AB Podcast #36: The “Bad Beak” Episode

January 7, 2011 by Justin Loyear

speaker

With only a few days to go before the North American International Autoshow, Justin and Joel invited Nick Saporito from GMInsidenews.com and FordInsidenews.com to come on the show and catch up on the latest news and preview the Detroit Show. The ‘Garage’ is brimming with all kinds of great vehicles as well as some Feder-Phrenology and great insider info from Nick.

In ‘This Week in Cars,’ we critique a critical article on car grilles, talk about two Camaros which could be made obsolete by the upcoming Z28, make fun of Justin’s monologue on the 1989 San Francisco earthquake, and talk about the iPad.

In ‘Talking Points,’ Justin issues a challenge to Joel, and we find out about Joel and Nick sharing a backpack and their mob mentality at NAIAS.
