Ray & Chris share the honor of interviewing their literary friend Matt Stone who talks about his latest car related book titled "Bullitt:The Cars & People behind Steve McQueen". The subject of this iconic movie, actor and the cars involved has never been done before, and it takes a real car-guy to tackle this job and Matt was certainly up to the task.

In a rare twist of fate Ray & Chris both worked on car antenna's this week, a caller asks why his radio has no reception, and Joe D. passes on his recommendation for a Chrysler scan tool. Ray relates a victorious win over his dry well when he was able to fish out his fallen reading glasses and was able to finish rebuilding a Ford Autolite carburetor.

Do you have a transmission or dishwasher leak you can't fix? The boys talked about how they'd go about solving their own on this show. Applying creative leverage to big fasteners, and how to deal with ancient car clocks & sagging headliners kept us amused also. On the tech side, talk turned to purchasing a good scan tool to diagnose wheel speed sensors & other computer issues on our newer cars.

The big news this week is that Ray's GTO is home after the paint job and trim installation and the thumbs started popping up already. This led to a discussion about the complexities of building an older car vs the robotic process first used on the Ford Taurus. California's 2035 ban on gas engines, diagnosing an Infinity motor mount & the restoration of a Honda 750 motorcycle also get talked about.

The boys try to diagnose a non-working vacuum advance mechanism in Chris's car, then quickly shift to talk with guest Carl Anthony from Automoblog.net. Ray ruminates about swapping his Mazda 3 for a Toyota FJ, which leads a caller to ask on which axle to mount his new truck tires. We wrap by talking about the article on Automoblog that covers winter car prep.

Ray & Chris talk about a listener's '59 Olds Super 88 project, and define the difference between a show car and a driver. Another listener, Colin, rides with the Prince of Darkness in his MG and is restoring a Fiat Spider, which got Ray's full attention. On the technical side, headlight relay theory & saggy sun visor repair round out the hour this week.

The boys reminisce about the return of Cousin Bruce Morrow to NY AM radio, then dive right into the topic of how to best sell off the old car junk in their respective collections. With the help of a caller that topic morphs into talk of buying old audio gear, and what it was like driving 60's Ford Hi Performance cars many years ago.

The boys interview the noted graphic portrait artist Keith Sturgeon who works in the very unique media using only pinstripe lines. We talk about his portraiture, as well as his work in the custom car and motorcycle scene. Along the way we still get to cover a few repair topics and dance around Ray's flaky Internet connection once again.

Among a mass of cobbled up wires and cables Ray is able to connect via the Internet this week. Chris talks about "repair problem stack-up" while working on his car, and the boys kick around ways to fix his dented oil pan. Chassis John calls in and talks about the Vintage Air A/C system he's installing for a customer, Billy G. swaps a big floor jack for a smaller one, and the boys discuss the problem solving relay test kit that Ray shows off.

Internet issues aside, the boys soldiered on once again & pulled off a show where Ray talked about eating White Castle "road food" in his car while driving, & caller Christian talks about driving to a local racetrack for a "daddy-daughter" day. Ray complains about installing trim parts on a car with a fresh paint job, then mentions a useful pressurized cleaning gun sold by Matco Tools.
