Welcome to the Christian Car Guy radio show. The cop show dedicated to helping Christians binds all cars by the book. Nothing will book knobby orange book, but by God's book, the Bible called the Christie car guy with your questions. 1866 34 truth. That's one 866-34-TRUTH 7884.

What does being a Christian have to do with buying a car you're about to find out is your host Robbie Gilmore.

The question today on the Christian Car Guy show is you ready for this, who is the best carmaker now you think makes the best car that's the question we are wanting you to call in. I am doing a survey are really trying to see what what your thoughts are 866-34-TRUTH 87884 is a number to call in and share and of course I went on Facebook which that's Robbie Gilmore on Facebook if you want to be my friend reflected is the with his and David. A lot of people think it's Gilmore, but it's actually Gilmore and on twitter. It's at Christian Car Guy, but I did a survey there and got 43 votes, which was pretty impressive… Lot of people had a vote in. I was shocked at the results. I would never have guessed that the list would be thus but here it is on that very unofficial survey. So be think about you know what your car is so you can call and get your focus work Italian today Morgan a no go of the Christian Car Guy listeners what they think is the number one car but Ford came away the winter nine votes out of the 43 so they got 21% of the vote since it's almost like a primary you know so we can find out later on the on the show, you know, the people call in today and 866-34-TRUTH 7884. What is the best car number two. Toyota got seven votes they got 16% of so that wasn't terribly unsurprising, Ford and Toyota in the first two slots number three kinda got me but nonetheless I think it's great, BMW NW got six votes, 14% of the vote. So apparently they like German cars because number four, which also surprised me VW Porsche, Audi. They have five votes, 11% of and then number five sort of sad for those of us whose father worked for Jeff with only three votes.

GM got got there, there are few in but you know what you're thinking right now Robbie Ike I I'm telling you what the best car is 866-34-TRUTH 87884 coming in number six and this was a shocker. I would've never guessed that that they would fall this far down in the standings was Honda and Mercedes tied just to votes. Honda were talking Honda and Mercedes only to votes is the best car that just totally shocked me and tying for the number seven spot were a number of cars which deftly tickled me so it's it's it's something to think that Mattel is a personal favorite. That's the that's a hot wheels cars.

A great cars to if you're hot wheels for some assembly vote for Mattel got as many votes as Rambler is Nissan's Chrysler Fiat is Subaru and Volvo Rambler Rambler Rambler while so if you want to call in today again 866-34-TRUTH 87884. Would love to hear from you. It could be a car that's no longer in existence, like a Rambler or Pontiac or a Hudson maybe thought was a Hudson Horner Packard is a Pontiac General Motors. It is General Motors, but they are no more than a zonked nor is plaintiff's will. Sad sad but in that marvelous how diverse 43 people can be in the question. Of course I ask is very, very broad.

I didn't ask what's the most reliable or what's most stylish were the safest or what's the most value for the money. I just ask what's the best car and so I ask you 866-34-TRUTH 87884. Don't let your favorite go down to the feet. I promise I'll add your vote to the total and will see who wins by the end of the show 866-34-TRUTH 87884 or for visually gifted 866-34-TRUTH.

The thing I love about this.

Joey and Joe is my producer today a long time. You get you get third string today, but you're my producer way back in the day. Many a so you know, to a car salesman like me the best car was the ones that sell the best and I bet you're wondering Robbie of all those years almost 40 years selling cars which car so the best way you might be surprised that one of the best-selling cars ever was the Suzuki samurai. I was the general manager of marketing and Suzuki in Atlanta and we never in the time I was there ever had a Suzuki samurai arrived, it was not presold.

