I'm Don Armstrong , Glad you could join us on this rainy cold Saturday here in Chile , In Houston , Texas .

Speaker 3

So we have some people listening and watching online .

Speaker 1

Oh , dear God , I'm so sorry . We apologize for everything and Paint House .

Speaker 3

Randy Borchardt , paint House , based on Jeff's story , apparently says check out the hydrogen diesel injection to keep the dog clean . It's fascinating . I'm really not sure what that means .

Speaker 2

Hey , I don't know what you kids young kids are calling it nowadays , but you shouldn't be bringing that up .

Speaker 1

Well , they're smoking something over there .

Speaker 2

I'm not exactly sure what it is yeah , paint fumes .

Speaker 1

That's what it is . Oh lord , have mercy young kids . I can't take him anywhere , okay so , first of all , we're going to do the recalls , because you're in deep trouble . Oh boy , uh , the rear brake hose may leak on the 2024 and 2025 Toyota Tacoma . Why , well , I guess they didn't tighten it up enough , or something I don't know . Damaged second row seat belt is being recalled on the Lexus NX , nx Hybrid , rx , rx Hybrid and the Camry Hybrid 2024 , 2025 .

Speaker 2

Might be that little escutcheon that goes in there .

Speaker 1

Escutcheon , I like that word . Chrome front grill deflector may detach , oh boy , on the gmc sierra 1500 for 2022 , that's being recalled . They're going to put a screw in it and be on your way and then it's going to leak insufficient On .

Speaker 1

The trailing arm mounts can fail . But that's not good . I don't VM the Toyota Sienna VM . What is a VM ? I have no idea . I don't think it's a disease , but anyway , it's 23 and 24 . What's the fix Ointment ? It's insufficient wells . I guess they're going to weld it up . The trailing arm mounts can fail . That's not good . In other words , the whole back end of the car can come apart . Yeah , yeah , hyundai Ioniq 5 . Rear seat airbag may not deploy , but it won't make any difference because you won't know about it anyway , you'll be dead that's the 2025 model .

Speaker 1

Also , the ionic 5 has reduced braking performance from a software error . They got some problems with the ionic 5 . I want to get that fixed before you leave the showroom , looked at volvo ex90 headlight shutters may close unexpectedly . Martha it all of a . It got a little dark out here on the highway .

Speaker 2

Oh , martha , martha's always in trouble . She is . Anyway , those are the results . Those of you named Martha out there , we apologize .

Speaker 1

I used to know a Martha , did you yeah ?

Speaker 2

Last name Washington . No , it wasn't Martha Washington .

Speaker 1

Did you go to school with her ? I did not , martha washington , no , no , I was close . I was lincoln time . Now for the hemmingscom sold cars roundup for the week , all right here's our first vehicle of the day is going to be this you gotta go . I like go . What in the world ? Well , you know the sold cars round up over at Hemmingscom . This car appears and this car is a 1971 Chevrolet Nova . Yes , I don't think that it runs . It doesn't look like it runs . It doesn't even have a window in front of it .

Speaker 2

It's not like a Copo in disguise or anything that sat out in the rain .

Speaker 1

No , no , it looks like a fixer-upper . Does it have a motor ? Probably not , but somebody thinks that this car is exactly what they need and it sold . The question is how much did it ?

Speaker 2

sell for Is that original rust $1,500 . Really .

Speaker 1

Yes , it sell for that original rust 1500 bucks , really , yes , I have a feeling that this may be you said 71 , so it could be would they have ss novas back then ?

Speaker 3

yes , yes , yeah , I don't know some big block .

Speaker 1

No , I don't even know if this is that got that or not , but I will tell you before you put in your price , mr mars , uh , that , uh , I'm thinking that it may be something special .

Speaker 3

That's what I would think . If Hemings is actually going to sell something like that , there's got to be something behind it .

Speaker 1

Well , it's not Hemings . Somebody used Hemings to put it up there , yeah right .

Speaker 3

But I mean they do some vetting to make sure nobody's ripping anybody off . So I'm going to say that's probably . I'm going to say $10,000 .

