## Resource

In Episode 104 of the AutoGuide Show, Host Greg Migliore interviews Myron Vernis, the co-author of "A Quiet Greatness: Japan's Most Astonishing Cars." Greg chats with Mryon about his interest in Japanese cars and the many interesting elements -- including design and engineering feats -- that are often overlooked. Then Mike and Kyle join to discuss what's in the AutoGuide Garage, including the Lexus IS500, Mercedes CLE, Nissan Leaf and Subaru WRX tS. Mike's latest gear test shows off the prowess of a dash cam, and the Used Car Listing Spotlight returns with a 'daily driver' 1975 Chevelle. We close with the mailbag.
