Classic Car Dr; Ron starts this "spooktacular" show from Halloween asking questions about Humpty Dumpty and draws comparisons between auto repair and fairy tales.  He relates a story from the shop of a 2008 Toyota Sienna, a drop in with no appointment, that despite best efforts, keeps coming back with new problems. The Sienna seems haunted as it falls apart in front of Ron & the crews eyes this week. He closes the segment asking the question "Is fixing cars like a fairy tale" sometimes? You decide. After the break he takes calls; a listener want to know why his 4 tire pressure gauges all read different and which one is the right one? Of course, Ron breaks it down for us all to understand and make a decision. Ron also admits he has to throw a tire pressure gauge away on a regular basis as they don't keep their calibration. The Car Dr closes the segment helping a caller (and all of us) with tire purchase decisions. How to pick a good tire and why certain tires are better to stay away from. Avoid the pitfalls and listen in!

Classic Car Doctor, Date Unknown?  The Older Volvo Phone Call From Florida

Welcome to todays Classic Car Doctor episode! Ron finishes a call from the previous episode about a Ford Taurus with a miss fire fault. The ignition system came 2 ways this year, 2001. A coil on plug stand along version and a coil on plug with ignition wires. It matters not because Ron helps us understand the proper method to test ignition coils and systems using some basic, affordable test equipment. 
Next up is a call from NYC regarding a 2005 Honda Civic with a rattling front suspension noise. The chain store that replaced front struts in the vehicle says its not their part and the Honda dealer says it is. The vehicle owner is stuck in the middle and he turns to Ron for the answer. A tough spot for sure but The Car Doctor has the answers and ideas to help. 
Lansing Michigan is calling in next; Tim has a low level vibration noise in his ES300 Lexus that no one seems to be able to repair. But Ron has some answers and they are simple solutions. Tune in to find out!
Last today; well, its an Obi-Wan Kanobi moment. "Help me Car Doctor, you're my only hope" from a caller with a 2006 GMC Sierra that won't start in high humidity conditions. Parts have been replaced but testing has not been done to any great degree. Listen in as Ron springs into action to offer several solutions and possibilities for all to learn from.
