What if your tires could quietly renew their own grip as you drive? We kick off with a clear look at regenerative tire technology, unpacking how smart materials might maintain tread depth, extend tire life, and improve braking and safety in wet and dry conditions. From early patents to bold prototypes, we highlight Goodyear's recharge concept and Michelin's expanding tread blocks, then get honest about the hurdles that stand between lab success and daily commuting: durability, heat cycles, debris, and cost.Then we trade lab coats for landscapes and plan a spring pilgrimage across Texas bluebonnets. We share practical, photo-friendly routes with timing tips shaped by weather and bloom cycles. The Willow City Loop near Fredericksburg brings sweeping hills and Indian paintbrush accents; Muleshoe Bend near Spicewood frames Lake Travis with easy trails and family space; Ennis maps more than 40 miles of viewing with a festival vibe; Brenham's barns and fences add texture to wide fields; and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin offers curated displays that respect the land. Think golden-hour light, weekday visits, and staying on public roads to protect fragile blooms.To round out the ride, we deliver a grounded review of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy AWD. The boxy, modern design turns heads, while a two-foot display span, separate climate controls, dual wireless charging, and comfortable seating for up to seven make daily life simple. The 1.6L turbo hybrid returns strong real-world mpg with calm, composed handling, and the cabin feels thoughtfully laid out—though we still wish for a dedicated volume knob. We compare pricing and rivals like the Kia Sorento, Toyota Highlander, and Mitsubishi Outlander, and share straight-talk shopping advice so you can find the right trim at the right price.Join us to connect future-focused tire tech with near-term road trips and a practical SUV you can buy now. If you enjoyed the ride, follow the show, leave a review, and share this episode with a friend who loves cars and wildflowers.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.

U.S. consumers looking for the least expensive new vehicle option are facing both bad and good news.The bad news is that the U.S. market no longer has a new vehicle with an average MSRP below $20,000. According to Kelley Blue Book, the all-but-gone Mitsubishi Mirage was the last hope. The good news is that the new cheapest car, the Nissan Versa, carries a fairly reasonable MSRP of $22,315. But the other bad news is that the Versa is dead.As Kelley points out, Nissan reportedly ended production of the Versa in December. Josh Clifton, senior product communications manager for the automaker, revealed to The Drive that the Versa died so Nissan's product strategy could live.#CarPrices, #AutoIndustry, #NissanVersa, #MitsubishiMirage, #KelleyBlueBook, #CoxAutomotive, #CarMarket, #NewCars, #AffordableCars, #AutomotiveNews, #CarBuyers, #CompactSUV, #VehicleMSRP, #CarInflation, #AutoTrends

Ever wonder who keeps carburetors, vacuum lines, and timing lights from fading into history? We dive into the real engine behind reliable repairs: master technicians who mentor the next generation. From GM's retention strategies and structured apprenticeships to the practical steps a curious student can take, we map a clear path into a modern shop while preserving the old-school feel that tablets can't teach.The headlines got hotter than a runaway pack as we unpack current recalls, including EV battery fire risks and what smaller fire departments can and cannot do when lithium-ion ignites. We translate recall notices into plain steps you can take—VIN checks, dealer conversations, and realistic expectations—without the noise. Then it's onto our sold-car showdown: a sleeper-priced AMC AMX, a tidy '57 Thunderbird, a six-figure Defender, and a shockingly affordable Mercedes SEL that proves entry price and ownership cost are two different lanes.Community keeps the hobby running, so we spotlight cruise-ins and charity meets where tacos, trophies, and mentorship collide. These events are where future techs meet shop foremen, where schools find parts and partners, and where stories become careers. We round it out on the factory floor with Toyota's use of humanoid robots to handle repetitious tasks, and what that means for human roles, from maintaining automation to elevating quality control. Through every segment, one theme holds: when seasoned pros share their craft and rookies lean in, the whole ecosystem—shops, owners, and enthusiasts—gets stronger.If you love real car talk with actionable advice and a pulse on the industry, hit follow, share this with a friend who wrenches on weekends, and drop a review to tell us what topic you want 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.

