So three out of the four are supercharged as Eric pointed out.
Um, no supercharged Aston's in 2006.
Yeah.
I, I think that this quad factor, this Mount Carmore gets the
ultimate wax wings, Mount Carmore.
Oh yeah.
This would be so good for such a short period of time.
So briefly, the only good thing is you could probably use the
F-150 to tow most of the rest of them.
You could.
You need to.
You really could.
Yeah.
This, I think this is the waxiest, waxiest wings.
This is, it is the antithesis of the Mount Carmore I proposed of
the Toyota, right?
Right.
Like the reliability polar offices.
But man.
But man.
Oh man.
For a brief shining moment.
You would be the coolest motherfucker on the block.
Yeah.
Like you had your house repossessed.
Yes.
Yes.
And so it's so wild how all this stuff like was ramping up like
right before the housing crisis, right?
Or the,
Yeah.
That's what a bubble is Dave.
Yeah.
I know.
I know.
But like it's so weird the ways like financial expression
happens in these bubbles.
Like,
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, it's wild.
2006 was a bananas year.
It was.
No, I think that yeah, I was going the same place.
And it's the same with the 2006 GM too, right?
Yeah.
Because they own a, they own a bunch of shit then too.
Right.
Man.
That's a really, really good, good entry.
And the V-12 Vantage is a good, good idea there too.
Or V-12 Vanquish.
Vanquish.
Yeah.
I knew what you meant.
Yeah.
Or DB-9.
So that's, that's an option as well.
Yeah.
I would still, I think I would still go for GT.
At least it's a little more reliable, I would think.
I don't know.
Aston Martin.
Who knows, man?
Who knows?
Yeah.
I've seen more for GTs in person than I have Aston's from that era.
Oh, really?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've seen a couple of those.
Yeah.
We talked to a guy at the very first cars and coffee that you and I went to together
about his Ford GT.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Amazing.
Yeah, that is.
Okay.
So, okay.
So all of the ones he picked.
Let's do this.
Let's do the Toyota test again.
Okay.
Okay.
Supra.
Or.
Vanquish.
Vanquish.
I mean.
V-12 Vanquish.
Of course it is.
Of course.
But I know it's only going to be good for 12 minutes.
But those 12 minutes though, Dave, those 12 minutes are so good.
One cylinder per minute.
But then while you're waiting for the pickup truck, just think of how good the pictures
will be that you'll take on the side of the road.
Yeah.
You will take some off.
It's so pretty.
It is.
It is.
So, okay.
Aston Martin.
I would take an Aston Martin over the Supra.
Okay.
Now this is one that I'm interested in.
Tacoma or F-150 Lightning?
I would go Tacoma.
Okay.
I would because it would bring back all of the nostalgia that I have for my old hard
body pickup trucks.
It would.
Just like.
So, Peter's buddy Tim that I hung out with and he drove the Nuggy around for a
little bit.
Yeah.
He has a Tacoma.
It's a lot of trucks.
But like I opened the door to his Tacoma and just smelled the interior because I
needed that in that moment.
Right.
You know?
Right.
So.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
I think I would go.
I think I would ultimately go Tacoma as well because it's what I want out of a pickup
truck.
Right.
If I could drive one of them and then hand the keys back, I would go
Lightning.
Sure.
And I was going to live with it.
Tacoma.
Tacoma.
Tacoma all day.
Absolutely.
Yep.
Okay.
All right.
Sedan.
Uh-huh.
What about you?
You go first.
Now what?
Oh, it's the jack.
You go jack.
100%.
No, you don't.
You go to the poor house.
Uh-huh.
No, I know.
I know.
It's a terrible decision.
Yes.
It's a terrible decision.
I do not often tell you that you are making the wrong decision, but you're making the
wrong decision.
It's so much cooler.
It's so much cooler.
You have to admit it's so much cooler.
It is cooler, but no way you're getting me out of an LS and into a Jag from 2006.
No.
Not happening.
Not happening.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Okay.
And then the last one.
So far, I'm two and one and you're one.
Right.
Only one that you've changed.
Uh-huh.
What about the LX versus the Range Rover?
You know exactly what I'm going to say, and I know exactly what you're going to say.
Do you?
What do you think I'm going to say?
You're going to say LX as well.
I am going to say LX as well.
Because there's bad decisions and then there's taking a Range Rover over in LS.
