Jackie.
00:01:45.468 --> 00:01:49.531
Well, apparently Jackie's video is having a little bit of an issue, but it looks like we got it by audio.
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:56.753
But you have to understand something he lives somewhere that nobody knows where that is.
00:01:59.141 --> 00:02:13.710
Thank goodness for GPS and breadcrumbs, corn, the long way, the long way that's Corn, the long way, the long way that's right the long way Because Cat Springs does anybody know where Cat Springs, Texas, is?

00:02:17.622 --> 00:02:22.048
Jackie Hanson, we hope that you can hear us, and we're not making fun.
00:02:22.180 --> 00:02:23.787
I'm trying to get him something here, okay.
00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:33.305
We're not trying to make fun of where he lives, it's just that it is.
00:02:33.305 --> 00:02:34.105
It is out there, it's a boogie.
00:02:34.105 --> 00:02:34.807
Yeah, it's a ways out there.
00:02:34.807 --> 00:02:42.522
Um, and to get out there you go out out i-10
Load full transcript
past sealy, and then you take a road to goes north and, uh, that's the best that I can tell you it.
00:02:42.543 --> 00:02:44.784
It's like it was like 50 miles, like 50 miles one way.
00:02:44.784 --> 00:02:45.967
Are you kidding me?
00:02:45.967 --> 00:02:48.149
Well, not off of I-10.
00:02:48.188 --> 00:02:50.471
No, no, it was total from house to house 50 miles.
00:02:50.471 --> 00:02:53.774
Yeah, it took us an hour to get out there, nice area.
00:02:54.093 --> 00:02:54.715
Beautiful area.
00:02:54.715 --> 00:02:56.075
Yeah, good country.
00:02:58.099 --> 00:03:00.990
It's just a little distance and I'm wondering if they have cats out there.
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:09.644
I have cats out there because it is cat springs.
00:03:09.644 --> 00:03:11.046
Well, is it cats springs or cat springs cat?
00:03:11.046 --> 00:03:11.608
I think.
00:03:11.608 --> 00:03:12.730
Well, cat cat singular, singular.
00:03:12.751 --> 00:03:25.729
Okay, I would believe, I would say, yeah, right well, at any rate, while we're waiting for jackie, um, you know if he has to be in cat springs, that's why we can't get him, because there is no cell service out there.
00:03:25.729 --> 00:03:28.526
You're lucky if you can do cup and string.
00:03:28.526 --> 00:03:29.409
Well, okay.
00:03:29.409 --> 00:03:31.887
So a couple of recalls for you.
00:03:31.887 --> 00:03:35.850
Ford F-150, lightning 23 to 24.
00:03:35.850 --> 00:03:40.512
Loss of steering from front control arm separation Ooh.
00:03:42.818 --> 00:03:44.024
Martha, those are two things you don't want to separate.
00:03:44.024 --> 00:03:45.820
No, martha, I think that something you don't want to separate, no Martha.
00:03:46.001 --> 00:03:49.230
I think that something's happened to the front suspension.
00:03:49.230 --> 00:03:51.106
Here we're sitting on the ground.
00:03:51.106 --> 00:03:52.506
Martha went right and I went left.
00:03:52.506 --> 00:03:58.111
Yep, also missing seat mounting bolts.
00:03:58.111 --> 00:03:59.957
What?
00:03:59.957 --> 00:04:04.748
As you press on the accelerator pedal, you wind up in the back seat.
00:04:06.231 --> 00:04:09.098
Wow, on the Kia EV9 for $24,000 and $25,000.
00:04:09.098 --> 00:04:10.302
And you got the EV.
00:04:10.302 --> 00:04:11.306
Kia, what Four?
00:04:11.306 --> 00:04:13.786
No, I got the K4.
00:04:13.786 --> 00:04:14.228
K4.
00:04:14.228 --> 00:04:19.194
Uh-huh, and I'm telling you it's pretty cool, it's a great looking car.
00:04:19.194 --> 00:04:19.836
Did you check for bolts?
00:04:19.836 --> 00:04:20.839
I did not.
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:22.677
I didn't look under the seats, but there's that.
00:04:22.677 --> 00:04:22.899
I did not.
00:04:22.899 --> 00:04:26.886
I didn't look under the seats, but there's that.
00:04:26.886 --> 00:04:35.963
I will tell you that some of the cars that I get are pretty interesting and I had not heard of the K4.
00:04:35.963 --> 00:04:41.074
As much as I got the ear to the ground on all the new cars, I'd not heard of them, especially EVs.
00:04:41.074 --> 00:04:44.932
And so they emailed me and said we're bringing you the K4.
00:04:44.932 --> 00:04:52.009
I'm thinking I don't know what a K44 is, I'll go out there and see it.
