    - 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.

    Replace or Preserve? Smarter Roofing in a New Insurance Era. (2-7-26)

    This episode of https://FixItRadio.com pulls back the curtain on one of the most expensive—and misunderstood—parts of homeownership: your roof. Host John Rush is joined by Dave Hart of Roof Savers of Colorado (https://roofsaversco.com/) and insurance expert Paul Leuenberger (https://www.americannational.com/agent?s=paulleuenberger-683) for a candid discussion on roofing, insurance, and personal responsibility. The conversation challenges the old mindset of “wait for a hailstorm and file a claim.” With deductibles rising, ACV policies becoming the norm, and insurers tightening requirements, listeners are shown why preventative maintenance may now be the smartest financial move. What actually happens when shingles dry out? Can roofs be preserved instead of replaced? And how do insurance claims today follow you for years? The episode also exposes the risks of storm chasers, rushed claims, and misleading inspections—along with how homeowners can protect themselves before making costly mistakes. From RoofMax treatments and financing options to real-world insurance math, this hour reframes roofing as a long-term strategy rather than a reaction to disaster. If you want fewer surprises, more control over your costs, and peace of mind before the next storm hits, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

    Prepared Everywhere: What To Carry, What You Can’t, and What Matters Most. (2-6-26)

    What does it really mean to be ready—not just at home, but everywhere you go? In this episode of https://Ready-Radio.com, host John Rush is joined by Pastor Bill Anderson of https://www.prep2protectco.com for a deep, practical conversation on everyday carry, situational awareness, and real-world preparedness. They explore how complacency creeps in during routine days and travel, why seasonal changes matter, and how mindset often matters more than gear. From flying and hotel safety to medical readiness on the road, they unpack the small decisions that can prevent big problems—before you ever need self-defense tools. What should you carry when you can’t carry everything? How fast could you move if something went wrong? Are your habits repeatable under stress? The discussion shifts from travel to daily life, diving into constant carry, holster choice, firearm retention, and why training must reflect how you actually live—not how you perform at the range. They challenge listeners to rethink routines, question assumptions, and build systems that work when life gets uncomfortable, chaotic, or unexpected. This episode isn’t about fear—it’s about clarity. About being observant, intentional, and prepared for the what-ifs that most people never think through until it’s too late. Are you just going through the motions—or are you truly ready?

    2026 Toyota Prius Nightshade Edition

    Is this really a Prius… or something else entirely? 🤔 What happens when Toyota takes one of the most recognizable cars on the road and gives it a bold new attitude? A plug-in hybrid Prius in Nightshade trim, finished in a head-turning Karashi yellow, shows up—and suddenly people are doing double takes. How far can you really go on electric power alone—and what does that mean for daily driving, errands, or even a last-minute date night? ⚡🚗 Does the Nightshade package offer more than just looks? And has the Prius finally crossed the line from “practical” to genuinely stylish? From blacked-out accents and premium tech to charging convenience, fuel economy, and a price point that might surprise you, this review digs into why the 2026 Toyota Prius Nightshade Plug-In Hybrid may not be the Prius you remember. Love it or hate it… You’ll want to hear this one before judging it for yourself. Have a question about a car review or a general automotive question?

    2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz XRT

    Is It a Truck… or Is It a Car? and Does It Actually Deliver? 👀 This week on Rush To Reason and Drive Radio, John and Richard take a closer look at the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz XRT—a vehicle that refuses to fit neatly into a single category. With turbocharged power, a new transmission, and just enough truck bed to change how you haul your gear, this compact pickup sparks some honest debate. Who is this vehicle really for? Urban drivers? Weekend adventurers? Someone with a tight garage but big expectations? And does the updated powertrain finally hit the sweet spot at Colorado altitude? From pricing surprises to interior comfort, fuel economy questions, and that not-quite-a-truck, not-quite-an-SUV identity—this review leaves you with one big takeaway: you won’t know if it’s for you until you hear the full story. Curious why they say “give it a chance”? 🎬 Hit play and find out why the Santa Cruz XRT might just surprise you. Have a question about a car review or a general automotive question?
