This is the Truth Network. Welcome to the Christian Car Guy Radio Show. I say this calls for action and now. Thank you, Lord. Forgiving me.

A mother room. Who is stronger? She taught my hands to fold. in prayer and trust your presence everywhere. We roll on Running on to the summer evening sun of the day.

It's twice as long we left on you. The mother of road trips today on the Christian Car Guy Show. Does that sound fun? It sounds fun to me, I can assure you. As my family, we certainly did.

A phenomenal amount of road trips. And when I think of my mother, this Mother's Day coming up tomorrow, it's Mother's Day Eve, which is a very biblical concept. If you think of Eve and Mother at the same time, you can't help but go, well, Mother's Day Eve. I've got to do this show on Mother's Day Eve. for twenty years and so I I wonder if you knew.

That the mother of road trips, actually, this is this is a true statement, Bertha Benz. Right, absolutely a beautiful woman. I mean, a phenomenally beautiful woman was. The wife of Carl Benz, and most people would credit him with inventing the automobile, but without Bertha, there would have been no. Mercedes-Benz, there never would have been a Benz.

And so, what happened was, she was actually very wealthy. Um and She had. five children, so she certainly was a mother. Uh with Carl. But she helped him develop her the first motor car.

Which was in about 1888. And when they had developed this car without her husband's knowledge, Fascinatingly, I love this story. She decides to go visit her what mother, which was 66 miles away. And of course, the car had never been road tested like anything like that. And there were no gas stations that you were going to stop along the way.

So Bertha took off on a trip that would take her and her two sons. She took her two older teenage sons with her on the first road trip. It was 66 miles, it took them 12 hours. But Some of the reasons it took him that long The car would go about What they say, 20 kilometers an hour.

So, what is that? Maybe 15 or so? The car would go that fast, but. you know, where do you get gas? And she had to stop at pharmacies along the way that sold the cleaning solution that they used for fuel in those days on the internal combustion engine.

And on top of that, you know, kinda neat, the the engine stopped along the way and she used a hat pin to c unclog her uh fuel line. resourceful woman and the brakes. Which, you know, if you remember You know, wagons, horse and wagons, buggies, the way that they used brakes in those days, there was like a wooden block that went up against the wheel, and that wasn't working so good in her car.

So she stopped along the way and made the first brake linings, put leather on those wooden blocks so that the car would stop a lot smoother. And you can see that we. Are now enjoying these road trips that we do because of people like Bertha Benz. And when I thought about Bertha and her 12-hour trip with her two sons. I couldn't help but wonder: you know, did they sing?

That's a long trip to be in a car. Um Which it was a convertible by all means.

So you're out in the open air. But did they sing songs? Did they play ISPY? Because they couldn't play the outfit game. They couldn't play the license plate game, Nick.

They were stuck on that one. Not a lot of license plates in those days and no billboards to look at.

So they had to play ISPY or something. What was a road trip like? back in 1888 or morely you know what was a road trip like in your family you know Um I loved him. Like My mother was the queen of, you know A bicycle built for two, or she'll be coming around the mountain, or those songs like that. What was a road trip?

Did you play games? You know, maybe you're the younger, you know. I know my kids would say, Well, we would watch movies, you know, on the VCR that was in the vans that my dad had for demonstrators and stuff like that. What was a road trip like for you? 866-348-7884-866-348.

7884. The number to call in, and we would love to hear. Your road trip. We got, of course, RK in the garage coming up with his story of his um. You know, back in the 20s or 30s, I'm anxious to know because he's 89, so he has a different memory of road trips.

And I also can remember um My grandmother's, um, stories. Of road trips with her husband and how they used to go camping, which was. you know, apparently a very common thing because back then that they didn't have You know, if you went back in the 20s or, you know, well, around the turn of the century and have motels either, because motels come from the idea of motoring. And so, you know, it was a matter of finding some place to camp along the way. And I suppose that there are some people out there who might even remember horse and buggy road trips.

What was that like? I used to have a friend, Miss Beck, who actually grew up in the area of horse and buggy road trips, and she told me about it. We would love to know yours. 866-348-7884. And it made me.

You know, this week I was studying this idea of motherhood, and I couldn't help but. Note that as we talked about last week, You know, that there was a A mother involved in the birth of Cain and Abel, right? And her name was Eve. And I don't know if you ever noticed it. that what Eve may have thought when Cain was born.

