    • There are always rich people with little to no regard for money and just want to dump some of it in cars. That works for Reaganomic-type trickle-down economics. The higher fuel prices and slumping economy hits the middle and lower class citizens the worst, unfortunately.

      I thought this pod did a good job of exploring a topic not normally thought about. Having the XL lower thirds was distracting and there could be a little more panache on the car shots, but overall, a nice job of investigative automotive journalism. Could have been cut a little quicker, too. The D&D guy dragged on.

    • This is the first recession that is hitting the upper class. It will be interesting to see if they start to chop off luxury items as well as what the middle class is doing right now.

    • I think this pod shows that owners of higher priced vehicles will eventually be effected when the economy finally bottoms and finally reaches the higher class.

    • all is as would be expected.. it will be interesting to see if this slows down as the upper class starts to get affected by the housing crises, coming to a theatre near you..
