A New Events Season, Bad Fixes, and Fresh Favorites

This week, Alex, Randy, and Beck talk about the correct way to staff a pickup and/or a 911SC; our recent experience at Motoring Club Cars & Coffee in San Francisco; handling good friends in bad cars; Trooper apologies; “black plates” on black cars; the true meaning of car culture (hint: it involves stealing from children); the overall event situation in and around SF; Alex’s looming family trip to Disneyland, God help him; the wrong way to think about a nature preserve; and Pro 7 memories.

Next up is our favorite recent Question of the Week, wherein the crew covers a failed bumper backdate, vice-and-hammer metalwork, and extremely questionable battery mounting techniques. They briefly explore the differences between Mr. Sandman and Enter Sandman, then lust after green-dial 911s, a vintage Texaco gas station, a John Oates/Emory 356, an SVO Mustang, and other watchlist favorites.
