Spark Plugs to Electric Cars: Auto History and Valuing Classics. Plus the Subaru Impreza RS review!

In Wheel Time Car Talk

01/07/24 • 31 min

Remember the time you tried to set the gap on your spark plugs and ended up with more grease on your shirt than on the car? Ah, those were the days, and in our latest episode, we take a walk down memory lane to chuckle over the automotive tools that now rest in peace, thanks to modern technology. From the clink of distributor wrenches to the hum of electric motors, this is one episode where past meets future, and every gearhead gets a front-row seat.
Now, let's shift gears and talk turkey—and by turkey, we mean the kind that pairs well with whiskey cake and a side of car valuation banter. We may have missed out on dessert, but we sure made up for it with a hearty course of guessing the worth of some classic beauties sold by Hemmings', like a '78 Corvette Coupe and a '69 Ford Torino. Between the laughter and the head-scratching debates over real versus imitation horseradish, we serve up a glimpse into the culture that fuels our love for the automotive world. Tune in for the nostalgia, stay for the laughs, and maybe even pick up a tip or two for your own classic car collection.

Feel the pulse of innovation and ambition as we gear up with the Loras College Racing Club team, a dynamic group of students whose dreams revolve around the revving engines and the checkered flags of motorsport.

Switching gears, we navigate the challenges and strategy of collegiate racing, particularly in the snow-dusted landscapes of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

The Duhawks, as they're fondly known, open up about the camaraderie that fuels their team spirit, the mentorship of Professor Joy, and the ingenious tweaks that give them an edge on the track. If you're a racing aficionado or just love a story of teamwork and determination, buckle up and join us for a deep dive into the fast-paced world of the Loras College Racing Club.