Right.
There's bad decisions and there's traumatic brain injury.
Yes.
Right.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
And I haven't hit my head today.
So yeah, I'm going to go LX.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know that even there, for you, there are some things that it's a bridge too far.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
So far, only two vehicles have made it onto your Mount Carmore.
We haven't had a full lineup, even coming close yet.
No.
For me, no.
Like, and like I was saying when we were talking about this on the show last week,
this isn't like, this isn't what I think everyone should pick.
This is just, this is mine.
This is the thing I obsess over.
And I love what other people have brought to the table.
Yeah.
Eric, you know, Dak and Ian, thank you so much for chiming in.
We've got one more from Blue Sky that we haven't done yet.
Oh, we do?
Okay.
Oh yeah.
Let's do it.
Okay.
Yeah.
The Dragonfish one, the third one down.
Oh, okay.
I missed that.
Okay.
Copy link URL.
Okay.
All right.
It's an interesting one.
Okay.
Let's see what we got.
Oh, and actually I've got a couple of other ones that have come in.
Since we've gone live.
Like as we've been, as we've been going.
Oh no.
This is interesting.
This is 1995 Mazda.
So the B2000 or 9000, B2000 pick them up truck, right?
This, so culturally, many truck wise, I can tell you just like where I was
at it was Toyota, Nissan, and then Mazda, right?
Yeah.
And it was actually more like Toyota Ford Ranger, Nissan, you know,
Mazda, Dakota, right?
That stuff down there.
But okay.
So the Mazda, the Mazda RX7 from 1995, the FD.
Yes.
Right?
Yeah.
The Maxima.
The 929.
That's a 929.
That's right.
That's a 929, which is really cool.
It is really cool.
I knew a guy that had one.
Yeah.
And then the MPV, which I think is a really intriguing choice.
Uh-huh.
It's sort of a minivan.
Sort of a minivan, but sort of an SUV.
But sort of an SUV.
I think we count it.
I think it works.
I do.
I could see cross shopping in LS with, or LX with this.
Yeah.
Why not?
No, but like a forerunner?
Yes.
Right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Are you just getting responses?
Are you going through them?
No, no, I was just trying to get back to the,
or talk about speech.
Okay.
Yeah.
I, I, this is really interesting.
And I am especially interested to hear how you,
because I think,
I think there's potential for two of these for you.
Really?
You think the 929 is going to unseat an LS?
I think so.
You don't think so?
929 only came with a V6, buddy.
Oh, really?
I'm pretty sure.
Yeah.
Well, I guess that makes sense.
Yeah.
I think that's Mazda did have.
Four cylinders and V6s at that point.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was the three liter, right?
Yep.
Which is great, but it was such a cool looking car.
It is a great looking car.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What was that 2000?
Oh, 1990.
1995.
95.
Yeah.
Yep.
It was like kind of like the bubbly 90s era,
but like done really well.
Yeah.
It was kind of like what like Buick was going for at that time,
but like actually executed correctly.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I've never thought about that, but you're exactly right.
Or like Oldsville, like what they were doing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what they wanted the Regal and the Cutlass to look like.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, good for you.
But yeah, I've always liked the way these looks.
I thought they were really cool.
But then Supra versus FDRX7.
Oh, man.
I mean, I would go Supra, but I know you would go FDRX7.
I would.
I know you would.
Right?
I think that's just painfully cool.
Right.
Yes.
Amazing.
Amazing.
I love rotary engines.
I love the RX7.
And I think I would take the Supra still.
Yeah.
You know, and I think when it really came down to it, I think the RX7 would be the only one
for me that would unseat something from 98 Toyota.
Okay.
Yeah, that makes sense.
That makes sense.
If they had a V8 in the 929, though, I could see you going for that.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like if the Ford partnership was really that gelled?
Yeah.
Okay.
Dragonfish did put in a second entry, which was one that I was really trying to figure out
how to do, which is Honda.
Okay.
And I like this.
I was trying to remember when the Ridgeline came out.
But they all, Dragonfish also cheated a little bit here and substituted the element instead
of the Ridgeline as they're like truck.
Mmm.
Mmm.
That's a disappointed day.
I will tell you that there is nothing worse than a base as Honda element when it comes
to driving experience.
I would agree.
It is so bad at altitude, man.
I love all the interior stuff.
