General Motors introduced the Chevy Camaro in 1966 to compete with the likes of the Ford Mustang. The origin of the name is nebulous. It may have simply been another C-word in a line of them (Corvette, Corvair, Chevelle) but one GM executive defined it as "a small, vicious animal that eats mustangs." The name wasn't the only unusual aspect of the car's marketing. General Motors produced a musical called Camaro performed by four troupes in 25 cities. It starred two Camaros, a coupe and a convertible, along with a chorus, dancers and an orchestra. Cold Spring resident Phil D'Amato has a thing for Camaros. His first car was a 1967 hardtop that he bought in Chicago in 1974 and later sold. "I loved that coupe, but I had always wanted a convertible," he said. He bought his 1967 convertible in 1978 for $1,425 (about $7,000 today). He also owns a 1968 convertible and bought and sold a 1969 coupe. The '67 Camaro was available with engine sizes from a 230-cubic-inch six cylinder to a 396-cubic-inch V8. D'Amato's 327-cubic-inch V8 was a $93 option when the car was built. D'Amato likes the car's size and that it gets 20 miles to the gallon. The odometer reads around 130,000 miles, which he believes is accurate. "It's a real cruiser," he said. "As old as it is, it keeps up with everybody on the highway," although he hasn't taken it over 80 mph. He loves driving with the top down but admits that isn't ideal when temperatures soar into the 90s; the car has no air conditioning. The Specs Model: Rally Sport Assembly: Norwood, Ohio; Van Nuys, California Class: Pony, muscle car Body: 2-door, convertible or hardtop Total production: 220,906 V8 convertible: 19,856 Engine: 327 cubic-inch V8 (plus seven others) Horsepower: 210 Transmission: 2-speed, power glide automatic; 3-speed automatic; 3- and 4-speed manual Fuel economy: 20 mpg highway Price: $3,100 ($29,218 today) What it does have is distinctive hideaway headlights and a deluxe interior with molded door panels and swivel vent windows not available in '68 models. Camaros typically had a console shifter, not a two-speed automatic on the column. Three and four-speed manual transmissions were available, as well as a three-speed automatic. The interior includes bucket seats, lap belts, crank windows, a cigarette lighter and a reproduction AM-FM radio. D'Amato added an electric ignition and, in the late 1990s, replaced the floorboards. He had the car repainted in the original Granada Gold, one of 15 colors Camaro offered in 1966, embellished with a black bumblebee stripe and pinstripes. His convertible features rally wheels, rally caps and reproduction Coker redline tires. He has not taken the Camaro to car shows. "That's not something I'm interested in," he said. "What I enjoyed when my kids were growing up was putting them in the back seat with a blanket and going for ice cream!"

Durante unas décadas la disposición con el motor atrás era considerada la mejor para aprovechar el espacio y rebajar el coste de fabricación de un coche… hubo muchos y muy conocidos coches “todo atrás” … y también muchos poco o nada conocidos. Hoy toca hablar de los desconocidos. ¿Qué ventajas tiene el motor posterior? Voy a enumerar las más importantes: - Aprovechamiento del espacio. No hay árbol de transmisión por en medio. - Más barato, pues es más sencillo y con menos piezas que fabricar. - Aerodinámica, puedes hacer el morro muy bajo, porque ahí no hay “nada”. ¿Y el inconveniente? Pues no es lo ideal para la estabilidad, como te contamos en un video que hicimos titulado “Coche “todo atrás”, ¿Por qué son un peligro?”. En ese video aparece alguno de los coches que vamos a citar hoy. Vamos ya con la lista…. ¡a ver cuántos conoces! 1. Mercedes-Benz 130 (1934). Si miras este coche te puedes creer que estás ante un precursor del VW Escarabajo… pues no, es todo un Mercedes, pero con motor posterior. Tuvo diversos sucesores, los 150 y 170H. Las malas lenguas dicen que este modelo se inspiró en el Tatra T77 que apareció poco después y que era muy parecido… 2. Tatra 77a (1935). Tatra es una desaparecida marca checa por la que tengo gran aprecio. Hemos hablado de ella en muchas ocasiones, porque es injustamente olvidada. Prácticamente siempre apostó por grandes motores colocados atrás y por modelos con refinada aerodinámica. Uno de los primeros de esta saga es el 77a que he elegido para esta lista… ¡no me digáis que no es precioso! 3. SMZ (1954). ¡Una verdadera rareza! Es un coche ruso destinado a personas discapacitadas… En las desaparecidas URSS se le conocía como “la silla de ruedas con motor” y contaba con una mecánica de dos tiempos, 350 cm3 y 10 CV en la versión A. 4. Subaru 360 (1958). Os traigo al primer Subaru. Hay muchos modelos japoneses con motor trasero, muy desconocidos por estos lares, por eso he querido traer por lo menos uno y os traído este, del que se fabricaron casi 400.000 unidades y que permitió a Subaru afianzarse como marca. 5. Hino Contessa (1961). Hino es una empresa japonesa ahora propiedad de Toyota y que fabrica camiones. En 1953 fabricó en Japón y bajo licencia el Renault 4 CV, conocido como 4/4 en España. Hay varios modelos de Hino Contessa, de diseño Michelotti, inspiración americana, en el Corvair, un coche fracasado pero muy inspirador, y basado en la tecnología francesa… una verdadera rareza. 6. NSU Prinz 4 (1961). Me gusta especialmente la generación 4 inspirada en el Chevrolet Corvair americano… de hecho parece un encogido. Contaba con motor posterior de 535 cm3, de 2 cilindros y 4 tiempos que desarrollaba 35 CV… que no estaba nada mal. De hecho, es un coche que tuvo cierto éxito en competición para coches de menos de 750 cm3. 7. Hillman Imp (1963). Como se cuele decir, en este caso “el niño nació muerto”. ¿Por qué digo esto? Porque cuando se lanzó este modelo en 1963 el Mini llevaba muchos años en el mercado. Por calidad de realización, acabados y fiabilidad, el Imp era mejor. Pero por comportamiento estaba a otro nivel. Luego, además, por temas políticos, se trasladó su producción a Escocia y dejaron de ser tan buenos y fiables. 8. Renault 10 (1965). No he podido resistirme a incluir al olvidado R10, una versión alargada y más lujosa del R8. Renault quería competir en coches de la categoría superior al R8 y se le ocurrió alargar el citado R8 ¡Ojo!, los voladizos, porque la distancia entre ejes era la misma, pero se alargaba nada menos que 10 cm delante y 8 cm detrás. Pasaban varias cosas. En primer lugar, era más de lo mismo. En segundo, la habitabilidad era idéntica, aunque el maletero fuese algo mayor. Y tercero, curiosamente, al alargar el coche y con el capó plano, parecía más estrecho, Nunca fue percibido como un coche netamente superior al R8 y se puede decir que fue un fracaso. 9. Škoda Rapid (1980). Škoda tiene mucha tradición en coches con motor posterior. Este Rapid de 1980 fue de los últimos, pero un coche que yo probé y me sorprendió su calidad. Sabía que los checos eran buenos haciendo coches, aunque su tecnología estuviese, en esos años, algo anticuada. Era un coche con encanto, bien hecho, diferente… de los que Škoda ya no hace. Los hace mejores, pero no tan especiales. 10. Tata Nano (2008). El más moderno de la lista, que se fabricó hasta hace solo 6 años. Era un coche muy especial, un coche mínimo que debía ser muy práctico y muy, pero que muy barato. Y lo fue. Cuando se puso a la venta en la India, el precio de este coche era de alrededor de 1.500 €. Si lo hacemos en “euros constantes” teniendo en cuanto la inflación, estaríamos hablando de unos 3.000 €. O sea, muy barato. Tenía motor posterior de dos cilindros, 624 cm3 y 33 CV con un consumo homologado de alrededor de 4 litros a los 100 km. Conclusión. Me he dejado varios en la recámara, pero alguno de ellos saldrá en el video que desde ya estoy preparando de coches carismáticos con motor trasero, y os adelanto que alguno de esto también os va a sorprender. Coche del día. Como coche del día os traído un clásico del canal, un coche que me entusiasma porque no puede ser más raro, el Dymaxion. Es el único coche que conozco con motor posterior y tracción delantera y, además, dirección a la única rueda situada en el eje trasero… ¡este hecho al revés! Pero estará conmigo en que no puede ser más raro, más curioso y más atractivo.

Does anyone remember what radio is? This will refresh your memory... turn back to 1960

