Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor - May 23, 2026 - Hour 2 - Marriage Counseling & Auto Repair

This Memorial Day weekend on Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor, Ron mixes humor, heart, and history in a powerful hour about the way cars become part of our everyday lives. It starts with a noisy Honda CR-V carrying landscaping rocks under a loose splash shield - and turns into a story about marriage, memories, and why vehicles become so personal to all of us.

Ron talks about the strange relationship people have with their cars, the conversations that happen at the repair counter, and why sometimes mechanics become part technician, part therapist, and part referee.

Plus:

• Advice for a listener shopping for a used Toyota RAV4 for his teenage daughter
• A heartfelt Memorial Day reflection on veterans, sacrifice, and the meaning behind the holiday
• And a special archive conversation with Ron's Uncle Steve Ananian, a North American P-51 Mustang pilot from World War II, recounting surviving combat, being shot down over the English Channel, and the incredible story of bringing a damaged fighter plane home.

It's an unforgettable hour about cars, family, freedom, and the people who keep all of us moving forward.