Ever wondered how a body shop brings a modern, sensor-packed car back to life after a crash? We sit down with Andy Noyes from asTech, driven by Reparify, to unpack the behind-the-scenes tech that turns chaos into confidence: remote OEM diagnostics, precise calibrations, and factory-level programming delivered through a simple plug-in device. From pre-repair scans that reveal hidden restraint faults to post-repair verifications that ensure every module is talking, you'll hear how shops cut delays, reduce supplements, and hand back vehicles that are truly road ready.We dive into real-world cases where this approach shines. Airbag deployments aren't just about swapping a module—procedures can call for new seat belts, sensors, and software steps that vary by brand. Windshield replacements on late-model cars now demand camera calibrations, and we explore why cheap glass can sabotage those efforts even when the camera is mounted correctly. Andy explains how brand specialists pair OEM tools over the internet to program radar modules, run seat weight initializations, and diagnose intermittent ABS issues with live data, saving days of trial and error and protecting drivers from unsafe ADAS behavior.If you manage a collision center, handle glass installs, or simply drive a car built in the last decade, this conversation makes the new repair reality clear and practical. You'll learn why generic scanners miss key modules, how pay-per-use remote support scales from a few jobs to dozens daily, and how transparent reports help set expectations with insurers and customers alike. We round out the show with a quick look at regenerative tire tech on the horizon and a field guide to the best Texas bluebonnet routes for your next drive.If this helped demystify modern repairs, follow the show, share it with a friend who wrenches, and leave a rating with your biggest calibration question—we may answer it on air next week.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 EV boom was supposed to be a straight shot. Instead, Detroit is eating billions in write-downs, canceling high-profile electric models, and quietly steering profits back toward gas and hybrid vehicles. We pull the curtain on the strategy shifts behind the headlines, from GM's van retreat and Ford's Lightning pivot to Stellantis' sobering projections, and talk through what buyers have been saying all along: price, range, charging speed, and convenience still rule the decision.We connect the policy dots too. When fuel economy penalties relax and federal tax credits wobble, the spreadsheets change—fast. That's why platform choices matter so much right now. Dedicated EV architectures promise efficiency but trap capital if adoption slows, while flexible platforms and smart hybrid lineups offer a safer mix. We share first-hand charging experiences that show how infrastructure and real costs shape daily life: a Tesla plug that fills a workday gap feels great; a pricey fast charge on a road trip does not.Autonomy has its own turbulence. As robotaxi pilots expand to cities like Dallas and Houston, each incident stresses public trust. We lay out the safety narrative, why transparency beats hype, and how autonomy could still reshape mobility with patience and proof. Then we shift gears to something every enthusiast can use this weekend: a curated guide to Texas' most rewarding drives, from FM 170's river-carved sweep to the Twisted Sisters' blind crests and switchbacks. Expect clear cautions on traffic, limited fuel, scarce charging, and the best times to go.Along the way, we spotlight community: cruise-ins, cars and coffee, and local meetups that keep car culture vibrant even as the industry recalibrates. Our takeaways are simple: hybrids are the right-now value play, EVs need frictionless charging and honest pricing, and flexible manufacturing beats wishful thinking. If you care about where mobility is headed—and want a great road to enjoy today—this one's for you.Enjoyed the show?

What if four words could save you thousands at the dealership? We sit down with veteran insider Randy Presgrove to unpack 47 years of wins, wrecks, and the unfiltered truths of car buying and selling. From boardroom bravado to showroom reality, Randy pulls back the curtain on how hits are made, how flops happen, and how regular buyers can tip the deal back in their favor.We trace the anatomy of failure through icons like the Edsel and head‑scratchers like Mazda's youth‑aimed MX‑3, showing how timing, design, and marketing alignment matter more than hype. Randy explains why many product misfires teach sharper business lessons than successes, and how dealers experience those lessons in real inventory pain. Then we get practical: the research that actually moves price, captive finance deals that hide in the fine print, and the single sentence that resets a negotiation when the process drags or the fees bloat.The conversation shifts to the future of retail. Online shopping has shrunk the need for sprawling showrooms, yet manufacturers still push costly facilities while buyers increasingly compare, configure, and pre‑approve from the couch. We explore where those forces collide, what stays the same about human selling, and how service capacity becomes the quiet profit center that keeps customers loyal. Along the way, we revisit Chrysler's Iacocca era, sky‑high interest rates, brand disappearances after 2008, and why price creep has nearly erased true loss leaders.We wrap with fast‑hitting, high‑leverage tips: stack incentives the right way, verify every rebate on paper, know your exit, and keep control of your time. If you've ever felt overwhelmed under the bright lights, this conversation gives you a roadmap and the confidence to use it.Enjoyed the show?

In a short amount of time, it won't matter whether you buy a Chevy, Ford, Toyota, or BMW, the automotive kill-switch mandate stands. Congressman Thomas Massie proposed a bill which would eliminate federal funding from being used to implement it, and it was shot down. I discuss the major ramifications of this and how your car will now contribute to the looming surveillance state. On a lighter note, I also discuss Toyota's new CEO pick and what it means for enthusiasts. That and your car sounds on this edition of the show!

Law professor and former White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter joins at the top of the hour to talk about major ethical violations and unconstitutional action from the Trump administration in the money the President and his family have earned from foreign governments. Later, Chad wonders how many Americans are able to thrive today with the high costs of housing and new vehicles.

Chad shares new data about the average price of a new vehicle today and how that, along with the high prices of homes today, makes it seem impossible for young people or low income individuals to achieve the American dream.

