    My favorite podcast!
    I loveeee listening to the carpool every week! As a mom of two young kids I find Kelly and Lizz so relatable. It feels like catching up with my besties over coffee.
  • jm5840
    Good podcast, bad sniffles
    Enjoy your podcast but find myself turning it off because I can’t handle all the sniffling noises anymore. Thought maybe it was a pregnancy thing but it’s still going. Kills my ears and I listen at 2x.
  • 2738;8828373
    All time Favorite podcast
    This my favorite podcast of all time . Why? Cause I honestly don’t really care about cars. I drive a 2014 Hyundai Elantra and plan to until the wheels fall off or I have twins. This podcast is so relatable to where I’m at in motherhood and I love the humor. Genuinely makes my day and makes me feel less alone when I’m going about my day!

    Long time follower New listener
    I have followed Kelly casually for a few years now but have just recently gotten into her content and am REALLY enjoying it! I love this podcast, I look forward to every episode because I feel like it’s real real life. It’s not your typical influencer deal. I just really love how down to earth these two are and how real they are about things. I feel like I’m just listening to two moms chatting and that’s what I want. Also the debtmom podcast episode literally changed my life in the most serious of ways hahaha

    Productive Holiday Break
    Kellllllly! I know you didn’t like recording solo but you hit that out of the park! That episode was SO helpful and honestly enjoyable to listen to. Obvi we missed you, Lizz, but just want to let Kelly know that she crushed it. This is my favorite podcast on the planet!
  • Momma2Monasmith
    I love this podcast🥰🥰🥰
    My daughter love you two
  • MeggSkll
    So Interesting & Fun
    I love this podcast and Kelly and Lizz! I’m not even super into car stuff, but I still find the podcast interesting and enjoyable. I love all the segments, especially Ditch The Drive Thru, Advice, Blake’s Besties, and when they go through their last 3 transactions. I also loved their recent interview with the Debt Free Mom! Keep up the great work Kelly and Lizz!
  • Giusti Mom
    Makes my day!
    Mom of 2 +1 and this podcast makes me laugh, helped me pick my mom car, and all around helps me feel normal! Can’t wait to hear the next episode.
  • lovegvl
    The breathing noises
    I love this podcast, but we’ve got to do something about the breathing and sniffing noises. It could be when they record remote but there’s definitely a way to not have all the breathy noises. Great podcast, make it better with some better editing 😁
  • Steph667854

    The best podcast
    This podcast is the best! I look forward to all of the new episodes and love that I can listen in the car with my kids. Add in the Facebook group and it’s the best community 🙌🏼
  • madisonhollabaugh
    The best mom podcast
    This podcast has helped me get through having a newborn and toddler while on maternity leave! Such a great variety of topics and Kelly and Lizz are hilarious. Thank you for 2 episodes a week!!!!
  • EGJLo
    Ty & Mattie episode?
    I think maybe we just wait until Lizz & Kelly are back. 😆
  • CaroBC33
    So good!
    I’m not a car person, but this is my favorite podcast. Kelly and Lizz make me laugh and feel like I’m bantering with my own sisters.
  • Jazlynkay
    Love you guys!
    Love the podcast! Listen to every episode! Y’all NEED to try larkspur baby! They have bamboo Jammie’s and clothes that last way better than little sleepies and Kyte did for my kids. And I personally think they are softer and way more inexpensive!
  • 603stitcher
    Top podcast!
    Absolutely love this podcast! I’ve been listening since the beginning & I missed a bunch when I was newly postpartum with not driving as much. I’m now going back & re-listening to them! It really brings joy to my day!
  • Aariv22
    Every mom’s best friends
    The best podcast to listen to actively and passively! I listen to new episodes when they’re released during nap time and listen to old episodes when I’m cooking, cleaning etc. you guys make my day better! Kelly & Lizz will definitely be influencing my next car purchase

