See Annex T. L. Eight are.

That's right, TXT L a R it means text lighter and more and more states of guppies license plates you may have seen them around but now the Iowa Department of Transportation is really and I mean really doing something about that. I was truly surprised at all was going on with the team driving in the Iowa Transportation Department and so coming up the second segment we got Mark Lowell with the Iowa Department of transportation. I gotta tell you, there's some stuff going on there. Jerry that you're going to be amazed and very cool stuff about this whole texting thing.

They were just don't think that's an issue in a problem, but I'm sure going alone. There certainly is an issue and a problem and there are some solutions and I'm so glad to see that, not Iowa. We got there, the second segment, but also in the third segment were rethinking the minimum driving age and we have our guest contributors laden West who wrote an article in Christian car guy.com very much worth the read Christian Car Guy.com and he did his homework he can join us in the third segment, but since it's the third Saturday of the month. We have our very own Christian body shop and record guy with us today. Jerry was raised by shop wrecker service so Jerry, we are out today. Here's the real deal. The real deal where out to determine the top 10 reasons that someone would need a tow truck and were taken a very informal survey.

We need to hear from you. So if you ever needed a tow truck. Especially if you have a really cool story with you you I love stories and you need to call us 866-34-TRUTH 878-848-6634 truth of the digitally gifted, why did you need a tow truck tell us the story and Jerry, there's a lot to this need in a tow truck stuff. I really need to talk about our native people don't don't realize when you need a tow truck. Most time you're in a crisis so you're not thinking straight and one things will talk about this morning is not necessarily put money in your pocket will talk about making we not take as much money out of your pocket because it can deftly get costly and there's a lot of things you can do that to save money and not have that dead bad effects of that that the post toad and one of things I learned myself this morning is that with some of these newer cars. If you just tried jumping them off yourself. You could be up against the real hassle you blow the hope computer system damning because the technology is changing every year almost. You know, just is hard even keep up with the some of the European cars jump in one half is something you don't want to do because of the new electronics and if you have a surgeon thereby have and you know I jump one off at the door open where's drawing a current can be devastating or even sparking one now with that external jump area instead of your your batteries in the in the back and you can get to it so they had little post up under the hood. If you start sparking a thing gave me a note naturally.

Some people try to make sure they get a good connection to move Annette tableland in your sparking it with us. Also sin in the search to their and you can do some extreme damage so working to be talking about a lot of those things may save you from that tow truck began were taken as informal survey. When did you need a tow truck and I put that up in Christian car data, only to find out that I'd left out. I put up but I guess to be the top 10 and Jerry said you left out number three huge Iowa Lord, and find out about that as we discover, why did you need to type a tow truck 866-34-TRUTH 87884 and then coming up at the end of the show in our appraisal by the real black professor. We search the Bible for hidden treasure crowd for discernment, lift up our voice for understanding, well, no dart, no doubt and no dart but no desktop no way out in the dark. No doubt in the dart when your car is hooked up to a tow truck. Your freedom is on the line so to speak on the hook. You just can't go or you could go or an timeframe that you had in mind. So similarly, as Christians, the picture of the new creation from Romans 517 is often described as a butterfly and that via Caterpillar to a cocoon, we become butterflies so that we have an amazing amount of freedom, we guess the question is, what will you do with your freedom right why are you still hooked up to the ground like a caterpillar and I don't know if you've ever seen. John Lynch has a God tube video is called true faith. And if you ever wanted to just get a good laugh. Plus, learn something ghostly.

John Lynch on the on God tube and in this he talked about the caterpillar and how we stand there and yell at the caterpillar love your butterfly while really use that were crawling around that you know your butterfly you can yell all you want to caterpillar you can't make it a butterfly. Interestingly God showed me a piece to this butterfly picture this week.

That really helped me to engage my freedom yes to let go.

The hooks that I have on the ground or to their work and fly and I get to assure that coming up into the show in our appraisal by the real black book. I am Robbie Gilmore, the Christian car guy, the Christian car guys show we hope is changing the way people look at their cars and need to be paid for no debt.

My mechanic did Nelly share actual knowledge can't be splitting right now.

Linda is in Salt Lake City this morning Linda you're on the Christian card I should get my morning I'm wonderful what have you got for us way out. I have a story about all the late 90s and early 2000.

