The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Welcome to the first week of February, and welcome to guest host Steve Greenfield of Automotive Ventures. Today, we're discussing all the ramifications that President Trump's latest round of tariffs will have on the automotive industry. Plus, we cover Tesla's plans to move more Cybertrucks and why the cost of Super Bowl ads is rising.A fresh round of tariffs signed by President Trump is sending shockwaves through the North American auto industry. With 25% duties on vehicles and parts from Canada and Mexico, and a 10% levy on Chinese imports, automakers and suppliers are bracing for rising costs, potential production shutdowns, and fierce retaliation from trade partners.The tariffs are set to go into effect on February 4, and Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum have pledged retaliation, which could further escalate trade tensions.Prices of vehicles could increase by thousands, like the Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, and Ram 1500 (built in Mexico), the Toyota RAV4 and Tacoma (built in Canada/Mexico) and the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Bronco Sport, and Maverick (built in Mexico)John Bozzella, President for the Alliance for Automotive Innovation: “We support efforts to strengthen the U.S. auto industry, but across-the-board tariffs on Canada and Mexico will only increase costs, disrupt supply chains, and put jobs at risk. We want to work on solutions that achieve the president's goals and preserve a healthy, competitive auto industry in America.”Tesla's Cybertruck sales are falling flat, forcing the company to roll out heavy incentives—including free $6,000 wraps and new leasing options. With demand far below expectations, questions are mounting about whether the Cybertruck is turning into Tesla's first major flop.Tesla launched Cybertruck leases in the U.S., starting at $750/month, a move typically reserved for vehicles with slowing demand.Buyers of Foundation Series Cybertrucks now get a free wrap worth $6,000 as Tesla struggles to clear inventory.Sales have been underwhelming—despite 1M+ reservations, Tesla has sold fewer than 40,000 units, with some analysts estimating that number may drop to 30K in 2025, far below its planned 250K annual capacity.With Super Bowl LIX just around the corner, advertisers are shelling out a record $8 million per 30-second spot. Some big names are sitting this one out—including most automakers—while AI, snacks, and tech brands dominate the lineup.At least 10 commercials have sold for $8M each, up $500K from last year—the biggest price hike in recent Super Bowl history.120M+ viewers expected on Fox and Tubi, making it the biggest stage for advertisers.Traditional big players like Anheuser-Busch, PepsiCo, Frito-Lay, Taco Bell, and Uber Eats are all in, but the only OEMs to appear will be Stellantis' Jeep and RamAI-focused ads and pharmaceutical brands are on the rise, while movie trailers and streaming services areHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email
The hosts opened the show discussing an article recently posted by Tom called, The Cybertruck is a Flop. Though the article covers the failures of the Tesla pickup truck from a number of angles, Tom primarily discussed the slow-selling vehicle's financial impact on Tesla's future. Still in the first segment, the hosts covered news of a potentially huge recall which would affect all of General Motors' large trucks, including the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. The recall would impact up to 900,000 vehicles equipped with the maker's 6.2-liter V8 engine. Next, Jill shared her impressions of the all-new Jeep Wagoneer S electric midsize crossover. The new Jeep promises more than 300 miles of range, and is being introduced only in Launch Edition trim. Listen in for prices. In the second segment, Jill and Tom are joined by Mazda's Jon Leverett, the maker's Launch Strategy Project Manager. Jon talked about the changing crossover segment, and Mazda's slow but purposeful move upmarket. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Best Selling Sedans” quiz, which includes a New Zealand fast-food bonus question.

Four white people have been arrested in Jackson, Mississippi while breaking into the Metrocenter mall in what looks to be an attempt to steal copper. We take a look back to a story from WLBT on Sept. 30th that claimed the current Metrocenter resident (a movie studio) claimed that Ayran Brotherhood gang members were stealing copper and transporting it to Houston for Mexican drug cartels. I initially called BS on this story, but now I'm questioning my original assumption. Below is the current story from WLBT JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Four people were arrested by the Jackson Police Department for Business Burglary among other crimes. Jackson Police Department Precinct Two Units responded to 3645 Metro Center Drive regarding a burglary in progress Thursday. Upon receiving a description of the suspects and the suspect's vehicle, officers were able to apprehend them on the top-level loading dock. Suspects forced their way into the building on the lower level of Burlington Department Store. The vehicle used in the crime was a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado truck with a switch tag. Located inside the vehicle were guns, burglary tools, and copper wire. Four suspects were taken into custody and transported to police headquarters to be interviewed. According to JPD, after the interview, the four suspects were booked into the jail on the following charges:

Business Insider dives deep into this obsession by analyzing 1.7 million listings on CarGurus to reveal surprising trends.America has the most cars per capita, and it defines much of our culture.Data shows that car choices reflect identity, financial status, and even political leanings.For instance: The top five most Democratic vehicles are the Toyota Prius, Audi A4, Kia EV6, Acura TL, and Jeep Commander. Meanwhile, the top five most Republican vehicles are the Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Gladiator, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Ford F-150, and Honda Odyssey.The Business Insider series also covers how car color has changed over the years with over 80% of cars now being black, white or gray and what are the most popular makes and models in different regions, A recent analysis by Edmunds reveals a sharp increase in negative equity among U.S. car buyers, with more people finding themselves upside down on their car loans than ever before.In Q3 2024, 24.2% of all vehicle trade-ins had negative equity, up from 18.5% of Q3 2023, with the average owed amount of $6,458 up from $5,808 in Q3 2023.Over 22% of consumers with negative equity are underwater by more than $10,000, with 7.5% owing $15,000 or more.The problem spans all vehicle types, with midsize SUVs (19.5%), compact SUVs (17.3%), and large trucks (10.3%) making up the largest share of trade-ins with negative equity."It's easy to assume that only specific consumers trading in higher-ticket luxury vehicles are the ones underwater on their car loans, but the reality is that this is a problem across the board," said Ivan Drury, Edmunds' director of insights.Sam's Club is introducing a groundbreaking, all-digital shopping experience with its newest store in Grapevine, Texas.

