Hoy en La Gran Travesía recordamos a un músico como Marc Bolan, líder de los T Rex, una de las formaciones cruciales de principios de los 70 dentro del glam rock, ya que tal día como hoy, un 16 de septiembre de 1977 fallecía en un accidente de tráfico en Londres. También recuperamos algunos pequeños clásicos del underground como Eddie And The Hot Rods, Joan Jett, The Cramps, Cheap Trick, Mc5, Ian Dury and The Blockheads, Patti Smith y muchos más. ▶️ Y ya sabéis, si os gusta el programa y os apetece, podéis apoyarnos y colaborar con nosotros por el simple precio de una cerveza al mes, desde el botón azul de iVoox, y así, además podéis acceder a todo el archivo histórico exclusivo.

282 mph sounds like a headline until you hear what it feels like from inside the cockpit. We sit down with NHRA icon Angelle Sampey, a three-time Pro Stock Motorcycle world champion, to trace the path from a six-year-old on a Suzuki dirt bike to a driver chasing the next mountain: Top Fuel. Along the way, she explains why one moment at an NHRA race can erase every other plan and how a racing dream can coexist with a serious career off the track as a registered nurse.Angelle breaks down what a Pro Stock Motorcycle really is (hint: “stock” is mostly a myth), why 400 horsepower on two wheels changes everything, and what you risk when there's no roll cage and nothing holding you on. Then we get into the big transition: moving into an A/Fuel dragster under a closed canopy, strapped down with restraints, relying on radio communication, and learning the difference between comfort and true safety at speed. Her explanation of tire shake versus tire spin is as vivid as it is useful, and it shows how drag racing is won or lost in fractions of a second.We also dig into the people who make the results possible: crew chiefs, crew members, and sponsors, plus what recognition like top-driver honors and a Motorsports Hall of Fame induction means when you've lived the team side of the sport. After that, we pivot to automotive news with real shopper impact: U.S. new vehicle inventory levels, why hybrids are moving faster than EVs, and how brands like Cadillac and Toyota are facing awkward timing gaps and delays as they balance gasoline, hybrid, and electric strategies.Subscribe for more automotive talk, share this with a racing fan, and leave us a review with your biggest takeaway from Angelle's story.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!---- ----- Want more In Wheel Time car talk any time?

A used car can be “clean” on the outside and still be expensive on the inside. We sit down with Patrick Olsen, editor-in-chief at Carfax, to talk about what a Carfax report really does for buyers and sellers, how “show me the Carfax” became part of the culture, and why VIN-based history changed the way people negotiate, price, and trust a deal.We get practical about the stuff shoppers worry about: what counts as a real service record, why some maintenance never shows up, and how independent repair shops and owners can add documentation. Patrick also breaks down Carfax's newer tools, including history-based values and reliability predictions that estimate the likelihood of major repairs over the next few years. If you're comparing two similar used cars, we explain how the paper trail and the data can separate a smart buy from a regret.Then we shift gears with Jeff's Motor Minute full of rapid-fire car facts, followed by Don's review of the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover PHEV. We cover the sleek, conservative design, the plug-in hybrid setup, real-world MPG, and why the air suspension ride stands out in the luxury SUV class. We also put pricing against key competitors like the Lexus TX PHEV, BMW X5 PHEV, and Mercedes GLE PHEV.If you want more confident used car shopping tips and honest vehicle reviews, subscribe, share this with a friend who's car hunting, and leave us a review so more drivers can find the show.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

A Dakar-designed Ford Raptor T1 showing up on American dirt isn't just a cool headline, it's a real test of two racing worlds colliding. We talk with Matt Martelli, CEO of Unlimited Off-Road Racing, about why Ford chose the Reno to Vegas run for the Raptor T1's American debut and what makes this 550-mile, mostly graded-road course different from punishing US staples like Baja or the Mint 400. If you've ever wondered what “rally raid” actually means, this breakdown makes the differences crystal clear.We also get into the wild engineering gap between restricted race formats and true “unlimited” desert trucks. Think 1,000-plus horsepower, 40-inch tires, and suspension travel measured in feet. Matt explains why suspension is the magic trick that lets these machines skim across whoops at speeds that sound impossible, plus how four-wheel drive durability has evolved in off-road racing over the last decade.Then we shift gears into the stuff every driver feels: a Ford worker fired over a $1.95 cookie (with receipts), and why drivers are ditching premium fuel as prices climb. We unpack octane, knock sensors, and how modern ECUs protect engines, along with when premium is actually worth paying for.

