We're going to the fabulous Yooties restaurant down on Governor Boulevard at his eight-year-old. Everybody is cordially invited. We want to fill up the restaurant with the car show fans. We want to fill it up. Everybody is cordially invited. Are we going to have dancing girls or what? That's after. Oh, that's after it. That's after all the parts. [LAUGHTER] There you go. [LAUGHTER] I wouldn't trust that one in the wheelchair. Don't trust her. [LAUGHTER] But they're all going to go by the nursing home and pick them up. There you go. There you go. I told her the 5th at Judy's. There you go. All right. Look forward to it. What you got to get stopped, Kevin, with the night. I got him. You got him? I got him. I got him. Here we go. What year did they stop putting cigarette lighters in a vehicle? What vehicle it was? What car company was it? When they stopped? When they stopped. Whoo! The lighters said, now we still got the thing we can charge the phone up. But what year did they stop putting cigarette lighters in the car and what car company was it? Well, that's more of my recent history that don't work real well. But I'm going to say, I'm going to say probably '99. 1994 Chrysler. Really? OK. That is unbelievable. I had a full Chrysler. I had a full Chrysler. Did everybody else fail right behind me when they started doing it? Yeah. Did it say where it was in Chrysler 300? Or is there any model of Chrysler? I can't remember what he told me. Oh, OK. Yeah. Hey, that's something. '99 and '04 Chrysler. And everybody followed suit right after that. Well, was that about the time they had all the big cigarette lawsuits and all? Yes, sir. Except about when it was. Yeah. There were several of the manufacturers. They were running in the back of a dump truck and then they stopped all that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Listen, gentlemen, I'm waiting to hit a good show. OK. Y'all get ready for the weather. The weather ain't going to be nice this week. Yep. Yeah. Well, it's going to be-- Don't plan to get extra glue for your head. [LAUGHTER] It's going to be rough through Wednesday night, I think. But by Thursday, it'll clear up. The wind will start blowing. It's going to drive all the grounds over at the fabulous battleship park so we could have our car show. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you know a guy that works over that named Bill? No. I hadn't run into him, but I know all. Yeah. OK. He works over there three days a week. OK. Not familiar with him. Yeah. All right, gentlemen. Let me get on for everybody else you call in. Thank you, sir. Have a blessed night. [INTERPOSING VOICES] All right. All right. October 4th. Yes. [INTERPOSING VOICES] [LAUGHTER] There you go. [INTERPOSING VOICES] Thank you, Marcus. Bye-bye, sir. We did have a good time, though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, cool. Wish I could have made it myself, but yeah. Well, we know we were sitting there, and we had Marcus, and then Philip came in, and my bride and myself, and that was the extent of it. So I rattled Jarhead's chain. He says, oh, I didn't get an invitation. I said, say what? Well, you know, I said, did I have to call you personally? Said you was an invitation. He was invited on there. I know. Oh, no. He denied that. He didn't know he denied that. And me, my problem was just my faulty memory. That was his. [LAUGHTER] I think he was trying to make an excuse because he forgot. But he and his bride, they jumped in the car, got a buzz on all that. We had a good time. Everybody, you know, sitting hook it out like who. Yeah. Who the biggest liar was? Philip won. Yeah, there you go. Philip won. He was building airplanes, and jets, and jet motors, and everything over there. He had Marcus went off in the deep end, and I was going, well, what the hell? I don't know nothing about all that. [LAUGHTER] Well, it looks like you've been in a cat fight or something. What the hell? Oh, you know, with all the blood thinner and stuff that I'm on these days. Oh, my goodness. Hey, you're just proud to be here, bro. Oh, yeah. I have two golden retrievers, and they love to play. Uh-oh. On your arms. Yeah. Well, they've been doing a good job of it, brother. They've been doing a good job. They have broke blood on both of them. Oh, yeah. [LAUGHTER] Oh, well. Hey. They're good to have rounds. Well, I was like, I told everybody I was down. I'm going to heal up and rest up when I die. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm going to let the rest of it hang out. Exactly. Exactly. But, you know, speaking of weather this week, you know, we're definitely going to have some, you know, Wednesday. Right. Yeah, it looks like. So, everybody just be careful. Don't run in need deep water and get still in the bind. You know, I hope hopefully we won't have any extreme weather here. Hopefully it'll all be west of us. But, you know, the east side of the storm is always worse side. It is. So, just be careful, depending on how far over it comes. Yeah. And that's what we're going to get. We're going to get the outer bands on the east side. So, they're going to be coming in off of the bay, off of the Gulf. And we're going to get some wind and rain in there. But, you know, I don't see it being the hurricane stage. Right. But I think we could see some 50-60 final hour winds. Oh, yeah. And there'll be some, there'll be some few tornado spin offs. Yeah. But, you know, that being said, that's all going to occur Wednesday. So, I'll look for it, you know, whether normal after something like that clears up. It's really, really nice. Right. So, if we can get some good sun and get some good wind blowing, 15, they say 15, 20 mile hour winds consistently Thursday and Friday, then that's going to help dry out the battleship part. Yeah. So, we're going to have a nice car show of Jeep bash on the bay. Mm-hmm. It's going to be awesome. Yeah, we look at, I'm getting calls from everywhere, man. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, at least they're Jeeps. So, if there's a little wet out there in the grass, they ought to be able to get better. Well, yes, they got four wheel drives. I might have to get some dump trucks and break some dirt in there and fill some ruts after it's over with. Yeah. Well, you know, it is what it is. Yeah, but no, that'll be a great show and invite everybody to come out and see what they're all about. Well, if you've got any other questions, I'll be on channel 10 in the morning at 0900, which is 9 o'clock, and they'll have the tent walking with the Scallowag Jeeps cleverly on board, and then we'll have some, maybe three or four cars on there as well. Well, we should have six or eight vehicles, and I've got some of the trophies that we've already got put. I'll have those out so the people can see them that this is what we've endeavored to do. I mean, anybody and everybody can have a car show, and all the trophies wind up being, you know, just regular old plaques and regular old trophies like we get done at the racetrack and ball parks and what have you. I know the Jeepsters being Jeeps, they've got a little bit of gig going on with the ducks and those big yellow ducks. So their trophies for this car show is going to be ducks, and it's a nice sized ducks, and they'll be one of them. It's not going to be hundreds of those, so they'll be, you know, six or eight for the best of the show. We endeavored to put the money in the first place, trophies, and we're not going to do any second or third places. If you don't win, you hadn't won anyway, so. That's right. I know, you know, second place to me is always the first loser, so. Yeah, exactly. I'd rather not get in as I had to get a second place, you know, I would have made it. Just a reminder, you can win. Yeah, that reminds you, you didn't do enough to get your car in shape where you've been winning. Right, right. But it sounds like it's time for those take a break and let you hear from our sponsors and we'll be back after these messages. It's the Car Doctor with Kevin Ray Winkle and Tom Klexton on FM Talk 1065. Call Kevin and Tom now at 3430106 with your car maintenance and repair questions. The doctor is in. And welcome back to the Car Doctor show. This is Car Doctor Kevin Ray Winkle on Tom Klexton. You have any questions, give us a call or send us a text, 3430106. But looks like we may have someone online now. Call you with us. Good evening, gentlemen. Hey, hey. And I do use that and I do use that term as somebody speak out loud. Kevin, you did miss some good food the other day, man. I hate to couldn't make it. Let me tell you, I got the classic BLT and let me tell you something. They put some bacon on there BLT. Oh, Judy's always, I love eating there. I mean, they always serve good food, no doubt, shoot, I've been eating with those people there for shoot 30 years, right? Yeah. Close to. Well, we used to be down there. When Bob's alive, that was his routine. That was one of the days. What day of the week did y'all eat? We ate there a couple of times a week and then we'd go a few other places. Yeah. But we had Bob's Christmas party there. Sure. I miss Bob. Yeah. Well, don't let Tom tell you about Phillip's line and stuff because, you know, Tom only lives on days and then why did you have to take you figure that out. Hey, but next time y'all are going to be a wall because I was going to talk to y'all about this last week. Uh oh. Just let me and Phil know we can, we'll stand in for you. I mean, we can, we can GTF and you know, we can Google that stuff. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It's all good, it's all good. Yeah. Yeah. What's going on? I, I, it's a big warehouse there, bro. Oh, no. A whole lot. Uh, I got me on a different shift this week. I'm going to have to get in bed here pretty early. Uh oh. Got to get up at 0300 and you know why they call it 0300. Oh my God. It's early. I know that's early. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'll ask you a question. Y'all don't open 24/7? Pretty much. Huh? Uh oh. Pretty much. Uh we got shifts that come in different times of the day. Uh our order pickers, excuse me, you might have to, this, this changing weather's got me going nuts. Yeah. That's our order pickers. Our order pickers come in at four o'clock in the morning. The, the guys that load the trucks, they come in like four 30, of course me, I got to be there at four so I can get the conveyors started and everything, but uh, do you enjoy the maintenance? Uh, well I'm not in charge of it, I, I just do most stuff. Oh, you just say I'm maintenance. Yeah. They're pretty much like today I was there by myself, ran a whole dead gum warehouse from, from four o'clock till 12 and finally second crew come in and I was like, okay, I'm going home. Yeah. Yeah, I don't blame it, but, well give us a little rundown that that I know that's an automotive warehouse, but it is, is that like a distribution center warehouse? I mean, what, what are we, uh, are y'all taking care of just the mobile air stores or how does that work? Oh, no, we, uh, we go, uh, Pensacola, Louisiana, Jackson, Mississippi, uh, Tuscaloosa. We have a truck that goes to Atlanta every night, uh, way down in Florida, Pensacola. Uh, excuse me, I think our closest warehouse in, in Florida is, uh, Lakeland, um, we have one in Memphis, uh, I mean, but we pretty much take care of, of, oh, probably three, four hundred, five hundred miles of, of, of the mobile area. So you are actually a distribution center, not just a local warehouse. Nope, we, uh, we, we, we do it all. Yeah. Well, and, and you're not just, um, someone doesn't place an order and then y'all take it straight to the shop. You're actually taking it to the, uh, their warehouse and then they, they distribute it from there. I'm sure. Well, actually, um, we have what we call our city counter, uh, like say if you go to the O'Reilly's in Fairland and you want to part and they don't have it, they say, well, you can run down there to the, to the warehouse and get it and, or we can have it delivered here. And we do deliveries to all the local stores, um, um, about three or four times a day. Oh, okay. So, I mean, we're, we're, we're going and, I mean, all the times of the day. And I think we actually have one truck that goes, uh, to Louisiana, uh, around New Orleans area, uh, once a day. So, I mean, we will, if, if, if you need a park, we don't get it to you. One way or the other. Or you should come pick it up. I would think you guys have got 15, 20 million dollars worth of inventory there. Oh, more like a hundred million dollars here. Oh, really? I had no idea. This place does, uh, on average, about 1.5 million dollars of business a day. Oh my God. Hmm. And I am not going to say who it is because I don't want to, they pay me to advertise all the time. I understand. But you know, it, it is an automotive thing and this is an automotive show. Uh, and I thought maybe it would be interested in some of the, especially some of the gear jammers out there, uh, you know, uh, gearheads like myself that, uh, uh, have been around this industry for 30, 40, 50 years and, uh, you know, we, but sometimes we'd, we'd like to know where our stuff comes from, what the process is, uh, you know, how do I get it? What, you know, what am I looking for? And, uh, I know the days were back when I started my parts house in the early 70s. Uh, if you had, you know, 30, 40, 50, $100,000 worth of parts, you had a pretty good inventory. Yeah. You know, but now I'm, I'm going to these places and if, if they don't have, uh, half a million dollars or two million dollar inventory, they, they can't operate and then, and then I, I talked to Billy at one of the other, uh, uh, uh, parts places and I said, uh, how many, how many inventory you got in this place? He said there's seven million dollars in here. I said, so you, you, there's nothing that you ever have any problem with filling an order. He said, oh no. He said, we, we, we, we have items every day that we don't have. Yeah. Well, you know, Tom, if there's something that you order that our warehouse does not have and say Atlanta has it, we will put that order in. It will be on the truck that night coming from Atlanta and it will be back in the mobile fairlands warehouse the next day and you can come pick it up. You could get, you could get overnight over. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Basically overnight. Yeah. Right. Uh, unless there's some kind of something real odd. Right. Uh, now I know, uh, one of my son's Toyota had the, the, uh, the, uh, some kind of pipe on it. These are recirculated the, the water on it. We didn't actually carry that. I had to actually order it from Amazon, but, uh, I mean, but it's, it's very few and far between. Wait a minute. Amazon's got car parts. Amazon got everything. You can get everything from them. You know, I, that is never crossed my mind that they would have car parts. Oh, yeah. And I bad to say it sometime it's cheaper than what you would go by from somewhere else. You know, and I, it's hard for me to understand how you can order some of the things from them. I guess this is going to be our, our inventory parts running show tonight. Uh, what they'll say to be there, you know, you, you, you'll order to say it eight and nine o'clock at night and you say it'll be there in the morning. Yeah. I'm going like what? Yeah. But so undoubtedly they're carrying the inventories on some of these and, and the industry when I was running my parts place, we had, uh, Kevin's familiar with this. He's still involved. We, you had like a AA triple A and then, uh, and then an A and then you went to a B part. That was, you know, it was used a little bit less often and then a C and then a D and then then you had WD. So that means that the D used to come from the warehouse and the WD might have to come from that local warehouse and or a distribution warehouse. So WD meant warehouse distributed part is, I think Amazon is kind of like us. If they ain't got it in their warehouse, they got a warehouse somewhere near around that they can get it from, or they can get it from the distributor of that part. Right. The manufacturer to them overnight and then they can get it to you overnight. It's unbelievable. Yep. Yep. Hang on. Hang on, Joe. You're not over. You're going to sleep no way. Yeah, I'll be, I'll be right right here when y'all come back. All right. Well hang on. We're going to let you hear from our sponsors and we'll be back. It's the car doctor with Kevin Raywinkle and Tom Klexton on FM Talk 1065 call Kevin and Tom now at three four three zero one oh six with your car maintenance and repair questions. The doctor is in and welcome back to the car doctor show. This is car doctor Kevin Raywinkle on time classy and the questions give us a call or send us text three four three zero one zero six but we're sitting here, John with a jar hit. There you go. Go ahead to. Yeah. Try it. You know, it was good to see Marcus and you know what he said a while ago with this, little storm coming in about, you got it too paid better get some more glue. Well, with that head of yours, man, I don't think you got to worry about it. You slip streaming their markets. Well, I'm going to put some wax on his. Yeah. Might want to get some rubber bands just holding glasses on that, you know, and then from a man's hold the ears together, you know, keep them flying off. Yep. Welcome to the great guy. Kevin, I hope you can make it down next time because we have a good time. Yeah. Yeah. I want to try and make it. But it's not this weekend because I got to work this weekend. Oh, okay. I do have to do that. Well, I make it. I never know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, good back to the, the, uh, warehouse distribution center. We've had a lot of conversation over the last four years, ten years about electric cars. And I understand from some of your conversations that we've had here over the last year or so that you guys actually have some of the batteries in stock. Oh, yeah. Are you seeing much usage of that? Well, I don't see a whole lot of it because I'm on the, I'm on the main side. Um, but I'm sure there is a few of them going in and out and we have training that we have to do as far as what you can do with a hybrid battery. What you can do if it's not in the packing container, you're not supposed to touch it. If one's leaking, you're not supposed to touch it, uh, how you're supposed to tie it down in vehicles and this, that and the other. But so I'm sure that we've, we've, we've probably been selling quite a few of them, but you know, them, they're going to things are expensive and we talked about it a few months ago where one of them, uh, I think the, uh, invoice for one, it was $20,000 for, ooh, for a battery. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, oh, that being said, um, the bat, the battery that that unit, that would be being replaced in that unit, that battery, where does it go? Do you know? And then I know you do y'all see any of them? I'm sure Kevin has got some rules and regs that he's have to work under about that. Oh, yeah. Well, you know, that's a good question because that's one of the things that's been coming up about, uh, about all these batteries. Uh, what are they going to do with them once they're not any good anymore? They got a barrier. It's, I mean, it's like, it's, you know, it's, it's like uranium radiation stuff. It's like the, it's like the blades on the windmills. They, they, uh, they hadn't figured out a way to dispose of those yet. They're having to bury of them like they have to bury the, they