I can't remember the exact year that my husband Frank and I were driving and all their passing peculiar Missouri we were on our way to get things right and I talked to the left kind of way out there that I can't tell her and I have been Frank said last night that Kelly ran into that tree and I looked, I know it's it's run and I think it's pushing the tree and didn't think anymore about my peripheral vision I saw something and turned to look and there is huge cottonwood tree flying towards the car and I was so panic stricken and could even scream. I was just looking thinking there's a tree falling on my car and literally this tree crashed into my little Saturn and kind and knocked her mirror often crush the windshield and may have been Just kept saying pullover pullover pullover. He would look at me because he was afraid my faith was gone when he saw how bad the windshield was and I just lit up off the gas. I couldn't really put on the great because I glass between my legs and all over and I knew it get cut if I tried to do anything as I gently let off the gas and bowed to stop and thankfully neither of us were hurt. At the condiment to storable and defining while one of the parts was when the demand from the operation came from the state. I get a professional looking car.

You know, I guess he was an inspector something and he came driving up to tell you okay are you okay with funny anything I've contacted the contractor or the minute and here come and discuss the contractor and he was just the sweetest looking most humble man giant guy with coveralls and everything in and he came up and I don't know why but something just kinda struck me funny and I said you you ran over my are you knocked over my plastic car you get my plastic car with the tree and he said yes ma'am him so he about that man and I said what you name he said Kenny beaver that really struck me like I think I don't know why even when it first. Okay got you got my attention. Why am I here and that whole trip. I mean, we had to call a tow truck in Corsi drove it up on their but the guy who came to driving upon the couldn't fit my car so I had to drive it up on the flatback flatbed and we ended up in the little town and ended up ministering to several people relating to restaurants with getting ready to leave her husband went and five kids for no good reason to just kinda bored and we minister to her about our marriage and how got it yielded and and recommended her to find a Christian counselor and she promised she would. The tow truck driver. His dad had committed suicide and he was on the verge of committing suicide felt like three different divine appointments) OFA's the time that was incredible, but this is this just brings a whole new meaning to leave it to beaver lately.

What a story, God bless you Linda, that is just out of this world cool.

I appreciate you Conan so very much this morning. That's just some amazing stuff in a jury working at that. That's a list that may be number 11 that made much, Linda. Have a great all right, what's your story 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH we got my kids in High Point, North Carolina Mike you're on the Christian card I show good morning Linda follow you a great Christian you'd be switching between you would run out of getting your diesel cleared and that vehicle Joyal and I will let axle seal and I walked the whole axle because Christian integrating robot. Yes, especially yes all means we love to shop, 40 on the south side got a Facebook page up and all automotive good Christian guy will take care of you just start now.

What his father while he was like a joyride about 1983 Mercedes which I'm currently driving. I think that one down the number 12. I am not on Facebook.

Thank you God bless you and appreciate my right well we know we got a lot of company in 866-34-TRUTH 87884 but right before the last break we talk about it is critical that you know if you're locked out of your car that you don't just take that in your own hands, either yelling now.

There's so many issues at me with side airbags electronics inside the door will talk with the lady looking at this you can do things. I think you have done it for years and years is thickening of some metal inside ago when you sort out a lot of stuff in the thousand dollars with the damage talk about that. We do have we do have a Iowa Department has patient been hanging on very patiently, but I had hear this record stuff when you get a story like Linda, we need years 866-34-TRUTH and the angel in the tow truck to make a pitch for this. This is quite a thing if you go to YouTube and watch this video. This young man lost his father was a tow truck driver and I will bet you, you'll shed a few tears when you hear the whole song, but the as I did this morning I found I was looking for tow trucks on the Sammamish things amazing lessor talk about when did you need a tow truck. One of the top 10 most needed reasons for which I missed out the battery jumped us right off the women I put my top 10 on Christian card. I.com but one of the big things that we do want to bring out about this Jerry is it you need to have somebody in mind. One of the big ways that you can save money or family is to know already, everybody be brief when we need a tow truck. This is who we need, like Jerry, you know, you think about it is just when you have a relationship you went by and talk to someone him and this is the nub said his time at time of you in the past is when my daughter went up to liberty University.

