They talk about whether there's a logical value cap on BaT; the different ways that our promotion hits vs. the traditional methods for very expensive cars, and the massive difference in audience size; why it doesn't matter if two amazing cars close at the same time; the modern trend of \"reimagined\" classics; and how old a car needs to be for a quality Route 66 trip.The trio also express Duchov luv, have a very California discussion of cross-country routes, recount a Taken-style house move, marvel at the depreciation curves for modern high-dollar offerings, dive into BaT model pages, and make a promise they can't keep.Follow along!
