Carology Podcast Episode #003
Episode 003 Show Notes
My name is Mike. My name is Brian. My name is Tim A. and we are, “Carologists”!
Welcome to the third Carology podcast. This episode we engage the public in dialog to discuss all things “cars” and ultimately define car culture today. Between Life and Death is the story of our lives on the Road. The study of everything else in between is “Carology”.
This week we discover the current state of the big three automakers.
Where do we go from here? What will happen to car design and how will foreign car makers capitalize on Detroit’s economic struggle?? We continue to discuss the one thing that connects us all… cars!
If you have a question or just want to wax poetic or get poetic about wax? Tell us about your favorite car, call the Carology Voicemail at 206.350.7849.
