RoAb #24 - The 'Not So Fast' Episode

Sunday, February 21, 2010 at 5:36PM

So, you're a crook in Hoboken with designs on a couple Land Rovers that don't belong to you? You think you have the perfect getaway planned, but not so fast. Those SUVs you've just stolen are probably driving about as fast as the Deja Vu Strippermobile down a crowded boulevard in Florida. But if you think that's the only place you're going to see a booty shaking out the back of a car, then you haven't met the pink lady of NASCAR. All that and more in this 'Not So Fast' edition of RoundAbout. Plus we're back with America's favorite gameshow The Price is CORRECT, Miss MotorMouth has a doozy of a tale about when Malibu meets a train (standing still), and we'll actually provide some useful car advice (what?!?) in our Tip of the Week!

RoAb #23 - The 'Love-Hate' Episode

Sunday, February 14, 2010 at 12:52AM

Is there more polarizing a holiday than Valentine's Day? If you're in a happy, stable relationship then you probably love it. On the other hand, you may be one of the legions who prefer to stay indoors with the windows shuttered, in which case you probably hate it. So, this week we bring you stories of automotive love and hate.

Turns out that despite raising the ire of environmentalists everywhere, the Suburban is the GM vehicle most loved by the youngsters. And, over time there are those noises and creaks in your car that you come to both despise and adore. One clever group of artists have composed a veritable love song made entirely from the noises of a Jeep. Plus we've got another installment of Meet Your Roadmates, this week the Dodge Edition, and we'll get a Chicago Auto Show wrap-up from our guest Colin Bird!

A Closer Look - 2011 Chevrolet Camaro SS

Wednesday, December 9, 2009 at 7:07PM

Redder than the October Revolution.And there she was, sitting in the parking lot glowing like a sunburned lobster. Actually, the color’s called “Victory Red,” but hot damn, it’s bright enough to singe your retinas and attract law enforcement like a Krispy Kreme convention.

On the street, the new Camaro gets its share of looks, but not as many as you’d expect for a jaunty new performance car. Faithful to the concept from a few years ago, the production version sports the same menacing scowl and child-bearing haunches.

RoAb #12 - The 'Leftovers' Episode

Friday, November 27, 2009 at 11:44AM

Every week like crazed amazons, we storm the mall of the internet, battling killer crowds in search of the best Black Friday deals, and if Montgomery Ward sells out of seven-dollar toasters, well, we settle for a cohesive, Zen-like theme instead -- and a pretzel from the food court. During the siege we uncover an array of different stories and news bites that fit our theme, however useless or misfitting they may be. And whatever's leftover, well, we buy it anyway, because if we didn't, we'd miss out on the savings.

Don't know about you, but even though we've still got a tryptophan hangover we're really starting to eye those leftover mashed potatoes and turkey. So belly up to the table in your bathrobe and get some automotive leftovers with your favorite RoundAbout crew.

RoAb #11 - The 'Thankful' Episode

Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 9:02PM

Every week like brave Puritans fleeing religious oppression, we sail across the Atlantic in search of freedom, and a cohesive, Zen-like theme. Upon arrival, we find all kinds of different topics and news bites to steal from the natives, however wrong it may be. And whatever’s leftover, well, we give thanks for it anyway, because it’s ours now and we feel guilty about taking it.

Get it? This is our Thanksgiving show.

Eric is Thankful for a certain famous Brit. Jeffrey, not so much. Nissan owners can be thankful that CVT warranties have been doubled. Meanwhile, we all give thanks that the Buick Regal will be getting a manual transmission for the hardcore enthusiasts. All that plus, our features this week: Blind Spot, In the Garage, Highway Hearsay and more!
