It is a 16 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.560 lot I don't care who you are, it's a lot of pressure. Now, 17 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.879 Oh my god, it's a lot of pressure. No, No, 18 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.200 what was that all about? Like he would all of a sudden stop and 19 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.239 then look down and say, but it was Freddy krueger Man, I'm going 20 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.400 to do it. I mean it was. It's spooky for a fact, 21 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.439 Yeah, it's spooky, it is. But I don't like the way you 22 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.319 make fun of this elderly gentleman. Yeah, that's true. Well you make 23 00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.879 fun of me Mark, Well that's do you think. Here's the thing, 24 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:07.079 though, Biden has not been kicked off of match dot com. That's the 25 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:09.400 good point. You know how hard that would be. How do you get 26 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.759 kicked off of a dating site for desperate people. I'll tell you how my 27 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:20.159 profile was so good that other people used it for nefarious purposes. No, 28 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.479 I think I think I think they when they met him that the women complained 29 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:30.680 of fraud in the inducement and a false misrepresentation and all he had a picture 30 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.520 of Brad Pitt up there we got sent to me, just mixed up with 31 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:39.360 inches. That was a problem. Now let's talk to David. Hello, 32 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:44.840 David, what's happening with you? Man? What's going on? Hey? 33 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.400 Tom, how are you doing? I'm doing good? What's happening. Yeah, 34 00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:51.159 good, Hey, So, yeah, I just wanted to get some 35 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.879 exposure to uh to an event that happened to me. So I'm an entrepreneur, 36 00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:04.240 and I just registered a new LLC company within the Colorio Security or Secretary 37 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:08.400 of State website. Okay, just happened to get a piece of mail that 38 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:15.120 looked incredible. It says, yeah, if you want to do you want 39 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:21.719 to request a form for a certificate of good standing and a checkup seventy dollars 40 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:23.120 to this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. You 41 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.520 know what though, here here's the thing. As soon as you and I 42 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.120 register businesses, not quite a bit, but now and then so I just 43 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:36.159 did an LLC not long ago, and and I don't know, somebody might 44 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:40.039 They must sell. They sell the data obviously, because absolutely, because I 45 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:44.800 get like banking banks that want me to open up a checking account, credit 46 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.319 cards that want to extend me credit for the company. And then the other 47 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:52.400 one is keeping your corporate records. Now. But but what David's talking about, 48 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.639 it's not as scam as you know. It's basically it's valid. They 49 00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.919 will send it to you for seventy bucks, but you can download it on 50 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.240 the Secretary of State. That's exactly right, Mark, in five minutes. 51 00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:08.319 The certificate of good standing you can download now. I happen to in one 52 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:12.919 of my investment portfolios have some royal gas and oil royalties. And I am 53 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:20.240 forever getting emails and snail mail from people who say, you have some kind 54 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:26.519 of registry. You know, you have a limited time or or five days 55 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:32.480 or third notice you must register your securities or just me your royalties in this 56 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.959 registry. Right, And then in small print somewhere on there, it says 57 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:41.160 it's no official. In other words, it's just somebody started a registry and 58 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:45.000 then they charge you to be on it. It's crazy, all of the 59 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.040 things out there, just I mean, it's it is weird. And like 60 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.839 Mark said, if you pay them, they will send you a certificate of 61 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:56.680 good standing. Oh sure, yeah, isn't that weird? What company? 62 00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.560 What do they call themselves? Yeah? So, and this is the interesting 63 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:05.759 part, right, because usually it's unnamed and I unidentified, but this one 64 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:11.839 was very specifically named, very specifically identified at an address, right. And 65 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:17.439 so this particular company is called Colorado Corporate Certificates, and you look them up 66 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:21.759 and their addresses in Colorado. I bet it's dot dot us. I bet 67 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:29.439 it's uh now it's a dot com actually okay, so so so people out 68 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.160 there listening, the only true government sites literally end in g o V dot 69 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:39.319 gov, not dot us dot us. Almost anybody can get, yeah for 70 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.279 sure. And that's where to Mark's point, there's I mean, the it's 71 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.360 public information, so anybody can access this, uh the information when you register 72 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.120 in LLC and you can see some of the documentation. But that that's where 73 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:54.560 they prey on you, right, And it's it and again it's it's did 74 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.160 you hesitate? Did you were you going to send it in at first? 75 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.199 Well, because well it's caught my attention, right, And and that's where 76 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:06.240 yes, I thought, oh, maybe I didn't have a particular fee that 77 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.600 I paid or something, or I need to pay a fee for for a 78 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:15.399 yearly base, but which you do need to do. But it's it's one 79 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.560 of those things where yeah, they'll and I'm sure they'll actually send you the 80 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.720 certificate that they can get free from the web and that you can get and 81 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:27.199 that everyone can get any but you see, I still I call it a 82 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.120 scam. It's not technically a scam, but it's a scam. You know. 83 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:35.079 I mean, it's it's just eving and and that that that fliny right, 84 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.959 you know what. So I was talking to my partner and we were 85 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:46.600 we were even joking about sending like a glitter bomb or something to the ad. 86 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.600 But but yeah, I thought better of that. But what I do, 87 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:54.480 Yeah, I have fun sometimes with people, like I mean, I 88 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:59.240 get all kinds of stuff I I like. I like not glitter bombs. 89 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.680 But I say things to people sometimes when they catch me on the phone on 90 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.759 a bad day and I'll say, you know, you have to do that. 91 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:09.000 I said, I don't want to. And they said, but you 92 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.319 know, there's a penalty, and I said, penalize me. Please triple 93 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.480 it for me. And you know, or or if you think I owe 94 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.879 something, come after me, you know, come after me. I want 95 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.519 you to. In fact, I want to go to court. I miss 96 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:28.959 court. It's just so crazy anyway. Bottom line, a certificate of good 97 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:34.800 standing can be downloaded at any time, at any time, and there is 98 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:40.959 only one legit report and it's a hidden tax for corps and LLCs, and 99 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.959 that is this little card that used to be a card they send you and 100 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.839 you fill it out, but now you go online and every year you have 101 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:54.800 to fill out an updated card on your business entity. Now they pass it 102 00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.800 into law, and it's just a secret tax, that's all it is. 103 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.639 Because you pay five or ten bucks for that renewal and that's and if you 104 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.519 don't do it, you're in delinquent status and you don't get a certificate of 105 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:11.079 good standing. But that is the biggest crock of crap I've ever seen. 106 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:16.040 And it's it's a part of the state and I think it even predated Polis. 107 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.560 It's been there where you have to do that, you have to do 108 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:26.399 that thing and said and and here's another deep dark secret. Anyone can go 109 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:31.960 in to your corporate record and file a document. Anyone, anyone. Now 110 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.279 you must put down and they don't verify it. Who is it that has 111 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.000 authorization to file this? Who are you? You put your name down and 112 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.600 you pay the fee, but it doesn't matter. You can you can change 113 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:50.720 someone's LLC name to Mickey Mouse or whatever. It's amazing to me, how 114 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:58.080 Lucy goosey. These online systems are three oh three seven one three talk three 115 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:03.000 oh three seven one three eight two five five. Now we we are talking 116 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.080 about yes, deputy done, okay, And what is what we'll do it 117 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.080 after a break? What is the follow up on? Remember about the woman 118 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.200 who's going to be evictedd after she had lived in a place for years and 119 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.320 years? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, okay, let's talk about that. 120 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.759 Did you call it a trailer? No? No, no, no, 121 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:26.279 it was an apartment. And what do you know about They say, every 122 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.840 single every single AT and T customer, not one was left out, had 123 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.039 all of their text records. I didn't know they kept records. Oh my 124 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.759 god, who do I pay? They they downloaded all my text records? 125 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.080 Uh? Oh, anyway, I'm just kidding. I don't text anything. 126 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.279 I wouldn't say, well, yes I do, and Mark, you would 127 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.440 be rested for your text to me. I'm telling you anyway. So I 128 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:58.000 don't I don't know if that's true what you're saying. I don't know yet. 129 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.000 Well that's what it says, you know, whether it's true or not. 130 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.720 I see they had a data breach that was pretty high, but I 131 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.519 don't see that they got the text were the text But I don't know that 132 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:15.799 that's specifically texts records were downloaded. Now, when it says text records, 133 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.919 is it who you text or what you text and and really I want to 134 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:22.919 I don't know. I want to ask everybody something. First of all, 135 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:28.159 if you text something you don't want to see online or you don't want to 136 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.639 see public, then don't text it. Have you ever texted I had someone? 137 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.000 I had someone in that building. I'm not going to say who it 138 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.240 was, but he was a very high up and the iHeart building tell me 139 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:45.600 something that he was told by one of the main people in iHeart. Never 140 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.360 put anything in writing, not in text, not an email. And that's 141 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.639 smart talk. And it's not because it's wrong, it's the way it can 142 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:58.000 be interpreted. But obviously you know you never put anything in an email or 143 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.120 in a text, no matter who your friend is or anyone, that you 144 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.600 don't want to be made public. And here's what it used to be. 145 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.480 If you did, if you did a screw those pictures Suzanne sent to me, 146 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.120 she shouldn't have that's her. Oh never. Never, even if it's 147 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:15.679 your own that's right. Even if it's your own wife or children, or 148 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.399 it's your relatives and you think you're doing you know, a dirty joke or 149 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.759 some stupid slur, you can't do that stuff. Now here's the deal. 150 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:31.799 These there's no there's no going away. That's the problem. Everything you've ever 151 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.720 done wrong is still there. Now the popularity goes down a bit, but 152 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.960 everyone can just do a deep search and find anything. It used to be 153 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.360 when you did something and you screwed up, right, Like when I used 154 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:46.519 to be on the air on TV and if I had to screw up, 155 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.159 it would be done. Every once in a while we'd have a blooper reel. 156 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:56.919 But but it died at the station. Now everything is out there forever, 157 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.679 everything, everything, And it's so it is so important to tell your 158 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.759 kids that too. Man. These teenagers have no clue. Man. Yeah, 159 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.720 this whole sexing thing walking in no, no, that's a sexting thing 160 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:15.639 is so outrageously dangerous. And the snapchats. People think snapchats go away is 161 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.600 not a big deal. You can screenshot everyone you get. One of the 162 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:24.720 biggest scams is when they get these teenage boys to think they're talking to a 163 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.639 lovely young lady. I know, and it turns out to be a scam, 164 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.399 and there have been suicides because of it. They threaten too. I 165 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.919 know. It's so sible.

And I want to 180 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:45.679 explain this because he wants to gather information about the entire market. Why well, 181 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.039 if somebody calls him to list, he can say, you know what, 182 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:50.039 there were some comps over here, some comps over there.

Mike has a comment on privacy. 191 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:31.519 We were talking about text messaging and emails and anything else online. It's 192 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:37.399 there forever there is nothing private. I can find out anything about anybody at 193 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.480 any time, and so can you. Mike, go ahead, Yeah, 194 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.480 I listened to you on the Heart radio app. And you know how they 195 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.840 have advertisements on that. Well, I don't know if you see him Ober 196 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.519 this a couple of months ago. You had this elder lead woman who was 197 00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:00.720 moving and the moving company destroyeder Bose radio. Yes, yes, Bose Radio, 198 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:05.039 that's right. Yeah, And I and the next day what pops up 199 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:13.080 on the advertisement Bose advertisement for radio sound systems. Yeah, that's normal though. 200 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.399 Yeah, but it was on yours. You're saying, it's on my 201 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.639 phone. I heard it, but I was listening to you. Yeah, 202 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.919 I know what you're saying. So it hurt it and it cataloged it. 203 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:30.600 So we're being listened to all the time. I know. I can't tell 204 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.919 you how many times I've talked about stuff and then it came up on my 205 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.720 search. Yeah. But a lot of people think it's just a coincidence. 206 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.480 Of course not. When you install a lot of these apps, you agree 207 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.639 to let the phone listen to you and advertise to you. That's crazy, 208 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:52.120 and Mike, thank you for that experience. Now, there have been cases 209 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.399 where you're listening, like he was, to a radio show and you're you're 210 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.279 Alexis hears it. Now, they may not order something, although they have 211 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:06.399 in the past that's happened, but it does think you're thinking about it and 212 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:14.000 will send Amazon adds to you. So it's crazy now, Rita, Yes, 213 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:18.480 what's going on with you? Rita? Well, I have an issue 214 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.720 that's costing me ten thousand, five hundred and ninety seven dollars. How the 215 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:29.159 hell did you figure ten thy nine hundred and seventy whatever, five hundred and 216 00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:33.320 seventy How is it costing you that? Well, we had hired someone to 217 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:41.000 come and stain the patio floor, and that was in twenty three. Now 218 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.559 this is a concrete patio floor, correct and okay? And so you hired 219 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:52.879 a contractor to stain it. And what happened? They came in September and 220 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:59.399 they applied the stain. I went to the winter months and made this around 221 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:07.680 May April and May I started noticing that the stain was separating from the concrete 222 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.039 and there were bubbles. It just looked like somebody had come along with us. 223 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:15.839 Oh, so the stain started, It didn't penetrate deep into the concrete. 224 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:22.200 Huh correct? Okay, Then what happened? So May the second I 225 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:29.960 sent an email explaining to the owner that after trying to reach her by the 226 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.160 way for three times, I had tried to reach her and she did not 227 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.880 respond. So I left a message and still did not hear. And then 228 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.079 I said, now, how did you find how did you find this company? 229 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:48.400 To begin? Recommended? Recommended by a friend? Yes, okay, 230 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:53.519 and this friend actually used him. No, then why did they recommend them? 231 00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:02.319 Because they had heard about them? Through neighbors. It was my friend's 232 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:07.240 neighbor had heard about seal Wise. And so okay, it's called seal Wise, 233 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:14.519 correct F E A L W I V E. And and this seal 234 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:22.319 Wise who is it? You've said her? Who is her? Victoria More 235 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:30.079 is the owner. And yes, and this is in Colorado Springs, okay, 236 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:37.039 and I believe she purchased the business from her father in law. Now 237 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:41.720 tell me where this, tell me where this money comes in? This? 238 00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.240 Uh? This ten thousand? Hey hey real quick, tom, so you 239 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:51.680 understand hold on please, seal Wise is all over the country. A franchise. 240 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:55.359 Yeah, they're a franchise, and they're concrete coding. Just so you 241 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.720 know, it's not just that there's more than one. Yeah. I kind 242 00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:03.599 of figure that when I was looking at so anyway, what happened then? 243 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.000 So they did the job and we paid it. Wait was this a ten 244 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:14.160 thousand dollars job? Yes, sir, what the hell for staining concrete? 245 00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:18.000 You paid ten grand? Well wait just a minute, Well we had the 246 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:26.440 driveway was powerwashed as well, and the sidewalks in the front of the house 247 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:32.519 they were powerwashed, but they were not sealed. The patio was powerwashed and 248 00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:37.839 sealed with stain. That's still not worth ten grand. Powerwashing is a few 249 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.839 hundred bucks. I don't even know. Okay, so where are we going 250 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.960 with this? What happened then? Okay? So on May the second, 251 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:51.160 twenty twenty four, I sent her an email indicating that I tried to call 252 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:56.680 her three times and I've had no response. The damage on the patio needed 253 00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.279 to be addressed and taken care of by the company, and please do this 254 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:07.839 immediately, your company card says or your business card says, floors done right? 255 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:12.400 Well, okay, well, let's just skip to the let's skip to 256 00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:15.920 the chase. Here. Are they going to do it or not? I 257 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:22.000 have not heard from them. There's been no response. It's obviously not done 258 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.160 right. It's it is. It is bubbling. Do you have pictures of 259 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:32.480 this? Pardon? Do you have pictures of this defect? You didn't get 260 00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:36.240 it done. You didn't get it fixed yet? Right, correct. I've 261 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:41.000 had two concrete people come to give me an estimate. What did they say? 262 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.039 What did they say it would cost to fix? Well, they were 263 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.279 shocked to hear the price, like you were. But they did say that 264 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:56.359 it is a costly work a project. I mean you mean to fix it. 265 00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:00.759 Yes, well, what you would have to do basically, it's not 266 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.640 going to be that costly. It would be you would have to do concrete 267 00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:08.039 coding. You would get a good company in there to grind it down and 268 00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:12.440 just do a coding, not a stain. Stains don't work unless that concrete 269 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:17.519 is porous enough. A lot of concrete is sealed and you're not going to 270 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:22.200 get a good grip of the stain. So, as I said, we 271 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:27.880 need to have somebody call these clowns or this Victoria in Colorado Springs at seal 272 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:34.519 Wise. So hey, Kachina, let's look at the case load and give 273 00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:38.599 it to someone. Go what were you saying, Rita? The email that 274 00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:42.640 I sent gives you all that information her address, name, phone, and 275 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:47.880 is your information on there for us to call you? Oh? Yes, 276 00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:49.440 it is all right. Let's do this. Let's figure this out, or 277 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:52.079 see if Kelly can get them to come on the air.

