This week’s Drive Radio broadcast comes to you live from the Red Lion Car Show at Leprino Foods in Denver, where cars, community, and charity come together. John Rush and his expert guests take calls on ignition timing, throttle body issues, and used truck values while celebrating classic car culture with sausage sandwiches and ice cream.
The show features a special interview with Rich DeManna, president of Italians of America, and Bob Bell from Food for Thought Denver. Hear how this 501(c)(3) feeds 18,000 hungry kids every weekend—without overhead and without fail since 2012. Learn about their grassroots work and how local
SPEAKER 05 :
Being an expert on general automotive knowledge, what would the correct ignition timing be on a 1955 Bel Air Chevrolet with a 327 cubic inch engine and a four barrel carburetor?
SPEAKER 22 :
It is a trick question. Watch this. Because Chevy didn’t make a 327 in 55. The 327 didn’t come out until 62. And it wasn’t offered in the Bel Air with a four-barrel carb until 64. However, in 1964, the correct ignition timing would be four degrees before top dead center.
SPEAKER 18 :
Get ready for another hour of Drive Radio, brought to you by Colorado’s select auto care centers. Got a question for the experts? Then give them a call, 303-477-5600. Now it’s time to pop the hood and get our hands dirty. Drive Radio on KLZ 560 The Source.
SPEAKER 12 :
And we’re back. Drive Radio, KLZ 560. Thanks for joining us. Loprino Foods is where we’re at, the Red Lion Car Show. And somebody asked, what city? That’s Denver. So we’re in northwest Denver, I guess you would say, 1830, 38th Street. So if you’re in the area, stop in and say hi. If you’re not in the area, we’re literally about a half an hour from any place in town. I should have mentioned this before I got going today. My wife’s grandmother’s birthday is today. And she is 102 years old. Wow. Awesome.
SPEAKER 1 :
102.
SPEAKER 12 :
Wow. Congratulations. So happy birthday, Wilma. So 102 years of age. And if I make it that far, I’m not sure anybody will stand me by then. I guess we’ll see. But Steve Horvath from Gino’s Auto Service joining us today, as well as Paul Inigro from Group Insurance Analyst. And we’ll take a call. Paul’s got a guest we’re going to talk to in just one moment. Before we do that, though, let’s get Jerry’s question answered. Jerry, go ahead.
SPEAKER 04 :
A friend of mine has a 2013 F-150 with the 3.5 EcoBoost. He bought it in 2014 with 4,000 miles on it. In 2021 with 70,000 miles on it, it went into limp mode. He took it to the dealer. They replaced the throttle body. And then a few months ago with 88,000 miles on it, it did the same thing and the dealer replaced the throttle body again. So I’m just wondering if you have any thoughts on that. That seems odd to me.
SPEAKER 10 :
Probably a bad manufacturer on those throttle bodies, probably. What year was this car again?
SPEAKER 1 :
2013.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. Probably not getting a good one anymore. As they get a little older, it’s a little harder to buy the good quality stuff.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, there won’t be any OEM of that. product left. It’s doubtful there’ll be any OEM left on that. There might be some leftover stock someplace if you were to search the internet and find something along those lines. But if they’re just calling up and ordering one from one of their local suppliers, it’s not going to be an OEM unit, Jerry, at that point. And again, that’s something I’d have to ask. What product did they put on it?
SPEAKER 04 :
He was under the impression that both times they were OEM throttle bodies that got put on.
SPEAKER 12 :
so and i’m assuming when they say they replace the whole throttle body i’m assuming the motor is what goes bad would that be reasonable and the butterfly the the shafts can wear they get loose and things along those lines they’ll suck vacuum and do things like that that’s why they get replaced also so yeah it’s a combination of yes okay it was and it was a dealer that was it a four dealer that did it yes Yeah, I mean, they’re saying they’re using factory stuff again, though. I mean, even the motocraft stuff is not going to be the same part they put on in 2013. It’s just not. They’re not made anymore. Not in that way.
SPEAKER 04 :
I just thought I’d see if you had any…
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, I’m along the lines of Steve that it’s probably just a bad part. In defense of the manufacturers, I mean, yeah, you can get a bad run of parts. In fact, in their case, it could very well be the same lot that both of those parts have come from. So no offense, one probably wasn’t any better than the one they took off and replaced.
SPEAKER 04 :
All righty. Well, thank you, gentlemen. I’ll share that with my friends.
SPEAKER 12 :
All right. All right, Jerry. Appreciate you very much. I wish I had a better answer for that, but sometimes that’s the way it works in the parts. And by the way, this can be true with a lot of parts, not just in the automotive world. It can happen in a lot of different industries. So, Paul, you brought somebody along with you here.
SPEAKER 11 :
Who do you have here? Yeah, Rich DeManna. Rich is the president of the IOA, the Italians of America. Awesome. The North Denver group. And they’re the ones putting on this car show today. Well, thank you.
SPEAKER 12 :
We appreciate it very much, by the way.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, thank you guys for having me on today. We’re real proud of our club and everything that we’ve done over our last 23 years of being around as a social club. This is our 22nd year.
SPEAKER 12 :
I was going to ask you that, 22nd.
