00:01:06.731 --> 00:01:11.438
If you're listening on a streaming product podcast, well, happy new year.

Or whenever you listen or join us.
00:01:13.725 --> 00:01:14.909
We got lots of them.
00:01:14.909 --> 00:01:22.165
As a matter of fact, mr Mars pulled some interesting information this week that he did to all of us, and that was what was the name of the.
00:01:22.165 --> 00:01:26.625
It was not Snapchat, spotify and Buzzsprout.
00:01:26.926 --> 00:01:28.388
Yeah, that's our host, yeah.
00:01:28.409 --> 00:01:31.516
And we're global, we're nationwide, we're beyond nationwide.
00:01:31.516 --> 00:01:40.031
73 countries, 73 countries around the globe, 75 countries.
00:01:40.031 --> 00:01:40.992
Is that what it?
00:01:41.072 --> 00:01:42.034
is 75?
00:01:42.034 --> 00:01:42.415
Oh.
00:01:42.694 --> 00:01:45.840
Anyway we just had it too, we just kind of bragging, yeah, bear with us, we don't get to do that very often, no, we don't, we don't.
00:01:46.322 --> 00:01:47.989
And so I thought there was some very interesting numbers there.
00:01:49.885 --> 00:01:52.316
Why don't you share with us Bragg on us, Mike.
00:01:52.316 --> 00:01:52.819
Well, I'm not sure.
00:01:53.621 --> 00:01:54.525
Why don't you share with us?
00:01:55.900 --> 00:02:03.326
Well, according to Buzzsprout, again, that's our host and that's where we get to Apple and Amazon and Spotify.
00:02:03.326 --> 00:02:05.608
We kind of they're a distribution for us.
00:02:05.608 --> 00:02:21.731
That's part of our distribution network and so, according to the information that they've got, the feedback they've got from everyone, we're in the top 50% of podcasts, all podcasts, not just automotive but all podcasts 75 countries, 31,500 downloads so far this year.
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.362
Which is good, because we just started doing that.
00:02:24.484 --> 00:02:27.449
Thank you very much, you all yes, and to all a good night.
00:02:27.870 --> 00:02:28.510
Yeah, yeah.
00:02:30.980 --> 00:02:32.926
So it's been a very good year for us.
00:02:32.926 --> 00:02:33.689
And how that works.
00:02:33.689 --> 00:02:35.445
The most popular city, of course, is Houston.
00:02:35.445 --> 00:02:38.468
That's where most of our listeners are, because we've been here for 12 years.
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.366
And we do a lot of remotes here locally and connect with a lot of the.
00:02:42.366 --> 00:02:44.790
Carfox here Part of the community yeah, absolutely yeah.
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:52.025
But second country, second best country that we have, is in Canada, then it's Australia and Germany and Mexico.
00:02:52.025 --> 00:02:55.108
That's the top five, including the United States.
00:02:55.108 --> 00:02:56.485
So we kind of get around.
00:02:56.485 --> 00:03:01.307
I thought it was interesting that Stevens Point, Wisconsin, is.
00:03:01.307 --> 00:03:08.729
The fourth largest group of listeners that we have is in Stevens.
00:03:08.748 --> 00:03:13.370
Point yeah, all my relatives they've all moved to Stevens Point.
00:03:13.370 --> 00:03:15.699
Interesting, all right.
00:03:15.699 --> 00:03:17.444
So we play this little game once a week.
00:03:17.444 --> 00:03:36.048
As a rule, when we have time we get it from Hemmingscom, and once a week they tell us all of the cars that have sold through their online auction site called Sold Cars Roundup, and people put their cars on there.
00:03:36.048 --> 00:03:44.810
I don't know how much it costs to post your car and go through the whole thing, but it's a bidding site, basically, that you control.
00:03:45.842 --> 00:03:47.225
Kind of their own version of eBay Motors.
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:56.772
So I have a couple right off the top of the bat here that we're going to talk to Jeff about mainly Okay Must be Cadillacs.
00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:58.342
Of course, because he's the big.
00:03:58.361 --> 00:03:58.804
Cadillac.
00:03:58.804 --> 00:04:12.389
So the first one up is and we're going to do these together, and now you'll see the reason why in a minute Jeff Broham, jeff Broham, jd Deacon, 1983, cadillac Coupe de Ville.
00:04:12.389 --> 00:04:24.134
Now I have to tell you I think it was about 1990-ish that I bought a brand new Cadillac Coupe de Ville.
