1946
01:18:30,895 --> 01:18:31,435
Perfect.
1947
01:18:31,485 --> 01:18:33,995
I like the idea that
they used a dog though.
1948
01:18:34,015 --> 01:18:35,925
It was almost like an
homage to top gear dog.
1949
01:18:35,965 --> 01:18:36,785
Yeah, it was.
1950
01:18:36,785 --> 01:18:38,055
I got top gear dog, man.
1951
01:18:38,055 --> 01:18:39,115
That's been a minute too.
1952
01:18:39,245 --> 01:18:42,605
And I thought the other part that
was kind of cool, whether it was
1953
01:18:42,615 --> 01:18:47,245
produced or not, was when they came
across the original cars, except for
1954
01:18:47,255 --> 01:18:51,585
Oliver, which we know is back in the
UK that were on that original special.
1955
01:18:51,595 --> 01:18:55,655
So his launch of beta coop and the
Mercedes, I thought that was really cool.
1956
01:18:55,655 --> 01:18:58,725
I think that was the moment when
James sort of realized like.
1957
01:18:59,025 --> 01:19:00,025
Oh, crap.
1958
01:19:00,045 --> 01:19:00,995
This is the end.
1959
01:19:01,025 --> 01:19:05,035
Yeah, I don't think the boys knew,
but I think the producers knew.
1960
01:19:05,445 --> 01:19:07,335
Like, they probably found those cars.
1961
01:19:07,365 --> 01:19:09,425
Yeah, I thought that was
really, really well done.
1962
01:19:09,475 --> 01:19:12,555
I will say, I definitely thought they
were going to drive through the minefield.
1963
01:19:12,645 --> 01:19:13,995
But they've done that before too, right?
1964
01:19:13,995 --> 01:19:16,815
With all the military
exercise stuff they've done.
1965
01:19:16,945 --> 01:19:18,975
Yeah, but it wasn't quite a minefield.
1966
01:19:19,980 --> 01:19:22,330
The fact that that truck went
through, I thought that was awesome.
1967
01:19:22,410 --> 01:19:23,460
Yeah, that was pretty cool.
1968
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:28,570
I felt like it came full circle and it
did literally and figuratively because it
1969
01:19:28,580 --> 01:19:30,750
spoiler alert, it ends where it started.
1970
01:19:30,990 --> 01:19:34,980
I had to wrap my head around it because
I've been following top gear since let's
1971
01:19:34,980 --> 01:19:38,870
say top gear version one, when it was more
like motor week Clarkson was on there,
1972
01:19:38,870 --> 01:19:43,320
but he was reviewing like the Renault
R 17, the original one and telling you
1973
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:46,520
about how crappy the tires were and what
the handling was like, just like you
1974
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:47,850
would expect from, let's say motor week.
1975
01:19:48,075 --> 01:19:49,044
And then when Top Gear 2.
1976
01:19:49,045 --> 01:19:53,125
0 came out, suddenly had Clarkson Hammond
in May and the airport and stuff like
1977
01:19:53,125 --> 01:19:57,345
that, they had their adventures, but I
didn't realize that the specials, and
1978
01:19:57,345 --> 01:20:02,555
what they meant by specials was these
independent, long format, two hour
1979
01:20:02,635 --> 01:20:06,575
deals that they would put together,
started 17 years ago and started there
1980
01:20:06,575 --> 01:20:09,315
in Botswana and the whole thing, and
that's why I say it came full circle,
1981
01:20:09,385 --> 01:20:13,055
because I kept thinking there were
other specials where they would talk for
1982
01:20:13,055 --> 01:20:17,470
maybe five minutes, But it fit inside
of the 44 minute episode that they had
1983
01:20:17,470 --> 01:20:20,820
put together with a break in a little
conversation street or whatever it is.
1984
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:21,190
Yeah.
1985
01:20:21,190 --> 01:20:23,950
But the reason they fit and it's
cause they were edited down.
1986
01:20:23,950 --> 01:20:27,920
If you were able to get when they were
on Netflix or whatever, or if you had
1987
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:32,270
access to BBC, if you were able to get
the unedited versions, they were our,
1988
01:20:32,270 --> 01:20:35,910
our plus episodes, even the standard
top gear episodes were over an hour.
1989
01:20:35,950 --> 01:20:40,380
Cause I felt like the Africa special
was already well into them doing so.
1990
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:40,920
specials.
1991
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:43,800
There were other things that they
had done already on Top Gear that
1992
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:44,920
sort of led up to that moment.
1993
01:20:44,990 --> 01:20:47,790
So I felt like, man, they've been doing
this for a lot longer than 17 years.
1994
01:20:47,830 --> 01:20:49,630
But 17 years is nothing to sneeze at.
1995
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:54,630
Jeremy Clarkson has been in the business
well over 30 years, and Clarkson, Hammond,
1996
01:20:54,630 --> 01:20:56,930
and May well over 20 years together.
1997
01:20:56,930 --> 01:21:01,985
So I agree with you that it was for
them, but I think as fans, If they
1998
01:21:01,985 --> 01:21:05,635
had just left it where they left it,
let's say with the previous special.
1999
01:21:05,715 --> 01:21:07,005
Oh, it wasn't good enough.
2000
01:21:07,055 --> 01:21:08,365
We needed some closure.
2001
01:21:08,395 --> 01:21:08,915
Thank you.
2002
01:21:08,955 --> 01:21:09,785
Exactly.
2003
01:21:09,865 --> 01:21:12,745
It was a nice ending to something and
like other stuff that just kind of
2004
01:21:12,755 --> 01:21:17,535
like ends with and you're like looking
around going, okay, that was it.
2005
01:21:18,055 --> 01:21:21,985
Little kind of side notes from
this when that triumph stag showed
2006
01:21:21,985 --> 01:21:25,475
up I actually knew about that
car and I had just paused it.
2007
01:21:25,475 --> 01:21:29,475
I said, oh my god, you won't believe
what a piece of crap Those motors,
2008
01:21:29,505 --> 01:21:32,485
you know, and then they would take the
rover sd1 engine and put it in there
2009
01:21:32,485 --> 01:21:36,425
And then they led into that this like
I paused as soon as the car showed
2010
01:21:36,435 --> 01:21:37,785
up because she's like what is this?
2011
01:21:37,785 --> 01:21:40,535
And we were talking about it Yeah We were
kind of arguing a little bit about whether
2012
01:21:40,535 --> 01:21:43,905
it was barney purple or not because to
me it was a little bit too Magenta and
2013
01:21:43,905 --> 01:21:47,695
then they they lay into it and She's
like, how do you know all this stuff?
2014
01:21:47,765 --> 01:21:50,615
And I'm just like, I know things I
shouldn't, I guess, you know what I mean?
2015
01:21:50,635 --> 01:21:54,575
But that Rover SD1, the backup
car, I love those things.
2016
01:21:54,585 --> 01:21:56,345
I think they're super cool.
2017
01:21:56,465 --> 01:21:59,845
They sort of gave inspiration
to what we got in the States,
2018
01:21:59,845 --> 01:22:01,055
which was that Sterling.
2019
01:22:01,075 --> 01:22:04,375
If you remember that European Accord,
it kind of had a similar look to it.
2020
01:22:04,375 --> 01:22:07,575
It lasted for like a hot minute
in the late 80s, early 90s.
2021
01:22:07,615 --> 01:22:09,855
I thought it was funny because
they roasted him a little
2022
01:22:09,855 --> 01:22:10,905
bit from the beginning.
2023
01:22:10,915 --> 01:22:11,745
Oh my God.
2024
01:22:11,830 --> 01:22:13,200
This engine's a turd.
2025
01:22:13,270 --> 01:22:14,370
They all overheat.
2026
01:22:14,390 --> 01:22:17,020
You never find a stag with this motor
because they've all been replaced
2027
01:22:17,170 --> 01:22:18,740
with the V8 and da da da da da.
2028
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:24,040
And that car never had a problem the
whole time through the heat and all that.
2029
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:28,130
I'm like, well, that car doesn't
overheat through that trip.
2030
01:22:28,390 --> 01:22:29,350
It ain't never overheat.
2031
01:22:29,500 --> 01:22:30,300
Yeah, right.
2032
01:22:30,925 --> 01:22:33,854
I wouldn't be surprised if secretly
he did replace the motor and
2033
01:22:33,855 --> 01:22:34,955
it had a different motor in it.
2034
01:22:35,375 --> 01:22:39,605
I was disappointed in the fact they took
the doors off of that car, considering
2035
01:22:39,605 --> 01:22:41,405
how good a condition it was in.
2036
01:22:41,485 --> 01:22:43,665
I guarantee they put
them back on afterward.
2037
01:22:43,725 --> 01:22:46,195
It was cardboard garbage
at the end though.
2038
01:22:46,285 --> 01:22:50,560
But you know what's funny is, I read some
Somewhere that the searches on Google
2039
01:22:50,590 --> 01:22:57,560
of triumph stag were up 6, 000 percent
as a result of that episode, Lord, it's
2040
01:22:57,560 --> 01:22:59,750
going to be the fast and furious effect.
2041
01:23:00,030 --> 01:23:01,250
Like the prices of supers went up.
