WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:02.120 It's Night Side with Ray. 2 00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:09.919 I'MBZ Kuston's video welcome back everybody, and making their first 3 00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:13.640 appearance of twenty twenty five here on Nightside. 4 00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:17.719 It's been a while, gentlemen, Larry and Scott Rubinstein. Hey, gentlemen, 5 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:18.160 how are you? 6 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.480 Hi? Dam doing great? 7 00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:24.839 Boy? The winter kind of flew here, you know, I 8 00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.920 guess the last time you graced our airways. And Scott, 9 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:30.719 welcome to you, my friend as well. 10 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:32.359 Big you. 11 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:33.679 S good to hear from you. 12 00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:38.679 Yeah. Absolutely, I hope everyone is well and all of that. 13 00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.920 And we're gonna we're gonna talk cars. I'm kind of 14 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.679 pinning tonight to May first. I mean, it was a 15 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.439 beautiful day today. I think we're safe. We can put this. 16 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.439 Can we take the snow tires off? Is that are 17 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.200 the chains? I don't know if anybody use the chains 18 00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.759 of snow tires anymore, but probably some people do, right. 19 00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:09.319 Well, I haven't a while. Many years ago, on Mother's 20 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.439 Day we did get whack. I don't know whether you 21 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:12.280 remember that or not. 22 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:14.040 Nineteen seventy seven. 23 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.840 Yeah, sir, we got several inches of snow on that day. 24 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.120 Oh, I covered that storm nineteen seventy seven, Yes, sir, 25 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.480 I remembered very well. I mean it was like eight 26 00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.239 to ten inches of snow. This was not like cover 27 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:29.799 the grass. This was a real snowstorm. Yes, I do. 28 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.840 Yes. Now, please don't tell me that you were the 29 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.480 guy outside doing the live shot. Were you? 30 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:39.519 No, I was at that point though I had not 31 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.400 taken over. I took over from Shelby Scott when Shelby 32 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.120 retired in March of nineteen ninety six and went to 33 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.640 the mornings, and that's when I did all of those 34 00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.840 morning live shots, and I did a lot of live shots, 35 00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:53.840 snow live shots. It were kind of fun. I don't 36 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.799 think so, because I think this by time the sun 37 00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.079 came up, the snow pretty much had stopped. It was 38 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.000 beautiful and there were a lot of the trees that 39 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:03.840 had already blossomed or bloomed or whatever the term is. 40 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.879 And there were a lot of trees that that lost limbs. 41 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.479 It was. It was a big It was a big snowstorm. 42 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.680 So I know I was out in it. I don't know. 43 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.560 I remember I was in Natick is where I was, 44 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.240 And yeah, I hadn't spent much time in Natick at 45 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.560 that point in my life. But I eventually would spend 46 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.960 a lot of time in Natick, so it was one 47 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.719 of my first first exposures to Natick. So so I 48 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:33.000 think when you look at the weather forecast tonight, we're 49 00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.680 in the clear. I'm ready to make that announcement. 50 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.599 I have to agree with you mother nts it can't 51 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.439 be tricky. But I don't think she's gonna pull the 52 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.960 same trick twice in the same century. Well, this is 53 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.719 a different century. Maybe all that. 54 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:49.560 We'll worry about that later. 55 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:54.280 But yeah, I was slightly take on that. I think 56 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.560 we're definitely clear of the snow. We're definitely out of that. 57 00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.960 We don't have to worry about that. If you haven't 58 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.319 looked at the forecast to the upcoming five six days 59 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:05.719 right into midwek next week, we are going to be 60 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:10.719 seeing a locked lot of rain coming up. So we 61 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:12.879 may think that it's safe that we don't have great 62 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.879 tires on our vehicle, and you know we need the 63 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.879 traction for snow, but remember those tires are wearing down 64 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.280 and we don't have good treads that we can't push 65 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.759 that water out of the treads in the side. We've 66 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.120 lost our water sites. So it's just an important winter 67 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.960 time we've got to have good tires coming up that 68 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.719 and wiper blades, spring showers. 