We get off to a depraved start with a quick discussion of non-automotive products from automotive companies, such as magic wands and earth-movers. We’re also happy to announce that VW have brought back their currywurst! Mickey is planning to go car-shopping and the list of things to look at is getting crazy. Things devolve quickly as usual. We give Italian and French cars some love, despite (or because of?) French weirdness. Grand Trivia Auto keeps on truckin’ and the stirrups are enormous!!

Keis, Corvettes and Cappuccinos
We discuss what it takes to bring in a car to the USA that is not already sold here by the manufacturer. What if you want to bring in that Lada, Nissan Skyline, Porsche 959, Honda Acty or Suzuki Cappuccino into the the USA? Is it better to order up a new one, get a used one or get an “antique” one? Can you do this yourself or should you get a broker? What legal stipulations must one follow to get it through customs? Does it take Bill Gates levels of money to do this?
In our trivia question, we find out what was the only year without a Corvette?
Misty admits to being late, but the test came back negative…
