RoAb #88 - The 'Quickest Path to Salvavage' Episode

Coming up on Roundabout . . . a hybrid car was banned from racing because it was too fast.  Hard to believe, I know.  Russian President Dimitry Medvedev nearly mows down a crowd of onlookers, “Grant Theft Auto” style.  And we come at you with another blockbusting installment of Versus!  Stick around for all of this excitement and much, much, much, much, much, more, only on RoundAbout!  Our special guest this week is Christiaan Conover of WheelSpin.tv.

RoAb #54 - The 'Huckster' Episode

After flying up to the Mitten State to test-drive the new Chevy Volt, Jefferson Ross joins us LIVE in the RoundAbout studios to record this week’s show, our 54^th installment, the “Huckster” episode.  Also joining us, Mirko Reinhardt makes his second audio “appearance” on the program, Skyping-in from across the Atlantic in Germany.  We’ve got an all-around conniving lineup of stories this week ranging from those confidence tricksters at BMW building engines with defective turbochargers to a group of parking-lot attendants that actually weren’t, and made off with loads of people’s cash.  Fanning the flim-flam flames, that “builder” of luxury EVs, Fisker, launches its online vehicle configuator so you can pick all the options you want in your favorite car that will never be built.  We cover all of these topics and many more including our first-ever “Autobahn Anecdote” as well as a specially themed edition of “The Price is Correct,” the cars that Jonathan Brown would hate.  DO NOT miss out on this week’s installment of RoundAbout, #54, the “Huckster” episode.

RoAb #16 - The 'Craigslist' Episode

Every week like grieving families cleaning out a grandparent’s house after their passing, we find all kinds of old canned goods, birc-a-brac and maybe even a cohesive, Zen-like theme. Sure, some of what we discover is worth keeping, but the rest of it we have no use for, so we’ll post it on Craigslist! After all, we’re too guilty to throw it away. How else are can you get rid of granddad’s clothes, his collection of VHS tapes and portable dialysis machine? And how else can you make money doing it? Now, if we could only wash the smell of old-people and shame from our souls.

That's right, this is the Craigslist episode that our panel has been performing--albeit informally--before each recording for the last 15 episodes. We're so enamored with both the awful and wonderful finds that show up on the Internet's classified free-for-all that we decided to make an entire episode out of it. Among our many gems, you'll find a Fiat Abarth 850TC (replica), a '66 Thunderbird Convertible, and a Jeep Comanche that brings back memories for one Jeffrey Ross.
