Will an EV save you money? Consumer Reports is here, and the Ford Maverick is in the New Car Show Room! Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

Consumer Reports is known for doing consumer related research that is non-biased. What allows them to actual buy products for testing and evaluation is a subscription model. So the vehicles that we talk to them about are often owned by Consumer Reports, with buyers making the purchase without the selling knowing who is buying...whenever is possible.
They have their own test track! So we like to talk to the automotive team as they really don't have preconceived idea about a vehicle, particularly the EV segment.
Joining us on this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk, it is Keith Berry, and we are talking about an extensive report on the actual cost(s) associated with owning an EV - the cost of ownership. The purchase price varies, and there are regional differences in electric rates. The 'free' report can be found at ConsumerReports.org, and there is a really cool EV Incentive Finder that will help find final costs...in some cases.
If you are shopping EVs, you should take a few minutes and listen to this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk.
Then, in our New Car Showroom, Don Armstrong is taking a look at the new Ford Maverick Tremor, a small pick-up directed to the off-road enthusiasts.

We asked Kevin Hall, what is Texas Nostalgia Modified Production ... and it is a lot! Seems many of the cars are former Competition Eliminator competitors that are still wanting to run after NHRA dropped that class.
This week, Kevin is at an event at the Xtreme Raceway Park, Ferris, Texas, and we take a look at what is a Texas Nostalgia Modified Production vehicle. We get a chance to talk with the owner/driver about the car, and what he finds appealing about running in this class.

Upcoming racer Alec Udell is here after Sebring and Daytona races? It is Konrad's Car Clinic. Mar 31, 2023

Show notes

There are a lot of young men that are making waves in the auto racing world at all levels. For us, Houston native Alec Udell holds a special place as we have been able to watch his progress over the years. Like a lot of racers, things started at a go kart track, and he actually spends a little down time there to this day.
This year, Alec has had a lot of opportunities to get behind the wheel, and that includes out at Sebring and then Daytona. So we caught Alec with some time to bring us up to date on his racing efforts, along with his driver coaching, and a few other things he has going on. As always, it is great to hear from Alec.
In our Feature Segment, it is Konrad's Car Clinic.

Mov'n vehicles across the state, across the country - we learn how. We review the 2023 F-Raptor~ Mar 28, 2023

Show notes

There comes a time when a lot of us have to move - like move across the state, across the country or wherever. Sometimes, we can drive all our vehicles, so we need a transport company....who? where?
Then there is the business of cars - car dealers have to move vehicles all around to balance, inventory, maybe make a sale, maybe dealer trades. A lot of reasons that the business needs to move product around. Again, who? Where?
We talk with Mike Trudeau, EVP of Business Development for Montway Auto Transport, a 3rd party logistics company. Our co-host Konrad DeLong has actually used this company twice to move vehicles across country. Join us to learn more...
In our Feature Segment, Don Armstrong takes us on a review of the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R....a beast that just got better!

Naperville High rolls south to the Texas Mile! Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

We start this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk with our guest, Greg Ditch, who is at the Texas Mile with his High School Auto Class. They left Napperville, Illinois, with their shop built S-10, intending on running at the Texas Mile.
Racing is racing, so a spun bearing left the S-10 in the pits, but the team was able to secure another 'ride' from a sponsor on the way south. Unfortunately, between their connection and ours, the interview got cut short. We did learn after the fact that the team was able to post a 160.1mph pass during their first weekend at the Texas Mile.
We wish the travelers safe travel home, and home they had as much fun as it looked like they were having.
You can see a picture of the team and a brief synopsis on the In Wheel Time Facebook page.
In our Feature Segment, Michael Marrs takes a look at the 2023 Lexus NX350 in our New Car Showroom.
