Sounding Board: Car Talk


Thanks to everyone who called or wrote in this week!

We had calls from Scott in Nome who inquired about an issue with the transwarp drive on his shuttlecraft. We also heard from Randy who had multiple questions about the best cars for Nome, different brands of oils and what parts we commonly see breaking down in the area. And Joanne in Unalakleet asked how often she should drive her car around to keep it winter ready.

Emails were big this week. Betsy in Nome asked about the best time to start plugging in her car engine in the winter. Jake in Nome wondered about the pros and cons of an electric vehicle in town. Eva in Nome asked about fuel vs. diesel vehicles, and Matt, also in Nome, wrote in about winter tires.

And a huge thanks to Rolland Trowbridge from Trinity Sail and Repair in Nome for joining us in the studio and lending us his expertise.
