WEBVTT

00:00:10.239 --> 00:00:12.179
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Good News York.

00:00:12.339 --> 00:00:14.539
My name is Noah Chrysler and I am here today

00:00:14.539 --> 00:00:17.339
with Badger from the Cavalcade of Cars. Badger,

00:00:17.339 --> 00:00:19.399
welcome. Thanks for having me. Why don't you

00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:21.640
introduce yourself? So my name is Brian Badger.

00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:24.000
Everyone knows me as Badger. Obviously, that's

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.960
my last name. I am the operations manager for

00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:30.559
Syracuse Nationals, LLC, the Syracuse Nationals

00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.340
car show, the largest car show in the Northeast.

00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.359
I'm sure everybody in town has heard of it or

00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:41.119
been a part of it at some point. In 2025, we

00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:44.100
acquired the cavalcade of cars Syracuse edition.

00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:46.920
And we took that over and started getting our

00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:48.520
hands involved in that. And we're coming into

00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.340
our second year of cavalcade of cars. So we're

00:00:51.340 --> 00:00:53.439
excited. Tell us about cavalcade of cars and

00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.659
what can viewers expect? Okay, so the Jammers

00:00:56.659 --> 00:00:59.659
Sports Bar and Restaurant cavalcade of cars is

00:00:59.659 --> 00:01:02.500
a two door indoor car show, two day indoor car

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:05.000
show. Okay, at the New York State Fairgrounds

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.560
in the Expo Building. All right, it's next weekend,

00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:13.310
April 18th and 19th we have over 200 displays

00:01:13.310 --> 00:01:17.200
of cars, jeeps, trucks, bikes, customs, classics,

00:01:17.620 --> 00:01:20.459
motorcycles. We have vendors. We have a pinup

00:01:20.459 --> 00:01:22.599
contest. We have a charity pinstriping event.

00:01:22.780 --> 00:01:26.959
We have stuff for kids. We have live music. Just

00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.159
a whole bunch of good stuff going on, man. Awesome.

00:01:29.420 --> 00:01:32.319
Oh, very cool. Cool. So it moves to the Expo

00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.599
Center. Can you tell us about that? What you

00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:36.560
guys expanded significantly? Right. So so, yeah,

00:01:36.579 --> 00:01:40.319
so we first we first started working on the cavalcade

00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.260
of cars last year in 2025. It was our first time.

00:01:43.450 --> 00:01:46.409
uh, as, as owners of the event. Um, when I say

00:01:46.409 --> 00:01:48.829
we, it's, uh, I mean the Syracuse nationals,

00:01:48.950 --> 00:01:51.489
right? So it was the first time we started working

00:01:51.489 --> 00:01:54.799
on this, on the cavalcade of cars and. We knew

00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:56.579
it had a lot of potential. The only thing is

00:01:56.579 --> 00:01:59.260
we're a little bit limited on two things, right?

00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:01.500
So like the building in the center of progress

00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:05.120
building where it's been held for the last bunch

00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.919
of years, it's only so big, right? The other

00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.240
thing was traditionally the dates have always

00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.120
been towards the end of March, which anybody

00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.919
in CNY knows, Syracuse knows that March means

00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:23.599
snow. So we were heavily reliant on car owners

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:28.159
who could trailer their vehicle in or dig a pathway

00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.159
out of whatever garage it's in and be willing

00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:33.699
to drive it in in whatever weather we have that

00:02:33.699 --> 00:02:36.139
weekend to come bring it to the show. So last

00:02:36.139 --> 00:02:39.719
year we had a little over 100 vehicles and we

00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.439
knew that if we kick the dates back a little

00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:45.659
bit into like the second or third week of April

00:02:45.659 --> 00:02:47.960
and we could move to the Expo building in the

00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.139
fairgrounds. Brand new building, excellent lighting,

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.479
huge floor space. We knew that, you know, that

00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.319
the potential was was was great. So that's what

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:01.780
we did. And we you know, we had to. we had to

00:03:01.780 --> 00:03:04.879
cut off our registration sold out on April 1st.

