Yo! Our Twitch host, Multimedia Producer Erik Maier, actually played well today! He should maybe retire while he's ahead. Skip to the last game to see an absolutely epic Rocket League goal.

Friday, February 14th - Episode #614 of the Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale and Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. The big event they're discussing this week is the 2020 Chicago Auto Show. They run down the big reveals and interesting things they saw at the show, as well as this year's Editors' Picks. They follow up by hitting some quick topics, including the new Hyundai Sonata, throwback liveries on new cars, the fate of the VW Atlas Tanoak, the four-cylinder Toyota Supra, and Jaguar XE vs. Alfa Romeo Giulia. Next, they talk about driving the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica and 2020 Lexus RX 450h. Lastly, they take to the mailbag to help a listener replace a BMW 135i with something more winter-friendly in the "Spend My Money" segment.

Monday - Senior Producer Christopher McGraw went to the 2020 Outdoor Retailer show in Colorado. The winter show featured some cool gear and a bit of automotive stuff, but perhaps the most interesting info to come out of OR 2020 was the carbon footprint calculator and offset tool developed by The North Face in a partnership with Protect Our Winters. In this episode of Behind The Wheel, we show you how to use it to offset your next road trip:

Tuesday - We got NASCAR Heat 4, and host Erik Maier is already making enemies in the game. Broadcasted live on Twitch and rerun on YouTube -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/autoblog:

Wednesday - Experience the view from the driver’s seat of the 2020 BMW 840i xDrive Gran Coupe:

Thursday - Broadcast on Twitch  — Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/autoblog — Erik played TT: Isle of Man on this stream because we couldn't figure out why in the world the base price of this game is $71.99 in the Xbox Store. The pricing somehow made even less sense after we played it and could barely get through the first half-hour. After that, we jumped over to Lonely Mountains Downhill (super fun, but probably not all that fun for you guys to watch) and then finally to NASCAR Heat 4, which is great for all parties involved:

Friday - Editor-In-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by West Coast Editor James Riswick on episode 613 of the Autoblog Podcast to chat about driving the Volvo V60 Cross Country, what they thought about the Subaru Outback, and even this year's crop of Super Bowl commercials.
