With the expert guidance of our esteemed guest, Jonathan Couch, we explore possible wheel options and crucial offset measurements for a seamless fit. You'll get a valuable lesson on how to find cost-effective solutions. We don't stop there! We transition to the exciting world of mini stock race car construction in a school environment. You'll feel like you're right there in the workshop with us and Wyatt, a senior in the AutoTech program, as we overview the process from instructor-led demonstrations to the weight rules of the class. Experience firsthand Wyatt's journey of working on a Beretta and Jonathan's teaching style that makes car building a breeze. We also introduce you to Guillermo, the driver who's just as new to racing as some of you might be to car maintenance.As we hit the homestretch, we take a detour through the scenic landscape of classic and modern car culture. We shed light on different classes offered in high schools and the upcoming Tailpipes and Tacos car show. As we navigate through the latest in automotive news, we discuss the slowing growth of EV sales, Ford's decision to cut back on EV spending, and the grievances of Mercedes-Benz dealers. We conclude with a thought-provoking discussion on why people hesitate to switch to EVs due to the charging process.
