UAW Negotiations and Ship Fire Impact

Speaker 1 0:02

Welcome to another In Wheel Time podcast , a 30 minute mini version of the In Wheel Time car show that airs live every Saturday morning 8 to 11am , central From Studio A at the world famous Sugar Shack in Texas , usa . It's the In Wheel Time car talk show Coming up . Tim Haffey , president of the Lone Star Jeep Club , we hope is going to join us because , once again , thank you , xfinity , for the hit that we took . I'm telling you I'm going to get rid of them and I'm going to write a nasty letter . I got a friend of mine that works for them and I'm going to write a nasty letter , not him . Reference the friend , no , I'm going to write it to him and let him deal with it because I'm going away . It's been a nice date , but I'm done with these people .

Speaker 3 0:52

At least you got screwed .

Speaker 1 0:53

You got the upcoming events calendar . I'm sore too . Mars reviews the new Kia Soul GT . Plus , you'll hear about the stories making automotive news headlines . Howdy along with Mike out of this world , mars , who's too busy to even do anything else other than what he's doing . King Conrad DeLong I'm Don Armstrong , jeff's on vacation , family reunion up in Michigan , who'll be back with us again next week . Okay , I didn't want to do a story and this is probably a good time to do it while Mars is trying to get the guest on from the Lone Star Jeep Club .

Speaker 1 1:29

United Auto Workers seek more than 40% wage gains from the Detroit 3 . Sources say it's from automotive news . The gains would include a 20% raise upon ratification . I'd like a 20% raise , followed by 5% raises each year of the four-year deal , according to the people who requested anonymity discussing the negotiations . I didn't do it , I didn't squeal . Uaw seeking from the Detroit 3 automakers a more than 40% pay raise for its workforce Geez . Uaw President Sean Fain , speaking to automotive news earlier on Thursday , said the CEOs of the big three over the last four-year agreement have enjoyed a 40% increase in pay on average .

Speaker 3 2:17

So Mary Barra makes $29 million a year .

Speaker 1 2:20

So I don't think our workers asking for their equitable share . When inflation has gone up almost 20% in the last four years , I don't think that it's asking a lot for our members to look for their fair share .

Speaker 3 2:31

Thank , you Bidenomics ? Their cost of living goes up . How about the CEOs and 40% ?

Speaker 1 2:38

raise voted for them because they're in Detroit Fain on Thursday also told automotive news . The union would seek a 32-hour work week with 40 hours worth of pay . Okay .

Speaker 3 2:53

Yes , and the cost of your car is about to go up . Yeah , not only that , but and you're going to get less of them .

Speaker 1 3:00

Yeah , and if there's a strike , you know all of the inventory that they've been begging to have on their lots .

Speaker 3 3:10

There's a big nose dive , it takes a nose dive , which means the price of cars is going to go up again . Yeah , that's Not any good . And you know what ? Mary Barra still makes $29 million a year . That really annoys you , doesn't ? It Absolutely drives me out of my mind , and she got a raise last year .

Speaker 1 3:29

The Detroit three automakers aren't the only ones worried about contract talks with the UAW . The entire automotive supply chain is sweating the potential of a strike , because what we what most people don't realize is that car manufacturers actually don't manufacture the parts for the most part . No , it's components , right , and they're assemblers . They assemble the components . So all of the millions of people that supply parts for the automotive manufacturers assemblers they will be affected as well . For the larger tier one suppliers , a halt in vehicle production would result in millions of dollars in financial losses in short order , according to the companies From automotive news , some suppliers have tightened up spending and baked potential losses into forecasts for the second half of the year . Lear , the global seeding supplier , has painful memories of the GM strike in 2019 . The six week work stoppage will , which cost the automaker about $4 billion all told , cost Lear $70 to $75 million each week .

Speaker 3 4:40

And Mary Barris still got $29 million a year . Let that go .

Speaker 1 4:44

We got it , we get it . And the other big news of the week that I wanted to get in remember the ship fire I told you about two weeks ago ? Well , actually last week . Rolls Royce has a number of vehicles of its super luxury cars aboard the ship that went up in flames off the Dutch coast a week ago . Well , both BMW and Mercedes Benz have confirmed they have several hundred cars on the Fremantle Highway . That's the ship's name . Neither have offered specific breakdowns by brand or model . Around five am on Thursday , the Fremantle Highway started to be towed to Eameshaven , which is a seaport in the north of the Netherlands . The Fremantle Highway's cargo loss is estimated at more than three hundred and thirty million dollars , and that's a tie into my auto history story of the Lotus submarine .

