Today, we still have a full table with a rowdy bunch of newcomers. Mickey asks a potentially dangerous question: what would you rather wrench on? The gang discusses why you should not use Fram and other oil changing information. Plus, you heard it here: there is a "stupid fee."

May 07, 2018 Eric? Where are you?
It's another lovely day in beautiful Atlanta Georgia, where the rambling podcasters discuss cars. Mickey brings up the subject of engine breaking - Yay or Nay? Gregs talks about chump cars. Ben warns us to look out for turn 5! Then there's Beka and Becca, who seem to have their own conversation going on. What could they be plotting? But we all wonder - where is Eric? And why is Mickey being asked to smack Beka??

March 22, 2018 Mickey Fails Geography
Things get chaotic as Mickey, Greg, Ben, Becca, and Beka all compete to talk about their favorite topic - CARS!! Amid the chatter, Ben talks about the current ownership of Lotus. Greg tells Takata tales. More on minivans, LS swapping, and electrics, of course! Becca dreams of a Tesla, or of putting an electric motor in her civic. The pack of podcasters reminisce for The Revenger. Fear it! And what the heck did Beka write on the white board?? The world may never know.