We would presell the whole truckload before the cars ever got the hottest things every people found out that they rolled over at that point, they'd quit selling so well that you know is if your car salesman and yours on samurais back in the 70s or 80s and determine what was it was awesome. We had about command generated an ongoing had a week they'd only gone there with. He's been a Ford guy for years. He votes forward all well. So there up to 10. They are really even let you know Ford is backwards at you driver return on foot 866-34-TRUTH 87884. But actually the best-selling car ever for me and and thus are deftly on my list of favorite cars was the PT cruiser. We literally had people waiting a year to get the PT cruiser they are on a waiting list so long. When that car first came out it was phenomenally fun, not really in demand more so that I work for Honda back the day I work for a lot of different manufacturers. They came out some really cool cars the GSX the Buicks the T types. I've sold all those and the other is not a demand for a lot of things even Vipers at one time in prowler's but there was nothing like the PT cruiser got another outcome and don't telling what was this is a particular vehicle, not just a brand 1947 Willis Jeep very what we have a very specific it's a great Jeep. Yes the willies.

We did a whole episode of Christian Car Guy theater on that car.

So, all right then. So but interestingly to somebody like Bob the junkyard guy. His favorite cars, one that weighs the most he calls him bobsled like that old suburban or that you know Chrysler New Yorker 1969. The sin that we are that thing ways you know 5000 pounds 6000 pounds and so you know that's what they think so. We need you to call us today 866-34-TRUTH 87884 and in that vein, we have a very special name that noise today and what you think. Joey, let's play some time to play to find my defense that roller race that I like that hubbub name that is all that yes we have a very cool name that noise and it specific, but will go with whatever you think 866-34-TRUTH 87884 if you can name this noise is not a name that noise and if you can. Joey don't want to win, but is in place. Here you will win a copy of the last words of Jesus book by Stu Epperson Junior while I was getting a vote on the line so you know we always think of government on their car but I told him you're going to get in just a second, but so you need to name that noise call ended. 866-34-TRUTH 87884 and for very special Robbie bonus gift. If you can tell me what particular car. It was that was making not only what that noise was. But what kind of car it was that was making it while I got some special for you. I've been holding over that I will let you know when you call 866-34-TRUTH 87884, then coming up industry owner plays appraisal by the real black book. That's where we search the Bible for hidden treasure. Cry out for discernment, lift up our voice for understanding you the last week. The question I asked him we had some wonderful calls was is it to send the speed and we had some amazing answers throughout the show, and I certainly enjoyed that and then I got an email from my first caller last week and those were listening might remember Bob Jones had an amazing answer to is it is in the speed and I shared with him that I thought he had obviously spent a lot of time thinking about and when he shared his Bible insight that he gave me in this particular this particular email. I honestly was a little overwhelmed by it and I kept reading and I read and I marinated on it for little while and sometimes if you notice that God has you in a lesson plan for the week. Well, apparently it was part of God's lesson plan for me this week. Bobbitt shared an insight on the parable of the mustard seed and that particular insight. I really never considered or never considered that part of the parable and then to mornings later. William Grant Colonels and Christian and complete our motion reading that and he shared an insight about what the parable of the mustard seed and again it was a it was an insight that I'd never considered an and as I was sitting there thinking about wow how neat is it that Bob had this inside of the parable of mustard seed and and and William Col. had that insight. I remembered my producer. He had a marvelous insight on the parable of mustard seed. Once he shared with me. This is all me. You know there's just all this amazing diversity and then the show I'll share all those parables plus some other insights that I got from that by God's lesson plan this week is coming up in the show. We got so I got colors lined up from Utah and High Point and all over the place. What's your favorite what is the best carmaker of all time.

What you think. What's your votes, we are asking that question today on the Christian Car Guy show. I would love to hear from you. 866-34-TRUTH 87884. Gotta real interesting challenge on the Jesus labor love, share with you here in a moment to request that we got this week and of course we have an amazing appraisal by the real black book, but I love playing name that noise and we have all sorts of people that are Wanda join in on that MSI doom in order.

