~ Recorded Live from KOWS FM 92.5 ~
Having lived through the height of the Muscle Car Era, Tech Talk host Rick DeMeis knows well not to bestow the term muscle car on just any hepped-up show car coming down the pike. So, when he says the 2021 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 AWD “sounds like a muscle car,” it either is a bonafide muscle car or it’s doing a spot on impersonation of one. Listen in as he explains his exciting adventures in this full-on performance sport sedan.
Also, speaking of muscle car attributions, there’s news in this week’s podcast of a new version of the Mustang Mach E.
Want more? There’s a payload of space news from around the globe and then news briefs on a robotic weeding system and a non-surgical way to recharge implant batteries.
A weekly feature on KOWS 92.5 FM radio Newtopian Dream program hosted by RT Newt.
