And 13 00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.560 if you prepared the cop properly, you have nothing to 14 00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:44.560 worry about. 15 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:48.439 Yeah, now, real quickly here, you know, put a little 16 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.200 shovel in the back of your car in case you 17 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:55.640 get stuck. I mean just the I mean blanket, uh 18 00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.079 scraper so you can scrape the window off rush or 19 00:00:59.159 --> 00:00:59.840 something like that. 20 00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:02.840 Oh rush, yeah, yep, you new. 21 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:03.880 Uh. 22 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:05.079 They will make sure you have. 23 00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:15.680 A phone charger with you. Yeah yet, so something real quick. 24 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.040 That's going to be super important, especially with the change 25 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.159 over and they say it's going to get brutally cold 26 00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.120 after whatever kind of we kind of precipitation we have 27 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:28.079 fallen tomorrow. Uh, take some get some silicone spray and 28 00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:32.239 spray down the seals of the doors where that that 29 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:35.799 rubber gasket that goes all around the door. Make sure 30 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:37.680 you take a put them on a face cloth or 31 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.680 paper towel and wipe those down. Is what's going to happen. 32 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:42.519 You get moisture in there and then we get that 33 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.079 freezing cold, those doors are gonna get really hard to open. 34 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.879 So that'll help you people from having problems from opening 35 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:54.280 their doors when that rain and whatever precipitation falls and freezes. 36 00:01:55.400 --> 00:02:00.439 Spray you can pick that up pretty much anywhere parts 37 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.760 drug store, right. 38 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:04.519 No, I don't know if drug stores have I know 39 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.680 most part stores will have them. 40 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:07.480 Buy way. 41 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:11.840 You can go to Row's home depot, auto zone. I'm 42 00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:14.840 not any any one of those places they are going 43 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:15.280 to have it. 44 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.719 Okay, all right, that's that's good advice. Six. 45 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.960 Yeah, Dan, I did get some answers for Gene during 46 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:26.680 our news break. 47 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:27.800 Oh let's hear them. 48 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.360 Go ahead, okay on her transmission fluid it is sixty 49 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:36.639 thousand miles six oh thousand just when they do a 50 00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:42.840 transmit Yeah, I mean that's just that's taking advantage on 51 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.800 the break fluid. It's a little bit sketchy. I see 52 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:54.120 many different readings that both Honda is saying that dealers 53 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.400 are saying. Basically, the general consensus is thirty six thousand miles. 54 00:02:59.680 --> 00:02:59.840 Now. 55 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.800 Now, break fluid real quick is hydroscopic, which means that 56 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:09.240 it does attract water. Most good shops will have a 57 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.639 tester to see how much water is in your break 58 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:16.800 fluid system. If you have minimal water, and if the 59 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:23.039 break fluid is a clear, translucent, pale yellow, you can 60 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.360 certainly keep going till thirty six thousand miles. I think 61 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.919 that they're wasting money by doing it early and just 62 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:35.319 creating work. I would not when I had my shop 63 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:41.360 do something that wasn't needed. So you know, if Gene 64 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.240 wants to take a right up to the shop, go 65 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.759 see Sergio up in my old shop, he can certainly 66 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.439 look at the break fluid, check on the water content, 67 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.840 and advise her whether she can go to the thirty 68 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:59.960 six thousand or not. But most I'm sorry to say, 69 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:00.400 go on. 70 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:05.479 I'm saying she only has seventeen thousand, so they're pushing 71 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:07.120 that on her a little bit. It seems to me. 72 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.199 Yeah, it seems to me like the make work. 73 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:14.599 Yeah, what here's my problem. 74 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.240 No, no, But with that being said that if you 75 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.040 figure out the average driver is gonna go between ten 76 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.759 and fifteen thousands of a year, so you should be 77 00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:26.759 on track. So it would normally make sense. So regardless 78 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.360 of the mileage. And let's just talk about this real quick. 