About this episode
Dive into a lively discussion on Hagerty's 2026 Bull Market list, where the hosts compare high-end enthusiast cars like the Porsche Carrera GT and BMW E60 M5 with affordable budget alternatives such as the Toyota MR2 and Evo fours. They explore the value and appeal of various models, from classic muscle cars to Japanese imports, and share personal project car stories, including troubleshooting a Volvo airbag system and selling a Volvo 740. The episode wraps with a fun automotive ad quiz featuring a quirky 1980s four-wheel-drive wagon and reflections on the joys and challenges of car ownership and restoration.
