- 1:00Rose BB31: This is where if your name is Jess, we destroy your answers. We just throw them out when we get them. Disqualified
- 2:00Emily BB31: it back. Well, hey, I wanna read JD's question from the, uh, all-wheel drive versus four-wheel drive episode, which I don't know how long ago that was, but it was a while. And,
- 3:00Rose BB31: The teacher ... yeah.
- 4:00Um, and yeah, the reason why, um, four-wheel drives suck to drive in the, uh, drive pavement is because it, um, the wheels can't turn independent speed because the front and the back are locked up. And, um, it fights your drive tain- train, and it could cause like binding. It's actually pretty bad for
- 5:00Rose BB31: Yeah, what does he think this is? The Citroen 2CV?
- 6:00Emily BB31: To 10,000 10,000. In what is that? About 20 ... Or wait, 1908 to 19, to 1925. How long is that? That's, uh, 13 years maybe. I don't
- 7:00Rose BB31: know what's funny about that?
- 8:00Rose BB31: You didn't even know it It's time to retire. Shameful. Well, anyway. Uh, yeah, so actually two people answered this question, and I couldn't find who the second person was. Mm-hmm. Uh, Jesse answered. Yeah.
- 9:00Rose BB31: So I apologize for that. Now, the Jesse had a really, as always, has a, has a great answer. And what he said was, "I know RS is Euro-inspired design, maybe from the Ferrari GTO?" Now, see, I faked people out again with that, with that GTO tie-in. It's not what you think. Anyway, Jesse said, "I do..." we, we've mentioned people that respond to the question but don't listen to the show.
- 10:00And Uh, that's true fact, 'cause I didn't, I didn't remember I needed to look at it, but I was like, "No, I don't think that, that, you know, DeLorean or Bunky had anything to do with it," and they didn't. Um, so here's the whole story. Give me the whole story.
- 11:00Rose BB31: Your, your orange, you know, your yellow urethane, you know, when the paint chips away and it's that yellow color underneath, that's the Endura nose, the, the plastic nose.
- 12:00Rose BB31: Well, see, I don't think that's ... I didn't, I meant to look it up and split hairs a little bit because really the difference with the, just the Camaro is that the bumper goes across the grill. It's not an open grill
- 13:00Rose BB31: And then, um Another thing about that, when, you know, Jesse mentioned about the designers, Bill Mitchell was the, the, uh, head of design at that time. And another comment that sort of ties into that was that they had been working, like, towards the Riviera in '63, and after a trip to England, Bill Mitchell came back and said, "Let's make it like a Ferrari Rolls-Royce." Which I think is interesting to... Like, Bill Mitchell is the guy who said that, like, Picasso is gay
- 14:00Emily BB31: Yeah, totally
- 15:00Emily BB31: That sound on that, w- you doing that, uh-uh. That's the gavel. I know. It's gonna be, you know, it's gonna get in people's ears though. Just,
- 16:00Rose BB31: Unleash the beast
- 17:00Emily BB31: Yep. Not that far away, so we'll have to do something fun for, uh, Brain Buster year. Anyway, let's not keep you