Hi, Victoria, thank you so 287 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:52.440 much. I'm Tom and we Rita called and said, basically, she hired 288 00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:57.559 you guys at seal Wise to do her patios and it's bubbling, and she 289 00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:06.039 wondered about her warranty. Yeah, of course, so I don't believe we 290 00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:11.920 have a signed warranty for her job. I went out there last month. 291 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.400 Yeah, to take a look at it. Uh huh, got some pictures 292 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.359 and everything. Personally in the pictures I have, I don't see bubbling. 293 00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:26.000 Oh really followed up. I'm looking at it on June twenty seventh. Yeah, 294 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:30.079 but see if we could. I sent her an email. I wanted 295 00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.440 to follow up with you on your back patio. I believe the best solution 296 00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:38.119 is to remove the areas where the steeler is coming off and fading reapply to 297 00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:42.680 stay that use a different topical seiler. What are your thoughts on that solution? 298 00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.559 And Victoria, did you get an answer to that? I have not. 299 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:56.240 The only thing I got was yesterday saying just said, I mean it's 300 00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:00.920 kind of a long email from her, but just that I need to follow 301 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:06.319 up by July twenty sixth. May I ask you, Victoria, you said 302 00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:08.160 a couple of things I just wanted to ask you about. You said, 303 00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:12.599 So, you guys did the job there, and you prep the con From 304 00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:17.240 what I heard, you prep it then then then you stain it, then 305 00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:22.920 you seal it. Yeah. So the product that we used on Rita's job 306 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:26.440 is a penetrated steeler. So we come out and we pressure was washed the 307 00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:33.680 entire surface and I think the specific areas that she's earn't happy with are the 308 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:41.240 back patio. So yeah, because okay, so did you you did see 309 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.880 some areas though that some areas that were fading? Yes, for sure. 310 00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:52.279 Definitely a couple of areas that are are fading out color wise. Now why 311 00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:59.839 do you feel they faded? You know, I and I called our supply 312 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:07.119 about that because we haven't had this issue before. Yeah, supposedly from the 313 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.480 pictures I have, there's some chalkiness, so like calcium deposits in the concrete 314 00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:17.880 that I believe are causing the sealer not to adhere as well as it should. 315 00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.160 But do you think a redo of the job would correct it? So 316 00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:27.000 that's why I think using a different topical sealer would be a better solution than 317 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:33.279 the product we used previously. And did your supplier agree with that? Yeah? 318 00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:37.599 Okay, that's very logical. But may I ask you something here? 319 00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:42.880 Victoria said that she's willing to redo the areas that are fading or where the 320 00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:48.759 sealer is failing. Excuse me, not the sealer, the stain. Why 321 00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:56.000 don't you at least give them an opportunity to correct this? Truthfully, that's 322 00:25:56.039 --> 00:26:00.640 what I was trying to work for ever since. May Let's try it. 323 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:03.839 I mean, let's try it. I mean, you can't go wrong giving 324 00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:08.319 them the opportunity to fix it and then see what happens. Because she sounds 325 00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:11.160 willing to do it. You said you hadn't heard from her though, and 326 00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:15.839 she said she sent you this sea correct when did you send that email? 327 00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:25.160 Victoria? It was but Victoria knows that we've had that issue before with phone 328 00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:29.319 calls as she says that she's tried to call and sent me texts and sent 329 00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.720 me some mail and I've not received any of it yet. She has received 330 00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:37.440 mine. That's what I don't understand. It is super strange. I'm not 331 00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:42.039 one hundred why you're not getting them, which is why you're a memory. 332 00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:45.920 Well, let's put it this way. She was she was willing to come 333 00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:48.319 on and talk about it, so that means something I mean, and she's 334 00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:52.200 saying she wants to do it, So why don't you, Why don't you 335 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.200 call? You have her number? Why don't you call her right now and 336 00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:00.079 figure it out and see and at least give it a chance, Rita, 337 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.160 We can always uh address this if it doesn't work. But I mean, 338 00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:07.880 yeah, you know, you can't fault someone when they say we want to 339 00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:12.720 redo it right the areas that are failing, So let's get them together, 340 00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:17.200 Kachina. Make sure they have the number, and we'll do it. Three 341 00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:27.839 all three seven one three eight two five five. Hey Tom Martinez here, 342 00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:30.960 three all three seven one three talk. Eric's got a question about swapping out 343 00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:37.000 an engine, and is that usually what you do when you talk about nowadays 344 00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.279 a rebuilt engine or re manufactured engine. They don't. They don't usually take 345 00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:42.759 yours, rebuild it and put it back in. Right. Isn't it usually 346 00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.880 a swap? Usually? Typically yes, Yeah, unless you're getting some sort 347 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:49.279 of special build. Would there be any reason you would keep your block and 348 00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:53.319 just rebuilding. Well, some of your classic guys that want to keeping numbers 349 00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:56.480 anyway, Eric, go ahead, what's going on? Eric? Hey? 350 00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:00.720 How you doing? I am new to Colorado and I am having a very 351 00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:03.400 hard time finding a custom shop. I have a lot of these vehicles, 352 00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:07.839 and right now I have a twenty twenty two range Rover and I have a 353 00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.359 brand new complete Healthcat drive train. I know it's expensive. I don't care, 354 00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.000 but I can't find a shop that can. No, wait a minute 355 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.440 for me. You're you're going to put a Hellcat into a range Rover. 356 00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:22.480 That's correct? Wow, Actually that's not such a bad idea because range Rover 357 00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:27.240 sucks and you will actually improve it. The thing with the range Rover is 358 00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:30.720 you drive it until it's out of warranty, then you sell it. Yep. 359 00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.960 Yeah. By the way, range rovers are very good looking vehicles. 360 00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:38.000 I mean I absolutely yeah, and they have nice trim inside. I really 361 00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:42.079 think they're nice. I just wish they they made them better. I mean 362 00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:47.079 they're nice vehicles. Now, hold on, Eric, So this Hellcat drive 363 00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:48.960 train you have, will it fit? I'm just curious. Oh it's a 364 00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:53.480 complete modification. I mean it's electronics to the Yeah. Oh my god, 365 00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:59.000 yeah, I have the computer transmission, brand new engine. Let me explain 366 00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:00.599 something to you though. I'm really happy you called us. Where are you 367 00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:06.119 from California? And I've had a lot of custom stuff down in California. 368 00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:08.079 I just don't want to transport it back and forth. Okay, let me 369 00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:14.119 tell you something. You are prime to be ripped off in this state. 370 00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:21.559 There are so many custom places that take vehicles and promise you the world. 371 00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:26.039 They don't do any work. You get buried and then you're done. I 372 00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.759 mean you are. It is so smart that you called because you really need 373 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:34.319 to check these people out and will help you if we find anyone, because 374 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:38.880 it's difficult to find a good custom shop. And here's the problem. The 375 00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:41.720 guys that really know how to do the work. A lot of them do 376 00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:44.960 know how to do the work, but they don't know how to run a 377 00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:48.880 business, and they just take money and they don't account for I mean, 378 00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:53.000 they really just get into cash flow and they keep deposits and they don't mean 379 00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:56.279 to be crooks, and they are. Then you have the ones that don't 380 00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:00.720 know squat about doing the work, and they are crooks, okay. And 381 00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:04.079 then you have the legit shops, these hot rod shops, and they are 382 00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:08.359 few and far between. So you know, some of the places you find 383 00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:12.160 some good hot rod shops are at car shows, and I call them hot 384 00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:15.599 rod shops. They're custom shops. You guys know any Come on, man, 385 00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:18.839 don't I mean the two that I've known over the years are all retired. 386 00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:22.599 Yeah I know, they're my age and older. Tennessee, Yeah, 387 00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.440 Tennessee will do it place in California. I would almost ship it, to 388 00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:30.079 be honest with you. But you know these guys, you know them right 389 00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:37.759 well. I've had a BMW M three. I had a BMW five V 390 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.960 ten put in one and that company did a great job. Let me ask 391 00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:48.119 you something, seriously, how much will you have invested in this range Rover? 392 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.319 What years the range Rover twenty two twenty two, so one hundred and 393 00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:55.640 five thousand and then probably thirty for the motor. Why would you do this? 394 00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:59.680 I'm just curious he likes it. Man, I know, but come 395 00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:03.200 on, because rain Gever's the best looking issue be on the market, always 396 00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:07.000 has been. Well. Yeah, by the way, the newer ones are 397 00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:10.519 I love what's that new one? That that the Defender or whatever, or 398 00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:15.920 with the sport. There's some really nice looking new No, it's the sleek 399 00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:19.559 body style just underpowered. The warranty sucks, but you like it. You 400 00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:23.920 don't like g wagons? I love g wagons, but had one wife had 401 00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:27.359 one. Don't like it? Yeah, yeah, but anyway, I can't 402 00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:30.960 find a place he'll do it. I mean money usually not the issue. 403 00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.839 I just mean if anyone's listening, and you can continue listening, if anyone's 404 00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:38.079 listening, and you know, truly of a shop, personal experience and all, 405 00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:41.160 I give us a call.

What year is that? 412 00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:14.480 It's brand It was an eighteen. It's brand new and it's all created. 413 00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:17.240 Holy crap, I didn't know that. You can buy him as a 414 00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:22.440 big kit Oh my god. So what else could you put on a hell 415 00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:24.559 Cat? Well, you can put it in anything you want. I mean, 416 00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:28.759 just have to have the money to do. The adaptation has to be 417 00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.480 crazy. Yeah. Well the BMW that put a V ten in a M 418 00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:37.400 three that was like a sixty grand but it runs. Do you ever get 419 00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:39.799 your money out of them? Or do you keep them? Oh no, 420 00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:45.000 I take a beating. Beating. You know. Years ago there was a 421 00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:51.640 guy and this was a similar thing to the range Rover. The Jaguars, 422 00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:53.200 to me are some of the most beautiful cars made, or they used to 423 00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:57.880 be, but they were the lousiest cars for drive trains and electrics. Right, 424 00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:04.000 So this guy was making Jaguars, but Jaguars back in the day and 425 00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:10.880 putting them on Fords and and it made a great car, a great car. 426 00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:15.160 Now. I have something that I found this morning that will blow your 427 00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:17.480 mind. If you're after you hang up, you might want to listen. 428 00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:28.200 This has to do with brand new, remanufactured, brand new parts Mustangs from 429 00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:32.160 the sixties, including the Cobra that did the Shelby's, the Cobras and and 430 00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:37.400 I'm telling you you won't believe them. They're brand new cars coming up. 431 00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:46.359 Need advice, so you don't have come running. Just as fast as we 432 00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:53.720 can, Shooter's gonna help coming, man. This is the Troubleshooter Show. 433 00:33:54.359 --> 00:34:00.799 No Tom Martino, Hey, Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show. 434 00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:05.200 Three zero three seven one three talks three oh three seven one three eight two 435 00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:08.159 five five. It's Car Friday. We're talking about cars, problems, questions, 436 00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:12.079 complaining to anything on your mind. And I'm looking for that. I 437 00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:17.880 had that email earlier on new Mustangs being offered brand new Mustangs. Yes, 438 00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:23.960 they're remanufactured new parts. It's not done by for somehow, this company bought 439 00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:30.079 the rights to all of the Mustangs to remanufacture and tool new parts. So 440 00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:35.559 it's not an old car that they took and restored. It is a brand 441 00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:42.760 new car, but made exactly to the specs of the used of the old 442 00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:46.320 Mustangs. Now I'm looking for this damn thing. I was being hit up 443 00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:52.039 by email to order one and I can't find it. But it was and 444 00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:55.360 I'm still looking, but I can recall it. The models. What do 445 00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:59.920 you think the model started at? This is full a brand new car delivered 446 00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:05.280 and we're talking about outrageous horsepower, but all none of no new electronics or 447 00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:08.559 anything is it's it's a vintage car made new. What do you think forty 448 00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:14.599 five? Really? What do you think, Kevin? I don't know. 449 00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:16.880 I found the name. It's Redvology Cars. Yes, yes, yes, 450 00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:20.800 yes, okay, Now don't tell them how much? Mark? What do 451 00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:23.800 you say? How much? Well? I don't understand what they do, 452 00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:27.760 So tell me what they do again. They're may being building, they're real, 453 00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:31.119 Like if I wanted nineteen sixty five, Yeah, sixty seven is what 454 00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:35.559 they're doing, sixty six sixty sevens And they do brand new cars, brand 455 00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:38.400 new cars, brand new cars, brand new Well okay, but of course 456 00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:42.320 they still have to live up to emissions and all of that. Right, 457 00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.199 Well, of course they do. You know it's it's I don't know, 458 00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:51.719 one hundred grand. They start at two hundred and sixty, holy moly, 459 00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:55.519 and they can't they can't keep up with the orders. I don't think I 460 00:35:55.559 --> 00:36:00.440 have found a uh or someone called in and Shannon talk to him. There's 461 00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:07.719 a place in Fort Lupton called Uptown Speed Shop and they do exactly what that 462 00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:10.639 guy's looking for, and it looks like they do a good job. Oh 463 00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:14.960 the guy that called in about uh, he wants to he wants to lay 464 00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:19.400 a range Rover on top of a hell Cat. Yeah, this guy, 465 00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:23.119 this can you imagine doing up? They'll even help you with concepts, fabrication 466 00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:28.480 in the whole bit, and you have a hell Cat under that. How 467 00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:32.199 many horsepower is that they are? Drive centered? Yeah? Can they beat 468 00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:36.599 Corbette? No? Right? Yeah, come on, Oh yeah, they're 469 00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:42.039 close. Really, they can't beat a model Ash, well, not in 470 00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:44.920 the first you know court, you know, probably two hundred yards, but 471 00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:49.159 they'll catch him in the end. Yeah, yeah, you can't. The 472 00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:54.119 electric cars are just outrageous. They wouldn't even catch a plaid though, not 473 00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:58.960 even in the end. That's a whole different. Yeah. I mean they're 474 00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:02.320 they're built for they're like a three hundred twenty nine thousand for Shelby GT. 475 00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:08.320 A Shelby GT. Three hundred twenty nine thousand. You have to really love 476 00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:14.599 a Mustang. Yeah, and really, as I remember, a lot of 477 00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:17.599 boneheads drove Mustang, so you don't think they would have grown up to have 478 00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:22.559 enough money to buy one of these, if they're appealing to the bone heads 479 00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:23.679 that you used to like them. Well, they were originally called the poor 480 00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:30.119 man's muscle car. Yeah, like a beetle. But they were like these, 481 00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:34.800 No, they weren't dopers. They were more like they were greasers and 482 00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:38.559 they were drinkers. But they weren't dopers. Back the must Actually that was 483 00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:43.400 more not so much the Mustang. Maybe the chargers. You know, the 484 00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:46.440 chargers were the the guys with the T shirt with a cigarette pack in the 485 00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:50.360 upper sleeve. You know, they would roll up, or the old Chevyes 486 00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:52.800 of fifty five fifty six Chevies. Do you remember these people? Yeah? 487 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:55.320 Yeah, I mean do you remember? I mean I grew up in a 488 00:37:55.360 --> 00:38:00.559 town that was filled with them. And but but they all, they all 489 00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:05.880 were attracted to these muscle cars. The road Runner was a big deal, 490 00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:14.239 remember the road Runner. Those are cars the s s Yeah yeah, yeah. 491 00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:17.880 And anyway, that's now sounding like Biden here though, I better get 492 00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:22.880 to Travis. Anyway, Hey is what does Travis want to talk about? 493 00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:27.159 You didn't put us call up there? Just tell me. Yeah, okay, 494 00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:32.039 so explain this problem, doc? Okay, Well, We got a 495 00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:37.199 call from Jesse that his mother had been living in an apartment for ten years 496 00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:42.480 and they lived together and they wait, he she's been there for ten years. 497 00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:45.119 They're both on the lease. He was in a year ago and both 498 00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:47.559 on the lease now. He says, some of the tenants and the manager 499 00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:52.559 have it out for him. Now they're being evicted, right. So I 500 00:38:52.679 --> 00:39:00.679 called up and spoke to Alison Trembley, who is the public relations directed for 501 00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:04.559 Denver Housing Authority. She did some research, she looked it up. She 502 00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:08.119 said there's no eviction and no money due. She doesn't understand what he's talking 503 00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:12.840 about. Really, that's what she told me. They're not being evicted. 504 00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:15.960 According to her, there's a zero balance, they don't know any money, 505 00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:21.000 and as far as she can see, there was never an eviction. So 506 00:39:21.159 --> 00:39:24.199 I've been trying to get in touch with him for the past two days and 507 00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:29.960 he keeps going to voicemail. So I'm not sure what's going on. Okay, 508 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.039 So that was the manager you talked to. Yeah, I spoke to 509 00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:37.239 not the manager. I spoke to the public relations Okay, director for the 510 00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:43.199 Denver Housing Authority. Oh oh oh oh, why that's part of Denver Housing 511 00:39:43.199 --> 00:39:50.400 authorities. Okay, so she was very helpful, took the information and got 512 00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:52.880 back to me with you. You know, we've had a lot of success 513 00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:55.679 lately and you've you've hitten some home runs. They are getting the right people, 514 00:39:57.039 --> 00:39:59.639 so that's good to know. Okay, let's talk to Travis. He 515 00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:02.199 has a I'm in on these custom car shops. Go ahead, what's happening 516 00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:10.119 now much? I just I have a neighbor with the YouTube channel, and 517 00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:14.719 this is what he does all the time, and he does a really good 518 00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:22.360 job. He does. And he just built the Magnum wagon with the hellcap 519 00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:29.079 motor, all little drive. He had disassembled the car one, took all 520 00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:32.920 the wiring out, repainted it, put it all back together. And the 521 00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:37.920 reason I feel like he's safe is and seeing in three days he got sixty 522 00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:42.400 five thousand views on his channel. And here's what I want to know. 523 00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:46.159 Here's what I want to know. Aren't you asking for trouble when you do 524 00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:50.719 stuff like that? I mean, I know people can do meticulous work, 525 00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:53.159 but when you make a Frankenstein car, aren't you asked? Of course? 