The studio phoneline is back in working order so we were able to talk about tool purchases a caller made for a road trip, and how to best sell off all of that useless junk we've all collected over the years. Ray tells us about a car inspection he did on a Volvo P1800S that turned out to be not as good as it looked. Chris is still dealing with an outgassing dashboard in a Camry & is open to all suggestions of how to clean it up.  Check our social media feed to see the pictures; on Instagram: @real_motormouthradio and on You Tube: https://youtu.be/VUQxSW28ezc

Zatiaľ čo motoristické médiá zvyknú automobilky len skritizovať, Petr Homoky zverejnil veľmi konkrétny 52-položkový zoznam nedostatkov svojho elektromobilu aj s riešeniami. Prvých odpovedí sa už dočkal a povedal nám o nich.V dnešnom podcaste vypočujete rozhovor s nadšencom z Česka, ktorý spísal chyby svojho auta, navrhol ako ich opraviť a čaká na oficiálnu reakciu automobilky.Ďalej sa dozviete, prečo automobilka Bugatti nemá v najbližších rokoch čo predávať, zaspomíname si na najpredávanejšie autá Európy spred 20 rokov a povieme si aj to, že na českej diaľnici budeme môcť ísť rýchlejšie ako 130kou. Vypočujte si novú časť podcastu inzertného portálu Autobazar.EU s Ďurom Sabom. Autobazar.EU - nielen o jazdenkách vieme všetko.Navrhol, ako má Volvo opraviť nedostatkyPetr Homoky je softvérový architekt, ktorý si kúpil elektrické Volvo EX30. Je z toho auta nadšený, ale zároveň si všimol nedostatky hlavne v oblasti infotainmentu. A na rozdiel od nás, česť výnimkám, ktorí šomreme, ale nič viac preto neurobíme, vytvoril webovú stránku, kde nielenže chyby podrobne popísal, ale navrhol aj riešenie, ktoré ich odstráni. Toto je ona - www.pleasevolvofixthis.com. Pochopiteľne, že ma to zaujalo a tak som mu zavolal a začal som s jednoduchou otázkou: Prečo to všetko?Dôvod prečo mi červená kontrolka zablikala práve teraz pri Volve, ktoré som si nakoniec kúpil, je ten, že infotainment v aute je veľmi podobný webovým alebo mobilným aplikáciám, ktoré tvorím v práci. Vďaka tomu, že je tam veľká podoba, tak som si začal všímať veci, ktoré by sa podľa mňa dali urobiť inak a tak vlastne ten projekt začal.Ja na tejto vašej iniciatíve najviac oceňujem to, že vy nepíšete len čo je zlé, ale zároveň ponúkate aj riešenie, ako daný problém vyriešiť. Pretože mnohí, samozrejme aj ja, sme s niečím nespokojní, ale sme lenivý to riešiť, alebo si nemyslíme, že budeme vypočutí. Vy ste asi nastavený inak.Ja som k tomu pristupoval tak, akoby som chcel dostať spätnú väzbu na nejaký produkt, ktorý som vytvoril ja. Na začiatku som na rôznych internetových fórach hľadal, či sa ľudia sťažujú na podobné nedostatky alebo nie. A narazil som na komunitu na sociálnej sieti Reddit, práve na Volvo EX30. 90 percent užívateľov sa tam sťažuje na funkcionalitu, ale nenapíšu, ako by to podľa nich fungovať malo. Mnohí písali, že tempomat nefunguje, bezpečnostné brzdenie nefunguje, nefunguje mi otváranie cez aplikáciu a podobne. Vďaka tomu, že ja do tej technológie pracovne vidím, tak pri písaní prvého problému som si povedal, že by bolo fajn napísať aj nejaký návrh riešenia a zároveň úskalia toho môjho návrhu. Pretože sa často stáva, že konkrétne zmeny môžu negatívne ovplyvniť užívateľov auta. Preto je podľa mňa fajn na tie veci upozorniť a nie sa len sťažovať.Neriešme teraz na chvíľu značku Volvo. Keď novinári testujú autá, vždy majú výhrady k infotainmentu pri autách akejkoľvek značky. Ja ako laik si myslím, že v automobilových továrňach pracujú skúsení profíci, tak prečo to má toľko nedostatkov? To je veľmi laický názor. Ja mám kamaráta, ktorý je vysoko postavený v automobilke Škoda a mám aj kontakty na iných ľudí, ktorí pracujú v spoločnosti Automotive. Z toho, čo som počul, tak doba sa mení. Volvo, ale aj iné automobilky, používajú moderné infotainmenty ako je Google automotive, ale v minulosti bola situácia iná. Ten program musel byť napísaný na mieru, pre riadiace jednotky v autách a na konkrétne čipy. A tie zásahy a modifikácia software, podľa mňa, neboli pre nich tak jednoduché, ako sú dnes. A vďaka tomu, že ten infotainment bolo drahé robiť pre automobilky, aj tá pracovná sila z pohľadu vývojárov alebo ľudí, ktorí by tieto tímy mohli riadiť, bola menšia

If you're after the latest reviews of some three-row crossovers of varying sizes, then you're listening to the right podcast! The Unnamed Automotive Podcast starts off with Benjamin's review of the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander, loaded with three rows and a gas-powered motor, the Outlander begins to boil Sami's blood due to its lack of competitiveness in a field full of excellent options. Benjamin has more than a few nice things to say about the Outlander, but none of them are about the barely-useable third row. Then Sami chimes in about his plug-in experience with the 2025.5 Volvo XC90. Loaded with 455 ponies and 30-ish miles of range, the XC90 is sure to be a hit. But then Sami's attention turns to the Swedish automakers attempts at designing an infotainment system, and things fall apart a bit. While not as bad as the EX90, the XC90 has a few glitches of its own that make it hard to recommend. Then it's time for a classic Nissan Pathfinder cow adventure. Thanks for listening!

Labor Day Replay:A divine prophecy, a kitchen cupboard full of auction school applications, and a career-defining first sale scheduled right after 9/11 – these unlikely elements converged to launch Yvette Vanderbrink into the world of automotive auctioneering, where she's spent 25 years specializing in barn finds and collector vehicles that others often don't know how to handle.Vanderbrink takes us behind the scenes of her recent Montana auction featuring 604 vehicles from three generations of collecting, explaining the logistical nightmares of conducting sales in remote locations with no cell service or electricity. With refreshing candor, she shares stories of overcoming sexism in the industry, including the memorable response to a man who suggested she "make a sandwich and let the boys do it" – she simply took away his bidder number.The psychology of car collecting emerges as a fascinating thread, with Yvette noting vehicles are "easier to come home than they are to leave," explaining how modest collections transform into hoarding situations. The thrill of the hunt often supersedes practical restoration plans, leading to expansive collections awaiting "someday" projects – something she witnessed firsthand with her father's 228-car collection.Don Armstrong provides a thorough review of the 2025 Kia Niro Hybrid, highlighting its impressive 53 mpg city fuel economy, attractive styling with Volvo-esque taillights, and competitive $26,990 starting price. The "small station wagon" (according to government classification) earns praise for its unique design elements, simple interior controls, and outstanding efficiency, positioning it as an ideal urban commuter vehicle.Whether you're fascinated by barn finds with stories to tell, considering an efficient hybrid for your daily commute, or simply enjoy authentic car talk from passionate enthusiasts, this episode delivers entertainment and insights that will have you looking at both forgotten classics and modern hybrids in a new light.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’s Volvo Green Tip features Graeme from Just a Small Piece, an initiative that encourages beachgoers to pick up at least one piece of litter every time they visit the beach. Framed as a simple “trade exchange” with Mother Nature, the idea is that after enjoying activities like swimming, surfing, kayaking, or simply spending time with family, you give back by keeping the beach clean. Graeme believes that if just 5% of South Africans, around three million people, took part, it would make a huge difference in reducing beach litter and keeping our oceans free of plastic.

Jill and Tom open the show talking about “launch colors,” basically the color which new vehicles are initially presented in for media reveals, advertising, and promotion. Tom still remembers the copper color the redesigned Mitsubishi Eclipse was unveiled in for 2000. Tom shared his early impressions of the electric Volvo EX30 subcompact crossover. So far, Tom is delighted by the Volvo, and surprised by its price. The hosts turn the discussion to the coming 2026 Jeep Compass; a vehicle Tom and Jill both feel the maker badly needs in its lineup. The Discussion continues to include clarification on the topic of Japanese “kei” cars, including proper pronunciation, and a brief chat regarding the heritage-trimmed Stroppe Edition of the Ford Bronco. In the second segment the hosts are joined by AutoForecast Solutions Vice President Sam Fiorani. Sam shared insights related to the current tariff situation, and what the elimination of “carbon credits” means to EV makers including Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid. Sam also shares news regarding the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Red!” quiz, in which she is challenged to identify fake car colors. 