00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.560
We ran out of room. That building's 110 ,000

00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.080
square feet. And I tell you what, as soon as

00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.840
you start putting 10 by 10 vendor spaces and

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.699
10 by 20 car spaces and sponsor areas, the walls

00:03:16.699 --> 00:03:19.939
shrink really quick. So we're pretty much maxed

00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:22.360
out with space in there. We got a great show

00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.360
about 200, like I said, 200 exhibits, including

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.580
vendors and sponsors and stuff like that. Very

00:03:27.580 --> 00:03:29.680
cool. I love that story too, because it's like

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.560
you learned from the, you know, the year prior

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.139
to, you know, you learn you, you made some mistakes,

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:36.900
right? All the weather, you know, knocked us

00:03:36.900 --> 00:03:38.719
all out. And so this year, you're doing it different,

00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:40.400
right? You're moving it back. Exactly. It's one

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.280
of the things I tell people too, is especially

00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.500
like with with a show like the Syracuse Nationals

00:03:44.500 --> 00:03:46.460
that happened yearly in the cavalcade of cars,

00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.419
which is going to happen again in 2027, right?

00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.080
So if we come across a situation this year, where

00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:54.699
we were, you know, at the end, we're like, damn,

00:03:54.699 --> 00:03:58.020
you know, we if we tweak that by an hour, or

00:03:58.020 --> 00:04:00.000
if we started moving people in it, you know,

00:04:00.549 --> 00:04:02.870
everything is fixable for next year. So I tell

00:04:02.870 --> 00:04:06.129
people if something didn't go right, right, the

00:04:06.129 --> 00:04:08.849
the best thing we can do is the is we can fix

00:04:08.849 --> 00:04:10.430
it next year and it'll be better, you know, so

00:04:10.430 --> 00:04:12.849
we every year we learn, we're about getting bigger,

00:04:13.009 --> 00:04:15.169
we're about going better going going bigger,

00:04:15.370 --> 00:04:16.930
you know what I mean? And just taking things

00:04:16.930 --> 00:04:19.089
to the next level. So, you know, that's what

00:04:19.089 --> 00:04:21.350
we're gonna do. Very cool. So how long you've

00:04:21.350 --> 00:04:23.199
been involved with this for a while? Yeah. Yeah,

00:04:23.339 --> 00:04:27.560
how many years? So 2023 was when the company

00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:32.060
that I work for started having the ownership

00:04:32.060 --> 00:04:33.660
of the Syracuse nationals. They bought it from

00:04:33.660 --> 00:04:35.560
the previous owners, the O 'Connor family who

00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.060
have owned it since the you know, the day it

00:04:38.060 --> 00:04:42.519
started in I think 1999 2000. Yeah, cool. Since

00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:44.399
then, how much? What other things have you learned

00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.480
that have kind of transformed the event? Oh,

00:04:46.740 --> 00:04:51.519
um, you know, a lot of things, right? So we've

00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:56.379
learned how to navigate through the attendees,

00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:02.060
the participants themselves. It is a... very

00:05:02.060 --> 00:05:06.759
demanding industry, right? The people who join

00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:10.500
us for our show are our content, right? So they,

00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:12.920
they technically make our show happen for us,

00:05:13.019 --> 00:05:16.180
right? So I've learned, you know, just a lot

00:05:16.180 --> 00:05:18.240
about relationships, a lot about friendships.

00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.759
I've learned a lot of operational things, things

00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:23.959
that I did year one things that we all did, you

00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.360
know, the whole team. that we did year one that

00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.240
we're doing differently now, you know, as far

00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.579
as parking and entry and where we should have

00:05:32.579 --> 00:05:35.399
people come pick up their credentials and, you

00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:37.889
know, just things. Processes and systems that

00:05:37.889 --> 00:05:39.629
make more sense. You know what I mean? So for

00:05:39.629 --> 00:05:41.930
sure. Yeah, very cool. Very cool. Well, wonderful

00:05:41.930 --> 00:05:43.970
Can you talk about some of these things that

00:05:43.970 --> 00:05:45.709
are there people are going to see at the event,

00:05:45.790 --> 00:05:47.449
right? So you've talked about live music You've

00:05:47.449 --> 00:05:49.550
talked about the pinup contents, right? You talked

00:05:49.550 --> 00:05:50.970
about the vendors, right? Can you tell me more

00:05:50.970 --> 00:05:54.910
about that? Absolutely. So We have a stacked

00:05:54.910 --> 00:05:58.149
weekend really at the cavalcade of cars starting

00:05:58.149 --> 00:06:00.930
out on our upstate imports Saturday, right? We

00:06:00.930 --> 00:06:05.610
have you know, a good buddy of mine, local talented

