The funeral dirt kind of thing. Well if you read and in Jeremiah 34 it reads, and this has to do with God putting judgment on Zedekiah and he said the princes of Judah and the princes of Jerusalem, the UNIX, the priests, all of the people of the land who passed between the parts of the calf. I will give them into the hands of their enemies and into the hands of those who seek their lives, their dead bodies shall be meat for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth and sky like if you think about that is, like old red is going to be meat for the Bob's crusher.

Originally it had hundred 29 it when I got it I got it to the family and had about 20 pucks around the building and the independent that was the daughter who is playing the next day noted, make the perfect dog that that include taxes, red duration, and I gave her my credit, and then I took the money out of my account. The following Italian money on that and there was no happening back in your you know like they do. So it's a 1999, 1990 wagon. I remember the court station wagon so it's only two years younger. What we can find out more about your secret Wendy's you staying with us throughout the break and find out more is that this is grandma named following and help you now that we got so much more. Christian Car Guy show coming up 866-34-TRUTH 87884 should be curtains for old red are you got a name that noise I was rolled down old red is down 388,000 miles do we do something about this had a chronic, graphic, or do we send it off to one of nine you pull it crusher and whatever is maiming remaining. We had Wendy on the line. When we left, and when he said we need to 90 yeah I know you do. Wendy said we we we need to consider keeping her because her Honda has 400 how many 467 so you got me beat by over 80,000 miles in two years. New York might repair shop that I be going to I it what you have that amount yet because we drive long yeah well I want to give you an opportunity Wendy because I II let somebody down the other day and I want to help them out so I'm hoping that listing today. We have a little feature on the Christian Car Guy show.

Sometimes I diverted before we can help you name your card as we have our name generator and so I can ask you a few questions in this car name generator actually puts it into the computer and and will help you out. When considering a name because when you had a car for 460,000 miles. I mean you become close with it. I would imagine right and so what happened the other day as I did. I did this on the air in the 10th anniversary show and we were supposed to get the email address of the person that called in and somehow we misplaced it so I can send my birth certificate of their car with her new name on and which I have to very cool looking birth certificate that I will send out but since I have you on the line and you have such a special car. I want to send you one out myself on this as well.

So the first question in the name car generator car name generator is what color is your car silver oh and how settled not, but it is a 97 well. And I made the right there you go.

That keeps it from happening. We know it's a 97 so it's definitely over 10 years old. Yeah, I paid lots of money to get a paint job and we know that it's it's it's it's station wagon, so is would you consider your car a male or female.

Okay and then on its personality because that's one of the things it goes into your name. Car generator would you call you.

Would you call your car adventurous, mischievous, macho, probably not every think that I love adventurous. There's other words like sensible or grumpy or playful or happy or brainy attention seeker unpredictable. So you're going with adventurous I could take anywhere. Alright, so normally when I play this. I have some very cool computer music that would play but we did and we aren't completely ready so I'm just gonna put this in the name car generator normally adhere something like an and you go the car name generator is has decided for you that your car's name is Dora circuits are like Dora the Explorer adventurous you know it's there you go so you know you and I will be sending out a putsch I'm holding in our produce to get your email address and I will email you your car's birth certificate.

Is that okay great thank you so much for going in Wendy, God bless. Alright let's say you 866-34-TRUTH 87884. What do you think we should do about old red or maybe want to try name that noise like airplane or did she called in during the break. She didn't want to go anywhere. She thought that perhaps the car had run out of gas, and since nobody's ever lost a name that noise I would say that it's possible that part of the reason that what happened happened was because it ran out of gas.

I don't know. I do know what actually happened to it that made it make that noise is working to give Carol the prize but also we got another prize for you if you want to call in and tells what actually that noise was.

Yes, the engine stopped, but not because it ran out of gas.

866-34-TRUTH 878-848-6634 truth well. We talked about this. My insurance does what we know about my card is what we got a little test for you on that too. If you can name all these letters that build it horribly on, by the way, when, but when it comes to my insurance does what I'm thinking Bill got me when lights come on in my car. I googled the answer but I usually do that after I've taken it to the shop and had some interesting calls this past weekend I was thinking that there are many Uber drivers out there that will find shocking that their standard regular everyday auto insurance doesn't do anything for them when they transport people and get paid for doing it. There many people who go out and they rent a large truck or they really camper and their shot. Slow down so if somebody signs up for and they're gonna drive from New Bern make income for Uber. They need a different insurance policy consider normal pop insurance policy does not cover for higher kind of situation right normal auto insurance. If you are paid anything other than money for gas for carpool if you charge people the taken from point A to point B in almost all cases, the regular auto insurance. Turns off jet stay on and will not pay anything. Comprehensive collision or like this. I'm curious what to say in Uber driver does not know this goes out and picks up somebody and they get killed on this and now they're going to sue. Obviously the person that didn't have any insurance but when they find out there's no insurance can they go after Uber will what my wife works in the legal field is a good lawyer will sue everybody they can think of, including the next-door neighbor, the person involved said anybody can be sued, but the owner of the vehicle is definitely responsible.

