Summary

Analyzing your driving preferences from your car history can be challenging, but new experiences can help you discover new feelings! Rob writes with a long car history, and knows what he wants. Narrowing down his choices is where the guys help out. Then, Destin C. in Louisiana has negative equity in his Mercedes, and needs to sort out his garage. Social media questions ask why car companies release sales numbers, how to talk your friends out of mods, and how to get your transmission to warm up in the winter? Season 6 is now airing on the Motor Trend cable channel, and soon to be available on Amazon Prime and Vimeo worldwide.
