the tech world um do you have any like review unit horror stories or is it mostly smooth sailing because i'm with cars it's a little different i've had cars for a couple days or a week or so and it's like you have to deal with insurance more and you have to deal with like what if there's rock chips on the car when you give it back and how many miles you're allowed to put on it so it's a little different right yeah they send the the press cars um i really for a very long time i tried to avoid any press cars because i always felt that if the manufacturer is providing you with something then you know there's there's a question of objectivity there and so for years i wouldn't take press cars or i would take one every couple months or something but when covet happened my wife and i were trying to get pregnant and we i just didn't want to go to car dealerships which are like notoriously some of the most conservative i didn't want to deal with any of that stuff so i started getting more press cars coming in and that that started to come in and so i do that a lot more now although i still think it's kind of a NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN split with owners and and press cars yeah the cars come to your house with a full tank of gas and fully washed and i know some car journalists who don't possess a personal car and so at that point you have to wonder these guys need this to continue right like the is are they really being objective they can't and meanwhile these are car people who don't car journalists who don't own a car i know many of them don't and so i always try to kind of resist that thing but but yeah they show up and then you have it for a week or whatever and you provide your impressions the one big benefit to it even as questionable as all that sounds and i still think it's very ethically dubious having a car for a week you really do get the chance to you drive it at night you drive in traffic you drive it in rain and you get the chance to really kind of experience it more than me showing up at a guy's house driving it for an hour filming it for five you know four hours and then it's not quite yeah that was always my challenge with car videos is i want to spend more time with them like a phone like one of the common questions i get is how long does it take you once you've gotten the thing to figure to feel like you you know it well enough to to give your impressions or whatever like with headphones i can i can spend three hours with a pair of headphones and know everything about them short of like battery life i can know everything about a pair of headphones you give me a smartphone it's like okay i want to go through the battery cycle a few times give me like four five six days before i really feel like i know this very well really and and i think that's pretty short because in a lot of worlds where you don't know phones as well as someone who's used a thousand phones you need more time but for a car it's like yeah i'd wanna i had one at least a week i'd wanna i would want a weekend and i'd
