Special Note from Texas Rich:Hey everyone! I wanted to share a little backstory about why you're hearing this special episode on C10 America Talks. Over the past year, I had a best friend who was like a right-hand man for my previous hot rod magazine. Sadly, he passed away about two months ago, and it was a tough time. Interestingly enough, just a week after his passing, I met Roller, and we instantly clicked. He's been an incredible friend and support to me, and when he got hit with a Facebook ban while promoting his t-shirt line, I knew I had to help. We're getting his audio podcast up on my platform temporarily so he can reach all of you without any hiccups. Thanks for your understanding and for supporting us both. We appreciate you, and we're excited to bring you more great content!Rev your engines, folks! Roller is back with his brand-new audio podcast, "Pedal to the Metal!" After a brief pit stop from live video, he's firing on all cylinders with an hour of the hottest tracks, the latest scoops, and all the good vibes you crave! Plus, all the songs featured will be available for sale on CD, and he's got a brand-new Christmas album dropping too! Head over to fourthwall.com for all his fresh swag—hats, tees, stickers, coffee mugs, and more! Roller wants you to know how much he loves each and every one of you—this is his lifelong passion, and he dreamed of starting a radio station, but this is the next big thing! Thank you for listening, and God bless you—have a great day!

It's one of the biggest months of the year — SEMA, MCACN, and Thanksgiving! In this episode, Rick Schmidt joins Rob to tackle the real questions everyone's asking: turkey, beef, or ham? Cranberries from the can? And of course, what makes MCACN (the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals) such a world-class event. Rick gives us an inside look at his 13-mile 1964 Ford Galaxie XL, shares why authenticity matters more than perfection, and explains why this show has earned its nickname: “The Pebble Beach of Muscle Cars.” From Thanksgiving table debates to restoration realities, Rick dives into the surprising truth about American vs. Taiwan-made panels, plus which cars—classic or modern—could be future MCACN stars. Whether you're restoring, collecting, or just daydreaming, this one's packed with laughs, insight, and muscle car wisdom. Tune in and find out: is Rick Team Turkey or Team Ham? The post TMCP #626: Ask Rick – Preview for the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals 2025, “The Pebble Beach of Muscle Car Shows” first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.
If you're trying to decide which car to buy or want to learn more about the latest EVs on the market, Motortorque can help.
A tiny, overlooked component is bringing giant assembly lines to a halt. We dig into the Nexperia saga—European control, Chinese export blocks, and a packaging choke point—and explain why the “boring” diodes and transistors tucked into door locks, HVAC, and wiper motors matter as much as any cutting-edge processor. When each vehicle hides 300 to 600 of these legacy chips, one missing part can park an entire line, and that's exactly what Honda, Volkswagen, and Nissan are starting to face.We connect the supply chain dots to real-world outcomes: reduced shifts, delayed models, and dealer backlogs. Then we pivot to a sharp recalls roundup, where Ford's record-setting year meets moonroof deflectors, defrost issues, and camera failures, while tires and lighting glitches hit other brands from Cadillac to Fiat and Ferrari. It's a tour of what happens when quality, parts availability, and service capacity collide—and what owners can do now to stay safe and informed.For a breather, we fire up Name The Sold Car Price, comparing a 1952 Studebaker Commander, a 1965 MGB, an '85 F-250, a 2002 Thunderbird, and a stunning 1936 Packard 120. You'll hear what moved, what stalled, and what these numbers say about condition, provenance, and taste. We also map the calendar for Veterans Day cruise-ins, toy drives, and big regional shows—community checkpoints where car culture thrives, knowledge spreads, and enthusiasts help each other keep their machines on the road.If you care about how cars are built, why they break, and where the culture is headed, this conversation brings clarity and a few laughs. Tap follow, share with a friend who loves shop talk, and leave a quick review telling us which sold-car price surprised you most.

