Car covers are covers you put over a car when it’s parked. They help keep the paint and interior cleaner and protected from things like dust and weather.
The Ford Mustang is a sports car made by Ford, usually as a coupe or convertible. People talk about it a lot because it’s been around for a long time and comes in many different versions. It’s often mentioned when discussing famous classic American cars.
The Shelby GT500 is a more powerful version of the Ford Mustang. It was made to go faster and feel more performance-oriented than regular Mustangs. It’s also a well-known classic, which is why people often restore and talk about specific years.
“Small block” means a particular kind of V8 engine that’s physically smaller than the big, heavy versions. It helps enthusiasts know what engine family you’re talking about.
Roush is a company that makes performance parts and upgrades for cars. Mentioning “Roush” here means the engine is built or set up by that performance shop.
“Down draft” means the carburetors are set up so the air/fuel mixture goes downward into the engine. It’s a specific carb layout, not just a general performance description.
Fuel injection is how modern engines deliver fuel using sensors and a computer. Here, they’re saying it behaves like injection, even though it looks like the older carburetor style.
Carburetors are older-style parts that mix fuel with air for the engine. They’re mentioned because the engine setup is made to look like that classic hardware.
This is a 1980s Ferrari that’s meant for comfortable long drives. The speaker is saying their family’s Ferrari 400i has been cared for recently—like getting the engine refreshed and the paint corrected—so it looks and runs better than it used to.
That phrase usually means the engine was gone through and repaired or rebuilt parts were replaced so it runs better and more reliably. It’s more than just routine maintenance.
Paint correction is when someone polishes the car’s paint to remove small scratches and dull spots. It makes the paint look cleaner and shinier without painting the car again.
When someone says a tire is “bald,” it means the tread is worn down a lot. That makes the tire grip worse and can make braking less effective, especially when roads are wet.
Michelin TRX tires are a special kind of tire that fits a specific older rim size. Because it’s not the common tire size, replacements can be tough to find and cost more. They’re basically saying, “Yep—those are the special Michelin TRX tires.”

Term
dual suspension in the back
This means the rear of the car has a more complex suspension arrangement than a simple one. The goal is to help the car stay stable and ride smoothly, especially when the car is loaded.
The Corvette Stingray is a sporty version of the Chevrolet Corvette. Here it’s just mentioned as the car he originally wanted before choosing something else.
This is a specific generation of the Porsche 911 from the 1990s. The hosts are talking about how the car feels tight inside and how the pedal setup is a little unusual. They also bring up that it’s a turbo version, which matters for how the car is built and what it’s worth.
A turbo is a device that helps the engine make more power by pushing extra air into it. More power usually means more interest from buyers. Here, they’re saying the turbo versions are getting more valuable over time.
On Porsche 911s, “S” typically refers to a higher-trim model within a given generation, usually with a more powerful engine than the base Carrera. In this segment, they clarify that the car is a turbo, not an “S,” which matters because turbo models and “S” models are different in performance and collector value. The listener should treat “S” as a specific model designation, not just a generic “sport” label.
A rear wing is the spoiler on the back of the car. It’s there to help the car stick to the road at higher speeds, and different versions can have different wing shapes.
Fender intakes are openings in the car’s body that let air in. They often help cool important parts, and on performance cars they can also be a clue about which version you’re looking at.
Porsche Turbo S is a stronger, more special version of the 911 Turbo. The host is saying the Turbo S looks like what you’d expect from a Turbo, compared to the car they were confused about.
An aftermarket stereo is a non-factory audio system installed in the car. It can look different from the original, so people sometimes swap it for something that looks more stock.
A rat rod is a car that looks intentionally rough and worn, instead of being fully restored. The host is saying the Ferrari looks so beat up that it fits that “rat rod” vibe.
The Testarossa is a very high-end sports car made by Ferrari. It’s known for its bold, recognizable look and strong performance. People may bring up specific examples because the condition of these cars can vary a lot.
Brake lines are the tubes that move brake fluid to the brakes. During a repair, if the lines get tangled or mixed up, it’s easy to lose track of where each one goes.
A “flat floor” means the inside floor is level from front to back. That makes it easier to move around, load things, and carry people without stepping over bumps.
