Click here to share your favorite car, car story or any automotive trivia!
Dive into car culture and automotive nostalgia with Christian & Doug as Deputy Dave (paramedic-turned-sheriff, actor, and VW superfan) shares unforgettable car stories. We hit everything from his laundau-top 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass, 1967 Volkswagen Beetle nicknamed “Alice,” hand-me-down Crown Victoria, to a gas-guzzling ’75 Ford F-100, right up to importing a right-hand-drive 1996 JDM Honda Acty 4x4 kei van on a budget. Dave walks through the import process, dailying a kei van, naming cars, and building a full-on VW shrine (yes, still-sealed collectibles). We also detour into film sets (Apple TV+ Lady in the Lake, Lifetime’s Meet, Marry, Murder), CPR class road trips, holiday parades, and why his dream is a VW T2 Transporter double-cab.

(05:25):
Other than that, I think weshould dig into today's show
theme.
Yes, sir, let's do it All right.
When is enough enough?
Or how do you know?
Too much is too much, okay, howmany careers are too many?
How much is enough?
How many cars are too much?
How many VWs are enough?
How many JDMs are enough?
(05:47):
How many hobbies are enough?
Because today's guest is a truepolymath and I don't think that
we're going to be able toshoehorn all of his life
experiences and fun, and justhis zest for living, into one
30-minute episode.
But without any further ado,let's cue him in.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Deputy Dave how are you?
I'm doing well, I'm so happy tobe here.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Man, we are thrilled to have you and, as I look,
we're on a Zoom setup here andhopefully we'll get this.
Oh, so we just launched ourYouTube channel set up here and
hopefully we'll get this.
Uh, oh, so we just launched ouryoutube channel and so dave
deputy dave, said it would befine for us to throw a lot of
the uh content that way.
There he is a lot, um a lot ofour content onto youtube.
But look at that vw shrine.
(06:37):
The dude is broadcasting from avw shrine and it's, it's just
all over.
He's got he even has and thisdrives his wife crazy but he's
even got the original toys andcars inside of their packaging.
And you know, I can relatebecause I've got three boys.
(06:59):
They're teenagers now, butevery so often I will do this
all by a toy and it will blowtheir minds.
Well, dad, aren't you going toopen the toy?
Well, no, we keep it, notexactly it's hermetically sealed
.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Once you break the seal it can't be redone.
It's there, you know it's, it's, you can't do it all.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
The value is gone in my mind at least, it is that's
what matters tell us about thatshrine behind you, because I dig
it and pan, if you can, likeyou did earlier, so we can get
it.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
We start with this wonderful wall that I have
behind me that actually goeshigher too, um, as you can see
up there, yeah, so herbie on theupper right those are all the
one uh, 124 and 118 um models,and then we have a boatload of
the 164s, including one of the10 signs.
(07:52):
Down here, right over myshoulder, is my little shrine to
my current career, which is thesheriff's office.
My wife made me a bobble headthat looks like me, along with
some of the patrol cars and someawards that I've won over the
years.
And then we're going to panslowly.
We have more, you know, one 64sizes and some of the weirder
(08:17):
stuff, like the monster trucksthat happened to be a beetle in
a van down on that bottom shelf,and then, if we keep scrolling
or it keeps, ban.
Uh yeah, what is a panning?
There's the word you got it.
Um, yeah, so we have even more,uh, volkswagen memorabilia on
the wall up there and down, evendown here in that shelf, uh,
(08:37):
including I'm sorry about mywater bottle.
Um, I have a decanter that wasmade by jim that's in the shape
of a Volkswagen Beetle that Ifound at auction and had to have
, and it's actually still sealedwith alcohol in it, which is
fantastic to me.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
And I don't drink.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Enough is never enough.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You never have enough .
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, man, that might be the last word.
Enough is never enough.
I dig that Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah, man, that might be the last word.
Enough is never enough.
I dig that.
The other thing that drives mywife a little bit crazy is we'll
be out in a store in likeWalmart or you know the, you
know like the little side shopslike Marshall's or Big Lots, and
we'll see another Volkswagenand she'll look at me and go, do
you have that?
And I'll be able to say yeah orno and she's, she thinks it's
(09:25):
crazy, because she'll tell mesomething 14 times and I'll be
like you never told me that.
But then you bring up aVolkswagen.
I'm like, oh yeah, I have thatone and it's sitting on this
shelf by this one.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yeah, yeah, top of mind, top of mind yeah too good
shrine so you would.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
You had alluded to your current line of work.
Yes, if you can briefly tell uswhen we say in.
So, in sticking with today'sshow theme, what are a couple of
other things that you've donein the past, and you can mix in
hobbies as well as careers.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I just can't get enough of all the stuff that
you've been into actingparamedic sheriff these days, um
death investigator voice,acting voice acting uh, person
acting, physical acting uh twotv shows um, I was in a training
video for the american redcross where I portrayed a
(10:21):
paramedic and we did a bunch oflike mock scenes for them for a
training video.
Um, I was a flower delivery boy.
I delivered newspapers.
I was a watch sales.
Um, I was a flower delivery boy.
I delivered newspapers.
I was a watch salesman.
I uh, I was a sandwich artistat subway for years.
Um, I've been a personalassistant.
I've been a lift driver.
(10:41):
Um a door dasher.
Uh a courier, just an, uh, justa roundabout courier.
I actually delivered racingpigeons for a couple months.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, so, like random stuff.
So the racing pigeons isactually kind of funny because
everybody goes.
Well, what do you mean by that?
So, if you think about it, thepigeons have a roost and they
have a home and that's wherethey come back, right, but you
hate them, right.
You have to take them somewhereto release them, to fly home,
and that was my job.
I would drive a trailer full ofracing pigeons and it was a
(11:17):
legit race.
Um, they it was very technical.
I had to give the exactcoordinates, the weather, the
time, and I would release allthe birds at the same time and
they would like mark at home.
And these, all these birdswould fly to their roosts and
they had little trackers ontheir legs and when they crossed
the, the pathway into theirroost, they would mark that they
(11:40):
made it home.
And it was a race and there was, there was like big money in
this.
I didn't see any of it becauseI was just a delivery guy, um,
but yeah, so it was a big timething and I had a lot of fun
with that, you don't?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
look old enough to have these many notches on the
resume, but let's leave it there.
So that addresses one oftoday's show themes.
So what do you think, doug?
Are we ready to take thisgentleman, this deputy, back in
time to see where it all startedfor him?
Because you guys are going tolove this.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Well, he touched on the acting and I heard there was
a car connection there.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Oh, good catch, Good catch.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
David, if you wouldn't mind tell us about the
show the car.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Well, I think your car wasn't in it, but there's a
good story there.
So I'm a part of a car club andthere was word from the
production company that wasfilming this show that they
wanted 60s models cars.
Because it was a 60s era showthat they were filming and
having a 67 Beetle, I said, oh,I can get my car on this show,
(13:01):
it's going to be great.
And so I followed the links ofall the things that they sent
out and I tried to make aprofile for the car for the
production company and they were, like, you know, time out.
You need to make a profile forthe person before you can make a
garage for the person.
So I made a profile for myselfand then I made a profile for
the car, 100% expecting the carto make it on the show.
