Hey everybody, yes, I'm Matt major from growth
mode content. Welcome to good news York It is
a very special episode. You know, it's a very
special episode because Danny counted us in I
don't know if he's ever actually on that Danny's
fire We're suddenly like legit. Yeah, this was
the episode. Yeah, it's a big episode as you
can see behind us Matt is turning 100 years old
It's true. I'm so you look great. I do oil of
Olay bags and everything all the bags what's
going on man the trolls I don't Well, we're old
and we look like shit Mike. I know happening
No, I know that but what I'm saying is the trolls
are seeing in on our eyebags on yours and mine
and I don't know if that's good because it's
so here's the thing You had a couple people point
it out to you and I sort of broke your chops
about it Yeah, as you should and as karma happens
to You got it. Last night at an event, somebody
made a joke about it to my face about mine. Oh,
shit. And then... Did they really? Yeah, yeah.
I was like, oh, that's funny. Ha ha. Who does
that? Yeah. One of my friends. It was funny.
Oh, boy. Real funny. Larry. And then we actually
had a troll comment on one of our videos that
has gone crazy. And I'll be honest, I was expecting
a lot more, because I have that video that opens
up right in my face and you can see how horrible
they are. And so far, I only have one. But like
I said, it's karma, because I was harassing you.
But here's the thing. First of all, you look
beautiful, so don't listen to the trolls. But
second of all, I want to make it clear. Look,
first of all, we work very hard. That's why we
have eye bags, and we're old. You do too, okay,
but also the lighting we're working on the lighting
the lighting doesn't do us any favors I'm not
making excuses, but it does like I know I have
eye bags, but man there's some days I watch clips
And I'm like Jesus Christ. I look like a zombie
bro. No amount of light is gonna fix these Samsonites
We're carrying around all right Samsonite you
are way off listen. I love you who cares about
the trolls It's our 100th episode is literally
100 episodes, and we have a guest we do but not
just any guest We got a returning champion He
is, you know what? That's a great way to put
it. He is our returning champion. You need a
belt. I didn't get a belt. Damn. Ladies and gentlemen,
it is fitting that for our 100th episode, we
have the man that gave us our most... Our first
100 ,000 view video. Yeah. And it is the man,
Dan Garcia, from The Garage. Welcome back. At
3100. At 3100. But no, thank you. Thank you for
being here, but thank you for giving us our most
viral clip. We were talking about this off the
air. It was one of those things where, you know,
we're constantly putting clips out, and we don't
monitor the views every second, but that was
the first time where we're like, hey, this is...
What we're talking about is the... I simply asked
him, and this was a throwaway question. It was
the end of the interview. I just went, hey, is
it a myth? Do you need to get an oil change every
3 ,000 miles? Holy shit, man. What a topic, because...
that people were fighting in the comments. I
think someone left their wife. What's wild to
me is the number of people that didn't fight,
but had to chime in. Yeah. And it's like every
dad on the internet just had to share with you,
I do it at 3 ,000. I do it at 8 ,000. I do it
at 5 ,000. It's... Nobody even argues about that.
There was a lot of positive. But it was very
interesting to me that everybody just happened
to have to share their particular routine. You
guys are stupid. I do it every 10 ,000. Read
your owner's manual. All right. Okay. But it
was not only highly debated, but it just seemed
like it was something that people were chomping
at the bit. It was awesome. So we're going to
definitely have some more questions. And so we're
going to whore you out. I don't want to throw
any shade. To our man, okay He is absolutely
in the all -time Hall of Fame because he was
the first to hit a viral video But it is no longer
our most viral video. Oh, sorry, buddy. You've
been dethroned break it then so here's the thing
that's also There it is come see me there it
is do engine swaps every 5 ,000 You just get
about every five five days and just go engine
5 ,000 change your oil gonna have a pile of Motors
packed up behind the shop. It's gonna be awesome
great Fitting, today we hit, for the first time
ever on Facebook, one million views in the past
28 days. Are you? Whoa, whoa, whoa. We need more
zeros here. I'm not acting. I'm just finding
this out. When you sent that last night, I thought
you meant one million views since we started.
No, in the last 28 days. Bro! That's... That's
ins... Just on all our videos? Facebook. Just
on Facebook? Just Facebook. Wow, dude. Yeah.
Yeah, so I mean that's led primarily by My video
from the wild that's got it's close to half a
million people. Here's the thing doesn't me Here's
the thing. I want to I'm gonna be completely
transparent That video we posted a little over
three weeks ago. It's got It may have hit a half
a million. It was at like 497 earlier this morning,
but Two days ago, Danny posted his video from
the wild. It has only been there for two days.
It's already got over 65 ,000 views. So I think
there's a real good chance, as much as I wanna
brag, I think Danny's video's probably gonna
eclipse mine. And if we're being completely honest,
his video's better than mine. It's a nicer video.
It was a great video. It was a great video. That's
why you can see the difference between me and
the guy that I hired to be the actual professional.
Video guy. Meanwhile, mine has, oh wow, a whopping
242. Now listen, here's what's wild. Wild. The
puns just make themselves. That video that's
gotten a half a million views on Facebook got
156, not thousand, 156 views on TikTok. Okay,
okay, I see what you're saying. Danny's... One
that's doing well on Facebook as well is doing
phenomenal on tick -tock It's got tens of thousands
of views already again in just a couple of days
So it's very it's just that whole world is still
very interesting to me and wish there was a guy
we could call like Joe algorithm We're just like
hey Joe. Can you just tell us like what how do
we figure you out? I will say that as we're you
know Deepening into this world. We are figuring
out more and more and I will say that tick -tock
Might be the closest to transparent about some
of those things So they've got some new tools
that Danny started playing with where you can
upload a video and it'll immediately Tell you
if it's got some sort of issue to give you a
little bit of a little bit of information And
and they do try to be a little I feel like more
forthcoming with the things you should and shouldn't
do. That being said, there's still so much of
it that's an absolute mystery. And they're about
to get bought by Oracle, so it's all gonna be
fucked. Let me ask you this, actually. I'm starting
to see more and more videos of, I don't know,
just random content creators. in my feed that'll
say here's the reason why you're not getting
views and this is what you have to do with the
algorithm and I'll admit I reason you're seeing
that is because and I have that too unfortunately
it's pissing me off because that's now exclusively
my feed oh yikes because you know we're in that
business and I'm looking at those sorts of things
but that's not all I want I still want to see
the funny videos yeah and my algorithms every
video here's how you do this here's how you do
body cam footage and puppies you gotta buy the
course yeah yeah but here's my question I scroll
past them because it annoys. I feel like it's
a sleazy ad or do you think there's some value
in what some of them are saying? No, I mean they're
genuine creators and here's the whole thing just
like anybody else. That's the niche that they've
created. They get views on videos telling people
how to get views. You know what I mean? And that's
cool. Like I said, there's a niche for everybody.