The driver of the vehicle has some responsibility and then, in general, employees are held at a level so that their employer can be but Uber. They are treated is subcontractor, so it's a lot harder to get past that and get back to shoot it in case I Maran my insurance car insurance is one.

What about 866-34-TRUTH 878841 about old red got so much more. What actually happened already working to bring him back just say that now that I got some jangling that no man wouldn't trade anything in does not mean you see here now so on. Do we hold onto old red that is one of the questions click hectic day of the Christian car guys show 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH or suggestion in what the world having Robbie old red is my 1995 Dodge Dakota has 388,060 to be exact miles on it as we speak. It had a catastrophic engine failure that mileage essentially what happened and I had had a chance to get into this, but I will explain it now is it about January I noticed that it started to overheat a little bit so I got there and check it in.

Sure enough it's low on coolant so I had coolant in the next morning, just to be safe because I've been down this road before with old red. I check it again and it's again low on coolant and so I start looking for leaks. All the things that you would do and I'm not finding any leaks and I start looking at the exhaust notice there's an exorbitant amount of steam: this can't be good.

This would indicate that the head gasket may be seeping coolant into the combustion chamber and actually that causes the engine to burn off the water in the colon, so to speak well. This would have been the second head gasket on that engine and thinking that this is probably not going to be a good idea to put 1/3 head gasket on the same engine because you know it's just a matter time before this began I decided to see how far I could go and I I got to the point where is actually put into gallons of coolant per tank, aghast as I was burning off that much of it, but it wasn't so bad that it was going to cause the engine to fail and tell on last Monday night I was supposed to go to court me to this event was going on out there and I go out I get my car and it almost didn't start and I felt it go blue like that and is going down the road. I'm watching the oil pressure actually increase seen a lot of things but I've never seen an increase of all pressure meddled a car that wasn't something really bad and so I'm like this is good when I get to Courtney pull out the dipstick and oil is gone. Clear up the dipstick because it is actually now being full with antifreeze. It looks like a milkshake and there's a wonderful picture I took. By the way the Christian car guy.com if they call it milk. Shaking the motor oil, which means that the head gasket is in the like so much water into the combustion chamber that it mixes with the oil, which means that there is no longer good protection and you can spin a bearing and actually season engine that's what can happen in rather than being on the side of road dad.

I decided this point time we are going to have to make a decision. Do we fix old red by getting another engine or do we scrap remember Fred Flintstone. You could just cut a section out underneath where you have a you and I that's what you're thinking. I would love your view 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH. So as we mentioned the beginning of shall we have this website we have links to a Christian car guy.com that the safety Council did which is really cool is called my car does what and so to give you an idea of some of things that you can learn at that website I was going to give you a little test here again if you feel I called and you're welcome to. You can call instill a name that noise or you can call in with your view on old red 866-34-TRUTH 87884.

But here's some questions if you can answer any of these, in which, by the way Bill was.

He was five for five long.

I thought I Fell I got sent Jimmy points for one another. He did get some giving points for one of what does ES ES C-SPAN for ESC if you saw a light come on in your – and it said ESC. What would that mean or how about a light coming on in your – that said, a B AEB North Allen means these are some of the newer things that you find in the newer cars you would not find it a little red that said this part of my problem. But if you had 2015 2016. You likely would see a light that came on that said FC W. I.

What in the world is FC II got FC W. My card is what you see the need for the website. A lot of people don't understand these things. There is also a light that would come on, that would say ACC which is a basketball see it there you go, your car belongs in March madness and what's the madness going out of the ACC light. I bet you're wondering what those mean well the good news is that if you go to Christian car guy.com you can click on the link to my car does what and then they have this wonderful blog and the length of the article I'm taking from is breaking down the dashboard.

