New fear unlocked! We've got one more thing to add to the ever-growing list of things to check when getting in a rental car.

Getting older.

You know, sometimes you come across something that someone says that is SO DUMB that it shakes you to your core, makes you re-evaluate all of your life decisions, and bring it all over to your goofy car show. So that's what's up this week! We love you everyone, this day, the next day, the next day that is made of three days, and every day after!

We start this week's show on a very somber note as we discuss the tragedy of Ken Block's death. It's a massive loss to the automotive enthusiast community.

In this episode we discuss Ian's Planes, Trains, and Automobiles family travel craziness and a discussion around Southwest airlines tech issues and how it dovetails into car manufacturer technology.
