A Gentle Rear-Ending: Automotive Recalls Part 3


Listen Later

This week, we're not changing for anyone including ourselves, Brianne will not change her oil, it's Ford's turn to get in the pond, Melanie won't permit herself to be laid in a Pinto, and spiders are expected to be your palate cleanser.

Content warnings: cars without brakes, non-graphic mention of burn injuries, burning car accident death, seriously injured 13 year old, deaths of 3 teenage girls, upsetting description of burning death.
