so we're going back a few years to look
0:03
at this Memorial Day parade and most of
0:06
it's replayed here at 20 to 40 times
0:09
actual speed I just want to get you to
0:13
think about taking your vintage Mopar
0:16
out on Parade where people can see it I
0:19
mean there's nothing to increase the uh
0:23
value of your Mopar then people really
0:26
starting to see it and appreciate it for
0:28
what it is it's a lot of fun especially
0:31
when people on the sidelines shout out
0:33
that they remember what theirs was like
0:36
and they remember how reliable it was or
0:39
they have other memories of it uh if
0:42
you've got a valiant like mine then
0:44
people will remember the one that their
0:45
parents had or their grandparents or if
0:47
they're old enough the ones that they
0:49
had and they'll have good memories of it
0:52
and you don't really need uh a
0:55
particularly classical classic car um my
0:58
Val's not really worth very much maybe
1:01
$5,000 at best uh this Daytona in front
1:04
of me is a much newer looking car but
1:07
you know people love the Daytona they
1:09
love the Valiant they love all the cars
1:11
in this
1:13
parade this past year somebody had a
1:16
king that they were driving and
1:19
the crowd really loved that car even
1:21
though it's powered by a lawn mower
1:23
engine so you don't have to have a
1:24
muscle
1:25
car and you know they like the trucks
1:29
and the parades are pretty easy to do as
1:31
you can see the main thing that you need
1:33
is a nice low idle and good braks and
1:38
you can run all the traffic lights you
1:40
like and I personally like being on the
1:42
middle of the road over the double
1:43
yellow line because that's something I
1:45
can't do all the time the only downside
1:48
to this parade is if you follow
1:50
everybody into the park and then you've
1:52
got these massive speed
1:58
bumps anyway I hope that I'll see you
2:01
next Memorial Day this is Dave signing