“Headroom” is how much space you have above your head inside the vehicle. “High headroom” means taller people can sit or stand more comfortably and you can move around more easily.
An “industrial motor” is an engine built for heavy, everyday work—like long hours and lots of use. It’s not mainly designed to feel sporty; it’s designed to last.
A “million mile motor” is just a way of saying the engine is known for lasting a very, very long time—around a million miles. It usually means it’s built tough and can handle lots of wear if maintained.
A manifold is a set of passages that directs air (or exhaust) to the engine. If you’re adding a turbo, the manifold often has to be changed so everything lines up correctly.
Naturally aspirated means the engine pulls in air by itself, without a turbo or supercharger pushing extra air in. A turbo is one way to boost power beyond that baseline.
The Mini Cooper is a small British car that’s famous for feeling nimble and fun to drive. People also like them because they’re popular for modifications and collecting.
A three-wheeler is a vehicle that has three wheels instead of two. It’s usually smaller and more like a motorcycle than a typical car. People talk about them because they drive differently and stand out visually.
Car
Morgan three wheeler
The Morgan three-wheeler is a quirky British vehicle with three wheels instead of four. It’s known for being a fun, unusual collectible rather than a typical car.
“Tuck and roll” is a traditional seat-cover style with stitched pleats and padded sections that give the seats a classic look. They’re saying the seats aren’t exactly that, but they have a similar kind of pattern.

I, you know, I don't know.
I'm working from my closet in my mother's basement.
Yes.

Okay, we're back.
Man, that was quite the duel, the fan duel.
You know, we've, we've been down a man the past couple of weeks, it seems like.
I know.
He's always been gone.
Not to point fingers, but Aaron.
But it's good.
I assume you've been.
It's good that he's been gone.
No, because what I'm saying, you've been, you've been out, you've been busy.
We saw, we, you know, you follow your dad on social media and he's going to be going out.
I think he's going to St. Louis.
Yep.
St. Louis, Saturday will be the first show of the tour.
He's getting the crew together and doing rehearsals up there at the, at the studio where you guys are, where you keep the cars and you kind of look over the property and stuff.
So I'm sure there must be a nice opportunity to maybe go and watch and hang out with dad and grab a lunch or something.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
In fact, I could do the whole show on this.
If you like guys, there's a lot going on.
Well, feel free.
Yeah, there's not a lot going on in the car world.
So yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
No, it's been an exciting couple of weeks.
So, so we're in the final 10 days before we, before we list our house.
So, so we are just on fire, running around, trying to, I got a million holes patched.
We got to do yard work.
I mean, it's a tall order.
Right.
So, so in the month, all of this dad goes, Hey, I'm doing, you know, two days in rehearsal.
You know, I don't know what car I want to drive, you know, that, that make sure everything's, you know, go, can you go shopping at the house, you know, so, so I go down the hill.
So I'm just going to take a load.
So I pack everything I can into the trailer and just take a load down and, and, and drop it off at the hangar and then go to his house and yeah, just pack up some groceries.
He wanted certain cars up at the house because I had all the cars down at the warehouse so I could service them and work on them.
So I brought some cars up to the house and just made sure everything was tidy.
And then, yeah, he showed up for rehearsal.
So, so he was there, Joe was there, Mikey was there and, and, and Kenny was there too.
So it was, and then dad's got a new keyboard player.
I forget his name.
I'm so sorry.
British guy, really, really cool.
He's, he lives in Florida.
Really, really a fun guy.
He's twice as old as I thought he was, huh?
Is it Henry?
No, we're just going to call him Henry.
Oh, okay.
I think it does start over the age.
Anyway, really, really, really great guy, lots of energy, great vocalist, great keyboard player.
So he's going to be a nice addition.
The band was really, really happy with him.
But yeah, and then dad, I guess it's okay to say it.
But Brad, I called you about this because, because I was a little off on the back story.
But dad bought a little Porsche turbo back in the day.
I think it was what, it was a 95 or 94, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And he bought it back.
So a gentleman locally bought it and he was getting elderly and, and I guess he couldn't get in and out of it very well.
And he said, Hey, I have Sammy's old car.
He called the office.
