Everyday Driver Car Debate

The guys are asked the question to which most enthusiasts try to answer when buying their next fun car: Where is the soul of a car? They debate for Marc O. In KY, who is reluctant to drive his current fun car because it’s a special edition. Then, Jared in CO is a dad with a long commute, but his kids love watching him shift gears - should he get two cars? Social media questions ask if the guys got new cameras, are they sad about Sundance Film Festival departing Park City, and are your car tastes allowed to change over the years?

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

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?

For Topic Tuesday, the guys are asked if you can turn someone into a car enthusiast? Namely, family members. But what about your friends? They help Aron Q in Toronto decide if swapping a 911 for a CTR is a good move. Then, Mike B in Washington wonders what $12k SUV is good for him? Audience questions ask the guys’ thoughts on where they would consider living, what’s their least-favorite performance add-on, and Track/Daily/Crush returns!

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.

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?