526 00:40:53.199 --> 00:41:00.320 Sure, yes, yeah, but I mean we're car guys like that. 527 00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:01.440 But it's not the kind of thing you're going to put, you know, 528 00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:05.559 twenty thirty forty thousand miles on. It's just it's a weekend. Well, 529 00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:08.000 the other thing is too this is an individual, so you've got risks as 530 00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:13.320 far as insurance and if anything goes wrong, you know, he's left himself 531 00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:17.920 exposed. Well yeah, because you got to find a special stated value policy 532 00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:23.760 or something. I think he's insured because of this. What's the name of 533 00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:29.519 his shop man, what's the name. Well, he just does all this 534 00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:34.079 at his house for an individual at a time. Wow, it's part of 535 00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:38.519 his YouTube channel. But I mean he's the only stuff that's one hundred and 536 00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:45.480 fifty thousand dollars and up. He doesn't do anything normal. But I know 537 00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:47.119 a guy who put a machine shop in his house. He doesn't live in 538 00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:51.239 Denver, but he put a machine shop in his house and he started out 539 00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:54.679 by doing projects for himself, and he got so good at it that his 540 00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:59.960 reputation went around and people would say to him because he has this big garage, 541 00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:02.280 but it's all at his residence, an oversized lot, and he has 542 00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:06.280 a machine shum. So people will get a hold of him and say, 543 00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:07.800 could you do this for me? Maybe it's kind of like that. So 544 00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:13.840 he doesn't really have a business per se, but he'll take one project at 545 00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:17.599 a time and he go ahead. He does. And I don't think putting 546 00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:22.239 the motor in the vehicle of the hard part. It's not just a motor, 547 00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:30.519 bro You're talking about the entire drive training. That's what I was going 548 00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:34.719 to say. He seems to be the electrical engineer for Dodge wiring, because 549 00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:38.960 that's where the problem for Dodge people come in is the wiring is so different 550 00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:45.559 than like a Chevy. Not really, not really. I mean everything's all 551 00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:49.960 of them are a little different, but they're not like out of the universe 552 00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:54.039 different. Everybody is doing a Chevy. A lot of people aren't doing these 553 00:42:54.079 --> 00:42:59.920 Dodges because of the dependability that they, you know, the American dependability. 554 00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:06.159 Really think about a g Wagon with a Chevy under it like a you know. 555 00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:08.800 I mean, what I'm saying is it's not that Mercedes isn't deependable, 556 00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:13.000 it's just too costly. My God in Heaven, the parts and all of 557 00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:16.440 that. And performance. No, the performance was pretty good on at you 558 00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:21.519 Wagon, I would say. But in any case, thanks for that conversation, 559 00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:25.320 Travis. It is car day today, right, so those Mustangs, 560 00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:29.800 though, you got to be crazy to pay that for that. Now it's 561 00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:34.159 not a used car, though, now it's way better than a restored car 562 00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:37.920 when you REMA. Yeah, but that could be said about anybody's hobby and 563 00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:40.360 stuff. So I mean, if that's what people were really the honey, 564 00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:44.960 come on. You know. When I moved to Colorado, I was driving 565 00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:47.920 into I seventy and we had the dogs and everything in the car, and 566 00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:52.559 I remember seeing the mountains and I look up at I seventy and I said, 567 00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:54.880 I'm in Colorado. And then I looked to the right and there's this 568 00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:58.800 place on I seventy. Off of I seventy, you could see the sign, 569 00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:01.960 and I said, I'm now in heaven. It was called Univer and 570 00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:07.880 Univer they're still there. They've been there for years. They did something really 571 00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:10.440 weird. They went out like this company did, and they bought the rights 572 00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:20.159 to seven aircraft from the nineteen thirties on. So these aircrafts are no longer 573 00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:22.719 being built. And when they bought the rights, they bought the drawings, 574 00:44:23.119 --> 00:44:32.719 the stamps, the machining, everything for originally manufactured parts. So I always 575 00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:38.159 loved these things called air coups. Er Coupe and I had a few and 576 00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:43.079 I said, now that I know, that's right there in my backyard because 577 00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:45.119 I used to order from them all over, I went and got to know 578 00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:50.639 them, and I went out and bought an air coop, but only for 579 00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:54.360 one thing. The data plate that's all I wanted. And the mpinage this 580 00:44:54.440 --> 00:45:00.239 is the small little part around the seats. That's it. I literally was 581 00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:07.639 insane. I bought every single part brand new from univer and then had a 582 00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:13.559 brand new engine built brand Now Universe doesn't do the engines, they do parts. 583 00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:15.840 But anyway, I had new wings. I have new everything. It's 584 00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:20.760 new, new landing, here, new every it's brand new. But I 585 00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:24.360 have a nineteen forty six data plan and I put that all together and I 586 00:45:24.440 --> 00:45:29.800 did that about twenty five twenty three. I went to Oshkosh with it. 587 00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:34.480 That's a data plane, meaning you know, the you have to be certified. 588 00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:36.920 You can't just build a plane. If I want to build a plane, 589 00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:39.679 it won't be certified. It'd be experimental. But I didn't want an 590 00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:45.079 experimental plane. I wanted a real plane, a certified aircraft, right, 591 00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:49.920 and so I bought So you have to build around something gotcha. You can't 592 00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:54.000 like if you're building a if you take a historic home and you can only 593 00:45:54.039 --> 00:45:58.880 tear it down to a certain extent and it's no longer. Okay. So 594 00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:02.400 this is a brand new nineteen forty six airpoil. It was brand new twenty 595 00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:06.360 years ago. Then I took it and it was cool and I won prizes. 596 00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:12.039 But I am so stupid and buried in that thing. Never ever in 597 00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:15.480 a million years would I get the money out. Ever would I get the 598 00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:16.480 money out of it. I don't know why I did it. I just 599 00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:20.320 loved it so much. It was a hobby for me. It took me 600 00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:23.000 three years and that was it. But but that's why you did it. 601 00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:27.760 You love building a plane, that's right, and so but so that's what 602 00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:30.199 these guys are doing with mustangs. So, like Mark said, I guess 603 00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:32.480 it's all what you're into. I mean, like, who, well, 604 00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:36.679 and I'll give you another one you were into. And I mean, I 605 00:46:36.760 --> 00:46:39.239 know you love animals, but my god, horses, yeah, and holy 606 00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:45.039 moly are they expensive. The air and people have horses and you know they 607 00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:47.400 ride them occasionally, but my goodness, now you can get a horse for 608 00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:51.039 free, and you still can't afford it. No. But see, that's 609 00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:52.119 the worst thing to do. If you're going to get a horse, get 610 00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:55.280 a good one, because you're going to spend the same exact amount on a 611 00:46:55.320 --> 00:46:59.960 good one or a broken down one, and the good one will last long 612 00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:02.199 or if you want to look at it from a pure standpoint like that. 613 00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:07.760 But the problem with horses, and somebody once told me this, don't buy 614 00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:19.760 anything that eats when you sleep. Oh I at kehou dot com. Hey 615 00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:24.239 Tom Martin out here at three three seven one three talk three out three seven 616 00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:30.440 one three eight two five five. Compass Insurance Group. We'll do your insurance 617 00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:32.320 check up for the asking. All you have to do is call them at 618 00:47:32.320 --> 00:47:36.039 three oh three nine ninety six nine thousand and make sure you're not paying too 619 00:47:36.079 --> 00:47:38.519 much for insurance and that you're not under insured. That's the worst thing in 620 00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:43.519 the world. That's three oh three nine ninety six nine thousand. Now, 621 00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:47.519 today's car Day. We've been talking about cars, talking about vintage stuff and 622 00:47:49.159 --> 00:47:53.840 building stuff and anyway. It's it's really uh, the hot rod world is 623 00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:58.760 really insane. You know. We were talking about expensive hobbies and stuff. 624 00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:02.719 Now I've heard of people with boats that I never knew they could spend that 625 00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:06.440 much. I mean, I'm talking about they call them. Why do they 626 00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:08.519 call them cigarette boats? Why do they call them? That? Shape? 627 00:48:08.719 --> 00:48:14.199 The shape, just the general shape. But those boats I never realized can 628 00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:16.519 be near a million dollars. Did you know that super fast? Yeah? 629 00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:22.880 Those racing Oh my god. And then they have, you know, well 630 00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:25.119 the four world drive industry in this city. You know, the guys are 631 00:48:25.159 --> 00:48:30.480 constantly modifying Jeep, brand new Jeeps. You know, they'll take a seventy 632 00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:34.000 thousand miles Wrangler and take it over to the shopman drive. Now you know. 633 00:48:34.320 --> 00:48:36.599 You know I told you I liked I like the look of a g 634 00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:39.039 Wagon. I like the look of a Jeep. I just don't like the 635 00:48:39.159 --> 00:48:44.079 Jeep. I like the look of a Jeep. And I've always wondered about 636 00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:46.599 customizing one of those. I mean, that could be a pretty cool vehicle. 637 00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:51.000 Did they ride pretty well now, the newer ones? Or are they 638 00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:52.480 they're still a little rough? No, they're not bad. They're not bad. 639 00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:55.880 Better than the older ones. Yeah, now you know, And speaking 640 00:48:55.960 --> 00:49:00.760 about customizing, I always had a d and then they stopped making them. 641 00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:06.199 But I wanted Rollie to get me one of those Avalanches one of the newer, 642 00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:08.159 but they stopped making them, and so I don't want an older one. 643 00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:15.000 But Avalanches, to me, were almost the perfect vehicle. Think about 644 00:49:15.039 --> 00:49:19.679 it has a gentleman pickup, it has a nice cover, it has a 645 00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:22.760 I'd like to put a back on it, a bit like it just seems 646 00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:28.840 like such a cool vehicle I wish. I don't know why they stopped. 647 00:49:28.880 --> 00:49:32.079 I can't imagine why they stopped making them. It to me, it always 648 00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:37.559 amazes me that certain vehicles that I believe are so popular they stop making. 649 00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:44.559 Now what about Mark, Did you ever look at the electric Mustang? Somebody 650 00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:45.920 wrote to me about that. I don't like any of those, man, 651 00:49:46.039 --> 00:49:50.400 I'm a Tesla guy. Yeah. Well, and you're a Tesla guy with 652 00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:53.280 good reason, because they're the proven technology that came out first and did most 653 00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:58.679 research and most everyone hires testing. You're rid of the Avalanche, by the 654 00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:04.480 way, is following a two point six sales decline in twenty eleven. Really, 655 00:50:04.519 --> 00:50:07.840 the Avalanche was stopped, simple as that. So it was the sales 656 00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:13.400 decline. I thought they were so popular, that's the thing. Were they 657 00:50:13.440 --> 00:50:16.679 good cars? Guys? It was basically a Chevy truck. Oh, that's 658 00:50:16.719 --> 00:50:21.840 all over. Yeah, it was built on the suburban frame. I didn't 659 00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:25.400 know that on the suburban frame. That's solid. Yeah, Tahoe Suburban. 660 00:50:27.360 --> 00:50:30.519 And years ago, one of the things in Colorado one of the most popular 661 00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:34.239 vehicles. It wasn't the one you see now, but it was called a 662 00:50:34.360 --> 00:50:38.039 grand wagon. Ear oh jeep. We have them now. They're gorgeous. 663 00:50:38.199 --> 00:50:40.880 Yeah, but the ones now, yeah they are. They're kind of cool 664 00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:44.960 right now. And you're right because they are doing a little bit of a 665 00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:47.639 throwback. They went through this normal suv look for a while and now they're 666 00:50:47.639 --> 00:50:52.280 getting more squared like they used to be. But remember the older ones had 667 00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:57.239 the fake wood sides and stuff. And then and then there were station wagons 668 00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:00.159 that had those wood sides as well. Yeah. Christ what was that one 669 00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:04.880 Toyota made. Guys? Had everybody liked the land cruiser? Yeah, oh 670 00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:07.079 my god, the original hold on. Now there's a number of them, 671 00:51:07.159 --> 00:51:12.880 the original jeep type they don't make. No, that was the most popular 672 00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:15.440 land cruiser. It looked like a Safari vehicle, like a g wagon or 673 00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:22.360 like a g And then there's another one called the FJ Cruiser, which is 674 00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:28.320 popular. But I heard they stopped making that now, why that was the 675 00:51:28.360 --> 00:51:31.760 one I was talking about. That's beautiful. The FJ is beautiful. I 676 00:51:31.840 --> 00:51:36.559 love that vehicle and I would buy one of those. I think if they 677 00:51:36.880 --> 00:51:38.199 if they were new, they don't buy it. They don't make him anymore, 678 00:51:38.199 --> 00:51:43.840 I don't think. But the new Toyota land Cruisers are just SUVs, 679 00:51:44.079 --> 00:51:46.079 you know, I mean, they're Toyota. They're probably good quality, but 680 00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:50.559 well, it's a different clientele. People Back in the day they wanted the 681 00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:55.760 rugged four wheel drive type vehicle. Now they want smooth. Yeah, that's 682 00:51:55.840 --> 00:52:01.960 right. And so you know when you were talking about jeep modifications, yea, 683 00:52:02.159 --> 00:52:07.400 when we usually get up to Moab like once a year. Holy crap, 684 00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:13.159 man, I've seen quarter of a million dollar ones. What quarter jeeps? 685 00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:17.000 Are you kidding me? I've seen one where they extend them. They 686 00:52:17.039 --> 00:52:22.360 start basically with I don't even probably the Jeep logo and then build something that 687 00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:27.119 holds like twelve people. I know, I know, I know. Okay, 688 00:52:27.159 --> 00:52:31.239 So listen to this. Speaking of luxury items or things that have a 689 00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:40.519 brand name that's associated with luxury, they did a survey here of luxury items 690 00:52:42.679 --> 00:52:45.159 of all US adults. Now that doesn't mean they ask what I mean, 691 00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:50.039 is all demos Okay, then they broke them down, but all demos of 692 00:52:50.159 --> 00:53:00.760 adult Americans believe that there are regular options. Just seventy percent believe there are 693 00:53:00.840 --> 00:53:06.599 regular options every bit as good as the luxury or or top brands. Thirty 694 00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:10.280 percent believe you need the top brand. I'm in one of those categories who 695 00:53:10.320 --> 00:53:15.719 believe you don't need the popular brands. You can find if you shout. 696 00:53:15.800 --> 00:53:19.679 Now, that doesn't mean all everything is created equally, but it does mean 697 00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:27.840 I believe a lot of these so called up upscale brand names and luxury items 698 00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:34.559 have rested on their laurels. They have become a thing because if you look, 699 00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:38.719 for example, a certain purses or cut logs and stuff that if you 700 00:53:38.760 --> 00:53:44.719 look at the quality, the quality is no better than a lot of the 701 00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:49.239 knockoffs. I mean, truly, they're not, and there's no way to 702 00:53:49.519 --> 00:53:52.639 justify it any longer except for the intellectual property. I think what's happened to 703 00:53:52.719 --> 00:53:59.000 them is that the quality brands have always maintained equality, and the outside brands 704 00:53:59.039 --> 00:54:00.719 have caught up to that. That's what it is, That's exactly what it 705 00:54:00.920 --> 00:54:07.079 is. So then the extra quality or the luxury items don't seem so luxury 706 00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:10.159 anymore. I would argue that. I'd say it's distribution. There was a 707 00:54:10.199 --> 00:54:15.320 point not long ago where if you wanted a pair of Levi's you'd have to 708 00:54:15.320 --> 00:54:19.320 go to like Macy's or somewhere. Now you can buy Levi's at Walmart, 709 00:54:19.400 --> 00:54:22.480 Costco, Sam's Club, online, Amazon, you can buy them everywhere. 710 00:54:22.760 --> 00:54:30.800 So I think really distribution is what's changed. Well, yeah, but the 711 00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:34.440 but the ball brands have gotten better too. It's about two different things, 712 00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:36.920 Mark, Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, we're not because 713 00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:40.880 Levi's probably makes Costco brand jeans now, but they have the Levi's label on 714 00:54:40.920 --> 00:54:45.400 them, right, or they have Kirkland. No, they have Kirkland on 715 00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:49.239 them. That's exactly what I'm saying. There are a lot of those kinds 716 00:54:49.239 --> 00:54:52.119 of things. That's a whole different ballgame. You're right, there are a 717 00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:55.119 lot of people who who will make their brand name and then out the back 718 00:54:55.159 --> 00:55:00.360 door do a label for someone, or they'll white label so people can put 719 00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:06.159 their own label on it. So in any case, as far as luxury 720 00:55:06.199 --> 00:55:09.199 items, thirty percent of hold on Tom. I mean, you bet back 721 00:55:09.239 --> 00:55:13.320 in the day you were somewhat And I'm saying way back. You were into 722 00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:15.480 some luxury items that most of us, you know, weren't. And I 723 00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:19.559 mean when you were on the news, you had to wear a nice suit. 724 00:55:19.639 --> 00:55:22.920 Sometimes fine, some of these high high price attorneys and stuff. I 725 00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:27.320 don't want my attorneys showing up to court and to see your suit. I'm 726 00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:30.199 going to tell you the God's honest truth. I mean, this is just 727 00:55:30.280 --> 00:55:34.199 the truth. When I was in my load up phase and I was making 728 00:55:34.239 --> 00:55:39.519 money in my load up phase, I was a slave to having crap because 729 00:55:39.559 --> 00:55:45.760 I thought that it meant success. I'm just being real serious. I hate 730 00:55:45.800 --> 00:55:49.760 watches. I don't even have one now. But when I bought one back 731 00:55:49.800 --> 00:55:52.000 in the what did I have to buy? Well, we a Rolex that's 732 00:55:52.119 --> 00:55:57.920 exactly right, and I couldn't care less about it. I really personally was 733 00:55:57.960 --> 00:56:00.840 a phony because I don't care about it. But I bought it. Now 734 00:56:00.880 --> 00:56:05.159 that's the worst kind of right, that's the worst kind of buying because it's 735 00:56:05.159 --> 00:56:08.559 a total waste. I didn't care about it. And the only thing I 736 00:56:08.599 --> 00:56:15.119 cared about, I truly cared about, was if a vehicle lasted. But 737 00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:19.599 I also wanted it to say something. And then I'm just saying and this 738 00:56:19.760 --> 00:56:21.960 is why, Because when I was growing up, No, but you love 739 00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:25.760 you love like your aircraft and your busy. Yeah, but my aircraft. 740 00:56:25.880 --> 00:56:29.960 Aircraft had nothing to do with status, zero to do with it. It 741 00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:32.480 has to do with fun and a passion and working on them and fun. 742 00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:38.280 So but a lot of the stuff I bought was for the name because I 743 00:56:38.320 --> 00:56:40.440 when I was grown up poor, I think I'm going to have one of 744 00:56:40.440 --> 00:56:43.880 those some days. And so even though I could buy a wash, it 745 00:56:43.920 --> 00:56:46.559 would keep time and be beautiful. I wanted to roly and and and I 746 00:56:46.639 --> 00:56:52.079 called it the load up phase. But here's what's really cool is eventually I 747 00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:54.559 didn't give a damn and then you do the shedding phase, right, you 748 00:56:54.599 --> 00:57:00.199 can't shed fast enough? And and I think the thing about luxury brands, 749 00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:05.559 Yeah, there were times when it meant something, But most of the time, 750 00:57:05.679 --> 00:57:07.679 I swear to God, if people are honest, they do it to 751 00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:19.239 impress others. Hi, Tom Martinez here three all three seven one three talk 752 00:57:19.920 --> 00:57:25.159 three all three seven one three eight two five five. Let's continue with the 753 00:57:25.199 --> 00:57:29.920 madness. Gene, what's going on with you? Gene? Welcome, what's 754 00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:35.519 happening? Well, it's been three months that our drier has not been repaired. 755 00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:39.800 Wait a minute, is it under warranty? Yes, sir, it 756 00:57:39.960 --> 00:57:45.920 was. Well why wasn't it repaired? Why is it taking three months? 757 00:57:45.960 --> 00:57:53.159 Well, we don't know, Tom, I have pages and page to start. 758 00:57:52.960 --> 00:57:59.039 About May the third, we called series. My husband's pulling it up 759 00:57:59.159 --> 00:58:02.159 in the afternoon. We had no phone calls, no text of anything. 760 00:58:02.519 --> 00:58:06.840 My husband, he's the guy driving off in his truck. We live in 761 00:58:06.840 --> 00:58:10.039 a residential neighborhood. So this is not like a police you know, high 762 00:58:10.039 --> 00:58:15.440 speed. Hold on a second, now, are I need to ask a 763 00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:20.239 couple of questions. Are you saying that it was never even looked at for 764 00:58:20.320 --> 00:58:22.519 three months, or they looked at it and they're waiting for parts or what 765 00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:28.559 sir. No, they came out and looked at it. Yes, they 766 00:58:28.719 --> 00:58:32.199 ordered, and then they said they ordered parts. They wouldn't come out until 767 00:58:32.239 --> 00:58:37.119 all the parts were here. We told them the parts were here. They 768 00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:42.679 still and they say they're going to show up, but they don't. And 769 00:58:42.679 --> 00:58:44.760 they say, oh, well we're gonna take you. So you do have 770 00:58:44.840 --> 00:58:47.519 the parts right now? Yes, sir, we've had the parts for over 771 00:58:47.559 --> 00:58:55.639 a month. Now. That's ridiculous, that's totally Yeah, honestly, I 772 00:58:55.639 --> 00:59:00.400 mean I have pages and pages. I am my calendar. I'm I'm a 773 00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:05.239 retired nurse. Okay, and I know our take progress, no date them 774 00:59:05.320 --> 00:59:08.480 times. Okay, I know it's important. So this is what I do. 775 00:59:08.880 --> 00:59:15.119 Okay. My end and I are in our seventies. I am retired, 776 00:59:15.119 --> 00:59:17.599 but he still works. Yeah, he had missed four at least four 777 00:59:17.679 --> 00:59:22.840 days staying home because I am slightly handicapped. I can't go running up and 778 00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:25.679 down the stairs. I have a hip and joint problem. Okay, So 779 00:59:27.239 --> 00:59:30.440 he comes home because the dryer in the washing the dryer in the basement. 780 00:59:30.559 --> 00:59:38.599 He goes down, all right, so sorry, Yeah, on five seven, 781 00:59:38.639 --> 00:59:42.440 they were supposed to come in. They didn't show up. No call 782 00:59:42.639 --> 00:59:45.599 or text. We got people's names, Russell then, I Zie feel then 783 00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:49.760 or Nesto is a text. Why don't we just you know, they should 784 00:59:49.840 --> 00:59:52.840 just get you a new one if they're not going to fix it. Well, 785 00:59:52.880 --> 00:59:55.840 they put part they put some of the parts in. But the one 786 00:59:57.039 --> 01:00:00.719 text said I'll come back and he gave me work cell phone number. However, 787 01:00:00.800 --> 01:00:07.000 the stuff that still needs to be done, it needs to be finished. 788 01:00:07.079 --> 01:00:13.920 There's a timer and a thermometer will switch dally that need to be put 789 01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:16.960 back in and then it should work because they put in a new motor, 790 01:00:17.159 --> 01:00:24.360 a new fan, and the door handle needed to be replaced. But that's 791 01:00:24.440 --> 01:00:30.840 you know, that's a very that's not a big item. How old is 792 01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:36.719 this machine? Yeah? This this machine is maybe two years old. That's 793 01:00:36.840 --> 01:00:44.320 ridiculous. That's ridiculous. Okay, So anyway, let's see five eight okay. 794 01:00:44.639 --> 01:00:47.719 Rescheduled through five fourteen one to five pm, and he arrived at three 795 01:00:47.840 --> 01:00:52.880 twenty. He departed at three forty three. He said the motor was shot, 796 01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:55.840 needs to re order parts. We'll be back next week to repair it. 797 01:00:57.559 --> 01:00:59.719 We talked to this guy. He says, no, you better not 798 01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:02.840 do the service agreement. The next point.

Well, no, Sears 804 01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:28.239 is it's Sears. To trust me. They're the dinosaur too. They're a 805 01:01:28.280 --> 01:01:34.559 dinosaur. They're they're they're gone.

