Each year, Consumer Reports publishes their findings on best new and used cars, SUVs and trucks. The guys take the new data and see if CR’s results matches their experiences, and they’re surprised by some discoveries. For Tony S., they debate vehicles that could potentially have a hitch rack semi-permanently installed - but he wants something sporty too. Then, Doug in MI is having an existential car crisis because he needs one do-it-all car for nearly every category of driving. Car conclusions cover an ultimate sleeper for Brian in NY, and a discovery for Paul C., who got a dynamic company commuter car that’s also good for track use!

Savage Geese, The Truck-Jeep Love Child, What Your Mechanic Buys | Episode 1,021

The guys stick their beaks into the business of Mark & Jack without trying to ruffle any feathers. The Savage Geese guys haven’t yet flown south for the winter, so they join the podcast to discuss their honkin-big triple-car comparison called ‘Crowning The King’ - the Mustang GTD, Corvette ZR-1, and Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The first debate is for Kyle M. in Detroit, who roasts the guys a bit and then asks what Michigan-proof truck can replace his Gladiator? Car debate #2 is for Gage D, who is also in MI. His current car needs a transmission replacement - should he fix it himself, or get something new for $10-15K? Audio-only MP3 is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and 10 other platforms.

The Ideal SEMA Build, An Impossible Debate, Confidently Buying Sight Unseen | Episode 1,020

The guys attend SEMA 2025 in Las Vegas, and challenge themselves to imagine what their own ‘build’ would be like. They take on an “impossible debate” from Jeremy H., who grew up on muscle-car culture but loves modern, sharp-handling sports cars. Then, Patrick W. owns a Golf R, but wishes for something more engaging and pretty to look at. Social media questions ask what sort of design lines suggest a car will age poorly; and is it better to be coached on high-performance driving in a non-sports car on a racetrack, or experiment with a sporty car on a canyon road?
