RoAb #93 - The 'Adam Carolla is Basically Dead' Episode

Coming up on Roundabout, a man gets a DUI while driving around on his cooler. Mr. Bean practices some slapstick comedy with his McLaren F1 and a tree. And a tour bus only a Portland, Oregon native could love. This week RoundelTable's Christiaan Conover guest hosts and invites his colleague Josh Lewis from RawAutos.com. All this and much, much more this week on RoundAbout.

RoAb #44 - The 'Hard Way' Episode

Ben gets famous the hard waySometimes you just want to walk, sometimes you’d rather pull-start the lawnmower and sometimes you feel like baking your own bread.  Join us this week on RoundAbout as we salute doing things the hard way.  Learn about a cool 1920s-editon GPS system that will blow your mind.  Find out why running from the cops is a really bad idea.  And leave it to the Japanese to come up with an absolutely absurd way of chilling and transporting a (yes, singular) watermelon.  All that and more PLUS we discuss a series of brain exercises that can help older folks drive better and we learn an important lesson about moving in our STUPID CAR TRICK video segment.  Check it all out on this week’s awe-inspiring episode of RoundAbout, #44, the “Hard Way” episode.

RoAb #38 - The 'Scraping By' Episode

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.

RoAb #6 - The 'It' Episode

This week's episode ... so very NSFW. Let us get that out of the way right off the bat. Also the first episode where almost all of us were in the same place, in fact the first episode where any two of us were in the same place, so "woo-hoo" for that--but also the crux of our problem. This week's episode was intended to be couched in delicately-crafted inneundo. Turns out, though, that when you get five guys in the same building, testosterone, and thus fart-joke mentality, trumps all. Sorry Miss Motor Mouth, but Skype doesn't transmit estrogen.

And so, we look at the automotive side of "It." Russia's answer to Hummer has, among other niceties, upholstery from the, well, most delicate part of a whale. As the automotive workforce succumbs to the economic downturn, what's a GM engineer to do? Just ask George Clooney. But ladies, don't think we've left you out because you know that everyone loves a new set of Tatas. Plus, our features this week: In the Garage with a BMW X5 diesel, another Psy-car-logy as we ask the panel what their cars say about them, the Blind Spot story of the week and more!
