MIKE SPINELLI: Hey.
Welcome to "/DRIVE CENTRAL." Here's where you're going to
find out what's happening on /DRIVE this week.
Don't forget you can also keep track of us on slashdrive.tv,
@drive on Twitter, and Facebook.com/driveTV and find
out what we're doing before even we know about it.
It's pretty special.
This week on "/BIG MUSCLE," Mike Musto has a run-in with a
1959 Pontiac Bonneville.
It's pretty sweet.
Very wide track.
Let's take a look.
MIKE MUSTO: You have to get past the fact that it's not a
500 or 600 horsepower car and look at the details.
You have to look at the dashboard and look at how
everything is aircraft inspired.
You got to remember this was 1959.
This was the jet age, so everything is kind of airplane
related, right?
You've got these beautiful toggle switches that you flip
down for your temperature, your heat and whatnot.
Push buttons for the controls, not fancy or ornate.
Oh, they work.
That's even better.
MIKE SPINELLI: That's "/BIG MUSCLE,"
every Monday on /DRIVE.
And on Tuesday this week, "/DRIVEN" is off, but "/DRIVE
CLEAN" is back for Wednesday.
And Larry's talking about touch ups.
You need a little touch up?
Just ask Larry.
Let's watch.
LARRY KOSILLA: And one of the most common questions I
receive is how to properly touch up your car's paint.
In this episode, we'll discuss how to resolve chip damage
caused by dings and rocks.
Some techniques work better than others, and some
professionals and weekend warriors are more precise and
patient when it comes to the application.
As you can see on the hood of my car, the previous owner
should be commended for taking time to touch up the rock
chips, but the result wasn't
necessarily visually beautiful.
Today, I'm going to walk you through the methods I'm most
comfortable using.
The process typically takes a couple of days from start to
finish, so patience is required.
It involves four steps--
assessing, prepping, application, and leveling.
That's all coming up today on this episode of "/DRIVE
CLEAN."
MIKE SPINELLI: That's "/DRIVE CLEAN" every Wednesday.
And also on Wednesday, it's "Chris Harris on Cars." Chris
Harris is off.
And on Thursday this week, it's "AFTER/DRIVE" for a very
special podcasty version of "AFTER/DRIVE." You wanted to
know about /DRIVE?
What about /DRIVE?
Yes.
You asked, and we answered.
Let's take a look.
So I brought our own theme music to this.
-We allowed to use that?
MIKE SPINELLI: Yeah, it's fine.
It's non-commercial.
But--
-What's with the Jamaican theme?
MIKE SPINELLI: Well, we're drinking--
somehow, somebody bought Red Stripe.
[HORN BLOWING]
MIKE SPINELLI: So--
right, it fits in your whole entire palm.
-Ever been to Jamaica?
MIKE SPINELLI: Yeah, I've been--
have you been to Jamaica?
-Oh, no.
You told me.
You on a plane that crashed.
MIKE SPINELLI: Oh, my god.
Yes.
I was--
-Go ahead.
Tell your story.
MIKE SPINELLI: I was on a--
[HORN BLOWING]
[LAUGHTER]
MIKE SPINELLI: I was on a charter flight--
That's "AFTER/DRIVE," every Thursday.
And then on Friday, it's another "/SHAKEDOWN" for the
best motorsports opinion, analysis, and attitude you're
going to find anywhere on the internet at any price.
That's "/SHAKEDOWN" with Leo Parente and friends, yes, on
Friday on /DRIVE.
And that's it for "/DRIVE CENTRAL" this week.
I'm going to see you guys next week.
We'll see what happens then.
Probably something amazing.
Couldn't tell you what, but it's going to be amazing.
Trust me.
Trust me and Mike Musto.
Who wouldn't trust that guy?
He's a trustworthy guy.
That's what I'm saying.
Honest face, right, Ian?
Mike Musto has an honest face.
Got an honest [INAUDIBLE] face.
All right, see you guys later.
