You've found the podcast where driving matters, whether you haul, commute or cruise, we want you to love what you drive.

We're here to help you find usability and fun.

From first time buyers to jaded experts, we believe everyone is one great car away from being car obsessed.

I'm Paul. I'm Todd and this is the everyday driver car debate.

Have yourself a happy little Tuesday. It's Christmas week and I am completely besieged by Christmas music and Christmas things and everything's got glitter on it.

Things are glowing. There's a tree in the corner. I am Bahamug. My wife knows me so well that she got me, I'm serious.

She got me, welcome back to the podcast. She got me a black Santa hat to wear Christmas morning because everybody wears Santa hats.

So she's like, I'll get you a black one. She got me a black one. And also here's the other thing our family's doing.

For Christmas this year, we are all wearing die hard themed Christmas shirts. Nice.

I'll document it on the Tik Tok Kia challenge with car thieves that were underage. Children were swiping cars.

So you're saying we have to be on Tik Tok? Please tell me no. I hope not. Not where we belong.

We are doing YouTube shorts now, but that's as close as we get. Well, the point is people's lives have been upended if not destroyed from these car thefts.
