There is no more Georgia story than “I went to buy a tractor, and brought home a car.”

After a strange discussion of supply deliveries to a brothel in Amsterdam, we welcome back our old friend Greg Hinze to discuss rehabilitating his MG Midget.

We leverage Misty’s knowledge of rehabilitating sewing machines and looms to rebuild a Midget! Ben has notes on using superglue, condoms and diaphragms to get the car running. Mickey tries desperately to keep us on topic, but all we could agree to is that Greg must not name the car Bridgette the Midget.

Mickey confesses Ford-lust, but it wasn’t enough to entice our guest to show up. Misty shifts wet noodles trying to haul a loom across The Netherlands and learns what we all knew already: she won’t like any car as much as her MX-5. Cognitive issues going from one car to another has Ben using his wipers to signal turns, while Misty’s car has lady-humps to guide the way. Tim has the rational and historical perspectives as always, and we learn about the automotive origins of QR codes.

Tim tells us more than we need to know about brakes, and Dave reveals why Italian cars got him a restraining order. Mickey wants to impulse-buy a car, and Misty thinks he’s over-thinking it. Should he buy an El Camino? We hope The Muppets don’t sue us!

We welcome Bob Hall back to the show! Misty is knitting a gay blanket, and Tim gets us going with a very technical trivia question about a fictional car. Bob has lots of interesting perspectives about product planning and new vehicular technologies while Misty has a moment about her MX-5, Dave’s car is DAMN WOKE!, and Mickey wants a pocket-nuclear weapon. Ben is stuck in traffic. Bob knows a thing or two about ’58 Plymouths.

Nobody here but us cheeckens with Micky away on the west coast. Misty is still moist, Dave drives the Grand Trivia Auto, and Ben pretends to know how to host a podcast. Tim staggers in late as we discuss how to get us all over to Paris for the big international hot-dang auto show next year. Those aren’t pillows! Which of us speaks the worst French? How much escargot can we eat in a Peugeot? Is it equipped with a steinschlagschutzhulle?