Speaker 3 5:35

All these cars are going to become submarines .

Speaker 1 5:37

Yeah , well , they're towing it . So apparently what ? They're towing it out of the shipping lane , they're hoping to get it to a port . Is it to burn hulk ? That's all it is . Have you seen a picture of it ? Yes , oh , it's scary . Charter company K-Line said Friday there were three thousand seven hundred and eighty three vehicles on board the ship , including four hundred and ninety eight battery vehicles , significantly more than the twenty five initially reported .

Speaker 3 6:03

You mean the government lied to us ? No , I wouldn't assume they would ever lie to us .

Speaker 1 6:10

Welcome to the Bitter Man's Hotline here on the Inwheel Time .

Speaker 3 6:14

And Mary Barrett still making twenty nine million dollars and they're going to screw the union .

Speaker 1 6:21

Moving on . You know I like to do these Hemmings Motor News Marketplace . They sell cars through an auction or you know , whatever the case may be , but so sold cars round up is the headline . Usually comes on Sunday after the end . So here was one that sold beautiful , nineteen seventy six . Cadillac El Dorado probably one of the prettiest Cadillacs they ever made . Convertible what about last year for the convertible ? Convertible is red , beautiful . I'll show you a picture .

Speaker 1 6:56

Thirty two thousand , I would say twenty five thirty two thousand one hundred twenty nine Sold the dog . Here's one that kind of surprised me in nineteen sixty nine , amc , amx , you want to guess ? Cool car , cool car .

Speaker 3 7:11

Yeah , I said you had no backseat . No , it didn't , it was a two seater . Yeah , I'd say in good shape , probably about forty , thirty three , six , yeah , nice car .

Speaker 1 7:23

Here is another Cadillac , the Alante . Oh my God , mike , you know that your microphone is on when you do that . It's really loud .

Speaker 3 7:32

And depending on the year of the Alante . What a pile .

Speaker 1 7:36

Nineteen ninety Cadillac Alante it sold for Six thousand three thousand five hundred dollars . Beautiful car I liked it .

Speaker 3 7:48

You know , when Cadillac originally sold those , they came with a guarantee of resale value equal to the Mercedes SL of the same generation which is what they were competing against at the time .

Speaker 1 8:01

And it was built at the Corvette factory .

Speaker 3 8:03

Yeah .

Speaker 1 8:05

And it has Corvette components under the skin On the Alante not really .

Speaker 3 8:10

No , no , the XLR was Corvette . Ok , sorry , the Alante was actually built in Hamtramek and it was to a large degree . A lot of componentry was coming out of the Seville .

Speaker 1 8:20

Oh , I'm sorry , I mixed it up . Yeah , yeah .

Speaker 3 8:22

But the XLR was C6 Corvette .

Speaker 1 8:27

Well , here's another Cadillac this would be for Jeff , a nineteen , ninety one Cadillac , deville . Is that the four , six , eight , eight , six , four , engine Ninety one , ninety one ?

Speaker 3 8:37

Yeah , it could be . You know that you engine was so useless you couldn't even use it for a boat motor because it wasn't heavy enough . There's all .

Speaker 1 8:44

I mean a boat anchor . A boat anchor .

Speaker 3 8:46

Yeah .

Speaker 1 8:47

Boat anchor yeah , boat anchor . But you know what ? I would think that you'd be able to put you some sort of a nice V8 in that thing .

Speaker 3 8:54

Like Jeff said , put it , put an LS in it and tub it . Tub it out , yeah .

Speaker 1 8:58

So for four thousand five hundred dollars . Beautiful car . Matter of fact , I think that I had one , it wasn't it . Mine was a coupe Deville , so two .

Speaker 3 9:07

Cadillacs for under seven grand . Yeah , the Alante and the Deville , and between the two of them . Maybe it could make one of them run and marry who ? Mary Barrett still makes twenty nine million dollars .

