Dave and Steve cannot leave well enough alone · Proposed air date:

A motorcycle tuning question becomes a revealing conversation about the brothers' shared instinct to investigate, adjust and understand machinery. Dr. Dave draws on mistakes with an old RX-4 and a later truck to explain why bypassing a system before understanding its purpose can create new problems, while Evil Steve admits the real motive is often simply the need to fiddle.
