So if you got a question a tire question call right now and Tanya because really you have Rick for this first segment 866-34-TRUTH 87884 if you got a scam question. Some like that. We got the second segment you call us at 866-348-7884 tire safety were to get right to it. Tire safety we have Rick Brennan here VP of marketing at Como tires Rick, what should our listeners be on the lookout for this hot weather boy Robbie they need to be real aware of the air pressure. The as temperatures go up. The air inside the tire actually expands, so the pressure can go up inside the tire even though you don't drive for you. Don't put more air in it yourself.
The other thing is if it's too low.
If the tires are little bit underinflated. If, as they drive the temperature increases more because the tires are collecting marketing on Erin and that can also cause even more pressure build up inside the tire and more heat so check in pressures and get down and dirty and getting close and personal attire is the way to keep them delivering what they promise to write because it's the only place the rivers meeting the road you drive along with all this machinery but there's only a few square inches that your cars actually making contract with the surface of the road and that's those tires and Rick and my right that it this time a year a lot of tires will develop cracks, whatever. Because of that change in inflation going up on high and you really that inspection process is critical, especially if you fix the leave to go to Montana or some Robbie when we make tires.
We put a lot of stuff in it to keep him my pliable, like putting cream on your face to keep your skin nice and pliable as you age.
We put that into the tire to make sure that they last a long time and don't crack prematurely as tires go they start to crack.
So as the pressure build up a can actually open up the crack and the danger of the correct opening out is water moisture things from outside can actually get inside the tire, and if the cracks are deep enough they can get into that steel wire and corrode the belts that are on the tire and really caused a problem they need to make sure that you check the pressure and pressure should be checked on the tires are cold so the recommended pressures that are in the car for that the vehicle maker put in their use for tires that haven't been driven on.
So if they been driven and the tire pressure is higher than 100,000 on the door panel don't let out. It's normal for the tires to be a little higher than what the doorpost is with the vehicle manual for because of the buildup and pressure from the heat. When you drive on the time that is a lot of folks think like this on my tire and see what the pressure is that you mentioned it that it's either in the panel of the door words and their owners manual. The proper inflation is for the car because it's not the tire.
The all cars way different amounts in all the things of the.
The auto manufacturers of the one who know how much are supposed to be in the time that striated the tire sidewall.
This tell you how much higher can actually carry the recommended inflation pressure for your cars actually sent by the people who made the car so in the owner's manual on the doorpost usually on the driver's door either on the door or the doorjamb on the car is where you'll find the correct tire pressure. The other thing is if you if you bought some jewelry for that car and you change your inside make sure that you contact the tire maker tire manufacturer to find out what the new recommended inflation pressure because a lot of times it may be different if you change wheel sizes and you put a different size tire on the car you have to match that up with that what originally came on it so that you make sure that you have enough air in that tire and the tire can do its job is you can change the way the car handles so much that's that's so critical in this time a year is the time when you taken your car on vacation. It's can be driven a long time, perhaps on a very hot Highway. You can get a real good expansion in their arch risk for every 10� of temperature the tire pressure can actually go up about three psi. If you're used to driving there in the in the north in the Northeast. It could be 30� when you get up in the morning and it could be 70�.
Later in the day. Pressure in the tire can change dramatically so making sure you check the tire pressure when it's cold and just constantly maintaining is a very good practice beginning save somebody's life and Natalie well. We appreciate Como tires constantly given us these press releases, and in very concerned about the safety of what they're doing out there. We appreciate you guys. Rick, thank you so much for being with thanks Robbie, it's great to be with okay now listen we have got a show on till networking to be talking about working to be talking about these scams is trying to scam you out there new scam map we go look, we've had them on before you want to hear from them how you can you can beat some of those things and then all my the share your heavenly heritage contest.

Welcome Soren. It's good to have you with us will be good morning to everybody you know I saw this new app and I happen to have quite honestly very cheap android, probably the cheapest android you get the doesn't have much memory and so I was so pleased I really was when I could immediately download your app, it was absolutely free and the next thing I know I could detect scams right here. My phone great great feedback I got from everybody in humility be applicable to the wall of multiple accounts, especially in the auditorium. Law and immediately loaded 557 different I mean I guess it never thought oh 557 scams. There goes my memory, but it didn't all it did you guys do all that without using much memory. The web-based map of local all over, coming only in connecting of it on our cover, and we keep up baking gap goal you have way more Of the door the end of the year. We constantly update the applicant new account that's so cool and you guys actually part of the reason that this is free is your partnering with policing organizations around the world, one in Canada right yet will you could partnering with the Bureau cool date vacant lot you would say what oh what time when he emailed Clement phone: we partner lately, but you always delete the convenient location of the chief of police for negotiating.
