• Brett Berk

  BRETT BERK is a freelance writer whose non-fiction has appeared in a list of publications so long I'm putting it at the bottom of this post instead of the top. Most important for us, in addition to contributing to all the biggest car magazine, he is the co-author of the automotive books “Never Stop Driving”, “Corvette Stingray: The Mid-Engine Revolution”, and “The Atlas of Car Design“ On this episode we talk about Brett's RIDICULOUS lineup of recent drives; how the new Aston Vanquish holds up to other big super-GT cars; what Mazda might be up to (and why we hope it's not rotary things); why a man repairs Reatta screens; the strange journey of the Oldsmobile Aurora; Saab's end; and how the tariffs might effect the automotive industry. https://brettberk.com/bio/ Recorded April 14, 2025 You can find Cremo’s new line of antiperspirants and deodorants at Target or Target.com Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.