00:06:05.610 --> 00:06:08.370
musician, Jimmy Falco, he's going to start the

00:06:08.370 --> 00:06:12.009
day off on Saturday with the with a live performance

00:06:12.009 --> 00:06:14.149
of the national anthem on guitar, right, Jimi

00:06:14.149 --> 00:06:17.550
Hendrix style. So we start every morning of of

00:06:17.550 --> 00:06:20.990
our car shows with the with the Canadian national

00:06:20.990 --> 00:06:22.990
anthem, Oh Canada, and then we go right into

00:06:22.990 --> 00:06:25.410
the Star Spangled Banner, right? We have a lot

00:06:25.410 --> 00:06:28.089
of Canadian friends that join us participants,

00:06:28.290 --> 00:06:30.009
attendees, you know, because we're so close.

00:06:30.550 --> 00:06:34.860
So we We like to make sure we honor them and

00:06:34.860 --> 00:06:37.720
then we go into the Star Spangled Banner. So,

00:06:37.779 --> 00:06:39.579
Jimmy's going to kick off the day on Saturday

00:06:39.579 --> 00:06:43.600
with the Star Spangled Banner live. We have our

00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.120
friend Lori Ann. She's a Syracuse Nationals alum

00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.319
over in the Spark East Rockabilly area. She does

00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.000
a really good tribute to the oldies. She'll be

00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:56.079
in her old school area doing that. We have...

00:06:56.250 --> 00:06:59.509
Let's see, our buddies Hot Rod Ford and $2 bill.

00:06:59.730 --> 00:07:01.089
They're going to be they're going to be jamming

00:07:01.089 --> 00:07:03.069
some tunes on the stage throughout the day. Then

00:07:03.069 --> 00:07:05.430
we go into our pinup contest. We have our charity

00:07:05.430 --> 00:07:07.910
pinstriping auction, which happens all weekend.

00:07:08.290 --> 00:07:09.990
The charity pinstriping happens all weekend,

00:07:10.110 --> 00:07:12.269
right? People will be able to do that all weekend.

00:07:12.649 --> 00:07:14.930
And, you know, one of the things that's cool

00:07:14.930 --> 00:07:17.970
about that is is you can we encourage people

00:07:17.970 --> 00:07:20.589
to bring something of their own to get pinstriped

00:07:20.589 --> 00:07:23.250
or lettered, any type of artwork done, right?

00:07:23.310 --> 00:07:26.410
Motorcycle helmets, laptops, mailboxes. Toolboxes

00:07:26.410 --> 00:07:28.949
anything you know don't don't bring in you know

00:07:28.949 --> 00:07:31.970
your refrigerator from the garage, but you know

00:07:31.970 --> 00:07:35.589
bring stuff in everything goes to Ronald McDonald

00:07:35.589 --> 00:07:38.769
house of CNY all all the proceeds right so if

00:07:38.769 --> 00:07:41.089
you're looking to have something done for yourself

00:07:41.089 --> 00:07:44.350
or for a friend or something if you're gonna

00:07:44.350 --> 00:07:46.410
pay money for it it might as well go to charity

00:07:46.410 --> 00:07:49.300
bring it to the show and have it done so So can

00:07:49.300 --> 00:07:52.120
you explain to me more what that is? So so pinup

00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:53.959
contest, I don't think I understood exactly what

00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.300
that was. So the pinup contest, we have our good

00:07:57.300 --> 00:08:00.000
friend Rosie Rockabilly. She is the facilitator

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.199
of our pinup contest. She hosts this at the Syracuse

00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:04.420
Nationals as well. Right. So it only made sense

00:08:04.420 --> 00:08:07.680
to bring her in for this for this show. She has

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.759
about 20 ladies that she that she you know that

00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.720
she works with. They get dressed up pinup style.

