We're back, with 3% more listenability! Chris and Kevin discuss Kevin's 5000 mile road trip, hot V's comin' through, and hybrid performance (don't worry, not Prius-related). Kevin says "Post- GT-R" a lot without explaining what that means.

#8: Miller Cycle Time with the Mazda Millennial Boys 27.08.2018

Sorry the audio is bad! One of the co-hosts screwed up. (Hint: it's not the one you think ). The only good take about blacked-out BMW kidney grills. Way too much detail about Prius batteries and the Volvo S90.

#7: New for Protege5 18.08.2018