We sit down with newly appointed Houston Auto Show president Rochelle Salinas to unpack what it takes to steer a legacy event through inventory shortages, EV uncertainty, and shifting manufacturer strategies while still delivering experiences people can feel.Rochelle shares concrete updates: Camp Jeep is confirmed, a curated luxury showcase with Modern Luxury is on deck, and outdoor ride-and-drives with Toyota, Subaru, and Stellantis remain a highlight. We're adding expert-led tours that group vehicles by real buyer needs—SUVs, trucks, family cars—so you can compare fast, ask smart questions, and leave informed. Inspired by trips to LA, New York, and Chicago, we're bringing an overlanding zone to Houston, complete with camping setups and Scout partnerships to make it hands-on and family friendly.Community impact gets real with Houston Give Back Day, created with the partner Boat Show to spotlight roughly 20 nonprofits and on-site blood donation. We also celebrate the rapid growth of the student technician competition at Texas State Technical College in Rosenberg—23 teams, scholarships, cash, and tools—building the talent pipeline our industry needs. And for a dose of car culture history, Jeff revisits the Vertipak era, when Chevy shipped Vegas nose-down to pack more cars per railcar, a bold logistics gamble that changed how vehicles move across the country.We close with a detailed review of the 2026 Chevy Trax. It's a small SUV with a big value story: clean design, an excellent infotainment screen, surprisingly lively 1.2-liter turbo performance, and near-30 mpg combined, all at a compelling price point. If you're weighing Trax vs Trailblazer, AWD needs, or interior tech, you'll get the clarity you're looking for.If you enjoyed this conversation, follow and subscribe, share it with a friend who loves cars, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find the show.

With the weather changing toward Winter, it is a good time to check our batteries, so we decided to revisit an earlier discussion to start ... the discussion.Ever wonder why your car starts strong some mornings and struggles on others? We take you under the hood of battery choices that actually affect daily reliability, from budget-friendly picks at big-box stores to premium designs built for harsh conditions, high-current audio builds, and weekend toys that sit for weeks at a time. Our goal is simple: help you pick a battery that fits your vehicle, your climate, and your lifestyle without wasting money on features you don't need.We move brand by brand through a no-nonsense ranking: EverStart and Interstate for accessible value, Motorcraft and AC Delco for OEM confidence, Bosch for dependable mid-tier coverage, and Antigravity for lithium lightness where every pound counts. For enthusiasts and workhorses, we break down why XS Power and Odyssey excel under heavy loads and frequent deep cycles, and how their warranties and construction translate into fewer headaches over years of use. Then we spotlight DieHard's enduring reputation and Optima's spiral-wound advantage, explaining RedTop vs YellowTop vs BlueTop so you match cranking power, deep-cycle resilience, and marine readiness to the job at hand.Along the way, we unpack AGM versus traditional flooded lead-acid, when lithium makes sense, and how to read warranty terms that actually protect you. We also cover practical buying tips: verifying group size and reserve capacity, understanding OEM recommendations, and deciding when paying more now saves you from a tow later. If your vehicle has added lights, winches, or a big audio system, or if it sits for long stretches, you'll walk away knowing which chemistry and brand can handle the load with fewer surprises.If this helped you think smarter about batteries, subscribe for more straight-talk car guidance, share with a friend who loves a weekend project, and leave a quick review to tell us which brand has lasted the longest for you.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.

SLEEPING THROUGH THE CAR SHOW by 101.9POR
The headlines say EVs are the future. The fine print says “not so fast.” We dig into a turbulent moment for electric vehicles as incentives fade, demand cools, and automakers rework plans in ways that actually make sense for drivers. From Acura and Nissan pauses to Ram and Porsche pivots, we unpack why hybrids and range-extended powertrains are stepping into the spotlight and what that means for costs, performance, and everyday usability.We also talk design evolution—how aerodynamics and smarter packaging have turned efficient cars from awkward experiments into desirable daily drivers. Think of the latest Prius: low drag, sleek lines, and real-world efficiency that doesn't scream “compromise.” But progress is messy, and our recall rundown proves it with issues ranging from wiring and battery cables to pedestrian warning sounds and tailgates. We keep it useful: what's affected, why it matters, and the simple steps to protect your car and your wallet.Then the fun part—real auction results on classics and cult favorites. A 1970 Cadillac DeVille convertible, a strong-spec '66 Chevy Nova, a rust-sensitive Datsun 280Z, a four-door '57 Bel Air cruiser, a driver-grade '66 Mustang, a tidy Triumph TR6, and a cheerful '71 Beetle convertible. We guess the hammer prices, reveal the numbers, and extract the lesson each sale teaches about condition, originality, and market appetite. It's a guided tour of what's hot, what's fair, and where the deals hide.Looking to get out and drive? We've got cruise-ins and car shows across Texas—family-friendly events, charity tie-ins, and plenty of chrome and stories. Whether you roll in a hybrid, a V8, or a classic twin-carb roadster, there's a parking spot and a conversation waiting. Hit play to get smart on the EV reset, stay current on safety, and sharpen your buyer's eye for the next great garage find.