The Strange Motion Way is back with Episode 126 — and this week, SKRATCH is in the house!If you've been around hot rods and custom cars for any length of time, chances are you know the name Skratch.From laying down killer pinstripes to fabricating one-of-a-kind hot rods, Skratch has built a career by doing things his own way. His work has appeared on hot rods, customs, motorcycles and more, while his personality and talent have also taken him onto shows including Overhaulin'. This week, Tim and Carrie sit down with Skratch to talk about the REAL stories behind the career — getting started in the hot rod world, pinstriping, fabrication, television, crazy builds, the people he's met along the way and what keeps him creating after all these years.And with Skratch behind the microphone, you KNOW there are going to be some stories.
Electric cars finishing first and second in America's first auto race sounds like a headline from 2026, not 1896. We kick things off with a fast run through automotive history that's packed with proof points: Peugeot showing early gasoline reliability with a 1,271-mile endurance run, a Rhode Island horse track hosting the first US auto race in front of a huge crowd, and Volkswagen returning to German control after WWII. We even hit a sobering milestone from 1897: the first recorded DUI arrest after a cab crashed into a building. From there, we take a detour into real-world nostalgia with the Chevrolet Vega going on sale in 1970. We talk ownership memories, why some people still defend the Vega, and how rare trims like the Cosworth Vega look a lot different when you view them through today's collector lens. It's a reminder that “good” and “bad” cars are often more complicated than their reputations. Then we get hands-on with a full 2026 Toyota C-HR EV review. This all-electric compact SUV returns as a second-generation model with standard all-wheel drive, dual electric motors, 338 horsepower, and a 0 to 60 time of 4.9 seconds. We break down design, interior tech like dual phone charging pads, ride and handling, range expectations, pricing from about $39,000 to $43,429 as tested, and key competitors like the Subaru Uncharted, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Kia Niro Electric. If you're shopping for an affordable electric SUV or deciding between EVs and hybrids, this one gives you real numbers and honest impressions. Subscribe for more car reviews and automotive history, share this with a friend who loves EVs or vintage trivia, and leave us a review. What's the bigger surprise to you: EVs winning in 1896 or a Toyota compact EV doing 0 to 60 in 4.9?Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Adventure vehicles are one of the most misunderstood corners of the car market, because most of us buy them for the trips we imagine, not the ones we actually take. We sit down with John Vincent from U.S. News and World Report to unpack the 2026 Best Adventure Vehicle Awards and the real criteria behind the picks, from approach and departure angles to the stuff that makes a vehicle easy to live with on a random Tuesday. We move through the off-road SUV winners across multiple size classes, including the Ford Bronco Sport, Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco, and the Nissan Armada Pro-4X, plus the surprisingly controversial idea of a “trailhead-capable” hybrid like the Toyota RAV4 Woodland. Then we step up to luxury and electric off-roaders, where the Land Rover Defender's traction tech makes a strong case, and the Rivian R1S wins big by balancing true capability with everyday comfort even when competitors shine on raw specs. Truck fans get plenty to argue about too: Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro's off-road-focused seating tech, Ford F-150's FX4, Tremor, and Raptor flavors, and why the Rivian R1T stands out for smart storage, usable range, and over-the-air updates that can fix infotainment headaches without a dealer visit. We also run through camping-friendly winners like the Hyundai Tucson, GMC Acadia, Toyota Grand Highlander, GMC Yukon XL, and the electric Hyundai Ioniq 9, then wrap with quick hits from the racing calendar, automotive history, and a snapshot of Tesla's share of new EV registrations as the overall EV market cools.

A timber-frame “cathedral” packed with Mopar muscle cars and vintage neon sounds like a dream, but it's real and it's sitting just outside Brookshire, Texas. We sit down with John Hovis, the creator of the Hemi Hideout, to hear how a lifelong love of late-60s and early-70s Dodge and Plymouth performance turned into a 21,700 square foot car culture landmark that stops visitors in their tracks. We talk details that true gearheads care about: why he chased the 1968 to 1971 sweet spot, what it means to build a themed collection heavy on 440 Six Pack and Hemi legends, and why his original Superbird is such a standout. John also explains how the Hemi Hideout works day to day with tours, a volunteer “staff,” and a refreshingly straightforward charity model that keeps the place rooted in community instead of turning into a full-time business. Then we shift into quick, fun car talk: Jeff shares a wild Burt Reynolds Pontiac Trans Am story, and Don reviews the 2026 Toyota C-HR EV with the numbers that matter, including 338 horsepower, all-wheel drive, real-world range thoughts, and how it stacks up on price versus its Subaru twin and other electric SUV competitors. If you love automotive history, car collecting, and honest new car reviews, you'll feel right at home.

A $700,000 Audi supercar with three electric motors should sound like a clean break from the past. Instead, the headline is the part Audi refuses to delete: a big, loud V8 sitting at the center of the Nuvolari's nearly 1,000-horsepower hybrid setup. We talk through what that says about the luxury performance market, why “all-electric” still isn't the default at the very top, and how hybrids are increasingly being used to add torque and smoothness without sacrificing the thrill that enthusiasts pay for.From there we shift to the practical side of hybrid cars, because the tech isn't just for exotic machines. We share why hybrids keep converting skeptics, how seamless engine-to-battery transitions change the driving experience, and what real efficiency looks like when the system is tuned correctly. Don also gives a full review of the 2026 Toyota Crown Signia, a wagon-like SUV with a smart interior, a standout drivetrain, impressive real-world MPG, and pricing that puts it in the crosshairs of mainstream crossovers and near-luxury choices.We also dig into Ford recalls and quality control, including Jim Farley's comments on what went wrong during the F-Series Super Duty launch and the internal leadership changes meant to stop problems before they hit customers. Jeff's Motor Minute adds a timely reminder about school zones and a hot take on racing broadcast drama, then we wrap with a bigger question: will automakers finally bring back a true compact pickup truck, or are regulations and market habits keeping that niche stuck in the past?Subscribe for more automotive news, honest car reviews, and real-world takes, then share this with a friend who argues about hybrids.

6,300 miles in about 11 days sounds unrealistic until you meet Andy and Mercedes Lillienthal, the kind of rally couple who treats the map like a promise. They're heading back to the Alcan 5000, one of the most iconic endurance road rallies in North America, and the goal is not raw speed. It's precision: a time-speed-distance rally where you chase a master schedule, hit invisible checkpoints on time, and adapt when real life shows up in the lane next to you. We talk through what makes this year's Alcan 5000 so intense, including long stretches of dirt and gravel, remote northern routes pushing toward the Arctic Circle and the Arctic Ocean, and the very real possibility that ferries and water crossings can change the plan overnight. Andy explains how the scoring works, why “it is not a race” matters for safety, and how their team stays competitive while driving on public roads. Then we get nerdy in the best way with a walkaround of their 2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness setup: all-terrain tires, upgraded lights, skid plates, modest lift, recovery gear, extra fuel, and a roof-mounted Starlink system powered from the car so they can post updates without waiting until 2 a.m. Back in the studio, we also hit Jeff's racing calendar, Mike's “This Week In Auto History,” and a headline about Chrysler's new minivan ad campaign that you have to hear to believe.

