The century-long story of how we value cars has dramatically shifted from dog-eared pages to digital databases. Before the internet, car dealers, buyers, and even divorce courts relied on physical booklets like Kelly Blue Book and NADA guides to determine fair market prices. These guides weren't just reference materials—they were essential tools that brought transparency to a notoriously opaque market.NADA began tracking vehicle values in 1922, creating a standardized system that expanded far beyond dealership lots. During World War II, as manufacturing materials were diverted to the war effort, these guides became crucial in preventing price gouging when used car demand skyrocketed. Even government assistance programs consulted these books when determining eligibility, considering vehicle value as part of an applicant's assets.The digital revolution changed everything. What started with experimental floppy disks and CD-ROMs in the 1990s evolved into sophisticated online platforms delivering real-time valuations based on multiple factors. By 2017, the last physical guides rolled off the presses, marking the end of an era but the beginning of a more efficient system for everyone involved in buying and selling vehicles.This week's episode also covers significant recalls, including a serious Ford steering column defect affecting over 115,000 vehicles. We play our popular "Guess the Sold Price" game with classics like a 1967 Mustang convertible and a stunning 1932 Ford Roadster with flames. Plus, we honor Tsutumo Tom Matano, the visionary designer of the Mazda MX-5 Miata who recently passed away at 78.Whether you're a car enthusiast, industry professional, or simply curious about automotive history, this episode offers fascinating insights into how technology continues to transform the way we value, buy, and sell vehicles.

Randy Borchiding's colorful journey from model car enthusiast to custom paint specialist unfolds with charm and practical wisdom. What started with Testors spray cans and a childhood model contest victory evolved into a full-fledged career creating custom colors for show-stopping vehicles. Randy pulls back the curtain on his early days, revealing how he built his first professional paint booth using nothing more than PVC pipes, plastic sheeting, and box fans with air conditioning filters. "Don't feel like you can't accomplish something just literally in your garage because you don't have a $50,000 box," he encourages, sharing how cars painted in this humble setup went on to compete at prestigious shows like the Grand National Roaster Show.The science behind the art proves fascinating as Randy explains the critical role of temperature in modern urethane painting. Working in environments below 50 degrees can leave paint jobs permanently sticky or mushy – a costly lesson he learned firsthand. His process for creating custom colors evolved organically from customer requests to modify OEM shades, resulting in approximately 50 signature colors that he can reproduce consistently.Currently preparing a hot pink 1968 Roadrunner (aptly named "Ransberry") for the upcoming SEMA show, Randy shares the pressure and timeline of readying show cars for major events. His other project, a 1968 Oldsmobile convertible, demonstrates his versatility – maintaining period-correct aesthetics while incorporating modern performance with an LS3 engine disguised to look like an original Oldsmobile powerplant.The episode also features Jeff's Motor Minute discussing NASCAR's potential horsepower increase to 750 for the 2026 season, followed by Don's enthusiastic review of the 2025 Mazda MX5 Miata Anniversary Edition. Despite having just 181 horsepower, the Miata's exceptional power-to-weight ratio delivers thrilling performance with remarkable efficiency.Subscribe to the In Wheel Time Car Talk Show for more automotive insights, expert interviews, and honest reviews every Saturday from 10-noon Central Time on inwheeltime.com, YouTube, and Facebook.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Mercedes and Andy Lilienthal take us on an exhilarating journey through North America's longest road rally - the Alcan 5000. Covering a staggering 5,500 miles from Seattle to Alaska, this husband-wife team pushed their 2026 Honda Passport Trail Sport to its limits across punishing terrain and secured an impressive second-place overall finish.The conversation reveals the fascinating format of this epic adventure: daily time-speed-distance rally segments connected by long-distance travel through some of the continent's most remote regions. While competitors in the "unlimited" class relied on sophisticated rally computers, the Lilienthals triumphed in their "seat of pants" class using nothing more than a $6 calculator, a kitchen timer, and raw mathematical calculations.Their Honda Passport proved the perfect companion, conquering approximately 900 miles of dirt and gravel without a single flat tire. The couple details how they tackled optional "extreme control" routes that earned them the "Go Farther Award," including an expedition to the Arctic Circle through mud-drenched paths and treacherous conditions that left their vehicle "caked full of mud."Beyond the mechanical challenges, the couple shares insights into the human element of rally competition - how they navigate the pressure-cooker environment as partners, their strategies for effective communication under stress, and the camaraderie formed with competitors from around the world. With good humor, Andy admits that Mercedes "sits on the right of the car because she's always right."Having competed in both summer and winter Alcan rallies, the Lilienthals offer perspective on the additional challenges winter brings, from survival concerns in temperatures reaching -50°F to blizzard conditions and closed highways. Their experiences highlight the remarkable resilience required when facing nature's most extreme conditions.Whether you're a rally enthusiast, an adventure seeker, or simply curious about extraordinary automotive challenges, this conversation captures the spirit of pushing boundaries and finding joy in the journey. Follow the Lilienthals' continuing adventures through their Crankshaft Culture platforms and perhaps consider registering for the 2026 summer Alcan 5000 RBe sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Buckle up for a deep dive into the automotive industry's latest battle with tariffs that could reshape how we buy and maintain our vehicles. Automakers and suppliers have formally urged the Trump administration to reconsider unpredictable tariff expansions, warning that these policies make investing in America increasingly difficult. The financial impact? A potential $4,600 price increase per vehicle within three years, according to the Center for Automotive Research—a sobering prospect when average new car prices already hover around $50,000.The conversation takes a personal turn as we explore the emotional versus practical considerations of keeping older vehicles. One host shares the dilemma of his daughter's beloved 2007 Ford Focus with 185,000 miles—is the sentimental value worth the maintenance costs and logistics of storing it for occasional use? This sparks a broader discussion about how consumers might adapt to rising costs, including a potential revival of salvaging parts from junkyards as repair expenses climb due to tariff-affected components.Our Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid review showcases why this three-row SUV deserves attention despite its $52,610 starting price. With actual adults fitting comfortably in the third row (thanks to its six-inch length increase over the standard Highlander), impressive fuel economy averaging 29.7 mpg over 475 miles, and what we call "the best-looking front fascia" in Toyota's lineup, it delivers substantial value for families needing space without sacrificing efficiency. We also cover the latest automotive recalls, auction results from Hemmings, and an update on Tony Stewart's remarkable recovery after a 300+ mph NHRA crash.Ready to join the conversation?