Paul Herrold of the Sons of Speed sits in for Jill again this week. Jill returns for the next episode. Paul and Tom opened the show discussing large pickup-truck sales. Tom had heard that the Chevrolet Silverado was outselling the Ford F-150 this year, which was inaccurate. Tom went down the list of the top pickup sellers in the third quarter. The hosts also noted General Motors' decision to drop the Ultium brand in relation to its electric-vehicle products. Ultium had been used by the maker to describe both vehicle architecture and battery chemistry. Listen in for a complete analysis. Paul and Tom went on to summarize Tesla's Robo Taxi reveal. The autonomous EV, intended initially for commercial ride-hailing use, features scissor-style doors, just two seats, and will not be equipped with a steering wheel or floor pedals. The hosts are skeptical. Tesla anticipates the Robo Taxi being available to users before 2027. Paul then talked about a Sons of Speed “The Lap” video, this one featuring the Subaru BRZ. Paul noted that even though the little Subaru isn't especially powerful, it is fun to drive in the right hands. In the second segment, Paul and Tom are joined by TELO CEO Jason Marks. Jason introduced the hosts to TELO, and its initial product, a pickup truck with the footprint of a Mini Cooper. Jason laid out near- and midterm plans for the TELO, including production and battery sourcing, as well as distribution. In the last segment, Paul is subjected to Tom's “Which Died Last?” quiz. To wrap up the episode, Paul shared some thoughts on the Subaru WRX, which he and fellow Sons of Speed editor Brendan Appel spent time with on the track.

Compact and Subcompact SUVs represented 25% of July's sales.

Overall EV Prices decreased by 1.5% year-over-year to $56,520.Tesla bucked the trend with an 11% ATP increase, reaching $59,593, driven by the Cybertruck's high price of over $100,000.Holman, a global leader in automotive services, has acquired a minority interest in FM Capital, a venture capital firm focused on early-to-mid stage technology companies in the automotive and transportation industries.This is the first time an integrated automotive services organization has acquired a general partner interest in an automotive VC.FM Capital specializes in transportation technologies, including dealership operations, autonomy, and electrification.Holman's venture capital arm strategically invests in early-stage businesses to stay ahead of industry trends.Polestar is gearing up for significant growth in the U.S., expanding its retail network to support a broader lineup that will triple in size this year.The EV brand plans to add 20 stores to its current 27-store network by the end of 2025.New models include the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4, with two more nameplates planned within the next two years.Residents near a Waymo robotaxi depot in San Francisco are being woken up by the cars honking at each other during the night, even though no one is inside them.The self-driving cars often get in each other's way when in this parking lot, triggering their honking systems to avoid low-speed collisions.Neighbors, who once welcomed the idea of quieter streets, are now frustrated by the noise that happens at all hours of the night, with some feeling there's no one to address the issue with.One resident, Sophia Tung, has turned the situation into a 24/7 livestream oHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

BREAK: CU of GA STORY 1: Marietta School Board to Vote on Millage Rate The Marietta Board of Education is set to vote on maintaining a flat millage rate of 17.97 mills for 2024, despite rising property values that would generate $4.9 million more in tax revenue, a 6.3% increase. This would mean an average tax increase of $225 for a $450,000 home. Superintendent Grant Rivera supports this to sustain current funding levels amid the end of federal COVID-19 aid. Board members generally favor the proposal, emphasizing competitive teacher pay and academic priorities. Public hearings are scheduled before the final vote, addressing community concerns today at the board headquarters in Marietta. STORY 2: ‘They are not forgotten': Daughters Remember ‘Chattanooga Fallen Five' in Canton A ceremony at Georgia National Cemetery in Canton honored the "Chattanooga Fallen Five," including U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Squire Kimpton Paul "Skip" Wells of Marietta, who was killed in a 2015 terrorist attack. Organized by the Daughters of the American Revolution Hightower Trail Chapter, the ceremony commemorated the victims with prayers, eulogies, and a wreath-laying at Wells' headstone. The event coincided with similar ceremonies nationwide for the other victims of the Chattanooga shooting. Wells, a Marine enlisted in 2014, was remembered for his service and contributions to his community, including having a post office and park named in his honor in Cobb County. His family was not present at the ceremony, and efforts continue to reach out to them in remembrance of their son's sacrifice. STORY 3: Delegate Diary:'… the best day ever.' The convention began with breakfast and a speech by Dr. Ralph Reed, emphasizing platform topics and support for President Trump. Delegates, including the narrator who is a whip, boarded a bus with Homeland Security checks en route to the arena. Security at the venue was thorough with canine units and bag checks. Inside, tasks were assigned, and excitement peaked with the announcement of J.D. Vance as the VP pick, met with unanimous approval. The narrator, enjoying the experience, highlighted meeting prominent figures like Newt Gingrich. The day concluded with a break, seeking a snack after a fulfilling start to the convention.

