About this episode
Larry and his son consider rebuilding an old car together, prompting a discussion on the merits of such a project.
Larry’s 14-year-old kid wants the two of them to find an old car to rebuild so kiddo can drive it when he gets his license in a few years. What a great father/son bonding experience, right? You’d think our two hosts -who used to run a DIY repair shop years ago- might be all for it, but maybe not.