Autumn reveals a side of Texas many travelers never experience. While summer heat dominates conversations about the Lone Star State, fall transforms Texas into a wonderland of outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, and natural beauty.Our journey begins in East Texas, where maples explode with vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows that rival New England's famous foliage. The Sabine River region offers perfect fall temperatures for camping, hiking, and outdoor recreation without summer's oppressive heat. Moving westward, we explore the Texas Hill Country Wine Trail stretching from Fredericksburg to Johnson City. Fall means harvest festivals, grape stomps, and perfect weather for tasting award-winning reds and whites while enjoying weekend live music performances at numerous wineries.For more adventurous travelers, we venture to Big Bend Country, where fall transforms an otherwise scorching landscape into a comfortable destination for hiking, river trips, and world-class stargazing. The region's International Dark Sky designation makes it perfect for witnessing the Milky Way in breathtaking clarity. Our final destination takes us to mysterious Caddo Lake on the Texas-Louisiana border, where ancient bald cypress trees draped with Spanish moss create an almost mystical autumn atmosphere perfect for kayaking and boat tours.We also examine the fascinating evolution of racing helmet technology, from simple leather caps to today's carbon fiber and Kevlar marvels, and review the 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid, which combines impressive fuel economy with genuine three-row comfort thanks to its extended dimensions.Whether you're planning your next road trip or simply dreaming of autumn adventures, join us to discover why fall might be the perfect season to explore Texas.

The battle between dirt and asphalt tracks, the delicate ecosystem of regional racing, and the high-stakes fall racing season take center stage in this revealing conversation with motorsports commentator Rodney Rodriguez.As Texas transitions into fall, circle track racing enters its most exciting phase with championship battles heating up and big money events drawing competitors from across state lines. Rodriguez highlights the SuperTex 600 at Rocket Raceway Park—a minimal-rules competition offering a potential $25,000 prize—as an example of grassroots racing at its finest, where "you can damn near run anything you have" from bombers to modifieds.Behind this excitement lurks a troubling industry trend: historic venues like Devil's Bowl Speedway closing permanently, forcing racers to travel greater distances while remaining tracks fail to coordinate effectively. The podcast reveals how personal rivalries and business pressures prevent track operators from collaborating on schedules, ultimately hurting car counts and fan attendance. As Rodriguez explains, "Tracks intentionally scheduled on top of each other...that cuts your car count down, that cuts your fan count, it divides the racers."The conversation expands to critique both NASCAR's Next Gen car for being "too smart" and diminishing competition, and IndyCar's abbreviated season that causes the series to "fall off the map" despite having exceptional racing. These industry-wide challenges reflect a motorsport landscape at a crossroads—balancing tradition with innovation while fighting for audience attention.Whether you're a dedicated race fan or simply curious about the culture of American motorsports, this episode offers invaluable insights into the passion, economics, and challenges shaping racing's future.

The digital threat landscape for the automotive industry has never been more dangerous. Legendary FBI operative and cybersecurity expert Eric O'Neill joins us to reveal how cyber attackers are targeting major manufacturers with devastating results. Right now, Jaguar Land Rover's production sits paralyzed by a ransomware attack that's already lasted three weeks with no end in sight. These aren't isolated incidents. Just last year, a similar attack against CDK Global crippled 15,000 US dealerships, causing nearly a billion dollars in losses. What's truly alarming is how these breaches ripple through the entire automotive ecosystem - from manufacturers to suppliers to your personal data. Eric breaks down exactly how these attacks happen, why they're so difficult to prevent, and what makes the $18 trillion cybercrime industry so dangerously effective.But it's not just corporations at risk. Eric shares chilling stories of how ordinary people fall victim to sophisticated "phishing" scams through simple text messages that evolve into friendship before turning predatory. The conversation takes a terrifying turn as he explains how elderly victims are "fattened up" before having their life savings stolen through elaborate confidence schemes.We also explore automotive safety from a different angle with Jeff's exploration of racing helmet evolution - from simple leather caps to today's carbon fiber marvels with potential heads-up display integration. And for those seeking autumn adventures, Marrs provides some Texas fall travel tips, from the colorful foliage of Lost Maple State Natural Area to the wine trails of the Texas Hill Country.Want to protect yourself in this digital battlefield? Eric's upcoming book "Spies, Lies and Cybercrime" teaches you to think like a spy to recognize attacks before they happen.

Step into the extraordinary world of the Hemi Hideout as we chat with owner John Hovis about his remarkable journey from car enthusiast to curator of one of the most impressive automotive sanctuaries in Texas. Surrounded by vintage neon signs and classic cars, John reveals how what began as a personal "man cave" evolved into a destination venue that now hosts everything from corporate events to weddings. His collection of 24 vehicles—half powered by legendary Hemi engines—forms the heart of this automotive paradise, but it's the community spirit that truly defines the space. Every rental fee is matched by John and donated to local charities, transforming his passion project into a force for good.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as John explains the hideout's innovative geothermal cooling system, which uses heat exchangers submerged 21 feet deep in an on-site pond. While this eco-friendly approach might not pay for itself during his lifetime, it reflects the forward-thinking approach that permeates everything about this unique venue.We shift gears to discuss the current state of electric vehicles in America, sharing personal experiences with charging infrastructure challenges and the practical limitations of EV ownership.