He says, I have Sammy's old car.
Maybe, you know, does he want it back?
It's a cool little car.
And it's all got less than 50,000 miles on it.
And it's damn near mint condition.
And dad's like, Oh, hell yeah.
So dad bought his little Porsche back.
So we presented that to him.
I hadn't even driven it yet.
It was at the warehouse it was delivered.
So he was just so excited about that little car.
And yeah, there's, there's, there's good.
Got some more car covers from our buddies at hero covers.
So we covered the little 308.
We covered his, his gateway Mustang.
So that was pretty cool.
And, and yeah, there's just, just not little sparks flying everywhere.
And, you know, just exciting.
But yeah, or flying.
I saw that.
Yeah.
So you covered the gateway Mustang.
And I don't know why I thought that was one that got sold at
Barrett Jackson.
Everybody.
I've been getting tons of messages.
So that's the video car.
Yeah.
So dad had an original 68 GT 500,
which mom go bucky and helped restore back in the day.
And, and he sold that at Barrett Jackson.
Brad, right?
Like 250.
Did you help them?
I helped them sell it.
We, we got it out.
We got it all freshened up and,
but left a lot of the patina.
So it looked like the video.
And man, I remember what I remember the most about that was,
um, we wanted to show the video people in the crowd.
And we had to go through all kinds of clearances and stuff,
even though it's your dad's video.
It was a video with the car in it.
And, and, and so, you know, it just hadn't made a little flash in it.
And, but then, um, he had just that together,
the timing on this Cabo Wabo had just launched recently
and Cabo Wabo Tequila.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
And, um, so, um, that was when I was selling Mikey and I were selling
seven cars and, um, and, and your dad wanted to come in on it.
And he came to Barrett Jackson with us and we were doing the guitars
with each one of the matching guitars we did with each of our cars.
Hi.
Yeah.
And I told him, I said, I said,
you should put a case of that Cabo Wabo Tequila in the back.
And he did.
And it, he, I think he got an extra 50 grand out of it because,
you know,
because you're up there on the block and you go,
and I'm going to throw in a case of Mike Cabo Wabo Tequila.
And everybody went and the bidding went again.
And, and yeah, you got like quarter million bucks for that car.
Well, which I think was by far,
Nebraska.
Oh yeah.
It was a lot for the time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it went to Nebraska.
It got resold.
It didn't do as well then it got resold again.
Anyway,
it turns out that a local guy down near Sacramento,
um,
bought it.
And it now lives down there and commissioned me to do a painting of
it.
Uh, I don't know how many years ago now five or six years ago.
Um, but yeah,
that beautiful big farm estate winery and,
and he has it in part of his collection.
Uh, very, very proud of it.
So, uh, which was pretty cool.
It was neat to see it again.
And to bring it all the way back around the reason people get them
confused.
And I think, you know, Aaron is because, um,
when your dad had that car built a gateway,
it was kind of like a,
a newer version of that same car.
So it very much looks like a TT 500.
Yeah.
Uh, it's a Dynacorn body.
It's a Roush small block four 27.
Um, it's got a beautiful eight pack.
Right.
You call it just, just 88 down draft.
Oh, I thought you were talking about me with the eight pack.
They're, they're, they're a feel injection,
but it looks like old carburetors.
I mean,
the engine is, is almost more beautiful than the car.
But, uh, yeah.
Yeah.
The children's did a big or children's, uh,
did a beautiful, beautiful job on that car.
And, uh, yeah,
I'm actually going to send them to the show in St. Louis this week.
Again, cause they're out of St. Louis.
Uh, so, so they contacted and said, Hey,
can we go to the show?
And one of the few exceptions that dad helps helps helps the brother out.
You know, nowadays there's,
I don't think there's any meet and greet in this tour, you know, dad,
dad, dad doesn't really do a guest list. So, you know,
when people start calling me, it's, it's like, ah, sorry, but I asked dad,
I said, we got to take care of them. Come on.
Yeah. I mean, listen, I mean,
but everybody in the band has been doing it for so long.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
You know, like they've kind of earned it.
Like they don't have to necessarily have to like,
absolutely.
And have guest lists and meet and greets when they were, you know,
like a little tired, you know,
just want to do the show and have a good time.