(13:23):
And so then I started gettingemails for availability for the
shoots and I thought, awesome,you know, alice is going to make
it on this show.
I'm so excited.
And and then it got closer tothe day and they started sending
more information and it turnsout they didn't want the car,
they wanted me.
So I I showed up and I was justa guy sitting at a table during
(13:47):
a party.
I was a background actor and Ireally kind of digged it, like
it was so different than what Iwas used to.
I was like, wow, you know itwas a big production.
It was.
It was an Apple TV plus show.
It's a show called Lady in theLake.
It stars Natalie Portman and Ihate to say this on camera and
(14:07):
recording.
I can't think of the secondaryactress's name, great actress
though the show is great.
And so I went to that firstshoot and I really liked it.
And then they were like hey,you know you want to come back
and I was like, absolutely so.
I shot a total of about sevenor eight scenes.
After the second, after thefirst day, actually, I got
(14:32):
typecast as a cop, um, and sothe last.
The last six or seven scenesthat I shot were all, um, I was
a cop in the scenes.
Um, I never actually foundmyself on the show.
I watched the whole season.
Uh, actually take that back.
I saw my face once during oneof the parties that we shot on
the first day, um, sitting inthe background because I was a
background actor and uh.
(14:53):
But I made a lot of friends andthe show the car never made it
on the show, uh, but I did, andthrough that process I I made a
lot of friends and talked to alot of people through that and
uh talked to them about how they, you know, got into acting and
because I'm a talker if youhadn't figured that out or by
the end of the show um, and so Ifound out which production
(15:15):
companies they dealt with andthen I started making more
profiles and then I ended upgetting uh asked by another
production company to star in ashow, um on lifetime called meet
mary murder uh, where Iportrayed the killer in the
reenactment segments, and so Iknew there was something
sinister about it.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I knew it.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah, so it went.
It went just like my, my reallife.
It went from one side to theother.
I went from being a cop in ashow to being a killer in a show
and so just like in my reallife of going from a delivery
boy to a sandwich artist, to aparamedic, to a cop.
But, yeah, so like, I had greattime with that.
And now there's currentlynothing shooting where I live,
(15:57):
so there's nothing really towork on for acting.
But I will 100% go back and doas soon as production companies
come around.
I'm going to put my name in thehat to be on shows, because
being on a set and watchingthings happen, you know, like
the, the filming of things isamazing to me.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I just had a great time with it's amazing period,
but that's that.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Yeah, that's an interesting observation, but
yeah so, um, we do want to talkabout alice, but alice was not
your first car.
We will get back to alice alice.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Alice has been in my life for a very long time, but
she wasn't the first, sadly.
I wish that the romance wasthat strong.
My first car was an 86Oldsmobile Cutlass that had been
previously stolen.
It had been recovered.
It wasn't hot, if you know thelingo right, it wasn't stolen by
(16:49):
you.
No, I didn't steal it right?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Of course not, yes add thief to his list of
professions.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
So the funny thing about that car was because it
had been previously stolen andthe thieves had broken the
steering column, you had tostart it with a screwdriver.
So we had a towel laying acrossthe steering column to hide
that.
So if you were just drivingdown the road you couldn't see
that the gear shift andeverything was all kind of
broken apart, um, and it didn'thave a key anymore.
(17:18):
But yeah, I was, um, I boughtthat car when I was 14.
Um, I got an itch because Ilove cars I always have and I
was.
I had a little money in mypocket from all my side jobs
that I was doing when I was.
I got my first job when I was12.
Um, as a, uh, as a yard boy, Ijust went out and did yards.
Um, you know, typical Americanbring up, yeah Right.
(17:40):
So I had some money and I I sawthis car and it was kind of a
family friend that um that itwas from and he had recovered it
.
But by the time that theyrecovered it he had bought a new
car and he didn't want a secondcar and I bought it for $800.
And I then started drivingaround illegally.
I hate to say this on cameraagain, but the police department
(18:02):
knows.
So I started driving around andthe one day one of the town
cops kind of gave me the sideeye and the little like you
don't quite look old enough todrive and it freaked me out and
so I turned around and I soldthe same car for 800 bucks and
it was slow and it was ugly Kindof, if we're being honest.
(18:26):
It was ugly, but that was myfirst car.
It was ugly kind of, if we'rebeing honest.
It was ugly, but that was myfirst car.
And yeah, I was carless up untilI was 15, which I know that
sounds like a crazy amount oftime and I was gifted a car by
(18:47):
my grandmother, who left it tome in her will.
She passed away when I was 11,uh, but she had a car that I
absolutely loved back in the daywhen we would drive around, and
it was a 94 crown vic.
I don't know if I mentionedthis one before yet, but, um,
yeah, so she.
She had told everybody in thefamily that when she died the
crown vic went to me and when Iturned 16 my grandfather handed
me the keys and said she alwayswanted you to have it.
(19:08):
So here's your car.
And it was all beat up andragged out by then because my
grandfather was using it as adaily driver at the time.
But I absolutely loved thatCrown Vic and that sparked my
Crown Vic obsession.
We'll get back to that in asecond.
So I had that car and it startedbreaking down and I found a
(19:31):
1975 ford f100 single cab, longbed, two-wheel drive, camper
special that I bought when I wasI was still 15 at that point, I
think, because I bought itbefore I turned 16, but but it
didn't run, yeah, so that onewas parked.
So by the time I turned 16, Ihad two cars.
(19:52):
I had a 94 Vic and a 75 FordF100.
Her name was Penny the Ford,and so I was working on the
truck while I was driving theCrown Vic and then the Crown Vic
broke down to the point whereit was unrepairable, so I had to
get rid of it.
Then the Crown Vic broke downto the point where it was
unrepairable, so I had to getrid of it.
Then I only had the 75 Ford,which got and I'm not
(20:12):
exaggerating nine miles to thegallon on a good day.
I was traveling for work at thetime and I needed something more
reliable and something moreeconomical.
So I turned around and bought a67 Beetle.
Yes, so yeah, alice came intomy life.
So I had Penny, had pennies,and for years those were my, my
(20:34):
vehicles, my dailies.
If it was a nice day and youknow like was worth driving the
truck, I'd drive the truck,penny.
And when, uh, you know like theweather was kind of bad or I
needed to drive a distance, Iwould drive the beetle.
And, uh, there was multipletimes in the Beetle's early life
with me that the only thingthat would keep it running was a
penny and a piece of duct tape,because one of the vacuum ports
(20:56):
on the carburetor had blown out.
And if you had to tape thepenny, just right that when you
hit the gas the penny would suckitself to the vacuum port, but
if it didn't have slack when youlet off the gas it would
backfire and blow the penny off.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Hence her name, very nice.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah right.
So there was multiple timeswhere I'd be driving and you'd
hear a backfire and then the carwould die and I know that the
penny had blown off, so I'd hadto get out and put the penny
back on the carburetor and thenwe'd go about our day and then
finally I got a new carburetorthat didn't, that had a port,
that hadn't blown out, and she'sbeen driving with me now and
(21:38):
then ever since.
Sadly, she sat for a couple ofyears.
I you know our, our romance wasreunited um a couple years okay
.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
So I know doug wants to get in here, but that to me
is so interesting.
So when did you get?
When did you get the beetle?
