No Driving Gloves

We are focusing on driver courtesy and road etiquette. The discussion deals with the importance of being polite and respectful on the road, plus reminds everyone of basic rules taught during DMV testing. John talks car accident fault and the time lost beyond that of just the crash. Additionally, we mention the introduction of driver's licenses and the requirement for automobiles to make audible noises in the UK and the US. For once the the goal is to keep the discussion positive and offer gentle reminders rather than complaints.

John dives into the topic of minivan sales and the potential for a revival in the market. The discontinuation of certain minivan models, such as the Ford Transit Connect and Nissan NV200, is discussed as is the increase in sales for the Chrysler Pacifica. Of course, everyone should know John's love of the minivan and he emphasizes the practicality and affordability of minivans, arguing that they are a better choice for transporting cargo and people compared to SUVs. He tried to avoid the topic but the potential impact of an upcoming market-changing electric minivans was touched upon.No Driving Gloves WebsiteBuy us some Gas (a coffee)00:00 John Are we going to talk EVs? No, we're not. Well, we talked the UAW strike. Everybody else's. You didn't come here to hear more about the UAW strike and non-Evergreen content. You want new stuff, stuff you can listen to any day. Whatever. Wait till you hear the largely mini topic that we dive into.00:30 announcer Gloves are off. Welcome to the authority in car talk. No driving gloves. From exotics to hot rods to I'll get to it someday. Experience knowledge and controversy all right in the same suit. Buckle up and hang on for the ride. Now for your host of no driving gloves, John Fibiani.01:00 John We're enjoying a fine day. The weather's turning. Getting to be some good car driving weather out there. And I thought we should talk about a subject that's passionate to me. Something that just gets every car guy. It just strikes a mood with every car person. We've talked about them before here on No Driving Gloves. And like I said in the intro, we're not going to talk EVs. We're going to talk a potentially new and upcoming segment in the automotive industry. We're going to talk about the minivan. How the sales have kind of contracted, but we're looking to see potentially an explosion. An article came across my desk, and this might be one vehicle that really lights up this segment. And OK, it's electric. But if it lights up this segment, there's a lot of other vehicles that, you know, jump to mind that this will affect. I can't believe some of the stuff that's happened in the minivan realm lately. The fact that Ford discontinued the Transit Connect, that Nissan discontinued the NV200. Mercedes, well, I can understand Mercedes discontinuing the Metris, great vehicle, just kind of way out of its price. Even the sales that the Ram Promaster City, it has lost some of its sales. And it's also on, you know, after 23, all of those vehicles are gone. And it doesn't make sense. You look at the numbers and they chop those and the sales transfer and the sales transfer. Yeah, they declined a little bit with covid. And yeah, there's the shipping logistics and you might want to consolidate the world. But Ford has one of the best on the pro level packages available in the F-150 and vehicles like that. And I think the the Transit Connect would lend well to even going to a hybrid or electric city delivery vehicle like it should. And you could bring in and bring some of the Ford software, pro software. But even looking at the minivans that are currently on the market in the U.S. sales, there has been a decline with some. There has been an increase with others. I mean, the Chrysler Pacifica 2021 to 2022, 23 percent increase in sales. 143% increase in market share. The Toyota Sienna, the Honda Odyssey, both have decreased in sales. The Toyota Sienna is probably one of the best minivans out there. But you have to look at pricing. And the Pacifica is still the affordable leader in this. It's a family buying this. And a married couple with two kids or three children Their budgets are limited, and going out...

In this episode of No Driving Gloves, John explores the topic of car privacy and how our vehicles can track us. He refers to a report by the Mozilla Foundation that claims modern cars are a privacy nightmare, labeling them as the worst product for privacy. John finds the report terrifying, considering the level of surveillance we already experience with our electronic devices. It brings back memories of a song lyric from the 1980s - I always feel like somebody's watching me There ain't no privacy.

John asks the question are we jaded about cars? Are some of us in the industry overexposure? Is there a deeper meaning behind the object?

Here are a couple of quick thoughts to make you think.#cars #collectorcars oldcars #cartalk #carhistory #automobile #automotivehistory #classiccars

You know them. You read them. You have heard about them. They know all. The same expert a new topic each week. We talk about them.