Cuando de una persona se dice que tiene “mucho carácter” en realidad lo que se quiere decir es que tiene “mal carácter” … hablando entre amigos… “mala leche”. He seleccionado los primeros coches con motor turbo y os puedo decir que todos, absolutamente todos, tienen “mucho carácter”… Ahora que parece que falta ideas y agallas es bueno recordar coches así… ¡Tenía ganas de hacer este vídeo! Os voy a contar muchas cosas que creo que no sabéis. La llegada masiva de la electrónica más diversos sistemas como los turbo de geometría variable, turbos más pequeños, poner más de uno “en cadena” o arrastrados por motores eléctricos par que no pierdan vueltas… mil y una ideas para conseguir que el turbo ni se note. Eso es ahora… pero antes no era así. He elegido 5 de los primeros coches con turbo y un bonus track. No he querido ir más lejos porque quiero tener tiempo de contar cosas de cada uno y porque no he querido rebasar la frontera de 1980. Porque, no sé si lo sabias, los primeros coches con motor turbo son de 1962… hace ya más de 60 años. Una técnica en pañales, unos bastidores no muy sofisticados, unos neumáticos muy lejos del nivel actual y la practica ausencia de ayudas electrónicas tanto para la gestión del motor como para ayudar al conductor consiguieron la tormenta perfecta. Y la aureola de que los “turbo” eran coches muy prestacionales, pero… “con mucho carácter”. No voy a hablaros de cómo funciona un turbo, porque ya hicimos un video así titulado al poco de comenzar el canal y que ya supera el millón de visitas en el que, entre otras cosas, comentamos como nació esta técnica en la aviación para suplir la falta de presión atmosférica a medida que los aviones ascendían. Si te interesa el tema hemos hecho muchos videos sobre la técnica del turbo, busca. Pero este va más de cómo eran y de cómo se conducían estos primeros turbo. Y vamos ya con esta relación… Chevrolet Corvair Monza Spyder Turbo (1962). Un nombre largo para un coche que lo tenía todo… para fracasar. Motor posterior refrigerado por aire, unas suspensiones no muy bien resueltas y un comportamiento difícil para cualquiera… y peligroso para los norteamericanos que será pioneros en el mundo del motor, pero no muy buenos conductores. ¿Podía ser peor? Si al Corvair, el modelo inspirador del libro del polémico Ralph Nader le añadimos un turbo… pues sí, podía ser peor. Es más: Mucho peor. Esos caballos de más en un coche considerado peligroso ya con la mitad de potencia… no fueron muy bienvenidos. Y, además, la fiabilidad no era su punto fuerte. Oldsmobile Turbo Rocket (1962). Ya sabéis mi debilidad por esta marca pionera en muchos sentidos… y uno de ellos en la utilización del turbo apenas unas pocas semanas después que Chevrolet, ambas marcas de GM. Pero esta vez, con menos éxito. Bueno, dejémonos de eufemismos: Este coche denominado cohete, acabó explotando y fue un fracaso. Hasta tal punto que muchos usuarios desmotaban el turbo y hacían al coche atmosférico, asumiendo la perdida de potencia. BMW 2002 Turbo (1973). El primer coche europeo con motor turbo… y el primero con verdadera “mala leche” … El BMW 2002 Tii con inyección mecánica, como el que yo tuve, era un cuatro cilindros de dos litros que ofrecía una buena potencia, 120 CV. Con el turbo la potencia aumentaba a 170 CV… ¡un 42 por ciento más! Porsche 911 Turbo (1975). Ya el 911 de 1975 era un coche endiabladamente difícil de conducir. Con menos de 1.200 kg declarados, un reparto de pesos catastrófico, unas suspensiones con barra de torsión que no eran ni mucho menos ejemplares y una distancia entre ejes corta de solo 2,27 metros, ¡menor que el primer Ford Fiesta! era solo aptos para expertos, verdaderos expertos. Y en Porsche pensaron, “¿Cómo hacemos para que este coche sea aún más difícil de conducir? ¿Y si le ponemos un turbo?” Dicho y hecho. El coche, en su tiempo, con 250 CV, era una bestia que aceleraba de 0 a 100 km/h en 5,2 segundos y superaba los 250 km/h. Saab 99 Turbo (1977). Siendo mucho menos conocido, este Saab hizo por la generalización del turbo más que los 4 anteriores coches juntos. Y es que este coche, como todos los Saab, por cierto, estaba muy bien hecho y muy bien parido. Y es que los “chicos” de Saab querían potenciar su coche para aspirar a categorías superiores, pero un V6 no les cabía y además era caro de diseñar. Y pensaron, “¿y si ponemos un turbo?”. Coche del día. Hablando de la tecnología turo y de pioneros, no puede faltar en este vídeo el Renault RS01, primer F1 con motor turbo. Si el Saab puede considerarse de alguna manera precursor del turbo en coches de calle digamos que “normales”, este Renault es el precursor del uso del turbo en competición en general y en la F1 en particular.

Jason recently drove the Lucid Air Sapphire and proclaimed it the best-handling car ever.* *With the possible exception of the Rimac Nevera, which he hasn't slid around. What makes the Lucid different? Is it merely grip? Or composure? Or does the 3-motor torque-vectoring, combined with in-house 1000-Hz stability control and perfect software and hardware tuning simply follow its driver's wishes flawlessly? How does this EV compare to cars from the traditionals — like the VW id.4 or the Mercedes EQS, or even the Vinfast?

Corvair - Right Hook from the 2023 self-released album Bound to Be. Portland duo Corvair describe themselves as “Scorpio weirdo power duo serving up lush guitar pop w/ sharp incisors,” which this fellow Scorpio can certainly appreciate. Made up of Brian Naubert (Ruston Mire, Tube Top, Pop Sickle, The Service Providers) and Heather Larimer (Eux Autres), the romantic, as well as musical, duo are veterans of the Portland music scene. They released their debut self-titled album in 2021 and are following it up with their sophomore full-length Bound to Be on June 23rd. The lead single off the record is “Right Hook,” explores a dark night in a relationship where the protagonist is ready to fight. “On this record, I pushed myself to be more exposed and unfiltered,” explains Larimer of the song. “I can unfortunately be an ugly fighter and I wondered what would happen lyrically if I just owned up to it. The things I do that I am ashamed of and the toll it takes on everyone involved.” “The musical spine of this song was me thinking about Tears for Fears meets King Crimson,” Nuebert says of the instrumentation. “But then Heather wrapped that art rock foundation in a Blondie-meets-Shirelles pop energy. It's a strange combination that fits the story–out of control emotions that end in shame and regret.” Watch the video for "Right Hook" and read the full post at KEXP.org.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 20 The Zodiac Killer Part 1On December 20, 1968, just after 11pm, 2 teenagers David Faraday and Betty Lou Jensen were parked on sleepy and dark Lake Herman Rd on the outskirts of Vallejo, CA. The spot where they parked was one often chosen by young people to due it's privacy. On this night, they weren't alone. A killer pulled up beside their car. What happened next is not known, but what is known is that minutes later, a woman driving by the scene found both of them shot lying near David's car. She raced off to get help and brought police back to the scene. Responding officers found David barely clinging to life. He had been shot once behind the ear at close range. 28 feet away, Betty Lou lay dead, the victim of multiple shots to her back. The randomness of the double murder and clear lack of a motive cast a dark cloud over the coming Christmas holiday. As the holidays passed, the murders faded from memory.Seven months later, on the night of July 4, 1969, just a few miles away from where David and Betty Lou had been killed, Darlene Ferrin and Mike Mageau sat talking on a different Lover's lane area in Vallejo; Blue Rock Springs park. Their peaceful night was interrupted around Midnight when a car pulled in behind them. It's driver exited the vehicle and carrying a flashlight, walked up to the passenger side of Darlene's Corvair. WIthout warning, the man shined the flashlight into the car and opened fire shooting Darlene and Mike multiple times. He walked back to his car not realizing that his victims were still alive. When Mike cried out in pain, the shooter came back to the car and shot both Mike and Darlene additional times. He then walked back to his car and drove off leaving Darlene in Mike badly injured. First responders rushed Mike and Darlene from the scene. Darlene would not survive her injuries. While Mike was badly injured, he would recover and provide police with a few details. While police were processing the scene 40 minutes after the shooting, a caller using a phonebooth in Vallejo called the operator and reported the attack. But he wasn't a witness, he was the shooter, and he provided details of his crime. He also took credit for the 1968 Lake Herman Rd murders. But the killer was far from done, and from that moment on, using the moniker 'The Zodiac', he would terrorize the SF Bay area for the nect 5 years.This is part 1 of a multi-episode deep dive into one of America's greatest unsolved mysteries; the Zodiac MurdersTo find out how to join us live as we record each new episode of Citizen Detective, follow us on Social Media.Twitter- https://twitter.com/CitizenDPodFacebook Home Page- https://www.facebook.com/CitizenDetectivePodcastFacebook Discussion group- https://www.facebook.com/groups/233261280919915Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/citizendpod/?hl=enYoutube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSgvqIuf4-sEF2aDdNGip2wVisit our homepage: Citizendetectivepodcast.comTo support this podcast on Patreon and gain access to ad-free episodes, bonus content, and our after-show 'The Scrum' visit Patreon.com/CitizenDetective Continue the conversation about this case with fellow Citizen Detectives over at Websleuths: https://www.websleuths.com/forums/forums/citizen-detective-true-crime-podcast.719/The Citizen Detective team includes:Co-Hosts- Mike Morford, Alex Ralph, and Dr. Lee MellorWriting and Research- Alex RalphTechnical Producer- Andrew GrayProduction Assistant- Ashley MonroeSuzanna Ryan- DNA ExpertCloyd Steiger- Retired Seattle PD Homicide Detective

Metal thieves discover copper EV charging cables will bring $ while ruining plans for travelers. Do road trips in EVs always involve conflict? Are OEMs misunderstanding the Tesla appeal (much like the Corvair attempt to battle VW in 1960?). Ford CEO Jim Farley boldly reports the losses in their EV division that the ICE division is having to subsidize. Why are many EV advocates opposed to alternatives that still can cut fuel use +90%?

This week, the team sits down with Dr. Charles McGowen to discuss the new film Jesus Revolution and what it was like to live through the Jesus Movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Does the film accurately reflect the experiences of Dr. McGowen and the members of our panel who were actually there? How can people looking for Jesus today find Him in the same way folks did back then? We're talking about revival in barns, buses, and even an old blue Corvair - right here on The Public Square®.

Today I am talking with Gregory from Wrenchology. Gregory and his wife Stormy started Wrenchology in 2022 in southern California. Their focus has been primarily in the EV space but have a large background in automotive technology.

The 1965 book by Ralph Nader kicked off a public debate about auto safety that still continues to this day. Much of the controversy surrounded the Chevrolet Corvair, an unusual car with tricky handling. We also discuss similar European cars made by Tatra and Volkswagen. But first: project car updates, including a small fire.

Os hemos preparado una selección de coches con mala fama. Unos, porque eran verdaderamente un peligro. Otros tenían una fiabilidad muy deficiente… y soy bueno. Algunos no llegaron en el momento oportuno. Y los hay feos con ganas…o poco atractivos. Por una u otra causa estos 10 coches tienen muy mala fama… pero, ¿es merecida? En el mundo del automóvil la fama, la notoriedad que se dice ahora es muy importante. Muy importante si es buena, pero aún más importante si es mala. Porque te lo digo desde ya: Si un coche consigue tener muy mala fama, sus posibilidades de triunfar disminuyen considerablemente… hasta llegar a cero. 1. Ford Edsel (1958): Digno de estudio. Este caso se estudia en las escuelas de negocios, sencillamente, porque hacerlo tan mal no es fácil. Y es que se hizo todo mal. 2. Chevrolet Corvair (1959): Buena idea, mal hecha. La idea era buena, el coche no era feo, al contrario, a mí me parece muy bonito y desde luego era distinto. Pero para un conductor medio americano, el Corvair con su pesado motor colocado detrás no era un coche difícil de conducir sino un coche decididamente peligroso. 3. Citroën SM (1970): ¿Merece estar aquí? Me ha dolido meter al SM en esta lista. La clave es esta, ¿merece un icono de este calibre estar en esta lista? 4. Morris Marina (1973): Tecnología de 1948. Lo curioso es que, a pesar de su estética y de la cantidad de problemas que daba, tuvo cierto éxito. Un detalle: Montaba la mecánica del Minor de 1948, tecnología a la última. 5. AMC Pacer (1975): Demasiado avanzado. Ya os lo adelanto: Tengo intención de dedicar un monográfico de coches incomprendidos a este Pacer que, ¡ya sé lo que me vais a decir muchos! A mí me encanta y me parece precioso… 6. Aston Martin Lagonda (1976): ¿Fiabilidad? ¿Qué es eso? Hay coches que dan problemas y hay coches que son una pesadilla para sus propietarios… este Lagonda es el líder de este segundo grupo. ¿Merece estar en esta lista de coches con mala fama? ¡¡¡Siiiiii!!! 7. Yugo GV (1980): Pedir peras al olmo. Aparte de algunos motores que explotaron, de sus cortocircuitos y de cosas que se le caían… el coche era de lo mejorcito que se fabricaba en el Este de Europa y se vendía en los EE.UU. de Norteamérica a precio de risa. 8. Maserati Biturbo (1981): En carnes propias. ¡Como un coche con tanto encanto podía ser tan malo! La verdad es que cuando el coche iba bien, que era casi nunca, pues tenía su encanto. 9. Alfa Romeo Arna (1984): La idea era buena. Pero solo la idea. Alfa Romeo y Nissan se asociaron para hacer un coche con el encanto y la capacidad de seducción de un Alfa y la fiabilidad y la calidad de un Nissan. Pero algo salió mal y fue al revés. 10. Chrysler TC by Maserati (1988): ¡No te compliques! Os voy a leer la opinión de una revista del motor norteamericana líder en su momento que decía, lo leo: “El TC de Chrysler y Maserati es poco más que un Chrysler fabricado en Milán con algunos componentes caros y algo de cosmética, algo así como una abuela arrugada vestida con zapatillas de deporte y pantalones cortos ajustados”. Conclusión. Como veis no todos, pero sí la mayoría se merecen esa mala fama… y hay más que la merecen…

