Speaker 1 (00:48):
So everybody everybody saw Ford Versus Ferrari. You saw that movie.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Everybody did. Everybody loved that movie.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
One of the GT forty cars at the end, three
of them line up for the finish.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
One of them, the one that was the Holman Moody cars,
is up for auction. The actual car from you know
those cars are still around.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
You know, they're mostly in museum collections, but one of
the one of the museums has got one.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
They're on auctioned off.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Yes, let me guess the value, do you?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Okay? Yeah, yeah, I was gonna letch.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You okay, give me I'm feeling I mean the hit,
the car itself plus the history attached to it, that's
got to be a two million dollar car. I'm gonna
say two point two million.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Try ten million. God, oh my god.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
This is so underselling.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
They say that it will probably be closer to fourteen.
They're saying ten, but they go it'll because of it.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
You're in the movie going yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
So they had they had a Ferrari that was a
Ferrari Gto that went for in like forty something million dollars.
And then Mercedes. Uh in nineteen fifty five. Mercedes had
built these two ultimate cars and they weren't racing them.
They had just built them. They were ready to take
(02:08):
them out and race them. They're going to be the
greatest thing ever. And one of their cars crashed at
Lemon's and killed fifty something people, fifty to five people,
I think, and Mercedes pulled out a racing forever I mean,
they just got back into it a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
But they had these two cars and they've had.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Them all these years, and they sold one of them
last year. It was the highest auction. They went to
a private bid, but it went for one hundred and
ten million dollars. It's the number one auction, most expensive
car besides the moon car that's sitting on the moon
right now. If you believe it, actually you know, made
it up there and they did. That's a whole nother show,
(02:47):
you know. And in fact, we've got twenty podcasts on
iheard network that talk about that.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So you can go over there and argue with those guys.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
But this deal, this thing got one hundred and ten
million dollars a Mercedes is going to put all all
of that money into UH into environmental UH experimentation with
and they and I think hydrogen is where they're they're thinking,
they're that's where their money is going to go, into
a hydrogen powered car. But they're going to use that
whole one hundred and ten million as a ride off,
(03:16):
as a total ride.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Off to to to do that research with.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
And so that was the number one this one, So
this would be this is going to be top five
in the fourteen million range.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
It felt like, you know, the GT forty zone.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I wonder, and what car could even come close to
that one hundred million dollar number.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I can't imagine anything that would. And they kept the
other one. The other one's worth more than that one,
you know, as they had the two so uh they
say they'll hang on to it forever. You know, it's
a factory, factory car, but they never would say who
bought it. But there's only forty something of those gto ferraris,
Like uh, Ralph Lauren has one, you know, just celebrities
(03:59):
have you.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Know, I think Seinfeld had one.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Well he's a Porsche guy. He wouldn't own a Perri,
but it was he had a nine to seventeen. Yeah,
that's very.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Rare that they turned down twenty million. He turned down
twenty million.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
A couple You told me on on that nine seventeen
that they had for Lamon the car they used there
Lamon's movie.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Can't imagine just quick looking up that car, that fifty
five Mercedes the three hundred SLR going one hundred and
eighty miles an hour in nineteen fifty five in that car,
I can't imagine what that would have felt like. Formula
one speed in nineteen fifty five in a production car.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
And it in.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I think the part that's scarier than that is stopping
because the rakes technology from there. I had a friend
of mine that was a race car driver. He drove
for Portie and he drove Indy cars. The guy I
knew named John Paul Junior. He's no longer were with us,
so he didn't get killed in the wreck. He died
from a disease, but he raced it. Indy won to
(05:05):
Michigan five hundred. But he had a Porsche nine thirty
five turbo with German tags on it.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
He gave me a ride. That's the fastest I've ever
been in my life. He took me for a ride.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I have no idea how faster was going, but he
had just wanted Michigan five hundred to two hundred and
twenty miles an hour, so I knew we weren't anywhere
near that, so I wasn't even scared. I knew he
knew what he was doing, but he had he got
this Porsche as a bonus.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
When he was.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Driving at Lemon's in the rain at night. They came
in third and he told me, he said, that's they
rewarded him with his car, you know, that was his bonus.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
But he said, I.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Said a bonus.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I said, what was the fastest you went? He said,
I was going about two twenty at night in the rain.