00:04:52.009 --> 00:05:02.045
When I see it go out there, I'm thinking huh, it's a four-door sedan, it's not an ev, because it doesn't have that big door to plug it in yeah and uh, it's got a two liter little four-cylinder engine in it.
00:05:02.547 --> 00:05:04.648
it's not not real fast, but that's not what it's about.
00:05:04.648 --> 00:05:09.232
It's about the price, and this one here is loaded up at $25,000.
00:05:09.232 --> 00:05:11.653
I think you can get in one for $21,000.
00:05:11.653 --> 00:05:25.093
I'm interested when you do the review on what it's comparable to you don't have to spoil it or anything, but it's strictly a four-cylinder turbo, yeah, and when I do the know I try to keep the prices together.
00:05:25.093 --> 00:05:29.788
So what else could you get for $21,000, $25,000?
00:05:29.788 --> 00:05:30.810
You can get the Invista.
00:05:31.572 --> 00:05:35.149
Can you the Buick Invista is like to start the basis $25,000.
00:05:35.149 --> 00:05:35.730
Interesting yeah.
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.519
So there are some cars out there that you don't have to pay $45,000.
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:40.803
And look, who's got the?
00:05:40.843 --> 00:05:41.607
Invista coming up.
00:05:41.607 --> 00:05:43.367
See there, good lead in Michael Is.
00:05:43.387 --> 00:05:44.192
And look who's got the Invista coming up.
00:05:44.192 --> 00:05:44.814
See there, good lead in Michael.
00:05:44.814 --> 00:05:45.559
Is it $25,000?
00:05:45.559 --> 00:05:45.819
Pretty close.
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:46.803
Base on it.
00:05:46.803 --> 00:05:48.355
Yes, a little bit less actually.
00:05:48.355 --> 00:05:48.620
There you go.
00:05:49.562 --> 00:05:50.425
See, I know, my Buicks.
00:05:50.425 --> 00:05:51.983
Wouldn't you really rather have a Buick?
00:05:54.891 --> 00:05:57.925
Just saying you know, you're showing your age.
00:05:57.985 --> 00:05:59.410
I know A lot.
00:06:00.661 --> 00:06:02.346
Me and Dinah Shore going through the.
00:06:02.949 --> 00:06:05.680
That would be see the USA in your Chevrolet, in your Chevrolet, yeah.
00:06:06.922 --> 00:06:08.548
And what was the one for Oldsmobile?
00:06:08.548 --> 00:06:12.446
This is not your father's Oldsmobile, something like that, or grandpa's Oldsmobile.
00:06:13.521 --> 00:06:14.545
Yeah, I have to think about that.
00:06:14.545 --> 00:06:21.927
I'm sure my cousin Doug out there is listening, so he'll probably know why Is Doug an Olds guy.
00:06:21.927 --> 00:06:24.425
Well, no, he's just a car guy.
00:06:24.425 --> 00:06:26.812
Okay, he would know he had a GTO.
00:06:26.812 --> 00:06:29.665
Gto or Le Mans Tempest, something of that nature.
00:06:29.665 --> 00:06:30.910
Hot rod guy.
00:06:31.259 --> 00:06:39.771
I have to tell you that you know, when you click on these old commercials every once in
a while on Facebook, then you start getting more of them.
00:06:39.771 --> 00:06:40.918
Yeah, oh my.
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:41.079
God.
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:41.732
And then you get focused on wow, that was cool, oh my God.
00:06:41.732 --> 00:06:43.137
And then you get focused on well, that was cool.
00:06:43.420 --> 00:06:44.906
And yeah, I hear what you're saying yeah.
00:06:44.906 --> 00:06:49.970
And I ask Leslie, because I send her all of these reels?
00:06:49.970 --> 00:06:53.045
Poor Leslie, I know I torture her with the reels.
00:06:53.045 --> 00:06:56.990
But there's also some commercials in there car commercials that are pretty cool too.
00:06:57.139 --> 00:07:01.130
But see, we remember the old commercials and the nostalgia things.
00:07:01.130 --> 00:07:03.187
And what do you have today to remember?
00:07:03.187 --> 00:07:15.612
Three cars doing the crab walk on an icy road, that's all choreographed, and you got a dog running slow motion through the snow and all that.
00:07:15.612 --> 00:07:17.446
Those aren't memorable.
00:07:17.446 --> 00:07:19.685
Those are stupid in my opinion.
00:07:19.685 --> 00:07:21.992
Okay, I don't like them, all right, change them.
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:26.189
So I guess that your application to the advertising marketing firm?
00:07:26.329 --> 00:07:27.591
is out the door, it's out the door.
00:07:27.651 --> 00:07:28.233
It's done.
