Your car is an avatar, and you're being judged on it. Jason and Derek laugh their way through their own offensiveness, giving honest reactions to how they consider drivers of different brands of cars. This is episode #1, covering Subaru at first, and then alphabetically going through the list of manufacturers from Acura to Jeep.


It includes stereotypes of:

Acura drivers,

Alfa Romeo drivers,

Aston Martin drivers,

Audi drivers,

Bentley drivers,

BMW drivers,

Buick drivers,

Cadillac drivers,

Chevrolet drivers,

Chrysler drivers,

Dodge drivers,

Ferrari drivers,

Fiat drivers,

Ford drivers,

Genesis drivers,

Honda drivers,

Hyundai drivers,

Infiniti drivers,

Jaguar drivers, and 

Jeep drivers.


This might be the most curmudgeonly episode of the Carmudgeon Show yet, because it sure seems like Jason and Derek hate everyone else on the road. At least they hate everyone equally?