Speaker 2

I'm going to change mine to $3,000 . I'm going to double my offer .

Speaker 1

Well , it actually sold for $7,025 . So my guess is you see , it looks like it has a car cover up on the roof of it . I would guess that this car was something special at one time , or trash bags , yeah .

Speaker 3

Yeah , that's what I mean . It could be an SS , it could be a 350 . It could be an SS , it could be a 350 . It could actually be 396 , or yeah , a big block . Well , no , if we definitely wanted it .

Speaker 1

It'd be a 427 , but I don't think they put a 427 . Why didn't we show that ? I know they do a 396 .

Speaker 3

I just don't know if they did the 427 or not , I don't think , a SS down there in the grill . No , that's a hole to put the grill in .

Speaker 2

That's a dead squirrel . Dead squirrel under there . Okay , the next one A 1966 Pontiac GTO .

Speaker 1

It's maroon , it may have aftermarket wheels on it . Boy , is that clean , is that sweet , oh look at the plate .

Speaker 2

Sl Boy , is that clean , is that sweet ? Oh , I'd like to have Slick One . Is the plate yeah .

Speaker 1

Don't call them on the phone though .

Speaker 2

Because I don't think Slick One owns it anymore . Look at the background of the shot . It's a cemetery . It's an old car , it is a cemetery .

Speaker 3

Look at that it's an old car .

Speaker 1

Maybe the owner died . Cemetery Get that . Maybe the owner died , or the battery's dead . Battery's dead . That's what it is .

Speaker 2

I'm going $32,000 .

Speaker 3

Mars , you said 66 ?

Speaker 1

Yeah , I'll go 40 . Okay Well , did you cheat ? And look , jeff , no , I just . It went for $32,025 .

Speaker 2

I did not . That was just a heck of a . I've been losing for the past month , so that's a good win . That's a double win for you , that's a double win , and you know what ?

Speaker 1

You hit it right on the butt .

Speaker 2

We're going to go with .

Speaker 3

It's a good looking car .

Speaker 2

It's a beautiful car . I wonder where the cemetery is . Who is that ? Who's laid to rest there ?

Speaker 1

I don't know . The next one is the 1978 International Scout II . You know , back in the day the International Scouts were not top of mind . Were they over there in Nederland ? They , there weren't vehicles . Yeah , yeah , the international ? Yeah , well , this clearly wasn't where if it was they , well they .

Speaker 3

They covered it up pretty good . The broncos got to be so expensive . People started looking for something else .

Speaker 1

Yeah well , this uh reminds me more along the lines of the chevy blazer back in the day .

Speaker 3

Yeah , it's about that size .

Speaker 1

It's a big , big utility and it's a two-door and I think does the top come off of it .

Speaker 2

It looks like it does , Apparently it does yeah , it looks nice .

Speaker 1

So anyway , 78 International Scout II . It looks all stock except for the wheels and tires , and it's a good-looking truck . How much do you think that that thing sold for ?

Speaker 2

I'm gonna go 27 000 I was gonna go 26 really yeah .

Speaker 1

Well , you'll be shocked to know that it went for 44 625 dollars . Ouch low miles , the low miles on it's it .

Speaker 3

It's got an LS and it's tubbed . Oh my goodness .

Speaker 1

Your next vehicle Victim Victim Is a 1975 Ford Ranchero . Now , personally , this was not my cup of tea , any of the Rancheros . I wasn't a Ranchero guy , I was an El Camino guy . But that looks all stock again , except for the wheels on it , and it's very well done it's still in the shipping crate .

Speaker 1

Okay , you can call it that . All right , it's got the fake wood paneling on the side of it . I don't know , as if it would be something that I would buy no , it wouldn't be in second thought , but anyway it looks really clean . Uh , 75 ford ranchero , what do you think that that would bring it's ? Pretty nice now that ranchero , uh , that model , you're 75 , was it not based on the torino ?

Speaker 3

sounds familiar I think they kind of got away from it by that time well , it wasn't .

Speaker 1

It wasn't something on its own . I mean , they didn't specifically make the ranchero that it's from something else it's got to be torino . Anyway , it doesn't make any difference . Yeah , how much do you think that that thing sold for ?