G'Day and welcome to Overdrive, where we take a populous approach to issues about cars and transport. I'm David Brown In the program Paul Murrell from seniordriveraus.com and I deliberate on • Car sales so far this year - Is it a correction or huge on-going trend • There's a new ute on the Australian market and we don't mean the KIA • Geographic boundaries and naming your car • Our young intern discusses the Nissan X-trail • Are the first Honda motor cars s600/s800 becoming collectable • And we look at the history of eight sports cars that didn't really make it Originally broadcast 20 April 2024 A more detail rundown of the program Car Sales for the first quarter of 2024 01:42 It is indeed now the FCAI, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries, has heralded the results for March this year, saying they surpassed the previous record, which was achieved in March 2018 and in fact year to date. Could the reason be that Toyota is finally appearing to have some supply to be able to sell. 03:55 Toyota must be very happy with the fact that hybrids are doing well. That is part of their big marketing. 04:21 Full electrics are about 9% of new car sales. Again is this just catching up with the rest of the world which is now showing some caution with electric vehicles 06:24 Federal Chamber of Automotive industries use the occasion to cast doubt about the New Vehicle Efficiency Standards Another New Ute of the Australian Market 07:50 There's a newcomer to the Australian market and it's not the Kia at this age, although that is coming. Is it? 10:00 China has many brands there were that we have never heard of. 11: 30 Other brands with utes, such as Great Wall Motors. LDV and SsangYong had a pretty good run but they are not doing as well this year. 12:54 How are the Pickups – the bigger than big utes going. RAM is down. New playes such as the Ford F150 and some upgraded versions of Chevrolet Silverado are doing well Alfa Romeo has a geographic name problem 14:11 DB A rose by any other name would smell as sweet Shakespeare? Alpha launched a new model and it's sort of a successor to the MiTo. So it's a small SUV, basically. Nissan X-Trail 19:15 Over the last year, Nissan has upgraded four of its important models. The three SUV's and their sporty Z, and included in the SUV's is their most popular. One of our young interns has had a look inside it and had. Very much a prominent front end. So my initial thought was it's a big, big SUV. But as I kind of worked my way from the front to the back, it kind of became more normal. More familiar. 20:27 And the colour the sort of pastel they're they're bringing out rich coloured pastels. If that's not almost a contradiction, it's a very serious paint job, but it's not bright red. Could The Honda S600 from the late 1960s be worth something 28:44 Haggerty, which is the American Classic insurance have noted that a number of cars cars are showing specific signs of gaining in value. Some are the very early tiny little sports cars from Honda the S600 and S800. Paul Murrell owned one. Did he regret selling it? 30:11 It was a delightful little car, a jewel of a car. Sports cars that didn't quite make it 33:27 MG VA (1937) 36: 19 Chevrolet Corvette (1953) 40:13 Mercedes-Benz 190SL (1955) 42:13 Porsche 912 (1965) 44:04 De Tomaso Mangusta (1967) 48:09 MGC (1967) 51:59 Ford Capri (1969) 56:25 De Lorean DMC-12 (1981)
The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
It's Friday already. Today we're talking about Tesla's official Cybertruck recall. We also discuss GM's innovative move into hydrogen fuel as a diesel alternative, as well as the high-stakes wealth race in Silicon Valley as Mark Zuckerberg surpasses Elon Musk to become the world's third-richest person. Show Notes with links:They can't fix this one with an over the air update. As a follow up to our story Monday, nearly 3,900 Cybertrucks from the 2024 model year are being recalled due to a risk that the accelerator pedal may dislodge and become trapped, potentially increasing crash risks.The defect could affect both accelerator and brake pedal torque, posing significant safety concerns, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.Deliveries of the Cybertruck are now officially delayed as Tesla addresses these issues with the accelerator pedal."Tesla is not aware of any injuries related to this defect," assured the company in its communication with the NHTSA. Tesla plans to notify affected owners in June 2024.It is unclear how the company plans to repair affected vehiclesGM is spearheading a new project to replace diesel engines with hydrogen fuel cells, debuting a medium-duty truck powered by hydrogen for Southern Co. in Georgia.The Chevrolet Silverado 5500 truck will feature GM's Hydrotec fuel cells, offering over 300 miles of range, weighs almost 20k pounds, and has the ability to generate 300 kilowatts—enough to power 250 homes.This initiative is part of the $65 million SuperTruck 3 program by the U.S. Department of Energy, aiming to explore hydrogen fuel's potential in heavy-duty vehicles and establish a microgrid for hydrogen fueling."This is the most exciting transformation I've been part of at GM," shared Mark Dickens, vehicle chief engineer for future fuel cell products, emphasizing the shift from concept to real-world application.Mark Zuckerberg has overtaken Elon Musk to become the world's third-richest person, with a net worth of $175 billion.Meta Platforms' stock has soared by 43% year-to-date, boosting Zuckerberg's wealth by $47.3 billion this year, while Tesla shares have plummeted nearly 40%, causing Musk to lose $55.2 billion.The stark contrast in company performance has significantly shifted their financial standings, with Zuckerberg's wealth heavily tied to Meta Platforms and Musk's spread across multiple ventures.Despite their competitive past, including a proposed but never realized cage match, their fortunes are now diverging sharply due to differing business outcomes.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email
G'Day and welcome to Overdrive a program that samples as much as it can of the delight of cars and transport I'm David Brown Interview Recently there was an article in a major media outlet on whether the amount of yellow light time at traffic lights is enough. The article had some one-dimensional comments so we thought we would here from an export and in doing so raised issues of real behaviour change, a lack of corporate memory in government departments and can a technical expert survive if he has a testy attitude. We are then joined by Brian Smith and discuss Social Media Posts Some listener feedback on our social media posts: • The Chevrolet Impala from the early 1960s – An icon and large design • The 1948 Wolseley that has been in the one family since 1952. Driving a huge ute And the driving experience of a very big ute. Chevrolet Silverado. What's it like to drive and is it a perfect car for towing or simply an environmental disaster. Some highlights from the program 03:40 The technical research behind changing the length of yellow time at traffic lights in NSW. In the late 1960s, the first section of the Sydney to Newcastle Freeway was constructed between Berowra and the Hawkesbury River, but the Hawkesbury River Bridge was still the old bridge, only two lanes wide. The merging of the traffic needed lights at the bottom of a steep hill. The three second yellow timing was not enough especially for trucks. 06:05 The technical person who led the research was a bit feisty, but was technically right and had a very strong sense of morality and duty in spending public money. Could such a person survive in the public service of today. 11:09 Was there an all-red period in the signal operations and what does that mean for driver behaviour 13:01 The suggestion of increasing the yellow time is like chasing your tail to solve one issues but creating many others. 20:45 There is a desperate need to do more than look at academic research. We need to have some corporate memory of what has been done in the past so we understand the present and so that we do re-work the same issues over and over again. 22:10 How do we detect traffic and make sense of what we think is happening? Some of the technology has been around for a long time but modern possibilities have yet to prove cost effective. 33:58 Feedback from listeners and social media. A 1948 Wolseley that has been in the one family since 1952. Was part of a television documentary about General Macarthur 36:02 Feedback about some pictures of the Chevy Impala. Brians favouite toy car when he was a child 39:18 The Chevrolet Silverado Pickup. David got to drive the new one while Brian hates the very thought of it.

G'Day and welcome to Overdrive a program that samples as much as it can of the delights of cars and transport I'm David Brown This week we go from the very small to the very large – is it the sublime to the ridiculous –and if so which is which. It all depends on your approach Road test A road test of the smallest mainstream car in our market the Kia Picanto Interviews And in the middle of that we went to the launch of the Latest version of the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Heavy duty pick up truck. I can't talk about driving just year (there is an embargo on that till a couple of week's time) but I spoke to the Lead Engineer on the Silverado line, out here from Detroit, and the General Manager of General Motors in Australia and New Zealand about the nature and role of these vehicles For more information Web Site: Driven Media: drivenmedia.com.au Podcasts iTunes: Cars Transport Culture Spotify: Cars Transport Culture Facebook Cars Transport Culture Instagram Cars Transport Culture Our YouTube site Cars Transport Culture Originally broadcast 9 March 2024