When did you get?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I was I was 17, when I was, when I when I first
bought penny, I bought her froma friend of a friend.
Um, he was moving, he had wait,okay, okay, go ahead sorry.
Uh, no, it's fine.
Um, he was moving and he didn'twant to take the beetle with
him.
Uh, and me being me, I hadtalked to him multiple, multiple
times about this car because Iloved it, um, and he, so he came
(22:19):
to me and was like, hey, look,I'm moving, I don't want to take
this beetle.
Um, you know, do you want it?
And I was like, well, dependson what the price tag is.
Honestly, because I was 17,like yeah, I didn't have a lot
of money and, um, I think, ifI'm not mistaken, I think I
bought her for 1800 dollars atthe time which she was a running
driving car.
(22:40):
It had a crate motor in it, um,that had like less than 500
miles on it that the theprevious owner had put in, and
he didn't drive it much becausehe was driving around and I
don't know why.
I remember this, he had a, asubaru baja that was his daily.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Oh, so cool.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, right, love those and uh, so like that was
his daily and he would take thebeetle now and then, but overall
the beetle was just kind of a,a lawn ornament.
That got driven a couple oftimes and when he was like, yeah
, I'll take, I'll do eighteenhundred, I was like sold and I
bought Penny or Alice Sorry,alice is the Beetle because I
(23:17):
knew Penny was bad on gas, butyeah, so it was one of those.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Like I bought her and I started driving and I love, I
fell in love with that car whenI was younger, but you kept it.
That's the thing.
You kept it.
Yeah, you kept it.
From that, that's what I can'tget over.
And yes, it sat.
She sat idle for a time, butyou kept it.
And so lo, these decades later,you and I wish I would have
done that with my gti, because Ihad mine about the same time
(23:48):
you had yours killing me that Ididn't keep it.
Um, that is such a feather inyour cap that you kept it.
Sorry, doug.
I interrupted.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
No, no no, it's a it's a great story and keeping
keeping a car like that.
I mean I'm guessing it's goingto be with him another 15, 20
years.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Yeah, I would need to get rid of it now.
I was to say i's going to bewith him another 15, 20 years.
Yeah, I will.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I need to get rid of it now.
I was going to say I'm going tokeep fixing her until I can't
find parts.
That's the thing.
Like I have a lot of otherthings that I want to do that
are minor, because she doesn'thave a lot of body rust.
The frame is good.
We've already reinforced thefloors, the normal areas that
rust out on the beetles.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
We've already fixed a lot of those areas and a lot of
it is just the mechanicals thatare that fail over time and um
well, I mean, coming from a guywho started his first car with a
screwdriver, I'm gonna say thatcar is gonna be on the road for
a long time.
Partner.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
I hope so A long time .
I hope so, yeah, so kind ofmoving forward, because you've
had so many cars, I think atlast count I was at 17 or 18
cars in the last 22 years.
I might have you beat, but notby many.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
No, but I'm older too .
But I'm older too.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
You have to get to that K car, right, but I'm older
too, but I'm older too.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
You have to get to that K car right.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
But I'm older too, yeah, so we wanted to talk about
the Japanese K car, which is aclass of cars K-E-I and I'm
interested in one.
Every week it's a different one.
Of course, we were talkingabout the Nissan POW.
A couple weeks ago it was theAutoZam AZ1.
I think pow um a couple weeksago was auto zam az1.
(25:28):
Um, I think christian wasinterested in a honda b.
But tell, tell us about the thek car and your specific one
maybe it has.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
So I have, uh, I have a 1996 honda acty street, which
is the technical name.
It's actually a street v as inv as in victor.
Um, it's a van.
If you're not familiar withwhat these these actees look
like, they come in two, uh, twoconfigurations.
They come in a pickup and a van.
(25:54):
I have the van.
It is a three cylinder, 660 cc,which is the normal k variety.
Um, it's a five speed, righthand drive.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Ooh, five speed.
Yep, it's a five speed.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Um, I, I was looking at pickups because I love small
and quirky I think Alice kind ofstarted that with me Um, and so
anything small and quirky Ilove.
And so I was looking at thesemicro trucks that are out and
about and I thought, wow, thoseare really cool, I would love to
have one of those.
And I found out they're prettybudget friendly.
(26:31):
And so I started looking attrucks and one of my other side
jobs I don't think I mentionedthis, I'm a CPR instructor Kind
of goes along with the job ofbeing a paramedic and whatnot.
Yeah for sure.
So I have a little sidebusiness where I teach CPR and I
have a bunch of CPR mannequinsand equipment that I need to
haul around.
So I was looking at thesepickups, thinking, hey, that
(26:52):
could be my go-around car, andthen I found this van.
This van in particular Becauseand this is a side note for
people who don't know meAliceice is army green, has been
since the day I bought her andI was looking at these, these
vans online and I found an armygreen honda active van and I
(27:14):
said that's the one that's gotto be the one right.
And it turned out this van hadall the amenities that are
add-ons that you you know therethere are kind of hard to find.
It has the air condition, ithas the tachometer, it has the
cloth seats, not the vinyl seats, it's got the split rear bench
instead of the full rear bench.
All these different amenities,the power brakes, the power
(27:37):
steering, the five speed um, notautomatic, yeah, so these are
all things that are different indifferent K cars and this one
had all and it was in my budgetand so it was still in Japan
when I found it.
I found it through a companycalled B Ford and I, I took a
(27:57):
$5,000 gamble and sent them,sent them PayPal for five grand
and I thought to myself oh God,I hope this isn't a scam and uh
and yeah.
So they, they, you know, theywere like okay, you, you bought
it and um, and then it tookabout seven months for it to
come over from Japan and finallydid you track it at all?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Was there any way to?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Oh, yeah, so there's probably daily tracking every
day.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Yeah, so well, before it shipped you, there was no
tracking.
It was just that like yep, youbought it, it'll ship at some
point, right?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
and they got to put it in a container.
They got to somehow well,that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I thought it was going to be in a container, and
this one never went in acontainer.
It actually went on one of the,the car carrier ships, so the,
you know, like the ones that arelike a, a floating parking
garage.
Oh, wow, uh, it came over inone of those and, um, so it, I,
I think that's actually whatdelayed the, the um, the
shipping a little bit, becausewhen they put in a container,
(28:57):
they can put it in same day andthey put the container on the
ship and it moves its waythrough the, the track, um, you
know the path, uh, yeah, so thisone sat for a long time and I
kept getting freaked out and Iwould check in on them, like
when is it supposed to ship,when is it supposed to ship?
And they would get back andlike, oh, soon, soon, soon.
And there's a mobile app Ican't think of it, something
(29:20):
marine, something that you cantrack ships.
And I found out the name of theship it was, it was shipped on
and every day I tracked the shipto see where it was, and it
made so many stops before itmade it to the East coast of the
United States that I startedthinking it wasn't coming.
And but yeah, and it showed upand thankfully the B forward
(29:41):
company that I bought the vanfrom has United States
counterparts and one of those isright here in Baltimore where
it's shipped to.
So they went and got the shipout of the port and took it to
their garage, gave it aonce-over through the B-Forward
company and then they called meand said, hey, your van's ready.
And I went over and picked itup and other than pictures, I
(30:02):
had never actually seen the vanin person.
