LIKE TO FIND OUT A BIT MORE

27
00:01:29,823 --> 00:01:30,891
ABOUT THEM...

28
00:01:30,991 --> 00:01:32,926
WELL HELLO, AND WELCOME AGAIN TO 
MOTORWEEK .

29
00:01:33,026 --> 00:01:35,762
WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU WITH US 
FOR THIS SPECIAL EDITION

30
00:01:35,862 --> 00:01:39,232
CELEBRATING OUR 35 YEARS 
ON THE TELEVISION.

31
00:01:39,333 --> 00:01:41,535
YOU KNOW, 
THIS ORIGINAL SET EXISTS ONLY

32
00:01:41,635 --> 00:01:43,403
IN VIRTUAL REALITY NOW,

33
00:01:43,503 --> 00:01:45,906
BUT IT WAS MOTORWEEK'S HOME 
IN STUDIO "A"

34
00:01:46,006 --> 00:01:50,510
AT MARYLAND PUBLIC TELEVISION 
FOR OUR FIRST 6 SEASONS.

35
00:01:50,611 --> 00:01:52,579
THE SET DESIGN WAS SOMEWHERE 
IN-BETWEEN

36
00:01:52,679 --> 00:01:56,083
AN AUTOMOTIVE DESIGN STUDIO, 
A PLACE FEW OUTSIDERS

37
00:01:56,183 --> 00:01:59,186
HAD EVER SEEN, 
AND A NEW CAR SHOWROOM.

38
00:01:59,286 --> 00:02:02,389
WE WANTED TO CREATE A SPACE 
WHERE OUR VIEWERS COULD

39
00:02:02,489 --> 00:02:05,759
EXPERIENCE THE NEWEST CARS 
AND TRUCKS FROM AN INSIDER'S

40
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:09,896
POINT OF VIEW, 
BEFORE THEY WENT ON SALE.

41
00:02:09,997 --> 00:02:13,100
WHILE NOT ALL OF OUR EARLY TEST 
CARS HAVE SURVIVED THE TEST

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,436
OF TIME, A FEW STAND OUT AS 
IMPORTANT MILESTONES ON

43
00:02:16,536 --> 00:02:18,171
THE AUTOMOTIVE TIMELINE.

44
00:02:18,271 --> 00:02:21,408
SO LET'S START THINGS OFF WITH 
A LOOK IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR

45
00:02:21,508 --> 00:02:25,278
AT A FEW OF OUR MOTORWEEK 
AUTOMOTIVE ALL-STARS.

46
00:02:28,482 --> 00:02:31,485
WE'RE PROUD TO HAVE WITNESSED 
SEVERAL AUTOMOTIVE MILESTONES

47
00:02:31,585 --> 00:02:33,353
OVER THE COURSE OF OUR HISTORY.

48
00:02:33,453 --> 00:02:36,957
FOR MOTORWEEK'S FIRST BROADCAST, 
OUR STUDIO CAMERAS FOCUSED ON

49
00:02:37,057 --> 00:02:40,627
THE TREND SETTING NEW WORLD CAR 
FROM FORD, THE ESCORT,

50
00:02:40,727 --> 00:02:44,831
ALONG WITH A FUN AND QUIRKY 
ITALIAN IMPORT, THE FIAT STRADA.

51
00:02:44,931 --> 00:02:48,268
BOTH WERE FRONT-RUNNERS IN THE 
FRONT-WHEEL-DRIVE REVOLUTION,

52
00:02:48,368 --> 00:02:52,072
AS MAINSTREAM CARS WENT FROM 
PUSHERS TO PULLERS SEEMINGLY

53
00:02:52,172 --> 00:02:53,473
OVERNIGHT.

54
00:02:53,573 --> 00:02:57,477
IN 1981, THE K-CAR WAS ALREADY 
TAKING BADGE-ENGINEERING

55
00:02:57,577 --> 00:02:58,745
TO THE EXTREME.

56
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:02,049
AND OVER THE NEXT 8 YEARS, 
SPAWNED COUNTLESS SPIN-OFFS FROM

57
00:03:02,149 --> 00:03:05,118
THE SAME BASIC CHASSIS, 
INCLUDING THE UBIQUITOUS

58
00:03:05,218 --> 00:03:08,488
MINIVAN, ARGUABLY THE MOST 
SIGNIFICANT VEHICLE OF

59
00:03:08,588 --> 00:03:11,558
THE LAST 35 YEARS, 
AND ONE THAT CHANGED THE FACE

60
00:03:11,658 --> 00:03:14,361
OF FAMILY TRANSPORTATION 
FOREVER.

61
00:03:14,461 --> 00:03:17,364
WE SAW THE END OF AN ERA IN 
THE MID '80s WHEN VIRTUALLY

62
00:03:17,464 --> 00:03:20,634
ALL OF THE COOL EUROPEAN SPORTS 
CARS PACKED UP THEIR

63
00:03:20,734 --> 00:03:23,704
SIDE CURTAINS AND HEADED BACK 
ACROSS THE POND...

64
00:03:23,804 --> 00:03:26,773
ONLY TO BE REINCARNATED, 
IN SPIRIT AT LEAST,

65
00:03:26,873 --> 00:03:31,144
BY THE 1990 MAZDA MIATA, 
WHICH LED A ROADSTER REVIVAL

66
00:03:31,244 --> 00:03:34,781
THAT IS STILL LURING SUN SEEKERS 
TODAY.

67
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:40,287
AMC/JEEP'S 1984 4-DOOR CHEROKEE 
AND WOODY WAGONEER WERE

68
00:03:40,387 --> 00:03:43,523
THE FIRST MIDSIZE VEHICLES TO 
BLUR THE LINE BETWEEN

69
00:03:43,623 --> 00:03:46,626
CARS AND TRUCKS, 
BUT IT WAS THE HUGE POPULARITY

70
00:03:46,727 --> 00:03:50,764
OF FORD'S EXPLORER IN THE EARLY 
'90s THAT FUELED THE SUV

71
00:03:50,864 --> 00:03:52,099
PHENOMENON.

72
00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:55,769
THE 1982 HONDA ACCORD HIT 
THE STREETS JUST A MONTH BEFORE

73
00:03:55,869 --> 00:03:57,471
OUR PREMIER BROADCAST.

74
00:03:57,571 --> 00:04:00,173
THE FIRST JAPANESE-BRAND CAR 
BUILT IN AMERICA,

75
00:04:00,273 --> 00:04:02,876
THAT ACCORD WAS EVERYWHERE 
IN THE '80s,

76
00:04:02,976 --> 00:04:04,277
AND WITH GOOD REASON...

77
00:04:04,377 --> 00:04:06,546
...AS A TOTAL PACKAGE, 
THIS HONDA TENDED TO BE

78
00:04:06,646 --> 00:04:08,715
MUCH MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS 
PARTS.

79
00:04:08,815 --> 00:04:13,153
IN SHORT, THE HONDA ACCORD IS 
A VERY COMPETENT FAMILY CAR.

