Pit Stop: Jesus Take the Wheel (Patreon Special Re-release) · BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Variety Show

0:00
We always have a blast chatting with our guests about all sorts of
0:03
different topics, but sometimes we go off the rails and dig deeper into
0:07
their automotive and motorsports pasts.
0:09
As a bonus, let's go behind the scenes with this pit stop mini sode
0:13
for some extra content that didn't quite fit in the main episode.
0:17
Sit back and enjoy.
0:17
Enjoy, and remember to like, subscribe, and support BrakeFix on Patreon.
0:25
All right.
0:25
So, all right.
0:26
So now what we'll do is we'll do this thing called a pit stop, where we
0:29
get to know you a little bit better.
0:30
We ask you some off the wall questions and maybe elaborate on some of the stories
0:34
and whatever you want to talk about.
0:35
So you guys good on that?
0:37
Yeah.
0:38
All right.
0:39
I mean, we can, we can wax.
0:40
No, no, this is good.
0:41
This, this is actually a really, this is a really technical episode.
0:45
So I like this.
0:46
So one of the questions I had, and then we'll get to the real
0:50
fun ones that Brad likes to ask, we've mentioned more than once.
0:54
on the drive through, uh, which is our monthly recap episode about a gentleman
0:59
in California who has gotten his jeep stuck on a mountain biking trail.
1:04
So I don't know if you had heard about this story and if you didn't, Brad will
1:08
elaborate, but I wanted to get your feedback on this particular jeeper.
1:12
Do we know this particular jeeper?
1:14
We do not, but we've talked about him on our news.
1:19
Which one of you two did it?
1:24
Dude, that's a constant story, man.
1:27
These guys go out on those, um, those hill trails and they just,
1:34
Oh God, they just, just don't.
1:38
So this, so this particular gentleman, Brad, do you want to
1:40
explain in short how this worked?
1:43
Uh, this idiot went out and basically he took a bike trail instead of
1:49
like a hiking trail bike trail.
1:51
Yeah.
1:51
Obviously it's not wide enough for even a side by side, let alone a Jeep Wrangler.
1:56
And you know how those new Wrangler, like the JK owners get is like,
1:59
Oh, I just got myself a Jeep.
2:00
I can go through anything.
2:01
Watch this, you know, hold my beer kind of stuff.
2:04
Yeah.
2:04
Four wheel drive, bro.
2:05
Yeah.
2:05
Four, four wheel drive, bro.
2:07
And he got all four tires are still touching the ground that when you high
2:10
side the whole vehicle, it don't work.
2:11
Yeah.
2:12
So he said he's on this bike trail and he gets, I don't know if he started
2:16
early in the morning when it was dark or whatever, but he gets to a point
2:19
where it's a cliff on either side and it's about like four feet wide and
2:24
his vehicle sitting at like that 35 40 degree angle fall off this cliff
2:30
and it's just, it's just parked there.
2:31
Somebody spotted it.
2:34
Eventually he got like a, a local jeepers club, uh, with the help
2:40
of a helicopter went out and they helped pull the vehicle back.
2:43
I don't know how the helicopter was involved other than spy photos, but.
2:47
Uh, the Jeep has being recovered, but, but yeah.
2:51
What, what would you say to lift it up and carry it?
2:54
Yeah, maybe.
2:55
Well, that's what I was about to say.
2:56
If you get, if you getting into the game of getting a helicopter
2:59
to recover you, dude, can you imagine what the bill will be?
3:02
That's Operation Dumbo.
3:04
Drop territory right there.
3:05
Mobo drop, operation ass drop.
3:08
Yeah, that's, that's exactly what I was about to say.
3:11
Operation Dummy.
3:13
Oh.
3:14
See these guys.
3:17
who do this stuff, you can't tell them nothing.
3:20
You try to, Hey man, it's probably not a good idea.
3:23
No, no, I'd be all right.
3:24
It'll be all right.
3:25
I got, I got 500 pound feet of Torquem's.
3:28
All right.
3:29
It's like Hearst purrs.
3:30
Yeah.
3:31
I got Hearst purrs.
3:33
All right, bro.
3:34
You go ahead and do that.
3:35
So icing on this particular cupcake.
3:38
Is that some brilliant individual and I'm not using sarcasm here at Ford offered
3:44
to go pull him out with a new Bronco?
3:47
Yeah, how did that go?
3:49
Well, he declined the offer.