69 00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:38.919 Right, yeah, absolutely, let's talk. Let's talk about everybody, I 70 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:44.319 hope knows to what level their tires should be inflated. 71 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:50.759 But with the return of warmer weather eventually does that 72 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:56.560 affect the how much your tires are either inflated or deflated? 73 00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:58.919 And does it make it should you should you back 74 00:03:59.000 --> 00:03:59.759 off a little bit? 75 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.599 Everybody in New England should know this. Everybody in New 76 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.879 English should know this because we're all patriots fins and 77 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.000 how can we ever, they'll never let us forget to 78 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:13.439 flate gate Okay in the ideal guest law and how 79 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:17.879 pressure changes with temperature. So now those tires that you 80 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.639 had said at two at thirty two pounds of pressure 81 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.040 when it was back around ten degrees, well now it's 82 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.160 you know, fifty sixty degrees out there. That thirty two 83 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.519 is now registering thirty six thirty eight when it's cold. 84 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.000 So now as you start to drive the car, they 85 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.079 got to continue to inflate because the temperature's gone up 86 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.560 on the tire, the pressure keeps raising and all of 87 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.439 a sudden, those tires that were running thirty two or 88 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.600 thirty six at full heat, are now running forty two 89 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.079 forty four pounds, which is fine because yes, you'll get 90 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:55.560 a little bit better fuel mileage because it's less rolling resistance. However, 91 00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.079 now you've started to make the tire almost an oval, 92 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.480 you're not, and you can actually cause additional center wear 93 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.519 and a tire versus a full path pattern across. So yes, 94 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.439 it's just as important just to adjust them and the 95 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.399 winter as it is to adjust them in the spring 96 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:13.879 and summer. 97 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:15.839 Okay, so what is the adjustment you got to You 98 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:17.000 gotta take some airry. 99 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.800 You don't want to go down. You're gonna want to 100 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:22.319 go down. And the best things for people to do 101 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:24.519 is before they get up on you know, on a 102 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:29.920 Saturday morning, before you go anywhere, check that doorsticker and 103 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.959 see what your pressures are recommended. And you'll notice it 104 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.160 says cold whatever. Whenever you look at a car tire 105 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:39.560 pressure that's indicated on the door or door frame, it'll 106 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:41.519 tell you what that pressure is supposed to be. Cold. 107 00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:44.000 So you want to do that before you go on 108 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.680 a you know, twenty thirty mile drive and get those 109 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.120 tires heated. So if you set amend when the vehicle 110 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.279 cools back down. Now they're going to be too low, 111 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.560 So that's the best way to do it. 112 00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.399 Okay, And of course also you got to make sure 113 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:02.360 that all of the fluids in the car. I mean, 114 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.720 you winch your wipe or fluid. You probably used it 115 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:09.199 a lot during the wintertime. You can top it off. 116 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.439 You don't have to use the winter mix. So there's 117 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.920 a lot of things that can be done. And I 118 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:17.879 know people have a lot of questions, so we're going 119 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.160 to do gentlemen as just having started off with that, 120 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.399 let's take a break. We have the benefit of the 121 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:31.040 knowledge of Larry and Scott Rubinstein combined their time dealing 122 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.399 with cars. I'm not even going to estimate it, but 123 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.079 it's it's a lot and there's virtually no question. You'll 124 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:38.800 be able to ask if you're thinking about buying a 125 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.839 car or thinking about selling a car, any questions that 126 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.879 you have. If you want to know about the value 127 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.279 of a car, that's fine too. And if you've had problems, 128 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:54.959 they have solutions very rarely. They never stopped. Let's put 129 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.480 it like that, So whatever question you have about your 130 00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:02.879 car six one seven, four thirty nine, we will get 131 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:06.120 it going. With Larry that Scott Rubinstein and your phone 132 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.720 calls right after the break coming back on night Side. 133 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.959 It's night Side with Dan Ray on wb Boston's news radio. 