In Wheel Time - Cartalk Radio

Want a drive that actually feels like driving? We chart Texas routes that reward focus and finesse—FM 170 along Big Bend Ranch State Park with vast desert sight lines, the short-but-epic Palo Duro descent into red rock, Devil’s Backbone across Hill Country ridges, the razor-tight Park Road 37 by Medina Lake, and the legendary Twisted Sisters with its switchbacks, blind crests, and breathtaking ranchland vistas. You’ll get practical advice on when to go, what to watch, and how to prep so the only surprise is the view around the next bend.Then we flip the script and explore the wild side of automotive branding. Porsche’s chef-level knives, Honda’s quietly brilliant HondaJet, BMW and McLaren’s high-end bicycles, Peugeot’s heritage pepper mills, Toyota’s loom-to-engine lineage, Mercedes’ limited surfboards, and Bugatti’s carbon fiber furniture show how engineering DNA travels from test tracks to kitchens, oceans, and living rooms. We dig into why these products make strategic sense—and where they’re pure theater
