## Resource

Episode 21 of The Drive with Lauren and Karl brings back automotive radio legend Alan Taylor—and we cover a LOT of ground. This is worth your time and sharing the stories. Canada backs off its EV mandate while California pushes harder. Per-mile driving taxes in California and Massachusetts could cost households $1,200–$4,200 a year. And starting in 2026, remote kill switches will be required in all new vehicles—was this about safety… or control? We break down what it really means for drivers. Alan joins us to talk about his newest investment—the incredible Ford Mustang GTD—and why he pulled the trigger on one of the most extreme Mustangs ever built. We also discuss dealers selling more salvage-title cars, iSeeCars’ latest reliability study, and our reviews of the Lamborghini Temerario and Audi A6. Policy, performance, and practical advice—this episode has it all.