SPEAKER 06 :
Doing the car show. Nice. Over the 23 years that we’ve been a club, we’ve donated money. A little over $600,000 to local charities in North Denver and stuff. Last year we’ve done a little over $57,000 to local charities around North Denver off of the different events that we do in fundraising. Car show is one of our big events that we put on every year. We love having all the cars down. The Italians of America started out with a group of guys that were 12 guys that just had a vision of putting this together and giving back to the North Denver community and the local charities. And we’ve built on it over the years. I’ve been president for about 12 years of the club’s existence. My father was one of the original founding members of the club. And we just get together, and Bob Bell came to us a few years back with his charity, and we voted on it. The members liked it, loved what he stood for. And we do this for him to help him out. We’ve got a huge presence that’s down there under the viaduct every Friday helping him stuff, bags full. All of our members just really jumped into this and really enjoyed it.
SPEAKER 12 :
For those of you listening, we do this every year, have Bob on talk about him as well, but we’ll get Bob on as well. I was talking about him last night to some friends that were thinking about coming to the show, and I’m like, well, when you come over, just make sure that you’re participating in all of that as well because Bob’s got a great charity that he does that he helped. And I was trying to explain. you know, how that works with some of these. And people look at you like, these kids don’t have anything to eat. I’m like, no, depending upon where they come from, their Friday meal may be the last meal until Monday.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, that may be the last time that some of these children might eat until Monday at school. That’s right. And, you know, Bob and his guys got together, and we took it to heart and jumped in and do everything we can to help him out throughout the year while these children are in school and stuff, help their families out.
SPEAKER 12 :
we love helping anybody that comes to us in need oh and again it was i was trying to explain that and literally i get this dumbfounded look like huh yeah if you think about it there’s certain neighborhoods and certain schools and areas where you know certain kids may not have a meal from that friday afternoon on all the way till monday when they go back to school and They looked at me like, yeah, that can’t be true. I’m like, yes, it’s true. Yes, very much so. Bob just keeps growing and growing and growing. That’s how true it is.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, and it’s crazy that, you know, in the year that we’re in, that there’s so many children out there that go through this and that are affected by not having anything to eat. You know, we send a lot of money over to third world countries and stuff, and we’ve got here a family at our home that children that need to be helped here too. So we help in any way we can to get the children of,
SPEAKER 12 :
denver and denver metro area fed throughout the weekend not to get political but bob proves that you can do things outside the government way easier than you can inside anytime you can get away from the government it’s a lot easier and you know exactly where your money’s going and i and again we’ll talk to bob directly too but i can attest to this uh a hundred percent of what you’re doing with bob goes to help these kids yes that’s the other thing he does
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s one of the things that the Italians of America does. 100% of everything that we take in, we keep a very small percentage of that just to put on the next event and run it.
SPEAKER 12 :
Because there’s a cost to doing all this. I understand that.
SPEAKER 06 :
Absolutely. We’ve got a lot of great members. Nobody’s on a payroll. Nobody gets paid anything with that. We run everything under a 501c3, and it’s just been a great organization to be a part of the last 20 years.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, we’ve been coming out here now, Paul, for, gosh.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, I can’t keep track now.
SPEAKER 12 :
It’s been not quite a decade, but it’s getting close to that. We’ve been coming out for quite some time. So not as long as the 22 years, but it’s been a long time. We enjoy it. It’s one of those things we look forward to every year. I know our listeners do as well. And so many of them have come through and even talked about the show in the past and all of that. And you guys do a great job. And I mean not just because you’re here. I mean this sincerely. I was even telling Paul. Guys, last night we were talking to a few guys. I’m like, this is one of the premier car shows, and the food is spectacular, but just the cars and the quality and so on, it’s one of the best shows in town, period.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, the show that we put on here and what people got to remember is this is a show that you pay to show your car at. We charge an entry fee to get your car in here, so it is… A lot of the premier cars in Denver come down to this show. So there’s some beautiful cars down here. A lot of guys in here that have been supporting our cause in the community and stuff for a lot of years in it. So if you really want to check out some real nice cars, everybody needs to stop on by. Absolutely. We’ve won the award for the best sausage sandwich in Denver the last two years. And I can see why. So come on down, get some food, some ice cream.
SPEAKER 12 :
It’s awesome.
SPEAKER 06 :
Bob’s got some. Beer over at his tent, have a beer and wine and a sausage sandwich and a great time looking at some great cars and helping out a wonderful cause.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, once again, thank you. I mean that sincerely. Thank you for having us, and we enjoy it. And Paul’s partnership with us is just fabulous, and we’re very thankful for being here.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, thank you guys. Thanks for having me on. You’re very welcome.
SPEAKER 12 :
You bet, Rich. Thank you very much.
SPEAKER 06 :
You bet.
SPEAKER 12 :
Take care. All right, let’s get a couple of phone calls in before the break. Bill and Lakewood, you’re next. Go ahead, Bill.
SPEAKER 14 :
This is the Italian from Brooklyn.
SPEAKER 12 :
The Italian from Brooklyn. Oh, Italian from Brooklyn. Okay. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 14 :
Actually, I used to buy a couple of boxes of cheese from Loprino’s back in the 70s.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, hey, but I told you I’d pull you back on the step I had put on my truck.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yes, yes, yes.
SPEAKER 14 :
And these guys, I’ll tell you, they don’t need no help for business, but it wouldn’t be bad to have them on your website. It’s RSG Off-Road on West Colfax. They’re right across the street from Discount, where it used to be a glass place.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 14 :
But they put that step on for me, the one that… that slides out from underneath the truck.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, nice, nice, nice. Yeah, those are great. Those are nice.
