Hi `Lou & Mike,
MotorWeek is on Broadcast TV every SunDay Morning at 11am here in Florida...I think it's a well done show & I've learned a lot tips/infor from Goss's Garage
If a member's has the time, the above links has some very good information on a variety of many auto topic's...
I also like their Road tests & Reviews.
Just sharing, cause I care, and that I can : )
Peace/Happiness from `Space