79 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.199 You're talking about breakfood, just break flu. Really care how 80 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:33.920 many miles you put in the car. You have to 81 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.959 break get you more often, but it's that gonna necessarily 82 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.959 tract more moisture. It's still been in there for four 83 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.319 almost five years. Well that's why I said that a 84 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.399 that a moisture check has to be done burst. 85 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:50.079 So he could go either way. 86 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.920 So I mean sometimes, yes, a lot of shops do 87 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.120 try to oversell, but this could be valid. 88 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.439 All right, fair enough, let's get back to phones, gentlemen. 89 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.319 Gonna go to John and Drake. He's been holding the logs. John, 90 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:02.759 your next on Nightsiger, right ahead. 91 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.279 That's all right, Danny. These guys are great and I 92 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.600 really enjoy this is my first call call in on 93 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.600 this particular subject, and I really enjoy it. I'll tell 94 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.439 you I pick up some cars here and there, and 95 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:17.680 I always find something that's reasonably priced. So I picked 96 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.839 up an RX three hundred Lexus. Now the car has 97 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:25.360 two hundred and ten thousand miles on reasonable I think 98 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.360 because the fact that Lexuses do run pretty well. And 99 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.720 I had to do some work on the muffler system. 100 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:33.680 There was a hole in the muffler. I fixed that 101 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:38.040 up and we're quite frankly. Right after that, I found 102 00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:42.040 out that there three cataltic converters in this particular vehicle. 103 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.959 Now one of them up closer to the front end 104 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:49.680 to the radiator, has now failed. So now I'm thinking 105 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.800 about replacing it. I've gotten some prices on that, and 106 00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.120 the gentleman who I did get the price on for 107 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.839 it said that if you do replace that, you might 108 00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.279 run into other falls with the other two. So now 109 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.959 I'm a little reluctant on how much do I actually 110 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:08.560 spend to get this vehicle not to be as loud 111 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.680 as one of these hip hops that drive around the neighborhood. 112 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.399 So so I'm let's let's just take a step back. 113 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.079 So the reason why you're saying the catalytic converts failing 114 00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.079 is you probably have a code four thirty something like 115 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:23.360 that zero four thirty. 116 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.199 So yeah, it's really loud. I believe it as a 117 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:26.759 hole in it. 118 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.240 Okay, so we actually have a physical hole. 119 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.920 Right, you can hear it if I started it now 120 00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:33.720 and drove around it. 121 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:39.160 Well bad, okay. Well the reason, well, that's that's rare 122 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.199 because usually you don't get a lot of leaks off 123 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.680 of catalytic converters unless for some reasons that you know, 124 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:51.639 that particular area rusted quicker than that's not normal. Are 125 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:54.199 you sure it's about the flex pipe? That's a tap 126 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:54.959 to that pipe. 127 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.560 I just did that. As a matter of fact, the 128 00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.720 flex pipe. It's fine you say that flex pipe is 129 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.519 taken off. We ended up setting up a piece where 130 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.759 he made his own type of thing and he put 131 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.920 that back together. So the flex pipe was the first issue. 132 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.199 Then I went into a half moon. I called it 133 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:13.279 that another little hole in the pipe. I'm trying to 134 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.240 mickey mouse. I don't know why I did that, but 135 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.759 in any event, then all of a sudden, I take 136 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.600 off out of the shop. Two days later, I'm like, 137 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:32.120 oh no, nobody like yes, lay twenty eight hundred, make 138 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:33.120 it down again. 139 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:37.639 What was that sound again? And familiar? 140 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:40.879 That's the oldest kill from the book. But I have 141 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:44.240 to tell you that I'm reluctant to spend the money, 142 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.160 but I want to because the fact that this vehicle 143 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.120 was maintained. If you saw the receipts that I have 144 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:55.040 on this car, it's it's amazing what the gentleman did. 145 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:56.920 Have you gotten a price on one first? 146 00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.160 Yet he talked about sixteen hundred. 147 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.199 Which is which is about right now. I'm assuming sixteen hundred. 