DEREK DEANGELIS: Hey, welcome to "Drive Central," which is
your central location to find out everything that is
happening on Drive this week.
What's up, everybody?
I'm Derek D. You may know me from "Fast Lane Daily," which
we shoot, actually, right there.
I'm sitting in for Mike Spinelli this week, who is at
Pebble Beach Car Week and apparently getting a perm.
So, do you want to know more stuff about Drive shows, or
just mouth off to Drive hosts?
Go to /drive.tv, @drive on Twitter, facebook.com/drivetv.
All right.
This week on "Big Muscle," Mike Musto has been hitting
the gym lately, so we're going to check out his biceps, and
he'll teach you how to do an elevated squat.
Naw, I'm just kidding.
Here's a quick clip of "Big Muscle."
MIKE MUSTO: Obviously, like we said, this thing's got
performance.
Now, Harry, being Harry, was just great about letting us
drive the car and use the car.
And the cool part is you can drop this thing down, and it's
got so much torque that when you gas it--
[ENGINE REVVING]
[LAUGHTER]
It's got so much power.
I'm not giving this car back.
This one might come home with me.
This thing is bitchin', dude.
DEREK DEANGELIS: Yes, that's "Big Muscle," every Monday
this season on Drive.
And on Wednesday, we're keeping it clean with another
episode of "Drive Clean," with my boy Larry Kosilla.
He's going to school you and us on how to upgrade your
engine from a greasy mess to a clean machine.
Larry?
LARRY KOSILLA: Today I'm at Classic Car Club Manhattan,
which is like Zipcar on steroids for New Yorkers
obsessed with classic and modern supercars.
Today we're talking about how to properly clean and detail
your engine.
We have three different styles, exotic, a muscle car,
and a modern car.
There are eight main steps to detailing engines, with a few
variables depending on your engine type.
Although detailing your engine is necessary to minimize
corrosion and to keep a like-new appearance, most
people avoid doing it because of the obvious risk.
But with a few tips on preventive maintenance,
cleaning your engine compartment will be safe and
easy to do.
DEREK DEANGELIS: It's "Drive Clean" every Wednesday.
And you know, Ian, Larry actually fixed a big
scratch on my car.
I think he's gonna post that video at some point.
IAN WHELAN: That's nice.
DEREK DEANGELIS: Yeah.
Just a side note.
Chris Harris is on hiatus this week, but on "After Drive,"
Spinelli will be back, and I can guarantee it'll have
something to do with cars.
You don't got to quote me on that, but I'd say it's a solid
bet he may mention it.
All right?
And on Friday, make sure you watch "Shakedown" for the best
motorsports opinion, analysis, and attitude you'll find
anywhere on the internet at any price.
That's "Shakedown," with my fellow Italiano Leo Parente,
every Friday on Drive.
And there you have it.
That's "Drive Central" for this week.
Don't forget, you can find all of the Drive videos and some
other stuff at drive.jalopnik.com.
Hit up /drive.tv, @drive on Twitter, and
facebook.com/drivetv.
And if you saw that little t-shirt promo in the
beginning, don't forget to get your t-shirts at
driveshirts.com.
And if you're wondering who that model is, this guy.
Yep, right, Ian?
All right.
I'm Derek D. Make sure you check out my show. "Fast Lane
Daily," fastlanedaily.com, youtube.com/fastlanedaily.
Every weekday, giving you your daily dose of informative but
entertaining car news, and doing it better
than everyone else.
Commenters, you can go have a ball with that one.
Oh, Derek, you suck.
Oh, get off the Drive set.
Same set.
I sit right there.
Bye.