00:08:14.779 --> 00:08:17.379
They come in. It's I don't want to she'll probably

00:08:17.379 --> 00:08:19.439
kill me if I say the words beauty pageant. But

00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:22.339
that's the best way for me to kind of describe

00:08:22.339 --> 00:08:25.420
it to somebody who doesn't know. You know, so

00:08:25.420 --> 00:08:28.699
it's, it's very oldie style pinup style, they,

00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:30.959
they ask questions, they have talents, they,

00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.120
you know, and they get judged and, and they crown

00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.940
a winner. So it's, it's fun. It's classy. It's

00:08:35.940 --> 00:08:40.070
clean. It's not. you know risque sure it's it's

00:08:40.070 --> 00:08:43.269
it's not a burlesque show right so um it's really

00:08:43.269 --> 00:08:45.230
cool and it's something that fits the car show

00:08:45.230 --> 00:08:47.509
vibe it's been a part of the car show theme and

00:08:47.509 --> 00:08:50.210
the rockabilly theme for years so um it only

00:08:50.210 --> 00:08:52.950
makes sense to have it no very cool i so that

00:08:52.950 --> 00:08:55.649
actually does that i do actually understand what

00:08:55.649 --> 00:08:57.350
that is i think the thing that you mentioned

00:08:57.350 --> 00:08:59.549
is the pinstripes uh can you tell me more about

00:08:59.549 --> 00:09:02.230
that right i didn't understand that okay so uh

00:09:02.230 --> 00:09:04.610
we have a lot of local artists coming in yeah

00:09:04.610 --> 00:09:08.039
um who specialize in all kinds of art, but especially

00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.320
like painting, lettering, pinstriping, you know,

00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.279
you see a lot of vehicles that have a pinstripe

00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.179
design designed on the side or on the hood or

00:09:15.179 --> 00:09:18.259
on the trunk. So all these artists donate their

00:09:18.259 --> 00:09:20.480
time and their supplies to come to the show.

00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:25.289
And we spend two days giving them space to to

00:09:25.289 --> 00:09:28.850
create their art, sell their art, and all the

00:09:28.850 --> 00:09:31.169
money goes to charity to local Ronald McDonald

00:09:31.169 --> 00:09:32.970
House. Oh, very cool. Yeah, very cool. And so

00:09:32.970 --> 00:09:35.429
you're saying I could bring an object. Absolutely.

00:09:36.230 --> 00:09:37.950
That's what we encourage, you know, bring something

00:09:37.950 --> 00:09:40.529
from home, tell them what you're looking for.

00:09:41.769 --> 00:09:45.509
Excuse me, they will, you know, they'll they'll

00:09:45.509 --> 00:09:48.279
decide. what type of cost and what type of labor

00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.279
is involved in getting it done for you. And they'll

00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:51.639
give you a price. And if it's something that

00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.820
works for you, you can make it happen. There's

00:09:53.820 --> 00:09:56.740
also going to be already pre done artwork there

00:09:56.740 --> 00:09:59.139
on the table to look at some really nice stuff.

00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:01.620
And it will all be priced, you know, accordingly.

00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:03.679
And if if people see something they like, and

00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.240
they want to, they want to spend some money for

00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.120
charity, they can take that stuff home. Very,

00:10:07.220 --> 00:10:09.820
very cool. Why do you think car culture is so

00:10:09.820 --> 00:10:12.500
important to the Syracuse area here? Oh, man.

00:10:14.430 --> 00:10:18.070
For me personally it sounds counterintuitive,

00:10:18.149 --> 00:10:20.190
but I think it's because of the winter right

00:10:20.190 --> 00:10:23.850
so when you think of winter you don't think of

00:10:23.850 --> 00:10:28.230
You know the the car culture But I think it's

00:10:28.230 --> 00:10:32.110
because we in upstate New York Spent so much

00:10:32.110 --> 00:10:34.549
time cooped up in the house that it means so

00:10:34.549 --> 00:10:37.639
much more to us right so As soon as April hits,

00:10:37.820 --> 00:10:39.879
that nice weather starts coming. We're ready.

