'REAL' EV maintenance and some very real maintenance safety issues that don't make the headlines! May 08, 2023

Show notes

Reading the headlines, it is very easy to think that an EV - Electric Vehicles - doesn't have the same maintenance issues or schedules that an internal combustion engine vehicle has. That is somewhat true, however, due to the very nature of being 'electric', the EV has some very different maintenance concerns that still include cooling systems, fluids, and some very special safety tools that are required by a truly certified EV tech.
Joining us is the Senior VP of Operations for Opus IVS, a support/training/knowledge data base organization who will share some eye opening aspects of maintaining an EV. Sure an EV is quiet and quick, but it is also heavier than the ICE vehicle equivalent so wear and tear is 'different' for starters.
Join us to hear more from this aspect of EVs professionals that doesn't make the headlines.

AI meets RVing - the AdventureGenie is out of the bottle! A review of the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Trailhawk! May 07, 2023

Show notes

Camping and RVing has long been a family tradition. Many people started with the idea of simply getting away to nature. Back when the family truckster was a station wagon, folding the seats down and sleeping there was an easy start. From there, an upgrade to a tent and the associated gear to eat and sleep in nature came into play.
For many of us, roughing it is a cheap motel, but for others, a luxury RV is the only way to go. Some people even go to the point of living in their RV, traveling around this big country of ours. It is always a challenge to find the next stop, the next campground or sight to see. Books, maps, even a big road atlas became to tools to find tomorrow.
Technology is our friend...sometimes. Scott Lengel, CEO of AdventureGenie joins us with an example of how technology is not only our friend, but might just become an important part of 'living' in an RV. Join us to hear more about this fascinating development and learn what it might mean for your next RV experience.
In our Feature Segment, the New Car Showroom, Michael Marrs takes a look at the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe - one of the most awarded SUVs goes EV with a plug-in hybrid power train.

More from Sampsons' Performance and Restoration - from the engine shop. Bobby Sparkman, and more family connections. May 05, 2023

Show notes

The Hot Rod Tour of Texas is now in it's 2nd year!
From a simple idea of families getting together with hot rods as the common theme, the Hot Rod Tour of Texas was born. Now in the second year, 300-automotive enthusiasts signed up to start the tour in Victoria, Texas. Don Armstrong made the initial event, and this year, the rest of the crew couldn't stand not getting involved. So we met up with the tour and tagged along talking to some of the participants and the a few of the hosts.
