Summary

Topic Tuesday catches up with car conclusions, and the latest round of purchases by listeners! The debate is for Jared in Alabama, who unexpectedly won a car auction and is considering going in a different direction. Social media questions ask about nuanced ways to describe car dynamics, what should be the focus of garage improvements, and is it okay for a newer generation to be slower and less powerful than the last?
