RoAb #7 - The 'What Not to Do' Episode
Sunday, October 25, 2009 at 5:51PM ;)
This week we thought we'd get all psychological on you and teach by bad example. For instance, everyone knows it's a bad idea to text on your phone while driving--don't they? Maybe not. That's why today we present you with a parade of people who learned the hard way what not to do while driving.
You know those weight limits you'll find in your owners manual? Turns out they're there for a reason--even if you're driving a truck the size of a house. While you're driving that industrial dumptruck, by the way, don't forget that it's a workplace on wheels and all non-smoking regulations apply. And when you do get off for the weekend and go to the track, remember that just because your Ferrari has an automatic, it's no excuse to knit. All that plus, our features this week: In the Garage with a Roush 540RH Mustang, a BMW AutoGadget we take issue with, an iPhone app that drives your van in the Stupid Car Trick and more!

I've really enjoyed past podcasts, but this one? Football, smoker's rights, and Trytko bashing California and Canada in the first five minutes? I turned it off.