148 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.360 That sounds like it's probably an app that might be 149 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:08.800 an aftermar Is that after market? 150 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.600 No, No, I believe it's the genuine part. And the 151 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:16.079 part is close to five hundred dollars just for the cataletic. 152 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.439 That's actually cheap for some converters, because I've seen them 153 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:25.439 converts themselves go over two grand, right exactly, I know 154 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:29.560 you're getting oh installed for sixteen hundred. I think it's 155 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:32.080 a bargain. And I think if you love the car, 156 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.440 which it sounds like you do, and it's treated you well, 157 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.240 then you invest the money. 158 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:39.519 Right exactly. You know, I'm just reluctant to say like that. 159 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:41.879 He told me. Look, I mean, I'm going to do 160 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.080 the work for you, John, But guess what, you know, 161 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.200 we might run into some other problems with some O 162 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:47.799 two stances up the other one. 163 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:50.679 We gotta be careful, you might, but right now you 164 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.080 don't have that problem. So you deal with what you 165 00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:54.919 have in front of you, and the other one will 166 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.519 let you know when it's time for them to go. 167 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.639 And you know what you say, it been Nichols between 168 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:00.919 now and then, and be ready when the next one 169 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:01.879 does fail. 170 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:02.919 Right I do? 171 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.320 I do appreciate that. Yeah, And like I said, I mean, 172 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.720 this is the first Lexus I've jumped into. The last 173 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:10.440 one was an Avalon that I had, of course, before that, 174 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:14.240 I picked thee up on a short ride was the Volvo. 175 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:15.639 So I got out of that one quick. 176 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:21.360 You understand that Alexis is just the nice version of 177 00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:25.759 a Toyota. So you're just getting eighty super product with 178 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:27.679 with fancy bells and whistles. 179 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.960 I assumed. Yeah, exactly, like I said, maybe I can 180 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.200 run it for another eighty to one hundred maybe if 181 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:38.080 I maintain it and take my time with non maintenance. 182 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:40.919 So let me let me ask you guys the way 183 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:41.759 you shouldn't be able to. 184 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.840 No one asked Scott and Larry, how do you guys 185 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:53.159 feel about Lexus? Is generally compared to let's say, Vovos. Currently, Oh, head. 186 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:59.799 Over hills, Yeah, all day long over over the course 187 00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:02.399 of Tell me how much it cost you to maintain 188 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.639 your Volvo compared to how much that elects costure. 189 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:11.440 Yeah, Larry, look at Yeah. When I got the Vobo right, 190 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:16.000 the statu stated, skipping and nailing the flywheel brought it 191 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:19.399 into a guy replaced the flywheel the transmissions top. 192 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:20.120 It doesn't just. 193 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.840 Drop, it goes to like the left, and it's all 194 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.559 like tough to get out. And when he put that 195 00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:29.279 flywheel back and everything was misaligned, it screwed the whole 196 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.879 thing up on me. I just loved the Volvo, but 197 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.200 it just it wasn't right. The gentleman wasn't right putting 198 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:35.960 it back together. 199 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:40.480 All right, Thank you very much, John, Great call, great call. 200 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.000 You know, guys, I had a friend of mine yesterday 201 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.240 who was driving a car. It's an older car, and 202 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.120 he had lost power, steering fluid in the car. But 203 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.480 he continued to die in the car, and he told 204 00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:59.279 me that the steering wheel came off in his hands. 205 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:00.799 Have you ever heard heard that before? 206 00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:10.200 No one thing has nothing to do with the other, really, 207 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.759 unless I mean he just had a series of problems 208 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.519 if he lost his power steering, if he lost his fluid. 