Dear Abby: “my daughter Stacy is looking for her first car and has her heart set on a VW bug. Any suggestions?”
It’s not uncommon for us to receive an email or text like this one from friends or co-workers. As fathers of future petrol-heads, we couldn’t resist getting the band back together for yet another What Should I Buy debate.
Mind you, these messages are sometimes never more detailed than what you heard, but it’s enough to start the conversation. - And like all What Should I Buy (WSIB) episodes… we have some shopping criteria, so the next logical questions are obviously: how old?, how many miles? and what’s your budget?
Tonight we’re bringing together some of the “OG” What Should I Buy crew: Mountain Man Dan, (and) Rob Luhrs, and Mike “Story Time” Crutchfield for this episode, but it wouldn’t be a What Should I Buy? without our panelists William “Big Money” Ross, Mark “The Data Cruncher” Shank, and Don Weberg from Garage Style Magazine.
And in this episode our panel of extraordinary petrol-heads are challenged to find our “first time driver” something that will make their friends go “YOU DROVE THAT AT 16?”
