Hey all, it's the end of the week, and you know what that means. It's podcast time!


This week, I chat with iSeeCars.com Executive Analyst Karl Brauer about the longest-lasting vehicles on the road and I also talk about garage fridges and the Bristol short-track shootout during the NASCAR playoffs with Matthew Guy.


You can find us here or wherever you get your podcasts.

We thank Karl and Matthew for their time and we thank Matt Posky for editing. Most of all, we thank you for listening!

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    No need to think of the new Tun-duhs as being reliable. First it was the engine that was biting it after 40k miles - now the transmissions are going to junk. As I have said, both Toyoduh and Honduh have been resting on their history of dependability and building none of that in the last decade.

      Emissions aside they should’ve kept the NA 3.5 V6 and 5.7 Iforce V8. Had a 2007 Sienna with the 3.5, no problems with it over 100,000 mi sold it 2 years ago. I daily drive a 2021 Tundra In addition to a 1985 FJ60 Land Cruiser.

    I listened to this podcast today and I read the study summary at "www dot iseecars dot com slash longest-lasting-cars-study" and this study is weird. Multiple issues with this thing.
  • Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh its not even 2026 yet ... recall
  • Mnemic Muscle cars are the only CARS still selling. Look up top 10 coupe sales from 5-6 years ago. Damn corvettes were outselling 2 door honda civics. Mustang, Challenger and Camaro were top 3 and by a huge margin, nothing else came close. With Charger being so huge there is room for Dodge to make a smaller coupe
  • D i wonder if the geniuses who thought building an aluminum body truck still think it’s a great idea.
  • D Meanwhile I am so glad my wife chose our loaded 2008 Solara Convertible, an excellent vehicle in every way, over the 2008 VW Eos. Parts are available from Toyota and third party suppliers. The top even too. It just keeps running and running well.
  • Bd2.0 The last thing I could see myself doing is listening to a podcast from some smelly naked old men talking about cars.
