    - THE EXTRA MILE: Fuel, Oil, and Transmission Truths Every Driver Should Know. (2-14-26)

    🎙️ Drive Radio: The Extra Mile — Additives, Myths, and Mechanical Truths What really helps your vehicle—and what’s just expensive hype? In this episode of https://Drive-Radio.com: The Extra Mile, host John Rush takes listeners deep into the world of automotive additives, separating proven maintenance from marketing myths. Are there truly “miracle” products that fix engines, boost fuel economy, or make fluids last forever? Or are some of these claims quietly costing you performance, longevity, and money? John explains why top-tier fuel matters, how inconsistent gasoline complicates diagnostics, and why buying quality fuel up front can prevent drivability issues later. He breaks down fuel additives that actually serve a purpose—and warns against pump add-ons and “repair-in-a-can” solutions that can damage engines or exhaust systems. The conversation shifts under the hood to engine oil, direct-injection engines, and cold starts, revealing why modern engines demand precise oil viscosity, regular service intervals, and high-quality filters. John also tackles common myths around extended oil change intervals and “lifetime” fluids—especially when it comes to automatic transmissions, which he describes as one giant hydraulic system that thrives on clean fluid. From fuel stability in classic cars to the real cost of deferred maintenance, this episode asks a simple question with big financial implications: Do you want to pay now—or pay later? If you want fewer surprises, lower repair bills, and a vehicle that lasts, this is an Extra Mile worth taking.

    The Hidden Forces That Decide What Your House Is Really Worth. 2-14-26

    This Valentine’s Day edition of https://FixItRadio.com blends practical home advice with bigger-picture insights every homeowner should hear. John Rush and Steve Horvath tackle winter watering during dry months, explaining why trees, shrubs, and lawns still need attention—even when temperatures fluctuate. How do you protect your landscaping without risking frozen lines, and why does it matter more than you think? The conversation then shifts to one of the most overlooked homeowner topics: what actually devalues a home. From bad neighbors and changing neighborhoods to mismatched remodels, John explains how well-intended upgrades—like basement finishes or tub-to-shower conversions—can quietly hurt resale value if they don’t match the rest of the house. When is a renovation an investment, and when is it just money you’ll never get back? Listeners also get an inside look at the real cost of development, zoning, and city approvals. Why do new homes take years to build before construction even begins? How do regulations, HOAs, and construction defect laws affect housing affordability and long-term value? Add in emerging ideas like 3D-printed homes, winter plumbing maintenance, and wildfire access concerns, and this episode becomes a crash course in protecting your biggest asset. If your home is more than just a place to live—if it’s part of your financial future—this episode asks the right questions and gives you the insight to make smarter decisions before costly mistakes are made.

    When 911 Can’t Reach You: Medical Readiness Starts Now. (2-13-26)

    What happens if help can’t reach you for minutes, hours, or even days? In this episode of https://Ready-Radio.com, host John Rush dives deep into medical preparedness, asking the questions most people avoid until it’s too late. If hospitals are overwhelmed, pharmacies are empty, and the power is out, would you know how to stop bleeding, manage infection, or stabilize an injury long enough to survive? John walks listeners through real-world scenarios—from EMP-style outages to everyday emergencies—highlighting how quickly bleeding becomes fatal, why most homes lack proper trauma gear, and which medical supplies truly matter when systems fail. He challenges listeners to rethink first-aid kits, rethink medications, and rethink personal responsibility. Do you have tourniquets, compression bandages, and the right over-the-counter meds? Do you rely on prescriptions—and if so, how long could you last without refills? The conversation also explores hydration, travel readiness, and medication storage, including practical listener tips on freezing dry medications, building go-bags, and keeping printed medical information when electronics won’t work. This isn’t fear-driven prep—it’s calm, practical planning meant to buy time when minutes matter. If a medical storm struck… would you be ready?

    - THE EXTRA MILE: Totaled, Undervalued, or Both? What Insurance Won’t Tell You. (2-7-26)

    Drive Radio: The Extra Mile pulls back the curtain on what really happens after an accident—and why so many drivers unknowingly leave thousands of dollars on the table. Host John Rush is joined by Burke Payne (https://www.bpautoappraisals.com/), who explains how insurance valuations often fall short, especially for total losses and diminished-value claims. Are computer algorithms and rushed settlements quietly costing you money? And why are middle-of-the-road daily drivers sometimes hit harder than classics or exotics? Burke walks listeners through how total-loss valuations work, why direct deposits can lock you into a bad deal, and how invoking the appraisal clause shifts the battle away from the car owner and onto an expert who understands the system. The conversation then dives into diminished value—why a perfectly repaired vehicle is still worth less the moment an accident appears on its history, and when it’s worth fighting back. The hour wraps with a candid look at the classic and collector car market, including insights from recent auctions, shifting demand, aging collectors, and why waiting too long to sell can erase real value. From estate planning to insurance coverage to smart timing in a volatile market, this episode asks a critical question: do you actually know what your vehicle—or collection—is worth right now? If you’ve ever been in an accident, own a specialty vehicle, or expect to inherit one, this is a must-listen.
