Nick is now in the market for a new Xbox, while Dan is fully locked in—couch-bound and completely obsessed. And honestly? It’s justified. The latest Forza is absolutely stunning and might just be one of the best arcade racing experiences we’ve ever seen.\nOn the automotive side, Ford unveils the new Filson Edition Bronco—a collaboration that feels like a perfect match of rugged capability and outdoor style. It may not be the classic Eddie Bauer partnership, but it definitely brings its own kind of legacy energy.\nMeanwhile, things are getting interesting in the world of oil. With several retailers warning about a potential shortage, DIY enthusiasts might want to stock up sooner rather than later—Costco runs might be in your near future.\n\n \nThe Avants Podcast is brought to you by our friends at STEK USA and Carter Seattle!\nNot an Avants member? https://www.avants.com/member-plans\nLeave us a review on Apple Podcasts! \nLeave us a voicemail or send us a text any time at 425-298-7873!\nWe're doing give aways!
