Episode #180 - Bottom of the Barrel Turd Boxes
We favor an endearing turd box quite well round these parts, but there exists an irredeemable class of vehicle even further removed from greatness. On this heartfelt episode, the boys single out vehicles that lack any semblance of desirability....

Episode #176 - Rally Car Prospects
The boys decided to up (or more realistically lower) the ante for the next Driving While Awesome (DWA) Rally by implementing a rather restrictive budget of only $3,500. Yes, that's for the car, maintenance, and mods. Yowzers.

Episode #175 - All Bark and No Bite Cars
Talking the talk, but not being able to walk the walk, makes for a very sad car. This week the boys detail some rides that brought the image hard, but were armed with only a limp noodle (phrasing). You heard that right.
