Part II for the week. We review some listener comments from prior shows, Todd talks about the new Webb Motorsports High Density Induction Box (which looks pretty cool to us) and, if you can believe, we go ahead and talk about wheels. Plus, the continuation of Roberts audio sound tour with a non-MINI owner. Definitely worth listening in to the last few minutes of the show.

Don’t forget there are now more ways to contact us! You can always leave a comment below, shoot us an email to feedback@whiteroofradio.com or leave us a voice message at (206) 33-WHITE.