80
00:04:13,253 --> 00:04:16,289
John: WE WERE BULLISH 
ON THE FORD TAURUS IN 1986,

81
00:04:16,389 --> 00:04:20,760
AS IT USHERED IN THE AERODYNAMIC 
OVAL ERA OF AUTOMOTIVE STYLING

82
00:04:20,861 --> 00:04:24,064
AND REMAINED A BIG SELLER 
FOR NEARLY TWO DECADES.

83
00:04:24,164 --> 00:04:27,200
OUR EARLY EXOTIC CAR ADVENTURES, 
IN CARS LIKE THE BITTER,

84
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:31,104
DELOREAN, AND LANCIA ZAGATO 
WHET OUR APPETITES FOR

85
00:04:31,204 --> 00:04:33,774
WORLD-CLASS PERFORMANCE, 
WHILE THE DEBUT OF

86
00:04:33,874 --> 00:04:38,044
A NEW CHEVY CORVETTE FOR 1984 
SIGNALED AT LONG LAST

87
00:04:38,145 --> 00:04:41,381
AMERICA'S ARRIVAL IN THE MODERN 
SPORTS CAR CORRAL.

88
00:04:41,481 --> 00:04:45,385
OUR FIRST DRIVES IN 
THE PORSCHE 911 AND BMW M3

89
00:04:45,485 --> 00:04:48,421
BECAME OUR PERFORMANCE 
BENCHMARKS FOR YEARS TO COME,

90
00:04:48,522 --> 00:04:51,992
AND SET A HIGH BAR FOR OTHER 
SPORTS CARS TO REACH FOR.

91
00:04:52,425 --> 00:04:54,761
THE OUT OF THIS WORLD 
PORSCHE 959

92
00:04:54,861 --> 00:04:58,632
AND FERRARI'S FABULOUS F40 
BOTH BLEW OUR MINDS,

93
00:04:58,732 --> 00:05:02,102
DELIVERING ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE 
UNHEARD OF JUST A FEW YEARS

94
00:05:02,202 --> 00:05:03,436
EARLIER.

95
00:05:03,537 --> 00:05:07,641
THE CORVETTE ZR1 FULFILLED OUR 
DESIRE FOR A UNIQUELY AMERICAN

96
00:05:07,741 --> 00:05:10,443
HIGH PERFORMANCE ICON IN 1990.

97
00:05:10,544 --> 00:05:13,113
DODGE FOLLOWED SUIT WITH 
THE VIPER A YEAR LATER,

98
00:05:13,213 --> 00:05:15,916
AND THE MODERN HORSEPOWER 
WARS WERE BORN.

99
00:05:16,016 --> 00:05:19,019
BUT AMAZINGLY, 
ALL OF THEM ARE YAWNERS COMPARED

100
00:05:19,119 --> 00:05:21,388
TO TODAY'S CROP OF MUSCLE CARS.

101
00:05:21,488 --> 00:05:24,157
IN FACT, WE REMEMBER WHEN 
THE BADDEST CAR IN THE LAND

102
00:05:24,257 --> 00:05:26,560
WAS A SLAB-SIDED SEDAN.

103
00:05:26,660 --> 00:05:29,496
COME TO THINK OF IT, 
THAT'S STILL TRUE!

104
00:05:29,596 --> 00:05:33,166
SUBARU MAY HAVE LAID CLAIM TO 
THE FIRST SPORT UTILITY WAGON

105
00:05:33,266 --> 00:05:36,236
IN THE '90s WITH THE OUTBACK, 
BUT IF YOU ASK US,

106
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:40,507
THAT SEGMENT BUSTER STATUS WAS 
WON BY THE AMC EAGLE MORE THAN

107
00:05:40,607 --> 00:05:42,242
A DECADE EARLIER.

108
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:45,345
BY OUR RECKONING, 
TOYOTA'S RAV4 WAS THE FIRST

109
00:05:45,445 --> 00:05:48,782
TRUE CROSSOVER UTILITY, 
BLENDING A CAR-LIKE UNIBODY

110
00:05:48,882 --> 00:05:52,719
CHASSIS WITH AN SUV-LIKE STANCE 
AND VERSATILITY IN A COMPACT

111
00:05:52,819 --> 00:05:55,055
GARAGE FRIENDLY PACKAGE.

112
00:05:55,155 --> 00:05:59,526
GMs EV1 SHOWED THE PROMISE OF 
CLEAN, EFFICIENT ELECTRIC POWER,

113
00:05:59,626 --> 00:06:02,262
BUT IT'S ORIGINAL HEAVY 
LEAD-ACID BATTERIES WERE

114
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:03,630
ANYTHING BUT.

115
00:06:03,730 --> 00:06:08,668
IT WASN'T UNTIL 1997 THAT THE 
TOYOTA PRIUS GAS-ELECTRIC HYBRID

116
00:06:08,768 --> 00:06:11,304
REALIZED THAT POTENTIAL 
IN AN AFFORDABLE,

117
00:06:11,404 --> 00:06:14,174
FAMILY-FRIENDLY MASS-MARKET CAR.

118
00:06:14,274 --> 00:06:18,078
PERFECT PACKAGING AND BLING FOR 
THE BUCK WAS THE CALLING CARD OF

119
00:06:18,178 --> 00:06:23,383
LEXUS LS400, INFINITI Q45, 
AND ACURA LEGEND

120
00:06:23,483 --> 00:06:26,987
WHEN THEY TILTED THE LUXURY CAR 
GLOBE OFF OF ITS EUROPEAN AXIS

121
00:06:27,087 --> 00:06:28,221
IN THE LATE '80s,

122
00:06:28,321 --> 00:06:32,192
AND OPENED THE UPSCALE CAR 
MARKET TO THE MIDDLE CLASS.

123
00:06:32,292 --> 00:06:35,795
AND WE'D BE REMISS TO NOT 
MENTION THE FORD F-150.

124
00:06:35,896 --> 00:06:38,565
IT WAS ALREADY THE TOP-SELLING 
VEHICLE IN AMERICA

125
00:06:38,665 --> 00:06:42,469
WHEN WE DEBUTED IN 1981, 
AND HAS REMAINED SO THROUGHOUT

126
00:06:42,569 --> 00:06:45,138
OUR ENTIRE 35-YEAR RUN.

127
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:47,407
SIMPLY AMAZING!

128
00:06:47,507 --> 00:06:50,677
WITH THE ONCE SCIENCE-FICTION 
AUTONOMOUS CAR OF THE FUTURE

129
00:06:50,777 --> 00:06:53,747
NEARLY UPON US, 
WE CONTINUE TO BE ASTOUNDED BY

130
00:06:53,847 --> 00:06:56,950
THE LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGY, 
EFFICIENCY, AND PERFORMANCE THAT

131
00:06:57,050 --> 00:06:59,452
IS BEING PACKED INTO OUR CARS.

132
00:06:59,552 --> 00:07:01,755
AS THE CARS HAVE BECOME MORE 
SOPHISTICATED,

133
00:07:01,855 --> 00:07:04,357
SO MOTORWEEK HAS EVOLVED TO 
KEEP PACE.

134
00:07:04,457 --> 00:07:08,895
BUT THE SAME CONCEPT FROM 
35 YEARS AGO STILL GOES TODAY.