The leather financial institutions that are interested to find a candidate that they're coming our way, so getting bigger and bigger. By the way, if your finger and well how cool scam detector how I didn't. All you have to do really is going to Christian Car Guy.com they have that little I forget what the device is called where you put your phone on the little picture and it will upload the app right your phone with a call it to what to call this morning. I forget the icon that the others like something you know, that looks like a little map thing and you put your little phone ionic and it somehow or another. Go to the website where you can get the app very easy. Absolutely free, but I know that a lot of our listeners may not have android, they may not have iPhones in their thinking. Why we need to know about these scams. What are the scams and be in a car guy I gotta be.
I started looking into what you guys had their and I thought wow this is really good stuff and stuff that I should've talked about on the chapeau a long time ago one of those that just jump right off the page at me was the lease termination scam you.
Are you familiar Soren. That is more important. The mother load of lowly leak When one quality agreement.the dealer that what would happen if you make of the lease early in the what would be the Celtic plate and all will probably contaminate your yard at least 30 and nation feel $270 and is not lying. He purposely equipment filmic guided out of the admission fee or penalty.
One of the two cannot get that that they gave you and that the other wanted the diminishment penalty. The electrolytic amulet depending on the company and up a few thousand dollars goal. The dealer tell you about one penalty but to penalty for the ability nation the nation and a lot of times and some still even think because they haven't associated this lease with a very complicated finance contract, which is when the lease really is, and so I agree with you more so when you say and it's a great question. By the way anybody leasing cars, which is not something I push, but in certain circumstances, very certain circumstances leasing a car if you said okay this where this what I want to do in spite of what Robbie says later to lease a car, but be sure and ask tell me about your termination fee and just like Soren said, you have the termination fee to guess what you pay. Even if you made all your payments on time you did everything you're supposed to do it all by the way, at the end of lease you still owe another $280 at the charger just because they can because they have a termination fee. That's the one fee that is talking about the other sake. The other fee is the early now you will know what wait a minute you are terminating early so we got to give you an early termination fee and quite often you'll find that even with some of the bigger, more well named banks and finance companies.
You'll be shocked when you've got the kidney Bank of America and Summit just just ask and then what they also failed to mention was. Oh yeah, there still interest, penalties, and you still owe the balance on the car so it's no different than trying to get out of a purchase that you that you you set up for 72 months and now you decided 48 months in that you want out will guess what you have to pay interest penalties. You can have to pay the residual what you haven't paid off in the car all those things are involved so I can't tell you the time Soren when I was in the car business that I would have somebody come in and they tell me I thought that I could turn this car in any time for $279. Just like you said, but they're telling me it's 14,006 just totally totally misunderstand and you know we use the word scam but this is not illegal. What they've done you when you sign that contract and you didn't read all that stuff will guess what you got scammed to an extent, but you know if you signed it. It's not illegal. What they've done is you know you're now on the hook for the situation in my right cochlear ability you have to make sure you really want� The period of time you are listening it and they can only read the small print in the development equipment you can when it comes to additional caught that you might not. You might be thinking while I got a question about these things, 8663487884866 the four trees now couple of the scams I'd really never heard of the course. I was having so much fun with my new scam detector app on my looking through these things. There's people out there giving bogus parking tickets. The parking ticket scam.
What's up with that one.
Soren well organized and validated with technology.metadata not allowed, the legal kind of software that we create clearly and let you know soon.
I hate to interrupt. We had to go to a break and we come back. You can find out how you might not fit was on your IRA and work and we got lots more scams that again one of the things I know you don't want to miss is this entry into the share your heavenly heritage program. Find out about on the break go to Christian car guy.com and share your heavenly heritage in both these what Barney Fife is telling you. You gotta nip it in the bus love that clip and that anytime I do live.
Gotta play Barney, especially with. Unfortunately, the loss of Andy Griffin. I thought you know what a tribute to Andy that you be able to nip some things in the bud right here on the Christian car to show today. We are talking to Soren Mahal of village with scam detector and what are some of the scams are going out. How can you get this new scam detector for your iPhone for your android will guess what you can go to Christian car guy.com and there you can find out if you get that for your phone but if you don't have those if you don't have a smart phone you don't have an android you got a regular phone you can just go to Christian Carter.com. Click on the link and it will take you to the scam detector website which gives you all this information right there for free right Soren right@thewebsite.go.com so there you go in the links right there Christian card you can go check out the scam that talks all about them. Everything we be just like you had it on the your phone only does need to go to the computer and and like you say you've got the Better Business Bureau's top 10 listed right there on the side of the website. All the scams are gone on auto face-to-face, Internet, telephone, it's all there. Christian Carter.com with a link or note scam detector so moving on. We were when we left her here he was here this parking ticket edit. It was actually not really from the police. These people and made up a dummy parking ticket that looked with like you said, with the technology being able to scan things they can make a parking ticket looks exactly like a parking ticket only now they put about a bogus website on the bottom of it right. Soren and so when you go when you go to your parking ticket at this website you're not really paying the police. So how do you protect yourself from some like that.
