Speaker 4 8:54

She's beautiful , I'm like tweety , tweety , yellow , tweety bird Okay , and motor it's a 350 Chevy engine .

Speaker 1 9:00

You can't put a Chevy in a four . You know what was so weird ? Everybody does .

Speaker 5 9:04

I had a friend that she's got one . She wanted to be my friend on facebook and she's got one and she named it . Uh , orange crush same year , but orange All right . So she was my friend and then we were messaging back and forth and she said my husband wants to know what engine you have in it . I said it's a 350 Chevy . She come back and said my husband said I can't be friends with you . I said bye , felicia .

Speaker 3 9:33

You know , but again she went to jail .

Speaker 2 9:34

That makes the durability of the vehicle for you Exactly you can travel around the country exactly and not have to trailer it .

Speaker 1 9:41

But why the hell ? Why ? Why wouldn't you put up , you know , a 350 Ford in it ?

Speaker 3 9:46

Right , she got to tweak it all the time . Yeah , I mean a ho 302 Would be great in it , 347 stroke with a t5 behind it .

Speaker 2 9:56

But the 350 Chevy , everything's available .

Speaker 3 9:59

Are you gonna any part store ? By the way , I tear it up .

Speaker 1 10:03

You tear it up .

Speaker 3 10:04

Yeah , I'd be out there doing donuts .

Speaker 5 10:06

So I blocked her . No more friend . So .

Speaker 3 10:11

What's nice about the 350 now ? I wish it had a 700 r training . You can do that well , Money yeah we get about 12 miles per gallon on her . It's got a 10 or 12 gallon tank , the 350 turbo , 350 tranny , three speed , and so you don't have the overdrive . So we're out there doing 75 , 80 miles an hour , about three grand .

Speaker 1 10:42

Well , you know , it's funny because this guy here is familiar with all of that . He knows all of that and there is an overdrive that you could put on the end of that transmitter here .

Speaker 3 10:51

Yeah , if you've got the room under there correct . Yeah , you got to like Lerlene , I won't do that . Put a 700 R in , but tunnel work the X frame .

Speaker 1 11:04

Yes for the perfect .

Speaker 3 11:06

Yeah , I got . It Was ordered for that 350 turbo when they built her frame off and it's welded in and she's leather all the way through .

Speaker 2 11:16

Oh no , I have to tear it all down . I don't want to hear vendor on the tail shaft .

Speaker 3 11:21

There's no room to put it there with the X frame . How do ?

Speaker 1 11:24

you put it back there .

Speaker 2 11:25

I don't know .

Speaker 3 11:27

So we're stuck at 10 miles .

Speaker 1 11:29

OK , well , how about ? How about ? A 12 gallon tank no 10 on Lerlene .

Speaker 6 11:33

How about a lawyer every 90 miles .

Speaker 5 11:36

Yeah .

Speaker 3 11:37

Yeah , but Lerlene's cool because when it's slam second gear the front wheels come off the ground about two or three inches .

Speaker 1 11:44

Well , there's that . Yeah , so you know you can't have the whole world , the important things of life , I mean .

Speaker 3 11:50

Tweety's pretty fast .

Speaker 1 11:52

I mean , people are just like big eyes , but you know , on the other hand two and I'm not dissing anything that you guys got the other hand two . Really , to me , it's more about the look Exactly how often are you going to pull the ? Where are you going to pull the front wheels off the ground , except the drag strip , or you know some back road somewhere ?

Speaker 3 12:12

Walk down there and just look at her . She's got the look . Well , no , I know that .

Speaker 5 12:18

That's what I'm saying , that's for sure .

Speaker 2 12:20

So don't worry about pulling the front wheels off the ground , put up , put a higher rear end in there and it jumps out and says look at me , it's very , and the wide whites really set

Tweety Truck and Car Enthusiasts

Speaker 2 12:30

Speaker 5 12:30

Yeah , I was going to put on the side wheel . I was going to put like a cover on it of Tweety . I said no . I don't want to take her . Look away from her , that's her .

Speaker 1 12:40

That's the gray one . Yes , no no , no , yeah , I'm sorry . Yeah , well , you know you got two cars here , I get a little good .

Speaker 3 12:47

No , we only brought here . We were going to bring her , let me , let me ask you more , but she was leaking , we couldn't bring her .

Speaker 2 12:54

But Lerlene has one . There's nothing worse than a leaky Tweety tailpipe syntakos in the past . Right , I've been there .

Speaker 5 13:00

I'm going to tell you how much I love my truck . My husband asked me , honey , what kind of vehicle you want , or Mercedes , bmw or Lexus ? I said none of the above I will take either . We were looking for either a 38 to a 41 . He looked all over , Tried to find him , couldn't find anything . So Larry Townsend was at a car show .

Speaker 3 15:58

In Brian .

Speaker 5 15:59

In Brian . He saw a sign that she was for sale . The man's name , $30,000 or best offer phone number . And he was so good he even took pictures up underneath and everything . Send them to me , Send them to him .

Speaker 1 16:16

We love pictures from underneath .

