RoAb #4 - The 'Driving on the Wild Side' Episode
Monday, October 5, 2009 at 12:54AM ;)
Some days you look at the automotive news cropping up and you realize it's a jungle out there. This week we tap into our animal instincts as we explore the zoological side of car culture.
On today's show, elephants show us a brand new way not to get your car clean, a Ford engine taps hair band influences for a "super sweet" mascot, and the Jaguar may rise again as rumors of a new five-door roar to life. Plus, our features this week: In the Garage with the Taurus and Genesis Coupe, another edition of Psy-car-logy as we explore what cars the LGBT community cotton to, the Blind Spot story of the week and more!