Welcome to a beautiful Wednesday in Retail Auto as we talk about GM's collab with the US Department of Energy on hydrogen powered vehicles. We also talk about Europe's efforts to enhance vehicle safety by bringing back buttons, as well as a new annual subscription from retail giant Target. Show Notes with links:GM has been awarded $26 million in federal funding to develop hydrogen fuel cell-powered medium-duty trucks, as a part of the U.S. Department of Energy's SuperTruck 3 program.GM will collaborate with Southern Co. and Nel Hydrogen US to introduce the trucks in Georgia, alongside efforts to establish a supportive hydrogen microgrid.The $65 million project, partially funded by the Energy Department and U.S. Army's Ground Vehicle Systems Center, aims for a 75% greenhouse gas emission reduction.The pilot trucks will mirror the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 5500 and will feature over 300 miles of range as well as the capacity to generate over 300 kilowatts of power.GM and Honda began producing hydrogen fuel cell systems through a joint venture near Detroit in January, and is working with Autocar Industries to put hydrogen fuel cells in vehicles such as cement mixers and roll-off trucks starting in 2026European car makers are being urged by the European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) to reintroduce physical controls for basic functions to enhance driving safety, effective from January 2026.Euro NCAP's new rules aim for cars to have tactile controls for essential functions, like hazard warning lights, indicators, windscreen wipers, SOS calls, and the horn, to maintain a five-star safety rating.The move addresses the risk of driver distraction caused by the prevalent use of touchscreens for key vehicle controls.Many manufacturers have moved to touchscreens as a cost-cutting method.Target announced the launch of Target Circle 360, a $99/year subscription program offering various benefits, including unlimited free same-day delivery, aiming to revitalize its e-commerce strategy.Target Circle 360 includes free same-day delivery (in some cases, under an hour) for orders over $35 and perks like two-day free shipping, leveraging Target's acquisition of Shipt for delivery logistics.CEO Brian Cornell emphasizes the program's role in meeting customer demand for convenience, while the company also revamps its free Target Circle loyalty program for added customer value."There's a guest who's looking for the ease and convenience of having something brought right to their home — in some cases, within an hour —and we just want to elevate the awareness that we can do that," CEO Brian Cornell expressed, underlining the strategic move towards improving Target's delivery services and customer satisfaction.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

Description:The ASOTU Crew is back in the saddle after an inspiring week at NADA. Today we're talking about the variety of recalls across multiple manufacturers. We're also covering Hertz's parting of ways with Polestar, as well as an impressive and sobering deepfake scamRecalls are everywhere in the news from tailgates that may pop open on the road to airbag anomalies and tiny-font safety warnings, as GM, Honda, and Tesla announce significant recalls affecting millions.GM announced recalls for 323,232 vehicles, including Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models, due to tailgates that could unexpectedly open, posing a road hazard.Honda is recalling over 750,000 vehicles in the U.S. for airbags that may deploy unintentionally, covering models like the Pilot, Accord, Civic, CR-V, and Passport.Tesla's largest recall to date affects about 2.19 million vehicles for warning lights with font sizes too small, risking crash due to unclear safety information. Over-the-air fixes are planned.GM will repair or replace the tailgate mechanisms on certain Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models to prevent them from unexpectedly opening.Honda plans to inspect and possibly replace the front passenger seat weight sensor in affected Pilot, Accord, Civic, CR-V, and Passport models to ensure proper airbag deployment.Tesla is issuing an over-the-air software update to adjust the font size of warning lights on the instrument panel for better visibility and compliance with safety standards. Amid a broader EV market downturn, Hertz is reevaluating its electric ambitions, pausing a significant acquisition of Polestar vehicles due to soaring repair costs and market uncertainties.Hertz is halting its plan to purchase 65,000 electric vehicles from Polestar, reflecting the changing dynamics of the EV market.This decision follows Hertz's recent move to sell off 20,000 EVs from its fleet, including Teslas and Chevrolets, driven by high maintenance expenses.The rental giant's pivot away from an all-electric fleet underscores broader industry challenges, with demand for EVs cooling and resale values dropping.Polestar, facing its own hurdles, adjusts to Hertz's decision amidst a pause in Volvo's financial support and missed delivery targets for 2023.In a sophisticated scam a finance professional from a multinational firm was duped into transferring $25 million through an elaborate scam, with the scammers using an impressive array of deepfake technology The scam involved a fake video call where criminals closely mimicked the appearance and voices of Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion
This time Hannah and Matt talk about the Mercedes-Benz sports car that Lady Diana loved–and when she drove one it caused a national scandal: The 90s-era Mercedes SL Class, aka the R129. The modern classic roadster is coming up in value and prominence. Then they discuss the car events you MUST do in 2024, from King of the Hammers and F1 in Las Vegas to Pike's Peak Hill Climb in Colorado and Goodwood in England. And Matt tells us why he loves the enormous Chevrolet Silverado 2500 ZR2 so much - even though there's only one diesel fuel pump in all of Manhattan. Do you have a question for us?

Benjamin and Sami jump into action this week to discuss two polar opposites in the automotive industry. First up Benjamin tests the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. This big bruiser of a pickup truck has a price that needs hauling, but is the equipment and experience worth it? Benjamin has plenty of stories from his time with the heavy duty truck as well as an important conclusion about these big ole pickups. Then Sami tests out the 2024 Hyundai Kona N-Line which has undergone a complete transformation for this year. Gone are the awkward lines and lame interiors and in their place is a sleek, high tech look with plenty of features. The old Kona was already one of the best in the segment, will these changes push it over the top? The guys wrap things up with an answer to a listener question about EVs before signing off for the week. Thanks for listening!