Emily is back with a true “my life is a movie” episode… and she's sharing the full story of how she manifested her white Audi Q3 in perfect divine timing. This episode is part manifestation story, part Saturn Return initiation, and part reminder that when something is meant for you, it doesn't have to be forced. Emily takes you behind the scenes of releasing a 15-year relationship with her beloved 2008 Honda Civic, navigating the nervous system stretch of buying a car as a business owner, and trusting herself so deeply that everything clicked into place with jaw-dropping synchronicity. If you're in an identity upgrade era, calling in a big manifestation, or learning how to trust your intuition (especially when people around you don't fully get it), this episode is for you. ✨ In this episode, Emily covers: The story of letting go of her 2008 Honda Civic The real reason she finally felt ready to upgrade: freedom, travel, and expansion What a Saturn Return is and why it's often a “push out of the nest” initiation The concept of a Saturn Return “return” (aka the reward for your growth) The manifestation ritual she did with her membership that led to buying the car Why her final intention shocked her: “Buy a car” The difference between a manifestation that's “fine” and one that sets your soul on fire How she went from “just browsing” to finding the exact car from her vision board The behind-the-scenes car buying process: negotiation, financing, trade-in, nervous system stretch The synchronicities that confirmed the timeline How a pay-in-full client came through at the exact moment she needed the down payment The moment her guide said: “Just say yes.” What she learned about trust: trust in self, trust in others, trust in the universe Why “meant for you” manifestations click into place (and what it means when they don't) How this new car symbolizes her new identity, new standards, and next chapter

Want a drive that actually feels like driving? We chart Texas routes that reward focus and finesse—FM 170 along Big Bend Ranch State Park with vast desert sight lines, the short-but-epic Palo Duro descent into red rock, Devil's Backbone across Hill Country ridges, the razor-tight Park Road 37 by Medina Lake, and the legendary Twisted Sisters with its switchbacks, blind crests, and breathtaking ranchland vistas. You'll get practical advice on when to go, what to watch, and how to prep so the only surprise is the view around the next bend.Then we flip the script and explore the wild side of automotive branding. Porsche's chef-level knives, Honda's quietly brilliant HondaJet, BMW and McLaren's high-end bicycles, Peugeot's heritage pepper mills, Toyota's loom-to-engine lineage, Mercedes' limited surfboards, and Bugatti's carbon fiber furniture show how engineering DNA travels from test tracks to kitchens, oceans, and living rooms. We dig into why these products make strategic sense—and where they're pure theater for the superfan.To ground it all, we share a hands-on review of the Lexus RX 450h Plus. The PHEV powertrain delivers smooth, satisfying acceleration and real-world efficiency, wrapped in a distinctive design that stands out from copycat SUVs. Inside, the minimalist cabin feels premium and calm, though we still want a few more physical controls for eyes-up driving. With up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity, thoughtful packaging, and that excellent Mark Levinson sound, the RX 450h Plus competes credibly with the GLE and X5—especially if your routine fits the electric range sweet spot.If you're mapping a Hill Country loop, chasing bluebonnets, or just curious why a car brand would build a pepper mill, this episode brings the roads, the rationale, and the road test.

Headlines shouted about a clean break from greenhouse gas rules, but we cut through the noise to ask what this policy swing actually means for people who buy, build, and maintain cars. We walk through the EPA endangerment repeal's potential impact on standards, pricing, and long-term planning, then shift into the only lens that really matters: how drivers live. Short commutes, home charging, and quiet torque are wins for many; long highway runs, towing, and cold snaps still test the limits. Along the way, we dig into the heat around EV subsidies, why automakers crave stable rules, and how global competition shapes what ends up in your driveway.From there we get tactical. We map the difference between range anxiety and time anxiety, explain how a simple home Level 2 setup changes daily life, and offer practical road-trip planning tips that reduce charging stress. We also deliver a crisp recall rundown—tires with potential tread separation, overheating starters, loose seat frames, and lighting faults—plus a reminder to register your tires and run a quick VIN check. Safety isn't sexy until it is.We keep the energy up with a “guess the sold price” set that teaches why a tidy Biscayne, a square-body Chevy truck, and even a stately Packard land where they do. Value follows originality, documentation, and tasteful choices. Our quick lap through auto history—Hudson's NASCAR prowess, the Miura's supercar spark, the Civic's oil-crisis rise, Kia's long climb, and the Nano's lesson in perceived value—shows how innovation, timing, and trust shape markets. We close with hard numbers on industry losses tied to EV write-downs and supply snags, and what that signals for model lineups ahead.If you care about cars, policy, and the practical choices that keep you moving, this conversation hits the sweet spot between shop-floor reality and big-picture trends. Listen, then tell us: should standards tighten, loosen, or simply stabilize so the best tech wins?

Think your state has the worst drivers? We put that assumption to the test with WalletHub's 2026 rankings, breaking down where it's cheapest, safest, and most convenient to own and drive a car—and why it rarely matches what your daily commute feels like. With WalletHub's Chip Lupo, we unpack a clear four-part framework: cost of ownership and maintenance, traffic and infrastructure, safety, and access to vehicles and repair. We go beyond headlines to the practical questions drivers actually face: How do gas prices and insurance premiums stack up? Does dealership and shop density change how well people maintain their cars? Where do theft and fatality risks really live, and how do sprawling metros skew statewide averages?Texas becomes our on-the-road case study. Ranked 13th overall, it benefits from strong access to dealerships and service and competitive fuel prices, even as fast growth and weather nudge road quality down the list. We contrast urban congestion in Houston and Dallas with the relief found on rural stretches, then look at how fatality rates include pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcycles—an essential nuance when speed limits function more like guidelines than rules. For anyone planning a move, budgeting for a teen driver, or weighing a new car purchase, the data offers a map to smarter decisions: fuel, insurance, registration fees, property taxes on vehicles, and maintenance costs all add up differently by state.We keep it useful with two hands-on segments. First, a Motor Minute on tire disposal that shows the cleanest, legal ways to recycle or repurpose old rubber—retailer returns, city transfer stations, and safe DIY options. Then we take the Lexus RX 450h+ for a deep spin: standout design, refined cabin, satisfying power, and real-world efficiency, with a few ergonomic wishes for more physical controls. If you're curious where your state lands, how the numbers are built, and what choices actually lower your total cost of ownership, this episode connects the dots from policy to pavement.Enjoy the conversation?

