  Don Armstrong: Jeff has a story about everything WD 40 can do for your home and your car.
• 0:18
  Jeff Dziekan: No home, just car.
• 0:21
  Don Armstrong: Well, then you you can extrapolate many of the things for the car to the home.
• 0:25
  Jeff Dziekan: Well, yeah.
• 0:26
  Jeff Dziekan: And and for personal hygiene dues.
• 0:30
  Mike Marrs: Huh.
• 0:31
  Jeff Dziekan: If you think about that for a minute.
• 0:33
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, if you're into extrapolating, go ahead on.
• 0:39
  Don Armstrong: I don't think we want to go off under that direction.
• 0:41
  Don Armstrong: We could use it because it'll become an R-rated show rather quickly.
• 0:45
  Jeff Dziekan: Well, if you get stuff on your fingers, like if you get grease or tar or rubber on your fingers, or on, you know, we're gonna get that off your with the WD.
• 0:52
  Jeff Dziekan: It works.
• 0:53
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 0:54
  Don Armstrong: Well, we're gonna delve into all of that.
• 0:57
  Don Armstrong: Howdy, along with Mike Out of this World Mars.
• 0:59
  Don Armstrong: We always need more Jeff Zeke and Chief Engineer David Ainsley.

  Don Armstrong: Uh, we appreciate you.
• 1:08
  Don Armstrong: And uh let's start off this segment with the recalls.
• 1:11
  Don Armstrong: We mentioned that during our news segment.
• 1:14
  Don Armstrong: Um, they're not that's not in this because they've already been recalled and they're in trouble again.
• 1:20
  Don Armstrong: Anyway, low beam headlights may be too bright on the Tesla Model 3 and the Tesla Model Y.
• 1:30
  Don Armstrong: On the 3, 17 to 23, on the Y, 2020 to 2023.
• 1:36
  Don Armstrong: Front exterior turn signals may fail.
• 1:38
  Don Armstrong: That's not good.
• 1:39
  Don Armstrong: Rivian R1S and the Rivian R1T 25 and 26 model years.
• 1:45
  Don Armstrong: Here's a different one, because you never hear about Toyotas too much anyway.
• 1:50
  Don Armstrong: Blank instrument cluster display, Toyota Camry Hybrid 25 and 26, and deactivated electronic stability control for the Toyota BZ Woodland.
• 2:04
  Jeff Dziekan: Well, that's not a problem if it's deactivated, the the stability the stability control.
• 2:10
  Jeff Dziekan: Stability, I'm sorry.
• 2:10
  Jeff Dziekan: I thought it was okay.
• 2:12
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah, that's that's not good.
• 2:13
  Jeff Dziekan: I had that quite on the Cadillac.
• 2:15
  Don Armstrong: Stability control.
• 2:16
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:17
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 2:18
  Don Armstrong: So now what we're going to do is uh-oh.
• 2:22
  Don Armstrong: We're going to do what the auction car sold for.
• 2:28
  Don Armstrong: It's a little fun game that we play, and uh we get the cars prices from what they sold for from Heming's sold car weekly roundup.
• 2:40
  Don Armstrong: Gather the kids around the TV.
• 2:42
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 2:43
  Don Armstrong: So we start this week's off with a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle.
• 2:51
  Don Armstrong: Oh.
• 2:52
  Don Armstrong: That, my friends, is a good looking car.
• 2:55
  Don Armstrong: I'm tearing up.
• 2:56
  Don Armstrong: It's even got the red striped tires and the wheel trim rings.
• 3:01
  Don Armstrong: I love it.
• 3:02
  Don Armstrong: How much do you think that that sold car sold for?
• 3:07
  Mike Marrs: You know, I I would add that in the description it talks about having uh disc brakes, turbo 350 on it, but it also says it was repainted during a restoration process, prowler purple.
• 3:22
  Mike Marrs: Now you may sell that in any.
• 3:24
  Don Armstrong: Well, may I may I just also comment about one thing that kind of stands out to me is the looks to me as if it's got a big block in it.
• 3:35
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah.
• 3:36
  Don Armstrong: Uh in 67, it would have probably been a 427.
• 3:42
  Mike Marrs: I think it's a big block, 396, because it's 396.
• 3:46
  Don Armstrong: We'll go with that.
• 3:48
  Don Armstrong: It's it's a big block.
• 3:50
  Don Armstrong: It's a big one.
• 3:51
  Don Armstrong: It is a big one.
• 3:52
  Jeff Dziekan: So with a big number of 80 85k.
• 3:55
  Jeff Dziekan: Really?
• 3:55
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah.
• 3:56
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 3:56
  Don Armstrong: Well, it is rare because you don't see big blocks in this car very often.
• 4:01
  Don Armstrong: A 66 Chevelle.