3:50
All right.
3:51
Yeah, I bet he did.
3:53
But can you imagine?
3:55
The ball busting will never stop.
4:00
So that led me into my next question.
4:02
What do you think about the new Bronco?
4:04
I love it.
4:05
Eh, I feel so dirty for saying it because I think they kind of,
4:13
they missed a mark with me with going with a IFS on that thing.
4:16
That thing is literally the size of a F-150 and it's an off-road
4:20
vehicle, and y'all deemed it necessary to put a IFS on there.
4:24
Now look, I know an IFS.
4:27
can be worked with and can be a decent platform, but something of that caliber
4:34
should have came with a straight axle.
4:36
And I can, I see it already.
4:38
Pete, they're going to rip that IFS right the hell out of there.
4:41
So would you say that's the biggest disappointment or the fact
4:44
that it's not coming with a V8?
4:46
No, I thought it was coming with a V eight negative ghost runners.
4:50
Why did I read that?
4:51
There was a V eight model.
4:53
It's only an eco boost that that V eight.
4:56
That V eight will be when everybody LS swaps it and
4:57
puts that solid axle under it.
4:59
Yeah, exactly.
5:00
Exactly.
5:00
It takes a Chevy.
5:01
It takes a Chevy to make a Ford.
5:02
Good.
5:03
Ooh.
5:04
Ooh.
5:05
Shots fired.
5:05
That's fight words.
5:07
. Some would say that about a Jeep because, uh, I've seen a lot of Ls, Jeeps.
5:12
Running around.
5:14
I mean, the LS is just a great motor.
5:16
It can either be in a sports car, you can truck it, or you can buggy it.
5:21
And it's perfectly, it's an all around, it's an all around engine.
5:24
Yeah.
5:24
Just one of the greatest motors in history.
5:28
It is the only thing Chevy got right, but we'll leave that where it stands.
5:32
Yeah.
5:32
Get your ass down.
5:34
Sorry.
5:35
The cat is trying to jump up on you.
5:37
I thought you were talking about me and Daniel.
5:38
I thought you were talking to Daniel.
5:40
Sorry.
5:43
They got the square body right.
5:45
Yeah, whatever, whatever.
5:49
But back to the Bronco, I think that's kind of where who asked me that Brad
5:54
about the technology versus utility.
5:58
Again, I think Ford struggled.
5:59
I'm pretty sure the research and development went in there
6:04
and they were like, Oh, what can we do with a straight axle?
6:09
I'm sure somebody asked that question, but then a bean counter
6:13
or some physicists was like, Why do we need to do a straight axle?
6:18
Independent is more controllable on the highway.
6:22
It rides better on the highway and we can still get a little bit
6:25
of off road utility out of it.
6:28
Well, do you think that was bean counter?
6:29
You think that was focus group related for the fact they know it's going
6:32
to be a lot of like soccer moms?
6:33
Yeah, I think, I think I was wrong in saying bean counter because honestly, a
6:38
straight axle would have been cheaper.
6:40
I think you're, you're not too far off the mark with the bean counter.
6:45
Cause I think the Bronco, I think the Bronco is actually built on the
6:48
Ranger chassis, not the F one 50.
6:51
And I think that the Ranger is a, uh, is an IFS.
6:55
I don't think the Ranger has a front and a side.
6:58
Yeah.
6:58
But the new Rangers, the size of the old F one 50.
7:01
So it's huge either way.
7:02
Yeah.
7:03
So I've seen a few of those things running around.
7:05
I can't believe how expensive that truck.
7:07
I drove, I drove one when they debuted, we were down in Texas and we
7:11
got an invite to go test drive one.
7:12
I wrote an article about it.
7:14
And I was, it was kind of like the Bronco where it's like, why
7:17
does this have a four cylinder?
7:18
Like put a V6 EcoBoost in it.
7:20
I mean, that's the unfortunate trend because V10s are pretty much gone.
7:27
V12s are pretty much gone in certain sports cars.
7:32
Now V8s are next because ice ice motors in general are out the door.
7:36
Yeah.
7:37
Yeah.
7:37
Oh, yeah Pretty much.
7:39
Yeah, I think Ford sees that it's unfortunate But we're gonna have silent
7:44
cars here within the next 10 years It's like so speaking of silent cars.
7:49
Have you put in your order yet for the new Hummer?
7:52
Ooh, now that's my friend.
7:55
I'm sorry.
