Description

<p>F.I., F1, and tires, tyres, tires!</p> <p>In this episode, we find out why tires used to be white and why restaurants have Michelin stars. In other tire topics, Tim remembers the F1 tire wars of the early 2000's and how it led to the US Farce 1 GP of 2005. We contemplate the long lead times of getting repair parts for newer cars from a dealer. Ben, on the other hand, can get all of the parts for his 1972 Lotus in 3 days. Suzanne has issues with her Jeep's aftermarket fuel injection system. Suzanne is trying to enter the all women's Rebel Rally in California next year. Mickey is torn between getting a 2017 MX5 or Fiat 124 Spider; or maybe a Hemi Charger / Challenger. Misty claims she can get a sewing loom into her MX5, but is that why she looks like she just got back from a killing spree?</p> <p>We welcome your support via <a href="https://www.patreon.com/TheThingAboutCars" rel="nofollow">Patreon</a> and your questions and feedback via our <a href="http://thethingaboutcars.com/" rel="nofollow">website</a>.</p> <p>This podcast is powered by <a href="https://pinecast.com" rel="nofollow">Pinecast</a>.</p>