2042
01:23:01,260 --> 01:23:02,890
The prices of those cars
are going to go up now.
2043
01:23:02,930 --> 01:23:03,250
Yeah.
2044
01:23:03,250 --> 01:23:05,200
And then people are going to
realize how crappy they are.
2045
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:06,050
And it doesn't really matter.
2046
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:08,780
I'd rather have that Rover SD
one, honestly, the gold car.
2047
01:23:10,020 --> 01:23:11,500
I love the beta Monte Carlos.
2048
01:23:11,510 --> 01:23:12,300
They're so awesome.
2049
01:23:12,380 --> 01:23:14,400
And then the scorpion
on top is even better.
2050
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:14,670
Right?
2051
01:23:14,670 --> 01:23:16,380
So there was another article.
2052
01:23:16,435 --> 01:23:21,945
that Hammond talked about after they shot
and did production of the episode that
2053
01:23:21,965 --> 01:23:24,705
apparently it's sort of like not the end.
2054
01:23:24,785 --> 01:23:26,465
It's the end of the three
of them together, right?
2055
01:23:26,465 --> 01:23:29,805
Clarkson is doing his thing, Clarkson
Farm and all that stuff, which is
2056
01:23:29,815 --> 01:23:31,165
fantastic if you've never watched it.
2057
01:23:31,165 --> 01:23:32,115
It's actually a lot of fun.
2058
01:23:32,205 --> 01:23:36,095
But apparently him and May are going to
do something of an adventure together.
2059
01:23:36,095 --> 01:23:40,985
And then apparently Hammond and his
brother are going to go off and redo
2060
01:23:41,145 --> 01:23:46,105
some of the previous adventures that they
had in the past, but with a little less.
2061
01:23:46,370 --> 01:23:49,760
of a whole production team there
to help them, like, fix the stuff.
2062
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:52,240
Like, they're actually gonna
do some of these adventures.
2063
01:23:52,250 --> 01:23:54,560
So I thought that was pretty
cool, and he was talking about
2064
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:55,530
that after it was all over.
2065
01:23:55,530 --> 01:23:59,670
So it's sort of not the end, and all
three of them are used to being on camera.
2066
01:23:59,670 --> 01:24:02,980
I mean, James May's still doing
the R Man in Japan, and R Man
2067
01:24:02,980 --> 01:24:04,010
here, and all that kind of stuff.
2068
01:24:04,010 --> 01:24:08,240
So I don't see a finality to
this, unless They're physically
2069
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:10,150
not capable of doing something.
2070
01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:12,200
They're just not going
to be doing it together.
2071
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:13,740
It's not the end of their careers.
2072
01:24:13,740 --> 01:24:18,230
It's just the end of their, them to get,
it's the end of an era, not their careers.
2073
01:24:18,310 --> 01:24:19,920
And I don't think it's the
end of their friendship.
2074
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:23,640
Although I really love the whole thing
where may is like deleting their numbers.
2075
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:25,430
Yeah, it was so good.
2076
01:24:25,510 --> 01:24:30,710
But even that ending I appreciated
and Jess really liked it when Jeremy's
2077
01:24:30,740 --> 01:24:31,970
talking and then suddenly he just.
2078
01:24:32,190 --> 01:24:36,480
Pulls the mic and then that was it and it
went quiet Yeah But I also thought with
2079
01:24:36,500 --> 01:24:40,200
all those quotes that they used and not
all of them were from that episode Some
2080
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:41,890
of them were pulled from other things.
2081
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:47,750
I felt it appropriate and it was a missed
opportunity for jeremy's classic ending
2082
01:24:47,940 --> 01:24:50,250
And on that bombshell, it's time to end.
2083
01:24:50,730 --> 01:24:51,290
Boom!
2084
01:24:51,550 --> 01:24:52,130
Mic drop.
2085
01:24:52,180 --> 01:24:52,690
Done.
2086
01:24:52,770 --> 01:24:53,140
Yeah.
2087
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:54,960
I just felt like I needed that.
2088
01:24:54,970 --> 01:24:55,660
That was me.
2089
01:24:55,670 --> 01:24:57,210
Hopefully I'm not alone in that feeling.
2090
01:24:57,210 --> 01:25:00,400
I do think the disconnected mic
thing was cool, but it is what it is.
2091
01:25:00,510 --> 01:25:04,500
Because of this, my kids have started
to get into Top Gear and they want
2092
01:25:04,500 --> 01:25:06,040
to see more of the old special.
2093
01:25:06,050 --> 01:25:08,680
So, I might actually spend
some time, like, revisiting.
2094
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,250
Not all of them are appropriate.
2095
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:13,209
Some of their antics, to use Tanya's
word, are not always appropriate.
2096
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:15,740
Kosher, but you know, there's
some good ones in there.
2097
01:25:15,740 --> 01:25:18,960
I mean, Bolivia, the
North Pole, especially.
2098
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:21,960
I mean, there's some really,
really awesome ones in the mix.
2099
01:25:21,980 --> 01:25:22,150
Yeah.
2100
01:25:22,150 --> 01:25:23,620
I think the Bolivia one's my favorite.
2101
01:25:23,670 --> 01:25:23,960
Yeah.
2102
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:25,630
That one's definitely top three.
2103
01:25:25,670 --> 01:25:29,200
And obviously the original Africa
one for that matter is fantastic.
2104
01:25:29,480 --> 01:25:32,100
So they did watch Scandi
Flick recently though.
2105
01:25:32,100 --> 01:25:34,600
And that accident, everybody
reacts the same way.
2106
01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:35,310
It's not great.
2107
01:25:35,730 --> 01:25:36,340
Not ideal.
2108
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:38,100
We have some rich people things.
2109
01:25:38,300 --> 01:25:39,330
Yay!
2110
01:25:39,510 --> 01:25:42,130
Sponsored by Garage Style
Magazine, because after all, what
2111
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:43,500
doesn't belong in your garage?
2112
01:25:43,990 --> 01:25:47,130
Shaq said he needed another
car, and what did he buy?
2113
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:47,950
Cybertruck.
2114
01:25:48,550 --> 01:25:49,200
See Brad?
2115
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:51,290
He's another happy Cybertruck owner.
2116
01:25:51,310 --> 01:25:52,730
This is what irritated me.
2117
01:25:52,770 --> 01:25:58,090
However, it's I guess a one of a kind,
because it is a carbon fiber Cybertruck.
2118
01:25:58,100 --> 01:25:59,300
So, Mr.
2119
01:25:59,310 --> 01:26:03,100
O'Neil is actually a little bit
intelligent, because he went, uh, I
2120
01:26:03,100 --> 01:26:04,920
don't want this stainless steel trash.
2121
01:26:07,140 --> 01:26:09,340
I will pay quadruple for carbon fiber.
2122
01:26:09,380 --> 01:26:10,320
That's a lot of carbon.
2123
01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:12,070
I don't want to be out
here buffing this thing.
2124
01:26:12,740 --> 01:26:16,250
It still weighs 8, 000 pounds
instead of 9, 000 pounds though.
2125
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:18,440
They should have made the cyber
truck out of carbon fiber.
2126
01:26:18,450 --> 01:26:20,130
That would have been more cyber.
2127
01:26:20,190 --> 01:26:23,640
That would have been more futuristic
to have a street car that wasn't a
2128
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:25,390
hyper car made out of carbon fiber.
2129
01:26:25,500 --> 01:26:26,930
They could have made it out of Kevlar.
2130
01:26:26,930 --> 01:26:28,500
So the whole thing was not bulletproof.
2131
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:29,790
Carbon Kevlar is not new.
2132
01:26:29,820 --> 01:26:32,840
They did that in the eighties on
like, Audis and Ferraris and stuff.
2133
01:26:32,850 --> 01:26:34,310
Stainless steel ain't new either.
2134
01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:35,800
So he wasn't going for that.
2135
01:26:36,010 --> 01:26:38,160
No, we'd straight back to
the eighties on that too.
2136
01:26:38,190 --> 01:26:40,430
It's still ugly, but I like the
red light in the front though.
2137
01:26:40,510 --> 01:26:41,250
I think it looks cool.
2138
01:26:41,300 --> 01:26:42,050
It's murdered out.
2139
01:26:42,050 --> 01:26:42,750
It's like the rate.
2140
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:45,950
I've seen a cyber truck like
this, like blacked out in my area.
2141
01:26:45,980 --> 01:26:47,220
Here, the guy wrapped it.
2142
01:26:47,250 --> 01:26:49,770
It's still ugly, but it looks
better than the stainless.
2143
01:26:49,830 --> 01:26:53,019
It's better than it was, but
it's still polishing a turd.
2144
01:26:53,020 --> 01:26:55,320
Did you notice that Shaq's
windshield is also tinted?
2145
01:26:55,590 --> 01:26:55,790
Yep.
2146
01:26:55,830 --> 01:26:56,530
Illegal.
2147
01:26:56,745 --> 01:26:58,155
Issue that man a citation.
2148
01:26:58,165 --> 01:26:59,435
He ain't driving that thing.
2149
01:26:59,465 --> 01:27:00,685
Isn't it really small inside?
2150
01:27:00,705 --> 01:27:01,775
How the hell is he fitting?