00:04:24.134 --> 00:04:26.985
You did Well, not for me personally, but for the wife.
00:04:29.221 --> 00:04:30.002
Which one was it?
00:04:30.663 --> 00:04:31.884
Yeah, that's not it.
00:04:31.925 --> 00:04:32.584
But the Coupe de Ville.
00:04:32.584 --> 00:04:33.245
I didn't go there.
00:04:33.547 --> 00:04:35.509
I know he did so you shut up.
00:04:35.509 --> 00:04:36.990
I was just you shut up.
00:04:36.990 --> 00:04:38.492
Anyway, you all shut up.
00:04:38.492 --> 00:04:42.560
1983, cadillac Coupe de Ville.
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:43.904
This was the big two-door.
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:48.706
But the Coupe was the low end of the models, it was the two-door.
00:04:48.706 --> 00:04:49.649
It was the two-door.
00:04:49.668 --> 00:04:53.839
Yeah, the Coupe de Ville right, yeah, so 1983, coupe de Ville.
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:59.891
We're going to pair that with a 1991 Cadillac El Dorado.
00:04:59.992 --> 00:05:03.725
Bia Ritz, oh the Bia Ritz, those are awesome vehicles.
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:05.704
So that also was a two-door.
00:05:05.704 --> 00:05:08.827
It's a lot sportier, I would say.
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.644
But the 83 is a rear drive.
00:05:11.644 --> 00:05:15.132
The El Dorado by that time was a front-wheel drive.
00:05:15.151 --> 00:05:17.081
Correct If that makes a difference to you.
00:05:17.081 --> 00:05:20.870
I don't think most people really care one way or the other, but whatever.
00:05:20.870 --> 00:05:24.968
So let's start with the 83 Cadillac Coupe de Ville.
00:05:24.968 --> 00:05:30.069
Mr Mars, what do you think that that would go for on the used car roundup?
00:05:30.939 --> 00:05:34.665
By being himmings, I'm going to say it's a good shape, so I'm going to go for 12-5.
00:05:34.665 --> 00:05:35.951
12-5?
00:05:36.170 --> 00:05:36.894
8,500.
00:05:36.894 --> 00:05:38.300
8,500.
00:05:38.300 --> 00:05:38.781
Adventure.
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.242
That's cool 14.
00:05:43.146 --> 00:05:49.214
Okay, now let's move on to the 91 Cadillac Eldorado.
00:05:49.214 --> 00:05:53.928
Be a rat, so you weren't listening, he wasn't.
00:05:53.928 --> 00:05:57.437
Yeah, I said we're gonna pair these two and you'll see why in a minute.
00:05:57.437 --> 00:06:05.548
First of all they are Cadillacs, okay, and second of all they're Cadillacs, you'll see exactly.
00:06:05.548 --> 00:06:10.798
So what do you think, mr Mars, the 91 Cadillac Eldorado be a rinse would go for?
00:06:10.798 --> 00:06:20.194
I'll say 10, 10, conrad, seven, seven, jeffrey, 12, 12.
00:06:20.194 --> 00:06:29.725
Both cars Sold for drumroll $6,600 for both.
00:06:29.725 --> 00:06:30.807
Capita's up.
00:06:30.949 --> 00:06:33.115
No, no for the pair, for the pair.
00:06:34.646 --> 00:06:39.069
They both sold for $6,600 each.
00:06:39.069 --> 00:06:44.119
Yeah, yeah, yeah, which I thought was unusual in the fact that they both sold for the same amount of money.
00:06:44.119 --> 00:06:47.548
One was an 83 big Coop Deville.
00:06:47.548 --> 00:06:51.372
The other one was kind of a small 91, cadillac, eldorado.
00:06:51.372 --> 00:06:51.774
Be a Ritz.
00:06:51.774 --> 00:06:55.187
The be a Ritz was kind of the top of the line, yeah, fancy.
00:06:55.488 --> 00:06:55.850
I had.
00:06:55.850 --> 00:07:01.254
I had an elbow of that generation, except mine had an old one be a 5, 7 diesel in it.
00:07:01.254 --> 00:07:03.708
Oh lord, I'm sorry.
00:07:03.708 --> 00:07:06.855
Yeah, yeah like 35 miles to a gallon.
00:07:06.915 --> 00:07:07.177
Yeah.
00:07:08.545 --> 00:07:11.271
Running as long as it was running.
00:07:11.271 --> 00:07:12.935
Okay, here's a fun one ready.