00:07:28.233 --> 00:07:31.028
Well, look who's finally decided to show up.
00:07:31.028 --> 00:07:33.144
Wake up, Ladies and gentlemen.
00:07:33.144 --> 00:07:36.327
Mr Jackie Hansen, Fireman Jack as some people refer to him.
00:07:37.221 --> 00:07:37.963
Are you outside?
00:07:37.963 --> 00:07:38.786
Are you in the shop?
00:07:38.786 --> 00:07:39.127
Where are you?
00:07:39.127 --> 00:07:42.223
I'm in the cave, jackie.
00:07:42.223 --> 00:07:42.826
Can you hear us?
00:07:42.826 --> 00:07:45.255
Apparently not, uh-oh.
00:07:45.255 --> 00:07:51.062
Well, I have done nothing over here for him not to hear us, but that ain't my problem.
00:07:51.062 --> 00:07:53.997
So whenever you get that worked out, just let me know.
00:07:53.997 --> 00:08:24.351
Okay, gotcha, I wanted to bring up the fact that we've got some really cold temperatures coming our way, and if you have a car that sits outside, I really don't think that you're going to have to worry too much about a busted block because it's supposed to touch about 30 32 degrees for a couple of hours on the cusp yeah, on the cusp, but it's a kind of a wake-up call, so to speak.
00:08:24.351 --> 00:08:27.216
Um, to have your antifreeze checked.
00:08:27.216 --> 00:08:38.721
If you're one of those kind of people that really don't pay much attention to that sort of stuff, they make a real, very simple, very cheap little thing.
00:08:38.721 --> 00:08:47.163
That's about that big and it kind of looks like a little a mini version of a turkey baster.
00:08:47.750 --> 00:09:05.676
It's got four balls in it and you look at the ball color on
the chart and it basically will give you an obviously variable, but it gets you pretty close to how low your antifreeze is good for, and when they get to the blue one then it's really cold.
00:09:06.839 --> 00:09:08.423
Thank you, and it's like the pool.
00:09:08.423 --> 00:09:11.177
When you do the stuff in the pool, you check the water in the pool.
00:09:11.177 --> 00:09:11.880
For all that, yeah.
00:09:11.880 --> 00:09:24.518
So that means that you have to open up your radiator water supply thing and we talked about that a couple weeks ago for getting your vehicle ready for the winter, and Don's right, you've got to get it done.
00:09:25.549 --> 00:09:26.610
Well, I mean you don't want to.
00:09:26.610 --> 00:09:35.899
If your car is teetering on the edge of whether or not, yeah, whether you've even opened the hood the last year.
00:09:36.178 --> 00:09:38.900
Have you ever pulled a thermostat for the winter on your car?
00:09:39.302 --> 00:09:40.903
No, I never did that.
00:09:41.923 --> 00:09:43.765
You Once yeah, why?
00:09:43.765 --> 00:09:45.447
Well, just because we could.
00:09:47.414 --> 00:09:48.278
Because, you could?
00:09:48.318 --> 00:09:48.681
You were what?
00:09:48.681 --> 00:09:48.922
18?
00:09:48.922 --> 00:09:49.123
Teenagers?
00:09:49.123 --> 00:09:50.309
I was just going to say, let's do that.
00:09:50.409 --> 00:09:51.937
That ain't so easy to do nowadays.
00:09:52.129 --> 00:09:57.863
I put a freeze plug in the left side of a 350 motor in January.
00:09:57.863 --> 00:09:59.355
What a total pain that is.
00:09:59.355 --> 00:10:03.331
Oh, tell me about it and your hands are cold and you're under there with a hammer.
00:10:03.331 --> 00:10:07.436
I put headers on a car in the middle of the winter in an unheated garage.
00:10:07.436 --> 00:10:10.479
Oh God, in Detroit.
00:10:10.479 --> 00:10:16.504
Yeah, my mother-in-law's house, yeah, no, that was fun it took me forever.
00:10:16.644 --> 00:10:18.506
Did the garage have a concrete floor?
00:10:18.527 --> 00:10:24.095
Oh, yeah, Concrete dirty Because it was constant.
00:10:24.235 --> 00:10:29.500
in my era, most of the garages didn't have a concrete floor and you had the trouble light.
00:10:29.520 --> 00:10:30.241
You had to hang.
00:10:30.241 --> 00:10:35.910
It was always facing the wrong way, right in your eyes, and you busted your knuckles.
00:10:36.191 --> 00:10:37.052
We had rocks.
00:10:37.052 --> 00:10:39.974
I don't know why those crushed rock Pebbles.
00:10:39.974 --> 00:10:41.715
No, these were crushed.