2151
01:27:01,845 --> 01:27:02,865
That's what I was wondering.
2152
01:27:02,875 --> 01:27:05,915
Like, they're not very big inside, but
it's got enough headroom for the driver.
2153
01:27:05,935 --> 01:27:07,365
Maybe it's custom on the inside.
2154
01:27:07,365 --> 01:27:08,825
Since it's only like seven foot something.
2155
01:27:08,865 --> 01:27:09,605
There's no backseat.
2156
01:27:09,605 --> 01:27:10,385
He just sits in the back.
2157
01:27:10,385 --> 01:27:13,895
So it did bring up a question in my mind.
2158
01:27:13,935 --> 01:27:17,595
You remember how Shaq was doing
that Shaq's garage cartoon,
2159
01:27:17,605 --> 01:27:19,085
sort of like the Cars movie.
2160
01:27:19,155 --> 01:27:21,075
So is there going to be
a Cybertruck in it now?
2161
01:27:21,135 --> 01:27:22,205
Is that show even still on?
2162
01:27:22,325 --> 01:27:23,915
Did it even make it to market?
2163
01:27:23,945 --> 01:27:24,355
I don't know.
2164
01:27:24,585 --> 01:27:25,385
We got to look that up.
2165
01:27:25,395 --> 01:27:26,075
We got to find out.
2166
01:27:26,125 --> 01:27:28,225
That came up during the
beginning of COVID, I think.
2167
01:27:28,255 --> 01:27:29,605
Oh, look at this.
2168
01:27:29,635 --> 01:27:31,595
We have more rich people times.
2169
01:27:31,685 --> 01:27:34,065
Make sure you put down this winter.
2170
01:27:34,165 --> 01:27:37,965
If you're one to ask Santa for
presents, maybe you want to ask
2171
01:27:37,965 --> 01:27:40,885
for this if you're expecting a
little bundle of joy in the future.
2172
01:27:40,995 --> 01:27:43,325
How would you like a Lamborghini?
2173
01:27:43,595 --> 01:27:44,365
for your baby.
2174
01:27:44,365 --> 01:27:44,894
Wait, wait, wait.
2175
01:27:44,895 --> 01:27:47,135
Are we talking like Bugatti Baby 2?
2176
01:27:47,135 --> 01:27:48,405
Because that's been done before.
2177
01:27:48,445 --> 01:27:52,385
No, we're talking about a
limited edition baby stroller.
2178
01:27:52,425 --> 01:27:54,005
No!
2179
01:27:54,035 --> 01:27:54,415
Yes.
2180
01:27:54,415 --> 01:27:57,935
A Lamborghini baby
stroller could be yours.
2181
01:27:57,985 --> 01:28:00,845
Is it named after a bull like
all the other Lamborghinis are?
2182
01:28:00,915 --> 01:28:03,505
There's only going to be 500 made.
2183
01:28:03,535 --> 01:28:05,945
The price isn't revealed yet on it.
2184
01:28:06,145 --> 01:28:09,405
But the basis of this
stroller costs 1, 000.
2185
01:28:09,415 --> 01:28:12,490
So expect it to cost more than 1, 000.
2186
01:28:12,490 --> 01:28:12,995
Is that all?
2187
01:28:13,045 --> 01:28:16,315
It's actually not terribly
outlandish for a baby stroller.
2188
01:28:16,365 --> 01:28:18,195
Do you know how loud Lamborghinis are?
2189
01:28:18,215 --> 01:28:19,565
This would frighten the child.
2190
01:28:19,565 --> 01:28:20,215
It would go down there.
2191
01:28:20,375 --> 01:28:24,885
Rawr, You know, you know that
V10 sound that they make?
2192
01:28:28,415 --> 01:28:30,955
That trooper that pulled you over
would give this person a ticket?
2193
01:28:31,095 --> 01:28:31,655
100%.
2194
01:28:32,005 --> 01:28:35,295
I do like the orange stitching
though, that is super nice.
2195
01:28:35,365 --> 01:28:37,855
I'm gonna do that to my baby
stroller that I probably won't be
2196
01:28:37,855 --> 01:28:39,445
using once Adam starts walking.
2197
01:28:39,495 --> 01:28:40,135
Boom, done.
2198
01:28:40,165 --> 01:28:42,565
Bring out some Lambo
stickers, put them on.
2199
01:28:42,635 --> 01:28:42,965
Yep.
2200
01:28:42,995 --> 01:28:43,975
So much cheaper.
2201
01:28:44,045 --> 01:28:45,405
Feel like I have a Lamborghini.
2202
01:28:45,665 --> 01:28:49,265
Well, we've reached that part of the
episode where it's time to go down south
2203
01:28:49,295 --> 01:28:50,975
and talk about alligators and beer.
2204
01:28:51,025 --> 01:28:52,745
Oh man, we're in a flirta man.
2205
01:29:07,325 --> 01:29:10,665
Our first Florida man, how
unfortunate for the owners.
2206
01:29:10,685 --> 01:29:11,065
Right.
2207
01:29:11,085 --> 01:29:16,815
But this thief decided to steal a tractor
trailer full of Porsche's race car.
2208
01:29:16,865 --> 01:29:17,515
Yes!
2209
01:29:17,565 --> 01:29:19,114
Worth about 1.
2210
01:29:19,115 --> 01:29:20,945
5 million dollars.
2211
01:29:21,205 --> 01:29:22,475
And he got away with it apparently.
2212
01:29:22,585 --> 01:29:24,205
This is very gone in 60 seconds.
2213
01:29:24,235 --> 01:29:26,905
He's a Florida man motorsports enthusiast.
2214
01:29:26,905 --> 01:29:28,145
He knew what he was doing.
2215
01:29:28,285 --> 01:29:31,825
What he was going to do with them
after he stole them is beyond me.
2216
01:29:31,905 --> 01:29:34,065
Because race cars are pretty obvious.
2217
01:29:34,855 --> 01:29:35,425
Chop them up.
2218
01:29:35,630 --> 01:29:36,020
Parts.
2219
01:29:36,030 --> 01:29:39,960
There's so little things on a race car
that you could use back on a street car.
2220
01:29:39,970 --> 01:29:40,940
It's not worth it.
2221
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:42,100
Bold move, Cotton.
2222
01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:44,410
Maybe you just thought they were
regular Porsches, and then like,
2223
01:29:44,460 --> 01:29:47,340
once you've stolen it, and then
you're like, crap, now what?
2224
01:29:47,350 --> 01:29:47,930
Shit.
2225
01:29:47,970 --> 01:29:51,730
But that plays into the fact that you
see one 911, you've seen them all.
2226
01:29:51,790 --> 01:29:52,940
They all kind of do look the same.
2227
01:29:53,110 --> 01:29:55,320
Unit for a penny, unit for
a pound, is that the same?
2228
01:29:56,950 --> 01:29:58,190
Pass the point and overturn.
2229
01:29:58,400 --> 01:29:59,870
All right, Florida, what else you got?
2230
01:29:59,940 --> 01:30:01,020
There's another Florida man.
2231
01:30:01,250 --> 01:30:02,440
This one is interesting.
2232
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:06,260
I mean, what would you do if you
came outside to your Corvette?
2233
01:30:06,390 --> 01:30:07,710
There was a person inside of it.
2234
01:30:07,790 --> 01:30:08,980
You didn't know that person.
2235
01:30:09,350 --> 01:30:15,390
I'd hit the panic button and call 9 1 1
and then I'd get the biggest tool or axe
2236
01:30:15,390 --> 01:30:19,340
or something I could find in my garage
and I would stand there and wait with
2237
01:30:19,340 --> 01:30:21,560
the gentleman until the police showed up.
2238
01:30:21,660 --> 01:30:23,820
I mean, that's basically what
this person did aside from the
2239
01:30:23,870 --> 01:30:27,230
menacing weapon, but I don't know
how the guy got in the Corvette,
2240
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:28,759
but apparently he couldn't get it.
2241
01:30:28,970 --> 01:30:31,890
Out of the Corvette because he
got locked inside and couldn't
2242
01:30:31,890 --> 01:30:33,250
figure out how to open the door.
2243
01:30:33,300 --> 01:30:36,660
But apparently maybe you can't
open the door of these Corvettes
2244
01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:38,640
without the key present?
2245
01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:39,380
It's electric.
2246
01:30:39,410 --> 01:30:40,040
The new ones?
2247
01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:40,560
Okay.
2248
01:30:40,610 --> 01:30:42,200
The C7 is the same thing.
2249
01:30:42,250 --> 01:30:43,410
I've seen it in the C8.
2250
01:30:43,410 --> 01:30:46,710
It has this little kind of triangular
button that you hit on the handle.
2251
01:30:46,765 --> 01:30:49,495
But it's electric and it doesn't
work if you're not near the cars.
2252
01:30:49,525 --> 01:30:52,755
But how he got in to your point,
doesn't make a lot of sense.
2253
01:30:52,805 --> 01:30:53,985
Does it have frameless window?
2254
01:30:54,645 --> 01:30:58,105
They do, but you know, it didn't peel
back like it did on the cyber truck.
2255
01:30:58,145 --> 01:30:59,815
And it didn't alert the owner either.