134 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.240 Okay, gentlemen, let's start it off here for going to first, 135 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.879 go to the cape. Larry is down in Dennisport. Larry, 136 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.759 you are next. Are your first this hour actually with 137 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.279 the WZ car guys, Larry and Scott Rubinstein. Go right ahead, Larry. 138 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.000 Larry and Scott you might remember me. We did a 139 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.600 little business when you had your shop on Route one. 140 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:39.800 I used to own State Auto Spring down in Everett, 141 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:42.959 and you bought a spring or two from me. 142 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.040 Gentlemen, an old colleague is joining us tonight. Correct, Go 143 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:52.680 right ahead, guys. 144 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.839 So this is an EV question. I'm still old school. 145 00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.560 I drive cause at ten years old. But back a while, 146 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:04.160 a while, I don't remember how long ago. Dan had 147 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:08.000 Ernie Bock Junior as a guest in one of his segments, 148 00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:10.639 and he said that evs are really not the cow 149 00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:14.439 of the future. He thinks that it's hydrogen. So I've 150 00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:16.199 been out of the business for so long, So what 151 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.319 are your thoughts on Is that something that could positively 152 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.160 be developed in the near future? 153 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.959 This is something that Dad and I talk about all 154 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.600 the time. And I happen to work for Foster Motors, 155 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:36.480 which is the number proud to say that slants Dodge 156 00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:41.039 cheap dealership. In New England, we saw a ton of 157 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:47.000 evs and I will tell you I hate the technology. 158 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.480 I think that for the money that it costs you 159 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.600 after it to purchase an EV, I don't think it's 160 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:57.320 worth its value. I don't think the technology is to 161 00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.200 where it needs to be for the extra price they 162 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:03.039 judge for it. Dad has been a proponent for hydrogen 163 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:08.360 technology for years. I will went on that because I 164 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:12.120 was never riding on the EV. I brean uh and 165 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:15.960 I looked hydrogen as well. In Fyota, I know has 166 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.159 done a lot of development with it. They've got some 167 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.440 race vehicles out there. I think they do or have 168 00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:25.399 or in the mix of just getting the first ones 169 00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.919 out there. Huge it's great for the environment. The only 170 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.320 byproduct of it is water, and I think I think 171 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.639 catrogen is the future. I don't think it's what the 172 00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:39.200 government wants it to be. I don't think the government 173 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.480 wants it to be the future, but I think it's 174 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:43.799 what the consumer needs for the future. 175 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:49.120 So how do I'm totally I've lost here. So one 176 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.240 of you can explain to me how do how do 177 00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:54.759 you run a car on hydrogen? I mean help me 178 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:56.799 out here. If you pull up to some pump and 179 00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.840 you pump hydrogen in your guests tank. 180 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:07.240 Correct, correct, just like just like you would develop a gasoline. 181 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:12.679 Come on, but but hydrogen is actually out on the 182 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:17.159 West Coast. They have developed a hydrogen highway where there 183 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:21.960 are hydrogen filled stations. And the beauty of it is 184 00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.399 is that what comes out of your tailpipe is water. 185 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.159 Only get that these and this is where Ernie back 186 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.600 and I agree one hundred the evs are only a 187 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.919 stepping stone. That's all they are to get us to 188 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:37.960 the hydrogen. And if they can make it safe, which 189 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:41.320 is where the problem is, this is where the future 190 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:42.000 is going to be. 191 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.559 Okay, So I'm trying to understand this hydrogen I think 192 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.440 of as a gas, right. 193 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:49.320 It is, but it's not a. 194 00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:51.480 Bottle. 195 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.399 But it's it's it's not a is it not? It's 196 00:10:55.399 --> 00:11:00.159 not in liquid form? Is it? Is it liquid hydrogen? Oh? 197 00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:00.919 It's a gas. 198 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.200 Okay. So so you pull up to a station, which 199 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:08.639 is you know, when we pump gas, it's liquid so 200 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:12.440 you're just pumping hydrogen air into your into your tank? 201 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:13.440 Is that the deal? 202 00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:17.799 No, no different than when you go to mean filling station. 