Soren checked the website link when you get up. Let's set a new goal and that it related to pay for your you're fine. You have to look in the brow that end, you know, when you when you keep HDP every website that you have to do a transaction. Will have had and still the website would be HTTP at and then continue weekly direct of the bed, but love your regular HTTP have to have HTTPS and again that the rest of the Lafayette Hospital, Huckabee from your file or County office event just to make sure you can doubt called graffiti and required about the out of the ticket that you apparently got because it could be somebody out there that you know he really been in violation but they just beat the police there dear, they're going around there more effective than the police and then put out parking tickets for legitimate infractions, but there aren't real parking tickets so scary is that there's people out there. Another one that you that you posted there under the auto scams which I I've actually seen this one done.
I'm ashamed to say that back in my earlier earlier earlier car days the car business. We actually did this one is called the open intercom and since I've actually taken part in this one, regrettably, and have asked for forgiveness for Soren will explain it. What happens is there's a telephone in the office of every sales little sales office that you're dealing with, and so what did what the car dealers can and will do is only the intercom open on that phone so that after you know you guys are getting their supposedly going to the boss to see what the best prices, they can get for you what they leave the up the intercom open so when they walked out of the office the boss and the salesman are listening to your conversation and talk about what your strategy is in order to buy this car. So, again, is this isn't something that's somebody got caught doing it. I suppose they could get some type of fraud thing done but it's is not uncommon and so you know when you're sitting there alone in that office, you, you might want to be careful what you say because it so that it could be bug so to speak, right Soren exactly in the gum and diamond go for a walk with which her friend would shoot with your family member that your unit getting delightful. Take a walk around the park parking lot by the dealership and caulk about your strategy outside don't look out the ATV. The they let you in their rule. Love you. You think you have your your private space will again what he can talk about the your strategy how to how to what you're the nation that about and yelled off.
Then he comes back and he points out exactly how you can leave Eagle late and then you buy the car right another one in this is as a salesperson I can tell you that this one was like a pit teeth. I mean it used to drive me crazy.
The dealers that would do this we will match the other dealers price scam and is that scam and so many on so many different levels. It's unbelievable and I might even since you know I might be considered prejudice witness on this particular one Sonos one you described this one okay will you try to look at her and the dealer account for you and you know what I will not but you will ever get got all up on legal linking entity actually friendly to say that you can bring in a written proof of the lower plate outlet and he will not and what you don't know you that the other dealership the other dealership that I'm going to play along with you will be able to get a lower pricing the right from the dealership down to make estate in the dealership and make you believe that you won't get a better deal. What would you go and you know how to avoid it. All his blocks. Tell them all thank you not interested in buying from you. Give me the best price. Right now I want to do because really what you do if you're the other dealers in this person says look I just need something from you in writing because whatever you give me this guy overhears indigo beaded. I mean how does that make you feel why did you come in here to take my time up and you and you not even interested in buying a car. You just want to use me and and so it's it sets up a lose lose deal for everybody involved and it it it's one of those that really just got to tell you the car dealer used to drive me crazy and some people even advertise in the newspaper. We will be in anybody's price, guaranteed will give you five times this and that and the other and in it and it's just an embarrassment really that you're asking people to align your behalf and all is that this is not is not good. Another one that that I saw here that I'd I got a kick out of this actually happened to me. Not that I get this from this one was called the gas station panhandler is what is listed on the app is actually the guys got a gas can stand waiting on you at the gas station of this one works for okay you are filling your bank and land approaches you, holding an empty field And later by the leg.
Another Gad who blocks away and keep it up you forgot to quiet the call and you might be one hand you a fig got right down the name, address and phone number so we can pay you back later and he said well I just need than $15 to get the fuel doesn't get I get home and other than the money you just give me a call of Blake alone" will set it up and while he felt would be fun a lot that we can help you get a good healthy that's all it scam detector.com and find out all about it as well as we go look which we've had them on before and mailed to look at some of your behind Carson like that on the Internet. You can use them to to go do this. Thank you for being with me today.
Soren God bless you and appreciate you so much and what you scam detector find out all about of the Christian card at icon that was promised, we gotta get to this testimony and it is powerful stuff.
It all has to do with the share your heavenly heritage contest. This lady entered in once I saw this testimony. I was like man this is so good, so we call them actresses. We got it dramatized.
We got music. We got a little sound effects behind it. I think it it really just hits the nail on the head for people that may be struggling with the LDS church or struggling with some other things that are mentioned in here speaking with tongues, and things like that.
