10.06.26 (MP3): Buffalo (Bison?) VS Pickups, B-Size Cars & Carts VS Traffic, Birds VS Auto Glass, Junkyards VS Parts, Automakers VS Politics, BMW VS Driver Satisfaction, Electric Runabouts VS Small & Efficient, + Excellent Weirdo RIP, SR-71s & Amon Tobin

Soooooo much going on... We've got a good pile of the gearhead questions that stir your brain: birds that crash into cars, 18650 batteries that power stuff, buffaloes (or is it bisonoes?) that don't like pickemups, why Dad insisted we find parts at the junkyard (Volvos and Cutlasses and Lambda Sond, oh my), why tiny cars and side-by-sides won't survive American traffic, whether Porsche can get its head out of its political a$$, more evidence that Jaguar going woke definitely Bud Lighted its profits, BMW's decision to trade its humans for artificial idiocy, and whether or not auto manufacturers can make small electrics competitive with plain old efficient workabouts (the Courier-versus-Ranger debate).

Paging Mr. Squeaker... There's also a proper Excellent Weirdo R.I.P. for sporting and national monster "Iron" Mike Ditka (a man who was so Chicago that his name became an entire style of speech, and whose realness became an entire way of life), plus where'd we park our SR-71, why used boxcar and semi-trailer hardwood is awesome, using car-care products around the house, and so much Amon Tobin.
