The Best Selling Vehicle of All Time: My Ford F-150
Ford has sold more F-150's than any other vehicle in history. My 2013 Ford F-150 XLT Supercab is the most middle of the road vehicle possible in this historic family. Does that make it the Goldilocks truck that does everything "just right"? Or is it awkwardly stuck in the middle, without specialization or skill?  Also, at the end of the episode I'll give it a Fun Car Score on the spreadsheet and preview what's to come in the next episode. (Hint, its more Ford truck related comparisons! How is this becoming such a consistent topic?!)  -Brendan

Nissan 400Z! The next Z car
Nissan just announced a prototype for the long awaited 400Z! With 400 horsepower, a twin turbo V6, and a manual transmission, it follows the Z car formula to a T. Will it be any good and what else do we know? Stay tuned. (Note, in the first few minutes I misspoke and said “twin turbo V8”! It’s definitely not a V8. It’s a V6! Apologies.)

Better than an F1? The new GMD T.50

With a name that's no more inspiring than a can of soup, the T.50 would appear to be yet another low production, extremely expensive hypercar for the ultra-rich playboys who merely buy them to have them perpetually parked in well-lit garages.  But this car's intended use could not be further from that unfortunate but prevalent doom that awaits most of today's most exclusive driving machines.  Here are my thoughts on the new T.50 and a quick explanation of why it may just be the best drivers car ever made.

Does more power make a car better?
If adding more power makes a car better or more fun to drive, does that mean they ALL need more power? What about lightweight cars? What about ones with a lot of power already? Brendan shares thoughts on power to weight ratio, balance, and how speed relates to how good a car is to drive.

What makes a car "FUN"?
Today we discuss the elements of what a vehicle needs to be fun. Does it need a ton of power? How about race tires? Or super stiff suspension that rattles your teeth out? As you'll see I wager that a different mix of elements come together to make the best possible driving experience. Disagree? Great! Leave me some comments describing your experience and explain what you think makes a car fun.
