Tree sap tap, Daytona 200, tire dating & a hot Porsche
Tis the season; car shows & cruise nights are starting, a listener is tapping his backyard trees to make syrup while watching the Daytona 200 motorcycle race featuring a Long Island racer, and the talk turns to car tire aging & dating. MatcoMan Brian pulls duty with Ray this week and comments on a Porsche battery life issue as well as adding to a story about Tesla on-board diagnostics. Ray sneaks in a Hot Porsche seen at the U.

Hot Rod albums, vintage videos, Ray & the Greaseman
A show friend turns Ray on to some old Hot Rod albums at a local record store & he can't resist taunting Chris with the idea of using them on the show. The boys collaborate & dust off some old studio videos that will be uploaded to You Tube weekly. Car talk turns to the use of 3rd party insurance companies, and we wrap up with Ray suggesting the use of bed music for the Honor Group segment, then recounts his meeting the Greaseman, Doug Tracht.

Oil leak diagnosis, brake pressure bleeding & a Rabbi's message hits home
This week the boys try to help a caller find an oil leak that's been nagging her. Routine maintenance on the family car turns to talk about the different methods of brake bleeding available, and Ray is ready to go to the next level and buy a pressure bleeder. A caller's dim interior lights in a RAV-4 are overshadowed by the enlightened messages Ray receives after talking with Rabbi Perl from the radio station.

Brake bleeding, headlight doors, & power trunk release
Once the boys got past whining about the recent snow the talk turned to an Internet trick for dismounting tires, of course there were "explosive" results by the end of that conversation. Ray complained about the tiny bleeders on Wilwood calipers, and Chris laid out his Chrysler headlight door repair method. Power trunk release mechanisms and concave right side mirrors rounded out the hour.

Washing machines, bleed screws, custom ratchets & steering columns
In typical MotorMouth fashion, our first topic is how to diagnose a modern washing machine by reading its trouble codes. Next up is Chris' frustration with small brake bleeder fittings, and we learn that he just needs better tools. Ray talks about a custom ratchet MatcoMan Brian made for him but Chris ain't buyin' it! A new tilt steering column & custom bucket seats are up next for the GTO to complement its new paintjob.

Snow blowers, Louis Lee interview, signature solar & desert snakes
The frigid winter weather finds the boys talking about snow blower maintenance and repair. Guest Louis Lee from the "Playing-N-Traffic" show talks about his school bus conversion into a standalone, fully self-sustainable travel and camping vehicle for his retirement travels. The guys were particularly interested in learning more about the Signature Solar panels, batteries & inverter he's using to powerup the project.

Winter maintenance, Montana weather, Mazda washers & solar power
Talk of winter vehicle maintenance & East Coast temperatures caused a long time listener to call from Montana and tell the boys what REAL cold weather is like. Both Ray & Chris are having trouble with the windshield washers in their Mazda's, and Ray's powder coated tow-tabs are all the rage as a "Day 2" addition. He'll also be adding electric AC cooling fans to his GTO this year. Solar power talk brings up the thought for a great show guest next week....stay tuned.