SPEAKER 14 :
Right. It slides out. It comes up about six inches so I can step on it because my knees are like, I just went and got cortisone yesterday in both my knees. That’s to tell you the shape of my knees, but it makes it easier for me to get into the car. Absolutely. They were a little pricey, but everything went smooth as could be. good you know no problems at all yeah no in fact if you’re in there again or you talk to them by all means have them reach out i’ll do the same and see what we can put together see actually it’s a toyota they do they work on toilets most of the time okay that’s the majority of what they work on okay gotcha but like i said it worked out good i mean very good what i needed was either either spend that money or go buy a new car
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, I’m glad you did that. That’s way cheaper.
SPEAKER 14 :
Right. That was the alternative from the wife. Yep. You’re going to keep it. Yep. Good job. Okay.
SPEAKER 12 :
Good job, Bill.
SPEAKER 14 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 12 :
I appreciate that. No, thanks for calling, and I appreciate that. Bruno, hang tight. We’ll come right back and talk to you as well.

SPEAKER 01 :
Air conditioning season is here. Take advantage of Geno’s Auto’s air conditioning recharge special. Is your vehicle’s air conditioning ready to keep you cool on hot days? We all know how fast Colorado can heat up during the day. The refrigerant in your air conditioning system gets contaminants, evaporates, and breaks down over time. That refrigerant needs to be able to absorb heat to be able to cool your vehicle’s interior. Geno’s uses a cooling machine that takes out the old refrigerant and cleans it. Then they put the clean refrigerant back, topping off with Freon at the right level. To make your life simpler, Geno’s offers loaner vehicles so you can drop your car off and pick up when ready. We back up our work with NAPA’s nationwide 36-month, 36,000-mile warranty. Stay cool this summer by making sure your system is up to date and ready for this year’s summer heat. Give us a call or go online to schedule an appointment. We’re AAA approved and located at Bowles and Platt Canyon. Stop in or visit us online at genosautoservice.com.
SPEAKER 27 :
Here’s why you need personal injury attorney Kevin Flesch on your side. He understands the way the jury thinks. In the context of a personal injury case, you’ve been hurt by someone else’s negligence. The idea is that you’re going to try to recover so that you can get back to where you were just prior to that incident occurring. What that really means from a jurist’s perspective is that you’re going to be asking them to award you money. So when we talk about fairness, we’re talking about six people that you don’t know. Those six people view the evidence and make a unanimous decision that will decide what the fair value is. When you’re the one who’s hurt, you have a good idea of what you think it’s worth. The question is, can you persuade those other individuals whom you don’t know and were witnesses to believe that’s what the case is worth? Kevin Flesch understands the way the jury thinks.

And Paul and I grow, of course, from Group Insurance Analyst. Also, we are at the great event, by the way, the Red Lion Car Show. And it’s always a great day.

Great organizations that are putting on everything out here today. And I mean that sincerely. We’re always privileged to be a part of this. So come by. Say hi. 1830 West 38th Street in Denver is where we are. Bruno up in Casper. You are next. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yes, John. I’m always listening religiously every Saturday. Thank you for the great work you’re doing every Saturday.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, thank you, Bruno. I appreciate you as well.
SPEAKER 20 :
You bet you. You bet you. I just wanted to have your highly estimated advice. How much should I have to pay ballpark for a 99 Ford F-250 with a 7.3 liter diesel in it and 175,000 miles? It’s a four-door pickup.
SPEAKER 12 :
175,000, you said?
SPEAKER 20 :
Yes, and it’s pretty good shape.
SPEAKER 12 :
I mean, any of those early diesels, and for everybody listening, this is kind of true across the board, Bruno, whether it’s a Ford, whether it’s an early Duramax, whether it’s a Ram, if the truck is in really good condition, mileage isn’t as big of a deal as, you know, is the truck in good condition, paint in good shape, interior in good shape, all of that, that truck, and I’m not exaggerating, Bruno, If it’s a good, solid truck, you’ll pay anywhere from $20,000 to $30,000 for that truck.
SPEAKER 20 :
Okay. All right. I appreciate that. I sure miss your sandwiches over there when I used to live there.
SPEAKER 12 :
Your way’s the way. We’ll send one up, Bruno. Okay. You guys have great fun. That door dash, there you go. Yep. We’ll do it, Bruno. Thank you. I appreciate that. And just to recap that whole early diesel thing, because a lot of people are looking at it. I get this question. In fact, that’s probably one of my top text and e-mail questions is I’m looking at, And in a lot of cases, it’ll be an early 7.3 or it’ll be a 5.9 or it’ll be an early Duramax. And what’s that truck worth and this, that, and the other? And folks are amazed, by the way, at times on the value those trucks and the money those trucks are bringing. And I’m not exaggerating. Those trucks will bring anywhere from… 20 to 30 grand, and I know that’s a big spread, and that 20 to 30 comes into play as to, again, condition, miles, one owner, more than one owner. By the way, what kind of modifications have been done to it? The more stock it is, the more money it will bring, by the way, because people that do a lot of the other modifications and everything. actually make it, in some cases, worth less money. But yeah, if you go out and find one of those trucks for 10 grand, number one, good luck on finding one that cheap, and if you do, buy it. In other words, some of those trucks are bringing not far off of what they were brand new, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that. Mike in Florida, go ahead.
