Michael Ratcliff is talking about the all wood architecture of the HEMI Hideout! Mar 09, 2023

Show notes

While we are all about the cars, the signs, the automobile memorabilia and the sheer amount of unusual material in the HEMI Hideout, it is the building that makes it. The building makes it possible for all of this 'stuff' to be in one place where it can be enjoyed by so many people.
Joining us on this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk is the man behind the design, Michael Ratclif. Not only is this building awesome in design, but there are no nails, no bolts - only wood and glass.
In our Feature Segment, Jeff Dziekan is looking at 'Five of the Fastest EVs.'

Signs and automobilia with Otto Dorris at the HEMI Hideout and it is This Week In Auto History! Mar 08, 2023

Show notes

What brings an Okie down to the Houston Area for the weekend? The 10th Anniversary of the HEMI Hideout of course.
Otto Dorris is known as a 'sign expert' - someone that knows a lot about how the old signs were made and what it takes to restore one. While not his main business, selling 500-1,000 signs a year means plenty of wheel'n and deal'n as sales send them out, got to restock the inventory. So more finds gotta' be found.
In our Feature Segment, Konrad DeLong shares 'This Week In Automotive History'.

HEMI Hideout 10th Anniversary with John Hovis and a review of the 2023 Maverick Hybrid. Mar 05, 2023

Show notes

For over ten years, John Hovis has been collecting...all sorts of stuff. He started with some of the vehicles that he wanted in high school, but never could reach. Then about ten years ago, he decided to build an event center that would house his collection.
Like John's world, it would be unique, yet classic in design. Then one thing led to another....like some automotive related signs... and another...like classic John Deere tractors... and another... Motorcycles, boat motors and just more stuff.
We are at the HEMI Hideout for the 10th Anniversary of John's Dream. Join us as John introduces his dream, a little history, and sets things up for our guest during our LIVE broadcast.

The 'team' is putting together and entry to run in the Texas Mile - a speed event in South Texas.

High School Auto Shop failing programs? Greg Ditch says 'Not here!' Getting our 'Kicks' with Nissan. Mar 02, 2023

Show notes

For years we have talked about the automotive tech shortage in the work place. Dealerships have taken to providing incentives and some have even gone into the training business so they can develop their own.
We think one of the issues starts very early, like in high school. Many of us grew up with auto shop classes being available in the high schools. We could learn some of the basics, or even better ways to do things. For some of us, it also let us know how far we wanted to go 'pulling wrenches'.
Budget cuts, technology, student interest, there are a lot of reasons that there are not as many of these classes. However, we found Greg Ditch, Napperville High School Auto Shop teach that is growing his attendance, particularly the female students.
Join us as we learn more about the instructor that has turned the program around, as well as what he thinks the secrets to success are.
In our Feature segment, Don Armstrong has been in then New Car Showroom with the 2023 Nissan Kicks SR, and shares his thoughts in this review.
