In this episode we delve a little deeper into American gas station culture, decide that lots of people give advice when you're digging holes and comment about the Grenadier Chassis cab spec. Not to mention glancing on the Grenadiers Sports car DNA once again with some tuning houses aiming for 1000HP. We also drift in to the whimsical with our new favorite segment, what option will be canned next with the demise of the secondary battery for this model year, with the factory and production processes shoring up the back end of the episode. Let the rambling commence.

Loved this episode—your deep dive into gas station culture was oddly nostalgic and hilarious. The hole-digging advice bit had me laughing out loud—so true how everyone suddenly becomes an expert! The Grenadier updates were fascinating too, especially the 1000HP potential—wild stuff. Sad to hear about the secondary battery option disappearing, though. Looking forward to seeing what other quirks get the axe next. Keep the rambling going—it’s half the charm of the show. Always a fun listen!
 
I didn't finishing listening yet but so far this and other podcasts are entertaining and informative.

2 things to point out in my brief listen to this episode.

1. New Jersey has more drive offs with the nozzle still in the car than other states. Why? Because if drivers aren't dispensing the fuel they often forget and drive away thinking they are done. It isn't necessarily a theft issue.

2. In New Jersey the driver of a diesel vehicle can dispense their own fuel regardless of if it is a truck or a passenger vehicle.



Regardless of state leaving your vehicle unattended while fueling is 1. rude :) since they are not parking spots and 2. if the nozzle doesn't click off and overfills the driver is responsible for the spill.
