Episode 106-A man. A van. Also another man. Hello David and Ian, long-time victim, first-time complainer here. I just wanted to say that while I appreciate the breakthroughs you made on episode 106, Ian’s grumpiness, the shin-destroying capabilities of Ikea furniture and our ability to automate human beings have nothing to do with cars. Please knock it off. Also, once… Read more →
2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid: The Ice Cream Test
Somehow, we at TeamClearCoat were recently invited to a press drive event in Estes Park, Colorado. We drove a lot of cars, but one of the highlights for us was the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid.

Episode 105-There’s no way that’s attached… Cars inspire judgements. Sometimes they’re quick, and you pay a compliment that isn’t well received.

Episode 104-Coast to a stop. As car enthusiasts, we have a certain number of shared experiences. We’ve all ended up spending more money in the name of saving money.

102-We Discuss Our Nutritional Value, Plan Cross-Continent Drives, And Wash The Reince Off Our Preibus
Episode 102-This one gets weird… Well, we tried. We really did. We were totally just going to talk about cars this time. And we did okay – garage updates, autonomous car legislation, and our fantasy transcontinental drives are all decidedly “car topics.” But we just couldn’t stay away from the magnetic draw of The Mooch and his gloriously inauspicious career… Read more →
101-Katie and Lauren Go Karting, Ian Defends The Miata, And Dave Gets Mountain Misty
