RoAb #63 - The 'Holiday Wishlist 2010' Episode

Like a mall Santa whispering in your ear, RoundAbout is asking the tough questions this holiday season.  Join your favorite automotive characters – including broadcaster extraordinaire Jeffery Gilbert of WWJ Newsradio 950 – for another amusing and mildly informative installment of RoAb, #63, the “Holiday Wishlist 2010” episode.  This week the cast highlights some of the things on their Christmas lists.  Find out which one of us wants a five-ton military truck painted like the Duke boys’ General Lee.  Who’s been dreaming about a membership to the exclusive Monticello Motor Club?  Which one of us is pining for a racecar bed?  Listen to find out.  Also up for discussion are the Tata Nano’s disappointing sales figures, some of the exciting vehicles we’ve been driving lately – including a certain high-performance AMG-ified SUV – plus another random installment of Meet Your Roadmates.  You DO NOT want to miss this riveting and oddly poetic installment of RoundAbout, #63, the “Holiday Wish List 2010” 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!
