An Ambulance Ride Back To The '80s

Published: 12 January 2021


Amanda tells us all about ambulances, and she should know since she’s been in a few–luckily she wasn’t the patient! Dawn takes us back to the ’80s for a fond look at a weird but fun era in which cars managed to be cool despite the world conspiring against them. Mickey still wants a Mister Two and Ben confesses his lust for a Scirocco. IROC-n-Roll! Put on your parachute pants, mousse-up your hair, and come along for the ride! Be careful if you can’t drive 55 though, because our Grand Trivia Auto question is about extremely high fines.

Dawn on the Autobahn explores traffic signs of the world, and Mickey’s got a thing about dealer stickers.

We continue our investigation of listeners’ worst car experiences, and learn about the early days of automotive insurance.