• 4:03
  Don Armstrong: How much?
• 4:03
  Don Armstrong: You said how much?
• 4:04
  Jeff Dziekan: I said 85.
• 4:05
  Jeff Dziekan: David Ainsley says 30.
• 4:08
  Mike Marrs: George is at 3299.
• 4:11
  Jeff Dziekan: I like big blocks, and I cannot lie.
• 4:13
  Mike Marrs: Mr.
• 4:13
  Mike Marrs: Heitman's at 45.
• 4:16
  Don Armstrong: It sold for$36,750.
• 4:24
  Don Armstrong: That's a beautiful car.
• 4:26
  Jeff Dziekan: Probably bent or something.
• 4:28
  Jeff Dziekan: The frame is bent, I don't think so.
• 4:30
  Mike Marrs: But it's a convertible.
• 4:31
  Mike Marrs: You gotta also add.
• 4:32
  Mike Marrs: And that's what I thought too.
• 4:35
  Don Armstrong: Wow.
• 4:36
  Don Armstrong: What'd you say?
• 4:37
  Don Armstrong: A deduction?
• 4:38
  Don Armstrong: No, limited production.
• 4:39
  Don Armstrong: Oh, limited production.
• 4:40
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 4:41
  Don Armstrong: Let's move on to number two.
• 4:43
  Don Armstrong: Let's bump it up a bit.
• 4:45
  Don Armstrong: Let's go to 2013 model year for the Dodge Challenger.
• 4:51
  Don Armstrong: Give me a dollar.
• 4:52
  Don Armstrong: Is that is that a challenger?
• 4:54
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, it is.
• 4:54
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, yeah.
• 4:55
  Don Armstrong: Just want to make sure.
• 4:56
  Mike Marrs: Says it's only got 13,500 miles on it, and it is a 5'7 Hemi.
• 5:02
  Don Armstrong: And as Jeff said earlier, it says, Yeah.
• 5:05
  Don Armstrong: Well, because we were looking at some Cadillac black wing.
• 5:08
  Don Armstrong: He says, Yeah, it hasn't been off the drag strip since it was brand new.
• 5:12
  Don Armstrong: I don't know about that.
• 5:13
  Jeff Dziekan: The mileage are a quarter at a time.
• 5:14
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, the files are a quarter of a mile at a time.
• 5:17
  Don Armstrong: That's it.
• 5:19
  Don Armstrong: So what do you think?
• 5:20
  Don Armstrong: With 13,000 miles on it.
• 5:22
  Mike Marrs: And it is a 13.
• 5:24
  Mike Marrs: Two owners.
• 5:25
  Mike Marrs: Two owners.
• 5:26
  Mike Marrs: Second owner selling it.
• 5:27
  Mike Marrs: Heitzman's at 41,000.
• 5:29
  Jeff Dziekan: Oh, oh, oh.
• 5:30
  Jeff Dziekan: I wasn't going to go that high.
• 5:31
  Jeff Dziekan: Oh, see, I was going to go.
• 5:32
  Jeff Dziekan: George says 25.9.
• 5:33
  Jeff Dziekan: I'm going to go 27.
• 5:37
  Jeff Dziekan: Who else?
• 5:38
  Mike Marrs: Wonder where Mr.
• 5:38
  Mike Marrs: Ainsley went.
• 5:40
  Mike Marrs: Well, and he may have passed out from the price on the 30s.
• 5:43
  Mike Marrs: He may have.
• 5:44
  Don Armstrong: You know, one thing I do like about that though is I like the red inserts in the seats.
• 5:49
  Mike Marrs: Yes.
• 5:50
  Don Armstrong: Stands out.
• 5:51
  Don Armstrong: Now, is that a six-speed manual ball that I see in there?
• 5:54
  Don Armstrong: It kind of looks correct.
• 5:56
  Mike Marrs: It is a six-speed trimic.
• 5:59
  Don Armstrong: Wow.
• 5:59
  Don Armstrong: So this thing really is a rare breed onto itself.
• 6:02
  Don Armstrong: Sorry, I'll go 27.5.
• 6:04
  Don Armstrong: And no more.
• 6:05
  Mike Marrs: Changely said 38,000.
• 6:07
  Don Armstrong: It sold for 29,925.
• 6:11
  Mike Marrs: So that'd be Mr.
• 6:13
  Mike Marrs: George would be the closest.
• 6:14
  Don Armstrong: Yep.
• 6:15
  Don Armstrong: George would win that one.
• 6:17
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 6:17
  Mike Marrs: This is one I'm wanting to see.
• 6:21
  Don Armstrong: And I put this in there just for you, too, Mike.
• 6:23
  Mike Marrs: I appreciate it.
• 6:24
  Don Armstrong: A 2,000 Aston Martin DB7.