A castle with a drawbridge and moat sits just outside the Houston area, and that is only the start of our Saturday lineup. We share a set of easy driving destinations that make a full day feel bigger than the miles, including Belleville's Newman's Castle, the living-history feel of San Felipe de Austin, and the water-and-wildlife mix you get near the Trinity River at Fort Anahuac. If you have been searching for near-Houston day trips, Texas history sites, or simple weekend road trips that do not burn the whole day in traffic, these stops are built for real schedules. Then we switch gears into something every homeowner with a concrete slab eventually wonders about: garage floor coatings. We talk through epoxy, polyurethane, polyurea, polyaspartic, and polycuramine, plus what actually drives cost and results. The honest theme is prep, prep, prep, because cracks, moisture, etching, and cure time matter more than the label on the can. If you want a durable garage floor that does not peel, bubble, or stick to your tires, this section will save you time and frustration. From there, we get back behind the wheel with a detailed 2026 Range Rover Sport Dynamic SE plug-in hybrid review, including the sleek exterior, deployable door handles, and a screen-heavy interior that changes how you interact with basic controls. We also hit a rapid-fire “this week in automotive history,” from the early “drunkometer” to Lexus arriving in America, before closing with a 2026 Toyota Crown Signia review that makes a strong case for hybrid efficiency, smart design, and everyday comfort.

A steering spindle installed wrong. Shock reservoirs that can detach. A rear spoiler that can fall off at speed. We start with the kind of recall roundup that makes you double-check your own VIN, then we swing hard into pure car-nerd fun: guessing what vehicles actually sold for on Hemmings online auctions and arguing about whether the prices make any sense in today's market. The auction game takes us from a 1969 Chevy Camaro pace car replica to a clean 1965 Mustang convertible, then into a surprising low-mile 1999 Mustang GT 35th Anniversary convertible that sells for way less than you'd think. We also hit big nostalgia with a 1973 Cadillac Eldorado Indy pace car replica, debate value on a 1965 Pontiac Le Mans convertible with tri-power, and react to eyebrow-raising results on an 81 Toyota Land Cruiser convertible, a 1969 Mercury Cougar, and a 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class with 151,000 miles that sells for “wait, really?” money. Then Mike brings the practical detail with his 2026 Range Rover Sport Dynamic SE plug-in hybrid review, including 454 horsepower, towing capability, luxury features, and the big question: can an all-screen interior with no knobs or buttons actually be livable every day? We wrap with Jeff's cruise-in and events calendar plus automotive news on Mitsubishi confirming the Pajero's return, Hyundai's truck ambitions, EV emergency door handle recalls, and a dealership experimenting with drone delivery for auto parts.

An 80s and 90s “dream garage” hits different when it's built for the era you actually grew up in. We sit down with Denny Moody, owner and curator of the Ultimate 80s Garage in Fulshear, Texas, to talk about what it takes to create a space that feels like a time capsule: the cars, the memorabilia, and the little details that instantly spark stories. His point is simple but powerful: nostalgia is fun, but community is the real payoff when you open the garage doors and invite people in. We also get into Retrofest West, Denny's annual celebration of 80s and 90s car culture hosted right at his property. We cover what to expect from a cruise-in style show, why the era deserves its own spotlight, and how to register so you can be part of the limited-capacity lineup. If you've been looking for an 80s and 90s car show near Houston that feels personal instead of competitive, this one should be on your calendar. Then we switch gears into a garage upgrade many of us debate every year: garage floor coatings. We break down epoxy vs polyurethane vs polyurea vs polyaspartic, what the national price range looks like, and why prep work and cure time matter more than the label on the can. To round out the drive life, we share Texas driving destinations near Houston, including Newman's Castle, San Felipe de Austin, Big Thicket, San Jacinto, and more. Subscribe, share this with a fellow car person, and leave a review with your best 80s or 90s car memory.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

A movie trailer is one thing, but a movie promotion inside your car's dashboard hits differently. We react to BMW's Spider-Man screen takeover and the owner backlash, then zoom out to the real question every driver is about to face: as connected cars become software platforms, who controls the cabin, and how much marketing will we be asked to tolerate after we've already paid for the vehicle?From there, we dig into the next wave of automotive technology, including AI assistants in cars. GM is rolling out Google Gemini, Volkswagen is bringing ChatGPT into voice features, Ford is building toward an in-vehicle assistant, and BMW is leaning into Amazon AI with commerce in mind. We talk about what this could mean for convenience, distraction, personalization, privacy, and the creeping pressure to turn vehicle features into recurring revenue.We also hit the week's biggest auto news: Lincoln's slow-but-real product plans, China's auto market slump and the export surge that's reshaping global competition, and Genesis aiming for the ultra-luxury EV conversation with its Neolun concept ambitions. Then we get hands-on with the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker EV review, covering trims, interior tech, regenerative braking feel, charging compatibility surprises, towing rating, pricing, and how it stacks up against rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Chevy Blazer EV.If you like smart car talk with real opinions and useful details, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a quick review so more drivers can find us.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

One minute you're laughing at our auction guesses, and the next you're doing a double-take because a V12 Aston Martin sold for less than you'd expect from a “dream car” badge. We kick things off with fast, useful recall talk that hits the stuff drivers care about most: visibility, signals, and safety systems. If you own a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y, a Rivian R1S or R1T, or you pay attention to Toyota reliability headlines, you'll want to hear what's on the list and why it matters.Then we jump into our “what the auction car sold for” game, pulling real results and reacting like real car people do. A classic 1966 Chevelle, a low-mile 2013 Dodge Challenger with a Hemi and a six-speed, a 2000 Aston Martin DB7 V12 convertible, and more all hit the block with prices that tell a bigger story about classic car values, modern muscle demand, and how originality plus maintenance costs can change everything.We also bring it back to the garage with a practical WD-40 segment: where it genuinely helps, how to use it on chrome and sticky residue, how it can save a cold-weather door seal, and where it absolutely does not belong. To round it out, Mike shares Texas driving destinations that work for day trips from Houston and easy weekends, including Beaumont, Nacogdoches, Lake Jackson, Rosenberg, Surfside Beach, and College Station.Subscribe for more car talk, share this with a friend who loves auctions and road trips, and leave a review telling us which vehicle you'd actually bid on.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