Junto a la Policía Local Eva González hacemos el tercer episodio de la seguridad vial de las embarazadas La seguridad vial durante el embarazo exige una atención minuciosa a detalles que, en circunstancias normales, a menudo pasamos por alto. El primer pilar es la correcta colocación del cinturón de seguridad y el uso de adaptadores homologados. La banda pélvica debe ir siempre por debajo del vientre, bien ceñida sobre la pelvis, mientras que la diagonal ha de cruzar el tórax entre los senos y apoyarse a un lado del abdomen sin llegar a presionarlo. Cuando el cinturón se sitúa así —y no sobre la barriga— la gestante reduce de forma drástica el riesgo de lesiones fetales; si, además, incorpora un adaptador testado* la probabilidad de daño al bebé puede descender hasta un 53 %. A lo largo de la gestación también cambian la postura y la tolerancia al esfuerzo, de modo que la ergonomía al volante se vuelve clave. Las náuseas, la hipoglucemia o la somnolencia del primer trimestre exigen pausas más frecuentes: detenerse cada 90 minutos, beber agua con regularidad y ajustar cuidadosamente distancia al volante, altura del asiento y posición de los espejos mitiga la fatiga y mantiene la concentración. Estas medidas, sencillas y casi siempre gratuitas, suponen una barrera potente frente a distracciones y reacciones tardías. En el desafortunado caso de un siniestro, el protocolo debe contemplar la singular vulnerabilidad maternofetal. Si la gestante está consciente, conviene colocarla en decúbito lateral izquierdo para evitar la compresión de la vena cava; si se pide ayuda al 112, resulta imprescindible indicar que la víctima está embarazada, pues los servicios de emergencia activan entonces los procedimientos obstétricos específicos y movilizan recursos hospitalarios capaces de monitorizar al feto desde el primer minuto. La formación de matronas y personal sanitario emerge como otro eslabón decisivo. El Manual FAME-MAPFRE y el proyecto piloto desarrollado en Vélez-Málaga —cinco horas lectivas, demostraciones prácticas, encuestas inicial y final, y seguimiento anual— demuestran que instruir a las profesionales que acompañan a la mujer durante toda la gestación multiplica el impacto preventivo: cada matrona formada replica el mensaje en decenas de consultas prenatales. Sin embargo, los avances reglamentarios caminan más despacio. A pesar de prototipos como el dummy “Linda”, desarrollado por Volvo para simular a una embarazada en crash-test, ninguna normativa exige todavía ensayos específicos con fetos virtuales ni plantea criterios de homologación diferenciados. La industria reclama pautas claras; las autoridades, datos concluyentes. Entre tanto, la investigación sigue pendiente de convertir la evidencia científica en exigencia legal. El vacío no es solo técnico: también cuesta dinero y vidas. Las indemnizaciones actuales oscilan —según el Baremo de Accidentes— entre 15 000 € si la gestación no había superado las doce semanas y 30 000 € a partir del tercer mes, sin contar los gastos sanitarios ni el impacto psicológico familiar. Comparado con la mortalidad infantil de 0-5 años, el número de fetos que se pierden en colisiones es similar… pero mucho menos visible, y por tanto menos atendido. Por eso, la conclusión es, sobre todo, un llamamiento. Visibilizar salva vidas: cada embarazo registrado, cada estudio completado y cada dato compartido se traduce en prevención que mañana podremos medir —y, sobre todo, en bebés y madres que llegarán sanos a su destino.

This week on America on the Road, we put the spotlight on two 2025 model-year vehicles that represent very different segments with wildly different powertrains but share a commitment to technology, practicality, and style — the 2025 Volvo EX40 and the 2025 Hyundai Palisade. Leading off, host Jack Nerad delivers a detailed road test of the 2025 Volvo EX40 Twin Motor Ultra. While the name may sound new, the EX40 is essentially a renamed version of Volvo's previous XC40 Recharge. This all-electric compact SUV features dual motors delivering 402 horsepower and 494 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 78 kWh battery that provides up to 275 miles of range. Its minimalist Scandinavian interior includes heated seats front and rear, a panoramic sunroof, Google-powered infotainment, and a Harman Kardon audio system. With DC fast-charging capabilities and a long list of advanced safety features, the EX40 offers luxury EV buyers a stylish and well-rounded all-wheel-drive package, but is its as-tested price of $62,045 a hill too high? Next up is co-host Chris Teague's road test of the 2025 Hyundai Palisade, a three-row SUV that's become a go-to family vehicle thanks to its spacious cabin, upscale features, and user-friendly tech. Powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine producing 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, the Palisade delivers confident performance through an 8-speed automatic transmission, available in both front- and all-wheel-drive configurations. It earns an EPA-estimated 21 MPG combined, giving it solid range for long-distance travel. Inside, the Palisade offers seating for up to seven, 18 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, and a maximum of 86.4 cubic feet with seats folded. It also tows up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. Its near-luxury feel, intuitive tech, and extensive standard safety features win it kudos from both Chris and Jack, and they'll have more in this road test. This week's special guest is Frank Hanley, Senior Director of Automotive Benchmarking at J.D. Power. Frank joins the show to break down the results of the 2025 APEAL Study, which measures how emotionally satisfying a vehicle is to own and drive. He explains which brands are connecting with owners on a deeper level and what manufacturers can learn from the data. It's an insightful and data-rich segment that pulls back the curtain on the psychology of car ownership. This week's top automotive news stories: • Chrysler Gets Rugged with the Pacifica Grizzly Peak Concept
 Chrysler has revealed an overlanding-ready concept minivan, the Pacifica Grizzly Peak, at Overland Expo Mountain West.

I would like to say greetings wherever you happen to be today, we have a wonderful guest today. This is a woman, I would say, of many, many talents. I've been looking forward to this for a while. Kay Thompson is a minister, a TV host. She's an author, she's a realtor, and she's a business owner. My gosh, all of those. I want to find out how she does all those. But anyway, Kay, I want to welcome you to unstoppable mindset. We're really glad that you're here.   Kay Thompson ** 01:54 Well, thank you so much for having me. I appreciate being here, and thank you for contacting me excited.   Michael Hingson ** 02:01 Well, how do you do all those things all at once?   Kay Thompson ** 02:05 Well, you know, definitely can't do them all at once. Oh, okay, well, so have to kind of parse them out each day. And as I get assignments, that's how it goes. And got to prioritize one over the other. You   Michael Hingson ** 02:22 know? Well, we will, we will get to all of those, I am sure, in the course of the next hour or so. But I'm really glad that you're here, and as yet, I've been looking forward to this for a while, and and I'm sure we're going to have a lot of fun. Why don't we start? Maybe you could go back and tell us kind of about the early K growing up. What about you? So people can get to know you?   Kay Thompson ** 02:44 Oh, yeah. So growing up with the daughter of a military father, military officer. As a matter of fact, he rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. So that was interesting. So it was kind of a privileged military life in that sense that, you know, he just was always, he was a very important figure in his time. So that was interesting, walking on the base with him. And, you know, people would stop and salute him, you know, it was, it was, and I was just a little caught, you know, just running alongside him and just real proud, real proud   Michael Hingson ** 03:28 of my father. Did you have any Did you have any siblings?   Kay Thompson ** 03:31 I do? I have two brothers. Yeah, they both lived in Arizona. I was in the middle, so smashed right in the middle between two very muscular, very had a very demanding, commanding, excuse me, commanding presences. So in between the two brothers there, yeah, and then my mother, she was an English teacher, and very, you know, did excellent in her own right. She did a lot of drama, just a lot of teaching. She ended up in her 60s getting her doctorate degree, and, you know, just really excelled in education. And so she was the one that was really big on education. You know, go to school, go to school. Go to school. I don't want to go to school. Well, you need to go to school anyway. So I went to school anyway. That's how I can say my life was. Now, where did you grow up? All over,   Michael Hingson ** 04:32 okay, you did. I was going to ask if you did a lot of travel, since your dad was in the military.   Kay Thompson ** 04:38 Yeah, we certainly did. I was born in Tacoma, Washington. Oh, I don't remember any portion of it, because we were the only there, basically, so I could be born. I feel like, I know that's not the reason. But we went to Washington so I could be born, and then we lived there about a year, and then we moved to New York City. Then. We moved to. Now, by this my brother was already born, because all of us are three years apart. So my brother was born in Verdun, France, okay, and then they moved to, I can't remember where they were before that. I don't know if they went straight to from there to Washington State, and then we moved to New York, and then we went to Aberdeen, Maryland, and that's where my younger brother was born. And then from there, we went to Germany. We stayed there for about three years. From Germany, we went, I can't believe I remember all this. And from Germany, we went to Ohio. We stayed there for a couple of years. And actually we were there when they had that tornado. Was like in the 70s, there was a tornado Zenith Ohio. Well, we weren't far from zenith at the time. So we were there. Then we moved from there to Virginia, and it was there for three years, then to New Jersey, and then that's where my father retired. So we were all over the place.   Michael Hingson ** 06:10 You were, my gosh, well, did you, did you learn any of the foreign languages when you were in Germany and France, or, yeah,   Kay Thompson ** 06:23 in Germany, we could only, I only remember vaguely, you know, hello, thank you to know what it is now off beat is saying goodbye, Danka and bitter, thank you. You're welcome and good, yeah. But tight. But, no, no, we didn't do that at all   Michael Hingson ** 06:47 so, but you, you certainly did a lot and you had a lot of adventures. How do you think that all of that travel affected you as you grew older? What? What did it do that helped shape you?   