    So informative!! As far as sounding the same. Kelly’s voice is very distinctive and Liz’s sounds like the coffee shop girl in Jon Livingston’s Loudermilk.
  • Songbird372
    Like
    Love the content of the Podcast, but I hate how many times Kelly says the word “like”. She says it between every word, 10 times per sentence, it’s so distracting!
  • Milldub
    Happy 200!!
    I love listening to this podcast! Love the sister/friend relationship and vibe! My long commute is made tolerable because of y’all! I love the segments - EXCEPT for Gen Z word or the dictionary one - let’s let those go! 🤣
  • MamaMackDizzle
    Mom Cars that Don’t Exist…Hilarious!
    I’m crying 😭 Always my favorite podcast, but this episode is next level. So funny. Just what I needed on my drive.
  • khol91
    decent podcast
    I’ve been listening to this podcast since it first came out. While I do enjoy it for the most part, I feel like their opinions can get annoying and rude.
  • Madawg12351
    Easy entertaining listening
    Kelly and Liz are so much fun to listen to. They help make mundane tasks like housework or driving something to look forward to. Listening on Tuesdays and Thursdays always feels like getting down to sit and chat with two friends.
  • Chelsealoop
    ❤️
    To be honest I didn’t think I’d like this podcast, but I love it! I love the dynamic between the sisters, the mom talk, and all the different segments. Surprisingly I even find interest in the industry news. They crack me up, especially when they are throwing shade at each other in true sisterly fashion. Would love it if you’d have somewhere on the website for the recipes for Ditch the drive thru though! I know there are a few but not many. A lot of the time I’m listening while driving and can’t write it down.
  • teee_j_3377
    Long time listener
    I’ve been a carpool listener since Kelly and Lizz started. This is an easy to listen to and entertaining podcast. Kelly and Lizz, PLEASE - if you’re going to report industry news, do you due diligence and report unbiased and responsibly.
  • lizzies35
    It’s like hanging out with my sister
    I love this podcast! Kelly and Lizz make me laugh out loud with their sisterly banter. It’s like chatting with my sister/friends. I love hearing their parenting perspectives and the industry news has saved me in many social situations. ❤️
  • HannahE12
    Need a ditch the drive thru recipe book
    Hi! First of all, love the podcast. I tell all of my friends about it. Second, I had to come to the review section to say there HAS to be a “ditch the drive thru” recipe book! Such a great idea. Sending love to you and the babies. Signed, a ford explorer girl mom hoping to make it to the expedition 🚘 ❤️
  • Erinwalkley
    Wish I could be real life friends
    This podcast is the highlight of my Tues/Thurs. Kelly and Lizz… if y’all are looking for some more girlfriends, sign me up! You two are the sweetest and goofiest and make my day. Thanks for letting us into your lives and bringing some light into a harsh world!
  • JKP1988
    Love the Pod
    I just think this pod is so fun and a great listen. There isn’t anything I don’t enjoy about it and over the past couple of months, one thing that has really stood out to me is how highly Kelly and Lizz speak about the people in their life, their husbands, parents, Kelly’s MIL, it’s so positive and heartwarming and there should be more of that put out in the world.
  • KimberlyCM
    I am the glow-up upholstery rocking chair mama!
    Love, Kelly and Lizz! As a long time, listener and fan of the car, mom, I was so excited to hear my submission for a hobby mentioned during the podcast! This podcast is such a fun listen and I save them to listen to while I am out running errands. As a former teen, and a current midwestern mom, tall girl and long time car driver, I love the variety that this podcast has to offer. Best always to these two and all their endeavors!
  • MommaVee87
    Catching back up…
    Hello Kelly & Lizz! I fell off listening and am finally catching up. Just listened to the Sept. 5th episode (yep, I really fell behind from being a weekly listener) and you called out the Jeep Grand Cherokee, mines a 2004. The year I got my license. Haha! Anyways, absolutely love listening to your pod. It’s way better than marginal, you all get the good rating here. 💀
  • KelLizD
    Y’all are the BEST!!
    Kelly and Lizz! First off, my name is Kellie Elizabeth which I feel like is just a fun coincidence! I love listening to your podcasts each week bc they are encouraging, real, helpful, and SO fun! The dynamic y’all have with each other makes it easy to listen and enjoy :). I am doing the Bataan Death March next month and I am trying to save up episodes so I have lots to listen to keep me occupied for 26 miles! My favorite thing is that you guys express your love for the Lord and are using your platform to give Him glory and to serve others! Oh and when I listen I will think, I wish I was sitting in the room with y’all to be chatting and contributing to the convo :). Have a great week ladies! And congrats on baby number 4 Kelly!
  • LayneHW
    Love
    Just love this podcast! Only wish there were more episodes each week!
  • k.idom
    Really want to like it
    I started out loving the pod from the very beginning. What I love: their sister dynamic, other family joining episodes, great 8, recipes, Naptime Kitchen collabs. What I don’t like: the last couples months it’s a lot of The Toast riff off.. I know Kelly loves The Toast but she’s bringing their same content or same “takes” verbatim every week. It’s an ick. Having to take another several week break.
  • jsb819