2256
01:30:59,855 --> 01:31:02,605
So however he got in, that's
a Houdini right there.
2257
01:31:02,655 --> 01:31:04,365
Cause a car alarm should
have been going off.
2258
01:31:04,395 --> 01:31:06,785
I need to look up the
definition of this word.
2259
01:31:06,785 --> 01:31:10,095
I love how he is quote unquote, a suspect.
2260
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:12,730
He's not a suspect, he's a criminal.
2261
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:13,320
Right?
2262
01:31:13,420 --> 01:31:17,550
It says he was charged with burglary
of an unoccupied conveyance,
2263
01:31:17,610 --> 01:31:18,860
according to local media.
2264
01:31:18,870 --> 01:31:19,740
And I'm like, wait a minute.
2265
01:31:19,770 --> 01:31:21,140
Something that conveys.
2266
01:31:21,150 --> 01:31:23,070
So a vehicle would convey a person.
2267
01:31:23,140 --> 01:31:24,520
It has two definitions.
2268
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:29,020
The non lawyer definition is the action
or process of transporting someone or
2269
01:31:29,020 --> 01:31:30,930
something from one place to another.
2270
01:31:31,305 --> 01:31:31,915
Full stop.
2271
01:31:32,005 --> 01:31:36,495
The legal definition of conveyance
is the legal process of transferring
2272
01:31:36,495 --> 01:31:40,945
property from one owner to another,
neither of which apply here.
2273
01:31:40,975 --> 01:31:43,185
Sometimes authors try to use big words.
2274
01:31:43,225 --> 01:31:46,865
Why use a 50 word when
you can use two 1 words?
2275
01:31:46,925 --> 01:31:47,645
I mean, it's Florida.
2276
01:31:47,645 --> 01:31:50,255
Maybe they use the word
conveyance instead of vehicle.
2277
01:31:50,660 --> 01:31:53,220
This does not convey properly to me.
2278
01:31:53,390 --> 01:31:54,370
Alright, what else?
2279
01:31:54,450 --> 01:31:58,440
This one is a little different,
less on the funny side or whatever.
2280
01:31:58,510 --> 01:32:02,500
And we go up north to Michigan for
this, and this is Michigan Police.
2281
01:32:02,510 --> 01:32:07,020
So apparently there was somebody in
a, I don't know, older end of middle
2282
01:32:07,020 --> 01:32:09,190
aged, was having a medical emergency.
2283
01:32:09,265 --> 01:32:11,235
Which people didn't realize at the
time, but they were in a medical
2284
01:32:11,235 --> 01:32:15,095
emergency while they were driving
whatever GMC Sierra truck they were in.
2285
01:32:15,115 --> 01:32:17,815
And they were weaving on the road
and like hitting the curb and
2286
01:32:17,815 --> 01:32:19,105
kind of going up and coming down.
2287
01:32:19,155 --> 01:32:23,425
I believe the Dodgeball movie referred
to it as duck, dive, dit, duh.
2288
01:32:23,655 --> 01:32:25,005
Yes, all those things.
2289
01:32:25,065 --> 01:32:28,825
Because he was no longer in control of
his faculties and what was going on.
2290
01:32:28,825 --> 01:32:33,115
So these two officers in Ford
Explorer or whatever got alerted
2291
01:32:33,115 --> 01:32:35,035
or however and came onto the scene.
2292
01:32:35,075 --> 01:32:38,155
From the video, it didn't look
like the guy was going very fast.
2293
01:32:38,470 --> 01:32:40,970
I think he was in a coasting
mode, basically, because I don't
2294
01:32:40,970 --> 01:32:43,510
think he was feet on the pedals
or anything like that, so.
2295
01:32:43,710 --> 01:32:47,370
I would have thought you would have
pulled in front of the guy, let the
2296
01:32:47,370 --> 01:32:50,280
bumpers hit, slow him down, safely.
2297
01:32:50,490 --> 01:32:54,430
So no, instead, they decide to go
fast and furious, with the cop pulling
2298
01:32:54,430 --> 01:32:59,010
up next to the truck, the driver has
no control of, get as close as he
2299
01:32:59,010 --> 01:33:03,344
can while the other officer climbs
out of the window, into the car.
2300
01:33:03,445 --> 01:33:06,795
The other vehicle while they're still
moving and you see in the video when
2301
01:33:06,795 --> 01:33:10,935
she gets in she just hits the ignition
button and like shuts the vehicle off.
2302
01:33:10,945 --> 01:33:12,795
So I'm like you weren't
going very fast then.
2303
01:33:12,875 --> 01:33:14,155
He was going five miles an hour.
2304
01:33:14,205 --> 01:33:17,875
If you were able to do that, if you
were only going five miles an hour,
2305
01:33:17,875 --> 01:33:23,200
why would you risk Yourself by crawling
through one window to the other because
2306
01:33:23,210 --> 01:33:26,700
falling in between 2 vehicles and getting
run over at 5 miles an hour is the
2307
01:33:26,700 --> 01:33:30,370
same as falling in between 2 vehicles
and getting run over at 50 miles.
2308
01:33:30,420 --> 01:33:31,540
You're still getting run over.
2309
01:33:31,590 --> 01:33:33,110
It's going to not be pleasant.
2310
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:38,160
And oh, my God, such praise for the,
you know, whatever thinking and heroics.
2311
01:33:38,310 --> 01:33:42,240
Only because this worked out, because
if she'd fallen in between the cars, or
2312
01:33:42,250 --> 01:33:46,170
suddenly, like, he regained something and
turned the steering wheel, and suddenly
2313
01:33:46,170 --> 01:33:50,220
the gap between the cars opened, or the
gap's opening, she's hanging through,
2314
01:33:50,220 --> 01:33:52,550
and the other guy's like, Oh no, I
need to get closer, and then, like,
2315
01:33:52,550 --> 01:33:54,540
what, smashes her in between the cars?
2316
01:33:54,570 --> 01:33:57,359
Like, this could have ended
wrong in so many ways.
2317
01:33:57,520 --> 01:33:58,530
Yeah, for sure.
2318
01:33:58,570 --> 01:33:59,820
It's like, was it worth it?
2319
01:33:59,840 --> 01:34:00,800
Well, they're on TV.
2320
01:34:00,950 --> 01:34:01,910
We're talking about it.
2321
01:34:02,290 --> 01:34:02,890
That's true.
2322
01:34:02,900 --> 01:34:04,730
We are doing all of those things.
2323
01:34:04,830 --> 01:34:08,310
I'm trying to talk about it as a public
service announcement of stupidity.
2324
01:34:09,430 --> 01:34:11,460
And it's not like it was a semi.
2325
01:34:11,470 --> 01:34:12,830
It was a Silverado.
2326
01:34:12,950 --> 01:34:14,360
All of this could have been avoided.
2327
01:34:14,445 --> 01:34:14,955
Good for them.
2328
01:34:14,965 --> 01:34:19,365
I mean, I guess it comes full circle and
we can say there's happy stories too.
2329
01:34:19,405 --> 01:34:20,795
Well, it is a happy story.
2330
01:34:20,795 --> 01:34:22,245
They were able to stop the car.
2331
01:34:22,245 --> 01:34:23,175
Nobody else got hurt.
2332
01:34:23,205 --> 01:34:26,385
They were able to get the guy medical
attention for whatever was his ailment.
2333
01:34:26,385 --> 01:34:27,855
So it is a happy story.
2334
01:34:27,875 --> 01:34:30,905
I guarantee you they issued
him a citation afterwards.
2335
01:34:30,945 --> 01:34:32,815
Well, no, I don't think
he'd get a citation.
2336
01:34:32,815 --> 01:34:33,805
You wouldn't get a citation.
2337
01:34:33,955 --> 01:34:34,965
It's reckless driving.
2338
01:34:35,025 --> 01:34:37,325
If you had a stroke, whose fault is that?
2339
01:34:37,365 --> 01:34:38,045
That doesn't matter.
2340
01:34:38,345 --> 01:34:39,445
I am the law.
2341
01:34:40,355 --> 01:34:41,365
You live in America.
2342
01:34:41,365 --> 01:34:42,635
It's somebody's fault.
2343
01:34:42,695 --> 01:34:43,605
Exactly.
2344
01:34:43,615 --> 01:34:48,035
And that driver, even if he stroked out,
I guarantee you they gave him a citation.
2345
01:34:48,115 --> 01:34:51,575
He may not get any criminal penalties,
but he'll definitely get civil.
2346
01:34:51,645 --> 01:34:52,815
He's driving on the curb.
2347
01:34:52,815 --> 01:34:54,185
How many signs did he hit?
2348
01:34:54,255 --> 01:34:56,755
Damages, property, all that stuff.
2349
01:34:56,795 --> 01:34:59,885
Is that why they didn't want to
do the stop and front technique?
2350
01:34:59,935 --> 01:35:00,935
Because of insurance?
2351
01:35:01,130 --> 01:35:02,340
Yeah, yeah, there's that too.
2352
01:35:02,410 --> 01:35:02,970
My guess.
2353
01:35:02,970 --> 01:35:05,760
It was just a snap decision and they
didn't think about it at the time.
2354
01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:09,520
Probably at this snap decision
at this 5 mile an hour.
