• 0:20
  Don Armstrong: Right off the top.
• 0:21
  Don Armstrong: Plus, Jeff has the racing calendar we'll have this week in auto history, and I'll have some stories making automotive news headlines this week.

  Don Armstrong: Howdy, along with Mike out of this world bars.
• 0:30
  Don Armstrong: We always need more Jeff Zeken, Chief Engineer David.
• 0:35
  Don Armstrong: Ainsley.
• 0:36
  Don Armstrong: I'm Don Armstrong.
• 0:38
  Don Armstrong: Well, not always, but sometimes today.
• 0:41
  Don Armstrong: That's it.
• 0:42
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 0:42
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, him again.
• 0:46
  unknown: Anyway.
• 0:47
  Don Armstrong: Well, Mr.
• 0:48
  Don Armstrong: Mars, uh I think we batted about uh 25 out of 100 on our guest lineup today, but you know what?
• 0:58
  Don Armstrong: You learn things, we've learned things about each other that we didn't know.
• 1:03
  Don Armstrong: I didn't know Don could swim.
• 1:04
  Mike Marrs: I didn't either.
• 1:07
  Don Armstrong: If you want to call it that, I was hiding in the corner.
• 1:11
  Don Armstrong: Hiding in the corner, cow cowering down in the corner.
• 1:16
  Jeff Dziekan: Playing with a skimmer.
• 1:19
  Don Armstrong: The rudder.
• 1:20
  Don Armstrong: Anyway.
• 1:22
  Don Armstrong: Um, let's see.
• 1:24
  Don Armstrong: Let's do the recall, shall we, Mr.
• 1:26
  Don Armstrong: Mars?
• 1:28
  Don Armstrong: Why not?
• 1:30
  Don Armstrong: Well, would you rather talk about swimming?
• 1:32
  Don Armstrong: Did you ever go swimming in a swimming hole over there in Neaterville?
• 1:36
  Don Armstrong: Did you have a swimming hole?
• 1:37
  Mike Marrs: Well, kind of, sorta.
• 1:40
  Don Armstrong: We did.
• 1:43
  Don Armstrong: We used to have, well, they're we call it sand pits, is what they were.
• 1:48
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 1:49
  Don Armstrong: Where they would dig out these great big, and I mean, they they must have been 40 feet, 50 feet deep.
• 1:56
  Don Armstrong: And there wasn't a lot of water in the bottom of them, but what was there was crystal clear.
• 2:02
  Don Armstrong: You could see all the way down.
• 2:03
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 2:03
  Mike Marrs: Oh, yeah.
• 2:04
  Don Armstrong: And uh there was a we would go fishing in it.
• 2:07
  Don Armstrong: Well, that was pretty stupid because you could see that there weren't any fish in it.
• 2:11
  Don Armstrong: But whatever.
• 2:12
  Don Armstrong: And uh by the once we figured out that there weren't any fish in it, then there were like four or five of these swimming holes, and they were all kind of together in this area.
• 2:20
  Don Armstrong: They're still there, but what's happened is that they're city parks now, right?
• 2:26
  Don Armstrong: And so you can go over there, they got bridges over there, and nice, you know, it's it's nice.
• 2:31
  Don Armstrong: But back in the day, that was the swimming pool.
• 2:33
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah, there was a show on uh Henry Winkler's got a history show on, and they featured something like that where the abandoned uh gravel pits and mines, some guy bought some property and he put some makeshift slides made out of wood and all that, turned it into a park that people were actually signing waivers to be there.
• 2:49
  Jeff Dziekan: It crowded, flooded, it made a lot of money until they started getting sued.
• 2:53
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh, you know, deaths and tragedies.
• 2:56
  Jeff Dziekan: And then they sold it to somebody else that actually turned it into a legitimate park.
• 3:00
  Jeff Dziekan: So it was kind of weird to hut.
• 3:01
  Don Armstrong: Well, you know, it's kind of like the Komal River up there.
• 3:04
  Don Armstrong: Uh Schlitterbahn.
• 3:06
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 3:06
  Don Armstrong: Right?
• 3:06
  Don Armstrong: There was no Schlitterbahn.