Ever wondered what happens when your brand-new dream car turns into a mechanical nightmare? Hovanes Margarian, known as "The Lemon Lawyer," pulls back the curtain on the fascinating world of automotive consumer protection law in this eye-opening conversation.From his unique garage-turned-law-office where client vehicles undergo inspection alongside his personal collection (including a Ferrari SF90 Spider), Margarian reveals the inner workings of lemon law cases that have defined his 20-year career. With remarkable candor, he explains how manufacturers often make strategic decisions about settling claims based not just on case merit, but on their own financial timing and broader liability concerns.The conversation delivers surprising insights that every car owner should know. Margarian explains why class action settlements frequently serve manufacturers better than consumers, offering modest compensation while extinguishing potentially valuable individual refund claims. He also shares how the timeline from claim to resolution can vary dramatically depending on a manufacturer's willingness to acknowledge defects.Beyond legal strategies, the episode takes fascinating detours into automotive technology and history. Jeff explores car innovations directly descended from NASA's space program – from memory foam seats to anti-lock brakes – while Mike guides us through the 178-mile stretch of Route 66 that winds through Texas, highlighting iconic stops like Cadillac Ranch and the official midpoint between Chicago and Los Angeles.Whether you're dealing with a problematic vehicle or simply fascinated by the intersection of automotive culture and consumer rights, this episode delivers valuable knowledge wrapped in entertaining conversation.

Ever wondered why your car's technology feels so advanced? The answer might be orbiting above your head. We dive into the fascinating world where NASA innovations have transformed everyday driving experiences, from the anti-lock brakes that keep you safe to the head-up display projecting vital information onto your windshield.These aerospace technologies weren't just adapted for automobiles—they revolutionized them. Space shuttle landing systems became the foundation for modern anti-lock braking. Fighter jet displays evolved into the windshield projections in luxury vehicles. The same composite materials that withstand the harshness of space now form lightweight, durable car components. Even your car's precise fuel injection and improved tire technology trace back to solutions originally designed for rockets and lunar rovers.Beyond the technological marvels, we take you on a journey down the historic Route 66 through Texas. Though only 178 miles long in the Lone Star State, this stretch packs incredible attractions—from the iconic Cadillac Ranch near Amarillo to the exact midpoint between Chicago and Los Angeles in Adrian. We explore art deco architecture at the Dew Drop Inn, vintage gas stations, and the neon-lit motor courts that capture the golden era of American road trips. We wrap up with an in-depth review of the 2025 Lexus LX 600, a $121,000 luxury SUV combining opulent features with impressive capability, including a powerful turbocharged V6 that rivals V8 performance.

The automotive world still has a discrimination problem, and this episode dives deep into a shocking case that cost two Missouri dealerships $275,000 in settlement fees. When Landmark Dodge Ram and Landmark Chrysler Jeep were caught refusing to hire women for sales positions and men for office roles, the EEOC stepped in with a lawsuit that revealed disturbing practices and attitudes. Former HR employees testified that management claimed "women didn't have the respect necessary" for car sales and that training them was "a waste of time."Beyond this central story, we tackle the automotive recall landscape, including Ford's massive 1.5 million vehicle recall for rearview camera issues affecting models from 2015-2019. Numerous other manufacturers face similar challenges, from improperly sealed windshields to potential vehicle rollaways. The industry is experiencing significant market shifts too – Stellantis has canceled its electric Ram 1500 pickup citing slowing EV demand, while Tesla's once-loyal customer base is eroding as owners defect to legacy brands.Our popular Sold Cars Roundup guessing game delivers surprises with classic vehicles selling for unexpected prices. A 1965 Pontiac Bonneville fetched $21,000, while a 1930 Ford Model A went for just $10,000, and a 1966 Ford F100 commanded an impressive $30,450. Meanwhile, lawmakers are finally addressing the catalytic converter theft epidemic with the PART Act, requiring VINs to be stamped on these valuable components. Whether you're interested in industry ethics, market trends, or simply love classic cars, this episode offers insights that go beyond typical automotive coverage.Ready to hear more automotive insights and entertaining discussions?

From $150 million in exotic cars managed by college students to the plush comfort of a six-figure luxury SUV, this episode of In Wheel Time takes you on a journey through the fascinating intersections of automotive education and innovation.Katrina Ness, the 62nd general chair of the Northwood University International Auto Show, joins us to discuss what might be the most unique automotive event in America. As a fourth-year student pursuing her MBA, Katrina leads what she describes as "an organization with the most turnover" - a completely student-run auto show featuring hypercars, racing vehicles, and nearly every automotive brand imaginable. With minimal faculty oversight, these 20-something students are entrusted with approximately $150 million worth of automotive assets, including a Bugatti Mistral fresh from Europe and a LaFerrari previously owned by Drake.Beyond the jaw-dropping vehicle lineup, we explore how Northwood University's specialized automotive marketing and management program prepares students for industry careers through hands-on experience. Katrina candidly shares how managing such a massive event has taught her as much about anxiety management as automotive marketing - skills that transcend the classroom and prepare students for real-world challenges.We then shift gears to examine the 2025 Lexus LX600, a luxury SUV that combines opulence with surprising performance. Despite replacing the traditional V8 with a turbocharged V6, this seven-passenger behemoth delivers 409 horsepower and can tow 8,000 pounds while improving fuel efficiency. From its signature oversized spindle grille to unexpected features like a center console that doubles as a refrigerator, we explore what makes this $114,500 vehicle stand out in the crowded luxury SUV market.Whether you're fascinated by the next generation of automotive professionals or shopping for your next luxury vehicle, this episode offers unique insights into both the present and future of car culture.