Safety safety tech lingo, what the world of these things mean so we gave Bill some credit because he did when we said AEB. He said that's got some to do the brakes and he was right that is automatic emergency breaking. I should get points for the basketball initiative because it was good but AEB you know we've had a course of analog breaks for eight you know analog braking systems. For a long time, but this is not a lot breaking since this is not ABS which you would see may be a slight even on old red. This is AEB which is automatic emergency breaking in this is a new way that your car will actually when it understands that there something that might be hitting it, it can actually break your it will actually turn on the brakes and and stop your car. It's automatic emergency breaking or no frontal warning sensors tell this thing to break your car so you see something that says AEB on your – and you're driving your car. That's what what you hear cannot hang on to your coming to a stop along with that is that MCW I told you about. There is now something called forward collision warning this in small print on the airbag right. The airbag is now in your faces. There is FC W FC W forward collision warning warning will Robinson you are fixed it something you might want to grab on to some thereto enough to give new warnings these days, that's good. You know you have ESC Achilles on the vent that is been around for a good long while ESC is electronic stability control and it's really a wonderful thing and I had the six when Chrysler came out with it on the 300 M in several of the cars even the new Chargers no effect. Most cars today have ESC and what that does. It actually uses the brakes to make sure that the car doesn't spin in any situation. So even we went out there with a racecar driver on the Charlotte motor Speedway and heat. They put soap on the track. They turn the wheel all the way to the right on this 300 with a ME and try to get the car to spin it when spin.

The reason why when spin is because it had electronic stability control whenever the car began to spin it put break them up in the right position so that the vehicle and spends electronic stability control in the driving in the back means that you're you've got all kinds of interesting to get things going on. The last thing we have not talked about yet is ACC which is March madness is called adaptive cruise control and forts have this for some time. A lot of vehicles have it now and what that is doing is actually it knows when there's a car that's in front of you.

So it slows down the cruise control so you don't just go slamming into something for you. It senses the car ahead of you and it slows down your first component of the cargoes back up to speed. It takes you back at least a call that a backseat driver like that adaptive cruise control. But getting back to my insurance does what Bill what was what's up with some of the will. There are some extras that can be put on a card that a lot of car insurance folks didn't know about anything that was added to the car after it left the factory.

In most cases is excluded.

So you've got running boards are special lights or handicap equipment or tow package, you can ensure those things for very nominal amount of money, but you've got to have it listed on the policy. There are other things that you can add. You can add coverage for towing and labor, which most people. It was understand, but a lot of folks that note that they'll pay for somebody to come out and open the car for you) roadside assistance to pay somebody to commit help start the car instead of telling that to family member.

Yet Hassan sums circumstances bring you gas in some circumstances, if it's cheaper for him to do that than it is to tell you. EN was the original concept so there lots of bells and whistles that can be added in there. Lots of things that are covered by a policy to good thing to have somebody to sit down with essay. Let's look at the options. What is not covered by this policy and what should I spend a couple dollars for to add one thing that a lot of people don't have that should consider adding is if you go rent a car and you wrecked the car while it's attic commission and the people you rented from cannot derive any income because it's out of use. They can come back to you and say you owe us for that loss rental for a dollar you can aid coverage and cover something that could cost you thousands of dollars all sorts of interest. My insurance does what my card is what we got so much more we can find out about the 10 Commandments and what incentive do it. Old red and the birds picking if bones we felt so much for coming up dated and were on one wonderful and I love that song because so much of what they're talking about being honest with anything. Robbie, are you a car salesman talk about being honest. Yes, I sort of an oxymoron but nonetheless if we can be honest with God is really where the kind of the rubber meets the road on so much stuff and got have that lesson plan for me on just a number of issues this week that had to do with old red making its last run to Courtney church in the in the in the oil pressure rising, and I can see that it was near the end of the line and interestingly I never said it never ceases to amaze me how God has me on the lesson plan three shows me for five things in a row that you could say there's no way in the world that that's a coincidence or Wednesday morning I started out reading this passage in Jeremiah 34 than a road earlier we talked about him in the back story to it is is really been district dissing God for a long long time. They had not followed his commandments and that look like they were going to go into captivity and Nebuchadnezzar had surrounded Jerusalem and I was not all that clear on this little episode that happened but it look like all was lost for them when Zedekiah came up with this idea that if we turn our safe slaves loose like we're supposed to according to you know the year of Jubilee that maybe God would relent and and he got all the princes of Judah to actually do a covenant kind of thing you know like Abraham did, where they split a calf and they walk between talk about being honest and so they split a calf in the princes of Judah and Zedekiah walk between his calf and said they're gonna release all their slaves and they did and when they did, miraculously, or not have your look this you know God's hand in this. The Egyptians started to revolt against Nebuchadnezzar and Nebuchadnezzar withdrew from around Jerusalem and so there all the sudden Nebuchadnezzar's.

The siege lifted and things look like it but things are gonna be great when here's where the struggle happened in a business started to be good again why we need our slaves back.

