Looking For Signs of Life

Guest Robert Drake wants to talk more about the labeling of battery terminals, and asks “What is it about a Dodge Charger that makes some idiot think they’re immune to traffic laws?” Mickey brings up a security question for keyless entry vehicles. Dawn is On The Autobahn. Her window is fixed, but the seatbelt is broken. And the CD changer is not doing well, either. Mickey grinds some gears and the words “nasal deployed meatball armature” get worked into the conversation.