Is there a machine somewhere? In like some underground
bunker that is the algorithm? That's how I picture
it. It's just software. Lines of code. Lines
of coke? Oh, lines of code. I was like damn.
Probably some of them involved in the creation
of some of these systems. That's good. Now there's
going to be cocaine everywhere. Cocana. We've
got these stats that I've sort of talked about
a number of times since we've began, in terms
of how many podcasts, just as podcasts, make
it. And the reality is the vast majority don't
make it anywhere, right? Sure. And this is the
thing that we have told our content. Clients
from the beginning Podcasting and in this level
of organic content creation. It's a slow burn.
It is a slow burn It's not like an advertisement
that the second you put it up somebody's gonna
go and buy that thing You know, it's it's kind
of building a reputation. It's building an audience.
It's cultivating a community and We live in a
very instant gratification world. Yes, so I can't
tell you how many guys and it's not just guys
But I'm gonna say though how many guys start
a podcast put it out there and go I'm not Joe
Rogan in a week. What the hell? So they just
don't do it anymore. I think that's honestly
part of the reason why a lot of people don't
succeed is because they create, they curate their
content and they post their content in a way
that makes, in a way that they think that that's
what's gonna happen. They're gonna post it and
it's gonna go viral. Instead of just creating
quality content consistently. Right. And I'm
noticing it. You told me that. I'm the most impatient
person in the world. I'll just start getting
random messages from Metta or TikTok like, hey,
we've upped your distribution because you've
been posting good content consistently. So it's
like going to the gym. It's like anything. You
just chip away at it. It takes time. It takes
time. So to that effect, I just want to share
some stats. And I have the official stats. I've
spoken off the cuff a few times. Luckily, what
I've said seems to be accurate. I'm going to
crunch the numbers here. So podcast episode milestones.
And what this is giving us is how many episodes
in and the chance of people reaching that many
episodes. Where are you seeing this? What is
this? Podmatch .com. Oh, I thought you meant
it was tailored to us specifically. No, no, no.
Just podcasts in general. So 36 % of podcasters
make it to episode eight. 36%. To episode eight?
So like just over a third. They're the only ones
that make it to episode eight. To make it to
50 episodes, it is just a hair over 10%. 100
episodes, 5 .65%. So we're in the 5 .65%. We
are in the 5 .65%. So I'm going to give you,
because this is pretty cool, usually that's where
it stops. We've got some more. So this will give
us something to look forward to. 200 episodes,
it goes down to 3%, and 300 episodes is under
2%. And I was doing math on the way here, ironically,
or coincidentally, I get those mixed up, that
our 200th episode should land, if we stay consistent
with how we've been doing, around April, end
of April, May, I think. Which is not that far,
when you think about it. They give us a couple
more stats that I just think are kind of interesting.
They say approximately 655 podcasters quit every
single day. Which is just a wild stat. But you
gotta start to quit. And the last thing they
give you is just the likelihood of success. 5
.65 % hitting 100 episodes. We are the likelihood
of success. The chances of failure in podcasting
are 94 .35%. That's unbelievable. Two things.
One, one of my favorite quotes, which ironically,
now I'm using it right, I don't remember exactly
the quote, but I'm paraphrasing, but Jerry Seinfeld
basically said once, he goes, I was never the
funniest comedian. Who are these people? I was
never the funniest comedian. That's the truest
thing. But he's like, I was never the funniest,
but all the people that I was coming up with
gave up and I just stuck around. I mean, that's...
persistence right and number two here's my question
though those numbers are amazing but in this
world that we live in in podcasting it's a do
-it -yourself thing right so I don't understand
when it says people don't make it past the fifth
or eighth episode right that blows my mind because
they're not getting fired that means they're
themselves just giving up that's what I'm saying
it's so easy to make it past the eighth episode
if you just keep doing it right it's Are you
just you're doing it to yourself? It's an instant
gratification thing and don't get me wrong. I've
been there I've been a part of podcasts that
didn't make it more than eight episodes you were
on the fucking forefront my friend I've been
in other ones that have lasted this many so It's
in any case That's our celebration. Happy hundredth
Wow Episode congratulations to you. This is your
brainchild. I will We were thinking about a balloon
drop, but then Danny was gonna have to clean
it all up It was gonna be a whole thing Quickly,
I want to just give a couple of shout outs. So,
you know, obviously, Mike and I on the show,
you've seen probably Danny behind the scenes.
We've also got Amanda, who is our kickass. The
Janine to our Ghostbusters. She does the incredible
still photography you see all over the place.
She does our guest booking. Just an all around
spectacular person. I wish I could clone her.
My son, Malachi, who is here. He is our editor
on the show. He is the one that He makes this
available for you to see every day. He's one
of the most important people in this operation,
and he's the one that's the farthest away. Yeah.
And he's here today, which was so great to see
him and give him a big hug. And I forgot how
large he was. My god. Tall, tall man. Tall man.
But thank you to the whole team for making this
happen. Well, how about thank you, man? This
is all, when I saw it, when we talked in December.
of 24, and you had this whole idea. I didn't
quite grasp it. I got the concept. You have come
up with this idea. You've stuck to the plan.
But more importantly, you've made adjustments
on the fly to make us better. And none of us
would be here without you, man. So you're so
you're smart. You're talented. You're a great
businessman, and you treat your employees like
gold, man, and you wanna talk about karma. You
know, I think the 100th episode is just scratching
the surface for you. Not for me, for you, man.
You deserve it. I appreciate that, buddy. I mean
it. But now, as you said, let's get to our guest.
Sorry, buddy. Now I feel like I'm neglecting
the poor guy. I know. Dan is the car man. Car
man with good karma. So we talk about the garage.