Este es un podcast muy completo, técnico, de conducción y de historia. Y os traigo una colección de coches que os va a encantar, todos con dos rasgos en común: Tienen el motor por detrás del eje trasero y son difíciles, algunos muy difíciles de conducir… yo diría que peligrosos, ¿por qué? Es lo que os voy a contar… Y es que… ¡vaya colección! Incluso hay un Mercedes… ¿Un Mercedes con motor trasero? Pues sí y muy antiguo… No os voy a decir de momento los coches de los que voy a hacer referencia o directamente a hablar de ellos, pero para daros una pista os voy a dar el nombre o alguna frase que hace referencia a algunos de ellos: Mata Nazis, el coche de las viudas, inseguro a cualquier velocidad, oca de hojalata, pelotilla, filete… Con estos motes muchos sabréis a que coches me refiero, por si acaso os doy la lista seria y completa: os voy a hablar del Alpine A110 (1961), del Chevrolet Corvair (1959), del DeLorean (1981), del Hino Contessa (1961), del Mercedes 130 Heckmotor (1934), del Renault Dauphine conocido en España como Gordini (1956), del Seat 600 (1957), del Simca 1000 (1961), de algunos Skoda como el Rapid de 1981, de los Tatra sobre todo del T87 (1936), del Tucker torpedo (1948) y, por supuesto, de su “egregia majestad” el Porsche 911 que nació en 1964 y es el único que sigue vivo y fiel al concepto todo atrás… Todos estos coches llevaban el motor detrás, pero ¿cuál era el motivo? ¿Por qué motor trasero? Hay varios motivos técnicos, de marketing ya hablaremos, por los cuales se ha usado esta configuración. Y ¡ojo! no son excluyentes unos de otros -Aprovechamiento del espacio. -Motricidad. -Sencillez -Herencia -Aerodinámica. -Exclusividad. ¿Qué camino tomar? Como os digo, estas cuatro ventajas no son excluyentes. Por ejemplo, aprovechar el espacio es algo que se busca en coches utilitarios, donde también el precio y la sencillez importan. Estos motivos son lo que primaron en coches como el Hino Contessa, un Renault 4/4 fabricado en Japón por Hino, el Renault Dauphine, el Seat 600, el Simca 1000 por citar solo unos pocos. Bueno, y el caso del poco conocido Mercedes Heckmotor de 1934, un muy poco conocido coche de Mercedes que llevaba el motor trasero en la búsqueda del espacio, de la sencillez y de la aerodinámica. Pero el coche era muy inestable comparado con los coches tradicionales de la marca y las ventas muy escasas, así que aquí acabó la relación de Mercedes con el motor trasero… Hasta la llegada del Smart. Alpine como Porsche llegó al motor posterior porque era una herencia, directa en el caso del Alpine, y para mejorar la capacidad de transmitir potencia al suelo, algo especialmente importante en deportivos, más potentes que otros coches, y en coches de rallyes, que participan en pruebas de asfalto, pero también del tierra y hielo. El 356 era heredero directo del Escarabajo y el 911 una inspiración directa en el 356. Os invito a ver el vídeo que hicimos de historia ficción sobre el 911 con motor delantero. Si hablamos de aerodinámica, hay que hablar de Tatra, una marca que me encanta. Pero el T87, precioso, sofisticado, aerodinámico… era complicadísimo de llevar y de ahí el apodo de “Mata Nazis”, porque el coche les gustaba a los oficiales nazis, pero luego pasaba lo que pasaba. Para ciertas marcas ser diferente era muy importante, sobre todo en los EE.UU. de Norteamérica donde prácticamente la totalidad de los coches llevaban motor delantero y propulsión posterior. Esa diferenciación era la que buscaba tanto Tucker como Chevrolet y DeLorean aunque no fuese americano. La marca DeLorean, sino fuese por la película, hubiese pasado desapercibida. Sobre todo cuando Marty McFly le dice al Doctor Emmett, o sea, a Doc: “¿Has hecho una máquina del tiempo con un DeLorean?” y Doc le contesta: “Si vas a hacer una máquina del tiempo con un coche, ¿por qué no hacerlo con un poco de estilo?”. Eso, un poco… ¡si llegan a usar un Miura me corto las venas”. El Tucker 48, tras fabricarse solo 51 unidades se cerró la fábrica con acusaciones de fraude… pero fue los del Corvair, que era un coche bonito, pero extremadamente peligroso… y para ver porque este coches era tan peligrosos vamos a recurrir a nuestra pizarra hermética. Os decía al comenzar, cuando hablaba de las ventajas del motor trasero con propulsión trasera que hablaría de marketing y ahora lo voy a hacer… ¿Por qué el Porsche 911 lleva el motor trasero? Por dos razones: Porque los “porschistas” más puros rechazan cualquier deportivo de Porsche que no lleve el motor ahí y por puro marketing. Y falta una cosa: Adjudicar apodos… pelotilla, Seat 600; el coche de las viudas, el Renault Dauphine; la Oca de hojalata al Tucker; y el filete… más bien el filete de los pobres, al Simca 1000.

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast we talk to John Denney about his mother, actress Dodo Denney. Now, you may not know the name Dodo Denney but definitely have seen her. This episode is a roaring good time with John as we talk about his mother being in one of the most beloved movies of all-time, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and also because John is the lead singer of one of the greatest punk bands of all-time, The Weirdos. Somehow we combine the best of LA punk rock, the allure of Hollywood and the difficulties of auditioning for a role against the same actors time and time again. We bop-diddly-uhm-bop tonight from topics as wonderfully weirdo as Kansas City TV horror host Marilyn The Witch, the Penelope Spheeris' punk rock documentary The Decline of Western Civilization, George “Goober” Lindsey, Corvair  cars, Frontier Records, Hallmark Cards, Iggy Pop, Rock-n-Roll Denny's, hitchhiking and a whole lot more. We got the Neuron Bomb in guest John Denney as he talks about growing up in the San Fernando Valley, seeing his mother lose roles to Alice Ghostley and making the difficult decision to be an extra in Dustin Hoffman's Straight Time or to headline The Whisky-a-Go-Go on the Sunset Strip in 1977. (Sigh) What's a young punk to do? And I say, destroy all podcasts, next on the Rarified Heir Podcast.