203 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:24.000 Okay, fair enough, okay, fair enough? Uh? And then how 204 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.559 long do you get with hydrogen? Let's let's put aside 205 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.799 the danger for a second. How long I know that 206 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.600 when I fill my car with gas, I can probably 207 00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:37.759 you know, drive I don't know three hundred four hundred miles. 208 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:40.159 I don't do that. I but once I get down 209 00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:42.440 to a third of a tank, I'm looking for a 210 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:46.480 gas station. But how long? How much mileage do you 211 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.519 get from hydrogen on a car? 212 00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:55.279 It's the same tank like a fuel tank. I'm sorry 213 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:55.879 to go ahead. 214 00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.840 It's it's so futuristic that they really don't have a 215 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.600 number yet then, and it's very simply it depends on 216 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.919 the side of the tank that's in the vehicle that 217 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.120 you are driving. If they have a tank that's let's say, 218 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:17.679 six foot long, like the battery assemblies are now one cars, 219 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:21.799 they can put a whole lot more hydrogen into that car. 220 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.879 If you have a smaller car, like a three wheel 221 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:29.200 cop for instance, you know, something silly and stupid like 222 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.000 like that, then of course it's gonna be a much 223 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.559 much smaller car. It is much safer for the atmosphere 224 00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.480 than what comes out of the tailpipes. Now, what we've 225 00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:42.720 done with that tailpipe emissions is great. The cafe has 226 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:45.919 gone higher and higher. As a matter of fact, at 227 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:52.720 the UH at theh AT briefing yesterday where Trump met 228 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:57.200 with his cabinet members, they had discussed that the cafe 229 00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.679 is going to be brought down, the cafe stance for 230 00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:03.559 ser fire the average fuel economy, and that's going to 231 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:06.600 reduce the price of the cars a little bit more. 232 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:10.759 And Lord knows we need that because the technology does 233 00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:13.720 not have to be as strict, and the engines can 234 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.000 be relaxed a little bit because they are allowed to 235 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:23.000 burn some emissions. And you're going to have emissions whenever 236 00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:26.559 you have a gasoline engine or any kind of an 237 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:31.399 engine that uses fossil fuel. Okay, so we understand gasline 238 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:32.399 brought down a little bit. 239 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:35.360 Okay, we understand gasoline. Gasoline has been around for a 240 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:38.559 long time. We know that hybrid vehicles are out there, 241 00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.000 We know that evs are out there, and we know 242 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.279 the pluses and the minuses. How far are we away 243 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:49.279 from actually buying a car that is hydrogen fueled, and 244 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:52.200 is you know, on the road not just in the 245 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:52.919 testing case? 246 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:53.960 Five years? 247 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.720 Five years? Okay, fair enough, Larry, Larry, Dennisport. Did you 248 00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:59.440 have a follow up question on anything. 249 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.960 No, that was my last question of how far away 250 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:02.360 you thinking? 251 00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:02.519 This is? 252 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:03.120 Five years? 253 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:03.480 Okay? 254 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.799 That sounds good. Appreciate the call. Nice to talk to 255 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:06.120 you guys. 256 00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:07.720 Yeah, I think we're that close. 257 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:08.519 Good. 258 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:12.480 Thanks Larry and Dennis plot Scott, your your phone's breaking 259 00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:15.000 us up on us a little bit. I'm gonna have 260 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:17.559 Rob all right, No, no, I'm gonna I don't know 261 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.480 if you're not in a moving vehicle, I'm sure, but 262 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.679 I'm gonna have Rob try to try to get you closer, 263 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.159 maybe to a window or something. I just want to 264 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.759 make sure that everything is fine. So we're going to 265 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.879 take a very quick break here we're talking with the 266 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:36.240 WBZ car guys. I just learned a lot about hydrogen. Hi, 267 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:42.480 it sounded to me so futuristic. I did recently. Actually 268 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:47.720 it was last last year I drove I Rode, I 269 00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:51.879 should say, in one of those auto automatic