The Savoy Car Museum's annual Connection Car Show has evolved into a spectacular gathering of automotive enthusiasts, exceeding all expectations in its third year. Located in Cartersville, Georgia, between Atlanta and Chattanooga, this expanding event showcases the passion and diversity of car culture across the Southeast.Mary Argusza takes us behind the scenes as spectators line up before dawn, eager to experience both the outdoor car show and the museum's impressive indoor exhibits. The museum itself spans 60,000 square feet with five distinct galleries, featuring a strategic rotation system that ensures fresh experiences for repeat visitors. Currently, guests can explore exhibits like "Harvest to Highway" with agricultural vehicles, small block muscle cars, racing Jaguars, and an extraordinary collection of ten Duesenbergs representing every iteration of these legendary automobiles.What makes the Connection Car Show particularly special is its organic growth through word-of-mouth and collaborative relationships with regional car clubs. Though organizers capped show car entries at 300 vehicles, spectator turnout far exceeded expectations, with parking overflowing onto grassy areas surrounding the facility. The event has expanded into a two-day experience featuring a Friday driving tour culminating at the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame, followed by Saturday's main show with People's Choice awards and the coveted Savoy Award.Unique vehicles dotted the landscape, from pristine classics to modified hot rods, with surprising finds like a Minneapolis Moline tractor featuring a cab and jump seat – capable of 40mph speeds but requiring "the length of a train" to stop due to its rudimentary drum brakes. These automotive treasures, primarily from Georgia and surrounding states, showcase the remarkable collections hidden in garages throughout the region.Ready to experience automotive history through a fresh lens? Plan your visit to the Savoy Car Museum and mark your calendar for next year's Connection Car Show – an event that celebrates our enduring fascination with wheels, engines, and the freedom of the open road.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Deciding when an elderly parent should stop driving ranks among family life's most challenging conversations. Now, General Motors is developing technology to transform this emotional decision into a data-driven process. Their innovative "driver retirement score" system monitors everything from reaction times to proper use of turn signals, even tracking how often other drivers honk at the vehicle. This comprehensive approach could revolutionize how families approach driving cessation discussions with aging relatives.The timing couldn't be more critical. With nearly 52 million licensed drivers over 65 in America—a 77% increase in just two decades—we're facing unprecedented road safety challenges. According to Triple A, seniors now outlive their ability to drive safely for the first time in history, creating a need for "driving retirement planning" similar to financial retirement planning.But the technology raises fascinating questions about parameters and privacy. Would someone who enjoys driving fast automatically receive a poor score? How might different interpretations of complete stops at stop signs affect results? These considerations highlight the complexity of designing systems that identify genuinely unsafe behaviors while accommodating varied driving styles.Beyond the elderly driver technology discussion, we explore the completely redesigned 2026 Hyundai Palisade. Priced at $58,030 as tested, it offers tremendous value compared to competitors like the Ford Expedition King Ranch at over $86,000. While the Palisade impresses with modern styling and luxurious features, its 3.5-liter V6 struggles somewhat with the vehicle's 5,000-pound weight. We also cover major racing news with Will Power leaving Penske after 17 years to join Andretti's IndyCar team, while Colton Herta prepares for a potential Formula One future.Ready to learn more about automotive innovations, value-packed SUVs, and the future of driving safety?

Climb aboard as we journey through Texas heritage railways and drive some of the most disappointing dream cars ever made. This episode starts with a nostalgic look at Texas' historic train routes transformed into tourist attractions. From the inmate-built Texas State Railroad to the Grapevine Vintage Railroad's themed excursions (including beer trains and Thomas the Tank Engine days), we explore how these metal ribbons of history now create new memories for visitors.The conversation shifts gears dramatically when we reveal six dream cars that owners deeply regret purchasing. The Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake with its endless repair bills, the eco-friendly but perpetually broken Fisker Karma, and the gorgeous but temperamental Alfa Romeo 4C all made the list. These automotive heartbreakers promise exotic looks and driving thrills but deliver wallet-draining disappointment. We explore why the first-generation Tesla Roadster, futuristic BMW i8, and even James Bond's Lotus Esprit leave owners shaken, not stirred.We wrap up with a comprehensive review of the redesigned 2026 Hyundai Palisade. This seven-passenger SUV impresses with its distinctive styling, comfortable interior with customizable lighting, and competitive pricing at $58,300 for the tested Calligraphy AWD trim. However, the 3.5L V6 engine struggles with the vehicle's substantial 5,000-pound weight, particularly during highway passing maneuvers. Is the Palisade the right family hauler for you?

The financial shock of adding a teenage driver to your insurance policy can feel like a sucker punch to your wallet. In Texas, parents face an average premium increase of 114% – the fourth highest in the nation according to WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo, our special guest this week. While Texas ranks middle-of-the-pack (28th) for teen driver fatalities, this statistic offers little comfort to parents navigating the treacherous waters of teen driving safety and skyrocketing insurance costs.Diving into strategies that actually work, our hosts share personal experiences with driver education approaches across generations. We explore the evolving landscape from school-based programs taught by PE coaches to modern combinations of parent-led instruction and professional driving schools. The conversation reveals an important truth: teens often respond better to driving instruction from authority figures who aren't their parents. Meanwhile, insurance companies offer various paths to lower those painful premiums, including good student discounts and monitoring devices that track driving habits.Beyond teen driving concerns, we cover breaking automotive news including a massive immigration enforcement operation at a Hyundai-LG plant in Georgia, the first-ever Vehicle Quality and Pricing Index showing Buick, Mazda and Toyota leading mainstream brands in reliability and affordability, and a shocking dealership embezzlement case in Midland where the former GM allegedly stole up to $150,000 through various fraudulent activities. Jeff rounds out the episode with a packed calendar of upcoming car shows and events across Texas. Whether you're raising a teen driver or simply passionate about automotive culture, this episode delivers valuable insights and entertaining discussion about the challenges facing today's drivers.Join us live every Saturday morning 8-11am Central on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch and InWheelTime.com, or catch our podcasts on all major platforms.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Road safety takes center stage in this eye-opening episode where we tackle the often misunderstood rules of school bus safety. When those yellow lights start flashing, too many drivers make potentially deadly mistakes. We break down exactly what you need to do when approaching a school bus on various road types and why following these rules is absolutely critical for protecting our children.We uncover a concerning reality about vehicle safety technology that many drivers don't realize—while your car's sensors might detect other vehicles, older models often completely miss pedestrians. This technological blind spot creates serious risks, especially in residential areas where children may dart into the street unexpectedly. Our discussion provides practical advice for staying vigilant behind the wheel, particularly for drivers of larger vehicles with limited visibility.The episode shifts gears to explore dream cars that became nightmares for their owners. From the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake with its endless repair bills to the eco-friendly Fisker Karma that kept mechanics in business, we reveal six prestigious vehicles that left their owners with serious buyer's remorse. Whether it's the beautiful but problematic Alfa Romeo 4C or the space-age BMW i8 that cost more to maintain than some mortgages, these cautionary tales might make you think twice before pursuing that automotive fantasy.For those seeking unique travel experiences, our "Riding the Rails" segment showcases Texas's diverse heritage railroads. From the historic Texas State Railroad to themed excursions on the Grapevine Vintage Railroad (including adults-only wine trains!), these rail journeys offer a refreshing alternative to traditional road trips.