00:10:41.715 --> 00:10:47.458
This was crushed rock that was in the garage, dirty, nasty, oh yeah, cold.
00:10:47.479 --> 00:10:58.285
Oh yeah, cold, yeah, and very cold because the dirt was frozen and then you fire it up and the negative cable from the starter was laying on the header.
00:10:58.285 --> 00:10:59.246
It melted.
00:10:59.246 --> 00:11:00.027
You got to drink.
00:11:00.027 --> 00:11:03.317
It's just a yeah, but it was cool when you had it.
00:11:03.317 --> 00:11:04.754
You don't do that stuff anymore.
00:11:04.754 --> 00:11:07.232
No, no, I mean, I'm too old to do that.
00:11:07.232 --> 00:11:09.178
I can't get on crawling around a car.
00:11:10.061 --> 00:11:14.720
No, well, I can, but I can't on the Corvette because it's too low to the ground.
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:15.461
No, you can't do that.
00:11:15.461 --> 00:11:20.316
I can't even use those hydraulic jacks that you know.
00:11:20.316 --> 00:11:26.225
You slide under the side and use a little electric motor and it pumps it up.
00:11:26.225 --> 00:11:27.514
It don't fit under there.
00:11:27.975 --> 00:11:29.360
Oh yeah, because you're on your vet.
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:33.115
No, I agree, we got Jackie.
00:11:33.816 --> 00:11:38.264
Well, I can see him and it says he's unmuted, but I don't think he can hear us yet.
00:11:41.078 --> 00:11:42.187
Jackie, can you hear us no?
00:11:44.558 --> 00:11:45.261
Hold up a sign, Jackie.
00:11:45.831 --> 00:11:46.835
He can see that he's waving.
00:11:46.835 --> 00:11:47.597
Put him up there, jeff.
00:11:47.597 --> 00:11:53.643
This is what we're looking at, while he he doesn't have any clue that we're even talking about him.
00:11:53.643 --> 00:11:59.636
He's looking at his phone with these texts that mars is sending him.
00:11:59.636 --> 00:12:02.864
Well, I don't know what I'm doing out here.
00:12:02.864 --> 00:12:05.273
We love you, jackie.
00:12:05.273 --> 00:12:12.003
Yeah, we do, and since this is all a big mess, we can make fun of you and you can't even hear us.
00:12:12.003 --> 00:12:12.602
That's right.
00:12:12.602 --> 00:12:13.445
You can't talk back.
00:12:13.445 --> 00:12:23.076
Okay, there was something else that I wanted to bring up what you need in your garage, those tools in a DIY garage.
00:12:23.210 --> 00:12:32.456
You sent that to me and I didn't really plug it into anything recent sent that to me and I didn't really plug it into anything recent.
00:12:32.475 --> 00:12:33.679
Those tools in a diy garage are permanent items.
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:36.389
Your socket, set floor, jack not need a replacement every few uses.
00:12:36.389 --> 00:12:48.179
However, tackling a project regularly, some of the things you might need a tub of chassis grease oh yeah, I've got a tub of grease in that cabinet right there.
00:12:51.029 --> 00:12:52.432
From when you hid your Edsel.
00:12:52.432 --> 00:12:54.174
I was waiting for you to see your Model T.
00:12:54.195 --> 00:12:58.461
Yeah, something like that Do you have a tub of grease in the garage, morris, not anymore you threw it out.
00:12:58.961 --> 00:13:01.104
Yep Got one in the kitchen called Crisco.
00:13:01.504 --> 00:13:05.634
Crisco yeah, that'd be one of those that would.
00:13:05.634 --> 00:13:10.937
It's a cooking oil yeah, right, but be one of those that would it's a cooking oil, right, but you'd have to really worry about the rats and stuff eating it away from the.
00:13:11.038 --> 00:13:15.893
So is the grease
the red bearing grease, or is it the black grease or the rear end?
00:13:15.993 --> 00:13:16.455
dope.
00:13:16.455 --> 00:13:18.836
No, it's dark grease.
00:13:18.836 --> 00:13:20.815
Yeah, that you'd slather.
00:13:21.110 --> 00:13:24.878
You know you used to pack bearings with yeah well, bearing grease is red, isn't it?
00:13:24.977 --> 00:13:31.917
No, no, it's almost a green, okay, Kind of Kind of a really dark, oily green.
00:13:32.630 --> 00:13:34.798
How about a medium-strength thread locker?
00:13:34.798 --> 00:13:36.038
Do you got any of that in your?
00:13:36.099 --> 00:13:36.764
tool chest.
00:13:37.046 --> 00:13:46.602
Medium-strength, so you can hold the threads, keep the thing in there, but it's not so tough that you're going to break the head off of it when you want to undo it.
