Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wow, cool ride bill, Shame it's on fire. It's one
more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I'm strong, and one more thing.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Before we get to.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
This interesting car fire story. Got a mini scandal that's
existed in my family for forty years.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Practically I don't know it's a scandal or not, but.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Wow, this sounds like its own podcast. I mean, like
hodcasts series with like mood setting music and a double narrative.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well, we're about to talk about some cars out there
that can catch on fire. A recall that'll keep you
tuned around because you'd like to know. Do you think
your car is about to catch on fire? Stay tuned?
My brother had a cool Mustang in high school and
the last days he went into the Army straight out
(00:54):
of high school, and I don't remember how many days
he had between graduation and then, but anyway, is the
last day he was out with his friends uh as
a young eighteen year old, and his car burnt to
the ground out in a field in the middle of nowhere,
on the cornfield. And I've always sworn there has to
(01:14):
be something to that story. They had to be doing something.
Is him and a bunch of guys he's partying it
up before he goes off to the army. Yeah, and
his car ends up burning the ground. He's like, I
don't know, he's just always been I don't know, it just.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Caught.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
He just never believed that there isn't something more to
that story.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yeah, there's a piece missage.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I know there's got to be. Yeah, but after all
these years, you would think, yeah, we were confessed we
were hammered drunk and setting off fireworks or something. Well,
unless the story is, you know, we got into a
fight with some guys, we killed them, and we burnt
their bodies inside my car, because that's the first thing
(01:53):
I thought. Unless it's something like that, well he'd fess
up to you, wouldn't he.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Right, Or I was running a meth lab all through
high school. Finally caught up with me.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Even then, your parents should probably be pretty disappointed in him.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
But possibly he was so drunk he doesn't remember.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Oh very but I mean it was I remember driving
out to see it and it was just just the like,
well you've seen this sort of thing before from the
Palisades fire or whatever. Windows gone, the windows melted off,
the thing. I mean, it was just the skeleton of
the car. I still don't know what happened?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, wow, I've even brought it up.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I brought it up one time when we were drunk,
like twenty years after the fact, that you gotta tell
me what happened with your car?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Oh, come on, you have to have some idea.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
When you went to see it. Were there any bones
in it? Any human bone? Right? Really? Even one is
too many. So it's a there's a big recall of
some of these super high performing corvettes going on right
now because there have been a rash of cases where
they burst into flames while getting filled up with gas.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Did I hear that they're going to stop making the Corvette?
I don't somebody google that? Because they corvettes are the
coolest they've ever been. They're really cool, and they're also
really expensive. I mean you get like the top one,
it's like one hundred and fifty dollars or something like that.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah. Yeah, oh yeah. In fact, I got the data
on that. It's it's pretty amazing. And they're just ridiculously powerful. Yeah.
Because there's two models that are affected, this Z six
and the ZR one, it.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Don't look like a Corvette anymore. They look like a Lamborghini.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
And let's see, the ZR one can hit two hundred
and thirty three miles per hour. That's fast enough, which
is plenty you know, if you need to shoot a gap,
that's nice to have, yes, Katie.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, they're not discontinuing the Corvette. It's getting undergoing a
major update for the twenty twenty six model, and they're
also going to release an electric model and a.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Hybrid electric which is flame ye, so hybrid Corvette.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Maybe I'll maybe I'll finish the facts and we can discuss.
So what they figured out is probably happening is these
cars have a fan that continues to run to cool
the engine even after you after you turn the car off.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
So I'm there at the gas station with my mustache
because you have to have a mustache if you drive
a Corvette. Clearly and my two young for me girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Okay, see, now you're getting into the top of guy's
going to get into. Do you look at Corvettes and
assume the guy driving it.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Is a bit of a dB I don't with the
new ones. You don't know, No, I don't, Katie, I
don't know why. I've got like no reasoning behind this.
With the newer models. I don't, but I have most
of my life.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It totally depends to me on how they're driving it. M.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
You don't you have you ever dated a Corvette guy?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
No, it tends to be these days.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Well no, I just I just haven't.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
But you know, if I see a guy driving a Corvette,
I'm like, okay, nice car. Then if he cuts me off,
I'm like, okay, you're a douchebag with a nice car.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I don't know, and I like, like, like American made car.