Labor Day Replay:A divine prophecy, a kitchen cupboard full of auction school applications, and a career-defining first sale scheduled right after 9/11 – these unlikely elements converged to launch Yvette Vanderbrink into the world of automotive auctioneering, where she's spent 25 years specializing in barn finds and collector vehicles that others often don't know how to handle.Vanderbrink takes us behind the scenes of her recent Montana auction featuring 604 vehicles from three generations of collecting, explaining the logistical nightmares of conducting sales in remote locations with no cell service or electricity. With refreshing candor, she shares stories of overcoming sexism in the industry, including the memorable response to a man who suggested she "make a sandwich and let the boys do it" – she simply took away his bidder number.The psychology of car collecting emerges as a fascinating thread, with Yvette noting vehicles are "easier to come home than they are to leave," explaining how modest collections transform into hoarding situations. The thrill of the hunt often supersedes practical restoration plans, leading to expansive collections awaiting "someday" projects – something she witnessed firsthand with her father's 228-car collection.Don Armstrong provides a thorough review of the 2025 Kia Niro Hybrid, highlighting its impressive 53 mpg city fuel economy, attractive styling with Volvo-esque taillights, and competitive $26,990 starting price. The "small station wagon" (according to government classification) earns praise for its unique design elements, simple interior controls, and outstanding efficiency, positioning it as an ideal urban commuter vehicle.Whether you're fascinated by barn finds with stories to tell, considering an efficient hybrid for your daily commute, or simply enjoy authentic car talk from passionate enthusiasts, this episode delivers entertainment and insights that will have you looking at both forgotten classics and modern hybrids in a new light.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Labor Day Replay:Step inside the legendary Hemi Hideout, where automotive dreams come to life in spectacular fashion. Once housed in a simple barn, John Hovas's remarkable Mopar collection now resides in this purpose-built sanctuary that celebrates American muscle in its most glorious forms.The collection tells a story that began when John was just 18 years old in 1970, explaining his particular affinity for vehicles from that era. From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded by automotive royalty – numbers-matching rarities that represent some of the most sought-after configurations in Mopar history.The stars of the show include a 1970 Plymouth Superbird, whose radical aerodynamic design literally changed NASCAR racing before being banned for its dominance. With its distinctive nose cone and towering rear spoiler (strong enough to support a person's weight), it represents a pivotal moment in racing history as one of only 277 produced with the coveted 440 six-pack configuration.But perhaps nothing captures the essence of this collection better than John's personal favorite – a 1971 Plymouth Cuda in Sublime Pearl green. This restomod masterpiece houses an all-aluminum 528 cubic inch Hemi V8 producing an earth-shaking 739 horsepower, channeled through a five-speed manual with the iconic pistol grip shifter. With its tubbed rear end accommodating massive 22-inch tires, it perfectly balances vintage character with modern performance.The stories behind these vehicles prove just as fascinating as their specifications – like the ultra-rare 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner convertible recovered after spending 25 years underwater, or the 1966 Plymouth Belvedere with just 10,000 original miles that remains unrestored and numbers-matching. Each car represents not just engineering excellence, but a piece of American automotive heritage preserved for future generations.Want to experience this automotive paradise yourself? The Hemi Hideout occasionally opens its doors to visitors, with admission fees going directly to charity and doubled through John's personal contribution. Come witness this extraordinary collection where passion, histoBe sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Luxury electric vehicles have reached a new milestone with the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9, a groundbreaking full-size three-row SUV that combines spaciousness, cutting-edge design, and impressive electric performance. Fresh off the assembly line in Ellabelle, Georgia, this American-made Korean masterpiece showcases what happens when minimalist aesthetics meet maximum functionality.The exterior strikes an immediate impression with its clean, horizontal elements and distinctive lighting signatures that give it a unique presence on the road. But it's inside where the Ioniq 9 truly shines. The spacious interior accommodates up to nine passengers across various configurations, though the six-passenger layout with second-row captain's chairs delivers the most impressive feature: seats that recline almost completely flat with integrated footrests, transforming your vehicle into a mobile lounge. The elongated, integrated infotainment system flows seamlessly with the instrument cluster in a design that feels both intuitive and futuristic.Power comes from an electric drivetrain delivering up to 422 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque in top-tier models, propelling this three-ton vehicle with surprising grace. With 335 miles of range, a 5,000-pound towing capacity, and smooth, limousine-like handling, the Ioniq 9 makes a compelling case for electric family transportation. Starting at $58,955 and ranging up to $77,540 for fully-loaded models, it positions itself against competitors like the slightly more affordable Kia EV9 and the premium BMW iX.