And I got there and I was sopleasantly surprised because
there was no rips in the seats.
This is going to sound weird tosome people, but if you've been
around old cars or bought a lotof cars, it didn't have a weird
smell, um, which was, you know,grandiose for me.
Uh, like I turned the key and itstarted right up and like it's
(30:26):
just been perfect ever since.
Um.
But yeah, and they handed methe paperwork and I took the
paperwork to our Marylandversion of the DMV and they
handed me a title and somelicense plates and I slapped
them on and she's road legal andI drive that van probably more
than I drive anything else,because it's just really so fun,
(30:46):
and it doesn't matter if it'szero degrees or 100 degrees.
You go out there and you turnthe key and she starts right up
because it's a honda like youcan't kill it.
It's.
It's wonderful.
Does it have heat?
Car has heat.
Yeah, it's so heat aircondition you said air
conditioning, yeah um, both theso because it's.
it's got dual size sliding doorsso you can enter it from both
(31:09):
the passenger side or thedriver's side, or you know if
you're American driver's side orpassenger side, because they're
on flip sides, because it'sright-hand drive, but yeah, you
can enter both sides.
The seats fold flat.
It makes a wonderful platform.
I can fit all of my CPRequipment in it.
It makes a wonderful platform.
I can fit all of my CPRequipment in it.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I used it as a tax write-off for transportation for
my side business.
Oh, this is God.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, right, and I do use it for my CPR business,
even though it's technically notillegal because it has historic
tags.
But anyway, coming around tothat.
So, yeah, I love that van,everybody loves the van, my, I
put it in a bunch of Christmasparades I always dress up one of
my CPR mannequins, uh, and putthem in the passenger seat.
In the in spooky season I haveskeletons that I put in the
(31:54):
passenger seat cause it freakspeople out, cause they always
look at that seat thinkingthat's where the driver is and
they see a skeleton in.
In the winter or in theChristmas season I have one of
my cpr mannequins dressed up assanta and they sit there.
And I love that van.
I drive it all the time.
I've replaced all the lights onthe outside with leds so
they're super bright and it'snoticeable and it gets a lot of
(32:16):
smiles, it gets a lot of laughsand some of them are
good-hearted and some of themare probably not very
good-hearted, but I don't care.
I really can't care that peoplethat's a neat little car.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Bud, that's a neat little car.
Oh, did that price includeshipping?
I wanted to ask yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
So all in all, I, I, I started, um, I started looking
online and I found the b fordcompany because they included
shipping in the purchase priceand so, as it sits right now
outside of my house, that's roadlegal.
I'm about 6,500 in completelyafter the import fees and stuff
(32:52):
like that, because those can'tbe included, because you never
know what the government's goingto charge you.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
That's right, but you love it.
Oh yeah, it's functional andyou drive it all the time.
That's a steal.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
That's a steal.
People pay way more to havesomething just sit in the garage
.
Oh, absolutely, and that's thething.
Like it was super budgetfriendly because, like, here's a
six thousand dollar vehiclethat I can literally drive
anytime I want, for any reason,and it doesn't have to be fair
weather, it's four.
Oh, that's another thing that Idid.
It's four-wheel drive, so evenif it snows, it's not going to
get stuck, like you know.
(33:23):
Granted, it only sits really 12inches off the ground, um, but
yeah, it's four-wheel drive, so,like I'm, I'm blessed.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I, I'm, I'm on that site and I already put in nissan
pow and uh oh boy, three showedup.
Why do I feel?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
like frankenstein, and we've created a monster.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
You guys.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
All we need to do is get him to lay down on a table
and have lightning strike him.
One last question yeah,absolutely.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Go ahead, doug.
No, go ahead.
No, no.
I was going to say well,earlier today I'm looking at a
Cybertruck and now I'm lookingat a Nissan PAL.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
You'll be happier with the Nissan than the
Cybertruck, I guarantee you.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Probably.
I think his Acty would fit inthe back of your Cybertruck.
But look, doug wants to try itwith me.
It probably would.
One last question it's been awhile since I've driven a
right-hand drive car.
It's a standard, correct?
Yeah?
And you don't get handconfusion, foot confusion, do
you have?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
to think no.
So the gear configuration, thegear shift, is in the same, the
same gear configuration as if itwould be if you were an
american side.
So right first is up and overaway from you on the right hand
drive, but it's up and towardsyou for, uh, american right.
So you know, if you ever weredriving in the passenger seat
with a friend with a manual andthey was like, hey, put it in
(34:39):
fourth for me and you put it infourth with your left hand, same
concept.
And then the gear or the pedalsare also same configuration
clutches all the way to the left, brakes in the middle, that's
on the right.
So other than using your lefthand that's what I was gonna ask
.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah, okay, it took five.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
It took a good five minutes to.
You know be the only persondoing everything, but if you're
used to a manual transmissioncar, yeah it's so easy and roger
this one shifts so smooth thatit doesn't.
You know, like you, I, I, mostof my time I'm driving from, I
go second four or five, becausethe you know.
Of course it's only a threecylinder motor and it doesn't
(35:17):
have a lot of top top end, butit also has a lot of really low
torque, which is surprising thatyou can start in second gear
all the time.
It doesn't, it doesn't mind,sure, and uh, it's like a
motorcycle engine.
Yeah, exactly, um, and it's,it's for being, for being as
(35:37):
small as it is.
She cruises at 55 miles an houron the highway, perfect.
And now, granted, it sounds likeit's screaming because it's
around 45 to 5,000 RPM, but itredlines at 7,500.
So five grand sitting there fora while doesn't bother it at
all.
It's got it's liquid cooled, soyou don't have to worry about
the air cooled.
Um, and so it doesn't.
(35:58):
It doesn't run hot on me andshe, I've taken it.
Um, uh, probably, if I had torange mileage, I've probably
driven it well over 250 miles ina day, and she took it like a
champ, no complaints.
By the way, the van her fullname is Midori, which is green
in Japanese, because it'sJapanese Nice.
(36:20):
But I call her Dory for short.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Even nicer.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Yeah, so my van's name is Dory and, yes, I'm one
of those weird people that nametheir vehicles.
Not every vehicle's had a name,but the special ones, the ones
that really have a place in myheart.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
They will always have a name we're finding that we've
had a lot of people on the showthat have named their cars, so
not a rare thing at all.
In fact, I named my current MDX.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Maddox.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Yeah, in honor of all the people that do that.
So I tell you what, as we guidethe podcast gently towards the
off ramp and we wind down here.
Deputy Dave, I got a questionfor you and you can only give me
one.
Let's have a dream car.
You spouted off several in ourpre-chat.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
That's the hardest question for a gearhead.
I'm asking you to dream, buddy,yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
You can dream small.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Yeah, I know, um, you can dream small.
Yeah, I know, um, I'm gonnahave to go with the.
The car that would probablymake me the happiest for the
longest amount of time, withoutbeing a fad, would probably be
the 68 to 72 vw t2 transporterdouble catch pickup yep yeah,
(37:44):
because I know it would befunctional.
It would be fun and it wouldalso be eye-catching, but also,
like I said, functional um plus,it's a rare and and rare right.
So it kind of checks all theboxes for me where I could drive
it anytime and it would, youknow it'd get looks.