Speaker 2

I would go go for a 22 . I'm going 27 . 14 . Wow .

Speaker 1

I guess , maybe it's because they never got it out of the crate . That would be something for you to buy over there in Neederville , right there . That would be a road trip car , you and Becky .

Speaker 2

The rockers look like they're intact .

Speaker 3

It's El Camino . She's kind of an El Camino type person . We've looked at a couple of them Not much on the Ranchero . You always have to be complicated 1977 Ford F-150 .

Speaker 1

This is what we used to call a step side . The other one was a fleet side . This is a step side because it had a step back there , step on the side . It's made the box in the back more narrow . Yeah , okay , in the back more narrow . Yeah okay .

Speaker 3

Um , it looks stock again , except for the tires and wheels on it . It's pretty clean it is .

Speaker 1

Is that ? Is that a mirror , or is that a light , a stoplight , a spotlight , spotlight . Interesting , because usually those would go through the a pillar , but this one doesn't , goes to the door on this one .

Speaker 2

There's not much of an A pillar if you look at that .

Speaker 3

Yeah , there's not much to work with there .

Speaker 2

How much , Michael ? You go first 15 . I'll go 18 . 16 .

Speaker 1

16 , 275 . Now that would be a good , nice , clean , older , probably a small V8 in it , I would guess .

Speaker 3

Yeah , something you can work on . It's not all computerized .

Speaker 1

All right . Our next one is for the highfalutin over there in Neederville , the fee-ha . This is a 2012 Land Rover LR4 . Land rover lr4 um , it probably just got out of the repair shop because it probably lives there , but 2012 land rover lr4 or a rapper video uh-huh , uh , notorious big , or something . So how much do you think that something like that would cost you initially ? Because it , from what I understand , is not real reliable .

Speaker 2

I'm going to shoot the moon on this . Please don't and go 30 . Really .

Speaker 3

Mm-hmm , what year did you say ? It was 2012 . 12 . Mm-hmm , I yeah , 30 is probably a good number , I'll say 25 .

Speaker 1

19,845 . Must be high miles .

Speaker 2

Yeah , somebody wanted it really bad .

Speaker 1

And then the notorious DON video and our last one of the morning is the one that we're going to buy for the in-wheel time machine . The next in-wheel time machine is a 1973 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron . Oh man , it's about a mile long and it's green .

Speaker 2

It's a hard top too , isn't it ? Look at that ? Yeah , it has to be .

Speaker 1

Yeah , well , it's a vinyl top , but it's a hard top . Yeah , yeah , it doesn't have the B pillar in there .

Speaker 2

Look at this Enormous .

Speaker 1

It's growing by the moment you could not fit that in your garage . How much 73 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron 22 . 12 . 21 . I got two .

Speaker 2

I know , jeff , you did Because I love that . That's just me .

Speaker 3

All I can see is John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd .

Speaker 2

That's it . And when you go to your local heb or kroger , you got to park at three spots across on an angle . That's beautiful , pretty much . Yeah , you bet .

Speaker 1

Look at that um can you imagine what that ride's like going down the road ? A feather , I'm thinking . I'm thinking a big , a big mattress . That's real gushy . They just kind of float across the roadway Like a Tempur-Pedic . Yeah , okay , we'll go for that . Coming up , jeff has the cruise in and events calendars and I'll have the stories making automotive news headlines this week . Thanks for joining us today on the award-winning In Wheel Time Car Talk Show .

Speaker 2

Heading out of town .

Speaker 1

Heading out of town . Yeah , and went up there and talked to the gal up there and got a great tour . It's probably one of the strangest breweries that I have ever seen .

Speaker 1

Location wise , you're in , yeah you're a strange brewery guy , yeah yeah , you are , and so this is off of little york and hirsch roads and it's basically in a very industrial uh area with lots of warehouses and the brewery is inside this man's warehouse . I guess that , whatever business is in the warehouse , that he did well and he thought , well , I'll do something for the guys . Well , I have a brewery right here , and he does . It's a legit brewery . It's got a great indoor area , the tap room , as they call it . I'm not a beer drinker , but all this property out to the side of it They've got volleyball courts .

