The lovely 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,079 and talented Nick Miles. We have lots of features on this program that bring 5 00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:23,079 helpful and important information to folks. And what's more important than how we get 6 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:28,719 around the cars and our auto expert dot com deals with all kinds of things 7 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:34,600 that our car related. Auto related the strike against the United Autoworkers or I 8 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:40,640 guess the United Autoworkers' strike against the Big three? So we had was it 9 00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:46,840 Ford made the deal last week? It looks like Chrysler they have a tentative 10 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,560 settlement there, right. Isn't that what usually happens that they all one makes 11 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,719 the deal and then they all rest of them fall in line. Would you 12 00:00:53,759 --> 00:00:57,679 say that was the way? Its exactly yes, And they like to do 13 00:00:57,719 --> 00:01:00,719 it at the same time so they can strike at this time, right, 14 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,120 that's all strike, Let's all get back together. So there are the how 15 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,359 many people have been on striking these various companies? Do you know? Offhand? 16 00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:19,079 I think it's around eight thousands, but it's about eight thousand Doug. 17 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:25,120 It goes in and out. It depends on exactly what you know, what 18 00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:29,480 plants are on strike because they didn't call a mass strike where everybody it came 19 00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:34,680 out. It changes as they open and shut different different factories. Yeah, 20 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,640 there's a video floating around that shows a helicopter working for a television station getting 21 00:01:40,719 --> 00:01:46,680 hit by fireworks during the Grand Prix. How in the world did that thing 22 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,719 even survive that? Did you see the audio and the video of that? 23 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,280 Yes, actually it's actually on Twitter. And this is one of the scariestest 24 00:01:56,359 --> 00:02:01,400 moments I've ever seen. This was definitely somebody who wasn't and got too close. 25 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,680 The pilot, however, managed to actually get the helicopter out of danger 26 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,719 pretty quickly, but there was a second there. Now you can see it 27 00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:13,159 in the video. It's extremely scary and you think the helicopter is going to 28 00:02:13,159 --> 00:02:15,199 come down, and if that had come down in that crowd of four hundred 29 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:21,719 thousands in Austin, Texas, that would have been one damage to never forget. 30 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:28,960 Yeah, for sure, all right, Ford is cutting their investment and 31 00:02:29,039 --> 00:02:32,719 the manufacturing of electric vehicles. This sort of follows hand in hand with what 32 00:02:32,759 --> 00:02:39,960 I've been saying about the overproduction of these things. And Ford finally figured because 33 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:46,159 they posted a loss of over a billion dollars, because they're losing thirty six 34 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,840 thousand dollars on every one of the electric vehicles that they make and sell. 35 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:58,120 This is mind barglingly stupid. Why this is back to falling into some almost 36 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,080 cult like we've got to save the planet, so buy an electric vehicle. 37 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,759 Huh No, So now they're going to stop be more right, doug this 38 00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:12,719 they are. They're going to slow it down at least. The trouble is 39 00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:15,759 that there's legislation in place that the government put in place which really forces them 40 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,400 to have to do this and bring down the amount of carbon they output from 41 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,000 these vehicles. So there has to be a better alternative. It's going to 42 00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:30,120 cost a Ford four point five billion dollars just this year alone in the amount 43 00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:31,919 of money that they've got. They're scaling back by twelve million. Then they're 44 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:37,400 planned ev investments to align with the really custom demand because customers don't want them. 45 00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:40,159 They're losing so much money. It's really hard to see a way forward 46 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:46,639 in these electric vehicles. You can't because there's no future forum seven years and 47 00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:50,479 they'll be done, they'll be toast. All right, here's the story of 48 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,159 a rediscovered Dolorean. I wonder if even James you know what Dolorian is. 49 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,439 This is always the term back to the future, right, Well, okay, 50 00:03:59,479 --> 00:04:03,520 well that's how people know the DeLorean was a car company, the namesake 51 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,599 for the fellow who came up with it, and yeah, we remember great 52 00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:13,639 Scott. There's one that was found from nineteen eighty one. Nick. It 53 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,560 was the same model as used in the movie, had nine hundred and seventy 54 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:24,240 seven miles on it, and the owner wanted to sort of restore it again. 55 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,879 What do you suppose that would be worth? Ooh, that's a tough 56 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,079 one because because it's really how much money you can get for them. You 57 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,680 know, at auction, these things could go for a huge amount of money. 58 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,600 They didn't make that many I think they were nine thousand originally. Yeah, 59 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,000 they made nine thousand, yeah, yeah, yeah, so it's obviously 60 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,920 worth quite a pretty penny and then restored a lot more. In fact, 61 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:53,680 they're usually in glass cases when they're displayed at auto shows. When somebody gets 62 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,279 one and puts it on display, so one with only one thousand miles on 63 00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:01,279 it, that's pretty valuable. Yep, I would think so. I thought 64 00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:04,959 this had an interesting, kind of a cute story. A parade of eighty 65 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:13,879 three cars and drivers for a birthday. A local car company announced on Facebook 66 00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:16,720 they were going to have this special birthday for a special person, and they 67 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,759 had a car parade. And this is near Nashville, of all kinds of 68 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,399 eighty three different cars, different kinds of cars. I didn't even know there 69 00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:28,959 were eighty three different you know, cars and models. So kind of a 70 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,759 nice thing for this lady and her son loved. I love it. Yeah, 71 00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:39,079 that's cute, all right, Nick Miles, our autoexpert dot com. 72 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,519 The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in 73 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,199 part by Kelitron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and 74 00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:50,120 keep it off, and also by prevagent keeping your brain healthy.
