And a fan text messages you can send those in 43733. That's a pretext. And also instant feedback 1053 the fan dot com we let it be from you today and lots of good stuff including one of the most important things. That we all go through one time. Time for new vehicle. And time you're ready to turn your old vehicle over exactly you know it. We've got a got a segment in fact on how do you get rid of an old car do you traded Indian -- in the paper do you run it on line. All in all of the things that are involved in eliminating that old car so you can get into your new -- so it's it's something everyone faces. And there's a lot of different ways to handle it won't talk about that videotape in overtook Europe for got something completely different but. The same. Everybody has their own priorities about what do they want -- the best bang for the buck the one of the easiest possible way. So there's a lot of the twister approached this and have the answers for you coming up on that when it's time to -- new vehicle. Also a review Tammy of Volkswagen today."

" Yes we drove the Volkswagen. Jetta TGI. We drove to sport wagon actually. Quite impressive in the main reason we won two review this vehicle is because of the fantastic. Fuel economy and you know they're talking about electric cars but they still don't know how much that electric car is going to cost. You know problem may be upwards of forty grand for -- tiny little should -- possibly you know he had left to spend more for your brand new technology you know the -- people that got the plasma. TV what do they have to pay for that's another lot cheaper I. I fans got cheaper to eat everything gets everything -- as as technology improves anyway diesel has been around for."

" Export way and can even do that. Yeah in at least one evidence of that sort of foot in the wagon is the new thing although there trying to disguise the fact it's still the old wagon. Well aren't you can get the car in -- non wagon you know you tend to think -- you aren't you can get a little OK so but -- tell -- you're in the car business you would -- this with -- so -- aren't today's suvs -- and evolution of the old wagon -- to ensure they aren't -- especially the crossovers because it crossovers have taken a minivan in sort of stretch them out like a station -- who sort of."

" Raised raised the vehicle up off the ground gonna -- a little more ground clearance and so. Instead of sitting down into the vehicle or climbing up into the issue be basically all man and a -- what I love about those crossovers. Summer."

" It's handy lunch today as -- trickster anymore you know -- I can remember great trips going cross country in the 58. Ford country squire wagon that we had with neat -- GAO obviate interstate police interceptor. PA police -- said so right on the air cleaner. The eight police interceptor engine it would test everything but gas station -- hot -- it probably it could ride in the very back. Oh yeah with no safety belts -- and and and there in front of sugar and there was there was tons of hard metal and open heading anywhere. Yeah exactly know lots of sharp things sticking out and it got to your daughter did and we all survived some now."

" I remember lane in the package stretch think and mention that there is often have said that if most of listed laid back there in the -- strain and -- have been graphical -- your folks didn't hit anything head on Monday at which point you would become a project dial clearly I'm still here -- thank you for being such a great driver dad. We we we made it somehow -- the other day on the way to work I saw someone in their little Ford dorsett and and their child who I'm going to guess was maybe five to six years old small enough that he was standing in the floor board of the front seat. In front of his mother sitting in the passenger seat. And they were driving the car. I don't know IA was -- to. I rolled them well this was not recently it was an accident and was warm weather nearly -- mean -- them a window -- my arm I was wagon my finger at them like. You know. Something happened. And now -- regardless of how great -- driver you might be. You gotta watch out for everybody else we'll talk about that -- not even safe to park on the street anymore."

" rates anyway. All right I don't watch box poster yes well there may be another when you're near future because Jamie there's there's an app for that's -- we talking about you talk about. I texting in the cars -- we're talking about."

" Napping in the -- at in the car well they're trying to make this more safety friendly bet there are apps for cars coming out in real time with fort lower snake. Oh cool stuff where you can actually -- in the navigation turn by turn directions to. The -- takes cars let's say you're all at a -- that party yeah. And the the driver and front -- the way. But the driver in the bag doesn't you know the -- why it happens that he can't run the Red Line you get stuck in that car keeps going so there are going to be ways that you can all get to the party."

