Tough show today, Toyota is in the barrel with the recent recalls. Listen carefully to Clifton Horace and Glenn Gent’s take on the situation. Just remember, the brakes will always stop the car, it may feel like they are not working but they are. Just stand on them with both feet, shift the vehicle into neutral and turn the key off (not all the way). Check you floor mats too! If you want to see a preview to the Hyundai Super bowl Ad check this out. p://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/02/hyundai-super-bowl-commercials-focus-on-favre-and-paint/ Also listen to a couple of funny stories about cars Jon Phillip (from Car and Driver) has owned. Thanks for listening and check out our new Hyundai web sight at www.horacehyundai.com .
Clif and Glenn discussed Toyota’s recall on unintended acceleration. Bottom line is “CHECK YOUR FLOOR MAT INSTALATION” every car manufacturer out there has this problem. Glens take on the governments “Carfax” website was not kind; what good is it that four states and DC are not participating… Check it out at www.vehiclehistory.gov. and decide for yourself. The King Richard Petty weights in on Danica Patricks possible move to NASCAR (can’t wait till I get older, you can say anything). He was not kind. Either way thanks for listening we are www.horacenissan.com.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…. Let’s be careful out there, keep Glenn’s “safety pillow” around you when you are driving. All accidents are caused because people run out of space…. So pay attention. If you are going to school or going to jail call first, the courts or the school may be closed. Clif and Glenn discussed how you car knows more about the weather than you think and how the government is figuring out a way to link all that information together to make weather maps…. As always thanks for listening. www.horacehyundai.net
Texting while driving; if Glenn Gent is the norm he can’t even say his ABC’s correctly with or without texting at the same time. Imagine him doing it while driving (texting that is). Discussed the top ten selling cars of 2009. Guess what; the Ford f-150 is still #1… The Viper and the NSX are back, surprise surprise. The “we will cancel anything politically incorrect” speech given by the Dodge during their Senate testimony was completely forgotten and the Viper will live on (but only for a year; yeh right…). Kind of like Obama’s “transparent” speech on the Health Care debate. Get the money or get elected and everyones memory is gone…Check out www.pandora.com for the newest in radio. This website allows you to virtually make your own radio station format. Just start by putting in a song or two that you like and the service does it all. As usual thanks for listening. www.horacenissan.com.
Once in a Blue Moon, this the last day of the month, the last day of the year, the last day of the decade, a full moon and a blue moon. Better do something great today… New Years resolutions (Glen is not going to text) should be made and recorded for later nagging upon. Clif already claims he has made and kept his New Year resolution to “not make any new year resolution”. Check out http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/29/video-mythbusters-tests-skipping-lambo-from-i-speed-zone-i/ to see the skipping Fiero. Glenn also recommends www.distraction.gov to witness your tax dollars at work. Thanks for listening and see you next year. www.horacenissan.com.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Had some fun today talking about the stress of the holidays and all the bonehead things men buy because at the last minute as a gift for there wives. Little hint here do not buy boat props, guns or diesel pickups for your wife on Christmas. Listen up and enjoy the holiday. Got to go and cook Christmas dinner. Merry Christmas. Clif and Glenn
Don’t forget the Angel tree at Horace Nissan. Come in pick up a child and remember the reason for the season. As always, thanks for listening we are www.horacehyundai.com.
Great show today, Clifton Horace was flying solo for little while till Terry Burson showed up. Terry is owner and operator of Tread works Tire Center which is located right across the street from Horace Nissan. Learned a lot about tires and the business of tires. The numbers are actually easier to figure out than we thought. Get in early to get your tires cause the day its snowing is the worst time (in terms of waiting) to buy new tires. TPSM’s, Rosa Road. crescent wrenches in the tires, speed ratings, you can learn it all by giving a listen. As always, thanks for listening and you can always contact us via www.horacehyundai.com any time.
Had a little fun at Tiger Wood’s expense. Imagine what the conversation with Onstar was like… “Mr. Woods we show an airbag has been deployed and a crazy lady with a nine iron is trying to kill you, would you like us to notify police?” “No, no she is no lady that’s my wife” (quote form a Lyle Lovet song). GM has a new president, meet the new boss worse than the old boss. Maybe Fritz quit on account that no one left on the board is a car guy and he is tired of explaining what they need to do (after a 66% pay cut). Don’t forget the Maxima sale at Horace Nissan and thanks for listening. www.horacenissan.com