SPEAKER 16 :
Hey, John, I texted you a few weeks ago, and I own a Tucson, and you said that you’re changing the spark plugs, and I’ve done that. So how many miles should I go to change them again is my next question.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, I think most modern cars, and some cars are a little bit more unique than others, but on that particular vehicle, on a Hyundai, on that particular vehicle, and this is true for most vehicles, again, there’s some exceptions to this, but in most cases, I wouldn’t go 60,000, 70,000 miles on a spark plug change. And I know they’ll say 100, but you’re pushing it when you go to 100. You’re wearing other things out. Correct. Coil packs. Correct. things like that and you have a chance of it you know not coming out of the head properly and things along those lines so mike i’m one and i think steve you know steve agrees he’s he’s doing this on a daily basis uh that that 60 70k mark and again the reason i say 60 70 is you know maybe you’re getting other service done maybe you’re at 65 you know maybe you’re at 60 and you want to wait a little bit and budget for it okay you know nothing says it has to be at 60k but somewhere in that 60 to 70k range is what i would do
SPEAKER 16 :
All right, John. Well, thank you. Yeah, I love listening to you. You have a great show.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, thank you, Mike. I appreciate it. And I’m guessing in Florida you’re a little warmer than us. We’re sitting at about 89 degrees with not much humidity. You’re probably hotter than us, right?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, I feel like we’re at 90 and it feels like 104. Okay.
SPEAKER 12 :
All right. All right. Well, but in the wintertime you’re doing better than we are, so we’ll be envious in the winter.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, I’m lucky. I own a house that has a pool.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, there you go. All good, Mike. Mike, thank you, man. I appreciate it. Thanks for listening all the way in Florida. All right, thank you. All right, man, you bet. Take care. We appreciate it. And we have listeners literally. I tend to forget this sometimes. We’ve got listeners all around, from Florida to Arizona. We’ve got folks in California, Montana, Idaho, Minnesota, Michigan, Jersey Joe. I mean, we kind of have them all. And a lot of that has come from either people find us online or, in a lot of cases, they have family members or they have moved. You know, we’ve got people in Tennessee. I missed that one. Texas, Oklahoma, all of that. So if I missed somebody, I apologize. If I missed your state, I apologize. And some of that, keep in mind, I know we’ve got local listeners that are in Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas. So in that case, some people even just listen over terrestrial radio. So thank you all. I do appreciate that greatly. And, Paul, I should mention, for all of those that are listening on the insurance side, given that you cover a lot of these western states, if they have insurance questions, they can call you up.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yes, absolutely. And a lot of the scenarios, even in the other states, are just similar to here, especially with Medicare, home and auto, very, very similar.
SPEAKER 12 :
I don’t mean to say fortunately. I mean unfortunately. All right, we’re going to do this. We’ve got a car review popping up here in a minute. Again, we are live at Leprino Foods, 1830 West 38th Street. We’ve got a car review coming up next that my son and I did on Monday. If you get a chance to come by and say hi, please do so. And the food here, and I mean this sincerely, your food here will be better than anywhere else, any other car show, and I mean that sincerely. all because of where it comes from, how they cook it, prepare it, and so on. You will not be disappointed coming by. And as we learned earlier, all of the proceeds of what happens today goes to Food for Thought, which we’ll talk to Bob Bell here shortly on that as well. So, guys, hang tight. We’ll come right back. Drive Radio, KLZ 560. And we are back. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. That time of the week where we do car reviews. Richard, what have you driven lately?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, Dad, so drove a really fun car, a fun sedan. It is an EV. It is the Hyundai IONIQ 6. This was the limited version, which has the long range and the all-wheel drive with 20-inch wheels. Price, as it was tested, Dad, with no break, no EV credits, which we’ll talk about actually after this review a little bit, about $56,000. Range on this vehicle, because that’s something that you talk about a lot when we talk about the EVs, and the range on this was just over 300 miles, which is really good, Dad, for a car of this size. And it was really efficient. And some of you are going to say, well, of course, Richard, it’s an EV, an electric vehicle. Of course it’s efficient. Well, Dad, some of the other cars in this segment… Maybe they might have a similar size battery, but they’re just not as efficient. So they can maybe only go 270 miles or so on a full charge. This vehicle that fully charged can get you over 300 miles, which really is great, especially if you’re able to charge this vehicle with an upgraded charger at your disposal. One nice feature, Dad, and we’ll kind of get into the apportionments as far as that goes, is on this vehicle, if you wanted to and you met all of the right conditions, you can go from about 10% to 80% in 18 minutes. And so some of the things that we talk about as far as range anxiety and some of that, you can sort of, well, not completely remove, but really minimize some of those concerns depending on where you’re driving this vehicle at, kind of the area with which you’re in. This was first introduced out in 2023. Minor revisions kind of to this year. If you’re over six foot tall, the headroom’s a little bit, Funky, especially in the rear seat, even the front row seat where we had Walt in it. He’s about 6’4″. He had to kind of lean that seat way back. But myself, about 5’10”. Not any issues, Dad, getting in and out of the car. Responsiveness was fantastic for those that haven’t driven the EVs, Dad. You know, this one isn’t even, I guess I would even call it a performance EV. And you’re right around there, about 4 to 5 seconds from 0 to 60. Really a fun car to drive. All the nice apportionments on the interior, the infotainment system that Hyundai’s done works really, really well, operates fantastically. You’ve got different drive modes, and you can feel the difference. It had like an EV mode, or not an EV mode, like an eco mode.
