Episode 53: Getting stuck in the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Redline, 2018 Buick Enclave, Detroit Auto Show Preview, Crappy Jury-Rigged Car Repairs
Benjamin and Sami drive nearly-identical full-size SUVs this week: the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse and the 2018 Buick Enclave. Each has been completely redesigned and offer an impressive level of practicality and comfort - or at the very least, enough to overcome Sami's cynicism. We also preview the upcoming Detroit auto show as well as discuss some of the worst jury-rigged repairs we've ever done to our beater cars. Oh, and Benjamin gets the Traverse super, super stuck in the snow. Good times!

Show Notes
Which of GM's full-size crossovers would you buy: the 2018 Buick Enclave or the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse? Benjamin and Sami debate these near-twins, trying to figure out what, if anything, marks a clear dividing line between their redesigned platforms, drivetrains, and feature-sets. Or, in other words, how much are you willing to pay for QuietTuning, and how many bad decisions did Benjamin have to make before he got the Traverse completely stuck in a snowbank? The two also talk about what's coming up in Detroit at next week's auto show, as well as some of the scariest 'home-made' car repairs they have ever seen or done to their own rides.