00:13:46.602 --> 00:13:49.974
Medium stream how about dielectric grease?
00:13:50.095 --> 00:13:51.701
got some you got some of that.
00:13:51.701 --> 00:13:55.932
I got a tube of that wd-40 and penetrating all that graphite too.
00:13:55.932 --> 00:13:58.558
Yeah, yeah, how about starting fluid?
00:13:58.558 --> 00:14:01.423
Uh, I probably need to get a can, but I haven't.
00:14:01.423 --> 00:14:04.417
Occasionally I'll use it on the mower, if the you know.
00:14:04.596 --> 00:14:08.306
Just seasonal changes for yeah yeah, am I even talking to you?
00:14:08.306 --> 00:14:08.668
You?
00:14:08.688 --> 00:14:12.123
threw all that stuff out no, no, I've still got like the starter fluid.
00:14:12.123 --> 00:14:21.456
I use that because, like jeff said, you know if it's a month, two months sometimes before hairspray works pretty good too, but I know kind of gums thing is up I never tried hairspray.
00:14:21.475 --> 00:14:25.104
Well, tell me about anything in an aerosol can?
00:14:25.104 --> 00:14:29.441
Yeah, generally speaking, it will fire right up, so to speak.
00:14:29.441 --> 00:14:29.822
Probably darn.
00:14:29.822 --> 00:14:32.777
How about white lithium grease?
00:14:32.836 --> 00:14:35.695
I do, I've got some of that Yep Got a small can of that.
00:14:35.695 --> 00:14:37.375
Okay, what do you use lithium grease for?
00:14:37.375 --> 00:14:43.740
Last time I used it, I think, was for lubricating a hinge or something like that.
00:14:43.909 --> 00:14:45.091
I use it on my garage door.
00:14:45.292 --> 00:14:50.902
Door handles, dash parts and hinges white lithium grease.
00:14:50.902 --> 00:14:52.465
Carburetor cleaner.
00:14:54.350 --> 00:14:54.642
Do we even have any?
00:14:54.565 --> 00:14:55.008
carburetors anymore.
00:14:54.931 --> 00:14:57.624
That's kind of a universal thing, yeah, but that's a really good cleaner though.
00:14:57.784 --> 00:15:02.038
It's for hands, it's almost as good as brake or gasoline.
00:15:02.770 --> 00:15:06.909
I've been known to wash my hands in gasoline Not in a long time, it's been a long time.
00:15:06.909 --> 00:15:07.653
Then you dry it out.
00:15:07.653 --> 00:15:12.245
That's what gasoline is, isn't it?
00:15:12.245 --> 00:15:15.796
No, well, yeah, it is, but that's not what wax and grease remover is.
00:15:16.265 --> 00:15:19.596
Well, you got a degreaser you can put on your engine, but not for no, no, no.
00:15:21.466 --> 00:15:22.892
It's a wax and grease remover.
00:15:22.892 --> 00:15:24.613
I don't know about that.
00:15:24.613 --> 00:15:37.339
If you sanded down a part or just cleaned something up that you want to put a fresh coat of paint on, even a quick wipe down with a good wax and grease remover will leave the surface ready for paint.
00:15:37.339 --> 00:15:40.471
Brake cleaner oh my God.
00:15:40.471 --> 00:15:44.953
We use brake cleaner for everything.
00:15:44.953 --> 00:15:46.577
I love brake cleaner, yeah.
00:15:47.184 --> 00:15:52.736
In the aerosol, can Drop a couple down the carburetor to clean it out, smoke it, brake cleaner.
00:15:52.736 --> 00:15:55.288
We use transmission fluid, transmission fluid, same thing.
00:15:55.288 --> 00:15:57.294
And then you can put it on your tires to make them dark.
00:15:57.475 --> 00:15:58.995
Problem with transmission fluid.
00:15:58.995 --> 00:16:02.980
But now they have catalytic converters and it really screw up the catalytic converter.
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.381
Well, but you don't have carburetors to pour it down either.
00:16:05.381 --> 00:16:05.782
That's true.
00:16:06.566 --> 00:16:08.472
Engine degreaser we just talked about that.
00:16:08.472 --> 00:16:10.967
Glass cleaner got some up there.
00:16:10.967 --> 00:16:11.288
Plenty.
00:16:12.149 --> 00:16:16.359
Interior cleaner got that up there too Plenty A little vinyl cleaner and detailer.
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:27.351
Yeah, so those are just some of the things that you might want to have in your supply of stuff for the car In your repertoire, in your repertoire for the car.
00:16:27.605 --> 00:16:30.748
You know people do carry that stuff, like when you go on the hot rod tour.
00:16:30.748 --> 00:16:36.907
You go on one of the excursions, you keep a little box or a little tool kit for safety and other things.