• 3:08
  Don Armstrong: There was this dumpy motel that is still there.
• 3:11
  Don Armstrong: It's part of Schlitterbahn now.
• 3:13
  Don Armstrong: It's not dumpy anymore, but it was a dumpy old brick motel.
• 3:18
  Don Armstrong: If you've ever been up there, you know what I'm talking about.
• 3:20
  Don Armstrong: And it was right alongside the river.
• 3:22
  Don Armstrong: And I think that they had had a slide that you could slide basically from the motel down the embankment down to the river.
• 3:31
  Jeff Dziekan: That'll be darn.
• 3:31
  Don Armstrong: And uh, and of course, now when you travel with your parents, you always had to get a pool, you know.
• 3:36
  Jeff Dziekan: The Oh, God, that was the first thing you did.
• 3:38
  Jeff Dziekan: You gotta look for a pool, and you had the little guide.
• 3:40
  Jeff Dziekan: Oh, it's got a pool, you know, the triple-A guide and all that.
• 3:43
  Jeff Dziekan: And you pull up, and there are people in the pool.
• 3:45
  Jeff Dziekan: And the pool was usually outside in the front of the office by the road.
• 3:49
  Jeff Dziekan: That was the attraction to get the kids in there.
• 3:50
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah.
• 3:51
  Mike Marrs: Well, that is and the office manager could also watch the pool and not have a lifeguard.
• 3:55
  Don Armstrong: I never once knew of an office manager that even looked at the pool.
• 3:59
  Don Armstrong: Well, there was that one with the binoculars at one time.
• 4:02
  Don Armstrong: What was that?
• 4:03
  Don Armstrong: That sicko.
• 4:04
  Don Armstrong: I remember him, yeah.
• 4:07
  Don Armstrong: But anyway, all right.
• 4:08
  Don Armstrong: Well, more tall tales from the In Wheeltime team.
• 4:14
  Don Armstrong: You know, the only person that we didn't include in the Tall Tales section would be David Ainsley.
• 4:19
  Don Armstrong: And let me tell you something.
• 4:20
  Don Armstrong: He's got some tall tales.
• 4:21
  Don Armstrong: He's a tall guy, too.
• 4:22
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 4:23
  Don Armstrong: He's pretty tall.
• 4:24
  Jeff Dziekan: And then we go back to the Yeah, we don't want to tell that story very often.
• 4:30
  Don Armstrong: All right, so here's some recalls for you.
• 4:32
  Don Armstrong: Improperly secured module may damage the high voltage battery.
• 4:36
  Don Armstrong: That's not a good thing.
• 4:38
  Don Armstrong: Is it under the hood?
• 4:39
  Don Armstrong: Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC.
• 4:42
  Don Armstrong: The Escalade, uh, Silverado EV, and Sierra EV.
• 4:46
  Don Armstrong: Improperly installed seat belt buckle anchor.
• 4:51
  Don Armstrong: I guess you'll find that out when you're in some big collision.
• 4:54
  Don Armstrong: Ram 1500 2019 to 2026.
• 4:57
  Don Armstrong: Why'd it take so long to figure that out?
• 5:00
  Don Armstrong: Here's one, not good.
• 5:03
  Don Armstrong: Steel wheels may crack.
• 5:06
  Don Armstrong: Oh.
• 5:06
  Don Armstrong: Chevrolet Silverado EV.
• 5:11
  Don Armstrong: GMC Sierra EV.
• 5:13
  Don Armstrong: Sounds like a heat treat issue.
• 5:15
  Don Armstrong: But those are the ones that have the the the tires on them that you know pump it up to a hundred pounds.
• 5:23
  Don Armstrong: Am I right?
• 5:24
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah, I I don't know how that would welding, maybe?
• 5:27
  Jeff Dziekan: I don't know.
• 5:28
  Jeff Dziekan: That's not good.
• 5:29
  Mike Marrs: Well, it's gotta be like the the metal structure itself.
• 5:33
  Mike Marrs: Yeah.
• 5:33
  Mike Marrs: Kind of like a cute, it gets real brittle and it'll break.
