Let's jump into the ultimate car buying debate: Should you buy a high-mileage car with a solid service history or a low-mileage car with zero service records? We weigh the pros and cons and share our own experiences.
We also take a fun detour to brainstorm new names for the Utah Hockey Club and talk about the joys (or nightmares) of driving in the rain. Finally, we discuss the release of the new Ferrari F80 and why, honestly, we couldn’t care less. Get ready for a mix of humor, car insights, and plenty of hot takes.

I mean, God PROBABLY drives an old ML. But we know he doesn't drive a Nissan Rogue.
Come along as we dive into why modern cars are loaded with too much unnecessary technology, and why we long for the simpler days of old-school car design. From our love of analog driving experiences to poking fun at the soul-crushing Nissan Rogue, this episode is a mix of nostalgia, car culture, and some good laughs. If you miss the days when cars were built with heart and not just software, this one's for you. Listen in for our hot takes on why less tech could mean more fun behind the wheel.

Today, we tried something... different.
We thought it would be a brilliant idea to record from the front seat of my amazing 2003 Mercedes ML500 while simultaneously doing some car spotting.
Spoiler: it was an absolute ADHD nightmare.
Between the shiny Porsches and questionable Chryslers, we barely held a single thought together. If you’ve ever tried to talk about anything serious while car spotting, you’ll relate to this one. Join us as we get hilariously distracted, lose our train of thought (a lot), and somehow still have a blast doing it!

We had some DEEP reflection on what it means to love cars, and if we truly love them or their status.
There are plenty of people who purchase cars because they're loud, flashy, and get noticed. Does this mean that they aren't TRUE automotive enthusiasts?
Also, some consumer advice: proofread your used car ad before you post it (and make sure you price it right)!
-
Car guys like what they like, but should they be more open to other car buying options?
Such a tricky question, and one that we'll explore in this episode. We also look at how electric cars are (still, and more apparently than ever) not the solution people think they are.

I've seen dozens of Jeeps, curiously decorated with rubber ducks - now I know why.
Also, there is a new BMW M5 Touring slated for American release. It got me thinking: what is the greatest wagon that's currently for sale? There aren't many, but what we do get to choose from is LOVELY.
Like, listen, and share. And as always, ignore the check engine light.

You'll never believe the cars that were spotted in the kindergarten pickup line today.
Multi-six figure cars, just dropping 5 year olds off at school. No big deal.
Plus, we continue our live car spotting commentary, and come across some BANGERS.
As always, listen, subscribe, and like. Please.

Ford has officially made an entrance into the conversation for the greatest factory wheels of all time...
and they're fitted to a compact truck. We'll discuss what makes them so cool and where they came from.
Also! We play a word association game, talk about being attacked by a bee in the Fiat Abarth (and a cricket in a Camry), and uncover the most amazing school shuttle of all time - a Lamborghini LM002 with a wagon conversion kit.
Let's have some old fashioned fun talking about cars and discussing the cars that drive past the studio in real time.

To our car guys (and girls): what's your deepest, darkest automotive guilty pleasure?
I promise you we're not here to judge. Maybe a little bit. But this is a safe space. We also do some LIVE car spotting from our studio, and provide some very helpful consumer advice.

We present our list of the 5 car modifications that need to be abandoned. Fast.
It's also road trip season, and Hunter and I have been on a couple of good ones. Shoutout to the Chevy Suburban, by the way, which is the greatest road trip vehicle ever constructed by human hands.
We also celebrate Independence Day, lament the disgusting state of current BMW's, and discuss the merits of the first generation Honda Fit. We cover a lot.

Purchasing a used car through a third-party can be intimidating; I'll help you find red flags to avoid when searching through your local classifieds. Consumer top tips, if you will.
Also, please start buying colorful cars again. White, silver, and black are too boring.

Is the Ferrari 6.5-liter V12 the greatest engine of all time?
It's certainly in the conversation. We're absolutely over-the-moon excited for the new Ferrari 12Cilindri and talk about why.
Also - what's the craziest automotive / designer collaboration you can remember? Today's top-5 list covers all of our favorites (and we provide a few more no brainers that need to be done).
-
Let's chat about the cars that, although they were cool when they were new, haven't stood the test of time.
Not cars that were bad when they first came out (leave the poor Pontiac Aztec alone), but cars that looked great when they were introduced. Let's face it - the PT Cruiser was cool for a minute...
-
Have you ever looked at a car and wondered why it had such a terrible name?
Who at McLaren decided it would be a good idea to name a car the MP4-12C? Hunter has listed out his top 5 worst car names, and there are some bangers.
-
Does it make sense to purchase the cheapest new car available in the United States?
I present my reasons that spending $20,000 on a new economy car is a terrible, no good, very bad idea, and present five worthy alternatives (and some notable mentions).
Let's also discuss how the Pininfarina-designed Coke Freestyle machine needs to be retired.
-
What amazing cars have you driven that fly under the radar of the common car guy?
We have thoughts (of course). Hunter provides us with his 5 favorite cars to drive that deserve more attention.
We also discuss purchasing cars with rebuilt titles, being addicted to browsing automotive classified ads, and Nick tells elephant story that must be heard to be believed.
-
What car from an everyday(ish) brand is the most off-the-wall?
We have some thoughts, and I provide my top-5 strangest cars from normal brands.
Also, stick around until the end of the pod for one of the wildest stories we've ever heard...
-
Toyota has completed an amazing study on true E.V. carbon footprints, and the results are shocking (electricity pun).
Their 1:6:90 rule might just redefine how we look at the true impact of the automotive industry's lurch towards full electrification. At least, we hope it does.
-
Turns out, the ugliest car ever made just might not be the ugliest car ever made.
Was the Pontiac Aztec ugly? Undeniably so. But given today's current design trends, it's not as ugly as it used to be. In fact, we think it would sell quite well in today's market.
Let's chat about what other long-lost cars would be a hit today. -
What's the biggest automotive repair bill you've ever had to take on?
Hunter's 2006 BMW M5 recently went under the knife to diagnose a faulty transmission, and may have had a major automotive win.
We also talk about getting tuberculosis (well, probably tuberculosis, but definitely not just a cold), our favorite automotive background extras, and a friend's hilariously terrible Cyber Truck ownership experience.