Labor Day Replay:Drag racing fans rejoice! The International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) is roaring back onto the scene with a full revival that includes the return of Top Fuel racing after a 15-year absence. Division Director Doug Foley joins us to share the exciting developments happening within one of drag racing's most storied organizations.Founded in 1971 by Larry Carrier at Bristol International Speedway, IHRA has long represented an alternative approach to drag racing. After recent ownership changes, the organization has recommitted to both grassroots racing and professional nitro categories with a fresh perspective. Foley reveals that IHRA now owns five racetracks across the country and has attracted full fields of Top Fuel and Funny Car competitors for their upcoming national events.What makes IHRA's approach different? Their racer-friendly philosophy shines through in everything from event structure to insurance coverage. While maintaining similar safety standards to other sanctioning bodies, IHRA has streamlined their competition format to two-day shows with fewer qualifying sessions, allowing teams to compete for substantial purses ($50,000 to win) with significantly lower operating costs. Their comprehensive insurance program provides racers with $1 million in liability coverage plus additional benefits rarely seen in motorsports.The 2024 IHRA season kicks off July 9-12 at National Trail Raceway near Columbus, Ohio, featuring a diverse lineup of classes including Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Mod, and the IHRA-originated Mountain Motor Pro Stock category. With notable drivers like Scott Palmer, Dale Creasy Jr., and Terry Haddock committed to competing, this revival represents not just a trip down memory lane but a viable new path forward for drag racing that balances spectacle with sustainability.Whether you're a longtime IHRA supporter or simply a drag racing enthusiast looking for more nitro-powered action, this renaissance deserves your attention. Follow IHRA.com for event updates, driver announcements, and streaming information as they continue writing an exciting new chapter in drag racing history.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

LABOR DAY REPLAY:Courtney Enders brings her infectious enthusiasm and deep drag racing knowledge to this episode as she discusses her exciting new role with NHRA TV. As the sister of six-time Pro Stock champion Erica Enders, Courtney offers a unique insider perspective on the sport while carving her own path in racing media.Speaking from her temporary home in snowy Stratford, Ontario, Courtney shares the whirlwind journey that led to her joining the NHRA broadcast team alongside veterans like Dave Freiburger. What makes her story particularly compelling is how she's balancing multiple professional roles simultaneously – maintaining her full-time position managing content at Flow Racing while taking on NHRA TV responsibilities and still assisting with team management at Elite Motorsports.The conversation takes fascinating turns as Courtney provides candid insights into Elite Motorsports' rumored Top Fuel aspirations. She describes team owner Richard Freeman as "the world's most interesting man" with his "hand always on the go button," while explaining the regulatory challenges preventing Erica from competing in both Pro Stock and Top Fuel. Listeners gain valuable understanding of the behind-the-scenes dynamics that shape racing team decisions.Perhaps most poignant is Courtney's vulnerability when discussing Elite's challenging 2023 season, revealing how crew chief Mark Ingersoll's double lung transplant impacted the team's performance. Despite the setbacks, she assures fans that Erica is "pissed off and hungry" heading into the new season – a mindset that has previously led to championship runs.For both dedicated racing fans and casual listeners, this episode provides a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of drag racing media, the personal stories behind the competition, and how the Enders family continues to shape the sport's future. Whether you're familiar with the Disney movie "Right On Track" that chronicled the Enders sisters' early career or just discovering their story, Courtney's enthusiasm for all things drag racing is undeniably contagious.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Digital car keys are changing how we access and interact with our vehicles forever. While fobs and physical keys have been the standard for decades, smartphone-based digital keys are gaining incredible momentum—set to quadruple from 15 million to 59 million vehicles by 2031. This transformation extends far beyond just unlocking doors.The technology has evolved remarkably since Siemens introduced a credit card-sized precursor for Mercedes in the 1990s. Today's digital keys allow unprecedented flexibility: share access with family via WhatsApp, set speed restrictions for teen drivers, or even authorize Amazon delivery personnel to securely leave packages in your trunk. BMW's upcoming Digital Key Plus will take this further by automatically unlocking your vehicle as you approach, no phone-in-hand required.For Texans contemplating hurricane evacuation routes, Marrs offers unique destination alternatives to mundane motel stays. From the supposedly haunted historic town of Jefferson to Bandera (the cowboy capital of the world) and the oldest town in Texas (Nacogdoches), these charming locales transform necessary evacuations into memorable adventures with museums, wineries, and distinctive local culture.Car enthusiasts will appreciate our Hemmings auction roundup featuring remarkable finds like a 6,474-mile 1969 Chevrolet Caprice with a factory 427 V8—the quintessential "sleeper" that sold for just $23,363. Meanwhile, a significant US-European Union trade agreement could revolutionize automotive standards, allowing vehicles built for one market to be sold in the other without costly modifications.Check out our complete racing calendar and automotive history segment, then join us in two weeks when we'll be broadcasting from our new studio at the Hemi Hideout.