00:07:13.016 --> 00:07:18.213
67 Chevrolet C10, but they call a square body it.
00:07:18.213 --> 00:07:20.132
Okay, whatever.
00:07:20.132 --> 00:07:22.004
67 Cadillac C10.
00:07:22.004 --> 00:07:23.968
It looks clean.
00:07:23.968 --> 00:07:32.153
Nothing special about it Now, granted, I don't know, I didn't dig that deep about Rust and mileage and all that stuff.
00:07:32.153 --> 00:07:37.312
It looks like a clean truck, 67 stock, looking clean, a dark brown or something.
00:07:37.312 --> 00:07:40.298
Long bed short bed it looks like a long bed.
00:07:40.298 --> 00:07:42.910
67 Chevy C10.
00:07:42.930 --> 00:07:44.514
Mars, and then things are popular.
00:07:45.115 --> 00:07:50.108
I would say 12, 5, 12, 5 15, 15, wow, I'll go in the middle 14.
00:07:50.389 --> 00:07:52.435
Okay, well, you're close.
00:07:52.435 --> 00:07:55.791
16 905 is what it sold for.
00:07:56.805 --> 00:08:10.497
Can you imagine I really it's remarkable how some of those older trucks have not just retained value, have exploded in value Steel dashes no pad is more than the like are you kidding?
00:08:10.577 --> 00:08:20.930
It is the basic no cruise control, probably no power windows or brakes and what I don't probably has a straight in line six in it, so that's okay even if it's got the 350.
00:08:20.971 --> 00:08:21.733
I don't understand you.
00:08:21.733 --> 00:08:31.834
For 16,000 you can't buy it and hot rod it, you know drop it the suspension or chop it or what the things that hot rod is Do, because you got too much money in it and it's too nice.
00:08:32.505 --> 00:08:33.307
Well then this one.
00:08:33.307 --> 00:08:34.490
It looks like it's a stock.
00:08:34.490 --> 00:08:38.139
It even has it looks like it's got trim rings on the wheels.
00:08:38.139 --> 00:08:39.269
So what do you do with it?
00:08:39.269 --> 00:08:40.914
I guess, drive it.
00:08:40.914 --> 00:08:46.365
Drive it, hot rod tour of Texas, just keep it running you know, be pretty easy to keep running.
00:08:46.628 --> 00:08:47.884
Let the patina fall on it.
00:08:47.945 --> 00:08:53.576
I don't like that truck that we saw at auto-rama this year that still had the plastic on the seats in the car.
00:08:53.576 --> 00:08:57.049
The truck was 2025, over in front of the bathroom.
00:08:57.230 --> 00:08:58.836
Yeah, that had been undelivered.
00:08:58.836 --> 00:09:00.289
Is that what it was?
00:09:00.289 --> 00:09:08.030
That's the way I looked at that, because not only did it still have the plastic on the seats, it had all the little Consumer tags on it.
00:09:08.030 --> 00:09:11.404
You know, here's the tag for the radio telling you what, what, what to do.
00:09:11.404 --> 00:09:15.594
There was a tag on the door for the power windows and stuff.
00:09:15.594 --> 00:09:20.793
That was kind of a cool truck, but you know who else has cars like that.
00:09:20.873 --> 00:09:43.931
Darryl was new ski Bayway group of automobile dealers and I went to his, his showroom of Private showroom, of his collection of classic cars and valuable Collector cars and he has one like not this particular truck, but he's got one and it was a Ford GT, still had all the plastic on the seats and everything.
00:09:43.990 --> 00:09:51.095
Oh yeah truly, and that's probably tripled in value 165 they originally were all right, a 1991.
00:09:51.134 --> 00:09:51.797
I had to do this.
00:09:51.797 --> 00:09:53.756
1991.
00:09:53.756 --> 00:09:57.153
Mercedes-benz 250 G D.
00:09:57.153 --> 00:09:59.825
It's a G wagon, basic right of Conrad's.
00:09:59.904 --> 00:10:01.291
Zola in 1991.
00:10:02.505 --> 00:10:06.033
I've never been a big fan of these, but because of, basically, the price.
00:10:06.033 --> 00:10:14.731
So this is a 91 2001, 2011, 2000 so it's 30 years old, is that right?
00:10:14.731 --> 00:10:17.217
Mm-hmm, okay, almost 35.
00:10:17.217 --> 00:10:21.591
91, mercedes-benz 250 G D 30,000 I.
00:10:22.947 --> 00:10:35.099
Was thinking 25 22 73,500 dollars Come on Exactly and it's been recalled All of them.