I drive things that gets looksof which I don't care, um, but
(38:07):
yeah, it would be, it would befun, it would be functional, but
it would also be rare and funand all of the things.
It would check all the boxesfor me, plus I it's something
about the bay window, front end,volkswagen's that I love the
vans, I love the trucks.
Uh, that I love the vans, Ilove the trucks, but yeah, the
T2 Transporter Double.
Speaker 1 (38:26):

Other than that, I think weshould dig into today's show
theme.
Yes, sir, let's do it All right.
When is enough enough?
Or how do you know?
Too much is too much, okay, howmany careers are too many?
How much is enough?
How many cars are too much?
How many VWs are enough?
How many JDMs are enough?
(05:47):
How many hobbies are enough?
Because today's guest is a truepolymath and I don't think that
we're going to be able toshoehorn all of his life
experiences and fun, and justhis zest for living, into one
30-minute episode.
But without any further ado,let's cue him in.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Deputy Dave how are you?
I'm doing well, I'm so happy tobe here.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Man, we are thrilled to have you and, as I look,
we're on a Zoom setup here andhopefully we'll get this.
Oh, so we just launched ourYouTube channel set up here and
hopefully we'll get this.
Uh, oh, so we just launched ouryoutube channel and so dave
deputy dave, said it would befine for us to throw a lot of
the uh content that way.
There he is a lot, um a lot ofour content onto youtube.
But look at that vw shrine.
(06:37):
The dude is broadcasting from avw shrine and it's, it's just
all over.
He's got he even has and thisdrives his wife crazy but he's
even got the original toys andcars inside of their packaging.
And you know, I can relatebecause I've got three boys.
(06:59):
They're teenagers now, butevery so often I will do this
all by a toy and it will blowtheir minds.
Well, dad, aren't you going toopen the toy?
Well, no, we keep it, notexactly it's hermetically sealed
.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Once you break the seal it can't be redone.
It's there, you know it's, it's, you can't do it all.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
The value is gone in my mind at least, it is that's
what matters tell us about thatshrine behind you, because I dig
it and pan, if you can, likeyou did earlier, so we can get
it.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
We start with this wonderful wall that I have
behind me that actually goeshigher too, um, as you can see
up there, yeah, so herbie on theupper right those are all the
one uh, 124 and 118 um models,and then we have a boatload of
the 164s, including one of the10 signs.
(07:52):
Down here, right over myshoulder, is my little shrine to
my current career, which is thesheriff's office.
My wife made me a bobble headthat looks like me, along with
some of the patrol cars and someawards that I've won over the
years.
And then we're going to panslowly.
We have more, you know, one 64sizes and some of the weirder
(08:17):
stuff, like the monster trucksthat happened to be a beetle in
a van down on that bottom shelf,and then, if we keep scrolling
or it keeps, ban.
Uh yeah, what is a panning?
There's the word you got it.
Um, yeah, so we have even more,uh, volkswagen memorabilia on
the wall up there and down, evendown here in that shelf, uh,
(08:37):
including I'm sorry about mywater bottle.
Um, I have a decanter that wasmade by jim that's in the shape
of a Volkswagen Beetle that Ifound at auction and had to have
, and it's actually still sealedwith alcohol in it, which is
fantastic to me.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
And I don't drink.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Enough is never enough.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You never have enough .
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, man, that might be the last word.
Enough is never enough.
I dig that Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah, man, that might be the last word.
Enough is never enough.
I dig that.
The other thing that drives mywife a little bit crazy is we'll
be out in a store in likeWalmart or you know the, you
know like the little side shopslike Marshall's or Big Lots, and
we'll see another Volkswagenand she'll look at me and go, do
you have that?
And I'll be able to say yeah orno and she's, she thinks it's
(09:25):
crazy, because she'll tell mesomething 14 times and I'll be
like you never told me that.
But then you bring up aVolkswagen.
I'm like, oh yeah, I have thatone and it's sitting on this
shelf by this one.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yeah, yeah, top of mind, top of mind yeah too good
shrine so you would.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
You had alluded to your current line of work.
Yes, if you can briefly tell uswhen we say in.
So, in sticking with today'sshow theme, what are a couple of
other things that you've donein the past, and you can mix in
hobbies as well as careers.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I just can't get enough of all the stuff that
you've been into actingparamedic sheriff these days, um
death investigator voice,acting voice acting uh, person
acting, physical acting uh twotv shows um, I was in a training
video for the american redcross where I portrayed a
(10:21):
paramedic and we did a bunch oflike mock scenes for them for a
training video.
Um, I was a flower delivery boy.
I delivered newspapers.
I was a watch sales.
Um, I was a flower delivery boy.
I delivered newspapers.
I was a watch salesman.
I uh, I was a sandwich artistat subway for years.
Um, I've been a personalassistant.
I've been a lift driver.
(10:41):
Um a door dasher.
Uh a courier, just an, uh, justa roundabout courier.
I actually delivered racingpigeons for a couple months.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, so, like random stuff.
So the racing pigeons isactually kind of funny because
everybody goes.
Well, what do you mean by that?
So, if you think about it, thepigeons have a roost and they
have a home and that's wherethey come back, right, but you
hate them, right.
You have to take them somewhereto release them, to fly home,
and that was my job.
I would drive a trailer full ofracing pigeons and it was a
(11:17):
legit race.
Um, they it was very technical.
I had to give the exactcoordinates, the weather, the
time, and I would release allthe birds at the same time and
they would like mark at home.
And these, all these birdswould fly to their roosts and
they had little trackers ontheir legs and when they crossed
the, the pathway into theirroost, they would mark that they
(11:40):
made it home.
And it was a race and there was, there was like big money in
this.
I didn't see any of it becauseI was just a delivery guy, um,
but yeah, so it was a big timething and I had a lot of fun
with that, you don't?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
look old enough to have these many notches on the
resume, but let's leave it there.
So that addresses one oftoday's show themes.
So what do you think, doug?
Are we ready to take thisgentleman, this deputy, back in
time to see where it all startedfor him?
Because you guys are going tolove this.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Well, he touched on the acting and I heard there was
a car connection there.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Oh, good catch, Good catch.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
David, if you wouldn't mind tell us about the
show the car.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Well, I think your car wasn't in it, but there's a
good story there.
So I'm a part of a car club andthere was word from the
production company that wasfilming this show that they
wanted 60s models cars.
Because it was a 60s era showthat they were filming and
having a 67 Beetle, I said, oh,I can get my car on this show,
(13:01):
it's going to be great.
And so I followed the links ofall the things that they sent
out and I tried to make aprofile for the car for the
production company and they were, like, you know, time out.
You need to make a profile forthe person before you can make a
garage for the person.
So I made a profile for myselfand then I made a profile for
the car, 100% expecting the carto make it on the show.
(13:23):
And so then I started gettingemails for availability for the
shoots and I thought, awesome,you know, alice is going to make
it on this show.
I'm so excited.
And and then it got closer tothe day and they started sending
more information and it turnsout they didn't want the car,
they wanted me.
So I I showed up and I was justa guy sitting at a table during
(13:47):
a party.
I was a background actor and Ireally kind of digged it, like
it was so different than what Iwas used to.
