Summary

The guys attend SEMA 2023 in Las Vegas and discuss the overarching theme, and how it’s part of the future of cars. They debate for Rodrigo J. in the Netherlands, whose son’s first word was ‘auto!’ Then, David writes with a request for a car that he doesn’t hit his head on while sitting in it. Social media questions ask what’s a car from the guys’ past they would like to restore and modernize, can you obtain warranty work at a non-dealer repair shop, and what are the reasons behind the declining adoption of EVs?
