Description

Sorry for being a day late, fans! The Carmudgeons were on-location recording a forthcoming set of videos for the Hagerty Channel!

Jason and Hyphen have asked you to pose your questions, and as usual, you've proven that the Carmudgeon Audience is a bunch of smart, interesting humans. The questions were thought-provoking and intelligent.

And so numerous that we couldn't finish answering them in the previous episode, including:

- What's a great weekend ride for under $35,000?
- Why don't we love the BMW 2002? [Because the E30 is better?]
- White-elephant car gift? [Bentley Turbo R?]
- Practical snow-worthy fun daily driver? [E90 335i xDrive or R32 Golf]
- What mods would you do to a 911 Carrera SC?
- What about a Self-Driving BMW? Ultimate Riding Machine?
- Why is the Small Block better than Ford's Voodoo GT350?
- Talk about Double-Wishbone Hondas
- Does the new BRZ have rev-hang?
- Dirtfish Rally School (or Team O'Neill?) 
- How to become a better driver — track school?
- What does the 2025 Toyota MR2 need to be successful?
- Why do cars no longer have spare tires?
- Do you get used to 800-hp Ferraris? Speed vs. Experience?
- Have we ever driven an SVT Focus?
- First car on our spreadsheet: Mazda5 manual
- Should journalists include brand reputation and reliability?
- Can the buyers of a car ruin its reputation? See: Altima Driver!
- Subaru Drivers are the Worst Drivers on the planet
- Will people modify their EVs? Yes, absolutely.
- McLaren GT's brake feel?
- Are Alfa 105s good to drive?
- Why didn't Derek like his 991.2 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring
- Are modern cars just made out of parts from suppliers? (Let's talk Tesla!)
- Why doesn't Hagerty insure 18-year-old drivers?
- Will we be able to resist driving an EV for the next 40 or 50 years?
- What's with the cheat code on the Lotus Omega / Carlton?
- Motorcycle vs Car enthusiasts — are we the same?

...and more. We'll finish them another time!

Part of the Hagerty Podcast Network, the Carmudgeon Show is a comedic, information-filled conversation with Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott, two car enthusiasts who are curmudgeonly beyond their years. Proving you don’t have to be old to be grumpy, they spend each episode talking about what’s wrong with various parts of the automotive universe. Despite their best efforts to keep it negative, they usually wind up laughing, happy, and extolling their love for cars. Which just makes them angrier and more bitter. Jason Cammisa is an automotive journalist, social-media figure, and TV host with over 300 million views on YouTube alone. Jason’s deeply technical understanding, made possible by a lifelong obsession with cars, allows him to fully digest what’s going on within an automobile — and then put it into simple terms for others to understand. Also, a Master’s Degree in Law trained him to be impossible to argue with. Derek Tam-Scott still tries. He’s a young automotive expert with old-man taste in cars, and a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering — which means he knows how to be civil to Jason. Or at least he tries. With a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving and brokering classic and exotic cars, he’s experienced the world’s most iconic cars. And hated most of them.
