Happy Saturday, America. You listening Let's Talk Cars Radio on
w KQA Freedom Radio. I'm your host, Big davp hanging
out with Cameron chaoson ABB. Hey, guys, look came quick
right car Seasons upon us. I told you guys that
a lot of shows we're gonna start popping up, and
if you didn't know, you definitely want to be out
the one today out at Lanstown Commons.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
For the Georgie Smith Memorial Car Show.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
They're having a flea market out there full of my
last time it was really cool. I had a lot
of car and nostalgia stuff, and so if you're looking
for some wall hangers for your garage or whatever, definitely
come out there, say hi to with one of you
guys are out there. I'm gonna try scoop some stuff
up myself. So yeah, it's really kicking out. The list
is getting along of all the different car shows that
are going on. I start plugging things into calendars, a

(01:35):
lot of cover up stuff when I mean cover up things.
See two car shows two different locations, same day. So
we try to figure out how we're gonna do all that.
I appreciate all the invites people are sending us, a
lot different stuff and ascents. We're gonna be this, We're
gonna be that. I am trying to get out to
as much stuff as we can. But as I told
you guys, there's so much stuff going on it is
hard to beat everything. So pay attentions. See where we're

(01:57):
gonna be and meet up with the stuff that we
go to, or go to your own thing whatever. Just
be there there be in the moment, enjoy the car.
Hey update on white Noise if you don't know what
white noise is, because just tune in the radio station.
White Noise is our sixty nine Nova SS that we
are building. So I went with everybody's suggestions. Like I said,
we kind of took a poll and I told you guys,

(02:18):
we decided to white and black everything out. Uh trim
is now being blacked out. Now, bumpers are at the
powder coder being blacked out. Door handles came in. Looked
absolutely awesome. The hood pins came in, the side panels,
lens covers, moldings and bezzles all came in. They're all
blacked out for us, so they all look pretty cool.

(02:39):
One of the things I don't know and my ass
put out to you guys, is so I was looking
for black bezzels for the back tail lights and looks
like nobody makes them. So if I want them, I
have to have those blacked out too and powder coated.
Y'all think out powder code them. When we think we
ought to just kind of leave them power court them,
I think powder coat them out black now of things,

(03:00):
And if anybody has one, hit me up. So the
SS panel that's on the back of our car, if
you guys don't know, the repops are plastic and I
want the I've heard have the metal one and ours
is not in very good shape.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
So I'm going to need one.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
So if you got one laying around and you want
to part ways with it nineteen sixty nine SS Nova
back rear tail panel for where the SS goes And
you know, you guys know what I'm talking about. You
got one laying around, you know, somebody does wants to
let go of it for a decent price, and I
do know what they're going for. So yeah, that's why
I say decent price. Let me know, so we can
go ahead and snatch that up. Get on the car.

(03:39):
I really don't want to put a plastic RePOP on it.
I really rather put the metal on it.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
But which Finny Like, once you put a plastic one
on it, you know, then everybody knows that you just
kind of did like a red people.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Okay, So I went back and forth with this, and
I was talking on the form in the Nova form
and stuff, and everybody's like, look, if you're not doing
a full course restoration card, it don't really matter. Just
put the plastic one on it calling day and I'm like,
I got you. But if I can find a nice
metal one, still want it original put it back on
the car because my front headlight bezels are the original
to the car. The trim that's on the car is

(04:12):
all original to the car. Now keep in mind, I'm
having it blacked out, and I know that's going to
aggravate some of you guys because some of you guys
are traditionalists. But i want the car to be blacked out.
So I'm blacking out all the trim on it. And
never been a big chrome fan, huh. Now you know
what I'm not.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
I'm just not.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I'm not a stainless steel fan. I'm not. Well you
know what, so we got you guys know, we have
the Chevy truck, and the Chevy truck has stainless the
trim on it everywhere and it is coming off. I'm
just not. I'm not that. I'm not a fan of it.
I don't like it like our our our Chevy truck
has it up and around the wheel wells and it's
got around the back bumper area and it's all say.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
Digging the trim that took most of that away. There's
some stuff that you couldn't get, you know, replace wise.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
But now I can do something and I just don't
think I want to spend the money, right, So there
is and I looked at doing it on the trans
ND because you guys know the transam has stainless steel
goes around the windows as well.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
I think you should.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
So I still, well, here's one of the things.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Okay, they make a flush mount kit for the windshield
which just puts them and it lays up on the
paint and it's flush and gets rid of all the trim.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
But they're not really cheap.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
And it's like, when I say they're not cheap, I
think they're like twenty two hundred bucks and to me
that I don't think that's very cheap for what it is.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
I mean, it's a rubber gas.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
It lays flat, but it gets rid of this metal
trim and it does look cleaner. It's a cleaner instant, right.
And I thought about doing it on the train and ZAM,
but I was like, okay, do I really want to
do on the Transjam And then I looked. I was like, well,
I guess I could get one for the Nova and
put it on it. I don't know. I'm going to
go with black and the trim out first and see
and see how I like that. And if I don't,
I mean to tell you. I went as far as
the vent windows, I bought new moldings for it, so

(05:46):
the stainless steel moldings go around it, and I'm having
those blacked out too, and then sliding the glass back
into them, just because I want everything to kind of.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Look the way it is. So like I said, you guys,
tell me what you guys think, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
I've taken a lot of suggestions from people, and people say, oh,
I do this, I do that, and some things seem
a little quirky to me.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
I still haven't figured out wheels.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
I might leave the steel wheels are on it right
the second and just lower the car down of those
and leave them for a little bit, maybe just spray
them out and freshen them up and just kind of leave.
And I can really decide, because I think I told
you guys, I'm like, I don't know if I want
a mini tub it or do a full tub on it.
So I really like to put a really underneath it now.
And it has the biggest tire and wheel set up

