Car Insurance - Hate it? Love it? We look at why it is going up and up! Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

Almost every state in the country has a requirement that drivers have a minimum amount of automobile insurance. For most drivers, it is something we pay for but don't use...if we are good and or lucky. It is something that you don't want to have to use, but when you do, you are glad you have it.
Since we all have it, almost, shouldn't there be some economies of scale? Some sort of 'reduction' in price? Maybe so, but the rates are going up after several years of being flat. In this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk, we look at some of the reasons for the upward trend and how consumers can find the right insurance.

Once one of the 'big' names in U.S. automobiles, Nissan has quietly continued building some quality vehicles. Buyers continue to buy, so the updates have been slow coming.

The new Aria is on the floor as well as the redesigned Nissan Frontier.

Camp Jeep is at the Houston Auto Show 20223 and we have the Car Clinic. Feb 01, 2023

Show notes

People go to car shows to see the latest stylings in the automotive world - bright chrome, luxury interiors, and a lot of performance under the hood. Buyers or just thinking about buyers often do a side-by-side comparison to narrow down choices without having to go to several different dealerships.
Even with the additional ride and drive opportunities being developed, more and more people want real life experiences with off-road vehicles. That is tough to do, but Jeep has developed the Camp Jeep concept. It is designed to show off some of the capabilities of the Jeep products in an off-road environment. Not exactly out in the rocks or mud, but pretty close.
Sergio Armenta joins to let us know about Camp Jeep.
In our Feature Segment Jeff Dziekan shares about luxury brand Cadillac getting into F1 racing!

The advent of the 'ride and drive' feature at the auto shows really does give consumers a better 'look' at potential vehicle purchases. Comparing vehicles side by side is a real advantage and the rides make it better.

Not only are the trucks in a 'ride and drive' but the setup has some unique features to demonstrate towing capability. Joining us on this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk is Ram Track Manager, Benny Mungia joins to talk about the elaborate setup that visitors to the Houston Auto Show can enjoy.
