MIKE SPINELLI: That's "BIG MUSCLE," every Monday this
season on DRIVE.
And "DRIVEN" is off this week.
But this week on "DRIVE CLEAN," it's everything you've
ever wanted to know about putting on a clear bra.
MAX: What do you do about the nipples?
MIKE SPINELLI: Max wants to know what you
do about the nipples.
Let's take a look.

LARRY KOSILLA: It seems, these days, no exotic or high end
sports car is without some type of paint protection film
on the nose, mirrors, and lower rocker panels.
In fact, clear bras are offered as an option to almost
every new car buyer by their dealership,
at the time of purchase.
How is the film protection supposed to work?
Does it work?
And how is it installed and cared for?
That's all coming up today, on this episode of "DRIVE CLEAN."
MIKE SPINELLI: That's Wednesday on "DRIVE CLEAN."
And this week, on "CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS," it's the Cleo
RS and Cleo Cup Car.
For Americans who don't know anything about hot hatches,
that's a Renault.
Let's take a look.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
MIKE SPINELLI: That is "CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS," every
Wednesday on DRIVE.
And on Thursday this week, on "AFTER/DRIVE," we're talking
about the newest battle among automakers--
the war for lightness.
Let's take a look at a clip.
Horsepower is really just part of power to weight.
Now power to weight is the whole idea of building a good
car.
-It's the ultimate equation.
MIKE SPINELLI: Ultimate equation.
You want that to be as favorable as possible.
Here's the other side of that--
That's "AFTER/DRIVE," every Thursday on DRIVE.
And on Friday, it's "SHAKEDOWN" for the best
motorsports opinion, analysis, and attitude you'll find
anywhere on the internet, at any price.
This week it's SRT Viper pron--
that's "porn" spelled differently--
from the American Le Mans Series.
Let's take a look.

Wolf" Parente every Friday.