I was like, wow, you know itwas a big production.
It was.
It was an Apple TV plus show.
It's a show called Lady in theLake.
It stars Natalie Portman and Ihate to say this on camera and
(14:07):
recording.
I can't think of the secondaryactress's name, great actress
though the show is great.
And so I went to that firstshoot and I really liked it.
And then they were like hey,you know you want to come back
and I was like, absolutely so.
I shot a total of about sevenor eight scenes.
After the second, after thefirst day, actually, I got
(14:32):
typecast as a cop, um, and sothe last.
The last six or seven scenesthat I shot were all, um, I was
a cop in the scenes.
Um, I never actually foundmyself on the show.
I watched the whole season.
Uh, actually take that back.
I saw my face once during oneof the parties that we shot on
the first day, um, sitting inthe background because I was a
background actor and uh.
(14:53):
But I made a lot of friends andthe show the car never made it
on the show, uh, but I did, andthrough that process I I made a
lot of friends and talked to alot of people through that and
uh talked to them about how they, you know, got into acting and
because I'm a talker if youhadn't figured that out or by
the end of the show um, and so Ifound out which production
(15:15):
companies they dealt with andthen I started making more
profiles and then I ended upgetting uh asked by another
production company to star in ashow, um on lifetime called meet
mary murder uh, where Iportrayed the killer in the
reenactment segments, and so Iknew there was something
sinister about it.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I knew it.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah, so it went.
It went just like my, my reallife.
It went from one side to theother.
I went from being a cop in ashow to being a killer in a show
and so just like in my reallife of going from a delivery
boy to a sandwich artist, to aparamedic, to a cop.
But, yeah, so like, I had greattime with that.
And now there's currentlynothing shooting where I live,
(15:57):
so there's nothing really towork on for acting.
But I will 100% go back and doas soon as production companies
come around.
I'm going to put my name in thehat to be on shows, because
being on a set and watchingthings happen, you know, like
the, the filming of things isamazing to me.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I just had a great time with it's amazing period,
but that's that.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Yeah, that's an interesting observation, but
yeah so, um, we do want to talkabout alice, but alice was not
your first car.
We will get back to alice alice.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Alice has been in my life for a very long time, but
she wasn't the first, sadly.
I wish that the romance wasthat strong.
My first car was an 86Oldsmobile Cutlass that had been
previously stolen.
It had been recovered.
It wasn't hot, if you know thelingo right, it wasn't stolen by
(16:49):
you.
No, I didn't steal it right?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Of course not, yes add thief to his list of
professions.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
So the funny thing about that car was because it
had been previously stolen andthe thieves had broken the
steering column, you had tostart it with a screwdriver.
So we had a towel laying acrossthe steering column to hide
that.
So if you were just drivingdown the road you couldn't see
that the gear shift andeverything was all kind of
broken apart, um, and it didn'thave a key anymore.
(17:18):
But yeah, I was, um, I boughtthat car when I was 14.
Um, I got an itch because Ilove cars I always have and I
was.
I had a little money in mypocket from all my side jobs
that I was doing when I was.
I got my first job when I was12.
Um, as a, uh, as a yard boy, Ijust went out and did yards.
Um, you know, typical Americanbring up, yeah Right.
(17:40):
So I had some money and I I sawthis car and it was kind of a
family friend that um that itwas from and he had recovered it
.
But by the time that theyrecovered it he had bought a new
car and he didn't want a secondcar and I bought it for $800.
And I then started drivingaround illegally.
I hate to say this on cameraagain, but the police department
(18:02):
knows.
So I started driving around andthe one day one of the town
cops kind of gave me the sideeye and the little like you
don't quite look old enough todrive and it freaked me out and
so I turned around and I soldthe same car for 800 bucks and
it was slow and it was ugly Kindof, if we're being honest.
(18:26):
It was ugly, but that was myfirst car.
It was ugly kind of, if we'rebeing honest.
It was ugly, but that was myfirst car.
And yeah, I was carless up untilI was 15, which I know that
sounds like a crazy amount oftime and I was gifted a car by
(18:47):
my grandmother, who left it tome in her will.
She passed away when I was 11,uh, but she had a car that I
absolutely loved back in the daywhen we would drive around, and
it was a 94 crown vic.
I don't know if I mentionedthis one before yet, but, um,
yeah, so she.
She had told everybody in thefamily that when she died the
crown vic went to me and when Iturned 16 my grandfather handed
me the keys and said she alwayswanted you to have it.
(19:08):
So here's your car.
And it was all beat up andragged out by then because my
grandfather was using it as adaily driver at the time.
But I absolutely loved thatCrown Vic and that sparked my
Crown Vic obsession.
We'll get back to that in asecond.
So I had that car and it startedbreaking down and I found a
(19:31):
1975 ford f100 single cab, longbed, two-wheel drive, camper
special that I bought when I wasI was still 15 at that point, I
think, because I bought itbefore I turned 16, but but it
didn't run, yeah, so that onewas parked.
So by the time I turned 16, Ihad two cars.
(19:52):
I had a 94 Vic and a 75 FordF100.
Her name was Penny the Ford,and so I was working on the
truck while I was driving theCrown Vic and then the Crown Vic
broke down to the point whereit was unrepairable, so I had to
get rid of it.
Then the Crown Vic broke downto the point where it was
unrepairable, so I had to getrid of it.
Then I only had the 75 Ford,which got and I'm not
(20:12):
exaggerating nine miles to thegallon on a good day.
I was traveling for work at thetime and I needed something more
reliable and something moreeconomical.
So I turned around and bought a67 Beetle.
Yes, so yeah, alice came intomy life.
So I had Penny, had pennies,and for years those were my, my
(20:34):
vehicles, my dailies.
If it was a nice day and youknow like was worth driving the
truck, I'd drive the truck,penny.
And when, uh, you know like theweather was kind of bad or I
needed to drive a distance, Iwould drive the beetle.
And, uh, there was multipletimes in the Beetle's early life
with me that the only thingthat would keep it running was a
penny and a piece of duct tape,because one of the vacuum ports
(20:56):
on the carburetor had blown out.
And if you had to tape thepenny, just right that when you
hit the gas the penny would suckitself to the vacuum port, but
if it didn't have slack when youlet off the gas it would
backfire and blow the penny off.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Hence her name, very nice.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah right.
So there was multiple timeswhere I'd be driving and you'd
hear a backfire and then the carwould die and I know that the
penny had blown off, so I'd hadto get out and put the penny
back on the carburetor and thenwe'd go about our day and then
finally I got a new carburetorthat didn't, that had a port,
that hadn't blown out, and she'sbeen driving with me now and
(21:38):
then ever since.
Sadly, she sat for a couple ofyears.
I you know our, our romance wasreunited um a couple years okay
.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
So I know doug wants to get in here, but that to me
is so interesting.
So when did you get?
When did you get the beetle?
When did you get?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I was I was 17, when I was, when I when I first
bought penny, I bought her froma friend of a friend.
Um, he was moving, he had wait,okay, okay, go ahead sorry.
Uh, no, it's fine.
Um, he was moving and he didn'twant to take the beetle with
him.
Uh, and me being me, I hadtalked to him multiple, multiple
times about this car because Iloved it, um, and he, so he came
(22:19):
to me and was like, hey, look,I'm moving, I don't want to take
this beetle.
