Customer Reviews
Overall great show
I really enjoy the broad range of topics discussed. Easy listening on my way to/from work. Some discussions make me wish I could call in and join the conversation.
Highly recommended.
Funny guy, hilarious podcast
I love the car talk but it’s so much more. Every episode is different. Relatable topics from a hilarious perspective and entertaining guests. A podcast anyone can get into car person or not!
Have you even driven? Ridden? Seen a car?
If you’ve ever had a car impact your life, in one way or another this podcast will probably cover something that relates to you at some point.
Give it a listen you’ll probably laugh a little bit and learn from Jhae’s genuine appreciation of vehicles.