SPEAKER 12 :
Got it.
SPEAKER 08 :
A comfort mode, and then it had a sport mode, Dad, where you did feel the difference, and you could actually see the differences in terms of your range go down, right? You know, if you put a little bit more… oomph to the electric motors within that. Overall, really impressed in that. I kind of told you I was driving this car. You looked at You were kind of impressed with the looks. It’s a really good look.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, no, it’s not. And I’ve driven one before. They work very well, like you say. And you see these driving around town. I mean, again, you can start noticing different vehicles, and especially if you’re looking at certain vehicles. And we know we’re driving a vehicle. I tend to pay more attention during – it’s funny. When you’re looking for something, you see more of them than when you’re not looking for them. So, yeah, these are around. You can see them. And, again, I’ve driven them, and they, to your point, they work very, very well. Now, I want to add this in really quick, too, before – Because folks are thinking about doing some things. We’ve talked about this in the program. I’ve already done this today when it comes to some of the different credits and things that are out there. There’s also right now currently zero 48 month financing on that particular unit. So that might be something else to think about if you’re looking to do an upgrade on a new car. And we talked about this a little bit last week, Richard, too, comparing this without any credit. So after the September 30th deadline, this compared to other sedans, it frankly is right in the ballpark. If you look at how another sedan like this would be equipped on the gas engine counterpart, there’s not a lot of price difference. It’s about $5,000 is all.
SPEAKER 08 :
You are correct, Dad. And when you get the value that it brings and all of the apportionments, and we don’t want to sit here and bore everyone with everything that it can give you, but you’ve got a heated steering wheel, for example. You’ve got dual auto temperature control, rain-sensing wipers. I think this one also had some heated and ventilated seats. And so you get a lot of creature comforts on this vehicle, Dad, a lot of storage, which is nice. The back end, again, it is a sedan, but I felt like it had ample storage. in the trunk space of this car, which was fantastic. But I would encourage folks that if you are in the market for that sedan, and I would consider it more on the luxurious side of things. I would, absolutely. Especially with the looks of it, and I’ve actually got a neighbor that drives one of this, and he loves it, and it’s a fantastic car for him. like you said that we can’t speak to every circumstance situation and people may be listening to this review later on but we will always encourage people get out test drive these vehicles if you can whether it’s this model year again 2025 hyundai ionic 6 or a different model year they haven’t made a ton of changes since 2023 encourage you to get out test drive this vehicle let them when you do that let them know that john and richard rush from drive radio and rush for reason sent you

Do you know that your windshield is getting more expensive to replace? Most vehicles have options that help keep the vehicles from avoiding accidents or even keep it in the traffic lane. These windshields require more than just a replacement of the glass. They also require a calibration of the computer system to make sure everything is operational to the specifications the manufacturer set when the vehicle was built. You can’t trust the traveling glass replacement shop to do these necessary calibrations as they require special equipment and in most cases, an indoor shop to perform the calibrations. We have two Novus locations that can replace your windshield and also do These calibrations, Novus Fort Collins and Novus Sterling, both are fully equipped with the latest technology to service your vehicle properly. Find either location by going to any of our websites, ready-radio.com, drive-radio.com, or fixitradio.com. Just click on the Novus link. That’s Novus Auto Glass.

And we are back. Drive Radio, KLZ 560. Thanks so much for tuning in today. We appreciate it. Those of you that have come by the car show, which we’re at, Loprino Foods, 1830 West 38th Street in Denver. And if you’re out and about and you haven’t come by yet, please do so. It is one of the premier shows in town. And I say that in all seriousness. And it’s just not because we’re here. It is one of the better shows that not only we attend. but that’s here in general, and some of you that go to a lot of car shows and any more, the competition for car shows is huge. You get some of the listings of car shows that are out there, and there’s a bunch on Saturdays, a bunch on Sundays, a bunch on Friday nights, and so on, and the reality is this is one of the best shows out, and if you miss it, you’re going to be missing out, and on top of that, The food is great. Steve Horvath with me from Geno’s Auto Service. Paul and I grow from Group Insurance Analysts. And now Bob Bell joining us from Food for Thought. And really, Bob, a lot of this is because of you. Oh, hang on. Let me turn your mic up. That would help a lot. There we go.
SPEAKER 26 :
That’s better. A lot of it is a tribute to everything you just said that benefits what we do. We’re Food for Thought Denver. We feed for the last 13 years, and I’m not sure how long I’ve had the pleasure of being with you all. A while now. It’s been a minute or two, and thank you for that. For the last 13 years, we’ve been feeding kids in Denver. Our town, who don’t eat on the weekend. So they do fine at breakfast and lunch through the school day. We give them food to get through the weekend.
SPEAKER 12 :
I was talking to some folks last night, telling them where we were going to be today and different things about it and your charity and what you do. And they looked at me with this puzzled look like, wait a minute, what does Bob do? I said, he’s got this program whereby on Fridays he goes out and goes to different schools and areas and districts where a lot of the kids won’t have any food from when they’re eating at school on Friday until Monday. And they looked at me with this puzzled look like…
SPEAKER 26 :
in this day and age that can’t be true and i’m like well it is and that’s what bob does unfortunately it’s true and uh you know we had the same stupefied look when i first heard about a school down you know a mile from where we are and i’m staring at one of our schools across the street here it’s just uh the dirty little secret no one wants to talk about and no one does talk about it right um that’s why people like you that help us talk about it are the are the difference we started with 300 kids that uh you know, that we found that weren’t eating and all of a sudden just mushroomed into this thing where it was just a me too, me too, we got the same problem, we got the same problem. Seventy-five schools now, 18,000 kids, all in the same demographic.
