Happy Dawnukkah with Dan Plan!

Published: 5 September 2023


Dan Plan from the Midwest Racing Connection, an expert on short track racing, visits the gang on Dawn’s birthday and sees us at our befuddled best. Dawn relives her 21st birthday. Misty’s new nickname is "Racing Nugget." We start a conspiracy theory that JFK was killed by Mr. Bean. Phil the Bollard survives bollard carnage. And, we learn which car featured the first production turbocharged engine.

Happy New Year from Howard and Marian! (And you thought they wouldn't remember.)

Published: 9 February 2021

We recorded this show on New Year’s weekend while sitting around in pajamas drinking mimosas. Dawn on the Autobahn explores winter inclement weather driving safety tips, while the guys ask “why the hell are you on the road to begin with?” What grinds Mickey’s gears THIS week? Replacing buttons with touchscreens on the dashboard. Listener Karen describes the braking problems with her worst car, a ’72 Dodge Dart. This leads Ben to nostalgically recall his own early history with a brake failure. And listener Kathy hated her Chevy Caprice Classic, which leads Dave to nostalgically pick a fight with his college roommate Paul over parallel parking. Reddit asks about power steering issues in a salvage title, and we discuss the Cunningham’s automotive preferences.