Speaker 1 9:19

He nineteen seventy seven Chevrolet Corvette , dear to my heart , had absolutely no horsepower . This is a yellow one . It looks like it doesn't even Does it have . It looks like it's got trim rings and center caps , so it was a base model that appears . Six thousand twelve thousand , that's a lot . It is a lot for that car because it had no horsepower . Of course this is not an L.82 . It didn't have the Jim Connors suspension , it had nothing other than .

Speaker 3 9:47

But it's still a Corvette , yeah , and for that it carries value . Yeah To somebody .

Speaker 1 9:52

I love the car . When I bought it , you know , I ordered it . Bought it brand new in October of nineteen seventy six , ordered it from the factory , took forever to get here , anyway , through Richardson Chevrolet . No , actually I bought it at Peacock Chevrolet .

Speaker 3 10:09

Peacock Chevrolet , which is now it's Mackay , mackay yeah .

Speaker 1 10:15

Sixty four Chevrolet El Camino . Love it , squared , boxy kind of car man . I used to think that thing .

Speaker 3 10:24

Probably a two , eighty , three Probably a , two , eighty three .

Speaker 1 10:27

Now it's painted an ugly color . It's kind of that champagne brown , beige , whatever you want to call it . Want to guess how much they got for it . Fourteen , twenty , six thousand two hundred fifty dollars might have been the night's car , it could be .

Speaker 3 10:41

I mean , at that price it better be a night's car , Exactly .

Speaker 1 10:45

I don't know all those details . I got one for you An old bubble , a nineteen , sixty three Oldsmobile , starfire , cool car , convertible , very cool car .

Speaker 5 10:59

Can you hear me OK ?

Speaker 1 11:00

Oh my gosh , I can hear somebody , and we're going to get them on the air here in just a minute .

Speaker 3 11:04

Yeah , the Starfire was Oldsmobile's version of the Pontiac Grand Prix . Kind of the performance B body boat .

Speaker 1 11:13

And it's in that light pink . It's got a gray stripe down that it looks and it's stainless steel Panel . Oh , it's beautiful , sold price . Is your turn ?

Speaker 3 11:26

18 29 for yeah , then you can actually get that with 394 cubic inch . He said 63 . Yeah , I think you could still get the dual quads in it . I .

Speaker 1 11:41

You know that's really romantic and all for us car guys but it was a performance motor , I know , but what a pain in the butt that is to carburetors .

Speaker 3 11:53

But they weren't , but they weren't . Rochester quadra jets .

Speaker 1 11:55

What doesn't make any difference to carburetors , to the car . With two carburetors on it , hell , I can't even tune it with one , much less to true .

Speaker 3 12:05

Cool car though .

Speaker 1 12:07

Oh my gosh , here's one for you a 1947 Chevrolet style master , painted bright red . It's a two-door car , okay , and they've got wide whites on it . Is that the fastback ? Yeah , yeah , and I Would be interested in this , seriously , I would . A 1947 Chevy style master .

Speaker 3 12:30

It sold for $21,000 and it had a trunk you could carry a 15 Jimmy Hoffa's in pretty much and , you know , put some AC in it and because it wasn't available back then now ?

Speaker 1 12:45

well , you know that . Put some AC in it and just a regular Plane Jane LS motor in it for reliability . Put you a nice I don't know six-speed automatic transmission in it . Fix it so you could get it all in there . What a cruiser that would be . Ah , ah , stunning . So for $21,000 , not bad . 57 metropolitan oh gosh . I Thought that car was ugly when it was new . It's even uglier today . $7,000 , 2007 Ford Shelby 2007 .

Speaker 3 13:22

2007 Ford Shelby doesn't say 350 500 , none of that , I'll say something north of 50 , maybe in the 70s $89,000 are yours . 2007 Aston Martin DB 9 2007 yeah , 30 grand $42,000 it's amazing that depreciated value of some of those $100,000 cars of the 80s and 90s yeah , you can buy cheap .

Speaker 1 13:52

But well , some of some of the cars that I mentioned , like that , that 42 . I'd buy that car tomorrow . It's in my price range . Ron Mahaffey is with the and he is the president of the Lone Star Jeep Club . Ron , sorry about the problems that we had getting you on today . I know that you called in early and you also . Uh , is he there , mr Mars ? Yep , can you be okay , we can hear you , but we just can't see that . Can we see him now ?

