Everyday Driver Car Debate

The guys continue their ‘Peak’ series, discussing what eras, decades or particular cars represented the peak for each manufacturer. This episode covers Ferrari through Hyundai. They provide choices to help Brandon in the midwest, who needs to get rid of project cars and consolidate his fleet. Then, Michael in MI is longing for fun again, so what should he buy that can still accommodate his growing family? Audience questions ask what company makes the best & worst car horns, what items do the guys carry in their personal cars, and will there be more T-shirts coming?
