All Gas No Breaks

When Nik’s out-of-office email reveals a 10+ person "Test Miles" payroll, Marconi and Trish notice two glaring omissions: themselves.

All that, plus your automotive questions in "Ask Test Miles." Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nik reveals his favorite food to eat in the car and somehow it only gets more chaotic from there.

Which honestly explains a lot. Cars, cheese, near medical emergencies, and questionable life choices. Just another normal episode of Test Miles with Nik Miles, Trish, and Marconi.