cars in 270 00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:55.799 San Francisco, which was a very weird feeling sitting in 271 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:59.039 the backseat, knowing that there was no one driving the car. 272 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:03.679 It was being you're driven remotely. But I got used 273 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:06.679 to it, and you know, you just watched it was 274 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:09.279 like there was a ghost turning turning the wheel of 275 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:14.000 the car. So there's a lot of changes coming. And uh, 276 00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:14.320 and I. 277 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:18.039 Have either of you. 278 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.399 Have either of you experienced that one of one of 279 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:25.960 those cars, especially on the West. 280 00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:28.120 Coast right right? 281 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:28.279 No? 282 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.279 I you know what I I would be holding on 283 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:37.080 to the door handle for my dear life is I'd 284 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:40.320 like to at least have somebody up front, because you know, 285 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:46.440 AI does malfunction and I don't want to be a 286 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.320 part of the malfunction. So not having a driver upfront, 287 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.240 to me, that's pretty damn scary. 288 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:54.559 Yeah. Well, I'll tell you it wasn't to me because 289 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.480 we were on city streets. You weren't going in any 290 00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:00.240 high rate of speed, and the vehicle seemed to be 291 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:02.399 pretty well under control. 292 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:06.919 You know, it's it's by the way, you know, hey, 293 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:10.399 but yeah, but what if the vehicle goes out of 294 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:13.559 control and all of a sudden, you're going from twenty 295 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:14.120 miles an. 296 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.679 Hour on the side street. Something malfunctions and now you're 297 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:19.879 going seventy on the side street. 298 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:21.639 That would be a problem. 299 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:27.360 Why I would like to see a human being up front. 300 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:33.320 I will tell you this, you know, I'm I don't 301 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.440 know if you guys watch Jimmy Kimmel at night, he's 302 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:41.399 on you know a network TV. I think ABC. He 303 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.200 did a joke on I guess an aunt of his 304 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:48.679 who came to visit him. And if you just google 305 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:54.080 Jimmy Kimmel, you know, automatic car he puts his aunt. 306 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:56.720 She comes out, and there's what she thinks is a 307 00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.320 driver puts her in the back seat and then says 308 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:02.480 to the aunt, gie, I have to, you know, go 309 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:05.000 in and use the restroom. I'll be right out. And 310 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:07.319 I forget what the ances name was, like on Chicky 311 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:10.279 or something, and she sort of fit the name fit 312 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:12.680 because she was very bossy, and she said, yeah, but 313 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.319 hurry up, you know that sort of thing. So the 314 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.440 guy you walked away and the car automatically took off. 315 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.440 She's in the backseat of the car. She has no 316 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:27.640 idea what's going on, and they had a car following 317 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:31.440 her with some of her children, you know, you know, 318 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:36.759 saying hello, welcome to the car, and who are you recognize? 319 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:40.759 Their voices. It was it's hysterical. It is hysterical. It's 320 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:44.640 like on Chicky with Jimmy Kimmel. You guys, I know 321 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:47.599 we have good senses of humor. You'd appreciate it. It 322 00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:50.279 runs about six minutes, but it's one of those moments 323 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:53.559 where you laugh so hard you cry. 324 00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:56.519 It was it was I'm gonna have to grip my 325 00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:57.680 teeth and check out. 326 00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:01.319 Yeah, yeah, and you'll never get into an one looks again. Larry. 327 00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:03.440 We'll take a quick break back with Larry and Scott. 328 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:05.160 Got a couple of open lines if you want to 329 00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:08.319 get in get in early six one, seven, two thirty, six, 330 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:12.039 one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty. Back on night Side, 331 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:14.359 right after the news at the bottom of the hour. 332 00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:21.599 Night Side with Dan Ray, I'm WBZ Boston's news Radio. 333 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.200 Back to the phones, we go for the WBZ car guys. 334 00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:28.640 Larry and Scott Rubinstein are here. We're gonna pick the 335 00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:30.839 pace up a little bit. Let's go to Jane and 336 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:34.039 Evergni're next on night Side with Scott and Larry Rubinstein. 