spent uranium in our, uh, facilities that's breaking some, you know, our power and what have you. Well, you know, Tom, it's funny you say that about the, the windmills, uh, you know, they, they're supposedly green energy, but I mean, can you imagine how many gallons of oil that goes into, uh, one of those windmills to keep it lubricated? Oh, yeah. Look, we, we go never, we will never get away from fossil fuels. And then this, uh, climate change thing is, it's, uh, it's a force. It's, um, do we need some facet of it, some part of it? Yes, but we don't need it crammed down our throat like they tried to do with the cars. And now they're getting repercussions from that because the cars are not selling now. People are backed off on the cars, uh, and they're going to regular combustion engine cars and they're going to the hybrid car hybrid cars is going to be the big deal. Let me ask you this one question and, and, uh, Tom, you and Kevin can both, uh, jump in on this, we're paving roads and expanding roads. We're, we're building new buildings and, and how many times have you pulled on to a brand new paid section of the highway and you go, damn it hot. Right. Yeah. But, I mean, asphalt just fucks that heat in. It does. It's black. Mm hmm. Well, I'll give you the road that they blame them on cars, but I mean, we're, we're, we're making 16-lane highway. Right. Right. Yeah. That all they're doing is sucking up heat. I'll give you, I'll give you a country boy example, uh, it used to just kind of blow me away that if I was here in, in Mobile and it was, uh, 86 to 87 degrees and I could drive out to around Loosedale, you know, and get out of town and get out of suburban area and it would drop down to like 80, 81, what does that tell you? The buildings, the highways and all, they're, they, they absorb heat, they hold heat and, uh, you know, it just makes it hotter. I've actually, uh, had, and I've talked about it on the show and Kevin is aware of it. I could actually in my car tell when it gets like 90 to 95 degrees temperature, if my car is running and I've had my air condition on and on recirculate it's, it's, it's pumping out everything. If I go from a brand new black highway to a older asphalt road where the, the color has faded out and it's starting to get lighter color and are to a white concrete road, the air conditions immediately starts working better. Yep. Oh yeah. You know what I mean? Well, I mean. It's not so damn hot. You guys brought it up and I know this was a, a, a, an old show last week, but when you get out on the, on the racetrack, what's the racetrack, 150 degrees on your car? Sure. Yeah. Well, and this, this routine that, I mean, I, I'll, I'll take the infrared gun and now check the, the temperature of the track, um, on a hot day that, uh, you know, on these round tracks. And it's not unusual for me to see on a average day for it to be a 130 degrees. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Um, when it's probably 90 degrees outside. Sure. Yeah. So if you happen to have a brand new asphalt track, that's going to be a 150 degree. Yeah. It's going to be way harder than that. Well, I mean, I know everybody wants to be able to go from here to there with the, the least bit of inconvenience, but I mean, a two lane highway as opposed to a six lane highway. Oh, your air conditioner is going to be working its butt off. Oh, heck yeah. Mm hmm. Heck yeah. I know Florida used, and I used to hate to go to Florida because of it, because they had all those concrete highways because you would just bump yourself down through, right? Right. It was a little bit cooler. They were always cooler. Sure. Mm hmm. Because the lighter color reflects that heat. Now, you know, here's, here's the thing, then we talked, I think we've talked about this before too. What we're seeing is the country is building the proper type roads at all for us to get involved with the electric cars. Now, the electric cars are not going to be efficient when we have to pull up in parks somewhere, like at a gas pump, which is actually an electric outlet, and sit there and wait for an hour or two hours or three hours for those things to charge. The real ideal thing for them is when you have one in your house and then you charge it overnight and you say, I'm going to Atlanta. So, you might run out of battery before you get there with normal. But what they're doing, they're building highways that has a lane in the new highway that has a charging system built into the lane. You know how you take your phone now or your watch and you lay it over on the night desk, and put it on there and it charges on that little deal overnight, same thing is happening to the cars and that's where we're going to have to go with it. We're going to be able to charge that battery as we're driving down the road. Yeah, but they'll have to figure out a way around it, but like myself, I had a pacemaker put in, I