164-TeamClearCoat Grieves The Loss Of A True Icon, Well At Least The Loss Of One Of Said Icon’s Specific Jobs. They’re Totally Fine.
Episode 164-Really, he’s fine. But we’re not. Grief has several stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance. Here at the TeamClearCoat podcast, we’ve pretty much perfected going though all of those, save for acceptance, so much so that it’s pretty routine at this point. Dusty Rusty, Ian’s oil pan(s), our general hopes and dreams, and so much more have… Read more →

162-Dave Stops Being Nice, Ian Defends His Position, And We Adopt Different Personas
Episode 162-Blue shell. Questions. We has them. Can karting be had without thinking of Mario-esque power-ups? Can Subarus be had without ambient lingering vape? Can a rental Home Depot van be driven without overalls appearing on your body? Which came first, the dent or the depleted health meter? Is it better to hear Buffet or inflict Buffet upon passers-by? Answers.… Read more →

Episode 161-What’s that coming down from the sprinklers? The stuff that keeps you up at night. The source of the heartburn. No, we’re not talking about that certainly-too-old baked ziti that you panic ate out of the fridge at 3 AM, we’re talking about the world we live in. The stew. Picture the world as the stew and our goofy… Read more →
160-Dave Gets Faster, Ian And His Saab Have A Very Interesting Relationship, And We Find Someone That Has It All Figured Out.
Episode 160 Booty N Pizza. What more can be said? What more could be desired out of life? Never have eleven letters said so much. Our admiration dials get turned to 11 on this show; normally a Mustang owner wouldn’t cause so much envy…but…Booty N Pizza.

159-Ian Ruins Q-Bert, Dave Injures Himself, And We’ll Never Want To Play Toad Again. Ever.
Episode 159-Hurrrrp. Look, there’s no getting around this. Toad. Yep, that Toad. We can never play Toad in Mario Kart again without throwing up a bit in the back of our mouths. Thankfully she didn’t describe it as Dry Bones with the tank, because that’s Dave’s default choice, on the DS version at least. What? Car show? Oh, right. Car… Read more →
158-RIP BURT REYNOLDS
Episode 158-Ups and Downs There’s one thing that absolutely needs to be above the fold on this episode’s description: RIP BURT REYNOLDS In other news, we talk about some stuff we like and stuff we don’t. A motorcycle racer’s behavior? Bad. Kids racing pedal cars at the Goodwood Revival? Capital G Good. Also in this episode, we discuss some karting… Read more →
157-Ian Gets His Brain Tickled By A Nissan, Dave Displays Empathy For A Coal-based Misconception, And We Find A Vanity Plate That We Actually Like
Episode 157-Coal Rolls There’s some surprises in this episode of the TeamClearCoat Podcast. First, we discuss how much fun we had in Nissan’s hopped-up golf kart. After all, tire squeal plus car equals fun, no matter the propulsion system. Another surpirse was our affinity for a huge Subaru, this one really caught us off guard, but hey, if you can… Read more →
156-Dave And Ian Drive Cars At The 2018 Rocky Mountain Driving Experience
Episode 156 – They just handed us the keys… Apologies up front for the abreviated episode. Dave and Ian were busy kanoodling across Colorado in all kinds of cars and we’re able to make their regularly scheduled appointment in the blanket fort this week.
