In this episode, Aaron Clements, Jamie Bridges, and David Clark return to the studio after a remote broadcast at Gas Pro (with a stop at the first East Coast Foster’s Freeze). The crew debates the merits of a new Purolator 20,000-mile oil filter and interviews Standard Motor Products marketing director Aaron Shaffer about aftermarket part improvements. They also tackle listener questions like troubleshooting a Subaru’s beeping radio mystery and avoiding a $10,000 air suspension repair on a Jaguar, and engage in a heated discussion on rising insurance premiums and the growing trend of subscription-based car features.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