can't be around that. Oh, I hadn't talked about that. So there's other medical issues that people can't be around that either. Really? I don't know how they're going to get around that, you know, it's to the point where I can't be around the welder or any of that kind of stuff. Really? Not that either, so there was anything with a lot of amps, anything that draws a large amount of current and/or magnetism, that kind of stuff, I can't be around. What did they tell you that it would do? Well when they got to the point where they were saying it was not going to work anymore, then I just, okay, I'll take your word for it, I'm not going to test that. Oh, right, yeah, well that's true. But is there anything said now, here you are, a master tech extraordinaire in the industry for all these years, and is there anything on the cars, do we have anything in our charging systems on the cars? Now they would be detrimental to that. Have you found anything to this? I know you do it every day, you're there every day. I'm there every day, you know, but I'm not as hands-on as I was at one time, you know, being shop-forming. Yes, I do get my hands dirty once in a while, it's more about answering questions. Diagnosing. Yeah, doing some diagnosis and pointing people in the right direction, and watching work flow and everything else, but, you know, these electric cars are kind of a problem, I have to be careful around them. You know, the ignition systems, I don't need to get shocked by them. I've been, I've been bet by them, I don't know how many times over the years. Over the years, yeah, we used to do that, see if it was, you know, if it was running right. Yeah. It's going to how hard it shocked you. Yep, but no, they're, they're not supposed to get bit by that stuff anymore, so. All right. Hey guys, I'm hanging over, I hear the music, so I'll be hanging over for the next one. All right. We're going to take a break, and let's hear from our sponsors, and we'll be back. It's the car doctor with Kevin Raywinkle and Tom Klexton on FM Talk 1065, called Kevin and Tom now at 3430106 with your car maintenance and repair questions. The doctor is in.

But speaking of callers, I got one of our friends from, from way back on, on the line here. Oh yeah. This is part of, part of the car show you got going on. Yes sir. This is the fabulous Greg Looney, Greg is going to be in charge of our Jeep division of the veterans, happened veterans car show and Jeep base on the bay. This will be this area deal with a battleship Parkway. Greg, what does it look like, son, are you scared of the weather? No, man, I'm not scared of the weather. We're good. The weather is going to be great. I just looked that a little while ago, the only thing that this changing is the temperatures creeping up on us a little bit, but hey 86 and sunny, I'll take it. Oh yeah. That's better than that. That is something we had last year. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That's right there. Earlier in the week, it was down around 82 for a high, but a 86, if it'll stay in there, I'm good with it. As long as that sunshine and I think all this mess between here and there is going to get out. I think we're going to be fine. Well, it looks like with the rain gets out of here Wednesday, Wednesday night, they're still saying that we might have some 15, 20 mile an hour winds. If we do, that'll help dry out the park. There you go. That's right. That's what I was thinking about, you know, between that and Friday. That area is pretty hard packed over there, too. I think we'll have good runoff. I don't think it'll be, I don't think it's going to be too bad. I think we're going to get a lot of rain, but hopefully it's not too bad. I'm looking forward to a great day. Awesome. You know, I'm getting some calls from, you know, I got a call from a group actually over in the Pensacola area that's coming over and they want to know how early they could get in. I guess those people don't sleep at night. Well, hey, you know them car guys or they get excited about it. Oh, yeah, man. Well, I do think we've generated some good interest. I'm hearing from people along the Gulf Coast. And I think I'm very optimistic. You know, I think last year we had that early morning shower on Saturday, really, really the car guys. The jeeps, they're going to go, they don't worry about rain too much, but the car guys polish on those things, but I'm really optimistic. Yeah, I think we're going to have a, I think we have a great turnout. I mean, there's a lot of interest out there and excitement and I think it's going to be a good thing. I think so as well. We've been able to investigate and delve into some totally different awards and trophies this year. And we've had Pacific trophies for the jeeps and we have specifically specified trophies for the cars and they're most all of them unique. There'll be no standing, you know, ballpark trophies