About this episode

The episode discusses the best eras of brands from Maserati to Polestar, debates car reliability, and explores the concept of cars having soul versus being mere crossovers.

The guys forge ahead with their ‘Peak’ car series, and discuss the best eras of brands Maserati through Polestar. They debate cars that are reliable and easy to live with for Steven in New England, who is a VW Beetle enthusiast. Then, Joseph is trying to convince his wife that cars have soul, and don’t just have to be a “crossover safety pod.” Audio-only MP3 is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and 10 other platforms.