Others might call me boss, coach or mentor. Today you can call me The Leadership Hacker.   Thanks for listening in. I really appreciate it. My job as the leadership hacker is to hack into the minds, experiences, habits and learning of great leaders, C-Suite executives, authors and development experts so that I can assist you developing your understanding and awareness of leadership. I am Steve Rush and I am your host today. I am the author of Leadership Cake. I am a transformation consultant and leadership coach. I cannot wait to start sharing all things leadership with you   Today's guest is Cody Lowry. He's the President of the Automotive and Retail Division of the Intermark Group. He's also the author of Schmooze, but before we get a chance to speak with Cody, it's The Leadership Hacker News.   The Leadership Hacker News In today's news, we explore the concept behind hybrid working, or as it's often referred to, flexible working. Since the onset of the pandemic, a myriad of corporations have overhauled the way they operate. Now with the possibility of return to office on the horizon, only two thirds of workers are wanting to remain working from home, according to a recent survey by Gallup, their research has found that organizations need to develop a long-term hybrid work strategy that meets the needs of both employees and businesses. In determining these approaches, leaders should keep one concept at the top of their priority list, and that's flexibility. So remote working is no longer an added benefit, but a requirement for happy and productive people. So, here's some tips and ideas to help you think about your hybrid strategy. First things first, people come first. Support and organizations don't make assumptions about the way they think their employers currently work and want to in the future, you need to know exactly how your people want to work so that you can plan and putting the necessary steps in place, by gaining better insights and asking the right questions of your team, you can adapt and think about getting the best out of them so that you benefit as an organization. Create a number of different spaces and when I mean spaces, not physical spaces, but workspaces. Of course, some permanent desk spaces will still be needed, but your organization might want to start thinking about hot desks, video conferences, called pods or remote collaboration spaces that will help you get the best out of people working differently at different times, and from different locations. Create a truly inclusive workplace. There are obviously huge benefits of embracing the world of hybrid working, but it's also important to avoid that any inclusivity issues may arise when you kind of move to this model, there are concerns by some that it actually might lead to a creation of a two-tier workforce. Those who are constantly present in the office and those who designed to work more remotely, and as leaders, we need to make sure that people understand that whether they're in the office or not, their work is equally valued, you also need to be thoughtful around how and when meetings are held so that everybody feels included. Health, safety, and wellbeing are at the absolute heart of this activity. It doesn't matter whether your people are working from home or in an office. As a leader, you have a duty of care over your team. For those in an office, it's important to ensure that all the necessary steps are taken to create a COVID safe environment or those working from home need to be informed of the ways in which to protect their physical and mental health. And remember mental health is just as important as physical health, especially at the moment. And there's lots that we can do to make sure that we keep our physical and mental health employees at the front of our conversations. So, in summary, let's think about what needs to happen. We need to be thoughtful about the people, their environments, the choices that they make, and tapping into technology that helps us do that the best, whether we're in an office or whether we're working remotely. What's most important is, without your people being motivated, focused, and engaged, it doesn't really matter where they are. That's been The Leadership Hacker News, if you have any insights, information, please get in touch with us. Start of Podcast Steve Rush: Cody Lowry is a special guest on today's show. He's an entrepreneur, he's the President of the Automotive and Retail Division at the Intermark Group. He's also a speaker and author of the book Schmooze. Join me in welcoming Mr. Schmooze himself, Cody, welcome to the show. Cody Lowry: Well, thank you so much, Steve. I am delighted to be with you today and your folks out there, don't know how popular you are, but Steve and I actually had a conversation nine years ago and I finally got an opportunity to be on his show. So, I'm tickled to death to be here. Steve Rush: Schmooze and accent already, and we've only just got started, huh? Cody Lowry: There you go. There you go. Steve Rush: So, Cody, you have an amazing backstory and I will be really interested for the listeners to get a sense of kind of where you came from and how you've arrived to do what you do? Cody Lowry: Yeah, Steve, I really got a different story. We always hear about the rags to riches, while I'm actually a riches to rags kid. I was born into a family of wealth and blue blood, and by the time I was five, it was all gone. We lived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and with a seven-year period in a seven-mile radius we moved 32 times. So, it was you know, the lights were turned off. St. Vincent De Paul was my favorite Saint because he used to be there Christmas day. But, you know, just backtracking a little bit. There's a high school in Detroit named after my grandfather, there was a book written. He was the first President of Wayne State University. My mother was, actually, I call her the debutante mom because she made her debutante and went to a finishing school in Washington and, you know, had all the trappings of, you know, just a great life and a good life to come. She met my father, they were both camp counselors, swimming coaches at camp Chicopee in Northern Michigan. And he came from a pretty well to do family, but for whatever reason, they got married, had four beautiful children. And I was one of them. And they came to Florida and ran through whatever money they had. My dad became an alcoholic. My mom was an alcoholic. It was kind of a Helter Skelter childhood, was screaming and hollering and, you know, no food, the lights being changed and then moving 32 times. We actually lived in two places twice. Steve Rush: That's incredible. Cody Lowry: I can remember coming home with my little brother from school and we didn't live there anymore. So yeah, I had kind of a different childhood at age 11. I started selling papers and you're from across the pond there. So, you know who the Artful Dodger is. Steve Rush: Sure do. Cody Lowry: And at times I felt like the Artful Dodger, you know, my mom and my other siblings have been very successful. And I credit my mom. I can remember her after, you know, a few martinis looking across and say, you know, we may not have anything now, but you guys, you kids have blue blood in your veins and you can do whatever you want and blah, blah, blah. So, she instilled a confidence in us, I don't think otherwise would have had. And one of them was, you know, you got to get out there and make it happen. And, so at age 11, I started selling papers for the Miami News. Now I've got to ask you a question, Steve. Steve Rush: Go for it. Cody Lowry: And I want you to be real honest with me here. Would you buy a paper if I told you where you got your shoes, what state you were born in and how many birthdays you've had? Steve Rush: Pretty neat, yeah, I would think. Cody Lowry: Of course, you would, for a nickel. You got your shoes on your feet. You were born in the state of infancy, and you've only had one birthday the day you were born. Steve Rush: Nice. Cody Lowry: So, when you look at you know, where I came from and then I was raised with the doctors' kids and the lawyers' kids, because my mother made us believe that, you know, we were as good as anyone. And so, with that said, we always worked. And I think selling papers actually gave me a pretty good foundation for my life in general. Steve Rush: It's really interesting that 32 moves in such a short period of time is just a huge amount of disruption, isn't it? For a young person, young family, Cody Lowry: Christmas day, we moved. Steve Rush: Wow. Cody Lowry: And then my my mom is screaming at my father about you know, what about the Christmas tree? What about the Christmas tree? And the next thing, you know, Steve, he runs in the house, grabs the Christmas tree, lights, Tencel, and throws it on the back of a pickup truck. And with some expletives said, get in the truck and we're leaving. He did leave by the way my mother raised the four of us. And yeah, I can't tell you how much she really means to me. And, I think my siblings would pair at that comment. Steve Rush: Sure, I did some research a few years back, actually around resilience and what are the foundations and what could cause resilience and ingenuity and irony is, those people who are brought up in a service background who move a lot consistently in childhood have greater and deeper resilience. Cody Lowry: Really? Steve Rush: Because they're used to having to adapt. And I wonder if some of those foundations that you've got in your adult career and being successful around that resilience and that grit and determination come from that learning to adapt in those 32 moves? Cody Lowry: I would guess it did, you know, not everybody is obviously wired the same. And I can tell you that, I mean, I love people. I engage people at restaurants, the waiter, by the time that food is delivered. I know everything about that person and, you know, where they're from? What their dad did? And I just find that terribly interesting. And there's so many people in this world that we're never going to have an opportunity to meet. And I kind of regret that, and so, you know, I think when you're young and you're going through all those kinds of things, you learn how to make friends easily, or, you know, I say easily, you learn how to make friends. And with that, you know, you ask a lot of questions and I always ask a lot of question. I ask a lot of questions today. Steve Rush: Now you were affectionately known as the king of Schmooze. For people who have not heard of schmooze or not familiar with that, how would you describe what schmooze is? Cody Lowry: Well schmooze actually comes from the Yiddish word, which means to chat ideally, or to chat in a friendly persuasive manner, especially to gain favor in business or connections. And what I have done Steve is, I've redefined the word schmooze. And for me schmooze is a lot of things. The publisher put up 25, you know, different attributes for schmooze. And it's about building relationships. It's about a winning smile. It's about, you know, looking out after the little guy. It's about being contrarian and it's about, you know, having a heart and you know, it's about appreciating and there's 25 of them. I could list them, but it would you know, take a while here. Steve Rush: Sure, now you recognized at an early age that, we would call it, in the side of the pond, gift of the gab or the schmooze was the key foundation for you to be successful. What was it when you realized you were onto something around using this as a positive to help you become successful? Cody Lowry: So, I guess I learned, you know, the school was difficult for me because you know, moving around like that. And didn't, you know, live up to my own expectations. And so when I finally realized that, you know what? I got something here, I actually transferred from one high school to another high school. And it was transferred in my senior year. And I wasn't there, you know, probably six weeks and they were doing the superlative, you know, for the seniors. And somehow, I made it to my senior year, I don't know how. And they nominated me for the most talented, how did I get nominated? You know, I'm not even in the school two months and people are nominating me. Well, you know, that turned out to be a pretty pivotal year for me, Steve, because I was, you know, I was master of ceremonies of this, master of ceremonies of that. I got really heavy into, you know, theater and speech productions. And I think that's when I really found myself. And, you know, it obviously helped me once I got into college, Steve Rush: You managed to use schmooze in a number of different situations. And there are a couple you call out in the books. I'd love to explore them with you. Cody Lowry: Absolutely. Steve Rush: One was, how do you set up the meeting with the President in just one week from nowhere? Cody Lowry: Yeah, that was really something. At the time I was general sales manager for a large Chevrolet store and Jimmy Carter was coming into town. And he was running in for President and we were having a management meeting with the dealer and the General Manager, and what have you. And I just started thinking about him coming into town. I thought, oh my gosh, wouldn't that be a great PR move? If we could somehow set up a meeting with the President of the United States. Now I got to tell you, I had an angle. And my angle was, is that our dealer, Anthony Abraham. He was a very conservative guy, but he really thought that Jimmy Carter was taking a lot of heat at the time. He ran an article in the Fort Lauderdale news. I'm sorry, the Miami Herald, The Tampa Tribune and The St Petersburg Times. And it was called A Summer of Discontent by Walter Annenberg, another, a very conservative guy. And the thrust of the article, Steve, was that, you know, no matter how much you dislike the President or whatever issues you have, he's the only President we have, and we've got to support him and coming from two very conservative guys, you know, that was, you know, quite a tribute to put those full-page ads in those newspapers. So, I did have an angle and I said, the President coming in next week. Why don't we set up a meeting and see if we can't get a little PR out of it? And the dealer laughed and the general manager who was always watching his back thought I wanted his job, you know, he kind of ridiculed me somewhat, but they said, well, go see what you can do. And I did, the office I called was Jody Powell. You may remember Jody Powell, but he was the President right-hand guy. And he threw me to one guy, and then they threw me to another office and this office. And finally, I got ahold of the scheduling office and you know, my persistence was, you know, on full charge. And I was really wanting to make this thing happen. And the guy let me know really quickly. He said, Mr. Lowry, do you realize how many people want to set up a meeting with the President of United States? And I immediately shot back Steve. I said, well, that's probably true, but you could count on one hand, how many men just spent $20,000 in three of Florida's largest newspapers in a state that's going to be critical to the President in the upcoming election. Steve Rush: Wow, yeah Cody Lowry: And then he started “hoobadda habbada hubbadda wheeer!” you know, who am I talking to here? You know, and next thing, you know, I get a meeting with Kesha Grant and let her know what's going on. And we have a meeting with the President of the United States and that, by the way, you can Google that. Cody Lowry, President Carter or Tommy Abraham, and it shows, you know, the President's schedule back then, and today. They've got every little minute, you know, logged in, what he did? Who he talked to? And so, yeah, so we set up a meeting with the President of the United States and that did not hinder my progress with Abraham Chevrolet, I did very well after that. Steve Rush: Awesome. And also, there's a couple of whacking, great leadership lessons there isn't there? That whole kind of persistence and resilience and never let up is a really big one for me. But you know, the other is the squeaky wheel gets the oil. Cody Lowry: Absolutely. Steve Rush: And you know, if you're really passionate about something and you want people to know that you're passionate, if you stop squeaking, you're not going to get the oil. Cody Lowry: Well, that's absolutely true. Yeah, I agree with that. Steve Rush: So, the other one I was really fascinated by, is you ended up carrying the Olympic torch for the Olympic games, and that again was because of your schmooze. Tell us how that came up? Cody Lowry: Well, you know, in the book I talk about mentoring and the importance of mentoring. I can remember when I was in college driving a Corvair, unsafe at any speed that used more oil than gasoline. And I was, you know, robbing Peter to pay Paul as they say. And you know, I was a big brother, and that's not in the book, but for those out, in other parts of the world. Big brother and big sisters, where you take on an individual, a young child who's comes from a, you know, a really difficult situation and, you know, you mentor to them. And so, carrying the torch was just that. As you pointed out in the beginning of the show, I'm in advertising. And at the time we represented all the Chevrolet dealers in the Tampa Bay area. And one of the gentlemen that was in charge of Chevrolet at the time was Kurt Ritter and just a wonderful guy. He lives in Bel Air California now. And he is, I think, chairman of Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising, but at the time he was moving up the ladder with a Chevrolet and he had moved out of the Tampa Bay area, went to Detroit. He was head marketing manager for Chevrolet motor division. And I get a call one day, and while we were close, we weren't, you know, I mean, we talked, you know, maybe every six months if saw each other at a meeting, but his son was living in in Tampa and struggling at the time. He graduated, just graduated from college and was having a real difficult time getting a job. And, and Kurt called me and asked if I could spend some time with him, and I said absolutely. So, we did kind of like, you know, Tuesdays with Morrie's right. It was Tuesdays with Kurt's son, and he was, you know, flipping hamburgers at Friday, that's a hamburger joint. And would he just couldn't get his footing in the segment he want to get into, and that was a film, and what have you. And so, I remember after about six weeks, he called me up. He says, can I come in and talk to you? And I said, sure. He was excited. And I kind of thought maybe he had a job. And he said, I got a job. And I said, really, where is that? And he goes, he says, well, it's with Campbell Ewald. And all of a sudden, a red light went off. Campbell Ewald was a national agency for Chevrolet. And I know how he got that job, and that's not the job he wanted. And after he was done telling me about, you know, being a junior account executive, and I just looked across the table from where we were, and I said, you know what? You don't want to take that. I said, that's not what you want to do. Your dad can pick up the phone today, tomorrow, a year from now and get you that same position. I said, you're passionate about the film industry. You're passionate about, you know, what you went to school for. I said, stick with it. And don't, you know, he took my advice and a week later he got his dream job out of Miami. Well, now I start becoming very close to the family. I'm invited to weddings and, you know, when