This week, we take you to a Bridgestone Drive and Learn clinic at the California Speedway in Ontario, CA. Why? Because we like to spin out on wet slalom courses and knock over orange traffic cones. Why else? And while we were doing the kind of things we get ticketed for on public roadways, we learned a little bit about tire technology. Bridgestone uses its Drive and Learn events to acquaint drivers with safe wet and dry driving techniques while comparing its new tires with that of its competitors.
PROGRAM NOTE: After watching the tire test, don’t forget you can share your opinions regarding tires and brand recognition – it’s on your home page at VehicleVoice.
Also on tap, we take you on another Test Drive. David Barrett is behind the wheel again, but this time he’s taking a brand new 2006 Ford Mustang around the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Yeah, we know. David’s got a tough job. ED NOTE: Barrett gives the Mustang an unexpected upgrade by mentioning the six-disc in-dash DVD player. In reality, the mustang has an in-dash CD-player. Must have been the effects of “island life.”
