  • I like the Show but let’s talk more about Corvettes

    Let’s give some fair knowledge about older Generations of Corvettes C4 to C6 that younger drives are not aware of and can get into at reasonable prices and start to introduce the CorvetteSuperCars Hobby! Hell Ya at AutoTrader from a Older Canadian Corvette Fan!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 82: Unsafe Stuff You Do in Your Car All the Time
Q: Do I really have to change my oil and filter every year, or could I get away with changing it every other year?
It's perfectly fine to go more than a year without changing the oil, as long as you monitor its condition and there are no signs of contamination or breakdown.
Episode 81: Features to Look for If You're a New Driver
Q: If you're really not worried about the resale value, would you recommend getting an EV for like three to four years on the secondhand market?
Yes, buying a three to four-year-old EV is a good idea as battery depreciation isn't as concerning and there are often warranties left on older models.
Episode 83: How to Make Public EV Charging Better
Q: Do you know if the current rate is still 25%?
Yes, as of recording, the tariff situation is still 25%, but it can change.
Episode 84: Do You Really Need That Enthusiast Trim for Your New Car?
Q: What is the easiest, most foolproof way to tell if you need new tires?
Check for wear bars inside the tread. Additionally, look for cracking or check the manufacturer's date on the tire sidewall.
Episode 86: How/Why Do We Review Cars?
Q: What makes reviewing a car challenging?
It is difficult to fully assess a car's performance based solely on a week-long test drive, as you may not encounter all of its potential issues.