2355
01:35:11,610 --> 01:35:12,760
You could have stopped.
2356
01:35:12,870 --> 01:35:13,850
Okay, there you go.
2357
01:35:13,900 --> 01:35:16,990
If it was okay, we're going to go
with it was 5 miles an hour because
2358
01:35:16,990 --> 01:35:20,410
we talked about speeds of scooters
and walking and running earlier.
2359
01:35:20,460 --> 01:35:22,440
Yes, 5 miles an hour.
2360
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:26,820
You could have stopped your
cruiser, got out, and jogged up
2361
01:35:26,820 --> 01:35:28,890
to the dude and opened the door.
2362
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:31,970
Let's just say in the 90s this would
have been a lot easier because it
2363
01:35:32,020 --> 01:35:33,770
would have got carjacked at that speed.
2364
01:35:35,050 --> 01:35:37,040
I swear I thought I saw where
it said five miles an hour.
2365
01:35:38,750 --> 01:35:40,490
Oh man, never ceases.
2366
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:44,680
All right, well folks, it's time
we go behind the hit wall and
2367
01:35:44,680 --> 01:35:46,080
talk about motorsports news.
2368
01:35:46,300 --> 01:35:47,610
Formula One's back.
2369
01:35:47,930 --> 01:35:49,880
So much drama in the latest.
2370
01:35:50,285 --> 01:35:55,025
And the greatest, Adrian Newey, I hear
rumors he's going to Aston Martin.
2371
01:35:55,125 --> 01:35:55,785
Not a rumor.
2372
01:35:55,915 --> 01:35:58,655
They paid him Fort Knox money.
2373
01:35:58,795 --> 01:35:59,855
It begged the question.
2374
01:35:59,915 --> 01:36:03,065
We're going to see three time
world champion Fernando Alonso.
2375
01:36:03,225 --> 01:36:04,865
Thank you very much.
2376
01:36:04,935 --> 01:36:08,775
Oldest Formula One driver to win a
championship, right, at this point.
2377
01:36:08,955 --> 01:36:11,515
Does he stand a chance or are they
going to give him the pink slip?
2378
01:36:11,565 --> 01:36:14,525
His contracts are renewed, not
that they can't still get him out.
2379
01:36:14,525 --> 01:36:17,255
I don't remember for how many years
his contracts are renewed, but I would
2380
01:36:17,255 --> 01:36:19,425
say at least through 2025 he's there.
2381
01:36:19,425 --> 01:36:19,499
He's there.
2382
01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:24,770
if they're able to make car changes for
next season and if those car changes are
2383
01:36:24,770 --> 01:36:30,090
miraculously at the level of what red bull
used to be it's conceivable that fernando
2384
01:36:30,090 --> 01:36:33,070
could be a third time world champion i
suppose however the real question would
2385
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:38,780
be are there team orders that make lance
stroll one time world champion daddy
2386
01:36:38,780 --> 01:36:42,980
pays daddy gets what he wants Yeah,
but you still have to have some talent.
2387
01:36:43,270 --> 01:36:43,320
Who?
2388
01:36:44,410 --> 01:36:45,390
Are you kidding me?
2389
01:36:45,430 --> 01:36:48,730
This goes back to Formula
One, even to the 70s.
2390
01:36:48,780 --> 01:36:52,500
The best cars and the best money, and
it didn't really matter the driver.
2391
01:36:52,500 --> 01:36:54,560
If they wanted you to win,
they would make it happen.
2392
01:36:54,690 --> 01:36:58,000
Let's say they equal
the previous Red Bulls.
2393
01:36:58,140 --> 01:37:01,690
Verstappen and Perez were
always 1 2, 1 2, 1 2, 1 2, 1 2.
2394
01:37:01,700 --> 01:37:06,290
It's conceivable that they could be 1
2 also, and then at that point, uh oh.
2395
01:37:06,350 --> 01:37:09,620
And Alonso's paid to
play blocker for Lance.
2396
01:37:09,620 --> 01:37:09,684
He's the best.
2397
01:37:09,685 --> 01:37:12,055
That's a retirement gig,
which would just be bad.
2398
01:37:12,115 --> 01:37:12,535
I don't know.
2399
01:37:12,535 --> 01:37:16,135
That'd be the most pathetic
world champion win ever because
2400
01:37:16,135 --> 01:37:17,435
it's like, he didn't deserve it.
2401
01:37:18,515 --> 01:37:22,605
Take it back to 1979, Jody
Schecter and Gilles Villeneuve.
2402
01:37:22,655 --> 01:37:26,375
Villeneuve was under team orders from
Ferrari to basically play blocker.
2403
01:37:26,375 --> 01:37:29,495
He was faster than Schecter, but they
wanted Schecter to have the championship.
2404
01:37:29,575 --> 01:37:32,975
And so they forced him to
take a backseat for years.
2405
01:37:33,045 --> 01:37:33,715
That sucks.
2406
01:37:33,725 --> 01:37:35,935
And that's why I hate
the team orders thing.
2407
01:37:36,095 --> 01:37:40,095
I get it in the days of like,
preserve the car and this and that,
2408
01:37:40,095 --> 01:37:43,195
but I mean, again, there was cases
with Barrichello and Schumacher.
2409
01:37:43,195 --> 01:37:45,425
It was the same thing where
Barrichello could have run the race,
2410
01:37:45,455 --> 01:37:48,285
but he had to get out of the way
to let Schumacher through, right?
2411
01:37:48,325 --> 01:37:50,515
That's the part of
Formula One I don't like.
2412
01:37:50,565 --> 01:37:54,425
And that's where, Brad, you've said it
before, it's not a driver's championship,
2413
01:37:54,425 --> 01:37:56,064
it's a manufacturer's championship.
2414
01:37:56,065 --> 01:37:59,125
And currently, I believe,
McLaren is now winning that.
2415
01:38:00,015 --> 01:38:04,605
Good on Zach Brown, who, by the way,
was recently honored at the IMRRC
2416
01:38:04,645 --> 01:38:08,275
Artsinger Award for Motorsports
Achievement this past month.
2417
01:38:08,285 --> 01:38:11,985
There's a full article on that on
the IMRRC's website with pictures
2418
01:38:11,985 --> 01:38:12,775
and all that kind of stuff.
2419
01:38:12,785 --> 01:38:16,785
He celebrated that with Bobby Rahal,
who was the MC of the event and a
2420
01:38:16,785 --> 01:38:20,495
lot of other really cool people, and
fortunately was supposed to be there.
2421
01:38:20,495 --> 01:38:23,960
But due to life circumstances,
To get to go, but you know,
2422
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:24,880
there's always next year.
2423
01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:27,160
There's always another
honoree good for McLaren.
2424
01:38:27,230 --> 01:38:29,030
They're having their moment in the sun.
2425
01:38:29,090 --> 01:38:33,160
So, and that bright orange is very, very
reflective on the downslide of that.
2426
01:38:33,180 --> 01:38:36,050
Brad, are you, are you
getting a little blue?
2427
01:38:36,060 --> 01:38:38,970
Are you, your heartthrob might
be on the chopping block again?
2428
01:38:39,030 --> 01:38:39,820
Not surprised.
2429
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:41,670
He hasn't been the same
since he left Red Bull.
2430
01:38:41,690 --> 01:38:45,180
You've made bad decisions and
this is where he is and he's done.
2431
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:47,970
He left McLaren and now
they're front runners.
2432
01:38:48,050 --> 01:38:49,230
So is that the pattern?
2433
01:38:49,270 --> 01:38:52,070
Every time Daniela Ricardo leaves
a team, then they get better.
2434
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:52,950
Is that what we're seeing?
2435
01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:54,960
Yeah, but it didn't happen
to Renault slash Alpine.
2436
01:38:55,340 --> 01:38:58,350
So is he going to be signs
his teammate over Haas or
2437
01:38:58,350 --> 01:38:59,570
wherever the hell he ended up?
2438
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:00,420
Oh, he's going away.
2439
01:39:00,420 --> 01:39:01,910
There's too many junior guys.
2440
01:39:01,930 --> 01:39:05,070
He's going to be racing with
Brendan Hartley out in WEC.
2441
01:39:06,750 --> 01:39:09,270
You know, and that might be a
step in the right direction.
2442
01:39:09,340 --> 01:39:12,390
Or no, maybe he'll just race
in an Australian supercar.
2443
01:39:12,390 --> 01:39:13,530
He'll drive the new Toyota.
2444
01:39:13,590 --> 01:39:14,420
Oh, the super.
2445
01:39:14,510 --> 01:39:15,670
Yeah, that'd be really good for him.
2446
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:19,680
I mean, again, there have been other guys
that have left formula one and have had
2447
01:39:19,680 --> 01:39:23,610
amazing careers and other disciplines of
racing, and that's where I've made the
2448
01:39:23,610 --> 01:39:27,660
argument before, what would Verstappen be
like, or what would Hamilton be like if
2449
01:39:27,660 --> 01:39:31,810
they left their ivory towers of formula
one and tried to go race somewhere else?
2450
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:34,630
And we saw what happened
with Kimi and all those.
2451
01:39:34,630 --> 01:39:34,790
They just.