• 6:29
  Don Armstrong: Oh my.
• 6:30
  Don Armstrong: Isn't that a James Bond card?
• 6:32
  Don Armstrong: Yes, it is.
• 6:34
  Don Armstrong: And I believe it's got a V12 in it.
• 6:36
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, it certainly looks like it.
• 6:38
  Mike Marrs: V12, 28,950 miles.
• 6:42
  Mike Marrs: Wow.
• 6:43
  Mike Marrs: One of 750 V12 convertibles built, period.
• 6:48
  Don Armstrong: That's a nice car.
• 6:50
  Don Armstrong: All right.
• 6:50
  Mike Marrs: 160K plus original MSRP.
• 6:53
  Don Armstrong: So what what would you 26-year-old car?
• 6:57
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.

  Jeff Dziekan: I'm gonna say 42.
• 7:03
  Mike Marrs: 42.
• 7:04
  Don Armstrong: What'd you say, Mike?
• 7:06
  Mike Marrs: Heitzman's at 60.
• 7:07
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 7:09
  Mike Marrs: George.

• 7:26
  Don Armstrong: Ainsley 75.
• 7:28
  Don Armstrong: Okay, are you sitting down?
• 7:30
  Don Armstrong: We are.
• 7:31
  Don Armstrong: We are.
• 7:32
  Don Armstrong: 28,000 875.
• 7:36
  Don Armstrong: Because of the maintenance fee on this every time you turn around.
• 7:42
  Don Armstrong: Can you imagine what an oil change on that thing it costs?
• 7:44
  Jeff Dziekan: Is there an oil change or is it one of those sealed systems?
• 7:46
  Jeff Dziekan: I don't know.
• 7:47
  Mike Marrs: Well, can you imagine?
• 7:48
  Mike Marrs: You're gonna have to take it to a dealer probably to do most anything to it.
• 7:51
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 7:52
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 7:53
  Mike Marrs: Wow.
• 7:54
  Don Armstrong: So$28,875 for the DB7 Aston Martin.
• 7:58
  Don Armstrong: All right, next up, this is like my buddy's car from high school.
• 8:03
  Don Armstrong: The only difference is that the front half, the engine, I'm sorry, the fenders and and the hood were were were basically flat black, like this one.
• 8:14
  Don Armstrong: The rest of the car was red, but it looks it's identical.
• 8:17
  Don Armstrong: Two-door 55.
• 8:18
  Don Armstrong: A stroker motor in it.
• 8:20
  Don Armstrong: It does look like an LS1 motor.
• 8:23
  Don Armstrong: So what do you think that this car sold for?
• 8:26
  Mike Marrs: Got a four-speed in it and a 411 posse.
• 8:30
  Don Armstrong: It's a drag car.
• 8:32
  Don Armstrong: An old drag car.
• 8:33
  Mike Marrs: Since they took the it was a body off, just the body work was a body off at interior restoration.
• 8:40
  Mike Marrs: They didn't do it.
• 8:40
  Mike Marrs: The rest of it's restored, I guess you'd say.
• 8:44
  Jeff Dziekan: I'm gonna go$25,000.
• 8:47
  Mike Marrs: George is at$999.99.
• 8:52
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah.
• 8:53

  Don Armstrong: Body off, frame off, restoration.
• 9:12
  Don Armstrong: David says$14.37.
• 9:15
  Don Armstrong: I mean, it's a nice car and all, but I think it's a niche driver, though.
• 9:19
  Jeff Dziekan: If it's a if it's a dragster, it's a well it's you're saying it's a dragster.
• 9:24
  Don Armstrong: We don't know that, but it's got a 411 rear end in it, which would, you know, it'd be at 6,000 RPM in the quarter mile.
• 9:32
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, that's exactly.
• 9:33
  Don Armstrong: All right, next up.
• 9:35

• 10:10
  Mike Marrs: And if you'll notice, bench seat in the front.
• 10:15
  Jeff Dziekan: It's like a 6040.
• 10:18
  Jeff Dziekan: No, not in the front.
• 10:19
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, they call it a bench, they call it a six passenger option.
• 10:23
  Don Armstrong: Gotcha.
• 10:26
  Don Armstrong: Well, everybody's stumped.
• 10:29
  Mike Marrs: No, they just I'm I'm drilling.
• 10:31
  Don Armstrong: Heisman's at 39.
• 10:35
  Don Armstrong: George is at 21,999.
• 10:38
  Don Armstrong: Now, this is a rare car.
• 10:40
  Don Armstrong: And especially with the low mileage, David's at$28,999.
• 10:45
  Don Armstrong: It sold for$78,750.
• 10:51
  Don Armstrong: But why would you have aftermarket wheels on it?
