Affordable 21st-Century Performance, Revisited
Shownotes
Several of our core BaT Podcast crew are away on business and/or pleasure this week, so we bring you a remastered version of episode 118 - we'll be back next week!
Alex, Randy, and Howard give a brief event recap and then talk about a Saab record holder; the "full mileage discount"; how much raw performance can be had for under (or well under) $40k; scary prospects from the likes of AMG and Aston Martin; the ideal four-Porsche driveway for value seekers; and what's in store for the first-year Bentayga.
