The Kibbe & Friends Show

Welcome back to Hazzard County! This week, we confirm that Days of Thunder 2 is officially moving forward and discuss whether Tom Cruise can convincingly put Cole Trickle back behind the wheel of a NASCAR Cup car. We also share an update on our uncertain Moparty plans, the people representing K&F at the event, and why my General Lee will probably remain safely at home.

Bernie brings us the latest automotive news, including California’s proposed “Leno’s Law,” the return of the NHRA Winter Nationals to Pomona, John Force’s upcoming 50th anniversary in drag racing, and Ford’s decision to use Apple Maps in its future universal EV platform. We also play another round of Automotive Celebrity Birthday Trivia, discuss six-volt lighting from Ron Francis Wiring, and highlight the MSD high-torque mini starter available through Holley.

Then we review The Dukes of Hazzard Season 2, Episode 6, “The Ghost of General Lee.” After two pool hustlers steal the General Lee and drive it into Hazzard Pond, everyone believes Bo and Luke have died. Boss Hogg immediately turns the tragedy into an insurance scam, forcing the Duke boys and Cooter to transform the General Lee into a glowing, driverless ghost car. It’s funny, surprisingly emotional, and still one of my favorite episodes from the entire series. Settle in and enjoy the ride!
