Your Favorite Car Movie

Welcome to the Christian Car Guy radio show.

The cop show dedicated to helping Christians buy and sell cars by the book the blue book. Now the orange book, but by God's book, the Bible called the Christie car guy with your questions.

186634218663487884 is being a Christian have to do with buying a car you're about to find out is your host Robbie Gilmore. Well, welcome to the Christian Car Guy show this morning and obviously of your listening right now. This is not the voice of Robbie Gilmore but Robbie asked me Darren Kuhn and Bob Young to come in and host the show today and we are also joined with a couple of other friend samhain and Dennis Bredon and we have I think a great show. Robbie allowed me to come to pick the topic and and I couldn't believe that he had never done this topic on the show, but if you know anything about me and and Sam a little bit you know there were also the hosts of the masculine journey radio show and we use a lot of movie clips and things like that in our show took on illustrate where even Hollywood, sometimes tells the story of God, even if they don't realize they are. I don't know that we'll get there today but what we want to know is what is your favorite horror movie of all time and you might think outside the box a little bit as to what that car you know may be, you know cars winded car start Bob what's what's the year 1920-ish. I can't really give you date on that we were talking about other day about some how modern Chevrolet here in town is been in business since 1933 and that, while that kinda got me. I want to say 1905, but I've got my think you're right.

I think Mercedes made a car ride around in the 19 owes sometime in that neighborhood and then after that, you know, obviously Mr. Ford was not the first guy to create a an automobile. He just got it perfected it.

He did it well yeah yeah he perfected building them anyway.

Was put that way, maybe one of our Google guys can check on that. It is up to the actual date exactly order of Robbie's list and he'll call in and will bit and tell us the exact date and you know probably the hour and the minute but what we want to know is what your favorite car movie. But if you think about it. What was a car 100 years ago. You know, mean, actually, there were some cars, but what about 200 years ago 300 years ago. What was a car back then and so maybe it's your favorite mode of transportation movie but honestly we want to know what your favorite car movie in it. What I was amazed when I started looking at all the different movies that have been made through the years for cars and I was kind of you know it it it brought a lot of different things to my mind and we've just been sent here chat in the studio about all those things. So it sandwich. What is your favorite car. Maybe it's kind of tough. It goes from animated through comedy probably comedy for me. Something I cannonball run yeah I just found myself laughing at course is pretty young when I came out right and want to lose my mom took me to this, you probably shouldn't put into it which was many, but it was it was very enjoyable fun. You know he's got a C all the camaraderie of people traveled across the country in this big race right and Bob actually sees cars after the big race they they come into the 109 you pull it and get to hang out there for a few years after that.

I don't think we had several come in after last Saturday night's demolition derby at Bowman Gray said they had their very first female winner ever awesome and there's been Bowman Gray demolition Derby's for a lot of years. I don't know exactly how many but I think the stadiums been going on since back in the 50s actually yeah and that's a lot of derbies without a female winner and it was an employee in mind also missed Chassidy Bowman was the first female winner awesome and if weather permitting. I get to go and present her with her trophy for my sons of that is cool now.

Did you have a hand in helping her build the car. I did not help build the car. I did provide the car you out but I did a lot of that preparation back on my son that was how he first got started at at the Bowman Gray we ran a Derby and he was a one hit wonder the first time.

Why did this one guy I really really put a good hit. I'm better and knocked back back of the car down on the tires and lock them up there. He couldn't move anymore, but he knew he loved yeah and we did a little bending on the car and got it where the rear end would go upward instead of downward to use the Caterpillar and got it customized little bit there and about a gallon orange paint and wait to get back out there and he actually want this very second time. Awesome app that is something that I have always wanted to do. I don't you know I've never had the wherewithal to get it done but I've always wanted to do a demolition derby or almost any kind of a race in automobile, but if you do it stretch really good before Kareem Lee good afterwards. The lot of stretching out a deep tissue massage, right before and it it says something if you work the kinks out before you lay down. I did that affair. I never done it at Bowman Gray that I did at the Dixie classic fair and three times out there and if you really stretch getting you genetically snuff and everything before you go to bed that night. You got a 50-50 chance of being out to get out of I think that's probably really really strong odds for me but 866-34-TRUTH is the number we would love for you to call in this hour we've got a lot of clips to play as well from the movies over the years that kind of featured cars and so maybe it's not a movie about a car but maybe it's a movie where a car kind of became one of the characters, and again that's 866-34-TRUTH, and further digitally challenge that is 866-34-TRUTH 87884.