135
00:07:08,995 --> 00:07:12,699
FOR US THE CARS ARE STILL 
THE STARS!

136
00:07:15,135 --> 00:08:13,093
*

137
00:08:13,193 --> 00:08:14,694
Yolanda (Yoli) Vazquez : BOY 
THIS IS QUITE A GROUP OF CARS,

138
00:08:14,794 --> 00:08:16,863
AND NOT A BAD LOOKING ONE 
IN THE BUNCH!

139
00:08:16,963 --> 00:08:18,164
John: YOU'RE RIGHT, YOLI.

140
00:08:18,264 --> 00:08:20,834
YOU KNOW IT'S FASCINATING HOW 
MUCH AUTOMOTIVE STYLING HAS

141
00:08:20,934 --> 00:08:23,737
EVOLVED, EVEN IN THE RELATIVELY 
BRIEF TIME THAT WE'VE BEEN ON

142
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:24,704
THE AIR.

143
00:08:24,804 --> 00:08:26,039
Yoli: THAT'S RIGHT, JOHN.

144
00:08:26,139 --> 00:08:28,375
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE SHOW 
ARCHIVES, LIKE I'VE BEEN DOING,

145
00:08:28,475 --> 00:08:32,746
YOU'LL SEE SOME PRIME EXAMPLES 
OF THE ART OF AUTOMOTIVE STYLE.

146
00:08:37,450 --> 00:08:39,586
Yoli: WHEN MOTORWEEK FIRST 
HIT THE AIRWAVES

147
00:08:39,686 --> 00:08:41,921
IN THE EARLY '80s, 
BOXY WAS BEAUTIFUL.

148
00:08:42,022 --> 00:08:44,958
THE STRAIGHT EDGE WAS THE MOST 
IMPORTANT TOOL IN A DESIGNER'S

149
00:08:45,058 --> 00:08:47,894
ARSENAL AND WHEN IT CAME 
TO BODY LINES...

150
00:08:47,994 --> 00:08:51,631
WELL, THE SHARPER THE CREASE, 
THE SMARTER THE CAR.

151
00:08:51,731 --> 00:08:53,733
CHROME WAS STILL KING OF 
THE BLING IN THE '80s,

152
00:08:53,833 --> 00:08:58,104
BUT WITH THE NEW DECADE CAME 
A NEW EMPHASIS ON MODERN DESIGN.

153
00:08:58,204 --> 00:09:01,274
PLASTIC WAS FANTASTIC, 
AERODYNAMIC AIDS

154
00:09:01,374 --> 00:09:04,577
AND BODY COLORED CLADDING RULED 
THE DAY AS THE JELLY BEAN LOOK

155
00:09:04,677 --> 00:09:06,112
TOOK OVER.

156
00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:09,149
THE FRONT-WHEEL-DRIVE REVOLUTION 
AND IT'S EFFICIENT DRIVETRAIN

157
00:09:09,249 --> 00:09:12,552
PACKAGING GAVE DESIGNERS 
THE FREEDOM TO SHAPE CARS

158
00:09:12,652 --> 00:09:14,354
TO THEIR LIKING AGAIN.

159
00:09:14,454 --> 00:09:17,791
BIG ON THE INSIDE, SMALL ON 
THE OUTSIDE WAS THE NEW NORM,

160
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:21,961
AND CAB FORWARD WAS NOW IN 
EVERYONE'S VOCABULARY.

161
00:09:22,062 --> 00:09:24,097
WITH THE TURN OF THE CENTURY 
THERE CAME A LONGING FOR

162
00:09:24,197 --> 00:09:26,800
BYGONE DAYS, 
AND THAT WAS CERTAINLY THE CASE

163
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:30,837
IN AUTOMOTIVE DESIGN; 
SOME CARMAKERS WERE INSPIRED BY

164
00:09:30,937 --> 00:09:34,541
CLASSIC DESIGN LANGUAGE TO BRING 
A THROWBACK VIBE WITH

165
00:09:34,641 --> 00:09:37,577
A MODERN TWIST TO THEIR CLASSIC 
STYLING.

166
00:09:37,677 --> 00:09:40,747
WHILE FULL-ON RETRO LOOKS LIKE 
THE VOLKSWAGEN NEW BEETLE,

167
00:09:40,847 --> 00:09:44,884
MINI COOPER AND FORD THUNDERBIRD 
WERE ALMOST CARICATURES OF

168
00:09:44,984 --> 00:09:48,021
THEIR OWN '50s AND '60s SELVES.

169
00:09:48,121 --> 00:09:50,657
OVER THREE-AND-A-HALF DECADES 
WE'VE ALSO SEEN FAMILY

170
00:09:50,757 --> 00:09:54,327
TRANSPORTATION EVOLVE; 
FROM WAGONS, TO MINIVANS,

171
00:09:54,427 --> 00:09:57,430
TO SUVs, 
AND NOW TO THE ENDLESS ONSLAUGHT

172
00:09:57,530 --> 00:10:02,402
OF SO CALLED CROSSOVER UTILITIES 
OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.

173
00:10:02,502 --> 00:10:04,170
WE'VE WITNESSED THE RISE 
AND FALL.

174
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:07,373
AND PERHAPS RISE AGAIN, 
OF 5-DOOR HATCHBACKS.

175
00:10:07,474 --> 00:10:11,111
DOWNSIZED LUXURY, 
THE DAWN OF MONOCHROME MADNESS,

176
00:10:11,211 --> 00:10:14,114
THE BANGLE BUTT, 
AND MORE CUTE UTEs THAN YOU CAN

177
00:10:14,214 --> 00:10:15,748
SHAKE A DIPSTICK AT.

178
00:10:15,849 --> 00:10:17,917
AND WHAT CAN WE SAY ABOUT 
TRUCKS,

179
00:10:18,017 --> 00:10:19,953
OTHER THAN THEY TEND TO GET 
BIGGER AND BOLDER

180
00:10:20,053 --> 00:10:22,155
WITH EACH NEW GENERATION?

181
00:10:22,255 --> 00:10:26,226
PICKUPS NOW EQUALLY AT HOME ON 
THE JOB SITE OR OUT ON THE TOWN

182
00:10:26,326 --> 00:10:29,262
HAS BROUGHT BIG CHANGES IN 
CONTENT AND COMFORT,

183
00:10:29,362 --> 00:10:33,733
AS WE WON'T SEE THIS BODY STYLE 
DISAPPEARING ANYTIME SOON.

184
00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:36,302
INTERIOR DESIGN HAS 
COME A LONG WAY AS WELL,

185
00:10:36,402 --> 00:10:39,906
WITH PLAIN ROUND ANALOG GAUGES 
GIVING WAY TO THE VIDEO GAME

186
00:10:40,006 --> 00:10:43,009
LOOK OF THE DIGITAL ERA, 
AND THE VIRTUAL TOUCH-SCREEN

187
00:10:43,109 --> 00:10:45,011
WORLD WE SEE TODAY.

