Published: 28 April 2020


Welcome to TTAC’s first ever remote-recorded-podcast! The crew updates everyone with how they’re dealing with the pandemic, and Mickey reminds everyone that we’re here to talk about cars! Beka laments about emissions testing on older cars. Mickey and Ben, of course, talk about how they think newer cars are better. We answer a listener question about the I-35 speed limit in Texas. Guys, sometimes it’s good to be fast. Also, we have a segment from the Auto Advocate; Ray informs us about how dealerships make their money. And this week’s Grand Trivia Auto!