00:10:35.461 --> 00:10:37.166
It's been driven by a Kardashian.
00:10:37.815 --> 00:10:45.679
Here's a car that Chevrolet totally screwed the poo John when they built this thing, and the only reason being is it wasn't the first one.
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:49.567
Well, I know Won't be the last one 2004 Chevrolet SSR.
00:10:50.416 --> 00:10:52.783
Oh boy, I love the look of it.
00:10:52.783 --> 00:10:56.039
A dollar, a dollar.
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.427
But it was so under horsepower, it's just pathetic.
00:11:00.567 --> 00:11:02.777
It was a shame what they did to that, you know.
00:11:02.777 --> 00:11:05.087
Like you say, it was very appealing physically.
00:11:05.148 --> 00:11:11.094
I thought and it was a convertible, a hard top, convertible, yeah, a retractable hard top and it went down behind the seat.
00:11:11.094 --> 00:11:11.716
It was very cool.
00:11:11.716 --> 00:11:16.975
The bed was worthless because it had a cover over the solid cover over the top of it.
00:11:16.975 --> 00:11:19.159
It only lifted to like 30 degrees.
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:22.047
Yeah, I think she needs to go out.
00:11:22.126 --> 00:11:22.735
And they, they.
00:11:22.735 --> 00:11:27.687
They also sold as an accessory a storage unit that you could roll in and out of it Just so.
00:11:27.687 --> 00:11:28.596
Oh, I had.
00:11:28.596 --> 00:11:30.701
I probably had a dozen of them as company cars.
00:11:30.701 --> 00:11:37.006
I loved them, I thought they were fun, but if you took their clothes off it's a Chevy Trailblazer SS.
00:11:37.006 --> 00:11:43.402
The suspension, the drive train, the engine, all of that stuff was Chevy Trailblazer SS.
00:11:43.402 --> 00:11:51.629
So there was a version with the 400 horse V8 in it towards the end and you could get a six-speed manual.
00:11:51.629 --> 00:11:52.614
It was too late.
00:11:52.634 --> 00:11:54.818
By then They'd already ruined it.
00:11:54.818 --> 00:11:59.706
Yep, oh, anyway, all right, 2004.
00:11:59.706 --> 00:12:01.149
What do you think that that thing sold for?
00:12:03.355 --> 00:12:05.099
Mars 24.
00:12:05.941 --> 00:12:09.489
Really Okay, conrad, 18, 17.
00:12:09.489 --> 00:12:10.711
14.
00:12:10.711 --> 00:12:12.254
7 was what it sold for.
00:12:12.254 --> 00:12:19.408
I had to throw this one in there because it caught my attention the 1932 Chevrolet Confederate.
00:12:19.408 --> 00:12:21.779
Oh, it was a.
00:12:21.779 --> 00:12:24.206
It's a two-door convertible top.
00:12:24.206 --> 00:12:26.711
It's really cool looking.
00:12:26.711 --> 00:12:28.860
I'm gonna, I'm gonna put my finger over the price.
00:12:28.860 --> 00:12:36.005
You can't see it, but there you go oh, yeah, oh yeah, it looks like it's all stock Two-seater, uh-huh.
00:12:36.025 --> 00:12:36.548
Two-seater.
00:12:36.708 --> 00:12:38.676
Uh-huh, yeah, I'd never heard of a convertible.
00:12:38.676 --> 00:12:39.398
I've never heard of a convertible.
00:12:39.418 --> 00:12:40.620
Probably got a rumble seat in it too.
00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:41.023
Yeah, it does.
00:12:41.023 --> 00:12:51.048
Probably Big white whites on it, wire wheels I mean, it was fancy for the day I think there's one that comes out to Craig's every now and then I'd say 15.
00:12:51.328 --> 00:12:51.750
15?
00:12:51.750 --> 00:12:52.272
Mars.
00:12:52.272 --> 00:12:54.437
That's what I was gonna say, but I'll go up to 17.
00:12:54.457 --> 00:12:57.205
All right, Jeff, let's just go.
00:12:57.205 --> 00:12:59.289
How about 28, 875?
00:13:00.232 --> 00:13:02.400
Yeah, I wouldn't guess that I was gonna think maybe.
00:13:02.422 --> 00:13:05.876
Yeah, I kind of figured, you guys are gonna think low on that one, yeah, okay.
00:13:05.876 --> 00:13:07.000
Well, here's one for all of us.
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:11.532
The 1966 Pontiac GTO looks really clean.
