Why Cars? episodes

  • Are Car Guys Too Picky About the Cars They'll Buy?

    Car guys like what they like, but should they be more open to other car buying options?

    Such a tricky question, and one that we'll explore in this episode. We also look at how electric cars are (still, and more apparently than ever) not the solution people think they are.

  • Why Do Jeeps Carry Around Rubber Ducks?

    I've seen dozens of Jeeps, curiously decorated with rubber ducks - now I know why.

    Also, there is a new BMW M5 Touring slated for American release. It got me thinking: what is the greatest wagon that's currently for sale? There aren't many, but what we do get to choose from is LOVELY.

    Like, listen, and share. And as always, ignore the check engine light.

  • The Greatest Cars That We Spotted in the School Pickup Line

    You'll never believe the cars that were spotted in the kindergarten pickup line today.

    Multi-six figure cars, just dropping 5 year olds off at school. No big deal.

    Plus, we continue our live car spotting commentary, and come across some BANGERS.

  • In Praise of the Ford Maverick Lobo

    Ford has officially made an entrance into the conversation for the greatest factory wheels of all time...

    and they're fitted to a compact truck. We'll discuss what makes them so cool and where they came from.


    Also! We play a word association game, talk about being attacked by a bee in the Fiat Abarth (and a cricket in a Camry), and uncover the most amazing school shuttle of all time - a Lamborghini LM002 with a wagon conversion kit.


    Let's have some old fashioned fun talking about cars and discussing the cars that drive past the studio in real time.

  • Freedom... From Bad Car Modifications

    We present our list of the 5 car modifications that need to be abandoned. Fast.

    It's also road trip season, and Hunter and I have been on a couple of good ones. Shoutout to the Chevy Suburban, by the way, which is the greatest road trip vehicle ever constructed by human hands.


    We also celebrate Independence Day, lament the disgusting state of current BMW's, and discuss the merits of the first generation Honda Fit. We cover a lot.

  • Translations: What Used Car Ads Really Mean

    Purchasing a used car through a third-party can be intimidating; I'll help you find red flags to avoid when searching through your local classifieds. Consumer top tips, if you will.


    Also, please start buying colorful cars again. White, silver, and black are too boring.

  • Long Live the Ferrari V12 and Everyone Who Built It

    Is the Ferrari 6.5-liter V12 the greatest engine of all time?

    Also - what's the craziest automotive / designer collaboration you can remember? Today's top-5 list covers all of our favorites (and we provide a few more no brainers that need to be done).

  • Some Cars Have Aged Like Warm Milk

    Let's chat about the cars that, although they were cool when they were new, haven't stood the test of time.

    Not cars that were bad when they first came out (leave the poor Pontiac Aztec alone), but cars that looked great when they were introduced. Let's face it - the PT Cruiser was cool for a minute...
