EV demand slows down, a classic American brand hints at a sedan return, and BMW flat-out says software is now the core of the car. That’s a lot of change for one Saturday, and we talk through what it means for real drivers and real enthusiasts when factories idle, platforms get shared, and “digital functions” become as important as horsepower. We hit the week’s automotive news from multiple angles: GM’s EV production pause in Detroit, the surprising direction of Buick’s future lineup, and the broader race where legacy automakers are trying to keep pace with Tesla and the rapid-development mindset coming from Chinese electric vehicle makers. Along the way, we get nostalgic about the old auto show era of clay models and concept shells, then contrast it with today’s reality where the biggest upgrades often arrive as software, screens, and updates. Then we switch gears into pure car culture with a mini deep-dive on the Model T Ford launch. If you’ve always believed it was black from day one or that the moving assembly line started immediately, you’ll want to hear the details. We wrap with a practical, boots-on-the-ground guide to swap meets in Texas, including why events like Lone Star Park, Conroe’s Hot Rods of Texas, and the massive Pate Swap Meet still matter if you love classic car parts, project builds, and the thrill of finding the right piece. Subscribe for more weekly automotive news and car culture, share this with a friend who still loves the hunt for parts, and leave us a review.

Model T Ford and the Birth of Modern Transportation | In Wheel Time
The Ford Model T gets talked about like a simple origin story, but the real history is full of weird details and big misunderstandings. We walk through the facts that actually explain how the Model T changed American transportation and manufacturing, including what it cost in 1908, why “black only” became a thing, and how Ford’s choices around simplicity and efficiency helped put everyday drivers behind the wheel. We also clear up a major myth: the Model T didn’t launch with the moving assembly line, and the timing of that innovation matters if you want to understand how mass production really took over. From there, we widen the lens to the human side of early cars and car culture. Starting a Model T could be physical and even dangerous, and the engineering workarounds like early ignition solutions show just how fast the auto industry was evolving. We also connect the Model T to a bigger story about roads and infrastructure, because the car shows up before America has proper roads, then helps create the demand to build them. Then we shift gears into practical present-day fun: swap meets. We talk about how parts hunting has changed, which Texas swap meets still feel like the real deal, and the simple rules that make the day a win, like bringing cash, arriving early, and preparing to walk a lot.  Finally, Don shares a straight-shooting car review of the 2026 Subaru Uncharted EV, covering design, interior tech, comfort, range expectations, pricing, and competitors, plus a teaser about what happens when you actually commit to plugging in a plug-in hybrid.
