Summary

The guys are on a mission to help people find something they love to drive, and while useful, minivans are no longer the answer for Andrew W. in GA. Then, Sean H. bought a Hyundai that can’t be parked in the rain – it leaks, so he’s willing to take the financial hit to move on to something else! Social media questions ask when do FWD cars trump RWD in terms of car dynamics, what’s the ideal power-weight baseline, and how do you stop yourself from becoming obsessed with HPDE lap times? Seasons 1-8 are available on Amazon Prime and Vimeo worldwide, and the guys are filming Season 9! Please rate and review us on iTunes, and the TV show on IMDB and Amazon.