A car can fail in the market and still become unforgettable, and a “weird” idea can quietly invent the future. We start with a fast tour through automotive history that connects more dots than you'd expect: the 1979 AMC Eagle as an early crossover and all-wheel drive concept, Yellow Cab's origins in Chicago and how that taxi story eventually links to Hertz, the 1959 Mini's small-car genius, the Ford Edsel's infamous launch, and the founding of Toyota Motor Company, complete with the naming decision that leaned on luck and branding. Then we switch from past to present with realistic road trip planning and day tripping near Houston, Texas. We share easy family weekend drives to Beaumont and the Spindletop Gladys City Boomtown Museum, historic Nacogdoches with a planetarium option, Sea Center Texas in Lake Jackson with a free aquarium and touch pool, plus closer stops like Rosenberg and a simpler beach day at Surfside. If you're hunting for “things to do near Houston” or “Texas weekend trip ideas,” these are high-reward, low-stress picks. To close, we get into the details that shoppers and owners care about: our 2026 Mazda CX-5 All-Wheel Drive review, including design updates, cabin feel, real-world MPG, pricing, and how it stacks up against compact SUV rivals like the Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, and Toyota RAV4. Jeff also runs through WD-40 uses for car care, from chrome and hinges to sticky messes, with clear warnings about where it does not belong.

Your insurance bill can jump overnight, and it's not always because you did anything different. We sit down with Chip Lupo from WalletHub to unpack what's behind today's rising car insurance and homeowners insurance rates and what you can actually do to lower your premium without cutting the wrong corners.We get specific about the moves that matter: when bundling home and auto insurance really saves money, why you still need to compare coverage line by line, and how shopping at least three quotes keeps you from overpaying out of habit. We also dig into the factors insurers use to price you, including your state rules, your zip code, traffic density, theft risk, uninsured drivers, and even higher-speed roads that raise accident severity in places like Texas.Then we talk practical policy choices: raising your deductible, deciding whether collision coverage still makes sense on an older paid-off car, and why leases and loans can limit how much you can adjust. Chip also explains how telematics and phone-based monitoring can lead to discounts, plus the uncomfortable truth that credit score can influence insurance rates in many markets.After the interview, we roll into Jeff's racing calendar, Marrs' This Week In Auto History, and a news update including US-Canada tariff drama and an NHTSA probe into nearly 1 million GM trucks and SUVs over L87 engine failure concerns.

Rodney Rodriguez isn't just talking about racing today, he's about to go do it. We catch up with the Dirty Air host and longtime circle track voice as he heads to Edna, Texas to climb into a steel-bodied Nova for a special night at Texana Raceway Park. Between the heat, the pressure of driving a proven winner, and the challenge of running on dirt with limited seat time, it's a perfect snapshot of what grassroots motorsports really feels like.From there, we get into the details that only racers and track folks obsess over: why dirt driving is the opposite of asphalt finesse, how tracks water and prep all week to keep moisture under the surface, and what happens when the groove dries out and dust becomes the enemy. Rodney also shares what he's seeing across South Texas racing, including how fragile some schedules can be and why promoters and racers have to work together if they want local tracks to survive rising costs.We also touch NASCAR, including what's improving, what still turns fans off, and how new driver personalities can change the whole vibe of the sport. Jeff's Motor Minute brings a big headline with IndyCar racing in Washington, D.C., and then we wrap with a full review of the redesigned 2026 Mazda CX-5: sharp styling, a much better cabin, solid real-world mpg, and an infotainment system that still makes simple tasks harder than they should be.

A cracked wheel, a questionable seat belt anchor, and a high voltage battery risk are not the kind of surprises any driver wants, so we open with the latest vehicle recalls and talk through what they mean in plain language for real owners. If you track EV trucks like the Silverado EV and Sierra EV or you just want to stay ahead of safety issues, this recall roundup is a quick way to know what to watch for and what questions to ask your dealer or service department. Then we shift gears into one of our favorite parts of the show: the auction results guessing game. We react to what cars actually sold for, including a beautifully restored 1963 Corvette convertible, a 1969 Corvette, a 2021 Shelby Mustang that climbs close to six figures, and a lineup of classics and curiosities like an early Plymouth Barracuda, a bench seat 1969 El Camino, a straight six 1970 Chevy C K truck, a 1959 Ford Ranchero, and a 1954 GMC 100. It is part entertainment, part real world collector car market reality check, and it always sparks strong opinions about value. We also bring you a quick racing calendar update, then step into this week in auto history with the innovations and turning points that shaped modern driving, from Ford's Contour and Mercury Mystique production plans to early Duesenberg experimentation and the electric starter era that changed everything for mechanics and everyday drivers. We wrap with automotive news headlines, including a lawsuit tied to a Tesla Model Y test drive allegedly set to “insane mode,” plus an update we love on the Fair Lane estate restoration in Dearborn and its upcoming reopening for immersive tours.

