Everyday Driver Car Debate

The guys wrestle with a Topic Tuesday from Adam W., who is angry at his AWD system. Is AWD a safety feature, or is it made irrelevant with modern tires that are correctly suited for the job? Then, the guys debate two coincidental stories that are so similar they could almost be written by the same person. For Car Conclusions, Jay with the hammer is back with a report, and André in LA loves MINIs so much it’s a good thing they got bigger.

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

The guys take on a thought exercise for Topic Tuesday, and imagine the Perfect Car Day. Where is it? What cars? What’s the occasion? They debate sensible choices for Ben G., whose wife has an irrational love for Challengers with a V-8! Then, Keith V. has a growing family and wants a fun car that will also accommodate a toddler. Social media questions ask about upcoming 2026 Utah Adventures, and what decal package would the guys put on their cars?

Happy New Year! The guys dive into the first 2026 podcast with news of the RAM TRX making its return. For Topic Tuesday, they’re asked what cars they’d like to experience for one night, one day and one week, but would never be allowed to own or drive again! They debate non-GM enthusiast car choices for Zindrick in Iowa, who drives 1000 miles a week! Then, Jeff F is currently waiting to get less-upside-down with his current daily, but he’s got the itch for something new. Social media questions ask how you keep your car clean if you don’t like car covers, how far in advance do OEMs send press launch invites, and how are incidents handled on EDD road rallies?
