Classic Car Doctor - July 18, 2015 - Hour 2, First Half - Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor - (855)560-9900 24/7 Hotline

The July 18, 2015 episode of Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor features Ron discussing various car repair topics and addressing listener calls, with a mix of humor and expertise. The episode begins with Ron recounting a seemingly straightforward job involving a rearview mirror repair on a 2004 Volkswagen Touareg that unexpectedly led to a larger repair involving four tires. He then thanks listeners for joining him each week and mentions that the show is returning to New York City after a long hiatus, starting on July 25th. Ron discusses an interesting article about the future of car ownership, pondering the potential shift away from personal car ownership in the next 25 years, driven by technologies like Google’s self-driving cars and ride-sharing services like Uber. He acknowledges that while self-driving cars may be possible, it’s still a long way off and discusses the cultural attachment many people have to cars, especially older generations who grew up in a car-centric culture. The episode continues with a call from a listener, Herman from Hagerstown, Maryland, who describes an issue with his 1995 Chevrolet pickup, which intermittently misfires, especially after being driven in the fields. Ron suggests the problem might be related to the ignition system and recommends using a spray bottle with water to test if moisture is affecting the ignition system. Later in the show, Ron interviews Shirley Vane, an 82-year-old Corvette enthusiast who participated in a no-speed-limit road race in Idaho. She talks about the charity event, the thrill of racing her Corvette at high speeds (with her top speed being 166 mph), and her plans to race again. Shirley shares her background in cars, including her first car, a 1946 Oldsmobile, and discusses the changes in car culture as the younger generation becomes less interested in traditional car ownership. The interview ends with Ron wishing her good luck in her upcoming race. Throughout the show, Ron adds his usual light-hearted humor, offering practical advice for car issues while also engaging with his audience about the evolving future of cars and driving.
