Cars give me cognitive issues!

Published: 18 June 2024

Mickey confesses Ford-lust, but it wasn’t enough to entice our guest to show up. Misty shifts wet noodles trying to haul a loom across The Netherlands and learns what we all knew already: she won’t like any car as much as her MX-5. Cognitive issues going from one car to another has Ben using his wipers to signal turns, while Misty’s car has lady-humps to guide the way. Tim has the rational and historical perspectives as always, and we learn about the automotive origins of QR codes.

I Kept The Car

Published: 2 April 2024

We get off to a depraved start with a quick discussion of non-automotive products from automotive companies, such as magic wands and earth-movers. We’re also happy to announce that VW have brought back their currywurst! Mickey is planning to go car-shopping and the list of things to look at is getting crazy. Things devolve quickly as usual. We give Italian and French cars some love, despite (or because of?) French weirdness. Grand Trivia Auto keeps on truckin’ and the stirrups are enormous!!

Drive Like a Gazelle

Published: 28 March 2024

We meet Susanne, who has recently competed in the 2023 Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles. This is an ISO 14001 certified rally raid in which all of the drivers and navigators are women. They compete to drive on or off-road to multiple way points each day in the shortest distance possible, without using GPS. We find out what vehicles are the most popular to use and where to find them, how to communicate where few people speak English, how to navigate without GPS, how much does this cost and how does one get started in learning how to drive in this kind of event? Our trivia question concerns automotive production in Delaware. As a bonus, we find out what is the best kind of cheese if you are lactose intolerant.
