About this episode

The episode discusses the future of driving, featuring debates on car choices for different listeners and news from car manufacturers.

Will the future bring actual driving, or will every cool driving experience just be simulated? The guys cover news from car manufacturers, both concepts and new releases. The first debate is for John L. In GA, an Air Force veteran who needs to replace the car and keep the fun. Car Debate #2 represents the battle between parents and kids: Matthew and his family are in the midst of a Texas standoff. Then, Car Debate #3 is for Andy K., who drives an EV and wants a smaller, more lightweight and balanced driving experience. But he’s got two kids - what’s the right car? Audio-only MP3 is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and 10 other platforms.