" Pitchers Tilton today at one year current well should they are not allowed."

" New ramps I think it's a page worth mentioning a lot of these natural voice controlled. I'm so. You'll -- need to talk to your dashboard when you want it to him. Place that's special song -- a lot of other stuff to talk about in this segment well right now you have always control navigation. And Bluetooth though which is going to get more and more. I diversity more cars are going to have these. So so we pretty -- we talk to our car which we'll talk to our friends car right and so we don't have been our preference or you know we can talk to a lot of other cars. That's a very social you seal -- he'd hand gestures and what they're going to be demand and -- thought about that yes. -- ideally FINGER thank you do. And it til later what that means you're. One the cool things about that the school -- of the information Adrian that David is you don't have to wonder what people -- interest today and you just go find what they're being with the researching on the where yeah you know and it's sort of I I don't like these stories sometimes because sometimes different manufacturers will use wherever -- To. Insinuate or to try to save that their car is doing really really well. On so you have to be careful who use. Information you're reading who wrote it why they wrote it but. Kelley blue book is a pretty good indicator of people shopping for cars because a lot of people go okay be be remembered when they get ready to look for car. In KBB has got their top rated harsh for -- nine the death of the statistics out now. Released on January the seventh. On the top rated cars for people looking online for new cars in its you know after reading historian looking at their results. I have to say it's probably pretty accurate term now if you go to. Other sources. In fact I love the one auto trader last year had a big thing on the most searched car well it was only on a Porsche Turbo four Carreira. I guess many of those but I don't think a lot of them got bought and everybody once they really 550 horsepower while all you know -- to see the picture yeah -- and so you can't always believe this but DK BB report we're talking about today I think it's pretty solid and talks about. What people -- rolling out their buying right now. Good manicurist is here with this has always good information there we have news at noon of course coming up and only write about -- noon. And including auto delinquencies could always good when delinquents are getting now the way it is it is gather some good news for the automotive business along with -- all of the the other news it's out there. We're we're getting better paying our bills evidently. -- let's hits that's it it's a good thing. You know it's been lawsuits have been leaders here in the show but Chrysler and bankruptcy those two ordered the steel together what's. What you are Chrysler had a bit of a problem because there are some states now that have passed laws. That would allow their dealers to have the first choice of Chrysler decided to open up -- dealership. Down the street where they closed. So you're you're an ownership exactly -- closures down and in four months later they build another one on the corner from yeah. And you go why did -- doesn't sound right so there are some states that have passed laws that say that these dealers that were. Disenfranchised. Good word you're very good rejected dealers would have a right. She buys that dealership before anyone else could Chrysler decided to open it down the street. Interesting and you've well there was that I ask you know how you feel about that arguably well we'll talk about it in the show but the -- doing is they're asking the bankruptcy court which paved and everything if you that the franchise edit the the -- wanted to. They're asking the bankruptcy court to overrule. The state laws. That are being enacted in different states so now you're into a whole different situation does Washington have the right to coming and and control what you doing your state in business. Well even more so in the car business because exactly huge the government is huge in the car business now that they are. Because what's happened in the past year our tax dollars at work and yes they have her. Obama later on that GM with a sell off of their steering business yeah that is steering thing to me that's a really really strange deal because they won't say they're selling it to -- we know and we'll tell idea. And you won't like it now it's frightening on many levels yes it is. Well that's good we'll try to blow in India I think you gotta figure is that the government is the majority owner and GM are government says we sell on this steering it to -- and who's selling it well GM is selling it. But it's controlled by the government. That he really -- of -- you go what I am nastier well and of course your opportunity to find out more about the auto flex pre owned fleets.

That's why it's sort of nice to be able to to look at ought to -- of look on our website and see some of the greatly returns that we have to offer."

" I don't fallen 26% for sure I don't think I would consider fragile because I mean. They didn't just assuming indeed ever in the curbs and you know who knows.