Safety isn't a slogan when streets get crowded and celebrations kick off. We sit down with a Texas Department of Public Safety sergeant for an unfiltered look at Mardi Gras patrols in Galveston—how a small island city scales up with state troopers and partner agencies to keep families safe, traffic moving, and DWIs down without killing the vibe. It's a masterclass in proactive policing and the power of visible, coordinated presence.From parades to neighborhoods, we tackle a growing hazard: mini electric pocket bikes. They're fast, silent, and, under Texas law, not street legal. Our guest breaks down exactly why these “mini pocket bikes” don't qualify for public roads, what makes an e-bike legal, and how parents can avoid tragic outcomes by setting strict rules and keeping these toys off the street. Then we open the door on a quieter crisis—youth vaping—and how it's bleeding into underage DUIs. We talk real risks, from THC exposure to potential contamination, and share practical steps for families, schools, and communities to push back.Truck lovers and daily commuters will appreciate our deep dive into CDL testing, weigh station enforcement, and why overweight citations matter. The sergeant details the tougher inspections rolling out along major Texas corridors, what triggers mandatory pull-ins, and how serious crashes can shut down roads for hours. We round it out with a fast lap through automotive headlines: China's push for mechanical EV door releases after fatal incidents, Volkswagen's software-first strategy in China, Porsche's EV cost crossroads, and Cadillac's move into Formula One—all while dealer networks wrestle with direct-to-consumer sales models.Hit play for candid insights, practical safety tips, and a clear-eyed view of how policy, technology, and enforcement shape our roads.

Sand roosts. Moving cities. Split-second calls. We sit down with Mercedes Lilienthal for an unfiltered look at the Dakar Rally—what it is, how it really works, and why accuracy can matter as much as speed. From Saudi bivouacs that can rebuild cars overnight to the reimagined stock class spearheaded by Defender, Mercedes shows how a modern OEM program comes together under tight regulations, compressed timelines, and the relentless pressure of 13 stages.We pull back the curtain on the logistics: when a bivouac loops vs leaps, what a “marathon” day does to crews, and how three full-size spares can still feel like not enough. You'll hear how spectators find safe vantage points, why photographers always plan escape routes, and how even a royal visit can reroute a live stage. Mercedes explains the craft behind regularity and TSD rallying—holding speed, nailing time, and staying on course—plus why that style of precision racing is so addictive for data-driven drivers and navigators.Then we look ahead. Mercedes and Andy gear up for the new Colorado Adventure Rally and a summer Alcan 5000 that stretches more than 6,000 miles if you opt into every challenge, reaching the Arctic Ocean and back. We switch lanes to auctions with a sharp breakdown of Barrett-Jackson vs Mecum—no-reserve drama vs reserve strategy, sell-through rates, and who buys what—and close with a driver-focused review of the 2026 Mazda CX-50, a compact SUV with standout handling, a willing turbo four, standard AWD, and an infotainment system that still needs polish. Finally, we honor Ed “Isky” Iskenderian, the Camfather whose matched sets and bold ideas powered generations of racers and hot-rodders.If you love rally raids, overlanding, OEM motorsport programs, classic car auctions, or just well-sorted everyday vehicles, this one's for you. Follow the show, share it with a friend who dreams in dunes and stage notes, and leave a quick review—what part of Dakar's ecosystem fascinates you most?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.

Think Mardi Gras begins and ends on Bourbon Street? We hit the road to map the best celebrations across Texas—Galveston's towering floats and nighttime crowds, Beaumont's growing footprint with room for families, Texas City's daytime routes, Seguin's golf cart charm, and San Antonio's Fiesta Texas makeover that turns the whole park purple, green, and gold. We also spotlight the small-town sparkle of Jefferson and Alvin, then head waterside for Kema, where lit-up boats parade past the boardwalk and the vibe walks the line between festive and family-friendly.Road trips need the right ride, so we put real miles on the 2026 Mazda CX-50 Meridian Edition. Expect crisp styling, an interior that puts the driver in command, and standout handling that outperforms most compact SUVs. The 2.5-liter turbo brings usable power and confidence without drama, though the flat roof rack looks overbuilt and the infotainment system needs a rethink. We share observed mpg, pricing context, and how it stacks up against segment staples like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Nissan Rogue so you can decide what matters most: grip, comfort, or fuel spend.To cap it off, we nerd out on muscle car station wagons that should have been factory legends. From Ford Torino and Chevy Chevelle cousins to Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, Pontiac Tempest, and Dodge Coronet platforms, we break down why these long-roof builds make the perfect blend of nostalgia, utility, and torque. Whether you're planning a family-friendly parade crawl or sketching your dream resto-mod wagon, this ride has you covered with routes, reviews, and a little righteous rumble.If you enjoy the show, follow, rate, and share it with a friend who loves parades, road trips, or great cars—and tell us which Texas Mardi Gras stop you're hitting 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.

