Spring may feel close, but are you preparing your yard the right way — or setting yourself up for costly mistakes before planting season even begins? In this episode of https://FixItRadio.com, guest host Bill Anderson (https://www.prep2protectco.com/) is joined by gardening experts Pam and Dennis Brewster, longtime contributors familiar to listeners of both Fix It Radio and Drive Radio, for a practical, eye-opening deep dive into smarter gardening and landscape planning. As Colorado weather swings from warm spells to freezing mornings, the conversation reveals why late winter is actually the most important preparation season. When should you really prune trees? Are you cutting too much — or not enough? What simple tool mistakes can introduce disease without you realizing it? The Brewsters break down pruning timing, fruit tree shaping, propagation secrets, transplanting success, and how to turn yard cuttings into an endless supply of plants. But the real surprise? Gardening success often starts underground. Can any soil truly be improved? Is rototilling quietly destroying healthy soil biology? And why can neighbors just a mile apart get completely different results? From planning your garden layout and rotating crops to choosing plants that actually thrive in Colorado's climate, this episode challenges listeners to rethink everything they thought they knew about spring preparation. Before you buy a single plant, ask yourself: Are you gardening harder… or gardening smarter this year?

Compact SUVs are everywhere—but what happens when one completely surprises you?

Is this really a Prius… or something else entirely?

Is It a Truck… or Is It a Car? and Does It Actually Deliver?

Cold weather exposes every weakness—both in vehicles and drivers—and in this episode of https://Drive-Radio.com: The Extra Mile, John Rush cuts through winter driving myths with real-world experience and hard-earned advice. How long should you really warm up your car? Does it matter if you drive gas, diesel, hybrid, or EV? And are today's “experts” giving advice that actually helps—or quietly causes damage? John breaks down smart warm-up practices, explaining why temperature, engine type, and even listening to your vehicle matter more than rigid rules. He walks through diesel-specific essentials like glow plugs, block heaters, and fuel anti-gel additives—mistakes here can leave you stranded for hours. EVs and hybrids get their own reality check too, including why cold weather quietly cuts electric range far more than most drivers expect. The episode shifts from engines to the road itself, with practical winter driving tips drawn from a snowy late-night ride home. Why do jerky movements cause trouble on ice? Where should you actually position your car in snowy lanes? And why do good tires matter more than all-wheel drive? From gentle braking to steering discipline and snow removal, this hour feels less like a lecture—and more like a survival guide. If winter driving makes you uneasy—or you think you've got it all figured out—this episode may change how you start your car and drive it all season long.

Classic Cars, Value, and the Reality Check What really makes a car a classic—and is it an investment or just nostalgia with a price tag? In this episode of https://Drive-Radio.com: The Extra Mile, John Rush pulls listeners inside the real world of classic, muscle, vintage, and limited-production cars, cutting through auction hype and emotional buying. Why do some cars skyrocket in value while others quietly fade? And why do beautifully restored vehicles sometimes sell for less than worn-in originals? Using real examples from high-profile auctions to everyday barn finds, John explains how supply and demand, buyer demographics, documentation, and originality drive prices. He breaks down “numbers-matching” cars, clone builds, and why repainting or over-restoring a vehicle can actually hurt its value. Are auctions designed to help you buy smart—or push you to overpay? And how do you avoid getting upside down on a dream car? The episode also tackles inheritance scenarios, financing classic cars, and why banks often view classics as lower-risk than daily drivers. John shares practical advice on spotting problem cars fast, knowing when to walk away, and when emotion is okay—and when it absolutely isn't. Whether you're chasing a dream car, sitting on a family heirloom, or just fascinated by the collector market, this hour delivers a candid, insider look at how classic cars really work.

Is leasing really the shortcut to driving a new car every few years—or a financial trap hiding in plain sight? In this episode of https://Drive-Radio.com, The Extra Mile, host John Rush goes deep on the real-world costs of leasing versus buying, breaking down the fine print most drivers never think about until it's too late. From mileage limits and wear-and-tear charges to residual values, early termination fees, and surprise end-of-lease bills, John explains why that low monthly payment can be misleading. What happens if you drive more miles than your lease allows? Why do some drivers end up forced to finance the same car for 7 years instead of walking away? And when—if ever—does leasing actually make sense for individuals versus business owners? The conversation also explores what really happens to off-lease vehicles, why some make it back onto dealer lots while others head straight to auction, and how market swings can dramatically change the math. This episode is a must-listen for anyone shopping for a new or used vehicle, considering a lease, or trying to avoid costly mistakes on the back end of a deal. Are you paying attention to the full cost—or just the monthly payment?