The fold-up side seats, the stadium rear seating, the whole interior is great.
But dude, that engine is so anemic, you know.
I also don't think, and I'm going to duck because I love lots of Honda sports cars.
Yes.
I've driven tons of like sporty civics and everything else over the years.
And we drove the Integra last year and it was awesome.
Integra.
Back-to-back with the Civic Si.
Right.
So, so good.
I can't think of a Honda sedan, like a flagship Honda sedan that I was like, I want that.
Yes.
That's incorrect because the flagship is an Acura RL, which stands for really lame.
Oh.
It, it just, it only came with the V6 around this time.
It did have the all-wheel drive and that kind of stuff.
I was looking at those when I was cross shopping the Infinity M45, but the guy that was kind,
the guy that pointed out, his name is Matt, that pointed out like, hey, have you ever
sent me about an M45 to me?
Like Matt sent me that and I was like, oh, shit.
And I was like, I was thinking about an RL and he was like, you will be bored out of
your mind.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think you could go, I think if you went older and went NSX and maybe Acura Legend.
Yeah.
And like Honda Passport, but then I don't know if they had like a JDM truck.
I don't think they did.
Maybe they made a K truck.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know enough about Honda truck from that era.
History.
Yeah.
So yeah, I know Honda's tough.
It is because I thought about Honda as well because obviously you start with Toyota
or I did, right?
And I was like, okay, so like let's go out like geographically.
Like who else was bringing it in Japan?
Who else?
Yeah.
Right?
I'm just kind of running from there.
Yeah.
That one's really, really hard.
It is.
And it's one of those ones that I feel is difficult because you like there's enough
there for you to keep thinking about like trying to make it work.
Right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's like I spent so much time on the Renault thing, like trying to make the
Renault thing work and it just doesn't.
Yes.
There's another Chevy one for you.
Oh yeah.
Okay.
We're going to have to put a moratorium on, on this for this show and start rolling
stuff to the next episode.
Yeah.
57 Chevrolet.
Yes.
Winning.
C1 Corvette.
I think I'm going to, I'm going to go ahead and say I think 63 is better.
Okay.
Okay.
For me, for me, I think because he's got the Riviera.
Yes.
And I think the C2 Corvette is the one you want, right?
Yes.
Well, I like the looks of the C1 myself more than the C2.
Yeah.
Interesting.
I think it's because it's more like Triumph bug-eyed Sprite, like that kind of.
Right.
Yeah.
Like it's more roadster than sports car feel to me.
Yeah.
More like post-war British thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, these are still rolling it.
So keep, keep sending them in people.
We'll do some more next show.
Can we close out with my other one that I made?
Yes.
Absolutely.
Yes.
Okay.
Yes.
I made one 1976 Nissan.
Oh.
Oh, I know nothing about this.
Okay.
Did you do a picture or should we pull this?
Yeah.
It's in the current show folder.
Oh, gosh.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Nissan 76.
Okay.
Oh.
Ian.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Oh, I think you might have, you might have, like this is the, like,
if you come to the game, you better not miss this.
You hit pretty hard with this one.
Okay.
So talk us through it, Ian.
Talk us through it.
Sedan.
Nissan resident.
Yeah.
Never got it in the US, but I mean, so cool.
Yeah.
Right.
And it's more than 25 years old now.
So just import it all you want.
And Dave, it has fender mirrors.
Fender mirrors means it's automatically cooler.
Yes.
Like the fact that two out of the four vehicles in this have
fender mirrors.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You go.
You've got a Datsun 620 pick them up truck.
Yep.
Yep.
One of the best looking little mini trucks ever and in this
yellow.
Come on.
Yes.
Yeah.
They were fantastic and they rusted into dust.
But it's not like the Toyota Tacoma has ever been
immune from rust.
Right.
Yeah.
Hello box frame rails.
We've got, I think it's the second generation Nissan
Patrol.
Yes.
Yeah.
Pretty, pretty rad.
It looks like a, looks like an old Land Rover because
everything looked like an old Land Rover at that point.
Yeah.
If you want, if you want a Land Rover that keeps
working, this is what you got.
Yeah.
Right.
Uh-huh.
And then we've got the Z.
Yeah.
This is a 280Z from 1976.
Oh, I love the Z so much.
Like 40, 60, 280.
I love them all.
And I think I like the two, even though like 280 was like
the worst when it came to like enthusiast stuff.
