Plugs for Run Flat Tires? Some Houston Hiking? the...

In Wheel Time Podcast ·

2026/05/20

Run-flat tires sound like a simple promise: keep driving after a puncture and skip the spare. The reality is more nuanced, and we dig into the details that actually matter when you’re stuck on the side of the road asking the big question: can a run-flat tire be plugged? We talk through why run-flats cost more, how the reinforced sidewall carries the load after pressure drops, and why the puncture location (tread vs sidewall) changes everything. We also get into the practical stuff most drivers never

In Wheel Time Podcast ·

2026/05/19

A $4,000 budget. Five months to build. And a crowd ready to judge what you created. We kick things off with the Hot Rod Build-Off connected to the Hot Rod Riot in Victoria, Texas, and it instantly turns into the question every builder wrestles with: what do you do when time and money are the constraints, not your imagination? We talk through what that kind of challenge demands, from smart planning to stretching every dollar with salvage-yard parts and help from friends who know where the good stuff

Recalls And Real-World Car Values

In Wheel Time Podcast ·

2026/05/14

A wheel stud that “may separate,” airbags that are “misassembled,” and fuel tanks that can leak after a crash. That’s not clickbait, that’s our recall list. We kick things off with straight talk on the latest automotive recalls, including 2026 Hyundai models, the Tesla Cybertruck, Volkswagen Taos, Land Rover Defender, Audi Q5 seat belt concerns, and even instrument panel display failures tied to the Dodge Charger EV and Jeep Wagoneer S.

Vintage Car Ads, Hidden Houston Date Night and the...

In Wheel Time Podcast ·

2026/05/13

The fastest way to time-travel through car culture is to flip through old ads and we do exactly that, one glossy page at a time. We react to vintage magazine car advertisements packed with chrome, bold taglines, and illustrated renderings that feel closer to concept art than photography. Along the way, we ask a simple question with a complicated answer: why did car marketing used to feel so direct, and why does it feel so scattered now? From there, we chase the nostalgia into newsprint. We talk

2026/05/12

Ford supplying boat propellers sounds like a punchline, until you hear what happened next. We break down a Detroit manufacturing story where Ford becomes the supplier for a startup propeller company and uses 3D sand casting to collapse lead times from months to days. It’s not just a cool headline, it’s a clear signal of how advanced manufacturing, additive manufacturing, and deep supplier networks can reshape a small business overnight. From there, we zoom out on the bigger question: are automakers

In Wheel Time Podcast ·

2026/05/08

Tariffs aren’t just a headline, they’re a lever that can change where cars are built, what parts cost, and how fast automakers can commit to new investments. We walk through the big trade questions hanging over the auto industry, including the looming legal fight over tariffs and the upcoming USMCA review that could reshape North American manufacturing across the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

How A Texas Jeep Club Rebuilt After COVID

Jeep clubs don’t survive on mud alone. They survive when people feel welcomed, protected, and genuinely helped when something breaks on the trail. We sit down with Tim Mahaffey, President of the Lone Star Jeep Club, to talk about what happened to membership after COVID, why so many automotive communities quietly fade, and how a 30-year-old Texas Jeep club rebuilt momentum by getting serious about culture and member value.

2026/05/06

Detroit’s skyline hides a different kind of museum: abandoned car factories where America’s automotive identity was forged, expanded, and then left behind. We take you through the stories that still cling to these buildings, from the legendary Packard Automotive Plant and its wartime manufacturing legacy to the massive Fisher Body Plant 21 and the hope of redevelopment through new loft plans. Along the way, we connect the dots between industrial design, urban exploration, and the uncomfortable

Car ads can feel like a game you’re meant to lose, and we’re not letting that slide. We dig into the FTC’s warning letters sent to dozens of dealerships and major dealer groups over suspected illegal advertising practices and break down what the agency is targeting, including price ads that don’t reflect the true out-the-door cost. If you’ve ever shown up for a “deal” that magically required financing, a huge down payment, or a rebate you could never qualify for, you’ll recognize exactly why ...

Balloons To Backorders - How Helium Messes With Cars

In Wheel Time Podcast ·

2026/04/24

Helium is the last thing most drivers think about until a car can’t ship because a chip can’t ship. We follow a surprising thread from helium balloons to the clean rooms where semiconductors are made, and why a strained global helium supply can raise fresh questions about automotive chip availability. If you remember the pandemic-era semiconductor shortage, this conversation makes one thing clear: the next bottleneck might come from a material most of us never associate with cars.We break down what