We would love for you to call in.

In this hour and tell us what your favorite movie is about cars in and maybe why all of those things. So Bob I asked you beforehand what are some your favorite car movies. I've got to go with Smokey and the bandit they just took out a classic. The Trans Am was one of my favorites. Already a friend of mine had had one and the just the free-spirited ride across the country in the this you know it. Just take that car to another level, and it was an already awesome car before the movie came out and it just it does raise the level and we still every time we get one in that the yard you see the parts disappear fast and if somebody really people loved that car in and one restored and I know some people even store up extra parts just in case you know that's my brother-in-law had a 77 Trans Am and that was you know that that was a 77 Trans Am. I think her 78 but I think it was a 77 that was just a little bit more tricked out than the normal car was but you know they had the bandit addition in his was that he got the red one instead of the black bandit addition which you know as a as a kid I was six years younger than him, and when he came home. You know came driving up in this red Trans Am. I was and that is the coolest carving of everything and and and I had a 65 barracuda at the time while so I mean not you know I loved muscle cars and I worked on muscle cars and all that kind of thing as a kid and just really loved cars in general and in and out. So when my sister's boyfriend came driving up in his brand spanking new 77 Trans Am that was pretty awesome. So we got a couple callers already on the line and will be get into those guys after the break here, but we would love to hear from you again. 866-34-TRUTH what is your favorite car movie and why.

And we got a lot more coming up in the show. We've got the appraisal by the real black book in and that is I'm in a tell you right now is going to be dealing with the biblical law of increase and you may be thinking what in the world is that have to do with a car show, but literally I think it does in God's been working with me on that. All week long, and this law of increase and maybe you can be thinking about that as well. How that applies to the world of automotive transportation. Why why we like these kinds of movies Sam, I mean well sit here thinking it's not just movies. I remember watching Starsky and Hutch, you and you would see a car that looked like in your amazed.

Generally yeah is another when you see people that have replicas and just how important that car was. It was central something about the story that spoke to the heartedness that they went out to get that right if they get some animated horror movies to action. Everything has a cars theme a movie that has a car in it. If you really think about that every movie has a car but every genre of movies have a car in it. At some point I think one of my first toys as a kid was a car. I know if I think about one of my very first toys as a kid was was it was either like a Tonka truck or it was a hot wheels or a matchbox car or something like that. And the best times that I remember as a kid was working on the car with my dad and me. Not you, and we go out in the garage and work on the car together and although I probably didn't do anything that loses tools for him. I got to get my hands greasy and it felt like I was doing something with my dad who was my hero, so you know that was the connection is harsh to me talk a whole lot more about cars in the movies that we love featuring cars. After this writer listening to the first song you are listening to the person you're talking about car movies today. What is your favorite car movie and we got a couple callers on the line 1st were going to take James from mineral, Virginia James, are you on how you doing today good how are you will. So what is your favorite Carmine James.

Well I have one a lot of other people like my clear comedy with Herbie W and I love you Doug yeah I I think we actually have the love bug seemed only Johnny there you go.

That's if you remember that yeah there's a lot of different VW bugs and my grandmother had a VW bug. She had a 68 bug. She was the coolest grandma in the history of the world and she used to let all of us grandkids try to pile in and see how many grandkids she could pile into her VW bug zero market. Well, we were all fairly small, but there is a you know is teens all the way down to probably four or five years old, but that was in Abilene, Texas. It was hotter than you know the Fourth of July all the time it seemed like an it didn't have any air-conditioning, but she would pile us all in and take us to the mall or something like that and the we used to have a lot of fun trying to make grainy laugh because we know if we could make her laugh hard enough, you probably wet her pants, and so we remain kids but she loved this anyway and I arrived. I love that car and love those movies will got I've got what it where okay I will try to send you a Christian concept okay sure I like all PBS special one-time where they re-created unit 2005 years ago the Egyptian chariots. Yeah while they re-created a chariot and they when they did that they made amazing discovery that they found that the Egyptians had built in shock observer which made them able to go faster over the bumps under enemy while they didn't realize that teacher. So I guess you could call that course part would be to my favorite car chariot horse movie would be Ben Hur.