Hybrids aren't the backup plan anymore—they're the headline. We break down Consumer Reports' 2026 winners, from the Civic Hybrid's sharp steering and 44 mpg to the Camry's 48 mpg and old-school tactile controls that make daily driving easier. Subaru's Crosstrek and Forester win on ride quality, visibility, and confidence in bad weather, while Toyota's mid-sized SUV pick nails cargo space and comfort with an easygoing 35 mpg hybrid. For luxury shoppers, the Lexus NX balances a calm cabin with intuitive controls and a hybrid that smooths the surge.Trucks and EVs share the spotlight too. The Ford Maverick proves you can get real utility without parking-lot fatigue, pairing a spacious cabin with hybrid efficiency that saves cash every week. The F-150 continues to deliver with a gem of a V6 and smart touches like a tailgate that doubles as a workbench. On the electric side, Tesla's Model Y refresh aims squarely at daily comfort—acoustic glass, a calmer ride, better materials—while keeping the speed, range, and Supercharger access that define its appeal.We also cover the news drivers need now: recalls for windshield bonding, high-voltage battery risks, failing displays, and rearview camera glitches. A quick VIN check at safercar.gov can save a headache later. Then we have some fun with auction shockers: a $710K Ford GT, a six-figure classic Bronco, and attainable icons like a '49 Chevy 3100 and a '73 Super Beetle that prove charm still sells. Along the way, we touch on dealer trust rankings, shifting work policies at major automakers, and a heartwarming dealership story that turned a driver's clapped-out Civic into a fresh start.Hit play to get smart on what to buy, what to avoid, and what might tempt your heart more than your wallet.

The ground just shifted under the auto industry, and we take you straight to the dealer floor to show what's really moving metal. With the $7,500 EV tax credit gone and emissions targets easing, automakers are recalibrating fast—dialing up hybrids, testing extended-range EVs, and even hinting at new life for V8 performance where demand is loudest. We connect policy changes to showroom choices, price pressure, and the practical hurdles that still stall EV adoption: high MSRPs, thin charging networks, and range that doesn't always meet real commutes.We break down why traditional hybrids are winning hearts and wallets right now. No plugs. Fewer compromises. Better fuel economy without changing habits. Then we dig into extended-range EVs, a sleeper category that pairs electric drive with an onboard generator to put range anxiety on ice while trimming complexity versus plug-in hybrids. PHEVs get a critical look too—those 30-ish electric miles sound great until your round trip or charger access says otherwise. Add in dealership intel on what sits, what sells, and how rigid trim bundles can stifle choice, and you've got a candid view of today's buying reality at the $50,000 average price point.Enthusiasts, we didn't forget you. We celebrate muscle car heritage with a tour of wagon-based builds that borrow glory from icons like the GTO, 442, and Chevelle SS, and talk about why sound, torque, and identity still matter in a multi-powertrain future. To round things out, we map a stack of Mardi Gras road trips across Texas—from packed Galveston nights to family-friendly boardwalks—because the best car talk ends with somewhere to go.If you love practical car advice with a pulse, hit play.

Step onto the show floor at the 43rd Houston Auto Show and you'll find a surprise: a show within the show. We sit down with curator Ben Miller, the connector who rebuilds a forty-car classic lineup every year from scratch—mixing concours-grade muscle, JDM unicorns, and offbeat imports to keep the display fresh, diverse, and unforgettable.Ben shares how he scouts “undercover” at Autorama, Texas Elite, and Cars and Coffee meetups, building trust with owners and tracking evolving builds so repeat participants never bring the same car twice. He explains why auctions aren't ideal for sourcing, how community ties matter more than bidding paddles, and how small, local shows can yield the most surprising finds. Along the way, we talk selection philosophy—choosing cars people love, not just cars he loves—and the importance of mixing eras, body styles, and stories to spark conversation across generations.Highlights include a 2021 Ford GT and a rare new GTD holding court in the lobby, plus a time-capsule 1999 Viper ACR with 1,500 miles parked beside a heavily modified 2014 Viper sporting twin nitrous bottles. Ben pulls back the curtain on the logistics few see: cold-weather tire limits that can delay deliveries from Canada, owner schedules, security, and the paperwork that keeps everything moving. It's a candid look at how a regional auto show becomes a living museum—one that changes every year to surprise even lifelong car people.If you love classic cars, JDM legends, and the craft of curation, this one's for you.