he's in Florida, you know, we go to the football games together. And I think the mentoring is what really makes it happen in life and being able to give something back. Then the next thing I know out of the clear blue, he calls me up and said, Cody, he said, how would you like to carry the torch in the Olympics? He had reached that level at Chevrolet motor division, where he could pick a couple of people. And I must tell you, he had relationships with agencies that were huge, right, the dwarf mine. Steve Rush: Right. Cody Lowry: He knew all the big Chevrolet dealers in the country. He called me and asked me, and I credit it with the mentoring. Steve Rush: Yeah, it's fascinating, isn't it? And it just goes to show that if you're not open to opportunity, because you've been directed or you've been following a path that you don't believe to be true or purposeful. You miss out on that natural occurring opportunity, right? Cody Lowry: Absolutely. Steve Rush: Yeah, so when was it you thought, right. There's definitely something in this schmooze, so I'm going to write a book about it. How did that come about? Cody Lowry: So, you know, I knew I wanted to write a book because some, you know, obviously crazy things have happened to me. If you'll indulge me here, you know, getting a baseball signed by The Pope, getting a super bowl ring from an NFL hall of fame coach, auditioning for Saturday Night Live within a 48-hour notice. And, you know, I just felt like I was wired a little bit differently. And you know, I was living this journey, this eclectic journey that I'm still living. And some really wonderful things have happened to me as a result of, you know, reaching out and being there for other people, and my personality, I don't know if your pre notes show it, but I was actually born with a lampshade on my head. So, you know, the humorous aspect of my personality didn't hurt. And I just decided that I was going to write a book, and that was 2017. And, you know, I'm still working full time. And so, you know, I did it at night and put together what I thought was a really good life story, not a biography for sure. But you know, life lessons from somebody who's walked the walk. Steve Rush: Yeah. Cody Lowry: So many times, I'm in a situation where I see a speaker, great in front of an audience, or I'll read a book and so much of it. And I say this respectfully is, regurgitated, internet stuff. And then I hear the same thing this guy said, and this person says this. And, you know, every story in the book that I have, I mean, it's me, it's real life. It's, you know, it's really, you know, it's from somebody who's walked the walk. Steve Rush: Did she walk the walk or did you schmooze the schmooze? Cody Lowry: I think I probably did a little bit of both; you know, I was schmoozing and when I didn't know what the word meant. Steve Rush: Exactly, yeah. So, in the book, you call these out as schmooze essentials. So, what are they and how as a leader might I use them? Cody Lowry: So, yeah, the last chapter is schmooze essential. And it's a collection of things that I wanted to leave people with that are just real important and you know, paying a compliment. There's actually 10, so I won't go over all 10, but paying a compliment. You know, you go into a restaurant, somebody gives you a great service and you throw down your money. And I know in some countries that's not required or not the custom, but in the United States, you know, we leave a gratuity. And one thing that I have learned over the years, it's much more important than a gratuity is to pay a compliment. You know, John, that was maybe the best service I've ever had. And I mean, they light up like a Christmas tree. I mean, it's amazing. So, you know, paying a compliment. It's about laughing at yourself and, you know, some of us take ourselves way too seriously, and I've been with some movers and shakers who are, you know, they wouldn't put a smile on their face if they had to, but, you know, it's about actually not taking yourself too seriously. I'll tell you a real quick story, if I may. I'm charging and I come home, I've got three little kids and I said, little kids, they're ten, nine and eight. And my wife and I had just bought this brand-new suede couch, green suede couch. And, you know, I really felt like I had arrived, Steve, you know, to have this couch. And so, I walk in and I look at the couch and there's a big stain on the couch, and I almost can't believe it. What happened? Well, immediately I called the three children. Cody, Chelsea, Kit, get up here right now and up they come, you know, and I look at that couch, the stain, and I said, I want to know who did it? I want to know now, and I want to know the truth. And young Cody looks up at me. He said, dad, you can't handle the truth, from the movie, you know? He disarmed me and I started laughing. How stupid? Why am I getting so upset about a stain? And so, you know, it is about laughing at yourself. It's about making sure that you understand that, you know, not just, Coca-Cola not just Nike, you have a brand. Who are you? What slags do you waive? If a hundred people had to say something about you, what would they say? And think for young people starting out in business, I think it's so important that you establish who you are and build your brand. And so, you know, that's in there, it's about appreciating what we have, you know I told my kids when they were growing up, you know, bemoan the fact that maybe they didn't have the latest and the greatest this or that, because I didn't believe in giving it to them. You know, you have it better than 99.9% of all the people that have ever lived on the face of this earth. And you know, I think that actually connected with them, you know, in the book, I've got all kinds of things. In the last chapter, there are 10 different things. Steve Rush: I resonate with that. I had very similar conversation with my youngest son just this weekend actually. Cody Lowry: What happened? Steve Rush: Well, it was a case of just not recognizing the value of what he had versus the value of what he didn't have. Cody Lowry: I gotcha. Steve Rush: And sometimes it's just about helping people who have been, and I class myself to be very fortunate in having the spoils of a successful career behind me. And he's been born into a life that I wasn't born into with lots of spoils and lots of other things that I would have never had at his age. And just sometimes helping to reframe how fortunate they are. Isn't all about either material things. It's about the surroundings and the environment they're in too, right? Cody Lowry: So true. So true. You know, one of the things in the last chapter is, I tell people to be a pushover, you know, I'm an easy mark for these people on the street. And I mean, I never say, no, I feel guilty if I look down and, you know, I'm in my car and I don't have some change or some whatever to give them, but I've done my homework. And most of these people they're hungry, 85% of these people are hungry. So yeah, there are some people that are trying to put you together. And in the book, I talk about being a pushover and I actually talk about a story when our whole family went to a West Virginia and the airport was closed down. And I went downtown with my kids and my bride and we were going to get some food and it was a cold night and the kids were probably right around that, you know, 7, 8, 9 ages. And all of a sudden somebody grabs me on my shoulder and I turned around and, you know, I see this guy with all his hair going on and, you know, kind of, you got some money or something like that. And I said, no, I don't. And, you know, I kind of shoot him away, I thought, and then, you know, about a minute later, there he is again. And now I get in his face, because I'm really upset. I'm very protective of my kids and I don't want this guy, you know, endangering my family. And I react like, I guess any father would. So, you know, I got in his face, tell him to get out. I was going to call the police, so on and so forth. I got to the restaurant and my son Cody remembers this. And I said to my wife, I said, you know, I didn't really treat that guy too well and who knows what's going on in his life. And so, I gave her my watch. I gave her all of about, you know, 50 bucks that I had. And I said, I'm going to go find him and see what's going on. So, I left the restaurant, I walked up this alley and down the street and there he was, he was sitting on a park bench with his significant other, and they had a blanket around them. And I came up to him from the side there. So, he didn't really no I was coming and I said, Hey. And he looked at me, he almost jumps, you know? And I said, no, no, no. I just want to tell you, I apologize for the way I acted. And I said, are you guys hungry? And they both looked at me and they said, yeah. I said, well, come on. Let's go. And so, I was actually thinking about taking them to the Mexican restaurant and there was a McDonald's across the street, not too far from where we were. And he said, well, how about McDonald's? And I said, sure. So, we went into McDonald's and, you know, his girlfriend was first and she looked back at me and I said, go, whatever you want, just get it, you know? So, she got two big Macs, she got an apple pie, she got the big fry, whatever it was. And I thought she was ordering for both of them. And then he got up there. He said, I'll take the same. But, you know, my kids learned a big lesson, as I said, Cody still remembers that day. And all of my kids have followed me as it relates to being, you know, maybe considered overly generous to these people. But you know, when you look at what's been the stowed on me and my family and, you know, everything, even talking to Steve here, you know, it's you know, I've got a lot to be thankful for, you know, I know that everybody does, Steve Rush: It's a great lesson as well, isn't it? So, the one thing that struck me in the book as well, that you call out was called the what if syndrome. Cody Lowry: Oh, the what if syndrome? Yeah. Everybody is always, you know, what if this happens? What if that happens? And it's about, you know, when I talk about stepping out of your schmooze zone and I tell people that I'm not going to, you know, I'm not going to jump off the Skyway Bridge or the San Francisco Bay bridge or bungee jump. But, you know, in life I have looked at things, I've looked at challenges and, you know, I've always gone for it. And I think a lot of people are held back by, you know, their peers and people that, you know, their bosses and what have you. And they have this fear of people. Well, I've never really had that fear. So, if I thought maybe, I could do something, you know, I just went out and did it. In the book I talk about, you know, running a marathon, somebody bet me a hundred dollars that, you know, I couldn't run a marathon. And I said, well, yeah, I could run a marathon and they laughed. And, you know, I'm really in great shape today, Steve. But back then I was a little sloppy, right. And I remember Steve Chapman, he was President of the DuPont Registry and he was running the Marine Corps marathon. And I said, well, I could probably do that. Maybe I'll do that with you. And he started laughing because it was the funniest thing I've ever heard. And I got to tell you in high school, I think the most I ever did from an exercise standpoint, I think I had to run a mile to actually get my diploma. So anyway, I took him up on it. And it's a great story, it's a fun story. But I got to tell you, when I started off the first the first week trying to, you know, kind of get into this thing, I thought, boy, I had really made a big mistake. I couldn't get a quarter of a mile before I was gasping for air. I was going around this Lake Hollingsworth, was three and a half miles. And I went, dear God, I can't even get around this lake. And but, before all was done, I had run around that lake eight times. And I did, I competed in the Marine Corps marathon. And so, I would say my advice is just, you know, go with what your gut tells you. And don't listen to some naysayers out there. And you know, we've got a lot of great people, have accomplished a lot of things in this world by taking that advice for sure. Steve Rush: Definitely, so. I'm going to ask you to step out of the schmooze zone now, Because I'm going to turn the lens a little into your world of leadership. So, you've been a successful leader of a number of different businesses. So, I want to really tap into that leadership mind of yours now. First place, I'm going to go Cody, is to ask you what your top three leadership hacks would be? Cody Lowry: So, you know, a big part of the book and a part of my background in business. And then, you know, my whole life has been building relationships, building relationships that last, you know, Steve and my business, if you have an account for two or three years, you know, you can be very, very thankful. We have accounts on the book that have been there for 30 years, plus 30 years. And I always tell people it's about the secret sauce. You say the three things, number one, build the relationship. And I think a lot of people get this wrong. They say, oh, it's going to take me years to build a relationship. You build the relationship within the first 60 seconds that you meet somebody. Steve Rush: Sure. Cody Lowry: And I'm well aware of that. If I go into a meeting, I know more about that guy than probably the people that work for him. So, it's building the relationships and then it's earning their trust, okay. That's the foundation of every relationship. It's the foundation of every business relationship, earning their trust and being there for them. And then number three, endeavoring to never let them down. And you know, I've got clients, I'm their blankie. I mean, they call me on the weekends, you know, Sunday, you know, and a lot of times it's not even related to you know, the business necessarily it's, you know, something that's happening in their life. And if I have been with them for 20 to 30 years, I'm also their friend, right? Steve Rush: Right. Cody Lowry: So yeah, so building the relationship, getting them to trust you and then never letting them down. Steve Rush: Awesome tips and ideas. Thank you, appreciate you sharing that. The next part of the show we've called Hack to Attack. So, this is typically where something screwed up. Hasn't worked out well at all, but as a result of the experience, you now use it as a positive in your life and work. So, what would be your Hack to Attack Cody? Cody Lowry: Yeah, my Hack to Attack. I mean, you know, one of the quotes that's in the book and it's a Japanese proverb and it says fall down seven times, get up eight. And I can tell you I've done that, you know, many, many times in my life and no one is you know, everybody's got adversity in their life. And so, when I get people that kind of get carried away with it, I remind them of this deal that you know, you have to get up and you have to keep charging and early in business. I was, you know, I got taken by a guy that was, you know, I thought he was my mentor, right. And he was the big shot in the Tampa Bay area as far as advertising, I'm not going to mention his name, but he brought me on, he wanted me to work for him and that didn't work. So, he made me kind of a quasi-partner, if you will. And we became partners. And after about six months I realized that he had been going to the accountant and taking money out of the company to buy a home in St. Croix and this, that, and the other. Well to make kind of a long story short. When I finally realized that this guy needed to be out of my life, I had the accounting people came in and they said, well, Cody, you're in the hole about a half a million dollars. I almost couldn't believe it, right? Half a million dollars, me? Little Cody Lowery, you know, paper boy. I'm in debt, half a million. So, the attorneys got together and they decided the best thing for me to do would be to just file bankruptcy, you know, in our country, you can file bankruptcy. You can actually start the next day in another job. And they said, this is our only way out, your only way out. And I looked across the table at you know, three people that went to pretty good law schools. That's not what I'm going to do. And I said, I'm going to go to the suppliers. I'm going to talk to them. I'm going to tell them exactly what happened. The reason it got so big, we were dealing with TV stations and, you know, TV time, and it's very expensive, but I went to maybe six TV stations where the bulk of that was, and I met with the General Manager or President of the TV station. And I told him exactly what happened. And I said, I can't pay you today, but I will pay you over time. I believe I'm going to be successful. And you know what, there wasn't one that said no, and every one of them got their money, so, yeah. Steve Rush: It's a lovely story. Many people would have taken the easy route out and, you know, file for bankruptcy, but that just shows a kind of character that sits behind the man. So, congratulations for you. Cody Lowry: Thank you. Thank you. Steve Rush: The last thing we want to do today, Cody is give you a chance to do some time travel. So, you now have the opportunity to go back in time, bump into Cody at 21 and give him some words of wisdom, some advice, what would it? Cody Lowry: I would say, and not to rehash what we've already talked about, but if you have a dream, if you have a goal, don't put it on hold, find a way to, you know, go after that dream or that goal. And I would say, you know, get rid of the naysayers in your life. And, you know, when I was starting out at age 21, Steve, I mean, I got to tell you, I was a little naive and I don't think being naive is really so bad because you go down avenues that maybe other people would know or can't, what are you crazy? You know, and so I think part of my advice would be, you know, it's okay to be naive, you know, just, just real quick. Auditioning for Saturday Night Live within a 48-hour period, I was doing standup comedy and I went to New York. I had, you know, enough money to last, maybe a week. And, you know, I did catch a rising star and the improv and what have you. And I decided just you know; I've got two days left. I know what I'll do. I'll audition for Saturday Night Live. Oh, really? How are you going to pull that one off? Well, I was naive, you know, and it worked for me. And, you know, two days later there, I was for Saturday Night Live doing my Jimmy Carter. My name is Jimmy Carter, I always tell the truth. If I could tell lie, I grow another tooth. It's okay to be naïve, and you know, so that would be my advice. Steve Rush: Awesome, So Cody I've loved schmoozing with you, but for our listeners who might want to continue the conversation beyond our show today, where's the best place for us to send them when we are done. Cody Lowry: mrschmooze.com, that's mrschmooze.com. My book Schmooze, what they should teach at Harvard Business School. It's obviously available on Barnes & Noble and Amazon. There is also an audio book out there, which is I hear pretty good. And so yeah, the website's good and wherever books are sold. Steve Rush: Awesome, we'll make sure those are all in our show notes as well, so that people can literally stop listening to us and start listening to some more of you. So, Cody, thank you so much. I know you're incredibly busy and it's a real privilege and an honor for us to have you on our show. And thanks for being part of The Leadership Hacker Community.