188
00:10:45,111 --> 00:10:48,148
EVEN THE IMPROVED QUALITY 
AND FEEL OF INTERIOR MATERIALS

189
00:10:48,248 --> 00:10:51,551
HAS GIVEN DESIGNERS MORE FREEDOM 
OF EXPRESSION.

190
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:55,088
UNIVERSAL ROUND AND RECTANGULAR 
SEALED BEAM HEADLAMPS LIMITED

191
00:10:55,188 --> 00:10:57,924
A DESIGNER'S VISION TO CERTAIN 
PREDICTABLE SHAPES,

192
00:10:58,024 --> 00:11:02,495
WHILE MODERN XENON, 
HID BULBS AND NOW FULL LEDs

193
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:06,766
ALLOW THE LIGHTS THEMSELVES TO 
BECOME MAJOR STYLING THEMES.

194
00:11:06,866 --> 00:11:10,036
WHILE WE DON'T MOURN THE DEMISE 
OF LANDAU ROOFS,

195
00:11:10,136 --> 00:11:12,839
FAUX WOOD PANELING, 
AND WIRE WHEEL HUBCAPS,

196
00:11:12,939 --> 00:11:15,041
WE DO MISS SOME OF 
THE WONDERFULLY UNIQUE,

197
00:11:15,141 --> 00:11:18,578
PROUDLY QUIRKY DESIGNS THAT HAVE 
PASSED THROUGH OUR TEST LOT.

198
00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:22,448
IT'S HARD TO PREDICT WHAT WILL 
DRIVE TOMORROW'S CAR STYLING,

199
00:11:22,549 --> 00:11:25,852
BUT WITH INCREASING SAFETY 
REGULATIONS AND AERODYNAMICS

200
00:11:25,952 --> 00:11:28,454
BECOMING A MAJOR FACTOR IN 
ALL DESIGNS,

201
00:11:28,555 --> 00:11:32,025
IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT CARS WILL 
CONTINUE TO LOOK MORE ALIKE

202
00:11:32,125 --> 00:11:33,526
THAN DIFFERENT.

203
00:11:33,626 --> 00:11:36,462
BUT WE'LL STILL SEEK OUT 
AND APPLAUD THOSE DESIGNS

204
00:11:36,563 --> 00:11:39,232
THAT PLACE A VALUE ON STYLE.

205
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,874
John: YOU KNOW PAT, IT'S REALLY 
SAD TO LOOK AT OUR OLD

206
00:11:47,974 --> 00:11:52,078
GOSS' GARAGE SET BEING BASICALLY 
NOW, AN ENGINEERING GRAVEYARD.

207
00:11:52,178 --> 00:11:55,315
DO YOU REALIZE WE'VE OUTGROWN 
THREE GOSS' GARAGE SETS

208
00:11:55,415 --> 00:11:58,017
OVER 35 YEARS, 
AND THAT YOU'VE PRODUCED OVER

209
00:11:58,117 --> 00:12:00,520
900 GOSS' GARAGE SEGMENTS.

210
00:12:00,620 --> 00:12:02,822
THAT'S A LOT OF CAR CARE ADVICE!

211
00:12:02,922 --> 00:12:05,458
Pat Goss:  YEAH, IT SURE IS, 
AND TO THINK THAT IT ALMOST

212
00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:06,526
DIDN'T HAPPEN.

213
00:12:06,626 --> 00:12:08,895
REMEMBER IN THE PILOT, 
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE

214
00:12:08,995 --> 00:12:12,999
"MOTORSHOP" AND CRAIG SINGHAUS 
WAS GOING TO BE THE HOST!

215
00:12:13,099 --> 00:12:14,200
WELL, 
I GUESS IF THAT HAD HAPPENED,

216
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:16,035
I COULD HAVE DONE THE HIGH ROAD 
SEGMENTS!

217
00:12:16,135 --> 00:12:17,370
John: OH, 
I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING,

218
00:12:17,470 --> 00:12:20,707
I THINK IT HAS WORKED OUT 
PERFECTLY JUST THE WAY IT IS.

219
00:12:20,807 --> 00:12:22,108
Pat: YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.

220
00:12:24,510 --> 00:12:27,914
I SURE DON'T MISS THAT HOT NOISY 
GAS STATION WE FILMED IN FOR OUR

221
00:12:28,014 --> 00:12:29,983
PILOT EPISODE.

222
00:12:30,083 --> 00:12:32,585
MOVING IN HERE, 
THE ACTUAL PARKING GARAGE FOR

223
00:12:32,685 --> 00:12:35,788
THE STATION'S REMOTE TV TRUCK, 
WAS A LUXURY.

224
00:12:35,888 --> 00:12:39,025
BUT, I DO REMEMBER HOW CRAMPED 
THIS SET WAS.

225
00:12:39,125 --> 00:12:41,995
BY THE TIME WE GOT A CAR 
AND A COUPLE CAMERAS IN HERE,

226
00:12:42,095 --> 00:12:44,330
I COULD BARELY TURN AROUND!

227
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:47,767
IN 2004, 
WE TOOK OVER OUR CURRENT STUDIO,

228
00:12:47,867 --> 00:12:51,137
A FORMER CARPENTER SHOP FOR 
BUILDING PROPS, AND SCENERY,

229
00:12:51,237 --> 00:12:56,109
AND HAVE EXPANDED OUR BOUNDARIES 
TWO OR THREE TIMES SINCE THEN.

230
00:12:56,209 --> 00:13:00,179
HAVING A WORKING LIFT, 
AND ROOM TO SPARE HAS HELPED

231
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,516
TO DELIVER BETTER INFORMATION 
TO THE VIEWERS,

232
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:05,151
AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT 
FOR ME.

233
00:13:05,251 --> 00:13:08,821
BUT WHAT'S REALLY AMAZING TO ME 
IS HOW FAR AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY

234
00:13:08,921 --> 00:13:10,456
HAS PROGRESSED.

235
00:13:10,556 --> 00:13:13,726
IN 1981, 
WE DIDN'T HAVE COMPUTERS

236
00:13:13,826 --> 00:13:16,629
IN OUR OFFICES, 
MUCH LESS IN OUR CARS!

237
00:13:16,729 --> 00:13:19,632
LOOKING BACK AT SOME OF THOSE 
EARLY SHOWS,

238
00:13:19,732 --> 00:13:23,936
IT'S SHOCKING JUST HOW CRUDE 
CARS WERE IN THE EARLY '80s,

239
00:13:24,037 --> 00:13:27,140
AND HOW MUCH WE TAKE FOR GRANTED 
TODAY.

240
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,908
TAKE BRAKES FOR INSTANCE.

241
00:13:29,008 --> 00:13:32,245
YOU'D HAVE THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY 
IF I'D SAID THAT "CARS WOULD

242
00:13:32,345 --> 00:13:35,548
ONE DAY STOP THEMSELVES 
TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT."

243
00:13:35,648 --> 00:13:38,651
AT THE TIME, 
ABS WAS VIRTUALLY UNHEARD OF.

244
00:13:38,751 --> 00:13:42,588
WE WERE IMPRESSED THEN WHEN 
A CAR HAD FOUR-WHEEL DISCS.