Because the prophecy that she heard after she sinned in the garden. you know, with Adam and God cursed her. She Was also got to overhear the cursing that he gave to Satan. And the curse was this: that, you know. Her seed would essentially bruise your head, and you would bruise his heel.

So she knew that there was going to be a seed. She knew because she obviously had seen trees growing and things like that that came from seed, that there was going to be.

Some type of birth, and that seed would break the head of Satan, which she knew all too well at this point in time had caused her undoing. And so, as they exited the garden, I know her hope had to be that she would have this seed. And so, when Cain was born, You can imagine Um, her excitement about going on road trips with Kane because she felt like that could be her way out, which would have a lot to do with why she named him Kane, as we talked about last week. But we got Daryl is in Utah. We would love to hear Daryl's stories about you, your road trips.

Daryl, you're on The Christian Car Guy Show. Good morning. We always camp. I was born in 'sixty-three.' And we go fishing and do different things, but we go out and uh about three hundred miles away and visit my grandma. And when the mileage, when Jimmy Carter cut it down to 50 miles an hour, 55 miles an hour.

Yeah. Oh my goodness, I can remember. It took so long. I was like, oh no. it dropped from seventy to, you know, fifty five and It seemed like it took forever.

It added it had to add another hour and a half. To that trip to your grandmother. Yeah. My dad had a fifty six board with a AM radio. And he'd let me play at the radio a little bit, but all we got was static, you know.

Well, you were were you driving in the mountains in Utah? Yeah. And so we just look out the window and You know, if you saw a deer or something, you said, Look, I saw a deer or whatever And then we'd find a place to camp and and camp and hopefully by a river and go fishing and then continue our trip the next day, you know. But um yeah, it took for a long time when when they dropped the speed limit down, you know. How fun is that though, right?

Aren't those precious memories of being with your family sort of in this clothes and like you're a captive audience, right? To you know what your mom and dad want. And did your mom make something good for those Camping trips to eat? Um, yeah, um, we uh if she'd always make something, we'd always have cookies or something, you know.

something to months along the way and then uh we'd you know set up camp and she'd make a meal, you know. That's beautiful. Absolutely wonderful memories. Yeah, it is. But I remember that when the mileage dropped down, and that shaped in my mind that.

I used to think, oh goodness, it takes so long. By then, I was about 10 years old. 11 years old, and I was like, oh, hurry.

Well, you know, it's funny about that, I remember it vividly too. And that that was the year I went to college. And I had to drive from Albuquerque to Dallas. And so, you know, what would have been a five and a half hour trip all of a sudden was an eight hour, you know, it was it was it made it made a huge impact. The good news is we got good gas mileage while we were doing it, Darrell.

So I appreciate your call so much. We got to go to a break. God bless you there in Utah. We would love to hear your road trip stories: 866-348-7884-866-348-7884. You're listening to The Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com.

Thank you, Lord. Forgiving me. A mother room. Strong She tore my hair. In prayer and trust, your presence everywhere.

The mother of all road trips today on Christian Carc Eye Radio Show. We would love to hear. Your memories of road trips with your mother. Maybe you're still making those memories. We would love to hear it.

866-348-7884-866-3487. 7884. And certainly, I was blessed to have a mother like that. And I know. Um That Nick does over here at our produce.

We're going to talk to him about his mother's road trip.

So. It wasn't long ago. You guys were on a road trip, right? Yeah, we sure we uh went to Pennsylvania. Uh Yeah, it was a good road trip for sure.

And so, when you think of road trips with your mom, Nick, what do you think? Oh man. Honestly, one thing that comes to my mind, at least when we were growing up, was and it's so random, was um. the smell of uh breaks uh of eighteen wheeler um how they uh Oh, yeah. When you're going down the mountain?

When you're going down the mountain, exactly. Because when we were going up the mountain, or down however when it got put it uh there was an 18 wheeler in front of us and then it put on his brace and there was just so much of smoke and We just inhale it all. It was thick, but we know getting around. You could appreciate Bertha trying to stop that car with their two boys with those wooden brake shoes. I mean, those things were like the Holland version.