• 5:36
  Don Armstrong: Who knows?
• 5:37
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 5:38
  Don Armstrong: Maybe maybe they used uh grandpa's uh welding rods when they put it on there.
• 5:44
  Don Armstrong: Grandpa's invention.
• 5:45
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah.
• 5:46
  Don Armstrong: All right, let's do the what the sold car sold for.

  Jeff Dziekan: Whatever, whatever he's something 999.
• 7:03

• 7:06
  Don Armstrong: They're not with us today.
• 7:07
  Don Armstrong: I've not seen it.

• 7:12
  Don Armstrong: Anyway, okay.
• 7:13
  Don Armstrong: Well, it's sold for$45,675.
• 7:18
  Don Armstrong: And I'm gonna tell you, I don't know anything about the car other than what Mars said.
• 7:24

• 7:26
  Don Armstrong: It looks like it rolled right off the showroom floor.
• 7:29
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, beautiful.
• 7:30
  Don Armstrong: I would pay$45,000 for that if I had$45,000.
• 7:33
  Mike Marrs: It was that was it's just a the color combination, it's just really beautiful.
• 7:37
  Mike Marrs: Absolutely.

  Don Armstrong: Yep.
• 7:38
  Jeff Dziekan: Or if the reverse, it was white with blood red interior.
• 7:41
  Mike Marrs: Either way, yeah, I like it like that.
• 7:43
  Don Armstrong: But I I I this is a sports car, it's got to be red.
• 7:45
  Don Armstrong: Okay, next up, let's do another Corvette, shall we?
• 7:50
  Don Armstrong: This is a 1969 Corvette convertible.
• 7:56
  Don Armstrong: What looks like factory pipes on it, they're probably aftermarket, and it's got the wheel trim rings.
• 8:05
  Don Armstrong: It looks like it is a small block Chevrolet.
• 8:09
  Mike Marrs: 383 stroker.
• 8:11
  Don Armstrong: A what?
• 8:12
  Mike Marrs: 383 stroker.

  Jeff Dziekan: I don't like those pipes.
• 8:37
  Don Armstrong: You know, no, it's period correct.
• 8:39
  Jeff Dziekan: I'm going elsewhere.
• 8:40
  Jeff Dziekan: I don't like the pipes.
• 8:42
  Don Armstrong: I like the pipes.
• 8:43
  Don Armstrong: I wouldn't, I wouldn't order them from the factory, but they were very expensive back in the day.
• 8:49
  Don Armstrong: All right, next up will be a 2021 Shelby Mustang.
• 8:59
  Don Armstrong: I like the color, I like the stripes, I like the car.
• 9:03
  Don Armstrong: And um, apparently it has been well maintained.
• 9:08
  Don Armstrong: Am I off off base on that, Mike?
• 9:10
  Mike Marrs: It says it has just a hair over 4,000 miles on it.
• 9:14
  Mike Marrs: Okay.
• 9:15
  Don Armstrong: So, in other words, it's brand new.
• 9:16
  Mike Marrs: Yes.
• 9:17
  Mike Marrs: One of 98.
• 9:19
  Jeff Dziekan: Oh.
• 9:20
  Jeff Dziekan: I'm gonna say 42, but I'm thinking it's probably gonna be in the 60s.
• 9:24
  Jeff Dziekan: I'll go 42.
• 9:27
  Don Armstrong: Jeff Heitzman says 55.
• 9:30
  Don Armstrong: Jeff's a lot closer.

  Don Armstrong: It's sold for 94.5.
• 9:34
  Don Armstrong: Oh wow.
• 9:36
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh well, see, if Jeff and I put our money together, you would have had it.
• 9:40
  Mike Marrs: There you go.
• 9:40
  Mike Marrs: So it's a 5.0 supercharged coyote motor, 825.
• 9:46
  Don Armstrong: But you know what, Mike?
• 9:47
  Mike Marrs: Forgot.
• 9:48
  Don Armstrong: I'm sorry, it's still a Mustang.
• 9:50
  Mike Marrs: It is.
• 9:51
  Don Armstrong: And I I appreciate every bit of that card.