(06:26):
underneath it right the second. It's already got a drag
slick on it, but it's underneath a stock set up
and it looks pretty mean. It looks beefy on it.
But I know, I think I want to go something.
But I think if I lower the car down on
what's someone on there right now, it'll have a nice
look for right this second.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
So I really truly decide what I want to do.
The problem with.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
It is is to be honest with you guys, and
everybody's been giving me, you know, a lot of flak
I'm building this car.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
The real problem with it for me is.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Is I'm really trying to just get the car out
on the road, and you guys know, you guys listen
to the show long enough. You guys know, I go
down rabbit holes and before I know it would have
that whole car blown apart, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
But there are some things that we can't do piece
by piece there once we get it.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Back, absolutely, you're right, So there's things that could be
done piece by piece. I did notice that the other
day when I was over there. Uh, I don't know,
I'm thinking disassembly or sitting. There's a little crack in
the dash and it didn't have that before. So when
I first looked at the car with one of the
first things I looked at it, but I see there's
there is one. I know it's going to drive me
nuts not to have it, but it's not something that

(07:27):
keeps the car from driving right. So, but I'm real
stickular on interiors being spread around.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
It before instead it didn't have it.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
I didn't see it before at all, but the cars inside,
so the body shop is and I'm thinking maybe something
because the car. I think I told you guys a
car with the car was garage kept for a long
while before we acquired the car, and now the car
has been moved around. It's had to be put on
a tow truck a couple of times, moved from location
to closure location. Maybe that's what caused it. I don't know,
but it wasn't there when I looked at it. So,

(07:55):
like said, I know it's gonna writ and it's not.
That's not super expensive. I could take that dash literally,
let some just go ahead and leather wrap it really,
you know, and in stitch it if I really wanted
to do it, and just be done with it. So
I don't know, I'm much come up with something. I'll
figure it out. And then I think I told you guys,
I was trying to make the center console for the car.
The car doesn't have a center console in it because
it was set up for drag racing. I want to
put a center console back in it. If I'm gonna

(08:16):
do it, I think I want to do a modernized
center console in the car, just so I can have
some place to put a drink, how.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Moder or.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
Like a lock system on it, or like the USB
charge report.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Maybe I might put some of that in it, just
like order, and I might put like the USBs down
in the front just so I wait to plug my
cell phone in some place. And I've seen it where
people made them now with a little cell phone holder
or like up up front so it doesn't slide around,
some kind of thing of doing something like that. But
then once again, I want to have it wrapped. The material,
I don't. I see people like they're baking them out
of wood and they're spraying them out and they look
good guys doing wrong. If that's your thing, then that's

(08:50):
your thing. But I think I'd rather have mine wrapped
like a material or something like that. Maybe you want
to look like it's part of the car.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
You're gonna have my little switches you're gonna have been
like switches to turn on the car arm something.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
No, I mean.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
The car has a key, but it was set up
for drags, so it has you turn the fan on.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Each told them for you upon you.

Speaker 5 (09:08):
Really do all that?

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Or is it how I would have done it? So
it's probably question it right, It's not how I would
have done it. It's there and it doesn't look stupid.
Aren't buy any means? But they didn't get anything.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
No, I don't really think so looking at it, like
any of it can be fixed. What it is?

Speaker 2 (09:25):
I think I told you guys delay box because it
was a drag car. The delay box is screwed in
the passenger side to the floor up.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
That's not staying like that. That's going to get hidden somewhere.

Speaker 6 (09:36):
You.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
I mean, like I said, there's little things. Like I said,
we bought it, somebody was chielding it. Somebody took a
original car and was building it so they could drag
race it. So they really didn't care. I'm taking the
car and couldn't putting it back to street use in
kind of a street drag race kind of looks so
like I said, I I just really kind of want
to get the car done and get it out out
of the road and then maybe I can do but

(09:57):
I'm I'm weird about taking cars, so it's first showing
in certain things not being done. So I'm like, I
know that I'm worried about the delay and how no
one in my head how bad the delay is. And
you guys are gonna send me text messages and emails
and joking.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
But once you start.

Speaker 5 (10:09):
Driving, and then you really started the idea and you
can start really planning and see what you want right there.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
No, it is, You're absolutely right. It's one of those
situations where but little nuances things are things that I
want to like, I know right right, and like it's
like do you let them see it done or do
you just let them see it as you're building it,
like you know, you don't know because doing awards if
you put it in any show, you.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Know, I mean we used to be award people and stuff,
you know, and and I even know you don't think
that way there that were like both built or project cars,
you know. But then we also heard some of the
comments from the side where oh why is he bringing
that there?

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Like that car was cool? I know exactly what car
you're talking about.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
You just hope that that doesn't happen to us, you know,
because we're trying to build a car not only for us,
but for the community to be able to a lot
of cherry stumping.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
To go to a lot of these pressures. I want
something that's going to sit there, I said. And the
bad am isn't done yet, guys, So it's like this
gives up.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Tony to take something out by the way.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
By the way, I do have an update on that
as well.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
So but now, like I said, I tell me if
I'm weird, tell me what you guys would do. Would yes,
you're in a shit or would you just drive it
and let people see it as you're adding things to it.
I don't know I would drive it.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
And the reason I want to know what they think.
I know what you think.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
I understand that what they all right, we'll listening to them.
But at the same time, wise Man once told me
a car is meant to be driven.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Meant to be drinking.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I want wise Man, because I very much believe. I
know a lot of people have cars and they just
sit in the garage.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
But you're the fortune teller.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Don't ask me for lottery numbers.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Your lottery numbers for the day are eleven eight thirty
two looks like but they're like I said, I'm I'm
excited about getting it to the point, like I said,
where we can start taking it to things. And I
told you it will be out to some shows this year.
I'm kind of hoping it really makes it out to
the dust off. I just don't know if it's going
to come out of paint body on time. I'm hoping,

(12:11):
and maybe if I take a dust off, it definitely
won't be If it goes to dust off, just so
you guys know, it won't be finished.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
So are you going to drive that more of your
daily or are you still drive the truck?

Speaker 2 (12:19):
No, I'm still driving the truck, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, No,
this is just another toy dad in the garage, right.
I mean I might drive it every once in a
while to go get groceries or something just because it's
cool to be out of it. But no, I mean,
it's just another another toy. And then, as I told
you guys before, then our Chevy truck will go in
to paint body. Right after that, like I kind of
seed to around. Yeah, it's going to go in and

(12:40):
get work done on it. And then we'll probably pick
people after that, probably picking up another project after that.
We already have an idea of some things we want to.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
We're not forgetting about it. It's just no give them
an update.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah I was, but I know, I knew I had
to go commercial break soon, so I kind of wanted to.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Welcome back to Let's Talk Cars Radio. You're Automotive specialist.
Now back to your host Dave Polach.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Hey, guys, welcome back. So before we went to commercial break,
we were talking about Cameron prompted me to tell you
guys what was going on with the bad am so
go ahead, all right, it it's gonna take a little
bit to explain it. If you guys, remember we've had
a lot of problems with parts. We've talked about it
for months and months and months, okay, and then we
had a problem with the breaking system. We've talked about that.

