Main theme: We tell tales of how we spent far too much money keeping some of our own enthusiast-based cars running. We also talk about how, in retrospect, maybe it wasn't such a good idea.

Driven this week: 2019 Subaru Ascent.

Audience questions:
• What would be our choice for a dream-car daily driver?
• It's time to replace my Volkswagen GTI, and the budget is around $60,000—what should I get?
• What car would the experts get that is inexpensive to maintain, has decent storage, can handle light dirt roads, and is priced around $25,000?