We also don't talk about quite as much He's got
a car lot so you can go purchase a vehicle This
is the guy and I would love if you don't mind
buddy to sort of start there for a minute and
and honestly I'm gonna be a little selfish I
need some car advice. Yes. So I've got a month
left on my lease Ready to give the car back have
no idea what I want to drive going forward I
like the idea of a lease Because a there's some
business benefits for me, right? But also as
I'm kind of shopping around and I'm looking I'm
seeing some of these places have the purchase
price is the same if not less than the lease
price Which is a little mind -blowing to me.
Obviously you still get some of the business
benefits, but also it was nice that you got,
you know Considerably cheaper price than the
to buy a vehicle I'm sure tariffs are gonna play
a part. Yeah So Dan, I just love your advice
on where the car market's at Should I consider
buying pre -owned? It would have to be newer
pre -owned. You know what I mean? And what's
your thoughts on that? Well, my professional
opinion is never buy out your lease. Yeah. I
don't want to do that. It's ready to go back.
I hear a lot of people, they'll ask me the same
question, and they're questioning. Well, I think
I should just buy it out, because I'm just going
to buy another used car, and I'm like, don't
buy out your lease. You already paid the depreciation.
They're going to sell it to you with more depreciation
still. Oh, good. You usually buy the same car.
It happens. The market right now, we're not seeing
really inflation on the new stuff. Used, it's
come down some. It's not like it was. But honestly,
most value right now, just buy new. If you can
afford it, buy new. If you can't afford new,
then obviously the used would be the option.
But my best advice is, if you like the lease
prices and the benefits for you at least, keep
leasing. A lot of good lease deals, especially
towards the end of the year, right? Sure. Everybody
has a lot of stuff that they need to move, because
all the 26s have been rolling in. I got you.
They have 25s they want to move. So for you,
I'd look there. On the used market side, things
have been about the same the past probably five
months. You're not seeing much drastic drop like
you were for a little while, but you're also
not seeing a consistent rise. Yeah. It could
change. towards the end of the year where the
tariffs hit. You know, we had that tariff scare,
I think, around the last time I was here. And
it was like, whoa. And now it's more like, yeah,
you don't really have to do much. You just watch
the prices. Find the best deal. Sure. A lot of
the times, you might have to shop around to the
different dealers to find the better lease deals.
But they're out there. Another thing I wanted
to ask you is, so a couple of things that I...
have really gotten spoiled with in these brand
new cars. There are a couple of these, what I
think are real modern features, right? Like the
automatic cruise, the radar cruise, there's the
specific name, I'm blanking on it for it. Lane
Assist. Lane Assist, yeah. And then my car currently
has the 360 camera. Yes. I don't want anything
without these features anymore. Yeah. If I were
to consider used. How far back could I go and
still get those? Are they only the last few years?
No, it depends on the trim, usually. Yeah. And
depends on the make and the model. A lot of the
Toyotas and the Hondas and the Lexuses, I mean,
they've been doing the 360 stuff probably since
2016. OK. But you got to go high trim. Sure.
They're great features. Yeah. The lane keep assist,
that's more like 23 and up. Gotcha. Another great
feature. I love it. This is safety that's involved.
It keeps you in the lane. You get distracted
for 10 seconds, but it's still kind of keeping
you there. But yeah, the 360 is definitely a
big one. I'll tell you what. I've got the Audi,
and my wife's got Toyota. And she just got the
newest Toyota. That one, I feel like the lane
assist and everything is just so much better,
which sort of blows my mind. Yeah, Toyota did
a really good job on that. Less expensive vehicle.
But that one has even the brake assist when you
don't have cruise on. You can be just traveling
in traffic, and if it thinks you're getting too
close, it'll automatically slow you down, which
seems a little weird. It sounds like something
that would probably annoy me in all honesty.
It was it's not bad I turned lane assist off
because I'm such a bad driver. It was telling
me you need to pull over immediately and rest
Well, I mean that's fair. Yeah But but also what
I think was neat about the Toyota's I feel like
her lane assist when you turn that on It almost
keeps you centered in the lane like you'd want
to be. My Audi is just like an emergency thing.
It'll wait for you to veer, and then it'll freak
out and jerk you back. I hate that. Like, what
the fuck? I feel like Patrick Swayze from Ghost
is in my car, and he just takes my wheel. The
Toyota, so from experience, my one Nissan Rogue
that is a rental, it has the 360 lane assist,
and I delivered it to a customer yesterday. And
I don't drive it much because it's usually out.
And it was on, and I'm like, Same thing. It was
like throwing me. It was shaking my butt, telling
me, pay attention, essentially. And I'm like,
oh, I forgot this thing has all these features.
And it's a 23, you know what I mean? And it's
not a high trim package either, but it's the
safety that's involved in them. The Toyota one
is great. We had a Sienna, the newer one, and
it centers you versus, like you said, ping pongs.
The ping ponging is not fun. Have you heard anything
about these new Fords that have this? It almost
sounds like a. on the highway, it'll drive for
you feature. The self -drive. Man. Yeah. I haven't
heard much about it. Yeah. I think it's newer
that they're putting out. Yeah. But a lot of
the cars are going with a self -drive option
or a super cruise option, where it's essentially
you just have to have your finger on the wheel.
We're real close to it driving for them. Yeah.
I feel like with all the tech in them, a lot
of them have the capability. They don't have
the legal behind it yet. Sure. The, you know,
I mean, to my knowledge, the only full self -drive
that you don't have to have your hand on the
wheel and you can kind of do whatever you want
is the Teslas. Yeah. And then my Cadillac, but
you have to essentially pay it. You have to look
forward. It has like an eye monitor. Oh, wow.
So it monitors your eyes. So you can't be looking
down at your phone. Oh, wow. Somebody over here.
Shit. It'll like beep, beep, beep, like gives
you a couple of warnings. And if you pass the
warnings, then it essentially tells you no more.
I don't love the idea of these self -driving
cars. There are self -driving cabs in a couple
of Vegas and things where they're testing them.
But here's the thing, it's very scary to me right
now, but I think in a future world, and this
is something they've talked about, eventually
vehicles will be able to communicate with each
other. So as they're doing that, you can be on
a highway and they can know that there's an accident
half a mile ahead and it'll communicate to the
cars back so that you have less accidents and
less proper flow of traffic. That day I think
will be pretty cool. But I think there's gonna
be a Waves between here and there that is not
super cool. I mean the GPS has already know that
like if you're Google Maps It'll tell you like
yeah, like I travel a lot So I'll be in you know,
like Maryland or something It has me getting
off an exit going to the light and then getting
back on the exit just to cut Yeah, 50 people
off and I'm like, oh my god Google your eye.
