RoAb #63 - The 'Holiday Wishlist 2010' Episode

Like a mall Santa whispering in your ear, RoundAbout is asking the tough questions this holiday season.  Join your favorite automotive characters – including broadcaster extraordinaire Jeffery Gilbert of WWJ Newsradio 950 – for another amusing and mildly informative installment of RoAb, #63, the “Holiday Wishlist 2010” episode.  This week the cast highlights some of the things on their Christmas lists.  Find out which one of us wants a five-ton military truck painted like the Duke boys’ General Lee.  Who’s been dreaming about a membership to the exclusive Monticello Motor Club?  Which one of us is pining for a racecar bed?  Listen to find out.  Also up for discussion are the Tata Nano’s disappointing sales figures, some of the exciting vehicles we’ve been driving lately – including a certain high-performance AMG-ified SUV – plus another random installment of Meet Your Roadmates.  You DO NOT want to miss this riveting and oddly poetic installment of RoundAbout, #63, the “Holiday Wish List 2010” episode.