Well, I am so glad that you said that James because I told Robbie that the other day when Robbie let me think this I said hey I want to do what your favorite car movie and couldn't believe that he had never done that and he asked me what your favorite Carmine and I said, Ben Hur, and he will and he said what about us and that was the part of the day, and I mean come on, if if that's not a a race for your life and in a no transportation I don't know what is so right and make that driver they would have done that if they had a chart that he found in it and they re-created exactly and that was the feature of their addiction. Wow, that's cool, but they never waterproofed them noted. It never got course part that I was thinking in Ben Hur, there were some that had like six or eight horses on right or you so probably think only what would a 4 hp car due today hey there headed then headed back toward the list, horsepower, and in more mileage we gotta go to it.

Hopefully it would if we could get everybody else to slow down and not blow us off of the road. I so appreciate you bringing up the fact about the suspension on the chariots because I never knew that that yeah you and for me that is really cool.

The Egyptians you know they were the first ones to come up with the steam powered locomotive as well. Right really really want to do that will thank you so much for calling in my pocket and now we've got Ray from Hendersonville, North Carolina how you doing Ray I am doing fine. Great programming when you know your favorite movie well and there are so many. Yeah when you started talking about being her you know Ben Hur they should play it it it impacted of the 10 Commandments because it is truly well the guy that routed her tale of the cry and I have read the book and I can still feature often even board racing around there and they are in their chariot. Great great thing, but my favorite movie idea. One of my favorite my favorite aunt, my Steve McQueen in bullet while jogging that me and I had a friend I think you learn to drive, watching that movie you want to go from being her bully in between there I when you talk about transportation. I get stagecoach would be my other move there you go John why online grabber Claire Trevor in the divine and those people in your lab how they call your unit stagecoach Colombian trade down that had been the coolest stagecoach ever built in the history of the world think I'm not mistaken I might be a lot of things that my different things crossed my mind that each coach would you check it out. I don't know post summary Studebaker stick to my hip stagecoach company want then they will in. I might be totally and another man, a great program and that that that that is good. Why I like the thing that you all well thank you I call In re thanking all of you to we also have Miss Marge on the line from Crossville, Tennessee, and if you're a regular listener to the show, you will know. Miss Marge's voice. When you hear but this is Robbie Gilmore's mom. I don't miss Marge fun out of everything. Yes, yes. My favorite Carmine Kitty Kitty Bank oh I think we have a clip from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and I remember watching that my sisters, that was their favorite movie as well. When as far as those types of things go. When I was growing up and I remember as a little boy I never wanted to watch it. I was like what's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang again but you know back in the day. We can even have a VCR or anything but it seemed like that movie came on like every other week when I was a kid just had a flashback to elementary school member that my great yes and so in that your favorite movie and we think it's probably Robbie saved for him to bring back a lot of memories are so good. I'm glad that it bless you this morning and just to let you know we are praying for you and just love you through Robbie and you have blessed our lives by being his mom quite well awesome. Thank you for your listening to the Christian car guy and after this break come back and call in 866-34-TRUTH like oh yes we do as you are listening to Christian car guy. I love that song.

I remember actually listening to that song driving through the Colorado Rockies.

I grew about in Oklahoma and we would spend 2 to 3 weeks on the Rockies every year, camping and traveling all through the Rocky Mountains and we would go over Wolf Creek Pass will that song talks about going over Wolf Creek Pass and through the tunnel. That was a low tunnel.

Back then it wasn't a high tunnel was only like 12 eight or something and so it was getting hammered.