I believe that actually it was Orlando and High Point that was the first to answer him but I want everybody to stay on because I'm interested in what you think your favorite cars hand just got Orlando is in High Point Orlando not in Orlando you're in High Point or North Carolina good morning good morning what what did you think that noise might be. I think annoyed with daughter, meet where you are absolutely correct in that part of the equation. Now would you venture a guess on the what kind of car that was think it would.

It was a full forward well you know that you you're exactly right from one standpoint, that that was the starter and maybe there was a Ford in the background somewhere that was also working on it but that part of it.

We got right. God bless you Linda what's your favorite color card or my first car with man fortis really did not there now. Ford's got 11 of the votes. That's amazing. Thank you Linda God bless you. Appreciate Conan today.

Thank all right number two I believe was John in Utah and let's see here John you're on the Christian we lost John and then we had the least Denise in Midlothian, Virginia Denise, you're on the Christian Car Guy show them on what what what did you think that noise was like yes I think most motorists of enjoyed that noise at one time or another words just didn't seem to get the job done, but digit would you like to venture a guess on what kind of car that was my file Camaro hello well that would be a Chevy and again it may or may have been a Chevy way in the background somewhere. I was not aware of that was the term trying to start working to save that you write. However, there still is another answer and what is your favorite car. Denise right now. The 19th now there's a price of vote price and I was really pretty sad about that situation that they were formally down and but will take that in what kind of Jeep you have a wrangler manual log.net car and see your daughter has a CG, and that what he knew the doing in years nine point get out, and JK yeah those are your he's exactly right. And those are both Chrysler Jeep. There's a man I called and that was actually now our third vote, but since Willy's is no longer about it for a 1947 Willy's Jeep and so how cool is that. Thank you for calling in the Denise I really appreciate it. God bless you by where we have but see we have David is in Seattle still hanging on. We hope David you are on the Christian yard. I show them on. I'm so glad you called.

And you got up early this morning or need to have Christian radio to get fed so often things I never thought of that, I get to hear and Christian right am so grateful for what David what did you think that noise was actually not there. Your electricity problem.

But it all died so Chrysler starters they had that particular sedan, but I do have a very amazing book collection that I have kept over from all the authors that I get on my other shows Simon to send that out to you. I know Jerry got your information but I'm so grateful yeah those those old Chryslers had a different kind of stuff hundred noise that only they had and actually why the right God and God is God right. The Lord is God that he does and that is really that's that makes the answer even that much better. It was a Dodge and actually the car was flooded was the reason that it wasn't starting and and and it wouldn't be unusual for Dodge to do that.

What are you old that's about in the check not working right cousins were corroborated this all right blame it on the pitch back and hopefully get your information God bless you, thank you for calling in today. We've got some favorite carveouts, and we've got Mount man Mo in Walnut Cove, Mo, you're on the Christian Car Guy show tomorrow morning.

Once you walk her down and for low that things would go in the nice thing about them.

You know that they had a lot of torque at a very low RPM because the four-cylinder engine in their really narrow so they made their way around Mountain Ridge real well with bigger cars and trucks struggle right now lived in Georgia and the bad thing was had high speed so I'll be traveling down a mile an hour Mo we got to go to a break. We need your vote. 866-34-TRUTH 87884. What's your favorite car.

I've got a labor love story this year right after we come back Leslie in Richmond, Bethune Summit and I could never come in until I am sorry just too many good memories there with the Pontiac that we are asking the were asking the question today.

What is your favorite car and I promise God had a spiritualism along these lines for me this week that a minister coming up at the end of the show.

Nationwide hundreds of different vehicle and I now there's a new vote.

That's a neat car driving a car could be fine and drive. But I numbering to cry would be anything that were inserted and ran all my truck would fit that category.

If the public that that's a great way to go and what a neat thing that these files beast B's car sharing services are way to really stretch resources for a lot of folks, and that's working out well for you, your family, you know what you know, we can take out a box somewhere and pick up the car and we never have to clean them never have to answer them.

