    Episode 8 Part Duh,

    Welcome back to the Autofixation Podcast, hosted by Mark Farouk and Matt Powers. This week, join the duo as they dive into the frustrations of dealing with car service, particularly Matt's ongoing saga with his Polestar. From delayed backup cameras to a seatbelt that only latches vertically, the quirks of modern vehicles are on full display. Transitioning from service headaches, the conversation shifts to a heated debate about the new Corvette C8. Matt unleashes his strong opinions on the latest model, arguing that it strays too far from its American muscle roots. He questions the value of spending upwards of $90,000 on a Chevy and laments the Ferrari-like design that he believes tarnishes the Corvette's legacy. The episode wraps up with a look at potential future podcast adventures, including live drives and real-time car reviews. Stay tuned for more automotive insights, spirited debates, and plenty of laughs on the Autofixation Podcast.

    Episode 8- We’re Back and all about EVs

    Welcome to the latest episode of the AutoFixation podcast, where unsolicited and uneducated opinions reign supreme. After a year-long hiatus, we're back with a refreshed approach, aiming to be more informative and entertaining—though we can't promise you'll be any less disappointed. In this episode, we delve into our renewed enthusiasm for electric vehicles (EVs). One of our hosts recounts his journey from skepticism to ownership, detailing his experiences and frustrations with the leasing process, particularly with Rivian. We also discuss the practicalities of living with an EV, including range anxiety and the benefits of significantly lower fuel costs. Whether you're an EV enthusiast, a curious skeptic, or one of our two loyal listeners, this episode offers a candid look at the evolving landscape of electric vehicles and the challenges that come with it. Tune in for a mix of personal stories, industry insights, and a healthy dose of humor.