Most of 824 01:03:07.880 --> 01:03:12.199 the time they're special order, but yes, so they're not just on the 825 01:03:12.239 --> 01:03:15.679 showroom or they're not on the lot. Yeah, most of the time you 826 01:03:15.679 --> 01:03:19.000 have to special order those. But you know it's more popular inside, you 827 01:03:19.039 --> 01:03:22.480 know, some of the sporty vehicles like that. Here's my opinion that you 828 01:03:22.519 --> 01:03:29.000 can't shift better than these new automatics. Do you think you can? I 829 01:03:29.000 --> 01:03:32.000 mean, seriously, most people say they want manual shifts, think they can 830 01:03:32.039 --> 01:03:37.639 get more power. Do you think that's even possible anymore? And I mean 831 01:03:37.760 --> 01:03:42.480 I've tried a few, and I mean, how do you beat it? 832 01:03:43.960 --> 01:03:45.519 No, I mean I don't think you can. I think you're right. 833 01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:49.440 Some of the durability factors may be a part of it. You know, 834 01:03:49.559 --> 01:03:52.039 you can definitely put more power through a stick shift than you can do an 835 01:03:52.039 --> 01:03:55.559 automatic because you have fewer moving parts that it's gear to gear. You don't 836 01:03:55.559 --> 01:03:59.960 have the clutches, you don't have the have a lot of the wear items 837 01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:01.360 if they're going to break down when you push power. But you do have 838 01:04:01.400 --> 01:04:05.400 a clutch You have clutch packs, yes, not internal clutches yet. Oh 839 01:04:05.440 --> 01:04:11.599 okay, okay, okay, okay. So did they last longer if taken 840 01:04:11.639 --> 01:04:18.960 care of it? Definitely? All right? Now another one here about hold 841 01:04:18.960 --> 01:04:23.039 on, let me see where the heck was that? Okay? Do you 842 01:04:23.199 --> 01:04:31.599 find that there is anything anyone can do to extend the life of their paint? 843 01:04:32.519 --> 01:04:36.199 I don't know why anyone would ask this. I have not seen a 844 01:04:36.239 --> 01:04:42.239 bad car or ship paint or bubble or any bad paint ever in Colorado. 845 01:04:42.280 --> 01:04:45.280 Is this out of state? Maybe? Because, I mean, do we 846 01:04:45.360 --> 01:04:48.599 even have paint problems at all anymore? I mean, keep it back east 847 01:04:48.599 --> 01:04:51.760 now, I mean, with the way finishes are made, have you seen 848 01:04:51.800 --> 01:04:56.159 any rusted cars lately? No? The finish is so much better than us 849 01:04:56.199 --> 01:04:59.679 twenty years. Aspel is no longer. Rest about. The only thing you 850 01:04:59.679 --> 01:05:01.519 can do was protected from the sun. That's going to be the hardest abuse 851 01:05:01.599 --> 01:05:04.280 to it. So well, Washington, wax it. I mean there's magic. 852 01:05:04.360 --> 01:05:06.559 Yeah, keep it in the garage, put a cover on it. 853 01:05:06.719 --> 01:05:10.840 Yeah, well, some covers, God damn it. You gotta be careful. 854 01:05:10.960 --> 01:05:18.760 Yeah. And uh, somebody asked about something to boost power for injectors. 855 01:05:18.800 --> 01:05:23.880 You guys mentioned products all the time. They they forget the is it 856 01:05:23.960 --> 01:05:30.639 are they talking about? PPG B? What is it called g P BG? 857 01:05:30.880 --> 01:05:33.679 Oh BG? Okay, you're right BG that I was thinking about paint 858 01:05:33.719 --> 01:05:39.880 by the way pp Okay. So now are they really what they're cracked up 859 01:05:39.880 --> 01:05:42.639 to be? Do they? And why are they so good? Because they 860 01:05:42.679 --> 01:05:45.960 make so much different stuff? Well, the biggest thing is their additive packages 861 01:05:46.000 --> 01:05:51.440 they put together are so superior, you know, thegent But everything that you 862 01:05:51.480 --> 01:05:59.679 guys use people can buy. Yes, you can consume local AutoZone AutoZone yep, 863 01:06:00.119 --> 01:06:03.559 because they said they thought there were some of them possibly only available to 864 01:06:04.079 --> 01:06:08.880 shops. Is that possible? I never get which one that used to be 865 01:06:08.320 --> 01:06:13.679 there years ago? Yeah? Okay, So now basically everyone can get anything, 866 01:06:13.719 --> 01:06:15.079 right, yes, yeah, google it? You know you can get 867 01:06:15.079 --> 01:06:21.000 on Amazon. Okay? And uh, I noticed a trend online. I 868 01:06:21.079 --> 01:06:24.960 hesitate to bring it up. In fact, maybe I'll bring it up next 869 01:06:24.960 --> 01:06:33.039 hour on this Some of these European pharmacies are doing right now that I think 870 01:06:33.079 --> 01:06:40.199 you're going to find fascinating.

Triple filter reverse osmosis three oh three eighty six two five five five 881 01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:44.119 four. Welcome. Let's talk to Randy as a transmission question. We have 882 01:07:44.119 --> 01:07:46.320 our experts here. We have Kevin Culkin from Sheridan Auto Tech, and we 883 01:07:46.360 --> 01:07:53.639 have Jeff Fick from Chimera Transmission, and we have Randy on the line talking 884 01:07:53.639 --> 01:07:58.519 about transmissions for a twenty twelve Honda accord. What's going on, man, 885 01:07:58.920 --> 01:08:02.199 Randy? Yeah, I've got twenty twelve hundred cord that I used for Uber 886 01:08:02.840 --> 01:08:08.199 got about two hundred and fifty thousand miles long, and I go into a 887 01:08:08.280 --> 01:08:13.840 shop to uh get the transmission to a change, and they said they wouldn't 888 01:08:13.840 --> 01:08:19.359 do it because of the miles on the vehicle. When was the last time 889 01:08:19.399 --> 01:08:25.680 you did the transmission? Been a thirty thousand miles ago? What? And 890 01:08:25.960 --> 01:08:30.079 was it flushed then? No, it's never actually been. Yeah, we 891 01:08:30.159 --> 01:08:32.359 actually I was flushed at that time. But all I wanted to do is 892 01:08:32.439 --> 01:08:35.720 haven't dropped the old s food out? Put new to it in and they 893 01:08:35.800 --> 01:08:40.000 refused it. Okay, So why is that? Are they afraid? Yeah, 894 01:08:40.039 --> 01:08:42.600 they're at that kind of millers. They're afraid that if anything goes wrong 895 01:08:42.640 --> 01:08:45.960 and they're going to come back and say it was working fine until you touched 896 01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:48.760 it. Why would it not work fine? What could they do? They 897 01:08:48.800 --> 01:08:51.680 really couldn't. They really couldn't. And on the Hondas, it's pretty much 898 01:08:51.680 --> 01:08:55.079 a drain and fill. When you do a service, you can't service the 899 01:08:55.079 --> 01:08:59.039 filter itself. It's actually internal to the case, so you're literally draining and 900 01:08:59.039 --> 01:09:01.479 filling it. So why they couldn't be blamed for anything? I mean, 901 01:09:01.520 --> 01:09:03.840 if they see anything, they can point it out to him. You know, 902 01:09:04.159 --> 01:09:08.520 or if they do notice a burnoorder or whatever, then then refuse it. 903 01:09:08.640 --> 01:09:10.600 Can you put the old fluid back in? Say hey, you're coming 904 01:09:10.640 --> 01:09:12.920 down the pike. We don't want to be a part of this. But 905 01:09:12.960 --> 01:09:15.960 as a general rule, once you get you know, higher in mileage, 906 01:09:16.239 --> 01:09:23.039 most general repair and particularly fast looped places will not touch it. Would Joe? 907 01:09:23.279 --> 01:09:26.920 We do them all the time. Where are you locating, Randy, 908 01:09:27.840 --> 01:09:31.640 I'm in north Yeah, well so well you would do Kevin? Would we 909 01:09:31.680 --> 01:09:34.399 do it? Sure all the time. Yeah, you're closer. Vic. 910 01:09:34.600 --> 01:09:36.439 We're just straight up with him. We tell them, you know, we 911 01:09:36.479 --> 01:09:40.920 don't. We can't be responsible for anything that happens to it. You know, 912 01:09:41.000 --> 01:09:44.800 with the fluid, because it's higher detergent, you can knock off different 913 01:09:44.840 --> 01:09:48.079 things. That's what happens for all particle purposes. You've already extended the left 914 01:09:48.079 --> 01:09:53.079 of that transmission blound what normal would be. But if he's doing it every 915 01:09:53.079 --> 01:09:55.840 thirty there shouldn't be an issue. There shouldn't be a problem. Man, 916 01:09:55.920 --> 01:10:00.319 you got two hundred and fifty thousand miles. I'm going to get another hundred? 917 01:10:01.600 --> 01:10:04.760 Cool? Can he do that? Absolutely? He takes gi us how 918 01:10:04.760 --> 01:10:09.560 to take care of it. Have you had it from new Now? I 919 01:10:09.560 --> 01:10:14.000 bought it with one hundred and ten on it man, a little bit of 920 01:10:14.039 --> 01:10:16.279 luck and some you know, some maintenance. You bought it with one hundred 921 01:10:16.279 --> 01:10:20.079 and ten thousand miles. Yeah, I wouldn't. I didn't want to buy 922 01:10:20.119 --> 01:10:24.880 a new car to burn up with uber miles. So I thought to use 923 01:10:24.960 --> 01:10:27.960 one of a good deal. I've been taking care of it. I wanted 924 01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:30.680 to Honda or Toyota. I got to Honda because it was a good deal. 925 01:10:30.960 --> 01:10:35.600 And there's other drivers I know they have this car that over three hundred 926 01:10:35.600 --> 01:10:41.359 six two thousand want that is incredible? Is that just because of that good 927 01:10:41.680 --> 01:10:44.399 well yeah, that's they pay extra for the big h on the on the 928 01:10:44.439 --> 01:10:48.319 grill the Honda they put it or it has quality, yes, and longevity 929 01:10:48.880 --> 01:10:54.079 is it? Does Toyota have the same longevity? Very very similar? Kia 930 01:10:54.840 --> 01:10:59.279 no no, no warrant. Kid is a warranty car. So I mean 931 01:10:59.319 --> 01:11:02.920 you get the hundred under twenty and then you got a bail. Wow. 932 01:11:03.079 --> 01:11:06.680 But the thing about it is is that for a car to go that much, 933 01:11:06.720 --> 01:11:12.760 you've beat the system over and over and over again. So okay, 934 01:11:12.840 --> 01:11:18.319 So as far as the UH, as far as flushing as opposed to changing. 935 01:11:18.680 --> 01:11:21.439 What's the difference. What is a drain and fill? What is a 936 01:11:21.479 --> 01:11:25.279 flush? When do you need a flush? Or is a flush just something 937 01:11:25.479 --> 01:11:29.000 that if you like this gentleman, do what every thirty thousand miles, He'll 938 01:11:29.000 --> 01:11:31.760 never need a flush, all right, He's just drain and fill. You 939 01:11:31.800 --> 01:11:35.159 know other vehicles where we actually do a conventional service where we're dropping a pan, 940 01:11:35.319 --> 01:11:40.479 changing a filter a flush, they're actually interrupting the cooler lines and basically 941 01:11:40.520 --> 01:11:43.880 doing dialysis to the system, just changing out the fluid. Now, the 942 01:11:43.920 --> 01:11:46.640 biggest problem I see with that is unless they drop the pan, all that 943 01:11:46.680 --> 01:11:49.319 fluid has to go through the filter before it gets to that machine. So 944 01:11:49.560 --> 01:11:53.680 all that contaminant that they're saying that they're getting out of there is not getting 945 01:11:53.720 --> 01:11:57.960 out of there. It's trapped inside that system. So if you don't have 946 01:11:58.039 --> 01:12:01.960 a removable filter, you shouldn't flu USh. If you have to get to 947 01:12:02.000 --> 01:12:04.359 a point where your fluid is in such bad condition that you need to do 948 01:12:04.399 --> 01:12:08.479 a flush, you haven't been doing your maintenance. So if you do it, 949 01:12:09.000 --> 01:12:13.359 so do regular matular amount of This is the most cost effective means you 950 01:12:13.359 --> 01:12:15.479 can use. Keeping that car on the road is no guarantee, but this 951 01:12:15.520 --> 01:12:21.319 is the most cost effective way you can try to maximize the longevity. Can 952 01:12:21.399 --> 01:12:27.880 a transmission usually last as long as an engine or longer. It can, 953 01:12:28.039 --> 01:12:30.079 but it is actually a weaker link to the vehicles. That's what I meant. 954 01:12:30.159 --> 01:12:35.560 So if all things are equal, you usually have to address the transmission 955 01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:39.680 before the engine. Correct you'll have to address you know, engine components. 956 01:12:40.600 --> 01:12:43.840 But typically you know, having to do something like an engine or a transmission 957 01:12:43.880 --> 01:12:47.199 overhaul is much much more common than having to do the old diesel trucks and 958 01:12:47.239 --> 01:12:50.520 stuff. You go through two or three trainees for every motor. Michael, 959 01:12:50.560 --> 01:12:56.640 what's going on with you? Uh? Yeah, this is I got twenty 960 01:12:56.800 --> 01:13:01.720 thirteen NIO and it runs. You look, oh, two hundred and two 961 01:13:01.800 --> 01:13:06.560 hundred and seven hundred, two hundred and seven hundred and thirteen miles two hundred 962 01:13:06.760 --> 01:13:13.640 thousand, two hundred seventy seven hundred right, yeah, two hundred thousand. 963 01:13:14.079 --> 01:13:17.359 Wow, I just flipted. I keep it up. It's beautiful. I 964 01:13:17.399 --> 01:13:20.439 mean I used it for our door dash. I worked for door dash, 965 01:13:20.439 --> 01:13:24.399 so I put have I changed by Oh even though I don't need to, 966 01:13:25.199 --> 01:13:28.359 I change it and I keep all night thrill it's up in there. How 967 01:13:28.399 --> 01:13:31.640 often how often do you do your oil? I've been doing it for the 968 01:13:31.720 --> 01:13:38.319 last five years. And how long have you? No, no, no, 969 01:13:38.439 --> 01:13:43.119 What I mean is how often do you do it? Jeeves? And 970 01:13:44.000 --> 01:13:46.680 every time I have no extra money? Even though I got to oil said, 971 01:13:46.680 --> 01:13:49.239 they said, you don't even need that. Oun't just do it anyway? 972 01:13:49.319 --> 01:13:54.600 Mike? How long have you had the car? Wow? Oh, 973 01:13:54.840 --> 01:13:57.279 I think I got one year old. It was one year old when I 974 01:13:57.279 --> 01:14:00.479 got it. Oh my goodness, so you have really really done well? 975 01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:04.920 How long do you plan on keeping it? As long as the engine runs? 976 01:14:04.920 --> 01:14:09.279 And it runs beautiful now except for one thing. It's starting to mess 977 01:14:09.359 --> 01:14:12.039 up on me, and I can't figure out what it is. What is 978 01:14:12.079 --> 01:14:15.960 that there's a run beautiful, but all the time anything happens. Was like 979 01:14:15.079 --> 01:14:18.439 when I come to a stoplight, or if I stop the car, and 980 01:14:18.479 --> 01:14:23.159 if I take off a little bit too quick, like well mount too quick, 981 01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:28.279 it'll start bagging out on met the ball out and the RPN to go 982 01:14:28.319 --> 01:14:30.960 out, and it's like jerk and jerky. And the only way I can 983 01:14:30.000 --> 01:14:33.600 get rid of it is if I turn it off and turn it back out 984 01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:36.720 and it's running beautiful, a getting too I take off, come to a 985 01:14:36.720 --> 01:14:41.039 stop and take off to fast. Only do you take off too fast, 986 01:14:41.079 --> 01:14:45.920 you get hrky jerky, a lack of power, and then you have to 987 01:14:45.960 --> 01:14:47.760 reset it. What is that, Jeff? What is that? Well? 988 01:14:47.800 --> 01:14:51.760 I mean he said that the RPMs are going up, but the vehicle's not 989 01:14:51.800 --> 01:14:57.199 following those RPMs. So in all the words of the engines racing, but 990 01:14:57.199 --> 01:15:01.359 it's not pulling. Is that what you said, Michael, that the engine 991 01:15:01.439 --> 01:15:09.479 races, the RPM wows up a little bit and the angel bug out? 992 01:15:09.640 --> 01:15:12.079 Okay, what do you think? More like a mass there flow or a 993 01:15:12.079 --> 01:15:14.960 throut, a position sense or something like that. Sturdy, not as simple 994 01:15:15.000 --> 01:15:18.359 as a clutch. No, it's not a madic in the miracle. A 995 01:15:18.359 --> 01:15:24.199 two hunard pack two hundred thousand miles CBT is unusual in and he's very very 996 01:15:24.239 --> 01:15:29.199 unusual. Yeah, he's done well with that, so that transmission could be 997 01:15:29.239 --> 01:15:30.880 on the way out. Well, I don't want to cast any shadows on 998 01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:35.159 him, but yeah, that's overtime. Yeah. How how long do they 999 01:15:35.199 --> 01:15:39.840 normally last? You know, one hundred to one hundred and twenty five. 1000 01:15:40.319 --> 01:15:43.479 We've had some of the replacements that we've put in because we couldn't get parts 1001 01:15:43.479 --> 01:15:46.520 to build, so we've gotten dealer replacements and I've seen some of them those 1002 01:15:46.560 --> 01:15:51.680 go out in a year. What yep? Now, Nissan is has been 1003 01:15:51.800 --> 01:15:57.239 changing their warranty program on some of them. They used to be a twelve 1004 01:15:57.279 --> 01:15:59.600 twelve warranty on them, and now some of them are bumping them up to 1005 01:15:59.640 --> 01:16:02.079 three years. So if he needs a transmission rebuild, what does that cost 1006 01:16:02.159 --> 01:16:06.159 with that? On that one, he's probably looking somewhere around sixty five to 1007 01:16:06.199 --> 01:16:14.680 seven. What what car that you and you want to He wouldn't put that 1008 01:16:14.760 --> 01:16:18.319 into that car? Right? No? Oh? No, I mean it's 1009 01:16:18.319 --> 01:16:26.399 a good running car. I love him, but why does Why does resetting 1010 01:16:26.439 --> 01:16:30.880 it help him? When he restarts it, he's just shutting it down and 1011 01:16:30.920 --> 01:16:34.600 it just it goes back to zero whatever it was. The airflow sensor goes 1012 01:16:34.640 --> 01:16:39.760 back to base and then it comes up again. Yeah, okay, all 1013 01:16:39.880 --> 01:16:43.359 right, But in any case, Michael, you're on borrowed time, is 1014 01:16:43.359 --> 01:16:46.319 what they're saying. That's basically what they're saying. Hey, I want to 1015 01:16:46.359 --> 01:16:49.720 ask him something though, Hey, Michael, no one knows your last name, 1016 01:16:49.840 --> 01:16:55.880 so be completely honest, man, do you ever door dashing, like 1017 01:16:56.199 --> 01:17:01.720 take someone's fry or pizza. You know, honestly, Tom, I'm gonna 1018 01:17:01.720 --> 01:17:04.600 tell you the truth. Years ago, I used to be a chief. 