Yeah. Man, that's so awesome. Another thing that comes to mind is just we like to talk about... We like to sometimes reminisce on the past and be like, oh, remember that time, you know, me, my cousin, and my grandmother, we went on a road trip as well. And we talked about how this one time we were playing the name game, not the name game, the alphabet game.

Right. And we had to let it go around and whoever breaks first, you know. And so it was A, B, C, and it got to me and my letter was R. And I'm thinking R, R, what can I say R, R? Arg.

Arg, like the pyramid. And for some reason, that has always stuck. And it was just a random moment. But it's those times where you're talking about the past just on the road. That really makes us.

Right, it's an intimate setting and it creates. An intimate memory that those things they stick with you. And we would love to hear yours. That's why I want you to call us. 866-348-7884 is the number to call in and share your road trip.

Uh, with your mother, what that might have been like, and in those things that you remember well, or camping trips and all those kinds of things. 866-348-7884. So, we were talking about. of the situation with mothers in the Bible. And certainly I'm sure that Cain and his mother Eve, when you think about it, since it's Mother's Day Eve, you know, they may have been on a road trip or two, but unfortunately, you know, Cain kind of turned away from God.

And he walked, literally, after he killed his brother, he walked away from God. And it's an unbelievably sad thing. The good news for Eve is she also had Seth. And Seth had a different path. And we all uh are Certainly related to Seth.

I don't know if you've given that much thought, but everybody that came out of Noah, because Noah is related to Seth. And so we all have that mom in common. But there's another mom, if you know Christ, it's very much involved. And I don't know if you've ever noticed how. Mm.

God used the story in John chapter 2 to describe a little bit about Cain and Jesus's mother. Um And so if we read John chapter 2, I want you to note some things that maybe you hadn't seen before. But it says on the third day there was a wedding in Cana. Of Galilee? Do you think that's a coincidence that it was named Cana?

Do you think that it had to do with a wedding? And the idea that eventually, obviously, we're all going to be married to Jesus and You know, as we're the bride of Christ in so many different ways. But the fact that this was on the third day is really spectacular. If you know a couple other little details, like usually Jewish weddings happen on Tuesdays for the very reason that Jesus, that God, when He made. The world on the third day, right, is when he separated the waters and the land.

Like you would be separated from your family as you get married into a new thing, right? And then after that separation, God's glory was revealed through the land and the trees and the grass, and the first fruit came also on the third day. And you might also note, and one of the big reasons that Jewish people do get married on Tuesdays is because. That's the day that God said good twice. He said it was good when he separated the land and the water.

And he also said it was good when he made the trees and the fruit and all those kind of things. And so it's kind of fascinating that this too happened on the third day in Cana. And that word Cana is very much the word. It was named after the word that Eve used when Cain was born. Again, Eve was terribly excited because she thought that this was going to be the end of the curse.

Well, Seth would end up being that. But it, you know, through his line, But it doesn't change the fact that Eve was really looking towards a man that would be born, the seed that would break this curse. And so if you've ever wondered why Jesus. Listen to the John chapter 2 again to listen to how Jesus refers to his mother. He doesn't call her mom here.

He says now both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding, and when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine. For Jesus said to her, Woman, What does this concern have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.

So, I don't know if you ever had considered why Jesus used the word. Because there was a separation that was happening here. He was going from being her son to being the Messiah. And he uses that word again on the cross when. He says, Mother, behold your son, John.

Because to an extent Mary represented the mother That would change everything, just like the mother of the seed, that would, in fact. um break the head of Satan. And unlike Eve, she did what God asked her to do, right? She said, unto the Lord, do unto me as you wit. And again, she followed God.

And there was a remarkable difference. In how much Jesus obviously had this relationship, but at this point in time, he doesn't call her mom, he says woman. But then His mother says some of the wonderfulest words ever spoken. Whatever he says to you, do. Like, what a great word from a mom to tell us.

that whatever Jesus tells us to do, do. I mean, that's amazing. We're going to have RK in the garage. We've got plenty of time for your stories. 866-348-7884.

We'll be right back. Yeah. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. We roll on and on to this summer evening sun but the day You can't call, you can't call. Yeah, we'll conquer it all.

Together, dreams become reality on the road trip to road. The mother of all road trips today on the Christian Car Guy Show. Everything from Bertha Benz and her original trip and her um The original motor cars, 66 miles in 12 hours to um You know, Adam and Eve and Mary, we've gone everywhere, but now we're going to go to the garage with RK.

