In the podcast context, the “Nova” name is being played with as a meaning joke—“car no go”—which is a common way people reference how the name sounds or how it’s remembered. It may come up in conversation because it represents a recognizable era of Chevrolet models and branding.","simplifiedExplanation":"The Chevrolet Nova is an older Chevrolet car model, usually known as a compact. In the podcast, the name “Nova” is being joked about as if it means “car no go.” That’s why it’s mentioned—more for the name and memory than for a specific modern feature.","imageAttribution":"Zytonits (CC BY-SA 2.0)","imageLicense":"CC BY-SA 2.0","imageSourceUrl":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1968_Chevrolet_Nova_SS_(20389767164).jpg"}},{"id":450567,"startTime":1235.5,"endTime":1269.9,"type":"car","title":"2007 FJ Cruiser","url":"/cars/toyota/fj-cruiser","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/2006_Toyota_FJ_Cruiser.jpg","quote":"Yeah, I drove actually longer than that, almost four hours to get to the 2007 FJ Cruiser back in 2013.
