The two hosts describe the new car buying process as they have experienced it as well as what to be aware of if you're in the market for a new car.  Ian takes the listener on the journey that led to buying a new 2019 VW Golf Alltrack. Still his daily driver with almost 80k miles on it six years later, Ian shares what influenced this choice of car and how it went for his first new car purchase. Brendan takes a turn on the mic to talk about his most recent new car purchase, that being his 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500. Brendan takes the new car buying process a step further, walking the listener through the steps he took to order the exact truck he wanted.  Plus, Brendan keeps singing and Ian nerds out about Volkswagen paint colors.
