Car Week: Here In My Hollywood Car Exhibit, I Feel Safest Of All

Cool Weird Awesome with Brady Carlson

We're replaying some of our favorite car-themed episodes this week, like this one from May 2019, about an exhibit at The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles called “Hollywood Dream Machines: Vehicles of Science Fiction and Fantasy.” If you’ve ever wanted to get close to the coolest rides the big screen ever shared with us – like, say, the DeLorean in “Back to the Future” – this is your chance. Plus: a guy in Arizona tries to skirt the carpool lane rules with a scheme that could have come straight out of one of the “Mannequin” movie franchise.