Speaker 1

You know all that big pavilion outside yeah and uh , it's pretty cool , you're gonna be impressed .

Speaker 2

Yeah , mike , you're interested in the pickleball , aren't you , mike ? Oh yeah , yeah , you know you're gonna wear your little pickleball outfit when you go well , that's what I'm gonna do when I get old enough you know what ?

Speaker 1

I think that's a great idea . I think that we should do . We're going to get some , we're going to get some new , we're working on wardrobes , I almost said it . I think that what we should do is get some , and you do , you have them over there at . I'm sure we could create something . Uh-huh , create some pickleball outfits , all four of us like bowling shirts . Oh no , no , this would be . We have to have some really tight , high 1970s shorts Like the 70s basketball shorts Yep .

Speaker 3

We need those . I thought you were going to go for skirts .

Speaker 1

Tennis skirts . See , you would think of that , I didn't . But that tells you a lot , tells everybody a little bit about you . All right , moving on , okay .

Speaker 2

Some of the stories making automotive news headlines coming up right after jeff does the cruise in an event and here we go . So we got these are for uh , next weekend , not this weekend . Gears and grounds at the shop club houston .

Speaker 1

The gathering promises to gears and grounds .

Speaker 2

I like that yeah , I know coffee and hot rods display a wide variety of vehicles , including classic cars , sports cars , exotics , race cars and so on . Uh , lifted or lowered Starts at 10 am to 10 , but it always goes over . It's at 13150 Brenton Ridge Street in Houston . That's March 1st , from 8 am to 10 . You got Coffee and Cars Houston . From hybrid cars to classics , jdms , machines , a wide variety of vehicles there . No registration is required . It is at Post HTX 401 Franklin Street in Houston . That's the old post office . It is at Post HTX 401 Franklin Street in Houston . That's the old post office . Yep , and then you've got weekly cruising to Montgomery . That's every week , every Saturday , 6 pm to 9 pm behind McDonald's and O'Reilly . So if you're back there doing something you shouldn't be , you better get out Montgomery Texas cruise-ins . 943 Ava Street , montgomery . That's from 6 to 9 .

Speaker 2

Conroe Cruisers another great event . It's a weekly participation thing for the folks out there , kroger Marketplace parking lot in Conroe . And then Sunday , march 2nd , you've got the Market Street at the Woodlands . Uni Sushi . That's at 95.95 Uni Sushi , 95.95 Six Pines . It's a charity event to get to raise money for the local charities in Montgomery . So everything's good 95 , 6 Pines . It's a charity event . They're going to raise money for the local charities in Montgomery .

Speaker 1

So everything's good , everything's good there . Lots to do , lots to do . Tariff uncertainty looms for the public auto retailers as they assess what brands , models and parts could be impacted . Companies are peering for some disruption while hoping that lots stocked with new vehicle inventory and a boost from parts and service revenue will help them get through whatever they face . Significant portions of top public dealership groups new vehicle brand mix could be impacted . If the 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico happen , then Toyota , honda , nissan and General Motors are the automakers most at risk . This makes Asbury Auto Group , autonation Group , one Automotive and Lithia the most vulnerable companies . According to a spokesperson by the name of Mr Stevens , the groups have at least 35% of their new vehicle brand mix in those four most at-risk brands . The unequal impact of tariffs could mean that some automakers and dealers will have a major advantage over others . According to Jeff Lick , an auto analyst at Stevens , for example , the F-Series is only made in the US , so that's not an issue . The Silverado is also mostly made in the US , he said , but the RAV4 , which is Toyota's number one selling model , is almost all made in Canada .

