High Speed Stuff Wrap-up: Five Reasons to Not Buy a Hybrid and the World’s Most Expensive Car Wash

by |

 

Listen to High Speed Stuff on iTunes

Well, well, well. I suppose you’re here for a little High Speed Stuff wrap-up? That’s good, because I’m ready to spill the beans about what Ben and I talked about on our podcast this week. So, if you’re interested, let’s take a few minutes to review what we’ve been up to over the past several days.

On Tuesday, we had a discussion about hybrid cars. Now, I know what you’re probably thinking:  “Oh brother. That’s all anyone is talking about these days.” Ah, but that’s where you’d be mistaken. Ben and I took this particular conversation in a completely different direction. We talked about five reasons to NOT buy a hybrid. Yeah, that’s right. If you’re a list maker (like me), then we’re giving you five possible entries for the “cons” column on your “pros and cons of buying a hybrid car” list. If you recall, late last week we gave you five reasons to buy a hybrid, so this week we thought it was only fair to make the argument for the other side, too.

When Thursday arrived, Ben and I cleaned up our act and tackled the topic of car washes. Yes, I know. Go ahead and say it: “As a podcast topic, car washes can’t possibly be interesting enough to hold my attention for much longer than the time it takes to drive through one.” Of course, I’m guessing that you’ll probably add a little colorful language to that statement, too, but honestly, give this episode a chance. Heck, where else are you going to hear about the most expensive car wash money can buy? And no, it’s not the $8 “Supreme” car wash that they offer at your local auto bath. Not even close.

So, that’s what’s happening on the High Speed Stuff podcast this week. Head on over to iTunes and give it a listen — it’s completely free. Just don’t forget while you’re there 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 comments 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.