Chevrolet in China went from unstoppable to almost invisible, and that single data point opens a much bigger question: how quickly can a global market rewrite the rules for an American brand? We dig into the stunning sales drop that has Chevy reportedly ending sales there after two decades, what GM's next move signals, and why EV demand and local competition can turn “iconic” into “irrelevant” in a hurry.Before the headlines, we get real about the stuff that actually happens on the road and in the studio. There's the modern curse of updates and glitches, but also the bigger menace: drivers glued to their phones at green lights, the horn you want to use, and the horn you're afraid to use. We even touch the uneasy thought that today's connected cars and voice systems might be picking up more of our private car-talk vocabulary than we'd like.Then we jump into a full 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness review with the details shoppers care about: the new design and bigger-window visibility, the tech-forward interior with large displays, wireless charging, and premium audio, plus the 2.4-liter turbo boxer power and a CVT that can mimic an eight-speed. We talk towing, mpg from real driving, strong lane keeping assist, and where the Outback's pricing lands against rivals like the Blazer, Passport, and Mazda CX-70.If you like smart car talk with zero fluff, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more drivers can find us.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Summer can disappear overnight when school starts, but we're not letting that happen without a fight. We kick things off with “Marrs Driving Destinations” and lay out practical, family-friendly day trips around the Houston metro that still feel like a real getaway. Think Armand Bayou Nature Center in Pasadena for trails and wildlife, Space Center Houston in Clear Lake for interactive exhibits and tram tours, the Baytown wetlands for a geo-tour style adventure, plus Lake Conroe for boating even if you don't own a boat, and Columbus, Texas for a small-town day that doesn't turn into an all-day drive. Then we pivot hard into car culture and the rumor that's guaranteed to spark arguments: a four-door Mustang. We walk through what's being reported about a possible “Mach 4,” the target price, the 0–60 claims, the expected 2028–2029 window, and why hybrid powertrain chatter (even a hybrid V8 mention) changes the conversation. With Camaro and Charger competition in the background, it's a real look at where American performance cars might be headed next. To close, we bring the hands-on reviews: Don's drive of the 2026 Lexus LX 700H luxury hybrid SUV, including the air suspension ride, interior highlights, towing capability, mpg reality, and the one design choice we just can't ignore. Mike follows with the much-awaited 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness, covering the new look, turbo boxer power, tech and comfort features, pricing, and why Subaru's improvements feel real on the road.

The fastest way to spark a car argument is to ask one simple question: which feature would you delete forever. We start with the everyday stuff that actually changes ownership costs and stress, like fuel economy habits, using cruise control as a “steady throttle,” and how adaptive cruise can quietly help you avoid the constant speed swings that burn gas. From there, we get into the modern tech that drivers love to hate, including hard to read steering wheel controls, lane keeping assist that feels intrusive, and start stop systems that make you hit the same button every single time you start the car.We also attempt to bring in Chip Lupo from WalletHub to talk about car insurance rising, but real life internet problems get in the way, and the conversation turns into a very relatable look at how tech fails at the worst moments. That sets the stage for our main deep dive: Don's full review of the 2026 Lexus LX 700H. We break down pricing, trims, the 3.4 liter twin turbo V6 hybrid powertrain, towing capability, real world MPG, interior comfort, and why air ride suspension can make a huge SUV feel unexpectedly smooth. And yes, we talk about the styling, especially that grille.After the review, Jeff runs through cruise in and car meet events around Texas, then we hit the week's automotive news: tire shipment forecasts, a Polestar retailer lawsuit tied to a sales ban over connected vehicle technology, California EV rebates aimed at first time EV buyers, and a blunt take on EV charging reliability.

A car ad says $299 a month, the salesperson says “trust me,” and somehow you're staring at a payment that makes no sense. We bring in Dom Genova, a former Chrysler factory rep who built his own dealership by refusing to play the usual sales games, to explain what really happens between the headline number and the contract you sign.Dom lays out a simple idea that feels almost radical in the modern showroom: “real price and real payment.” We talk through why so many buyers hate buying cars, how fine print can quietly change the meaning of an offer, and why rebate language like “all rebates apply” often doesn't mean what shoppers think it means. We also dig into the tactics and psychology dealers use to control the conversation, including how confusing worksheets and payment-focused negotiation can hide the true cost. Along the way, Dom shares stories from inside the business and the mindset that helped his stores win repeat customers across generations.Then we pivot to pure car culture: Jeff breaks down the latest report on a possible four-door Ford Mustang, potentially branded Mach 4, with big claims on price, performance, and even hybrid powertrain rumors. Finally, Marrs shares summer driving destinations near Houston, from Armand Bayou Nature Center to Space Center Houston, plus easy day trips that keep the “still on vacation” feeling alive.If you want smarter car buying tips, clearer dealership negotiation advice, and the latest automotive news with a little humor, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review.

Recalls, real prices, and a brutally honest look at what a modern pickup costs when you spec it like a luxury car. We start by sorting through this week's automotive recalls, including Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator updates, a Mustang Mach E trim concern, F-150 and Super Duty camera issues, a Genesis G80 fix, and a Mercedes-Benz recall situation big enough to make you want to open SaferCar.gov right now and check your VIN.Then we pivot to the fun part: auction results. We play “guess the sale price” using Hemmings listings and talk through what the numbers might be telling us about the collector market. From a sharp 1960 Ford Country Squire wagon to a C6 Corvette, a modified Mustang, a surprisingly affordable 1991 Cadillac Eldorado, and a Pontiac wagon that sells for far more than expected, it's a fast tour of how originality, condition, and rarity move the needle.The highlight is our 2026 Ram 1500 Longhorn Crew Cab 4x4 review. We break down interior comfort and tech like massaging seats, Uconnect 5, surround-view cameras, premium audio, and air suspension, then dig into the 3.0L twin-turbo Hurricane HO inline-six with 540 hp and 521 lb-ft of torque. We also talk real-world fuel economy expectations, towing and payload numbers, and the pricing reality when a “work truck” becomes an $80K-plus full-size pickup.

Richard Tomlin shows up with the kind of racing story that makes you laugh first and then take notes: he ran Pikes Peak against teams with mind-blowing budgets, qualified into the “Hella Fast 15,” and still had his day complicated by a throwout bearing that was supposed to be the safe, new upgrade. We talk through what failed, how much time it cost, and why finishing still matters when the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is basically a stress test for every part you bolt to the car. If you love grassroots motorsports, hill climbs, and real-world problem solving, this one hits home. Then we shift from mountain racing to what keeps a high-performance shop moving in the Texas heat. Richard walks us through current builds and restorations, plus a preview of Wheels, Watches, and Whiskey near Bryan. From there, we get into practical summer automotive maintenance that can prevent overheating: cleaning the AC condenser and radiator stack, checking coolant and hoses, and the classic emergency move of turning the heater on full blast to buy yourself time to get off the road safely. It's unglamorous advice, but it's the kind that saves engines. Jeff brings the car culture debate with a rumored four-door Camaro and what GM might be planning in the performance sedan space, including design cues, tech choices, and potential powertrains.