Jeep Models and Club Activities Discussion

Speaker 6 14:37

we have jubber got a couple of members with me . Outstanding members of the club drew burg just up , why he is one of the guys that has a 392 . He might be interested in talking to him , and then Bobby McCracken , and as part of our club as well . So , hey , first of all , I want to thank you for having us on this morning . We really appreciate the opportunity to talk and we could talk probably for three days about jeeps well , we know that , yeah , we're jeep people too .

Speaker 1 15:04

They actually got our show going in the early days and we appreciate all that they do . And uh , jim Morrison with jeep , a great guy . And uh , yeah , if you've never met him , you need to take a time to to meet him . He doesn't go to many car shows and I don't know exactly where you are , but if if he's going to make an appearance at the houston auto show this year , he would behoove you to meet him , great guy , and get some insight on your jeep brand .

Speaker 6 15:34

So I assume that everybody's got wranglers uh , wranglers and cj's across the board , so I'm in some buggies . So we don't care what you have , as long as it's a jeep . So , um , yeah now you ?

Speaker 1 15:47

you are a , a statewide club , is that correct ?

Speaker 6 15:52

we are . Yeah , so we're primarily the north texas area here in dallas , but we have members drew actually moved to missouri , so we're extending into missouri now . But yeah , we're a statewide club but primarily we're based in dallas .

Speaker 1 16:07

But we will all over the state and beyond uh , did you guys have anything to do with the ? Uh go topless weekend down there at to crystal beach ?

Speaker 6 16:16

uh , no , uh , some of our members went there , but that wasn't an lsj c sponsored event thank goodness , yeah , exactly that's what I was going to say .

Speaker 1 16:24

You know . You know it's too much mayhem and um . That's not what the jeep clubs that I am aware of are into yep , you're exactly right , so we believe in that too we're up there on the north side .

Speaker 3 16:38

Do you guys what you call wheel ? What kind of uh locations are available for you to go jeeping in ?

Speaker 6 16:46

well , we've got a place in oklahoma crossbar . It's in davis , um . We do a polar express run there in january . The picture you see in the zoom background is a picture of our ride . We have there , and you know um january , so you can see we have quite a few jeeps in that line . So we go to crossbar , we go to bridgeport , um . We go to barnwell mountain recreational area out in gilmer we go down to hidden falls . We're going to maris , um a new up and coming park that's phenomenal . Up around amarillo we do kathempsie rocks um claymore , up in oklahoma , um . And then we go beyond . Maybe this year we went to moab in the spring and maris and next year we're headed to win rock tenancy in the fall .

Speaker 3 17:33

So , um so did you , did , your , did your club kind of caravan to moab as a group , because I know that's one of the jeep holy grail places to go yes , we did .

Speaker 6 17:44

Yeah , we caravan as a group , we we spent . Uh , drew was with us , so jerry's probably talked a little bit about it too , but um , not long enough . Seven great days in in no end .

Speaker 1 17:55

Well , we , you know , as much as I would love to talk about that , I'd rather talk to drew about his 392 in that jeep wrangler bud . Wow , that thing's not a lot of fun , oh yeah a lot of fun I'd believe me . I . I had one one time out of the press fleet and I'm going . Hmm , I wish I'd have thought of that .

Speaker 5 18:15

I wish Jeep had done it sooner . It's something everybody had been asking for quite a long time and it's an absolute riot . Even with about 400 pounds of steel and 37 inch tires , it's still plenty fast for a 6,000 pound suicide machine that it is .

Speaker 1 18:33

Well , I will tell you this . My thought immediately goes to anybody that had and don't this is not a putdown of the v6 or the fours or any of the old engines , but this , sir , is one of those that you need to order the kit . If there's not a kit , then you need to make one yourself by the engine . Just buy the engine , put it in the corner if you don't have anything else to put it in , but preferably a Wrangler , because that's my cup of tea .

Speaker 5 18:59

It is a lot of fun . I do not regret it and , if anything , I wish I had bought one sooner . Even hemi swapping sooner .