I like the looks of the 280.
The best man.
Yeah.
Oh, they're so gorgeous.
And have you ever heard that straight six, like with
straight pipes?
No.
It's on God's accepting.
Okay.
Okay.
So for me.
Uh-huh.
This is a four for four.
Like I would take all four of these over all four of the
98 Toyotas in a second.
I know you would.
I know you would.
Yeah.
Oh, I would not take the LX over the patrol or I would
not take the patrol over the LX.
Okay.
Yeah.
You need a little more comfort.
Yeah.
But I would take the president over the LS.
Oh, I would not.
Unseated the beloved.
This is the first sedan that's.
Yeah.
I guess no, the Riviera as well.
Yeah.
But it's not a sedan.
But I would take the Tacoma over the Datsun.
You would?
I would.
I would.
I know.
I know.
Okay.
Look at it.
Look how cute it is.
I know it's adorable.
And then I might take the Z over the Supra.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I got two.
Yeah.
No, you're looking at me like, yeah, you would, Dave.
Yeah.
Of course you would.
Because it's, yeah, obviously.
Ian, this is a great Mount Carmore, buddy.
Thank you.
Yeah.
All of them good.
Everyone who sent these in, who responded to the blue
sky thread and sent these in.
Absolutely.
Thank you so much.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you.
So this year for Chrysler.
Because I was really think I was like, oh, there's got to be one in there.
And no, I don't think there is.
Did Chrysler ever make a pickup truck?
What, what the Rams?
Oh, oh yeah.
Yeah.
Dodge Ram.
Okay.
Yeah.
Dodge, right?
Right.
Yes.
And then they, yeah, they own Jeep after 86 I think.
That's right.
Okay.
Yeah.
Oh boy.
Oh yeah.
I can tell you right now I'm not going to like any of the
I mean, this is a viper and all that, but like, right.
Right.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Okay.
Interesting.
Interesting.
All right.
This is a lot of fun.
I'm glad we're doing this.
It is.
It is.
I, let me check the Google voice because I think there was
something I was forgetting to mention.
Um, Google.com.
We're going there.
Okay.
Let me look real quick because, um, let's see here.
Yeah.
Uh, so, uh, remember your story about the rental car and how,
uh, one of our buddies, um, Zach, uh, their coworker found a
brick of meth, um, in a rental car.
Our buddy Johnny, when he was detailing cars, uh, had a
story about, uh, detailing a 2016 ish Chevy Silverado.
Okay.
Cleaning and conditioning the rear leather seat.
He sees a brown suction cup, like skin tone brown.
And so I moved the seat.
This is what he takes it.
So I moved the seat and behold, a 12 inch dildo.
Once the customer had arrived, I informed him that he,
that I found a brown dagger in the trunk customer was confused.
So I opened the rear down, uh, revealing his brown friend.
That's not mine.
That's not mine.
He said, I told him, I don't judge.
I just clean.
And then he asked if I could throw it away.
Oh my God.
Yep.
Zach, Zach also did verify that they did find mounds of dildos
in rental cars as well.
Yep.
Yep.
You don't want to take it through TSA.
You leave it for the rental agents to do it, to deal with it.
Dick move, literal dick move.
Yeah.
Right.
No.
You throw it away.
You put it in the Arby's bag that you were hiding it in to begin with.
Right.
You stick it.
You stick it.
Use the suction company.
Stick it to the window of the rental car shovel.
Shuttle.
Yes.
That's what I do.
So it sits down to do the word all it's like,
it's like tapping about the shoulder.
Oh, you're sticking on the inside.
I was thinking on the outside.
Oh, now on the inside.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It goes over a bum.
It's just the same kind of charitable thing that like when I used to play tennis all
the time, we, you know, typically have a fresh can of balls.
We would leave them on the court when we left, you know, for kids, right?
Mm-hmm.
You know?
Yeah.
And same thing.
Same charitable effort.
Right.
You're just thinking about the person after you.
Exactly.
Exactly.
I love it.
So that, yeah.
Thank you, Johnny.
Thank you, Zach.
Absolutely.
For that.
Um, we went long.
Should we wrap it up with a, uh...
Yeah.
We're saving my license plate game for another show.
Yes.
Okay.
But I do want to take a moment before your album of the week.
Definitely need to hear it.
