    A Legend is No More... Here’s everything I will miss about the Nissan Altima

    The Nissan Altima is headed for the automotive graveyard, but does that mean drivers are finally safe? In this bonus episode of the Automotive ADHD Show, Matt breaks down the Nissan Altima driver stereotype, declining sales, CVT reliability problems, and the car’s infamous reputation for highway chaos. After delivering a completely serious eulogy for the Nissan Altima, Matt asks which car could replace it as the internet’s most notorious traffic menace. His leading candidate is the used Tesla Model 3, an increasingly affordable EV with serious performance and a growing population of battered examples weaving through traffic. Could the Tesla Model 3 become the next Nissan Altima? This bonus edition covers the Nissan Altima discontinuation, bad driver stereotypes, used Tesla prices, EV maintenance, and automotive internet culture.

    Ford’s $1.3 Billion Tariff Refund: Do Car Buyers Get Paid Back?

    Could Ford owe new-car buyers money after receiving a massive tariff refund? Matt breaks down the class-action lawsuit that could determine whether drivers deserve a share of the money automakers charged customers to cover tariffs. He also recounts evacuating an entire collection of JDM cars and project vehicles as a major Colorado wildfire moved toward his home, including the insurance problems and emergency-preparation lessons he learned along the way. Plus, Toyota unveils a $3,500 office chair made from a Crown seat, Ferrari’s controversial simulated manual transmission divides enthusiasts, and the debate continues over whether driving theater can ever replace a real clutch and gearbox.

    Ferrari says the 12Cilindri Manuale brings back the manual experience, but is a Manuale By-Wire gated shifter connected to an 8-speed DCT really a manual transmission or just a very expensive fake? Matt also talks Pikes Peak Hill Climb race cars with Stryker Motorsports, including a Can-Am Maverick R-based hill climb build, plus what happens when a Colorado wildfire gets close enough that you have to plan how to evacuate eight project cars?

    Automated enforcement on the roads actually makes you LESS safe behind the wheel.