Embracing the RV life is a dream for many, but it has its challenges. One of the toughest moments for full-time RVers is when your home-on-wheels breaks down unexpectedly. RV Life When Your Vehicle Breaks DownRVs are like your mobile sanctuary, but what happens when your sanctuary breaks down? It's a scenario every nomadic traveler dreads. How to Manage Life Without Your VehicleWhen your vehicle is in the shop for repairs, you suddenly find yourself without your familiar abode. This can be a challenging adjustment, but it's essential to stay adaptable. Consider alternative accommodations like temporary rentals or reaching out to friends or family. Navigating the "National Back Order Registry" for Vehicle PartsIn recent years, the RV and vehicle industry has faced a supply chain crisis, resulting in a national backorder registry for vehicle parts. This means getting the necessary components for repairs can take longer than expected. To minimize delays, stay informed about the availability of parts, and be prepared for extended repair timelines.Challenging Your Vehicle's Warranty CompanyIf your vehicle is still under warranty, don't take "no" for an answer. Sometimes, warranty companies may try to deny coverage for repairs. Be persistent, document everything, and seek legal advice if necessary. Your warranty is there to protect you, so make sure you get what you're entitled to.Two Vehicles While Traveling: Pros and ConsSome nomadic travelers opt for two vehicles - their RV and a smaller, more fuel-efficient car. This offers greater flexibility and convenience but also comes with added expenses and logistical challenges. Finding Alternatives to Get the Vehicle FixedIn the face of parts shortages and repair delays, resourceful RVers have found non-traditional ways to keep their vehicles on the road. For example, services like "Circuit Board Medics" have helped fix complex electronic issues that have sidelined many Chevrolet Silverado vehicles for over 18 months. Exploring such alternatives can be a game-changer in the world of RV repairs.Proudly partnered with Teton Sports!

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Welcome to Wednesday as we talk about a very practical consumer communication tool that was released by Carvana. We also cover the end of the Nissan Titan as well as one loyal worker being given a well-deserved crowd funded retirement gift. We could talk about how UAW President Shawn Fain called Stellantis' contract proposal ‘trash' or how Honda's quarterly profits are up 78% year over year, but given you already know that, we're going to keep moving into some more practical stories this WednesdayCarvana has introduced a new tool, Carvana Value Tracker, allowing consumers to obtain and monitor their vehicle's valuation based on changing market conditions.The tool uses Carvana's proprietary technology and data from nearly 20 third-party sources to provide real-time vehicle worth.Andrew Dickerson, Carvana's director of engineering and special projects, emphasized the tool's aim to demystify car selling by providing actionable insights into a vehicle's value.“The car in a customer's driveway is likely one of the largest assets in their portfolio, and yet most have no idea at any given moment what that asset is worth. With Carvana Value Tracker, we are demystifying car selling by offering insight into a customer's car's value at any point in time, in a way that is actionable should they choose to sell.”The tool will soon feature biweekly updates and aims to provide more specific insights tailored to individual vehicles.The Titan has fallen as Nissan announces the discontinuation of its full-size pickup after 2024. Unable to rival giants like the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado, the Titan's sales never met expectations. The Titan, launched in 2003, never achieved its sales target of 100,000-200,000 units per year, with its highest sales reaching 87,000 and dropping to just 15,063 units in 2022.The Canton, MS plant, where the Titan is manufactured, will be retooled for electrified vehicles, with no expected job losses.Nissan had previously attempted a deal with then-Ram owner FCA to make the Titan a rebadged Ram 1500, but the deal fell through.While the Titan struggled, Nissan's midsize Frontier truck performed better, with sales of 76,000 in 2022, indicating a stronger position in the midsize pickup segment.After going viral on TikTok last year for receiving a goodie bag of some candy and just one movie ticket as a reward for never missing a day of work in 27 years, Burger King employee Kevin Ford was given a whopper of a retirement gift from supporters nationwide who banded together to raise $400k for his retirement.The fund was started by one of Ford's two daughters whom he raised as a single dadEven actor David Spade got in on the action, donating $5000 toward the fund and leaving an encouraging messageHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

In this episode: We talk about the Chevrolet Silverado EV WT (Work Truck), the new pricing, how it drives, the interior, how it tows, and its off-board charging capability. We talk with Kyle's Mom about replacing her Genesis GV60 with a Tesla Model Y Tom talks about driving the Cadillac Lyriq, including the results from his 70-MPH range test and charging experience. We discuss Electrify America, along with Volvo and Polestar, adopting the Tesla NACS charging connector.
On this week's Motor1.com Test Car Happy Hour, Senior Editor Jeff Perez and News Editor Chris Smith discuss the Audi Q8 Sportback E-Tron and Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 Bison.
Lexus has just unveiled two all-new vehicles that promise to shake up the burgeoning luxury SUV market in the United States. We were there for the “double feature” event where the Japanese luxury brand unveiled the all-new 2024 Lexus GX and the all-new 2024 Lexus TX. Staying connected while we are in our cars is critical for many of us. Now a new study shows just how important that is to American consumers and to the carmakers and data providers that are vying tooth and nail for what is predicted to be a giant market. We'll have details on that coming up. And just when you thought there were no more three-row SUVs to talk about, we have another for you. Buick has shown us a glimpse of the heavily revised 2024 Envision, and we'll tell you more. In the road test segment, Co-Host Chris Teague will describe his week-long experience with the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Host Jack Nerad will discuss the 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E, the all-electric Mustang crossover SUV. Our special guest this week is Jamie Zinser, Vice President, Global Automotive, Novelis Inc., and a prime mover in a consortium called Alumobility. Jack Nerad recently had a chance to talk with her about the value of using aluminum rather than steel in automobiles. Electric vehicles might well be the biggest beneficiaries of that. I'm certain you'll enjoy what she has to say. America on the Road is brought to you by Driving Today.com, Mercury Insurance, YourTestDriver.com, and EMLandsea.com , the publisher of Nerad's latest book, Dance in the Dark, which is available HERE on Amazon.com

