Everyday Driver Car Debate

Show Notes

The guys discuss modern car interiors with screens, and how the driving experience compares to cars of the past. Who does interiors right, and who does interiors badly? They debate single-car autobahn choices for Joshua in Germany, whose back is hurting from the long distances. Then, Brandon in TN has a perfectly sorted garage. So why is he looking for what’s next? Social media questions ask how to make road trips better for your girlfriend, will there be more competition in the small-truck segment, and will the guys ever be back on Motor Trend TV?

Audio-only MP3 is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and 10 other platforms.