00:13:11.532 --> 00:13:20.801
Red in color, it looks like it's got a black interior, got some aftermarket wheels on it, but it looks basically stock with some white-letter tires on it.
00:13:20.801 --> 00:13:21.663
It's very clean.
00:13:21.663 --> 00:13:22.565
I think I know this one.
00:13:22.565 --> 00:13:23.407
35.
00:13:23.407 --> 00:13:24.615
Oh, 35.
00:13:24.615 --> 00:13:25.717
Jeff, 32.
00:13:25.717 --> 00:13:27.519
Mars, 25.
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:28.201
25.
00:13:28.201 --> 00:13:30.083
$43,000.
00:13:30.083 --> 00:13:33.168
Wow, let's stay in the Pontiac family, shall we?
00:13:33.168 --> 00:13:33.870
65.
00:13:33.870 --> 00:13:39.664
Pontiac Bonneville, with skirts on the back but back wheel-opike skirts.
00:13:39.904 --> 00:13:40.405
Love skirts.
00:13:40.405 --> 00:13:44.340
What year is it A 65 Pontiac Bonneville.
00:13:44.721 --> 00:13:49.029
That car is like two zip codes long.
00:13:49.289 --> 00:13:51.153
It's a four-door sedan.
00:13:51.153 --> 00:13:52.437
Yeah, price it by weight?
00:13:52.437 --> 00:13:55.626
Yeah, pretty much, and scrap weight.
00:13:55.626 --> 00:13:57.793
It's very clean.
00:13:57.793 --> 00:13:58.936
Looks like it's been restored.
00:13:58.936 --> 00:14:02.763
All stock stuff, white-wall tires.
00:14:02.763 --> 00:14:07.169
I mean, back in the day this was a fancy car.
00:14:07.695 --> 00:14:12.029
The Bonneville was the performance sedan to Pontiac.
00:14:12.029 --> 00:14:13.354
My dad had a Catalina, so what?
00:14:13.374 --> 00:14:14.015
do you think Mars?
00:14:14.015 --> 00:14:16.260
I'm gonna say 15.
00:14:16.260 --> 00:14:17.523
15.
00:14:18.004 --> 00:14:19.547
Okay, I'm gonna go 25.
00:14:19.547 --> 00:14:20.168
, 22.
00:14:20.168 --> 00:14:21.051
, 22.
00:14:21.051 --> 00:14:25.501
Mars is the closest, without going over $16,800.
00:14:25.501 --> 00:14:31.660
I would buy that car, but I don't know where the heck I'd put it because you can't fit it in the garage.
00:14:31.660 --> 00:14:32.985
Yeah, you couldn't put it in your driveway.
00:14:32.985 --> 00:14:33.990
Well, that's pretty much it.
00:14:33.990 --> 00:14:36.678
A 51 Willis utility wagon, what's?
00:14:36.678 --> 00:14:37.620
He talking about.
00:14:37.620 --> 00:14:43.394
It's kind of like a Woody A 51 Willis utility wagon.
00:14:43.394 --> 00:14:48.448
It's a two-door, it's got what appears to be wood.
00:14:48.448 --> 00:14:49.913
I don't think it is, but whatever.
00:14:50.052 --> 00:14:52.500
Back before sport utilities were sport utilities.
00:14:52.620 --> 00:14:55.871
Yeah, back in this particular era it was like ugly.
00:14:55.871 --> 00:15:04.166
I don't think there's so tons of them, but anyway, 51 Willis utility wagon, I'll go 12.
00:15:04.166 --> 00:15:04.886
, 12.
00:15:04.886 --> 00:15:05.508
, 17.
00:15:05.508 --> 00:15:06.570
, 17.
00:15:06.570 --> 00:15:09.078
Mars, yeah, I'll go 16.
00:15:09.078 --> 00:15:10.844
$10,500.
00:15:10.844 --> 00:15:14.554
Yeah, yeah, another Pontiac Grand Prix 84 model.
00:15:14.554 --> 00:15:21.788
The Quad Square headlights, yep, quad Square headlights, the opera window in the back.
00:15:21.788 --> 00:15:26.179
It's a two-door Pontiac Grand Prix 84 model.
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:27.802
No 9,000.
00:15:27.802 --> 00:15:28.503
9,000.
00:15:30.346 --> 00:15:32.447
Conrad, I'll go 10.
00:15:32.447 --> 00:15:33.009
Okay.
00:15:33.370 --> 00:15:33.909
I'll go 12.
00:15:33.909 --> 00:15:34.635
12.