(16:42):
Everybody's like, it should be a simple fix. To a
certain degree, you're right to be No, right, they're right to.
I will say that the listeners are right to a
certain degree. It should be a simple fix. It would
be a simple fix as if I was willing to,
and I talked about it this week, and I probably
should have if I just took everything off the car
through to side and just the first time spent the

(17:03):
money and just bought new stuff and just figured the
other aspect of the money out later on. But after
having about forty four hundred dollars invest it into the
breaking system of stuff, I wasn't willing to just yank
everything off and scrap it and then go spend another
i don't know, four thousand, five thousand dollars when I
got and then had to figure out how I'm going
to get that money back. And everybody's like, yeah, but

(17:25):
how much money you have tied up in the car,
so it made it to a certain agree. I guess
it does make sense. Ebody how much money you got
tied up in that car? And I'm like, oh a lot.
They're like, so really, to be honest, forty four hundred
dollars is a drop in the bucket.

Speaker 5 (17:36):
Right, but it could buy a whole lot more parts.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Though, No, you're right, You're right, it could.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
But I gave every ample opportunity to try to solve
the problem for the company that you know, provide it,
provide it. And we're dealing with because there was two
companies involved in that, and both of them just could
not we couldn't seem to agree or get on the
same page. I don't know what it is. I die.
I just said. I sent a lot of emails and
I try to explain to you guys, know, I told
you like I had. It was a failure within the part,

(18:01):
and I documented everything. I even document it with them
on the phone, talking on the phone, like here's what's
going on. Tell me if I'm doing something wrong, can
we fix it? How do we do it? So I
boxed everything up and not the first time. If you
guys remember, this is the third time I have sent
parts back to try to resolve our issues somewhere wrong
parts and that's the reason why things didn't match up.

(18:23):
And they got me the right parts, and then this
part was the wrong part. So now that part had
to go back because this is the right part. But
these parts that don't mind out now and they don't
bolt to it. This didn't go on here, and now
this this goes on here, but this won't bolt to that.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
A lot of that.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
You think it wouldn't be that much trouble, but it
has been.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
Were a year. We are literally a year into doing this.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
I I couldn't believe it until I went and I
looked back at the receipt and I went, it has
been a year of messing with this and it's just
insane to me. But anyway, had them on the phone,
did a conference call this week, and I went through
all the story all over a game which I will
not pain you guys with the story all over again,
but I would all the way back to the story

(19:02):
because it's like every time you call, it's like you
got to start fresh. And so I went through all
my look and they kept kind of arguing They're like, well, no,
you never I was like, I've sent it. I assure you,
I don't have parts laying around in the garage. I
never sent you. Like how did I get this and this?
If I didn't already send you back and you sent
me the replacement, Like, why would I be asking for

(19:23):
another part? We got to the bottom of one of them,
so the reason why I hadn't received some of the parts.
They had my parts on hold and had no intention
of sending them to me. I'm like, well, how do
we get that? I talked to you guys. You said,
send of me the part, You're gonna send the replacement
parts and hopefully things go well. And I said, I've
been waiting and waiting and I haven't seen anything. That's what
prompted me to call you, because I'm like, I haven't
seen anything. I understand everything had to go to product

(19:44):
and development for them to take a look at it
and see what happened.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
I understand that, right, But it got to the point
where I'm like, too much time has gone by, Like
what is going on a part that I sent back
to them in June? I sent them back apart and
they sent me the replacement part. Okay, they show that
they sent me a replacement part, but I never sent

(20:08):
them the return back, so they put all my stuff
on hold because it shows that I guess, like I'm
a criminal. I don't know, I don't know I stole
parts from them, And I'm like, what are you guys
talking about? Like, I sent you the part back. How
do you think I had the replacement part if you didn't, Well, initially,
they probably just sent you out the part knowing that
the part was on its way back, and I went, no,

(20:29):
you definitely got the part. So after being on the
phone for a while and then digging through it, they
find out guess what they did get the part?

Speaker 3 (20:37):
No, they got. It's even worse.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
They got the part back, guys, but they credited my
account when they got the part back as if it
was a return, not in exchange.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
So the part that I got.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
For the replacement essentially it was free, which because it
showed and then in the computer, it triggered that I
never sent it back because it shows they sent me
another part with no money changing hands.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
So it's like I it shows it's.

Speaker 5 (21:03):
All on the record, So you'd imagine someone where.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
I don't know how you're going to that point. I
don't know how they got there, but I was like,
wait a minute. I was like, here's the thing. First
of all, it wasn't an even exchange. You sent me
parts for a C ten pickup truck of a year
I don't even know. I was like, they put on
a trans am. They're not the same part. I was like,
So I was in the garage going, why don't these
go on? What's wrong? And I told you guys the

(21:27):
story about it. Kind of find out. I did a
lot restitch on my own and I looked up who
they are made by, because I was like, okay, maybe
I'm doing something wrong, maybe there's a I don't know,
an adapter plate something, And then kind of find out
they don't even make trans am parts. All they made
was Chevy truck parts. I'm like, okay, so obvious this
is the wrong part. And then when I called, we
got to the bottom of it. Like I told you guys,
they found out, Yeah, I guess we did send me
the wrong part. So anyway, long story short, or long

(21:49):
story even shorter than it should be longer, how do
you want to do that? They figured it out that
I never paid for the part. I'm like, well, if
I owe you money by all means you have my
card on file, just build me for and send me
the other parts were having problems with Why would you
guys just sit on them and never call me and
tell me?