1019 01:17:04.600 --> 01:17:06.760 Are you in the prison? A couple of times? To be a chief, 1020 01:17:06.800 --> 01:17:10.800 I gave my life. I would do. God, I haven't stolen 1021 01:17:10.840 --> 01:17:15.119 as much of the candy bar for the twelve or five years now, Okay, 1022 01:17:15.279 --> 01:17:18.119 I would not. I mean, do you think there do you think 1023 01:17:18.159 --> 01:17:25.600 there are people from door dash that taste the food? I don't know, 1024 01:17:25.880 --> 01:17:30.760 and I don't. I wouldn't teach your bags when you pick them up from 1025 01:17:30.760 --> 01:17:34.640 the grocery start or from the sun. Are staple shut? Yeah, that's 1026 01:17:34.640 --> 01:17:40.359 true. They wasn't staple to staples and get into it. Maybe there's a 1027 01:17:40.359 --> 01:17:43.760 couple, but I don't. I don't. Yeah, it doesn't seem like 1028 01:17:43.800 --> 01:17:46.239 they have even time to do that crap, to open that up and steal 1029 01:17:46.319 --> 01:17:51.520 some fries and come to think of it, you're right, those every time 1030 01:17:53.000 --> 01:17:57.000 I've gotten food has been sealed and you want it to be. Yeah, 1031 01:17:57.039 --> 01:18:00.680 they're staple. So my god, a stapler is ninety nine sense. Just 1032 01:18:00.680 --> 01:18:03.840 take a sip of your milkshake, Mark, take a what take a sip? 1033 01:18:05.840 --> 01:18:10.000 Yeah, yeah, but they don't put the straw in it. That's 1034 01:18:10.039 --> 01:18:15.680 the thing anyway, three oh three select they don't carry extra straws. So 1035 01:18:15.800 --> 01:18:21.439 what do you think about the latest polls showing that Biden is uh almost where 1036 01:18:21.439 --> 01:18:30.680 he's ahead of Trump? You know, I love different polls and everybody else 1037 01:18:30.720 --> 01:18:32.319 on earth. Wait, are you guys seeing this a ten point spread? 1038 01:18:32.399 --> 01:18:35.600 Right? And what is it? It's Fox News, isn't it. That 1039 01:18:35.680 --> 01:18:42.319 was Michigan? Okay, yeah, okay, it was Michigan, heavily demographic 1040 01:18:42.359 --> 01:18:46.760 blue state. All right, people, I guess what time California they're ahead 1041 01:18:46.800 --> 01:18:55.039 ten percent too. Oh you mean Biden's ahead ten percent in California? Yep, 1042 01:18:55.680 --> 01:19:04.159 Well we got more coming up, folks. Hi, Tom Martino, 1043 01:19:04.279 --> 01:19:10.319 you're a troubleshooter. Three zero three seven one three talks seven one three eight 1044 01:19:10.399 --> 01:19:17.239 two five five. Let's uh talk about cars or any problem that you have. 1045 01:19:18.760 --> 01:19:25.279 There's another thing I'd like to talk about too, and that is something 1046 01:19:25.520 --> 01:19:36.479 called d e I. Now that stands for diversity, equity and inclusion. 1047 01:19:38.800 --> 01:19:44.880 Now, years ago, this is truly fascinating to me. Years ago, 1048 01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:54.880 they wanted to get mainstream people everyone on board with this program. Okay, 1049 01:19:55.039 --> 01:19:58.880 now by the way. On the surface, it sounds great, diversity of 1050 01:19:58.920 --> 01:20:03.439 people and equity and inclusion. Who doesn't want that, right, But it 1051 01:20:03.520 --> 01:20:11.640 became a political statement for wokeness DEI and to get a lot of they wanted 1052 01:20:11.640 --> 01:20:15.760 to get a lot of conservatives and rich people and investors on board. So 1053 01:20:15.840 --> 01:20:21.479 they summoned a study by the way Blackrock, Well, Blackrock didn't really some 1054 01:20:21.680 --> 01:20:26.640 of the study, but they used the study as their ammunition. And for 1055 01:20:26.720 --> 01:20:30.640 those who want to know who Blackrock is, it's one of the largest money 1056 01:20:30.640 --> 01:20:35.199 managers, or the largest in the entire world, and so it's basically who 1057 01:20:35.279 --> 01:20:43.640 runs the Democratic Party now Blackrock. Here's what's amazing about this company. Blackrock 1058 01:20:44.840 --> 01:20:50.399 puts out advice on what makes a good investment and what makes a bad investment. 1059 01:20:51.039 --> 01:20:58.840 Now, they used to do that totally based on fundamental financial matrix. 1060 01:20:59.840 --> 01:21:01.640 That's what they did. That was it how much do you make, how 1061 01:21:01.720 --> 01:21:06.239 much you spend, what's your research and development, what is your place in 1062 01:21:06.279 --> 01:21:11.319 the marketplace, what is investor sentiment? You know, in other words, 1063 01:21:11.359 --> 01:21:17.840 fundamentals what makes your company a good investment? And people would follow, not 1064 01:21:17.960 --> 01:21:25.039 just people who invest in Blackrock, but the entire financial industry went the way 1065 01:21:25.159 --> 01:21:30.720 Blackrock told them to go. Then Blackrock, which is an amazing phenomenon. 1066 01:21:31.960 --> 01:21:40.920 The leader of Blackrock, who is a die hard, woke liberal Democrat, 1067 01:21:42.359 --> 01:21:47.800 wanted to change things and he wanted to do it by getting to someone's pocketbook. 1068 01:21:48.800 --> 01:21:56.600 So in their analysis, instead of doing just financial matrix, they added 1069 01:21:56.760 --> 01:22:03.159 other things like what is their carbon footprint and what are they doing for climate 1070 01:22:03.279 --> 01:22:13.720 change or to help the climate. And they're also ADDEDDI diversity, equity and 1071 01:22:13.840 --> 01:22:24.159 inclusion. And Blackrock on its own started concluding investments are good or bad based 1072 01:22:24.319 --> 01:22:30.960 on social issues as well as economic issues. So imagine that you could have 1073 01:22:31.199 --> 01:22:40.279 a screaming great company in all areas of finance and economics. But if they 1074 01:22:40.399 --> 01:22:45.640 perceived you, and I mean perceived you to be top heavy with whites, 1075 01:22:46.800 --> 01:22:55.239 or you didn't have enough women, or you did not do enough to combat 1076 01:22:55.720 --> 01:23:01.439 climate change, then you were knocked down down a few notches when it came 1077 01:23:01.560 --> 01:23:10.760 to investing, and as a result, market value for these companies hit the 1078 01:23:10.800 --> 01:23:17.640 skids in some cases, so they were forced to institute programs to reduce carbon 1079 01:23:17.840 --> 01:23:25.479 and to fight climate change and to do DI in order to get into the 1080 01:23:25.520 --> 01:23:31.079 good graces of Blackrock. That's social engineering. That's what that is. That's 1081 01:23:31.119 --> 01:23:40.520 social engineering. So when people challenged Blackrock, they pointed to a study, 1082 01:23:41.640 --> 01:23:49.600 the McKenzie study, and said, well, the McKenzie study showed that DEI 1083 01:23:50.239 --> 01:23:59.840 is good for the company, and companies that have more DI are more profitable. 1084 01:24:00.439 --> 01:24:05.680 And they went on to show that those companies, other companies who are 1085 01:24:06.159 --> 01:24:12.880 advanced in fighting climate change are also more profitable. So all of a sudden, 1086 01:24:12.920 --> 01:24:18.560 these billionaires and these these investors and these investment advisors and all of these 1087 01:24:18.720 --> 01:24:26.960 underlings not even associated with Blackrock started spreading around the buzz if you want to 1088 01:24:26.960 --> 01:24:31.239 be profitable, you gotta be woke, you must take a social stand. 1089 01:24:32.000 --> 01:24:40.159 And then it started including lbgy TQSUVWXYZ whatever. I don't get these letters, 1090 01:24:40.159 --> 01:24:42.720 and I don't want to insult people, but let's just say a to Z. 1091 01:24:43.239 --> 01:24:48.239 So you have that, you have climate change, you have DEI, 1092 01:24:48.760 --> 01:25:01.159 and any other social issue that Blackrock deemed as important for profitability now became it 1093 01:25:01.239 --> 01:25:08.439 was for profit not social engineering. And I swear to god, the entire 1094 01:25:08.640 --> 01:25:14.039 country started looking at things differently, Like people said, well, why would 1095 01:25:14.119 --> 01:25:19.880 bud Light make such a stupid mistake During National Women whatever. They were celebrating 1096 01:25:19.920 --> 01:25:28.359 women, and they send this bud light to a transgender woman instead of any 1097 01:25:28.439 --> 01:25:30.880 of the number of women, and they may so they ask why would they 1098 01:25:30.920 --> 01:25:36.560 do that? And in other words, people also asked why would Disney make 1099 01:25:36.680 --> 01:25:41.920 such a big deal, why would these other companies do that? And the 1100 01:25:42.079 --> 01:25:48.319 answer was they were sucking black rocks ass thinking we're going to be profitable and 1101 01:25:48.399 --> 01:25:57.479 we want them to recommend us. And that's how you social engineer, and 1102 01:25:57.520 --> 01:26:01.000 you put matrix in that have nothing to do with reality. Now why do 1103 01:26:01.159 --> 01:26:05.960 I say it has nothing to do with reality? Yeah, but a lot 1104 01:26:06.000 --> 01:26:12.119 of those companies tom have changed course, like Nike and Walmart, and almost 1105 01:26:12.159 --> 01:26:18.359 all of them have just completely gotten rid of the DEE. I was about 1106 01:26:18.399 --> 01:26:26.479 to say that the peddlers of wokeness had a root awakening, because this so 1107 01:26:26.720 --> 01:26:38.119 called McKenzie study that everyone based everything on was recently challenged and there were dozens 1108 01:26:38.279 --> 01:26:46.039 and dozens of economic professors and academics who could not duplicate the findings using any 1109 01:26:46.159 --> 01:26:58.239 data whatsoever. McKenzie's findings failed and they could not substantiate them when challenged. 1110 01:26:59.720 --> 01:27:04.279 So all of that bs that we heard about, all of this being good 1111 01:27:04.279 --> 01:27:11.920 for business turned out to be lies? Aren't they when they have a fund 1112 01:27:12.119 --> 01:27:16.359 like Blackrock has a fund and I know Texas pulled out the school Teachers' union 1113 01:27:16.399 --> 01:27:21.800 of eight point five billion or something crazy if they actually lost money, aren't 1114 01:27:21.800 --> 01:27:28.359 they also a fiduciary? Isn't it illegal to mislead people? Well, yeah, 1115 01:27:28.359 --> 01:27:31.800 but Blackrock is pointing to a study the remember they're not. But really, 1116 01:27:31.920 --> 01:27:39.680 long before that study, Blackrock was always citing social things as a driver 1117 01:27:39.880 --> 01:27:44.760 for investing. So what Blackrock was trying to do this, this liberal woke 1118 01:27:45.399 --> 01:27:51.479 giant firm was trying to social engineer by basically saying to people, well, 1119 01:27:51.479 --> 01:27:57.319 if your company doesn't lockstep in line with us, we're going to give it 1120 01:27:57.359 --> 01:28:00.239 a bad rating and you're not going to get a lot of I swear, 1121 01:28:00.319 --> 01:28:05.319 and your stockholdings are going to go down too because the value will go down. 1122 01:28:06.159 --> 01:28:15.239 And so black Rock has gotten into hot water over this kind of shenanigan, 1123 01:28:15.680 --> 01:28:26.399 and they've recently been stepping away from environmental social governance wokeness for investing. 1124 01:28:26.920 --> 01:28:30.920 I don't understand why there's not more lawsuits. Let's just take bud Light or 1125 01:28:30.960 --> 01:28:35.840 any anything that is publicly traded they're supposed to do what's best, and I 1126 01:28:35.960 --> 01:28:40.159 mean that what's best for the sheriffs, right, I don't care what it 1127 01:28:40.239 --> 01:28:44.079 is. And when they make decisions that are not how come they're not held 1128 01:28:44.119 --> 01:28:48.439 accountable? Well, because the decisions are made believing that's going to help the 1129 01:28:48.479 --> 01:28:53.960 company. No way, no way. Anybody that worked for bud Light would 1130 01:28:54.000 --> 01:28:58.760 think mulaney was going to help that product line. Budline sold to people at 1131 01:28:58.840 --> 01:29:03.520 NASCAR, And by the way, Target also took a big hit in values 1132 01:29:03.560 --> 01:29:09.600 when they had that little transgender area for kids. Bud Light's still down till 1133 01:29:09.640 --> 01:29:13.720 this day. Bud Light is down over twenty five percent. In most other 1134 01:29:13.760 --> 01:29:17.479 beer brands like Cores and michelob they're up anywhere from ten to twenty right, 1135 01:29:17.760 --> 01:29:20.800 that's right. Yeah, So anyway, we got we gotta take a break. 1136 01:29:20.800 --> 01:29:24.319 Three all three, seven to one three talk, Ted, You're up 1137 01:29:24.359 --> 01:29:27.199 next. Okay, Ted, you have a two thousand and nine Kia Sorrento. 1138 01:29:27.520 --> 01:29:29.399 Can you hang on for a second? All right, hang on, 1139 01:29:29.479 --> 01:29:42.279 We'll be right back to you. Hi, Tom Martino, your troubleshooter. 1140 01:29:42.319 --> 01:29:45.199 Three all three seven one three talks seven one three and two five five. 1141 01:29:45.239 --> 01:29:48.760 Ted has a question about two thousand and nine Kia Sorrento. What's going on, 1142 01:29:48.840 --> 01:29:54.079 Ted, I, I kicked the car. It wasn't running, so 1143 01:29:54.119 --> 01:29:58.359 I took it to a shop had a toad and the first shop said, 1144 01:29:58.359 --> 01:30:01.119 and needs a new engine. So I took it to another shop. They 1145 01:30:01.159 --> 01:30:04.880 said, yes, it needs a new engine. Yeah, I could probably 1146 01:30:04.920 --> 01:30:09.479 find you one. So he found us one out of California. How many 1147 01:30:09.479 --> 01:30:14.279 miles were on that, I'm just curious. Originally it had about one hundred 1148 01:30:14.359 --> 01:30:18.960 and twelve thousand miles. So just pass the warranty that covers everything you know 1149 01:30:19.079 --> 01:30:21.720 on Akiya. Yeah, that's that ten year, one hundred thousand one. 1150 01:30:21.960 --> 01:30:26.479 That's a great warranty. So anyway, what did what happened with the engine? 1151 01:30:28.279 --> 01:30:33.760 Well, they said, I really didn't get an explanation why what happened 1152 01:30:33.800 --> 01:30:40.680 to the original engine, just that it needed a new engine. So we 1153 01:30:40.800 --> 01:30:45.039 agreed, come on, Wanning, California, come on two thousand dollars. 1154 01:30:45.159 --> 01:30:46.920 Wait a minute, they were going to do they were going to do a 1155 01:30:47.039 --> 01:30:54.359 used engine. Yeah, and it was found leant in California that only had 1156 01:30:55.920 --> 01:30:59.399 sixty eight thousand miles on it. Okay, but was that just for the 1157 01:30:59.439 --> 01:31:04.119 engine or the installation too. Oh the installer. It cost me almost six 1158 01:31:04.159 --> 01:31:08.960 thousand dollars to have this done. Okay, got it. We get the 1159 01:31:09.000 --> 01:31:13.880 car back. It runs fine on the way home, and then I make 1160 01:31:13.960 --> 01:31:18.199 up some for sale signs because we have other vehicles who don't need that and 1161 01:31:18.479 --> 01:31:23.920 we intend on selling it. So a couple of days go by, I 1162 01:31:23.960 --> 01:31:28.119 finally get the for sale signs in it. We take it over to Walmart 1163 01:31:28.399 --> 01:31:30.680 in Parker. It sits there for a couple of days. I get several 1164 01:31:30.720 --> 01:31:35.039 calls on it. In fact, but because I'm asking ten thousand dollars for 1165 01:31:35.159 --> 01:31:40.760 it with a used engine that only had sixty eight thousand miles, and it's 1166 01:31:40.760 --> 01:31:46.000 a four wheel drive SUV, so I figure that's where ten grand? How 1167 01:31:46.159 --> 01:31:48.800 is it? How is it running? How was it running? After the 1168 01:31:48.920 --> 01:31:59.399 job? It was perfect? But then we bring it back home and we 1169 01:31:59.479 --> 01:32:03.199 go to dry the next day and it's got no power. All these lights 1170 01:32:03.239 --> 01:32:08.640 come on, the airbag light, the four wheel drive low light. Yeah, 1171 01:32:08.760 --> 01:32:10.800 what did it turn out to be? Man? What did that turn 1172 01:32:10.840 --> 01:32:14.880 out to be? Well, we took it back and they still have the 1173 01:32:15.000 --> 01:32:21.119 car Ego Automotive and then he tells how long has he had it? This 1174 01:32:21.319 --> 01:32:29.119 time about three weeks. Okay, but and he told me there's a third 1175 01:32:29.399 --> 01:32:33.079 This engine we bought came with a warranty, a one year warranty, but 1176 01:32:33.159 --> 01:32:41.199 it's with a third party insurance. Yeah, but this doesn't sound like an 1177 01:32:41.199 --> 01:32:46.439 engine problem. Had you had a used engine put in the car and then 1178 01:32:46.880 --> 01:32:51.960 those other those other symptoms you explained don't sound like an engine something more like 1179 01:32:51.960 --> 01:32:55.720 a voltage issue, you know, when you're having that many lights come on 1180 01:32:55.760 --> 01:33:01.479 at one time. Yeah, have you ever had the jump? Since I 1181 01:33:01.520 --> 01:33:05.600 haven't ob one, you know, tess thing and I plugged it in and 1182 01:33:05.680 --> 01:33:13.720 it gave me a callde for a switch, So Ted Ted, Ted, 1183 01:33:13.800 --> 01:33:16.520 listen, if you had a used engine put in there, okay, and 1184 01:33:16.600 --> 01:33:21.680 it was running and now you have some other problems, it's probably related to 1185 01:33:21.760 --> 01:33:28.760 that. But it doesn't mean the engine is bad, right, So I 1186 01:33:28.800 --> 01:33:32.239 don't understand. Oh, I'd like to know if I can get my money 1187 01:33:32.279 --> 01:33:35.960 back for this and just go get my car back, your money back for 1188 01:33:36.039 --> 01:33:43.640 the engine. Yeah, how could you ever get your money back for an 1189 01:33:43.640 --> 01:33:47.319 engine? How? Over what Ted? What you're saying doesn't make sense. 