00:15:34.635 --> 00:15:36.178
$8,600.
00:15:36.178 --> 00:15:39.868
That would be a fun car to have in the garage.
00:15:39.868 --> 00:15:44.839
Yeah, and finally, we're going to do the 56 Volkswagen Beetle.
00:15:44.839 --> 00:15:50.347
A 56 Volkswagen Beetle that we've all grown up with.
00:15:50.347 --> 00:15:51.409
It's been around forever.
00:15:51.409 --> 00:15:54.403
The only thing that defined the years back then.
00:15:54.725 --> 00:15:56.210
Was it zero to 60 time?
00:15:56.210 --> 00:16:06.285
It took years to get to 60 miles an hour and a long downhill and that back window Remember it started off as that little round the original ones were oval split windows.
00:16:06.285 --> 00:16:10.201
Yeah, oh then, they changed to an oval, and then they changed to the bigger window.
00:16:10.221 --> 00:16:13.980
Yeah Well, this one appears to have the bigger window, but it's still a 56.
00:16:13.980 --> 00:16:15.625
Not that made any difference really.
00:16:15.625 --> 00:16:19.940
I guess that they kind of made modifications to the engine, but very little.
00:16:20.741 --> 00:16:23.350
Yeah, a whole 42 horsepower, probably, yep.
00:16:23.831 --> 00:16:31.969
So a 56 Volkswagen Beetle, extra clean looking black, with a red interior, white wall tires, what do you think?
00:16:31.969 --> 00:16:32.417
12.
00:16:32.417 --> 00:16:33.402
, 12.
00:16:33.402 --> 00:16:33.724
, 8.
00:16:33.724 --> 00:16:34.488
, 8.
00:16:34.488 --> 00:16:35.351
, 10.
00:16:35.351 --> 00:16:37.403
Well, all of you have missed it.
00:16:37.403 --> 00:16:39.394
By a ton $23,100.
00:16:40.057 --> 00:16:42.321
Oh boy, that's the sold price.
00:16:42.380 --> 00:16:43.182
That's the sold price.
00:16:43.182 --> 00:16:44.085
Probably got an LS in.
00:16:44.125 --> 00:16:46.355
it Must have hidden something else in there.
00:16:46.414 --> 00:16:48.203
Well, it's probably been fully restored.
00:16:48.203 --> 00:16:50.335
Yeah, because it looks like it's a brand new car.
00:16:50.434 --> 00:16:52.144
Well, I was thinking with the red interior.
00:16:52.144 --> 00:16:55.139
I don't think I ever saw a red interior no, I don't think there were any.
00:16:55.139 --> 00:16:56.979
So somebody, somebody's been working on it.
00:16:57.019 --> 00:17:00.678
Yeah exactly yeah, and I think it's a little overpriced.
00:17:00.678 --> 00:17:02.924
But whatever, cool car it is.
00:17:04.778 --> 00:17:07.544
But don't mind for speed, that's for sure.
00:17:08.194 --> 00:17:09.960
Jeff has a special feature for us.
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:11.021
Oh okay, Let me pull that up.
00:17:11.383 --> 00:17:16.824
Okay, and when you told me you were going to do this, I thought how perfect, love it.
00:17:17.224 --> 00:17:17.705
Let's do it.
00:17:17.705 --> 00:17:23.804
Well, this is all about Santa, since it is his time of the reason for the season.
00:17:23.804 --> 00:17:25.066
Yeah, reason for the season.
00:17:25.066 --> 00:17:27.936
Excuse me and let me get this going here.
00:17:27.936 --> 00:17:29.641
You ready?
00:17:29.641 --> 00:17:30.462
Yeah, all right.
00:17:30.462 --> 00:17:39.961
So Santa's sleigh looks charming, though it seems to be antiquated, but we suspect it's way more cutting edge than he lets on.
00:17:40.342 --> 00:17:40.844
Think about it.
00:17:40.844 --> 00:17:44.693
Does it make sense that Santa's elves would have adopted an autopilot system?
00:17:44.693 --> 00:17:47.061
That would give any Tesla a run for its money?
00:17:47.061 --> 00:17:56.611
For safety, the sleigh is equipped with a special blind spot monitoring system specifically designed to alert Santa and the reindeer to the presence of aircraft and large birds.
00:17:56.611 --> 00:18:06.885
The sleigh's typical rear view camera would also get an upgrade and is likely designed to scan in every direction to ensure Santa's path is always clear for takeoff and landing.
00:18:06.885 --> 00:18:11.144
The system would most likely be aided by thermal imaging.