Kay Thompson ** 07:03 Well, I know that, you know, of course, traveling. You know, you hear the story about kids all the time they travel, and because if they're if they're moving a lot, it's hard to create lasting, long term friendships, because you're just constantly moving. And you know, never mind moving to another city, but when you go to another state, even from another country. Now, I did happen to have a friendship with a young lady. Her name was Audrey, and I met her in Germany, and I was between the age of about three to five. I met her in Germany, and we stayed friends till I was in Virginia. So you're talking from Germany, wow, to Maryland, to Virginia. We were friends until Virginia, but then once I left Virginia and went to New Jersey, and I was there for my part of my middle school and then the rest of my high school, we fell out of touch. So that was one of the things I would say is difficult, you know, just having lifelong friends, yeah, that was, that was probably one of the more difficult things. But one thing on the other side is it made great being that person that was a world traveler. It was great when you're in school and they, you know, they ask you in your classroom, hey, you know, tell us something unique about you. Oh, well, I've been to Germany because my parents, when we were in Germany, they wasted no time traveling. They were always traveling. We were on the road all the time. I mean literally, and you know, they, they were just great world travelers. We went we went to Italy, we went to Spain, we went to France, we went to Switzerland. We went everywhere in Europe that they could get in that Volvo that they had. We had a nice little Volvo, and we would pitch out at, you know, campsites, you know, just any way they could to get where they needed to get, because they wanted to see these sites, and especially because my mother was an English teacher, she did a lot of plays, she directed a lot of plays, a lot of Shakespeare. And so a lot of these places were in these books, in this literature that she taught, and I'm sure that's probably one of the major reasons they did all this traveling, all these places that she had studied about, and, you know, taught about, she actually got to go see now, I must say, the only place I didn't go to that I wanted to go to that for some reason, she took my older brother. She didn't take any, noone else went, but my mother and my older brother. And I can't understand that trip to this day they those two went to. Greece. We didn't know. No one else in the family went to Greece. And I meant to ask, I'm going to, you know, when I finish this interview, I'm going to call my brother and ask him, What, what? What did you and mom go to Greece? You know, because nobody else got to go. But I would have loved to go there as well, but, but at the time, you know, new kid, it was okay. Mom and mom and Chuck are going away. Okay. But now that I think back and look back, maybe it was, I never, I never asked about that, but I'm going to ask, Did   Michael Hingson ** 10:34 it help you, though, develop a sense of adventure and and not create any kind of fear of of traveling around. Did it make you a more curious person? Because you got to go to so many places? Oh, I asked that in the on the basis of as you grew older and thought about it.   Kay Thompson ** 10:52 Oh, yeah, I'm a very curious person, curious person, and at times that can be a little nosy, right? And so, yeah, so that, to me, was, I think, one of the ways that built expanded my mind in terms of wanting to know about people and about things, because I've worked in public relations for many years, and so just being able to understand the perspective of other people from different cultures and different mindsets, being open to people from different cultures, different races, different religions, wanting to hear their point of view, interested in you know how they feel about things, because you can have a subject, or You can have something come up, and you have so many different perspectives from people. And you can see the very same thing, they can be shown the very same thing, but one person sees it from their lens, you know, from where you know, yeah, whether it's how they grew up or their external influences, and then someone could see the very same thing, and it interpret it totally different. Yeah. So   Michael Hingson ** 12:08 one of the one of the things that I've noticed in talking to a number of people who came from military families and and others as well, who did do a fair amount of travel to various countries and so on. They do tend to be more curious, and I think that's a very positive thing. They they have a broader outlook on so many things, and they tend to be more curious and want to learn more and wish that more people could have the same experiences that they had.   Kay Thompson ** 12:40 Yeah. I mean, not afraid to try new things too, for things that other people would would not like. I remember in Germany being very young, being fed octopus and snail. You know, these delicacies over there in Germany, I remember that at this my where my father was stationed, in Germany. The street, it was in like a court area. It felt like a court area, big apartments set up in a U shape, and then right across in a U shape in the in the middle of a field, like an open space, not a field, but an open space. And then right outside of that open space, we could jump out of that open space right into a busy street called Roma Strasse, and right on the other side of that busy street was Old Town, Germany, literally stepping there were no fences and no bars and no gates. We're stepping straight from our backyard into Germany, because the base was more Americanized. So you really felt Americanized on the base. But once you stepped into Germany, the houses were these. You know, cobble it was cobblestone streets. And I remember me and my brothers used to walk out of our backyard, that big open area, and go across the street into Germany and get the authentic gummy bears. That was our weekly trip. And these gummy bears, I'm telling you now, for gummy bear enthusiasts out there, the gummy bears in Germany looked nothing like these gummy bears that we see here. They were huge. They were the cutest little bears. I almost felt guilty eating them, but we just had a great time. I remember great memories from our exploits, our visits, the life was different. You know, toilet paper was harder. I just remember now that was years ago. I don't know what it's like now, but   Michael Hingson ** 14:49 yeah, but does the gummy bears taste better?   Kay Thompson ** 14:53 Well, now I can't remember, because then, when you're a kid, any candy, you know, if you say candy, I say, yeah. Much, you know. So when I was that young, I couldn't tell, but they probably did, you know. But then again, for those people that like because I don't drink, but the beer there is much darker, too. So some people don't like that. So better to them. You know, could be, you know, we don't like it to us. So   Michael Hingson ** 15:25 I've never been to China, but I've been to Japan twice, and there's a food in China called dim sum. Are you familiar with dim sum? Okay, I'll tell you dim sum in Japan is I and I think better. It's different and tastes better than dim sum in the United States. Now I have to go to China one of these days and try it. Yeah.   Kay Thompson ** 15:48 Well, if you ever go to the buffets, have you ever gone to the Yeah? Yeah. Okay, so if you notice the people that work there, they do not eat the food that the buffet. Yeah, they so one day I'm going to do this too. I'm like, hey, you know, can I have some of which   Michael Hingson ** 16:09 you guys eat? Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, yeah, but it is, it is interesting. It's fun to to investigate and explore. And I haven't traveled around the world much. I have as a speaker, had some opportunities to travel, but I think my curiosity came from being a blind person who was encouraged by my parents to explore, and the result was that I did a lot of exploring, just even in our house around our neighborhood. And of course, when the internet came along, and I still believe this is true, it is a treasure trove of just wonderful places to go visit. And yeah, I know there's the dark web and all that, but I ignore that. Besides that, probably the dark web is inaccessible, and maybe someday somebody will sue all the people who have sites on the dark web because they're not accessible. But nevertheless, the internet is just a treasure trove of interesting places to visit in so many ways. Yeah,   Kay Thompson ** 17:17 and then a virtual reality. So one of the places that I wanted to go to was, I've always wanted to go to Egypt. I haven't had an opportunity yet, and personally, right now, don't know how you know how good an idea that is right now. Yeah, but I went to a recent VR exploration of the pyramids in Egypt. And I'm telling you, if that was how it seemed, it's definitely was a way to help me to, you know, live it out, so to speak. Because there's, like, for instance, there's a place in Florida called the Holy Land, the Holy Land, you know, the whole just like a theme park. And they say it looks, you know, there are areas where it looks just like Israel, parts of Israel. So, you know, in that respect, I've been able to realize some portion of the dream. But yeah, I have been love to get there.   Michael Hingson ** 18:16 I have been to Israel, and I enjoy happy. I was in Israel two years ago. Oh, well, so what did you do after high school?   Kay Thompson ** 18:30 Oh, after high school, interesting. So remember when I was telling you about the school thing? So I was in and out of school. I went to I started college in New Jersey. Where did you I went to Rutgers University. Rutgers, yeah, well, first I started in New Brunswick. Then I came back because we lived closer to Camden. We lived we lived in New Jersey, closer to Philadelphia. Philadelphia was about 20 minutes away.   Michael Hingson ** 18:57 Mm, okay, I lived in, I lived in Westfield, New Jersey. So we were out route 22 from New York, about 15 miles. So we were in the north central part of the state, okay, South North part, or whatever, of the state.   Kay Thompson ** 19:11 Okay, okay, yeah. Well, yeah. First it was in New Brunswick. I was there. And then after I did that, I went for about a semester, and then I transferred over to Hampton University, because both my parents went to Hampton, so I said Hampton didn't stay there, and then I ended up coming back and going to Rutgers in Camden, and there I completed my degree. Took me eight years to complete it. What   Michael Hingson ** 19:42 did you get your degree in?   Kay Thompson ** 19:43 I got my degree in art history and sculpture. So, okay, yeah, and I love what I did. I you know, I had a museum work. Loved working in a museum, and could tell you about all the i. You know, the art, the sculpture, just loved it. But it took me a minute to get that then. And then, after that, I went to, I moved to Atlanta in 92 the end of 92 so after high school, you know, just a lot of challenges, just trying to figure out who I was and what did you do. You know, how I wished I would have, now, looking back on it, I wish I would have, maybe when I got out of high school, just taking some time off first. And because in my heart, I knew I, I knew I, I knew I didn't want to go to school, but I knew I needed to go. I knew there was something in me that said, you you need to go to school. But mentally, I don't think I was mentally prepared for it, for for the you know, because when you get out of high school, and you go into college, it's a unless you take AP courses in high school, you're not prepared for the amount of work you're going to get inundated with. And it was just overwhelming to me. It took all my time. I felt like I was that person. I had to keep reading things over and over again just to get it, I used to have to, not only did I take, you know, what friend of mine calls copious notes, but then I also had to put it over in index cards. And you know, it just took me a long time because my heart wasn't in it at the time. So I ended up meeting a gentleman, my first husband. We were married, we had a son, and then, but he passed away, I think, when my son was about three, and then that's when, okay, okay. Now, you know you now, now, now. I wanted to go. Now I wanted to finish. So it was   Michael Hingson ** 22:00 your it was your husband that passed away. Yes, yeah, okay, yeah, all right, so then you decided you really needed to to do school.   Kay Thompson ** 22:12 Yeah, I needed to complete it. So that's what pushed me to complete it, leaving   Michael Hingson ** 22:17 the major aside of sculpture and art and his art history and so on. If you were to summarize it, what did college teach you?   