In this week’s episode we appreciate the individual that perfected the Buick station wagon. It took a lot of work, but the results are nothing short of stunning. We… Read more →

Episode 192-At least he didn’t say tube tops. There’s a quite morbidity about a decaying, neglected, and no longer used factory. There’s a quietness to it. Sadness in the stillness of an era that has long since passed. Wow. Trust me, this show is not as much of a downer as those Smiths-caliber sentences portray. Trust us. We actually had… Read more →

Episode 191-Jeepie go BOOOOST!!! It’s hard to believe that out of Ian and Dave, that Ian is the one that’s driven a dualie pickup truck.

Episode 186-Officially Unofficial We have no idea why we keep getting asked back to the press day at the Denver Auto Show, but we’re not going to look a gift Prius in the grille.

Episode 185-A Man, A Plan, A Kart Stuck In A Barricade They say that the best laid plans of mice and men, and in this case our two goofball hosts, go astray. That’s true. There’s no arguing that. In this episode we recap Dave’s genius plan on how to get a couple clean laps in when karting with the gruppetto-esque… Read more →

Episode 184-We did not see that coming. You know, sometimes you think you’ve got someone all figured out. You’ve taken in the evidence, judged that book by its cover and then…WHAM!