• 9:54
  Don Armstrong: Don't get me wrong.
• 9:55
  Don Armstrong: It's just not my cup of tea.
• 9:56
  Jeff Dziekan: It must be signed by Carol Shelby.
• 9:58
  unknown: I don't know.
• 9:59
  Jeff Dziekan: Oh, he usually signs the glove box or something.
• 10:01
  Jeff Dziekan: It could be.
• 10:01
  Jeff Dziekan: Of course, that would be in the photo if it was.
• 10:03
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, no, it's just one of 98.
• 10:05
  Mike Marrs: It's the biggest thing.
• 10:06
  Don Armstrong: Here's one for you, Mars.
• 10:09
  Don Armstrong: A 1966 Plymouth Barracuda.
• 10:14
  unknown: Oh.
• 10:14
  Don Armstrong: Not the Barracuda that we all have grown to love.
• 10:18
  Don Armstrong: This was one of the first ones, and it is ugly.
• 10:24
  Jeff Dziekan: Au contraire.
• 10:25
  Don Armstrong: You know, you like it?
• 10:26
  Jeff Dziekan: I like it.
• 10:27
  Don Armstrong: What is it about do you like it?
• 10:29
  Don Armstrong: I just like the it looks like a valiant in the front.
• 10:31
  Jeff Dziekan: I grew up in that era, so yeah.
• 10:33
  Don Armstrong: Well, hello.
• 10:34
  Jeff Dziekan: I know.
• 10:36
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh, interior looks good.
• 10:37
  Jeff Dziekan: I'm gonna say uh I'm gonna say 27.
• 10:41
  Don Armstrong: And it's it's got a V8 in it.
• 10:43
  Don Armstrong: It looks like it's all stock and standard and and actually been restored.
• 10:47
  Jeff Dziekan: And that back glass, I'm sure, is an arm and a leg to replace if anything.
• 10:51
  Jeff Dziekan: If you can find it, you can find it exactly.
• 10:53
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, it's 273 cubic inch.
• 10:56
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, that's gotta be it.
• 10:57
  Don Armstrong: That's that's stock, that's stock stock.
• 10:59
  Jeff Dziekan: Mr.
• 11:00
  Jeff Dziekan: Heistman says 29.
• 11:02
  Don Armstrong: Well, everybody's overbid because it's only 17,850 is what it's sold for.
• 11:09
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah, that's that's in range there.
• 11:11
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, that's in range.
• 11:13
  Don Armstrong: Unbelievable to me.
• 11:15
  Don Armstrong: I mean, I thought that was outstanding, and they are mild.
• 11:19
  Don Armstrong: All right, my daughters don't like these cars.
• 11:22
  Don Armstrong: I and I don't know why.
• 11:24
  Don Armstrong: Uh, I've always liked these cars.
• 11:27
  Don Armstrong: This one is a 1969 Chevy El Camino.
• 11:32
  Mike Marrs: El Camino.
• 11:34
  Don Armstrong: And it's been it looks like it's been taken care of.
• 11:36
  Don Armstrong: I love the bench seat up front.
• 11:38
  Don Armstrong: Looks all stock and everything.
• 11:39
  Jeff Dziekan: Wait, what year was it?
• 11:40
  Don Armstrong: 69.
• 11:42
  Don Armstrong: Chevy El Camino.
• 11:44
  Don Armstrong: How can you tell?
• 11:45
  Don Armstrong: You can tell by that that little lip around the front bumper that kind of goes back toward the fender wheel.
• 11:52
  Don Armstrong: That's what makes the difference between a 68 and a 69.
• 11:54
  Mike Marrs: Oh, and one of the things I liked about this car is the fact it is a bench seat car.
• 12:00
  Don Armstrong: Yes, me too.
• 12:01
  Mike Marrs: Yes, because the bucket seats in one of these cars is not much.
• 12:05
  Don Armstrong: I mean, well, and not only that, but what do you what if you got, you know, somebody you want to take with you besides the the wife or whatever?
• 12:12
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, but I still like, you know, if you got the seat like that, she could still slide over.
• 12:16
  Mike Marrs: Oh, yeah.