245
00:13:42,689 --> 00:13:45,325
A GOOD STOPPING DISTANCE ON 
THE TEST TRACK WAS SOME

246
00:13:45,425 --> 00:13:48,227
THIRTY FEET LONGER THAN TODAY'S 
AVERAGE.

247
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:51,564
THAT'S ABOUT THE LENGTH OF 
TWO BIG SUVs,

248
00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:56,235
AND WAS USUALLY ACCOMPANIED BY 
COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF TIRE SMOKE!

249
00:13:56,336 --> 00:13:59,539
WHILE RADIAL TIRES WERE BY 
THEN UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED,

250
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:03,242
THEY WERE ALSO UNIVERSALLY 
MEDIOCRE IN PERFORMANCE.

251
00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:06,412
FERRARI'S AND PORSCHE'S WORE 
RUBBER UNSUITED FOR TODAY'S

252
00:14:06,512 --> 00:14:08,114
ECONOBOXES.

253
00:14:08,214 --> 00:14:12,919
13 INCH WHEELS WERE THE NORM, 
WHILE 15s WERE A BIG DEAL.

254
00:14:13,019 --> 00:14:17,023
THAT'S A FAR CRY FROM 
TODAY'S 22-INCH MONSTERS.

255
00:14:17,123 --> 00:14:19,692
A LUXURY CAR WAS ANYTHING WITH 
LEATHER SEATS,

256
00:14:19,792 --> 00:14:23,062
AND POWER WINDOWS, 
OR BETTER YET, CRUISE CONTROL.

257
00:14:23,162 --> 00:14:25,798
A CASSETTE DECK WAS 
CONSIDERED STATE OF THE ART,

258
00:14:25,898 --> 00:14:28,801
NAVIGATION REQUIRED 
A PASSENGER AND A MAP,

259
00:14:28,901 --> 00:14:32,438
AND DUAL-ZONE CLIMATE CONTROLS 
MEANT YOU OPENED BOTH

260
00:14:32,538 --> 00:14:34,073
FRONT WINDOWS.

261
00:14:34,173 --> 00:14:37,710
THE TYPICAL CAR CAME EQUIPPED 
WITH A THREE-SPEED AUTOMATIC,

262
00:14:37,810 --> 00:14:41,247
OR MAYBE A 4-SPEED MANUAL 
TRANSMISSION.

263
00:14:41,347 --> 00:14:45,418
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT 
6-RATIO GEARBOXES WOULD BECOME

264
00:14:45,518 --> 00:14:50,223
THE NORM, AND THAT ANYBODY 
WOULD EVER NEED 9-GEARS?

265
00:14:50,323 --> 00:14:54,527
THE CVT TRANSMISSION CAME 
AND WENT WITH THE SUBARU JUSTY

266
00:14:54,627 --> 00:14:58,965
IN THE EARLY '90s, BUT IS BACK 
NOW AND BETTER THAN EVER.

267
00:14:59,065 --> 00:15:02,702
THE OLD SLUSHBOX AUTOMATICS OF 
THE '80s AND '90s WOULD NEVER BE

268
00:15:02,802 --> 00:15:06,005
AN ENTHUSIAST'S CHOICE, 
BUT TODAY'S DUAL-CLUTCH,

269
00:15:06,105 --> 00:15:10,009
PADDLE-SHIFT GEARBOXES ARE 
SO INTUITIVE AND QUICK,

270
00:15:10,109 --> 00:15:13,846
THE THIRD PEDAL IS NOW SEEN AS 
A HINDRANCE WHEN THE GOING GETS

271
00:15:13,946 --> 00:15:15,181
FAST.

272
00:15:15,281 --> 00:15:19,385
IF YOU WANTED AN ALL-WEATHER 
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE CAR IN 1981,

273
00:15:19,485 --> 00:15:22,355
YOU HAD TO SHOP FOR 
AN AUDI OR A SUBARU.

274
00:15:22,455 --> 00:15:25,758
NOW THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 
MANUFACTURERS PEDDLING THE

275
00:15:25,858 --> 00:15:28,361
ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE ADVANTAGE.

276
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:32,365
ELECTRIC CARS IN THE '80S WERE 
HOME BUILT CONTRAPTIONS OR

277
00:15:32,465 --> 00:15:37,270
ONE-OFF CONVERSIONS LOADED 
DOWN WITH LEAD-ACID BATTERIES,

278
00:15:37,370 --> 00:15:41,507
A FAR CRY FROM THE LITHIUM-ION 
POWERED EV AND HYBRID VEHICLES

279
00:15:41,607 --> 00:15:45,511
OF TODAY THAT PROVE GREEN 
MOTORING CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED

280
00:15:45,611 --> 00:15:47,480
WITHOUT COMPROMISE.

281
00:15:47,580 --> 00:15:51,918
YES INDEED JOHN, WE TAKE MANY 
THINGS FOR GRANTED THESE DAYS

282
00:15:52,018 --> 00:15:56,589
THAT WERE DISMISSED AS SCIENCE 
FICTION 25 YEARS AGO:

283
00:15:56,689 --> 00:15:59,258
ACTIVE SUSPENSIONS, 
NAVIGATION SYSTEMS,

284
00:15:59,358 --> 00:16:01,861
100,000 MILE WARRANTIES.

285
00:16:01,961 --> 00:16:04,997
BUT THERE'S ONE THING THAT AUTO 
ENGINEERS HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO

286
00:16:05,097 --> 00:16:08,935
DO AWAY WITH, 
DESPITE ALL THE COMPUTERS,

287
00:16:09,035 --> 00:16:12,972
ALL THE SENSORS AND BILLIONS 
OF DEVELOPMENT DOLLARS,

288
00:16:13,072 --> 00:16:16,142
AND THAT IS SIMPLE 
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE.

289
00:16:16,242 --> 00:16:18,411
I SAID IT IN OUR VERY FIRST 
SHOW,

290
00:16:18,511 --> 00:16:21,514
AND IT STILL HOLDS TRUE TODAY...

291
00:16:21,614 --> 00:16:24,784
"THE ONE SINGLE THING THAT IS 
MOST IMPORTANT AS FAR AS

292
00:16:24,884 --> 00:16:29,755
THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF YOUR 
CAR, IS CHANGING THE OIL."

293
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,730
John: IN 1983 WE STARTED OUR 
ANNUAL MOTORWEEK

294
00:17:10,830 --> 00:17:12,465
DRIVERS' CHOICE AWARDS.

295
00:17:12,565 --> 00:17:15,735
SO NAMED BECAUSE THE WINNERS IN 
EACH CATEGORY ARE THE MODELS

296
00:17:15,835 --> 00:17:17,803
WE LIKE DRIVING THE BEST.

297
00:17:17,904 --> 00:17:20,606
STILL, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BE 
100 PERCENT CORRECT

298
00:17:20,706 --> 00:17:22,808
100 PERCENT OF THE TIME.

299
00:17:22,909 --> 00:17:26,979
SO HERE ARE A FEW OF OUR MORE 
MEMORABLE HITS AND MISSES.