1190 01:33:47.640 --> 01:33:51.920 You had them pull out the old engine and put in another one. Now 1191 01:33:51.960 --> 01:33:58.000 assuming they really did that, Okay, they did the work. Now you 1192 01:33:58.159 --> 01:34:05.079 had some complications, Okay, they should probably fix those complications if it came 1193 01:34:05.159 --> 01:34:09.520 as a result of the change it. Yeah, what are they saying is 1194 01:34:09.560 --> 01:34:17.880 wrong with it? Well, there's the cam shaft or the the timing belt. 1195 01:34:18.359 --> 01:34:23.199 Oh wait, I mean they're saying they're saying there's something wrong with the 1196 01:34:23.239 --> 01:34:27.800 engine. Yes, okay, okay, you didn't explain that before. You 1197 01:34:27.840 --> 01:34:33.680 explained electrical problems, so so there is something wrong with the engine itself, 1198 01:34:34.560 --> 01:34:36.800 right, But when I took it back, I just told them, well, 1199 01:34:36.840 --> 01:34:41.600 the airbag light's on and the four wheel drive low light is on. 1200 01:34:42.079 --> 01:34:47.399 And then they told you you have a problem in the engine. Right after 1201 01:34:47.479 --> 01:34:50.880 a few weeks, what did they And they said, there's something wrong with 1202 01:34:50.920 --> 01:34:57.600 the camshaft. Well, it's I misspoked on that. It's the timing chain, 1203 01:34:58.079 --> 01:35:01.239 okay, and that seems about out right if that had about sixty thousand 1204 01:35:01.279 --> 01:35:05.399 miles on it used, Yeah, not so much, not so much. 1205 01:35:05.560 --> 01:35:09.880 They don't have to be changed, no, no, And they wouldn't change 1206 01:35:09.880 --> 01:35:13.239 that as part of a normal used engine. Did they say that's the only 1207 01:35:13.319 --> 01:35:19.880 thing wrong with them? Probably? Fair? And they're waiting for the third 1208 01:35:19.960 --> 01:35:25.960 party insurer to know if they're going to cover the parts or we got to 1209 01:35:26.000 --> 01:35:28.640 pay for them. Okay, that's what I want to know. Now, 1210 01:35:28.960 --> 01:35:33.359 when you bought this used engine, did you what did they tell you the 1211 01:35:33.399 --> 01:35:41.520 warranty was? They didn't till last week? Okay, but ted, did 1212 01:35:41.560 --> 01:35:44.800 you ask about a warranty? I mean, you know, you have some 1213 01:35:44.920 --> 01:35:47.520 responsibility in this. So when you took that in there and they said you 1214 01:35:47.600 --> 01:35:51.479 need to use you need another engine. We found a used engine. We 1215 01:35:51.600 --> 01:35:56.479 found a used engine and we can install it and it's going to cost this 1216 01:35:56.640 --> 01:36:03.439 much money. Did you ask about a warranty? Yeah? Yeah, Okay, 1217 01:36:03.840 --> 01:36:08.880 where's the warranty? What does the warranty say? Well, he said 1218 01:36:08.880 --> 01:36:12.880 it was covered for a year, but then I find out just last week 1219 01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:16.319 that it's the third party. He probably bought it from LKQ. Where did 1220 01:36:16.399 --> 01:36:19.039 do you know where you bought the un No, that's where I would go, 1221 01:36:19.319 --> 01:36:23.039 you know, that's how that's how the warranty works. When we buy 1222 01:36:23.039 --> 01:36:26.359 an engine and sell it to a customer used engine, used engine, LKQ 1223 01:36:26.840 --> 01:36:30.239 is the nationwide warranty for it. But I don't wait for them to tell 1224 01:36:30.279 --> 01:36:33.600 me how to deal with my customer. I take care of my customer, 1225 01:36:33.600 --> 01:36:41.600 but Q will then reimburse me. Do you have the name of the warranty? 1226 01:36:42.000 --> 01:36:45.680 No, they don't member which place? They don't say no, And 1227 01:36:45.720 --> 01:36:48.199 it's not on any of my PaperWorks that I came from. The Eagle's a 1228 01:36:48.199 --> 01:36:50.760 big outfit. They're not going to screw around. What do you mean Eagle 1229 01:36:51.000 --> 01:36:56.000 the place he had it done? Egout of motive? It was that said 1230 01:36:56.039 --> 01:36:58.760 Parker, gep Eagle. I thought he said Ego out of moment. What's 1231 01:36:58.800 --> 01:37:01.319 the name of the place you went to. It's Eagle Automotive in Parker. 1232 01:37:01.439 --> 01:37:05.239 Oh. I've got about eight or ten stores. They're not going to play 1233 01:37:05.239 --> 01:37:11.960 around with us. Okay, they're they're pretty good. Yeah, yeah, 1234 01:37:12.000 --> 01:37:15.479 and I agree so far he's been legit. But I I called them to 1235 01:37:15.520 --> 01:37:20.880 find out what's going on. The woman tells me she'll have the man call. 1236 01:37:21.319 --> 01:37:25.359 He never calls me. Yeah. We have to stop by there the 1237 01:37:25.399 --> 01:37:28.359 other day to figure out what the hell. Yeah, hold on, I 1238 01:37:28.399 --> 01:37:31.239 don't blame you for being upset not knowing what's going on. We're hold on 1239 01:37:31.319 --> 01:37:33.359 a second. We'll see what we can do to help you out here. 1240 01:37:33.399 --> 01:37:53.520 Hang on, Hi, Tom Martino here three oh three seven one three talk 1241 01:37:53.600 --> 01:37:57.520 seven one three eight two five five. Now let's talk to what are we 1242 01:37:57.560 --> 01:38:00.840 gonna do about this place? Ted? We don't, we don't know. 1243 01:38:01.359 --> 01:38:06.119 What are you sure? This place was called the Eagle Automotive. There's two 1244 01:38:06.159 --> 01:38:10.640 places in Parker called Eagle, neither of which are the one I was thinking. 1245 01:38:10.840 --> 01:38:14.920 Yeah, does your actual invoice say, Ted, who did you do 1246 01:38:15.039 --> 01:38:19.119 business with? Motive and diesel? Yeah? That's what is a content? 1247 01:38:19.800 --> 01:38:25.560 It's a different goal transmission automotive and diesel. It's an okay, okay, 1248 01:38:25.600 --> 01:38:30.600 okay, So that's an independent shop. And do you have a copy of 1249 01:38:30.640 --> 01:38:39.039 your warranty? No, it just says used engine assembly engine has sixty eight 1250 01:38:39.159 --> 01:38:42.560 K one year parts warranty. Okay, it does say that. That's good. 1251 01:38:42.600 --> 01:38:45.439 That's good. That's good. So what do they say there? Now? 1252 01:38:45.439 --> 01:38:51.720 What do they say about that one year parts warranty? Well, that 1253 01:38:51.760 --> 01:38:57.359 they can you can't call them. I guess they just email, use email 1254 01:38:57.479 --> 01:39:02.760 and of the third party and quick cotton, he said, normally they're quick 1255 01:39:02.800 --> 01:39:06.039 on responding. But in MI. But you see, I don't think you 1256 01:39:06.119 --> 01:39:10.279 have to worry about that. I think they're the ones that have to warranty. 1257 01:39:10.319 --> 01:39:13.199 If that's what your invoice says, I need you to send us. 1258 01:39:13.399 --> 01:39:15.720 You know, Kelly, we can't handle this without looking at his invoice. 1259 01:39:15.840 --> 01:39:30.439 I need to see what he's reading about that warranty. Yeah, ripped up 1260 01:39:31.079 --> 01:39:38.640 news. You need advice so you don't have to come running. Just as 1261 01:39:38.640 --> 01:39:45.640 stas as we can. Shooter's gonna help coming. This is the Troubleshooter Show. 1262 01:39:46.279 --> 01:39:51.279 No Tom Martine, Hey Tom Martino here, welcome to the show. 1263 01:39:51.319 --> 01:39:56.359 It's car Friday. It's a crazy damn show. Do you realize we actually 1264 01:39:56.359 --> 01:39:58.760 have two shows going on. You don't even know that. We got one 1265 01:39:58.800 --> 01:40:01.000 on the air and went off there three oh three seven three talks seven one 1266 01:40:01.079 --> 01:40:05.680 three eight two five five. Now listen. I know Ted's worried. I 1267 01:40:05.760 --> 01:40:09.920 can hear it in his voice. I can hear his wife and and and 1268 01:40:10.000 --> 01:40:12.680 here's the thing, Ted, I need to see the invoice. Here's the 1269 01:40:12.680 --> 01:40:15.800 bottom line. You bought a used engine. Okay, Now, with a 1270 01:40:15.920 --> 01:40:18.159 used engine, you said, came a warranty. It sounds like the warranty 1271 01:40:18.239 --> 01:40:23.520 is only warrantied for parts. It sounds like one of the parts probably went 1272 01:40:23.560 --> 01:40:27.920 bad. And if it is, the timing chain here's the from what I 1273 01:40:28.039 --> 01:40:31.199 just read, from not read from what you told me, it sounds like 1274 01:40:31.640 --> 01:40:34.880 that that would be covered, but you'd probably have to pay for the labor 1275 01:40:34.920 --> 01:40:40.640 for changing it out. That's the that's one of the risks in getting a 1276 01:40:40.760 --> 01:40:45.520 used engine. However, if the problem is you want your money back, 1277 01:40:45.840 --> 01:40:48.920 I really can't help you with that. There is no money back guarantee unless 1278 01:40:48.920 --> 01:40:53.359 they cheated you. I don't think they cheated you. I think, yeah, 1279 01:40:53.399 --> 01:40:56.119 I don't think that. I think you bought a use I think you 1280 01:40:56.199 --> 01:40:59.760 bought a used engine and you got the luck of the draw and you got 1281 01:40:59.800 --> 01:41:02.319 now another issue. We don't know what that issue is, and we can 1282 01:41:02.439 --> 01:41:06.520 have someone called down there and work with them to try to see what they 1283 01:41:06.520 --> 01:41:10.760 can do to help you. There's no I think they should pay some of 1284 01:41:10.760 --> 01:41:13.760 the labor because it happens so quickly. Yes, I do too. I 1285 01:41:13.840 --> 01:41:16.319 do too. So we can have someone. We say in there on the 1286 01:41:16.359 --> 01:41:21.800 paper that I will send you that you have fifteen days or bring it back 1287 01:41:21.800 --> 01:41:30.520 in fifteen by fifteen days for an inspection to backworking conditions. But no, 1288 01:41:30.680 --> 01:41:36.880 we're so for one, what are you saying we have fifteen days to dispute 1289 01:41:36.880 --> 01:41:41.079 it, I guess, But what do you mean to dispute it? What 1290 01:41:41.119 --> 01:41:44.279 does that mean? To dispute it? We have it for If we have 1291 01:41:44.399 --> 01:41:47.600 it like for two months, we can't dispute it. You have fifteen days. 1292 01:41:48.319 --> 01:41:53.039 No, I don't think there's a money are you saying like two week 1293 01:41:53.119 --> 01:42:00.560 money back guarantee? Well, no, it's their thing in the paper here. 1294 01:42:00.760 --> 01:42:02.319 Let me find it. Don't worry about it. I need to see 1295 01:42:02.359 --> 01:42:10.000 it because I'm very confused. All I know is this, can we kachina? 1296 01:42:10.119 --> 01:42:14.119 Can we give this the deputy dollar to help this guy over at that 1297 01:42:14.199 --> 01:42:16.680 place. We're gonna make some calls for you. Okay, Now Jay's got 1298 01:42:16.680 --> 01:42:19.640 a comment on your situation. Jay, go ahead, what's your comment on 1299 01:42:19.680 --> 01:42:26.119 his? Uh? His? Kiah? Hey Tom? Hey man? Multiple 1300 01:42:26.199 --> 01:42:30.039 lights going on like that. Usually the computer is looking for grounds and I 1301 01:42:30.119 --> 01:42:32.840 can't find him, so it turns on all kinds of different lights. Sounds 1302 01:42:32.880 --> 01:42:38.000 like they mystic ground strap or a junction or a bunch of ground. Why 1303 01:42:38.000 --> 01:42:42.039 are they telling him now he needs a timing belt? I mean change you're 1304 01:42:42.079 --> 01:42:45.359 guessing they might be guessing. They may not be that. If all this 1305 01:42:45.520 --> 01:42:48.960 lights are popping on, you can almost bet with an engine and swap. 1306 01:42:49.239 --> 01:42:55.000 Someone missed the ground strap or a junction block or all a lot of guys, 1307 01:42:55.039 --> 01:42:57.359 what do you think? Sounds like it's possible. That's why I said 1308 01:42:57.399 --> 01:43:00.279 vaultage, you know, vaultage ground At first, that's what the guy told 1309 01:43:00.359 --> 01:43:01.960 us, but then they told him he needed some kind of timing. Jan 1310 01:43:02.000 --> 01:43:05.840 I'm wondering they're trying to take him for a ride. It could really be 1311 01:43:05.960 --> 01:43:10.560 possible, because it terns like you need to sear up the first problem and 1312 01:43:10.960 --> 01:43:15.359 there you know, and thank you. I recognize that you've called before with 1313 01:43:15.439 --> 01:43:21.239 the stuff and I appreciate it. So we'll have to tell Deputy Dollar that 1314 01:43:23.520 --> 01:43:27.479 to help him. Three oh three, seven to one three Talk Gary, 1315 01:43:27.560 --> 01:43:30.720 Hi, Gary, what's going on? Hey Tom? I've been wanting to 1316 01:43:30.720 --> 01:43:34.079 call for a while on the following thing. It's two part, but one, 1317 01:43:34.319 --> 01:43:42.000 I'm curious what you're Friday after and auto guys think about the boutique oils 1318 01:43:42.079 --> 01:43:46.920 that are available, for example, An's Oil, Royal Purple, Schaeffer, 1319 01:43:47.159 --> 01:43:53.239 et cetera. And then the second part of that question is is there anything 1320 01:43:53.279 --> 01:43:56.720 to these DG products? Man, We talked about that too. Yeah, 1321 01:43:56.800 --> 01:44:00.199 we talked about both these topics. We talked about the designer oil in previous 1322 01:44:00.239 --> 01:44:04.119 shows, and then we just talked about BG today. So let's take BG 1323 01:44:04.239 --> 01:44:10.079 first, guys, But let's talk about BG in general. You have all 1324 01:44:10.199 --> 01:44:14.039 kinds of BG products, yes, and you think they're solid. I like 1325 01:44:14.119 --> 01:44:15.760 all of them. Yes, yeah, I've never had one fail on me. 1326 01:44:16.720 --> 01:44:19.359 I mean between their and it's a lot of overkill. I had a 1327 01:44:19.359 --> 01:44:24.520 conversation customer call just for this question too. But if you use full synthetic 1328 01:44:24.560 --> 01:44:27.560 oils and everything else, why do you need MOA? But you don't need 1329 01:44:27.600 --> 01:44:30.760 it, but it's just a little bit extra. What's MOA the motorol adadive. 1330 01:44:30.800 --> 01:44:33.600 I'm sorry, BG's motorol additive. So if you used the top of 1331 01:44:33.680 --> 01:44:36.520 light oil, why would you need to put BG in it as well? 1332 01:44:38.039 --> 01:44:40.359 You don't have to put it in, but I just think you get an 1333 01:44:40.399 --> 01:44:45.319 extra level of protection for twelve bucks, you know, best twelve bucks spent. 1334 01:44:45.840 --> 01:44:50.600 Now, as far as the designer oils, there's really nothing wrong with 1335 01:44:50.640 --> 01:44:55.680 them. They're good synthetic oil. But they're not the best synthetic oil like 1336 01:44:55.720 --> 01:44:58.119 they say, they're just good. They're all good right now, I don't 1337 01:44:58.159 --> 01:45:01.039 know. I mean the biggest thing I AM Oil did wrong is they're marketing. 1338 01:45:01.279 --> 01:45:05.960 I mean, tell me of some guy's garage. The multi level right, 1339 01:45:06.039 --> 01:45:09.640 yeah, so what do you not think about the product AMS Oil sell 1340 01:45:09.720 --> 01:45:12.960 itself is probably one of, if they not the best oil on the market, 1341 01:45:13.479 --> 01:45:17.279 whether it's it is truly it's a fantastic oil. Okay, So when 1342 01:45:17.319 --> 01:45:21.600 you're sticking with the name brands themselves. But aren't most synthetics created equally, 1343 01:45:23.079 --> 01:45:26.039 No, they definitely aren't. What do you like about ams oil so much? 1344 01:45:26.239 --> 01:45:28.760 It's well, they've got a much higher share rating, they've got a 1345 01:45:28.800 --> 01:45:31.359 higher boiling point, they've got a better poor point, they have better lubrocity, 1346 01:45:31.800 --> 01:45:38.079 they're overall probably the best mobile one can have a commercial operation use them, 1347 01:45:38.119 --> 01:45:41.079 can you? Well yeah you can't. They're just very expensive. They're 1348 01:45:41.079 --> 01:45:44.880 cost prohibitive to resell and everything else. But the Royal Purple was up there 1349 01:45:45.680 --> 01:45:47.920 up there too, ye yeah, so it's Royal Purple. It's another oil. 1350 01:45:48.319 --> 01:45:53.039 You know who makes that one? I'm not who's who's at it is 1351 01:45:53.039 --> 01:45:56.399 at a multi level marketing thing too. You can buy them that's made it 1352 01:45:56.399 --> 01:46:00.680 while he was alive, so you know, and then mobile ones you know, 1353 01:46:00.800 --> 01:46:02.880 right, up there, probably tied with Royal Purple and all ectual on 1354 01:46:03.199 --> 01:46:06.399 the base that they start with. It was the first synthetic, wasn't it. 1355 01:46:08.039 --> 01:46:12.520 I believe. So I don't know. Yeah, so everyone has a 1356 01:46:12.560 --> 01:46:15.960 synthetic now though every major brand, right, most authors and most of your 1357 01:46:16.279 --> 01:46:20.319 auto part stores, you know, they carry a synthetic, and a lot 1358 01:46:20.359 --> 01:46:26.000 of times if you look into it, they're actually rebranded from a major brand. 1359 01:46:26.079 --> 01:46:29.920 Gary, what do you think have you used AMZ oil? Well, 1360 01:46:30.199 --> 01:46:35.760 so I bought it use twenty twenty Honda Odyssey recently, and I because of 1361 01:46:35.800 --> 01:46:42.239 that purchase, I sort of stumbled on this subject. And I became rather 1362 01:46:42.319 --> 01:46:46.760 convinced about Shaefer oil after reading about it and talking to a mechanic and boulder 1363 01:46:46.760 --> 01:46:53.760 that I trust. And then my neighbor worked in the Audi Volkswagen dealership for 1364 01:46:53.800 --> 01:46:58.560 a long time and he's pretty high on the BG products. And so I'm 1365 01:46:58.600 --> 01:47:00.479 just trying to put two and two together and see what, you know, 1366 01:47:00.600 --> 01:47:05.640 see what makes sense? The uh, the shape, I mean, it 1367 01:47:05.720 --> 01:47:08.680 seems to be fine, But how do you really know? I mean, 1368 01:47:08.720 --> 01:47:11.039 you put it in your car and you drive right, you can't tell. 1369 01:47:11.159 --> 01:47:13.680 No, it's a long game. It's definitely a long game. You don't 1370 01:47:13.720 --> 01:47:15.279 know right away, you'll know in ten years. Yeah, but you're gonna 1371 01:47:15.279 --> 01:47:19.439 be hard pressed to find a mechanic that doesn't like BEG products. Yeah. 1372 01:47:19.560 --> 01:47:24.239 Okay. Well, the thing that makes me a little nervous about them, 1373 01:47:24.319 --> 01:47:27.760 or maybe not nervous that the suspect might be better, is the is there 1374 01:47:27.960 --> 01:47:32.920 uh there their their mechanic use of payback. You know, you give them 1375 01:47:32.920 --> 01:47:36.520 a little the little silver discs in the in the cans and stuff, and 1376 01:47:36.800 --> 01:47:41.479 they get they get kickbacks on that, so you know it's a quarter. 1377 01:47:41.640 --> 01:47:45.399 I agree they might be good, but there's also that aspect of it where 1378 01:47:45.399 --> 01:47:48.159 there there's definitely a financial incentive to sell the product. I don't know if 1379 01:47:48.199 --> 01:47:51.199 they still do that, do they? I couldn't tell you the last time 1380 01:47:51.239 --> 01:47:54.279 I even found one of the coins. No, I haven't seen one of 1381 01:47:54.319 --> 01:47:59.359 those in a long time. You know, ha k can there's a silver 1382 01:47:59.439 --> 01:48:01.479 there's a no, there was a gold one in there that was worth a 1383 01:48:01.600 --> 01:48:04.159 dollar and the others are worth a quarter. So what does that mean? 1384 01:48:04.239 --> 01:48:09.399 What is that? Well, it's just the mechanic can get a kickback from 1385 01:48:09.479 --> 01:48:13.640 the no when the dealer comes out to restock the shelf. He'll pay them 1386 01:48:13.640 --> 01:48:16.960 for Oh, it's just pocket change for the mechanic. It doesn't amount to 1387 01:48:16.960 --> 01:48:21.079 anything. Okay, Well, anyway, thanks for calling Gary. So Susan 1388 01:48:21.199 --> 01:48:31.720 has a Hyundai. Go ahead, Susan, Oh hello, Hi, I'm 1389 01:48:31.840 --> 01:48:36.439 very nervous. I didn't on the okay, so the radio. So let's 1390 01:48:36.439 --> 01:48:41.199 help you out here. What's the issue with your engine? Okay? So 1391 01:48:41.560 --> 01:48:45.560 try to make a very long, complicated story short. Yeah, September twentieth 1392 01:48:45.560 --> 01:48:50.600 of last year, my engine went into limp mode and how to check engine 1393 01:48:50.640 --> 01:48:55.920 light go on around the Royal Gorge area three hours away from my Oh, 1394 01:48:56.039 --> 01:48:59.760 I was coming back from visiting my sister. Had to have it towed five 1395 01:49:00.039 --> 01:49:03.840 an eighty dollar bill had it Tota Rapaho, Hyundai Rapo. I had it 1396 01:49:03.880 --> 01:49:14.199 for five months. Why five months? Well, mechanic issues, management, 1397 01:49:14.359 --> 01:49:15.960 I don't know. I got the run around for a lot of things. 