A four-door Camaro sounds like a joke until you look at the space it could fill. We kick things off by unpacking the latest reports and AI-style renderings that imagine Chevrolet bringing the Camaro name back as a performance fastback sedan. We talk through why it would be a massive break from Camaro tradition, and why GM might still do it if they want a true halo car that sits beneath the Corvette and doesn't step entirely on Cadillac's toes. Then we get into the details that matter to car people: possible rear-drive underpinnings, the engine menu that could range from a turbo four to a twin-turbo V6, and the spicy “what if” of Blackwing-level supercharged V8 power.Next, we shift from speculation to seat time with a detailed look at the 2026 Ram 1500 Longhorn Crew Cab 4x4. We run through the luxury-truck checklist (leather, real wood, massaging seats, big screens, premium audio) and the numbers that decide the purchase (Hurricane HO inline-six output, towing and payload, real-world MPG, and how an $86K as-tested sticker changes the conversation).We wrap with two palate cleansers: five camping destinations within two hours of Houston for one last summer escape, and a quick tour of auto history that connects early risk-taking to today's engineering. Finally, Don breaks down why the 2026 Lexus IS 350 F Sport still works as a daily sport sedan, with refreshed styling, better infotainment, and a proven naturally aspirated V6.

cross-country rally doesn't have to cost a supercar budget, and Doug Demore is proof. We sit down with the Long Haul Rally founder to talk about building a Corvette-focused coast-to-coast road trip from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to Monterey, California, with a cap of 100 cars and a plan that prioritizes safety and fun over racing.Doug breaks down what drivers actually want to know before committing: who's eligible (C1 through C8), how the route uses optional app-based checkpoints, and why those stops can act as both a “go see something cool” nudge and a real safety measure. We also dig into the unglamorous but critical stuff like run-flat tire realities, what happens when someone has a blowout, and how a chase vehicle with tools and spare wheel and tire setups can keep the group moving.Then we shift gears into practical ownership. Jeff's Motor Minute delivers a straightforward summer car maintenance checklist: fluids, tire pressure, belts, wipers, and service intervals that keep road trips from turning into tow-truck stories. Don also reviews the 2026 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Limited, including real-world fuel economy (47.7 mpg over 404 miles), interior usability, pricing, and how it stacks up as a commuter and college-ready hybrid sedan.Subscribe for more smart car talk, share this with a friend planning a road trip, and leave a review so more drivers can find us.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Your next car might not be chosen by you or even by the dealer, and that's just one of the wild threads we pull this week. We kick things off with a fast, practical run through key automotive recalls, including a massive RAM pickup recall tied to a seat belt anchor issue, plus Jeep wheel concerns, Land Rover rearview camera trouble, and a Ford Bronco fire-risk note. If you like staying ahead of safety issues, this is the kind of recap that can save real headaches.Then we have some fun with our sold car roundup guessing game, and it turns into an unexpected lesson in classic car values. We throw out guesses, compare notes with our regulars, and react in real time as everything from a 1964 Buick Wildcat convertible to a rare Volvo 1800 finds its number. The moment that really flips the table is the 2001 Aston Martin DB7 V12, because the badge says “big money,” but the final price says “welcome to the cost of ownership.”We also share our take on the 2026 Lexus IS350 F Sport, from the styling tweaks to the upgraded infotainment and why a naturally aspirated V6 still feels like the right kind of “proven” in a daily driver sports sedan. We wrap with quick hits on the racing calendar, this week in auto history, and headlines that shape the future of the auto industry: AI shopping agents, tariff-driven supply chain pressure, and new interest in emergency door egress rules.

Someone can steal a modern truck without “hotwiring” anything, and that reality changes what security needs to look like. We sit down with Ford Motor Company's Ian Grotenhuis to unpack Ford Secure, formally the Ford Security Package, and why Ford is betting on proactive protection instead of alerts that leave you powerless. If you've worried about F-150 theft in Texas or anywhere else, this conversation gets specific fast.We walk through what the package includes for eligible vehicles: theft alerts, access to a 24/7 365 call center, and the headline feature, vehicle start inhibit. Ian explains how it works through the Ford app, the cloud, and the vehicle's embedded software to disable the powertrain so a thief can't just drive away, even with access. We also dig into practical questions: what it costs after the included year, the one-time purchase option, which model years can use it, and why Ford adds protections like two-factor authentication around factory reset. Just as important, we ask about safety and learn why the system won't “brick” a vehicle while it's moving.Then we shift gears into the wider car world: Jeff shares news on the end of the Houston Autorama and what it means for local car culture, plus a quick note on BMW cutting jobs amid changing global demand. Don also reviews the redesigned 2026 Toyota RAV4, including the GR Sport plug-in hybrid, with notes on styling, cabin layout, real-world efficiency, range expectations, and pricing versus key compact SUV competitors.If you like smart car talk that's actually usable, subscribe, share this with a friend who parks outside, and leave us a review with your take: would you pay monthly for built-in vehicle theft prevention?Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

