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.

REK Car Club and Bosque Farms Car Show founders, Richard and Eddie Keller invite the RIG boys to talk cars, motos and cool events in the "murder bus" somewhere in the woods east of Albuquerque. After a very successful Bosque Farms Car Show event in August, REK Car Club also presented a vinatge car show at Rust is Gold Coffee's monthly Cars and Coffee in September. The hardest working family in car events still has a passion for growing the car scene in New Mexico.
The show opens with a brief, and completely off-topic, conversation about whether or not Tom smells spicy. Listen in for the verdict. Tom shared brief impressions of the 2025 Lexus RX 500h F Sport Performance AWD, noting that the premium midsize crossover was over-named by a few syllables. That said, Tom is very impressed with the vehicles. The hosts went on the talk about Ram's decision to kill—before introduction—the Ram REV electric pickup truck. The story gets a little complicated. Listen in for details. Among other news, Tom shared information regarding Chinese carmakers turning to Magna International, and its Steyr manufacturing facility in Austria, for regional production. Chinese EV builders are looking to dodge European tariffs by assembling cars on the continent. Still in the first segment, Jill reviews the 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid, noting that the maker's compact car lineup is now mostly hybrid powered. In the second segment, Jill and Tom welcome Don Sikora of Collectible Automobile to the show. Don shared highlights of the October 2025 issue of the classic-car magazine, which is on newsstands now. A feature story about the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, written by podcast regular Sam Fiorani, was discussed at length. See our Facebook page for information regarding subscribing to the magazine. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Partridge or President” quiz, in which she must determine if a given person was a cast member of “The Partridge Family,” or a former Ford CEO.

Music. On today's episode we dig into Kia's troubling engine recall investigation, the surprising Nissan victory in J.D. Power's Initial Quality survey, and the classic car that left us disappointed after driving it. We also review the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, discuss Ford's push for affordable EVs, stolen-car trends, listener classic-car questions, and a quick Mazda CX-90 report.
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?

13.08.2025 pt 2 In a wide-ranging and unapologetically honest chat, comedian Kurt takes us from the smell of leather bench seats in classic cars to the uncomfortable sting of racism, making the case for humor as a bridge between people. Along the way, he rips into modern cars' soulless designs, the quirks of South Africa's “celebrity” class, and why some insults sting more in certain cultures than others. There's no sacred cow — whether it's customer service disasters, the politics of apologies, or the absurdity of cancel culture, Kurt calls it as he sees it. The conversation swerves between personal and political — one minute dissecting the global decline of genuine fame through the lens of Will Smith, the next debating the raw power of swear words and whether censoring them just makes them stronger. From the grind of running a comedy club to the difference between killing it on stage versus online, it's a masterclass in navigating the modern cultural minefield — all ending with a hilariously bittersweet sign-off about birthdays, ghosted dates, and funeral fashion.

CEO and co-founder of Jaunt Motors chats classic car conversions. Plus, Giles Parkinson returns to talk MG, Essential Energy's V2G play, and news of the week.
The auction block comes alive across the Upper Midwest in this dynamic exploration of recent sales and upcoming opportunities with America's Land Auctioneer hosts Andy Mrnak and Jim Sabe.In the rolling green landscapes of Buffalo Gap, South Dakota, and the bustling main street of Bowman, North Dakota, recent auctions have showcased everything from pristine farm equipment to collector-worthy vehicles. A 2014 John Deere tractor with low hours commanded $67,000, while classic car enthusiasts drove bidding to $44,500 for a 2008 Shelby Mustang GT500 with just 2,050 miles. Perhaps most heartwarming was the donation auction of a 2015 Tiffin motor coach that brought $172,500 for the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame, with bidders flying in from as far as Michigan.The hosts provide valuable market insights throughout - front-wheel assist tractors and four-wheel drives maintain strong values, while the once-hot market for "square body" Chevy pickups shows signs of cooling as more inventory becomes available. Clean, well-maintained equipment stored indoors consistently outperforms similar aged machinery with weather damage, underscoring the importance of proper care for maximum return.For landowners considering selling, the conversation shifts to strategic auction planning, with fall (September-December) and spring (February-June) identified as prime selling seasons. The upcoming 20th anniversary Western Dakota Land Auction takes center stage as a premier multi-day event bringing together sellers and qualified buyers from across the country, particularly for properties with valuable water features.Whether you're looking to turn equipment into cash, transition farmland to new ownership, or simply understand current market conditions, this episode provides a comprehensive roadmap through today's agricultural auction landscape.

Darin Roberge is a veteran executive, analyst, and thought leader in the collector and classic car scene. As president of Motor Works Marketing, publisher of the Z 260 newsletter series, and current caretaker of Arizona Car Week, Darin has helped shape the future of America's most iconic car events while championing nonprofit causes and classic car culture. On this episode we talk about: Early hustle lessons: From picking up dog poop at a humane society to refereeing youth basketball, Darin learned early the value of doing work you genuinely care about—and how passion can shape a career. Pursuing what you love: Darin's entire professional life has revolved around his core interests—animals, guitars, cars, and motorcycles. He describes his path not as accidental, but as a blend of deliberate choices and seizing “right place, right time” opportunities. Unusual entry to the car business: After attending car auctions for years, a fateful incident (his girlfriend slipping and falling on a car at an event) led to a backstage introduction to the CEO of Russo and Steele. Within months, Darin went from punk rock frontman and nightclub promotions to a leadership role at one of the industry's major auction houses. Reinvention and loss: The sudden career shift wasn't easy—Darin lost friendships and faced accusations of “selling out.” He discusses the emotional fallout, what it means to outgrow old circles, and why ultimately you're the only one responsible for making decisions that serve your future self. Mindset and skill-building: Darin credits humility, a willingness to learn, and constantly offering value as his keys to success, both in the boardroom and as a leader in car culture. Leveling up in the industry: Now as the head of Arizona Car Week, Darin has tripled the size of the event, rallying the local community to create a car show that includes 30+ events—many of them free—making the culture accessible to everyone, not just millionaire collectors. Community impact: Arizona Car Week is a $300M economic engine for the region, supporting jobs, tourism, schools, and local infrastructure. Nonprofit innovation: Darin's newest ventures—Motor Works Gives and Classic Cars for Nonprofits—offer zero-cost, low-lift fundraising programs to help organizations monetize car donations and auction opportunities, raising over $25M for more than 40 organizations since 2018. Key advice: Life is long, and you're never “locked in.” If you're facing a major (possibly terrifying) change, be tough, stay open, seek positive outside passions (like boxing or music), and surround yourself with people who help you evolve. Top 3 Takeaways Don't Wait for Permission—Make Your Own Luck: Sometimes radical life changes—no matter how uncomfortable—open doors to once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Community and Flexibility Matter: Listening to your audience, staying humble, and being willing to adapt are essential for building lasting business and personal impact. Work That Means Something—To You and Others: Forget “get rich quick.” If you stay engaged with work you care about and strive to help your community, profit and fulfillment follow.

What do classic Mustangs, skyrocketing health premiums, and hidden insurance landmines have in common? Broadcasting live from the Big Red Lion Car Show at Leprino Foods, Fix It Radio kicks off with sizzling sausage sandwiches, chrome-packed nostalgia, and the best car show food in Denver. But beneath the sunny skies and polished hoods, a storm brews—one that could impact your wallet and your well-being. Why is a supposedly nonpartisan state agency using political blame games to explain a 28–40% increase in health insurance premiums? Is Medicare really your best option at 65—or could staying on your employer plan save you thousands? And what happens if your doctor refuses to take Medicare patients at all? Paul LoNigro from https://e-gia.com/ (GIA) doesn't hold back, calling out misleading headlines, exposing scare tactics, and breaking down the real drivers of rising premiums—like Obamacare mandates and the collapse of mid-sized insurers. And if you've ever wondered whether to choose Medicare Advantage or stick with Original Medicare and a supplement, this segment delivers the critical answers most people miss. But the surprises don't stop there… Could taking a lump-sum retirement distribution triple your Medicare premiums? Are you unknowingly locking yourself out of coverage options by missing a crucial six-month window? And what happens when your dream classic car gets totaled—only for your insurance to cover a fraction of its value? As the guys swap stories about restoring Mustangs, skipping arcades for carburetors, and how today's paint tech makes yesterday's muscle look like primer, they drop one last truth bomb: If you're insuring a classic on your standard auto policy, you're doing it wrong. From tax-free HSA tips and navigating Medicare chaos to insuring the car of your dreams the right way—this is the episode you didn't know you needed to hear. Cars. Coverage. Controversy. What could go wrong when politics, premiums, and pony cars collide? Tune in to https://fixitradio.com to find out more.

Car buying should be exciting, not a minefield of potential fraud and deception. Yet two alarming lawsuits from Florida reveal the dark side of automotive retail, where unsuspecting customers discovered their "new" vehicles had hidden histories. One buyer found his pristine Land Cruiser had nearly 5,000 miles on the odometer despite being sold as factory-fresh, while another learned her Jeep had previously been titled to a leasing company—information deliberately concealed during the sale.These cautionary tales highlight why thoroughly examining documentation before signing is crucial. As one host suggests, having an attorney review purchase papers might seem excessive, but could save thousands in the long run. While the vast majority of dealerships operate honestly, these instances remind us to verify everything independently, especially when significant investments are involved.Meanwhile, Ford Motor Company has established an unfortunate industry record with 89 recalls issued so far this year—more than the next five manufacturers combined. Their latest recall affects 850,000 vehicles with potential fuel pump failures that could cause dangerous engine stalling. Ford claims to be taking a "more proactive approach" to safety issues, but the sheer volume raises questions about underlying quality control.The automotive financing landscape continues to shift toward concerning territory. A record 19% of new vehicle buyers now commit to monthly payments exceeding $1,000, while 22% have stretched loan terms to 84 months or longer. These extended financing arrangements might make monthly payments more manageable but dramatically increase total ownership costs and potential negative equity situations.Electric vehicle adoption faces headwinds as well, with new EV registrations dropping 5.9% in May—the second consecutive monthly decline despite attractive incentives. With the $7,500 federal tax credit set to expire September 30th, potential buyers should consider acting soon if an electric vehicle is in their future plans.Whether you're shopping for your next vehicle or maintaining your current one, staying informed about these industrBe 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 special In Wheel Time replay - Ever wandered through a museum where cars aren't just machines, but masterpieces? Mary Agrusa takes us inside the Savoy Auto Museum in Cartersville, Georgia, where vehicles are displayed with the reverence typically reserved for fine art. "We consider this really more an art museum dedicated to the automobile," Mary explains, and her passion for automotive history shines through as she guides us through exhibits that tell stories beyond horsepower and torque figures. Each vehicle comes with a reader board that doesn't just list specifications but delves into fascinating backstories—why a particular model succeeded or failed, its historical significance, or quirky facts about its design. Visitors can walk 360 degrees around most cars, appreciating them from every angle under specially designed lighting that showcases their sculptural qualities. From an untouched 1925 Model T about to celebrate its 100th birthday to the elegant lineup of Studebakers charting the company's evolution, the museum offers something for casual visitors and dedicated enthusiasts alike.The Savoy isn't just preserving automotive history; it's inspiring the next generation. After their 1959 Plymouth Savoy named "Beatrice" participated in the Great Race (before unfortunately dropping two cylinders in West Virginia's mountains), local schools were inspired to build their own race cars for future competitions. This hands-on approach to automotive education perfectly complements the museum's mission to make car culture accessible and engaging for everyone.Switching from classic to contemporary, Don Armstrong takes us behind the wheel of the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus, and his enthusiasm is immediate. With its door-to-door digital display spanning the entire dashboard, this midsize SUV redefines interior luxury. Assembled in Hangzhou, China, the Nautilus combines elegant exterior styling with a smooth turbocharged powertrain that achieves impressive fuel economy. As Don puts it, "It gets an A-plus for attractiveness," positioning it as a standout option in a competitive segment that includes the Mercedes-Benz GLC and Genesis GV70.Whether yoBe 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.

Market Trends and Smart Collecting Rupert Banner demystified current auction markets, noting a shift toward modern collectibles and younger buyers. He stresses the value of detailed provenance and emphasizes: “There is so much more value in just owning something and enjoying it... the car may be a conduit to new opportunities, relationships, and experiences.” Cars as a Reflection of Identity and Community Tamara Warren explored how classic cars are powerful symbols of personal legacy and social connection. "To be a collector is actually to be a steward of a legacy," she noted, highlighting the responsibility and joy of carrying forward the story of each car, brand, and community. The Future: Innovation Meets Heritage Matt DeLorenzo and the panel tackled the balance between preservation and modernization, think EV conversions, restomods, and the ethics of “continuation” models. As Matt put it: “Even if there's the rise of the self-driving car, people look at automobiles as a form of recreation... it's a lifestyle, it's a community that's not going to go anywhere.” Call-to-Action Here's your one assignment for the week: Find a car that has personal meaning to you, whether it's a car you grew up with, saw in a movie, or admired from afar, and dig into its story. Look it up, read about it, maybe even check the market. You might discover a connection that turns into a future project, or at the very least, a deeper appreciation for what makes these vehicles legendary.