We never have to repair them and we have to hide it in them. Click afternoon, so we just paid by the hour. We can rent truck all week in advance to take people from church to that normally can't get there and I would love to really would love to find out more about that if you could go to my website which is Christian Car Guy.com and email me where you do that, because I would love to do a show on that whole thing III I've read about it, but I'm not familiar with it and I would really like to because it really sounds like an amazing program so lightly line.

My new competitor. It only only a little tiny smart card we don't articulate that they don't need that that's available.

So I will deftly go online and I would love that.

I really would consent.

I would love to find more about that.

That is great so much. You blessed me today would appreciate you calling everyone in America pray pray that around the world. Yes we do need to do that Bless you, thank you list bye-bye now how fun I get to learn stuff and that's one of the joys of this job is seeing how creative people get to be on all sorts of things, but we have an opportunity for other people.

Now to call and tell us your favorite car.

We got a vote for another mini Cooper now 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH for the visually gifted in general, you got a story you gotta tell about a samurai yes it's kind of funny my dad. I wasn't part of it, but my dad told me about it. My brother, which was his vehicle oldest brother was his vehicle at the time he had to have work on it or something will heat he was going to college in Knoxville, Tennessee's 4 Hour Dr. anyways. I can't remember why, but my dad and my grandmother when he was backfiring the recycle anyways coming through the mountains with that little cover on it. He started to come loose their might mention the you know the enemy is what they call this she was the glory of the mountains of North Carolina and the thing feels like it's these illegal between two trucks. It feels like it's distinctly remember riding to school in those in the morning. First of all, is cold. You get a breeze that whole thing discounted they were and why they didn't really have either no know they were unique but but the picture in my head is is just hilarious at home. The roof on the top of the family will have for you, at least for now. Well, I wanted to share those with the charade. We know we have a ministry to single moms and widows called the Jesus labor of love, which is car repair labor usually only a single moms, widows, or families in crisis of what we have is that a wonderful group of folks that you can find a Christian Car Guy.com that he volunteered to do the labor on these cars at different locations in the places in the cities that carry our show and sometimes in cities that don't carry our show, but Lawrence just provided us with the boat folks to fix cars in the neat well this time a year we normally get some just difficult situations and I wanted to share one with you because it doesn't, you know, just providing labor.

In this case doesn't meet the need. And so this lady called Abingdon call she sent me an application and she said I'm a single mom, my daughter's father passed last December in our home.

I cared for him until his death. I recently returned to work and working part-time between my pay and my daughter Social Security were just making it from pay debate payday to payday. I can afford repairs to my vehicles. Vehicle initiative has one vehicle and without it I will be unemployed.

My alternator needs to be replaced and the vehicle is running on the battery only I can only drive it during daylight hours is using the headlights drain the battery to quickly and I read that my heart just cannot, broken it said will we have lots of needs like that and she has a 1998 caravan that she needs an alternator pharmacy since we provide the labor and we do have somebody willing to do the labor but we need donations in order to cover the parts. However that may work so if the Lord is put that on your heart, and prayerfully, by all means ask him if that's something that you want to contribute to.

Specifically, this one are just other needs that we have this time year.

You can send a check to the Jesus labor. Love this.

Actually the name of the ministry. The Jesus labor of love. It's at 238 Sorrow Ln. essay. You are a Lane in Winston-Salem, NC 27107 or you can simply go to Christian Car Guy.com and there that you can click on it and you can use PayPal or credit card whenever if you want to donate but again it's the Jesus labor of love 238 sorrow as a you are a Lane, Winston-Salem 27107 and I would also say wow if you're thinking Robbie wears a great place to get my car fixed in this town. If you go to that Christian car center you can see these people that we have listed on our website are people that have been volunteered to do the Jesus labor laws and if there want to help out those folks.

You can kinda think that they are the least very sincere in trying to help people repair their car so it's always a blessing again to be part of that ministry.

