| 0:00.0 | Hi guys, we're back on the podcast. Happy Tuesday. I tell you. Hope you had a good weekend. |
| 0:04.6 | Also hope you saw our latest piece that just dropped since the last podcast. It was a |
| 0:08.7 | kind of came together on its own, which was pretty cool. We had Toyota sent us a Grand |
| 0:12.8 | Highlander, and we wanted to put the Grand Highlander with stuff. We went seeking out the Kia |
| 0:17.1 | Telluride. We found a used one of that with a mostly new version of the Rivian |
| 0:23.4 | R1S. But the reason we pulled that, if you haven't seen the piece yet, I was just looking |
| 0:28.0 | around. And those are worth nothing used. One year old ones are 60 grand, and some of them, |
| 0:36.5 | depending on the spec, are worth 50, which is right exactly what a Telluride or a Grand Highlander will cost you if you buy one new. So we thought that's an interesting oddball comparison. I hope you saw that on our original channel. It's actually playing pretty well. Thank you guys for the comments. We're also getting in those comments where I would never buy these, but I liked watching this. That honestly, I consider that the best compliment. That is a win. |
| 0:54.8 | I will take that all day long. So thank you guys for watching. We appreciate you being here with us. We have all of it. News, big topic Tuesday. That is one of those unsolvable conundrums, which is great. Cool car debates, conclusions, questions. We're going to dive right in. Yes. Hello to all of you. Thank you for your feedback and your comments. We did ask for it when we discussed All Wheel Drive on the last podcast episode and called it dumb because it's dumb. So thank you for your comments. We really appreciate it. Continue to share that episode because, yeah, it's just so controversial and it was a lot of fun to discuss. It's a political question. It's so funny. You and I don't do religion or politics, except apparently whether or not all wheel drive is good or what drive train is best is about as political as we get. Yeah, for sure. Jumping in with some news up front, we have been having our eyes on Longbow Motors because this is an EV cool lightweight fun roadster. |
| 1:47.0 | And I wanted you to know the configurator is live. |
| 1:50.7 | If you haven't played with it yet, here we go. |
| 1:53.1 | I've got longbow motors pulled up and you can select the roadster or the hardtop. |
| 1:56.9 | I'm kind of a hard top sort of guy. |
| 1:58.7 | Agreed. |
| 1:59.3 | So their two-tone paint configuration is a bit odd. It's very odd, but check it out. Front paintwork. So over in the right column you can design with paintwork. So I'm just going to start with blue. Here's bleh. It's much better when it's all blue. I did that earlier. Yeah. Then you can start the back date work. Don't do that. Don't do that. And do some pretty strange color combinations. You remember in the 80s when cars were available two tone? At least that was like the top half of the car and bottom half of the car. This is like they diagonally split it. Yeah, they did. It was right. It's almost like the boat bond line, like when the hole meets the upper. |
| 2:35.3 | And it's kind of that way. |
| 2:36.6 | So I tried, of course, red and bleh. |
| 2:40.2 | And then I did all solid colors. |
| 2:42.5 | And then I switched it to blue and red. |
| 2:44.9 | So there you go. |
| 2:46.0 | It's just kind of fun to play with. |
| 2:47.4 | But you know what? |
