### Faulty Cruise Control Incident, Media Corruption Analysis

- **Episode:** [760: VAWG](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/760-vawg.md)
- **Published:** 2015-09-27
- **Time:** 2:55:00–2:59:07
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/760-vawg/chapter/faulty-cruise-control-incident-media-corruption-analysis.md

An ABC News report on a driver trapped in a car with a locked cruise control is analyzed for what it omitted: the make and model of the vehicle. The hosts argue that the network likely suppressed the car's identity to avoid upsetting potential automotive advertisers. This "corruption" is cited as a primary reason for the show's reliance on listener support rather than corporate sponsorship.

### British Car History, Rolls Royce Bellows

- **Episode:** [587: People the Board](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/587-people-the-board.md)
- **Published:** 2014-02-01

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/587-people-the-board/chapter/british-car-history-rolls-royce-bellows.md

John C. Dvorak shares an anecdote about the unreliable cruise control in his 1988 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II. He explains that British engineers used a rubber bellows system for the mechanism, which would eventually become porous and fail. This leads to a broader discussion on the eccentricities of British motorcycle and automotive engineering.

### Nebraska Cruise Missile Explosion and Northwest Flight 188 Tapes

- **Episode:** [157: The Democratic Industrial Complex](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/157-the-democratic-industrial-complex.md)
- **Published:** 2009-12-16
- **Time:** 1:30:59–1:33:31
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/157-the-democratic-industrial-complex/chapter/nebraska-cruise-missile-explosion-and-northwest-flight-188-tapes.md

A massive explosion over Nebraska, registered as a 3.5 magnitude seismic event, is speculated to be a cruise missile intercepted by advanced weaponry. Additionally, newly released air traffic control tapes from Northwest Airlines Flight 188 suggest the pilots were not merely asleep but were "freaked out" by an unexplained event. The hosts suggest these incidents are part of an unacknowledged "space war" involving the military and unknown entities.

The hosts discuss the practical drawbacks of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, including the high-pitched "screeching" noise they emit and the danger of 10,000 PSI pressurized tanks. Curry shares his personal experience using a "hydroxy booster" in his car, debating whether his improved fuel mileage is due to the device or changes in his driving habits and engine management.