Speaker 3 (22:06):
This the reason why we haven't sent you the parts,
not that.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
I needs to say the parts fingers crossed that are
on their way. So cool.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
So you don't even know this yet, but I'm doing
it the same thing. Won't name the company, but I'm
doing it the same thing with CI right now where
I made I returned a part that I bought you
and I didn't hear any update on it. So I
called them and I'm like, hey, what's going on. I'm
expecting this part to be returned? Oh well, you know,

(22:36):
we went through our warehouse, which is cool. They went
through their warehouse and saw that it was affecting all.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Of them defective part YEP.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
So they were contact and manufacturer, you'll hear an update
by monday. By Monday. If you don't hear an update
by Monday, we'll give you a call by Friday. I'm like, okay,
I'll wait.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
So that was this week.

Speaker 4 (22:54):
Kill didn't hear a call Monday, didn't hear a call
on Friday, and I just got to let her from them.
Where now they just credited my account and said as
if I returned them that I didn't exchange it. The
price does not match for what I paid for it.
It's like forty dollars difference of what they credit my

(23:14):
account for. They charged me a fee for returning it,
so a restock fee is on the bill. So now
I have to call them back when they open up
on Monday to try to try to Yeah, you didn't
even know this.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah, I just got that in the mail. You guys
don't know what that's for. My mistake for wanting to
do things right, my mistake. One of the tail lenses
on the trans am, it's there, but I can see
that there's like a small little crack in it. And
once again, like just like we just talked about the dash,
it will drive me nuts. It's a little hazy, right
because they're old, well they are they could be polished,
so I could polish those lenses out and maybe just fine.

(23:48):
But like I said, now, one of the things that
I will tell you is my lens covers are custom
so they've been. They were blacked out many many moons
ago when the car was new. The new ones come different,
so I have to have things black back out again.
But that's a whole another story for another day. But

(24:08):
Karon buys me for Christmas, so now we are what
three months going, so he's dealing with it both okay, okay,
So they buy me the lenses. I open them up
and I'm like, oh, well, it was like there's a
crack in this one, almost like a crack like got
in one. It's it's a defect in the lens in

(24:32):
the molding that made a crack line in the molding.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
And what they say is they will for all of
these older cars, like past the eighties, like before the eighties.
They said, what they'll do is they'll get a part request,
but they only need so many parts then to be
able to send it to the manufacturer and say create
a mold for it and then punch them out. He goes,

(24:57):
about one hundred of them will come out good. But
after you start punching that mold. So many times I
tell you.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
About molds because I learned about it the hard way.
Molds have to be. Uh, there's maintenance that has to
be done the molds, so there's there's maintenance.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
I know this. I don't know if I ever told
you guys.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
I designed a bed for a truck in my twenties
and they were going to make mass produce them. But
the maintenance for the molds and all that kind of
stuff is where it all went south. Because the molds
had to be maintenance in the company that I was
working for who wanted this particular bed, and then I designed,
I use a CAT system, designed the bed everything like

(25:36):
that on cats. Has taught myself everything. I've never been
formally trained any of that, but I did it, and
then I brought it to this company and said this
is what I like, very cool to make, right, And
they're like, that's actually pretty neat we would like to make.
We could probably sell those ourselves. It's pretty cool design.
So the company that I was working for didn't want
to pay for the maintenance of the molds. That's reason
why it never got made. Now jump forward, ltensive they

(25:58):
are it was. I want to say it was like
ten thousand dollars a year to maintenance the molds or
something like that. It's like the price they gave it
to us, which is makes sense because if you The
problem I had was, if you were going to make
them and try to sell them out to the general,
why aren't you going to maintenance the mold as the
company who's making it for me? And then it was
we could add a partnership and we would have made
money off of that bed design for everyone. They sold.

(26:21):
The company I was with decided they didn't want to
do it. Jump forward. I want to say, I'm probably
maybe six eight months. I go to an auto show
and on a revolving carousel in the middle auto show
is my bed. They made one, and we're seeing testing
the market to see how it was going to sell.
It was No, didn't. I didn't. I was in my twenties.

(26:42):
I didn't even think about it, you know. I was
just excited to design something that somebody was interested in.

Speaker 5 (26:47):
But maybe you and every other twenty years old, right right.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
I was just like this, this is cool.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
But that's how they get I did get to see
my design and full build, and it was just as
cool as it was that I desire. It wasn't it
was physically mine anymore. I don't know how many they
ever sold, but I will say.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
That they're not around anymore.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
They know. Actually, about five years ago in traffic, I
was sitting behind a truck and it had that beat.
It's a custom work bed, just so you guys under
It was a complete custom work bed that I designed
and we needed it for our application for what we
were doing. That's what made me design with There was
nothing out there that fit all of our needs. And
I was like, well I could design.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
One, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
It took me a little longer than I thought, but
I did, like I said, finished it, and I finished it,
and then somebody was interested.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
It was cat cap hide or whatever it was.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
As you say, it makes some beds that they were
the ones that are interested in And like I said,
they made one, and like I said, it was it
was at this auto show in the work industry on
the turntable truck's been around. I was like, how cool
is that?

Speaker 5 (27:43):
Were you were you really excited or really mad?

Speaker 2 (27:47):
I went, cool is that? And then after a couple
of drinks later on that night, it probably turns the
curse like these guys, you know, but hey, you know what,
it's a cool story to five years later. It's cool story.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
Nobody gave you a call right about your parts. I
just started thinking about They just sent me a letter
in the mail that says that they gave me a
credit on my account. So it's like, now I really
have to call them and figure out, are you guys
sending me a new part or do you guys not
have enough orders to remake this mold?

Speaker 2 (28:20):
And if that's the case, then what do you have
one lens and not the other one?