Speaker 1 19:07

Now , now forgive me because I'm really not up to date on the latest and greatest from Jeep , but do they still offer the 392 ?

Speaker 5 19:16

They do still offer the 392 . It's out for the 2024 model , which has the mid-year Recycle with , like , the new infotainment screen and all the big stuff on it , and there's actually dealers out there right now that are doing up to seven thousand dollars off MSRP if you order through them .

Speaker 1 19:31

Seven thousand off of MSRP as opposed to seven thousand over MSRP . That's interesting .

Speaker 5 19:38

Yeah , or you could go buy a Bronco and pay over a hundred and five thousand dollars for it and have the zero to sixty speed of like a Honda Odyssey and still not have a hammy .

Speaker 2 19:49

I'm not gonna say anything , but I just got out of one . Got out of what a Rubicon 392 . Yeah well , why aren't ? You gonna say anything , mars , because I was waiting to drift To needle you a little bit more about it .

Speaker 1 20:01

I'm thinking , oh my god , he's always gotten more tickets on this . No , no , no .

Speaker 3 20:06

Just saying so . Do they still do the ? Was it a track Hawk version ?

Speaker 5 20:14

You know that's a good question . I don't know , I haven't actually seen one in several years .

Speaker 4 20:18

That's in the other . That's in the other Jeep vehicles like the renegade and stuff like that . You'll see the track Hawk badge on the back .

Speaker 5 20:25

Well , the track is supercharged .

Speaker 3 20:30

The hell cat motor .

Speaker 1 20:31

Yeah , now this the 392 . It's interesting because I'll tell you a little story . I think they call it the super B . Is that what it was ? Didn't they label it as the super B in the in the challenge challenge ?

Speaker 2 20:43

or a charger or whatever it was .

Speaker 1 20:44

Yeah , and I and it came with a six speed manual transmission and that combination was just perfect for moi . I will tell you that because you know everybody wants the supercharged engine and granted , I get it , I'm all over it , it's a lot it's . It's it's too much for the street in my opinion and Granted , I'm an older guy now when I was in my 20s and 30s it would have been la , la , la , yeah , great , let's get that . But the 392 just seems to fit really well in my lifestyle . Well like .

Speaker 2 21:19

Drew said it drives real well to extra weight up front and I surprisingly going down at my highway speeds Even with a 14 gear . It was a nice driver so so , bobby , what do you got sitting over there kind of quiet .

Speaker 4 21:35

I'm a simple man . I've got a two door 2018 JL with the six cylinder in it .

Speaker 2 21:43

That's the inline six , isn't it ? No , I love it to death . It's the best thing I've ever done .

Speaker 4 21:45

It's a death , it's the v6 .

Speaker 1 21:47

Okay , I had to start so what do you guys think about the new inline six that they're gonna offer ? No kind like from anybody .

Speaker 5 21:59

Inline six .

Speaker 6 22:00

They offered the only line six is amazing . I don't know . I think the jury's out on that one , but I'm not like Bobby . I'm running the minivan engine in my jail .

Speaker 1 22:09

But yeah , well , I think back in 1980 I bought a brand new Jeep that had a Pontiac four cylinder in it . Do you remember those ?

Speaker 3 22:22

The the iron Duke . I don't think they're old enough . It was pretty useless . Thanks for playing shut up . Strong as we go back into the Jeep archives

Rock Crawling and Off-Road Events

Speaker 3 22:41

.

Speaker 1 22:41

Yeah , yeah , yeah , way back when World War two is a matter of any of you guys do any of the competitions .

Speaker 3 22:47

You know the the rock crawling competitions with your Jeeps .

Speaker 6 22:52

No , I'm not a daily driver , so I'm not . I'm not risking that . But another member and I were talking about Don't , the 24 hours of help . I'm trying to get a sponsor for that to do that . One point so , but we don't know , we don't . I haven't done any of that .

Speaker 1 23:08

Now wait just a minute . Yeah , back up . Did you say the 24 hours of hell ?

Speaker 6 23:15

Yes , Well please fill us in . That's a . It's an event and you get a lot of . You know it's very technical , it looks like a lot of fun and it's 24 hours . You had a partner in a small pit crew 24 hours to get through all these obstacles . And we're not talking about dirt roads , we're talking about some technical , technical things to get over . It looks like a lot of fun . If you break something , you've got to wear a pink helmet . If you get winced out , you've got to wear a pink helmet . And then you know at the end you get your prize , money and stuff . But it looks really cool .