Why does my 1999 Isuzu Amigo have an intake noise.  A 1964 Corvair needs help with brakes.  Why does my 2008 Ram Truck Cruise Control not work? Why does my 2005 Ford 500 start hard after a rain? Why does my 2013 Jeep Wrangler have sticking brakes? Where can I find 5w30 non-synthetic engine oil? Why does my 2007 Ford Explorer not shift? What maintenance does my car need? 1955 Chevy Radiator Fix. Interview with Yvette Vanderbrink of Vanderbrink Auctions.

With a focus on celebrating the legacy of the Chevrolet Corvair in this On The Move, hosts Matt Avery and John Kraman set the stage with a brief rundown of the model's history, which ran from 1960 through 1969. John goes into the various versions while Matt highlights what may be the hottest of them all: the ultra-rare Yenko Stinger. Matt gives the inside scoop on how a crafty Pennsylvania dealer, Don Yenko, ordered 125 COPO Corvairs and turned them into buzzing track machines. Moving on to a major Mecum news announcement, Matt and John Kraman share how the upcoming Orlando Summer Special is expanding to include an additional day to accommodate the continually growing list of consignments. More than 1,000 vehicles are expected to cross the auction block throughout the four days, July 28-31. Then it's on to recent race news, including highlights from SRX race No. 4, before a discussion of the rumors surrounding the likely return of Ram's Dakota pickup truck. The big question on the guys' minds is the size, and each ponders how large or small the hauler might be when it arrives sometime in the next couple of years. Wrapping up, John has detected some changing terminology in the ever-changing world of electric vehicles and discusses the latest on what he's heard. Cruising along, Matt and John shift focus back to Corvair conversation and crank things up with a chat with passionate collector and enthusiast Reuben Ezekiel. Reuben is the owner and man responsible for assembling the Miami Corvair Collection, a group of nearly 15 Corvairs—the largest ever present at a Mecum event—headed to the upcoming Orlando Summer Special. His group includes everything from sport coupes and sedans, to panel vans, station wagons and even a rampside truck. Reuben shares the origins of his Corvair love, which all began with a fond connection with his dad, who drove one in New York City. He then fills Matt and John in on his search over the past couple of years, during which he's hit the ground hard, scouring the country for Corvairs of all kinds to add to his vast and ever-growing collection. Wrapping up, Matt and John call up Mike Hall, president of the Corvair Society of America (CORSA), one of the largest clubs to focus on the model. Mike was also instrumental in the establishment and running of the Corvair Museum in Glenarm, Illinois. He gives insight into the club and how they foster a sense of learning and technical support. Finally, the guys ask for his perspective on how the Corvair continues to connect with crowds of all kinds and ages.

Ny filmide er klar fra podcastens svar på Hollywood, og denne gangen er det Hilberg som ønsker å filmatisere historien om et av hans hjertebarn, nemlig Chevrolet Corvair. "Unsafe at any speed" sier du? Det kan hende Hilberg har noen andre innvendinger rundt akkurat det. Blir det slakt eller skryt fra resten av panelet, tro?

Newer music (Corvair, This Is The Kit, Nap Eyes, Ruth Good) is mixed in with older stuff (West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, Linda Smith, Candi Staton), as Bob Nastanovich and Mike Hogan discuss all topics from environmentally friendly lawnmowers, former MLB star Otis Nixon's personal life, and the possibility of a Pavement tour in 2022.

MyFirstRidePodcast.com During the next four weeks, I'm going to talk about different cars with air cooled engines. What a deal, not having to mess with coolant and radiators! Today, I highlight the Chevy Corviar. When first introduced, kind of boxy and ugly. But towards the end of production, the Corvair was pretty stylish. Even Jay Leno says they're cool. More on that later. My inspiration for talking about the Corviar came as I watched Jay Leno feature one of his on YouTube. Very cool. Even Tony Dow from Leave it To Beaver has on. This is going to be fun to talk about and I know you're going to enjoy this story. So, let's get right into it.