And I said, and he goes, he goes, it's not
even that, he said, it's the cars that are also
on the track with you, that are in a whole
other class, that are half the speed.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
You know, they're going one twenty one thirty. And he said,
you come up on them.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Well, hell, that's like coming up on somebody going one
hundred miles per hour. You don't have time to react.
And he said, so that's scary. And he goes, of course,
rain and storming, but he goes it twenty four hours
is a that's a that's a.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Commitment, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And and he ran and Indy, he ran everywhere and
U but he was more of a you know, he
did a lot of road racing too, you know, yeah,
he's pretty well known for that.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
But uh, quick going to the Ferrari gto it's Nick Mason,
the Pink Floyd drummer.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
He's he's going and he's owned.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
One, technically the longest of any human because he bought
his in nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And paid it was like five thousand dollars or something.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Crazy. Yeah, now he's he's the longest running owner of
a of the GTS.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
It's considered the most beautiful car ever made, by the way.
Enzo Ferrari said the Jaguar XK was the most beautiful
car he'd ever seen, but the Ferrari GTO.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
You can look one up.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
They're absolutely considered the most beautiful car I know. Ralph
Lauren ed, that's why I remember that. Some other celebrities,
but they Yeah, the drummer was that he had that one.
And and they're worth if you can find one, you know,
if somebody almost let one go, they're worth They think
thirty to forty million dollars, depending on who it is.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And you know, I don't know there are they're very pretty.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
But I was thinking about this because what made me
think about this was what do you.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Do with your tax refund?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
You know, you and I are going to get you
and I may get a thousand or two thousand back.
And they said they interviewed one of these finance guys
and uh. He said, well, first of all, everyone should
have three to six month living expenses. He said, if
you're an adult with that, yeah, yeah, we're out of that.
He said, if you're an adult, if you're twenty one
(07:49):
or over and you're a professional adult, you know you're
supposed to be by the n uh. He said, you
should have three to six month living expenses just in
case something happens that you don't have. You know, you
can put your hands on, but just have it where
you're not using it. And then he said, you know,
paying off take the tax return, put half of it
in the rainy.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Day fund, that's what they call it. And he said
put the other half.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Pay your credit cards off, because he said, you don't
know this, but most credit card the average credit card
interest is twenty percent.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yeah, it's brutal. It's robbery, is what it is.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And he said, pay off your credit cards, keep them
paid off. And then he said, don't worry about your
credit rating because he said, if you if you take
care of everything, you'll be in the seven hundreds, eight hundreds,
the high sevens and the low eights.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And he said you'd be able to buy anything you want.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
But it was interesting to hear a guy got put
back three to six month living expenses just in case
something happens.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yeah, but never know, you know what's more fun than
putting it in a savings account or paying off credit cards?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Buying an exotic race card?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, go ahead, you go get you that Frari.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
You know you can get you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I rode in a brand new Corvette the other day.
It was very exciting, very fast.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
You like the mid engine.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, it was quiet.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
I couldn't get over how quiet it was, and with
the engine right there, you know, it just they've done
they've done their homework.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
And it's as fast and handles as good as cars
three times as much as it.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You know, I think it might be the best American
made car in the last thirty years.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I believe you're correcting it is that comes close.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
And then figuring the paid on it so bad just
because the you know, a Corvette driver. I immediately think
of the bald, middle aged guy going through his midlife
crisis and buying a you know, a crappy nineties Corvette
RBI Corvette.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
That's what I immediately what I wanted that Corvette to be.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
But for the price point, I mean I think potentially
the only car that is better value for the number
is like a missing a GTR.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah they're good. They're good car right for.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
The price point. That Corvette is insane insanely cool.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
They have that new what is it, the z R
one and has a thousand horse power. You need a
thousand horsepower when you're headed up to home depot, you know.
That's I remember the Sheriff of Hayes County, Alan Bridges.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Allen was a good friend of mine. Rest in peace.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Alan told me he said, we ordered the chargers, and
he said, we were getting ready to order the guy
you want to hem me in there. The police intercept
her and he goes, we don't have a road in
Hayes County straight enough to get.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
To one hundred miles an hour. Give me the V sixes.