Shoppers don't just want specs—they want confidence. From the floor of the Houston Auto Show, we sit down with Team Gilman's Acura lead, Marla Cardenas, to dig into what turns casual browsing into informed decisions, and why a calm, pressure‑free venue helps families and first‑time buyers ask better questions. The Integra Type S brings the sport, the NSX brings the sparkle, and the new ADX shows why smaller SUVs are winning hearts with agility and everyday comfort.We walk through the Acura lineup's core personality: responsive handling without harshness, clean design with real utility, and tech that stays focused on safety and ease of use. You'll hear how women and men frame priorities differently—crash protection, child‑seat fit, and budget flexibility on one side; horsepower, hybrid timelines, and engineering details on the other—yet converge on the same outcome: how the car feels when it counts. We also unpack the value of certified pre‑owned inventory, sourced mainly from customer trade‑ins with known service histories, giving buyers a clear path between new and used without the gamble.Behind the scenes, the industry is shifting. With older vehicles on the road longer and a persistent technician shortage, dealerships are doubling down on mobile service, retention, and transparent support. That's where loyalty really forms—after the first test drive, when life gets busy and maintenance matters. If you're weighing Integra vs. ADX, RDX vs. MDX, or new vs. certified, this conversation delivers practical insight, show‑floor impressions, and the kind of straight talk that helps you choose well.If you enjoy candid car talk and real buyer tips, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so others can find us.

Want a truck or Jeep that turns heads without turning your commute into a chore? We're live from the Houston Auto Show with the crew from Texas Truckworks to map out upgrades that deliver real value: two-inch leveling kits for a cleaner stance, right-size tires for comfort and grip, and bed covers that earn their keep every single day. We get tactical about wheels that won't punish ride quality, sidewall that protects on rough roads, and setups that keep your highway manners intact while adding weekend capability.The conversation goes beyond parts into purpose. We talk building for trails over mud, why overlanding and rock crawling reward preparation, and how clubs help new drivers gain skills without breaking parts. You'll hear how women are reshaping Jeep culture—leading trail runs, organizing charity rides, and building confident rigs. Then we open the hood on the purist debate around engine swaps, comparing brand-loyal Hemi or Coyote builds with LS conversions, and explain when tuning, exhaust, and cooling upgrades are smarter than chasing peak horsepower.We wrap with a rapid-fire market pulse: surprising recall alerts owners should check now, and a “guess the price” classic car roundup that drops jaws—a clean '69 GTO Judge, a survivor-grade Mopar with a shaker hood, a depreciated Porsche sedan, and more. The lesson repeats across every segment: match the build to your life, verify the details, and iterate with intention.If you're planning your first upgrade or refining a seasoned rig, this one's packed with practical advice, real-world numbers, and a few hot takes to sharpen your plan. Enjoy the ride, then subscribe, leave a rating, and share this episode with a friend who's about to order wheels they'll regret.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.

Trouble with the new car? Work and trying to gamble.

The line forms where the growl echoes. We're set up beside Camp Jeep at the Houston Auto Show, and the first thing you notice is the 30-degree hill and the calm voice of a pro driver explaining exactly how a Wrangler keeps its cool. We brought the track manager, Nick Hoy, into the hot seat to decode the six-obstacle course, the Wrangler 392's idle climb, and why a single button for sway bar disconnect can be the difference between spinning and sticking.From there, we open the hood on modern off-road tech without the buzzwords. Nick walks us through the electronic lockers, Off-Road Plus, and the front-facing camera that turns a blind crest into a confident line. It's a clean progression from the old days of manual hubs and pliers in the mud to quick, precise controls on the dash. We talk Gladiator, poke at the Grand Cherokee's air suspension and skid plates, and admit that not every model is meant to crab-walk a rock garden. Still, capability shows up across the Jeep lineup, and the indoor course proves it in minutes.We shift gears into memory lane with Jeff's Car Culture: a countdown of the best-selling American vehicles of all time. The Model T's assembly-line revolution, the Chevrolet Impala's long reign, Silverado and Ram solidifying the truck era, and the F-Series towering over all—each nameplate marks a chapter in how America drives and works. The list is a conversation starter, and yes, the Oldsmobile Cutlass earns its spot.To turn inspiration into miles, we map five spring road trips that reward any capable car or SUV: the flowered overlooks of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Montana's Going-to-the-Sun Road drama, the quiet curves of the Natchez Trace, shoulder-season serenity on Pacific Coast Highway, and a burst of Texas bluebonnets along the Willow City Loop. These routes pair perfectly with a fresh set of tires, a full tank, and a curious mind.If you're at NRG Center, follow the signs to Camp Jeep for a guided ride, then swing through the indoor display to poke around the screens and seats—including the head-turning TRX. Listening from afar? Tap follow, share the show with a fellow gearhead, and leave a review with your pick: which Jeep would you take up that 30-degree hill?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.

