Nuns on Bicycles

Published: 23 February 2021

TTAC goes international! We welcome Misty from The Netherlands to a new Two Girls & a Car episode. In Relationship Roadster, Amanda delves into Ferraris. Mickey grills Misty on her love for Formula One racing, and we learn about how Misty is learning to navigate multi-use traffic circles amidst tram tracks and bicycles. Ben’s Lotus update: his 1970 Elan Plus 2 has hit the road! Unfortunately, it’s leaving oil on the road. Listener Jennifer Bell writes in to ask the best way to junk a car. Listener Robert Drake writes in about auto repair shops going out of business because they can’t keep good mechanics. Elizabeth Parks writes in with her Worst Car Story, a Cadillac Cimarron. And, Mickey stumps the team with BMW GPS faults.

We welcome your support via Patreon and your questions and feedback via our website.

The Thing About This Truck

Published: 18 February 2019

Friends, we very much want to buy a truck. Or a bus. Maybe an RV. Something which might make a great project to get our hands dirty with, converting it into a thing of beauty.

Join us in imagining: “Mobile Podcasting Studio.” If we raise enough cash, we’ll rehab the thing, outfit it with the right gear (including shag carpet), and turn it into a mobile recording studio that we’ll drive to car shows and other events throughout the region.

We should probably work on our photoshop skills…

With your help, we can make this dream come true. There are two ways to help:

  1. Make a recurring gift through our Patreon.
  2. Or make a one-time gift through our Tip Jar.

We thank you for being a part of The Thing About Cars’ family. Your suggestions and comments help us improve the show, and we are always grateful for your support. Thank you.

On March 30 we’re planning to go to the Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival for their C5 Car Show. There is no cost to register a car, and space is limited, so if you’re going to register a car, it’s highly recommended you pre-register. See their website for more information. Awards will be presented for Best of Show, and First through Third places by popular vote.

Ronny approves.

Summit Racing Equipment Atlanta Motorama is set for Saturday April 27 to Sunday April 28 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. We’re looking forward to the swap-meet, all the vendors, and (of course) all the cool cars to see. Will you be showing your car? Pre-registration for Motorama closes on March 25th.  Before March 25, registration is $35 per vehicle. After the 25th, registration jumps to $50. We’re looking forward to seeing you there. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for more information about our visit to Motorama.

Fantasies About Used Cars

Published: 11 December 2018


Have you ever fantasized that your new used car was previously owned by… a murderer? What? On this episode Ronny wants to let everyone know about year-end deals and how to get them, as the end of the year is quickly approaching. We also find out what the “magic number” is for cars sitting on a sales lot. Mickey is thinking about trading in for a newer model (just what every woman wants to hear). Also, Beka talks about a weird encounter, and how she was almost led astray.

We record at Strongbox West, in Atlanta. If you would like to pose a question or offer feedback, please visit our website.
