Ambassadors of Car Culture—Ryan, Jorge, and yours truly are back for part 2, the results! In part 1 we had $150k to buy three cars on Bring a Trailer, our objective to make as much money between the time we found the cars and what they actually sound for.

This is an after hours episode that is a little more edgy than normal. Who won? Who is Samantha Fountain and who was the smartest with their car buying?

There was one clear winner, two losers and the wager of some Omaha Steaks to settle on!

Sit down, tune in and enjoy!

Wrapping up the episode, we extend our heartfelt holiday wishes, recommend some fantastic podcasts, and promise to return next year with more riveting car discussions. So buckle up and join us for an episode packed with insights, surprises, and hearty laughs.
