E35: Overseas Delivery Programs
Overseas Delivery Programs, what they are, how did we end up with them briefly during the 1990s and 2000s, why we only have 1 program standing, and whether that program (Volvo) is a good idea or not. I also talk about my rental of a brand new Cadillac XT5 Premium Luxury from Hertz in Phoenix, AZ.

E34: 2023 Market Update and Drive By
Howdy! For this long belated episode, I do a drive-by of three of the most impactful events in the automotive market this year: 1) Tesla's continued price cuts, which launched an EV price battle, 2) is EV demand saturating?, and 3) how high interest rates have impacted certain corners of the car market.
I also discuss a rental car roulette that is a minivan- my favorite category of cars! I drive a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Touring-L from Budget Rent-a-Car!

Customer Reviews
Everything you wanted to know about cars
Jesse is by far the most knowledgeable person about cars that I ever know. Whether you know nothing about cars or are an expert, if you have any questions, Jesse will have the most complete and thorough answer for you that examines the question from every possible angle. And that’s just what you get in the listener questions segment!
The podcast itself is a well thought out series of episodes tackling a variety of interesting topics. They’re interesting whether you’re interested in the car business or not, but the coverage is actually very interesting from a business perspective. Add to that various segments where you get to learn about different cars and get advice about cars, and it makes for a great listen!
Great!
Best car podcast I have ever listened to! Super informative, well done and even funny!
