They also dive into their personal car projects, from Mike's GTO engine woes to Kevin's ongoing work on his Ford Galaxie. Of course, there's the Automotive Trivia questions and a bunch of laughs along the way on the latest episode of the V8 Radio Podcast!\n\n\n\nTune In To Hear:\n\n\n\n\nV8 Radio Introduction & Trivia Question (00:00 - 07:11) - Kevin Oeste and Mike Clarke, the hosts of V8 Radio, introduce the show, touch on the unseasonably hot weather, and pose two trivia questions. \n\n\n\nTriple Crown of Rodding Event Recap (07:11 - 29:32) - The hosts discuss the third annual Triple Crown of Rodding event, a two-day show that featured close to 170 vendors and raised around $77,000 for the Gary Sinise Foundation.  Listen closely to learn Q-Ball's new nickname!\n\n\n\nThe COMP Cams Camaro was on display, which was a \"happy accident\" because the owner had brought the car to the shop to fix an issue where the battery was dying. They also talk about a new V8 Speed and Resto Shop customer who took a ride in the Camaro to experience what her future car could be like.\n\n\n\nPersonal Car Project Updates (29:32 - 58:56) - Mike gives an update on his award-winning Pontiac GTO, which has suffered a major engine failure. He discovered a dropped valve, and the engine is locked up. Kevin talks about his Ford Galaxie and the progress he has made with its power steering system and sound system. He also discusses using an AI tool to create enhanced images of cars for the V8 Speed and Resto Shop website.\n\n\n\nTrivia Answers (58:56 - 01:13:30) - The hosts reveal the answers to the trivia questions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick To Listen and Subscribe! \n\n\n\nhttps://www.v8radio.com\n\n\n\n#V8Radio #ClassicCars #MuscleCars #HotRods #CarRestoration #AutoRepair #CarShow #AutomotivePodcast #DodgeLaFemme #PontiacGTO #FordGalaxie #TripleCrownOfRodding #V8SpeedandRestoShop"},"annotations":[{"startTime":231.08,"endTime":237.46,"type":"car","title":"Ford Mustang","url":"/cars/ford/mustang","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/13/1966_Ford_Mustang_coupe_white_001.jpg","quote":"...bit later, you know, the story tells  it that the Mustang was actually designed more for a female buyer tha...","canonicalId":"car:ford:mustang","priority":0.7,"confidence":1.0,"source":"fuzzy","data":{"imageAttribution":"Hans-Jürgen Neubert (CC BY 4.0)"}},{"startTime":262.42,"endTime":266.34,"type":"car","title":"Dacia Duster","url":"/cars/dacia/duster","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/19/Dacia_Duster%2C_GIMS_2024%2C_Le_Grand-Saconnex_%28GIMS0126%29.jpg","quote":"...size, I want to say it might have  been a valiant duster, maybe it, maybe it, maybe it dodged.
