Hello, welcome to Carcast, I'm at the Motorrader Dinger here with Bill Goldberg. Hello,

good morning sir. I'm doing all right, getting ready for Seema show and then LA Auto Show and and there's

plus many other events that I don't think I'm going to be able to get to, but I was going to be

jealous because you were going to see the new Dodge unveiling at Seema, but now I'm not. Yeah,

so many things are changing for sure, but yes, yeah, I mean, you brought up an interesting point

already. Some of these companies are pulling out of the Seema show and it has nothing to do with

Seema. It has to, in this particular case, Dodge, all of Stellantis, the Dodge brand, which usually

has a big presence in South Hall with others happened over the past couple years with with

Moe Power and had the crate engines and the jeeps and all that stuff and then they, I don't know,

I think they did some stuff outside and some over landing stuff and it was a big presence to have

there. I wonder if you're while you're speaking about the overall presence, the driving experience.

Yeah, so if they managed it and put the bill for it, then they're not going to be there. So what's

happening is the UAW strike, the union that's on strike, it's been going on longer than anybody

hoped it would and the car companies are being forced to really cut expenses. So that's kind of

what's happening. So Dodge has completely pulled out of the Seema show. Honestly, in the next few days,

I'm not sure who else is is going to make that sort of change, but it'll be an interesting

deal over there. Now, if you got a sponsored car or something, a dollar car or whatever and you

built it for the show, there's still going to be plenty of Dodge Jeep vehicles there. All those

builds will be there. But the official corporate booth is not going to be set up and this late

the game, I think it's probably just going to be a lounge area. They're going to set up some

high tops and maybe some water stations and that's about it because it's going to be a big empty space.

Yeah, and I don't want to get into it by any means to the detail we could, but yeah,

...