209 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.919 All right, so that is a pump or a hose 210 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:29.440 that has gone, but that that steering wheel is held 211 00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:33.200 in place onto the steering calumn by a pretty hefty nut. 212 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:37.240 One thing has nothing to do with the other. Are 213 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:38.799 you sure a steering wheel came off? 214 00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:43.960 Or are you no? I'm not no, no, no. I 215 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.759 I had seen him that morning and he said he 216 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.759 bought this car. He paid not a lot of money 217 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.559 for twelve hundred dollars, and he was complaining that that 218 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.279 the power fluid had leaked and he had a trouble. 219 00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.039 He troubled just steering it. But he called me late 220 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.639 in the day said the steering wheel was in his hand, 221 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:06.159 separated from Yeah, I mean, what do you do? Thank 222 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.759 god he wasn't on one twenty eight. Let's do this 223 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:12.000 job real quickly. We got to take a breaks. We'll 224 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.320 we get some lines here six one seven thirty six 225 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.360 one seven nine thirty dial will get you in. We'll 226 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.240 I get you on. Coming right back on nightside with 227 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.159 w BZ car guys Scott and Larry. 228 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:26.399 Now back to Dan Ray mine from the window World 229 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:29.200 night Side Studios on WBZ. 230 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:32.559 The news radio. Back to the back to the calls 231 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.600 we go. Let's go up to Ipswich north of Boston 232 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.360 and talk with Dean in Ipswich. Dan, you were next 233 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:40.039 on Nightside with the WBZ car guys. 234 00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:44.720 Go right ahead, Dan, Hi, great show. I wanted to 235 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:47.799 just mention I had have thirty five thousand. 236 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:49.240 I went in with my. 237 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:53.840 Toyota Corolla and they recommended the break fluid, which I 238 00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:56.120 was a little suspicious of. But it sounds that that's 239 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.279 probably about right right the twenty twenty Corola. 240 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:00.879 Correct how many? 241 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:02.600 How many miles are. 242 00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:08.159 At that time? It was thirty five thousand on it? Okay, yeah, okay, 243 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:10.480 it sounds like they got it right. 244 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:12.600 It was a little suspicious that made a push it 245 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:13.240 on me too early. 246 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:15.039 But so I say, what what is? What's a break 247 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:16.840 flu We're going to cost you twenty bucks? 248 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:21.360 No system flushing a couple hundred dollars. 249 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:23.200 Okay, fair enough? 250 00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:31.480 Said I got the background noise. 251 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:33.919 Yeah, we get to fear it's going on here, Rob, 252 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:34.559 what's going on? 253 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:35.799 Is it? 254 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:35.960 Me? 255 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:39.120 I don't know it's gone. 256 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:39.320 Now. 257 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:42.919 With that being said, a true break system service, break 258 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:46.519 fluid system service should start at the master cylinder. It 259 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.039 should flush the lines, it should flush the fluid in 260 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:52.679 the CalPERS. That's not just removing a little bit of fluid. 261 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.399 It's in the master to be done properly. It's a 262 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.200 good you know, probably about an hour's service in fresh 263 00:13:58.279 --> 00:13:59.080 and fresh fluid. 264 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.000 I have to look and by receipt, but it sounds 265 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.720 like that happened. And in terms of the overall breaks, 266 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:08.000 I've got forty five thousand on the car. Now, when 267 00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:12.279 should I be looking at what it's replacing or upgrading? 268 00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:16.320 Well, when you're did your service facility look at them 269 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:17.919 and tell you what the pad life was? 270 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:20.840 He probably he probably did. 271 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.639 Okay, so I will tell you that once you get 272 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.399 into like a fight, just you want to remember these numbers. 