300
00:17:30,650 --> 00:17:33,452
OUR MOST PROLIFIC WINNERS 
HAVE BEEN THE DODGE CARAVAN,

301
00:17:33,553 --> 00:17:36,322
PLYMOUTH VOYAGER 
AND CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY,

302
00:17:36,422 --> 00:17:40,092
RACKING UP A TOTAL OF 
13 VICTORIES AS BEST MINIVAN.

303
00:17:40,192 --> 00:17:43,663
NOT SURPRISING, SINCE 
THEY INVENTED THE CLASS.

304
00:17:43,763 --> 00:17:46,465
BUT TRUTHFULLY, MOST OF OUR 
CHOICES HAVE BEEN RIGHT

305
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:50,803
FOR THE TIME, AND GENERALLY HAVE 
STOOD THE TEST OF TIME.

306
00:17:50,903 --> 00:17:54,040
YET, AS THE CAR MARKET 
AND BUYING HABITS HAVE CHANGED,

307
00:17:54,140 --> 00:17:55,575
SO HAVE OUR CATEGORIES.

308
00:17:55,675 --> 00:17:59,679
IN FACT, THE ONLY CATEGORY TO 
BE INCLUDED ON EVERY AWARD LIST

309
00:17:59,779 --> 00:18:03,349
SINCE 1983 IS BEST LUXURY CAR.

310
00:18:03,449 --> 00:18:07,119
CADILLAC HAS TAKEN TOP HONORS 
THERE WITH 4 DIFFERENT MODELS,

311
00:18:07,219 --> 00:18:13,125
INCLUDING THE ODD-DUCK, AND VERY 
FORGETTABLE CATERA IN 1997.

312
00:18:13,225 --> 00:18:16,329
A FEW CATEGORIES HAVE BEEN 
ONE-YEAR WONDERS LIKE

313
00:18:16,429 --> 00:18:18,731
BEST TECHNOLOGY, 
BEST EXAMPLE OF

314
00:18:18,831 --> 00:18:23,769
THE AUTOMOTIVE ART AND 
1984s BEST AUTOMOTIVE ODDITY,

315
00:18:23,869 --> 00:18:26,405
THE MONTE CARLO SS.

316
00:18:26,505 --> 00:18:31,344
OUR ODDEST PICK SO FAR IS 
ARGUABLY THE RAGTOP DODGE DAKOTA

317
00:18:31,444 --> 00:18:34,413
PICKUP AS BEST CONVERTIBLE 
FOR 1990.

318
00:18:34,513 --> 00:18:37,683
DODGE DESCRIBED IT AS 
THE ULTIMATE FUN TRUCK,

319
00:18:37,783 --> 00:18:39,251
AND WE AGREED.

320
00:18:39,352 --> 00:18:40,353
THEN...

321
00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:44,690
...BUT WE CAN'T HONESTLY 
SAY WE'VE SEEN ONE SINCE.

322
00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:47,960
BUT FOR OUR CLEAR MISSES, 
WE'LL NOMINATE CHRYSLER'S

323
00:18:48,060 --> 00:18:53,332
1988 EAGLE PREMIER, 
THE 1989 PEUGEOT 405,

324
00:18:53,432 --> 00:18:56,936
AND THE 1991 MERCURY CAPRI.

325
00:18:57,036 --> 00:18:59,572
WE PROCLAIMED THEM BEST IN 
CLASS.

326
00:18:59,672 --> 00:19:03,109
AND THEN WATCHED AS THEIR 
SALES TANKED AND ALL THREE WERE

327
00:19:03,209 --> 00:19:06,512
JUST AS QUICKLY AXED WITHOUT 
REMORSE.

328
00:19:06,612 --> 00:19:09,015
HEY GUYS, NO HARD FEELINGS?

329
00:19:12,118 --> 00:19:14,353
WHY HELLO, 
AND WELCOME AGAIN TO MOTORWEEK ,

330
00:19:14,453 --> 00:19:19,091
IT'S GLAD TO HAVE YOU... 
[LAUGHS]

331
00:19:19,191 --> 00:19:23,129
Patrick Lucas: ...WHOAAA, 
WE ARE GOING FAST!

332
00:19:23,229 --> 00:19:26,766
Pat: SOMETHING VERY 
INTERESTING, AND COULD MAKE YOUR 
CAR

333
00:19:26,866 --> 00:19:28,668
SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW...

334
00:19:28,768 --> 00:19:31,270
Patrick: ..THAT WAS... 
55 MILES AN HOUR.

335
00:19:31,370 --> 00:19:33,305
Ben Davis: ..UM, I GUESS WE HAVE 
ONLINE DATING TO BLAME

336
00:19:33,406 --> 00:19:34,774
FOR ALL THAT.

337
00:19:34,874 --> 00:19:36,842
ALL THESE ONLINE DATING 
WEBSITES...

338
00:19:36,942 --> 00:19:37,710
Pat: TO THE BACK OF THE VAN.

339
00:19:37,810 --> 00:19:38,744
.. TO THE BACK OF THE VAN.

340
00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:39,712
.. TO THE BACK OF THE VAN.

341
00:19:39,812 --> 00:19:40,646
.. THIS IS THE BACK OF THE VAN.

342
00:19:40,746 --> 00:19:42,214
.. I'M AT THE BACK OF THE VAN.

343
00:19:42,314 --> 00:19:43,983
Lisa Barrow: IT'S CALLED 
"THE INCREDIBLE CALYPSO BEVERAGE

344
00:19:44,083 --> 00:19:45,451
HOLDER," 
AND AS YOU CAN SEE,

345
00:19:45,551 --> 00:19:49,889
WHEN I TILT THE BACK OF THIS... 
[LAUGHS]

346
00:19:49,989 --> 00:19:52,124
Yoli: IN FACT, DISTRACTED 
DRIVING.

347
00:19:52,224 --> 00:19:54,827
..IS IT AND MORE, 
IT'S "OR MORE SPECIFICALLY...

348
00:19:54,927 --> 00:19:58,831
Greg Carloss: WHICH IS WHY IT'S 
IN THE SPORT TRIM LINE...

349
00:19:58,931 --> 00:20:01,300
...MAN, SAY IT RIGHT...

350
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,036
Yoli: ..WHERE'S THE SEATBELT ON 
THIS THING? [LAUGHS]

351
00:20:04,136 --> 00:20:06,205
John: WELL HELLO, 
AND WELCOME AGAIN TO MOTORWEEK ,

352
00:20:06,305 --> 00:20:09,709
WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU TESTED... 
[LAUGHS]

353
00:20:09,809 --> 00:20:13,012
Zach Maskell: HAHAHA... 
GODZILLA!

354
00:20:13,112 --> 00:20:16,182
Ben: YEAAAAHHHHH!

355
00:20:16,282 --> 00:20:19,051
Yoli: DON'T KILL ME, NOW! 
"DON'T KILL ME, NOW!

356
00:20:19,151 --> 00:20:20,352
OH BOY!

357
00:20:20,453 --> 00:20:22,955
John: ..AND A REAL PLACE, 
WHERE THE SUN RUNS ON CARS.