Speaker 4 (28:25):
One lens that wasn't even cracked.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
One lens is good, that was not the one that
way I need it really need.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
It's actually the one I need, and I wouldn't. Here's
the reason I want to both because I hate when
I see a car where they were only replace one
lens and one's old and one's new.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Definitely talent. I think it looks it just looks really lame.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
I hate the people do, even even on new cars,
when I'm sitting behind so many traffic and I see
that they replaced on.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Like one good old head light one hundred dollars and
by the other light.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
You also mentioned that your frames on the Nova that
they're painted black, or that you want to get them painted.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Black because they are black.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
You know, I looked for black frames for the trans am.
Same thing. They don't make black frames, but you can
buy them pre pre fabbed and then you can paint
them yourself.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Right, Well, there's nothing wrong with the frames on ours,
and I'll just send them the power code and lead
and powder coating because powder coating wasn't a thing back then.
They just painted them out rather have powder coding. But anyway,
if you guys are wondering what was going on with
the bad am, that's if everything works. Apparently now we
got a lens problem, but hey, I do have I
do have some sequential tail lights to install, so you
know when as soon as I get the lens, it'd

(29:29):
be great, right, Yeah, So I did get those.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
And those were customs are customers, and I will say
that company, Da Dapper Lighting made them for us, and
they are actually a really really good company to work with.
If you need custom lights made Dapper Lighting.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
And if you're in the hamp Rose area and you
want powder coating done, I use Precision powder coating. I
like them a lot, so I'll get them a good
shout out, and no, guys, let me take a quick
commercial break. I got to do it because we got
to pay some bills. I'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (30:01):

It has been a great experience buying land, building my house,
even selling my old house. One thing I didn't tell

buy or sell a home. Definitely give Bob a call

You're automotive specialist. Now back to your host, Dave Polach.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Hey, guys, welcome back. All right, So I got one
for you. I had somebody sent me this article and
I read it and it was actually kind of cool.
Hey Dave, now I meet me a Hey Dave, I
don't think it's really a hey day. Somebody just sent
me a cool article. I read it and they got
me to thinking. And I can't remember what platform it
was onm but it's on one of the new car
news platforms out there. You guys probably stumble across it,
but it got me think about it and it was like,

(33:59):
you know, talking about how things are changing. And like
so when we were kids, we hung cars on our wall,
like posters of them, right, I mean like that was
like our thing to hang posters on the wall. Your
guys generation, we hang nothing on the wall. You guys
didn't hang anything on the wall.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
You guys.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
If you were a car guy, you guys had die
cast cars. That was your guys.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
You guys did diecasts background car park. One of your
kids didn't.

Speaker 5 (34:22):
Oh you just take a car park, you hang on
the wall.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
But that was like we hung the cars that we
like wanted wanted to own some time in life on.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Everybody.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
We didn't have entitors back then, so we had koontash.
But so I got to think about it. I was like, well, yeah,
I guess that is right. I was like, you know,
we hung on the walls. My kids generation had die
cast of cars they liked.

Speaker 4 (34:49):
I'm like, but so what we're like the you know,
what's the new generation stuff?

Speaker 2 (34:53):
I wonder what the new generation is going to be.
I wonder what your guys' kids is gonna be, what
they're gonna do. Your kids are getting hot wheels. I'm
just letting you guys know, your guys are getting tons
of hot wheels.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
I just saw Hunter, our little brother. He finally put
a car on his table. There's a McLaren sitting next
to his, next to his uh computer.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
We did.

Speaker 5 (35:11):
We didn't have a lot of hot wheels growing up,
though I used to. I used to line the hot
wheels up on my change.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
You had a lot of diecast cars too, You didn't
destroy the die cast Yeah?

Speaker 5 (35:20):
Yeah, so you know we build them together and build them,
paint them.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Well, you're talking about the models, not the podcast. You're
talking about Moss. Okay, I'm talking about that metal diecast.

Speaker 4 (35:27):
We used to have a snap on truck tow truck,
and I used to tow the die cast cars with
the tow truck when I was a kid.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
It was never meant to be a toy.

Speaker 5 (35:35):
Camera destroyed every die cast we had.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
Never meant to be a toy.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
I should have known when it had me take screws
out to be able to take it off of its stands.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
So yeah, it's probably no, No, that's a different one.
That's actually NAPA truck up there.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
But there's.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
What was your guys like, I know, do you guys
remember what your favorite cars like? Like we go to
the store and you guys wanted like you had to
have that die cast? Do you guys remember?

Speaker 5 (36:02):
I know I was I like Mustangs even growing up.
Before I even got my Mustang.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
I wasn't you know.

Speaker 5 (36:07):
It wasn't a big Mustang hot head, but I did
like the Mustangs growing up.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
I know that I liked the chargers. I used to
have a red and black charger die cast cars and
my dresser, but I always wanted a Porsche nine to
eleven die cast car because I liked Well tell you.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
How things have changed. A little bit. Cameron liked a
red seventy three trans Am, oh he did.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Like there was a red seventy three Transite and we
had a black one too.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yeah, the red one was out of my personal collection
that he took off.

Speaker 5 (36:38):
He snapped the wheels right and breaking it.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
But I didn't snap the wheels. It rolled off of
my dresser and had a very bad accident. So, like
I said, that's I got to thinking about it, and
I was just like, well, the cars for us?

Speaker 2 (36:53):
So I went and I looked. I went and did
a little research on this because I used to create
bump stops of cardboard code the wheels. Here's here's the thing.
So I guess the generation right before us before me,
theirs was the sixty five Pontac Gto was like the
desired car, and that's what people had posters of those
on their wall. Okay, the sixty eight Camaro was something
that they had the wall. Okay, they had old Porsches.

(37:17):
Some people like older Porsches out of the I guess
out of the seventies probably, and then they had transamp,
firebirds and transams.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
So that was the generations for it.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
So then it went to our generation and it's funny
because some of our generations still had ponac GTOs, old
mustard cars hanging on the wall. Okay, we had old
camaros hanging on our wall. We had old trans ams,
and we had Porsches, okay, because I remember having a
portion of the wall. But one of the things that
changed for us was I remember I had one We
had DeLorean on our wall because Delorian was so advanced,

(37:47):
even the New Right.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
It was so advanced, like you know for.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
What it was with the golden doors and everything else,
Like it was cool even though the car was really slow.
Like I still could tell you guys, And I told
the boys, like if I had an opportunity to buy
DeLorean nowadays, I would probably buy it, but I had
to take I take the motor and throw it away
and I put like an ls senat or something to
make it worth having as far as I'm concerned.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
Okay, So jewelry.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
Another big one for us was Ferrari. We all, like
all the kids were car kids. We all had a
Ferrari on our wall. I think I told you typical.
Everybody had a Laborty Andy Kuontosh on the wall. I
mean I remember, like so for us it was Coontash.
Another one that I remember having and it had a
girl sitting on the front hood was a Dots in
two eighty Z. I remember having this cool We had