So speaking of RK. And now time for the legendary Garage of RK88 and still full province. Yeah. I gotta update that RK. It's 89 now.

And you certainly are full throttle. And so when we think about mothers and road trips. Let's see Ninety years ago, was it like nineteen twenty 30s. In the 40s. In the 40s.

Okay. Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Yeah. Well, I I have one if you want me to tell you.

I definitely do.

Okay, th this is um I was born in 37, but my sister was 35, and my brother 39. My dad worked for General Motors and we had a thirty-two Shovel ain't five window coop. with the rumble seat. I remember it being black, and it also had free willing, Robbie.

So when you say five windows, let's.

Well, you got the two what they call the five windows the two doors, then a little window behind them, and then a rear window.

Okay. That's a five that's the five window coop. All right. And it had a rumble seat.

Now the rumble seat, if you look at these thirty-two. The the they just took the deck the the tru the trucklid and turned it around and and it opened from the top and went back and it had a seat there. And then you had some room between there and the driver's side, driver and passenger up front. It went through there. And I don't forget.

We took a road trip to Niagara Falls. Wow. And it rained four or five times, or it rained a lot.

So we had to close the rumble seat. And we were in between the the passenger and the driver in between that cubby hole back there. It was it it went through to the dri to the seat. To the rumble seat, so we had room because, but we were in a small cage, I mean. That that is At that time.

So I remember it distinctly because my sister was born in 1944, and there were only three of us.

So it had to be in 43 or 44. I or four. Anyway. The funny part about it is the whole road trip, we got to Ca got to Niagara Falls. And b being my mother born in England, She didn't bring any papers with us.

So she could not go across And look at the falls from the Canadian side, or they wouldn't let her back in.

So she had to stay. In the motel or hotel, where we were, I remember. And the three of us and my dad. One over to watch look at the falls from the other side. And if that was the funniest part about it, I I couldn't understand it.

why why she couldn't g go back at that time. And I I remember being paperwork later on. I did not know your mother was from England. Oh, born in. Oh, you know, I had a problem.

I didn't have a problem growing up. Everybody would call looking for me when the phone was there. And they said, oh, Rich has got an English maid. And they say and they would tell me, Oh, I didn't know you had a maid. I'm saying, what do you mean a maid?

She said well the woman the person answered the phone is English. I said, that's my mother. That was great. I distinctly remember that. That's more than 80 years ago.

'Cause that probably was, what, five? I had never thought about what you do with a rumble seat when it's raining. Hopefully, they're little kids like you're talking about. Um And you know The rumble seat f still faced forward though, right? Yes, yes.

Yeah, and a and a and and the rear window The rear window back then You could open it. The rear cook window, you could open it and slide it open. It was just odd because they do that today with the trucks and stuff like that. And it was just, it was unique. And and so you could talk to the people in the car from being back there in the rumble seat.

Yes. When it when it was when it before it was raining and you had to climb up it or not. But the the the the five window coop, see the the the only the three window cooper doesn't have extended windows, didn't have the rumble seat. Because I guess they figured out we better put some space between the driver and the passenger to the rumble seat. if if people wanna, you know Hang out of there.

You couldn't do it today, but you know what? You know, my father worked for General Motors too. That's an amazing coincidence in that. And we had in the early sixties, you know, the station wagons, the the seats faced backwards. Yes.

And so we were looking where we went. And I remember many a road trip sitting back there in those seats. You know, facing the wrong way, which kind of made you a little bit car sick if you're a little kid. Yeah. But anyway, those are.

And we had the um. Sky Vista wagons. And so, when you said five windows, those cars, I don't know if you remember. They had windows in the roof. They had two yeah, they were like a s like a sunroof, but they were called Vista because they had trains back then that were Vista cruisers and and uh and so they they put those two Uh and we just thought that was the coolest thing, man.

Like that was like. That was Oldsmobile. Yeah. Well, I'm going to have you hang on, Arcade. We've got Solvo in Thomasville.

She's got a. Story for us. about her mom. I'm I can hardly wait to hear Sovo. I hadn't heard her talk talk to you in a while.

