Kelly’s been relying on MotorTrend for years and loves how they’re not afraid to have a take.  Ed shares the history of the car of the year awards from MotorTrend, including the first 1949 car of the year, the Cadillac. The newest addition to the awards is the automotive industry executive of the year.  The 2024 competition was hot with 40 compact, mid-size, and full-size SUVs going head to head on Hyundai and Honda proving grounds. Vehicles were measured by six criteria: design, engineering excellence, efficiency, active and passive safety, value, performance of intended function.  The SUV of the year title ultimately went to the Chevy Blazer EV. Kelly asks Ed what he thinks about the Apple CarPlay swap Chevy made for Google integration. Ed shares his thoughts on software defined vehicles.  Ed shares his current recipe obsession so you can ditch the drive-through tonight: Chicken chili verde from Serious Eats. → To share your ditch the drive-through recipe with us, call (959) CAR-POOL and leave us a message! → Write in your advice questions!