So getting onto our favorite car survey, we have Hank's and I let God's country and so Hank, tell me your thoughts are GM guy I bet they never come up with 3800 feet or no longer in production and that that's just enough to make you want to cry. Consent was such a workings for General Motors for seminars and you know that even sold that engine into the jeeps and that in the 60s. They used it in the.

The old wranglers and they had him in some of the Jeep charities back in the day at work really well get great mileage. You know what that song go to the next one that we got a 3800 and you know to fiberglass today are made when I like get insistently mid 30s all the time.

At about little better than speed limit of the thing that and that we gotta.

They mentioned in our 01 Park Ave., big heavy rate is like driving… I and that all cars very consistent 30 virtually no maintenance. I know they had that intake manifold problem three simple fix… A flawless bullet prevention I say anything based on the 283 all the way up. Why did they change that is strictly because the they want people replacing their car they just don't have no one day I would love to sit down with somebody at GM and Chrysler in several places conceits from had their only had bulletproof engines once it were just tried-and-true death came through everything the time. Remember the slant six.

The Chrysler had hollow engine Jeep had in-line six cylinder that they used for years and years and years as a 250 and all those engines aren't there today and you know the issue. Unfortunately, and in most cases, ending certainly the case with those three.

It had to do with what they considered inappropriate and not enough fuel economy, and so I meant to make you want to cry. Well, I got a mechanic and now know I could catch out that we got to go to. Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and still got time. You still have time because with your car, 866-348-7884. Amazing. Everyone on earth believe that's no time to come that way. In Revelation, so I can't help but enjoy the thought about it and really looking forward to it as I know all believers are working to get to that, I will bit more in our appraisal by the real black book. But we still have time and we got we have the surveys open on one is your favorite car of all time, or what would you think is the favorite your car manufacturers at fortis at Chrysler's Chevy you know Joey, i.e. we have not heard your vote and so I'm anxious to know.

Although I remind you all that I think we discussed a little bit before the broadcast.

Although with the whole bailout thing. I probably would still have to vote General Motors because my first vehicle was it was a 1986 Oldsmobile Calais hello beautiful yeah fasting is also on the car. I sold and Oldsmobile that one of the better cards I have for well you get to get dinged up a couple times get broken into unit what not. But, 1993 Chevy Cavalier. I remember their ability those Rossmoor thank you Joey, we still have time for your call got; it 866-34-TRUTH 87884 but it a lot of people may wonder how Robbie you been doing this for almost 10 years now you come up with a topic every week. This appears to be a little bit different or sometimes we do things that God puts on her heart, but it's it's it's always that God has a lesson plan for me in in that.

I guess because of all the years my car business.

