In this episode of Between Two Pumps , we get into the cars that surprised us, the ones that completely let us down, and why some vehicles prove you should never meet your heroes. From unexpected standouts like classic Alfa Romeos to iconic disappointments like the Turbo Trans Am, this episode is all about real-world driving experiences and honest enthusiast takes. We also talk about which cars have aged well, which haven't, and how expectations can shape the way we experience a car behind the wheel. If you've ever chased a dream car—or been surprised by something you didn't expect—this one's for you. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/between-two-pumps-7795627/episodes/never-meet-your-heroes/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/between-two-pumps-7795627/never-meet-your-heroes.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