Um, you know, do you want it?
And I was like, well, dependson what the price tag is.
Honestly, because I was 17,like yeah, I didn't have a lot
of money and, um, I think, ifI'm not mistaken, I think I
bought her for 1800 dollars atthe time which she was a running
driving car.
(22:40):
It had a crate motor in it, um,that had like less than 500
miles on it that the theprevious owner had put in, and
he didn't drive it much becausehe was driving around and I
don't know why.
I remember this, he had a, asubaru baja that was his daily.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Oh, so cool.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, right, love those and uh, so like that was
his daily and he would take thebeetle now and then, but overall
the beetle was just kind of a,a lawn ornament.
That got driven a couple oftimes and when he was like, yeah
, I'll take, I'll do eighteenhundred, I was like sold and I
bought Penny or Alice Sorry,alice is the Beetle because I
(23:17):
knew Penny was bad on gas, butyeah, so it was one of those.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Like I bought her and I started driving and I love, I
fell in love with that car whenI was younger, but you kept it.
That's the thing.
You kept it.
Yeah, you kept it.
From that, that's what I can'tget over.
And yes, it sat.
She sat idle for a time, butyou kept it.
And so lo, these decades later,you and I wish I would have
done that with my gti, because Ihad mine about the same time
(23:48):
you had yours killing me that Ididn't keep it.
Um, that is such a feather inyour cap that you kept it.
Sorry, doug.
I interrupted.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
No, no no, it's a it's a great story and keeping
keeping a car like that.
I mean I'm guessing it's goingto be with him another 15, 20
years.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Yeah, I would need to get rid of it now.
I was to say i's going to bewith him another 15, 20 years.
Yeah, I will.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I need to get rid of it now.
I was going to say I'm going tokeep fixing her until I can't
find parts.
That's the thing.
Like I have a lot of otherthings that I want to do that
are minor, because she doesn'thave a lot of body rust.
The frame is good.
We've already reinforced thefloors, the normal areas that
rust out on the beetles.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
We've already fixed a lot of those areas and a lot of
it is just the mechanicals thatare that fail over time and um
well, I mean, coming from a guywho started his first car with a
screwdriver, I'm gonna say thatcar is gonna be on the road for
a long time.
Partner.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
I hope so A long time .
I hope so, yeah, so kind ofmoving forward, because you've
had so many cars, I think atlast count I was at 17 or 18
cars in the last 22 years.
I might have you beat, but notby many.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
No, but I'm older too .
But I'm older too.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
You have to get to that K car, right, but I'm older
too, but I'm older too.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
You have to get to that K car right.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
But I'm older too, yeah, so we wanted to talk about
the Japanese K car, which is aclass of cars K-E-I and I'm
interested in one.
Every week it's a different one.
Of course, we were talkingabout the Nissan POW.
A couple weeks ago it was theAutoZam AZ1.
I think pow um a couple weeksago was auto zam az1.
(25:28):
Um, I think christian wasinterested in a honda b.
But tell, tell us about the thek car and your specific one
maybe it has.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
So I have, uh, I have a 1996 honda acty street, which
is the technical name.
It's actually a street v as inv as in victor.
Um, it's a van.
If you're not familiar withwhat these these actees look
like, they come in two, uh, twoconfigurations.
They come in a pickup and a van.
(25:54):
I have the van.
It is a three cylinder, 660 cc,which is the normal k variety.
Um, it's a five speed, righthand drive.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Ooh, five speed.
Yep, it's a five speed.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Um, I, I was looking at pickups because I love small
and quirky I think Alice kind ofstarted that with me Um, and so
anything small and quirky Ilove.
And so I was looking at thesemicro trucks that are out and
about and I thought, wow, thoseare really cool, I would love to
have one of those.
And I found out they're prettybudget friendly.
(26:31):
And so I started looking attrucks and one of my other side
jobs I don't think I mentionedthis, I'm a CPR instructor Kind
of goes along with the job ofbeing a paramedic and whatnot.
Yeah for sure.
So I have a little sidebusiness where I teach CPR and I
have a bunch of CPR mannequinsand equipment that I need to
haul around.
So I was looking at thesepickups, thinking, hey, that
(26:52):
could be my go-around car, andthen I found this van.
This van in particular Becauseand this is a side note for
people who don't know meAliceice is army green, has been
since the day I bought her andI was looking at these, these
vans online and I found an armygreen honda active van and I
(27:14):
said that's the one that's gotto be the one right.
And it turned out this van hadall the amenities that are
add-ons that you you know therethere are kind of hard to find.
It has the air condition, ithas the tachometer, it has the
cloth seats, not the vinyl seats, it's got the split rear bench
instead of the full rear bench.
All these different amenities,the power brakes, the power
(27:37):
steering, the five speed um, notautomatic, yeah, so these are
all things that are different indifferent K cars and this one
had all and it was in my budgetand so it was still in Japan
when I found it.
I found it through a companycalled B Ford and I, I took a
(27:57):
$5,000 gamble and sent them,sent them PayPal for five grand
and I thought to myself oh God,I hope this isn't a scam and uh
and yeah.
So they, they, you know, theywere like okay, you, you bought
it and um, and then it tookabout seven months for it to
come over from Japan and finallydid you track it at all?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Was there any way to?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Oh, yeah, so there's probably daily tracking every
day.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Yeah, so well, before it shipped you, there was no
tracking.
It was just that like yep, youbought it, it'll ship at some
point, right?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
and they got to put it in a container.
They got to somehow well,that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I thought it was going to be in a container, and
this one never went in acontainer.
It actually went on one of the,the car carrier ships, so the,
you know, like the ones that arelike a, a floating parking
garage.
Oh, wow, uh, it came over inone of those and, um, so it, I,
I think that's actually whatdelayed the, the um, the
shipping a little bit, becausewhen they put in a container,
(28:57):
they can put it in same day andthey put the container on the
ship and it moves its waythrough the, the track, um, you
know the path, uh, yeah, so thisone sat for a long time and I
kept getting freaked out and Iwould check in on them, like
when is it supposed to ship,when is it supposed to ship?
And they would get back andlike, oh, soon, soon, soon.
And there's a mobile app Ican't think of it, something
(29:20):
marine, something that you cantrack ships.
And I found out the name of theship it was, it was shipped on
and every day I tracked the shipto see where it was, and it
made so many stops before itmade it to the East coast of the
United States that I startedthinking it wasn't coming.
And but yeah, and it showed upand thankfully the B forward
(29:41):
company that I bought the vanfrom has United States
counterparts and one of those isright here in Baltimore where
it's shipped to.
So they went and got the shipout of the port and took it to
their garage, gave it aonce-over through the B-Forward
company and then they called meand said, hey, your van's ready.
And I went over and picked itup and other than pictures, I
(30:02):
had never actually seen the vanin person.
And I got there and I was sopleasantly surprised because
there was no rips in the seats.
This is going to sound weird tosome people, but if you've been
around old cars or bought a lotof cars, it didn't have a weird
smell, um, which was, you know,grandiose for me.
Uh, like I turned the key and itstarted right up and like it's
(30:26):
just been perfect ever since.
Um.