What if the midsize sedan you thought you knew… quietly became one of the smartest cars on the road? Richard and John break down a familiar name with a surprising twist: the 2026 Toyota Camry Nightshade Edition. Why did Toyota decide to go all-hybrid—and does it actually pay off in the real world? Can a Camry really deliver close to 45 MPG without feeling underpowered? What makes the Nightshade trim different, and why does it keep coming up as a top recommendation? Is all-wheel drive in a midsize sedan still a big deal—especially for Colorado drivers? And could this be the rare car that undercuts SUVs on price while still checking nearly every box? If you think you already know the Camry, this review may change your mind. Is this the sedan that quietly outclasses the competition? Hit play and find out.

https://Drive-Radio.com: The Extra Mile tackles one of the most expensive—and misunderstood—decisions most people face: buying and financing a car. Host John Rush, joined by co-host Luke, exposes dealership tactics, loan traps, and negotiation mistakes that quietly cost buyers thousands. Why is December the best time to buy a car? John explains how quotas, incentives, and hidden discounts can change the final price—if you know how to find and use them. The conversation turns serious as John breaks down negative equity, long-term loans, and why rolling debt from one vehicle into the next can spiral out of control faster than most buyers realize. How do depreciation and front-loaded interest really work? And how can simple tools like amortization schedules help you predict whether you'll be upside down years before you sign? John confronts myths head-on: Is paying cash really the smartest move, or a costly mistake? Why do dealers urgently steer conversations to monthly payments instead of the total price? And why can some “cheap” cars explode into disastrous financial traps before you even realize it? Using a real-world example—a young buyer who paid off her car early—John gives a clear, practical roadmap for protecting yourself. Covering pre-approval, trade-in timing, and essential sales tax math, this episode equips listeners to make more confident, informed car-buying decisions. Are you ready to outsmart the dealership—armed with the strategies you need to save money and avoid costly mistakes? Tune in and take control of your next car purchase.

What really works when it comes to aftermarket performance parts — and what's just noise, shine, and marketing hype? In this episode of https://Drive-Radio.com: The Extra Mile, host John Rush pulls back the curtain on the good, the bad, and the ugly of performance upgrades, joined by engineer and producer Luke Cashman. From cold air intakes to exhaust systems, programmers, gears, and suspension, John draws on three decades of hands-on experience in off-road shops and racing to ask the questions every enthusiast should: Are your mods actually adding horsepower… or quietly making your vehicle worse? Are you gaining performance — or just sound and looks? At a mile-high elevation, do the same rules even apply? John explains why altitude changes everything, how misleading dyno tests can fool buyers, and why some “cold air” intakes actually rob power instead of making it. He challenges the myth that louder means faster and reveals why a well-designed single exhaust can outperform dual setups. Thinking about a tuner? Bigger tires? A lift kit? John warns that without a clear blueprint and the right gear ratios, you may be throwing money away — and losing the power you already had. He shows how smart planning, quality parts, and drivetrain efficiency often beat flashy bolt-ons every time. And when it comes to suspension, are you buying real performance… or junk with a glossy brochure? If you've ever wondered what upgrades are truly worth it — and which ones could cost you performance, safety, and reliability — this episode is your roadmap. Are you ready to stop guessing and start building smarter?

What happens when a midsize SUV quietly blurs the line between mainstream and luxury? Is the 2026 Mazda CX-70 Turbo S Premium Plus the sleeper SUV more drivers should be paying attention to? In this review, Richard Rush breaks down Mazda's newest two-row SUV with 340 horsepower, M-Hybrid Boost, and a driving feel that surprises right from the first on-ramp. Does the mild electric assist change how it accelerates? How does it compare to the CX-90—and is losing the third row actually a win for cargo space and families? With upscale materials, heated and ventilated seats, strong fuel economy, and a price point that undercuts many luxury rivals, this CX-70 is one to check out. Is this the SUV people keep asking, “What is that?”—and why are long-time Mazda owners racking up over a half a million miles? Listen in and decide whether the CX-70 belongs on your short list.

In this https://Drive-Radio.com: Extra Mile episode, host John Rush and engineer Luke Cashman (KLZ Radio) dispel common myths and pitfalls about choosing tires, with a focus on winter driving in Colorado. They explain why understanding tire type and vehicle weight is crucial for safety on snowy roads and whether wider tires actually help or hinder performance. John explains how tire width, rubber compound, tread design, and even air pressure directly affect traction, safety, and long-term cost. He compares all-season versus true winter tires and uncovers the hidden differences in “same-brand” tires sold at big-box stores. This episode equips listeners with the knowledge salespeople often don't share. Why do winter tires wear faster—but grip better? When does it make sense to own two full sets of tires? How can downsizing a vehicle still leave you with the same winter traction problems? Using real-world examples, vivid analogies, and decades of hands-on experience, John explains why lighter vehicles often require more aggressive winter tires. He explains why narrow tires outperform wide ones in snow. He warns that skimping on tires is one of the most expensive mistakes drivers make. John also discusses how temperature changes impact tire pressure, fuel economy, and safety. Your dashboard warning light may be trying to tell you something important. Listen to this episode to gain the essential tire knowledge you need to drive smarter and safer this winter—without wasted time or confusion. Get to the core of what matters for your safety, traction, and tire budget.