00:18:11.144 --> 00:18:23.682
The sleigh's dashboard, as you see there, is dominated by Santa's own GPS navigation, so the elves could map out Santa's millions of stops before Christmas Eve, just to make sure Santa doesn't miss anyone.
00:18:23.682 --> 00:18:27.240
The sleigh definitely has a built-in naughty or nice sensor mic.
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:31.525
Santa updated on children's activities right down to the last minute.
00:18:31.525 --> 00:18:40.144
This is important, as even the most minor of naughty deeds Conrad committed within the final few hours of December 24.
00:18:40.234 --> 00:18:41.862
Dirty deeds, wasn't that to ACDs?
00:18:41.862 --> 00:18:43.500
Dirty deeds, yeah.
00:18:44.675 --> 00:18:45.258
Dirty deeds.
00:18:45.258 --> 00:18:49.444
This pedometer on the sleigh's dashboard allows Santa to monitor his flying speed.
00:18:49.444 --> 00:18:55.317
State of the art radio keeps him constant touch with Mrs Claus and the team at the North Pole.
00:18:55.317 --> 00:19:00.185
They send him minute-to-minute updates on local weather reports and toy inventory.
00:19:00.185 --> 00:19:08.998
That's very important, Okay, well, moving on when it comes to Santa's toy bag, you're probably wondering how he fits all his presents in one bag.
00:19:08.998 --> 00:19:13.423
Think of a multi-dimensional present compartment in the form of a traditional gift sack.
00:19:13.423 --> 00:19:18.965
Santa's toy bag, as we know it really acts as a portal between the sleigh and the North Pole.
00:19:18.965 --> 00:19:21.402
I couldn't figure that out until I'm this age.
00:19:21.402 --> 00:19:23.301
Be me more toys, Scotty.
00:19:23.301 --> 00:19:33.086
However, we'd also like to think that Santa may have harnessed the power of nanotechnology and found a way to miniaturize millions of presents into one large bag.
00:19:33.086 --> 00:19:37.044
This information does seem to be a little unconfirmed, though.
00:19:37.795 --> 00:19:41.829
Santa's sleigh incorporates a stardust antimatter propulsion unit for power.
00:19:41.829 --> 00:19:46.724
That is still very real possibilities here in today's vehicles.
00:19:46.724 --> 00:19:47.836
Here's how it works.
00:19:47.836 --> 00:19:55.355
Antimatter is the opposite of regular matter, the mere image of normal particles that make up everything we can see or touch.
00:19:55.355 --> 00:19:59.632
The big draw to antimatter is the amount of energy it helps create.
00:19:59.632 --> 00:20:08.441
When antimatter and matter come into contact, they alienate each other, breaking apart into tons of smaller particles and 100% of their masses convert to energy.
00:20:08.441 --> 00:20:10.838
That's how he gets around Conrad, Star Trek.
00:20:11.401 --> 00:20:23.440
We have reason to believe Santa's clever elves would have figured out a way to combine this stardust antimatter propulsion unit with electric motor for high-tech, one-of-a-kind hybrid power train of the sleigh.
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:24.502
So it's an EV?
00:20:24.502 --> 00:20:25.530
Yeah, could be.
00:20:25.530 --> 00:20:29.681
We bet, for example, that the sleigh is the slaves, the elves.
00:20:29.681 --> 00:20:32.532
That's a different one.
00:20:32.532 --> 00:20:33.996
That's a different holiday.
00:20:33.996 --> 00:20:44.121
Mike the elves have borrowed a trick from the mainstream automakers and installed Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.
00:20:44.121 --> 00:20:49.856
We won't speculate whether Santa's a Google guy or an Apple aficionado, but the sleigh is probably equipped with either.
00:20:49.856 --> 00:20:53.488
Or Santa can use his voice recognition to text Mrs Claus.
00:20:53.488 --> 00:20:59.108
Catch up on his favorite in-wheel time podcast during the Christmas ride playlist Catch up.
00:20:59.108 --> 00:21:00.012
There you go.
00:21:00.796 --> 00:21:01.539
You like catch up?
00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:02.704
Catch up on everything.
00:21:02.704 --> 00:21:03.567
Yeah, catch up on everything.
00:21:03.588 --> 00:21:11.882
That was very nice, I liked that we do have some more of the stop sale or stop sale.
00:21:11.942 --> 00:21:13.443
Is that just insanity?
00:21:13.443 --> 00:21:15.835
Insanity General.
