What if you were handed the keys to demystify the world of car batteries? Well, that's exactly what we're doing in this episode! As your hosts, we dish out on our favorite Mexican food joints, anticipate our upcoming car show guest list, and even dive into Don's own Corvette’s brush with AGM batteries and a faulty electric seat. We also give a heartfelt nod to the exceptional work of God’s Garage, a community-focused organization deserving of your support.

In our discussion, we pit heavyweights like XS Power, Odyssey, Diehard, and Optima against each other, laying bare their strengths, weaknesses, and what makes them tick. We dig into the nitty-gritty of lead and AGM batteries, exploring their life cycles, shelf lives, warranties, and even unique design choices. But that’s not all - as the icing on the cake, we share nuggets on how to prolong your battery life and where to hunt for the best deals.

But don't be fooled - it's not all about the present. We take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, revisiting the evolution of automobiles, from George B Selden's 1895 patent to Ford's introduction of the Mercury brand in 1938. We pay homage to Steve McQueen’s legacy, celebrate the launch of Infiniti by Nissan in 1989, and reveal shocking survey results about Ford's shaky standing with dealers. We also put some famous full-size pickups under the microscope, scrutinizing their crash test ratings. 

So sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride!
