Welcome to 2025, or is it 1984?
About this episode
The Car Torque crew rings in 2025 with a lively discussion about their holiday car projects, including updates on personal vehicles and amusing anecdotes. Chad shares a detailed story about tracking down the driver who hit his Civic, while the group debates new automotive regulations proposed in Melbourne that would require permits for working on cars at home. They also discuss upcoming car releases for 2025, including the new Nissan GTR and various electric vehicles, before wrapping up with a fun car quiz that tests their automotive knowledge.
On this episode of Car Torque, Matty, David, Chad, Scotty and Patrick welcome in the new year and give some car updates. They mention what new models they are looking forward to in 2025 and try to figure out why we are needing ot be charged to work on our own cars in the city of Casey.
