Guys love the podcast and youtube videos (also an avid skier). I have been listening at work for about 9 months being a former car lover reduced to suv life in nyc, that said the lead in's with your satirical/ cynical/ dry humor are some of your best episodes but (there's always a but) some of the latest episodes cater too much to the technically challenged and marketing.
I recently found your podcast and just wanted to let you know I really enjoy your opinions on cars and the lively conversations. I'm also looking forward to the new season on Velocity in July, by the way I've always been an American car guy so thank you for educating me on the other options out there. Mark Way
the genesis coupe interior imo is cheaper and scratches easily. *compared to the frs*
I love the talk shows interview shows self made man and h3h3. Although they arent really everyday driver oriented. But maybe selfmade man could evaluate your excellent co-host synergy and your entrepreneurial talent to make a show with the simple buisiness plot of personal opinions and fun banter.
I recently found your tv show and heard you mention your podcast and just wanted to let you know I really enjoy both. Keep up the good work. Thanks Mark
awesome stuff. i love this show. They know what they are talking about. best show.
One of my favorites shows. Great advice and very entertaining.
Good stuff. I love the show. Keep it up guys!
