We had done some sleuthing around and found a company that makes certified aftermarket seat covers made to work with Side Impact Seat covers. We talk with a Caller about airbags and In-Laws. We also discuss our time driving around the country with Rally North America.

Ashley talks about moving a friend form California to Mississippi and how long the drive across Texas is. I tell a story about brakes that started on fire during a youth group trip.

On this weeks show Tom totally derails Ashley's idea about talking about getting your car to 1,000,000 miles. He brings up an article he saw about an autonomous tractor trailer that drove a load of butter from California to Quakertown Pa. This started all the awesome calls about self driving cars. Paul believes self driving cars will cause more congestion and want larger mass transit while others like Roy who is blind would like to have the freedom of having his own self driving car to take him places. No doubt self driving cars are coming. We also talk about the effects of self driving cars on the workforce. 

Andrea called in with an awesome question about seat covers and side impact airbags that are in the seats. Roy called in to rescue Ashley and talk about high mileage cars.

Shout out to our producer Noel for getting us a rim shot for all of Ashley's Puns.

In this weeks show we talked about how to prepare for winter driving. We also discussed some emerging vehicle technology and some tech from the past. Ashley is back at it with the puns and Tom talks about how his dad thought him to keep his butt in the seat while driving. Tune in for some good laughs.

On this episode Tom opens up about his first automotive love and talks about the days spent at the "Kerny" in Hamburg Pa. Ashley talks about the little yellow car that stole her heart in California. We talk to Jane about tire rotations and tire manufactures recommendations for tire rotations. Paul called about buying a warranty on his 2015 Chevy Cruze and wanted if it was worth buying. Randy called to discuss tire pressure numbers on the side wall of tires. 

We get them every day, the robocalls telling you that your car may qualify for an extended warranty. These calls are infuriating just like talking politics with family on Thanksgiving. That is why we thought it would make a good topic for our Thanksgiving show. On today's show we discuss different types of manufactures warranties and what they cover. We also discuss how aftermarket warranties work and what they actually cover. We make some bad jokes along the way and Ashley pulls out some trivia about the first automotive recall.

Today's topic is tires. We discuss snow tire construction and what to look for when buying a good snow tire. We also discuss buying a used car, hand held tuners, oil and filter quality and that Ashley never never checks the oil in her cars.

On this show we talk about how the government does fuel testing. We talk about what can bring your fuel economy down and talk a little bit about start stop technology.