Yeah, I I love to be driven I don't like to drive
I like to sure, you know who doesn't like to
be driven, right? Yeah, but I this is way too
soon for me just just just like When you get
a new idea with a new iPhone comes out, right?
I wait until all the bugs are worked out and
all the kinks. Because guess what? Bugs and kinks
with a self -driving car means accidents and
death. And I don't want to be that guinea pig.
People have said that. In the IT world, we've
always said that about different technologies
and things. People have always said that, I feel,
about new vehicles, especially a brand new on
the market by the second model year. That's not
a myth. You can X that one. That's not a myth.
You definitely want to wait. Yeah. She like dropping
it back off at the dealer after like 500 miles.
I love the idea, but I'm just like, no. See,
that's the thing. That's the reason that I really
look for these brand new cars, first and foremost,
is because I don't want to have to do anything
other than very basic maintenance. Sure. And
the idea, that's the worst part is having to
fix cars. I know. On the positive side, when
you do have to fix cars, having somebody like
Dan is the best thing you could ever have in
the whole world, because that is an inevitability
no matter what you drive. There's something for
your pros. At least once a year for an inspection,
you gotta come see me. Yeah. Yeah. But for your
pros and cons list of leasing or buying, there
is another check mark for leasing, less maintenance,
right? Because you're getting something newer.
Well, yeah, that's absolutely the case. So that's
another. Or anything with a warranty, that sort
of thing. But Dan, when folks come into the shop,
What is I guess your most common sort of repair
you're doing or is it inspections and yeah? I
do a lot of inspections a lot of just general
maintenance. Yeah But what you're seeing a lot
of on these newer cars That they are pushing
the oil change regimen so far out is a lot of
like engine sludge Oh, yeah, and it's big and
like I said, I have the Nissan rental So we do
engine flushes on that because it's a very common
thing on that model year where they because there
are 10 ,000 mile oil changes and the engines
are getting sludged up. We see them go through
the auction announcement, engine sludge, void
factory warranty. Lack of proper maintenance.
So it's because the manufacturer said, well,
you're going to wait till 10, you wait till 10
,000. You shouldn't wait till 10 ,000. Then you
get an engine sludge. So it's funny you say that
because I keep, this has not been on my radar
till recently. I keep hearing about engine flushes
now. I thought that was something that was a
very rare thing that mechanics did when it was
absolutely neat. Is this a thing that needs to
be done? Yeah, it should be added in as maintenance,
essentially. They're not super expensive. We
do them for like $189 with a full synthetic oil
change. And it helps cut down. It cleans all
the ports out. It takes a little bit longer.
You can't do it at Valvoline. It doesn't take
five minutes. You have to let the car idle for
about 15 to 20 minutes, get it nice and warm,
get all that. Chemical deposits it breaks down
everything inside the engine and then we drain
it out and put fresh oil in how long does that
take? That oil change usually takes we like to
a lot an hour Just because we want to make sure
that you know, then we get all of it drained
So you're essentially gonna change the oil as
well. Yep. I mean, right we change it We actually
drain it where a lot of the quick lube places
now are sucking it out Okay, so it's not coming
out of the bottom of the pan Yeah, they're actually
just sucking it out of the engine And how often
should you do it? So they're not even pulling
the drain plug? Nope. They're doing everything
from the top? Yep. That's wild. That is wild,
man. Yeah. And I didn't know that. One of my
customers told me. And I was like, yeah, we won't
go to Valvoline anymore. They're sucking the
oil out now. And I said, and they know a little
bit about cars. And you want it drained because
the sediment sits at the bottom. Right. How are
you getting it out of the bottom? I mean, you've
drank out of a straw, out of a cup. Sure. You're
not getting everything out, but you poke a hole
in the bottom of it, it's going to all come out
at the bottom, right? Well, that's so ridiculous.
A lot of vehicles still have the filters still
right there. You've got to get underneath. Well,
they'll do that underneath, yeah. But I'm just
saying, I was thinking if you could avoid going
underneath maybe, but you can't. It's because
they hire, you know, they don't know what they're
doing. They strip the drain plugs. They crack
the oil. Oh, I'm sure. And so there's risk involved
with these franchise places to not. So for them,
it's like, if we can avoid having to put a coil
pan job and we can suck it out, they don't. You
don't really care about your maintenance. How
often should you do an engine flush? Here we
go. Those, yeah. Those, it depends on the mileage
of your vehicle, right? So like, if you buy a
brand new car, you don't have to do it for, I
would recommend maybe 30 ,000 miles. But like,
if you have a car with 100 ,000 miles, I recommend
them every like 20 ,000 miles. Some people want
to get them done every oil change. We use a product,
it's a liquid mile. And it's a great product.
They've been around for a long time. And it just,
I saw the difference. So you basically do it,
is it almost like an oil change for you? So you
just fill up the engine with this product? Or
where the oil goes. Gotcha. Put it in there.
Let the engine run 15, 20 minutes. I see. It
breaks down everything. And then you drain it
out. So I did it on my Escalade. It hit 60 ,000.
I saw two miles a gallon extra. Really? Yep.
In the mornings, it was starting to get a little
lifter tick. Gone. Wow. Because it cleaned out
all that. Yeah. Right. And it's common. It's
a GM. So they have a little engine noise. It's
a big V8. But after that, I was like, wow. And
it's a great product. I mean, the rep comes around,
and he trained us on using all their products.
I mean, they have gasoline flushes that go through
the tank. They have. radiator flushed off. I
mean, the company is just, it's well known. That's
great. And now we offer that as an additional
service, you know, because we want to keep our
customers on the road as long as possible. Oh,
yeah. You're a friend, so I'll guide you. You
know, I know you can be in the market for a new
one, but sure. I like to fix cars your kids drive.
No, that's that's fair. But that's these are
ways. And he does. On the road longer. You know,
we want to see you keep the car as long as possible.
If you can trade it out before you have to do
these maintenances. Yeah. you know, what's the
lease now? 30 ,000, 40 ,000 miles. You got to
turn them back in. Yeah. You know, where you
can get so much more out of these cars if you
don't listen to the manufacturer and you go above,
you know, you do less on the oil changes than
they're saying. Because they're telling you 10
,000 because on paper, that looks great for cost
of ownership. So if I, you know, that's all they
care about is what the numbers break down when
they say, oh, this is an affordable car to own
because you only have to get the oil change every
10 ,000 miles. The same thing friends with electric
cars will fight with me about. Well, I don't
have to get oil changes or gas. OK, but your
battery's going to go bad in 10 years. Yeah.
