Speaker 5 1:15

Yeah , it did , and it's really a neat-looking vehicle , so tell us so .

Speaker 4 1:21

you mentioned , though , your first car was a A 68 Dodge Coronet 440 with a 440 Magnum in it .

Speaker 5 1:29

Right , and that's why you fell in love with this one , yeah .

Speaker 4 1:32

My mother hates herself for that too .

Speaker 5 1:34

Oh , well , tell us some more about this one .

Speaker 1 1:39

Why do you say , your mother hates you more for that ?

Speaker 4 1:40

Because she paid a lot of lawyers , a lot of money for tickets . So you used the whole road . Whose fault ?

Speaker 2 1:52

is that yeah , yeah , well , it's your mother's fault , apparently , at least . So , yep , you're right , you don't ?

Speaker 4 1:55

have any of her traits or habits or anything ?

Speaker 1 1:56

do you , uh , probably yeah , well , how long ago was that ?

Speaker 4 1:58

a few years ago that's been a long time ago , yeah uh , that that's not the case today .

Speaker 1 2:03

Apparently , you take very good care of this car .

Speaker 2 2:05

Well , we have a law firm for in-wheel time . They're Dewey , Cheatham and Howe . We'll give you their number . Thank you , yeah .

Speaker 1 2:13

And when you get done with that . If you're looking for some surgery , we've got Dr Howard , dr .

Speaker 4 2:18

Fine Dr Howard Yep .

Speaker 1 2:21

And then the other doctor that we have on staff is Dr Vinny Boombatz .

Speaker 2 2:25

That's it , that's him .

Speaker 5 2:26

He fills in on the weekends Nice .

Speaker 2 2:29

Sorry , okay , enough about that . So do you live out in this area .

Speaker 4 2:33

I live in the Spring Branch area .

Speaker 1 2:35

Okay , just down there . How did ?

Speaker 4 2:38

your house survive all the storms . We had power out for like four days , yeah , and you got it back now . Yes , it is on Well .

Speaker 1 2:43

I flew over that area and I'll tell you what it's toe up over there , as we say toe up . So this storm that came through a derecho .

Speaker 2 2:52

I think that's the way you pronounce it something like that Wind over so many miles .

Speaker 1 3:02

I've never heard of such a thing before , but it gathered up steam out there in the spring Cypress area and it came down , basically generally speaking down highway 290 , and it tore up everything , including those great big , humongous power towers , as we like to call them , where the , with the the main line electricity comes into town from power plants outside Transmission lines . And it crumpled them down on the ground .

Speaker 5 3:29

That bad , that's a problem .

Speaker 1 3:30

Yeah , that is a problem . Matter of fact , they closed 290 , I think , this morning for a half an hour out there between 34th and Mangum to be able to string new lines across the freeway way above . But string them across the freeway , uh it .

Speaker 2 3:46

It has been an absolute nightmare for people and there are still today people living without power yeah , it's not many , but they're still and you feel bad for them because it was almost a million or at a million people when it first initially happened . Uh , thankfully , where we're at , we didn't have power loss no , we , we didn't . My son lost power . He came to live with us for the few days and then , just before the power came out of his house , our air conditioner went out .

Speaker 5 4:13

So things happen , yeah , things happen , but all is good right now .

Speaker 1 4:18

So do you keep the car down in Spring Branch ?

Speaker 4 4:21

I actually store it at the West Houston Airport .

Speaker 1 4:23

Oh , you do . Yeah , I have a friend that has a hangar there , so do you know Stan ? I've met him , yeah , okay , well , stan's out there when they're in town and he has a hangar full of cars out there , so you're in good company out there . Yeah , exactly , and every once in a while we get to land out there and get gas . Every once in a while we get to land out there and get gas , despite Woody and his attitude .

Speaker 4 4:45

I know , woody Do you .

Speaker 1 4:47

Yes , am I right .

Speaker 4 4:49

Well , he's always been very nice to me . I used to take care of his mom's dog . Okay , well , so you got the inside track .

Speaker 1 4:58

I never did . I knew Stan and so that killed that right there . Any kind of relationship with Woody , Anyway , another story for another day . So this is not your first Tailpipes and Tacos . You've been at this event before , haven't ?

Speaker 4 5:11

you . Yes , sir , I have Several times .

Speaker 1 5:13

Yeah , so you're a regular .

Speaker 4 5:16

Well , most people wouldn't call me regular .

Speaker 1 5:20

Well , okay .

Speaker 4 5:21

See , we're irregular .

Speaker 2 5:22

Okay , well then , I fit in Exactly . And Well , okay , see , we're irregular , okay , but then I fit in Exactly .

Speaker 1 5:26

And do you have another car ? Show that you have , because you mentioned to me something in the fall coming up .

