Broadcast date: September 13, 2020

Guest: Enrique Ramirez

GM and Nikola, Road America Attractions

Host Tom Appel and co-hosts Jill Ciminillo and Damon Bell start the show by talking about General Motors’ plan to team up with upstart automaker Nikola to build the Nikola Badger electric pickup truck. We also discuss Cadillac Live, an online showroom that provides personal guided tours of Cadillac’s current products. Enrique Ramirez, Director of Business Services at the famous Road America race course in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, joins us to talk about a few of the many attractions the Road America facility has to offer–even if you’re not a racing fan. Tom has a “who made it?” quiz for Damon and Jill, and Damon runs down the latest articles on the Consumer Guide Daily Drive blog–including a photo feature on a “plain jane” 1964 Ford Galaxie 4-door sedan.