00:16:36.907 --> 00:16:39.316
Keep a couple of small case box.
00:16:39.316 --> 00:16:41.163
They, yeah, they make smaller cans of that.
00:16:41.344 --> 00:16:52.133
You know pocket size, you know that's one of the nice things about that corvette it's got a couple of in the floor storage compartments in the back on either side.
00:16:52.133 --> 00:16:58.750
They're real big but you'd be amazed what you could stuff in there Rope, duct tape, shovel.
00:16:59.712 --> 00:17:00.895
Shovel you and your shovels.
00:17:00.895 --> 00:17:02.551
You got to get rid of the body.
00:17:04.006 --> 00:17:04.568
That's kind of what.
00:17:04.568 --> 00:17:05.586
I'm thinking I was going.
00:17:05.586 --> 00:17:10.384
Yeah, make sure you got the shovel, a sheet of plastic, In case the cat dies on the road.
00:17:10.746 --> 00:17:11.951
And a little bag of lime?
00:17:11.951 --> 00:17:14.769
Yeah, a bag of lime Is.
00:17:14.769 -->
00:17:16.615
And a little bag of lime?
00:17:16.615 --> 00:17:18.441
Yeah, a bag of lime, is that what you call it?
00:17:18.441 --> 00:17:22.044
It's to break down all the things.
00:17:22.044 --> 00:17:28.145
Yes, break down things, break down things, uh-huh.
00:17:28.145 --> 00:17:31.888
No, they throw it on dirt, for when they make roads and things, they throw lime down.
00:17:32.670 --> 00:17:35.172
Yeah Well, why would you carry a lime around?
00:17:35.172 --> 00:17:36.192
It may be, needed.
00:17:36.212 --> 00:17:36.834
You never know.
00:17:36.834 --> 00:17:37.314
That's right.
00:17:37.334 --> 00:17:42.679
If you've got a shovel and a bag, the DPS would really be interested in that if they found that in the truck.
00:17:42.679 --> 00:17:43.779
Hey, I'm a construction worker.
00:17:44.059 --> 00:17:45.080

00:22:16.916 --> 00:22:25.318
The dash and windscreen all lift as one and once on board you'll spot the OLED screen an aerodynamically inspired dash.
00:22:25.318 --> 00:22:30.457
Sustainable material choices augment the reality in the windscreen.
00:22:30.457 --> 00:22:47.765
There's lots of AI, of course, and lots of driver assistance Proving necessary, considering the unique characteristics of the powertrain the 2.5-liter V6 engine on board, powered here not by petrol, but by hydrogen, mike.
00:22:47.785 --> 00:22:48.548
The petrol is gas.
00:22:48.548 --> 00:22:50.734
On your end, I'll just let you know, thank you.
00:22:50.734 --> 00:22:57.316
The engine alone kicks out 435 horsepower and has but one job the power.
00:22:57.316 --> 00:23:02.694
The rear axle only, so you're only going to get the power from the ice engine to the back.
00:23:02.694 --> 00:23:15.267
Powering the front axle is a 200 horsepower electric motor powered by a 10 kilowatt battery, which together gives the new Enigma that's right, all-wheel drive, because that's what you want in it.
00:23:15.267 --> 00:23:18.489
Together gives the new Enigma that's right, all-wheel drive, because that's what you want in it.
00:23:18.489 --> 00:23:28.712
It also features the lower, the height of the bonnet, which is the front area of the vehicle, because the e-motors are smaller than the engine and thus the car with optimum aerodynamic coefficient.
00:23:29.353 --> 00:23:31.193
So it's not too massive.
00:23:31.193 --> 00:23:37.356
The long wheelbase, the truth, is fraction bigger than the BMW 3 Series, which should give you an idea of the size.
00:23:37.356 --> 00:23:42.358
It's not too heavy, the concept weighing in at around 3,726 pounds.
00:23:42.358 --> 00:23:45.579
So lots of expectation atop the streamlined physique.
00:23:45.579 --> 00:23:50.981
On one hand, it nods to the reimagined kind of car we all want to rediscover.
00:23:50.981 --> 00:23:52.782
We talked about that for auto shows.
00:23:52.782 --> 00:23:53.923
That's where this should be.
00:23:53.923 --> 00:23:56.465
So there you go.
00:23:56.465 --> 00:23:57.028
It's a very cool car.
00:23:57.028 --> 00:23:58.309
Hopefully they'll build it someday.
00:23:58.309 --> 00:24:01.057
Uh, I'm excited they ain't gonna build it.
00:24:01.176 --> 00:24:04.534
No, but it's, it's something it sure is nice to look at.