This week on the show I share 3 CAN communication case studies. The first 2, a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan & a 2015 Jeep Wrangler that both have B+ shorted to the CAN C network from the same circuit, but with different causes. The 3rd vehicle is a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado with ECM codes for no communication with the fuel pump control module.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Friday, April 28th, 2023. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/04/27/argentina-shuns-u-s-dollar-will-pay-for-china-imports-in-yuan/ Argentina Shuns U.S. Dollar: Will Pay for China Imports in Yuan Argentina struck a deal with Beijing on Wednesday to stop using U.S. dollars to pay for Chinese imports and embrace the yuan instead. The measure, driven by Argentina’s leftist President Alberto Fernández, is designed to relieve the South American country’s dwindling dollar reserves, AP reports. The deal further enhances China’s rise on the world stage and the diminished role of the U.S. on a host of fronts under President Joe Biden. After reaching the agreement with various companies, Argentina will use the yuan for imports from China worth about U.S.$1.04 billion from next month, accelerating trade with China as Beijing seeks to gain a further foothold in South America. In November last year Argentina expanded a currency swap with China by $5 billion in an effort to increase its yuan reserves. That agreement allowed Argentina “to work on the possibility” of advancing the rate of imports with yuan-denominated import orders being authorized in 90 days rather than the standard 180 days. The decision comes as Argentina battles critical levels in its dollar reserves amid a sharp drop in agricultural exports caused by a historic drought, as well as political uncertainty ahead of elections this year. It has also been working hard to build a relationship with Beijing after having officially joined China’s infrastructure-building Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) last year. Argentina’s government finalized a deal with Beijing soon after to construct a nuclear plant based on Chinese technology near Buenos Aires, Argentina’s national capital, in the near future. The Chinese Communist Party will reportedly provide $8 billion in financing toward the project’s $12 billion total budget. As Breitbart News reported, Argentina currently owes the International Monetary Fund (IMF) $44 billion. The international organization is in talks with Argentine authorities to finalize a fourth review of its program that includes a flexibilization of the proposed foreign exchange reserve accumulation as Argentina, whose foreign reserves are now at a $5 billion deficit, cannot comply with the current goals. https://www.foxnews.com/world/singapore-executes-man-conspired-traffic-2-pounds-cannabis Singapore executes man who allegedly conspired to traffic 2 pounds of cannabis Singapore on Wednesday executed a man accused of coordinating a cannabis delivery, despite pleas for clemency from his family and protests from activists that he was convicted on weak evidence. Tangaraju Suppiah, 46, was sentenced to death in 2018 for abetting the trafficking of 2.2 pounds of cannabis. Under Singapore laws, trafficking more than 500 grams of cannabis may result in the death penalty. Tangaraju was hanged Wednesday morning and his family was given the death certificate, according to a tweet from activist Kirsten Han of the Transformative Justice Collective, which advocates for abolishing the death penalty in Singapore. Although Tangaraju was not caught with the cannabis, prosecutors said phone numbers traced him as the person responsible for coordinating the delivery of the drugs. Tangaraju had maintained that he was not the one communicating with the others connected to the case. At a United Nations Human Rights briefing Tuesday, a spokesperson called on the Singapore government to adopt a "formal moratorium" on executions for drug-related offenses. "Imposing the death penalty for drug offences is incompatible with international norms and standards," said the spokesperson, who added that increasing evidence shows the death penalty is ineffective as a deterrent. Singapore authorities say there is a deterrent effect, citing studies that traffickers carry amounts below the threshold that would bring a death penalty. The island-state's imposition of the death penalty for drugs is in contrast with its neighbors. In Thailand, cannabis has essentially been legalized, and Malaysia has ended the mandatory death penalty for serious crimes. Singapore executed 11 people last year for drug offenses. One case that spurred international concern involved a Malaysian man whose lawyers said he was mentally disabled. https://dailycaller.com/2023/04/26/red-state-bill-religious-institutions-state-funding/ Red State Passes Bill Allowing Religious Institutions Access To State Funding The Oklahoma House of Representatives passed a bill Tuesday protecting religious institutions from being denied access to state funding. The Oklahoma Religious Freedom Act was introduced by Republican state Sen. Shane Jett and Republican state Sen. Julie Daniels to further reinforce the First Amendment by preventing the state from denying faith-based groups access to taxpayer dollars, according to the bill. The legislature passed the act Tuesday by a 64 to 27 vote, officially sending the act to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt’s desk to be signed into law. The bill makes way for religious institutions to access state funding by barring the state from denying applications for funding “based solely on the religious character or affiliation of the person or entity.” The act adds to religious protections the state passed in 2021 preventing the government from declaring church activities non-essential, as was often the case during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, some Democrats argued that the bill was an unnecessary addition to the First Amendment, according to KFOR.com, a local media outlet. One Democratic state representative warned that the bill could lead to government funding of religious activities at religious schools. Republican state Rep. John Echols, who co-authored the bill, disagreed with his colleague’s assessment, according to KFOR.com. Oklahoma has been at the center of this discussion for some time. Earlier this month, Gov. Stitt and state Attorney General Gentner Drummond clashed over a Catholic charter school application that would have created the first state-funded religious charter school in the nation. The application was temporarily denied by the state’s virtual charter board but will be voted on again in the coming weeks. Stitt told the Daily Caller News Foundation that he was disappointed by the the attorney general’s response to the charter and continued to hope that Oklahoma would host the nation’s first state-funded religious charter school, providing more options for parents. Stitt, Jett, Daniels and Echols did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-ex-producer-suing-tucker-carlson-has-never-even-met-him?utm_campaign=64487 Ex-producer suing Tucker Carlson has never even met him Tucker Carlson Tonight producer Abby Grossberg is suing Carlson and the Fox Network over sexual behavior in the workplace, despite never having met Carlson in person. The Spectator reports that lawyers for Grossberg have confirmed that she never actually met Carlson. "Like many on the [Tucker Carlson Tonight] staff, Abby never met Tucker Carlson in person because he taped the show from his personal studios in Maine and Florida, and he did not visit Fox's NY HQ during her time there," said one of Grossberg's attorneys Kimberly A. Catala. Grossberg was the head of booking from July 2022 until she was recently placed on leave in March. She "alleges that Carlson encouraged a hostile and sexist workplace environment among his employees. Grossberg says she was subjected to bullying, antisemitic comments and sexism by staff while working out of Fox’s Manhattan office," Spectator reports. Despite never having met Carlson, Grossberg told rival network MSNBC that "Tucker and his executive producer Justin Wells, who was also fired, really were responsible for breaking me and making my life a living hell." "Since Tucker did not come to the Fox office, he relied on Justin Wells, his executive producer, and others like Alexander McCaskill, senior producer, who were present in the office every day to be his eyes, ears and mouthpiece, and to convey his ‘tone,’ as they threateningly reminded Ms. Grossberg," Catala said. The allegation per Grossberg's attorneys is that Carlson directed the "sexist" environment from afar. Apparently, the attorneys posited that Carlson had staff work as his "eyes" and "ears" in the New York office while he worked away in Maine. Carlson and Fox parted ways on Monday morning, though promos for the evening's show were already airing as the press release from Fox went out. It is unclear as to why Fox dismissed the insanely popular news anchor, though speculation abounds, including that Fox owner Rupert Murdoch took issue with Carlson's Christian beliefs. Carlson has been seen in Florida enjoying time with his wife, and laughing about finally being able to dine together on weeknights. His show has been on the air for 7 years, and in that time he amassed a loyal following. In the hours following his departure from the network, "RIP Fox News" was trending on Twitter as many viewers found they had no reason to tune in once Carlson was no longer on the air. The end of the Tucker Carlson Tonight era was celebrated by AOC, who had called for federal regulation of Fox and Carlson, which routinely took aim at her and her shenanigans. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/26/us/colorado-rock-throwing-arrests.html 3 Teens Charged With Murder in Rock-Throwing Spree That Killed Colorado Driver Three teenagers have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with a rock-throwing spree on Colorado roads last week that led to the death of one driver, the authorities said. The three suspects, all 18 and identified as Joseph Koenig, Nicholas Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak, were arrested on Tuesday evening at their homes in Arvada, Colo., for taking part in a series of rock-throwing episodes on April 19 that fatally wounded Alexa Bartell, 20, who was killed when one of the rocks smashed through her windshield and struck her, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office announced on Wednesday. In addition to murder, the three men are charged with extreme indifference; other charges to be determined by the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office are expected. It was not immediately clear if the three, who are seniors from different high schools, had lawyers on Wednesday. The rock-throwing spree began shortly after 10 p.m. on April 19 in Westminster, Colo., which is a city of about 114,000 residents north of Denver, the authorities said. During that hour, the authorities said, the three drove a pickup truck around the county and threw large landscaping rocks at six vehicles, including a minivan and an S.U.V., hitting their windshields and driver’s side windows. Those drivers had minor or no injuries. Around 10:45 p.m., Ms. Bartell was driving north on Indiana Street when her Chevrolet Spark, a subcompact, became the last vehicle struck during the spree, the authorities said. Moments before she was killed, Ms. Bartell was on her phone talking to a friend “when the phone went silent,” according to the sheriff’s office. Her friend tracked her phone and drove to the location on Indiana Street where she found Ms. Bartell “fatally wounded inside her car, which was off the roadway in a field.” It was unclear which of the men were driving but “all three are suspected of throwing rocks,” the sheriff’s office said. They were believed to be in a black 2016 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. “Ultimately, mobile device forensics and supporting information from the public helped lead to the identification and arrest of the suspects,” according to the sheriff’s office, which did not release additional details. The men, who were booked into the jail at the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, are scheduled to appear in court on Thursday. Before we end today… how about some good news?! https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/mom-wins-lottery-with-ticket-she-bought-celebrating-daughters-victory-over-cancer/ Mom Wins Lottery with Ticket She Bought Celebrating Daughter’s Victory Over Cancer After shelling out her life savings to pay for her daughter’s breast cancer treatment, a Florida grandmother got a nod from the universe. Buying the last available scratch-off from her preferred lottery game at the store, she landed a $2 million jackpot. Geraldine Gimblet of Lakeland was celebrating the moment that her daughter, Lawrencia Jackson, rang a bell at the local hospital signifying she had finished her breast cancer treatment. A long-time lottery player, Gimblet, 74, spent $10 on the last scratch-off card at the store, and it happened to be a winner. “I just didn’t know,” Gimblet told Good Morning America regarding her reaction,, ‘Are you sure, would you check this on your phone?’ And, I won!” Daughter Jackson, who accompanied Gimblet to the Tallahassee lottery offices to accept a lump sum of $1.6 million, described it as a “blessing.” Gimblet didn’t hesitate to finance the cancer treatment, saying she just “did what I had to do,” with Jackson adding that she would “just have to keep loving her,” as a means to try and repay the kindness. +-