00:10:40.100 --> 00:10:42.960
I have a custom vehicle myself that, you know,

00:10:43.059 --> 00:10:45.059
we're all chomping at the bit to get these things

00:10:45.059 --> 00:10:47.500
out of storage. And we also know that we have

00:10:47.500 --> 00:10:49.700
a very limited time to enjoy them. Right. So

00:10:49.700 --> 00:10:52.159
when it happens, it happens and we're all in,

00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.860
you know, I can't I can't speak for people on

00:10:54.860 --> 00:10:57.940
the West Coast or in down south in warm, warmer

00:10:57.940 --> 00:11:02.090
weather states. But I feel like, you know, Cruising

00:11:02.090 --> 00:11:05.409
around in in January in Miami in your in your

00:11:05.409 --> 00:11:08.250
car is just regular everyday life, right? That

00:11:08.250 --> 00:11:11.279
doesn't happen for us, right? So we I think I

00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:12.980
think we appreciate a little bit more because

00:11:12.980 --> 00:11:14.980
we know how valuable it is because we only get

00:11:14.980 --> 00:11:17.580
a small dose of it. So that that's that's my

00:11:17.580 --> 00:11:19.480
take on that. What a great observation. I mean,

00:11:19.659 --> 00:11:21.740
that I totally agree with that. Right. You know,

00:11:21.779 --> 00:11:24.480
I mean, most my dad is a mechanic. He runs Chrysler

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:26.519
Treasure Automotive over on Factory Avenue, and

00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.120
he's a big car guy. Right. My last name is Chrysler.

00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:32.240
You know, so cars are a big part of my my family's

00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:33.539
culture. I don't know anything about cars. I

00:11:33.539 --> 00:11:37.039
probably should. But yeah, no. You know, I mean.

00:11:37.490 --> 00:11:39.549
Throughout the winter you store your car and

00:11:39.549 --> 00:11:41.610
you know in a garage and then when you take it

00:11:41.610 --> 00:11:43.350
out at the beginning Of the summer or the beginning

00:11:43.350 --> 00:11:45.509
of the spring, right? That's a big momentous

00:11:45.509 --> 00:11:47.610
occasion for him. It's always like a big momentous

00:11:47.610 --> 00:11:49.049
occasion Yeah, for sure. And I think that's what

00:11:49.049 --> 00:11:51.210
we're trying to capture too with the cavalcade

00:11:51.210 --> 00:11:53.889
of cars being in April Yeah, everybody's ready.

00:11:54.289 --> 00:11:56.549
So March everyone's still kind of down in the

00:11:56.549 --> 00:11:58.070
dumps a little bit. There's still snow on the

00:11:58.070 --> 00:12:00.830
ground people aren't ready, but you know I'm

00:12:00.830 --> 00:12:03.690
looking forward to some nicer weather and the

00:12:03.690 --> 00:12:06.809
salt being washed off the roads and we're gonna

00:12:06.809 --> 00:12:09.970
set the standard for being really like the first

00:12:09.970 --> 00:12:12.850
car show of the year to get people out and kick

00:12:12.850 --> 00:12:16.070
this thing off. Fantastic, cool. When you're

00:12:16.070 --> 00:12:19.120
at the show... I'm assuming that families come

00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:20.720
to this and you probably have an opportunity

00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.820
to see kids, you know, interacting with car culture

00:12:22.820 --> 00:12:24.740
for the first time. Absolutely. Do you think

00:12:24.740 --> 00:12:26.220
that this is a good way to kind of get the younger

00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:27.899
generation involved in car culture and that sort

00:12:27.899 --> 00:12:30.220
of thing? Absolutely. One hundred percent. One

00:12:30.220 --> 00:12:32.759
of the things that we try to really focus on

00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:35.960
is the family aspect of it, especially Syracuse

00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:38.220
Nationals, first and foremost. And then we're

00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:41.080
carrying that over to the same model with cavalcade

00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:44.019
of cars. Right off the bat, kids 12 and under

00:12:44.019 --> 00:12:46.500
are free. They're always free. Kids riding in

00:12:46.500 --> 00:12:50.320
show cars. Up to 16 years old are free coming

00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.000
in the gates with it with their parents, right?