Every once in a while by some truck drivers. It forgot how tall he was and so the you know that's a big part of that song where they go through there with the chicken hauler and he knocks off the first two or three layers of chickens off the top of his truck and I remembered youfirst McNugget singers zingers for your sense of humor. 866-34-TRUTH we got Bob Young the Christian junkyard guy in the studio with us today and that Robbie is up in Michigan but were talking about your favorite movie, so please call in 866-34-TRUTH 87884 we had a couple really good calls. Robbie brought up his favorite movie he told me the other day and I mean it was funny listening to him tell me this whole story of how much he loved this movie but it was the movie Lemans and I don't know how many of you guys remember that. But that was a Steve McQueen movie and it was Steve McQueen racing the golf course 917 and it was sponsored by golf and they were painted in the Gulf oil colors. You know the light blue kind of there almost the Richard Petty bluebird powder blue with the orange golf on it and it was them racing in so Ferrari steam with life. I can remember that Ferrari model but it was a whole movie and it was almost made like a documentary style movie but it was 24 hours of Lemans and so Robbie was telling us about how he and his brothers and all of his friends made their own Lemans track out of slot car racing tracks and they did testing and the whole 9 yards and they did their own 24 hours of Lemans and they had an all night race where they literally had the you know they wore out tires and wore out electric motors and had to rebuild cars and get them back on the track and the whole 9 yards. Wow, that's pretty out. I know that I was just like wow it sounds like Robbie did you ever do that as a kid, I mean as a kid did you do like bicycle races, motorcycle races, car races, I wasn't allowed to have anything with a motor on it. They do you. When I was young. By the way, I rode a bicycle – it would be just really extremely dangerous for me to have one with the motor on because I had older brothers, two older brothers and I was that guy that you know hey jump over the years and anything you could lean aboard against, I would.

I would hit hard as I could and you know see how we came out here and I have so much in common. Bob grandparents Tim and Dori Kuhn buying goods they would let me have anything with a motor in it either until I was 16 that even after 16 they knew I didn't need anything with two wheels and a motor… The that they could just tell by the way I read the bicycle that I did need a bicycle with a motor on well that's I told Robbie the story wheat we had Robbie the biggest driveway in the neighborhood when I was growing up, and what you know.

Not super wealthy or anything, but we had a fairly sizable driveway that that when it had a big straight away and then it curved and it was kind of a and L shape or lazy L shape and that's all the kids would bring their bicycles to our house and we would line out on our driveway.

A race track and we would have like hundred lap 500 lap races on my driveway with our bicycles you know are one speed bicycles and my dad would come home in the afternoon in the driveway would be completely black. You know from all the rubber all (and gouges where you had a wreck and the petals would gouge out the pavement and in it he was a good dad.

He would always go Darren you need to go try to clean that up. You know and and I got there with bleaching Clorox ever now and then doing it, but but for the most part he never really threw a bad fit because he knew if we were doing that. At least we were killing somebody else a he knew what he was.

Yeah, right, and we raced bicycles up and up Virginia where I grew up. We had a dirt track that was that we may get out of it was said drained lakebed so we had all kinds of obstacles that went through on that dirt track and we raced on the dirt track and then we graduated to go carts we raise go carts in week one gunner neighborhood Stanley Zirkle knew how to take a lawnmower engine and put on the back of those things again and he made several go carts and I'll never remember. But never forget being run out off the track one time and I ended up in a row of bushes that was at the elementary school and are absent in the go-cart and hold the bushes I Macau I get outta here.

That's pretty bold in the bicycle race and brings back great memories for me aside and I we raced over Tanglewood. There's a BMX track over there is not a circle track that is thrice a great form of ricin with no turns and just we used to travel all over the country. We started out it Tanglewood and then found out that they had some traveling going on in you know that we got in the truck and crossed the county line. Nobody could tell us anything you that we had a a lot of the lava great experiences ragdoll of the country and race in BMX. There yeah that is I we did a lot of that we made our own tracks BMX track sigh, lived on the country and Oklahoman and we never did it.

I had some friends that did it. You know and and raced it all the sanction tracks if you will. We had the unsanctioned tracks. Guess where we were jumping over barbed wire fences and things like that as long as you didn't mess but I was the guy that they would always go you know I think if you put three more bricks under that ramp. I think you'll be able to clear that fence over there and I was always the guy that was like okay I'll give it a shot. So we are brothers. Anyway, we have Bobby on from high point talking about favorite car movies as well. Bobby, how are you doing today Like the wood driveway rock which we live in an intersection after doing that again locked at the lab right at end of the writing that need to call him now. When Pat was coming that I don't think I now leave Philip talk.