Speaker 4 5:32

Yeah , October the 19th at the Old Spring Branch High School in Westview . I believe it's 1916 .

Speaker 1 5:39

And so any particular reason for the club or what ?

Speaker 4 5:43

It supports the foundation of the school . We keep alive the memory of the Bear and we've got a lot of the memorabilia football jerseys , all the brigade uniforms and just the history of the area .

Speaker 5 5:55

Yeah , because the school closed down , right . Well , it's a cornerstone now .

Speaker 4 6:01

So , just part of it , but they let us have the museum and the other part .

Speaker 5 6:05

Yeah , we actually got a little museum set up .

Speaker 1 6:08

I will tell you that , and I'm not going to tell you what year , but you may or may not recognize this , but I remember going from Westbury , where I lived in southwest Houston , and my best friend , he , went to live with his mother in Spring Branch and there was no beltway , there was no loop . It was a North Post Oak or a Post Oak or they turned it a North Post Oak to get to Spring Branch . That's how you got to that part of town . It was a day's drive Well , not a whole day , but you understand what I'm saying it took a while to get up there and understand that .

Speaker 1 6:45

You know , spring Branch was really kind of out in the country when Spring Branch started . Really , yeah , it was out in the country . Well , obviously the city swallowed that up decades ago . Yeah , but it's interesting to see the progression of the way that Houston has grown and Spring Branch back in the 50s , I think , is what it really got going , uh , on the edge of town , um , it was uh , well , a lot of history there , obviously with the high school . Yep , yeah , did you go ? That you went there ?

Speaker 4 7:15

actually I did . You're a spring branch girl , I'm a spring branch girl . Oh my god one of the few left I would imagine oh , there's quite a few of us left over there Still today .

Speaker 1 7:25

That's good . Yeah , are you the only one that's a car nut ?

Speaker 4 7:31

No , there's several others .

Speaker 1 7:32

There are Uh-huh .

Speaker 2 7:33

Are they here with us ?

Speaker 4 7:34

Speaker 5 15:53

Speaker 2 15:58

Speaker 5 16:02

It's an old joke .

Speaker 2 16:03

Yeah , it's a movie , just move on .

Speaker 1 16:05

If you've got to explain it , it's not funny . I see the smile on your face .

Speaker 5 16:09

Because I caught it and I've seen that smile on your face before , for different reasons there you go .

Speaker 1 16:19

Welcome back to the In Wheel Time Car Talk Show . Hey , if you ever want to get in touch with us , here's how to do it Shoot us an email at inwheeltimecom , or you can show up at one of the events that we're going to you , bet you always know where we're going to be . No guns allowed . Please Show up at the studio next week . Inside Jeff's mind , top six states where most of the fatal crashes occur .

Speaker 2 16:44

Yeah , I'm interested . Let me get this going here , michael . There you go , right there You're on .

Speaker 2 16:52

No , you're on no you're on , you're on okay , so you got lead feet . Beware , because this is comes to us from personal injury attorneys set out to determine the states with the most and least high speed fatal crashes , as well as the difference in the fatality rates between traveling between 80 miles an hour and 100 miles an hour . So listen up . They do this by analyzing the data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , or the NHTSA . Number six and I picked the six because Texas made number six During the years that were studied , 2,192 fatal crashes happened in Texas with speeds as the cause . 14% of them were at 80 miles an hour or higher . 5% happened at 100 miles an hour or higher . So slow down , it's a holiday weekend . I'm going to keep saying that .

Speaker 2 17:49

Number five in this . You go to think what's ? Number five Wyoming Wide open spaces . Wyoming had 1% of the vehicles and fatal crashes that were traveling at 100 mph was among the lowest in the US . However , over 14% of the 659 speed-related fatalities occurred at 80 mph . It's an unwanted ranking of being fifth on the list . Number four East Coaster Connecticut . Connecticut may have only 333 fatal vehicle crashes due to speed , but 16% of those and higher were traveling at 80 miles an hour or more . 6% traveled at 100 miles an hour or faster , landing at fourth worst state in the nation for high-speed fatal crashes , Number three , Illinois . 1,300 speed-related fatal crashes occurred in Illinois . 1,300 fatal crashes of that were 16% were traveling at 80 miles per hour .

Speaker 2 18:50

We're on a mission from God , that's it , 6% were traveling at over 100 miles per hour . All in donkey . Here's one that you wouldn't think would be on the list Alaska . Alaska's percentage of vehicles in fatal crashes were traveling at 80 miles per hour .

Speaker 1 19:03

Well , nobody lives there , and those that get on the freeway , that means they're doing . I don't think there's a freeway , I don't think there's a freeway , they got snowmobile tracks 8% .

