Everyday Driver Car Debate

Show Notes

The guys are asked what great cars ended production before they got good, and what cars were on sale and stuck around way too long? They take on debates for Monica + Nugget in TX, who want an executive sedan for relaxed trips. Then, Alice and Bill ask if they’re too old for a fun car? Social media questions ask what cars were one change away from greatness, does a manual transmission add to or detract from the driving experience, and what car sold in North America would be considered “forbidden fruit” in Europe?

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