Summary

Can you reset your ‘precious threshold’ somehow? For Topic Tuesday, the Russell M. Asks the guys how do you prevent the high value of cars from polluting the joy of owning and driving them? Then, they debate small-car experiences (with trunk space) for Jake, who has driven nearly everything. Social media questions ask why is Alfa the only company offering moose-antler shifter paddles, is there an aspect Todd would choose that’s equivalent to Paul’s appreciation of a good door-thunk, and what do the guys keep on their keyrings?