1398 01:49:17.359 --> 01:49:25.800 God my car also corporate hun Day. I got a new engine eventually. 1399 01:49:26.079 --> 01:49:32.279 Oh good, Yes, So got it at the end of February March area. 1400 01:49:32.520 --> 01:49:35.840 I have on my notes. I'm in my car, so I don't 1401 01:49:35.880 --> 01:49:40.159 have them with me, but around Februar March area when I got it I 1402 01:49:40.199 --> 01:49:43.399 knew it didn't seem right. It felt different. Everybody's like, well, 1403 01:49:43.399 --> 01:49:45.520 you had a loaner for five months, Da da da da da. It 1404 01:49:45.600 --> 01:49:48.800 was a little nicer cars than my car, more power whatever, so I 1405 01:49:49.159 --> 01:49:53.439 kind of blew it off. Well. During that time, I also had 1406 01:49:53.479 --> 01:49:56.600 to have another toe because they gave it back to me and I got stranded 1407 01:49:56.640 --> 01:49:59.800 on two twenty five during rush hour for two and a half hours on a 1408 01:49:59.800 --> 01:50:01.680 front so they gave me a loaner car. So that's how I got a 1409 01:50:01.680 --> 01:50:08.079 loaner car for five months. I went back to visit my sister with my 1410 01:50:08.079 --> 01:50:12.359 granddaughter a couple of weeks ago, same area around the Royal Gorge area. 1411 01:50:13.000 --> 01:50:16.279 My check engine light came back on the same area. Avoid that area. 1412 01:50:17.000 --> 01:50:20.159 I know. I was really nervous too, and we were joking about being 1413 01:50:20.199 --> 01:50:26.279 getting broken down to we we shouldn't have done that either, But hold on, 1414 01:50:26.439 --> 01:50:30.800 how many miles on the new engine? Well they it's still they never 1415 01:50:31.359 --> 01:50:34.960 you said they replaced it. You said they replaced it. Yeah, so 1416 01:50:35.000 --> 01:50:39.800 they kept it at the I'm got about fifty seven thousand miles totally. When 1417 01:50:39.800 --> 01:50:45.880 it went into the UH in September is around fifty one thousand miles. No, 1418 01:50:45.880 --> 01:50:48.520 No, I'm asking the new ende. She's got about six thousand on 1419 01:50:48.560 --> 01:50:51.479 it. Okay, okay, yeah, all right, good, So you 1420 01:50:51.600 --> 01:50:56.720 got a brand new engine in that thing, So what's going on? Okay? 1421 01:50:56.840 --> 01:51:00.039 So then I get it back and I and I'm made an appointment because 1422 01:51:00.119 --> 01:51:03.640 I'm I have one car. My daughter's out of town. I'm using her 1423 01:51:03.720 --> 01:51:08.520 car. I take it to Planet Hyundai finally, because I'm just I need 1424 01:51:08.520 --> 01:51:13.399 to find somewhere away from this area I live in Aurora. Planet has been 1425 01:51:13.479 --> 01:51:16.640 amazing. They have found they found three things wrong with it and then finally 1426 01:51:16.680 --> 01:51:20.560 a fourth thing wrong with it from the installation of the other thing. That's 1427 01:51:20.600 --> 01:51:25.079 all been taken care of. Where do we stand? Where do we stand 1428 01:51:25.079 --> 01:51:31.239 today? Susan. I'm waiting for it to get the last exhaust mount done, 1429 01:51:31.319 --> 01:51:36.319 and I'm expecting it today. But my problem is with Corporate Hyundai because 1430 01:51:36.359 --> 01:51:43.720 my case manager, I have a case two case numbers actually open with them. 1431 01:51:44.479 --> 01:51:48.239 They said I can get reimbursed for car payments or rental cars. They 1432 01:51:48.239 --> 01:51:51.199 said I can get reimbursed for both my toes. And that's what I'm looking 1433 01:51:51.239 --> 01:51:58.199 for. And because the check engine light came on and the previous case manager 1434 01:51:58.279 --> 01:52:02.000 said they can't pay me it because it's opened again. Are still ongoing, 1435 01:52:02.039 --> 01:52:05.600 which it turned out to be the same thing. But I've asked to talk 1436 01:52:05.640 --> 01:52:09.800 to a supervisor. I can't get a hold of anything. Okay, hold 1437 01:52:09.880 --> 01:52:12.079 on, I think I think, hold on, hold on, I got 1438 01:52:12.079 --> 01:52:14.560 to take this. Hold on, We'll come right back to you. I 1439 01:52:14.560 --> 01:52:17.520 think we can sum this up pretty quickly and maybe make some phone calls. 1440 01:52:19.560 --> 01:52:25.600 I'm talking to Joseph Canna right now, a certified financial planner, and we're 1441 01:52:25.640 --> 01:52:32.239 talking about the guaranteed pension annuity that he thinks is great for you for retirement, 1442 01:52:32.279 --> 01:52:36.279 and so do many other people who have him. And you know, 1443 01:52:36.760 --> 01:52:41.560 I'm going to full transparency. I bought one myself. Deputy doc has one, 1444 01:52:41.720 --> 01:52:45.680 and there's a place I believe in everyone's portfolio for a portion of this. 1445 01:52:47.039 --> 01:52:50.479 And Joe, what do you like about it? Or no? Jordan, 1446 01:52:50.600 --> 01:52:55.600 I'm sorry? Is Jordan's his son? Both, Jase. It happens 1447 01:52:55.600 --> 01:52:59.800 all the time. But the point of it is is mailbox money. You 1448 01:52:59.840 --> 01:53:02.560 know this, If you adopt knows this, you have money that comes in 1449 01:53:02.640 --> 01:53:05.319 every month, month in, month out, and you don't have to worry 1450 01:53:05.319 --> 01:53:10.119 about that stream of income running out unlike a regular four one K, unlike 1451 01:53:10.199 --> 01:53:13.319 stocks, bonds and regular iras. You know, that is the fear is 1452 01:53:13.520 --> 01:53:15.279 did I save enough money or will this pay me for the rest of my 1453 01:53:15.319 --> 01:53:19.239 life? With our guarantee pension account, that gets that fear way income for 1454 01:53:19.399 --> 01:53:23.319 life. And if there's anything left over, you say it best, they'll 1455 01:53:23.399 --> 01:53:25.279 leave it on the table, right, it goes to your family, that's 1456 01:53:25.359 --> 01:53:29.800 right. And one of these things we want to talk about is they can 1457 01:53:29.840 --> 01:53:33.199 do it at a younger age and contribute to it for for over the years, 1458 01:53:33.680 --> 01:53:38.680 or they can convert maybe a lump sum of money they have or inherited. 1459 01:53:39.760 --> 01:53:42.479 Correct. Yeah, and any retirement accounts. I've been seeing a lot 1460 01:53:42.520 --> 01:53:45.319 more younger people starting retirement accounts earlier because we're seeing parents, We're seeing the 1461 01:53:45.640 --> 01:53:48.479 solid security dilemmas that's going to be coming up. You know. These is 1462 01:53:48.520 --> 01:53:51.279 why if you have any four one K from old employers, if you have 1463 01:53:51.279 --> 01:53:55.880 any iras and inheritance, like you said, get that money still earning some 1464 01:53:55.960 --> 01:54:00.319 growth in the market booth, get protection from the losses. And that's what 1465 01:54:00.319 --> 01:54:02.319 this guarantee pension account does. Yeah, and when we say guarantees by the 1466 01:54:02.319 --> 01:54:05.359 way, it's guaranteed not to lose any principle, guaranteed not to lose any 1467 01:54:05.439 --> 01:54:12.159 gain along the way, and then guaranteed income three all three seven seven nine 1468 01:54:12.239 --> 01:54:16.359 sixty six hundred three all three seven seven nine sixty six zero zero My Money, 1469 01:54:16.720 --> 01:54:24.479 Myway dot com. Hey, And speaking of retirement type of stuff, 1470 01:54:24.840 --> 01:54:29.239 what about estate planning? Do you have an estate plan, a will, 1471 01:54:29.319 --> 01:54:31.399 a trust, maybe a combination of those, or maybe you want to do 1472 01:54:31.439 --> 01:54:34.439 that. How do you want to pass on what you own? What you 1473 01:54:34.479 --> 01:54:39.960 have, your investments, your collectibles, you're even some maybe motor vehicles or 1474 01:54:40.279 --> 01:54:44.239 how what do you want to do with your business? Kiel and Park handles 1475 01:54:44.279 --> 01:54:47.000 this kind of law a state planning, And here's how Kiel and Park does 1476 01:54:47.000 --> 01:54:50.439 it, and I love the way they do it. Keel and Park. 1477 01:54:51.479 --> 01:54:56.119 What they do is take a look at everything you have, free of charge, 1478 01:54:56.159 --> 01:55:00.840 your entire estate, and then they put together a plan and some recommendations 1479 01:55:00.199 --> 01:55:04.000 and give you a flat rate price on implementing it. You can do as 1480 01:55:04.079 --> 01:55:09.000 much or as little as you want, but it's all complimentary to find out 1481 01:55:09.000 --> 01:55:15.439 what you need. Nine seven zero eight one eight eight one nine eight law 1482 01:55:15.520 --> 01:55:31.920 KP dot com Hi, Tom Martine, you're a troubleshooter three all three seven 1483 01:55:32.000 --> 01:55:35.399 one three talk three oh three seven one three eight two five five. So 1484 01:55:35.520 --> 01:55:39.119 I think it boils down to this suason. A lot of times when people 1485 01:55:39.119 --> 01:55:43.960 have warranty work done, they are sometimes reimburse consequential expenses. Is that really 1486 01:55:44.039 --> 01:55:46.399 what we're talking about? It all boils down to that your car's being fixed, 1487 01:55:46.399 --> 01:55:50.399 but you're not getting reimbursed. Is that right? Correct? I have 1488 01:55:50.560 --> 01:55:56.520 two toes and I was told that I need to get reimbursed from and I 1489 01:55:56.560 --> 01:56:00.600 was told for that by a Hyundai roadside that they would reimburse probably. Well, 1490 01:56:00.600 --> 01:56:02.119 they're pretty good people. But I want to know is how much? 1491 01:56:04.760 --> 01:56:12.680 How much is the uh the whole total? Oh that's a good question, 1492 01:56:12.680 --> 01:56:17.199 because I do can't do it in my head really fast. Reason. I 1493 01:56:17.239 --> 01:56:24.840 mean just roughly, so five eighty two forty for toes and five months of 1494 01:56:24.920 --> 01:56:30.199 three hundred and twenty five car payments. That about twenty five hundred doc did 1495 01:56:30.439 --> 01:56:34.640 instantly. Okay, And what's the last word you heard about that? Did 1496 01:56:34.640 --> 01:56:41.760 you submit a spreadsheet? Uh? No, but I submitted the required documents 1497 01:56:41.800 --> 01:56:44.960 through Hyundai Corporate, through the case manager. And what did they say, 1498 01:56:45.159 --> 01:56:51.199 well, last I spoke to the last they were going to look at it, 1499 01:56:51.319 --> 01:56:57.159 and then they said they had to wait until the car's finished where it's 1500 01:56:57.159 --> 01:57:01.319 at currently, which I totally understand. I got a call from uh Anika 1501 01:57:03.079 --> 01:57:09.600 earlier this week and she was she just was, she was not very very 1502 01:57:09.600 --> 01:57:14.079 friendly at all, and well, did they say they would pay it? 1503 01:57:14.119 --> 01:57:16.319 What did they say about it? Well, she told me that I was 1504 01:57:16.359 --> 01:57:19.520 finishing that they were going to close this out, and she was talking about 1505 01:57:19.520 --> 01:57:23.960 one rental and I'm like, well, that's not the whole story. So 1506 01:57:24.039 --> 01:57:28.760 did she say to submit it to me? No, she just she just 1507 01:57:28.800 --> 01:57:31.199 said she called me back on Friday, and she hasn't yet to call me 1508 01:57:31.239 --> 01:57:34.439 back. I called the next day to talk to a supervisor, a different 1509 01:57:34.439 --> 01:57:38.159 case manager, and they told me they called me went back within twenty four 1510 01:57:38.199 --> 01:57:41.920 hours, and they haven't done that. Yesterday at noon was twenty four hours. 1511 01:57:43.960 --> 01:57:48.159 And then I called where my car's at and they still are working on 1512 01:57:48.239 --> 01:57:51.920 it. So I don't know where she got that the car was completed. 1513 01:57:54.039 --> 01:57:56.760 I just want to make sure that they don't give me a run around. 1514 01:57:56.840 --> 01:57:59.640 I need to know where things stand. I don't know where anything stands as 1515 01:57:59.640 --> 01:58:02.720 far as getting reimbursed. Okay, do you have one contact right now there? 1516 01:58:04.840 --> 01:58:11.119 Yeah? When you call him, you call this person your case worker. 1517 01:58:11.760 --> 01:58:15.000 Is it the same one you have case manager? No, I've had 1518 01:58:15.039 --> 01:58:19.560 three. So your latest case case manager. You have a name and a 1519 01:58:19.560 --> 01:58:26.800 phone number I have? Yes? I yes. And if you call that 1520 01:58:26.880 --> 01:58:32.319 latest case manager and say two things, One when can I expect reimbursement? 1521 01:58:33.359 --> 01:58:38.119 And two do you understand my car is still being worked on? What will 1522 01:58:38.159 --> 01:58:43.840 they say? I haven't. I was waiting for her to call me today 1523 01:58:44.039 --> 01:58:46.000 and she hasn't called me yet, and personally, I really don't want to 1524 01:58:46.039 --> 01:58:50.560 speak to her because she's very confident and this her is not your case manager, 1525 01:58:50.640 --> 01:58:54.399 right, Yes, it is my case manager. Oh, I thought 1526 01:58:54.399 --> 01:58:58.880 you said him. I'm sorry, or speak to her? I know. 1527 01:58:59.119 --> 01:59:04.079 So Annaka called me earlier this week I think it was Tuesday, and said 1528 01:59:04.119 --> 01:59:09.399 my car's done. But she wouldn't answer any of my questions, and I 1529 01:59:09.439 --> 01:59:13.560 felt like I was trying to get the run around of some sort. And 1530 01:59:13.600 --> 01:59:15.840 I said, listen, all right, I don't want to talk to you, 1531 01:59:15.880 --> 01:59:17.720 she said. I said, can I talk to someone else? She 1532 01:59:17.760 --> 01:59:20.319 said, there's no one else in this company that I can talk to other 1533 01:59:20.439 --> 01:59:26.079 than her. I tried the next day to call another case manager see if 1534 01:59:26.079 --> 01:59:28.720 they can help me. They said, absolutely not the only person in coffee. 1535 01:59:28.800 --> 01:59:30.600 No, that's okay, that's okay. I mean, I just don't 1536 01:59:30.600 --> 01:59:33.439 know why you're not getting answers, like when you say, just flat out 1537 01:59:33.880 --> 01:59:40.840 what about this expense or this expense? What does she say? The first 1538 01:59:40.840 --> 01:59:44.840 time we've talked together to each other, it was not good. She wouldn't 1539 01:59:44.880 --> 01:59:47.359 tell me anything other than the fact that But did she say we're not paying 1540 01:59:47.399 --> 01:59:53.359 those expenses? No, Hey, Susan, got make a suggestion. Why 1541 01:59:53.359 --> 01:59:57.000 don't you see if she has an email? So you have something in writing? 1542 01:59:57.960 --> 02:00:00.800 And you know, yeah, by the way, she does she have 1543 02:00:00.840 --> 02:00:05.880 an email? Probably, I don't know what it is. I only talked 1544 02:00:05.920 --> 02:00:09.720 to her once I called them. And how did you submit her? How 1545 02:00:09.720 --> 02:00:17.720 did you submit the expenses you have via email? Through the guidance to Hyundai, 1546 02:00:18.000 --> 02:00:21.800 through the guidance of the instructions of my very first case manager told me 1547 02:00:21.840 --> 02:00:26.560 what to do once once I got the information. So you submitted all of 1548 02:00:26.600 --> 02:00:30.159 that so far already? Yes. Then the second case manager called me and 1549 02:00:30.239 --> 02:00:33.640 said, we don't have these attachments. I said, really, because I 1550 02:00:33.680 --> 02:00:36.720 thought I attached them, and she goes, oh, I need to check 1551 02:00:36.760 --> 02:00:41.560 again and i'll let you know. Well, then last Friday, when I 1552 02:00:41.600 --> 02:00:44.560 found out I had more problems, it was the last time I talked to 1553 02:00:44.600 --> 02:00:46.399 myself. Okay, so right now you don't really know what they have and 1554 02:00:46.399 --> 02:00:50.760 what they done. I don't know what's yeah, and I don't know technically 1555 02:00:50.800 --> 02:00:55.920 my car's not been closed out yet either. Maybe that's why she's not calling 1556 02:00:55.960 --> 02:00:58.800 me back or answering I won't. I don't want to talk to her, 1557 02:00:59.279 --> 02:01:01.760 Okay, I just want to talk to someone else. But but she is 1558 02:01:01.800 --> 02:01:08.279 your case manager. Yeah, I guess I would. Wait. You know, 1559 02:01:08.600 --> 02:01:10.880 she's like she said, they can't do anything until the car is done 1560 02:01:10.920 --> 02:01:14.479 and delivered. So once the car is delivered, and then if it goes 1561 02:01:14.479 --> 02:01:16.560 a week without any kind of information, then I would start to say, 1562 02:01:16.640 --> 02:01:25.239 so, when is the car is going to be done? Hopefully today? 1563 02:01:25.479 --> 02:01:29.560 Okay? Well no, they said they anticipated the part to come in yesterday 1564 02:01:29.760 --> 02:01:32.920 and it should be done today. I sent a text approximately forty five minutes 1565 02:01:32.920 --> 02:01:36.239 ago just saying, hey, I'm just saying just to get my car back. 1566 02:01:36.279 --> 02:01:42.079 I just wonder where it stands and I did get an unknown caller while 1567 02:01:42.119 --> 02:01:44.479 I was on hold. I don't know if that was them or not or 1568 02:01:44.479 --> 02:01:48.479 anybody, but I didn't answer it. Here's what I want you to do. 1569 02:01:49.079 --> 02:01:53.199 I'm going to mark this down right now here. Here's really I think 1570 02:01:53.199 --> 02:01:56.760 what Kevin said is so logical. I think what we need to do is 1571 02:01:56.840 --> 02:02:02.520 this, you're looking, let's get your make sure your car's done. What 1572 02:02:02.640 --> 02:02:05.319 if you have a call back once she gets the car. That's exactly what 1573 02:02:05.359 --> 02:02:09.680 we're gonna do. I'm gonna mark this pending here. And what I'm saying 1574 02:02:09.840 --> 02:02:17.079 is get your car and then and then organize your expenses so we can see 1575 02:02:17.079 --> 02:02:21.000 exactly what it is and then will help you. We'll call for you. 1576 02:02:20.800 --> 02:02:25.119 You know, we've had good luck with Hyundai. I don't think you're going 1577 02:02:25.199 --> 02:02:29.359 to have a problem. I really don't unless there were some ridiculous expenses you're 1578 02:02:29.399 --> 02:02:33.159 trying to get and it doesn't sound like no. And maybe possibly one other 1579 02:02:33.359 --> 02:02:36.920 Uber and that I had to take last weekend because I had no car for 1580 02:02:38.000 --> 02:02:42.640 the entire weekend. And then what do they say about Uber? Usually they 1581 02:02:42.680 --> 02:02:46.960 say a rental car or a car payment, not both. That's the thing 1582 02:02:47.079 --> 02:02:50.840 but this is a whole difference. That's my other question, and I guess 1583 02:02:50.840 --> 02:02:54.640 I can. And by the way, just so you know, I know 1584 02:02:54.760 --> 02:02:58.600 this, you're not going to get both the car payment and your rental. 