(38:28):
that poster. So you guys remember book fairs. Book fairs,
we didn't go we all posters. We didn't go to
the book fair for the books. We went for the
book fair for the poster. Is where it was where
the ninety percent of my car posters came from the
book fair.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
I can tell you I literally did.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
So.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Firebird was a big.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
One that we had.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
I didn't I'd never had a Firebird on my wall.
Believe you know, I'm a Firebird fan. I never never
had a Firebird. I did have a Z twenty eight,
like a seventy eight twenty eight Kmara because you already
owned a Firebird maybe already, Yeah, but this one. I
was a kid, I'm talking while I was in school.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
I didn't have it.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
Negar.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
Well, it was in the family, so you're like, I
cannot go see it in person if I wanted, so
maybe the reason why.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
So, Porsche was a big one. I did have a
nine to eleven Porsche on my wall when I was
a kid. I had a lot of car posters on
my wall when I was a kid.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
I liked so bad.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
It's another one that a lot of people didn't have.
I guarantee it, but I had. It was a vector,
so I had a vector on my wall. A lot
of people probably don't even know what that car is.
If you're a big car guy, you do. But if
if you know, if you listen to this car show
and you're not super super into like every type of car,
you may probably don't remember the vector or the vector W.
I think it was WS two or W two, which

(39:36):
was the next model out car way ahead of its time,
custom made. I had one of those on my wall.
Another one I had on my wall that maybe some
people had and they didn't. And I had two of
two vehicles. Actually I actually had three that most people
from maybe didn't have. I had a night Rider on
my wall. I had the eighteen van on my wall,
and I had start seeing hutches vehicle on my wall

(39:57):
at Van's pretty cool. I still think you could build
an new version of that on a on on an
old Chevy platform, but lower it down, drop it, lower
it give it a kind of a cool drifting look
to a van and it'd be kind of neat.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
I there's a little piece.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
I used to have.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
I used to have the black charger, the red charger,
and the red charger. Remember you had a Challenger, you
had a red Challenger Challenger, and then I had the
black Transam sitting next to the red Challenger and then
the red Transam sitting next to the black.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
Now, so here's here's the other thing. Cars that you
wanted to own and drive that like to high school.
Like when you went to high school, what were you
What was like the ambition of your guys's parking lot
because ours was weird? What was your guys is like
growing up in high school? What was like cars that
people like? Man, I'd like to have one of those
and have it like I was able.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
To achieve mine.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
Mine was the three F and I was I was
able to achieve.

Speaker 5 (40:52):
Yeah, I mean I'm a sitting I mean dream car.
I don't think it was my dream. It was like
you guys parking lot, my car personally it was unless
unless you know, rich kids were pulling up in Audi.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
But that's cool, right, But Audi R eight we had Audi? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (41:07):
Yeah, and he and I remember he worked all day
and purchased himself.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Yeah. The only reason why I.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
Had respect for the kid was because I talked to
him and he told me that, and he would get
off of school, go to work, work for it all.
And then I think his parents did give him somebody
to put it down, but basically pay it for himself.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
And I was just like, that's pretty quick. Shut down
in our parking lot. I went, like I said, I
had to think about this a little research. I was like, sud,
let me think about this. So everybody had Mustangs, so
and our partly, I told you guys, some old Mustang
and some kids had I won't say they were pristine.
Some of were kind of beat or five o's, but
there was a couple of pristine, brand new five O's
in our parking lot that mommy and daddy I'm sure

(41:53):
probably bought. Ye I'm just saying maybe they did.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Jeep Wranglers. They were big.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Jeeps were every jeeps were a big people had jeep
rang They always had the tops off of and stuff.

Speaker 4 (42:02):
And our generation, like y'all generation, when you guys got
to the high school and you know, you guys used
to hang out in the parking lot. You know, you
could see jeeps parked up on top of tires and
people would come out of the school. In your generation,
our generation, it was strictly park your car going to
the school.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Now you couldn't. We were able to park out by
the back by the ball field where they played baseball
at and a lot of people had cooler cars kind
of parked out there.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
Some places.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
We didn't have one. But the dream to dream cars
that I could tell you during my generation when we
were driving was everybody liked the Viper when it came out,
so everybody wanted to Viper, and everybody loved Lotus, the
older Lotuses, the Spreeze, definitely cool cars. Cars in the
parking lot still we had which was a big thing.
It may not seem big, but we had the three
hundred z's, Uh we had.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
We had those in the lot.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
If somebody had one of those were big and that
was Agntager really didn't start kind of hit until after
I was out of the ice style or so like uh,
the SPEs and stuff like that. That it was I
was already kind of out of school. I think I
was in the military when people really started kind of
hitting those big in r parking lot. Cutlasses. Everybody had cutlasses.
I had why seven. I told you guys, I had

(43:10):
a cutlass, Supreme bro Hands Carlos where they pop Carlos.
That's on the list, money Carlo. A lot of people
drove Grand Prix and the other car. If you had
one that was cool that generation. If you had an
RX seven, seven are cool now one of the coolest cars.
I still want to tell you, guys.

Speaker 5 (43:25):
There's a bunch of cars.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
I like the RX seven, I like the eighty style,
and I like the early ninety style.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
But the price tag on the early nine style is
crazy right now, almost a much as a Supra. I mean,
they're like stupid crazy. Everybody wanted a super back then,
but none of us were ever going to force.

Speaker 5 (43:38):
Kind of like I feel like, I feel like the
RX seven is kind of like the Dodge Viper of like,
you're right.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
The body style is very similar to one of the
cool cars I think I told you guys we had
in our parking lot. Might not be cool to you,
but it was because it was to me. It was
like the beginning of the turbo cars. Uh, the conquest,
the Dodge Conquest. Yeah, so that was beginning I told
you how to buddy, you had one on, uh, really
fun car to drive. No, he had a turbo in it.
It was it was a single turbo car. I think

(44:06):
those things were twin turbo. They're single turble. But his
dad did work on his so and that was before
people were doing turbos, right, so it was already pretty quick.
And as the story went, he was indulging in a
little extracurricular activity and dropped it and went stone picked
and hit the back of an RV and told that
thing that was That was the story in high school.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
Yeah, yeah, but it was.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
It was cool because it was like like fire engine red.
So the car stood out in the parking lot and
it would smoke the tires like you were like, you
wouldn't believe on that car.