273 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.480 When you get to around five milimeter, that's when you're 274 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.679 into the yellow of the warning zone, we tell you uh. 275 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:37.399 And then when you get down in the two three area, 276 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.679 that's when you're pretty down closing. You know, depending on 277 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.639 your driving style, you'll probably get five thousand or less 278 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:49.200 miles to go at that point. Okay, it's hard to tell, 279 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:52.720 you know, you really can't tell somebody how quickly breaks 280 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.159 are going to wear just off mileage. And the reason 281 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.080 why is because every driver is a bit different. Somebody 282 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.240 that does a lot more highway driving is not going 283 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.519 to use as much breaks, and their breaks may last 284 00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:06.279 eighty to one hundred thousand plus. Somebody does a lot 285 00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:08.840 of stop and go traffic, they may go through breaks 286 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:11.960 in twenty five thousand and thirty thousand, you know. And 287 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.919 then in the way your driving style itself, if you're 288 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:18.480 a hard breaker, if you slow down, you know, it 289 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:21.639 really varies. But you sound like a service facility has 290 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:23.480 got you in the right way, and they should be 291 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:25.399 able to tell you what your path thickness is. 292 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:27.200 Okay. 293 00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:31.840 One other question is it I'm seventy four, I'm looking 294 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.600 I haven't retired yet. I've been working remote, but I'm 295 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.759 looking towards buying one more car. Is it going to 296 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:40.879 be practical in the next couple of years to buy 297 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:43.480 a gas powered vehicle or should I be thinking of 298 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:44.159 the other stuff? 299 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:50.639 No, I think that, and I think you're gas powered. Still, 300 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.600 the technology has gotten much better. They're becoming more economical. 301 00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:57.440 Larry and I have talked talking about it before. I 302 00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:59.279 happen to work for a dealership where we deal with 303 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:02.639 a lot of hybrid I'm not sold on them. I 304 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:05.279 do not think that long term they out of the future. 305 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.960 I know the current the new administration that's going to 306 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:12.639 be coming in is not pushing the mandates that were set. 307 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:16.159 So if it's going to be a last vehicle, I 308 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:18.559 think you should find what you loved and what you 309 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:21.200 enjoy driving in. I don't care if it's gas powered 310 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:23.279 or hybrid powered, and just go off of that. 311 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:24.799 Okay. 312 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.840 I think that's pretty solid advice there By the way, Dan, 313 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:31.159 because this is going to be a change in atmospheric 314 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:34.440 change in Washington come January twentieth, and a lot of 315 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:38.440 the the push that the Biden administration was pushing for 316 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:43.120 evs and electric charging stations, I don't know that they're 317 00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:45.320 gonna that's going to contain. I don't think it's going 318 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:47.679 to continue on the under Donald Trump's administration. 319 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:49.799 I believe it was already announced that it was not 320 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.720 going to continue. Yeah, I believe that was that was 321 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.039 part of his you know, one of the platforms he 322 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:55.519 ran on. 323 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:57.679 So I oh, yeah, no, I look at that. 324 00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:59.799 It's seventy four. I think what you want, drive with 325 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.240 want and and you know, enjoy enjoy it. 326 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:05.759 Okay, Dan, can I make one suggestion? 327 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:08.400 Sure, I'm in. 328 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:10.799 I've had a call for two weeks.

And this 346 00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:01.920 is an opportunity. I'll tell you. We have. We have 347 00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:04.319 two fills here, fill in Plymouth and fill in Boston. 348 00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:06.039 And I got some open line.

Sometimes 352 00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:19.160 I push people, but tonight I thought, you know, I 353 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.160 don't have the energy to push people. And I want 354 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:23.599 to give Larry Scott a chance to answer the questions. 355 00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:27.079 Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty one line 356 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.240 there and six one seven, nine three one ten thirty 357 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:33.319 two lines there, and we'll be back.

We'll be 359 00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:38.400 back with them and maybe with you as well as 360 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:42.440 we head towards the midnight hour. We're talking cars, automotive questions. 361 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.720 They are probably one of the most expensive things most 362 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.720 of us by other than a house, in our lives, 363 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:52.680 and they the moment you tried them off the lot, 364 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.000 you know they're going to depreciate. So you got to 365 00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:58.720 be careful, very careful about what you what you think 366 00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.480 about buying and uh and these guys can give you 367 00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:03.599 the They will give you the honest answers.
