Ram 1500 RHO, Carvel Ice Cream, Leasing an Electric Car

Jill and Tom opened the show talking about EV range and Jill’s recent trip from Chicago to Indianapolis in an electric test car with only about 200 miles of promised range. Listen in on her story. The hosts acknowledged a couple of friends-of-the-podcast birthdays, and discussed how cheap gas has become locally and nationally.  Tom shared a tribute to his dad, who died about a week ago. It’s a funny story about pouring a milk shake out the window of his father’s shake-colored 1970 Nova.  Tom went on to complain about Land Rover’s trim-level naming strategy, which is, indeed, rather confusing.  Still in the first segment, Jill shared her impressions of the new Ram 1500 RHO, which more-or-less replaces the TRX in the big-truck lineup.  In the second segment Jill and Tom welcome John Vincent of U.S. New to the show. John walked the hosts through the pros and cons of leasing, and why it makes sense for EV shoppers especially to consider leasing.  In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom’s “America or Someplace Else” quiz. The quiz includes a question about fake Halloween Hallmark movies. Can you pick the fake? Rumi.ai All-in-one meeting tool with real-time transcription & searchable Meeting Memory™
