Buckle up — because this one’s equal parts hilarious and horsepower. Chris and Courage share the real stories behind their failed driving tests (yes, more than once!) before building their ultimate 3-car garages — with one big twist: they can only pick from a single car brand.

Chris goes all-in on Ford, dreaming up a Shelby-powered garage full of trucks and muscle cars, while Courage flexes with a sleeper-spec Infiniti lineup. The two debate used BMW headaches, underrated V8 SUVs, and whether anyone actually needs 4WD.

If you love car talk with personality, this one’s for you.

Highlights:

• Real stories from failed driver’s tests 🚦

• Building dream 3-car garages (Ford vs Infiniti showdown)

• The rise & fall of Nissan’s golden era

• Underrated performance SUVs & luxury sleepers

• Why 4WD gets used twice a year

• BMW buyer beware talk — what to avoid