1585 02:02:59.640 --> 02:03:01.720 Even know the car payment was a long time ago and now this is kind 1586 02:03:01.720 --> 02:03:04.840 of the same. But you're going to only get You're going to get one 1587 02:03:04.920 --> 02:03:08.439 or the other. If you were renting a car, they're going to pay 1588 02:03:08.439 --> 02:03:13.199 for your rental. Okay, if you were. My car payments are higher 1589 02:03:13.199 --> 02:03:17.399 than any ubers and rentals that I put out currently, so that's like those 1590 02:03:17.439 --> 02:03:24.119 the car payments. Okay, so you're not charging for the rentals, No, 1591 02:03:24.279 --> 02:03:26.680 I did pay. You can't have both, is what I'm saying. 1592 02:03:27.039 --> 02:03:29.960 If they pay for it, if they pay your car payment, you have 1593 02:03:30.000 --> 02:03:32.960 to pay everything else. If they pay your rental and your Uber, then 1594 02:03:33.079 --> 02:03:38.079 then they pay your rental and your Uber. That you might be confusing them. 1595 02:03:38.079 --> 02:03:41.760 They're not going to pay for everything. I understand that, but that 1596 02:03:41.920 --> 02:03:45.479 was I'm thinking it as two separate issues, which turned into be a continuous 1597 02:03:45.520 --> 02:03:50.039 issue. Right. I thought this was a completely separate issue. But they 1598 02:03:50.119 --> 02:03:55.079 still only pay one or the other. Okay, So then and then my 1599 02:03:55.159 --> 02:03:59.840 question for you, is do I attack on another another car payment because I've 1600 02:04:00.039 --> 02:04:01.720 been out of the car for two weeks, or do I know you have 1601 02:04:02.119 --> 02:04:06.319 for whatever time you're without the car. If you're without the car for a 1602 02:04:06.439 --> 02:04:11.800 full month, that month's car payment. If you're without the car for two 1603 02:04:11.840 --> 02:04:15.000 weeks. I don't know if they would partial it. I don't know how 1604 02:04:15.000 --> 02:04:17.439 they can't. I don't know. But you don't take okay, you don't 1605 02:04:17.439 --> 02:04:21.840 take the whole month. And I get I understand that. I'm just saying. 1606 02:04:23.079 --> 02:04:26.680 And by the way, Hyundai's probably the only one that does consequential damages. 1607 02:04:26.760 --> 02:04:31.920 So I loved Hyundai, and I just I've not had this car has 1608 02:04:31.960 --> 02:04:35.720 not been good for me because on top of all this, my anxiety of 1609 02:04:35.760 --> 02:04:41.840 it getting stolen, my previous car getting stolen, and all the break ins 1610 02:04:41.840 --> 02:04:45.159 that it happens on this car has not been good either. So are you 1611 02:04:45.199 --> 02:04:50.399 going to go for your car payment? Yeah? Okay, all right, 1612 02:04:50.479 --> 02:04:55.359 listen, call us back. I got all my notes here. Call us 1613 02:04:55.399 --> 02:04:59.159 back and we'll I have all our notes here three h three seven to one 1614 02:04:59.199 --> 02:05:03.239 to three talks one three eight two five five. So, guys, I 1615 02:05:03.239 --> 02:05:05.880 don't know of any other manufacturer I don't know if you guys do. Do 1616 02:05:05.920 --> 02:05:10.359 you know of any other manufacturers that pay expenses? No, not at all, 1617 02:05:10.840 --> 02:05:13.680 the ones on more else. Yeah, I've never heard of such a 1618 02:05:13.720 --> 02:05:16.199 thing. And they haven't really given people a hard time unless they try to 1619 02:05:16.239 --> 02:05:19.239 milk it. I do know. They don't like paying for ride share. 1620 02:05:19.560 --> 02:05:23.680 They'd rather you rent a car, I guess, unless it's going to be 1621 02:05:23.680 --> 02:05:27.199 a day or so, but or a car payment. But you don't get 1622 02:05:27.239 --> 02:05:29.880 all three. Okay, you're gonna get one or the other. Uh, 1623 02:05:30.079 --> 02:05:31.560 you're you're not going to get all three. You can't pile them up. 1624 02:05:31.840 --> 02:05:34.840 You don't get the car payment. And then they pay for your rental. 1625 02:05:35.159 --> 02:05:39.720 They'll they'll pay for your rental if it's reasonable, or your car payment. 1626 02:05:39.760 --> 02:05:42.840 In fact, I think they can pay whichever is less. I mean, 1627 02:05:42.880 --> 02:05:45.800 I really do. But again I don't have that in front of me. 1628 02:05:45.840 --> 02:05:57.880 It's been a while since I actually read the terms and conditions. Hello Tom 1629 02:05:57.880 --> 02:06:01.319 Martino here in three oh three seven to one three talk three h three seven 1630 02:06:01.319 --> 02:06:09.680 to one three eight two five five. So a word about warranties with everything 1631 02:06:10.439 --> 02:06:13.399 everything, no matter where it is, what it is, most of the 1632 02:06:13.439 --> 02:06:15.520 time, warranties will not pay for loss of use. Most of the time, 1633 02:06:15.560 --> 02:06:20.439 warranties won't pay for any kind of consequential expenses as a result of loss 1634 02:06:20.479 --> 02:06:27.640 of use. Lately, that's been a big problem too, because insurance won't 1635 02:06:27.640 --> 02:06:31.640 pay for it either unless it was a car accident. And the biggest problem, 1636 02:06:31.720 --> 02:06:36.000 guys, I think we can admit over the last year or so, 1637 02:06:38.119 --> 02:06:43.000 has been the length of time it takes your cars fixed. It's the length 1638 02:06:43.039 --> 02:06:48.600 of time the lack of available parts. I don't understand. What can we 1639 02:06:48.720 --> 02:06:53.319 still blame COVID for goodness? I think a lot of the companies actually learned 1640 02:06:53.319 --> 02:06:56.000 that they don't have to inventory in order to keep you money. Yeah, 1641 02:06:56.000 --> 02:06:59.479 they can still make same money by having the long goo. They're not paying 1642 02:06:59.479 --> 02:07:01.760 taxes at all. This inventory they're holding on to. We can bring it 1643 02:07:01.800 --> 02:07:04.960 in from Sacramento, we can bring it in from Cleveland. We've still got 1644 02:07:04.920 --> 02:07:09.439 it. So what you're saying is they learned that they're going to make the 1645 02:07:09.479 --> 02:07:13.319 same spread and it might just take a little longer. But once that pipeline 1646 02:07:13.359 --> 02:07:15.479 is filled, they well, the pipeline is what it is now. They're 1647 02:07:15.520 --> 02:07:18.159 not going to fix it. No, I mean once it's filled, meaning 1648 02:07:18.399 --> 02:07:20.720 if there's a two week delay, there's a two week delay. If there's 1649 02:07:20.760 --> 02:07:24.760 two months, there's two months. But they keep orders coming in and people 1650 02:07:24.760 --> 02:07:29.239 are still making money and people are becoming more accustomed to it. I mean 1651 02:07:29.319 --> 02:07:35.359 it's almost impossible even normal service at a dealer. At a dealer, sometimes 1652 02:07:35.560 --> 02:07:40.239 they won't even schedule you in unless they know what parts they need yep. 1653 02:07:41.520 --> 02:07:45.039 Or they have one session where they look at your car. And unless it's 1654 02:07:45.079 --> 02:07:48.319 just normal like the grease and lube and all that and the oil change, 1655 02:07:48.479 --> 02:07:51.800 but if it's something else, sometimes they want to look at the car and 1656 02:07:51.840 --> 02:07:55.960 then they say, look, you can drive it until we can fix it. 1657 02:07:56.239 --> 02:08:00.920 Yeah, until the pot's coming. Much more if you can drive it. 1658 02:08:01.359 --> 02:08:03.840 Have you guys ever had people do that? Oh? Sure, where 1659 02:08:03.880 --> 02:08:07.880 you'd order a part and then let them take the car until you're done. 1660 02:08:07.920 --> 02:08:11.279 A lot of times we can't do that because we have to disassembly. Yeah, 1661 02:08:11.359 --> 02:08:15.159 oh good. What kills us is we've got a car now stranded on 1662 02:08:15.199 --> 02:08:18.399 the lift for a week, so we're not right, you can't. You 1663 02:08:18.399 --> 02:08:20.600 can take it off the lift and put it in your car. No, 1664 02:08:20.640 --> 02:08:22.319 if it's give a lot of front wheel drives, you're pulling the whole subframe, 1665 02:08:22.359 --> 02:08:24.600 cradle out of there. You must have spend four or five hours. 1666 02:08:24.640 --> 02:08:28.279 What are the worst parts to get right now? You know it's hit and 1667 02:08:28.319 --> 02:08:33.279 miss because it's not all the same stuff. Brakes and belts and hoses, 1668 02:08:33.319 --> 02:08:35.520 all regular right, all good stuff, spark plugs, wires all that. 1669 02:08:35.840 --> 02:08:41.079 Yeah, we generally have more problems with Toyota parts in particular. But you 1670 02:08:41.119 --> 02:08:43.680 know, for example, Deputy Dollar, I've got his son's car in my 1671 02:08:43.680 --> 02:08:46.439 shop right now. It's just a simple seal, but it's dealer specific. 1672 02:08:46.840 --> 02:08:50.359 I ordered it a week ago. I still got his car a seal, 1673 02:08:50.560 --> 02:08:52.520 a seal, and so the car has to sit there until it's done. 1674 02:08:52.640 --> 02:08:58.520 I can't take it apart. I can't strand the lift man. That stuff's 1675 02:08:58.560 --> 02:09:01.479 been an insurance on the other end forever. Because of COVID, they don't 1676 02:09:01.479 --> 02:09:05.359 have adjusters that come out anymore. Everything's over the phone. Anything. What 1677 02:09:05.399 --> 02:09:09.319 would you have that's insurance related? Hit curbs, oh, things of that 1678 02:09:09.399 --> 02:09:11.239 sort with you, you know, chassis frame, that's that kind of work. 1679 02:09:11.520 --> 02:09:20.079 Okay. Somebody wants to know here about parasitic drag. That's meaning the 1680 02:09:20.119 --> 02:09:28.640 batteries are draining. What are these people go away in the winter. What 1681 02:09:28.840 --> 02:09:33.800 do they need for their battery? Battery tender and that won't overcook it or 1682 02:09:33.840 --> 02:09:37.239 anything. No, they're very specific and they're electronic now, so they're really 1683 02:09:37.319 --> 02:09:41.119 accurate. Right. You can put it a two as it'll turn itself off 1684 02:09:41.159 --> 02:09:45.920 and on and yeah, and you just tender it because if you're going to 1685 02:09:46.000 --> 02:09:48.399 be gone for two months or three months, you're you're going to have a 1686 02:09:48.399 --> 02:09:52.199 problem or disconnect the battery. Huh. I never thought of that. Well, 1687 02:09:52.239 --> 02:09:54.600 what's what's the downside to that? Well, you can have issues with 1688 02:09:54.800 --> 02:10:00.319 arcing taking it off and putting it on, but once it's disconnected, nothing 1689 02:10:00.359 --> 02:10:03.039 will drain that. No, there's nothing to drain it, nothing that you 1690 02:10:03.600 --> 02:10:07.600 there's nothing that you need to leave. It's not connected anything. No. 1691 02:10:07.640 --> 02:10:11.079 But what I mean is is there anything you would need? I guess not. 1692 02:10:11.239 --> 02:10:15.880 You would just reset your clocks and although nowadays aren't they all set by 1693 02:10:15.920 --> 02:10:20.439 GPS, a lot of them are automatic that decides to disconnect this battery. 1694 02:10:20.520 --> 02:10:24.640 Just please make sure it's the negative. Yes, yeah, that can be 1695 02:10:24.680 --> 02:10:30.079 a big problem. And do you have you seen the new jumper cables that 1696 02:10:30.119 --> 02:10:33.840 you can hook up any side to any sign. Okay, they're pretty cool. 1697 02:10:35.159 --> 02:10:39.920 So does not color coded nothing. You just go two and you go 1698 02:10:39.960 --> 02:10:43.800 two, and it automatically senses what it should be and flip flops. They 1699 02:10:43.800 --> 02:10:48.800 go through a center, a center a circuit board. Right, so it's 1700 02:10:48.840 --> 02:10:52.640 like a round thing and the round thing has two cables coming out the left 1701 02:10:52.640 --> 02:10:54.920 and two cables coming out the right, right long one. So you just 1702 02:10:54.960 --> 02:11:01.840 hook them up and they search polarity and pick the right one instantly without hurting 1703 02:11:01.840 --> 02:11:03.880 anything. Well and similar to keeping jumper cables in your car in case of 1704 02:11:03.880 --> 02:11:09.119 emergency. I mean now they actually have small boxes that you can charge up 1705 02:11:09.119 --> 02:11:13.439 at home like a cell phone, like a charging block. Yeah, but 1706 02:11:13.439 --> 02:11:16.000 it will actually jump start your car. Oh cool? So but but so 1707 02:11:16.079 --> 02:11:20.199 that has cables on it, cables on it, yep. So okay, 1708 02:11:20.239 --> 02:11:24.680 so it's a it's a charger, yes, well a jumper and they make 1709 02:11:24.760 --> 02:11:26.279 larger ones for diesel pickups. But you know, you know you can. 1710 02:11:26.640 --> 02:11:31.079 So how do you keep that charged like it is a cigarette lighter or the 1711 02:11:31.279 --> 02:11:33.880 twelve O port Yeah, or you know every six months, take it in 1712 02:11:33.920 --> 02:11:35.399 the house and plug it in around There are no cars that come with that. 1713 02:11:35.439 --> 02:11:39.680 Does something you buy after market? Yeah? I mean it's similar so 1714 02:11:39.720 --> 02:11:43.359 they don't leak like in my briefcase. I have a little uh cell phone 1715 02:11:43.399 --> 02:11:50.720 block for exact travel and we have more coming up.

I was told once that does more harmer in your car than cold. 1721 02:12:16.239 --> 02:12:18.560 Absolutely right, most definitely. So what do we do? Is there 1722 02:12:18.640 --> 02:12:22.199 anything people have to do or with most cars and we're not going to have 1723 02:12:22.239 --> 02:12:26.560 any problems? Well, no, I mean you want to make sure you 1724 02:12:26.600 --> 02:12:28.920 primarily your coolant. You want to make sure and you'd be surprised. I 1725 02:12:28.920 --> 02:12:33.159 guess how many people don't even think about cooler. And it's not even just 1726 02:12:33.199 --> 02:12:35.479 the level. It does deteriorate, it does break down, it does get 1727 02:12:35.479 --> 02:12:39.039 contaminated in it. So you do want to do flushes to make sure that 1728 02:12:39.039 --> 02:12:41.920 that cool is work. You want that coolant to be up to snuff, 1729 02:12:41.000 --> 02:12:45.920 so to speak. You want it and are those testers any good that you 1730 02:12:45.960 --> 02:12:48.640 put in the expansion take a pull out. It's just a gravity. Yeah, 1731 02:12:48.640 --> 02:12:50.560 you don't think it good, it's a start. Yeah, okay, 1732 02:12:50.600 --> 02:12:54.119 you want to check PAHs, you want to take a lot of different things. 1733 02:12:54.439 --> 02:12:56.399 But it's also you want airflow, so the fans have got to be 1734 02:12:56.439 --> 02:13:01.119 working. You know, you got is it? Does it take it to 1735 02:13:01.119 --> 02:13:05.600 all? What else in addition to cool and how about hoses and belts? 1736 02:13:05.720 --> 02:13:07.880 Yes, definitely yeah, in any little leaks, yeah, it's usually just 1737 02:13:07.920 --> 02:13:11.359 a little squeeze. Make sure they're not getting sponge of soft you don't se 1738 02:13:11.359 --> 02:13:16.079 any bubbles? Okay? And then is there any visual you can do on 1739 02:13:16.199 --> 02:13:18.840 hoses or belt like isn't there a fabric or like cord you can see in 1740 02:13:18.880 --> 02:13:22.079 a belt or not seeing that it's way too far gone, I'm way too 1741 02:13:22.159 --> 02:13:26.479 okay. Yeah, but but you want to You don't want any visible cracks 1742 02:13:26.479 --> 02:13:28.199 either, do you on those? No? Definitely not. So you also 1743 02:13:28.199 --> 02:13:31.279 want to make sure you don't see any areas that are bulging so where we're 1744 02:13:31.359 --> 02:13:37.159 okay, like an aneurysm. Seriously really so hoses can do that? Sure, 1745 02:13:37.439 --> 02:13:41.000 any stains where you may have somebody who texted and wanted to know, 1746 02:13:41.199 --> 02:13:46.399 is vapor locks still a thing? No? No, why is that because 1747 02:13:46.399 --> 02:13:50.239 of the high pressure fuel systems. So most of the older cars that had 1748 02:13:50.279 --> 02:13:52.760 it, what we would do is put a high pressure electric pump on it, 1749 02:13:54.199 --> 02:13:58.800 over pump the vapor. Okay, so now we have all this high 1750 02:13:58.880 --> 02:14:01.880 pressure. So yeah, it's it's not an issue. And then if somebody 1751 02:14:01.920 --> 02:14:07.239 else wants to know, does your car perform better with certain fuels during heat 1752 02:14:07.560 --> 02:14:11.439 or it may not matter? Too much? Alcohol will be a problem with 1753 02:14:11.479 --> 02:14:16.520 too much heat, Yes, because it evaporates. Yes, just the higher 1754 02:14:16.520 --> 02:14:22.680 flashpoint or you get less performance, or you get no driveability and less performance. 1755 02:14:22.760 --> 02:14:26.319 Yes, but don't they alter those fuels in the hot weather and only 1756 02:14:26.319 --> 02:14:31.439 they're only in the winter. Yes, But how do you know? Okay? 1757 02:14:31.000 --> 02:14:37.239 And what's the difference between MTB and alcohol and ethanol? What what do 1758 02:14:37.319 --> 02:14:43.039 they use in car? Do they still use mtbe? That was an additive, 1759 02:14:43.199 --> 02:14:48.439 That was an additive years ago? So right now is ethanol the main 1760 02:14:48.520 --> 02:14:50.880 deal right now? As far as additive? Pretty much? I think that's 1761 02:14:50.880 --> 02:14:54.279 what you do. Have a lot of stations out there now that do offer 1762 02:14:54.319 --> 02:14:58.640 ethanol fat free fuels that you can get, and the particularly I mean you 1763 02:14:58.760 --> 02:15:01.840 pay about the same, if not more than premium for it, but it 1764 02:15:03.640 --> 02:15:09.840 And one quick question somebody who has that Arizona question about the winter. Can 1765 02:15:09.880 --> 02:15:13.840 they keep fuel in the car the whole winter? Yes, no problem, 1766 02:15:13.279 --> 02:15:18.359 It'll be stable announcements all right. I'm Tom Martino.