7:59
I like that.
8:00
I like it.
8:01
So have you seen the new Hummer EV commercial?
8:04
Yes.
8:05
We were talking about it crab walks.
8:08
There are guys literally doing that now.
8:10
They can make their, their buggy crab walk and, you know, counter turn
8:16
to like, jump it around a boulder.
8:19
It's like, it's crazy.
8:20
It's crazy.
8:22
Uh, no.
8:23
So, so, so that begs the other question.
8:29
Well, if he ain't going with a Hummer, you're going to get the
8:31
lyric then the Cadillac, because that's basically the same thing.
8:35
First off, I will never buy another GM vehicle ever again in my life.
8:39
All because of the GTO, because Pontiac did not stand by that car whatsoever.
8:45
Cause it wasn't a Pontiac.
8:46
It was a Holden.
8:47
Unfortunately, they got rid of the best thing they had in their lineup.
8:51
That and the, uh, G8.
8:53
Which was the HSV.
8:54
I still don't understand why GM shut down.
8:58
Holden made no sense.
8:59
That was definitely where the bean counters came in.
9:01
Oh, come on.
9:04
Hold on.
9:06
I'll call her back.
9:08
Sorry about that guys.
9:09
No worries.
9:09
GM's dead to me, even though that new Corvette.
9:15
Is interesting.
9:16
I don't know what that, how I feel about the new Corvette.
9:19
You don't fit in if you're six three and I'm six four, we don't fit.
9:23
Yeah, don't even worry about it.
9:24
Oh dude, you should have seen me get into my buddy's VR one.
9:27
Oh, that was a show.
9:31
. . I think getting out would've been even better.
9:32
Dude, I'm up here.
9:33
Like I got like half the parking lot cracking up.
9:36
Oh, I got in there.
9:37
I was like, oh, oh, lemme turn around.
9:39
I gotta get in ass first.
9:42
And then I bust my ear hitting the, uh, that pillar didn't know I was bleeding.
9:48
So I'm bleeding in my, my buddy's a hundred thousand dollars ER one.
9:52
And then when I shut the door, dude, I was like, think small, he's six, four.
9:56
But fortunately on the driver's side, they were nice enough to
10:00
give more space to the driver.
10:03
But me, I was done, dude.
10:05
My leg was up against the door.
10:07
I was smushed and then I can tell he doesn't know how to drive properly
10:13
because he's stabbing the gas in mid turn and I'm like, Oh God, we about to go
10:18
into this thing, but first, but anyway.
10:22
So as soon as we're talking about new vehicles, what do
10:25
you think about the Wagoneer?
10:27
Being a Jeep guy.
10:28
I don't like it.
10:29
Really?
10:30
The front end looks like a lit up chandelier.
10:32
Like if I want a chandelier, I'll go put one in my house.
10:35
I don't need my car looking like a rolling chandelier.
10:38
I ain't got nothing.
10:39
I mean, I can't fault that logic.
10:41
I mean, it just makes sense.
10:42
Well, I was going to say his, uh, his Mercedes doesn't have the lighted
10:45
three pointed star on the front.
10:47
And you don't have that option?
10:47
That is the tackiest Mercedes thing in the world.
10:50
No, because mine is back when.
10:52
They used to make where men were when Yeah.
10:55
back when men were men.
10:57
. Well, yeah.
10:58
Back when we were men.
11:00
. So let me ask you this, you brought up a story about driving a JL off road.
11:04
Do you want tell that one?
11:05
Uh, no.
11:06
I didn't drive it off road.
11:08
Oh, okay.
11:08
Why did, oh, my S eight had to be put in a shop.
11:13
And I don't remember why I do remember why this is going to be a good conversation,
11:17
but anyways, they didn't have any loaners.
11:20
So they sent me to enterprise and they gave me a yellow jail.
11:23
So big ass black dude, driving a yellow jail.
11:32
But anyways, I was shockingly surprised.
11:36
At how sturdy that thing is because there were things about the JK that annoyed man.
11:41
I'm like, why did they do that?
11:42
Why does this feel like this?
11:44
And the JK, you know, wanted to drift and stuff like that.
11:48
But the, the JL is quiet.
11:51
You don't hear a whole bunch of buffeting.
11:53
Anymore in the, in the, uh, roof, it's just a well put together vehicle.
11:57
And then I started looking up under there and their control arms are like,
12:02
they will be upgrades for the JK.