Speaker 5 16:17

Right and I send them to my honey and I says he kept looking , Couldn't find anything . He couldn't find anything . So I said , well , what about the truck that I sent you , the 30 , the yellow truck ? And when he saw it he said , oh yeah , I forgot about that . So we called the man in Brian , Texas , and the only reason why he was selling Tweety is because he was elderly and he had back problems and he would have to lay down to get into her . And we're hell yes .

Speaker 4 16:50

Generally the way it's done .

Speaker 1 16:52

I'll raise my hand to that .

Speaker 4 16:54

Yes . I am elderly and I'm way down to get it and that's generally the way it's done .

Speaker 5 16:59

We're going to keep the tradition , to make sure we lay in it , okay .

Speaker 1 17:02

Yes , absolutely Do you have a back seat or no ?

Speaker 5 17:06

No back seat . We don't need no damn back seat . No , you don't need no back seat . All you need is one seat .

Brazil on 11-5 and Vegas on 11-19 . And then IMPSA is at the Petite Lamonts at Road Atlanta on 10-14 . That's pretty much the bulk of it . There , you go , it's all right .

Speaker 1 22:00

Very good , all right Time . Now we're going to get to Jeff's feature on get this .

Andretti Cadillac's Formula 1 Entry

Speaker 1 22:06

And I have to tell you , jeff , this one drew my attention when you said to me you said Andretti , first of all Andretti , and then F1 , but wait , cadillac , are you ?

Speaker 4 22:20

kidding . Well , you know , I wasn't a big F1 fan to begin with .

Speaker 4 22:23

I know I mean I like it because of certain things going on , but Andretti was handed a major boost in the battle to join the F1 grid . We're going to do this right now , and there it is . So Andretti Cadillac reportedly the final remaining contender to join the Formula 1 grid , while the governing body of the FIA finally threw throughout the other three applicants . While existing teams are far from comfortable with the idea of the new outfit entering the equation , is no surprise that the interest is a high . This is current , yeah , high perspective came from the .

Speaker 1 22:54

Formula 1s .

Speaker 4 22:54

Oh my God , I had no clue , Because business is booming With the FIA having lost the expressions of interest . Now that's important to know , because for teams looking to join , there's only one team standing and that's Andretti Cadillac . Meanwhile , the Southeast Asian teams failed to do this . They failed to join the FIA and the FIA says you know what ? You can resubmit some stuff , and FIA is Formula 1 . Right .

Speaker 6 23:18

And we're going to get to that at the very end of this Governing body .

Speaker 4 23:20

Yeah , Governing body , but they rejected them all . You can redo it . You can redo the applications . What we're not going to take is sorry , go away Bye-bye . For next year , the door Well , this is actually for 25 . The door remains open for Andretti , the vocal of the prospective F1 teams , and received a major boost when they secured a partnership with General Motors brand Cadillac . So that was the clincher .

Speaker 4 23:44

I like it , I know you do the reception of the interest in the Formula 1 remains cold among certain teams . The FIA official stated that teams which can contribute to the growth of the series will be accepted , and Formula 1 having the final say on any new teams entering . In response to these Andretti , they're moving closer to receiving the green light and one of the supporters is McLaren . Mclaren said they're supporting the Cadillac and Andretti . Why that's ?

Speaker 1 24:17

because that's a competitor .

Speaker 4 24:18

There's a $200 million anti-dilution fee . That's what you have to pay to get noticed and other teams pay it , and when you pay the $200 million , that $200 million is divided up among the existing teams . The 10 existing teams , exactly so they all get money for new people coming in Mercedes a Toto Wolf . One of the major opponents Toto Toto Wolf is the management team for Mercedes . The 10 teams sticking together seem to survive the pandemic era and subsequently survive . So they're not really hip on Andretti joining .

Speaker 2 24:59

And some of that's caused by the revenue sharing of Formula 1 right now .

Speaker 4 25:02

And that's where the $200 million comes in . All the revenue is split between 10 teams .

Speaker 4 25:06

So if this happens and Andretti clears all the rest of the hurdles which it looks like they will do that then they'll be joining as soon as 2025 . So who is the FIA ? The FIA is the Federation Internationale de Automobile , that's how they pronounce it . It's the governing body of numerous racing competitions worldwide . The organization does not own F1 , but they do organize racing events . In addition to arbitrating , they do competitive disputes , and the FIA also handles safety regulations . That is so cool , yeah .

Speaker 2 25:39

Oh , my God . And that would make the second American team in Formula 1 , because Jery Haas is the . They've been in F1 now for a number of years .

Speaker 4 25:50

I think they're more engines , but they're more engines .

Speaker 2 25:54

This is the whole package . So Cadillac's bringing an engine . I thought they were using a Toyota or a .

Speaker 4 26:00

Honda engine Film at 11 , more to come .

Speaker 1 26:03

Speaker 2 26:21

Yeah , you got to son Marco . Marco is , you know , qualified driver . I mean , is he gonna be part of that ? I don't know . I'd like to see Marco join . That . That would be very , very cool . I don't know , ready family . I'll tell you what I'm excited . I'm excited , yeah , I'm .