Automotive passion takes center stage as we welcome Matt Avery, co-host of Mecum in the Morning and veteran automotive journalist with nearly two decades of industry experience. Matt shares his fascinating journey from luxury car technician to content creator, explaining how his mechanical background and storytelling skills perfectly positioned him for his current role at Mecum Auctions.The conversation shifts to an exciting upcoming event - Larry's Legacy auction featuring the extensive collection of Chicago collector Larry Klairmont. This museum-quality assemblage includes 275 vehicles and over 1,000 pieces of memorabilia, all selling at no reserve. Matt walks us through the diverse collection spanning muscle cars, Jeeps, microcars, and rare showpieces like the Golden Sahara II, while providing essential details for potential bidders about preview days and registration.We then explore the evolving landscape of car buying, examining how retail giant Costco has entered the automotive market with pre-arranged dealer pricing. The segment raises thought-provoking questions about alternative purchasing methods including Facebook Marketplace and potential Amazon car sales, highlighting both benefits and potential pitfalls for consumers navigating these non-traditional paths.The episode concludes with Don's exhilarating review of the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla - a vehicle that shares little more than a name with its mainstream counterpart. This Gazoo Racing creation delivers 300 horsepower from a modest 1.6-liter engine, paired with race-inspired handling and distinctive styling that's creating a genuine cult following among automotive enthusiasts. At $50,433 as tested, it stands as a compelling alternative to competitors like the Volkswagen Golf R and Honda Civic Type R.Whether you're a collector car aficionado, interested in new purchasing methods, or simply appreciate performance vehicles that punch above their weight class, this episode delivers insights that will enhance your automotive knowledge and feed your passion for exceptional machines.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Tired of the same old hurricane evacuation routine? We've compiled a guide to turning your necessary departure into a memorable Texas adventure. Instead of crowding into chain hotels with your family and pets, consider charming destinations like Luckenbach and Fredericksburg with their creek-side cabins, dance halls, wineries, and boutiques. Or venture east to Jefferson, one of Texas's most haunted towns, complete with ghost-filled hotels, antique shopping, and riverboat tours through atmospheric bayous.For families, Glen Rose offers the prehistoric wonder of Dinosaur Valley State Park where kids can track real dinosaur footprints, while Bandera—the self-proclaimed "Cowboy Capital of the World"—delivers authentic western experiences including unique hillside architecture that creates the feeling of entering old-time speakeasies. These alternatives transform a potentially stressful evacuation into an opportunity for discovery and adventure.We also explore what your car color reveals about your personality. Drive a red vehicle? You're likely passionate and adventure-seeking. Black car owners tend to be mysterious sophisticates who value elegance, while white car drivers are practical planners who keep things neat and organized. The segment culminates with an in-depth review of the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla—a 300-horsepower compact that's far more than its namesake suggests. This factory race car generates a cult following among 30-something enthusiasts and delivers thrilling performance that rivals the Volkswagen Golf R and Honda Civic Type R, proving that sometimes the best things come in small, powerful packages.Ready to rethink your hurricane evacuation plans or curious about what your vehicle choice says about you?

His latest masterpiece – a 1970 Mercury Cougar convertible finished in a custom "Short Bus Pearl" yellow – recently claimed Best Custom at the Craig Bierman show and is headed to the prestigious Triple Crown event in Nashville.What makes Randy's approach unique is his blend of traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. The Cougar represents a "what if" concept car that Mercury never built – a convertible version of their Eliminator performance package. Beyond its flawless paint, the car features extensive 3D-printed components including the entire dashboard, console, and trunk panels. This revolutionary technique allows classic cars to integrate modern conveniences while maintaining period-correct aesthetics, fundamentally changing restoration possibilities.Behind every build lies a deeply personal connection. As Randy explains, many clients are "rebuilding a memory or something, a hole in their life they never had or could afford." These emotional investments transform projects from simple restorations into rolling tributes that fulfill lifelong dreams. After three decades in business without formal training, Randy now focuses on mentoring young talent, emphasizing that passion and desire form the foundation upon which technical skills can be taught.Ready to see automotive artistry at its finest?

Jack Nerad takes us on a thrilling ride through America's heartland in a monstrous 710-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat. This wasn't just any road trip – it was the "Made in America Tour" meticulously planned by Jack's wife, combining their love of baseball with an exploration of America's cultural landmarks. From Chicago to Milwaukee, through Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and back, they visited major league ballparks, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Greenfield Village.What surprised Jack most was how the beast beneath the hood became a gentle giant on the highway. Despite having enough power to launch this three-row SUV from 0-60 in just 3.5 seconds, the Durango proved remarkably docile and comfortable, even during 500-mile days. The vehicle's sophisticated electronic aids and all-wheel drive system made handling effortless, while still returning a respectable 16 miles per gallon – impressive efficiency for something with supercar-level horsepower.The conversation shifts to exciting news about Dodge's commitment to V8 power, with all future Durangos (from 2026) dropping V6 options entirely. This sparked a passionate discussion about the reliability and driving experience of naturally aspirated V8 engines compared to the increasingly common turbocharged four-cylinders many manufacturers have adopted. Jack notes that while many companies chase fuel efficiency through complex engineering, there's something to be said for sticking with proven technology that provides both performance and longevity. His own 25-year-old Chevy Tahoe with its trusty V8 still runs flawlessly – a testament to the durability of these powerplants.Follow Jack's complete Made in America Tour through daily video updates on the America on the Road YouTube channel, where you can experience this remarkable journey through America's automotive and cultural landscape.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Have car manufacturers been building vehicles the same way for too long? Ford's CEO Jim Farley thinks so, announcing a staggering $6 billion investment in what they're calling the "Universal EV Production System." This revolutionary approach abandons the traditional assembly line in favor of an "assembly tree" using three sub-assemblies with large aluminum castings and a structural battery that get joined together later.The ambitious manufacturing overhaul promises 20% fewer parts, 40% fewer workstations, and 15% faster assembly times. But as we unpack in this episode, Wall Street's response was lukewarm at best, raising questions about whether this represents genuine innovation or expensive PR. While Ford prepares to roll out a $30,000 midsize electric pickup from this new system, we can't help but wonder if addressing their ongoing recall issues might be a better investment of resources.Speaking of recalls, we dive into the latest automotive call-backs affecting Land Rover, Ford, and Mercedes-Benz owners. Our popular "Guess the Sold Car Price" game returns with some surprising auction results that show which classics are commanding premium prices in today's market. From AMC Javelins to Lincoln Town Cars, you'll be shocked at what some buyers are willing to pay.We also explore Chevrolet's stunning new Corvette concept cars that debuted at Monterey Car Week, the US military's curious interest in blowing up Tesla Cybertrucks with missiles, and the latest trends in auto financing. Whether you're a casual car enthusiast or die-hard automotive aficionado, this episode delivers the perfect blend of industry insights, entertainment, and automotive passion that keeps you connected to everything happening in the world of wheels.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

