Drive Thru News #70 - Vidi, Vino, Volo!

Break/Fix’s Drive Thru News #70 recaps a Midwest trip to Wisconsin and South Bend for Automotive History Live!, plus a highly recommended stop at the Volo Museum featuring movie/TV cars, props, and the “world’s fastest outhouse.” The team updates their Lemons Ford Focus revival: a new wiring harness and ECU restore starting and smooth idle, but emissions-related faults keep it in limp mode, likely requiring EVAP sensor work and a fuel-tank drop; a mid-run code clear briefly restores full power. They discuss rumored Volkswagen lineup cuts, VW’s steep operating-profit decline, and disappointing Jetta rental interior quality, along with AI/CGI car renderings, potential Toyota Celica/MR2 returns, a BMW hybrid recall, and assorted oddities including a new “Plybertruck,” Elon’s SpaceX/Tesla merger hint, and Florida Man stories. Motorsports notes include a Days of Thunder sequel, a new Voices of Endurance episode, sim-racing hardware upgrades, and a scary Goodwood crash clip.
