The boys convey their love for the "Boatail" Riviera from the 70's then turn their attention to cars they've owned but don't have pictures of, like Ray's Escort GT. That car brings up the lost art of flat towing & its dangers. Carl Anthony from Automoblog.net joins the show and talks about the parts supply chain, new car telemetrics, and asks, "Who's the F&I guy?" The current line of Escort radar detectors finishes up this hour of fun.

This show starts with Ray's rant over having to pay return shipping on brake caliper cores, but things calm down when caller Paul reports on the Englishtown swap meet and his "Top 10 Best" show award. Electrical system and axle failures get some coverage, then the high tech topic of "Hydro-Dipping" car parts is discussed.

The boys talk about the high honor bestowed on Ray's GTO at the MALBA show where it won the "Best Engineering" award, then Tony DeFeo from "Uncle Tony's Garage" YouTube channel calls in to talk shop. Besides his Slant 6 racer, Slant 6 Miata and the other car builds Tony has going on, the guys still find a way to sneak in their love of Pork Bracioli - you'll only hear segues like this on MotorMouth radio folks!

Since Ray brought his recently finished GTO to this years MALBA car show the boys decided what better way to commemorate the event than by re-playing the show they did a live remote from. Back in 2018 Ray & Joe had the pleasure of sitting with Marty Schorr of Motion Performance fame at this prestigious car show by the bay. An unexpected appearance from "Dartboard Laura" made this event one to remember.

The boys are back on track with some hardcore automotive diagnostics and
advice this week. Kicking off the fun is talk of why you should insure a project car even if
its not going to see the road for a few years or more. Chris reports that changing the starter
relay in his Le Baron solved the no-start problem, then Ray talked about how the wrong use
of Never-Seize can turn a guy into a Tin Man clone. Sharing cars with friends dredges up some
old stories, and a caller rounds out the show by asking how to test and diagnose a starter relay.

Chris' Chrysler Le Baron has a frustrating starting problem that leads to the boys taking about electrical appliance service life and failures. Joe D. calls in to recommend that the starter relay be checked before anything else is done to the Le Baron, then the talk turns to Chris' failed pressure washer and how to revive it.

Broadcasting remotely due to the hurricane that wasn't, our boys cover all sorts of car issues this week. An expensive 67 Caddy water pump, a 69 Corvette carburetor problem and an 83 Le Baron carb rebuild keep them busy, then to top it off a caller talks about tuning a 74 Mazda rotary carb! Carbs of another sort take over when ray claims he had real NY style pizza in N. Carolina, and tells you where to get it too.

Our intrepid trio kick the show off by asking "what song will you stop at a yellow light to hear", compare smooth fuel injection to a Quadrajet surge, then hear from a caller with an auto show recap. Poor Chrysler build quality, a P.T. Cruiser that won't accept fuel on a fill up & an odd combo of carburetors on a Rat Rod round out the show.

The boys talk about what the best type of rental car is for a long trip,
then field a question about a Volvo SUV choice. Japanese vs European car picks are
discussed, then the show gets charged up as the talk turns to electric vehicles,
Tesla charging stations & the pros & cons of owning a battery powered car.

This weeks question has been posed; "we know it sucks, but does
it blow too?" That's what a caller asked Mr. Jeff Craig from SKF, the makers of
the MityVac line of brake bleeding and fluid transfer equipment. Jeff hung on, never
flinched, and fielded the question like the true car guy he is. Our education on these
pressing subjects continued for the rest of the show.