Engines echo, tires climb, and families light up as we go live from the 43rd Houston Auto Show—where test drives, ride-alongs, and a boat hall next door turn the day into a full-on adventure. We walk you through Camp Jeep and the Ram Truck track, then step outside for Polaris side-by-sides and a monster truck ride that's already creating legends in the lobby. Inside, the floor is packed: mainstream brands with full lineups you can sit in, scan, and compare, plus a luxury gallery ranging from Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin to Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Lotus.We dig into what buyers really care about right now—transparent pricing, base vs top-trim choices, and how QR codes help you validate features on the spot. Our conversation moves from tow ratings and hitch options to a smarter way to shop: plan a route with the official floor map, hit your short list first, and use the show to compare brands in minutes, not weekends. Along the way, we spotlight why Stellantis returned in force and how interactive experiences like Toyota's game show and Subaru's adoption corner make the event feel human and memorable.Gearheads get a double hit. Jeff kickstarts racing season with Formula One's new era testing notes, the I-500 snowmobile classic, and a calendar stacked with NHRA, NASCAR, and IndyCar—plus a fresh street race headed to Washington, D.C. Then we dive into the 2026 Toyota Supra Final Edition: Gazoo Racing details, BMW-sourced straight-six punch, an eight-speed that makes the manual optional, and the kind of poised stiffness that turns on-ramps into moments. We close with Joe Garcia from Central Houston Nissan, who explains why the Rogue keeps winning, how the new Dark Armor trim hits the value sweet spot, and why the V6 Frontier is the right-size truck for garage and budget.Subscribe for more live showfloor coverage, share this with your car-curious friends, and leave a review with the one vehicle you'd test first at 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.

This week Rich has on comedian Tayler Yarish! You can get tickets to his special taping on March 28th right here: https://grove34.com/shows/tayler-yarish-special-taping-9pm

The cold rolled in, the guest line went sideways, and we decided to make the most valuable hour you'll spend before hitting an icy road. We dig into the moves that keep you safe when bridges glaze over and confidence outruns grip: how to plan your route, why following distance is everything, and the simple car kit that turns a breakdown into an inconvenience instead of a crisis.From there, we get hands-on with winter tires and storage. If you swap sets, we explain why compound and siping matter, the right way to store wheels horizontally, and how to clean tread before bagging them up. We share real black ice tactics learned the hard way—crawl speed, smooth inputs, zero assumptions about stopping—and why hot water on cold windshields is a costly mistake. Even in a world of roadside apps, kitty litter, blankets, and a power bank still save the day.We lighten the mood with seven unforgettable songs about car crashes, using those stories as a lens on risk, impulse, and how car culture teaches safety by stealth. Then we turn the dial to racing: Daytona is on deck, and we have candid thoughts about broadcast crews, what fans want from coverage, and how good commentary can raise everyone's IQ without talking down to anyone. If you wrench on classics, you'll love our take on modern fuel injection that looks like a carb but starts right, tunes itself, and laughs at cold mornings.Join us, warm up, and get road-ready. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a winter driving reset, and leave a quick review to help more car folks find the show. We'll be live from the Houston Auto Show next week—see you there.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 60-second money minute. Today's topic: Record High New Car Prices. Again Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

If you're trying to decide which car to buy or want to learn more about the latest EVs on the market, Motortorque can help.  

New-car prices keep climbing, loan terms keep stretching, and shoppers are left to figure out what “value” really means. We bring on Alex from U.S. News & World Report to unpack the Best Cars for the Money awards, where expert road tests meet five-year ownership costs and real transaction data. The result is a practical shortlist of vehicles you can actually buy and enjoy without fearing the next payment or repair bill.We walk through the standouts. Kia's dramatic rise from budget to benchmark shows up across gas, hybrid, PHEV, and EV segments, with thoughtful packaging and long warranties that protect your wallet. In compact cars, the K4 challenges class leaders on price and coverage. For SUVs, we parse needs honestly: the Nissan Murano shines as a two-row value with style and standard safety, while the Kia Sorento makes sense as a smaller, occasional-use three-row that trims fuel and purchase costs. For buyers who truly need bigger rigs, Ford's Expedition and F-150 deliver lower lifetime costs relative to peers without skimping on core features at the entry point.We also go deep on EV reality. Regional charging, climate, and daily mileage matter, which is why compact options like the Chevy Equinox EV can be a sweet spot in cities, while larger families may see the Kia EV9 as the right fit. Then we get hands-on with the Polestar 4 Dual Motor: big power, clean design, a camera-based rear view, and a minimal interface that trades knobs for screens. We talk range, charging time, and how a dimmable glass roof feels in hot sun, plus how it stacks up against Tesla Model Y and Hyundai's Ioniq lineup.Looking for clarity in a confusing market? You'll get data-backed picks, real-world buying tips, and straight talk on how to stretch your dollars without hating your daily drive. If this helped your search, follow the show, share with a friend who's car-shopping, and leave a quick review to tell us your favorite value pick.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.