358
00:20:23,055 --> 00:20:24,924
...NO! [LAUGHS]

359
00:20:25,024 --> 00:20:26,959
John: ..I'M JOHN DAVIS, 
WE'LL SEE YOU THEN...

360
00:20:27,059 --> 00:20:35,234
OH... [LAUGHS]

361
00:20:35,334 --> 00:20:36,802
John: HEY ZACH, 
WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?

362
00:20:36,902 --> 00:20:39,038
Zach : AH, I'M JUST RESEARCHING 
SOME SEGMENT IDEAS FOR OUR

363
00:20:39,138 --> 00:20:40,873
35TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON.

364
00:20:40,973 --> 00:20:42,041
John: WELL, YOU'VE 
COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.

365
00:20:42,141 --> 00:20:45,044
THESE TAPE ARCHIVES HAVE 
THOUSANDS OF GREAT FEATURE

366
00:20:45,144 --> 00:20:48,114
STORIES FROM CRAIG SINGHAUS, 
LISA BARROW, HENRY KOPAZ,

367
00:20:48,214 --> 00:20:50,716
STEVEN CHUPNICK, 
AND EVEN A FEW OF MINE.

368
00:20:50,816 --> 00:20:52,918
IF YOU LOOK HARD ENOUGH, 
I THINK YOU COME UP WITH

369
00:20:53,018 --> 00:20:54,787
SOME GREAT INSPIRATION.

370
00:20:54,887 --> 00:20:56,355
GOOD LUCK!

371
00:20:58,090 --> 00:21:00,092
Zach: GOODLUCK. 
AH, HE'S A FUNNY GUY.

372
00:21:00,192 --> 00:21:03,429
I TELL YOU WHAT, 
WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN?

373
00:21:03,529 --> 00:21:04,630
Craig Singhaus: HERE, 
TRY THIS ONE.

374
00:21:04,730 --> 00:21:07,500
IT'S MY STORY OF DRIVING 
THE OSCAR MEYER WEINERMOBILE.

375
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:08,434
Zach: CRAIG SINGHAUS!

376
00:21:08,534 --> 00:21:09,168
WHAT'S GOING ON?

377
00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:10,469
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

378
00:21:10,569 --> 00:21:12,438
CRAIG: AH, THINK OF ME AS 
THE GHOST OF MOTORWEEK'S PAST.

379
00:21:12,538 --> 00:21:14,774
Zach: LAST TIME I SAW YOU, 
YOU HAD A TRUCKER HAT

380
00:21:14,874 --> 00:21:16,375
AND A CAMARO T-SHIRT ON!

381
00:21:16,475 --> 00:21:17,610
Craig: I STILL HAVE 
THAT HAT!

382
00:21:17,710 --> 00:21:21,313
BUT SERIOUSLY, WHENEVER I WANTED 
TO LOOK FOR A GOOD STORY,

383
00:21:21,413 --> 00:21:23,749
I WOULD JUST LOOK FOR A BUNCH 
OF GUYS AND GALS HAVING

384
00:21:23,849 --> 00:21:26,485
A GREAT TIME WITH THEIR CARS, 
AND THEN,

385
00:21:26,585 --> 00:21:28,587
THERE WAS SURE TO BE A GREAT 
STORY BEHIND IT.

386
00:21:28,687 --> 00:21:31,290
Zach: SO, EVERYONE IS WELL 
FAMILIAR WITH YOUR WEINERMOBILE

387
00:21:31,390 --> 00:21:31,924
STORY.

388
00:21:32,024 --> 00:21:33,125
..TELL ME ABOUT THAT.

389
00:21:33,225 --> 00:21:35,594
Craig: WELL ACTUALLY, 
I DROVE THREE GENERATIONS OF

390
00:21:35,694 --> 00:21:36,829
THE WEINERMOBILE.

391
00:21:36,929 --> 00:21:42,501
I DROVE A 1968, A 1988, 
AND A 1996.

392
00:21:42,601 --> 00:21:46,071
AND YOU MIGHT SAY I RELISHED 
THE OPPORTUNITY.

393
00:21:46,172 --> 00:21:48,007
Zach: SO, I KNOW YOU LIKE TO 
BE INVOLVED IN YOUR STORIES,

394
00:21:48,107 --> 00:21:49,809
RATHER THAN JUST REPORTING 
ABOUT THEM.

395
00:21:49,909 --> 00:21:51,944
WHAT WERE SOME OF THE MORE 
MEMORABLE ONES?

396
00:21:52,044 --> 00:21:54,480
Craig: WELL, THE IDEA WAS 
THAT I DID THE THINGS THAT A LOT

397
00:21:54,580 --> 00:21:56,682
OF OUR VIEWERS WOULD WANT TO 
PARTICIPATE IN.

398
00:21:56,782 --> 00:22:01,320
FOR EXAMPLE, I GOT TO RIDE IN 
A P-51 MUSTANG FIGHTER PLANE.

399
00:22:01,420 --> 00:22:04,089
ONE TIME, I KIND OF RODE IN 
THE GOODYEAR BLIMP.

400
00:22:04,190 --> 00:22:05,958
IT WAS ACTUALLY A REALLY 
WINDY DAY,

401
00:22:06,058 --> 00:22:08,761
SO WE WERE ONLY ABOUT 25 FEET 
OFF THE GROUND.

402
00:22:08,861 --> 00:22:11,096
BUT HEY, 
I WAS RIDING IN THE BLIMP!

403
00:22:11,197 --> 00:22:12,464
Zach: RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT...

404
00:22:12,565 --> 00:22:13,899
ANY STORIES THAT REALLY HIT 
HOME FOR YOU,

405
00:22:13,999 --> 00:22:15,868
THAT YOU GOT PERSONALLY 
ATTACHED TO?

406
00:22:15,968 --> 00:22:18,737
Craig: WELL, I'LL TELL YOU, 
BACK IN THE LATE 1990s,

407
00:22:18,838 --> 00:22:21,240
I ACTUALLY WENT BACK TO 
NORMANDY, FRANCE

408
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:24,476
AND RETRACED THE STEPS 
THAT THE ALLIES TOOK DURING

409
00:22:24,577 --> 00:22:27,112
THE NORMANDY INVASION IN 1944.

410
00:22:27,213 --> 00:22:28,581
IT WAS A REAL LIFE CHANGER 
FOR ME.

411
00:22:28,681 --> 00:22:30,816
REKINDLED MY INTEREST IN 
HISTORY.

412
00:22:30,916 --> 00:22:32,751
Zach: YOU MUST HAVE MET SOME 
PRETTY INCREDIBLE PEOPLE

413
00:22:32,852 --> 00:22:33,853
ALONG THE WAY.

414
00:22:33,953 --> 00:22:36,188
Craig: I TELL YOU, 
SOME OF THEM WERE FAMOUS,

415
00:22:36,288 --> 00:22:37,156
AND SOME OF THEM WEREN'T.

416
00:22:37,256 --> 00:22:39,458
SOME WERE JUST PEOPLE WHO LOVED 
CARS.

417
00:22:39,558 --> 00:22:42,895
BUT PROBABLY THE ONE GUY THAT 
REALLY STICKS OUT IN MY MIND?

