Listen to High Speed Stuff on iTunes
Looking for a little insider information regarding the topics Ben and I have been discussing on the High Speed Stuff podcast over the past week? Good news! I’ve got it for you. Here’s what we’ve been up to…
We started out the week talking about a topic that’s plagued new car shoppers since the beginning of time. Well, maybe not quite that long. But, nevertheless, it’s a perplexing question: Should I buy or lease a car? Is there really a one-size-fits-all answer? Surely you know by now that I’m not going to give it away right here in the blog, right? However, if you take a few minutes to listen to this episode, you’ll find that Ben and I try our best to run through some of the facts and figures in order to determine which one of these options provides you with the most attractive deal.
We closed out the week by answering another question: Why do we rely so heavily on cars? It’s a good question, really. Why are most of us so dependent on personal transportation vs. public transportation options? Actually, maybe the best way to ask that question would be this way: Why did cars become the dominant form of transportation in the United States? Yeah, that seems to get right to the heart of the issue. But is there one single person, incident or group that’s responsible? Maybe. But you’ll never know if you don’t listen, will you? Anyway, we hope you’ll give this episode a few minutes of your time, too.
And just as I say every Friday, that’s what’s happening on the High Speed Stuff podcast. So why don’t you head on over to iTunes and give it a listen — as always, it’s completely free. While you’re there, just don’t forget to take the opportunity to browse through some of our older episodes and give us a little feedback. You can also let us know what you think in the comment section below, or if you’d rather send us an e-mail, you can do that, too. Ben always reads the address at the end of each podcast.