I sure thought about him this morning that that they had her maybe child that matter and that there was at least thankful versus reading. He had to go through training to learn how to handle the different ranges that can wow that's an interesting free space attribute Bobby and always let Steve acquainted with the foul language is a part about Reynolds and headed out a couple times recently that my first car I ever had with the 48 board club to Maine.

It would ruin like a big thank like 21 to 22 when I was mowing drag race that worked with – Mara Chevrolet needs a baby tribal cards with me without a drag race tonight open that little car but I think it's probably my favorite car I ever did have a flat that we just had a need to pray for me that when the Lord had been looking after me. Yes, I have enjoyed your problem. The way back happy memories of younger years. Well I'm glad that that's the result of this so so Bob did you as it when you finally did get to put a motor you know on something or find a car with a motor in it. Did you just drive around like an old grandpa Lynn. I did not I was the I was a tad excessive. I was think about when we were talking about the bicycles that and John the could jump the crazy things that we had the banana seat. Oh yeah, and we tried.

I was going down to the woods and we have a log of phyla fallen across the trail and so we put a board up against the love lay down through there and hit way too hard and came down and landed on the point of the banana and gave it the oaf he should treat me yeah and and wounded myself. I can imagine and that it just brought back so many memories that thinking back on all this. But no, I did have a few incidents I was riding in the Aiken County recently and saw the side of my very first ticket I obtained and that was a crazy one and saw the place where I had my first accident and it just, you know, it's just a plethora of memories that come back from going and riding on the roads where you we first got your license is where you spend your childhood everything in it and you know it reminds me of the grace that God's been giving me. I mean, you know, I look at just like Bobby had said and others have said is you know, I know the Lord must've been looking out after me because there's absolutely no reason that I should live through a lot of things I I actually stole a pickup truck when I was 15 years old and it really it wasn't really stolen but it was my sister and my brother-in-law's and and he was in Alaska and his brand spanking new Dodge four-wheel-drive short narrow bed 78 pickup was sitting in my backyard all the time and it really needed to be driven. I mean it was crying out, please drive me and so I I took it out hot rotten around one day and got going way too fast on a dirt road.

I was probably going about 70 miles an hour, and hit some what we call in Oklahoma wash boards. I think people in North Carolina know what those are. In around the rest of the country. I'm sure you do to and ended up in a ditch and I flip that truck end over end and completely destroyed it and came out of it with nothing coming out and you have a bruise. I don't think until my daddy got hold of me, but way that it you know honestly the next six months of my life I was I was grandma I'm actually still grounded on 48 I'm still grounded evidently. But dad and I rebuilt that truck together from the ground open and know I spent the next six or eight months spending more time with my mom and my dad than I'd ever spent probably an previous three or four years and it became one of the best times of my life. Probably one of the worst times my sister and brother-in-law's life, but but it was a blessing to me. Which leads me to my sister actually answered on II posted on Facebook and Robbie's posted on his Christian car guy Facebook page you know what your favorite movie of all time. So if you don't get a chance to call in but you want to go post something on the Christian car guy website do that or you look up Darren Kuhn on Facebook. My sister put in Thelma and Louise which you know you don't think of as a car movie and I think she was joking, but she probably was referring to the fact that I, drove her off the cliff as a key and she was my older sisters. The dirt road story rings a bell for me.

I used to think it was really cool. Lisa let up on Sunday afternoon and there was over in the Aiken County between the Yakima Lynn Google there sure farm road over there and we used to go and ride on the dirt register their star at the Destin and all that but I was on a dirt road one time and just was pulling up the break to stop filler slide around a little bit and ended up sliding off the red databank into a creek and flip the car over. But while the car was upside down these trees had leaned over under it and it cannot work, cushion underneath the trees afflict me on over into the creek got a tractor pulled it out of the creek crank rep drove her home.