Speaker 5 (44:33):
Even I will say when we're in school, there wasn't
a lot of modified cars. I think my car was
probably the most heavily modified. Yeah, get you're stood out like,
yeah a lot. It would stand out across the parking
lot today. So so curious what was in your guy's
parking lot? Send me an email, send me a text,
let me know. I'm just curious what it is. I
gotta take quick commercial break. When I come back, I

(48:22):
back to Let's Talk Cars Radio. You're automotive specialist. Now
back to your host, Dave Polach.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
Hey, guys, so is now the time to tell you
that I think certain states in the United States are
just completely crazy.

Speaker 5 (48:39):
Where a good point.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
That's a good point.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
If you don't know what I'm.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
Talking about, I'm gonna jump into this speed limiters on cars.
If you guys have not read this story, Virginia is
gonna be effected by it. They want to This is
not the only state that's crazy, by the way.

Speaker 5 (48:55):
I understand it.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
Okay, just let me get it out there.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Because we're doing this.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
They want to put speed.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Limitter on your car for offences now, So if you
get a ticket for like reckless driving, you get a
speed limber on your car. And if you don't know
what it is, it means it's set in the car
won't go over this a certain speed. You're just stuck
and that's the only speed it goes. And I guarantee
you you're gonna be fifty five miles an hour right,
It's gonna set it right there. So you're getting a
sixty five mile an hour zone. You're just not a
luck like it. And they want to track on top

(49:23):
of that. They want to double down on it and
then track if you speed like they'll be able to
find out if you speed, if you're speeding in certain airs,
like if you're in a thirty five and you're going
over to speed they'll be able to know.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
Like I get it.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
We don't want people to speed. I don't want anybody
to die from traffic access all trust me. We don't
need to argue that point. But the overreach is insane
as far as I'm concerned. It's just want closer for them,
just implementing it into newer cars, and you not have because.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
They've talked about putting a new cars.

Speaker 4 (49:50):
Remember I'd rather go spend a week in jail than
putting a speed limitter. In my course, it's about everybody
seeing that. But at the same time, when is an
enough enough.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
This idea right?

Speaker 4 (50:04):
I mean, didn't just California try to put this in
and they not declined, And I know that's like how
I feel about it.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't.

Speaker 5 (50:18):
I just look, I think you should make your own choice.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
I go by the practice of we're all adults, okay,
and we need to make decisions for ourselves. As an adult,
I don't need the government telling me what to do.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
And they're like, well do you?

Speaker 2 (50:31):
And I already know where this is going because I
get weird emails and I get weird texts. So you
just want people to die in traffic accidents. No, that's
not what I'm saying. That's not what I'm saying is
you're an adult, be responsible for yourself and your own actions.
You shouldn't have to have the government or anybody else
step in to tell you how to be an adult.
I mean just I just don't believe. That's why I
believe that's always an overreach. I'm gonna take you on

(50:54):
a second thing. You have California, which we all know
has been crazy for a long time when it comes
to laws, then want to put in traffic cameras that
get you on different traffic, uh, offensive speeding you know,
I guess running red lights, wrong turn, stuff like that.
But this is where it gets even. Just your fine

(51:15):
will be based upon your your income. What what? Yes,
so it won't be the same fine for everybody. If
you make less money, you get to pay less You
get to pay less money in the fine.

Speaker 5 (51:25):
What How does that? How does that show anybody anything?
What I'm going at, How does that teach you anything?

Speaker 2 (51:33):
That teaches you nothing?

Speaker 3 (51:34):
There's no I mean, like it's everybody gets a trophy,
right theory, That's what it is.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
You can't teach people that there's losers and not losers,
and winners and not winners. So well, it just feels
like if you're if you're within thirty eight thousand to
sixty thousand dollars a year and you got a family
of six, and UH will reduce your ticket fine because
you know you you make less money. But the guy
who obviously did well for himself and worked hard to
get there, he's getting more, has to pay more because

(52:03):
he has more to give. What are you? Are you insane?

Speaker 5 (52:06):
Like literally, I mean like, who don't you already take
enough tax?

Speaker 2 (52:09):
Don't you already take enough money? We're like, hey, how
about you like fix all the other problems you have?
And that goes for every state. Like when I see
tickets for speeding and tickets for the wrong like making
a left hand turn when you shouldn't have at the stop,
journey didn't stop.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
And and I hit a pothole in the road, I go, okay,
we're spending that money real well.

Speaker 5 (52:29):
When you charge someone for not carrying their driver's license,
but you have the programs to look.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
That point, You're just there for the money. It's a money,
money generator. I already told you this is this is
all money generator. I've been telling you guys when they
talk about starting putting these cameras in place, I understand
back then you didn't have the technology. But we have
the technology. Let's stop being cheap and trying to money
about it. Is like they come up to you and
they're like, who is this car registered to you?

Speaker 7 (52:57):
One?

Speaker 3 (52:57):
You know that you don't know if it's registered to you.
They don't know if it's because they don't know who
you are. You're right, You're right, I don't know if
it's right. You know the car, who the car? They
know who the car is registered you?

Speaker 4 (53:08):
If I can give my name right like they always do,
they'll ask, well, can I get your data bird or
some social security number? Okay, if you can look up
my license that way, then belongs to me. You know,
the car belongs to me. You know that, okay, Just
so you understand, it's a game.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
It's a game. They certain when you're pull right, when
you pull over, when you get pulled over, certain questions
that are asked you or asked you, not because they
don't have the answer. They're asked you questions to see
how you react to certain things. They are trying to
get certain reactions, which, if they say, if they're trained correctly,
telltale signs of your reaction to certain things mean you

(53:45):
may have something else to hide. So they're asking you
the guy that comes up and goes, so, is there
any weapons in this car? And of course you go no,
So no hand grenades, no bombs, you don't have any dynamite,
you know.

Speaker 1 (53:59):
Ha ha ha.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
That's that is a question. They're asking you on purpose.
They're asking that question, and they do it if you know,
I know, you've got the experience. They're asking you that
because they want to see they're looking to see what
your reaction is when they ask you things, right, and
when he laughs, that laugh is programmed, by the way,
when you know, the laugh is part of his spiel.
He's been told to laugh afterwards. So it doesn't seem

(54:22):
weird that he asked that question. But he really is
asking that question.

