In this week's episode, it's fricken hot out! Before recording this episode, Adam discovered the tail lights on his Allroad were all jacked up. The car was at the dealership a week ago for a couple recalls, and it looks like they reprogrammed a module back to factory settings - woops. Our movie this week - Lake Placid. Honda unveils the new Civic Type R. A more mild look aesthetically, which can almost guarantee wider acceptance assuming the performance stays the same or better. AJ brings us the Cadillac Celestiq, a $300,000 luxury EV. A new bridge in LA gets broken in by some boneheads, the NHTSA OK's manufacturers to sell replicas of cars older than 25 years old, and BMW issues a statement on their subscription model.
In the second half, AJ brings us a melding of two topics - cars and names. What are certain manufacturer's naming conventions? What makes have the most interesting names? We discuss the origin of the word Jeep - is it from the military "GP" or is it from the cartoon Popeye? How car parts got their name. And a brief discussion on how car parts differ in name overseas.
