At about seven forty over on the Legacy Retirement Group
dot com phone line. He is the host of Saturday
Morning Open Phones and Auto Smarts and a bunch of
other irons in the fire. It's Dan Boots Launch and
net It's up Boots.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Oh not much, buddy. I was going to come in
this morning, but I was at the shop till two
am because the infamous good Guys this weekend and I'm
down to the wire. It's customer cars, got my cars,
and I'm just freaking out.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
It's car show season, man, this is this is like
Christmas for you, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Well. I try to keep it that way, but sometimes
it gets frustrating when you you know, if you have
a classic car or an old car and it's not breaking,
if you tell someone it's not breaking, then you're lying
because something's going to break on the nicest cars. And
I do love it, but I'm getting up at my age,
so it's hard to get up up and down off
that concrete garage floor of my shop. I I've got
(00:55):
a weird corvette i'm building, so I'm calling a Frank
and Vett because the rods are cool nowadays. I'm kind
of trying to that path and do the burnout competition
and all that fun stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So yeah, so good guys. Car show this weekend at
the Ohio Expo Center. So what do you do. You've
got You've got customers and clients that you help get
their cars ready.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, I've got a fifty five T Bird in there
right now we're working on. I've got a Dodge what
do you called Dodge Star Demon or whatever thing is.
I'm not a big boll park guy, but I got
a running and just customer side jobs I do. And
I only have two rules. You gotta have money, and
your wife's got to know, because I don't need your
wife yelling at me. I've got an ex wife and
(01:34):
a current wife, so I don't need your yelling at
me too.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
You gotta have money, and your wife's got to know
that I'm working on your car. You're spending it.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
That's great, Yeah, because dudes li all the time. We're
always spent two grand. Well, no, you spent five. And
here comes Karen with the checkbook. You put on your
debit card, you dinged on.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
So funny, that's so funny. So, and these cars are
cars you can actually work on because today's cars. I mean,
they're more computer than the our machine.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, that's why I send them to Western Automotive, have
him plug and play. And when the new cars aren't
that bad, it's just if you do your research and
you know which cars are good and which you're not,
and you don't get it caught up into the trendy thing.
And let's face that, I love Harley's too. I've had
about fifteen of them in my lifetime, but they're still
they don't ride as good, they don't handle as good.
(02:24):
But you're not cool unless you're in a Harley. So
their marketing department did a good job thinking it's all
we were. Even our dentists will pull a knife on
you on a Harley because he thinks he's a bad
You know, it's all. It's all about perception. But you know,
some new cars, if they do act up, you just
seriously just scan them and it usually tells you what's wrong.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
The problem is there's some auto places out there will
scan it and give you a basic scan and then
you have the I call it the old plug and
the old uh this plug and play and buy and
put it in and put it. Pretty soon you got
a lot of money wrapped up into it, and you
should have just took it to a rust ReSpectacle repair
shop and they would have scanned it with the high
dollar scandal. Instead of want a little handheld ones, you
(03:05):
can buy an Amazon. So that's the problem there. But
old cars, yeah, us guys are dying off, unfortunately. And
here's something's going through your curveball. In about ten years,
these classic cars are going to take a big dive.
Street rods, first gen Camaros and try five Chevrolets, like
fifty seven Chevies. As you know, I love, they're dropping
(03:27):
in value because the guys that want them are passing away.
To say it terribly, you know, they're in their seventies
and eighties. Now I'm just I'm an old fifty seven.
But it's just yeah, I mean, I like old cars.
I love a thirty two to four and I love
a fifty seven Chevy. But the baby boomers now are
cashing into four oh one k and they want a
(03:49):
smoking the band of transam or they won a seventy
three Pontiac Grand Prix that twenty years ago no one
even look at. So they remember the car that mom
did the first little burnout and they want to relive that,
you know where mom wasn't looking. They stuck the car
out of the house back in seventy eight to seventy nine.
So even LTV two's are becoming hot.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
So you're saying that there's just going to be a
less of a demand because you know, big people in
their thirties and forties just don't have the desire to
get some of these cars from the fifties and sixties, right.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
They don't want them now if they have air power brakes.
My buddy Larry Pendleton and recruising classics, we often talk
about it. It's it's like he gets like an original
fifty seven convertible and if you put power brakes, air conditioning,
updated suspension, you got jags right in our backyard, and
just go ahead and get what you need to modernize it.