Speaker 1 23:55

So what is there ? Is there a club or organization that puts this on ?

Speaker 6 24:00

I think it's called 24 hours at hell . I can go send that to you . But yeah , they've been doing it for quite a while , and where is it held ? On various places . I think last year or the year before it was in Oklahoma .

Speaker 2 24:14

That's appropriate .

Speaker 1 24:16

Mars has connections in Oklahoma and that wasn't a put down . It's just that he can relate .

Speaker 2 24:21

Yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . So we have to check that out , we're going to check that out . So , before we run out of time , are y'all located together , since you're a statewide group , or y'all scattered out , the three of you ?

Speaker 6 24:34

I'm from Missouri , but Bobby and I are in Dallas .

Speaker 2 24:37

Okay , okay , do you ever ?

Speaker 4 24:39

make it . I'm on the other side of Dallas from Tim .

Speaker 1 24:41

Yeah , the other side of Dallas .

Speaker 6 24:43

The other side of Dallas .

Speaker 1 24:45

Yeah , y'all ever make it down to Houston . Y'all ever do anything down here with the Jeep clubs .

Speaker 5 24:51

I know we have some members from Houston .

Speaker 6 24:53

Yeah , some members from Houston . The closest we get to Houston is Hidden Falls , that's around the Austin area but right , really down to Houston . But I mean I've been to Houston .

Speaker 1 25:02

What happens in Hidden Falls ? I've never even heard of that either .

Speaker 6 25:06

That's a great part .

Speaker 1 25:08

Yeah .

Speaker 2 25:09

It's a big off road park up there Outside of marble falls actually .

Speaker 6 25:12

So , you guys are yeah , we have a sign of marble falls on that inside of marble .

Speaker 1 25:15

So y'all's fun is this , this slow events , the rock crawling , the technical type of stuff yeah , that's fun . So apparently you bring a spotter with you .

Speaker 4 25:29

We're all spotters .

Speaker 6 25:30

We're all spotters . One thing about this club is everybody helps everybody out on the streets Sure , sure . Yeah , okay .

Speaker 3 25:38

So the typical of the Jeep community is you know you want to do some upgrades on your Jeep . Let me invite you know club members over . I'll bring some adult beverages and everybody sits around and helps do the upgrades up until the adult beverages are fully consumed .

Speaker 1 25:53

Well , I'll tell you , we had , back when I was a member of the of the Texas Auto Riders Association , the fall event Kimberly Schultz with Christ , who would always bring at least one or two Wranglers . One of them got put into the river . That went through the park , oh yeah , yeah .

Speaker 1 26:10

But the other one . They had a really tough rock crawling section that in this particular area where we were , you went up and then you made an immediate left , and an immediate left again is kind of like a big U turn up over a rock and everybody loved that thing and they had to have a spotter there because if you got just a little bit off by a couple of inches you would have had a big gash down the side of the body of that thing , Even if you had rock rails on it .

Speaker 4 26:41

That's your cup of tea out there .

Speaker 6 26:43

That's it , yeah , yeah , you fix it . Go out , break it , come back , fix it . We've got scratches on our Jeep . I'm running under these set of axles , bobby's not upgrades , you know just to rock crawl . So yeah , that's , that's . It's not a . We go past them all , so yeah .

Speaker 3 27:02

Well , and then there's so much aftermarket accessories and upgrades available for the Jeep product .

Speaker 5 27:09

It's kind of mind boggling .

Speaker 3 27:10

Yeah , as far as how much is available to upgrade your Jeep .

Speaker 1 27:13

So do you guys have a connection with any one Jeep club here in the Houston area ?

Speaker 6 27:20

We have some members actually in Houston as part of our clubs , so we don't have any connections with other Jeep clubs in Houston .

Speaker 1 27:27

Okay , got you Okay . So we're going to reach out to you guys . You have a website or you got a Facebook page .

Speaker 6 27:35

Yeah , we have a Facebook page . One star Jeep club group was our Facebook group and then we have a Facebook page as well .

Speaker 3 27:43