12:05
That's how beefy they are.
12:06
So what I'm hearing is this is how it translated into my brain.
12:10
Fiat got something, right?
12:12
Is that, is that what I heard?
12:14
Yeah.
12:14
If you want a really good American car by as much as I hate to admit it.
12:21
Look, Fiat controls Chrysler.
12:25
I get it.
12:25
It's the best thing to ever happen to Chrysler.
12:27
Yeah, I think so.
12:28
Because Hellcat.
12:30
You can see where they're engineered.
12:33
Huh?
12:33
He said because Hellcat.
12:36
Because Hellcat, yeah.
12:38
And what's the new truck?
12:39
The Raptor Beater.
12:42
Rx the Power Wagon.
12:44
It's like the, it's like the, the RX or something.
12:47
R tx.
12:48
That thing has 700 horsepower.
12:50
What?
12:51
For, why?
12:52
Because this news.
12:53
Who cares, bro?
12:55
Oh, I was like, that is the, I'll tell you, I, I said this on another episode.
12:59
When you walk into the Chrysler factory, there's a sign that
13:02
says, we don't give a shit.
13:04
Send.
13:04
Does it really?
13:05
I mean, seriously.
13:06
They don't care.
13:08
. Yeah.
13:09
So I looked at, I looked at the Hill Catt.
13:11
I started gooning over it a couple of years ago.
13:14
I'm like the white one with the black, black on white.
13:19
I was like, man, look at that.
13:21
I ended up getting a charger as a loaner because my commander was in the shop.
13:26
And I was actually impressed at how well the Dodge chargers mannerisms are.
13:34
Especially at high speeds.
13:35
Like I'm up here doing 90 and it feels like I'm doing 55.
13:38
I'm telling people to move faster, especially as Brad would say, for
13:43
being a 400 year old Mercedes.
13:44
Have you looked at this suspension?
13:48
There is nothing American about that suspension on it.
13:51
No, not at all.
13:52
I've never seen an American car come with what are the three
13:55
fricking control arms and.
13:57
Oh yeah.
13:58
The modular wishbone.
13:59
Yeah.
14:01
I told the dealer, I was like, you know what, I want to go
14:03
look at that Hellcat over there.
14:06
And then the closer I got to it, my eyes, you know, was analyzing everything.
14:10
I'm like, does that really say 265.
14:16
30?
14:17
And this thing's got 700 horsepower.
14:19
Dude, I'm gonna be ice skating all over the damn place in this thing.
14:23
And then, but it's Pirelli PZ Rose.
14:26
I don't care if it's Jesus grip, you don't put that kind of tire on a 700 horsepower.
14:34
Are you kidding me?
14:35
This is a joke, right?
14:37
And then I'm like, I'm looking at the sticker.
14:39
Them off roaders got that Jesus grip.
14:41
Yeah.
14:41
Yeah.
14:42
Jesus grip.
14:43
I'm looking at the sticker.
14:44
It says 88.
14:45
5.
14:47
And I'm like, okay, well, let me sit in it.
14:49
And then I'm, I'm feeling the material and I'm like, dude, y'all want
14:55
80, 000 for a souped up police car
15:00
is for wrong.
15:01
It's wrong.
15:03
How y'all how this interior is.
15:05
And he was like, yeah, but, but the, but the screen, damn the
15:09
screen, look at this material.
15:11
Like I'm feeling all around and I'm like, nah, this ain't what I want.
15:17
So, I mean, it's a, it's a cool car, but yeah, I'm, I'm too hoity-toity now
15:22
that I'm used to like SA interior d bougie, because that's like my benchmark.
15:27
basic now that's what, that's what it's all about.
15:30
Which actually leads in, leads into one of Brad's Great question.
15:33
So we'll do it this way.
15:35
We do in the garage, we do the million dollar Man.
15:37
Which one do you wanna do, Brad?
15:39
Uh, well, we're gonna do 'em both, so, all right.
15:41
This is the million dollar man question.
15:42
If you had all the money in the world, what would you buy?
15:45
A house.
15:46
No, a car.
15:46
It has to be a car.
15:47
Oh, oh.
15:48
Vehicle.
15:49
Vehicle.
15:50
A houseboat.
15:53
Oh, house and boat.
15:54
Okay.
15:55
Uh, I was like houseboat?
15:57
Wait a minute.
15:58
Ooh, for my car?
16:00
Hmm.
