The automotive world still has a discrimination problem, and this episode dives deep into a shocking case that cost two Missouri dealerships $275,000 in settlement fees. When Landmark Dodge Ram and Landmark Chrysler Jeep were caught refusing to hire women for sales positions and men for office roles, the EEOC stepped in with a lawsuit that revealed disturbing practices and attitudes. Former HR employees testified that management claimed "women didn't have the respect necessary" for car sales and that training them was "a waste of time."

Beyond this central story, we tackle the automotive recall landscape, including Ford's massive 1.5 million vehicle recall for rearview camera issues affecting models from 2015-2019. Numerous other manufacturers face similar challenges, from improperly sealed windshields to potential vehicle rollaways. The industry is experiencing significant market shifts too – Stellantis has canceled its electric Ram 1500 pickup citing slowing EV demand, while Tesla's once-loyal customer base is eroding as owners defect to legacy brands.

Our popular Sold Cars Roundup guessing game delivers surprises with classic vehicles selling for unexpected prices. A 1965 Pontiac Bonneville fetched $21,000, while a 1930 Ford Model A went for just $10,000, and a 1966 Ford F100 commanded an impressive $30,450. Meanwhile, lawmakers are finally addressing the catalytic converter theft epidemic with the PART Act, requiring VINs to be stamped on these valuable components. Whether you're interested in industry ethics, market trends, or simply love classic cars, this episode offers insights that go beyond typical automotive coverage.