• 12:17
  Don Armstrong: Oh, well, there's that too, yeah.
• 12:19
  Don Armstrong: Or if she's driving, you could slide over to her.
• 12:22
  Don Armstrong: So what do you think that that's sold for?
• 12:24
  Don Armstrong: Jeff says 19.
• 12:25
  Don Armstrong: Jeff says 19.
• 12:26
  Don Armstrong: Jeff's pretty close.
• 12:27
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, I'm gonna go 17.
• 12:28
  Don Armstrong: 17, 22, 575.
• 12:31
  Don Armstrong: Okay, very good.
• 12:32
  Don Armstrong: That I see, I would yeah, you need something like that.
• 12:36
  Mike Marrs: A nice car.
• 12:37
  Mike Marrs: Finally do that.
• 12:37
  Mike Marrs: It really is.
• 12:38
  Mike Marrs: Does it have AC in it?
• 12:40
  Mike Marrs: I think I saw a compressor in one of the other pictures.
• 12:42
  Mike Marrs: Okay.
• 12:42
  Mike Marrs: That was I got wrote down as a 350 cubic amp.
• 12:45
  Don Armstrong: Next up, a 1970 Chevy CK.
• 12:52
  Don Armstrong: A CK meaning that it is a 1500, it is a half ton.
• 12:57
  Don Armstrong: Now it's got a straight six in it.
• 13:00
  Don Armstrong: I would go for that straight six, probably before I'd go with the V8, and here's why.
• 13:05
  Don Armstrong: Because look, it's it's even got the dog dish hubcaps on it.
• 13:10
  Don Armstrong: This looks like it's all completely stock and original.
• 13:13
  Mike Marrs: I'm gonna do that.
• 13:14
  Mike Marrs: I could do this.
• 13:15
  Mike Marrs: 38,000 miles.
• 13:17
  Don Armstrong: $8,000.
• 13:20
  Don Armstrong: With a 8,000 miles on it?
• 13:21
  Don Armstrong: 8,000 original miles?
• 13:23
  Mike Marrs: 38,000.
• 13:24
  Mike Marrs: I'm not sure.
• 13:24
  Don Armstrong: Oh, 38,000.
• 13:26
  Don Armstrong: Well, that's that is a uh 235, let's see, 70.
• 13:31
  Don Armstrong: Oh no, they may have bumped it up to 250, but yeah, it's two fifty on this one.
• 13:35
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, it's two fifty.
• 13:36
  Don Armstrong: Because the original engine, which is it's still basically the same, was the blue flame six that they used in the original Corvette.
• 13:44
  Don Armstrong: Anyway, the story eight grand for me.
• 13:47
  Don Armstrong: Eight grand?
• 13:48
  Don Armstrong: IMC.
• 13:49
  Don Armstrong: Did Jeff chime in?
• 13:50
  Don Armstrong: Uh here he is here he comes uh 26.
• 13:54
  Don Armstrong: Well, guess what?
• 13:55
  Don Armstrong: He wins a 1970 Chevy CK 27,038.
• 14:00
  Jeff Dziekan: I didn't want it anyway, so it's a lot of money.
• 14:03
  Jeff Dziekan: All right, yeah.
• 14:04
  Don Armstrong: That that that would be something that I'd be interested in.
• 14:06
  Don Armstrong: I don't know if I'd pay$27,000 for it, though.

  Don Armstrong: It's very colorful interview.
• 20:26
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, it truly was.
• 20:27
  Don Armstrong: A great guy.
• 20:28
  Don Armstrong: All right.
• 20:28
  Don Armstrong: Time now for this week in auto history, Mr.
• 20:30
  Don Armstrong: Mars.
• 20:32
  Mike Marrs: So a few things we found coming up this week in auto history that you can check into.
• 20:36
  Mike Marrs: Uh 1994, on August the 15th, Ford began production of their contour and their Mercury Mystique.
• 20:45
  Mike Marrs: Now, basically, all this was was uh the European design Mondeo being brought into America because of their change the way they wanted to do or approach the mid-sized market in America.
