Yes you read this right - monetizing street takeovers; however, this episode is meant to hold US accountable for its proliferation. In this episode, I discuss how we as a car community will continue to see these takeovers happen because of its monetization. People will continue to film, promote, and encourage the accessibility of it so they can get more likes and clout in their social media. In my opinion, the only way to minimize this problem is to cut off the revenue stream for those involved in these activities and I discuss how we can do this without cutting off car enthusiasts.

While they may make sense for the non-enthusiasts, if you have any semblance of automotive passion PLEASE listen to the reasons we should avoid them.

My parents, who are septuagenarians, recently purchased their "last" vehicle. It happens to be an uninspiring Ford Edge SEL with Convenience Package. This lead me to the bigger picture: What will be the car I die with? What will be the last car purchase I make when I am getting to the age where driving around town is just plain irresponsible?