John Echols, who co-authored the bill, disagreed with his colleague’s assessment, according to KFOR.com. Oklahoma has been at the center of this discussion for some time. Earlier this month, Gov. Stitt and state Attorney General Gentner Drummond clashed over a Catholic charter school application that would have created the first state-funded religious charter school in the nation. The application was temporarily denied by the state’s virtual charter board but will be voted on again in the coming weeks. Stitt told the Daily Caller News Foundation that he was disappointed by the the attorney general’s response to the charter and continued to hope that Oklahoma would host the nation’s first state-funded religious charter school, providing more options for parents. Stitt, Jett, Daniels and Echols did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-ex-producer-suing-tucker-carlson-has-never-even-met-him?utm_campaign=64487 Ex-producer suing Tucker Carlson has never even met him Tucker Carlson Tonight producer Abby Grossberg is suing Carlson and the Fox Network over sexual behavior in the workplace, despite never having met Carlson in person. The Spectator reports that lawyers for Grossberg have confirmed that she never actually met Carlson. "Like many on the [Tucker Carlson Tonight] staff, Abby never met Tucker Carlson in person because he taped the show from his personal studios in Maine and Florida, and he did not visit Fox's NY HQ during her time there," said one of Grossberg's attorneys Kimberly A. Catala. Grossberg was the head of booking from July 2022 until she was recently placed on leave in March. She "alleges that Carlson encouraged a hostile and sexist workplace environment among his employees. Grossberg says she was subjected to bullying, antisemitic comments and sexism by staff while working out of Fox’s Manhattan office," Spectator reports. Despite never having met Carlson, Grossberg told rival network MSNBC that "Tucker and his executive producer Justin Wells, who was also fired, really were responsible for breaking me and making my life a living hell." "Since Tucker did not come to the Fox office, he relied on Justin Wells, his executive producer, and others like Alexander McCaskill, senior producer, who were present in the office every day to be his eyes, ears and mouthpiece, and to convey his ‘tone,’ as they threateningly reminded Ms. Grossberg," Catala said. The allegation per Grossberg's attorneys is that Carlson directed the "sexist" environment from afar. Apparently, the attorneys posited that Carlson had staff work as his "eyes" and "ears" in the New York office while he worked away in Maine. Carlson and Fox parted ways on Monday morning, though promos for the evening's show were already airing as the press release from Fox went out. It is unclear as to why Fox dismissed the insanely popular news anchor, though speculation abounds, including that Fox owner Rupert Murdoch took issue with Carlson's Christian beliefs. Carlson has been seen in Florida enjoying time with his wife, and laughing about finally being able to dine together on weeknights. His show has been on the air for 7 years, and in that time he amassed a loyal following. In the hours following his departure from the network, "RIP Fox News" was trending on Twitter as many viewers found they had no reason to tune in once Carlson was no longer on the air. The end of the Tucker Carlson Tonight era was celebrated by AOC, who had called for federal regulation of Fox and Carlson, which routinely took aim at her and her shenanigans. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/26/us/colorado-rock-throwing-arrests.html 3 Teens Charged With Murder in Rock-Throwing Spree That Killed Colorado Driver Three teenagers have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with a rock-throwing spree on Colorado roads last week that led to the death of one driver, the authorities said. The three suspects, all 18 and identified as Joseph Koenig, Nicholas Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak, were arrested on Tuesday evening at their homes in Arvada, Colo., for taking part in a series of rock-throwing episodes on April 19 that fatally wounded Alexa Bartell, 20, who was killed when one of the rocks smashed through her windshield and struck her, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office announced on Wednesday. In addition to murder, the three men are charged with extreme indifference; other charges to be determined by the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office are expected. It was not immediately clear if the three, who are seniors from different high schools, had lawyers on Wednesday. The rock-throwing spree began shortly after 10 p.m. on April 19 in Westminster, Colo., which is a city of about 114,000 residents north of Denver, the authorities said. During that hour, the authorities said, the three drove a pickup truck around the county and threw large landscaping rocks at six vehicles, including a minivan and an S.U.V., hitting their windshields and driver’s side windows. Those drivers had minor or no injuries. Around 10:45 p.m., Ms. Bartell was driving north on Indiana Street when her Chevrolet Spark, a subcompact, became the last vehicle struck during the spree, the authorities said. Moments before she was killed, Ms. Bartell was on her phone talking to a friend “when the phone went silent,” according to the sheriff’s office. Her friend tracked her phone and drove to the location on Indiana Street where she found Ms. Bartell “fatally wounded inside her car, which was off the roadway in a field.” It was unclear which of the men were driving but “all three are suspected of throwing rocks,” the sheriff’s office said. They were believed to be in a black 2016 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. “Ultimately, mobile device forensics and supporting information from the public helped lead to the identification and arrest of the suspects,” according to the sheriff’s office, which did not release additional details. The men, who were booked into the jail at the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, are scheduled to appear in court on Thursday. Before we end today… how about some good news?! https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/mom-wins-lottery-with-ticket-she-bought-celebrating-daughters-victory-over-cancer/ Mom Wins Lottery with Ticket She Bought Celebrating Daughter’s Victory Over Cancer After shelling out her life savings to pay for her daughter’s breast cancer treatment, a Florida grandmother got a nod from the universe. Buying the last available scratch-off from her preferred lottery game at the store, she landed a $2 million jackpot. Geraldine Gimblet of Lakeland was celebrating the moment that her daughter, Lawrencia Jackson, rang a bell at the local hospital signifying she had finished her breast cancer treatment. A long-time lottery player, Gimblet, 74, spent $10 on the last scratch-off card at the store, and it happened to be a winner. “I just didn’t know,” Gimblet told Good Morning America regarding her reaction,, ‘Are you sure, would you check this on your phone?’ And, I won!” Daughter Jackson, who accompanied Gimblet to the Tallahassee lottery offices to accept a lump sum of $1.6 million, described it as a “blessing.” Gimblet didn’t hesitate to finance the cancer treatment, saying she just “did what I had to do,” with Jackson adding that she would “just have to keep loving her,” as a means to try and repay the kindness. +-
This week on the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams interview Mike Schneider, Dealer Principal of Jim Taylor Motors in Fort Benton, MT. How does one become a dealer principal by 30 years old? What nuggets of knowledge has Mike learned in his automotive career? What is it like to be a dealer principal in a small Montana community? Mike Schneider knew from an early age that his goal was to become a dealer principal at a Ford dealership. Mike credits his time as a performance trainer for advancing his understanding of what makes a good, well-rounded manager. He learned that he couldn't expect sales to go up if, as the boss, he didn't put money into advertising, and in that same vein, he can't expect a better performance from a car salesman if, as a manager, he isn't promoting training. The new automotive mindset has moved away from the sink-or-swim mentality to more internal investments and personal investment to build up the sales team as a team. Management is the key skill that many people in the automotive industry struggle with, so listen in to see what lessons Mike Schneider can impart so you can take your automotive career to the next level! About Mike Schnider Mike Schnider grew up with a dad in that business, and as a kid, Mike worked on his dad's buy-here-pay-here lot in Spokane, Washington. During that time, Mike discovered his life goal to be a dealer principal of a Ford store. He started selling cars for a franchise auto dealer as a summer job in his second year playing college football. From there, Mike worked his way from sales to finance manager to the used care manager to general sales manager. Moving to the corporate side of the business doing performance training with dealerships around the country, the opportunity to purchase my Ford, Chevy, and GMC points became available. In 2019 Mike took over the dealerships and completed the full purchase of the facility and points in 2022, making Mike a first-generation dealer and sole dealer principal.