418
00:22:42,995 --> 00:22:45,064
WELL, EVER SINCE I WAS A LITTLE 
KID,

419
00:22:45,164 --> 00:22:47,233
I ALWAYS IDOLIZED 
CARROLL SHELBY.

420
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:49,869
AND IT WAS THE BIGGEST THRILL OF 
MY LIFE TO BE ABLE TO HANG OUT

421
00:22:49,969 --> 00:22:51,170
WITH HIM SEVERAL TIMES.

422
00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:53,339
HE USED TO SAY, 
"HEY, CALL ME CARROLL."

423
00:22:53,439 --> 00:22:57,176
AND I USED TO SAY, 
"YES, MR. SHELBY."

424
00:22:57,276 --> 00:22:59,378
Zach: IT SEEMS LIKE A RECURRING 
THEME THAT YOU ALWAYS HAD FUN

425
00:22:59,478 --> 00:23:01,313
FIRST IN YOUR SEGMENTS.

426
00:23:01,413 --> 00:23:04,383
Craig: WELL, NOBODY GOT RICH, 
SO THE IDEA WAS TO HAVE AS MUCH

427
00:23:04,483 --> 00:23:06,285
FUN AS YOU COULD POSSIBLY HAVE.

428
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:08,087
AND WHAT'S NOT TO HAVE FUN WITH?

429
00:23:08,187 --> 00:23:09,788
GREAT CARS, GREAT PEOPLE.

430
00:23:09,889 --> 00:23:11,190
IT WAS A TERRIFIC TIME.

431
00:23:11,290 --> 00:23:14,193
REMEMBER, HAVE FUN, FUN, FUN, 
'TIL JOHN DAVIS TAKES

432
00:23:14,293 --> 00:23:15,961
THE T BIRD AWAY!

433
00:23:16,061 --> 00:23:18,364
Lisa: HEY WAIT A MINUTE, 
HE DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE FUN!

434
00:23:18,464 --> 00:23:19,698
Zach: LISA BARROW!

435
00:23:19,798 --> 00:23:21,567
I WAS JUST TALKING TO CRAIG, 
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE WENT.

436
00:23:21,667 --> 00:23:22,301
HOW ARE YOU?

437
00:23:22,401 --> 00:23:23,102
Lisa: I'M GREAT!

438
00:23:23,202 --> 00:23:24,169
IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK HERE.

439
00:23:24,270 --> 00:23:25,271
Zach: OKAY, SO HOW ABOUT YOU?

440
00:23:25,371 --> 00:23:27,339
WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR STORY 
IDEAS?

441
00:23:27,439 --> 00:23:29,241
Lisa: YOU KNOW, 
IF IT INVOLVED ADVENTURE,

442
00:23:29,341 --> 00:23:31,744
AND SEEING THE WORLD, 
I WAS THERE.

443
00:23:31,844 --> 00:23:35,381
AND USUALLY THAT INVOLVED 
OFF-ROADING EVENTS AND THINGS,

444
00:23:35,481 --> 00:23:38,617
SO HAD A PRETTY GOOD TIME GOING 
TO PLACES LIKE AUSTRALIA,

445
00:23:38,717 --> 00:23:41,387
WHERE I GOT TO LEARN TO DRIVE 
IN THE SAND FOR THE FIRST TIME.

446
00:23:41,487 --> 00:23:43,856
MONGOLIA AND MOROCCO.

447
00:23:43,956 --> 00:23:46,692
MOROCCO WAS PROBABLY THE FIRST 
OFF-ROADING EVENT

448
00:23:46,792 --> 00:23:49,361
WHERE I REALLY THOUGHT, 
"WHOA, I AM NOT

449
00:23:49,461 --> 00:23:50,596
IN KANSAS ANYMORE."

450
00:23:50,696 --> 00:23:52,298
Zach: WELL, THAT ALWAYS 
MAKES FOR SOME GREAT VIDEO.

451
00:23:52,398 --> 00:23:53,032
ABSOLUTELY!

452
00:23:53,132 --> 00:23:53,899
Lisa: IT WAS CRAZY...

453
00:23:53,999 --> 00:23:55,034
IT WAS FUN THOUGH, 
LEARNED A LOT.

454
00:23:55,134 --> 00:23:56,135
Zach: SO, HOW ABOUT THE PEOPLE?

455
00:23:56,235 --> 00:23:57,569
WHO DID YOU COME ACROSS ON 
THESE TRIPS?

456
00:23:57,670 --> 00:23:59,138
ANYBODY VERY MEMORABLE?

457
00:23:59,238 --> 00:24:01,874
Lisa: YOU KNOW, 
I WOULD HAVE TO SAY,

458
00:24:01,974 --> 00:24:03,142
THERE'S A LOT.

459
00:24:03,242 --> 00:24:07,212
BUT DENISE MCCLUGGAGE WAS 
AMAZING TO SPEND TIME WITH HER.

460
00:24:07,313 --> 00:24:10,582
ACTUALLY, ONE OF MY FIRST 
STORIES WAS GOING OVERSEAS

461
00:24:10,683 --> 00:24:11,784
WITH DENISE.

462
00:24:11,884 --> 00:24:14,253
IT WAS THE BURDE BENZ RALLY.

463
00:24:14,353 --> 00:24:16,255
I GOT TO SHARE A CAR WITH HER.

464
00:24:16,355 --> 00:24:21,060
AND IT WAS A 1912 MERCEDES-BENZ 
WAGON IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY.

465
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,295
AND THAT THING WAS SO HARD 
TO SHIFT.

466
00:24:23,395 --> 00:24:25,597
IT'S GOT THE SHIFT OUTSIDE 
THE DOOR,

467
00:24:25,698 --> 00:24:28,968
AND I HAD TO USE TWO HANDS 
TO DO IT, IT WAS INCREDIBLE.

468
00:24:29,068 --> 00:24:31,170
BUT DENISE, SHE GOT INTO IT, 
AND SHE JUST DID IT.

469
00:24:31,270 --> 00:24:34,173
AND I REALLY SAW HER COMPETITIVE 
SIDE.

470
00:24:34,273 --> 00:24:35,541
IT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE.

471
00:24:35,641 --> 00:24:38,110
Zach: HOW ABOUT, WHEN IT COMES 
TO BEING ACTUALLY A PART OF

472
00:24:38,210 --> 00:24:39,445
THESE STORY?

473
00:24:39,545 --> 00:24:41,146
YOU KNOW, WE DO SOME REPORTING, 
BUT WE REALLY FEEL A PART OF

474
00:24:41,246 --> 00:24:41,914
THEM SOMETIMES.

475
00:24:42,014 --> 00:24:43,849
ANY MEMORABLE ONES THERE?

476
00:24:43,949 --> 00:24:44,950
Lisa: OH YEAH!

477
00:24:45,050 --> 00:24:48,454
I REMEMBER THE TANK STORY.

478
00:24:48,554 --> 00:24:50,622
I DON'T KNOW, IT WAS ONE OF 
THOSE THINGS WHERE WE WENT UP TO

479
00:24:50,723 --> 00:24:51,824
