{{Reflist}} Sunday mornings from 9 to Noon feature a locally produced automotive talk show titled "MotorHeads". The show is of interest to "do it yourself backyard mechanics", race fans, and fans of classic cars. Personalities include host Micheal Rhodes and James Lee, owner of a local repair shop. They are often joined by Peter Kendig who also owns a local shop specializing in restoration work on classic cars. Listeners are invited to call in with automotive questions, sometimes answered in a humorous style. Local classic auto shows are featured as well as South Texas area auto and motorcycle races. |