Corvair - "Sailor Down" from the 2021 album Corvair on Where It’s At Is Where You Are. KEXP is a listener-funded nonprofit, and we need your help to keep creating podcasts like this one. Donate to our Spring Drive today! Portland duo Corvair made the most of quarantine by turning out their self-titled debut while on lockdown. The two had recorded plenty of times with their previous bands — Ruston Mire, Tube Top, Pop Sickle, The Service Providers for Brian Naubert and Eux Autres for Heather Larimer — but this was a whole new experience for the music veterans. “Recording and writing new music without the benefit of testing ideas in front of a live audience was strange,” said Naubert in a press release. “But ultimately, it gave us the freedom to really play with ideas and explore things we hadn’t ever tried before.” The intimacy of the stay-at-home orders also allowed the couple to express themselves more freely. “These are definitely the most exposed and truthful lyrics we have ever written,” Naubert states, “And musically, we just went for it. We didn’t try to talk ourselves out of weird moves, like laying some Mamas and Papas-style harmonies next to a Cars-esque keyboard solo or aggressive guitar work.” “We are so happy that our first singles have had such an excellent response," Larimer adds, “That our particular cocktail of feelings and sounds is connecting with people.”  Read the full post on KEXP.org KEXP is a listener-funded nonprofit, and we need your help to keep creating podcasts like this one.

Y está claro que le tiene cariño a ese disco, tercero de la carrera de The Cure, ("Faith") de 1981 porque de ese álbum extrajo los tres temas que interpretó Robert Smith en un maratón benéfico ("Letters to Santa") de 24 horas para ayudar con comida y ropa a las familias en situación de riesgo. Mientras se despeja la duda de si Daft Punk formarán parte como firmantes de lo que será "Tron 3" sale la edición aumentada con nueve temas inéditos de lo que fue hace diez años la banda sonora de "The legacy". Noticia del día es que Sophie Ellis-Bextor anuncia que tiene medio terminado el disco que sucederá a "Familia" de 2016 y que ya será el séptimo de su carrera. Como consecuencia de la versión de Lukah Boo de un tema de Gilbert O´Sullivan hemos recuperado una pieza de lo que fue su disco de 1980 "Off centre" que ya era el sexto suyo. Homenaje a la figura de Leslie West, cantante y guitarrista de la banda (tocaron en el mítico festival de Woodstock) Mountain, que contaba 75 años, y falleció el pasado 23 en Florida. Novedades de aquí son el canto de Iseo & Dodosound al año que se termina y ha cambiado la vida de la gente; la versión de Novel de un tema de La Granja de su "Tobogán", el avance con declaración de amor del segundo álbum de Sonograma y la revisión de un clásico unido a Gene Kelly por parte de Noise Box celebrando sus dos décadas de vida. En la recta final, junto a un mítico tema de Navidad de hace sesenta años de Ella Fitzgerald, la revisión por Cecilia Lund de una pieza que interpretaba la danesa Nina con olor a Bond; el nuevo proyecto (European Sun) en el que están implicados Amelia Fletcher y Rob Pursey y el sentimiento y soledad desde Portland de Corvair. Recordamos que este miércoles será el especial de lo que ocurrió el pasado 19 en el teatro de Montijo en el homenaje a Alexandre Lacaze. Escuchar audio

Chevrolet Corvair In this episode, I cover the Chevrolet Corvair, a unique car created in 1960 to help meet the growing demand for compact cars. The Corvair broke many of the American car "rules" and was powered by a rear-mounted air-cooled flat 6 engine, the car also looked very European in its design. The Corvair would be produced for almost a decade and would sell very well, but would ultimately be killed by the more American cars of the Mustang and the Camaro. Thanks for Listening!

Chevrolet in 60s needed an entry-level car to win against Europe-small cars after WWII was imported in the US. Competitors were Volkswagen Beetle, Renault Dauphine, and other middle-size cars, with rear and air-cooled engines, with low fuel need, low maintenance, and fair performance. The result was a car with a 6-cylinder rear boxer air-cooled engine, with very nice design, better room inside, better performance, and beautiful sound. Yes, some adjustment for suspensions and brakes was needed, but nobody is perfect. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/johnny-garage/message

I bought my 1968 Camaro Rally Sport from a used car lot in Thousands Oaks California. It was light blue inside and out. It had a four speed manual transmission and bucket seats. The body looked pretty good, although I would find out later that it had some bodywork done on the passenger door and truck lid. I bought the Camaro in my senior year of high school or soon after graduating. I can’t remember exactly when. During my high school years I worked in a gas station. It was good for me because I learned how to work on cars.  My First and Second Cars I was driving a 1954 Ford truck. It had lots of problems so it wasn’t long before I realized a replacement was in order. You can listen to that story here. I bought a Red1964 Corvair Monza that was in good shape. Just needed tires and new carpet. The Corvair was fun and very reliable. I bought new tires. They were called Tiger Paws if I remember correctly. They were wide and had a red stripe on the sidewall. I bought some small Chevrolet hubcaps and repainted the rims black. Like I said it was fun but I wanted something more. Moving up to a Camaro The Camaro had stock wheels with ugly hubcaps. A common look for sporty cars in that time was to have split rims. They were modified to be wider than the originals. You would take the tires off the wheels and send them to a machine shop.  They would put the wheels on a lathe and cut them, or split them into two pieces. Then they would bend a piece of metal that is two, three, or four inches wide and weld it into the wheel. I think mine were two or three inches wider than stock. I only did the two rear wheels because that was the look I wanted. When you mounted the tires on the wheels it spread them out. With wide tires on the back and stock on the front it look sweet! The car didn’t need much more work other than a good wash and wax. But after driving it a while I noticed it would jerk slightly or shudder when I let out the clutch. General Motors Motor Mount Breakage Causes Clutch Shudder I started a process of trying to figure out what was causing the shudder. That problem turned into the most difficult mechanical issues to resolve of all my vehicles. It resulted in me pulling out the transmission probably six times.  I replaced two clutches, a new flywheel, and a transmission overhaul to replace the throw-out bearing sleeve on the front of the transmission. Checked the clutch linkage. Lubed everything relating to the clutch. I just couldn’t find the problem. The owner of the gas station I worked at was a master mechanic. We worked together on it but couldn’t figure it out. I talked to other mechanics but no one could help. One day I was talking to a guy about the problem. He mentioned that Chevrolet cars in that era had problems with engine motor mounts breaking.  If the motor mounts were broken and the driver accelerated hard the engine would lift up. That would bind the throttle linkage and cause the throttle to stick in that position. You can imagine the problem with having the throttle to stick in a heavy acceleration position. The car would continue at that speed even after the driver took their foot off the gas pedal. Rather than replacing motor mounts on hundreds of thousands of cars GM decided to put cable straps from the car frame around the exhaust manifold and back. The purpose was to hold the engine in place during a hard acceleration. After talking with that guy I had hope of coming up with a solution. When I got to work that night I had my boss watch the engine when I let the clutch out with the park brake on. The engine lifted up and the car shuddered! The broken mounts could have not only bound the throttle linkage but they also could affect the clutch linkage. That was the cause of the clutch shudder. I replaced the engine mounts and the problem was fixed. After all the problems and working on the car so much I got burnt out and...