• 20:57
  Mike Marrs: A lot of imports were coming in and they wanted to get in uh to that and change to a different style, doing away with the tempo and the topaz that were uh originally competing against the Japanese and European imports, so they've upgraded to this and uh made a big change in Ford's progress there.
• 21:15
  Mike Marrs: Then in 1906, August the 16th, the Mason Motor Car Company in Des Moines, Iowa, of all places.
• 21:24
  Mike Marrs: This is where the Deucemberg brothers built their first cars.
• 21:28
  Mike Marrs: This is what they did before they actually started building the Ducemberg vehicles, and uh it was a two-cylinder vehicle, and it had a lot of uh different implementations of that or technology of the particular time, and this is where they experimented with their their car building and what they decided on that eventually led them to build the the famous Ducemberg vehicles.
• 21:50
  Mike Marrs: Then on August the 17th in 1915, this is something that changed everything for all of us.
• 21:58
  Mike Marrs: If you've worked on cars and misses.
• 22:01
  Mike Marrs: You can't get the disease.
• 22:03
  Don Armstrong: Can you imagine without that?
• 22:06
  Mike Marrs: I mean I I I can't.
• 22:08
  Mike Marrs: I mean, uh it would not only was it a safety issue, people got hurt with the hand cranks and stuff, but you know, just this and the progression of it.
• 22:15
  Mike Marrs: I mean, how many times did you take a screwdriver and get down there on that solenoid to jump it because of the windings are shot in the middle?
• 22:20
  Jeff Dziekan: Well, there should be a sticker that says hit it here.
• 22:22
  Jeff Dziekan: Or hit it here.
• 22:24
  Jeff Dziekan: Sorry, with a broomstick.
• 22:25
  Mike Marrs: Exactly.
• 22:26
  Mike Marrs: I mean, but it just so Cadillac did this and they set it up and they started in 1912, which I didn't really understand or know that it went back that far.
• 22:34
  Mike Marrs: But this was a Cadillac deal that changed everything for all the automobiles.
• 22:40
  Mike Marrs: So then on August 20th of 1960, this is this one kind of fabricasted me.
• 22:46
  Mike Marrs: You remember the Dodge Dart?
• 22:48
  Mike Marrs: This is the original Dodge Dart.
• 22:50
  Mike Marrs: What I remember was a little mid-size sedan or a coup.
• 22:53
  Mike Marrs: Uh, if you were lucky, it had a hot rod motor in it.
• 22:56
  Mike Marrs: But this is the Dodge Dart in 1960.
• 22:59
  Mike Marrs: And they started really seeing how things were going to go.
• 23:01
  Mike Marrs: They sold over 306,000 of these vehicles.
• 23:05
  Mike Marrs: And uh it actually helped them out through the 1957-58 Depression, and it gave them a stronger full-size offering at a time whenever they were everybody else was starting to cut back and the sales were getting weak.
• 23:18
  Mike Marrs: So this is the original Dodge Dart.
• 23:21
  Mike Marrs: Even got a wagon for you, Jeff.
• 23:24
  Mike Marrs: I love it.
• 23:25
  Mike Marrs: August 20th, 1969.
• 23:28
  Mike Marrs: The Skyline, the Nissan Skyline that everybody sees is fantastic hot rod from the imports, Fast and Furious Millies.
• 23:36
  Mike Marrs: This is the original Skyline that was built by the Prince Motor Company.
• 23:42
  Mike Marrs: Nissan took them over and eventually molded them into uh the Nissan performance packages and the vehicles that we know now.
• 23:50
  Mike Marrs: And the one on the bottom right, the red, was one exactly the last one that the engineering, the print motor company engineering was all involved with.
• 23:59
  Mike Marrs: So it was started out as a modest four-door family design, and now it's ended up movie screen with hot rods that'll jump through tall buildings and swim massive streams and go really fast.
• 24:11
  Don Armstrong: So that's just a few of the Did you did you you you just did that to put make a little dig at me talking about swimming again?
• 24:18
  Jeff Dziekan: Did you write that?
• 24:27
  Mike Marrs: Well, you know, you gotta you gotta keep your clothes on to drive it though.
• 24:33
  Don Armstrong: I don't know why.