• 10:55
  Don Armstrong: Those aren't stock wheels.
• 10:57
  Don Armstrong: No, but they like those wheels, I guess.
• 10:58
  Don Armstrong: That's why they did it.
• 11:01
  Don Armstrong: That's a killer for me.
• 11:03
  Don Armstrong: If you're gonna have a car like this, that's all fixed up and fancy and stuff.
• 11:08
  Don Armstrong: I mean, I would I definitely want to put that.
• 11:11
  Jeff Dziekan: And that doesn't look like a bench seat to me.
• 11:12
  Jeff Dziekan: That looks like a split seat somehow.
• 11:14
  Jeff Dziekan: Oh, it's bench, yes, but it doesn't.
• 11:15
  Jeff Dziekan: Oh, it's got the fold down armrest thing.
• 11:18
  Mike Marrs: It's their five passenger option, but I'm I'm with you.
• 11:21
  Mike Marrs: You got a car here that you got everything back to factory original look, except the wheels.
• 11:26
  Don Armstrong: Except the wheels.
• 11:27

• 11:41
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 11:41
  Don Armstrong: Uh 55 Chevy 3100.
• 11:45
  Don Armstrong: Isn't that like a three-quarter ton?
• 11:47
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 11:48
  Mike Marrs: Yes.
• 11:49
  Don Armstrong: 55 Chevrolet 3100 that has uh not a stock engine in it.

  Don Armstrong: 32.
• 12:06
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 12:09
  Don Armstrong: Uh Jeff says 21.
• 12:14
  Don Armstrong: I just I'm just puzzled by the red interior on a green truck.
• 12:18
  Mike Marrs: They like this.
• 12:23
  Mike Marrs: The Lusk family.
• 12:25
  Don Armstrong: They're back 45K.

• 12:34
  Don Armstrong: Ainsley wins.
• 12:36
  Don Armstrong: It sold for$30,450.
• 12:39
  Don Armstrong: I guess$32.
• 12:40
  Don Armstrong: I was close.
• 12:41
  Jeff Dziekan: There you go.
• 12:41
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 12:42
  Jeff Dziekan: Perfect.
• 12:42
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 12:43
  Don Armstrong: Next up.
• 12:46
  Don Armstrong: This, ladies and gentlemen, is the car.
• 12:49
  Don Armstrong: Yes.
• 12:50
  Don Armstrong: Not the exact one, but one just like it that Danny Krieger and I put in neutral and ran this car through the front of his grandmother's garage.
• 13:03
  Don Armstrong: You know, the statute of limitations still applies.
• 13:06
  Jeff Dziekan: Because that's a Buick Four holer.
• 13:08
  Don Armstrong: It's a four-holer.
• 13:09
  Don Armstrong: It's a Buick Roadmaster, ladies and gentlemen.
• 13:12
  Jeff Dziekan: And it is priceless.
• 13:13
  Jeff Dziekan: That's my that's my uh bid.
• 13:15
  Don Armstrong: I think that that Danny's grandmother's car was a four-door, but I don't I don't regress on this.
• 13:21
  Don Armstrong: I just whatever.
• 13:22
  Don Armstrong: It's the same model year, and uh it's a four-holer.
• 13:26
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, 322 V8 with a four-barrel sedan.
• 13:30
  Don Armstrong: It's what they call the nail head, I believe.
• 13:32
  Mike Marrs: Yes, sir.
• 13:33
  unknown: Yeah.
• 13:34
  Don Armstrong: So um I'm gonna tell you right now that Stan has a 55 Buick Special, which my dad had.
• 13:42
  Don Armstrong: And it didn't have power steering.
• 13:44
  Don Armstrong: You're thinking, oh my god, that car weighs at least three tons.
• 13:49
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, how do you steer it?
• 13:51
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, well, sitting still, it's difficult.
• 13:53
  Don Armstrong: But if you're rolling down the road, that thing is like a bus.
• 13:58
  Don Armstrong: It's huge and it's easy to steer with a massive steering wheel.
• 14:02
  Don Armstrong: You gotta get above 35 for it to be easy steering.
• 14:05
  Don Armstrong: So, what do you think that this thing sold for?
• 14:07
  Jeff Dziekan: I'm gonna go 24,000.
• 14:09
  Jeff Dziekan: 24.
• 14:09
  Jeff Dziekan: Yes.
• 14:10
  Don Armstrong: It's clean.
• 14:11
  Don Armstrong: Boy, that's true.
• 14:12
  Don Armstrong: Huh?

  Don Armstrong: Mr.
• 14:13
  Mike Marrs: Heisman's at 35.
• 14:15
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 14:17
  Mike Marrs: Lusk family says 27,500.
• 14:22
  Mike Marrs: Don't George says Don's girlfriend handled the chrome.
