    - THE EXTRA MILE: Encore Presentation of 12-20-25 (1-3-26)

    What really works when it comes to aftermarket performance parts — and what’s just noise, shine, and marketing hype? In this episode of Drive Radio: The Extra Mile, host John Rush pulls back the curtain on the good, the bad, and the ugly of performance upgrades, joined by engineer and producer Luke Cashman. From cold air intakes to exhaust systems, programmers, gears, and suspension, John draws on three decades of hands-on experience in off-road shops and racing to ask the questions every enthusiast should: Are your mods actually adding horsepower… or quietly making your vehicle worse? Are you gaining performance — or just sound and looks? At a mile-high elevation, do the same rules even apply? John explains why altitude changes everything, how misleading dyno tests can fool buyers, and why some “cold air” intakes actually rob power rather than make it. He challenges the myth that louder means faster and explains why a well-designed single exhaust can outperform a dual setup. Thinking about a tuner? Bigger tires? A lift kit? John warns that without a clear blueprint and the right gear ratios, you may be throwing money away — and losing the power you already have. He shows how smart planning, quality parts, and drivetrain efficiency often beat flashy bolt-ons every time. And when it comes to suspension, are you buying real performance… or junk with a glossy brochure? If you’ve ever wondered what upgrades are truly worth it — and which ones could cost you performance, safety, and reliability — this episode is your roadmap. Are you ready to stop guessing and start building smarter?

    Forget the Gear—Are You Ready? The First Prep No One Talks About. 01-02-26

    What if the most important prep you’ll ever make isn’t food storage, generators, or gear—but your health? In this New Year’s episode of Ready Radio, guest host Pastor Bill Anderson (https://www.prep2protectco.com) challenges listeners to rethink preparedness from the inside out. Drawing on his experience as a pastor, master electrician, homesteader, and self-defense instructor, Bill makes a bold case that physical resilience, clarity, and discipline matter more than any supply list. Why does energy independence still fall short without personal endurance? What happens in an emergency if stress hits and your body can’t respond? And are modern conveniences quietly working against our health? Bill walks through real-world insights on solar power, batteries, and grid dependence—but quickly pivots to a deeper conversation about the body as your most critical survival tool. Listeners are challenged to confront mental “strongholds” that keep them stuck—age, injury, time, money—and replace them with simple, practical habits that cost nothing. From sleep, sunlight, walking, breathing, and fasting to reducing processed foods and rediscovering traditional practices like fermentation, this episode connects preparedness, stewardship, and daily discipline in a powerful way. What if small, layered changes could help you think more clearly under stress, recover faster, and need fewer resources when it matters most? This episode doesn’t offer hype—it offers perspective. If you’re serious about being ready for whatever comes next, this conversation might change how you prepare for everything.

    THE EXTRA MILE: Encore Presentation of December 13, 2025 (12-27-25)

    https://Drive-Radio.com: The Extra Mile tackles one of the most expensive—and misunderstood—decisions most people face: buying and financing a car. Host John Rush, joined by co-host Luke, exposes dealership tactics, loan traps, and negotiation mistakes that quietly cost buyers thousands. Why is December the best time to buy a car? John explains how quotas, incentives, and hidden discounts can change the final price—if you know how to find and use them. The conversation turns serious as John breaks down negative equity, long-term loans, and why rolling debt from one vehicle into the next can spiral out of control faster than most buyers realize. How do depreciation and front-loaded interest really work? And how can simple tools like amortization schedules help you predict whether you’ll be upside down years before you sign? John confronts myths head-on: Is paying cash really the smartest move, or a costly mistake? Why do dealers urgently steer conversations to monthly payments instead of the total price? And why can some “cheap” cars explode into disastrous financial traps before you even realize it? Using a real-world example—a young buyer who paid off her car early—John gives a clear, practical roadmap for protecting yourself. Covering pre-approval, trade-in timing, and essential sales tax math, this episode equips listeners to make more confident, informed car-buying decisions. Are you ready to outsmart the dealership—armed with the strategies you need to save money and avoid costly mistakes? Tune in and take control of your next car purchase.