I can see it from a car business standpoint what it is that he's been trying to teach me this week and as I mentioned, this particular week, he was teaching me about diversity of ways that people see theology and I had last week show I had asked the question as it is in the speed and Bob Jones who was my first caller shared wonderful insight on that and then he sent me this email which was very, very, very deep and and had me just marinating on that whole thought out and was on the parable of the mustard seed well. Two days later I'm reading the Christian farmer by William Col. and he's got an insight on the parable of the mustard seed and I was thing about that. I remember my producer Johnny Angel Joey's pretties the day but usually is Johnny Angel. He has this unbelievable insight on the parable of mustard seed. I started to think about the diversity of that now. Some of the things that Bob shared in his email was that and and I think this is really amazing that the mustard seed. Being that it's made of you know when it grows up, it becomes a tree in and that that tree is Christ and you know in an essence of shalom and whatever were looking to be completed, that would be Christ and at the end of his email. He said this, which I thought was fascinating. He said when used Bible study changes from being a disagreement about opinions to collaboration in solving the mystery, which is been hidden from the beginning beginning and I thought all now that's interesting that his view on the Bible when added to his idea of the of the mustard seed becoming a tree in the tree becoming Christ in those, things was an insight moment. William Col. shared that faith is small as a mustard seed removes a whole mountain into the sea is the question. How does that ever happened in a civil think about Sarah who had just a little bit of faith. She was laughing when they said that she was can have a baby that wasn't a gigantic amount of faith, but that little bit of faith. She ended up having a son Isaac who literally his seed change. The world became always different people, including Christ, which how much happened from her little faith and he said actually what you think about your own faith when it first started not remember my own faith is for started a small as a mustard seed removed mountain of sin off of my plate so to speak and cleanse me because of the point in time I believe I didn't have all the understanding of the Bible have now is just a little bitty tiny mustard seed and it has grown into the faith that God has given me in whatever God has given you, as it began as a little mustard seed. Wow, how large is that grown and what kind of a mess now been moved and the seat which was your sin that's wonderful inside it's beautiful, and the other insight that I told you about that that my producer Johnny Angel shared with me in the shared this with me a couple years at the mustard seed is the most difficult seed to ruin. You can freeze it, you can burn it, you can start away and dried out for years and years and years and if you plan it your still go get you a mustard plan and and he sat in wonder and contemplation and he loves that now you see as we look at these different insights on the mustard seed, you can see the beauty of each particular diversity you know this person sees it this way and this person sees it, but when you combine them you get this harmony sells it up a conference one time with Dr. Brown.

A lot of people know Dr. Brown that listens to the Truth Network in a Dr. Michael Brown line of parcel and somebody ask him because he was being attacked by John MacArthur is another somebodies on the truth broadcasting about his view on Holy Spirit, so to speak, and he said something I thought was profound. He said, would you look at all the denominations and things we share a commonality that we believed Christ died for our sins, he says not talk about Erica.

Dr. Brown's restaurant strong on his theology, but on the basics. If we are in agreement then let's look at it like this giant symphony and if I am the that the French horn section in on Dr. MacArthur is over there. You and the violins, it would be. There's no harmony.

If we don't have the violins to come in with the French horns and you need the piccolo and you need all those things and see when you take all those things and you get this beautiful view of God that you would have a somebody saw what they saw and and George McDonald put it this way, which was also remarkable to me. He said each denomination, each person's view of God is like a flower and that flower comes up out of if it comes out of good soil and it's been a well watered, then you end up with is unbelievably okay because what would be the bouquet if you got the rose and the baby's breath and you got all these different flowers and make someone well being the Christian car guy that I look at it that way. What would the world be if they were all Buicks. I mean it was Larry. We got we got. I have a willies cheap and and how about all Hudson ordered and in and in. You know how neat is it that there were Pontiac GTO's and there's just this tremendous diversity and I think God absolutely loves that and see what he doesn't like I know is when it when we decide that everybody else is wrong and I'm right now if it's error. It's one thing but see if I just decided I knew everything there was to know about the parable of the mustard seed. I missed out on Bob's inside of the missed out on Johnny's inside at a Mr. William Col. since unfortunately sometimes we shut ourselves off because of our pride. We think while I'm God's favorite. Obviously everybody else is wrong and see that's working to get discombobulated.

Now I know this wonderful story is about the church. The upside down prayer and this man was running away from the Communists in China and he fell into a hole and he was saved by a rope around his leg and then he started to pray to God while he was upside down and God answered him and got him out at all what he started the church of the upside down prayer. Everybody was hanging upside down approach playing out sounds funny but for him. He sincerely had an experience with God while he was upside down. Pray see if when you begin to think the only way you can do it is to hang upside down on the rope workouts are good for you so this week is were looking at the diversity I hated to get the Ed term he was going to tell me about his favorite car but if we think about all this favorite cars out there. Think about how wonderful it is that all your fellow brothers and in the Lord have wonderful insights to share if we will just listen if we will just go for that.

Thank you for listening Christian card I show today, by all means go to my website. Christian car guy.com Jesus labor love flow down Jesus walked everywhere he went and got another 33