    Love this podcast
    Love this podcast!! Kelly and Liz cover such a wide array of topics. We are looking to get a new car for me in 2024 and are watching all of the YouTubes videos on our options to be informed and educated
  • CB 1985
    Loved Car Mom + Doug Demuro!
    I’ve literally been waiting for this crossover since I started following Car Mom in 2021!! Loved this episode and even my husband wanted to listen :)
  • TiSelz
    Hands down my favorite podcast
    I have been following The Car Mom since the beginning and love the content that she creates here with her sister. They are both very relatable which I find refreshing. Not only am I an avid listener and instagram follower- I also bought my car based on information from her YouTube videos. Women care about cars! The girls that get it, get it.
  • Mrs. Maddog
    Quality Content
    As a Toyota stan and 4Runner driving mom to two, I love listening to Kelly and Liz talk about real life and also car content. Sometimes it’s difficult to be a car girly when you don’t have friends who also like to talk about cars. So nice to hear relatable car news and everyday talk from women in the same place in life as me!
  • Bethak7
    Love. Love. LOVE.
    I may be a Grand Highlander owner but… I <3 Kelly and Lizz. And I respect Kelly’s choice of Car Mom Car of the Year, mostly because this award is gonna be what motivates Toyota to put anchors/tethers where they SHOULD in future vehicles. Thanks for having opinions and not being afraid to share them, ladies. You da best.
  • LizB214
    Current Mom & Former Teen
    Hey y’all. Long time carpooler here. My name is also Liz so.. there’s that. Y’all are the absolute best thing in Podcasting and hitting the millennial mom genre hard. Just here to say that the zoom call audio was NOT that bad. It did not bother me at all. Keep bringing us the latest tea in the auto industry!
  • Katykattttt
    I <3 her but…book club gave me the ICK
    Usually find Lizz and Kelly so relatable on my commute to/from work and enjoy this audio form of content in addition to the YouTube car tours and Instagram life updates but the recent book review episode made me cringe. I thought Kelly aggressively bashing a book she picked for book club and didn’t finish was so weird. And talking over Lizz (who did finish the book)’s opinion was incredibly rude and unsupportive to book club content. There was no problem with the remote audio quality Kelly - it was your attitude. Still a fan but would not participate in book club again. Signed, Nissan Pathfinder girly and book lover
  • bmill428
    Obsessed
    I look forward to new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday for my commute and truly enjoy their sister dynamic! I always have recipes to use from their ditch the drive thru segment and a few car related talking points to share with my husband which is always fun. Keep it up, ladies! Love y’all!
  • Chrstnehwrd
    It’s giving the Jetson’s
    As a former teen, mom to one, & a carpooler who lives in Montana, I am hoping (for your sake) the weather does in fact warm up a little for your trip like the forecast says (it was -40 to -50) here this past weekend 🥶 I also got SO PUMPED that you will be visiting my state! And even though I won’t be seeing you, It feels like the besties are visiting! Also wanted to thank you for the holiday ‘book club’ though yes the book was a touch corny, it was easy listening and made the Christmas “to dos” (the things I needed/wanted to do but was dreading) more enjoyable! And it helped me feel a little more festive. Thanks ladies!!! Travel safely!
  • buyjfffdff
    Great Podcast
    Honda Pilot mom! Great light listening. I really enjoy listening to the two of you.
  • Breezy1996
    SO RELATABLE
    I’m a first time stay at home mom to one year old twins. I came from the car industry and sold cars before i had them. I LOVE how this podcast is the best of both worlds. I love the auto industry information and blending it all into motherhood. Being a mother/a woman in the auto industry is HARD and i love that Kelly and Lizz are just dominating that world making it more accessible to other moms and women out there. 🩵
  • sparklejuneropequeen
    Love love love!!
    I have binged all the episodes and I love this podcast. Love the phrase MTO and the ditch the driveway segment.
  • NailinIt.with4babes
    Such a fun podcast!
    I love this podcast! I’ve been a long-time follower of Kelly’s (I remember when she was still learning how to link outfits and items on Insta—and truly no judgement from me, I wouldn’t know where to begin if I became an accidental influencer) and I’ve been a carpool listener since it started as well. I have a sister and the way Kelly and Lizz talk to each other reminds me of my sister and I. As a mom of four girls (ages 3, 5, 10, and 13), I looooove listening to the stories about their childhood as I would love for my kids to grow up and be as close to each other as this family seems to be. The millennial word of the day has helped me countless times to be able to follow a conversation with my teen without feeling super lame, so thank you for that! Last but not least, Kelly’s advice helped us purchase our ‘23 Honda Pilot back in Feb 2023. I absolutely love it and have zero regrets! Thanks so much for being who you are, Kelly and Lizz! Former teen and fellow mom, Rashelle

    Fav pod
    The best pod to listen to on my commute home from work!! Sooo relatable and find myself cracking up alone in my car sometimes. Will be shopping for a car this year!! Have an almost-2-year-old and a baby coming in May! Between the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander
