Big luxury meets real-world testing as we put the fully redesigned 2025 Infiniti QX80 Autograph through its paces and ask the question that matters: does six-figure comfort justify its place among Escalade, Navigator, and Grand Wagoneer? We break down the Autograph's quilted-leather lounge, massaging seats in two rows, digital rearview mirror, and 14.3-inch infotainment, then pair it with hard numbers from the new twin‑turbo V6—450 hp, 516 lb‑ft, 8,500‑lb towing—and a calm, air‑suspended ride that makes interstate miles easy.From there, we switch gears to the six‑wheel, three‑axle world and separate sizzle from substance. Better weight distribution, extra traction, and added stability make sense for heavy loads and deep sand or mud, but the price in complexity, repair logistics, and fuel or range drag is real. If you've ever wondered whether 6x6 is practical or just a flex, this segment gives you the trade-offs you need.We also share two electric standouts. First, a sharp, long‑wheelbase performance EV with 615 hp that nails design and daily usability: a huge integrated screen, smart column shifter that frees console space, and confident acceleration. Then we move to Volvo's EX40 Twin Motor Ultra—clean styling, pixel headlights, and a plush, quiet ride—balanced by a touch‑heavy interface that turns simple tasks into multi-tap routines. We compare charging times, cost per mile, and where each lands against Tesla Model Y Performance, Mustang Mach‑E GT, Ioniq 5 XRT, EQB, Q4 e‑tron, and GV60.A quick stop at Cadillac Ranch reminds us why car culture still matters: specs are great, stories are better. If you're weighing a luxury SUV or hunting for an EV that fits real life, you'll leave with the numbers, context, and a clear sense of trade‑offs.

Send us a textBarney was the first of our live interviews at the 2025 Classic Car Show at the NEC.As Andy's boss, he's known Barney for 18 years, but this is the first time he had interviewed him. We start things off with a bucket and a gritty sponge, with him helping to clean his Dad's yellow Mk1 Escort Mexico. We stay in that car for drives to the South of France, including knocking the exhaust off on the ferry with some frequency. There was a teacher at Barney's school with an RS500 Cosworth, and a sixth former with a Beetle. Naturally, as the CEO of Heritage Parts Centre, we spoke about how Barney got into VWs - it was the Bug Jam coverage on TV, which he saw at school that set the spark inside him. Elsewhere, there's mention of his Nans interest in British sportscars, and how she almost got a Morgan, but by the time her name came up on the waiting list, she was too old to get in and out of it!Find out more about Heritage Parts Centre here: www.heritagepartscentre.com or follow Barney online at www.instagram.com/barneyceoA big thanks to our new podcast sponsor Viking Covers.If you are looking for quality and customizable indoor or outdoor vehicle covers please go check them out. www.vikingcovers.co.ukWe'll be telling you more about these guys soon - stay tuned.Support the showWe'd love you to hear and share your stories, please tag and follow us on social media. www.instagram.com/mydadscar_podcastwww.Facebook.com/mydadscar podcastwww.buymeacoffee.com/mydadscarIf you'd like to support the podcast and are able to, you can ‘buy us a coffee' which will help towards costs of hosting and purchasing equipment to allow us to record guests in person, rather than just on zoom.

We continue our 2025 End Of Year look...Looking for clarity on your next daily driver? We put two very different paths under the microscope: Volvo's 2025 EX40 Twin Motor Ultra with its tight, tech-forward approach to electrification, and Chevrolet's 2026 Tahoe Premier 4WD with big V8 torque, real towing, and road-trip comfort. The contrast reveals what you truly trade—time at chargers for quiet torque, touchscreen taps for minimal cabin clutter, and fuel costs for full-size capability.We start with the EX40's foundations in the XC40 platform and talk through what carries over and what improves. Pixel headlight tech, a 12.3-inch driver display, and a nine-inch center screen give the EV a modern face, but burying basic functions in software adds friction—like needing four taps to power down. We share cost-per-mile numbers from a 270-mile run, why a slightly faster charge still matters, and how the twin-motor setup's 402-hp equivalent translates to daily confidence. Safety pedigree remains a Volvo hallmark, but we ask the hard question: does the interface help or get in the way?Then we climb into the Tahoe Premier. A 6.2-liter V8 paired with a 10-speed transmission delivers 420 horsepower, 460 pound-feet, and up to about 8,200 pounds of towing, backed by Magnetic Ride Control and a surprisingly maneuverable feel for its size. Inside, the horizontal 17-inch infotainment display and 15-inch head-up display keep vital info easy to parse, while optional rear screens keep passengers entertained. We compare it directly with Ford Expedition, Toyota Sequoia hybrid, Nissan Armada, and GMC Yukon, and weigh where the Tahoe earns its price: space, visibility, and hardware that just works.Between test drives, we take a joyride through 1970s custom van culture—shag carpet, side pipes, and airbrushed fantasy—and swap stories on the “five worst cars,” from Pinto to Aztek, separating legend from reality. By the end, you'll know whether you're better off with an EV that prioritizes safety and sleek software or a full-size SUV that delivers straightforward strength and family-ready comfort.If you enjoyed this review mashup and the car-culture detour, follow, share with a friend, and leave a rating.

We wrap up the year with two radically different drives, one honest verdict. We put the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata through its paces to see if a featherweight roadster with a manual top and a “butter” shifter still delivers peak driving joy in a world of screens and mega-SUVs. Then we jump into the 2025 GMC Acadia Denali to test whether a quiet, tech-rich, seven-passenger family hauler can feel premium without feeling ponderous, and how its turbo power, towing rating, and Denali hardware stack up against segment favorites.We start with design that tells the truth. The Miata's long hood, short deck shape and crisp fender lines aren't nostalgia plays; they're a blueprint for balance and feedback. Inside, space is tight by intent, storage is minimal, and everything you touch feels straightforward and well judged. The two-liter engine's 181 horsepower rides an ideal power-to-weight ratio, delivering real-world pace, great fuel economy, and handling that begs for backroads. We underline who it fits, who it doesn't, and why its clarity of purpose is its superpower.From there, we scale up to the Acadia Denali and its different kind of promise: room for seven, quiet cruising, and tech that actually helps. The 15-inch center display, 11-inch driver cluster, surround-view cameras, rear camera mirror, and one-touch folding third row raise daily ease. The turbo 2.5 with 328 horsepower and a 5,000-pound tow rating brings capability, while the Denali's suspension tuning keeps it poised. We parse real-life fuel economy, pricing that climbs with options, and comparisons to the Kia Telluride and Chevrolet Traverse to help you decide if the Denali premium is worth it.We close by getting real about classic cars: rare parts, higher maintenance costs, limited safety, storage and theft risks, and why resto-mods can be both dream and headache. Plus, a tour through banned, crushed, and forgotten muscle legends that almost changed the landscape. If you love driving feel, need family flexibility, or dream of garage icons, this review gives you the tradeoffs and the wins. Enjoy the ride, then share your pick, subscribe for more real-world reviews, and leave a rating to help other car lovers find the show.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.

Ready for a real-world look at two very different small SUVs? We put the 2025 Subaru Forester Premium Hybrid AWD and the Kia EV6 GT-Line AWD through their paces and compare what matters when you're not reading a brochure. From highway range and cabin comfort to pricing ladders and charging access, we cut through the noise and share where each vehicle genuinely excels.We start with the Forester Hybrid's practical package: wide-opening doors, an insulated windshield that calms road noise, and a friendly cabin anchored by a 12.3-inch digital cluster and 11.6-inch infotainment screen. The 2.5-liter boxer with dual motor-generators delivers 194 horsepower and relaxed pace, while our 32.3 mpg over nearly 400 miles shows the kind of efficiency you can bank on. We break down the cost to step into the hybrid trim and how it stacks up to the CR‑V Hybrid, RAV4 Hybrid, Sportage Hybrid, and CX‑50 Hybrid so you can make the numbers work for your commute and weekend runs.Then we shift to the Kia EV6 GT-Line AWD, a standout with fresh styling, a sweeping display, and a smart center console that actually improves daily use. Instant torque, refined manners, and a realistic 275-mile range make a strong case for drivers with home charging and predictable routes. We're candid about pros, cons, and pricing—what surprised us, what didn't, and why the EV6 still feels special even as the segment heats up.To round things out, Jeff shares straightforward tips for starting a car collection on a budget: pick a theme, plan storage, network for knowledge, and build a list before you buy. Whether your heart leans hybrid practicality or EV excitement, you'll leave with clarity about which trade-offs fit your life. If you enjoy transparent reviews and useful takeaways, follow the show, share this episode with a friend, and leave a quick review so we can help more drivers find the right ride.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.

Big power, big space, and even bigger holiday plans. We put the all-new 2025 Ford Expedition Max under the microscope, from its streamlined grille and clever two-piece tailgate to a fully revamped interior with twin screens and a sliding center console that actually changes daily usability. With 400 horsepower, 480 lb-ft of torque, and up to 9,000 pounds of towing, the Max Platinum proves it can haul, cruise, and carry with confidence. We share true-to-life fuel economy, where it shines on ride quality, and why a hybrid option could be the smartest next step. Plus, we stack it against Suburban, Yukon XL, Sequoia, and Armada to help you decide what belongs in your driveway.Then we hit the map with road trips that wrap driving fun in holiday magic. Start in Chicago and glide to Frankenmuth's Little Bavaria charm and Bronner's Christmas Wonderland. Chase lights and live music across the Texas Hill Country, from Grapevine to Fredericksburg to San Antonio's River Walk. Crave snow? Cross the Cascades to Leavenworth, Washington, for carolers, nutcrackers, and alpine energy. Prefer a slower pace? Wander Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway to see the Biltmore Estate sparkle, or make a quick East Coast run from Philadelphia's Christmas Village to New York City's iconic tree and window displays.We close with a no-nonsense guide to RV laws that keep your holiday rolling instead of ruined. Learn why overweight rigs are dangerous and costly, where parking gets you ticketed, how propane rules shift by state, why belts matter for every passenger, and what boondocking boundaries you must respect. Whether you're picking a full-size SUV or plotting a festive escape, you'll leave with practical insight, smart safety tips, and a shortlist of destinations worth the drive. If you enjoyed the ride, follow the show, share it with a road trip friend, and drop a review telling us where you're heading next.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Prices keep climbing, patience keeps thinning, and the smartest car on the lot might be the one that's two or three years old. We sit down to explore why a crowd-pleaser like the VW ID. Buzz is slipping from the U.S. launch calendar, how an $80,000 price tag changes the conversation, and where EVs still struggle to deliver everyday convenience for people without home charging. From the Detroit Auto Show preview to the North American Car, Utility, and Truck of the Year buzz, we connect the headlines to real buyer decisions.Our take on affordability gets practical fast: a $5,000 difference can flip a purchase when the competing vehicle offers more features or utility. We break down why late-model off-lease cars remain the sweet spot, even as the market feels the aftershocks of COVID-era production cuts. Then we zoom out to tariffs and USMCA dynamics shaping what gets built in the U.S., and why the playing field among American, European, and Asian brands feels more level than ever. With fewer true lemons on sale, lifetime cost and ownership experience become the real story.Reliability and complexity take center stage as we examine turbo longevity, hybrid durability, and the sticker shock of modern repairs, like a $6,000 turbo swap. On the EV front, the pain points are clear: battery longevity anxiety, charging standards and adapters, and the simple truth that the five-minute gas stop still fits many lives better than public chargers. We round things out with a quick, candid guide to RV laws most people ignore, from weight limits and seatbelts to boondocking and propane safety.If you care about getting the best value for your money, understanding how policy nudges production, and choosing tech that won't bite you later, you'll find this conversation timely and useful.

Jill and Tom open the show addressing two high-profile electric vehicle cancellations announced this past week. First the hosts discuss the end of production for the Ford F-150 Lighting, which came as something of a surprise to both Jill and Tom. Also covered is news that Volkswagen will not be importing a 2026 edition of the spunky ID. Buzz electric minivan. Will the ID. Buzz be back for 2027? Jill and Tom speculate. Still in the first segment, Jill reviews the Ford Maverick Lobo. Lobo is a new sporty Maverick variant, and it sounds like fun. Listen in for Jill's take on the potentially entertaining-to-drive small pickup truck. In the second segment, the Hosts welcome Rob Howard, CEO of Kindred Motorworks to the podcast. Kindred restores classic cars, some of which become battery powered in the process. Rob talks about the restoration process, and the level of engineering that is invested in each new model the company adds to its lineup. Listen in for details. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Is it a Mercury?” quiz.
A twelve-year-old car can be a trusty friend or a looming money pit—and most of us don't know which until a big repair lands in our lap. We sat down with RepairSurge CEO Jon Vorisek to unpack a clear, data-driven way to decide whether to fix an aging vehicle or sell it with confidence. Drawing on usage patterns across manuals for 10,000+ models, John breaks down which repairs usually pay for themselves and where to draw the line using a simple 50-75-100 percent framework tied to your car's value.We walk through real-world scenarios—the “cheap” cabin filter buried behind a dash, DIY oil changes that aren't worth the disposal hassle, and the stealth costs of design choices that turn a $20 part into a two-hour job. You'll learn how the buyer's “uncertainty tax” works when selling a car with issues, why repairing before selling can net more money, and how to compare total cost of ownership per mile if you're eyeing a used replacement. John also shares the evolution of RepairSurge from a CD-ROM to a cloud platform with step-by-step procedures, wiring diagrams, torque specs, and live parts pricing you can pull up on any device.We round things out with quick hits from the automotive world: Formula 1's 2026 pivot to lighter, smaller cars aimed at better racing, NHRA team moves, NASCAR charter dynamics, and a tour through auto history from Lincoln's aircraft roots to the Superbird's NASCAR quirks. Plus, we touch on today's market headwinds—from tariffs to a cooling EV demand curve—and why those forces shape what we buy, fix, and sell.If you've got a high-mile car and a tough decision, this conversation gives you the math, the context, and the confidence to choose well.

Want to know what actually moves the needle in modern Top Fuel? We bring Antron Brown into the shop and pull the tarp back on the Performance Racing Industry show, the small edges that decide Sunday, and the strategy behind building a champion when the big power gains are gone. This is a story about tools, people, and timing.We start where the real work happens: aisles of new coatings, valves, intakes, CNC upgrades, and welders that shave hours in the shop and deliver repeatable performance at the track. Antron explains how PRI helps teams compare innovations, strike deals, and spot the one tweak that becomes a tenth. From Machinery Row to limited-time discounts, it's the tech pipeline that fuels a season.Then we dig into 2025. The car was fast and qualified near the front, but razor-thin margins swung the wrong way. Antron talks candidly about matchup luck, when to roll the dice, and when spinning the tires is a self-inflicted wound. With the field locked on power, he outlines the next frontier: process. Enter John Medlen, joining Brian Corradi and Brad Mason to sharpen R&D, discipline, and the tiny checks that make a setup repeatable. With AB Fab, the team can machine, iterate, and respond faster than the calendar.We also explore a second AB Motorsports car with Angelle Sampey. The plan is careful, built on seat time, system comfort, and sponsor partnerships that make growth sustainable. Antron's history with Angelle—back to U.S. Army Pro Stock Motorcycle—shows why trust compounds speed. And yes, the rival to beat is clear: Coletta Motorsports. The path forward is equally clear—do the small things right, every round.If you love racing tech, team-building, and the mindset that wins when everyone is fast, this one's for you.

Merry Christmas 2025! This week we sit down with special guest Andrew Olsen, a man who was born into the classic car trade working in and around some of the world's best restoration projects. Andrew has founded a new company called Classic Motor Consultants, a business dedicated to applying a professional project management structure to classic vehicle restorations. A big thank you to Andrew for joining us on the show this week, we hope you find our chat informative and entertaining as always.
Engines draw a crowd, but design keeps people talking. From a lively morning at Tailpipes and Tacos, we sit down with architect and hot rodder Marshall Reed to explore how a thoughtfully built '32 Ford roadster can bridge craftsmanship, culture, and the pure joy of driving. His satin black, brushed finish and hand pinstriping show how restraint and texture can be more striking than a mirror glaze, while a ZZ4 350 and Tremec five-speed deliver the kind of engagement only a three-pedal car can give.We trade stories from the Austin Roundup—how the vibe shifted from tripod-friendly nights on South Congress to curated, policed corridors—and what that means for today's scene. The conversation widens to the Houston Roadster Club and Bruce's Rod Shop, where builds become classrooms and new enthusiasts find mentors. Then a Brazilian-market VW Bus, complete with curtains, becomes a perfect metaphor: remove one small detail and it's just a bus; add it back and a whole lifestyle appears. That's the heart of customization—small, intentional choices that turn a parts list into a personality.Between laughs and margaritas, we detour into delightfully odd racing formats—lawnmowers, figure-eight trains, and a pig-hauling tractor sprint in Tillamook County—before grounding the show with a clear-eyed look at the Tricolor bankruptcy and how to protect yourself with titles, financing, and trustworthy dealers. We wrap with automotive history notes that connect Pontiac's streamlined 1937s, Chrysler's wedge V8s, Corvette's production leap, and the first-gen Prius—all milestones that show how innovation and accessibility keep car culture moving.If you love hot rods, design details, and the community that makes it all possible, you'll feel right at home. Subscribe, share with a fellow gearhead, and leave a review telling us the one small detail that makes a car unforgettable.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.

Step into a Texas cruise-in where the smell of fajitas meets fresh tire shine and a toy drive turns a casual meet into a community mission. We're live from Tailpipes & Tacos, swapping stories with Sheila about drag racing memories, family traditions, and a simple idea with big impact: a kids' car show that teaches respect for classics from day one. From pedal cars with grandkids' names to the unwritten “look, don't touch” rule, we map how the next generation learns to love cars the right way.We also get practical. Jeff's Motor Minute lays out a winter driving plan you can use tonight: real winter tires with the mountain-snowflake symbol, steady inputs on slick roads, and a trunk kit stocked with blankets, food, lights, and tools. Then we get hands-on with the refreshed Kia EV6—distinctive design, comfortable cabin, and usable tech—while calling out the real-world range and the ongoing headache of public charging. The verdict: EVs can be great, but for many drivers, hybrids offer the sweet spot of power, efficiency, and freedom from range anxiety.What ties it all together is the vibe: no politics, no drama—just friends, family, and machines that bring people closer. You'll hear why this meet feels different, how small acts like donating a toy build a bigger culture, and what to consider when choosing your next daily driver. If you love honest car talk, warm community energy, and tips you'll actually use, this one's your lane.If you enjoyed the show, follow and subscribe, share it with a car friend, and leave a quick review—what's your favorite cruise-in story?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.

The cables were messy, the mics were hot, and the parking lot was already full when we sat down with Dano—Navy and Marine veteran, Region 5 Toys for Tots coordinator, and proud VW bus owner. What followed was a lively ride through car culture, community, and the nuts-and-bolts work that turns one toy into a holiday morning breakthrough.Dano rolls up in a 1974 Brazilian VW bus, a perfect entry point into a world where affordable classics still exist and weekend campouts feel like time travel. We dig into the differences between Brazilian and German buses, why a turnkey 30–50K bus beats a “rust bucket” restoration for most people, and how a modest 42 horsepower can carry a family farther than a spec sheet suggests. From curtains and pop-top campers to a prize-winning garage queen, Dano's stories capture why these quirky machines keep gathering people around them. He even shares how a Houston VW club grew from seven members to nearly 800 by staying welcoming and driving often.Then we switch gears to the mission: 28 years of Toys for Tots service, year-round. Dano breaks down the real logistics—unwrapped toys go to a Tomball warehouse, every item is counted, sorted by age and need, then bagged for registered nonprofits and families. Teens and kids with special needs are included, as are practical items like clothing and socks. A donated 27-foot truck was filled three times in a day because the need is that big. It's not a seasonal gesture; it's a supply chain for joy.We also run through the week's best cruise-ins, from Cypress to Clear Lake, and share frank thoughts on EV charging: adapters, access headaches, and why reliability matters. Whether you speak in volts or carburetors, the goal is the same—keep people moving and make the journey feel good.If you love car stories with heart, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a smile, and leave a review to help more folks find the show.

Velkommen til Bilklubben Podcast! Dine værter i denne uge er Anders Richter, Christian Grau og Nils Petter Bro. I afsnit 210 har vi udskiftet studiet med Café Sommersko.Grau får ny 'kasket' og har været i Firenze for at køre den opdaterede Toyota Aygo X.NP har nyt med om den indiske ambassadebil.I nyhederne vender vi den åndelige efterfølger til Lexus LFA - Toyota GR GT.Auktionsnyt omhandler hammerslaget på McLaren F1 med dansk islæt og legendarisk autograf-sandwich.Ugens bil er Hyundai Ioniq 9, som vi giver point.Brevkassen er igen fyldt med spørgsmål fra alle jer lyttere.Verdens sværeste bilquiz kommer fra en lytter og har temaet: "biler til bane og gade, der er blevet samlerobjekter".Afsnit 210 er publiceret d. 15. december, 2025.
Live from Gulf Coast Auto Shield in Houston, we step into a shop where protection, performance, and community collide. John Gray walks us through the craft and the business: why modern paint protection film is the flagship service, how ceramic coatings and nano tint complete the package, and what it takes to keep high-dollar paint and sensors safe in a world of gravel, UV, and crowded freeways. We even go below the waterline to cover marine coatings that replace heavy-metal bottom paints with longer-lasting, cleaner tech that beats barnacles and cuts annual haul-outs.We dig into partnerships and process. A top-tier film supplier keeps new solutions flowing—from color PPF to windshield protection—while dealerships mix financing with outsourced installs for showroom-ready coverage on performance models. For buyers who want more control, going direct to specialists can save time and get better results. Education is a big part of the formula: club meetups, care clinics, and honest demos that teach safe washing, correct tools, and maintenance habits that preserve gloss and value. The shop is more than a service bay—it's a hub where owners trade tips, see rare metal up close, and learn how to protect it.Performance talk lights up the floor. We tour a GTR and Ferraris and make the case for hybrids as the new speed standard: instant torque, stunning 0–60 times, and real-world mpg that once seemed impossible. That shift changes how people think about ownership; when you plan to keep a car longer, smart protection turns from luxury to necessity. We also tackle the hidden cost center no one expects: glass. With ADAS, HUD, and specialty laminates, a modern windshield replacement can blow a budget. Clear windshield films aren't perfect yet, but they're already saving drivers from pitting and pricey recalibrations.We wrap with recalls and car news, from camera and airbag issues to the possibility of kei-sized city cars in the U.S., and a look at Lexus reviving the LFA and scaling up GR performance with serious hybrid muscle. Whether you're shielding a supercar, daily hybrid, or a boat that lives in the water, the playbook is the same: protect surfaces, prevent damage, and preserve value so every drive—or cruise—feels as good as day one.

Chrome tanks gleaming in the bed, four hydraulic pumps ready to dance, and a pearl-white El Camino built from love and discipline—Rudy joins us to share how lowrider craft, family tradition, and clean engineering come together in a car that means more than metal. He walks us through paint choices, a four-pump setup, 13-inch whitewalls, and the geometry behind extended control arms that make three-wheeling possible, plus the real-world trade-offs like accelerated tire wear and why alignment becomes a balancing act. The story moves beyond parts as Rudy traces a path from street conflict to cage fighting to calmer streets and showgrounds, paying that focus forward to his kids and a near-original '96 Impala SS.We switch lanes to explore six iconic dashboard styles that collectors love, each one a time capsule of design and technology. From the bold clarity of American muscle to the wood-and-leather elegance of European classics, the sweeping Art Deco forms of the '30s and '40s, the minimalist pragmatism of Scandinavian design, and the digital, driver-centric supercar era, we show how a dashboard can reveal a car's soul. Custom hot rods cap the tour with one-off faces that speak the owner's language in billet, color, and gauge selection.To round out the ride, we map festive road trips through San Antonio: River Walk lights cascading over the water, SeaWorld's massive displays and live shows, hot-chocolate trolley tours, Zoo Lights, skating at Hemisphere Park, and Fiesta Texas in full holiday mode. Don't miss the transformed Alamo experience, complete with Phil Collins' narration and a collection that reframes the site's true scale. Whether you're tuning hydraulics, studying dashboards, or planning a family cruise, you'll find ideas, history, and heart.Enjoyed the show?

The smell of fresh wax, the rumble of arrivals, and a table full of hot takes—our live remote at Gulf Coast Auto Shield pulls you straight into car culture. We kick off with a clear-eyed look at November's sales story: Hyundai dips, Kia climbs, inventory loosens to a 64‑day supply, and hybrids keep humming while EV demand wobbles with changing incentives. That sets the stage for what drivers actually feel on the ground: access, reliability, and the difference between spec sheets and street reality.Nothing gets more real than trying to charge an EV and finding every solution blocked. We walk through a week of charging drama—Tesla‑standard plugs, restricted dealership chargers, public stations reserved by policy or simply clogged by rental fleets—and what it reveals about infrastructure etiquette, operator rules, and the urgent need for better enforcement. Standardized connectors are a win, but adoption hinges on consistent access, uptime, and simple on‑site logic that respects drivers' time.We shift gears into community and performance. Tailpipes & Tacos returns with a toy drive, free breakfast tacos, and a kids' pedal car show, proving that local meets might be the industry's best ambassadors. The Houston Auto Show follows with a holiday BOGO ticket deal and a chance to explore new models without pressure. On the performance front, Stellantis reignites muscle with the gasoline‑powered Dodge Charger Six‑Pack, a straight‑six pumping 550 horsepower, while Cadillac's looming F1 debut adds a fresh storyline to the racing calendar. We round out with Consumer Reports' reliability rankings—Toyota retakes the crown, Subaru and Lexus close behind—and a tour through auto history from Studebaker to Corvair and Jeep's global Compass, topped with shop‑floor memories of body‑by‑Fisher craft.Join us for the mix that keeps enthusiasts hooked: market insight, hands‑on EV lessons, racing heat, reliability you can bank on, and events that welcome everyone. If you're in Houston, bring an unwrapped toy, grab a taco, and say hi. Prefer to ride along from home?

This week, we dive into the Homie Helpline to counsel a guy whose 'glow up' has him ready to trade in his loyal wife for a chance at finding an Instagram 'test drive'. Meanwhile, the crew debates whether getting a "fade" haircut makes you officially unprofessional if you’ve somehow managed to hit the big 3-0, according to one viral real estate agent.

Cars bring people together, but the best events make room for the next generation. We're rolling out a fresh twist on a beloved Houston-area cruise-in: a safe, dedicated kids' car corral as part of the Tailpipes and Tacos Christmas edition at Loopy Tortilla in Katy. From pedal cars to parent-controlled ride-ons, we outline how families can show off kid-sized builds while staying clear of traffic and pristine paint. Add goodie bags, special kids' trophies, and those famous chili pepper awards for the big rides, and you've got a holiday meet that's warm, organized, and wildly fun.We map every detail so you can plan your morning: Saturday, December 13, 8 to 11 a.m., toy donations for Toys for Tots, free breakfast tacos for participants, and adult beverages available for purchase. You'll hear why this format teaches respect for cars early, invites grandparents to share stories, and keeps car culture thriving. We also tee up a bonus: Houston Auto Show tickets to give away, making this a perfect on-ramp to a larger world of concept cars, test drives, and new tech at NRG Center.Between event planning, we hit the gas on everything enthusiasts love—racing calendar highlights as Formula One nears its finale, a quick tour through automotive history with Packard's twin-6 and the Tucker 48, and a lively Hemmings Sold Cars guessing game that puts real market numbers to dream machines. If you're searching for family-friendly car shows, Houston car meets, holiday toy drive cruise-ins, or kids' car events, this conversation delivers the where, why, and how to make your morning count.Bring a toy, grab a taco, and help a kid discover car culture.

A high school shop can change a life, and today you'll hear how three Klein Kane students turned four years of training into a first-place finish and a ticket to Texas Motor Speedway. We sit down with instructor Henry Silva and his team to unpack what it really takes to win a professional-grade student technical competition: mentorship from a master tech, interview practice with industry pros, and a three-hour, bugged-vehicle challenge that demands composure and clean diagnostics under pressure.Their roadmap goes far beyond a single trophy. From oscilloscopes and advanced scan tools to customer storytelling and repair documentation, the students show how modern automotive programs blend technology, communication, and hands-on skill. You'll hear concrete next steps: diesel careers, mechanical engineering at Purdue, dealership roles, and race-team ambitions. We also dig into how inclusivity strengthens the pipeline, with dozens of young women entering the program and several already eyeing dealership positions. Scholarships flow through these events, turning hard-won skills into funded opportunities at trade schools, two-year programs, and four-year universities.We round things out with a grounded review of the 2025 Infiniti QX60 Sport AWD. Expect a smooth ride, upscale interior, and clever headrest speakers, along with a surprising 6,000-pound tow rating. We also call out the tradeoffs: a tight third row, conservative rear styling, and moments of noticeable turbo lag paired with a 9-speed automatic. If you're cross-shopping Acura MDX, Genesis GV80, or Lincoln Aviator, you'll get clear, practical guidance on where the QX60 shines and where it trails the pack.If stories like these inspire you, follow and share the show with a friend who loves cars, students, or both.

Start with a promise and test it hard: can a premium three-row actually balance comfort, capability, and value without resorting to gimmicks? We put the 2025 Infiniti QX60 through its paces, calling out the crisp front-end design, tight third row, and the surprising 6,000-pound tow rating that turns a modest 2.0L turbo into a legit weekend hauler. We share the wins you feel every day—quiet ride, simple infotainment, smart headrest speakers—and the misses that matter, like noticeable turbo lag and a transmission that sometimes feels a step behind.From there, we pivot to ownership smarts with a sharp shortlist of cars that make DIY maintenance less painful and more affordable. If you're building confidence with a torque wrench, models like the Toyota Corolla and Camry, Kia Rio, Honda Accord, Chevrolet Silverado ('03–'07), and Mazda MX-5 Miata deliver easy access, plentiful parts, and proven reliability. We explain why access matters more than horsepower when you're replacing plugs, belts, and brakes in the driveway, and how parts ecosystems can save you time and money.We close by championing a modern minivan that earns its keep: the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica. Seven seats, Stow 'n Go flat-fold magic, rear-seat entertainment, Family Cam peace of mind, and a calm, quiet ride powered by Chrysler's stalwart 3.6L V6 with AWD. Real-world mpg, towing capability, and pricing context against Toyota Sienna, Kia Carnival, and Honda Odyssey make the choice clearer: if daily life means people and gear, a thoughtful minivan still solves problems most SUVs can't.

Big recalls, bigger questions, and a lineup of can't-miss car events—this week's show brings the garage, the newsroom, and the car meet together. We start with a clear-eyed look at current safety recalls touching seat belt integrity, instrument panel failures, fuel leaks, and high-voltage battery risks. Then we unpack a stunning manufacturing misstep that may have mixed spare and production wheels, raising the stakes on quality control and why plant processes matter to everyday drivers.From the driveway, we share a painfully relatable DIY saga: changing a “simple” headlight that required removing the bumper and grille, only to discover hybrid LED-halogen setups and per-side fuses. It's a snapshot of modern car complexity and a reminder to verify parts, wiring, and fuse maps before diving in. If you've wrestled with CAN-bus quirks, you'll feel seen.Performance fans get fresh ammo for the eternal engine debate. Dodge's Charger Scat Pack is moving to the Hurricane inline-six, promising big power, strong torque, and a case for efficiency without sacrificing thrills. We break down why the inline-six architecture is back in style, how it stacks up against Hemi expectations, and what it means for enthusiasts who want speed, smoothness, and reliability. We also check on brand trajectories: Scout Motors is marching toward pre-production with its Traveler SUV and Terra pickup, while Bollinger's legal and financial troubles underline how hard it is to build an EV company at scale.Rounding it out, we spotlight community: BOGO tickets and VIP night for the Houston auto show, Camp Jeep's perennial draw, and a slate of cruise-ins and Toys for Tots drives that make December a perfect month to get the car out, give back, and meet fellow enthusiasts. Bring a toy, bring a friend, and come say hello when we broadcast live at the Gulf Coast Auto Shield Car Social.If you enjoy honest car talk, practical advice, and the latest on recalls, new engines, and local events, follow the show, share it with a gearhead friend, and leave a quick review.

Send us a textIt was a real pleasure to sit down with the legend that is Mike Brewer at the NEC Classic Car Show. We recorded this live, in front of lots of people, so please excuse the blip in sound quality - we've done the best with what we had. Things start off with a real 'one off' hat flying out the car and back in again earliest car memory, before we hear about the custom cars his Dad built, including the Ford Pop called 'Pinball Wizard' which has been replicated a number of times in tribute. In later life Mike recounts the tale of sourcing a sensible car for his Dad to drive his Mum around in. He delivers a Ford S-Max, but his Dad isn't impressed. However, it only takes a few miles and he's smitten, a few months later he's modified it... lowered on split rim wheels, carbon bonnet and mirrors! He just can't stop it!! We hope you enjoy this episode, and please do take a moment to look up Mikes TV program Born Dealer which we reference a number of times whilst chatting.

What truly changed at Le Mans when the 2000s began—and why did teams abandon open cockpits just as speeds stayed sky high? We invited author and photographer John Brooks to walk us through the decade he chronicles in Le Mans: The Official History 2000–2009, and his trackside vantage point delivers a rare blend of technical clarity and human detail. From Audi's R8 and R10 TDI era to Peugeot's blistering 908, we explore how diesel power, aero efficiency, and rule changes made reliability the ultimate performance edge.John pulls back the curtain on the engineering trade-offs that redefined endurance racing: the gains in safety that came with closed cockpits, the pit stop calculations that win 24-hour fights, and the unsung collaboration between European operations and American squads like Champion Racing. He also shares how he inherited the official history project from the legendary Quentin Spurring, why the 2000–2009 window stands on its own, and how writing the story with his own photographs turns a coffee-table book into a time machine.We keep the wrenches turning beyond the track. Jeff breaks down the easiest cars to work on—Toyota Corolla and Camry, Kia Rio, Chevrolet Silverado, Honda Accord, and Mazda MX-5—spotlighting accessible engine bays, abundant parts, and weekend-friendly maintenance. Then we climb into the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica, a thoughtful family hauler with stow-and-go versatility, a smooth 3.6L V6, available AWD, and cabin tech that keeps everyone calm mile after mile.If you're searching for Le Mans history, Audi vs Peugeot, prototype safety, and real-world car advice in one place, you're home.

A dealership website script shouldn't be the key to your car. Yet that's exactly what one security researcher demonstrated on a DEF CON stage, turning a forgotten corner of a portal into national-level access that could unlock vehicles, view customer data, and send remote commands. We dig into what that means for drivers, dealers, and automakers now that the family SUV doubles as a rolling endpoint connected to clouds, APIs, and third-party tools.We walk through the chain of weak links—subdomains, misconfigured permissions, app integrations—and explain why dealer networks can become the soft underbelly of an automaker's security. Then we turn to the flipside of software-defined cars: when an over-the-air update breaks a feature people rely on. A new Tahoe's built-in garage door opener stopped working post-update, and the finger-pointing that followed shows how support and testing must evolve. Convenience only works when reliability does too.Safety headlines round out the reality check. From a Kia K5 fuel-system fault that can over-pressurize tanks, to airbag inflator issues and wiring harness problems affecting pickups and SUVs, we outline the most pressing recalls and what owners should do next. Along the way, we keep the enthusiast spark alive with a Sold Cars Roundup—proof you can still get into the hobby with a '73 Charger under twenty grand or a clean Barracuda around thirty—plus highlights from a standout student technician competition that signals where the industry is headed.If you care about connected cars, cybersecurity, recalls, and the classic market, this conversation maps the risks and the opportunities with clear takeaways you can act on today.

What happens when a family heirloom gets a NASCAR heart and a date with a mountain? We brought Richard Tomlin of Apex Auto Works on to share the full story of transforming a 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner into a Pike's Peak contender by setting the classic body over a stretched NASCAR truck chassis and dropping in a Mopar R5 P7 that sings to 9,500 RPM. The road to SEMA almost ended on the shoulder after a tow rig failure, but with help from racers and friends the car made a prime debut and drew a crowd that wanted every detail—how it was built, why it matters, and where it's headed next.We dig into the engineering: cutting and adding four inches to match the B-body wheelbase, aligning the shell, using NASCAR-style ride height adjusters, and balancing street presence with a proper cage, race seats, and belts. Then we climb into the thin-air problem. Pike's Peak starts near 8,000 feet and finishes above 14,000, so we talk mid-altitude tuning targets, power loss on NA engines, and a throwback solution—variable jetting on a carb, with insight from Brad Pink, son of legendary engine builder Ed Pink. The motor has already proved itself on the mountain in a C10, and we break down the expectations for power at altitude versus near sea level.Richard also opens the shop doors: a turbo LS7 Volvo, a refreshed '69 Roadrunner, a twin-turbo LS G-body in paint, and a batch of Miatas, including a Lemons car that a 17-year-old is repairing while learning to wrench. We talk craft, patience, and why “toys” deserve thoughtful timelines. Along the way, we swap stories about Charlotte's NASCAR spectacle—how great facilities make new fans—and preview a spring motorsports festival in Victoria's Riverside Park: a tight, time-attack course through the trees designed for stunning visuals and driver challenge.If you love bold builds, real-world engineering, and the culture that keeps car life vibrant, this one's for you. Subscribe, share it with a friend who loves hill climbs or sleepers, and leave a review to tell us what you'd climb the mountain with.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.

Some faces you can't forget. We kick off with a sharp, entertaining tour of automotive front ends that sparked love, hate, and head-scratching in equal measure—from the Jeep Cherokee KL's split lighting and the Lincoln MKT's controversial split wing to the Dodge Nitro's gym-bro stance and the Chevy SSR's retro grin. The thread through all of them is clear: when the nose leads the story, it can amplify a car's character or drown out everything it does well.Then we pivot to a grounded, detail-rich review of the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer in its two-row electric 4xe configuration. We break down the sleek seven-slot grill, the long-wheelbase proportions, and a cabin that feels more expensive than the price tag suggests. Think full-length dash, integrated displays, ambient lighting, and upscale seating that deliver daily comfort without forcing a third row. On the road, direct-drive electric power brings up to 600 horsepower potential, stout torque, and an up-to-300-mile range target, with the quiet, planted ride you'd expect from a 5,600-plus-pound SUV. Towing up to 3,500 pounds adds weekend flexibility, and for gas loyalists, the Hurricane inline-six in the L variant keeps the door open.We compare pricing and positioning against the Cadillac Lyriq, Lexus RZ 450e, and Genesis GV70 Electric, and we talk honestly about the complexity of trims and badges across Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. The takeaway: design should match purpose, and the Wagoneer's balance of refined styling, practical space, and real-world range makes a strong case in a crowded field.If you're into car design hot takes and want straight talk on whether the new Wagoneer belongs in your driveway, you'll feel right at home here. Enjoy the ride, and if this sparks a memory of your favorite ugly grill or seals your next test-drive plan, share it with a friend.

Missed calls, rotary phones, and a trooper who can't quite get a signal set the tone for a lively ride through today's car world. We open with a burst of nostalgia—remember the “finger stop” on a dial phone?—then shift gears into the realities drivers face right now: inspection changes, mid-year law updates, and why some rules never match the rhythm of real life. From there, we pull back the curtain on dealership dynamics in smaller markets and the incentives that shape where families plant their flags and expand their rooftops.The big industry turn lands with Amazon Autos: Ford dealers can now sell certified pre-owned vehicles on Amazon, complete with financing, warranties, and return windows. It's a customer journey built for 2025—transparent pricing, nearby inventory, and a checkout that feels as familiar as buying a blender. We also get candid about DIY repair in the age of sealed modules. One headlight swap becomes a full bumper removal and a surprise hybrid of halogen and LED, exposing the gap between what manuals say and what cars actually do.Our featured review zeroes in on the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer in EV spec—a two-row SUV with elegant lines, a properly luxurious cabin, and a calm, capable drive. With up to about 300 miles of range, full-time AWD, and roughly 3,500 pounds of towing, it squares up against Cadillac Lyriq and Genesis GV70 Electric while carving its own lane with smart packaging and serious cargo space. We break down trims, pricing, and the confusing Wagoneer versus Grand Wagoneer mix, then compare the EV with Jeep's Hurricane six in the L variant for drivers who still want cylinders. Along the way, we unpack holiday car marketing that actually resonates: experiences, community, and the magic of a well-placed bow that makes a driveway feel like a movie scene.Come for the laughs, stay for the insights, and leave with a sharper sense of how car culture, online retail, and electric SUVs are converging.

What happens when a championship chase runs straight into a mechanical gut punch—and the family still finds a way to win big? We sit down with Jerry Emmons to unpack a season that had everything: a Division IV Stock Eliminator title, finals against his own nephews, and a Sunday triumph in Dallas that marked his 20th national event win. The story isn't just about trophies; it's about how a lost-boost hauler turned a cross-country push into a hard reset, and how a family team absorbs both the thrill of the stripe and the sting of a photo finish.Then we flip the visor down on the used-car market and call it like we see it. Jerry breaks down a rough first half—parts shortages, lost vendor discounts, slower recon, rate pressure—and why the fourth quarter tells a different story. If you're buying or selling, this is the cheat sheet: sub-$25k inventory moves fastest, $15k–$18k is lightning, and well-specced Broncos are nipping at Wrangler's heels. Trucks still print demand in Texas regardless of trim, because capability and towing never go out of style. We talk margins, sourcing, reconditioning timelines, and how steady rates could reset volume next year.To round things out, we road-test the 2026 Chevy Tahoe Premier 4WD. With the 6.2L V8 and Magnetic Ride Control, it tows with confidence and rides quieter than its size suggests. The wide-format infotainment makes sense at a glance, the cabin feels airy with generous glass, and while the rear media screens look tacked on, families will appreciate the function. Cross-shopping Expedition, Armada, Sequoia, or Yukon? We lay out how the Tahoe balances power, comfort, and real-world utility without the fluff.If you love racing heritage, straight-talk market insight, and honest reviews that focus on how vehicles actually live day to day, you're in the right place. Hit follow, share this with a friend who's car-curious, and leave a review telling us whether you're Team Wrangler or Team Bronco.

“Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to win a million-dollar home with just a $10 raffle ticket—or what you'd do if you actually won?” That's the question that kicks off this lively episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where JB and Sandy dive into the wild world of house raffles, personal luck, and the quirky traditions that make the holidays unforgettable. This episode unpacks the buzz around a brand-new, fully furnished home in East Austin's coveted Holly District, up for grabs through a unique charity raffle. With the Austin real estate market in flux, the hosts break down how this creative approach is shaking things up—and why 10% of every ticket supports the Central Texas Food Bank. The conversation gets personal as Sandy and JB swap stories about their own raffle wins, from belt buckles at dirt tracks to classic cars and heartfelt charity donations. The show's energy shifts as the hosts and their guest, Tricia, share the movies they revisit every Thanksgiving. From the dark depths of “Apocalypse Now” to the holiday cheer of “Elf” and the hilarity of “Step Brothers,” listeners are treated to a blend of nostalgia, laughter, and candid confessions—including Tricia's emotional connection to holiday films and JB's “wheeler dealer” adventures with cars.Notable moments include:The legal twists behind house raffles and the charity loophole that makes them possible.JB's memorable quote: “It just seemed like the right thing to do,” reflecting on giving away his beloved truck for a good cause.Sandy's Amazon rant and the surprising state of Whole Foods' flagship bathroom—because no episode is complete without a little real-life humor.Whether you're a Longhorn fan gearing up for the big game, a holiday movie buff, or just curious about the odds of winning big, this episode delivers laughs, insights, and a dash of holiday spirit. Don't miss out—subscribe to The JB and Sandy Show, leave a review, and share this episode with friends who love a good story and a chance at something extraordinary!
What does it take to turn a local bracket meet into a 140-car institution that tracks want to host and racers plan their year around? We sit down with Scott Stregel to unpack the Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge, from how the series shares revenue with drag strips to the schedule and class design that keep cars in the lanes and teams coming back.Scott explains why a fourteen-date calendar beats endless makeup races, and how shifting out-of-town events to Saturday afternoons through midnight helps racers dodge brutal Monday commutes after long tows. We break down the club divisions—5A for large rosters, 4A for mid-size, 3A for smaller teams—why everyone still races everyone in brackets, and how the points chase remains fair across club sizes. You'll also hear why most race cars run eighth mile in this region, when quarter mile makes sense for street-tire classes, and how that balance keeps competition safe and close.Beyond the staging lanes, we get into the media engine behind the growth: consistent social content, cross-promotion with host tracks, and the push to document more live racing with photos and video. That spotlight doesn't just hype results; it builds a community identity that travels from Ferris to Houston and beyond. Scott previews the targeted mid-March season start, the spring and fall segments, and the venues on the wish list, plus the addition of a TV vehicle class aimed at new participants. For details on rules, brackets, and contacts, he points listeners to the central hub at tmcc.org.If you care about grassroots racing that's organized, sustainable, and genuinely fun, this is the blueprint.

A flat tire, a British accent, and a time machine into racing's most underrated proving ground—this one starts with a grin and lands with substance. We sit down with journalist and author James Newbold to unpack Formula 3000, the 1985–2004 series that quietly shaped today's open-wheel landscape. From its wild early years with multiple chassis and engines to the spec-era shift that prioritized driver skill and team preparation, F3000 became the launchpad for names you know and stories you probably don't.James shares why he wrote Formula 3000: Where Legends Earn Their Stripes and how he unearthed 350 rarely seen photos from archives now stewarded by Getty. We connect the dots from F3000 to GP2 to modern Formula Two, demystify how the ladder works, and spotlight alumni who made waves across motorsport—F1 contenders, IndyCar champions, and team leaders who still shape race weekends. Expect clear explanations, race-weekend context, and a few surprising career pivots along the way.Then we shift gears to car culture at street level: the origins of car clubs, the rough edges of early turf wars, and the transformation into today's community-focused cruise-ins and charity events. It's a reminder that craft, identity, and belonging drive this hobby as much as horsepower. We close with a grounded review of the 2025 Subaru Ascent, a three-row SUV with a conservative design, strong safety chops, a torquey 2.4L turbo flat-four, and real-world comfort for road trips—plus a quick look at pricing and segment rivals.If you love the hidden history behind big-league racing, appreciate the heartbeat of local car scenes, or just want a smart take on a family hauler, this episode delivers. Hit play, subscribe for more honest car talk, and leave a review to tell us which F3000 alum you think had the most underrated career.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.