SPEAKER 17 :
Wow.
SPEAKER 26 :
If you can imagine, in our town, wherever you’re listening to this show at and wherever you’re driving out this afternoon, you’re driving by one of our schools. We’re now from Boulder to Lafayette to Centennial to all of Westminster to all Adams County to all of Aurora. And we don’t advertise. We have no overhead. We have friends like Paul and GIA and yourselves that just say, hey, how do we keep this really simple, stupid? Because that’s what we are. We do one simple thing. We put food in a bag. If you walk over here to our table, you’ll see what we give to those kids, 13, 14, 15 items every Friday. We haven’t missed a Friday since St. Patrick’s Day of 2012. We have not a penny of overhead. We don’t own a truck. We don’t own a building. We don’t have an employee. We all just do it with the same heart as this community that says, this is dumb. How do these kids not eat? How could this be? 13 years into it, I can’t answer how it is, but I can tell you it is a thing. And, you know, every year we think, well, we worked ourselves out of a job and now we just keep, you know, the phone keeps ringing.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay, so, and I’m sure people have similar questions, because this is one of the questions that came up last night as I was discussing what we were going to be doing today, and they’re like, okay, so how do you know one kid doesn’t have food and the other kid does? So how do you determine who to give a bag of food to and who doesn’t get one?
SPEAKER 26 :
Yeah, well, in the vein of not that bright, we discovered very early on that we would never be able to search through that. For goodness sake, the schools can’t even figure that out. So what we have been able to do, thanks to the generosity of this community, is… We identify schools that have 95% or higher poverty rates, which means that’s a Title I school, which means a family of four that’s in that school makes under $29,000 a year as an average income. So we feed every kid in that school. We take a bag for every kid in the school. So it’s never to stigmatize one kid by saying, hey, if your life sucks more than his life, you stand over there. That’s never going to work. The hungriest kid is never going to. Raise your hand and say, yeah, that’s me. He doesn’t want to be that kid.
SPEAKER 12 :
Good point.
SPEAKER 26 :
So we just blanket the school, every kid, every Friday, and then we let the professionals, the teachers, the admin, they figure it out. And if you don’t need a bag, you’re the one that knows who could use the second bag.
SPEAKER 12 :
And it’s worked out beautifully. So give that bag to somebody, one of your friends that you know needs it more than you do. Do what you do.
SPEAKER 26 :
Take it home. Give it to your uncle and your aunt, your grandma, your cousins, whatever it is. But every kid in that enrollment gets a bag of food from Food for Thought.
SPEAKER 12 :
Very good, by the way. Yeah, it’s awesome. It’s the only way it works. I mean, 18,000. It’s amazing.
SPEAKER 11 :
It’s incredible. You can’t believe the number of volunteers that come out every Friday morning under the viaduct. Every Friday morning during the school year. I don’t care if it’s three degrees out or if it’s nice, if it’s raining or snowing. Every Friday, they’re out there. There’s probably 200 volunteers out there every Friday morning. Rain or shine, doesn’t matter.
SPEAKER 12 :
So when you guys do the bags, do you go one location or do you do multiple locations now that you’ve got all sorts of schools around the area?
SPEAKER 26 :
We have two locations that we pack at. Primarily we’re under the Colfax Viaduct. I’ve got a friend that’s got a warehouse out on I-70 in Havana. We use a piece of his warehouse on Friday morning to replicate the same exact structure to get it out there. That covers the north end, I’m guessing. The north and east, exactly right. And we see that’s where the growth is going to be. Yep. happening so we want to be at least positioned to do more and more uh gosh knows what’s going to happen in the next month because with all the talk about you know immigration and what’s happening our kids really going to come back and aren’t they going to come back but we know this there’s more people hurting as we all know right now than there probably has been since we’ve done it so we’re we’re positioned thanks to events like this to answer that call
SPEAKER 12 :
That’s awesome. Okay, so outside of the event here, people can buy, they can participate, everything, all the proceeds. If they buy a sandwich, whatever, a lot of that’s going right to you, which is fabulous. But on top of that, if they want to give and donate, how can they do that?
SPEAKER 26 :
It’s very simple. We have one vehicle, and that’s our website. So it’s foodforthoughtdenver.org. On there, you can hit, I want to pack a bag, and that will take you down to pack with Paul and I. or you can hit Donate a Bag, and that lets you drop in $5. Our self-imposed budget for a bag of food is $5. The Food Bank of the Rockies is where we get our food. It’s the only supplier we have for food. They understand our cause. We’re carrying out their mission. So they’re very cognizant of, how can I put 13 things in here that a kid that… honestly has no one to really prepare or help him eat, can eat. So in that bag, he can manipulate enough to get through the weekend. And in there, there’s a recipe in there that, you know, there’s five or six agents that say, look, if somebody will do it, even if it’s your seven-year-old brother, you can make a casserole.
SPEAKER 27 :
Right.