I went up there and found who will monitor call. She had a a an issue with anything arming them two and half hours away in this just instantly within the matter of a month the first month up as she had in the column Chris had it had a little bit of an issue, but know that you want to call because if they just randomly call somebody you there's a couple issues that you don't know you don't know what they're going to charge because it's owner rotation. So to be more than just the traditional Tobin request somebody one thing you having to pay for a lot of stuff that is involved that your zoning your insurance or thing to be part of that that rotation list so if you have somebody to call us and save you money. There list of vehicles on the go somewhere that you know where saddest I can be across town. You know what kind of fees are going to charge you is just a lot of things you save a lot of money and the other piece of it is, you know that they don't have the equipment to tow your car. A lot of times people just come out there don't have the right equipment are what is an alligator flatbed and this woman oozed earlier said Mr. beaver, couldn't you know that incident, but also the tow truck driver couldn't get enough car to pull it up on on the truck manages here somebody who had a customer pull the car up on the rollback is frightening to me that is now we have had marked low, as promised on hanging on and I am got Mark Lowell on the line. He's with the Iowa Department of Transportation in Ames Iowa I think is so cool that I was stepping out in this text is L8 are you know I'm too old to get in all those those things. But how's it work.

Yet later and we just spelled out LHR because it don't play on texting also will play on what people do it. License plates which something weird you're familiar with. We've actually use that one of our promotional T-shirts with my plate text later is something you can grab people line attention but the basic premise application which you can put on a smart phone or mobile device, and if it's a Jeep unit. It will enable spark or mobile device will then detect whether not device including a driving speed.

Driving speed that will block out incoming and outgoing text messages, especially so the young people are safe while driving. The really for all drivers. Many data systems safe while driving. So everything will be available to everyone right and quite frankly it would be a limit on people and I will do what we are what we're intending to do is once we get it out the in the application stores. I shall be the Apple Store in the Google play store in order to make it available for free young drivers and I was there between 1417 and their parents and that will also be available for any belts once a small fee understand there's an application or something's for the parents to monitor at home. This is the part that I think is really interesting that parents are excited about it will allow the parents to go to a vendor hosted website and in a protected and secure way they can access a portal that will show them their child's driving trips graphic original give them a router where they went. And it will show them how they perform in that route, so if there was an speed limit there and get agreeing that segment a little bit of yellow way over there going to read. Also tell them that they had really hard. Acceleration of the stop sign that type of thing. So give them a chance to know Ashley start to expand your scope of unsupervised driving.

I still be able to know how the performing and have a chance to have a conversation dialogue with him about it. Hopefully improve their child's driving safety is absolutely wonderful. I imagine parents all over the country.

I don't want to find out how to get this app but it is through the Iowa Department of transportation right we are in process, developing the apt resources vendors to assist us with that and we expect will be a release sometime next spring. Hopefully as early as the script a great 2014.

We will certainly be following up with that and again we went marked low Iowa Department of Transportation honor to have you on today were so excited about this breaking news wearily please you invite us to be on what love to talk about it. Thanks so much and one last thing that I should mention the house. How can our listeners find out more about of course I'll have links a Christian card. I.com but what website would you recommend Iowa DOT.gov and we will certainly as we make progress with that will put information out releases and information on our website. Billable will be able to direct link people to the stores where it's available and I just have to say marketing going to that website. What a wonderful it's good it's got Facebook apps its Twitter something, especially for teens there and I were you guys are doing a great job. Thanks very much. We were really pleased with the way that's involved.

It's come a long way in a short time terrific again? We really really appreciate you being locked on the list today.

Alright thanks so much. Thank you. And, as a follow-up to that wheat we had slain the West who is one of our contributing authors write an article on the minimum driving age which also broke this week. Along those same lines, we had all his stuff on text later. Which, again, you can find all that Christian card. I.com but now you can also find about rethinking the minimum driving age and slightly views of a bunch of time on per truck stories today so not have as much time for this, as I'd hoped, but can you give our listeners a quick rundown on why you think we need to rethink this minimum driving age so the United States compared to a lot of other countries below it.

Minimum driving age like American. The 1821 Drive 16 and what were saying is a staggering amount of data per 100,000 residents. The escape and the large percentage of those that are associated between the 6816 and 20 when talking about automotive related debt so clearly there's a problem when we compare the step two other country eliminating back demographic from the driving age would definitely lower the fatality numbers everything. It's a great point slave and I'm so glad that you're doing that research out there checking that out now that you were you aware what you're doing and I would did you see that this week.

