    Encore Presentation of May 9, 2026 Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Saturdays from 9 am to 10 am MT. https://FixItRadio.com This episode of Fix It Radio takes a powerful and deeply practical look at one of the most overlooked aspects of homeownership—personal and home security. What hidden vulnerabilities around your home could criminals already be noticing? Are overgrown bushes, unlocked side doors, garage windows, or predictable routines quietly putting your family at risk? John Rush and Larry Unger walk through real-world stories involving porch thefts, suspicious strangers, stalking incidents, garage break-ins, and even tragic personal experiences that reinforce why homeowners can no longer afford to ignore situational awareness. The episode explores inexpensive but effective ways to harden a home mechanically before spending money on electronics—everything from securing garage doors with vise grips to reinforcing sliding doors, improving locks, and identifying blind spots around the property. The conversation also includes fascinating discussions about smart deadbolt technology, layered home security systems, personal safety while fueling vehicles, and why burglars often avoid homes with dogs. The show repeatedly stresses that true protection is not about paranoia—it’s about preparation, awareness, and slowing criminals down long enough to deter them altogether. Whether you live in a townhome, suburb, or rural acreage, today’s world requires vigilance, preparation, and practical common sense.

    - THE EXTRA MILE: Car Dealer Tactics Every Buyer Needs To Know - Part 1. (5-16-26)

    This episode of https://Drive-Radio.com - The Extra Mile takes you behind the scenes of the automotive industry, exposing some of the most common dealership tactics, financing tricks, and repair shop myths drivers encounter when buying or maintaining a vehicle. John Rush and Luke Cashman break down a viral “40 Dirty Lies Car Dealerships Don’t Want You to Know” video, separating legitimate consumer concerns from outdated internet misinformation while offering decades of real-world automotive experience. From emotional car-buying traps and hidden financing tactics to extended warranties, trade-in negotiations, and dealership add-ons, the episode delivers practical advice designed to help drivers avoid expensive mistakes. John explains why focusing only on monthly payments can quietly cost buyers thousands, why consumers should never surrender their keys during negotiations, and how negative equity can keep drivers financially trapped for years. The episode also dives into modern vehicle maintenance realities, including transmission service myths, brake inspections, oil-change intervals, fuel injector cleaning, and the growing complexity of today’s engines. You’ll hear honest discussions about which maintenance services are worthwhile, which dealership upsells deserve skepticism, and why quality diagnostics matter more than scare tactics. The hour closes with discussions about ceramic coatings, paint protection packages, certified pre-owned inspections, and the importance of understanding exactly what dealerships are and are not providing when they market premium services. Throughout the show, John reinforces Drive Radio's core mission: helping drivers make smarter automotive decisions, protect their wallets, and avoid costly surprises down the road.