Good morning everybody! I was on with Ken and Matt. We talked about Tesla's designs and why it can be dangerous and the huge amount of energy of Lithium-Ion batteries and why they are extremely dangerous when damaged.   I also announced a free one-time master class on Mobile Security.  It Friday, Nov. 1st at 4 PM ET and will run until I have answered all your questions. Sign up to attend on my website.  This master class will not be available on replay. These and more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com --- Related Articles: They Look Cool but How Safe Are They? --- Automated Machine Generated Transcript: Hey, good morning, everybody. I was on with, Ken and Matt, but this week Eric Lusk sat in for Matt. And we talked a lot about this whole Tesla thing and a little bit about vehicle testing what's happening out there, and my major concerns about some of these electric car designs that are at this point starting to take lives. You know, it's one thing to be cool as in the hip kids, or what do they call it nowadays? Sick, right, which doesn't make any sense to me. But it's one thing to be cool or sick. It's another thing to be unsafe at any speed. I made reference to that as well. And hey, I am going to be out in Phoenix, Arizona, on at a big conference and have some meetings and things I'll be out there for a couple of a week and a half, I guess is what it boils down to. So I am going to be a little spotty In some things I'm doing, I'm going to try and while I'm going to do the regular radio show and videos for this weekend, my lives and stuff, we're going to change format obviously, because I'm going to be on the road. And we'll kind of, well, we'll take it as we go. I just got a lot to do. And here we go with our friends in Maine. Here we go. On the WGAN Morning News, and what happens every Wednesday when it turns to be 730 or Saturday when it's one o'clock. We talked to Mr. Peterson, this is no exception. Good morning, Mr. Peterson. Hey, Good Morning Ken and Eric Eric is subbing for Matt, so happy to have you on again. You know, I'm so in tech news. I'm so Tesla has a futuristic door handle in their car and they were responsible for a death in a fiery wreck.  Yeah. It isn't a whole lot of fun man technology is everywhere nowadays it's you know people are taking pictures there you are talking about revenge porn earlier today and it just been entering our lives without really a whole lot of fun other than isn't this kind of cool and you know I love this tech and you know I really love high-tech right and although in some cases I avoid it like the plague. For instance, in my car.  I have a 1980 Mercedes Benz diesel. So it's almost you know, zombie apocalypse proof right there. The it's the exact opposite of his Tesla that you're talking about. And we saw just a man about a month ago. I think the video came out of someone supposedly driving sleeping down the mass pike in their Tesla. And it's you know, that's become a bit of a problem. It's almost a meem nowadays that we're seeing. Tesla's use basically the same batteries that are in your laptop. And you've, you've heard about all these different battery problems, right? The Samsung Galaxy phones, for instance, have had serious problems with catching fire people have had them catch fire at night in the evening when they're asleep in bed at night. And they have it right there next to their head on the charger and they catch fire. And, you know, I don't think anyone died from that yet. But it very, very dangerous. Apple had a problem with some of their batteries in their phones that were started to swell and potentially catch fire and there's some photos of a couple of those online airlines do not allow you to bring your lithium-ion batteries which are in our laptops and in our phones into the checked baggage on airplanes. You might have seen videos of these phones I just mentioned have in fact those Samsung's I was talking about completely banned from all planes because of the dangers involved. These lithium-ion batteries contain a lot of power. And what ends up happening with the batteries is that if they get too hot or if they get physically damaged, bad things can do happen. Because internally inside the bones inside these batteries, the the the electrodes the wires if you will and find the batteries short out, and when they short out and all of that power is released. All of a sudden you have a tone of heat due to all that power, think how long laptop so last month, my MacBook Pro that I have my new laptop, it goes eight hours on a battery. And the thing has 16 cores in a 16 CPUs. It has a 32 gig, I think it is a ram. It's got a graphics processor in there. And it requires tons and tons of power. Now, if I'm doing video editing and rendering, then I'm only got about an hour of power. But I think back to my very first laptop that had a battery that only lasted me about half an hour. And that was a course a couple of decades ago. And it's just amazing. So here's what's happening with these. Tesla's two things. First of all, they're using the same basic battery technology that's in your laptop that's in your cell phones. And the myth busters did a great little thing on this and that is you guys might have heard about this These trash trucks catching on fire. And they go around the neighborhood, of course, they collect the garbage. They have the compactor, compact and what MythBusters did is they took one of these lithium-ion batteries, they put it into a rigged up trash truck, so that it was guaranteed to damage that battery when it was compacted. And of course it's caught fire. So, a big problem with lithium-ion batteries in cars, if they are in an accident, what can happen is those batteries of course deform. And now all of that power is released. So in this particular case, we're talking about a 48-year-old anesthesiologist in South Florida who was in a car accident. And sure enough, those batteries lithium-ion batteries in this Tesla caught fire and the fire department had to put the fire out multiple times. Because again, there's so much power and it just shorts out. Now you were talking about The handles, the door handles on his car if you look at them  if you have one, you know that it has little handles, car latches that are called auto-present handles so that when you walk up to the car and you have your phone with you, you have your key with you the Tesla sensors that and it presents the door handles they pop out of the car door so you can pull them out. Well police officers showed up on the scene could not open the door because of the failure that occurred because of the accident and no door handles and all were present. Now can you know that I spent 10 years and I was a volunteer in emergency medicine right? I was an EMT, I had received TP id you know all these different certifications and because of that experience I will not buy a car It doesn't have a big solid door handle on it. Like my Mercedes, for instance, you know you can use and pull laughing like crazy and it'll open because sometimes the first responders have seconds to get you out of that car. And you need some leverage, you have to have something to pull on. Well, I've had cars in the past, made by a US manufacturer or major one that those little handles you kind of stick your fingers underneath and pull them out and pops a door open. Those are useless in the crash for the emergency responders. So this poor guy, 48-year-old anesthesiologist, he's in a car wreck slammed into a car into a palm tree. And now there is a wrongful death lawsuit filed because his car filled with smoke. He was helpless inside. The coroner's report said that he wasn't injured in the crash. And you know, Tesla's are great for that. They're the crash test. They did on the Tesla show it was they had to change the test because it did so well. But what the test didn't account for is those lithium-ion batteries with all of those power in the back, and those batteries catching fire that could not be put out by the fire department for hours. And in this particular case, those door handles that could not be reached and could not be used for leverage is that police officer watched the doctor align inside of you know, apparently he died of smoke inhalation won't get any more details. But this is stuff we have to consider. When we're looking at vehicles. We're looking at electric cars, which by the way, are never zero emissions. That might be zero mission from the car while you're driving it. But there are all kinds of poisonous chemicals that are used in the manufacturing and studies that I've looked at that I agree with looking The science of all show that they are more polluting than anything else almost on the road, even more so than my diesel, Mercedes. So depending on the type of pollution you're worried about, anyhow, Craig, I'm sitting here looking at a picture of a Ford Pinto, which I had this I had a really reminiscent my father had one and I used to ride in the backseat in the bucket seat, which was great. Yeah, I was sitting right behind the driver with the gas can right underneath me. Yeah, exactly. It was leaked into the passenger compartment. Eric, Eric. You know, the gases even a rear-end collision and the Pinto would lead guests right into the passenger compartment. You're right. huge problem. You remember GM with the gas tanks in their trucks and the shuttle tanks and I think it was MBC they were showing the You know, of course, you are going to have a big explosion of here an accident. Mind you they rigged that they put explosives on it, but that Pinto was very dangerous. And then Ralph Nader's career started up and can probably remember, with the unsafe at any speed, the Corvair. Exactly a very cool car but not safe. Tragically, my grandmother died in a Corvair although the absence of a motor in the front of the car didn't have anything to do with it. It will my Yeah, yeah, well, and then Porsche Volkswagens will were in those back in the day, right, the little bugs, and again, nothing upfront, and then back in the 50s. And earlier, the engine, if you were in a head-on that engine would come into the passenger compartment, which is not a fun thing to think about. You know, we've come a long way. And one of the things that have been done electric cars Bocsh has a device and many of them are starting to use forward hasn't been all of their electric cars. I think Audi is using that now and others. And what happens is if you're in a crash, one of the first things that happen just like the airbags, you know, the airbags go off with the sensor. It has an explosive in the back, that severs the power connections. So at least you're not going to get electrocuted and those first responders are not going to get electrocuted. But I think this is a major design flaw in Tesla as I said, I thought that sort of thing since I wasn't involved in emergency medicine you should not have a door that you can't grab that handle and yank and pull to get someone out from inside if there's a fire Craig.   Don't tell me something here is there and is there an argument to be made that at some point, Apple Computer winds up merging with Tesla? You know I don't think I've really heard any good arguments for that. But they could. Apple basically killed it, autumn autonomous car project. So they're almost certainly looking for someone to partner with. And they've got their own maps and everything else now. So, Erica, I wouldn't put it beyond the two of them to live a little bit of a merger. But I think that, of course, the CEO of Tesla is a little headstrong. I'm not sure. How about the might take that he is a hot ticket, isn't he? He is, absolutely! Our tech guru joins us every Wednesday at 730. Thank you so much. We will talk to you next Wednesday.

Reunions are for the most part full of great surprises, and in some occasions, perhaps, what we were not expecting at all. The excitement of reconnecting with an old vehicle that had all the charisma and charm from the early years of ownership, later to be nonchalantly sold off, can create an extraordinary amount of sentiment and is probably one of the sweetest things that can happen in life when it suddenly and magically reappears back in to our life's journey. Tony Dow of the classic hit TV series ‘Leave it to Beaver,’ reconnected in 2016 with his old love affair, a Corvair Spyder, after over 50 years. With an incredible amount of attention to detail during the restoration, Ken Vela of WIKD Kustoms, gave the Spyder renewed mechanical vigor and restoration for a new life and it's happy return to Tony Dow. Join us for one of the most unique vehicle reunions, bringing joy and happiness while cruising in the wind, reminiscing those early years.

Tony Barthel and Jim Cherry discuss the infamous Chevrolet Corvair - one of the most storied cars in history and everybody's got a Corvair story. But what ultimately killed the Corvair and was it a flop or fantastic? We discuss that this week on the Curbside. 

Corvair conversions continue to find favor with experimental aircraft builders, and a growing number of Sonex pilots are now flying behind Corvair power plants. We speak with a builder about his decision making process that led him to an alternate engine, and hear about his experience building and flying behind a Corvair engine.

Avsnitt 65. Pang bom. Det blir matsnack. Hyllar kort sagt världens bästa burgare. Och den finns i Sverige. Sedan ställer vi oss den eviga frågan om storleken har betydelse? Självklart säger vi och går ner på djupet varför amerikanska bilar är så mycket större och bättre. Nåja, Ponkan försöker hylla några mindre bilar som Pacer och Corvair innan Krick fortsätter slakten på Nash. Sen pratar vi teckningstävling och Ponkan analyserar fram en bilprofil baserat på Kricks sparade Blocket-annonser. Om förra veckan var spretigt så är detta nästa nivå. Häng med!

In late 1959, Chevrolet debuted the Corvair, a family of cars with a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. It was the most unconventional car to ever come out of Detroit. It was also, according to Ralph Nadar, the most dangerous. The ensuing battle between Nadar and GM is now firmly in the rearview mirror and on this episode, we discuss the controversy with GM Engineer and Corvair enthusiast Pete Koehler.

« L’ancien GM », celui d’avant la retentissante faillite de 2009, avait quelques tares génétiques. L’une d’elles consistait à transformer une bonne idée en fiasco. La liste est longue : Corvair, Vega, Fiero, Aztek… Sans oublier l’EV-1, première voiture électrique de GM, dont l’étrange destin fit l’objet d’un documentaire (Who Killed The Electric Car). Première voiture américaine hybride rechargeable commercialisée à grande échelle, la Volt aurait peut-être pu sauver GM mais on ne réécrit pas l’Histoire. Cet article Essai routier : Chevrolet Volt 2017 (podcast 35) est apparu en premier sur Philippe Laguë.

Ah, the glorious world of late 1980's horror. In Warlock, a witch hunter doing battle with the titular Warlock in colonial America follows his adversary forward in time to the 1980's in order to stop him from destroying the world. Dragged into the middle of this mess is our protagonist, played by Lori Singer, who joins Redfearn the Witch Hunter on his quest to save the world from evil paganism - all while depending on a daily driver that's unsafe at any speed. Yep, our hero drives a Corvair. James makes Sid pull double duty as host AND guest, as Sid has previously owned two Corvairs and can talk about the car from first hand experience. Was this movie really bad? Was it good? What factors sabotaged it from being great? And was the Corvair all that bad?! Was it actually unsafe at any speed or was Ralph Nader just an idiot? (Actually you probably know the answer to that one). Subscribe to Reels and Wheels on iTunes or Stitcher and leave us some feedback! Follow @ReelsandWheels, @SidBridgeComedy and @S2KJames!

Of course, for lucky number episode #13 of the Crank Journal podcast, there are issues... this wouldn't be Crank Journal if everything went smoothly, now would it? Michael's computer choked almost an hour in, but somehow, he patched it all back together, and his guest, Craig Fitzgerald from BestRide and Car Talk, didn't seem to mind. After Michael tried to figure out how he got someone from Car Talk on the show, Craig talked about how much fun it has been working for Ray and the late Tom Magliozzi, about working in New England automotive media, and about his Corvair project car. Michael, true to form, absolutely insists on talking about an Eagle Premier he found for sale, and as always, the Obscure Cars for Sale Facebook group.

(07-15-2016) - Veteran actor Tony Dow ("Wally Cleaver" from "Leave it to Beaver") on how he was reunited with his high school car, a Corvair, 51 years later, after the man that bought it from him passes away.

Corvair was the most controversial Chevy since the "Copper-Cooled" model of 1923. Of course, neither was supposed to stir up trouble. So what made the Corvair so controversial?