Speaker 5 (54:25):
Because he's done it so many times.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
Absolutely, it's totally faith, you know, Like I said, you know,
when they come to you know, do you know why
I pulled you over today? That's asked for a reason
because they're trying to see if you will make Absolutely,
there's certain things they do and I do not have
a clue officer, why you pulled me over?

Speaker 3 (54:45):
Did you know that you were speeding?

Speaker 4 (54:47):
No, I had no clue.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
I was rather I was.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
Driving, like I said. They asked you these questions for reason.
And even now it's even more because with bodycams, everything's recorded.
So everything you say that you made their case, don't
make their case for him. And look, I'm not I'm
not gonna I'm not police fashion here. I'm just saying,
let me let me get you. They will get absolutely,
let them do their job. I've had a lot of
experiences with police officer the years have been very pleasant.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
Ones. I've had ones where I go, I.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
Just got derailed, and by the way, I gotta take
a road trip soon, and I gotta go right through
where I got that ticket at guys, and I'm already
dreading it because it is the fastest way for me
to go where I need to go. So I'm on
that road trip. I gotta go through that sound. We
all know that town loves to give tickets. And I'm like, dude,
you better set up a camera. Last time, literally last time,
I set the speed and everything on it, and I

(55:36):
still got the ticket.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
I'm like there's and I like I told you guys,
I told the God.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
There is no way, no way.

Speaker 5 (55:41):
What I don't like is that when they pull you over,
they say they're required to give you some ticket. No,
because they you know, they already range your license plate, right,
what's that that's the case, it should be the case.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
That's not the case. It's not the case. That's that's
a big line. They're not required to do anything. I
can say I'm gonna give you a warning and send
you on your way. You could do that, you just
choosing not to, Like I said, I just they'll give
you a ticket. The overreach on everything when it comes
to the tickets and stuff like that, just like, uh,
I think I told you guys a while back. So
they had the fake police car with all its skyll
of the cameras in it, and it's just literally just

(56:15):
sitting there taking pictures and sending tickets through a computer system.
It's just a car they parked on the side the freeway,
and you just go buy it, and you get used
to the fact that you see it with nobody in it.
That car has equipment in it's taking pictures and sending
you tickets. And I'm like, I'm sorry. I'm of the
old school thinking of hard work. What's working and catch
me doing it? Like, don't just give me a send

(56:35):
me a ticket.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
In the mail.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
It's like the as bad as the scam where people
are like, oh, you didn't pay your tolls. Toll scams
going on right now. Everybody's like, oh, well, let me
go ahead and give you my credit card. I want
to pay that right now. First of all, if you
don't know, they're not calling you. No one's calling you
asking you to pay your easy pass. They will send
you something in the mail if you owe them money.
No one's calling you asking for money on the phone.
If you don't know or texting you, nobody's texting. Nobody's

(56:58):
texting you to say about it. Don't have your telephone number.
It doesn't happen. But I'm gonna say like it put.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
The work in. I'm not a habitual speeder, guys. I
told you guys.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Now. Do I have muscle cars? Sure?

Speaker 3 (57:14):
Do I enjoy stop.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
Light to stop light?

Speaker 3 (57:18):
Do I blip that throttle every once in a while. Absolutely,
But I'm.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
Not out there going reckless. I'm sure not going What
just happened over off of Holland Road here in Virginia Beach.
What a week and ago with the takeover after a
car meet, and now the car meet, by the way,
can't happen anymore. Thanks appreciate it. It's been canceled. No
more car they can they can't do those. Yeah, they
can do those night car meets that they did a
takeover and destroyed it. Now no we can go there
for night for you know, night get together. It was

(57:42):
a good it was a good thing. By the way,
they had food trucks and everything that has set up.
There's a lot of people like me who have I'm
not driving around your twenty thousand dollars. I'm making payment
on it. You know, crap box. You know, I have
real money to invest in my cars, and I do
enjoy going out at night, even though I'm getting older.
I like going out for a nice.

Speaker 3 (57:59):
Cruise and take my car and we'll see what other
people have.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
It's ruined. It's done because you guys got to be idiots.

Speaker 5 (58:04):
So I mean, there's plenty of places to go and
do your pun again stuff elsewhere.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
Right.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
Well, I told you guys, you know, you know the
deal they're they're doing. You know, I hear they're out
and they're in Mexico, and everybody knows where to go.
If you want to go run things stuff like that,
go take that stuff away from everybody. You didn't need
to do it on Holland Road right in the middle
where there's people driving everywhere and you could hurt somebody
to just this happened to us. I told you guys,
this happened as years ago when we used to meet

(58:29):
in Hampton over at Builder Square and there would be
over three hundred cars that would show up there, and
it took two idiots to decide to drag race and
hit each other, and before you knew it, that was it.
That was the end of it, and that was that
was a big, huge deal. And I feel like I'm
reliving it again now and now I'm really putting money
into cars and building nice stuff.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
Back then, we just had, you know, we we had
our you know suff like that.

Speaker 5 (58:49):
When stuff like that happens, though, it shouldn't be affected.
The people that go shouldn't be affected. It should be
the ones that are doing the crime.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Well, here's the problem. The shopping center who lets you
host something like that finally goes. That's how you got
you're gonna have. You're not doing it here anymore, right,
and that's what and just get shut down. And I
feel bad for the situation because that was a good,
a good little thing was going on. You still got
cars and coffee. There'll be some other things and stuff
that pop up, guys. But man, if you, guys, if
you're one of those guys that are out there doing
just stuff, that's going to cause all the rest of
us not to be able to do these car meets
and these people who are generous enough to offer up

(59:17):
their parking lots. So let's do it. And now we
get closed and can do it, and then think about
that before you go do something. Send day.

Speaker 5 (59:22):
They're on the record, fright.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
Look I'm all for like you can rev your motor
up and every once in a while you're sitting still
and you can.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
You know it because I do it, Like I mean,
I put please do money in my motor.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
I want you to hear it.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
But they do not.

Speaker 5 (59:32):
Just slam it and hold it down right.

Speaker 2 (59:37):
Right until somebody looks at I mean, it's just silliness.
And then no, guys, it's the show. Tell me what
you think you can agree with me and not agree
with me.

Speaker 3 (59:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