SPEAKER 26 :
You know, and it’s in that bag to make it happen. So that’s our place, and all we do is rely on people that are listening to this show to say, well, shoot, I’ll throw five bucks at it. We built this five bucks at a time, and we live for five bucks. Every beer that goes off that boo or every cigar that gets smoked, somebody’s dropping a $5 beer, and that’s how we build it.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay. Now, and maybe you have stats on this, maybe you don’t. I don’t want to put you on the spot, but have you ever had or do you have kids, because you’ve done this for a long time now, have you ever had kids where they were involved in all of this and then they come back and help afterwards?
SPEAKER 26 :
Oh, yeah. It’s what’s starting to blow our brains. Yeah, we see it all the time now. People walk around with that food for thought hat and people are like, you guys fed me. Wow. You know, we’ve been doing it long enough now that a kid that, you know, we’ve created a culture amongst some of these kids that they want to give it back. There’s a rare day that we get done giving our little spiel on Friday morning and somebody doesn’t walk up and say, I was that kid. I am that kid. Now I’m giving back to this whole thing. So cool. And we partnered with Metropolitan State University, which… If kids can dream to go to a university, that’s where they wind up. Our kids are at that university, and they often jump down there because those kids are barely scholars. They’re not scholarshiped in there, right? They’re just scraping to get in there. And I think if you’d allow me just to say this, I mean, that’s the message we’re trying to get behind now is we’re adopting a scholarship program. What kids don’t know out there, what families don’t know, if you make under $60,000 of income in this town, you can go to Metropolitan State University for free. No one knows it. I didn’t know that. How would you? I didn’t know that. So we’re about now trying to get out there and get that word out there that you can break the cycle. We’re helping you break the cycle in fifth grade, third grade, first grade. But when you get out of that high school, that’s the place you should go and get educated and try to do something different, whatever you want to do.
SPEAKER 12 :
Right.
SPEAKER 26 :
And we’re going to make that happen.
SPEAKER 12 :
Awesome. Well, A, we’ve been honored to be a part of what you guys have done for a while now. Amen. And the organization here that puts the car show on and all the things that we were talking to Rich earlier, I mean, just all of what you guys are doing, it’s fabulous. And I’m just grateful to be a part of it. So thank you guys. We appreciate it very much.
SPEAKER 26 :
We’re grateful to have you. We live in a very generous town. People are good, and people want to do the right thing. Just show them how to do it. And they show up, as Paul said, they show up in droves to do the right thing.
SPEAKER 12 :

SPEAKER 12 :
All right, we are back. Drive Radio, KLZ 560. Leprino Foods is where we are, the Red Lion Car Show. And you heard from Bob Bell a moment ago, the biggest reason this goes on. I mean, it’s been going on for a long time, but it’s a great charity that Bob runs that they partnered up with, and he feeds kids that are hungry that don’t get a meal from Friday to Monday and does that all throughout the entire school year. It’s just amazing. And Paul is a big part of that. So Paul and I are with us today from Group Insurance Analysts. Steve from G&O, Steve Horvath from G&O, which we appreciate you guys greatly. Charlie Grimes back in the studio and Larry Unger, of course. Thank you guys as well. Lines are open, 303-477-5600. Okay, Paul, a question for you because we had mentioned earlier that even before you go buy a car, used car, new car, whatever, probably not a bad idea to check to see what’s insurance going to run me for. said vehicle. Now, in some cases, depending upon your income level and so on, not a big deal. You’re going to take one car off, add a new car, off you go, done deal. I get that. But for some, and depending upon the car that they’re looking at, might behoove them to say, okay, what’s my total expense of this car going to be? Not just the maintenance of and the buying of, but what’s the insurance side of that going to be at the end of the day as well. Also, you should look at the registration site as well. That’s a whole other topic I could probably cover at a future date because there’s so many fees now. It looks like a ticker tape coming out when you go get your license plates renewed. But at any rate, when it comes to, you know, and where I’m going with this, Paul, is, you know, there’s been a big push for EVs, which, you know, whatever. I’m not against them. I’m more of one let the car sell itself, and it will if you give it, you know, If you let capitalism do its thing, it’ll sell itself. If it’s really something of value, people realize that, they’ll buy it, whether the government pushes it or not. I also, though, know that depending upon you, your credit, all of that, sometimes, in fact, most times, the EV is going to be more expensive to insure than its gasoline counterpart. Is that true?
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, we are seeing a slight trend. It’s not a huge trend, but a slight one where the EVs are slightly more expensive, mainly because of the cost of repair, so cost of replacement of parts and so forth. Correct. But getting back to considering all your costs, we’ve heard many times from people who just bought a car and they’re like, I didn’t realize the insurance was that much. And it’s just like buying a home, too. You know, it’s more than just the mortgage. Right. Now it’s your insurance that’s added into the mortgage, into that payment, and then all the maintenance that goes on. So, yeah, you’re buying a car, and it goes back to also what you were saying about someone talking about a payment. You know, well, this is your payment. Well, this is just your payment for the car. Right.
SPEAKER 12 :
You’ve got other costs included. That’s right.
SPEAKER 11 :
And then depending on the person… depending on their driving record, that that could have a significant impact on that insurance as well.
