June is here, which means it's time for a summer fun, playing on the beach,

grilling with your friends and loved ones, and of course, road trips.

And what would a road trip be without a car? A walking trip.

So this week, we're bringing you a classic episode of Tangents About Cars.

What are they? Where do they come from? You're about to find out.

And if you like hearing us talk about cars, you might consider joining our Patreon.

And we're so close to hitting our goal. So please go check out patreon.com,

slash SciShowTangents, while you enjoy this episode.