• 24:34
  Don Armstrong: Because you're leathering, technically some of the stories making headlines this week.
• 24:42
  Don Armstrong: Federal lawsuit seeks ten million dollars from Tesla for a Virginia woman who crashed into a hair salon while test driving a Model Y.
• 24:50
  Don Armstrong: The suit by Alem's wood lawlet, who had never driven an electric vehicle, says a Tesla spokesperson, salesperson, assured her that it handles the same as a gas vehicle.
• 25:03
  Don Armstrong: But the Y she was given to try out had been set to the quote unquote insane mode, which allows it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 3.3 seconds.
• 25:15
  Don Armstrong: The salesperson did not accompany La Gallette on her September 24th, 20 uh 2024 drive, which ended moments after she had stopped at a red light near the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia.
• 25:28
  Don Armstrong: Quote, as plaintiff pressed the accelerator, the vehicle lurched forward at an extreme speed and horsepower compared to the force placed on the accelerator, the suit says.
• 25:40
  Don Armstrong: The sudden acceleration caused plaintiff to lose control of the vehicle and to crash into a nearby storefront.
• 25:47
  Don Armstrong: The crash left Lawlet with serious and permanent bodily injuries, according to her complaint.
• 25:55
  Don Armstrong: Laugolette 59 is a database developer for the Federal Reserve Board, according to the independent.
• 26:03
  Don Armstrong: She initially sued Tesla in Virginia State Court in March before the case was moved to U.S.
• 26:09
  Don Armstrong: District Court in Tesla responded to the suit in state court saying Law Gollette had failed to take reasonable care and did not take reasonable steps to mitigate her alleged damages.
• 26:21
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 26:22
  Don Armstrong: She just barely pressed the accelerator pedal in in the I'm gonna die mode, and it shot it forward.
• 26:28
  Don Armstrong: Why would you why would you let her take the car by yourself?
• 26:32
  Mike Marrs: Exactly.
• 26:34
  Mike Marrs: Why would you Yeah.
• 26:36
  Don Armstrong: Here's a story I gotta get in.
• 26:38
  Don Armstrong: After more than 13 years and$50 million in restoration work, Henry and Clara Ford's Fair Lane estate in Dearborn is set to reopen next summer.
• 26:46
  Don Armstrong: The reopening marks the culmination of a painstaking effort to restore one of the most important industrial area estates in the country that's up in Dearborn, closed since 2010 as a living history experience.
• 26:58
  Don Armstrong: Central to the reopening is the No Velvet Ropes Experiential Tours Fair Lane is planning for visitors to the 57-room historic home on the banks of the Rouge River.
• 27:10
  Don Armstrong: It's powerhouse, experimental lab, and garage.
• 27:14
  Don Armstrong: The powerhouse actually powered the house, literally.
• 27:18
  Don Armstrong: From the river.
• 27:18
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, from the river, the water in the river.
• 27:21
  Don Armstrong: I'm gonna kind of guess.
• 27:22
  Jeff Dziekan: There was a skip house there that I've got my initials in.
• 27:25
  Don Armstrong: Henry Ford built the powerhouse on the Estraite uh because it was needed for work on Fairlane.
• 27:30
  Don Armstrong: Edison assisted in the design of the hydroelectric plant that harnessed the energy.
• 27:34
  Don Armstrong: Now, here's I'm gonna have to shorten this up because we're running out of time.
• 27:38
  Don Armstrong: But the story says that the furnishings of the home are either recreations or stuff that they had to go out and find.
• 27:46
  Don Armstrong: I did not know this, but over the years they took all of the furniture that was in the house and sold it off.
• 27:52
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah, they had options for it, yeah.
• 27:54
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh I've yeah, I lived 15 minutes from there.
• 27:56
  Jeff Dziekan: Uh the Fairlane Mall, the Fair Lane Hotel, everything was Fair Lane at the time.
• 28:00
  Jeff Dziekan: Dearborn, it was a great time of the of growing up there.
• 28:04
  Jeff Dziekan: And it's you can take tours of it.
• 28:06
  Jeff Dziekan: They've got uh all kinds of neat stuff there.
• 28:08