2452
01:39:35,070 --> 01:39:35,720
They suck.
2453
01:39:35,850 --> 01:39:38,180
Meanwhile, speaking of
Haas, there's some drama.
2454
01:39:38,220 --> 01:39:40,670
Well, I don't even know because
that's old drama because they've
2455
01:39:40,670 --> 01:39:45,680
already raced several races post this
declaration of after the Italian GP.
2456
01:39:45,680 --> 01:39:49,190
So it's like, I don't know what got seized
because the cars are still on the track.
2457
01:39:49,220 --> 01:39:52,320
Gene, Gene Haas called him and
said the checks in the mail.
2458
01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:53,180
Didn't he really?
2459
01:39:53,450 --> 01:39:56,160
He literally like in an interview
said, he said the checks in the
2460
01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:57,760
mail, like the funds were sent.
2461
01:39:57,790 --> 01:39:58,480
Get off my back.
2462
01:39:58,530 --> 01:39:59,440
Leave my cars alone.
2463
01:39:59,540 --> 01:39:59,870
Nice.
2464
01:40:00,025 --> 01:40:01,675
He probably sent it via MoneyGram.
2465
01:40:04,055 --> 01:40:06,275
Might as well use the
sponsorship, get that discount.
2466
01:40:06,435 --> 01:40:10,535
This is all a result of HeMightSpin
or Mazispin's dad, right?
2467
01:40:10,535 --> 01:40:13,705
This is all the Eurocoli
and all their investment.
2468
01:40:14,905 --> 01:40:15,995
Paying for everything.
2469
01:40:16,105 --> 01:40:16,475
Yeah.
2470
01:40:16,950 --> 01:40:18,820
Title sponsors, blah, blah, blah, blah.
2471
01:40:18,900 --> 01:40:23,050
And then with the invasion of Ukraine,
Russia got kicked out of everything.
2472
01:40:23,090 --> 01:40:23,330
Yeah.
2473
01:40:23,370 --> 01:40:24,590
And so did they.
2474
01:40:24,670 --> 01:40:28,360
And so they wanted their money back
for all the endorsement and sponsorship
2475
01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:30,550
and everything they paid into the cars.
2476
01:40:30,610 --> 01:40:33,870
It was like 12 million or something
that Jean wouldn't need to pay.
2477
01:40:33,945 --> 01:40:34,655
But he didn't.
2478
01:40:34,695 --> 01:40:37,965
Was it the full original amount
or is it like the prorated what
2479
01:40:37,965 --> 01:40:39,625
was left on the contract amount?
2480
01:40:39,735 --> 01:40:40,235
I don't know.
2481
01:40:40,285 --> 01:40:43,615
Cause I think it would be unfair to
be like, you know, the Karen scenario
2482
01:40:43,615 --> 01:40:46,515
where you're at the restaurant and
you've eaten seven eighths of the meal
2483
01:40:46,555 --> 01:40:49,035
and then you complained that it wasn't
any good and you found a hair in it.
2484
01:40:49,065 --> 01:40:52,515
Since Maz's spin crashed
several of the cars, I believe.
2485
01:40:52,555 --> 01:40:52,845
Yeah.
2486
01:40:52,895 --> 01:40:54,785
Like I'm not paying you back.
2487
01:40:55,465 --> 01:40:59,855
So other drama going on, Tanya,
you brought this up on our discord.
2488
01:41:00,015 --> 01:41:02,554
Sounds like the FIA is having
a little moment of silence.
2489
01:41:02,625 --> 01:41:06,385
censorship, which is dumb because
so there's two layers to it.
2490
01:41:06,385 --> 01:41:11,975
So there is rules within the FIA rulebook,
blah, blah, blah, around language.
2491
01:41:12,005 --> 01:41:16,165
It's particularly in regards to when
they're doing the press stuff and they're
2492
01:41:16,165 --> 01:41:17,875
actually in front of a whole audience.
2493
01:41:17,925 --> 01:41:19,205
People should be watching their language.
2494
01:41:19,275 --> 01:41:20,355
I don't disagree with that.
2495
01:41:20,365 --> 01:41:21,490
Like, It's unprofessional.
2496
01:41:21,490 --> 01:41:24,550
You don't need dropping f bombs when
somebody's asking you how your race went.
2497
01:41:24,590 --> 01:41:26,890
If you're getting a nut punch
from one of the other drivers,
2498
01:41:26,890 --> 01:41:27,990
you might curse a little bit.
2499
01:41:28,010 --> 01:41:33,110
Okay, that's extenuating circumstances,
but what actually has just literally
2500
01:41:33,110 --> 01:41:38,330
happened yesterday is Verstappen actually,
I think, has gotten penalized, reprimanded
2501
01:41:38,440 --> 01:41:42,170
at the very least, but I think some
sort of penalization because he cursed
2502
01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:46,290
on a live Singapore Press conference
because the next race is in Singapore.
2503
01:41:46,290 --> 01:41:50,160
First of all, I wouldn't do anything
remotely bad in the country of Singapore.
2504
01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:52,200
I don't know if he's getting
fined or something for it.
2505
01:41:52,210 --> 01:41:53,580
And it's like, dude, why?
2506
01:41:53,620 --> 01:41:54,570
Why do you need to do that?
2507
01:41:54,570 --> 01:41:54,820
Right?
2508
01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:56,430
And that is clearly in your rule book.
2509
01:41:56,610 --> 01:41:57,630
No excuse, right?
2510
01:41:57,630 --> 01:41:59,950
Like go cry yourself a river if
you're going to complain about it now.
2511
01:41:59,990 --> 01:42:04,060
But what they're trying to sounds
like almost extend is the driver
2512
01:42:04,060 --> 01:42:08,490
in the car when their adrenaline
is to the max and their life is on
2513
01:42:08,490 --> 01:42:11,050
the line and they're going 11 tens.
2514
01:42:11,245 --> 01:42:14,455
If they drop an F bomb, it's like,
you shouldn't be dropping F bombs.
2515
01:42:14,505 --> 01:42:15,645
Get the hell out of here!
2516
01:42:15,665 --> 01:42:17,545
On a closed radio system.
2517
01:42:17,565 --> 01:42:18,435
Well, no.
2518
01:42:18,505 --> 01:42:22,565
Because the problem is, with all
like, F1 TV and all this stuff, you
2519
01:42:22,565 --> 01:42:26,985
can go into individual people's feeds
and actually be hearing the radio.
2520
01:42:27,015 --> 01:42:30,605
And a lot of times they broadcast what
some of the commentary on the radios is.
2521
01:42:30,605 --> 01:42:32,945
So, one, don't broadcast it.
2522
01:42:33,025 --> 01:42:36,445
Two, stop making it, you know, Publicly
available, which is basically what all
2523
01:42:36,445 --> 01:42:40,335
the drivers are coming and saying is
like, don't let people listen to us then.
2524
01:42:40,445 --> 01:42:41,135
This is crap.
2525
01:42:41,195 --> 01:42:44,095
How can we control what we're saying
in the heat of a moment thing?
2526
01:42:44,145 --> 01:42:48,615
Every time they get hit by Ocon, I would
be cursing every expletive that existed.
2527
01:42:48,715 --> 01:42:51,845
I mean, if my teammate took me out
for no reason on like lap two, I'd be
2528
01:42:51,845 --> 01:42:53,465
like, what was this atmat for doing?
2529
01:42:54,965 --> 01:42:56,575
Or a total Elon move.
2530
01:42:56,595 --> 01:42:57,325
Go F yourself.
2531
01:42:57,385 --> 01:42:58,065
Yes.
2532
01:42:58,065 --> 01:42:59,545
Is it unsportsmanlike?
2533
01:42:59,555 --> 01:43:00,335
Blah, blah, blah.
2534
01:43:00,345 --> 01:43:06,145
Like, if someone is doing it in a
way that's super malicious or very
2535
01:43:06,235 --> 01:43:08,405
directed and pointed at someone, fine.
2536
01:43:08,475 --> 01:43:11,295
There is some level of reprimanding
that needs to take place.
2537
01:43:11,295 --> 01:43:13,655
But if you're on your team
rating and you're like, Fuck!
2538
01:43:13,725 --> 01:43:14,595
Sorry, guys.
2539
01:43:14,605 --> 01:43:15,535
Like, messed that up.
2540
01:43:15,535 --> 01:43:16,605
Like Who cares?
2541
01:43:16,605 --> 01:43:17,535
Move on with life.
2542
01:43:17,575 --> 01:43:21,315
Don't broadcast it then if we're worried
that somebody's sensitive and hearing it.
2543
01:43:21,335 --> 01:43:22,105
I think that's silly.
2544
01:43:22,135 --> 01:43:24,245
Hopefully it doesn't get put into effect.
2545
01:43:24,285 --> 01:43:25,115
That's just crap.
2546
01:43:25,445 --> 01:43:27,925
Well, it's also just the sport itself.
2547
01:43:27,985 --> 01:43:30,685
It has the luxury of
having the access to that.
2548
01:43:30,685 --> 01:43:31,655
You don't have that with like football.
2549
01:43:31,670 --> 01:43:34,240
Football or baseball or any
of those kinds of things.
2550
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:37,000
It's part of the realism of racing.
