RoAb #52 - The 'Distracted' Episode

With dear leader Craig Cole unavailable this week, our very own Jefferson Ross of Autobytel Autotropolis grabs the helm to steer RoundAbout, #52, the “Distracted Episode,” through stormy seas.  We’ve got a whole mess of inattentive news bites to share, ranging from a story about a hungry driver that plowed into a crowded bus stop to chatter about ANOTHER Volvo safety demonstration that went horribly awry.  Later in the show we pick our favorite cars from the Paris Motor Show, take a couple of your calls and literally get in touch with nature in our “Highway Hearsay” segment.  There’s at lot of meat on this one, so quickly hit the play button before you get distracted and update your Facebook status or start watching reruns of “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman” on Hulu.

RoAb #7 - The 'What Not to Do' Episode

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!