Then you now have a two hundred and fifty three
hundred thousand dollars car. You've got an original fifty seven convertible.
(04:41):
I don't care how nice it is. It's probably seventy
five grand. We're back in ninety six it was one
hundred and twenty t one hundred and fifty thousand, So
it's taking a shift right now, And so.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
You're saying, if you want to get into if you
want to get into a classic car, and you're not
somebody who already is in the business, maybe wait a
couple of years and you might get a deal.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I think I think it's going to drop. I really do.
I mean, unfortunately, every few months I hear about another
one of my cruisers passing away. You know, you know,
playing Bob for the story. Oh Bob just had a
massive heart attack and I can't believe it. Well, Bob
was eighty two years old, smoked cigarettes, party, was in
a few wars, and he just lived in the American dream.
(05:22):
You know, Bob, don't run the marathons, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Hey, So speaking with Dan Boots, launching that host of
Saturday Morning Open Phones and Auto Smarts and getting ready
for the Good Guy's Car Show this weekend. So we're
middle of the year, Boots, when do the when does
the twenty twenty six model start arriving at dealerships where
I could maybe start looking at getting a little bit
of a discount on a twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Well, see, right now, we're still post pandemic. They sold
about seven million less cars during the pandemic. Approximately, think
about that. Because people weren't buying, they weren't building, so
the mark gets really screwed up. So I don't think
the manufacturers are going to jump early like they have
in the past. Okay, and the rates are coming down slowly,
(06:08):
but a lot of manufacturers are throwing out low interest rates.
Leasing is getting better. Finally, a lot of guys are
pulling their horns in close because the manufacturers don't know
what the market is going to bring. But what I
can tell you is it'll be normal. You know, like
September October, there will be in sentims on some leftovers.
But usually nowadays the cars that are left over are
(06:29):
cars that people don't want because the accountants and the
uh you know, the people that what do you want
to watch the charts of what's selling and what's not
they know and they're not going to build cars that
aren't selling. So if you watch like Honda, at the
end of the day it comes September or October, they're
usually out of twenty five and then the twenty six
(06:49):
is will hit. Now, go back in time, remember when
the Ford probe, which I think is hilarious. Yeah, name
of a car probe, but something when you go of
doctors scope as they feel a Colonoscarby always called it
the Colonoscar Bey Forward. But the thing about that they
came out back in those days. I believe they came
(07:11):
out in late eighty seven. They were titled as an
eighty nine. Now it's been almost forty years. I'm trying
to remember exactly. But the manufacturers used to do that
very well. But over time, with all the technology and
the data they can, they can, you know, control what
comes out and what doesn't. So I wouldn't get it
that excited. If you can find a leftover, great, but
(07:33):
a lot of cars are left over. Is say a
car that people have had bad luck with it, and
do your research. There's so many bad cars still out there.
And make no mistake, our fine government makes us do
all these regulations on these cars, and everyone wants every
little technology upgrade. And the Lemon laws are out of
control right now because the manufacturers are pushing these and
pushing them and pushing them, trying to get them out
(07:55):
on the market, and they don't know what's going to
happen while it's on a warranty, and they have war
chiefs forever now, you know, back to a fifty seven Chevy.
I think you had ninety days or three thousand miles
if you were lucky. They didn't have warranties back then. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Interesting, Hey, listen, I gotta let you fly man. Have
a great time this weekend at the car show. Good guys,
car show, and you're going to be in the Chevy
or what do you got?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
What are you going to be, Shelly, I'm gonna take
the ship. I'm gonna take the Frank Convett, and I've
got some be at the Jay Extent. Please stop, buy
and CS. We'll do a live remote and then we
got to our right at Foundation a week after that.
So we've got two giant shows and then one more thing,
the golf cart. We still have tickets left for that,
and we're giving away advance for flight right honor flight.
Yeah on the ninth, On August ninth, we'll be drawing
(08:39):
a name. There's only twenty five hundred tickets. I think
there's only by eight hundred left, so it's only twenty bucks.
Go on a flight Columbus and try to buy your ticket.
It's a fifteen thousand dollars golf cart from Ride, power
Sports and many great sponsors, so we're all about on
our flight in my world, that's for sure.
