This week on the Joyride Podcast Rob takes a Joyride in a friend’s new 2013 Mustang GT.  The American muscle car put a huge smile on his face and for good reason.  What’s not to love about a 5 liter V 8 attached to a manual transmission?  It was a convertible so our ears were treated to the extra sweet sound of American muscle.  BMW is trying to figure out how to bring some audio to their EV cars.  Zeh German car company enlisted the help of German musical powerhouse Hans Zimmer to figure out what a car that makes no noise should sound like.  Can two German giants solve this equation?  We have our doubts but hope for the best.  Last, we talk about Pete’s ongoing first world problem of having too many cars to juggle in his external garage.  It’s more of a barn and less of a garage but when you are a car enthusiast any outside structure on your property becomes a home for cars.  Should he swap all three of his current cars to one car that fits all his needs in one ride?