00:24:04.534 --> 00:24:10.652
Yep, absolutely all right time now on the in-wheel time car talk show for this hour's car review.
00:24:10.692 --> 00:24:21.855
Mr mars driving the buick invista everybody pay attention, yeah, pay attention this is the 2025 buick invista comes in three trim levels.
00:24:21.855 --> 00:24:29.556
It comes in the preferred, the sport touring and the avenue avenue avenue, and we were driving the sport touring.
00:24:29.556 --> 00:24:31.205
Now all trim levels are front wheel drive.
00:24:31.205 --> 00:24:33.471
All wheel drive is not available in this vehicle.
00:24:33.471 --> 00:24:36.877
Now it's classified as a small station wagon.
00:24:36.877 --> 00:24:39.212
Now in marketing terms that's called a small SUV.
00:24:39.212 --> 00:24:42.150
Now it seats five people.
00:24:43.232 --> 00:24:44.777
It's sculpted.
00:24:44.777 --> 00:24:46.230
It's kind of a sculpted car.
00:24:46.230 --> 00:24:47.374
It's one of those.
00:24:47.374 --> 00:24:49.573
It's not really a hatchback, it's not really a liftback.
00:24:49.573 --> 00:24:51.633
It's got a very sloped back to it.
00:24:51.633 --> 00:24:59.529
But the passenger area the front passengers in particular, they set.
00:24:59.529 --> 00:25:00.152
It's very tall.
00:25:00.152 --> 00:25:02.519
It's got a lot of headroom in it, so it's kind of a tall car in that regard.
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:05.729
It's got a great body color, the one we happen to be driving.
00:25:05.729 --> 00:25:07.954
The the door handles were body color.
00:25:07.954 --> 00:25:10.185
It's got black trim all the way around it.
00:25:10.185 --> 00:25:18.079
It's got the thin design led headlighting up front, daytime running lights, taillights, all LEDs.
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:20.814
Now it does have a manual liftgate on it.
00:25:20.814 --> 00:25:28.452
So that was kind of different concerning the things that we've been driving, but it's no big deal and it does have the new logo up front.
00:25:28.452 --> 00:25:29.830
A lot of people noticed that.
00:25:29.830 --> 00:25:31.892
I'm not really sure why.
00:25:31.892 --> 00:25:33.371
It's basically the same one.
00:25:33.371 --> 00:25:39.585
They changed the coloring, but a lot of people really noticed that we had the 18-inch black aluminum wheels, so it was a nice contrast.
00:25:39.826 --> 00:25:41.511
The Tri-Shield logo.
00:25:41.712 -->
00:25:44.669
Yes, One thing I did notice.
00:25:44.669 --> 00:25:48.837
I wanted to notice that on we were drooling, like I say, the 18-inch black aluminum wheels.
00:25:48.837 --> 00:25:56.219
The Monroney said we had a compact spare wheel and we had a compact spare tire.
00:25:56.219 --> 00:25:58.349
Two different listings on the sheet.
00:25:58.349 --> 00:26:00.717
I'm not sure why A tire and a wheel, and a wheel.
00:26:01.547 --> 00:26:02.770
I bet you they go together.
00:26:03.272 --> 00:26:06.854
Well, I don't know, but it was kind of unusual to read that they're separate.
00:26:07.626 --> 00:26:08.557
Here's both of them.
00:26:08.557 --> 00:26:09.144
Put them together.
00:26:09.184 --> 00:26:10.891
You can buy one or the other when you buy the car.
00:26:10.911 --> 00:26:11.673
That's it Okay.
00:26:15.644 --> 00:26:16.667
Had the leatherette seat seating trim we had.
00:26:16.667 --> 00:26:17.609
The optional front seats were heated.
00:26:17.609 --> 00:26:29.711
The rear seat is a 60 40s folding that folds down, uh, the vent, the monitor that goes across the dash it's actually two, but the way they've got it set up it looks like one 19 inch screen across there.
00:26:29.711 --> 00:26:30.933
It's 11 inch touchscreen.
00:26:30.933 --> 00:26:43.739
That's got all your nav, your convenience controls, your infotainment system, but the driver out of that has an eight inch driver uh information center right in front of me, but it kind of rolls together across the dash to look like one big one.
00:26:44.060 --> 00:26:46.087
The other thing I noticed about in the technology the.
00:26:46.087 --> 00:26:52.307
It is bluetooth, apple carplay, android, but the bluetooth will connect two devices on bluetooth.
00:26:52.307 --> 00:26:53.711
A lot of cars won't do that.
00:26:53.711 --> 00:26:56.316
So it's, you know, you got your one, that's it.
00:26:56.316 --> 00:27:01.855
This one will do two and it's got front USBs, rear USB charging.