Or a fully gas car is going to run as long as
you maintain it. That's the thing. I just can't
bring myself to a fully electric vehicle just
yet. And I wish I could, but I just feel like
it's not there. And it's a shame because they're
giving them away. I mean, we talk about lease
prices. Ford's got a beautiful Fully electric
truck and you can lease it for like 200 bucks
or something like it's stupid cheap But it's
still it's like I still just I can't bring myself
to do it Do you find that you're seeing people
come in with a lot of problems with electric
vehicles? So we don't we're not certified to
repair them. We can do maintenance on them. We
can do like tires and yeah, that's about it I
mean everything else they and that's the other
thing like the electric car companies have made
it so that You don't You can't repair it yourself.
Independent shop can't repair it. It's got to
go to them. So in reality, what they're doing
is they're building, they're giving these cars
away now, knowing that they're going to go back
out after somebody leases them. And they're going
to have to come in for repairs at some point.
They've cornered them. Like I said, I have friends
with the electric cars. And they tell me what
their dealership bills are. And I'm like, huh?
Like a friend just had to get a seal on his window
replace. It was like $280 for a rubber seal.
Crazy man. Well, what was real wild is if you
remember when that Tesla specifically started
They didn't think about repair parts That was
a there was an afterthought until they had sold
all these cars and people go I gotta do this
and that and there was no they built no market
no ecosystem to For the repairs and maintenance
was like guys. Come on, you know but I Met a
guy a while ago drive one loves it but talked
about doing every bit of maintenance himself
And you know having to get the things and and
in that so I guess if you're real handy, that's
cool But it's just it's not for me yet. Yeah,
I don't know. They'll get there maybe or hybrid
I don't know why we skipped over hybrids. Nobody
can explain this to me. I love the hybrids I
mean, there's a great idea there half gas half
electric non plug -in. Yeah is is golden, you
know, they have great range and they're you know
They're actually repairable. Yeah was where guys
had to just get trained on the electrical system
Sure, not a whole car, you know And if the battery
started to go poorly on those you could still
drive it right where if this full electric car
the battery starts to go bad It's done. It's
on the side of the road. You're not going anywhere.
Yeah, you know What happens a while back now?
I would say a decade ago probably at this point
my wife and I bought a VW TDI or we leased it
TDI, I don't know what that stands for, you probably
do, but basically, it was, yeah, I think that's
it. So it was diesel gas, and I was like, this
is a... How many times have you fucked that up?
Believe it or not, none. It was very, very close.
There was a lot of like, ooh, I'm gonna take
this nozzle up. But the thing was, I remember
thinking, well, we're gonna pay so much more
for diesel. Man, dude, we drove like six hours
to Delaware. And it took a half a take. Why?
Where are TDIs? What happened? Why are there
no more TDIs? I don't see TDIs anymore. It feels
like that should have been the next phase of
the future. You don't remember the whole scandal?
No, I don't. It was a whole thing where Volkswagen's
essentially they... Oh, they lied about the mileage,
right? They tuned the computers to make them
pass admissions. Oh. So they had them all set
up so that they would pass admissions, but really
the numbers... They weren't the real numbers.
They had the car telling the computer, you are
passing admissions. But they were not as eco
-friendly as they said. So there it is. But it's
also, we're in America where every one of those
TDIs that had to get bought back by a Volkswagen,
I think they put them on containers and ship
them everywhere that uses diesel over gas. Because
they do get better mileage. It's just not something
that. Because we're an eco -friendly country.
Okay, you know as much as we can be right I would
say so you can still get some some classic diesel
Volkswagen. Oh, yeah, some bosses knocking when
you start it Yeah, yeah, I just felt like that
that concept, you know, even after the scandal
that concept what it was Kind of caught on but
what do I know? Well, that was also the way,
you know, everybody started making the biofuel
and the french fry gas and all that stuff. Those
were exclusively diesel engines. I got to wonder
if part of, you know, giving people less options.
I used to work at a restaurant. This dude would
come in like once every couple of weeks and genuinely
we would allow him to take the grease from the
trap. for his car, or his truck. And he'd pull
away and it reeked like, he just smelled like
a burger joint. I don't know what the status
is, but there were legitimate businesses that
were collection companies. And they had what
looked like a fuel oil truck that would go to
all the restaurants to recycle the oil. And the
restaurants, it's waste. They're more than happy
to give it to you. But there was a lot of refining
and all that. And then at one point, See today
where gas is kind of high it might make sense
I think one of the areas it lost out is when
it started getting traction the price of gas
dipped, right? Yeah, it started stopped really
making sense. Yeah We really are back up. We
are so I feel like slow I feel like it was around
like two dollars and change what they could make
it for What they could make the bio deep? But
it I don't know it's it's always kind of blown
my mind that that's not more of a thing but I
think the easy answer to all of it is capitalism.
This stuff is better for the consumer, but it's
not going to make the companies enough money.
That's it, really. A couple of the manufacturers
essentially have stopped their EV lines. They're
like, we're not doing it profitable. I want to
say Honda was one of them that said, we're not
doing full EVs anymore. That's great. They're
doing half gas, half electric, or some plug -in.
But that model. is the way to go is half gas,
half electric. 100%. It's self -charging the
car. It's essentially running a generator. I
don't think we have the infrastructure to run
full electric. If everybody in the country had
a full electric car, we'd have no power. We'd
be sitting here in the dark. I wouldn't even
want to roll the dice with a full electric. The
reality is having a backup. We'll build up to
that. You know what I mean? But at the same time,
we've got to progress a little bit more in this
battery technology. Right. Like, we've got to
get more bank for our buck. I just bought stock
in lithium battery mining companies, because
that is... Well, that's... I mean, you're not
going to lose out with that, but, you know, we've
had promises of different things, but we need,
you know... Some people predict the idea of a
battery basically the size of your cell phone.
That your whole car can run on and you pull up
to a gas station and you basically swap it out
plug it in and it's just like a Refill and you're
in you're good to go. That's wild You know if
we get to some kind of world like that Then hell
yeah, you know bring on the all -electric right
sure sure I agree. I agree. That's a hybrid bridge
seems like the logical. Yeah, you know, it's
like a hard switch Let's say cut some emissions
cut some gas but also know that we can make it
where we're going. It's like posting content.
