The idea of looking at great movie cars started out as just that, great. But going back through the movies led to a list that quickly got over 50 entries - not all great, but all memorable as central to the movie. So we started paring that list down and came up with a much shorter list of 14 movie cars. Now this is all movie cars, some of which started on TV and became popular enough to be part of a movie. From the movies to the music. One of the groups that has made extensive use of their cars...

Tires are something we often take for granted - they are there and they go round and round unless they do go down. Sometimes that down is in the most inconvenient time, and sometimes dangerous. On this episode, Jeff Dzieken is using his years of experience in the tire industry to help us understand more about our tires, how to better inspect them, and how to take care of them. They are gonn'a wear out, but we can delay that a little with proper maintenance. In our Feature segment, Konrad DeLon...

That thing gott'a HEMI in it? Words that have been uttered on Saturday nights at redlights across the country. The most famous of which is the 426 cu. in. 425 horsepower street version that evolved into several race engines. Konrad Delong has taken a look at the History of the HEMI and leads us on a look back. At various time, since the production of automobiles began, there have been 'styling' attempts that didn't work out like planned. Some of those good ideas that should have stayed as idea...

There are some vehicles that simply catch the imagination, no real rhyme or reason, but we become fascinated with it anyway. The 'Hummer' is one of those vehicles. It has been developed in several different 'forms and trims', with most revolving around a brute force power and style. In 2024, GM plans on the next generation of Hummer, an all EV Hummer. We talk a look at what it is and what it proposed to do. Do you need one? In our Feature segment, Don Armstrong has been in the New Car Showroom ...

Living along the Texas Gulf Coast, stormy weather is pretty common, and an occasional hurricane can create a lot of problems. Not long ago, an area in SE Texas set a national record for rainfall that not only flooded homes but thousands of cars. Some classic cars were destroyed beyond repair and to see all those cars lined up in fields and even at Houston Raceway Park, it would almost make a person sick. So as we head into the heart of hurricane season, we offer a few tips for taking care of th...

We do new car reviews, a lot of new car reviews on In Wheel Time Car Talk. Somewhere around 100, so we see a lot of the newer technology. As we have a limited time to spend with the vehicle, we have to learn really quick, but it is not too bad as the technology varies in how it is access or rather the user interface. So it takes a little adapting, but we adjust. But what is it is a new car, the first new car in a few years? Or maybe a lot of years? The average age on cars being kept is now about...

A lot of corporations 'say' they give back to the community, particularly when they think it makes them look good.

Don't think this is just for someone straight out of high scho...

More than a few of us have thought about selling everything we got and hit'n the road to see what this great country has to offer. Years ago, after getting a little taste of doing freelance auto photography, the idea of grabbing an RV with some satellite internet seems the ideal second career. Fortunately, things didn't work out in that direction, but that is another story for another time. Joining us on this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk is John and Nancy Skelton, a couple that did 'it'. T...

With a cool name like the '12 Kings Car Club', you know it has to be a cool group of auto enthusiasts! Joining us today is Bruce Vanderzyde with information about the club. First thing we asked is about the name - where it comes from. Seems there is a Texas Hwy 12 running through the Texas Hill Country that is a big part of the club 'drives'. Driving is one thing Bruce is very clear on, this club drives their rides that range from early hot rods such as a '32 Ford up to a C8 Corvette on their mo...

Even before COVID the RV market was on the move as more people were enjoying the great outdoors. Add in COVID, and the market for a 'mobile space' that can keep a distance from other people and the market shifted into high gear.

With access to a large cargo area for 'toys' and living space, it can be the best of both worlds. Friend of the show over at Painthou...
