Car Matchmaker season 2 episode 10 entitled "Cooking With Gas" features Spike Feresten, a comedian and car enthusiast, searching for the perfect car match for his clients. In this episode, he helps a mother of two who is quickly approaching her 40th birthday, and is looking for a car that can keep up with her active lifestyle.
The client, Kristi, is a food blogger who spends most of her time driving to various cooking events and food festivals. She currently drives a Dodge Durango, which she loves, but she is ready for something new and exciting. Kristi wants a car that is compact and fun to drive, yet still practical for her daily needs. She also has a preference for American-made cars and is a big fan of muscle cars.
Spike begins the search by taking Kristi for a test drive in a 2015 Dodge Challenger, which he thinks would be a perfect match for her. Kristi is impressed with the car's power and sleek design, but worries that it may not be practical for her needs, especially with two children. Spike reassures her that the Challenger has a spacious backseat and highlights its safety features.
Next on the list is the Ford Mustang GT, which Spike believes would be a great option for Kristi. They take it for a test drive and Kristi is immediately in love with the car's power and handling. However, she starts to have doubts about the Mustang's practicality, particularly about the lack of trunk space.
Spike listens to Kristi's concerns and decides to take her to a car dealership to test drive the newest addition to the Ford line, the Ford EcoSport. Kristi is initially hesitant because she doesn't think it is a muscle car, but Spike points out that it has plenty of power and space for her needs. Kristi is surprised at how much she enjoys driving the EcoSport and is impressed with its practicality and versatility.
Despite enjoying the EcoSport, Kristi still has reservations about giving up the power of a muscle car. Spike takes her to a drag racing track to give her a taste of what it's like to drive a true muscle car. Kristi gets behind the wheel of a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro and is blown away by its power and speed.
After her experience at the track, Kristi realizes that while she loves muscle cars, she needs something more practical for her daily life. Spike takes her back to the Ford dealership to revisit the EcoSport, but not before surprising her with a custom EcoSport that has been outfitted with a racing stripe and other design elements that satisfy her love of muscle cars.
In the end, Kristi decides that the EcoSport fits her needs perfectly. She loves the car's practicality and versatility, but also appreciates its nod to her love of muscle cars. She is thrilled to have found the perfect match and looks forward to her next cooking adventure with her new car.
Overall, "Cooking With Gas" is a fun and informative episode of Car Matchmaker that showcases Spike Feresten's expertise in finding the perfect car match for his clients.
