You know, the car that-whenever you see one- you have to stop and look? Maybe old Mercedes wagons. Maybe turquoise-colored Ford Rangers. Or maybe Subaru Outbacks from the 90s. Whatever the car may be, it's the one that you've always admired.  As you can imagine, Ian and Brendan have more than a few cars that they admire. In this episode, the two hosts share stories about the cars they just can't get enough of and light up any time they see one.  Plus, tune in to find out which car brand Brendan fell in love with unexpectedly.
