While a few years ago the trends saw comedians talking about their cars, it seems the industry wants to bring something new on top of guys like Jay Leno or Jerry Seinfeld sharing their automotive fantasies with us. The latest trend in the fun-making business seems to involve exposing the Pandora’s box that sits buried in the foundation of every dealership.
Comedy shows targeting car dealers is the latest trend, and we’re back on topic to bring you the newest episode of this kind.

For those of you who are not familiar with Adam Conover’s show, here’s the official description: employs a combination of comedy, history and science to dispel widespread misconceptions about everything we take for granted. A blend of entertainment and enlightenment, Adam Ruins Everything is like that friend who knows a little bit too much about everything and is going to tell you about it... whether you like it or not.”

Nevertheless, at least five states, including Texas, Arizona, Michigan, Maryland and West Virginia, have passed legislation that prevents Tesla from introducing its direct sales approach.
P.S.: Some men just like to see the world burn. Adam might just be one of them, but, thankfully, it's all fictional.
In his quest to bring you the most impressive automotive creations, Andrei relies on learning as a superpower. There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
