Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on Radio 105.7 - Your Car this Holiday Season

Each holiday season, we decorate the outside and inside of our homes, but outside of putting a red nose on the front of our car, what do we do for our vehicles.

This week, Rick and Sully look at some ways to decorate our cars and some gifts for those that do a lot of driving or love their car.

**  First, Rick is outside of Orlando FL, this week at Mission Inn, in Howey-in-the-Hills, FL for the 100th anniversary of the El Campeon, 18-hole golf course.