Kay Thompson ** 22:30 Oh, that's a great question. What did college teach me? Well, you know, it taught me that, you know, I think we just need to, well, you need to know how to focus. It's really was a disciplining moment in my life. I was an Army brat. You know this bottom line, I was an Army brat even though I felt like I didn't get a whole lot of things that I wanted. In reality, I had a, like a kind of a spoiled mentality. And when I got to college, I realized that this stuff is not going to be handed to me, you know, you're not going to be handed an a you know, I'm not going to do your studying for you, you know. And so helping me to kind of detach from things I had just depended on for so long. But in that transition, it became very lonely. College was very lonely. I mean, even when I left, because I got out of when I first went to Rutgers and cam in New Brunswick, right out of high school. I had, I was at the dorm, and I wasn't ready for a dorm. I wasn't ready for that life because, you know, I left almost before the semester was over and I had to go and make up the classes. And, you know, thankfully, they allowed me to make up some of my you know, majority well. As a matter of fact, they let me make them all up, but I still had to put in the work. And that was my thing, putting in the work, putting in the work and doing things that I didn't necessarily like. Because even though I liked art and I like sculpture and all that. There were other classes that I had to take, like humanities and algebra, you know, and history, you know, not not art history, but you know, American history, European history, and all these different other subjects, these other prerequisites or curriculum that you have to take. And I didn't always enjoy those and other I don't want to do that, but no, you actually have to do it. So I'm going to say that college really helped me learn about disciplining myself to do things that I don't necessarily like, but they are required of me,   Michael Hingson ** 24:58 and I. But I would tell you, if you asked me the same question, that would be my answer. It really taught me a lot about discipline. It taught me also to realize that I really did like inappropriately so adventure and exploration and being curious and so on. I also found that my best college courses were the ones, no matter what the subject was or whether I really enjoyed it or not, were the ones where I had good teachers who really could teach and who were concerned about students and interacting with students, rather than just giving you assignments, because they then wanted to go off and do their thing. But I liked good teachers, and I went to the University of California at Irvine, and had, very fortunately, a lot of good teachers who encouraged discipline and being able to function in unexpected ways and and they also pointed out how to recognize like if you're doing something right, like in physics, when my Masters is in physics, one of the First things that one of my professors said is, if you've got to get the right answer, but the right answer isn't just getting the right numbers, like if you are trying to compute acceleration, which we know is 16 feet per second squared, or 9.8 meters per second squared. That's not right. Anyway, 3232 feet per second, or 9.8 meters per second, it isn't enough to get the 32 feet or or the 9.8 meters. You've got to get meters per second squared. Because that never mind why it is, but that is, that is the physics term for acceleration, so it isn't enough to get the numbers, which is another way of saying that they taught me to really pay attention to the details. Yeah, which was cool. And I'm hearing from you sort of the same thing, which is great, but, but then you went to college, and you majored in what you did, and so did you work in the museum part of the time while you were in college?   Kay Thompson ** 27:31 Well, what happened is, I had an art history teacher who just took a, I guess, a liking to me, because I was very enthusiastic about what I did, because I love what I did. And I had a writing background, because I had a mother who was an English teacher. So all my life, I was constantly being edited. So I came in with pretty good grammar and pretty good way to I had a writing I had a talent for writing in a way that the academic were looking for, that art history kind of so I knew how to write that way, and she hired me to help her. She was a professor that did, you know, lectures, and she hired me, paid me out of her own salary, kind of like a work study. And so I worked for her about 20 hours a week, just filing slides and, you know, helping her with whatever she needed, because she was the chair of the department. So that was a great opportunity. I was able to work with her and and maybe feel good to know if somebody thought, you know enough of you know what I did to to hire me, and feel like I I could contribute, and that I was trusted to be able to handle some of these things. I mean, you know, and I don't know how difficult it is to file slides, but you know, when it teacher wants to do a lecture, and back then they were these little, small, little, you know, square slides. Square slides drop into the projector, right? And she's looking for, you know, the temple of Nike. You know, she wants to find it in order. You know, you pull that slide and you put it in your projector, right, carousel, right, yes, yes. So that's what I did, and it was great. I loved it. I learned college. I loved I loved the college atmosphere. I loved being in that vein, and I think I really found my niche when I was when I went to Rutgers in Camden.   Michael Hingson ** 29:48 Well, there's a history lesson sports fans, because now, of course, it's all PowerPoint. But back then, as Kay is describing it, when you wanted to project things you had. Slides. So they were pictures, they were films, and they were all these little squares, maybe two inches square, and you put them in a carousel, and you put them in the projector, and every time you push the button, it would go to the next slide, or you could go back the other way. So PowerPoint is only making it a little bit more electronic, but the same concept is still there. So there, there I dealt with slides. So after college, you, you did time at the university, at the museum, I gather,   Kay Thompson ** 30:31 okay. So what happened with the museum after I graduated from college, immediately I moved to New Jersey, yeah, you know, right? I'm gonna say probably about six months, six months to a year before college, is when my first husband died, and then after I graduated, um, I moved to New Jersey first. Where did you graduate from? Again, Rutgers University in Camden. Okay, so   Michael Hingson ** 30:59 that's New Jersey so you, but after college, you moved,   Kay Thompson ** 31:03 I moved to Georgia, Georgia that   Michael Hingson ** 31:06 that makes more sense. Okay, okay,   Kay Thompson ** 31:08 okay, sorry, yeah, so I moved to Georgia, and immediately, when we came to Georgia, you know my I came with a gentleman who I married shortly after, I moved to Georgia and we opened a art gallery. We were entrepreneurs. We came because, you know, there was, we felt like there was more opportunity in Georgia for small business owners, or would be potential small business owners, or people who wanted to realize their dream. And we know that in Georgia now, I don't know if you know this, but Georgia is a great place for entrepreneurs, so definitely better than where I was at the time. So we packed the U haul and just threw everything in there and came to Atlanta. Now my the gentleman who would be my husband. So I just say my husband now, then he, he had a sister here, so we visited first with her, and that's how we got to really see the scene, check out the scene, and then we came back and moved and found our own place and everything like that. So but when we came, I opened it, I had an art gallery for about a year or so, little bit longer and but that didn't work out. Didn't, you know, just, you know, some things you tried. Just yeah, just didn't work. But then my husband and now just FYI for you, this person, the second person, I married, the second man. He passed away too, but that was in 2008 but so he's my late husband too. So I have two, two husbands that passed away. One was the first one was much younger, and my second husband. We were married for 16 years. This is early on in our relationship. We he he opened a brass outlet, a just all kinds of beautiful black brass vases and animals and just anything brass you wanted. But also, after I shut down the museum I had or the gallery, it was an art gallery, I moved my pieces into his brass outlet, and there I was able to kind of display them and sell them. We had pieces that range from, you know, $25 to $500 so we I found a little space there that I could do my work. So it was a nice little coupling.   Michael Hingson ** 33:43 Yeah, I'm with you. Uh huh. So so you, you have obviously moved on from from doing a lot of that, because now you have other endeavors, as we mentioned at the beginning, being a minister, an entrepreneur, an author and so on. So how did you transition from just doing art to doing some of the things that you do today?   Kay Thompson ** 34:18 Okay, so what happened is when I came to and I guess this is the really, deeply more personal aspect of it all, when, when I came to Atlanta again, my my first husband had passed away. He committed suicide. Yeah, so when I came to Atlanta, my second husband and I were not yet married, and all I knew is that I wanted the relationship not to be the way the first one was, in a sense of. I I didn't want to go through that specific kind of trauma again and and not that the the two gentlemen were similar. They were very different people. My second husband was a very confident, very strong willed, you know, type of a person, but the trauma and my first husband, he had his own strength in, you know, but there's something that happens when you decide, you know, to end your life. Yeah, I wanted to make sure that I had some sort of support, divine support, because the going through something like that, and when I say something like that, not only am I talking about the suicide, but the fact that he was On we were on the phone together when this happened, so and then just dealing with everything that happened around it, you can imagine someone feeling a little bit insecure, unsure. So I really began to seek God for that relationship that I know would sustain me. I had grown up, you know, my parents grew up, they brought us to church. You know, I wouldn't say my parents were they weren't ministers, but they were active in whatever church they went to, and they made sure that we went to church every Sunday, even the Vacation Bible School. I can remember that in New Jersey, I remember, you know, them just being a very, very involved. My my parents. My mother was a singer, so she sang a lot in the choir, lot of solos. My father was a deacon. They both became elders, and elders, meaning they were just senior members of ministry. Because elder in the I'm in a non denominational ministry now, but elder is another way of saying a ordained male Minister their particular denomination, an elder was, you know, almost you might want to say like a trustee, so, but they were root, they they were they were integral to their church, And they were really foundational members. And so I just remember that impact on my life, and so I needed to make sure I had that grounding, and I knew I didn't have it because I was doing any and everything I wanted to do. You know, one of the reasons my my second husband, said, You know, he, I was the one for him, is because we had a drinking competition and I beat him, you know, we were taking shots, and I beat him. And so, you know that that was something that, you know, he said, Oh, you're, you know, girl, you're the one for me. And so that was our life, running, you know, we did a lot of. We entertained. We, you know, we did a lot of partying, as you say, a lot of having a great time. We were living our best life, right? So I knew I wasn't living a life that I could tell, Hey, God, see my life, Aren't you proud? It wasn't that life I was living. I wasn't, you know, doing biblical things. I wasn't living life, right? So I needed to make sure when I came to New Jersey, I mean, when I came to Atlanta from New Jersey with this gentleman that I had not yet married, I said, Lord, you know, help me make the right decision. And I'd say we could be moved to to Georgia in it's something like January, February. Okay, we got married about two months later, and then a month after that, I was pregnant with my daughter. So things being that, it happened very fast. But one thing about it is, of course, when you're pregnant, as a woman, you know, you can't do this. I couldn't do the things that I was doing before, right? The partying, smoking, the drinking, all of that, you know, for the sake of the child. You know, you just can't do it. So I went through a terrible withdrawal. Yeah, it was, it was pretty bad and and the only refuge I had was the church. So that's how I really got into the church. And once I got into the church, I had, I had been in the church before I had made a decision. Decision when I was about, I'm going to say about five, five or six years prior to that, I had given my life to the Lord. I had, you know, come into a relationship with the Lord, but life happened, and I got out of it. You know, I quickly kind of got out of it. And so for many years, I was just doing my own thing. So again, when, when, when we came to Georgia, I got pregnant, got married, going through with the withdrawals. I just, you know, I just went back into the church, uh, rekindled that relationship. Or, or the Bible says that he, he, he's with loving kindness. Has he drawn you? So he really drew me back based on my need. And so I came back to the church and got really, really involved in ministry. And as I got involved, I just kind of threw myself into it, because I could not do the previous things I did. And then even after I had my my second child, it's a daughter, so I have a son and a daughter, I had to live a life that was good for   Michael Hingson ** 41:05 them. And what did your husband think of all that?   