Sports cars comprise around 1% of new car sales these days, sadly. We discuss, and Steve-0 and our trauma surgeon Dr Stephan Moran pick our five favorite sports cars of all time.Trauma surgeon safety segment: For many years, Dr Moran has been advocating for better crash dummies ("They should have 20 different size and gender dummies lined up, and the tester can pick any one and put it into a car and run the test", is what he's been saying). Chinese manufacturer Geely has built a safety testing facility that can test 60 crash dummies, so finally someone out there has been paying attention and making cars safer through better crash testing. Dr Moran discusses.Stephan spots an insane Honda Accord. Us old guys think it's Fugly, but presumably "da kids" love it.Steve-0 gets into 2025 new car sales data and draws some conclusions: big pickups rule, compact crossovers and big SUVs are selling like crazy, BEVs are fading fast, and BMW is dominating the luxury market (with Lexus close behind).#carsoncallpodcast #automobile #traumasurgeonsafety #sportscar #bmw #lexus

Craving a car fix without a road trip? We spin a different kind of tour: five destination-worthy automotive museums that chart the arc from brass era pioneers to Hollywood legends, then we put a cutting-edge EV under the microscope. Our journey starts with the sprawling Gilmore campus and rolls through Tacoma's LeMay, LA's Petersen, and the Henry Ford's sweeping narrative of innovation before landing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, where racing history crackles from every display.With that heritage fresh in mind, we jump into the driver's seat of the 2026 Polestar 4 dual motor. Think 544 horsepower, a sleek profile, and one audacious choice: no rear window. We talk through the consequences of camera-only rear visibility, a panoramic roof that relies on electrochromic dimming, and a minimalist cabin anchored by a 15.4-inch screen. It's clean, modern, and quick, but we weigh the trade-offs—less tactile control and more eyes-off-road moments—alongside real-world charging needs, range, and pricing that parks it in Model Y and Ioniq territory.To round it out, we tip our hats to the unsung infrastructure that makes every drive possible: America's longest tunnels, from the Hudson crossings to Colorado's high-altitude Eisenhower bore and Boston's Ted Williams. It's a look at how engineering ambition underpins car culture, whether you're walking museum floors or merging into traffic. If you love the intersection of history, design, and modern EV realities, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with a fellow car nut, and drop a review to tell us which museum or EV deserves our next deep dive.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.

Fires, fixes, and fumbles: we open with hard facts on Ford's engine block heater recall affecting more than 119,000 vehicles, what symptoms to watch for, and why the only safe move is to leave the plug alone until the dealer repair is done. We also spotlight Land Rover's labeling error and explain how a “simple” sticker can pause sales and complicate safety compliance.From there, we jump into a sold car roundup that shows how the market really moves. A clean 1999 Chevrolet Suburban crossing $25,000 proves that durability and utility still command a premium. A 1977 Corvette landing at $11,000 illustrates how malaise-era horsepower drags value despite a four-speed. A sharp resto-mod 1972 Chevy C10 earns $36,750 on stance and drivability, while a 1963 Volvo 1800S hits $26,250 on design purity and nostalgia. Then the curveball: a 2006 Subaru Impreza for $1,300, a masterclass in how condition beats badge every time.We keep it local and lively with new Tailpipes and Tacos dates, cruise-ins you can hit next weekend, and details on our live broadcast from NRG Center. Along the way, we break down sales momentum across BMW, Lexus, Genesis, and GMC, and unpack how tariffs and model overlap nudged Dodge Hornet off the stage. If you care about car safety, smart buying, and the heartbeat of car culture, this one earns a saved spot in your queue.Subscribe for more candid car talk, share this with a friend who loves a bargain hunt, and drop a review to tell us which sold price shocked you most.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!---- ----- Want more In Wheel Time car talk any time?

Kelly Blue Book Executive Editor Brian Moody, joins Megan Lynch with a preview of the car-buying market in 2026.

Awards shape buyer decisions more than most of us realize, so we sat down with veteran juror and radio host Jack Nerad to peel back how North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year actually get chosen. Fifty independent journalists, a year of testing, multiple voting rounds, and a marathon drive event near Detroit all lead to three names everyone talks about. We walk through the process, the politics (or lack thereof), and the real criteria that separate buzz from substance: class leadership, value, significance, innovation, and everyday usability.The car finalists tell a story of contrast—Nissan Sentra updates, a reborn Honda Prelude, and a radically flexible Dodge Charger that spans two and four doors, a potent turbo six, and an all-electric variant. Hear why the jury rallied behind the Charger's breadth and execution. On the truck side, the Ford Maverick Lobo edged out Ram 1500 and Ram 2500 by pushing the compact pickup idea further, balancing capability with size, price, and clever packaging for daily life. And in the most crowded arena of all, the Hyundai Palisade claimed Utility of the Year by delivering family comfort, available hybrid efficiency, and true bang for the buck in a segment where buyers vote with their wallets.We also tackle EV realities. Charging gaps remain a friction point—even in California's backyard and especially across Texas—so vehicles that offer both electric and gasoline paths are resonating. Jack explains how the jury weighs those infrastructure challenges against performance and innovation without drifting into tech cheerleading. To round things out, we shift gears with Jeff's Car Culture—five of the longest drivable tunnels in the U.S.—and Mike's Driving Destinations, highlighting five standout car museums from the Petersen to the Henry Ford.If you enjoy smart car talk that mixes industry insight with real-world practicality, follow and subscribe.
