Summary

The guys are asked for their predictions on 5 future classics and 5 future duds, all sold within the last 5 years. For extra credit, even categorized in 5 countries! They debate fun choices for Jose B., who gets bored quickly and has owned multiple versions of the same sports car. Then, the Mercedes-Benz MBRACE app is being discontinued - what choices do owners have when car companies abandon technology that was a selling point? Did you see this? The newly-announced humanoid robot for homes, called NEO!

Happy Tuesday. Welcome back to the podcast. We're glad to have you with us. This is Seema Week.

0:06.0

Yeah, it is. So happy Tuesday. But from now through the end of the week, you were just going to be bombarded with what the heck is that?

0:12.6

I'm already seeing concepts announced by manufacturers that they're revealing it early because they're so excited about whatever.

0:18.9

And I'm predicting a lot of more safari builds, off-road builds. I mean, I know that's the show anyway, but we're told there's a few reveals that will get people excited. I think car manufacturers are taking it more and more seriously because of the reveal for a certain market, the off-roading market. But cars are kind of becoming a thing too. And I saw that Honda was releasing some motor oil, too, like a, who knows?

0:53.5

So anything goes. That's the thing. You walk around Seema and we'll be there the Wednesday of this week. In fact, tomorrow will actually be there. And so if you're at Seema tomorrow, if you're watching this on Tuesday, you're at Seema tomorrow and you think you saw us, you did.

0:54.6

Please say hello.

0:55.4

1:10.0

And what's crazy is you and I walk the show. We go pretty quick. We see all our sponsors. It'll be very fun. Yes. We always see lots of crazy stuff. We take a ton of photos and we get home and we're still like, where was that? there's a bunch of stuff there that we're like I have no wait we walked We walked every hallway. We never saw that. And it's all madness. It's so very Vegas. So next week we'll talk about what we saw at Seema and the crazy things that went on because there's always stuff. But we're going to dive in this week with other things. You had an interesting discovery that you found that I think might be my 12th car. I was wondering, that's why I thought.

And then I started reading people's lists. I was like, well, I forgot about that one, too, didn't I? I mean, it's a ongoing thing.