• 14:26
  Mike Marrs: I don't know what that is.
• 14:29
  Don Armstrong: He didn't have a trailer hitch either.
• 14:31
  Don Armstrong: He's going.

  Don Armstrong: You too could have this car for$15,750.
• 14:59
  Jeff Dziekan: Wow.

  Jeff Dziekan: That's great.
• 15:00
  Jeff Dziekan: Didn't Rayman have Rayman had a convertible buet.
• 15:03
  Jeff Dziekan: I can't remember.
• 15:04
  Jeff Dziekan: That was the older model, though.
• 15:05
  Mike Marrs: It's pretty close.
• 15:06
  Don Armstrong: So we're going to finish up today's bidding with a 1954.
• 15:12
  Don Armstrong: Willis.
• 15:13
  Don Armstrong: What you talking about?
• 15:14
  Don Armstrong: What are you talking about?
• 15:15
  Don Armstrong: What are you talking about, Willis?
• 15:16
  Don Armstrong: A Willis pickup truck.
• 15:20
  Don Armstrong: There you don't see very many of these.
• 15:23
  Don Armstrong: That's an aftermarket motor.
• 15:25
  Mike Marrs: Oh yeah, it's 320.
• 15:27
  Mike Marrs: Wrote down 322, and I'm not sure why.
• 15:30
  Don Armstrong: I think that that, I think that that thing, a 54, probably had a four-cylinder.
• 15:34
  Don Armstrong: Might have been a six-cylinder.
• 15:36
  Don Armstrong: Probably a six.
• 15:37
  Mike Marrs: No, it's it's yeah.
• 15:38
  Mike Marrs: This one's got a V8 with a four-barrel on it.
• 15:40
  Mike Marrs: No, I know.
• 15:41
  Don Armstrong: I'm just I'm just saying, originally.
• 15:43
  Mike Marrs: 350 V8.
• 15:45
  Mike Marrs: It has been upgraded to a 12-volt system.
• 15:48
  Jeff Dziekan: Well, there you go.
• 15:50
  Jeff Dziekan: That's a that's an air.
• 15:51
  Jeff Dziekan: That's a cellar right there.
• 15:54
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, and it's uh got a three-speed manual transmission.
• 15:57
  Mike Marrs: And interestingly though, the four-wheel drive, the transfer case, is disconnected from the front axles.
• 16:05
  Mike Marrs: ITunes at 19,000.
• 16:07
  Mike Marrs: So it doesn't have real four-wheel drive.
• 16:11
  Jeff Dziekan: I'm gonna go 11,000.
• 16:13
  Jeff Dziekan: I'm gonna go way low on everybody because everybody's in the 20 range.
• 16:16
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, Lesk is at 23.
• 16:18
  Mike Marrs: George is at 26,999.
• 16:22
  Mike Marrs: Ainsy's there with you, George.
• 16:23
  Mike Marrs: Uh Jeff, 13,000.
• 16:27
  Don Armstrong: Well, it sold for$13,650.
• 16:32
  Jeff Dziekan: Perfect.
• 16:33
  Mike Marrs: Yeah.
• 16:34
  Jeff Dziekan: Nice job, everybody.
• 16:35
  Jeff Dziekan: That was good.
• 16:36
  Mike Marrs: That was interesting.
• 16:37
  Jeff Dziekan: Pay the uh pay the lady at the window for all of your winnings.
• 16:41
  Jeff Dziekan: Yes, that's it.
• 16:42
  Jeff Dziekan: And then make sure you have your insurance card with you before you pick it up.
• 16:44
  Jeff Dziekan: No checks.
• 16:45
  Jeff Dziekan: No checks.
• 16:46
  Jeff Dziekan: That's all the cashier's check.
• 16:47
  Jeff Dziekan: That's all.
• 16:48
  Don Armstrong: No, nothing.
• 16:49
  Don Armstrong: Just ahead.
• 16:50

  Don Armstrong: Inwheeltime.com has a list, so check us out.
• 18:42
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah, some of these things are surprising.
• 18:43
  Jeff Dziekan: I don't call them hacks or just you know however people use these things.
• 18:46
  Jeff Dziekan: But uh, this versatile product has many uses other than you know the things that it's designed for, especially helpful in the garage.
• 18:52
  Jeff Dziekan: If you're looking for an inexpensive way to keep your car looking running, good is uh new.
• 18:57
  Jeff Dziekan: So originally developed by the aerospace industry as a degreaser and rust prevention solvent.
• 19:03
  Jeff Dziekan: And this, of course, the WD is water displacement, and it's the 40th formula.
• 19:08
  Jeff Dziekan: That's how that 40 came in there.
• 19:09
  Jeff Dziekan: Water displacement 40.