A slow burn. There you go. You gotta build it
up. He brings it full circle. Dan, the Garage
at 3100 in downtown Syracuse, if you need any
sort of vehicle, anything, he is the guy to talk
to. One of the only honest guys, I don't wanna
say the only honest guys, but you - They're rare
in that business. You get not a lot of honest
guys. Not a bad stigma. or guys that you just,
because of the stigma, you gotta spend some time
to figure it out. I'm giving you a shortcut,
this guy's good. Dan, I wanna ask you a couple,
Mike's got some couple rapid fire questions,
but before we do that, let's just grab your plugs
and websites, stuff like that. Yeah, absolutely,
it's thegarageat3100 .com. That's our website,
you can do booking requests, you can see our
services, specials, all that stuff on that. And
then the dealership side of things is cashcarscny
.com. You see all our inventory on there. We
can do vehicle finder. If we don't have it, we
can find it for you. And we are also purchasing
those relics that are sitting in people's driveways
to get them out before winter. Nice. That's great.
Those two things. Like I said, anything automotive.
And then as well as the rental vehicles, no website
for that. We use Turo for the bookings on that.
But check me out on Turo as well. Cool. That's
great. Cool. Mike, what do you got for our buddy
here? Now listen, we talked about this at the
beginning of the show that he gave us our most
viral clip. I don't want you to think we're whoring
you out. I mean, these are actual questions that
I have. Yeah. And if they do well, they do well.
I just recently, and by recently I mean like
a week ago, I was changing my wiper blades, which
if you ever want to feel like less of a man,
change wiper blades. and struggle with them and
have to watch a goddamn YouTube video. I'm laughing
because I know how this story went. I was like,
I got this. It's a wiper blade. I can handle
this, dear. I cracked my windshield like an idiot.
Oh, jeez. Yeah, I... which ironically in the
YouTube video was like, make sure you put a piece
of cloth so you don't crack your windshield.
I'm like, what idiot's gonna do that? Who would
do that? This guy. You really should disconnect
the negative battery cable before anything you
do. Well, I melted a friend's battery. That's
a whole other story. Oh, jeez. But I will say,
shout out to SafeLight, who, that was the most
unbelievable process. So the windshield cracks,
I call. Not only do they handle the insurance
claim, but they're like, hey, listen, we can't
come and do it in your driveway because you have
a sensor on your windshield. We got to replace
the whole thing. And I'm thinking, this is going
to be a fucking... I took it the next day. It
was done in an hour. So shout out to them. I
was very surprised. But with that being said,
the reason I'm doing that is because I'm driving
more. I live in Ithaca, so I drive to Syracuse.
And so I looked up. It was actually after you
were on the show. I looked up, when should I
change oil? Spark plugs. And I noticed it said
wipers. And I don't remember how often, but I'm
at about every three months, I'm noticing that
they're not doing their job. So here's the question,
Dan, the man. How often should you change windshield
wipers? Well, it's not how often. It's buy a
better quality wiper. So spend the extra money,
get a good quality wiper. A lot of the time,
they should last at least the summer. There's
ways to clean them with an alcohol pad as well,
if you get a good wiper. If you're buying $5
wipers, you're going to go through them every
three months, just like if you bought cheap shoes.
You're just going to wear them down. But a nice
wiper with a good flex in it, with a good quality
blade. I don't have any brand preference. You
could usually tell by the quality. What do you
think about the winter blades? Yeah. They have
a little bit more protection so the ice doesn't
get in the channels. And you've got these chunk
wiper blades with ice on them. But a lot of the
newer stuff has the heating element at where
the wiper will sit on the cowl near the windshield.
So you don't really need them. And those flex
wipers have similar to what a winter wiper would.
You ever notice the winter wipers are usually
really puffy? Yeah. And that's just to keep the
ice from getting in? Gotcha. the blade itself.
That makes sense. So what is, I probably missed
it. What's the verdict? How often should you
change the wipers? You know, winter's coming,
so change it, you know, next month. Yeah. And
then probably again in the spring. So by season?
Yeah, usually. OK. Yeah. OK. I mean, if you have
a really hot summer and the car's baking all
the time, they're going to melt on the windshield
at some point. But also, do change them. There's
nothing that drives me more crazy than being
in a car. You don't change them. You do not change
them. I'm done. You come see me, I'm a good wiper.
Go to a professional. Again, that's very nice
of you, but I am not gonna roll into your fucking
garage and be like, I'm here for him to change
my wipers. Like, I've gotta be able to be...
Make it a part of another service, you know?
Just, uh... You know what? Oh, hey, uh... I'm
not doing that. wiper blade service at the same
time. It's like, also, Dan, can you come wipe
me? I have to go to the bathroom. Like, it's
very, I'm not a manly man, Matt. That's true.
You know, I try. We know. I know. I mean, listen,
I wouldn't try to do, I wouldn't go on the stage
and try to do stand -up, so let me come do your
wipers. Yeah, I guess. Fair. I should have brought
a set. You gotta change your stand -up every
time. How to do it would probably work. I've
got a great question. Go for it. This is, and
now this is so subjective, so, but I... When
I was growing up in the 90s, right, and in high
school, I was in a rural town, Herkimer, New
York. I swear to God, there was a turf war going
on between Chevy kids and Ford kids. And I don't
know if this still goes on, but I mean, and there
was always like that one of them ran, what about
Dodge? And they'd be like, shut up. But I don't
know if it still goes on, but you know, I looked
it up and of course my computer rebooted on what
Ford and Chevy are known for. But people get
really mad Guess the question is Chevy versus
Ford. What what is Ford great at? What is Chevy
great at and if you have a winner, who is it?
That's tough. It's a tough one. I know well because
I am a GM guy personally I like my Ford. I mean,
I like my Ford's for like the heavy products,
right? Okay, like I will show up with my Ford
f550 Rollback tow truck to pick you up on the
side of the road, but I'm not driving at home
Gotcha because somebody might have to come pick
me up at some But I love my GM products, my Chevys
and my GMCs. So GMC, Chevy, Cadillac. So you're
team Chevy. Yeah. But if you're running like
a tow truck or something, absolutely get a Ford.
But I've seen too many Fords on the back of a
Ford tow truck. Yeah. And not so many Chevys.
