  • Great minus the snark

    Substantive content is great but the snark is…a lot. Especially from the host. Wish they would tone that down since it detracts from the show.

  • Finally some good content that cuts out the ads

    I’m loving the podcast. Had no idea that there is so little regulation with all the cool system in cars today. I thought that there had to be some level of testing. But no it seems every car company can put whatever “advanced” system it wants in place and not test it.

    Fun. Smart and funny.