given. That's right. But the jeep ones I'm extremely excited about and I know the car ones look great too and they're always a special trophy for this, but the jeep trophies this year are really unique and I think the jeep people will really, really like them. I think they're going to be really accepted and it's going to kind of set us a precedent for years to come. I think we could make this a trophy that people think of that show when they see this trophy. There you go. And you know, it is a special made trophy, it starts up and you can go down the store and buy the little lady that owns the company to produce these, produce them specifically for us and they're very, very unique and we've got people to tell you, "Well, if I don't win one, I want to know where I can buy one." But the other thing that's really big, this is a lot of people don't realize this is not just a car show. We with the P.L. Wilson Detachment Marine Corps League have tried to encompass in the name veterans, helping veterans and we've actually are having this to generate revenue so that we can help some veterans in need and we will actually be giving away probably to 10 different outfits and different 501(c)s and worthy organizations that Saturday morning and we're going to be able to give away $45,000 to help these people do things. People like the quilts of valor. How many of you know what a quilts of valor is and have seen a veteran that's 78 and 90 years old to get that quilt wrapped around his shoulder in appreciation for his services and all so? That presentation is special and I tell you what, I can, it's probably the only car show that I've gotten choked up at last year watching those guys get those quilts of valor and knowing what it means to just imagine how much they feel the love and the appreciation of receiving those things and to watch that presentation. It's a really neat talk show that you really need. We have, I think, six or seven that's going to be presented this Saturday somewhere around 10 a.m. One of those gentlemen is a 98-year-old Navy veteran here from the mobile area that was on, he was transferred in the Navy, he was transporting the Marines onto Okinawa while the U.S., Alabama was laying offshore, laying in ammo to soften up the areas where these Marines were going and he's got some tough stories, we've got another 92, 93-year-old Navy guy that will be there to get his quilt. But we're getting some of these outstanding veterans that have some awesome stories, we've got a veteran that's got a Tyler Marine from World War II, also he's chosen Reservoir and had his feet frozen up there in that deal, he's 96, he's going to be there, people can talk to him, get their pictures made with him, so we're going to really make it interesting to people to come and it'll be a vet orientated type show as well as an awesome car show. Well, those heroes are the reason that we are able to do things today that we're able to do because I can promise you, if it wasn't for those guys, those guys gave 99% so we could have 1% and freedom is not free. That's right, exactly right, and this show, if you attend it and even if you don't have a car or a Jeep, if you just want to come out and expect they look around, we'll have vendors out there, but to see these presentations really make you proud, really make you proud. Well, we're going to have a couple of presentations, if it works out all right, we'll do a presentation of the 13 folds of the flags and let people understand and see what each fold of that flag represents, and it is very, very strong, and you're going to get your hacks out on those because you're going to get a tear when that thing is done. No doubt. Well, appreciate you giving us a call, appreciate all your work on the show and looking forward to it. See you on TV at the morning at nine o'clock on Channel 10. Yeah, that's right. I got some Jeeps coming out and hey, just don't let the weather scare everybody. We're going to be fine. It's going to be a beautiful sack. Here you go. Bless you, brother. Appreciate what you're doing. Hey, guys. Take care. Thank you, Tom. Thank you, Kevin, for what you're all about. Thank you, sir. Thank you, Greg. All right, man. Bye. I know everybody is looking forward to the show this weekend. It'll all be a good turnout and then beautiful weather. I hope, you know, hopefully all this tropical weather will be gone and pull all the other junk out with it and we'll have clear weather behind it usually, so all that should be good. And be careful of that water. Don't be running in that water if you don't know how deep it is. Right. Exactly. Yeah. If anybody has any problems with the cars, come see us in the U.J. Chevrolet. U.J. Chevrolet. Well, they're six days a week. So there you go. So give us a call. Come see us. And to Miggle, who brought all of our veterans in first responder? Who? Well, it's Monday morning, he's kissing.