00:12:52.220 --> 00:12:57.820
So You know once kids are in inside or they're

00:12:57.820 --> 00:13:00.820
at the show There's probably a lot of kids who

00:13:00.820 --> 00:13:02.259
know what they're looking at, but there's probably

00:13:02.259 --> 00:13:05.159
also a lot of kids who don't right So you don't

00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:08.440
I don't think kids forget these types of experiences

00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:11.139
And it could be the catalyst that kicks off a

00:13:11.139 --> 00:13:13.340
whole different lifestyle for them, right? I

00:13:13.340 --> 00:13:15.299
you know, they don't forget, you know I remember

00:13:15.299 --> 00:13:17.600
the time mom and dad took me to the car show

00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:20.519
and I saw a Mustang for the very first time and

00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.600
I've been a fan of Mustangs ever since I remember

00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:24.919
the time I first saw a big lifted truck with

00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:27.080
huge tires on it, you know And I talked to the

00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:30.100
guy and he let me sit in it You know, so like

00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:32.980
things like that, they go a long way and I think

00:13:32.980 --> 00:13:37.360
it creates a vision for kids for the future,

00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.179
right? So they see what's possible. If A, they

00:13:40.179 --> 00:13:43.240
have patience and B, they, you know, they, they

00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.179
keep their head down and focused. They can, they

00:13:45.179 --> 00:13:47.580
can have something of their own. That's, you

00:13:47.580 --> 00:13:49.659
know, that's special. Yeah. Something to work

00:13:49.659 --> 00:13:52.269
towards. I love that. I love that idea. Um, fantastic.

00:13:52.389 --> 00:13:54.450
Okay, cool. We got some hot takes potential hot

00:13:54.450 --> 00:13:57.169
takes for you. Okay, here we go. Cool. All right.

00:13:57.169 --> 00:14:01.710
Are you a Ford guy or Chevy guy? Uh, I, I, I'm

00:14:01.710 --> 00:14:04.090
a Chevy guy. You're Chevy guy. I'm a Chevy guy.

00:14:04.389 --> 00:14:07.830
Grown up Chevy guy. But I, it's funny. I drive

00:14:07.830 --> 00:14:10.490
a Dodge. My, my custody vehicle is a Dodge. But,

00:14:11.009 --> 00:14:14.230
but yeah, I'm a Chevy guy. Gotcha. Cool. What's

00:14:14.230 --> 00:14:17.809
the most? What is the most overrated car at a

00:14:17.809 --> 00:14:25.320
show like this? You're gonna get me in trouble.

00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:29.679
If you don't want to answer this, be honest with

00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:33.960
you. Yeah, personal opinion. Most overrated car

00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:38.840
at any car show is something that somebody buys

00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:41.539
at the dealership a week before the show and

00:14:41.539 --> 00:14:43.759
drives it in completely bone stock right off

00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:47.360
the showroom floor. You know what I mean? Not

00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.159
to say that it isn't special and I'm sure they

00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:53.080
feel really good about it, but Just seeing a

00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.399
bunch of cars that you can drive down, you know

00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:58.299
what I mean? What? Genesee Street and see it

00:14:58.299 --> 00:15:01.139
all the dealerships is yeah, you know, that's

00:15:01.139 --> 00:15:05.539
just personal we you know, we do have lots of

00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.460
of nice new cars that are that come from the

00:15:09.460 --> 00:15:11.940
dealerships that are at our show. You know what

00:15:11.940 --> 00:15:14.759
I mean? sponsors, things like that. They're showcasing

00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:18.679
things that you know, for sale. The difference

00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:23.320
to me is, is like, that's the business end of

00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:26.019
things, right? Yeah, these people are car dealers

00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:29.840
in their car sellers. Buying a brand new car.

00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.860
With nothing done to it and registering it and

00:15:33.860 --> 00:15:35.740
bringing it to the show and putting it there

00:15:35.740 --> 00:15:38.379
It just died the pizzazz isn't there for me.