Good morning to you, dear. Oh, good morning. Good morning. So what what have you got for us? It's not really a road trip, but I could tie it into it.

I wanted to give a big shout out to you. and your ministry with the Christian car guy. You've got a wonderful man named Scott that's on top of his game. He prays for me. He just has been such a blessing to me.

And then there's another guy Matthew, I've not met him yet, but he still got my ninety eight Hunda because I've been in the hospital, can't go get it yet. Oh, I didn't know that. But your tow guy, Terry Inman with GWI. Top of the line. He does such good work, and I just wanted to give a shout out.

And I do have ideas for The Christian family on how to promote this for. Uh Terry with the T W I Measures They need to be on his Facebook page. And they need to make a D D I and keep it on their key ring of his telephone number for Towin, and put one in the automobile book in the glove compartment. And keep him as a contact in the telephone on your cell phone. Yeah, I I always we always promote that sovo.

It's a beautiful thing that Everybody in your family needs to know, gee, who you're going to call when this happens. And like you said. Exactly. And again, what Sovo is referring to is the Jesus Labor Love, which is the ministry of the Christian Car Guy Show. It in self is its own 501c3.

And the Jesus Labor Love is car repair help for single moms, widows, and families in crisis. And we're so grateful for. You call in a chance to help, right? And pray with people. And like you say, Scott is an amazing volunteer for that.

Terry does his record service. But interestingly, I don't know if you know this so well, but Ray's Body Shop and Record Service. Um They have towed for us since the very beginning, towed and towed and towed.

So we have. A real blessing that we have so many that have participated in that program with us. I did not know about the rest of them, but I was very impressed with Terry. Yeah, he is a wonderful Christian man, as is Jerry. Mathis with Raised Body Shop and Rector Service.

So that's a great shout-out, Silva. I really appreciate it. Um, how about your mom? Anything you can say there? She's in heaven with Jesus, but she took us home a lot of road trips.

Going down in the backwood countries of Virginia. They were brave enough to take all six of us to the beach for the first time. That was a trip. Do you remember much about the trip? Mom said I'll never do it again.

Yeah, they were. We were four kids in a station wagon with my mom, but my mom. Um she had so many different activities that she had lined up. Um You know, but she still heard those famous words. Are we there yet?

When are we going to get there? Thank you, Ms. Silva. RK, stay with us, and we'll be right back with your calls: 866-348-7884. 866-348-7884.

You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Thank you, Lord. Forgiving me. A mother room. Best strong.

She taught my hands to fold it. And trust your presence everywhere.

So RK, I'm dying to know. My uh my mother is certainly Taught me how to fold my hands in prayer, and I can remember those prayers at bedtime. Did your mother do that?

Okay. You're on the bed. Yeah. But uh not not always. Uh but we we always But they we made sure that we always went to church, get up in the Sunday morning went to church and had Added.

for doing Sunday school classes, you know. But uh no ma I don't I mean I don't recall that. But Yeah. Much Robbie. I'm sorry.

No, no, it's okay. I just, I was, when I heard that song, I I I couldn't help but remember how tender of my mother was about that kind of thing. that but, you know, that I I gotta be honest, that she taught us this prayer. It used to always scare me. Yeah.

Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord, my soul. If I should die, what the heck? I say that every night, Robbie. I say that little prayer every night.

Still, good, good. And do you remember who taught it to you? My mother. Yeah. My mother.

My mother. Yeah, and that's a neat thing. And so. Um I d I am fascinated by the fact that your mother was English. Oh, she and I and she went back to the coronation in the fifty-two.

I remember that and in seventy six I took her back in Bicentennial and we spent two weeks in England with her visiting urge. you're siblings and and out there, but She was one of three girls. She was the not she was the middle girl.

So how did how did your father made her? Oh, I'm not gonna tell you.

Something else you can't believe. She came over at twenty eight or twenty seven, somewhere around there, I think. And she got stuck in Toy Corner in West Orange, New Jersey. and she was looking for somebody to help her out. And my father came to rescue her.

There you go. And the rest it's cars. I can't believe it. How you met your wife. Believe me, I met I met my wife as a result of the car business.

I know you meant Um At least Mary Ann is the same way. Right. Yeah. The same thing.

So, you know, it was beautiful. And so, did you know that about Bertha Benz? That she. Actually, took the the first motor car on this sixty-six mile adventure without. Her husband knowing it?

