  SPEAKER_05: That's a good reason.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I'm just saying.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_01: Well, when he dances, it looks like his medication's kicking back.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: Or I need more of it.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: Or you need more of it.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: So um we we had such a great time that evening, vaguely, I remember, that um we got out there and started dancing stupid stuff, and there were a lot of people in this dance floor area, and um, as it turned out, we wound up the only people on the dance floor, um, which is the reason we got kicked out.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and um they could see what we were doing, and they and there was a big circle around us, and everybody was going, What the hell is wrong with these people?
• 3:47

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, more of us anyway.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: So that's the story of uh Stan and Sheila and Don Armstrong, and and here we are today.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't know why.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think Stan would admit it.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_01: You know, if he was here, he'd probably deny it.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: Listen, Stan Stan didn't witness that part of the evening because Stan had his own thing going on down the way.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_05: He was line dancing.

  SPEAKER_00: Was he line dancing?
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_00: Oh, so there is that, but I was telling everybody earlier, and I'm gonna repeat it because this is a different hour of the program, that there is something special about this cruise in.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: And I've been to a lot of cruise-ins, there's something special about this, and I think that it's Stan and you thank you that have um turned this into a not only just the cars, but it's the camaraderie.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that that's where it really comes together.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, um, I have never heard a bad thing from anybody about Stan or you.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, you're just not listening to the right people.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: I don't, I don't, I don't listen to those people.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_05: That's good.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: You don't need to, yeah.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_05: And you know what?
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_05: Let them let them well.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody's got negative stuff to say make everybody happy, yeah.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: But um, this it's such a unique show, and it's always donate for the toys today, um, and get a ticket and go in there and get you a couple of tacos and a soft drink, and you're good to go.

• 6:12
  SPEAKER_05: Yes, not yet.
• 6:14

  SPEAKER_00: These things did you know that that's a Brazilian?
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: Brazilian bus?

  SPEAKER_00: Does it say that?
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, oh I he didn't tell me that.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so we did that.

  SPEAKER_00: That that's a very unique, very expensive, worth a lot of money vehicle.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: It is, isn't it?
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and I told him, I said, you know what really really draws me into that?

• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: The curtains.

  SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: And he says, you know, you're not the first person to say that.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because that makes it unique.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: Because that at that time period, you're too young to know, but at that time period, that would be a camper bus.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes, you could close the you know, turn on the take some seats out, roll the other ones down, and whatever the case may be, you know, you got your camper.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_05: Absolutely.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_05: That's how they did it back in the day.

• 8:32
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, Stan always um wants to make it a big deal.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, it's important when we have you guys here and when you have music and when you have just everybody working together to make it a great car show because somebody everybody has choices in life and you want to go do something with your time that's fun.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_05: So why not go somewhere where everybody's working hard to have fun and and support a good cause like that this weekend the um Toys for Tots and the Marines are here now and they're accepting toys.

  SPEAKER_05: And we just added a um a new one to our collection, um, a new little pedal car.

• 10:54
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 10:56

  SPEAKER_05: It's gonna be great.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: It is, yes.

  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_05: Stan always says, Oh my gosh, you just look, I probably shouldn't even say this.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_05: He was like, You just look so pretty when you're watching Ty.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_05: Like, because you just you're glowing.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_05: And I was like, Well, why can't you?
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, of course you're gonna glow, it's your grandchild, you know.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_05: But yeah, he is adorable and he's now walking.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_05: He's one year old, and he's driving too.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's driving.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah, he was like laid back, yeah.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_05: He was leaning, oh yeah.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, he was leaning with it, rocking with it.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_05: But that's kind of what ex inspired me to um do a little kids' show, um, kids' car show.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_05: Um well that's where you and Stanley at a kids' junior drive racing.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_05: But the whole thing was um, you know, my son grew up around car car shows because Chase's other grandmother, uh Mary Murray, she used to do car shows um back in the day.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_05: And so Chase was always around car shows, and so he knows how to respect a classic car.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_05: And I just thought, wow, what a great way to teach kids early about taking care of their own little hot rod and respecting other people's hot rods.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_05: You just don't go up and start touching them or climbing on them.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_05: Um, so that's kind of what I'm gonna damn it.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_05: I know you can't climb on them, you can't climb on them.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_05: No touch, just look, just look.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_04: Don't touch it.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_05: Just like men looking at women, you can only look at the women, you can't touch.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_05: Look, don't touch that one.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_05: Remember that don't touch this.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_05: Can't touch this.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_01: We should write a song.

  SPEAKER_05: So, yeah, and we're just missing Stan.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, you can't you can't describe to somebody that doesn't really know about this thing that we all have, but once you're once you get a little sample of it, you go, and I want more of it because it's about family and friends, yeah, and cars, because we have that's it what the common denominator is the cars, yeah.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: There's the cars, but um, it brings everybody together.

  SPEAKER_00: This is a very different-looking vehicle, sharp, distinctive lighting, front and rear, fast back rear design with unique rear sunshade and spoiler, extra large rear hatch door.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_00: What I liked this, in my opinion, is one of the sharpest-looking EVs in the market today.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_00: And it's in the SUV form.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_00: What could use improvement?
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_00: I put a big question mark right where I put that question.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, I don't know.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_00: I think it fits a lot of categories.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_00: Interior highlights, sweeping combination display that stretches almost door to door.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_00: Attractive, unique center console with a flat phone charger.

  SPEAKER_00: Attractive, unique center console, comfortable seating with attractive materials, steering wheel controls are easy to understand and use.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_00: You're thinking, well, now why did he say that?
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_00: Is he just trying to fill time?
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_00: No, because I drive a new different car every week.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_00: And let me tell you something.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody tries to reinvent the wheel, and there's no reason for that.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_00: I see slight adjustments, and you know, we're gonna do this over here and do that.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_00: But why change the whole thing?
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_00: Last week I drove a vehicle that had steering wheel controls that weren't really controls, they were pads to fill in all the blanks.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, no, no.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_00: You fill in the blanks, I'll tell you whether or not I like it.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_00: Cargo, trunk room, small, what I liked.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_00: The clamshell hatch that keeps cargo limited to accommodate taller items, but it works for this vehicle.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_00: What could use improvement?
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's an electric motor with 225 horsepower and 258 pound feet of torque with a direct drive automatic transmission.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_00: There's no transmission.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_00: There's direct drive electric motors.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_00: Toe rating 2700 pounds, which kind of surprised me.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you know, it's it's not gonna overkill or anything, but 2700 pounds, that's a percentage.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_00: Pardon me just a minute.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_00: Hello?
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, don't pause it.
• 24:56

• 25:24
  SPEAKER_00: Manufacturers miles per gallon E-rating is 128 city, 101 highway for a range of 318 miles.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_00: And from what I could gather, without trying to do the math and overcomplicate things, it probably gets about, in realistic terms, about 275 miles in a regular everyday drive.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_00: I drove it for 502 miles.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_00: What I liked about it was the power.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_00: What could use improvement?
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_00: More range, and finding a damn Tesla charger.
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_00: Did I say that?

  SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry.

  SPEAKER_00: Under one roof.

  SPEAKER_04: Well, and range anxiety shouldn't be an issue with a hybrid either.