And so they put the V sixes in.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
And he told his guys, he said, don't get into
police chase with anyone because you'll wreck, you know, or
you know, they'll wreck and kill somebody.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
And he said, you got a radio, just call ahead.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
But he goes, I saved this. I saved the county
twenty thousand dollars in fuel costs and he said.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
He was very proud of that.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
You know that they were all the V six chargers,
not the not the HEMI chargers, you know, and it's good.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
To see someone in government at least some inclination sending efficiency.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
He was.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
He was a good guy. It was a good he
told me.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
He said, I'm the last sheriff that's going to be
in Hayes County because from now and you got to
be a politician. And Gary, that Gary the last sheriff
we had at Hayes Gang He told me the same thing.
And he said, man and Helio the same way. The
new sheriff that's there, a great guy. He's like, man,
you got to be a politician. Your sheriffing is done.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You know. You got to be able to deal with
the weird city to the left over here. You know,
it's where we are.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
You know, I had I had no idea that was
the reason behind it. But as a former Hayes County
resident during my time at Texas State who had a
fast car, yeah, the entirety of living there, I much
appreciate the fact that they got those V six's and
not the Hemmy interceptors.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Let's just say that.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
He told me. He said they had a video.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
He showed me the reason and they you know, they
were running dope up and down thirty five.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
You know, going to Dallas, Chicago and all.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And he said that I told the guys don't And
he said, there's a video of a dipity pulling over
one of their dope runners. And they got car you know,
blockers front and back.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Oh yeah, and he sent his tippity pulls this van
over and these guys all get out of these submachine
guns and just start peppering the sheriff's car, you know,
and he's got his glock, you know, he's laying in
the seat, you know, because the wind shiels already shot out.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
He's just shooting in space. And then they did.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
They take off, and he's like, you know, on the radio,
going good lord. And this is what Allan says. They
got nothing to lose but their lives. If they if
they're dope gets taken away, they're dead. So they're gonna fight.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
You you know.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
What if they shoot up a car load of people
just driving by, you know that they're innocent. So he said,
I don't care who takes dope in Dallas or New
York or or Chicago.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Let them let them have it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So I always thought that was a crazy take on
police say. He goes, yeah, well we let the federal
people to fight the dope people. So anyway, that was
I thought it was so great.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, yeah, way over their their paker. I thought that
was interesting though.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
About to put three to six months expenses back, I'll
get on that immediately at sixty seven.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Maybe by the time I.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Die, i'll have a month's worth, but I'm thirty nine.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Maybe by the time i'm sixty seven, I'll have three.
Speaker 1 (13:24):

rain and storming, but he goes it twenty four hours
is a that's a that's a.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Commitment, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And and he ran and Indy, he ran everywhere and
U but he was more of a you know, he
did a lot of road racing too, you know, yeah,
he's pretty well known for that.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
But uh, quick going to the Ferrari gto it's Nick Mason,
the Pink Floyd drummer.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
He's he's going and he's owned.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
One, technically the longest of any human because he bought
his in nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And paid it was like five thousand dollars or something.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Crazy. Yeah, now he's he's the longest running owner of
a of the GTS.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
It's considered the most beautiful car ever made, by the way.
Enzo Ferrari said the Jaguar XK was the most beautiful
car he'd ever seen, but the Ferrari GTO.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
You can look one up.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
They're absolutely considered the most beautiful car I know. Ralph
Lauren ed, that's why I remember that. Some other celebrities,
but they Yeah, the drummer was that he had that one.
And and they're worth if you can find one, you know,
if somebody almost let one go, they're worth They think
thirty to forty million dollars, depending on who it is.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And you know, I don't know there are they're very pretty.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
But I was thinking about this because what made me
think about this was what do you.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Do with your tax refund?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
You know, you and I are going to get you
and I may get a thousand or two thousand back.
And they said they interviewed one of these finance guys
and uh. He said, well, first of all, everyone should
have three to six month living expenses. He said, if
you're an adult with that, yeah, yeah, we're out of that.
He said, if you're an adult, if you're twenty one
(07:49):
or over and you're a professional adult, you know you're
supposed to be by the n uh. He said, you
should have three to six month living expenses just in
case something happens that you don't have. You know, you
can put your hands on, but just have it where
you're not using it. And then he said, you know,
paying off take the tax return, put half of it
in the rainy.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Day fund, that's what they call it. And he said
put the other half.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Pay your credit cards off, because he said, you don't
know this, but most credit card the average credit card
interest is twenty percent.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yeah, it's brutal. It's robbery, is what it is.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And he said, pay off your credit cards, keep them
paid off. And then he said, don't worry about your
credit rating because he said, if you if you take
care of everything, you'll be in the seven hundreds, eight hundreds,
the high sevens and the low eights.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And he said you'd be able to buy anything you want.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
But it was interesting to hear a guy got put
back three to six month living expenses just in case
something happens.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yeah, but never know, you know what's more fun than
putting it in a savings account or paying off credit cards?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Buying an exotic race card?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, go ahead, you go get you that Frari.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
You know you can get you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I rode in a brand new Corvette the other day.