But, uh, I want to, I want to pour one out for our buddy, Eric, who sent in the 2006 Ford
Premier Auto Group.
Unfortunately, the transmission, the CVT in his very, very nice Honda Accord went out
and he's going to be moving on to another vehicle.
And that was featured in, uh, show us your cars, right?
It was.
It was in our show us your cars, uh, last year.
And I think that, so, RIP, Eric, you know, that was a great accord.
And so, sorry, and we're excited about what comes next for you.
And, uh, I'd love to throw out there that at the end of the year, Ian and I love doing
a show us your car special.
So, now, you know, whenever please send us your pictures of your car, tell us
about it and we will put it in our year in special.
Yes.
Yeah.
Apex is Jason at gmail.com.
We already have two that I missed for last year.
Those are the first two that we're talking about this coming holiday season.
Yeah.
So, we'd like to do that at the end of the year and we'll put a deadline out there
like sometime mid-December.
But, you know, I, we can't get this out there enough.
We love seeing your cars, you know.
Yeah.
Show us your cars and we'll put them in the special at the end of the year.
Show us your cars and then do your Christmas shopping.
Yes.
Exactly.
Yes.
And then when you travel, leave your dildos.
Okay.
So, there we go.
Um, okay.
So, last week we did weirdo, uh, African, uh, electronic music.
Yes.
And this week we are doing, um, uh, uh, some music from Brazil.
Oh, okay.
So, from 1972, Louise Henrique.
Henrique?
Is it L-U-I-S?
L-U-I-Z.
Oh, okay.
Henrique H-E-N-R-I-Q-U-E.
Okay.
Um, and it is, yeah, it is mestico.
Okay.
Um, I, so school is back in session.
Yeah.
And so to celebrate, my wife and I went to, there's this little place in Denver, um, that does,
it's like a bar that does, that is like a vinyl bar.
Oh, okay.
Um, but on Sundays and Mondays, on Mondays, they do a thing like for lunchtime, where they
play all like chill, quiet music and do like coffee and tea and that sort of stuff.
Nice.
And so they were playing a bunch of different like kind of ambient stuff and, you know,
it's all really good, all really cool.
And then they put this on and by the time the first song was done, I had added it to my
carton, just guys.
Because I was just like, oh, it was like immediately like, this is, this is for me.
Yep.
I need this.
Yep.
And Jenny was like, are you serious right now?
I was like, yeah.
Yeah.
And I was like, I'm sorry, it has to be done.
It's good music.
So yeah, I bought a reissue of this.
Okay.
Before the first song was over.
That's awesome.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
It's really cool.
It's like, you know, very Brazilian like Samba type stuff and it's great.
Nice.
Okay.
Yeah.
Luis Henrique Mestico.
Yep.
Yeah.
Links in the YouTube description for Apple Music and Spotify for sure.
Nice Ian.
I'm going to put this on.
So I have to say this is probably the best mustache to grace an Ian album of the week cover.
I think that's true.
Look at that.
The yellow mustache.
Well, and also the chest hair is putting in some work.
I thought that was an undershirt at first.
No.
No.
That is Tom Selick level.
Yeah.
Heat that Luis is bringing on that.
Absolutely.
Illustrated cover of this.
I like that.
It's like, this is a drawing.
We can make it what we want.
Oh, no.
Like we're adding that.
Putting it in.
Okay.
Nice dude.
I will definitely check that out.
Right on.
Dave, we gone did a car show.
Oh, we did one hell of a car show.
Yeah.
Mount Carmore Rain Supreme.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a good one.
Everybody, if you have things to contribute license plates, Mount Carmores, whatever, 720-515-1391.
Did I get that?
Right?
I think I did.
You did.
Apex is Jason at Gmail.
Everybody.
Thank you.
We love you.
Goodbye.
About this episode
A lively discussion unfolds as hosts Ian and Dave engage in playful impressions of each other, sparked by a listener's comment about their voices not matching their appearances. The conversation quickly shifts to the concept of 'Mount Carmore,' where they explore the best automotive lineups from various years. They debate entries from manufacturers like Toyota, Nissan, and GM, analyzing which cars would make the ultimate lineup based on desirability and performance. The episode is filled with humor, nostalgia, and insightful commentary on automotive history.
This week we continue our discussion to see if anyone or anything can dethrone the absolute blistering lineup that Toyota/Lexus brought circa 1998. We love you!
