You gotta listen to get all the deets. Then, Kelly and Lizz have a lot to talk about on the Driveway Dumps. Kelly is getting rid of more items on Facebook Marketplace and is enjoying just putting them out for free. Lizz is getting in fights with random people in the comment section. Both are falling for the targeted ads on Instagram, leading to the purchase of a LARGE paint by number set. \n\n\n\nThis week, Kelly and Lizz have a listener submitted Base Model Luxury and we're wondering why we never thought of this. Get ready for the Chuck-it Bucket! It doesn't sound glamorous, but we promise this could change your dinnertime routine! \n\n\n\nYou are going to remember where you were when you heard today's Industry News. Stellantis is ending production on some of our favorite vehicles and we are not okay. Why aren't they coming to the Car Mom before they make any of these decisions?!? \n\n\n\nFinally, this week's Ditch the Drive-Thru is VERY needed by one of the mom's today who has been doing a TON of DoorDash lately!  If you love the \"Everything But the Elote\" seasoning from Trader Joe's, this elevated mac and cheese is going to make it to your recipe list asap. "},"annotations":[{"startTime":466.96,"endTime":468.96,"type":"car","title":"Nissan Pathfinder","url":"/cars/nissan/pathfinder","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/2018_Nissan_Pathfinder_%28R52_MY18%29_ST-L_wagon_%282018-09-28%29_01.jpg","quote":"as soon as possible.
