Junkyard party, a friend shot from a cannon & superstitions
Ray & Chris reminisce back 12 years to their 10th show anniversary party that was held at a junkyard (where else?). Good friends and listeners Debbie & Rusty came down with a vintage racing go-kart, and this week Ray attended a celebration of Rusty's life where he was shot from a cannon and 4 rockets! Chris posits that car guys are a superstitious bunch, then admits that he's better at sewing than welding. A dealership software hack & Mazda belts round out the show.

Auto restoration, P0420 Cat code fix, Tracker exhaust home repair
This week the guys delve into the dark science of classic automotive restoration strategies. Between their own projects and the ones their friends are involved with, there's plenty of fodder for this mill too. Ray reports a good experience after using Rislone fuel treatment to resolve a P0420 Cat code in a family car, then explains the parts he needs to complete the A/C installation in his GTO. Chris takes us home with a neat repair on his Tracker exhaust system.

Rolling joint food truck, old sneakers & falling asleep while on the air
Ray is transfixed by a complex rearview mirror repair, then spends time at the "Rolling Joint" food truck car cruise. Replacing a blown shock with a good used one solved the problem of the Fiat sitting too low in the rear, and Chris knows why a pair of 30-year-old sneakers has a cut mark in them. Falling asleep while doing a podcast, as well as the many options available for disc brake conversion hardware wrap up this hour of fun.

Lake Speed Jr., Tribology & oil myths dispelled
Chris ruminated over his paint-soaked Tracker carpet issue & Ray mused over Fiat's selection of clutch cable adjusting hardware. Then, joined by Lake Speed Jr. the show got wings and took off into the unchartered territories of oil technology. Terms like zinc, calcium, phosphorous and viscosity were tossed around like projectiles at a beer pong party. Lake covered all the hard topics and passed on some excellent recommendations we can all use.

EV Sunday; sales cost, charging anxiety, NYC "charging trees"
We brought in some heavy hitters to compliment our EV knowledge this week
with MatcoMan Brian and Carl Anthony from Automoblog. We covered waning EV sales, the
charging anxiety many people are experiencing, and the new "electrici-trees" NYC is working
on implementing to help the charging issue. Many thoughts were thrown out there, but not
all of them were fully explored....stay tuned for more to come. -
Ball cleaning technique, Cataclean report & the Italian tune-up
Kicking off the "new year" (post Mother's Day) portion of the show, Ray describes to Chris how he cleaned his balls and will soon be polishing them, and of course he was referring to his pool table equipment. The use of Cataclean gets a thumbs up, but a CEL in the Impala gets a head scratch from even the experts. Chris describes with great detail how an "Italian Tune-Up" is performed, followed by an example of how to use a paint thickness gauge. Ray's visit to a mega-car facility raises some questions.