Every generation has their own car style, what is the current automotive fashion? Is there one? Derek and John discuss hot rods, muscle cars, pony cars, Vanning, Mini Trucks, Lowriders, Sport Compacts, Affordability, ugly police cars, and Mork from Ork. A lot for 54 minutes.

In this episode, we delve into the significance of innovation and creativity in driving progress. They argue that throughout history, advancements and improvements have been made possible because individuals were free to explore and find solutions to problems. The hosts highlight the industrial revolution as a prime example of how innovation has propelled society forward.Expressing concerns about legislation and policies that may restrict creativity, the hosts assert that by imposing laws and regulations that hinder innovation, society is essentially hindering its own progress. They firmly believe that limiting creativity hampers our potential for finding new and improved solutions.To illustrate the impact of policies and regulations on innovation and technological development, the hosts bring up the example of the electric grid infrastructure. They note that while there is a push for electric charging stations, the number of gas stations for internal combustion engines being built far exceeds the infrastructure for electric vehicles. This observation serves as a clear example of how policies and regulations can shape the direction of innovation.Overall, the hosts advocate for the freedom to innovate and be creative, emphasizing that limiting this ability through legislation and policies can hinder progress. They argue that society should prioritize supporting and encouraging innovation, as it is crucial for driving advancements and finding solutions to complex problems.According to the podcast transcript, there is a growing disparity between the number of gas stations being built for internal combustion engines and the number of electric charging stations. The host suggests that a gas station with 50% gas pumps and 50% electric charging stations would indicate a shift in infrastructure towards electric vehicles. Additionally, the host highlights that some Walmarts, McDonald's, and hotels already have electric chargers, while gas stations do not. This suggests that the infrastructure for electric vehicles is developing at a faster pace than that for internal combustion engines.Furthermore, the host argues that gas stations are becoming obsolete with the rise of electric vehicles. They predict that once the petroleum industry realizes this, lobbying money will be redirected towards developing other technologies instead of electricity. The host also points out that according to the International Energy Agency report, by 2023, around 12% of vehicles on the road in the United States will be electric, supporting their argument that gas stations are becoming less relevant.Overall, the information from the episode suggests a growing disparity between the number of gas stations and electric charging stations, with the latter experiencing more rapid development and adoption. This indicates a shift in infrastructure towards electric vehicles and raises questions about the future of gas stations as electric vehicles become more prevalent.In this episode, the host explores the possibility of modernizing older technology to enhance fuel efficiency. Specifically, they mention an article about companies in the Detroit area that are examining older engine designs, such as the opposed piston engine, and finding ways to optimize their performance with modern fuels. This includes the utilization of synthetic fuels, hydrogen technology, and turbo diesel technologies.The host also highlights Mazda as an example, as they are considering the use of rotary engines in their vehicles. Rather than employing the rotary engine as the primary engine, Mazda is exploring its integration into a hybrid system, where it can generate electricity more efficiently for the hybrid. This approach also reduces wear on the rotary engine compared to using it directly to produce horsepower and torque for the vehicle.Overall, the episode suggests that by revisiting older technology and combining it with...

In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of how many cars are too many. This of course is after we discuss the recent patent filing by Ford Motor Company, one of which allows various ways to auto repossess your car. Derek does wonder how the salesperson will make that a selling point. Afterward the three key takeaways from our conversation about downsizing:Priorities matter: When it comes to owning a collection of cars, everyone has their own priorities. Some people prioritize the historical significance of a car, while others prioritize the thrill of driving it. It's essential to think about your own priorities and how they align with your collection.Time management is crucial: Maintaining a collection of cars takes time and effort. It's important to think about how much time you have to devote to your collection and how many vehicles you can realistically manage.There's no such thing as too many cars: Okay, maybe this one is a bit controversial, but hear us out. While it's important to consider your priorities and time management, ultimately, there's no limit to how many cars you can own if you have the means to do so. After all, who doesn't love a good car collection?Overall, our conversation on this episode was lively and thought-provoking. We hope you'll give it a listen and share your own thoughts on the topic.