Kay Thompson ** 41:09 Oh, yeah. Well, first he thought I had joined a cult. Okay, yeah, that's so that was his first impression. So he came to the church because he wanted to see who these cult members were that were drawing away his wife. And when he came, he got kind of hooked to the church, yeah? But our our faith was never at the same level. You know? He came because of me. I came because of of God, right? And I don't know if he ever really, I don't think he ever really got to that level that I did, where I was just gung ho. Everything was, you know, I was a Jesus girl. I was a holy roller, you know. And he did it for us. He did it for, you know, task sake, because he was a task oriented person. But he came, he came to be a very like my parents. He came to be very important part of the church. He was a deacon. He was faithful. He loved our leaders. He served with faith and integrity. But when it came to that, you know, deep seated personal relationship with God, where you know God, I just give you everything you know that that was mine. That was what I did. So we differed in that respect, yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 42:35 well, well, hopefully though, in in the long run, you said he's passed. I assume it was not a suicide.   Kay Thompson ** 42:45 No, no,   Michael Hingson ** 42:46 Ben that he is. He is moving on in that faith. So that's a hopeful   Kay Thompson ** 42:53 thing. Yeah, I believe he is. He had congestive heart failure and he passed away. And, yeah, I believe he he's now at rest, enjoying his rest. Yes, there   Michael Hingson ** 43:06 you go. So when did he pass in 2008 Okay, so that was 17 years ago. Okay, yep, well, so you were very involved in the church. And I suppose in some senses, it's probably a question that is reasonably obvious, but then I'll still ask, how did you get into the ministry from being very heavily involved in church, and when did that happen?   Kay Thompson ** 43:38 Okay, so one day our church. You know, the churches we have depending on, I guess, your faith or leaders do in the beginning of each year, we have a 21 day consecration, which we do in January, throughout the month of January. You know they might say, okay, 21 for 21 days. Read these scriptures, and we're going to fast from, you know, sweets, meats, or, you know, whatever the directive is. And so we was in a 21 day fast, and that was at my home one day. It was in the middle of the night, and I distinctly heard a call to preach. And that's really how the it all began. I mean, I knew, you know, the Bible says that, you know, even with Jeremiah and Jeremiah one, he says, Before the foundation, you know, before your mother and your father, you know, were together, I have already called you. I already ordained you. So I heard this call to preach, very distinct call, and at that point, I told my pastor, and from that point, I was kind of groomed, and as time went on, I was given more responsibility. Uh, you know, praying, or every now and then, preaching, doing Bible study. The next thing I know, I took my licensing exam, I was licensed, and then after that, I went through ordination, and I was ordained, and that's how it really began. And it was something I really took to heart, because I didn't want to disappoint God again. I didn't want to backslide again. Because, you know, I strongly believed in the faith, and I believe in the faith, and I believe in the power of Jesus, and I didn't want to be that person that Okay. Today I'm going to be faithful to the God and to His Word. But then, you know, then on the next day, you know, you're finding me, you know, yeah, in the liquor store, or, you know, this, doing this, or, you know, in the club. I didn't want to be that person. Yeah, I was, I was sincere, and I was very gung ho, and I wanted to live out this life. I wanted to see what the calling was going to be in my life. And I loved ministry. I loved the word, because I was already an art historian. So I loved history. And so the Bible is all you know, it's something history. It's history. Yeah, it's relevant. History to me, it's alive and active, sure. So it was perfect. It was a perfect pairing for me, and that that's really been my pursuit many these years.   Michael Hingson ** 46:37 So when did you become a minister?   Kay Thompson ** 46:41 Actually, when I, when I was telling you about that fast and when I heard the word preach, essentially when I heard that word preach between me and God, that was when I became a minister. Time wise. When was that time wise? Okay, that was probably 94 Okay. I Yeah, all right.   Michael Hingson ** 47:00 So you were, you were clearly a preacher during a lot of the time with your your second husband, and so on, and, and I am so glad that he at least did explore and and and learn so much. So that's a that's a cool thing. But you've also done some other things. You deal with real estate, you're a TV show host, you're an author and well, business owner, yeah, but I want to, I want to learn more about some of those. But what kind of challenges have you faced in the ministry?   Kay Thompson ** 47:42 Yeah. I would say some of the challenges are, you know, when you're in ministry, you have to preach or get yourself prepared for going before the people. It can be a very lonely lifestyle, yeah, yeah, even, even if you're married, even if you have children, it could still be a lonely and and demanding in its own right, because there is a mandate over your life to live and not according to what you see trending now. And, you know, when I, when I first got started in ministry there, the Internet was not the way it is now. No, no, definitely. Because, I mean, it was in 2000 that I got ordained. And I'm going to say the ministry had been, you know, it was just really starting to, I don't know you guess, she said, make waves. That's when all of the big evangelists were coming out, like, you know, the TD Jakes, the Paula white and the Benny Hinn and the Juanita Biden. That is around that time when those generation of preachers were really at the forefront, correct, low dollar and, you know, Bishop, Carlton, Pearson and Rod Parsley and all these, these names. That's when it really began to really pick up steam. And so that was the error that I started off in. And you wanted to be a person. You wanted to be relevant, but at the same token, you just trying to find that balance between family and ministry and and regular life. You know, can sometimes be really challenging, and I had to learn a lot about the order of things. You know, first it's God, then it's family, and then it's ministry. That's the order. But a lot of times we mix up God and ministry. So what we think is, you know, and. Aspect of things that we think that are God, that are actually ministry, and they supersede your family. That's where you know you can really run into some trouble. So that balance between those different aspects of my life, it was difficult, and then as a person who had a a more a prophetic, a revelatory call. On top of that, God is showing you things about people, about, you know, situations that you don't necessarily ask to know about, you know. And the Bible says, you know, with much knowledge can often come sorrow, you know. And that's when you begin to see God really unveiling and revealing things about people and about yourself. Because you have to be able to, you have to be able to look at yourself and not get too self righteous, right? If God is showing you these things. But in the same token, you don't want to, you know, you say, Okay, God, you're showing me this. What do you want me to do with this? And you know, somebody else might say, Okay, you need to go tell that person what God showed you. You know, I saw you doing this. You better stop, you know, doing this. And then, you know, so busy pointing the finger. Yeah, but you have to remember, you know, and it's, it may be cliches, but you've got three pointing back at you. And so there is, you know, you you've gotta be able to stay humble and yet still balance your family and still, you know, uh, not think yourself to be more than what you are, and yet realize that God has called you to do more in ministry than the average person. So yeah, it can be challenging, but I wouldn't change it for anything.   Michael Hingson ** 51:55 It can be a challenge, but at the same time, you clearly were called to do it, and you work at keeping perspective, and I think that's the important thing, which goes back to college, which helped you learn a lot of discipline, and you get to use that discipline in a different way, perhaps, than you right, you figured out in college. But discipline is discipline, yeah. Well, how did you then get into something like the media and start being a TV show host and those kinds of things?   Kay Thompson ** 52:26 Yeah, so I have a wonderful, wonderful pastor who really takes time to work with their their members and find out what your gifts are, what your talents are, and use them. And so I So, let's just say so I was an artist. Okay, bottom line, I was a sculptor, painter, award winning painter, by the way. Let me just tell you now, you know the first or second painting I did, I entered it into a contest at the college, and I won an award, so I had a gift for this design, but in my time we were transitioning to graphic design, graphic design became the big thing, and I never had if I had the aptitude to do computer science, which, bless his soul, my beautiful son is a computer scientist, right, you know, but that gene, this, that gene, skip right on over me. I was not the math person, and when you said physicist, I said, Hmm, that that, you know, that gene just, just totally went around me,   Michael Hingson ** 53:41 yeah, so you don't know anything about 32 feet per second squared anyway, no,   Kay Thompson ** 53:45 I'm about to say, I trust you, whatever you say, you know, and it's the funny thing is, my father was a mathematician, my older brother was a chemical engineer, and Me, you know that I struggle just to pass geometry. Okay, so no, I was the artsy person.   Michael Hingson ** 54:07 Um, that's fine, but I was, yeah. How'd that get you to the media?   