Is This a Car Podcast?

In today's episode, we discuss Nick's never-ending search for the perfect car. He loves his Cayman but thinks he could swing an R8 in about a year. What do you guys think about the chasm in price between a gated manual and the auto? Is it worth the price? We also chat about the new Integra Type S, the ID.7, General Motors' unquenchable thirst for bankruptcy, and a class action suit levied against Honda for electric power steering issues in the 2022-2023 Civic. If you have questions you want answered or topics you'd like us to discuss, please reach out on Instagram @ave_automotive or email us at a.valianteffert@gmail.com.

1946 Willys Jeep Confuses Indiana BMV & Listener Questions

On today's episode, we discuss the weirdness of the VIN on Josh's 1946 Willys Jeep and just how confused it made the Indiana BMV. We also get into some listener questions, including our choice for a vehicle that gets over 40 mpg and a great discussion on car stereotypes that may or may not influence our willingness to purchase a vehicle.

New Cars in EU Will Be Zero Emission By 2035

Ted and Josh discuss the EU's vote to require all new cars sold to be zero emission by 2035. The main concern with an EV future is whether or not it's possible and how such a future would affect the lower and middle classes currently priced out of EV ownership and maintenance. Despite our concerns, there are 12 years on the clock, and when it comes to technology....12 years is a longgg time. We also discuss gen Z and their preference for sedans. Yay, gen Z! If you have any questions for us to answer, topics you'd like to discuss, or cars you'd be willing to let us review, please reach out at a.valianteffert@gmail.com or message us on Instagram at ave_automotive. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The State of The Manual Transmission in 2023

Unlike most episodes, we focus mainly on a single topic this week: the manual transmission. First, Josh updates us on his journey into the sky, and then we dive deep into the state of the modern manual. We get into the decline of the most engaging transmission, the manufacturers' role in that decline, the state of the manual today, what cars should still have a manual, and what future we think is in store for those of us who like to row our own gears. Enjoy the discussion and please reach out if you'd like us to chat about any specific topics.