What about in the car realm? Like Chevy or mini
SUV, Chevy, Ford, same thing? Absolutely. Chicken
Tahoe before I take an expedition any day. That's
going to cause, right now, the comments are blowing
up. I missed the 95 Ford Taurus. Dude, I had
a Ford. Well, that's the other thing. Now, I
will take a Ford economy sedan before I'll take
a Chevy economy sedan. Oh, boy. Interesting.
Because Ford kept making them, and Chevy was
like, we're only doing trucks and SUVs and stuff
that is real expensive. Ford, I think this year
they're ending the Focus. Oh, wow. I have two
Fiestas in my rental fleet. They're reliable
cars, but they're cheap. And they show how cheap
they are. Everything gets a scratch. You can
breathe on it. And it's a cheap quality car.
But there's still quality there. Now, the Chevy.
I think the cruises, all of them were blown up.
They put turbos in there and they're all just...
You know, at the repair shop, we see more Chevy
Cruises than anything. We have a guy that comes
in after hours and he does, you know, he can
rebuild the whole Chevy engine with a turbo in
like, you know, six hours. Calls for a 20. He's
good at it. You said Chevy over Ford and then
you just said you saw more Chevys in your shop.
Different models, see? Different models. Sedans.
Sedans. Okay. Big Chevy truck guy. All right.
You know what's funny is, uh, Mike is not exaggerating.
I didn't go to Herkimer. Yeah, you went to Illion.
That was, like, two miles away. People in...
We didn't have this quite this dramatically,
but Herkimer... Was known for kids having fistfights
over Ford Chevy in the park really like that
was a known good. Thank you You're making me
look like guys were you guys were slightly more
country than we were a little know what you got
East Herkimer So that was dude. That's where
we partied Garth Brooks Alan Jackson in a case
of old mill bar bottles Oh, and then a Chevy
or Ford, but yeah, no there were real fight taste
the warm beer This one's this one's a good one.
This one's a good one. Okay What country makes
the overall best cars? I'm gonna get this guy
killed, I think. Nah. I think I know what he's
gonna say, and I think it's gonna be the popular
answer. I think I know what I'm, I think, I'll
guess. I think you wanna say Japan. I love the
Japanese cars for the affordability and the reliability.
I love my GM products because I'm just, I'm a
fan boy. Yeah. You know, we would've been fighting,
I was just saying. Yeah. But. Yeah, as far as,
like, cost, reliability, and it's proven reliability.
I think Toyota or Honda, they all advertise on
a regular basis, like, we have more cars still
on the road from 25 years ago. I mean, right
now, on the dealership lot, I have an 02 Honda
Civic. Dude. No rust on it. With 130 ,000 miles
on it. Think purrs like a kitten. I don't tell
my son in the other room. I'm tell for me When
people ask me like we're talking about cars that
last forever the two that always come up our
Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla and I have a buddy
that drove a Honda Civic till it was like 200
no no no it was like 310 ,000 believe it and
it was good. You know it was It was fine. But
we're programming to think we have to get rid
of them at 100k. Yeah. That's the number, right?
In your head, you're like, oh, god, I'm getting
towards 100. What are we going to do? Right.
You strive a lot more now. But it's maintenance,
right? That same Honda, if you don't change the
oil, it's going to struggle. But it'll still
keep running. It'll run like crap. It'll lose
its mileage. But it'll still keep running. Yep.
So you're saying 100k. Because you're so right,
actually. On the way here, I was looking down.
And I'm going, oh, man, I'm up to 56 already?
And I'm thinking, I'm almost at 100. And for
some reason, that, in my mind, that stick of
like, once you get to 100, it just turns off
and never turns on again. You think it could
go to 200, 300? That Volkswagen of yours, it's
not any Honda, but it'll do well too. There's
a courier company in Utica that I don't know
if they still do, but at the time, they ran nothing
but a fleet of Volkswagen Golfs. And they had
on -staff mechanics. So they got very regular
maintenance. They were all five -speed sticks.
And with the exception of the occasional person
who lied about being able to drive stick, it
would burn up clutches. There was cars that they
would retire at half a million miles. And it's
still running, just like, all right, it's probably
time to let it go. Yeah, yeah. That's wild. It
was incredible, man. And those little hatchback
cars, they take back seats out of them. And you
had nothing but a big cargo area. And ran them
till they didn't run no more. They put four studded
snow tires on them in the wintertime that go
like snowmobiles. And it works. But it all goes
back to maintenance. Again, the biggest key there
was that they had an on -site garage, on -site
mechanics that honestly kept an eye on the vehicles
on a daily basis, but really did maintenance
on a very regular basis, so. You know what I
hate? I hate those fucking people that drive
those cars that are the size of this table. They
look like they're driving a little roller skate.
Yeah. And they're just like a grown man with
a beard who's like, what are those? Do you work
on those cars? Have you worked on those? The
smart cars? I don't even, are they smart cars?
Yeah, that's what they're called. They don't
look smart. I mean, it looks very uncomfortable.
Yeah. It looks uncomfortable, and I would never
would, but it makes me want to ram them. The
Steve Urkels car, remember? Yeah. Ion made one
at 1 .2. It just blows my mind that you would
drive that around in upstate New York in the
winter. I couldn't think of a more, like imagine
driving in a roller ski on a 1. Dan, correct
me if I'm wrong, but that's the type of thing
that is very popular in other parts of the world,
right? Absolutely. Like these Ford and Chevy
make tiny things. Like a lot of the European
countries, small. Like the Chevy Spark is huge
in Europe. Nobody wants the Spark here. My son
was watching a YouTube video the other week where
this guy takes... I want to say the country is
India. You know those very small trucks? The
very small, like flatbed trucks. Yeah. I have
one. You do. And they get them so cheap, and
they have them shipped over to the US, and they
run like tops. And he gets it for like $2 ,000.
Dude. It's wild. I'm telling you, Dan, I think
there's a whole business in those. I have one.
The coolest. I love it. It gets attention. I
pull up to a car meet, and people are like, Love
this thing. I mean, mine's already done. I have
way too much money into it. I'll never get my
money back out of it. Typical car guy thing,
but don't ask my girl how much I have into it.
There's one on the internet that a guy turned
into a, yeah. Exactly. It's just the cheapest
car we got, honey. Cheapest thing. There's a
guy on the internet that has it all decked out
as a Milwaukee tool truck, one of those little
things. And it just is the coolest looking thing
ever. It's awesome. I don't know. I want them.
Somebody put a jet engine in the back of the
bed of one. Oh, shoot. That was pretty interesting.