Kay Thompson ** 54:12 Yeah, so I was going to say, so, the combination what happened is my pastor knew a pastor who was looking for a part time job, looking for someone to have a part time job, because he had a he had his own publishing company in his house. He at the time he was he published a book that we talked about church growth. And this was at the time when the Purpose Driven Life, The Purpose Driven Life was a purpose driven church came out. It was a huge success. And he the same thing happened with him here in Atlanta, but no publishing company wanted to take. Make his story, because that's the, you know, the whole the society was inundated with this purpose driven church, you know, it was already written about. It was already done. They didn't want his story. So he decided to create his own publishing company, and it was in the basement of his mansion, and he was looking for someone to be the secretary. So I came in that I was, it was a friend of a friend of friend. They hired me, and I started working for him as a as a secretary. And then they would bring these books over, and he would, you know, send them out to be edited, and then bring them back. And then I would have to mail it out to the to the printer and one of the books one day, and I saw it, and I noticed there were still typos in it. I said, Sir, there's still typos in your book. Oh, really, yeah. And he had already paid this person $1,000 so I went back through it, found all these typos, and that's how I got into publishing, publishing my own books and and everything like that. But then one day, my pastor said, Hey, Kay, why don't you do a radio show? I was like, okay, sure, right, because I had met so many people in ministry from doing their books. So I called the radio station, the local am station, and I said, Hey, how much does it cost to do a show, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I was sponsored by my pastor and some other people, and I started a 30 minute show every week. It was called personalities, profiles and perspectives, the three teams, and I would interview people, gospel artists, pastors, you know, just politicians, you know, just people. I would reach out to them. Next thing I know, I got hired by a station in another station in Atlanta. It was called wg, I don't know if you remember, well, you, you probably don't, because you're not from Atlanta, right? But it was W G, U N, 10:10am, in Atlanta, the biggest am station aside from WSB radio, which is WSB 750 the major news network, right? WGN, 1010. Was a huge station, and I got hired by them. I was a DJ. It was a gospel station, and I ended up being the program director, and did a lot of, you know, voiceovers. I did shows, I did production. That's how I got into radio. And I loved it. I loved radio. I loved anything to do with media. It was just I knew it. I got bit with the bug when they opened up that hot mic. That was it. I was in my element. So that's how I got into radio. And then you went to TV. And then I went to TV, yeah, went to TV. Well, what happened is, I was writing books, and there is a station here in Atlanta, W ATC TV 57 and they interview people all over, actually, all over the country. You can come from wherever we know, we've had big names, you know, all kinds of people and local people. And that's one thing about it, is that local people in ministry could go there. They could sing, if they were music artists, they could, you know, talk about their books, talk about their ministry. And so I went on and talked about my book, and next thing I know, I got called in to be a host, and so I've been hosting now for about five years. Wow. You know, on and off. You know, the the show has different hosts each, and I do a couple of times a month. Okay, I'll actually be on there shortly, again in a few days. So   Michael Hingson ** 58:57 tell us about your books. You've mentioned books several times. Did you publish your own books? Okay, so tell us about your books.   Kay Thompson ** 59:06 So yeah, the first four books, well, I've done I've had four books which were on prophecy. The the main title is prophecy in the 21st Century. And then I did four different volumes. The first one was the role of prophecy in the new millennium. And basically that one was written in, I'm going to say around 2012 somewhere about 2012 and it talks about the relevance of prophecy with regard to the millennial generation, and how this you can help steer direct and go alongside millennial mindset, millennial and many millennial aspects of this generation. And then the second book was also the set under the same volume, the same name. Prophecy in the 21st Century, the role of and the second the first one is the role of prophecy in the new millennium. The second one was prophetic healing. And prophetic healing talks about prophecy and healing in the Bible and how prophetic people who operate in the prophetic can help bring forth, healing, societal, healing, relational, healing, physical, healing, financial. And then the third one was about prophetic women. And these are women in the Bible that had a prophetic calling, not necessarily called a prophetess, but display those characteristics of women that operate in Revelation and that sort of gift. And then the fourth one was called the leadership mandate, and it talks about leader and how leaders navigate in the prophetic arena and the characteristics that people ought to have, and leaders in the Bible that also operated in that revelation or that. And then the last book I wrote was called the 30 names, or not the but 30 Names of God, because there are so many more names that God is known by. But I chose 30 names that really stood out to me as what God has called. You know Jehovah Gabor. You know the warrior one fights for us. You know Jehovah Jireh, of course, we know that's our provider. Mm, hmm, Jehovah Rapha, our healer. So I found 30 names that really stood out to me, and I spoke about those in that book. So those are the books that I have, and then I've got another book that will be coming out within the next year, and and it is about healing. So those are my books, and I've published those books. And not only do I, I didn't start off publishing my own books. I started off publishing for other people, right? Because the more I worked in that field, the more I found that I could do better financially if I did it myself. Yeah, so and I, and I, one thing about it is that as a result of being an artist, that the graphic design, computer graphics, came really easy to me, I'll bet. So, yeah, so someone could hand me a manuscript. I had the editing skills right for my mother. So I could edit your book. I could create the design. I could format it. I You. Hand me your manuscript, I hand you back your finished product. So for me, you know, the cheapest person that you know, I pay the least amount because so I can publish as many books as I could write, probably, you know, but that's how I really got started doing that, and then I began to do it for other people, other leaders, other pastors, friends, you know, just people that want that service. I provide that service. And so that's how that really got started.   Michael Hingson ** 1:03:12 Now we don't have a lot of time, but I just curious. You also do something in real estate.   Kay Thompson ** 1:03:19 I do, yeah, I I got my license in 2005 and maybe one year, maybe one year, and then I got out of it right away. Life happened, and then I came back in 2022, and began to did it full time. And so I love it. I love real estate. Right now I'm in residential, but I do some commercial, and the ultimate goal is to do mostly commercial and to have a space. The goal for commercial is to really help others entrepreneurs who are interested in having businesses offline, giving them an opportunity to have a space that is little to nothing, and that's one of the ways that I really want to give back, is to be able to offer that opportunity for people out there to help others to achieve that same goal. And so I believe in entrepreneur. I've been an entrepreneur for 17 years now. So, yeah, have a heart for that. So I want to see other people get through that challenge and be successful. So, and I know it takes money,   Michael Hingson ** 1:04:37 but in real estate helps.   Kay Thompson ** 1:04:39 It definitely helps. Yeah? Well, real estate is constantly going up, you know, even if the market is down and even if finances are down, real estate is something that is immovable,   Michael Hingson ** 1:04:52 so go back up.   Speaker 1 ** 1:04:54 Yeah, yeah, for sure, and   Michael Hingson ** 1:04:57 you clearly enjoy everything that you're.

Hay coches que crean adicción. Coches que, los pruebas, y quieres uno. Y no, no me refiero a coches exclusivos, carísimos y-o de elevadísimo precio. Me refiero a coches que van tan bien, con los que sientes una sintonía tan especial, con los que disfrutas tanto de su conducción que no te quieres bajar y cuando te bajas gritas… ¡necesito este coche! He hecho listados de todo tipo pero este es único… no sé si para bien o para mal. Eso lo tenéis que decir vosotros. Os traigo una colección de coches de lo que me baje pensando “necesito este coche”” … A propósito, no he metido coches de los últimos 20 años… me he centrado en coches asequibles que se pueden calificar entre “viejos” o ya clásicos. 1. VW Golf GTi MKII (1984). Recuerdo que fui a la presentación de este coche, apenas había recorrido 1 km y le dije al colega que me acompañaba: “Pero ¡qué bien va este coche!” Me miro sorprendido y me dijo: “¡Si has hecho apenas un km!” y le respondí: Suficiente. 2. Renault 5 GT Turbo (1985). Sencillamente, el mejor R5 deportivo que jamás Renault había hecho. Su evolución conocida FASEII ofrecía 5 CV más, algunos detalles, unas llantas muy bonitas y, sobre todo, un bastidor mucho más finado… una maravilla. Me quise comprar uno, pero ¡están carísimos! 3. Volvo 240 Polar (1985). Nos invitaron a hacer un viaje desde Madrid a Asturias en este coche por carreteras secundarias… Y me encantó. Disfrute mucho este coche y pensé que me encantaría tener uno… 4. Citroën Visa GTi 115 CV (1986). Un “patito feo” que me enamoró no tanto a primera vista sino a medida que pasaban los kilómetros. Este coche era el resultado de “meter” por las bravas el motor y el tren delantero del Peugeot 206 GTi en el Visa. 5. Alfa Romeo 75 V6 América (1987). Hay coche que enamoran por la vista… y otros por el oído. 6. BMW 318is E30 (1989). El 318is, con un ligero motor de 1.796 cm3, 16 válvulas y 140 CV conseguía que el coche fuese rápido y, sobre todo, muy equilibrado, Desde luego este coche era y es un coche “redondo”. 7. Saab 900 Aero Turbo 16s (1989). Me gustan los coches con personalidad. Y este 900 la tenía a raudales: Parabrisa estilo carlinga, muy vertical pero muy curvo, puerta que “muerden” el suelo, llave de contacto entre los asientos, tracción delantera con una estabilidad a toda prueba… 8. BMW 328i E36 (1990). Otro coche que me cautivo desde el primer día. Me cautivo como iba el motor, suave, rápido, potente con sus 193 CV, con un bastidor muy afinado y en la versión coupé, una estética impresionante. Además, el puesto de conducción de BMW sigue destacando hoy día, pero entonces lo hacía más, y la calidad era inusual. 9. Honda Civic V Generación 125 CV (1991). Probé Civic VTi de la Quinta Generación con motor 1.6 y 160 CV y poco después me dejaron el de 125 CV, sí, con 35 CV menos, pero más suave, más económico de consumo, más barato… y pensé que ese podía ser mi coche… 10. Citroën Berlingo (1996). Era un enamorado de la C15, como algunos de vosotros sabéis el primer coche del que publique una prueba. Así que bajé a probar el nuevo Berlingo con ciertas reticencias… que se acabaron completamente cuando llegue a mi casa unos 30 km más tarde... entonces vivía lejos. 11. SEAT Ibiza CUPRA (1996). ¡Que buenos eran los chicos de Seat Sport! Les pidieron hacer un Ibiza deportivo e hicieron esta joya, con motor 2.0 litros 16 válvulas de 150 CV y un chasis afinadísimo que hacía al coche una verdadera máquina de hacer curvas. 12. Seat León Cupra R (2003). Este modelo tiene un bastidor afinado y una maravilla de motor de 1.781 cm3, con 20 válvulas, sí 20, 5 por cilindros, inyección, turbo e Intercooler, con lo cual alcanza nada menos que 224 CV para un peso de unos 1.300 kg… una verdadera máquina. 12+1. Suzuki Jimny 1.5 DDIS (2006). Tuve uno… ¡qué maravilla! Uno de los mejores coches que he tenido, con un coste de mantenimiento irrisorio, jamás dio un problema y eso a pesar de que hizo muchos kilómetros por campo, por ciudad, por supuesto por carreteras, fue el primer coche que condujeron mis hijos… y nunca, jamás, dio el más mínimo problema. Conclusión. Estos son los elegidos, pero si me pongo a pensar y a hojear revistas, seguro que hay más. ¿Cuáles son los vuestros? Coche del día. Esta sección me da la oportunidad para escoger otros más, el excepcional Renault Clio Williams, un coche que la marca lanzó para homologar muchas novedades en competición y que resultó ser un verdadero éxito. Me sedujo en cuanto lo probé, en circuito aún más y más tarde trate de comprarme uno… y sus precios son prohibitivos. Se ve que es un coche que no solo me ha enamorado a mí.