Speaker 2 19:13

It's less than Montana . Montana was in there , but nevertheless the last frontier statistic is far from the national average 7.5% . Vehicles traveling at 100 miles per hour or more was 6% . The number one state , Montana , has the highest number of high-speed fatal crashes .

Speaker 1 19:32

This is the study .

Speaker 2 19:35

Even though it's a low amount , it's the speed they go at , so they're flying down the roads . Of the 214 speed-related crashes recorded , 30.3% of them occurred at 80 miles per hour and almost 12% at 100 miles per hour . You want to know what the safest state is Washington .

Speaker 1 19:54

The state of lying down is not going anywhere .

Speaker 2 19:58

The evergreen state experienced two fatal crashes at 8 miles an hour .

Speaker 5 20:01

So if you're going to go hauling donkey , go to the Evergreen . State Hauling donkey there you go .

Speaker 1 20:06

Does that make any sense to ?

Speaker 2 20:07

anybody Hauling donkey ? Yeah , it does to me . I'm with you , mike , hang in there .

Speaker 2 20:22

I can't imagine trying to keep up with traffic on I-10 .

Speaker 3 24:08

Yeah , I've had quite a few requests for , you know , top speed .

Speaker 2 24:12

I said I've had it up to 70 . But you drove it here today .

Speaker 3 24:14

Well , I said I had it up to 70 , but that was on the trailer .

Speaker 2 24:19

Yeah , I said I had it up to 70 , but that was on the trailer .

Speaker 3 24:20

Yeah , I was just going to say that sunroof really started to flap . I thought I should probably just ease off a little bit .

Speaker 2 24:25

Put a wing on it If you don't know what an IZETA is .

Speaker 1 24:27

I encourage you to go online , google IZETA and you're going to go . What ?

Speaker 3 24:33

Yeah , or just look up one-door cars , one-door cars . That's it One Door Cars , one Door .

Speaker 1 24:36

Cars . That's it . So for those that don't know , that are listening , maybe , perhaps , to this show on a podcast or are really attuned to things like Izettas Doug , how are you , sir ? It's good to see you that this particular car has one door and you enter from the front of the car and you kind of fall back into it . Will it fit three people ? I think originally the plan was for it to fit three , but I don't know how you would do that two is about it .

Speaker 3 25:07

Yeah , I would say three would be very , very tight , they would have to be very small now ?

Speaker 1 25:12

does it have an automatic transmission ?

Speaker 3 25:14

it's manual . It's a manual two speed . No , it it's a manual Two-speed . No , it's a four-speed and it's left-hand .

Speaker 1 25:19

Okay , oh , and it's completely reversed . That is oh God .

Speaker 3 25:23

One is down , I'd be grinding . Yeah , I'd be grinding .

Speaker 2 25:26

And the left , left and right , two and a half . So all right Upside down and backwards .

Speaker 1 25:32

And the other question that I was going to ask you is do you know the specs on the engine ? Is it a one-cylinder ? It is a one-cylinder , it's a one-cylinder motor and we don't know really the true horsepower of this car , but I would say it's probably not much more than 50 . I would be surprised if it's 50 , if it's that high . All I can think of that comes to mind is Cushman . Are you familiar with a Cushman motorcycle Golf ?

Speaker 3 26:02

carts I've heard of it . Okay , golf carts . A Cushman .

Speaker 1 26:06

I can't read that , david . What does it say ? Does it say how many horsepower it's got ? 12 horsepower , 12 .

Speaker 5 26:14

Top speed of 53 . In a row .

Speaker 3 26:16

It's got 12 in a row . Well , they're from the glue factory .

Speaker 1 26:19

And it says here top speed is 53 . So you've been pushing the red line on that .

Speaker 3 26:24

Well , he was sitting on the trailer .

Speaker 5 26:26

Well it was 70 was on the trailer . Oh , I see that's right being towed .

Speaker 1 26:35

But I've had it up to 50 . That's a Saturday Night Live thing . You wouldn't know anything about that .

Speaker 2 26:39

Hold on , I've got to put the camera back on . Do that again , I can kick .

Speaker 1 26:43

I can stretch . I'm 50 . 50 years old , I need me another one of those bloody cars ?

Speaker 2 26:48

No , you don't .

Speaker 1 26:50

Peter , it's good to talk to you . It's good to see you .

Speaker 3 26:52

I haven Well , yeah , you've got to have more car shows , I guess .

Speaker 1 26:56

And you need to come to these more often .

Speaker 2 26:59

What's it like back here ? It evidently is full and you've got some overflow .

Speaker 3 27:03

This is the most I've ever seen . I know the last one was a rain out . I would have been at this one .

Speaker 1 27:10

Stan spent $5 trillion on advertising through us and that's why everybody's here .

Speaker 3 27:17

Sounds like a government operation . Exactly that's exactly right . Peter , it's great to see you , my friend , good to see you all . Yeah , take care .