Speaker 1

Trump is also planning to announce details about tariffs on imported automobiles April 2nd . Planning to announce details about tariffs on imported automobiles april 2nd . The potential levies would further expand the impact of trump's trade policies on automakers outside of north america , such as kia and hyundai . Trump said the tariffs will be around 25 . We'll have to wait and see how that works out . But that's the huge . The huge , no , no , oh , can you not through yet ? You hear that it's not through yet . Oh , sorry , you're over here meddling in my stuff . I am meddling , dude . That's what it says here . Somebody wrote that word . Dude , where's my contract ? That's the question many suppliers have been asking and automakers largely haven't been answering . It isn't necessarily because they don't want to . It's not a secret in the industry that in a time of potential trade war and great regulatory uncertainty , automakers are totally sure what to make , aren't totally sure what to make Roadmap beyond 2026 , whether driven by internal combustion , hybrid or electric powertrains is hazy at best .

Speaker 1

So everybody's sitting on pins and needles . They're not selling it . Well , I can't say that they are selling EVs , not at the rate that they had hoped to . So there's a lot of EVs sitting on dealer lots . You could probably get a deal on one if you wanted to go that route . But people also aren't buying lots of automobiles to begin with . Right , it's kind of flat sales right now . Everybody's kind of hanging on Because , think of this you buy a new car and it's one of those that you're going to pay more for because of the tariffs . What if something goes wrong with it and you need a part ? Is that part made in Mexico ? If they build the car in Mexico , is it made in Mexico ? That part now may or may not have the tariff on it .

Speaker 3

It'll cost more .

Speaker 1

It'll cost more , if you can get it , because , remember , cars are assembled In time , so the part gets delivered to the assembly factory and then it gets put on the vehicle .

Speaker 2

Yeah , but if the vehicle's under the manufacturer warranty , you're not paying anything for that part . No , but you might not have a car Right .

Speaker 1

It'd be in the shop . You can't drive it .

Speaker 3

You can't wait on that part to get here . But then that gets into the whole cycle of people keeping the cars longer , which means the used car prices go up because there's less of them . It's problematic . Yes , it is .

Speaker 1

Different story . High-level Japanese group , which includes a former prime minister , has drawn up plans for Tesla to invest in Nissan following the collapse of its merger talks with Honda . Following the collapse of its merger talks with Honda , this group is hopeful that Tesla will become a strategic investor , since they believe it is keen to acquire Nissan's plants in the United States . According to the report , Nissan in recent weeks has been searching for a strategic partner in the tech industry , with some board members suggesting Tesla and Apple as ideal targets .

Speaker 2

The plot thickens .

Speaker 1

Yes , it does .

Speaker 3

Because that would give Tesla a distribution network with dealers in place Ding , ding , ding , ding ding .

Speaker 1

We'll see what happens , but it's all in an uproar right now . Yeah , yeah . That people aren't really talking about , because nobody seems to know anything .

Speaker 3

Well , I think Anything they're going to share anyway , yeah .

Speaker 2

Elon needs to contact us and we'll let him know . That's right , we'll get it started the way things are going with Elon right now .

Speaker 1

I don't want to have anything to do with it . He'll come in here and say ah you owe more in your taxes , right ? No , they're just going to get rid of the dead weight . Is that what it is ?

Speaker 3

yeah , okay the waste and the fraud like that uh tesla .

Speaker 1

Speaking of tesla is going to recall nearly 380 000 us vehicles due to a power steering assist failure that could increase steering effort , particularly at low speeds , raising the risk of a crash . In the filing made public February 21st , tesla said some 2023 Model 3 sedans and Model Y crossovers which run on older software , may experience an overvoltage breakdown . There's a word overvoltage , potentially overstressing motor drive components on the printed circuit board . So be aware of that if you're a Tesla person . I can't imagine a Tesla person listening to this show , though , do you ?

Speaker 3

Of course they do . You think yes .

Speaker 1

Why do you think that it's a car show ?

Speaker 3

That's right . Car people are car people , that's right .

Speaker 1

Well , that's good . I like that analogy . Thank you for that . Like I said , he's going to be cutting dead weight .

Speaker 2

You know he's going to be going , yeah giving me lots of confidence here .

Speaker 1

Hey , we'd love to hear from you . Just shoot us an email . The address here is info at inwheeltimecom . We got more of the In Wheel Time Car Talk Show coming your way after this .
