Happy New Year from Howard and Marian! (And you thought they wouldn't remember.)

Published: 9 February 2021


We recorded this show on New Year’s weekend while sitting around in pajamas drinking mimosas. Dawn on the Autobahn explores winter inclement weather driving safety tips, while the guys ask “why the hell are you on the road to begin with?” What grinds Mickey’s gears THIS week? Replacing buttons with touchscreens on the dashboard. Listener Karen describes the braking problems with her worst car, a ’72 Dodge Dart. This leads Ben to nostalgically recall his own early history with a brake failure. And listener Kathy hated her Chevy Caprice Classic, which leads Dave to nostalgically pick a fight with his college roommate Paul over parallel parking. Reddit asks about power steering issues in a salvage title, and we discuss the Cunningham’s automotive preferences.

Run-Away-Go in a Winnebago

Published: 26 January 2021


We delve into the history of the Lincoln brand. In Cultural Collision, Dave and Dawn hit the road to discuss the history of the motorhome and its role in American culture. Our guest Arp brings us a discussion on “The Zen of Options” and asks the question: “Do we need rain sensing wipers and ventilated seats?” Ben takes a moment to talk about convertibles. (No! Dawn still doesn’t have her rear window fixed yet!) In listener questions, we discuss why you might smell a horse in your defroster. Marisa writes in with her worst car story: a Renault Le Car.
