Once again, our fearless leader Craig Cole has fled the country in search of weinerschnitzel and pretzels, but filling the void in his stead is none other than Rumblestrip, himself, Eric Trytko. This week Eric gets his Lawrence Welk vibe going as he takes RoundAbout into uncharted territory for the 'Bubbles and Water' episode. The Hydrokultur Nios and Zooop EV bring foretell a future populated by "bubble cars." Meanwhile, a UK study reveals that using water instead of windshield wiper fluid could literally kill you--and we don't mean from poor visibility. Then we talk about a bubble in the stock market that just may burst all over Toyota and Tesla. All that and more, plus our Blind Spot uncovers a vehicle that is very literally one horsepower and we play a waterlogged edition of our favorite game The Price is CORRECT!

Whether you’ve washed your hair with soap because you ran out of shampoo, built a canoe out of drywall or even resorted to eating haggis, we’ve all had to make do at one point or another.  Join the RoundAbout gang this week as they barely scrape by in the 38^th installment of the show.  If you’ve ever wanted to own a thoroughbred sports car but just don’t have the means, listen in to learn about a pedal-powered Porsche replica that’s built out of crap you’re guaranteed to have lying around the house.  Talk about making do with what you’ve got!  In similar fashion, a group of Chinese students built a replica Bugatti Veyron out of … wait for it … cigarette packs!  Learn about the hilarious vanity license plate that one tree-loving arborist wanted to snag for his ride.  Too bad the Michigan Secretary of State said “no plate for you!”  Now he has to make do with something else.  Enjoy all that and a whole lot … well, some more on this week’s awe-inspiring episode of RoundAbout, #38, the “Scraping By” episode.

Change the oil, check the tire pressure and fill the tank--we’re going on a road trip!  Join Miss MotorMouth herself, Michelle Naranjo, producer Ben Sanders and host Craig Cole for another dazzling installment of RoundAbout, the 'Ultimate Road Trip' episode.  We’ve decided to do a tweet-up meet-up in the center of the lower 48 states near the town of Sidney, Nebrasky.  We’ve each picked our favorite vehicle to drive and some interesting items to bring along for the ride.  One of us would make the trip in Russia’s hottest new SUV.  We discuss the merits of a portable food-cooking machine that’s nothing short of friggin’ sweet.  We delve into the perverted and unspeakable lengths one Australian woman went to to try and get a new car … or rather, two cars.  Learn everything you never wanted to know about oil with our "Tip of The Week." Join us as we discuss all of that PLUS a whole-lot-more-than-you-can-probably-handle-in-one-sitting on RoundAbout, The 'Ultimate Road Trip' episode.