Un coche que te avisa cuando te estás quedando dormido. Un cerebro que decide comer helado aunque sepas que no deberías. Y una pregunta imposible: ¿quién tiene más sistemas, tú o el Volvo EX90? En este episodio, Álvaro Carmona —bioquímico, doctor en Medicina Molecular, profesor universitario y creador de SdeSiensia— es un auténtico pionero a la hora de divulgar, con humor e ingenio, las cuestiones más científicas de nuestro cuerpo y de cómo vivimos.

Vodičák som nechcel, dnes mám Defender. Ale Land Cruiser Tybykemu závidíme všetci, hovorí v rozhovore Tomáš Yxo Dohňanský z kapely Hex.Z otvárania kilometrových úsekov diaľnic cítim smiech a plač, hovorí Tomášom Yxo Dohňanský z Hexu. Nedokončená diaľnica do Košíc je úplná hanba tejto republiky, tvrdí.Ďuro Sabo sa v novej epizóde podcastu venuje aj praktickým radám pre vodičov, vrátane bezpečnosti obuvi za volantom, pričom upozorňuje na rozdiely v legislatíve v rôznych krajinách a potenciálne dôsledky nesprávnej obuvi pri nehode. Dozviete sa aj o inovatívnom prístupe k turizmu na Faerských ostrovoch, kde si turisti môžu prenajať auto s prekvapivou navigáciou k neznámym lokálnym atrakciám, čím sa podporuje objavovanie menej známych miest.A aby sme nezabudli, hexákom gratulujeme k 35 rokom stráveným na cestách za svojimi fanúšikmi!Rozhovor s Yxom z kapely Hex: Máme radi dobré kvalitné autá, no hlavne bezpečnéPočas rozhovoru Yxo šoféroval auto a mal namierené na festival Grape. Prvá otázka tak vyplynula celkom prirodzene:Je to tak, že na koncerty jazdíte každý člen kapely sám? Nie, nie, toto je veľká výnimka, lebo ideme tak individuálne aj kvôli tomu, že s niektorými chalanmi idú ženy, deti a každý ideme svojím autom na Grape, lebo budeme sa aj tak rôzne pohybovať, ale ináč chodíme vždy a v zásade jednou veľkou dodávkou, kde je celá aparatúra a aj s technikmi chalanmi. A druhá dodávka je plná veselých muzikantov.Ako vyzerá taká jazda s Hexom? Počúvate, rozprávate sa alebo ste ticho alebo si čítate alebo čo?Máme výborného šoféra nášho Iľju. Takže my teda môžeme si robiť, čo chceme v tom aute, ale už je to naozaj trošku kľudnejšie. Teraz samozrejme, že sú tam nejaké rozhovory o filmoch, o knihách, o hocičom. Potom kľudne si niekto pozrie film, niekto si vypočuje hudbu, ale hudbu ako takú, že spoločne moc nepočúvame v tom aute. Skôr sa rozprávame alebo sa venujeme každý tomu, čo chce a tak ďalej a tak ďalej. Takže je to taká kombinácia hlavne na tých dlhých tých cestách.Kto je z vašej kapely taký najväčší fanúšik do áut?Vieš čo, my to máme tak, mám pocit s tými autami, že my ich máme naozaj ako také, že dopravné prostriedky. Nepobadal som, že by niekto bol taký ten autíčkár, že by presne vedel, že čo kde ako a tuningy a takéto veci. Ale tak máme radi dobré autá, máme radi kvalitné autá a máme radi hlavne bezpečné autá.Na čom jazdí Hex?Idem od rytmickej sekcie. Tybyke má Toyotu Land Cruiser, takú veľmi starú, ale fantastické auto. Normálne mu ho všetci závidíme. On tam má normálne ešte kazeťák. Potom Sharkan má Volvo 90-kové. Fefe má Lexus, ale neviem aký typ, lebo ja sa v týchto japonských autách nevyznám. Náš Lacko má tuším, že Nissan nejaký. To je náš gitarista. Ja jazdím na Land Rover Defender.To je celkom pekná zbierka. A keď idete teraz spolu, tak to velikánske auto, to je aké? No to technické, myslím, že nejaký najväčší Renault, čo vyrábajú s takým ložným priestorom plus miesta pre päť ľudí a my chodíme Mercedesom Viano alebo Vito. Také také čierne také pekné auto. Také ako sa vozia hollywoodske hviezdy.Super. Dobre, poďme na sekundu ešte k tebe. Ty si spomínaš na akom aute si robil skúšky na vodičák? Spomínam si úplne presne, lebo som mal veľmi prísneho učiteľa a to ti bola taká, že Škoda Felicia, taká taká ešte staré auto, také, ešte tam nebola ani klimatizácia, ani nič. No Škoda Felicia proste.Vypočujte si celý rozhovor.V podcaste sa dozviete sa aj to, aký má Yxo názor na slovenské cesty, akú kritiku adresu slovenským vládam za...

A 52 ans, Carolijn Brouwer est une figure emblématique de la course au large et de la voile légère. Actuellement membre de l'équipage Holcim-PRB engagé dans The Ocean Race Europe, elle compte en effet à son actif trois participations à la Volvo Ocean Race (désormais The Ocean Race), dont une victoire avec Dongfeng Race Team en 2018 aux côtés de Charles Caudrelier, un moment "inoubliable". La Belgo-Néerlandaise, qui, auparavant, a disputé trois fois les Jeux Olympiques sur trois supports et pour deux pays différents et a été élue deux fois Marin féminine de l'année par World Sailing, à vingt ans d'intervalle (1998 et 2018), raconte que c'est sa participation à la Volvo 2014-2015 avec l'équipe 100% féminine de Team SCA qui lui a "ouvert beaucoup de portes" et permis aujourd'hui d'être une navigatrice aussi expérimentée que convoitée lorsqu'il s'agit de monter des équipages de large. Une belle récompense pour celle qui a grandi au Brésil et tiré ses premiers bords dans la baie de Rio, et parle six langues, dont le français, parfaitement. La preuve dans ce premier épisode de la saison 4 de Navigantes.Navigantes est animé par Hélène Cougoule et produit par Tip & Shaft.Diffusé le 20 Août 2025Post production : Grégoire LevillainGénérique : All the summer girlsHébergé par Ausha.

Uno de vosotros me dijo, con cierta sorna, “¡que listo eres, ¿no te equivocabas nunca?” ¡Claro que me equivoco! Para que veáis que no me escondo os traigo varias ocasiones en la que de una manera u otra o bien me pase de listo o bien, directamente, metí la pata. Os garantizo una cosa: Os vais a reír. La idea de este video es de uno de nuestros miembros, Marco Martínez, así que espero que le guste. Y es un vídeo muy del estilo de los que hacemos en el canal de Miembros. No es lo mismo pasarse de listo que meter la pata. Lo primero supone creerte mejor de lo que eres y lo segundo, simplemente, equivocarte. En mi opinión es peor lo primero que lo segundo. En este vídeo hay situaciones de los dos tipos, pero…. peeeero, debo confesarlo, son más las ocasiones en las que me pasé de listo que aquellas en las que me equivoqué… os dejo juzgar a vosotros, pero os doy mi opinión. Os muestro varias de mis “vergüenzas” … sed compasivos. Pero aquí os las desgrano, si queréis conocerlas… tendréis que ver el vídeo… Exclusiva: Ford ¿Fiesta? Cabrio. Era mediados de agosto, si no me equivoco de 1983. No había jefes, no había servicio de prensa en las marcas, no había nada en la “nevera”, que es como llamamos a los periodistas a ese cajón en el que metemos cosas por si vienen más dadas. Espionaje fallido… pero no del todo. En los tiempos en que era director técnico de la, entonces, mejor revista semanal… no digo que ahora no lo sea, es que ahora no la leo, tenía amigos hasta en el infierno. Citroën ZX Volcane: Diésel en vez de gasolina. Tenía prisa. Mucha prisa. Acababa de llegar al aeropuerto y de una presentación y me esperaba un compañero en un flamante Citroën ZX Volcane 1.9 de 130 CV rojo, precioso. Presentación de Renault… ¿o era de Volvo? Como director técnico una de mis responsabilidades era gestionar la agenda de todo lo que tenía que ver con presentaciones, viajes, coches de prueba, etc. Y me jactaba de hacerlo bien. Pero metí la pata. Las mejores ruedas ¿delante o detrás? Ya os lo digo yo antes de empezar: Me pasé de listo. En caso de poner a un coche dos ruedas nuevas yo recomendaba, sobre todo en coches de tracción delantera, ponerla delante, donde va la dirección, la tracción y la mayor parte del freno… Fiat Tipo: Anticiparse demasiado no es bueno. En mi época de jefe de pruebas iba “a saco” quería ser el primero en todo. En junio del 98 el Fiat Tipo iba a lanzarse en Italia y apenas uno o dos meses después, se lanzaba en España. Citroën AX sobre hielo: De primero a casi último. El Citroën AX tuvo versión de tracción total. Y no, no me refiero a los de competición, como el “1000 pistas” sino al modesto modelo con motor de 1.360 cm3 y 75 CV, un coche inspirado en el Panda 4x4 y destinado como él, sobre todo, a las estaciones de esquí. Opel Astra: Me salvo Eduardo. El Kadett era un coche excepcional, pero frente al Golf, su eterno rival, pecaba de un bastidor algo menos eficiente, lo que se hacía más evidente en las versiones más potentes, las GSi de 8 y 16 válvulas. Conclusión. ¡Acabamos! porque Rodrigo no me deja más tiempo… casi mejor, porque si os gusta el tema puede haber una segunda entrega… porque mi capacidad para equivocarme y-o meterme en líos es prodigiosa… Coche del día. ¿Por qué no ese pequeño AX 5 puertas con 75 CV y tracción total? Te aseguro que, por su escaso peso, como el Panda, es el rey de la nieve… no me importaría tener una cada en una estación de esquí… y este coche en la puerta.