A 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner sits dormant in the corner of Apex Auto Works, carrying with it the weight of memory and loss. For Richard Tomlin, this muscle car isn't just a project—it's a living connection to his father, who died in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. After years of seeing it gather dust, Richard has finally found the perfect reason to breathe new life into this family heirloom.The catalyst came from an unexpected source: a customer discussing his dream of racing Pikes Peak in a car like the one he once shared with his own father—who had passed away at the famous hill climb's starting line just three years ago. This serendipitous connection of father-son legacies sparked an ambitious plan that automotive purists might call sacrilege, but Richard calls love.What makes this build truly fascinating is the technical approach. Richard and his team are performing a body swap, mounting the iconic Roadrunner shell onto a donated 2015 NASCAR truck chassis, complete with racing suspension and an 830-horsepower engine. The finished car will maintain its classic muscle car appearance while gaining the performance capabilities needed to tackle America's most famous mountain road. They're even restoring it to its 1984 appearance and incorporating its longtime nickname "Big Bird" into custom touches like the valve covers.The timeline is ambitious: debut at the SEMA show in November, first competition a week later, then to the PRI show in December, before finally challenging Pikes Peak next June. For Richard, this isn't just about speed—it's about preserving memories, honoring two fathers, and demonstrating how automotive passion can transform grief into something that roars with life.Whether you're a muscle car enthusiast, a racing fan, or someone who appreciates how mechanical projects can heal the heart, this story reminds us why we love cars—they're vehicles not just for our bodies, but for our most meaningful human connections. Follow along with Richard's journey and witness the Roadrunner's rebirth on the In Wheel Time podcast.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Fancy yourself a classic car pricing expert? Our latest episode puts that knowledge to the test as we dive into the fascinating world of Hemmings auction results, where perception and reality often collide in surprising ways.The conversation kicks off with a beautifully maintained 1956 Ford Victoria sporting fender skirts and what our hosts playfully debate might be "hoodlum" wheel covers. When the hammer fell at $18,375, it set the tone for a journey through automotive history and collector valuation that would deliver several shocks along the way.Nothing demonstrates the unpredictable nature of classic car values quite like the 1969 AMC AMX that followed. This two-seat alternative to the Mustang commanded an eye-popping $41,895 – nearly double what our hosts estimated. Why such premium pricing? Numbers-matching originality and increasing rarity have transformed these American Motors offerings from underappreciated oddities to sought-after collectibles.From a "rare coupe" 2009 Pontiac Solstice (one of the brand's final offerings) to a vinyl-topped 1988 Cadillac DeVille that could "fit four bodies in the trunk" (as one host humorously observed), each vehicle tells a story about automotive heritage and collector psychology. Perhaps most fascinating was the 2006 Pontiac GTO – an Australian-built Holden with Corvette power that sold for just $14,175, demonstrating how badge engineering and styling misalignment can dramatically impact collector interest despite impressive performance credentials.The episode wraps with a gorgeous 1966 Buick LeSabre two-door that perfectly embodies what our hosts called "the floating luxury" and "near-Cadillac experience" of mid-century American motoring. At $13,650, it represents both tremendous value and the enduring appeal of Detroit's golden era designs.Ready to test your own classic car valuation skills?

Dust off those wrenches and prepare for a nostalgic journey through American automotive history! We're diving deep into the world of truck restoration with our carefully curated list of five classic pickups that deserve a second chance at life.The humble truck has evolved from pure utility vehicle to sought-after collector's item, with certain models commanding impressive prices and passionate followings. From the beloved 1972 Chevrolet C10 with its perfect blend of style and simplicity to the surprisingly quick 1979 Dodge Little Red Express (which, believe it or not, was the fastest American-made vehicle in 1978!), we explore what makes these vehicles special and why they're worth the investment of time and resources to restore.Each truck on our list represents a unique chapter in automotive development. The 1985 Ford F-150 showcases the rugged dependability that built Ford's truck dynasty, while the 1968 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 demonstrates why this boxy off-roader developed a cult following long before Toyota became a household name in America. We round out our selections with the 1993 GMC Sierra 1500, the perfect entry point for restoration newcomers with its balance of classic styling and modern usability.Beyond just discussing specifications and history, we share personal restoration experiences and the joy of making these projects family affairs.

Buckle up for a thrilling ride through automotive history's most fascinating turning points! From daring pioneers to corporate chess moves, our latest episode uncovers the moments that revolutionized how we move through the world.We kick things off with the remarkable story of Bertha Benz, who in 1888 essentially "borrowed" her husband's invention without permission and embarked on a 66-mile journey that would change transportation forever. Imagine purchasing fuel from a pharmacy, making roadside repairs yourself, and proving to a skeptical world that automobiles weren't just novelties but practical machines with real potential. This audacious act by Bertha stands as perhaps the world's first automotive marketing campaign—and it worked brilliantly.The episode accelerates through Henry Ford's initial stumbles with his first automotive venture, which produced fewer than 20 vehicles before closing. We explore how Harvey Firestone's tire company became fundamental to America's automotive expansion despite later controversies, and examine how quickly car manufacturers pivoted to military production during World War I. Walter Chrysler's strategic introduction of the DeSoto brand reveals the competitive positioning that defined the industry, while De Tomaso's rescue of Maserati demonstrates the passion driving automotive preservation. We wrap up with popular culture's love affair with cars, featuring James Bond's unforgettable submarine-transforming Lotus Esprit.Throughout human history, automobiles have represented more than transportation—they embody freedom, innovation, and the relentless human drive to push boundaries. Join us every Saturday morning from 8-11am Central for our live show on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch and InWheelTime.com, or catch our podcasts on all major streaming platforms.
