Summary

What kinds of inexpensive do-it-all, and still fun to drive cars work best for college students? The debate explores options for Thomas, who is a climber in Indiana, and Austin, a National Guardsman in Pennsylvania. Minivans are definitely useful for many reasons, but not often recommended by the guys, so they explain. Finally, listeners ask what cars in Europe should be made available in the U.S., driving tips for new parents, and thoughts on dealership advertising on cars… Please rate and review the podcast on iTunes, the show on IMDB and Amazon Prime, and write to us at everydaydrivertv@gmail.com or everydaydriver.com.
