RoAb #32 - The 'Grab Bag' Episode

Just like Tom Hanks in that movie from the ‘90s, sometimes you never know what you’re going to get.  Whether you’re a prospector panning for gold, a would-be member of high society scratching off a lottery ticket in hopes of winning big or you’re forced into an office gift exchange during the holidays, the outcome of your efforts, or luck, is never certain.  For lack of a better option, this week on RoundAbout we venture into uncharted territory with an unusually eclectic theme in our first-ever “Grab-Bag” episode.  Submitted for discussion this week, a man in the UK gets busted for drunk driving in  something ridiculous.  We find a C3 Chevy Corvette that’s received some unusual chassis work.  Plus we talk about Audi’s sexy new drop-top when we go In The Garage.  All that and more on this week’s installment of RoundAbout, The 'Grab Bag' Episode.  Enjoy!

RoAb #18 - The 'Not What it Seems' Episode

Things are not always what they seem. For instance, you might think this episode is nearly a week late. Wrong as usual, idiot. We were planning to do this episode a year from now, so technically it's early. Why are you so offended? Clearly you are unfamiliar with the word "idiot's" Greek roots. I was simply suggesting you were a private person unfamiliar with the vagaries of podcasting. Again, not what it seems.

So there you go. Houston, we have a theme. This week we've got the coolest 4x4 you never expected, a bevy of protests as the Detroit Auto Show gets going and a wrecked Yaris that is more functional than you'd think. Plus we've got some new fun and games this week including our Mystery Words of the Week, a new segment where we get to stereotype drivers and a couple of burnouts gone terribly wrong.

RoAb #5 - The 'Miami Vice' Episode

This past week J.C. France, racecar driver and grandson of NASCAR founder Bill France, found himself staring at the flashing lights of Daytona's finest in his rearview mirror as his late-night street racing spree was called to an abrupt close.  We watched as the story unfolded and it only got better: an inebriated race between a lime green Lamborghini and a Porsche Cayenne, a baggie of crack cocaine, illegal possession of prescription drugs.  It had the makings of an episode of "Miami Vice" so, we thought, maybe it's time for a series revival.

On today's show, we look at some of the vehicles that would find themselves right at home on the set of the 1980s smash hit. It's a blast from the past with a utilitarian Pontiac beach machine, the Corvette gets a turbo-charged eco-friendly makeover and could the Panamera be the next great convertible? Plus, our features this week: In the Garage with the Volkswagen Golf MK6, a cyber edition of Highway Hearsay as one crappy car gets traded for another, the Blind Spot story about small car buyer's remorse and more!