So what are they going to. You might've guessed they went and enslaved their slaves again and when they did that they were breaking a covenant they were not. They were breaking a covenant that they made the God to the point that they walk between the calf in your showing that this was a real confident and so God's response to that was very peculiar. He said I will give them in the hands of their enemies and into the hands of those who seek their life, their dead bodies will be meat for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth that taught if you might remember is what Goliath said to David, to feed your eye birds a year car seat. You know you're coming to me like a dog with sticks. David turned around and said no the life you got this wrong, to feed you and if you think about it. That is what happened.

Now interestingly I'm reading this and I'm thinking about it in this roll around in Robbie's mind and then I go read William kernels the full armor of God, and he is talking about holiness and he says that when were put in on the breastplate of righteousness.

One of the things we gotta do is think about the Decalogue, which remains the 10 Commandments and how it because you love God on those first five tablets and because of the love that you have for God like the love you have for Christ. You then reflect that on the second tablet which is love for your neighbor and the thing that really challenged me was, he said, you are responsible for your neighbor's reputation.

He was taking that thou shalt not bear false witness, and said, wow, what would it mean if you felt if you bear a great witness for your neighbor and boy, I may not challenge me because I realize how many times am I talking back. The opposite of that is to talk good about 70 to find God's glory in somebody and to bring them to highlight you see when you do, and that you're keeping the other half of the 10 Commandments while you may know that I do a devotion to a nursing home in Marksville on Thursdays and so I was right after that.

Preparing for this devotion and again in God's lesson plan I start reading about this lady from Chicago in the 1860s who met all these men's needs and now she was that she died at like 45 but when they buried her. They gave for the sacred looking place they put a stone chair. There they regularly went there and worship God for what this lady had done in their lives to bring them into their homes to bring them into Chicago to give them stuff to eat. In other words, she had kept the other five commandments and she kept it really well when you think about it.

If you turn the other five commandments around take shall not murder well then, how do you give life will how you give life as you introduce to Jesus Christ write you unity somebody to where life comes from this lady had done that.

Now look what they did with her. They have her in a very special place in the cemetery were all these people come that they have this wonderful monument sure they did compare that to these people that were dishonest with their slaves. You see, if we enslaved people with our attitudes and our neighbors and our families and we do the opposite of 10 May we do what we then guess what you end up being your flesh will be food for the birds of the air and the beast to feel nobody's going to be at your funeral. There's not banning on God doesn't because it's the way things work, but it isn't what God wanted for the Israelites that their bodies would be there, but just think about it if they had taken care of their slaves like they should have if they should've been there neighbors if they would've encouraged their slaves would never have let their bodies lay there on the side of road for the birds eat their slaves and made sure that they were buried correctly and treated correctly so the judgment was from God. But in the way. It's from all the people that are around us and how will we be remembered based on what organa do and so to turn all this back to old red which is where I was going. How in the world could I let old red be food for the birds of the air base, the fifth. How can I let it go to the crusher.

It never not this truck that is been loyal to me. For all these years and got me here and there take my kids to school and all I can I do that I couldn't no no no, but as we say on the show all the time. Bill with many plant counselors plan succeed. Just like with insurance and so you went with the qualification lady did not go the coffee table idea here in rare form today. I because I know Bobbitt 109 rather than going with the crusher so Bob can you find me the UN's used engine. Yes, he found the one with the hundred and 71,000 miles on it because Jerry Mathis you garb Christian body shop guy also has a wrecker service. Jerry, can you tell my car I called driving… Who is are one of our Jesus labor love guys and in Greensboro who I would dearly love and trust completely with old red and and asking what kind of deal he could make me up and so I have all these people. Why do I because you know these guys are all part of this ministry and God's being able to work through all them and all of us and with many counselors. In other words, if you're out there trying to take care of your neighbor you inherently have all these connections you inherently have always people you work with all the time in order to help other people when you need help. Guess what, and I needed an old red needed help this week and all these people were in a position to make sure that old red was not food for the birds of the air and base feels old red is is in loving hands at all understand how much that truck means to me and so bill mentioned earlier what we can do. How can we call it old red because you know it's gonna be and so it could be born again red you know if you actually put the engine in it.

What you think I'm ready. So were having fun on the Christian card.

I showed you think it's any coincidence that God puts us on a lesson plan risk and shows this this week this week that we and and and he just shown us all on, how it is that we can end up you know really being with him and in union with him and what he's got sort of. Thank you for was a Christian card I show Remus imperfect you know with many counselors plan succeed. Bill makes in all our experts are the expert page of Christian car guy.com as well as our new Christian card I salespeople registry go there and find out about that. Remember to slow down. Jesus walked everywhere he went and got it all done in 33 years this week.

Think about the 10 Commandments may be in a new way. How can I turn them on their head and say I really be an absolutely great witness for my neighbor what with that active Philistines?