No, I didn't like an excellent app that only one of the options instead of lowering minimum driving age is a lot you can do to help lower that number came fatality that that happened like an excellent idea and I'm honestly glad my parents didn't have Moses thing with the you know how is it that you have with GPS enabled telephones let you know the technologies out there. Jerry but it might help if they need a wrecker like Joseph did. So we got Jason spinning on forever with a tow truck story. Thank you. Slain God bless you in Las Vegas coming to you this morning appreciate you so much. Get up early for today.

Thank you Slayton RI Joseph in East Bend, North Carolina. We came a lot of states across to get back over here to ease bandit tell us your story. You can hang on for everybody and you will experience what locksmith work in Greensboro.

Our car broke down cost me almost $400 to get the car fixed and it broke down again in Winston-Salem this time to train someone else or cost me another $85 to have it towed.

I ended up scrapping the car and 9128 birthday present day meet AAA going well. Great birthday present so I lost probably close to $600 in the last week and I like make a comment about person that made the statement about the cars unlocking cars, license locksmith in this state and if not wrong. I think I'm right on this. It is a misdemeanor to carry locksmith unlocking tools without a locksmith license in the state. A lot of people think that you just explain Jim in the door anymore and it just solves all problems. It doesn't say you cannot call centers and everything else blown her back out. You know that's so God bless you Joseph. Keep up the good work out there. We need those locksmith when you need one you know you need one and so we appreciate you calling very much that God bless you buddy thank you bye-bye RI what we gotta move our appraisal by the real black book.

That's where we search the Bible for hidden treasure crown for the sermon lift up her voice for understanding as we mentioned, if you're hooked up to a tow truck. Your freedom is on the line you got no you can't go anywhere you can't go.

When you were thought you're going to go there. Well interestingly, Christians may find themselves still caterpillars when were supposed to be new creations right were supposed to be a butterfly and again I'm I mentioned John Lynch's God tube which is called truth faced. If you want to see some really cool where he talks about where you know you can yell a caterpillar all you want. That is supposed to fly but that's not necessarily get help in and in. You have this freedom in Christ. But how exactly do you use it and how do you make yourself available and I was thinking about this week as I've been reading this book by George McDonald which I now refer to them as old McDonald was from 1800 so we just gone moment, but anyway, the thing that I was thinking as I thought about this butterfly picture was besides the wings and the skinnier body. One of the biggest differences between a butterfly in a caterpillar is the per biscuits that you see robbing those big words that Gregory Baskett's accountability caterpillar food like little pieces of leaf and stuff like that but butterflies they drink nectar so they have a very cool straw like device similar to an elephant's trunk. It's actually got the same name approved biscuits so almost like pixie dust right if you're going to fly. You gotta drink the nectar well when you think about that now from a godly standpoint if you're gonna be a butterfly and you want that freedom to fly and you got a per biscuits going on where them. Listen to this quote from George McDonald which just blesses me know and here's what old McDonald had to say.

So when our hearts turned to him meeting Jesus that is opening the door when your heart turns, permits, opening the door to him that is holding up a mirror to him. Then he comes not by our thought only not in our idea only, but he comes himself and of his own will. He comes in as he would and he comes in we receive enabled or received by his very coming.

The warm welcome guest of the whole universe. Thus, the Lord, the spirit becomes the sole of our souls and become spiritually what he always was creatively other words, you get to be back what he originally designed to be in our spirit informs it give shape to our bodies in a manner that his soul informs and gives shape to our souls.

Another words you need those wings. The only way you're getting those fella's. You gotta drink the nectar. Gotta have your per biscuits out there and so when are you going to stop, pull yourself out of the matrix and turn your heart to Jesus to see what he may have for you now. There's a lot of ways you can do that and taken time in the morning or maybe I walk in the woods. But the thing of it is is the only way you get that butterfly food is if you really disconnect and turn your heart towards him, that you may do that while you read the Bible you may do that in prayer, but the food that wells up to everlasting life. That's when you really turn your heart and say Jesus I need to hear from you, like the lady did lot that was needed in beaver. There she was like wow this tree is common and it's in slammed in my way is out of the military.