16:01
All right, so for you don't you don't have to be able to fit in it.
16:04
This could just be the car that sits in your garage.
16:07
Yeah, because you also bought lipo in a couple inches shorter.
16:11
Yeah, but if I'm if I'm worth that kind of money, because I
16:16
can, I'll customize that bad boy.
16:19
Yeah.
16:19
You'll pull a shack.
16:20
Yeah.
16:22
Right.
16:22
Head right out the top,
16:25
but I'm happy as hell.
16:28
So Ferrari just released a vehicle that I don't know the name of it.
16:33
I haven't been keeping up with Ferrari in a long time, but man, the angles
16:37
on that bad boy, and she's blue, red.
16:42
With that orange or yellow, uh, Ferrari emblem, you know,
16:46
which one I'm talking about.
16:47
It's got like the really swoopy headlights.
16:49
Oh, is that the 812 super fast?
16:53
I think that's it.
16:54
That's got the two round lights in the back, like a Ford GT.
16:57
Yeah.
16:58
The 812 super fast.
16:59
Oh my gosh.
17:00
That thing is gorgeous.
17:02
Yeah.
17:03
I would get that for my truck.
17:07
We're got right into the three car garage now.
17:10
Yeah.
17:11
My truck would be that Chevy.
17:13
No, the GMC.
17:15
Hold on guys.
17:16
Cause I think I plugged up the wrong charger.
17:19
My phone.
17:20
There we go.
17:22
Well, you said no more GM.
17:24
No, I I'll, I'll make an excuse for this one.
17:27
It's that giant is looks like a Tonka truck.
17:30
It's the giant GMC Kodiak.
17:34
Yeah, I'm just, I'm taking up four fricking parking spaces.
17:41
Asshole.
17:42
But you can't tell me shit.
17:44
So you say you wouldn't do the six wheel G wagon.
17:48
You wouldn't do the six wheel G Wagon pickup.
17:51
Oh, I got the six wheel G wagon pickup.
17:53
I saw it was so cute.
17:55
Hold on.
17:56
Hold on.
17:57
That was some trick photography right there, man.
17:59
I don't know where it is.
18:01
It must still be in my car.
18:02
Dude, this thing comes with a front locker, center locker.
18:07
And the two axles lock, like it can crawl on an RC.
18:10
Really?
18:11
Yeah.
18:12
And that's bonkers, man.
18:14
It's got a high gear and a low gear best 1200 bucks I've ever spent.
18:19
Dang.
18:20
Yeah.
18:21
So the million dollar man question leads into our.
18:23
this infamous three car garage.
18:25
It's usually on an island or a racetrack or wherever you want it to be.
18:29
And there's all these variables involved and people have gotten
18:31
very creative with their answers.
18:33
So you kind of gave us two already.
18:35
Would there be a third vehicle in your three?
18:37
These are the three cars you would live with the rest of your life.
18:41
The rest of my life, man.
18:42
What kind of question is that?
18:43
Yeah, man.
18:44
If you could only have three cars, that's it.
18:46
What would they be?
18:47
Or three vehicles?
18:48
I mean, you can go back.
18:49
You can change up your answer.
18:50
Because I led you into this.
18:52
You can change them out now.
18:54
So, what would be in your three car garage?
18:56
If it had to be a permanent vehicle?
18:59
I'm kind of liking that lucid sky.
19:02
Can I get my, can I get my updates with the lucid?
19:07
How good your Wi Fi is?
19:09
It has to stay in place as is, because if I can get my
19:12
updates, I think I can survive.
19:15
Like, did I get my candy cane OS on this thing?
19:20
Got that Fruit Ninja.
19:22
I think Tanya, Tanya talked about the Lucid.
19:24
That's like the hot underdog EV right now because it's a bunch of guys from Tesla.
19:29
They got mad and went and started their own thing.
19:31
Look man, I've been drooling over the Lucid for about a year and a
19:34
half now, two years, and they're finally about to release it.
19:38
I think that's going to be a game changer.
19:40
I mean, Tesla's already adjusting their prices.
19:42
Yeah.
19:43
You like, you like that Cylon front end?
19:45
I think that's super dope.
19:48
I'm finding out that I have a love for any vehicle that has like animated headlights.
19:53
I love how the Hummer has the charging lights that kind of like
19:58
have the sequential charge on it.
20:00
Kind of like, I'm charging my phone, I'm charging my Hummer and they
20:04
both have the sequential charging.
