This week is an enlightening show with talk about how to properly adjust your car mirrors, & the new MMR "blown bulb curse". New caller Nick professes his love for the early Mazda Miata's, which takes the boys down the road talking about Triumph's, Fiat's and old Honda's. The show turns back to lights with an LED headlight upgrade for the FJ Cruiser, and how to adjust your headlights at home.

The boys talk about finding unrelated problems while doing an oil change, then Ray rants about people who don't stop correctly for red light cameras. Stories of challenging bulb and battery replacements lead to another rant about tailgating drivers. Dune Buggies used in Shriner's parades round out the rest of this raucous hour of automotive content.

The ago old conundrum over whether to use Dino or synthetic motor oil is busted when
Chris finds the determining factor at Walmart. Oil change intervals and a somewhat weird flush technique gets discussed by the boys, and a surprise younger listener calls in to test our car knowledge. A recent government mandate regarding the sale of E15 fuel gets kicked around, as does a DMV mandate for motorcycle exhaust system inspections. The group grumbles but moves on.

The story of GAK spilled in a Rogue cup holder gets resolved this week. The question of when to purchase a specialty tool leads to a smack-down in a Maryland Harbor Freight parking lot where MatcoMan Brian is hunting down scofflaws. The pros and cons of doing car maintenance is talked about, as is the lack of conscientious car owners.

Dune Buggy fine points are discussed in depth with our expert "Pirate Paul" and a caller, then noted author and Barn Find Hunter Tom Cotter calls in to share some of his secrets for finding hidden automotive gems right in your own neighborhood. Tom's new book works into the conversation and the specific differences between collecting and hoarding are covered by the panel.

The boys hit the ground running by talking about what makes a car collectable. The fine art of identifying an old Dune Buggy body is discussed with resident expert "Pirate Paul", who built and owns one of the finest examples on Long Island. The Brooklyn boy comes out in Chris with talk about the infamous "Godfather" sandwich that's only found in select Brooklyn deli's.

Ray explains the work that went into the Spring cleaning of his FJ Cruiser, which leads the boys to talk about cabin air filter maintenance benefits. A mysterious bent rim and a denied claim from a Nissan dealership keep the talk flowing for a while before cup holder technology takes over the show. Cracked stock steering wheels on 53 year old cars and the installation of a late model Hemi engine in a PT Cruiser round out this hour.

Chris explains how and why he's been using automotive Bodno on his house repair projects, and what product to use for ceramic tile resurfacing. Ray asks if there's ever been a car in the stable that boosted driver confidence, or arrogance. Hardware takes over the show with clutch head and Reed Prince screws taking center stage, followed by the boys favorite heating tool, the Inductor.

Following the topicality of last week's show the boys clarified the differences between a Power Probe and a test light, then with rising gas prices getting the best of us all the talk turned to what it costs per year just to park your car in the driveway. The option of having a car with a millennial anti-theft device (manual transmission), and motorcycle travel rounded out the super saver conversation. Brake control module diagnosis & replacement rounds out this hour of automotive fun.

Ray relates what it took to get his Mazda to pass a NY state inspection by using an oxygen sensor "cheater" and how he treated it kindly afterward. Bob Tasca's 8 second record breaking pass in a full bodied fully electric powered car is talked about, as are some older EV race-cars. Dave Barden from the Power Probe company calls in to talk about their new cordless soldering iron and short detector. As is the norm on this show the talk soon turns to the benefits of optimizing ground connections on any car.
