Good episode. Just wanted to comment on people's opinions on the Supra. I kinda agree with what a lot of folks are saying, and I think some of their concerns are valid. The Supra is a bit of a double edged sword, on the one hand, yay! new Supra, finally! on the other hand, there be lots of expectations, and the concern that it's a BMW under the body panels is legit. I agree with what you guys are saying in the purest sense of "it doesn't matter who makes the car if it drives well". but my concern is how much it's going to cost to fix when something breaks? I like the idea of being able to own a BMW for less money (fingers crossed) than an actual BMW of the same caliber, but will I be paying BMW prices for regular maintenance and repairs? Jodi also brought up a good point earlier in the episode that makes me wonder how much the insurance is going to be.
Seems that no one are asking you questions. :( Since I listen to your every episode and you answered my previous question, I'll throw in another question, and something that might be up for debate between you guys. :) If you have a son/daughter who recently got his/her driver's license, which car are you going to let him/her drive? A. Your current car since it's older, and just buy a new car. B. Buy him/her a new car. If your answer is, "A," which second-hand car under $15,000 would you recommend for someone learning to drive? :) More power, guys! I'm subscribed to your podcast.