• 19:11
  Jeff Dziekan: Right.
• 19:11
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh it's suitable for every application.
• 19:13
  Jeff Dziekan: Always double check, though, uh, the instructions before you do any of these things for your car because it can be expensive if it doesn't work.
• 19:20
  Jeff Dziekan: So it's particularly useful for both protecting the chrome parts of your car and the rust improving their shine.
• 19:26
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh, it can be done by coating the chrome surfaces with the original WD 40, the spray, and then waiting for about 10 minutes so it sinks in a little bit, and then gently scrub the chrome before uh rinsing off the residue.
• 19:38
  Jeff Dziekan: And who doesn't like to rinse residue?
• 19:40
  Jeff Dziekan: I like it.
• 19:40
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh spray on another coat, wipe it clean, and uh your shine will come back to the chrome.
• 19:46
  Jeff Dziekan: Similarly, uh the WD can be restore the headlights if you trust that, and if they're not too bad.
• 19:52
  Jeff Dziekan: And I know my uh son Jason just did Kylie's before she went over to to Texas Tech.
• 19:56
  Jeff Dziekan: He did the buffing part of it.
• 19:58
  Jeff Dziekan: There's a process that they do at the dealership that he did for her.
• 20:01
  Jeff Dziekan: But that involves WD-40?
• 20:03
  Jeff Dziekan: No, no, no.
• 20:03
  Jeff Dziekan: It's all the compounds and things.
• 20:05
  Jeff Dziekan: But nevertheless, uh it's a multi-use product.
• 20:08
  Jeff Dziekan: Instead of applying it directly to lights, you should use it with uh put on chrome or you should spray it on a clean cloth, then thoroughly rub the headlights to restore their shine.
• 20:18
  Jeff Dziekan: Using WD-40 on car doors can also be particularly useful, cold weather.
• 20:23
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh in case that uh in that case, the WD can be used to unstick them in these situations.
• 20:30
  Jeff Dziekan: So you spray the WD on the frozen part and it will break loose.
• 20:33
  Jeff Dziekan: Using it on your car doors particularly useful in cold weather.
• 20:36
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh you can put it on your hinges as well.
• 20:39
  Jeff Dziekan: So gaskets and weather stripping of your car that can be limbered up.
• 20:43
  Jeff Dziekan: It can extend the lifespan as well as keep the climate control.
• 20:49
  Jeff Dziekan: Limber it up, uh, more efficient.
• 20:51
  Jeff Dziekan: The product can also be used to in a similar fashion for your windshield wipers, slowing down their wear and tear, saving you money, and it won't replace it.
• 20:58
  Jeff Dziekan: Putting that grease right on your windshield.
• 21:00
  Jeff Dziekan: There you go.
• 21:00
  Jeff Dziekan: Another way of this product lubricant is your strut mounts.
• 21:03
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh can be annoying, they squeak the top of the mount.
• 21:06
  Jeff Dziekan: Sometimes the bolts get rusty and things uh from the open road, spray it on there and they'll be lubed up.
• 21:12
  Jeff Dziekan: Very important though, not to use it on any of your brakes, because that's that'd be not be good.
• 21:17
  Jeff Dziekan: If you like keeping your car looking pristine and hate those sticky dashboards and all that good stuff people eat in your car, you can actually use this on uh some of the uh dash parts, maybe your steering wheel.
• 21:29
  Jeff Dziekan: They say it does work.
• 21:31
  Jeff Dziekan: I wouldn't do it, but there it is.
• 21:33
  Jeff Dziekan: Another common would be adhesives.
• 21:35
  Jeff Dziekan: If you got a bumper sticker or something that's sticky on your vehicle, rubber, tar, you can spray it on there, wipe it off, and it should be should be.
• 21:43
  Jeff Dziekan: Crayons.
• 21:44
  Jeff Dziekan: If you've got kids in your car and they write crayon stuff on the on the uh doors or the pads or anything like that on the seats, WD 40 can remove that as well.
• 21:52
  Jeff Dziekan: The solvent is safe to use with paint, but WD removes grime, tree sap, bird droppings, and all that good stuff, dead bugs and things.
• 21:59
  Jeff Dziekan: The electricity.
• 22:00
  Jeff Dziekan: Electrical components of your vehicle.
• 22:03
  Jeff Dziekan: His business will go down.
• 22:04
  Jeff Dziekan: Components of your vehicle are obviously some of the car parts that are important to keep moisture free, can be used to dry them out, including spark plugs, spark plug wires, and ignition distributors.
• 22:16
  Jeff Dziekan: This product is also dealing with flooded engines, whether that's part of your car, lawnmower, tractor, or other vehicle.
• 22:23
  Jeff Dziekan: Completely shut off the motor, spray the original WD formula into the carburetor.