No, but I when you asked said told me about it this morning, my dau I told my daughter, she said, Well, look it up, Richard, her dad.

So she looked it up. and and and came up with the information, you know. I did not I did not know that sir and I what was the name of what was the name of the car It was called a motor wagon. A motor what? Just like a Volkswagen, only it was called a motor wagon.

Right. Wow. Five kids? Five kids. And it was her money because she was wealthy and she used her dowry to help fund the whole project.

It's an amazing thing. If you look on YouTube, actually, you can see the car. There's a guy that drives around in one of the cars. And it was belt driven, had a f Fascinating clutch system that it worked. It was easier to drive than anything you ever saw in your life.

Whole lot easier than Model A, I can assure you that. And you just spun it. It was one cylinder, it was one liter. It had a little less than a horsepower. but they spun this giant flywheel to start it.

And uh And off it going. And off it went. And uh She took her two boys. And the bravery of the thing, and of course, everybody thought she was a witch going down the road because what is this thing going down the road? What is this machine coming at us?

They'd never seen anything like it. But it's a fascinating story, but it was a woman. Right?

Somebody's mother that invented the first windshield wiper. And it was. It was. And women designers really made a huge impact on the automobile business, just so you'll know, since we're talking about mothers. Um that the Ford Taurus Right, which almost saved like the K-Carves kind of saved Chrysler.

The Ford Torahs kind of saved Ford. And the des one of the chief designers in that car was a woman. Sure enough. And that General Motors had a whole group of them they called the Damsels of Design. Yeah.

Dan Guilford design. The damsels of design, right? And and and a lot of the um The old general motors, remember they used to have those prototype cars they would travel around in? I'm trying to think of what it was called. Um But I got to see him and my dad would take us on the road to go see that stuff.

I bet your dad too did too, but You know, th those are things that I think you know, or a blessing in our memories. that motherhood is so close Um to this idea of turning towards home. Because when you think of home, you think of your mother. And because there's this whole thing that mothers give life just like God does. And so, you know, when Eve had that first baby, away we go, you know.

It it It did come down to Seth till we got the one that followed God, but at least she kept having him. We wouldn't be here today, right?

So that's amazing stuff.

So, with the last couple of minutes we got RK, we probably should hand out some advice to mothers, something that they ought to keep in mind. in in when they're driving around today or on their next road trip, what would you suggest? What? I I watched my mother drive and and uh The biggest thing I I had the problem was was Stoplights. Please Pay attention to those stoplights.

Because the other guy is wanting to go across the way, and he'll jump the light and. you go through, you have a problem. That's the biggest thing that I've seen. You're right. And another thing, right on those lines, is we tell these people, and you probably can't tell it too much.

Don't Turn your wheel if you're in the left. lane and you are stopped at a stop light, the last thing in the world you want to do is turn your wheels in ad advance of doing a U-turn or something.

So many people are killed every year because people will slam right into the back of you just like they do me, and they will push you into the oncoming traffic if you have your wheels turned already. And you never know when that's going to happen. And Yeah. You're right. The stoplights are.

And um yeah, well I watched my mom I mean Watch my mom go through three of them on the way home. We she was still driving, she lived here. 30 years ago or that's And uh I want you to crime through three likes. And I said, Mom, did you s don't you see the lights? Oh, I beat the lights.

Oh. Yeah, well, just so you'll know, the law is that if the light turns red before you get across the intersection, you're in violation. Yeah. And so Don't push the red light. I know the red light yellow light does not mean go faster.

It means slow down. Because you know, it's just you're playing a game of Russian roulette, you really are. And take it from my wife and I, who just spent the last month recovering from an automobile accident. I'm still in this cervical collar because somebody slammed into the back of us, and we, you know, we're just on the highway, and there was no way of getting out of it. You know, you could be the most offensive driver in the world, but somebody's coming up on you at 65 miles an hour because you're not.

paying attention to traffic. And You know, it's a little a little story about that. I live on out here in the desert. We only have about another 20 seconds, so go fast.

Okay, I live out here in the boonies, and it's hard to turn left in my driveway. And my w I would tell my wife, watch over the cars. Oh, they have to stop. I said they don't have to stop No, they don't.

Well, we gotta go.