00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:41.519
No for some people enjoy it for me I like you

00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.419
know, I like things that are a little done up

00:15:43.419 --> 00:15:45.779
or modified, you know, yeah, no I can imagine

00:15:45.779 --> 00:15:47.620
I mean, you know, it's like it's something that

00:15:47.620 --> 00:15:49.710
I think I've been to a handful of these car shows,

00:15:49.710 --> 00:15:51.570
right? And you can tell, you can tell the person

00:15:51.570 --> 00:15:53.309
that's been doing this for 30 years, right? This

00:15:53.309 --> 00:15:55.029
is their favorite car, this is their favorite

00:15:55.029 --> 00:15:57.190
thing, right? They've painted it a custom color

00:15:57.190 --> 00:15:59.070
based on something from their life that they

00:15:59.070 --> 00:16:01.210
love, you know? And they've got all the little

00:16:01.210 --> 00:16:03.169
like, you know, little accoutrements in the car,

00:16:03.269 --> 00:16:04.830
right? They've got the little locks with the

00:16:04.830 --> 00:16:07.889
dice on it or, you know? And so I can totally

00:16:07.889 --> 00:16:09.529
see what you're saying, right? With the brand

00:16:09.529 --> 00:16:11.490
new cars off the lot, you know? It's like, yeah,

00:16:11.490 --> 00:16:13.090
cool, you've got a lot of money, but like, do

00:16:13.090 --> 00:16:16.690
you love this? The only exception, something

00:16:16.690 --> 00:16:22.649
to consider is like, um young man who had a 69

00:16:22.649 --> 00:16:26.870
Camaro uh in 1969 bought it new had it kept it

00:16:26.870 --> 00:16:30.250
forever has grown old he can't sit in those seats

00:16:30.250 --> 00:16:32.750
anymore his knees don't work he might not be

00:16:32.750 --> 00:16:34.950
as mobile as possible but he still loves that

00:16:34.950 --> 00:16:38.029
69 Camaro but he needs something with a little

00:16:38.029 --> 00:16:41.610
more comfort so he buys a 2024 Camaro with air

00:16:41.610 --> 00:16:44.350
conditioning and more comfy seats and you know

00:16:44.350 --> 00:16:47.129
what i mean better steering and stuff like that

00:16:47.309 --> 00:16:50.049
That you know, I think you know, there's some

00:16:50.049 --> 00:16:52.370
relevance there absolutely. I'm still in this

00:16:52.370 --> 00:16:54.809
I just can't do what I used to do anymore but

00:16:54.809 --> 00:16:58.450
But yeah, what is one car opinion that you have

00:16:58.450 --> 00:17:00.730
that might start a fight at the Nationals or

00:17:00.730 --> 00:17:04.890
at the cavalcade of cars Any hot hot takes that

00:17:04.890 --> 00:17:09.029
you've got hottest car take hottest car take

00:17:14.940 --> 00:17:18.579
Don't know. I like I like the I'm not an old

00:17:18.579 --> 00:17:21.440
muscle car guy. I'm not an old classic car I

00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:23.480
mean, I guess they're classics, but I like gangster

00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:25.559
stuff, right? Like I'd like I like the stuff

00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:28.160
that I grew up watching on MTV You know, I'm

00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:30.819
a lowrider guy. I'm a bouncing guy. I'm a loud

00:17:30.819 --> 00:17:34.339
stereo guy tinted windows guy You know, um, you

00:17:34.339 --> 00:17:35.980
know, I didn't grow up riding in the back of

00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:38.299
a 32 Ford with my parents I grew up watching

00:17:38.299 --> 00:17:41.960
dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg on MTV. So, uh, you know,

00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:45.690
that's that's my I'll take something like that

00:17:45.690 --> 00:17:48.289
over any of these other cars any day. A lot of

00:17:48.289 --> 00:17:51.190
people. I get into it a little bit with people.

00:17:51.990 --> 00:17:56.250
I have friends in the world that they have a

00:17:56.250 --> 00:17:58.869
really old Cadillac and it's all stock and it's

00:17:58.869 --> 00:18:00.589
all original. And I'm like, when are you going

00:18:00.589 --> 00:18:02.390
to slam that thing to the ground and put some

00:18:02.390 --> 00:18:05.269
wheels on it and tint the windows? No, hell no.