2551
01:43:37,090 --> 01:43:38,770
Like you said, these
guys are under stress.
2552
01:43:38,810 --> 01:43:41,200
They're under a lot of
load and shit happens.
2553
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:42,810
Let's just call a spade a spade.
2554
01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:45,350
And that was multiple
drivers comments too.
2555
01:43:45,350 --> 01:43:47,210
It's like, we're broadcasted.
2556
01:43:47,740 --> 01:43:48,750
That's why you hear it.
2557
01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:53,770
They're like, mic up anyone on the
soccer pitch or in a basketball game.
2558
01:43:53,780 --> 01:43:55,930
I guarantee you they're
cursing at each other.
2559
01:43:55,950 --> 01:43:56,970
You just can't hear it.
2560
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:00,720
And to that point, they actually
do Mike some individual players.
2561
01:44:01,055 --> 01:44:04,295
And some of those other sports,
they just don't broadcast.
2562
01:44:04,305 --> 01:44:07,535
They edit and filter out what
the general public hears.
2563
01:44:07,555 --> 01:44:11,754
But there are instances like Tanya just
mentioned, where they actually do mic
2564
01:44:11,755 --> 01:44:13,465
some of the players at these events.
2565
01:44:13,525 --> 01:44:17,585
They could do the same thing here too,
because if F1 TV feed or whatever,
2566
01:44:17,585 --> 01:44:21,335
they could put a delay on it and then
they could filter out the curse word.
2567
01:44:23,785 --> 01:44:24,665
Yeah, exactly.
2568
01:44:24,665 --> 01:44:26,925
What's a, what's a two or
three second delay going to do?
2569
01:44:26,980 --> 01:44:28,150
You for each team.
2570
01:44:28,150 --> 01:44:29,530
You got somebody sitting there to edit it.
2571
01:44:29,590 --> 01:44:30,940
It used to be seven seconds.
2572
01:44:30,940 --> 01:44:33,070
That gave them enough time to
filter that kind of stuff out.
2573
01:44:33,070 --> 01:44:35,800
And now with the AI technology
and everything else we have, it
2574
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:36,940
should be an automatic bleep.
2575
01:44:36,940 --> 01:44:37,570
Just bleep it.
2576
01:44:37,570 --> 01:44:38,650
You don't even have to filter it out.
2577
01:44:38,650 --> 01:44:39,160
Just bleep it.
2578
01:44:39,280 --> 01:44:39,580
Bleep.
2579
01:44:39,580 --> 01:44:39,910
Done.
2580
01:44:40,030 --> 01:44:40,660
Well, you know what?
2581
01:44:40,660 --> 01:44:41,800
Can't be bleeped out.
2582
01:44:41,860 --> 01:44:45,970
And I couldn't believe this
corporate espionage underfoot
2583
01:44:46,060 --> 01:44:47,470
in the world of IndyCar.
2584
01:44:47,500 --> 01:44:47,890
Wow.
2585
01:44:47,890 --> 01:44:48,670
What year are we in?
2586
01:44:49,150 --> 01:44:49,960
I know, right?
2587
01:44:50,020 --> 01:44:51,545
This is some cloak and dagger.
2588
01:44:52,050 --> 01:44:57,290
Spy versus spy stuff the way the story
reads and I love the headline It sounds
2589
01:44:57,290 --> 01:45:02,710
like super bad fbi agents carry out
operation at ray hall headquarters
2590
01:45:02,740 --> 01:45:04,490
You're like, what is this about?
2591
01:45:04,490 --> 01:45:05,760
Like, what did they do?
2592
01:45:05,770 --> 01:45:06,490
Who died?
2593
01:45:06,540 --> 01:45:10,580
Okay, whatever apparently they hired
somebody from andretti global came
2594
01:45:10,580 --> 01:45:16,235
over to ray hall's team and I don't
know if this person took intellectual
2595
01:45:16,235 --> 01:45:20,505
property from Andretti and then here's
my USB stick, plug it into the computer.
2596
01:45:20,505 --> 01:45:24,615
Or if it's like tried to do a
brain dump of everything he knew
2597
01:45:24,645 --> 01:45:26,305
and giving them an advantage.
2598
01:45:26,315 --> 01:45:27,835
You sign non competes.
2599
01:45:27,835 --> 01:45:30,755
You're supposed to be good
about that stuff and NDAs and
2600
01:45:30,755 --> 01:45:31,935
all those kinds of things.
2601
01:45:31,955 --> 01:45:32,915
But I don't know.
2602
01:45:32,985 --> 01:45:36,105
I'm curious to see how this plays
out, but there's really not any
2603
01:45:36,105 --> 01:45:39,505
more information than exactly
what's in this article from racer.
2604
01:45:39,675 --> 01:45:39,995
com.
2605
01:45:39,995 --> 01:45:40,435
It's just like.
2606
01:45:40,575 --> 01:45:43,365
The FBI went in and took all
their computers and I guess
2607
01:45:43,365 --> 01:45:44,235
they'll never get 'em back.
2608
01:45:44,235 --> 01:45:44,745
Who knows?
2609
01:45:44,745 --> 01:45:45,615
The shadow knows.
2610
01:45:45,705 --> 01:45:49,725
I also wanted to just say,
I learned something today.
2611
01:45:49,755 --> 01:45:57,345
Now I knew that you could watch WEC
races on HBO Max or just, it's just Max
2612
01:45:57,345 --> 01:46:03,135
now, which came in handy today because
Adam was home sick, so I needed to.
2613
01:46:03,305 --> 01:46:05,135
Watch him needed something to do.
2614
01:46:05,135 --> 01:46:08,385
So I put on something palatable that
a less than one year old would be able
2615
01:46:08,385 --> 01:46:12,355
to watch what I did not know that I'm
pleasantly surprised by is you can also
2616
01:46:12,355 --> 01:46:15,475
get the full MotoGP schedule as well.
2617
01:46:15,745 --> 01:46:20,885
So I was sitting there watching
Mark Marquez's return to glory,
2618
01:46:20,935 --> 01:46:22,505
catching some of that old stuff.
2619
01:46:22,565 --> 01:46:23,345
It was quite nice.
2620
01:46:23,355 --> 01:46:28,575
So if anybody's a motorcycle fan and has
been looking to try and watch the MotoGP
2621
01:46:28,575 --> 01:46:30,595
races, you can catch them on the max app.
2622
01:46:30,595 --> 01:46:32,345
They're also on TNT sports.
2623
01:46:32,450 --> 01:46:34,660
Which are sometimes broadcast on true TV.
2624
01:46:34,730 --> 01:46:36,620
And then all the WEC races are out there.
2625
01:46:36,620 --> 01:46:40,930
They were at CODA, I think September
1st, which was fun to watch.
2626
01:46:41,050 --> 01:46:42,090
I learned something new today.
2627
01:46:42,140 --> 01:46:45,610
And don't forget the IMSA
season is wrapping up here
2628
01:46:45,610 --> 01:46:47,150
in the early part of October.
2629
01:46:47,220 --> 01:46:47,940
Oh yeah.
2630
01:46:47,940 --> 01:46:49,269
They're going to Petit Le Mans.
2631
01:46:49,270 --> 01:46:49,910
Are you going?
2632
01:46:49,970 --> 01:46:51,370
I want to go so bad.
2633
01:46:52,035 --> 01:46:56,285
But I can't because of your
third child, we'll just say I'm
2634
01:46:56,295 --> 01:46:57,695
grounded for a little while.
2635
01:46:57,695 --> 01:47:01,335
But yes, if all had gone to plan, I
was going to meet up with some friends.
2636
01:47:01,335 --> 01:47:03,245
There's an ACO event going on down there.
2637
01:47:03,255 --> 01:47:05,825
A bunch of other stuff that weekend
would love to be a Petit Lamar.
2638
01:47:05,825 --> 01:47:07,605
I absolutely adore road Atlanta.
2639
01:47:07,605 --> 01:47:08,185
I think that's a.
2640
01:47:08,265 --> 01:47:11,035
Fantastic event, but you know,
sometimes it's not in the cards.
2641
01:47:11,035 --> 01:47:15,295
There's always next year, which I am
still hopeful to do a Lamont's classic.
2642
01:47:15,325 --> 01:47:16,695
So looking forward to that, but we'll see.
2643
01:47:16,725 --> 01:47:20,765
We'll see if I can swing France again,
that would be absolutely amazing.
2644
01:47:20,775 --> 01:47:21,895
But there's other cool stuff.
2645
01:47:21,915 --> 01:47:24,165
Goodwood, a million other
things I'd love to do.
2646
01:47:24,175 --> 01:47:25,735
Goodwood is on my bucket list.
2647
01:47:25,735 --> 01:47:27,335
Goodwood and the revival.
2648
01:47:27,375 --> 01:47:28,595
I want to do the Isle of Man.
2649
01:47:28,595 --> 01:47:32,985
I'm not a big bike guy when it
comes to following motorcycle,
2650
01:47:32,985 --> 01:47:34,365
like motor GP and all that stuff.
2651
01:47:34,365 --> 01:47:38,015
Like my dad was, but I'm like,
Isle of Man, be pretty cool.