The fastest way to ruin a DIY weekend is getting careless under a car, so we start with something unglamorous but essential: car jacks. We break down what makes a dependable floor jack, why lift points and pinch weld support matter, and how different designs fit different real garages. If you've ever fought low ground clearance or wondered whether a combo bottle jack and jack stand is worth it, we give you a clear way to think about safety features, lift range, lever effort, and portability.Then we jump into new-car territory with a close look at the redesigned 2026 Toyota RAV4, including the GR Sport plug-in hybrid all-wheel drive. We talk styling updates, interior usability, cargo practicality, and the real benefit of electric-only miles when you can charge at home or work. We also get honest about price, trims, and the competing plug-in hybrid SUVs shoppers cross-shop most.For a change of pace, our driving destinations segment turns Houston's flood control system into a surprisingly fun tour: Addicks Reservoir, Barker Reservoir, Buffalo Bayou, Terry Hershey Park, and a big-picture view from the San Jacinto Monument. We wrap with quick automotive history highlights and a second review, the 2026 Lexus IS 350 F Sport, including its updated infotainment and a naturally aspirated V6 that feels refreshingly proven.If you like practical car advice, honest reviews, and road stories with real-world value, subscribe, share this with a fellow car person, and leave us a quick rating or review.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Hybrids just pulled ahead of EVs in California, and the reasons are a lot more practical than political. We talk through the real-world mix of fuel prices, model availability, and day-to-day convenience that's pushing drivers toward gasoline-electric hybrids, even in the biggest EV market in the country. If you've been trying to decide between an EV, a plug-in hybrid, and a regular hybrid, we lay out the factors that actually change the experience: road trip frequency, charging access, safety and comfort when traveling at night, and what “range anxiety” looks like when you're on a tight schedule. We also get candid about the driving feel of modern powertrains. Turbo lag isn't just a nerdy complaint, it can be a real issue in city traffic when you need immediate response. We connect the dots between fuel economy regulations, the rise of small turbo engines, and why some vehicles feel seamless while others hesitate. Then we dig into the longer-term question: how all this complexity affects reliability, maintenance costs, and whether independent mechanics will want to work on these systems as the cars age. To round it out, we hit the week's automotive news: Japan earthquake disruptions that can ripple into US-bound trucks and SUVs, the Gordie Howe International Bridge opening amid toll drama, Waymo exploring changes to its robotaxi partnership with Uber, and a wild story about factory workers facing termination over snack bar payment kiosk glitches. If you like car talk that mixes buying advice, engineering reality, and the headlines shaping the industry, you'll feel right at home.

A road rally sounds like racing until you learn the best teams win by thinking, not speeding. We sit down with John Poulos from the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Texas Region to break down what road rally really means: precision driving on public roads, sharp navigation, and a driver-navigator team solving a moving puzzle while trying not to miss a turn.We dig into the different “flavors” of SCCA road rallies, from time speed distance formats to scavenger-hunt style gimmick rallies, then zoom in on a DFW shortest-distance map rally where you do not get a pre-set route. You get a map, a stack of waypoints, and limited planning time to build the most efficient loop, hit every location, and come back with the lowest mileage. We also cover practical details people always ask about: street-legal car requirements, classes based on experience (not car type), odometer calibration, time limits, and how modern GPS rally apps can verify waypoint visits without needing volunteers posted everywhere.After the rally talk, we pivot into two more listener-favorite segments: Jeff's Car Culture on choosing the right car jack for your garage (including low-profile and specialty options), and Mike Marrs' driving destinations that turn Houston's flood-control engineering into real places you can visit, like Addicks Reservoir, Barker Reservoir, Buffalo Bayou, Terry Hershey Park, and the San Jacinto Monument view.Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a new kind of car event, and leave a review so more drivers can find the show.

Missing gear indicators, brake assist concerns, camera failures, and the kind of recall notice nobody wants to hear: “park it outside.” We move fast through this week's car recalls across brands, then slow down just enough to talk about what they mean in real life, like how a simple display issue can become a safety problem, and why battery and motor overheating warnings deserve immediate attention.Next, we turn Hemmings auction results into a listener game and let the market humble us. We guess sold prices on a low-mile 1994 Corvette convertible, a 1969 Camaro Z28 tribute, a modified big-block 1966 Corvette, a first-year 1964 and a half Mustang, and even a 2000 Aston Martin DB7 that looks far more expensive than it sells for. Along the way, we unpack why classic car values swing so hard based on documentation, originality, tasteful upgrades, rust, and the simple question every buyer should ask: “Is it actually ready to drive?”We also share our cruise-in and events calendar around the Houston area, then hit the week's automotive news: a Waymo robotaxi incident that proves “driverless” can still mean “watched,” data showing online dealer service scheduling beats phone calls, AI changing how people research cars under $45,000, EV range anxiety fading, and tariffs and USMCA-style trade rules looming over North American manufacturing.Subscribe for weekly car talk, share this with a friend who loves auctions and auto news, and leave us a review with the one recall or sold price you want us to cover next.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

My guests today was the editor-in-chief of Guitar World magazine for over twenty-five years, Brad Tolinksi and regular contributor to Guitar World Chris Gill. Brad is the co-author of Eruption: Conversations with Eddie Van Halen, Light & Shade: Conversations with Jimmy Page and Play It Loud: An Epic History of the Style, Sound, and Revolution of the Electric Guitar. Chris Gill is also the co-author of Eruption: Conversations with Eddie Van Halen and contributed extensive guitar background and historical text to Eric Clapton's Six String Stories and Jeff Beck's Beck 01: Hot Rods and Rock & Roll. They are here today to talk about the new book BLOW BY BLOW; THE JEFF BECK STORY. Brad and Chris have interviewed Jeff Beck multiple times, including historic joint conversations with Jimmy Page and Billy Gibbons. Jeff Beck was widely regarded as one of the most innovative and influential guitarists of all time. Over the course of his 50+ year groundbreaking career, he earned eight Grammy Awards, was named by Rolling Stone as one of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,” and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice — first as a member of the Yardbirds and later as a solo artist. Known for his fearless musicianship and genre-defying style, Beck left an unforgettable mark on rock, blues, jazz, and instrumental music through his collaborations with some of the most celebrated artists in music. #jeffbeck #rockmusic #guitar #guitarist #jazzfusion #bluesmusic #popmusic #ledzepplin #yardbirds #cream #ericclaption #stevierayvaugh #jimmypage #johnnydepp #biography

