Wait no more! After a long long break we have finally emerged to start our summer season of episodes! In the time that we have been gone, multiple happenings have occurred like: Wes keeps getting sick, Turtle has a double entendre-fest with his distributor rebuild, and Reyson has been alive. In this lighter hearted episode Turtle tells us his saga of one man and a distributor rebuild, we fondly remember our best Toys R Us memories, and figure out what cars everyone from 80’s cartoon nostagia land would be driving to a hot 80’s car meet!

Rollalife Podcast: Episode 7

BEWARE! AE86 Christmas is under siege by dastardly lowlife car thief scum that strives to ruin our car human holiday season.

In addition we cover the classic holiday topics such as: What if Michael Jackson was a car guy drifter? The value of a Toyota CHR, a serious discussion on 3rd brake lights, and how Turtle and Wes shared a precious moment on the touge. Join us for our year end episode, pop open that fizzy drink of choice of yours, and stare at your car out the window because the second walk away from it, it will be stolen.

Okay, this may look cool, but knowing drivers here in the US, this will cause some major rubbernecking and accidents!  In Vietnam, this “Dragon Bridge” built over Han River in Da Nang was opened to the public last month.  The construction of this bridge started in July 2009 costing over $85 million dollars US and has six lanes for cars.  The dragon can release fire or water.  Maybe this is what a futuristic Games of Throne city would look like!