Like she ate some butterfly food. Absolutely it and by doing that you know when we connected to Christ have that relationship, then we see the path that he leads us down. We see the doors are open, we see the opportunity puts in front of us and what we don't have a connection was to crawl around the ground like a caterpillar and were stuck on the hook Where on the line were still stuck to the ground.

Somebody other than why don't you fly, why don't you fly well you got have some fly for the interesting thought. What were to find out more tow truck stories. One of the top 10 reasons you may need a tow when we come back working a countdown for you and we need years 866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH beautiful butterfly come out and fly were not supposed be hooked up to the tote truck isn't always a bad thing. Robbie Hummel I what I did was I went Google actually to see if anybody had come up with the ultimate list of reasons that somebody might need a tow truck, and I believe it or not, nobody has a comprehensive list so I took my guess at it this morning and I wrote number one be in the collision, never to be a flat tire number three be an overheated engine engine failure other mechanical failure out of gas locked out, hit a deer stuck in the mud stuck in the snow and Jerry says Robbie you left out number through the biggest one of the biggest ones of all, which is dead battery dead battery had to express you get rainy weather people had the headlights on some the cars on the dollar dramatic shed off. They ran with the light sound when the day hopped out only think about it come out dead battery how to do that but one of the ones that we did want to talk about is this locked out of the car. Because there's a couple options you may not be aware of and what of those jail one of the things he is on a lot of the cars and newer cars.

Especially, you can call the dealership and given the Vin number and and that you have proof of the owner and they can do you a courtesy key which will get you inside the car now. One thing that I am one thing about that courtesy key is not a chip key so don't crank your call with that key because what to do it or just it. It'll cause it to wipe out the memory and then you've got to go get car reprogram. So don't think anything will do is get you in the car will have people all the time that a call and have a lockout and that's what we try to tell him that they can do that cause us and save them some money, a lot of times they want us to do it so will go by and pick up the key and take it down there and get them in the car and some of your significant man I don't want to have a second key because it cost me three dollars will if you understand that you can get one of these keys that that will fit your car.

Don't ever use it in the ignition, but you can hide that you can keep it as a key in your wallet. Whatever, it will open the car door which is is the issue, but as we mentioned before, there comes a time to call a tow truck when you're locked out or a locksmith, as the case may be because there's all kinds of trouble to be had if you go stick and something that in that door. Then there is a lot of trouble when you stick a piece of metal inside of a door any more space without electronics airbags that electric locks in a very few cars have rods now you know this mostly cables and there so you start thinking something inerrant and pushing down stuff you can do a lot of damage in another place you can do a lot of damage and you think I'm to save myself a tow bill because I'm a to figure out how to get out of the month, to get out of this to hitch many many many a transmission interacts with there's issues Arthur Jerry and to burn up transmissions burn up burn tires slap off of cars trying to get out and then the buddy with the rope and 90 hook into the bumper kente.

How many cars that had brought down with the front bumper, rear bumper stuck in the trunk, which is slap pulled it right off.

Try to get somebody out of the ditch goes back to that. The thing we talked about with a gentleman called and said you spent $400 for tow from Gray's body spin is he Bobby just called somebody from random and had no relationship with them. And one thing always try to do. They may not be able to give you an exact price on a tow thinking give you up pretty close of a range that's on the base so you're not when you appoint a being picked up.

You get to point B where the destination is in all the sudden they tell you that a $400 bill me that can be disheartening and originated by the state in certain areas where there there total ranges are regulated some of the lease calls are regulated, but it's that spotty most of the time you notices free enterprise and and so these companies are quoting their pricing coming up at the prices so it's just important to find somebody that you can trust to find out the price range and everybody can hear my voice thing always encourage you to do inside the glove box have you going to call in case of an emergency to the record company where soon-to-be TOEFL for bodywork or mechanical work save a lot of money or I will thank you for listening Christian card I show today. We certainly it's our audience.

It makes us rethink all the radio shows that carried us. Remember Christian card. I.com you find all this information. Text later, all is testing to be there as well as a podcast to show later and remember take time this week to eat some butterfly flute food writer take time to sit with Jesus and use your promiscuous or would permit what I forgot already on my big nerd I've lost. Thank you for listing the Christian partnership