Gonzalo Lopez the hunt is over, #GonzaloLopez #FugitiveEnforcement #nypd #escapedprisoner One of the most dramatic manhunts in Texas history ended late Thursday when a convicted murderer who had escaped from a prison bus last month was killed in a shootout with the police, hours after he became the prime suspect in the killing of five people at a home, the authorities said. The convict, Gonzalo Artemio Lopez, had been the prime suspect in the murders of four minors and one adult whose bodies were discovered on Thursday at a home near where he had escaped in May. The authorities said he had taken a vehicle from the home, a white Chevrolet Silverado, to drive out of the area. Late on Thursday night, police officers in Jourdanton, Texas, spotted Mr. Lopez, 46, driving the missing vehicle and disabled it by putting spike strips on the road, Jason Clark, the chief of staff at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, told reporters. Jourdanton is south of San Antonio and more than 200 miles southwest of the area where Mr. Lopez had escaped. After a short chase, Mr. Lopez crashed the vehicle into a tree and began shooting at the officers, who returned fire and ultimately killed him, Mr. Clark said. Mr. Lopez, who was armed with an AR-15 rifle and a pistol, fired several rounds at the officers but none of them were struck, he added. “I will tell you that we are breathing a sigh of relief that Lopez will not be able to hurt anyone else,” Mr. Clark said. When Mr. Lopez escaped from a prison bus on May 12, he had been serving sentences for crimes that included killing a man with a pickax. After his escape, he topped the state's most wanted list, and by the time he was killed, the authorities were offering $50,000 in exchange for information leading to his arrest and conviction. The bus Mr. Lopez escaped from last month had been transporting him and 15 other inmates to a medical appointment. As it approached Centerville, a city about halfway between Houston and Dallas on Interstate 45, he broke free of his shackles, attacked the driver and drove the bus for a mile before losing control and escaping into a cow pasture.