00:21:15.875 --> 00:21:26.102
Motors is issued a stop sale order on nearly 3,000 of its highly profitable Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickups because of a roof issue.
00:21:26.102 --> 00:21:32.743
It affects only some of them the roof panel split defect.
00:21:32.743 --> 00:21:38.364
The spokesperson said the issue has been corrected and additional production should not be affected.
00:21:38.364 --> 00:21:45.863
Customers with affected Silverados or Sierra are being instructed to contact a dealership to schedule a repair.
00:21:45.863 --> 00:22:08.922
Do not, do not take it to the car wash, or better yet, if you really want to know if it's working or not, if the split has happened, then take it to the car wash and you'll find out real quick, because it's basically right up there at the roof rail where they put together the roof top and the surround around the door Up on the roof top click, click, click.
00:22:09.343 --> 00:22:10.530
My roof came off.
00:22:10.530 --> 00:22:12.375
Now I'm sick.
00:22:14.821 --> 00:22:16.286
That's it, okay, all right.
00:22:16.526 --> 00:22:18.411
Shout out to the Emmons Racing Team.
00:22:18.411 --> 00:22:19.792
Thanks for joining us this morning.

Employment Opportunity Commission is suing South Austin Nissan here in Texas and its owners, accusing them of creating a sexually hostile work environment.
00:23:49.040 --> 00:23:50.465
This is from Automotive News.
00:23:50.465 --> 00:24:01.871

The allegations include inappropriate comments he was a busy guy touching and propositions the dealerships.
00:24:09.212 --> 00:24:17.022
Former general sales manager also alleges that he tried to report these behaviors to the group's human resources director and its COO.
00:24:17.022 --> 00:24:24.980
The former general sales manager also transferred his pay cut and eventually terminated in retaliation.
00:24:24.980 --> 00:24:37.381
The complaint alleges the commission claims South Austin Nissan and owner Nick Puh NICPA Central Auto Group in Houston violated US civil rights law.
00:24:37.381 --> 00:24:48.734
The lawsuit seeks that the store eradicate the effects of its past and present unlawful employment practices and compensate those impacted for lost income and emotional harm.
00:24:49.396 --> 00:24:54.694
South Austin Nissan and NICPA Central Auto Group threw a lawyer declined to comment on the allegations.
00:24:54.694 --> 00:24:57.968
Not clear if the three managers still work for the dealership or group.
00:24:57.968 --> 00:25:01.396
They're not listed in the South Austin Nissan website staff page.
00:25:01.396 --> 00:25:09.027
The EEOC claims in its complaint that the unlawful practices span beyond the three named female employees.
00:25:09.027 --> 00:25:15.933
For example, lawsuit alleges that one manager often encouraged female employees to wear revealing clothing to sell more cars.
00:25:15.933 --> 00:25:17.400
That's what I used to do.
00:25:17.460 --> 00:25:19.887
I was gonna say that wouldn't be the first time I've heard that one.
00:25:19.887 --> 00:25:20.430
I used to do that.
00:25:20.470 --> 00:25:20.750
Yeah.
00:25:20.750 --> 00:25:33.054
In the complaint, one of the former saleswoman women accused the then general manager of asking her what would happen if he kissed her, and another time he rubbed his pelvis against her while staring at her breasts.
00:25:33.054 --> 00:25:35.739
She terminated in May of 2022.
00:25:35.739 --> 00:25:43.815

Third saleswoman accused the used vehicle sales manager of commenting on her body and clothing, as well as telling sexually explicit stories about himself.
00:25:52.729 --> 00:25:53.932
Keeping Austin weird.
00:25:54.634 --> 00:25:59.079
The latter two women were constructively discharged as a result of the harassment.
00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:04.421
According to the complaint, all three women claim they reported the inappropriate behavior to superiors but were ignored.
00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:13.211
They had clean house there If I were a husband of one of those women I would be.
00:26:14.114 --> 00:26:16.760
I rate they'd have to call the Austin police department.
00:26:16.942 --> 00:26:19.990
Yeah, and you'd be arrested, but not the perv.
00:26:20.029 --> 00:26:20.250

In today's world that still happens out of your mind, completely out of your mind.
00:26:28.865 --> 00:26:34.260
You know, but in several years ago I knew of a dealer there in a mid county.
00:26:34.260 --> 00:26:38.491
He actually fired one of his used car people for being that way.
00:26:38.491 --> 00:26:42.086
I mean he was so scuzzy that he he's scuzzy.
00:26:42.125 --> 00:26:43.308