But yeah, and they handed methe paperwork and I took the
paperwork to our Marylandversion of the DMV and they
handed me a title and somelicense plates and I slapped
them on and she's road legal andI drive that van probably more
than I drive anything else,because it's just really so fun,
(30:46):
and it doesn't matter if it'szero degrees or 100 degrees.
You go out there and you turnthe key and she starts right up
because it's a honda like youcan't kill it.
It's.
It's wonderful.
Does it have heat?
Car has heat.
Yeah, it's so heat aircondition you said air
conditioning, yeah um, both theso because it's.
it's got dual size sliding doorsso you can enter it from both
(31:09):
the passenger side or thedriver's side, or you know if
you're American driver's side orpassenger side, because they're
on flip sides, because it'sright-hand drive, but yeah, you
can enter both sides.
The seats fold flat.
It makes a wonderful platform.
I can fit all of my CPRequipment in it.
It makes a wonderful platform.
I can fit all of my CPRequipment in it.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I used it as a tax write-off for transportation for
my side business.
Oh, this is God.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, right, and I do use it for my CPR business,
even though it's technically notillegal because it has historic
tags.
But anyway, coming around tothat.
So, yeah, I love that van,everybody loves the van, my, I
put it in a bunch of Christmasparades I always dress up one of
my CPR mannequins, uh, and putthem in the passenger seat.
In the in spooky season I haveskeletons that I put in the
(31:54):
passenger seat cause it freakspeople out, cause they always
look at that seat thinkingthat's where the driver is and
they see a skeleton in.
In the winter or in theChristmas season I have one of
my cpr mannequins dressed up assanta and they sit there.
And I love that van.
I drive it all the time.
I've replaced all the lights onthe outside with leds so
they're super bright and it'snoticeable and it gets a lot of
(32:16):
smiles, it gets a lot of laughsand some of them are
good-hearted and some of themare probably not very
good-hearted, but I don't care.
I really can't care that peoplethat's a neat little car.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Bud, that's a neat little car.
Oh, did that price includeshipping?
I wanted to ask yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
So all in all, I, I, I started, um, I started looking
online and I found the b fordcompany because they included
shipping in the purchase priceand so, as it sits right now
outside of my house, that's roadlegal.
I'm about 6,500 in completelyafter the import fees and stuff
(32:52):
like that, because those can'tbe included, because you never
know what the government's goingto charge you.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
That's right, but you love it.
Oh yeah, it's functional andyou drive it all the time.
That's a steal.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
That's a steal.
People pay way more to havesomething just sit in the garage
.
Oh, absolutely, and that's thething.
Like it was super budgetfriendly because, like, here's a
six thousand dollar vehiclethat I can literally drive
anytime I want, for any reason,and it doesn't have to be fair
weather, it's four.
Oh, that's another thing that Idid.
It's four-wheel drive, so evenif it snows, it's not going to
get stuck, like you know.
(33:23):
Granted, it only sits really 12inches off the ground, um, but
yeah, it's four-wheel drive, so,like I'm, I'm blessed.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I, I'm, I'm on that site and I already put in nissan
pow and uh oh boy, three showedup.
Why do I feel?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
like frankenstein, and we've created a monster.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
You guys.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
All we need to do is get him to lay down on a table
and have lightning strike him.
One last question yeah,absolutely.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Go ahead, doug.
No, go ahead.
No, no.
I was going to say well,earlier today I'm looking at a
Cybertruck and now I'm lookingat a Nissan PAL.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
You'll be happier with the Nissan than the
Cybertruck, I guarantee you.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Probably.
I think his Acty would fit inthe back of your Cybertruck.
But look, doug wants to try itwith me.
It probably would.
One last question it's been awhile since I've driven a
right-hand drive car.
It's a standard, correct?
Yeah?
And you don't get handconfusion, foot confusion, do
you have?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
to think no.
So the gear configuration, thegear shift, is in the same, the
same gear configuration as if itwould be if you were an
american side.
So right first is up and overaway from you on the right hand
drive, but it's up and towardsyou for, uh, american right.
So you know, if you ever weredriving in the passenger seat
with a friend with a manual andthey was like, hey, put it in
(34:39):
fourth for me and you put it infourth with your left hand, same
concept.
And then the gear or the pedalsare also same configuration
clutches all the way to the left, brakes in the middle, that's
on the right.
So other than using your lefthand that's what I was gonna ask
.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah, okay, it took five.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
It took a good five minutes to.
You know be the only persondoing everything, but if you're
used to a manual transmissioncar, yeah it's so easy and roger
this one shifts so smooth thatit doesn't.
You know, like you, I, I, mostof my time I'm driving from, I
go second four or five, becausethe you know.
Of course it's only a threecylinder motor and it doesn't
(35:17):
have a lot of top top end, butit also has a lot of really low
torque, which is surprising thatyou can start in second gear
all the time.
It doesn't, it doesn't mind,sure, and uh, it's like a
motorcycle engine.
Yeah, exactly, um, and it's,it's for being, for being as
(35:37):
small as it is.
She cruises at 55 miles an houron the highway, perfect.
And now, granted, it sounds likeit's screaming because it's
around 45 to 5,000 RPM, but itredlines at 7,500.
So five grand sitting there fora while doesn't bother it at
all.
It's got it's liquid cooled, soyou don't have to worry about
the air cooled.
Um, and so it doesn't.
(35:58):
It doesn't run hot on me andshe, I've taken it.
Um, uh, probably, if I had torange mileage, I've probably
driven it well over 250 miles ina day, and she took it like a
champ, no complaints.
By the way, the van her fullname is Midori, which is green
in Japanese, because it'sJapanese Nice.
(36:20):
But I call her Dory for short.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Even nicer.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Yeah, so my van's name is Dory and, yes, I'm one
of those weird people that nametheir vehicles.
Not every vehicle's had a name,but the special ones, the ones
that really have a place in myheart.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
They will always have a name we're finding that we've
had a lot of people on the showthat have named their cars, so
not a rare thing at all.
In fact, I named my current MDX.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Maddox.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Yeah, in honor of all the people that do that.
So I tell you what, as we guidethe podcast gently towards the
off ramp and we wind down here.
Deputy Dave, I got a questionfor you and you can only give me
one.
Let's have a dream car.
You spouted off several in ourpre-chat.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
That's the hardest question for a gearhead.
I'm asking you to dream, buddy,yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
You can dream small.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Yeah, I know, um, you can dream small.
Yeah, I know, um, I'm gonnahave to go with the.
The car that would probablymake me the happiest for the
longest amount of time, withoutbeing a fad, would probably be
the 68 to 72 vw t2 transporterdouble catch pickup yep yeah,
(37:44):
because I know it would befunctional.
It would be fun and it wouldalso be eye-catching, but also,
like I said, functional um plus,it's a rare and and rare right.
So it kind of checks all theboxes for me where I could drive
it anytime and it would, youknow it'd get looks.
I drive things that gets looksof which I don't care, um, but
(38:07):
yeah, it would be, it would befun, it would be functional, but
it would also be rare and funand all of the things.
It would check all the boxesfor me, plus I it's something
about the bay window, front end,volkswagen's that I love the
vans, I love the trucks.
Uh, that I love the vans, Ilove the trucks, but yeah, the
T2 Transporter Double.