00:27:02.096 --> 00:27:08.407
Only One thing I liked about this particular thing a lot of cars, particularly the last two EVs, I've been driving.
00:27:08.407 --> 00:27:11.050
When I got out of it I came back to it.
00:27:11.050 --> 00:27:15.492
I had to log back in my phone, log back into Apple CarPlay.
00:27:15.492 --> 00:27:19.513
This one, it's still in my pocket.
00:27:19.513 --> 00:27:25.019
I hadn't done anything, I hadn't even backed out of the driveway, and it found it and I thought that was very intuitive on the part of the system.
00:27:25.019 --> 00:27:36.682
Under the hood we had a 1.2 liter turbo, three-cylinder, 137 horsepower, 162 pound-feet of torque, backed by a six-speed automatic transmission.
00:27:36.682 --> 00:27:40.019
Now this vehicle only weighs 3,060 pounds.
00:27:40.019 --> 00:27:45.938
Epa says you should get 28 miles to the gallon in the city, epa 32, combined 30.
00:27:45.938 --> 00:27:50.902
Now I drove 307.5 miles and I got 30 miles per gallon average across that.
00:27:50.902 --> 00:27:54.640
Nice it was really, and there was highway miles included.
00:27:54.640 --> 00:28:00.143
Now I thought to me it had sportier handling than what you might expect from a Buick.
00:28:00.143 --> 00:28:05.295
It's not a race car by any means, but you could drive it Round curves pretty good.
00:28:05.295 --> 00:28:07.297
Felt like you were really driving something.
00:28:07.369 --> 00:28:09.056
It's relatively quiet out on the road.
00:28:09.056 --> 00:28:14.701
Even with a three-cylinder it's got its own little noise to it, but it's nothing you can't live with.
00:28:14.701 --> 00:28:17.619
Just talk to somebody and everything's all good.
00:28:18.711 --> 00:28:24.255
Here's what the motor sounds like hey, don't be dissing it Not quite like that.
00:28:24.275 --> 00:28:25.557
Yeah, come on.
00:28:25.739 --> 00:28:29.186
But all in all, I was very happy to be driving this vehicle.
00:28:29.186 --> 00:28:29.728
I'm glad you're happy.
00:28:29.748 --> 00:28:30.509
It's very pleasant to drive.
00:28:30.931 --> 00:28:34.240
Now the base model on this is $23,700.
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:35.063
That's amazing.
00:28:35.063 --> 00:28:36.750
Base trim price is $2,400.
00:28:36.750 --> 00:28:42.059
Now, as tested, $2,780.
00:28:42.059 --> 00:28:42.682
Still Nice.
00:28:42.682 --> 00:28:45.929
As tested 27,780.
00:28:45.929 --> 00:28:46.250
Still nice.
00:28:46.250 --> 00:28:48.030
Now.
00:28:48.030 --> 00:28:51.210
This includes a six-year 70,000-mile roadside assistance warranty and one year of free maintenance on that thing.
00:28:51.210 --> 00:28:53.897
Now you're looking for something to compare it to.
00:28:53.897 --> 00:28:56.109
The Chevrolet Trax starts at about $20,400.
00:28:56.109 --> 00:28:58.789
Mazda CX-30, $24,995.
00:28:58.789 --> 00:29:00.109
Kia Soul at $22,900.
00:29:00.109 --> 00:29:11.410
But the things that you're going to find in this vehicle, the little bit of technology that it's got, the way it works, the way it drives I was really impressed with this vehicle.
00:29:11.410 --> 00:29:16.849
In fact, I showed it to two of my kids my daughter and one of her granddaughters.
00:29:16.849 --> 00:29:20.809
When you get ready to buy a new car, you need to look at something like this for this price.
00:29:20.809 --> 00:29:24.737
Don't be out here looking at $50,000 cars Straight out of college.
00:29:24.910 --> 00:29:26.736
Yeah, because daddy's going to buy that.
00:29:27.136 --> 00:29:28.842
Yeah, or grandpa Somebody.
00:29:28.842 --> 00:29:37.096
But I thought, you know, I could see this being something that somebody coming out of college, a family just getting started, this would be a car you could buy.
00:29:37.096 --> 00:29:40.473
You could afford to buy it, make the payments and you're going to get a nice vehicle out of it.
00:29:40.473 --> 00:29:41.884
The payments and you're going to get a nice vehicle out of it.
00:29:41.884 --> 00:29:48.971
It's got that Buick level of quality in an SUV or a station wagon, excuse me as
your government calls it.
00:29:48.971 --> 00:29:50.810
I love mine.
00:29:50.810 --> 00:29:52.377
That's my review of the Buick Invista.
00:29:52.377 --> 00:29:54.176