2652
01:47:38,035 --> 01:47:41,325
Yeah, well, that wraps
up our motor sports news.
2653
01:47:41,325 --> 01:47:42,505
Oh wait, no, it doesn't.
2654
01:47:42,555 --> 01:47:45,345
We've got one more piece here and
that's from the virtual world.
2655
01:47:45,365 --> 01:47:48,725
So if you guys go back into this month's
catalog, you'll see that we did an episode
2656
01:47:48,725 --> 01:47:50,895
with Steffi Dow from Innit Esports.
2657
01:47:50,905 --> 01:47:53,985
She's a world champion motocross rider.
2658
01:47:54,085 --> 01:47:57,985
She's got a sim for STEM program and
something else called screen to speed.
2659
01:47:57,985 --> 01:48:01,095
And they have a lot of these tournaments
going on throughout the season and
2660
01:48:01,095 --> 01:48:02,695
they have one coming up right now.
2661
01:48:02,765 --> 01:48:06,199
They were looking for people to
qualify, to represent the United States.
2662
01:48:07,260 --> 01:48:08,120
eSports games.
2663
01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:11,740
We posted about this on our discord
and a couple other places where you can
2664
01:48:11,740 --> 01:48:16,240
get access to up to date information
from GTM and NPN headquarters.
2665
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:19,490
But what's really cool is you
can continue to follow the action
2666
01:48:19,570 --> 01:48:21,560
of the global eSports games.
2667
01:48:21,560 --> 01:48:22,960
You can join their discord.
2668
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:26,870
You can follow them on Twitch
and the real life finale.
2669
01:48:27,030 --> 01:48:31,500
Is either going to be in South
America or in Abu Dhabi, look for
2670
01:48:31,500 --> 01:48:35,320
that in December, but you can learn
more about what's going on in the
2671
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:37,460
global esports games at initesports.
2672
01:48:37,560 --> 01:48:39,440
gg.
2673
01:48:39,480 --> 01:48:43,120
Go from there, there'll be a link to
the global esports games qualifier
2674
01:48:43,120 --> 01:48:45,460
and the link and information
is also in our show notes.
2675
01:48:45,470 --> 01:48:49,700
So good luck to everybody from Init
Esports is going to be competing on this
2676
01:48:49,710 --> 01:48:52,020
global stage in the virtual racing world.
2677
01:48:52,175 --> 01:48:54,825
As a reminder, our Motorsports
News is brought to us in
2678
01:48:54,825 --> 01:48:57,505
partnership with the International
Motor Racing Research Center.
2679
01:48:57,615 --> 01:49:01,765
A couple quick teasers for
the remainder of the season.
2680
01:49:01,905 --> 01:49:05,205
As I mentioned before, there's a
write up, there's video, and other
2681
01:49:05,215 --> 01:49:08,665
coverage of the Argottsinger Awards
Night honoring Zach Brown, the
2682
01:49:08,665 --> 01:49:10,325
CEO of McLaren, at RacingArchives.
2683
01:49:11,055 --> 01:49:11,365
org.
2684
01:49:11,375 --> 01:49:14,210
We also posted a And some of it
on our clubhouse website, club.
2685
01:49:14,220 --> 01:49:15,200
gtmotorsports.
2686
01:49:15,210 --> 01:49:15,530
org.
2687
01:49:15,690 --> 01:49:19,920
And there's other racing outlets that you
probably subscribe to that are covering
2688
01:49:19,920 --> 01:49:21,890
the same press releases from the event.
2689
01:49:21,890 --> 01:49:22,890
So check that out.
2690
01:49:23,020 --> 01:49:24,170
I will say that racingarchives.
2691
01:49:24,700 --> 01:49:29,170
org is the only place to get access to
the YouTube video compilation that was
2692
01:49:29,170 --> 01:49:30,780
made for the events of that's there.
2693
01:49:30,830 --> 01:49:36,570
And don't forget at the tail end of
October, starting on the 31st Halloween.
2694
01:49:36,780 --> 01:49:41,170
The Real Wheel Film Festival kicks
off the 8th Annual Michael R.
2695
01:49:41,220 --> 01:49:43,790
Argettsinger Symposium
on Motorsports History.
2696
01:49:43,840 --> 01:49:46,910
If you can't come to the Glen
for any of that, we will be live
2697
01:49:46,910 --> 01:49:48,650
streaming it on our Twitch, twitch.

that throughout the rest of the season.
2703
01:50:04,545 --> 01:50:11,125
And you might recall that the IMRRC loves
to do a Corvette sweepstakes every year.
2704
01:50:11,155 --> 01:50:15,735
This year is no exception and
the Corvette sweepstakes is back.
2705
01:50:15,745 --> 01:50:17,905
It is running through spring of next year.

classroom session that was taken from
our time with our friends at EMRA.

So we're going to be putting

2793
01:54:39,310 --> 01:54:42,180
There's no sense in putting
it on our website, which is

01:54:42,200 --> 01:54:43,960
already an online magazine.
2795

2807
01:55:19,140 --> 01:55:20,810
Not that 5 0, we already did 5 0.

All right, and on that
bombshell Book him, Dan o!
2809
01:55:24,200 --> 01:55:25,190
Oh, look at this thing.
2810
01:55:25,500 --> 01:55:26,480
Does it actually work?
2811
01:55:27,960 --> 01:55:29,260
No, we cannot hear you at all.
2812
01:55:30,750 --> 01:55:32,920
Did you turn it off and
turn it back on again?
2813
01:55:33,030 --> 01:55:33,830
It plugged in.
2814
01:55:35,410 --> 01:55:36,110
Is it working now?
2815
01:55:36,485 --> 01:55:37,245
Yeah, it's working.
2816
01:55:37,415 --> 01:55:38,635
You were recording, right?
2817
01:55:38,785 --> 01:55:39,125
Oh, yeah.
2818
01:55:39,125 --> 01:55:39,494
Yeah.
2819
01:55:39,495 --> 01:55:40,085
I never hit stop.
2820
01:55:40,125 --> 01:55:40,485
Okay.
2821
01:55:40,485 --> 01:55:43,525
I didn't I didn't see the,
uh, I don't see the red dot.
2822
01:55:43,635 --> 01:55:44,945
No, it's up in the top corner.
2823
01:55:45,105 --> 01:55:45,595
Okay.
2824
01:55:45,905 --> 01:55:48,975
Ever since I got this thing, it's
just not been a pleasant experience.
2825
01:55:49,005 --> 01:55:50,385
And so I don't know.
2826
01:55:50,395 --> 01:55:52,285
But everybody says how good the yetis are.
2827
01:55:52,285 --> 01:55:54,325
They're supposed to be
made when they're working.
2828
01:55:54,325 --> 01:55:54,865
They're great.
2829
01:55:54,875 --> 01:56:01,115
Whoever I bought it from, you know, I
guess Amazon seller 23876524 just you.
2830
01:56:01,430 --> 01:56:04,730
Didn't sell me all the, the whole
thing packaged properly, I guess.
2831
01:56:04,990 --> 01:56:05,260
Yeah.
2832
01:56:05,270 --> 01:56:06,980
Well, I mean, you could get another cable.
2833
01:56:06,980 --> 01:56:08,780
I mean, especially USB C or whatever.
2834
01:56:08,780 --> 01:56:09,250
It's supposed to be.
2835
01:56:09,250 --> 01:56:11,730
So micro USB is hard to find these days.
2836
01:56:11,740 --> 01:56:12,820
Everything's USB C.
2837
01:56:12,820 --> 01:56:13,220
Yeah.
2838
01:56:13,340 --> 01:56:15,110
Anchor makes those things
like they're going.
2839
01:56:15,110 --> 01:56:16,770
So I need, I need to buy some.
2840
01:56:16,800 --> 01:56:17,880
So, yeah.
2841
01:56:17,990 --> 01:56:19,280
But how do I sound?
2842
01:56:19,360 --> 01:56:20,010
You sound good.
2843
01:56:20,010 --> 01:56:21,770
You sound not scratchy like before.
2844
01:56:21,810 --> 01:56:22,790
Not scratchy.
2845
01:56:22,790 --> 01:56:23,100
Okay.
2846
01:56:23,100 --> 01:56:24,280
Good, good, good, good.
2847
01:56:24,360 --> 01:56:25,450
What about volume wise?
2848
01:56:25,625 --> 01:56:26,285
No, you're good.
2849
01:56:26,395 --> 01:56:26,825
You're good.
2850
01:56:26,965 --> 01:56:27,295
Perfect.
2851
01:56:27,535 --> 01:56:27,945
Let's see.
2852
01:56:27,945 --> 01:56:31,245
Show notes, by the way, watch
out with your illegal mufflers.
2853
01:56:31,955 --> 01:56:32,145
Yeah.
2854
01:56:32,175 --> 01:56:32,685
Be careful.
2855
01:56:32,945 --> 01:56:34,135
My car's still on Jackson.
2856
01:56:34,135 --> 01:56:35,125
So I can't get a ticket.
2857
01:56:35,685 --> 01:56:36,245
I love it.
2858
01:56:38,915 --> 01:56:40,155
Well, that's that.
2859
01:56:40,185 --> 01:56:41,045