It was it was it had signs of Bob but there is still lived and we were able to make the repairs and keep it on the road. I think I did that with a 71 debts and station wagon. Once we rolled it over in the in the ditch beside the road and a bunch of us just jumped out, pushed it back for vehicles and drove off. But we do not recommend that type of lifestyle for the young listening today. We just want to give that caveat do we Bob is set is that ultimate thing that God is bound of had a better purpose for us. Then Dennis passing away at an early age. There's just so many things that that come up to my mind it. Wow, how did I live through that and I should've died.

Doing that are in a things could've turned out a lot worse during the years and just see no big pictures. John's phone yeah because there's a lot of things that you have done in the kingdom of God. Now because you have and that is the same for you right now if you're listening to the kingdom of God is full of stories where people made stupid mistakes tried stupid human tricks and lived to tell about it and God receives their lives to do great things. Please call in after the break. 866-34-TRUTH 48788. If you are a fan of the love bug you know that you are listening to Christian car guy Robbie is out of town this weekend but myself, Darren Kuhn and Bob younger in the studio hosting for Robbie and we are talking about your favorite car movies and and it could be maybe a TV show or you know as we've heard already.

There were three or four people who came up with Ben Hur, which you know to me is is the first real car movie. I guess in historical terms, but if you would love to talk about a car movie that just changed your life, whether that's we've we've gotten cannonball run and mad Max and Christine and a lot of people been posting on Facebook. Thelma and Louise El Camino.

Obviously the Batman movies you know in the Batman TV show me. I grew up on the Batman TV show and got to watch the Batmobile all the time and that was the coolest part of the whole show for me. I don't really care that much about Batman. I swung to see with the car was going to do next, and the difference in the first car in the car in the later Batman movies that's really amazing me yeah and the bat cycle and now that they've come up with now. Yep some pretty intense stuff yeah that's really cool.

I you know I remembered mad Max and I don't know why but for some reason I always thought mad Max was AMC Javelin. That's what I had remembered in my head but it wasn't. It was a falcon.

It was I think a 71 falcon was what that was.

Which wasn't even built in the United States anymore. It was an exclusive Australian car. At that time but it was you know the kind I had that same look to them. But that was the Mercury version. I guess of the Mustang really, but 866-34-TRUTH 866-348-7884.

We would love to hear from you on what your favorite car movie of all time is or maybe just you know's movie where the car was one of the characters really did kinda became it. Maybe not even intended to be, like the Starsky and Hutch series, you can't talk about that series without thinking of a red and white you know Gran Torino and other others like that as well.

I you know I for instance generally comes to mind generally comes to mind for for a Dukes of Hazard I'm trying to think of James Garner.

The detective show that he used to do in the car that was in there was a gold Firebird that he drove all the time that maverick not not a matter, what would it take action. It was one name I can't remember the name of the show, but but he he drove that gold Firebird always and then you know me there's different shows throughout the ages, but we have Mark calling in from Ames your North Carolina.

I don't even know how that's pronounced or were that's at but hey Mark how are you today how do you pronounce is that anger your and your Carolina from okay well I know free Fuquay Marina, but my sons played a lot of baseball tournaments and things down there but so what what your favorite car movie of all time really put out by my okay well that is great. We we we do have the Smokey and the bandit we had that a little bit and in a couple of those things. Thanks for calling in Mark we appreciated.

If you are listening today the appraisal by the real black book. Let me throw this out there God when he first created man, he told the very first thing he told Adam and Eve to do was to go and be fruitful and multiply, and what he meant by that is if you plant one seed you're going to get a more than one Apple. If you plant one Apple seed you're going to get an apple tree and it's going to grow a lot of fruit.

If you do good deeds.

Whether that is on the road if you let some guy in that needs to get off you plant that seed and God, the law of increase biblically is that you're going to receive a blessing back over and over and that but if you're the guy that always chooses to not let the guy and guess what a thousand people in front of you because that law of increase works for the negative. Just as well as it works for the positive.

You're going to be the one that's always frustrated trying to get over when nobody will let you in. So remember that law of increase when you're driving down the highway this week. Thank you for listening to the Christian car guy. Thanks for calling in. Robbie will be back next week