• 22:28
  Jeff Dziekan: Once the moisture is clear, the engine should start and never have a problem after that.
• 22:33
  Jeff Dziekan: While it's great for drying out flooded engines, just remember that WD-40 is not a substitute for engine oil and should refrain from using it as such.
• 22:42
  Jeff Dziekan: And if you uh do a lot of highway driving, tired of having those bugs stick to your windshield, you can spray it on your windshield, and uh the bugs will just go off and they'll become roadkill.
• 22:51
  Jeff Dziekan: That's what the article says.
• 22:52
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh rather than stick to your windshield, the bug comes roadkill.
• 22:56
  Jeff Dziekan: So just be careful how you use it.
• 22:58
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh WD40 has many uses.
• 22:59
  Jeff Dziekan: You can spray it on your tire.
• 23:01
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh keep the grime, the grime, and road mud off your tires altogether.
• 23:06
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh spray it on there, and it comes off very, very easily.
• 23:09
  Jeff Dziekan: Isn't it mainly fish oil?
• 23:11
  Jeff Dziekan: I don't know.
• 23:13
  Jeff Dziekan: I've never read the back of it.
• 23:14
  Jeff Dziekan: I've never read the ingredients of it.
• 23:16
  Don Armstrong: Well, it's not that you're gonna eat it or anything, but it's not uh just be careful how you use it.
• 23:20
  Jeff Dziekan: There are some things that might you know ruin or get uh boogered up, as they say.
• 23:25
  Don Armstrong: Boogered up.
• 23:27
  Don Armstrong: All right there, uh Mr.
• 23:28
  Don Armstrong: Marnes uh got the driving destinations for us.
• 23:32
  Mike Marrs: Yes, sir.
• 23:32
  Mike Marrs: Got a few things that we were looking at.
• 23:34
  Mike Marrs: School, the kids have all gone back to school, so family weekend trips are basically what you're looking at either Saturday and Sunday or maybe for the whole weekend.
• 23:42
  Mike Marrs: So we were looking at day tripping.
• 23:44
  Mike Marrs: Uh and one of the things is Beaumont.
• 23:48
  Mike Marrs: Now it's far enough from Houston that it's out of Houston, but it's not really too far.
• 23:52
  Mike Marrs: It's only about an hour, hour and a half, depending on where you're coming from.
• 23:55
  Mike Marrs: And one of the things is the Spindle Top Gladys City Boomtown Museum.
• 24:00
  Mike Marrs: Now, this is really a look at what really changed Texas.
• 24:03
  Mike Marrs: The spindletop uh oil wells that came in from the spindle top oil field that's just outside of Beaumont, created a big gusher, set off the first big oil boom in the state of Texas.
• 24:14
  Mike Marrs: Now, the Gladys City Boomtown Museum, they've got a lot of things like a livery stable, a lot of reenactments or setups like were uh around during that time of year.
• 24:25
  Mike Marrs: And once a year, they actually have a smaller, but it's an oil derrick type setup, and they'll set off a water boom to kind of reenact the the gusher.
• 24:34
  Mike Marrs: And uh it's a pretty big deal, it's pretty neat, and then there's a lot of other museums to see around in Beaumont, uh including the State Fire Museum.
• 24:42
  Mike Marrs: Then uh the second place we wanted to look at is Nacadoches.
• 24:45
  Mike Marrs: Again, not too far to make it where it'd have to be a weekend.
• 24:49
  Mike Marrs: You can make it a longer day trip because it's a little bit further to drive.
• 24:52
  Mike Marrs: We've got a lot of historic buildings, got a walkable downtown, parks, uh creek, uh Millard's Crossing Historic Village is a place.
• 25:01
  Mike Marrs: It's got a lot of interesting things that go on in it, as well as the Stephen S.
• 25:05
  Mike Marrs: Austin University has a planetarium.
• 25:08
  Mike Marrs: So you can kind of do something kind of in the inside, get a little air conditioning, as well as get some of the outside experiences outside of Houston to make it a day trip, even though it's a little long.
• 25:19
  Mike Marrs: The third one we wanted to look at was Sea Center, Texas.
• 25:23
  Mike Marrs: Now, this is down in Lake Jackson.
• 25:25
  Mike Marrs: Uh I never heard of it until I went looking for all this stuff, and it's easy to get to and it's easy to overlook.
• 25:30
  Mike Marrs: I guess that's why nobody's heard of it.
• 25:32
  Mike Marrs: But coming out of Houston, 288's kind of a main thoroughfare.
• 25:36
  Mike Marrs: Well, you just get on it and you go south until you get to Sea Center, Texas.
• 25:41
  Mike Marrs: Now, it's also uh has an aquarium, it's a fish hatchery, and it really looks specifically at the Texas Gulf Coast marine life, you know, covering the salt marshes, the bays, artificial reefs, things like that.
