About this episode
The hosts bounce from mileage trivia (cars “to the moon” vs odometer myths) into detailed project-car updates: a Volvo with mysterious coolant/fuel issues and messy wiring cleanup, plus a Mitsubishi Lancer where a stubborn spark plug is threatening cylinder-head threads. They also swap stories about a fuel-pump failure on a Ram during the Prescott Forest Rally trip, and debate whether diesel swaps (with a VW TDI adapter idea) make sense long-term. The episode ends with a fun, heated segment ranking cringe automotive slang—bone stock, rice rocket, shipbox, spec, and “reimagined”—and a quick NASCAR aside.
Back for another week, We talk some Automotive terms that are cringe for 2026. For project car updates, Andrew has actually worked on the Volvo. Brad is fighting the Lancer, while working trying to finish up the Starion.