Chaque vendredi du 25 juillet au 15 août, Tip & Shaft vous propose sa série estivale baptisée Un été post Vendée Globe, l'occasion d'écouter ou de réécouter les récits de skippers ayant participé à la 10e édition. Quatrième et dernier invité, Sébastien Marsset, arrivé en 27e position. Écoutez-le dans ce 117e épisode d'Into The Wind, enregistré le 5 mai 2025, peu de temps après le retour de son Vendée Globe.--Il disposait probablement du plus petit budget de cette édition du Vendée Globe : 900 000 € au total pour les trois saisons et la course, qu'il termine en 27e position, après un peu plus de 91 jours de mer. Pas question pour Sébastien Marsset, malgré ces bouts de ficelles, de renoncer à la régate : d'où le concept de "sobriété performante" revendiqué par le Nantais, né à Paris voilà un peu plus de 40 ans.Formé sur le tas, à l'école de l'habitable et du convoyage, d'abord, à l'Ecole nationale de voile où il passe son brevet d'Etat, ensuite, il se lance, après de nombreuses régates en équipage, dans le circuit mini : 4 saisons d'apprentissage, avant d'être recruté comme petite main chez Groupama, pour des coups de main techniques ponctuels. Toujours dispo, toujours candidat, il finit par être embarqué comme technicien et navigateur de moins de 30 ans remplaçant d pour la Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012 remportée par l'équipe de Franck Cammas.Le solide gaillard, connu pour son impact physique et son engagement, change de dimension, le téléphone se met à sonner : l'équipe Spindrift l'appelle pour naviguer sur l'ex Maxi Trimaran Banque Populaire, puis c'est Alvimedica qui l'engage pour la Volvo 2014-2015 - où il court, cette fois, toutes les étapes sauf une - avant de retourner boucler un Trophée Jules Verne avec Spindrift, sans parler des circuits GC32 et match racing avec l'équipage de Yann Guichard.Il passe ensuite au solo en Claass40 mais doit abandonner le Rhum 2018, enchaîne avec la Solitaire l'année suivante avant d'être recruté par Romain Attanasio sur son projet Imoca. C'est là que son projet de Vendée Globe prend corps, un peu ralenti par le Covid l'année suivante. En 2021, il accomplit une nouvelle saison avec Romain Attanasio, sur l'ex-Malizia, goûtant au foiler, mais il est temps de voler de ses propres ailes en Imoca : en 2022, il achète l'ancien Delta Dore à Erik Nigon et se lance dans les qualifs du Vendée Globe, montant une petite équipe commando qui l'emmène au départ avec le plus vieux bateau de la flotte.Un Vendée Globe où il prend du plaisir, malgré une remontée de l'Atlantique difficile, et qui lui donne immédiatement envie de recommencer ! Mais pas à n'importe quel prix, lui qui sait les sacrifices que demande cette épreuve : pour 2028, Sébastien veut jouer avec les foilers, visant un bateau d'occasion de la génération 2020 et un budget largement redimensionné. Trois mois après son retour, il y travaille déjà - "le large me manque".Rediffusé le 15 août 2025Diffusé le 5 Mai 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Waabi announced the appointment of former Uber Freight CEO Leor Ron as its new COO, signaling a major transition from research and development to commercialization and scale. This strategic move aims to accelerate Waabi's journey towards a driver-out milestone by year-end and expand partnerships with industry giants like Volvo and Uber Freight. The US and China have extended a pause on higher tariffs for goods from each country until November 10th, narrowly avoiding proposed increases. This extension maintains the US levy on Chinese imports at 30% and China's tariff on American products at 10%, allowing for continued negotiations on key trade issues. Freight tech company GoodShip also announced a successful Series B funding round, securing $25 million to advance its AI-driven freight management platform. This platform has already proven its value for enterprise shippers, helping clients significantly reduce transportation costs by 3-5% and decrease late shipments by 20%.

En este video contamos con el apoyo de Planeta DeAgostini… y gracias a ellos, nos vamos a esos tiempos en que los americanos, para hacer un deportivo, partían de un coche de tamaño reducido, para sus parámetros, y le metían un motor “gordo” … pero muy “gordo”, tanto como de 8 cilindros en V y 7.000 cm3. Esta maqueta es una verdadera maravilla… ¡Y no se te olvide poner el código GARAJEHERMETICO! Así nació el Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, un verdadero mito y una idea genial de Carrol Shelby: Meter en el “compacto” Ford Mustang un motor “Big Block” de 7 litros ¿El resultado? Un coche de ensueño, precioso, de 1.500 kg y 360 CV… ¡que han llegado a más de 700 con compresor! A la gente de Planeta DeAgostini les gusta hacer las cosas “a lo grande” y la buena noticia es que este coche puede ser tuyo, en una detallada maqueta de casi 80 cm de largo a escala 1/6. Una maqueta hecha en metal que he podido ver y tocar con mis propias manos con sonido, luces, completamente detallada, con puertas y capós con mecanismos de apertura, con dirección y hasta ¡con mando a distancia! Siempre lo sigo: Disfrutas de esta maqueta sin duda con el resultado final, pero también con la obra editorial que acompaña a la colección, que te va a contar toda la historia y características de este modelo único y, sobre todo, montándola. Y volvemos al asunto, eléctricos vs híbridos… y es que Audi, Bentley, Cadillac, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Toyota, Volkswagen y Volvo, entre otras marcas, retrasan o posponen “sine die” sus planes de electrificación. Mientras los híbridos, especialmente los enchufables, ganan el favor del público… e incluso hay quienes afirman que son más ecológicos que los eléctricos puros. ¡Menudo lio! Que te vamos a aclarar. Muchos “electroheads” estarán pensando “¿quiénes son esos que afirman que los híbridos son más ecológicos que los eléctricos puros?”. Pues marcas tan importantes como Toyota por ejemplo… Algunos de esos “electroheads” me dirán, “¡Hombre Máximo! Ellos son juez y parte”. Y es verdad… como también es verdad que saben mucho, pero mucho de coches. Y las declaraciones de Akio Toyoda, su presidente, no son para echar en saco roto. Ha dicho, literalmente, que: “9 millones de coches eléctricos contaminan tanto como 27 millones de híbridos y por tanto la industria no debería enfocarse únicamente en los vehículos eléctrico”. Vale, señores “electroheads” que no so fiais de Akio Toyoda… hacéis mal, pero ¿os fiais de la American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy? Una entidad independiente norteamericana que se dedica a estudiar qué tipo de energías son más eficientes. En su último estudio afirma que “el coche más ecológico de EEUU no es precisamente eléctrico”, apunta a que es híbrido. Lo hemos dicho siempre en este canal: La emisiones de un coche deben tener en cuenta su uso, pero también su fabricación y reciclaje final. Y en este estudio denominado “Greencars” que mide el ciclo completo de vida de un coche ha dado como vencedor al coche más ecológico vendido en los USA a un híbrido enchufable, al Toyota Prius Prime SE. A esos modelos 100x100 eléctricos les bastan autonomías de como mucho 300/400 km que se consiguen con baterías relativamente pequeñas, de 50 kWh o hasta 75 kWh si aspiramos a algún viaje planificado, que resultan más ligeras y más baratas. Acabo de recoger un coche que responde a estas premisas, un flamante R5 100x100 eléctrico, amarillo, precioso, que va de maravilla y del que os contaré como va con todo lujo de detalles… para mí el arquetipo del eléctrico que interesa. Si vives en una ciudad o cerca, eléctrico. Si vi ves en el campo, lejos de las ciudades y quieres un coche grande e incluso un TT, diésel… y como decía el anuncio de una famosa tarjeta de crédito “para todo lo demás… híbrido”. Lo que sucede es que un buen híbrido enchufable en ciudad es como un eléctrico… eso sí, si te molestas en enchufarlo, ¡claro! Pero además puedes viajar “hasta el infinito y más allá” sin problemas, sin necesidad de programar el viaje de ni largas esperas para cargar. Me parto de la risa cuando veo video de “electroheads” que anuncian a bombo y platillo que se puede viajar sin problemas con un eléctrico porque en cargadores ultrarrápidos de ¡350 kWh! Que le meten un calentón “que pa' qué” a la batería, cargan el 80 por ciento en 15 minutos… Pero luego veo videos donde te cuentan lo que cuestan esas recargas, que pueden llegar a costar más que la gasolina. Y esto nos lleva a otro punto. Sí tienes garaje, en muchos casos un eléctrico puede ser una opción, porque si cargas en casa vas a ahorrar mucho en energía frente a un híbrido y mucho más frente a un coche térmico. Pero de lo contario… yo me lo pensaría.
