Airport Garage Towing
Robbie's dealing with a family emergency so Nicole tells us about her latest misadventure with her Jeep Wagoneer S as well as the Toyota Crown Signia. Sam had the Toyota Grand Highlander Nightshade in invisible grey.In the news, Lucid Air, Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX get Supercharger support, but the Lucid is as slow as a Chevy Bolt. The Acura TLX is out of production but the new Honda Prelude gets a Civic Type-R suspension and someone paid $204K for an old Integra Type-R. After 250K miles a Mach-E still has 92% of its original battery capacity. Tesla owners should stay away from water if they want their warranties. Boston probably won't get robotaxis soon and our pals at TFL bought a first-generation Dodge Viper and it hasn't killed them -- yet.LinksLucid Air Gets Supercharger support -- sort ofHonda Prelude gets Type-R suspensionAcura TLX is DoneHonda/Acura gets Supercharger AccessMach-E with 250K miles still has 92% battery capacityTesla Warranties and Water$204K for an Integra?Toyota to build next Supra in-houseNo Waymos in BostonSpeed Kills RangeTFL Buys a 1st-gen Dodge ViperFord Customer ServiceAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