Engines, honor, and a Main Street that turns into a living museum—this is how a small Texas town makes car culture feel like a civic holiday. We sit down with the Bastrop Car Cruisers to map the two‑day plan: a laid‑back Friday cruise‑in and a sold‑out Saturday showcase capped at 400 cars. They walk us through the choreography you never see—numbered curbs, early‑morning parking crews, tight coordination with police and fire, and a judging system that keeps 33 classes fair by sending the same judges to the same cars. The result is a show people trust, and it fills fast.Bastrop's character powers the experience. Main Street is dense with restaurants and boutiques, the museum opens its doors to veterans, and the courthouse memorial anchors a veterans march led by bagpipers and ROTC. Proceeds fund veteran services, local food pantries, and automotive scholarships, backed by sponsors like Craig's Jewelry and Covert Chevrolet and a long list of donors fueling a silent auction. It's a reminder that great car shows don't just entertain—they invest back into the people who make them possible.We also take a detour into the “good old days” of buying a car with real window stickers from a Mach 1 Mustang, a C3 Corvette, and more—when destination charges were $74, $5 bought antifreeze, and $188 got you a four‑speed.Then we hand you five fall routes tailor‑made for sports cars and copilots: Blue Ridge Parkway, Cherohala Skyway into Nantahala, Talimena Scenic Byway, Arkansas's Pig Trail, and Scenic Highway 7. Curves, color, and small‑town stops turn miles into memories.Love cars, community, and a great story? Hit play, subscribe for more deep dives into real car culture, and share this with a friend who needs a road trip. Got a favorite small‑town show or fall route we should cover next?

Want fall roads that aren't just postcards but proper drives? We lay out a practical, enthusiast-friendly map of autumn routes that pair tight turns with big color: Blue Ridge Parkway's banked curves and layered foliage, the Cherokee and Nantahala forests with their 900–5,000 ft rhythm, Talimena's ridgetop vistas in the Ouachitas, and Arkansas's double feature—Highway 23's Pig Trail and the long, rolling canvas of Scenic Highway 7. You'll hear when to go for peak hues, where the panoramas hit hardest, and why these segments keep both the driver and the passenger happy.Then we flip through real-deal window stickers from the “good old days,” decoding how options once defined personality: four-speeds that changed everything, drag packs that whispered intent, and destination fees that existed long before today's eye-poppers. Without EPA labels cluttering the page, these Monroneys reveal a different buyer mindset—displacement, gearing, tires, and paint telling a clear story about purpose and pride. It's nostalgia with numbers, not just vibes.We close with a candid review of the 2025 Toyota Prius that might change your mental picture. Sleek lines, serious aero, and 220 combined horsepower turn a former punchline into a compelling daily. The two-cluster cockpit works well, the ride is smooth, and the real-world fuel numbers impress even without plugging in—while the plug-in capability adds flexible range for short commutes. Pricing spans the low 30s to mid-40s as tested, with few direct rivals matching its mix of efficiency, design, and usable torque. If your garage makes room for roads that wind and cars that earn their keep, this one's worth a test drive.If you enjoy these road-tested routes and candid reviews, follow the show, share with a friend who loves fall drives, and leave a quick rating—what route should we feature next?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.

