RoAb #10 - The 'Identity Crisis' Episode
Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 3:08PM ;)
As always we scoured the news of the past week, and again as always we ignored the serious, depressing stuff and aimed for levity. Perhaps we just want to close our eyes to the news of lay-offs and recall scandals so we can pretend the auto industry is still the chest-thumping, so-goes-the-auto-industry-so-goes-the-world behemoth it once was. So what if we have an Identity Crisis. Don't judge us!
The Apple iMo design concept is an iPod that thinks it's a car. The new Mitsubishi Outlander is a CUV that thinks it's an EVO. And, if you check out Craig's List you'll find a Chevy S10 that thinks it's a rear-engine Cadillac. All that plus, our features this week: Blind Spot brings us a story of stupidity as only the Internet can, the new VW GTI is In the Garage, Craig has another Highway Hearsay and more!

What happened to the live recording video of the 10th episode??
We need more stories from Zach Bowman
@ Luke
A certain someone (Ben) forgot to record on UStream.
@ Mudmonster
Yes, we should make a new segment called the "The Life and Times of Zach Bowman." I can't believe he had a story about Shriners. I mean come on, SHRINERS, what are the chances? And to find out his grandfather blew up a courthouse. Wow. Just wow.
@ Craig
He merely blew the doors off. That's hardly noteworthy. It's not like he watched someone drown.
I have a close to Shriners story. Years back at the Peach Festival Parade, I was around 10(?), there was this one clown. He happened to have a sizeable hole in his trousers. Which as he walked by I mentioned it. "That's my air conditioning." A resonable answer; it must have been true, he had no reason to lie. My parents weren't around. (If you don't know where that's going you have no business here.)