• 25:53
  Mike Marrs: It's got a touch pool to where the kids can actually get in and handle a few of the marine animals that it's safe to do.
• 25:59
  Mike Marrs: And the best part is it's free.
• 26:03
  Mike Marrs: Then a little bit closer to your house there, Don, Rosenberg.
• 26:07
  Mike Marrs: It's still close to Houston.
• 26:08
  Mike Marrs: In fact, last time I was over there, it's basically Houston's about caught up with it.
• 26:12
  Mike Marrs: It's got a historic downtown with shops and restaurants, and it has the Fort Bend Museum.
• 26:18
  Mike Marrs: It's got some uh other opportunities such as Seaborne Creek Nature Park.
• 26:22
  Mike Marrs: You can go hiking, birding, do a little bit of fishing.
• 26:25
  Mike Marrs: So it's not too far, but it's a nice place to go.
• 26:28
  Mike Marrs: And it's also got a couple of uh people that's from that area.
• 26:32
  Mike Marrs: BJ Thomas is one of them, right there on the left.
• 26:34
  Mike Marrs: And then there's also dead.
• 26:36
  Mike Marrs: Yes, he is.
• 26:38
  Mike Marrs: But Steven Droits, D-R-O-Z-D, I'm not sure.
• 26:41
  Mike Marrs: How do you say his name, Don?
• 26:42
  Don Armstrong: I don't know.
• 26:43
  Don Armstrong: Oh who is he?
• 26:44
  Mike Marrs: He's he he's with a his one of the uh member of the flaming lips band.
• 26:50
  Mike Marrs: He's been on TV.
• 26:52
  Don Armstrong: Flaming something.
• 26:53
  Don Armstrong: I I know a few of those, but yeah, but flaming lips.
• 26:56
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 26:56
  Don Armstrong: Anyway, go ahead.
• 26:57
  Mike Marrs: Then we run down to Surfside Beach.
• 26:59
  Mike Marrs: Now, yeah, if you go down to Galveston, Galveston's pretty predictable about what you're gonna see, what you're gonna do.
• 27:04
  Don Armstrong: Candace Thackeray's hangout.
• 27:06
  Mike Marrs: There you go.
• 27:07
  Mike Marrs: Now, but if you go over to Surfside, which is uh west of Galveston, you get a little more simple.
• 27:13
  Mike Marrs: The beach, you still got the beach, the Gulf Air, and and lots of uh places to go have lunch, have dinner, but there's not really a big attraction like uh the parks and the museum or the strand that's really gonna drag a bunch of people down there.
• 27:27
  Mike Marrs: So this is actually more of a place you can go and literally go beach.
• 27:31
  Mike Marrs: This is a picture of the city hall at Surfside Beach.
• 27:36
  Mike Marrs: So it kind of gives you an idea of how laid back it is down there.
• 27:39
  Jeff Dziekan: City Hall looks like it looks kind of like a penitentiary.
• 27:42
  Jeff Dziekan: Just a side note, Mike.
• 27:43
  Jeff Dziekan: When I moved to Texas in 81, I lived in Clute, Texas, which is the mosquito capital of Texas, which is 15 minutes from where you're showing that picture right there.
• 27:51
  Jeff Dziekan: We used to spend six out of the seven days a week down at Surfside Beach.
• 27:56
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, yeah.
• 27:56
  Mike Marrs: Went through there, went through Clute one morning about 2 30 and uh met the local uh constable.
• 28:04
  Don Armstrong: I can't imagine why.
• 28:05
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 28:06
  Mike Marrs: So the other one we wanted to mention is College Station.
• 28:09
  Mike Marrs: Now, uh, everybody thinks when you think college station, you go Texas AM.
• 28:13
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, Texas AM is a big deal.
• 28:15
  Mike Marrs: Love their band, their marching band, but there's a lot more things there not too far from Houston.
• 28:20
  Mike Marrs: George H.
• 28:21
  Mike Marrs: W.
• 28:21
  Mike Marrs: Bush Presidential Library Museum is there.
• 28:23
  Mike Marrs: Got a lot of interesting things in there.
• 28:25
  Mike Marrs: Maybe it's a little bit for the older kids or teenagers, but you can go there and you can actually go and explore the university itself.
• 28:33
  Mike Marrs: And the the football stadium is just monstrous.
• 28:36
  Mike Marrs: And there's even a picture here of uh some of the older places.
• 28:39
  Mike Marrs: But go down around Northgate or even slip over to Brian downtown if you need to go to a little bit more.
• 28:44
  Mike Marrs: But a lot of things to do there without actually having to go to a museum park or ankle.
• 28:52
  Don Armstrong: Thank you, sir.