SPEAKER 12 :
I don’t know if this is true, but it used to be that even, like, you take a Camaro, because there’s plenty, or a Mustang, looking around, and you take a standard Mustang that might have a V6 versus the top-of-the-line GT, whatever, that’s got the 650-horsepower engine, you know, supercharged V8. Is there going to be a difference in insurance from the bottom end to the top end in that scenario?
SPEAKER 11 :
Well… Because of the horsepower. Right, right. So the insurance companies, their actuaries are going to look at the higher end vehicle, higher power vehicle with the idea that, you know, someone’s going to use that. And if they’re going to use that… The risk goes up. It absolutely goes up. It goes up not only…
SPEAKER 12 :
for the property but for the liability as well gotcha gotcha okay unless there’s some exceptions that which we were talking about earlier in our show is the exceptions for that for some of you listening would be you classify that car as a non-daily driver it’s more of a classic an investment one of those sorts of things you’re going to keep the mileage to x amount per year less than 2000 yeah now things are going to change a little bit but but because it’s not your daily driver right now On the same token, typically people that are buying a car and doing that, no offense, insurance is like last on their list because they got enough money to buy the car and the insurance is secondary to them because that’s a non-issue. But what’s ironic about that as well, though, Paul, is typically they’re the ones paying the least amount for that car because of that scenario versus the guy driving it daily.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, that’s true. And, you know, when the insurance companies… Or putting together their formulas or whatever. They’re looking at all these different factors. I know you hate to talk about politics, but every time we get into these things about factors, the Democrats in the legislature, it’s like a red flag for them. You can’t do that. We don’t want to do that. Well, there’s a reason for using the factors.
SPEAKER 12 :
It should all be equal.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, right, exactly. That’s what they would say. Right, right. Well, it can’t be. Which then makes the better driver, the more responsible person, pay more to subsidize everyone else. That’s right. And so the insurance companies, we could kind of joke about it or criticize them for all these factors that they want to do, but really what are they trying to do? They’re trying to match the premium as close as they can to you.
SPEAKER 12 :
That’s right, to you.
SPEAKER 11 :
So that you pay what you should be paying so that you don’t pay more because someone should pay less. That’s right. And so, honestly, they do a good job on that in auto insurance. But going back to health insurance, we don’t do that anymore. That’s why the premium’s high for everybody.
SPEAKER 12 :
That’s why they skyrocketed.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 12 :
Charlie, you’ve got a comment on the Suburban. Go ahead, Charlie.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, I have a 2011 Chevy Silverado LT 5.3 extended cab. And when I bought the car, it would just go dead. Just everything would stop. It cost me a lot of money to finally figure it out. And who figured it out was a friend who saw me stuck on the side of the road. But what had happened in the big fuse box in the hood… You clamp that down, right? There’s handles on both sides?
SPEAKER 12 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 15 :
One of those handles is cracked.
SPEAKER 12 :
Ah, it wasn’t making a good connection. Yep.
SPEAKER 15 :
Right. He shoved a piece in there and I haven’t had a problem since.
SPEAKER 12 :
Nice. Good job, Charlie. Good job.
SPEAKER 15 :
Second thing, on ordering a new one of those, I have to go ask the marketer to use. Do you know how I make sure I got the right one?
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, you mean on that fuse box, you mean? Yeah. You’re probably only going to find on that. Yeah, on that year, you’re probably only going to find used ones or possibly a rebuilt one. I highly doubt you’re going to be able to buy a new one. You might still through the dealer, but I’ll bet you you’re going to have to buy a used one. Do you think Dorman, somebody like that might doubt it? Yeah. I say I doubt it because I had to put. i say i doubt it because i had to put one of those in my ram truck not that well it’s been a couple of years ago now but in that case i i actually found one through the manufacturer but they were like if you want this you better get it now because these things are just about to be discontinued so buy it now and that was several years ago so when they when these things get to be you know in your case that truck is 14 years old now when they start getting that old it gets harder and harder to get those new parts for
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, and you know, I think a guy found one for me probably three or four years ago, and it was, if he even had the right one, it was new, it was $800. I got to sell this truck. I bought it because I needed to pull a boat, and I can’t be in a boat anymore.
SPEAKER 17 :
Right.
SPEAKER 15 :
So I want to sell it, but I don’t want to screw anybody. So I’m just, my big concern is how do I know I’m getting the right one for my truck? Even if we’re buying, you have to rebuild.
SPEAKER 12 :
That’s where it gets difficult because you’ve got to do a lot of research on that to make sure that you are, in fact, getting the right part. And this is where, I hate to say this, but for novices, it’s, Charlie, really hard because you really have to know the part, what you’re looking at, get the description, get the picture. You can’t necessarily just go off a VIN number on those cars. That won’t always be enough. It really is difficult. I’m being honest on that one. It’s hard.
SPEAKER 15 :
I appreciate it. I appreciate it.
SPEAKER 12 :
Say that again, Charlie?
SPEAKER 15 :
I’d probably have to have it done professionally.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yes, I would. Absolutely. Yes.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay. All right.
SPEAKER 12 :
Charlie, and I’m going to do this. I’m going to put you on hold. We’re running out of time here. And I can’t hear you. You’re kind of garbled. So if you would, see if you can’t get a better connection. I’ll leave you on over the top of the hour. And we’ve got the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem as we’re doing this now. So I’m trying to be a little bit more quiet, guys. So with that, I’ll tell you what we’ll do. We’ll just finish out this hour. We’ll come back here after the top of the hour break. Don’t go anywhere.
