In Wheel Time Podcast Video

Ever since the automobile first putt-putted down the road, there have been a lot of people that found a lot of ways to use a vehicle.  Some make the headlines, some make a great movie, but most go just under the radar. In steps Crispian Besley, lifelong auto fan, and first time author.  The work is appropriately called 'Driven to Crime' with 60 chapters that looks at real events.  It includes it all - cars, sex, drugs, cars, theft, fraud, and more cars.  We nominate it for Netflix Series!

Sometimes we wonder who really comes up with an OEM 'car name'. We like to think that in many cases, it is designed to have some sort of intelligence built in to help the consumer distinguish that model from others. Other times, it really is a marketing idea. Regardless of how it happens, there are some really 'funny' car names... ---- ----- Want more In Wheel Time Car Talk any time? In Wheel Time Car Talk is now available on iHeart Radio!

For the last few years, car sales have been down down down...for a lot of reasons that are generally traced back to the pandemic for starters.  Supply chain issues followed, then just getting parts for the supply chain helped create a lot of vacant concrete at dealers across the country.   In Houston, it is the Houston Automobile Dealers Association that helps dealers with some of these issues.  By banding together, the competitors are able to help each other through the tough times that impact them all.  Working together to find a solution is often easier than doing it alone. Joining us on this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk is the Chairman of the association with an update on new vehicles sales and how some the area dealers are surviving in this market. In our Feature Segment, Master ASE tech Konrad Delong has the 'Car Clinic' and we are talking transmission fluid.  Some of the myths and some of the reality as to why we need to change that fluid that performs three important f…

There are all kinds of statistics and reports and data that will attest to a young man's fascination with automobiles.  Most of the time, particularly with teen drivers, it is not so good, but it is there.    Joining us on this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk is Jonathon Eckelberg, the 'driving force' behind the High School Racing Association.  Also joining us is Curtis Hellickson, a young man that is an actual high school racer. On the surface, this may seem counterproductive as it relates to teen drivers, however, once the rules are understood, and the actual action is understood, there is a lot to be gained by these young people.  In fact, the association is a growing idea that is reaching out to additional states. In our feature segment, Jeff Dziekan takes another look at how technology can be our friend - the GM Tow Dolly.  What is it and what does it do?

Short track oval racing is a form of motorsport that takes place on oval-shaped tracks typically less than one mile in length.  Unlike other forms of racing, short track oval racing creates an emphasis  on driver skill and strategy over outright speed due to the track layout.  Short track oval racing is also known for its grassroots nature, with local tracks and regional series creating an unofficial farm league the is playing a role in the growth of the sport. So there is a long history, even though it is regional in nature with local champions and even local 'announcers' that become part of the show.  Joining us on this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk is Rodney Rodriguez, a long time racing fan, regional historian, and an accomplished track announcer/race caller.  Rodney works across the southern regions where they have both kinds of oval racing - asphalt and dirt. Rodney takes a break from his Revved Up Sports Show to join us with some updates on how the short track oval raci…

Reading the headlines, it is very easy to think that an EV - Electric Vehicles - doesn't have the same maintenance issues or schedules that an internal combustion engine vehicle has.  That is somewhat true, however, due to the very nature of being 'electric', the EV has some very different maintenance concerns that still include cooling systems, fluids, and some very special safety tools that are required by a truly certified EV tech. Joining us is the Senior VP of Operations for Opus IVS, a support/training/knowledge data base organization who will share some eye opening aspects of maintaining an EV.  Sure an EV is quiet and quick, but it is also heavier than the ICE vehicle equivalent so wear and tear is 'different' for starters. Join us to hear more from this aspect of EVs professionals that doesn't make the headlines.

Camping and RVing has long been a family tradition.  Many people started with the idea of simply getting away to nature.  Back when the family truckster was a station wagon, folding the seats down and sleeping there was an easy start.  From there, an upgrade to a tent and the associated gear to eat and sleep in nature came into play. For many of us, roughing it is a cheap motel, but for others, a luxury RV is the only way to go.  Some people even go to the point of living in their RV, traveling around this big country of ours.  It is always a challenge to find the next stop, the next campground or sight to see.  Books, maps, even a big road atlas became to tools to find tomorrow. Technology is our friend...sometimes.  Scott Lengel, CEO of AdventureGenie joins us with an example of how technology is not only our friend, but might just become an important part of 'living' in an RV.  Join us to hear more about this fascinating development and learn what it might mean for your next RV e…

Always considered a 'workhorse', the Toyota Sequoia is a 3-row full-size SUV that can haul and tow with the best of them. Always appealing to the utilitarian consumer, the new Sequoia can now appeal to the consumer that is looking for working luxury with all new designs. With new lines inside and out, along with updates at the touchpoints, some updates to the technology, and a hybrid choice under the hood, this ain't your MIL's Sequoia any more. Don Armstrong had a chance to check out the newest Toyota Sequoia and he is sharing his thoughts in the New Car Showroom on this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk.

Towing down the highway is not so bad, making turns with a trailer can be interesting, but again, not so bad. But let's talk about boat ramps, or maybe an RV park where backing comes into play ... and play it seems to be for some people. GM may have a new 'dolly' that can help with those times when some extra skills are needed, or maybe just needing a little rust kicked off the trailer hitch. Jeff Dziekan shares what he found about the GM Tow Dolly. ---- ----- Want more In Wheel Time Car Talk any time? In Wheel Time Car Talk is now available on iHeart Radio!
