Steven says there’s no conspiracy.  Bubba won the rain delayed race.  First win. 1963 was the last time that a African American driver won the race. Steven says he doesn’t watch the news anymore, it’s too depressing.  Steven shares a bit on what’s happening in the motocross world.

Stephan starts his conversation as he shares if he could buy a car with a Hemi engine with his stimulus check. He found a vehicle that was just about the right price and bought it. He has partnered with Autotempest.com to do a giveaway inspired by his experience.  Stephan shares with Alan of what inspired to create his website.   It started by him watching videos on YouTube and not finding what he was really looking for. So, he decided to create his own videos for himself, and others like him.  Up next in the hot seat is Brian Moody – Executive Editor for Autotrader.com. They go through Autotraders 10 best used vehicles under $10K list. They start with the 2010-2013 Buick LaCrosse, which is a big, luxury sedan.
