John and Adam tackle car modifications. When does a tasteful upgrade tip over into ruining a perfectly good car?

They make the case that driver training beats almost any mod, dismantle the "pretender" mentality behind chasing big horsepower and pro-grade gear, and break down why a parked car is the easiest crash to avoid.

Plus a frank look at airbag deployment realities, the proper way to hold a steering wheel, and a no-holds-barred case against dealer servicing.
