    Upgrading the brakes in a car won't make its breaking distance any shorter, most brakes are strong enough to lock the wheels up at speed, that's why cars have ABS. The weak link in the chain is the tire. Wider tires will transmit more energy. Bigger brakes only means they will maintain the available braking power for longer before fading.

      Larger diameter rotors exert more leverage to the hub. Simple physics. Is it an appreciable difference? Maybe not, but it most definitely applies a greater force

    Hey guys - over the last few months, the video has been getting choppier and choppier and drops more and more frames from the recording.
    Not really an issue since it's a podcast rather than a driving video where that actually matters. But the times I happen to be looking @ the video feed it ends up being really annoying on what is otherwise a really high production value. If you could take a look into it that would be great. I would imagine the recording device is overloaded and can't encode fast enough.

    FOR ZACK. Is this the ep where Matt is talking about moving on from the Mach E? Just wanted to pipe in with the regular New Prius being the only option atm (they probably still sell the old very underwhelming Prime) and the NEW Prime is set to be out for next year and the waiting lists are probably already quite full. Matt could probably get bumped up there tho, if he could find a solution until then. Extending the Ford's lease? Getting into something used and interesting for a year that won't depreciate?
    Lexus NX450h+ is the Lexus version of the Rav4 Prime and while boring, is probably one of the best overall vehicles on offer out there that gets NO attention. SavageGeese were pretty blown away by how hard the Rav4 Prime could launch and said it was probably one of the fastest vehicles in a straight line that Toyota has ever made.

    What exactly is wrong with Hershey PA?
    Hershey is one of the top small towns in the country. One challenge is traffic in the summer from people visiting Hersheypark, founded by Milton Hershey for his workers. He gave all of his Hershey food company stock to the Milton Hershey school who provide free education to 2000+ disadvantaged students. He also made a huge donation to establish the Hershey Medical Center which is one of the best hospitals in the country. If he is a bad example, I would like to see what you think is a good example of a corporate leader.
    I think you confused Hershey with Centralia PA with the coal mine fire 53 miles away.

    43:00 the road tax in Holland, Norway is weight based under 500kg(1100 freedom units) and then €1 for every kg after that. They also have staggered luxury amounts after $100,000 and you can use classic cars only a certain number of days a year. It is the future as heavy cars cause more road wear and particle dust.

    Louisville native here. Matt's sort of right about everything being on one block, and the town kinda being bleh outside of that - but there's like 5 or 6 blocks like that. Frankfort avenue, bardstown road, nulu, st. Matthews near chenowith lane, whiskey row. Outside of those, it's fairly residential and commercial. My favorite area in town is Frankfort avenue - there's a nice variety of bars and restaurants, and the club scene is mostly absent. Frankfort Ave tends to be an age 30s-40s crowd.
    We also have some decent parks and hiking for the area, if you're into that, but it might not be impressive to the Californians

    I agree with the tax on super heavy super fast electric cars. But this could be a double edged sword. I’m no physicist but isn’t velocity of a vehicle an even bigger concern? I think the faster a car is going, the even more damage it can cause to others in a crash. Perhaps more so than a hummer ev going just 100 mph into a crash. This tax yall discussed could be applied in a different form to performance cars that can either accelerate quickly or reach very high top speeds… just a thought

    The ATS-V question bugs me. Do you need AWD for a daily in the Pacific Northwest? Look, if the ATS has enough ground clearance, then RWD is fine. I daily a Miata in Yakima and didn't bother with winter tires this year. 90% chance this guy lives in Seattle (because that's what most people mean by "PNW", same way "West Coast" just means LA). Unless you're on Cup 2's or you commute over Snoqualmie Pass every day, AWD is unnecessary. Get good tires and get gud at driving. Get AWD if you want 0-60 in the 3s, for some reason. If RWD and Blizzaks don't do the job, you need a 4x4 truck.