So I saw, and one day we'll need to genuinely
do this. I really would love to get our hands
on one of those. So there's one guy that I discovered,
a YouTuber who found one of these. It was like
$2 ,500 in change, shipped, gets it, pops it
open. You got a bolt on the mirror. You know,
it's completely, right? But the dude did a follow
-up video a year later and he goes, let's see
how it is. Still running, driving, handy as hell.
You know, it's as basic as you could possibly
get. But he's like, man, I... Pretty impressed,
honestly. Yeah. I would love to do that. Dude,
if I could get one of those. If I could get a
stock of those, I'd buy them for everybody. We'd
all have just a company fleet of $2 ,500 cars.
I don't know if he's making it in the winter
in one. No. There. I ain't driving here in that
fucking thing. If you could pick one, like money's
no option. Put skis on it. Money is no option.
What is the most superior car as far as like...
Great question. Forget money because that's that
that's always the driving force. I'm just saying
money's not an option It's safety will last forever.
You know a parts are for what it what is so not
necessarily a show car But your best just daily
driver It's gonna give you the best bang like
something if you had just the best made or 30
years there you go. Yeah Toyota Santa minivan
Really what he busted out mini what because?
I love it. Versatile, right? If you're telling
me I can only have one vehicle for 30 years,
right? Yes. And I need it for everything. I don't
know if I'm going to have kids in 30 years. This
is brilliant. So it's like the most perfect vehicle.
If you were starting a life right now at whatever,
and you wanted to keep something for 30 years,
you're going to pay it off in six, and then you
own it outright for the next 30 years, it can
be a cargo van. It can be a friend hauler. It
can be a family hauler. It can be a kid hauler.
It can be. A Home Depot runner. He's so right.
My wife made us get a mini - Go ahead. It'll
run forever. It'll run forever? My wife made
us get a minivan and I was mortified when we
first had our first kid. And then I realized
at the time I had a band. And it doubled as our
family car and then our band van. And we traveled
the country in this little minivan. And at that
point I said I'm done making fun of minivans
and now you've just solidified it. It's not sexy,
it's not fun. I can't argue with it. You know
what I mean? Some of the newer minivans, I mean,
the newer minivans are not like when we were
teenagers. I mean, Toyota Sienna, that's probably
going to run you like 70 grand because it's decked
out. Yeah. It's your one car for 30 years. Yeah,
you're keeping it forever. You might as well
get the most loaded package. Yep. Self -driving,
you know. If you gave me 30 options on what you
were going to say, the Toyota Sienna minivan.
You would have never gotten there. Never. But
that's awesome. And you and you're saying that
I'm not practical personally so This is this
is for opinion. Yeah, I'm not practical. I'm
still buying $100 ,000 escalate be none of us
are gonna buy it, but Wow That's great. It's
awesome. That's why we love you. I think we should
have make him make him officially our our GNY
Automobile like I think we've already specialist
think we've sort of already done that well But
like he could come on more through we'll bring
people on they can argue and we'll just sit here
and watch With like an electric car person. Yeah,
there you go or a Chevy verse Ford, you know
Well, actually we get 48 ,000 pounds of torque
the only thing that bothers me about people that
People that know cars not you but they're so
caught they expect that you're supposed to know
like they they're condescending where I'm like
Hey, how often should I get my all changed? I
do it every three thousand like three thousand
Sorry, that's why I'm asking you. I'm sorry.
I don't know all these things like they act like
we're all you know You're born with a penis.
You're supposed to know everything about cars
Or trucks or you don't know how to do a brake
job. I actually You can try it when you mess
it up I had a buddy teach me the Ford tow truck
and then we'll fix it for you will always be
on speed down I I did learn I had a friend that
taught me how to do an oil change and a brake
I can change a tire He taught me how to change
brakes. I will admit, it is a lot simpler than
I thought when you watch. Yeah. But then to actually
do it. Oh, 100%. I don't know if I trust this.
Yeah, they always make it look so easy. All the
videos are always of a rust -free car, though.
Yeah, oh, it's... Exactly, when the calipers
and everything's rusted out. Like it was just
built yesterday. That's the other thing. I used
to hear back in the day that when you would get
your brakes changed, sometimes you would just
change the pads or the shoes, whatever. And now
I'm noticing, is it true that... Pretty much
when you're going to do brakes now, you're going
to change the rotors and everything now. Unless
you have a high -performance brake system, usually
at this point. You used to get the rotors resurfaced.
Right. It's not cost -effective time -wise. It's
going to cost the same to just replace the rotors
now. That's why it's changed? Yeah. That's a
mix and we're in the Northeast so your breaks
in you know two years from the rust and this
you know They're already pitted so you can't
grind it out That's the other thing you want
me to change the most important feature in a
fucking car like cuz if that goes wrong guess
what that means It's fair all of us are getting
hurt fair or killed so I yeah No, I don't want
that responsibility, so I had a wheel fly off
while driving after doing a brake job one Are
you serious? Yeah, I didn't didn't torque them
enough When you're driving down the road and
your back tire passes you, you know there's a
problem. Listen, many years ago, a friend of
mine did brakes on my car before I learned any
of this stuff. And I remember we got like two
miles down the road. I pulled over. I go, my
front end's shaking real bad. He goes, oh. Stay
right here. I'll be back. He didn't tighten the
lug nuts all the way. Oh, man. He's trying to
kill me. That's wild. Could have been rich. Could
have been very rich. Anyway, we could do this
all day, which is why we will have Dan back many
times. Dan, you are our resident automobile specialist.

week. GNY Sports, my first episode's coming out
today. I'm very excited. I was very not excited.
I didn't think I could do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, we already shot it. We already shot it. But
it's coming out today, and it's something Matt
wanted me to do. I wasn't sure if I could do
it. He's been working on it. Let's just say when
we started this project, Joe Namath was still
throwing balls. Yeah, I dragged my feet a little
bit. That was the oldest sports name I could
think of off the top of my head. That was perfect.
No, that was a great reference. I'm assuming
that person is still old. Do you ever see the
video where he was hammered and hit on the reporter
on the sideline? I don't even know who he is.
I genuinely couldn't pick him out of a lineup.
I just grabbed the name. It's incredible. It's
absolutely incredible. Oh, dude, you're the guy.
Regular sports don't... Dan Garcia, I'm a NASCAR
fan go fast turn left and with that peace out