20:06
Yeah.
20:07
That's cool.
20:09
Do you think off roading is going to be the last motorsport to go EV?
20:12
I don't think so.
20:14
First off, I don't know what Tesla was thinking with the cyber truck, but I
20:18
think the Hummer is going to be a good test bid and I think it's going to be an
20:23
honest shot at being a smart off roader.
20:29
Now, I'm not a big fan of super air suspensions because that's what it has.
20:35
Like.
20:36
This thing is going to be able to raise the vehicle, uh, 10 inches
20:42
or something like extract mode.
20:43
What the hell is that?
20:45
It will be able to fit 40 inch tires without an upgrade.
20:49
That's big to me.
20:51
Oh yeah.
20:52
What vehicle, you know, that can do that.
20:55
And then you are now effectively getting away from the complexity of axles
21:03
because it no longer has a center axle.
21:07
It has traction motors.
21:09
So it doesn't need a locking mechanism that can fail on
21:13
you to actually simulate lock.
21:16
Like one motor can literally just walk the vehicle up the hill or whatever wheel
21:22
has the best traction or they can lock them together without a physical lock.
21:28
Like I'm blown right now.
21:31
That all comes down to amperage or wattage to each electric motor or wheel.
21:35
So also I think because the electric engines torque, I think off road it's
21:41
going to be great because climbing some of those, especially the rock crawling rides,
21:45
you put the gearing down at low enough and it's going to be able to pull mountains.
21:50
Well, they're not even going to be geared from what I understand.
21:53
It's just a direct, I could be wrong.
21:55
I need to do some research, but based on what I saw, I think
21:59
the rear motors are coupled, but the front motors are individual.
22:04
I don't know.
22:05
I I'd have to do a little bit more research on that.
22:08
But as you know, in the off road community, somebody eventually wants
22:11
to give it 10 years after they're out.
22:13
They're gonna find ways to put some sort of reduction in there and stuff like that.
22:17
Oh, yeah, like do with doublers and things.
22:19
Oh, yeah, like a portal axle or something.
22:21
Yeah.
22:22
Oh, yeah, that'd be cool.
22:24
So let's flip back to something fun.
22:26
Sexiest car of all time in your opinion.
22:29
I'm gonna have to give it up to that.
22:31
What's that car?
22:31
That just did 331 miles an hour.
22:34
Oh, yeah The two the two atara.
22:37
What's hara dude?
22:39
They hit all the right angles on that bad boy Now, I don't know
22:45
if you saw my post on Facebook, but I said something hilarious.
22:49
I was like, I would have, I would have shat myself at 268.
22:55
I literally would have dropped a dookie right there in the middle of the car.
23:01
Dude, because like just watching how.
23:04
The the line splitter start.
23:06
It just became one line.
23:08
I'm like, you realize how fast you're going?
23:11
Let just a gust of wind.
23:13
Let somebody sneeze across the street.
23:16
That car's done.
23:18
And he did 331 miles an hour.
23:21
Allegedly.
23:22
Allegedly.
23:24
Allegedly.
23:24
We don't we.
23:25
Oh, it's un, it's un that unverified.
23:29
Yeah.
23:30
There's a whole bunch of drama around that too.
23:32
So Bugatti is still leading out there.
23:35
Guinness Book of World Records was out there.
23:37
Yeah.
23:37
But they said, they say it was unverified.
23:39
They had to do it multiple times.
23:42
And the GPS is that the use were inaccurate.
23:44
And there's a whole bunch of litany of stuff.
23:46
So, and then, and then there's like, some people say it didn't, it didn't do 300.
23:50
Some said it did three, 10, some just said it three or six.
23:53
It didn't do three.
23:54
Idiot.
23:55
If you don't think that car didn't hit 300, that man went back to the
23:59
future right there before our eyes.
24:01
And we're up here questioning.
24:02
Oh, he probably didn't do 300.
24:05
That man went to berserk mode.
24:08
When you, the lines in the road become a solid line, you're going fast.
24:15
So flipping the coin, ugliest car.
24:19
Pontiac Aztec.
24:22
Oh, that's funny.
24:23
It's such an in jerk reaction, man.
24:26
That thing, that and its twin, the Buick rendezvous.
24:31
Oh, what were they thinking with that?
24:34
But have you seen the off road version of the Aztec?
24:36
Well, there was an off road version of the Aztec.
