Millennial 911

Alyssa needs a car

November 13, 2023 • Alyssa and Megan • Season 1 • Episode 2

Our first responder this week is David Fairbanks, a definite automotive aficionado, but don't call him a "car guy". David came to the rescue when Alyssa needed to find a car stat but had no idea where to start. Not only did he help Alyssa, but he offers a practical and accessible guide to finding wheels that work for you.