It was very exciting, very fast.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
You like the mid engine.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, it was quiet.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
I couldn't get over how quiet it was, and with
the engine right there, you know, it just they've done
they've done their homework.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
And it's as fast and handles as good as cars
three times as much as it.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You know, I think it might be the best American
made car in the last thirty years.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I believe you're correcting it is that comes close.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
And then figuring the paid on it so bad just
because the you know, a Corvette driver. I immediately think
of the bald, middle aged guy going through his midlife
crisis and buying a you know, a crappy nineties Corvette
RBI Corvette.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
That's what I immediately what I wanted that Corvette to be.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
But for the price point, I mean I think potentially
the only car that is better value for the number
is like a missing a GTR.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah they're good. They're good car right for.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
The price point. That Corvette is insane insanely cool.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
They have that new what is it, the z R
one and has a thousand horse power. You need a
thousand horsepower when you're headed up to home depot, you know.
That's I remember the Sheriff of Hayes County, Alan Bridges.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Allen was a good friend of mine. Rest in peace.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Alan told me he said, we ordered the chargers, and
he said, we were getting ready to order the guy
you want to hem me in there. The police intercept
her and he goes, we don't have a road in
Hayes County straight enough to get.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
To one hundred miles an hour. Give me the V sixes.
And so they put the V sixes in.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
And he told his guys, he said, don't get into
police chase with anyone because you'll wreck, you know, or
you know, they'll wreck and kill somebody.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
And he said, you got a radio, just call ahead.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
But he goes, I saved this. I saved the county
twenty thousand dollars in fuel costs and he said.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
He was very proud of that.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
You know that they were all the V six chargers,
not the not the HEMI chargers, you know, and it's good.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
To see someone in government at least some inclination sending efficiency.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
He was.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
He was a good guy. It was a good he
told me.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
He said, I'm the last sheriff that's going to be
in Hayes County because from now and you got to
be a politician. And Gary, that Gary the last sheriff
we had at Hayes Gang He told me the same thing.
And he said, man and Helio the same way. The
new sheriff that's there, a great guy. He's like, man,
you got to be a politician. Your sheriffing is done.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You know. You got to be able to deal with
the weird city to the left over here. You know,
it's where we are.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
You know, I had I had no idea that was
the reason behind it. But as a former Hayes County
resident during my time at Texas State who had a
fast car, yeah, the entirety of living there, I much
appreciate the fact that they got those V six's and
not the Hemmy interceptors.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Let's just say that.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
He told me. He said they had a video.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
He showed me the reason and they you know, they
were running dope up and down thirty five.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
You know, going to Dallas, Chicago and all.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And he said that I told the guys don't And
he said, there's a video of a dipity pulling over
one of their dope runners. And they got car you know,
blockers front and back.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Oh yeah, and he sent his tippity pulls this van
over and these guys all get out of these submachine
guns and just start peppering the sheriff's car, you know,
and he's got his glock, you know, he's laying in
the seat, you know, because the wind shiels already shot out.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
He's just shooting in space. And then they did.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
They take off, and he's like, you know, on the radio,
going good lord. And this is what Allan says. They
got nothing to lose but their lives. If they if
they're dope gets taken away, they're dead. So they're gonna fight.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
You you know.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
What if they shoot up a car load of people
just driving by, you know that they're innocent. So he said,
I don't care who takes dope in Dallas or New
York or or Chicago.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Let them let them have it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So I always thought that was a crazy take on
police say. He goes, yeah, well we let the federal
people to fight the dope people. So anyway, that was
I thought it was so great.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, yeah, way over their their paker. I thought that
was interesting though.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
About to put three to six months expenses back, I'll
get on that immediately at sixty seven.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Maybe by the time I.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Die, i'll have a month's worth, but I'm thirty nine.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Maybe by the time i'm sixty seven, I'll have three.
Speaker 1 (13:24):

speaking of podcast, but it's sure.