24:39
Yes.
24:39
They're okay.
24:40
So like, it had Ripley bottle paneling does not make it an off road vehicle.
24:47
I actually think that was on the American top year that I think Rutledge
24:50
showed up with it and he put like some 30 ones on it that were knobby.
24:54
And surprisingly, it made it look better, but it's still from
24:57
Hill drops didn't help it at all.
25:00
Um, that just goes to show somebody will buy something.
25:04
All right.
25:04
Let me, let me ask you one more.
25:06
All right.
25:06
If you could have a beer with Clarkson Hammond or may, which one would it be?
25:12
Yeah, I don't know if I could take Jeremy Clarkson before I
25:15
have to punch him in the eye.
25:17
You wouldn't be the first.
25:18
But he also makes me laugh, so I guess, what beer?
25:24
I like how that's, that's the important, which beer are we talking about?
25:30
You gotta have a scotch, which you have to make.
25:32
It would have to be a pale ale for me, but I don't drink beer anymore.
25:37
The important part.
25:40
Yeah, I don't know which, it would have to be some kind of pale ale, like I can,
25:44
I can drink that, and it's strong enough for me to like ignore Jeremy's flaws.
25:52
Nice, nice, I like that.
25:54
That's a good answer, that's a good answer.
25:56
But no, you know, it's, it's always a good time when we, when we get
25:59
together, you know, and it's funny because You've come and gone a couple
26:03
of times from GTM and, and, you know, we've really changed over the years
26:07
and, you know, we started as a bunch of track rats and all that kind of stuff.
26:10
And it wasn't, wasn't necessarily for everybody.
26:13
Right.
26:13
But I think over the years we've really kind of Broaden.
26:17
We've taken the blinders off.
26:18
We've broadened our horizons, especially with the definition of motorsport,
26:21
but you know, you'd be amazed how many guys now are into bikes, how many off
26:24
roaders we have, all the different, you know, motorsports disciplines people
26:28
are bringing to the table and the stuff that we've been just going out of our
26:30
way to do because, you know, you can only make, let's Let's use the joke.
26:35
You can only make a left turn for so long.
26:37
Right.
26:38
Uh, before you start to get bored and want to do something else.
26:40
So, you know, it's been an interesting couple of years, you know, and,
26:43
and change and development and the personalities that come to the table.
26:47
So, you know, if you ever want to come back for a third or fourth time,
26:52
You always have a home, you know, well, I mean, I look at it like this.
26:56
I never left.
26:58
I just became inactive and then y'all boot me.
27:01
Well, it's just the way we do it every year.
27:03
If you don't renew in December that we just, we flush out and we flush, you know,
27:07
flush the, but I gotta tell you, man, I've been a fan of GTM over the years.
27:14
I mean, I've peaked in.
27:15
At first it was a little difficult for me to understand and navigate and
27:21
try to figure out how the forms work.
27:24
I remember you talking about doing this kind of stuff way back
27:27
when we used to work together.
27:29
And then you finally made a website and y'all partnered up
27:32
with all you guys doing this thing.
27:34
And it's cool to see that this is, uh, evolved.
27:37
into what it is today.
27:38
I swear to God, I'm actually going to come out and go to one of those meets.
27:43
I really congratulate what you guys are doing.
27:46
I think y'all are doing something that I haven't seen anybody do really where
27:51
you guys are tying in all the disciplines and becoming like a central point.
27:59
For, uh, people to sign up for stuff or expect to show up somewhere at a
28:04
show, provide people a platform to express themselves in their experience.
28:12
I think that's really, really dope.
28:13
And I do enjoy listening to the podcast.
28:17
I've been peaking in on the podcast and stuff like that.
28:20
I wish I was there for the big man in a little car.
28:24
I know, I know.
28:26
You have to do another one.
28:27
Yeah, it was a good episode, man.
28:29
. Yeah, that was, I enjoyed that one.
28:33
We're doing an off roaders edition was six 10 in the, in the pot.
28:36
6, 6, 8.
28:38
. Six eight.
28:38
I'm like, man, you just hating life.
28:41
You can't fit in anything.
28:43
And uh, you're always welcome to come up to the mountain to
28:45
try out the logging trails.
28:46
I got up here.
28:47
Okay.
28:48
All right.
28:49
I'll bring her up there.
28:52
Always good talking to you, man.
28:54
A pleasure, my friend.
28:55
A pleasure.