So I just I don't know. I've always had an
attitude about the Corvette guy.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
So I drove a Porsche for a couple of years,
and yes, I pronounced it Porsche because I studied German
for years and years and I just can't bring myself
to mispronounce it. On the other hand, my brother, who
studied German for years and years, Yeah, that's his fixed,
pronounces the coffee machine the Koi rig because that is
(05:41):
the proper German and I don't even go that far.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
So you draw a line.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Anyway, There's there's a joke, what's the difference between a
porcupine and a Porsche? And the difference is with a
porcupine a pricks are on the outside, meaning there's a
high dB ratio among people who drive that particular automobile.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Reminds me a girl in high school. They always used
to say, I won't use her name because she's probably
a very nice, upstanding mom at this point, her grandma maybe,
But I remember, you know what the difference between Oh,
I don't even want to make up a name, because
there might be somebody with that name.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Do you know what the difference between so and so
and a Mercedes is not everyone's been in a Mercedes?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
No boy, oh boy.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
So you're saying she's a whore.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
She was loose, she's loose sexually speaking, generally, the sort of.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Joke that high school boys make about some girl that
they wish they could be with, but they haven't been
near one hundred percent ratio.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yes, oh so, yeah, pretending to reject that which has
rejected you. Right, Yeah, I don't think she's hot at all.
Don't say that guy's ever. Don't just don't trust anyway.
I just think there could be a higher ratio of
dbishness among the drivers of certain cars, but it's nowhere
(07:05):
near one hundred percent. I've known some wonderful of course.
Of course, of course you are enthusiasts of cars that
tend to attract, like, look at me, how cool I
am DB's But one must not stereos of course. All right.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
My brother, same brother, he had a Corvette for a while. Yeah,
and I like my brother. Yeah, and I continue to
make those jokes. I don't know why I continue to
make those jokes.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
It's your bad person.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So anyway, a guy who gets flipped off for what
he drives almost every day of my life. Ah right,
driving a cyber truck, right right. Kind of got a
big one the other day from a street person. I
want to say, you live on the street.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Wait.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Even though he's not really worth with the administration anymore,
people are still.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Oh, keeping you off.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
You're a junkie loser, and you're giving me the finger
for driving this truck. Ye live in the bushes?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
How can you flip me off because of what I
choose to drive?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeh Wow, you're looked down upon by people who live
in shrubs.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
My son was so confused about that, and he was
really close to our car, so it was kind of
st bearded and crazy brown teeth, flipping me off with
both barrels.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Wow, this psychology of that is so interesting. But so
what happens with these cars evidently is if the gas
pump malfunctions and spills gas, the fan can blow it
onto the hot engine in rare you know incidents. But
(08:45):
you've got to have a defective pump.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
But then you come out in your cool corvette is
with your too young for your girlfriend. It's burnt to
the ground. She's standing there looking at the smoldering.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Chassis right, looks at you with your mustache, and says,
what do we do now?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
She decides to walk over. She watched, So I just
walk over and find another paunched, bald, older man to
get with.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
The mustached exactly. Well, I hope your car doesn't burn
to the ground.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah that's a drag, yep. But so they're not discontuning that,
they're going to redo it.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
The only thing is I mean, I really I think
the new Corvettes are really cool, but they don't look
like a Corvette. Every time I see one from far away,
I think, is that a Ferrari? Is that a Lamborghini?
Oh no, it's one of the new Corvettes. They went
with a really euro look to it, which always had
just that very They all look like corvettes over the years.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
You know, I've got another speedy car right now, but
it's netsuv. Actually it's ridiculous. But if you really want
a rocket sledge, you gotta go electric.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Oh yeah, there's no comparison between electric and anything else.
But it doesn't have this cool sound though, right, You
really miss that?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, I do have a pretty cool exhaust. No chicks,
digg it? I think I wouldn't know, because don't. I
don't talk to any women, but they're not very hot anyway.
Probably a lesbian who.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Else flipped me off the other day had to this weekend.
He was a college age woman. Shocking, but I was
thinking about this after the Charlie Kirk assassination. Let's not
get dark here on the podcast. But the guy, the
angriest person who ever flipped me off. I'm pulling into
the grocery store, this guy pulling out in like a
(10:31):
nine hundred dollars bondoed car. Yeah, just both hands done.
Any's screaming, fuck you, fuck you. I mean he was
just so angry, like he wanted to fight me. And
I thought this is insane.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Ye while he has that Coexist bumper sticker on the
back of his car right right.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I mean your body language and bright red face would
indicate you want me to suffer physical harm. It's murderous rage. Yeah,
certainly violent rage over the car I choose to drive
because you associated to some politics. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah, you really are unhinged.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah we need we need less of that. Has there
ever been a car that's had that kind of anger
at it? No, there's never anything even close. Not even close.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I wouldn't think so.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I mean, I might mock a pt cruiser, but I'm
not gonna scream you.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I had so much fun mocking piece.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
It's a fine retro looking vehicle.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Try to get any action in one of those. You
let me know how that go.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yeah, good luck.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Well, I guess that's it.