There's a lot of good stuff in this particular testimony, so we wanted to share this dramatized and no it's not about cars but we have a lot of car stuff on the show. I think you cannot really be blessed by this that my parents were an alcoholic and constant fighting nondrinker in my mind why my mom and sister never be certain it was already physically and verbally when my sister was nine years old I was a dramatic change in outline drinking every night and when there is no church service short or anything except dress. Mom can cut her hair. She also wasn't allowed to wear anything church sermons were often in the fact the same-year-old girl. I was terrified and separate from insomnia. I was convinced and wake up in make matters worse, I was sure that you every single time it was an altar call and I would rest and mounting around my arms and my Jesus to come into my heart in the at least one of them. I need for my seven-year-old mind reason for some reason got stolen line when their name not going to alternately just once in a while and went in there.
The relationship only last drinking around. I was very angry or not married when I try to file for divorce. The marrieds filed in United so I wasn't legally married and all married again when I was 18, we moved to my husband's hometown in Pennsylvania and through a series of events ended up in Salt Lake City, Utah. My husband began cheating on me shortly after we were married. We had numerous affairs here marrieds out of the marriage was unhappy. I will always be thankful for our two wonderful sons Rob during the last year of our marriage I went to work as a cocktail waitress in a private club became involved with the club owner who was also married. We both divorced our spouses and began living together we live together for six years before getting married. He was an inactive Mormon who really didn't know much about what the Mormon church time was absolutely sure that it was the true church, and if anyone said anything negative about the church he would defendant vehemently although I didn't want anything to do with God living Utah put a lot of pressure on the kids. He convinced me that the boys to get involved with sports. The Mormon church had a basketball team and hosted Boy Scout said the boys became active in the church. The Mormon missionaries began visiting her home to Rob and Steve for baptism into the church.
Some of the things the missionary said to the boys bothered me because they line up with what little I remembered about the Bible.
I would ask questions that they couldn't answer. However, they taught that hell was temporary plate get out of my having a morning you was very appealing to me and I shall mean the nowhere in the book of Mormon reading, feeling, let me know. Thank God I might have decided I was actually well Christian radio.
We had some technical part of this event testimony and not be able to play the second half, which is the power is in the second half. But guess what good news is we will play it next week. Absolutely for sure. And the second part of this testimony relating the LDS church. The course will get a podcast the entire testimony appear this week@christiancardi.com for those of you want to hear the rest of this week, but we will certainly play the end of it next week and be able to play the entirety played in its entirety.
But you're wondering why how this come from what is well. It is the share your heavenly heritage contest and were doing that on Christian card I Robbie Thales a lot of the shows I'm involved with were asking you to write your own personal testimony to send it in and enter it into a drawing were also asking you to get your grandparents or your parents really anybody else in your family and submitted and you get extra drawings for every person's testimony that you submit now. Here are some of the reasons that I think you might consider that if you looked at Psalm 78, 335 it says things we have heard and known things our ancestors have told us we will not hide them from their descendents. We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power and the wonders he has done in other words, what's what is a town in the Psalms tell about the power tell about what he's done in your life.
How about someone or to 17 and 18 it says he shall regard meaning God will regard the prayer of the destitute, and shall not despise their prayer. This will be written for the generation the comments is to be written for the generation to come that the people yet to be created may praise the Lord now, when when you do this. Here's some of the things that you may you may be enacting what it says in acts 18 white because you can receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you shall be a witness right and that's what happens when you share your testimony and think about what a comfort that would be to your family and your friends. Okay. How comforting would it be right now to have every one of your children's testimonies in your hand and know well yeah they are in fact really saved or to have your parents or grandparents testimony will guess what your testimony in their hands. I'm, you know, I'm open all you know be there at your funeral or but but just think how comforting that would be for your family to actually have your testimony in hand in case anything were to happen to you.
You have other members of your family.
Families testimony in hand, but number four course are these amazing prizes because we do have thousands of dollars of prizes available there drawings were not writing anybody's test here.
They're simply going to be drawings and there's not drawings of first to be on July 28 and for they are they are for Pilgrim tours your Bible study will come alive as you walk where Jesus or his apostles walked or you know you could get one of these prices to lump on if you yourself didn't take the tour there's thousands of dollars and in vouchers to go on those tours, then we have energized retreat that working to draw two of their past retreats.
You could bless your pastor because your testimony one energized retreat. Guess what your pastor gets to go on one of these reenergizing events with any Bowersox energized ministries. And guess what, there's more.
We have we have two drawings for a dangerous heart boot camp or Goodhart retreat for women, so the ones for many others.
For women it's a weekend retreat or boot camp in the mountains of North Carolina, to help discover God's unique design for your life.
So write out your testimony and submitted it Christian card. I.com submit send email to your parents and your grandparents get theirs and remind them. Don't wait this this will really have eternal consequences.
