GOD Speaks With Young Accolite Ben Spies

2010-03-09T11:00:08Z

Anyone who has clue one about me knows that when it comes to motorcycle racers I admire, above all others is Eddie Lawson. I only saw Eddie race a couple times on TV, yet I read about him as much as I could. I did get to meet him several years back at Daytona, adn he was nice enough to answer a couple questions for me with out giving me the famous Lawson stare letting you know, you're an idiot and I will not answer that question because it's beyond stupid".

While this is clearly a marketing video put out by Yamaha to promote the R1 and Ben Spies in MotoGP, any chance to hear Lawson talk about "back in the day" is appointment viewing for me, as it should be for you.

Rossi maybe the GOAT, but Lawson IS GOD.

RoundAboutShow #26 The "More Is Less" Episode

2010-03-09T03:48:36Z

The Geneva Motor Show reminded us that just as "less is more," the inverse is just as, if not more true: more is definitely less. Aston Martin takes a tiny Toyota iQ and decks it out in full luxury garb and yet: somehow worse. Mansory adheres flashy pieces of golden chrome to a blue Rolls-Royce and creates a monstrosity. And the Sbarro Autobau is an abomination worse than Pontiac could have ever dreamed. Plus researchers come up with an ingenious solution to identifying potholes as asphalt disintegrates in our Blind Spot, and our Stupid Car Trick is a vomit-inducing exercise as a 15-year-old gets a brand new Camaro SS.

It's the moment you wait for every four years: the RoundAbout Winter Games in which news stories compete for the coveted RoAb Gold Medal. A GM worker takes the medal in Road Warriorism as he racks up more daily miles than any of the competition. Meanwhile, a driver of a Silverado takes the award in Near Misses as he narrowly averts an unorthodox vasectomy. In the highly-competitive Stupidity category, a Bugatti owner (well, former owner) once again takes the prize. Plus Zach, Jeffrey and even Joey all have cars (and planes) In the Garage, and we have an Alaska edition of Meet Your Roadmates!

Mustang Launch

2010-02-26T05:46:59Z

Sure you've watched cars pull massive wheelies when they launch on a drag strip, but how many do you see get up in the wheelie bars at the 1/8th mile!! I think this car is making a bit of boost about 700 feet out!

Even Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson yelling POWER might say, oh, that's a bit much maybe.

Autoline After Hours w/ Bob Boniface, GM Designer

2010-02-25T23:00:42Z

Tonight we talk the future of car design with Bob Boniface, Director of Crossover Exterior Design and Global Electric Vehicle Design. Bob was the design director on the Chevy Camaro concept, but most recently his work can be found on the forthcoming Volt. We'll be asking how designing an electric vehicle is different from an internal combustion vehicle and whether cars should be designed with a global audience in mind.

We'll be getting into those issues, plus a discussion of this week's news including the Toyota hearings and Fritz Henderson's reappointment at GM. John McElroy's in studio as usual as well as David Welch of BusinessWeek and Bloomberg and Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist.

First off, very excited to hear that Brett McCormick is going to be racing in the US (I would have preferred to see him in BSB but rides were sparse there this year) and he'll once again be riding for Pascal Picotte on Suzuki's. We will get to see him at Daytona, where he'll race the 200 and Superbikes. Check out his new lid for Daytona! The work was done by Andre Roy of 66GraphX.com

Really well done lid!! Good luck to Brett!!