You can learn a lot about a used car dealership by one question: do they care how you feel after you drive away? We sit down with Jerry Emmons of Emmons Autoplex in Webster, Texas to unpack what “doing good business” looks like in real life, from treating customers with respect to pricing vehicles aggressively enough to move them in a competitive market.We talk used car buying tips you can actually apply, including why they run a Carfax report before purchasing any inventory, what their average “car to market” time says about online pricing, and how they balance newer models with the occasional older, low-mileage gem. Jerry also shares what's selling right now, with Toyota demand leading the pack: Camry, Tacoma, and even the big Sequoia. And yes, we have some fun with a classic enthusiast dilemma: when it might be time to swap a manual-transmission Corvette for a comfortable Cadillac four-door without giving up the joy of driving.Then we shift into car culture and summer travel. Jeff breaks down the American Association of State Troopers best-looking cruiser contest, where Florida rallies late to top Michigan, and we explain what the trooper calendar supports. Mike wraps with Houston-area road trip ideas built for hot weather, from Blue Bell in Brenham to museums, warbirds, nature stops, and a scenic FM drive through the Sam Houston National Forest.

Houston heat doesn't wait for the calendar, so Marrs brings a list you can actually use when summer hits hard. We talk through easy, high payoff getaways that keep you cool without turning the day into a complicated production: a Blue Bell Creameries run to Brenham for peak summer ice cream, the Bryan Museum in Galveston when the beach feels like a skillet, and the Lone Star Flight Museum for air conditioned aviation history that still feels hands on. If you want a little nature with a plan, we hit Brazos Bend State Park with the timing and safety tips that matter, especially around the alligator viewing areas. Then we shift gears into pure car culture fun with Jeff and the American Association of State Troopers best looking cruiser contest. More than 360,000 votes decide the winner, the state pride is loud, and the ribbing is half the entertainment. Florida's black and tan Mustang takes the top spot again, Michigan's “blue goose” stays in the fight, and we like that the trooper calendar sales help fund educational scholarships for trooper dependents. We also do a quick lap through automotive history, from the Alaska Highway and Disneyland Autopia to the rise of parking meters, a wild Cadillac V16 concept, and the legend behind the Cannonball run. Finally, Don shares a detailed road test of the redesigned 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan, including the trim level driven, interior highlights, pricing, mpg, and the biggest warning label: transmission hesitation and turbo lag that can feel stressful in busy city traffic. If you're shopping compact SUVs, this one gives you plenty to think about.

A pedestrian crash is not just “bad luck” anymore, it is the predictable result of bigger vehicles, faster streets, and nonstop distraction. We sit down with Caroline Cash from the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) to unpack what state highway safety offices are seeing right now and what changes can actually reduce traffic deaths in the United States.We get into the uncomfortable design reality behind modern SUVs and light trucks: higher hoods and blunt front ends change where a pedestrian is struck and can make survivability worse than with a lower car profile. From there, we zoom out to how highway safety groups work with automakers on real-world solutions, including better consumer education for advanced safety features and practical ways to help drivers understand what their vehicles can and cannot do.Then we tackle distracted driving in its newest form: the giant touchscreen in the center console. If you are digging through multiple screens to change basic settings at highway speed, your eyes are off the road, full stop. We talk voice activation, interface design, and what safety-minded design should look like even as brands change how phones connect to the car.Finally, we go into autonomous driving and why “growing pains” headlines do not tell the full story. Caroline explains how Waymo and others approach safety investigations, how independent data can be more revealing than anecdotes, and why first responder training matters when an automated vehicle meets a real emergency scene. If you care about pedestrian safety, distracted driving, and the future of self-driving cars, this conversation is for you.

Solar cars are not a gimmick, they're a moving test lab that has to survive real traffic, real rules, and real weather. We sit down with Gail Lueck, event director for the American Solar Challenge, to unpack how collegiate teams build and campaign solar-powered cars under a 90-plus page regulations book, then prove themselves in scrutineering before they ever hit the road. If you've ever wondered what it takes to make sunlight turn into dependable transportation, this conversation makes it concrete fast. Gail walks us through the two-part structure: the Formula Sun Grand Prix endurance track event at Brainerd International Raceway, followed by the cross-country American Solar Challenge for the teams that qualify. This year's route is a car lover's dream and an engineer's puzzle, heading out of Minneapolis along the Great River Road, then cutting over to Route 66 in honor of the centennial, finishing in Amarillo. We talk single-occupant versus multi-occupant classes, why “most miles covered” matters more than top speed, how optional loops can change the leaderboard, and why practicality features like luggage space and cup holders show up in judging. Weather adds a wild card: smoke haze, rain, and cloud cover can force teams to slow down and rethink their entire energy model. After that, we shift gears with Jeff's Motor Minute on IndyCar's upcoming Freedom 250 Grand Prix on the streets of Washington, D.C., then Don shares a candid review of the redesigned 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan, from the sharp interior to the turbo lag that can feel risky when you need power now.

I got out of federal prison over 20 years ago. I was married. Had my wife leave me while I was in. I was a millionaire when I went in and came out broke. She took everything. I was fueled by rage, hurt, anger, and I made it my mission to prove everyone wrong who fucked me over. I was cut so deep, I was turned into a monster. I had to convert all that into reading books, learning, growing, and earning. Around 2018, I wasn't mad anymore at those people. I had worked my way into millions. Driving my favorite cars. Life got good. I had attracted a woman I love and who loves me. Added onto my family. The thing that fueled me wasn't there anymore once I got everything I wanted. I had to find a new source of fuel. Anger and rage are good motivators in the beginning, but it burns fast and hot. When I refueled, I had to do it from a place of abundance. I did it with my core values: Responsibility Integrity Service Excellence In order to do this, I had to shed the anger and rage and replace them with abundance and gratitude. If you want to keep rolling down the highway, you need a Rolls or Cadillac to do it smoothly. Hot Rods burn out. Slow and steady wins the race.