337 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:35.480 Goright ahead. What's your car questions? 338 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:35.680 Gee? 339 00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:40.160 Hi, Hi Dan, thank you, Hi guys. So I have 340 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:44.079 a Honda record twenty twenty, and they did have a 341 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.559 recall that said, you know, if you're ac the stat's 342 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.880 not working great, you can have it checked. And they 343 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:57.680 they had a problem with sometimes losing the gas or whatever. 344 00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:02.400 I don't know. So last summer I noticed I didn't 345 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:05.759 feel like my curacy was quite as cold as it 346 00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:08.759 should have been. I mean, it worked, but I didn't 347 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:12.200 feel it was really enough. But and I know we 348 00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:15.319 had an extremely hot summer, so I want to know 349 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:19.319 what is the test that will be done to check it. 350 00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:25.839 I hate anyone touching my car unnecessarily, especially because we'll 351 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:27.160 do before. 352 00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:31.359 But there are two tests that they're going to take. 353 00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:34.599 Number one, they're going to put a set of gauges 354 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:39.000 onto the access ports under the hood, and they're going 355 00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:42.119 to look at the two readings high side and low side, 356 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:46.279 and they're going to take into consideration the temperature of 357 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:49.039 that day, and they're going to make sure that those 358 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:51.960 pressures are proper and in the range that they have 359 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:52.200 to be. 360 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:57.519 Okay too, yeah, go ahead. 361 00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:02.319 And Test two is they're going to put a thermometer 362 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:08.680 into the center outlet port of your dashboard where the 363 00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:12.559 cold air comes out of, and they're going to one again, 364 00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:16.799 take into consideration the temperature of the day, and they're 365 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:19.880 going to see whether your car reaches the proper temperature 366 00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:26.119 from the outlet that is prescribed to in the book. Basically, 367 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.640 they're looking for twenty at minimally twenty degrees cooler than 368 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:36.319 the ambient temperature. If your car passes those tests, then 369 00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:42.920 there's no further work that needs to be done. 370 00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:47.000 I did, but I have a question. When they check 371 00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:53.519 the temperature on that gauge access put under the hood, 372 00:20:54.680 --> 00:21:00.119 can some of my gas come out? Can I lose gas? 373 00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:06.680 You know, when you take off the gauge contact point, 374 00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:13.480 you're gonna get a and it's an insignificant amount. I 375 00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:20.279 mean your car probably holds ten to fourteen ounces a gas. Yeah, 376 00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:25.920 and what comes out as miniscule nothing you even have 377 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:29.319 to worry about it. I mean, it's it's just because 378 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:31.799 there is a little bit of gas left in that hose, 379 00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:34.920 because they have a hose that runs up up to 380 00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:39.000 the gauge, and what comes out, it's just looking for this. 381 00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:44.799 That's it. So no damage could possibly take place. Now 382 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.799 if they leave the hose half on and half off, yeah, 383 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:51.039 you're going to lose a lot of gas. 384 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:57.000 Because okay, because when I had my new central air 385 00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:02.079 conditioning at my home tuned up and the guy came 386 00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:05.200 out and checked the gas and he lost quite a 387 00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:07.240 bit of guess when I was standing there was checking 388 00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:09.359 and I'm not even having that checked again. I'll tell 389 00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:12.920 you the truth, all right, hopefully. 390 00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:16.319 Hopefully that's helpful. Appreciate your call, Jean, Glad and hope 391 00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:18.440 you have a nice, cool driving summer. Let's go next 392 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:20.519 to Scott and Dadhim Scott, you're next to Nightside. Go 393 00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:22.599 right ahead with Larry Scott Rubinstein. 394 00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:25.880 Good evening, gentlemen. Hey, it's just a quick follow up. 395 00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:28.240 I talked to you guys over the winter. I had 396 00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:32.079 a twenty sixteen Mercedes C three hundred and was getting 397 00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:35.359 a gas smell when it was parked in the garage. 398 00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:39.160 There isn't a recall, but it is. It is an 399 00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:43.799 extended warranty because the flex part of the flex hoo 400 00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:46.759 is going from the frame to the high pressure side. 401 00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:50.079
