Karl Brauer – Automotive Industry Analyst, Forbes Autos Contributor, NACTOY juror and board member and Executive Analyst for ISeeCars.com. He and Alan talk about the ever rising gas prices that are really hurting peoples pockets. They share how some people believe it’s a way the government is forcing them to buy electric vehicles. The Problem? The price of everything you need to build an electric vehicle is skyrocketing and the access to the parts like the “chips” are limited. Both Karl and Alan feel that the “horse and buggy” wasn’t broken and should of been left alone. Alan asked Karl on how he like driving the new 2022 F150 Lightning. Karl says it has lots of innovation, however the range capacity isn’t what it seems. When you add weight and tow to it and going over a mountain pass, your 300 plus range just got cut in half. BJ Killeen – Automotive Journalist and Voice of Reason makes a quick stop to share with Alan that the CEO of Ford, Jim Farley has launched a new podcast called, “DRIVE”. He will be talking about the lifestyles of cars. She also shares a tid bit about the 2024 Honda Prologue SUV, its gonna be a new era for Honda where versatility and power range will be on par with zero emissions. Closing the show today is Lauren Fix – Editor in-Chief for Car Coach Reports. She and Alan talk about the price of gasoline and how she is “on fire” about it. She believes that it’s gonna double. The little things like not idling in a drive through and adding additives to help with better engine performance with less emissions are but a few ways to help with the sting of gas prices. The pair talk a bit about “vicarious liability” when it comes to your vehicle as they reiterate an accident involving lack of experience, a jeep and a sad ending. Lastly Lauren and Alan share news that Ford, GM and Honda will be pulling out of this years SEMA 2022 show. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> [00:00:00] – Best New Cars for Graduates[00:06:20] – Cooler Than The Hummer [00:12:31] – Best New Car Deals for May[00:19:53] – May The Force Be With You!
