We touch on the rising prices of new cars, advocating for keeping older cars on the road. Additionally, the discussion includes Volkswagen's shift away from EVs, Porsche's exit from racing programs, and a test drive review of the Cayman GT4. There's also news from Stellantis, a humorous segment on odd car commercials, and updates from the world of motorsports with a particular focus on Formula One and Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta.