Shoppers are researching harder and buying faster, and the old guesswork about what to stock is getting expensive. We sit down with Shannon Pinto, VP of Statistical Surveys at Trader Interactive, to pull back the curtain on how real DMV registrations and real-time marketplace behavior from RV Trader, Cycle Trader, and Boatline turn into a clear picture of demand—down to the ZIP code, make, model, and even RV configurations like slide-outs and sleeping capacity. If you run an RV, marine, or powersports dealership, this is a tactical map for smarter inventory, sharper marketing, and better show results.Shannon explains how their team blends DMV records with first-party search and click data to show what's actually selling and what shoppers are hunting for right now. We walk through concrete use cases: choosing which units to haul to a combined auto and boat show, balancing new versus pre-owned mix by neighborhood, and targeting local demographics with creative that speaks to real buyers. We also talk access and privacy—why Statistical Surveys serves businesses, how private info stays protected, and how a Carfax-like history layer is rolling out for marine listings to help reduce risk for buyers and sellers.Beyond the interview, we round out the episode with racing highlights, a tour through pivotal auto history moments—from early EV experiments and Ford's moving assembly line to OPEC's shock and Tesla's supercharger buildout—and timely industry news, including supply chain impacts to aluminum-bodied trucks and a major lending investigation. The throughline is simple: when you align registrations (what sold) with marketplace intent (what's about to sell), you make better calls, faster.

Ever felt your stomach drop at the top of a blind hill? We handed the wheel to Olivia, a 21-year-old nursing student and brand-new Bronco owner, and watched a long day in the Texas Hill Country turn nerves into mastery. With guidance from veteran auto journalist Sue Mead, Olivia moves from classroom theory to real trail work—learning why GOAT Modes matter, how hill descent control actually feels, and where a forward-facing camera turns guessing into precision. The payoff arrives on a feature aptly nicknamed “roller coaster,” when faith in the process replaces fear of the unknown.We dig into what the Bronco Off-Roadeo delivers for drivers at every level: structured coaching, expert spotters, and a terrain course designed to show how lockers, low range, and smart calibration create grip when the world tilts. New Bronco owners get a complimentary pass within a year, but anyone can book a half-day program and bring guests along. Beyond the dust, the skills transfer directly to night drives on unlit back roads and winter commutes—scan wider, place tires deliberately, and keep momentum measured. Olivia's biggest takeaway is simple and powerful: the vehicle doesn't want you to crash, but it's your steady hands and clear head that make the difference.Then we pivot from trail to tarmac nostalgia with a frank look at muscle cars that wore the jacket but didn't have the jab—emissions-era legends that taught us the cost of letting marketing outrun engineering. To close, we map five Oktoberfests worth your miles—from La Crosse's riverside tradition and Denver's keg bowling to Fredericksburg's Hill Country polka, Helen's Bavarian lean-in, and Cincinnati's colossal Zinzinnati celebration. Come for the Bronco insights, stay for the car culture stories, and leave with a plan to drive smarter on every surface.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves the Bronco or good car stories, and drop us a review with the one off-road feature you can't live without.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.

Buckle up for a high-octane exploration of automotive industry trends and challenges that are reshaping the market landscape. We dive deep into the alarming rise of "credit bust out" scams targeting dealerships, where criminals orchestrate the purchase of multiple vehicles through falsified loan applications before credit reports can catch up. One brazen example involved financing six vehicles worth $385,000 through five different lenders in just four days—a stark warning for dealers and lenders alike.The electric vehicle revolution faces a critical juncture as the $7,500 federal tax credit expires and California Governor Newsom reverses course on state subsidies. Major automakers, including GM, Toyota, and Volkswagen, are pushing back against aggressive emissions standards that would require up to 56% of new vehicles to be electric by 2032. The consensus among our hosts? Perhaps it's time for EVs to compete on their own merits without government assistance.Family drama takes center stage in Massachusetts, where brotherly love has given way to courtroom battles at a Toyota and Volvo dealership. The shocking lawsuit alleges financial misconduct, including the termination of salary and health benefits while one brother was recovering from throat cancer. Meanwhile, American Honda pulls the plug on the Acura ZDX after just one model year, and aftermarket giant First Brands Group prepares for bankruptcy with $6 billion in debt.There's encouraging news on the regulatory front as the new NHTSA administrator pledges to modernize outdated rules that hamper innovation. Plus, we highlight exciting upcoming car shows including the Painted Church Cruise and Heroes and Hot Rods Veterans Weekend.Ready to join the conversation about the future of automotive?

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.
