God's Garage - an interview with Brad Thompson, automotive volunteer!
Christmas 'tis the season for giving...but some people are givers year round. One of the groups that we have found in the automotive world that continue to do this - God's Garage. An all volunteer group that is dedicated to helping single moms, wives of deployed service men, and just about anyone they can. It is hard to image life in this day and time without some form of transportation being available. Without public transportation, that means a car or truck or something. This group of people try to help by doing repairs or replacing vehicles. It is a great story and Brad Thompson is here to tell us more.

Chrome is KING! at most car shows, and Speed and Sport Chrome.
Ok, people like bright shiny things. In the auto world, vehicles are made to be bright and shiny to get the buyers attention. Chrome has long been a standard way to do this - bumpers, trim and even wheels or wheel covers. In the custom vehicle world almost anything 'can' be chrome if you can find the right chrome shop. Considered by many to be one of the best, it is Speed and Sport Chrome. A family owned/run shop, Craig Bierman is the man with the plan and he is teaching his son how to get it done. Craig has been a long time friend of Don Armstrong, and when the two get together, some of the stories almost seem unbelievable - but funny as heck!

TREMEC, Jim Averal has some history of the company and we talk about the very First Autorama.
In this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk, we were broadcasting LIVE! from the 62nd Annual Houston Autorama, and we had some great interviews. One of the most surprising came from Jim Averil, TREMEC transmissions. Seems we have always 'known' about TREMEC, what they are, but we quickly learned we didn't know what we didn't know. The company was actually founded in 1964 and the 2001 Corvette that Don Armstrong drives has one of their 6-speed gear boxes. Who knew! It is a very informative interview from a long time employee that we think you will enjoy. In our Feature segment, Jeff Dziekan is teaching us about the very FIRST Autorama, more history we did not know.

1932 Ford Flat Heads, Corvettes, and Bonneville Cars - Bruce Fortie is at Autorama.
1932 Ford's are classic hot rod material, particularly with a flathead engine. But what do you do for more power? After all the flathead is good for about 100hp, and you don't want to go to some modern big block with a blower. For Bruce Fortie, the answer is to do a conversion that makes his flathead an overhead valve engine for more power with the flathead block, keeping it a flathead engine. Bruce has some more vehicles to talk about, so join us to hear more about some unique vehicles. ---- ----- In Wheel Time Car Talk is now available on iHeart Radio!

Drag racing and selling cars - must be the Emmons Brothers!
Yep, there are still plenty of family owned businesses, and the Emmons Autoplex is a great example of what a family can do. First getting started in 1975, the business is now ran by the four Emmons brothers - three of which are triplets. In addition to that, all four are NHRA Sportsman drag racers. Today we are joined with Jerry, and we are catching up on the racing action from Las Vegas, as well as the NHRA Finals in Pomona. Last year, we were hearing about championships, but not so much this year. From there, we get some insight on the pre-owned auto segment that has seen a lot of ups and downs but seems to be mostly downs recently. Jerry also offers some thoughts on what 2023 may look like in the automotive world.

The 'Texas Toot' Monster Truck is here! We review the 2023 Niro SX hybrid.
Maybe not every automotive enthusiast has wanted a Monster Tuck at some time or another, but a whole bunch of us did. We went to the events, cheered on our favorites as they crushed lesser vehicles and flew across the event. Donuts are a time a dozen and it is one wheel stands. Craig Meaux is a monster truck lover, and he decided to do something about it. Working in his home shop during his spare time, for 20 months, he finally learned enough to come up with this rad ride. After putting it through some mud bogs, this is a driver after all, Craig got enticed to take it into the big city, Houston. It was here that he was able to get some big attention and now the Texas Toot is going to be a real Hot Wheels car! Be sure to look for this one to add to your collection, or rather your kids collection that you help with. In our Feature segment, Michael Marrs is reviewing the 2023 Kia Niro SX Hybrid. Like a lot of people are thinking, the hybrid may be the way to go. ---- ----- …

Painthouse is in the house talking about 2022 SEMA and the Viking Blood red Corvette.

Besides the quality workmanship and attention to detail Randy has become known for, there is also the custom paint aspect. Yep, Randy is an automotive paint mixologist. He creates some awesome colors that are very unique and he names them accordingly - like the Viking Blood Red found on this Corvette that was on display at SEMA 2022.

Used auto sales - good, bad, ugly? An independent dealer perspective and it is Mustang Prototypes.
Auto sales at the OEM level may be settling down, back to normal? Probably not the normal many of us have come to know, but a new normal.

Summer finally leaves Houston, Carvana is in the news, and we review the '23 Mazda CX-50
Down along the Gulf of Mexico, the weather is kind'a like the automotive industry. Don't like the way things are? Wait a few hours and things will change. As the internet continues to become more and more a part of our lives, online auto sales continues to 'increase'. Not only are the OEM dealers learning how to make the sales, but there are companies that are truly focused on selling online only. For a lot of us, the idea of buying vehicle without kicking the tires or taking a test drive just doesn't seem right. Carvana is one of these new online companies that may garner more noticed due to their admittedly cool vending machine concept. If you haven't see it, literally a vending machine full of vehicles. Strangely cool looking. Internet or not, when an auto sales operation starts having issues with state regulators ... well, join us to hear more.
