Summary

In the midst of their ‘Best Of’ series, the guys take time to offer planning and business consulting advice to Nissan about the direction of their products! Doug near NYC has figured out a garage plan for his next offbeat car, but maybe not. Social media questions ask about buying an ND MX-5 without the upgraded engine power, buying a used FR-S and tuning it, and is the electrification of cars ruining the tradition of fathers working on cars with their kids? Season 6 is now airing on the Motor Trend cable channel, and soon to be available on Amazon Prime and Vimeo worldwide.