Exactly. And, and speaking of the show, man,
I got to say they only had two days rehearsal and they nailed it on the
first day. I mean, I mean, they ran through the set list and didn't
have to like go over anything.
I mean, the keyboard player came prepared and I was going to say,
was he nervous? Was he kind of like, I don't know what to do.
I didn't know. I don't know.
So I don't know if he's nervous or not, you know?
Yeah. He was, he did really well. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. So, you know, he was, he was playing some of the chords a little
short, you know, like conservatively, which was expected.
But yeah, Dad and I reviewed some of the footage I shot and we heard a
couple of things and added, added to the musicality of it all, you know,
to the arrangement. But next day, I think I got there a little late the
next day and it was already over. And he goes, oh yeah, man,
we ran through it like fast today.
That's a good sign. Exactly. And he's like, we're ready to go.
Like they didn't even eat lunch. They just boom.
If your dad was happy with it, if your dad was happy with it, then good.
Absolutely. And Dad doesn't like to rehearse, but he was doing it.
His voice held up. First day, he was like, I don't want, I don't want to
over sing and out my voice. I won't be able to sing tomorrow.
He came in the next day just belting it right out.
He's like, well, okay, voice is good.
Like he's, he's all fired up because he's excited, you know?
He's, he's been sitting around watching Turtles and Maui for a while.
Yeah. What scared me was his video of chopping the coconuts in half.
I said, I left him a, a comment. I said, dude,
that looks dangerous. Don't chop your foot off. You know, don't chop it off.
I'm telling you, every time he posts cutting up coconuts or God forbid
my sister's involved, my sister came as involved too.
I just stopped watching. I didn't watch that whole thing, Brad.
Honestly, God, I watched about two seconds of it and I went, oh hell.
It was like, no. Yeah, there's enough stress in my life right now.
I'm not going to watch this too.
Okay. So, so now I'm curious.
Dad comes out there says, grab a couple cars. What do you get?
What do you, what do you take out of the warehouse and bring up to the house for him?
Cause I saw the video with one of them.
Right, right. So I also took the 400 up for him.
Okay. So you got the Ferrari, the 400.
The Ferrari, the 84 Ferrari 400 I, which he has found a new love,
which I really, really am excited about that. You know,
84 is my birth, my brother's birth year. So which just had a birthday the other day,
by the way, or a few days ago last week, but yeah, so, so that,
that car is kind of sentimental and that was our family car. You know, there's,
there's indentations in the leather in the back seat where, where he put the car seats.
You know, I mean, not mine, but, but my brother's and, and my two sisters,
you know, both grew up driving in that car. So it really,
it really was the family car growing up for me as well.
I used to drive it in, you know, in high school and such as a great history,
but he had the engine freshened up recently.
I did a paint correction, buff the whole thing out, finished its servicing
and had a few little quirky things. So I had those repaired and tightened up for him.
I put the phone back in it and had the old Motorola phone,
but the cord was all coming apart. So I just cut the cord.
I figured I could open it up and replace the core, but I just cut the cord on it and,
and, and, and put the phone back in there, which he was cracking up.
And I cleaned the windows like you wouldn't believe how grimy the inside of those windows were.
Oh, I'm sure.
Freshened up the leather, just conditioned it all and really had it ready for him.
And then he finally let me put new tires on something.
I had new tires, a TRX tire, right? TRX, TRX tires.
I have no idea.
I don't know. TRX is the Ram truck.
TRX. No, no, I think they are TRX tires from Michelin.
Anyway, there's a Ferrari style pattern tire, which they only make production so often.
They're kind of hard to get. They're pretty expensive, but we put those stock style tires back on
and he was bitching and Mona didn't want to spend the money.
I don't drive the car enough and I'm like, dad, they're literally going bald.
And they're like, they're like 30 years old.
Like we got to put tires on this thing.
And so, and so he drives it down the hill and he goes, all right, all right.
He goes, I got to say it does drive smoother. It does drive quieter.
It grips a lot better. He goes, new tires are amazing.
I said, see, I don't have to be right, but see.
And it is a Michelin TRX.
Oh, TRX. Oh, it is. Okay. Okay. So it is a TRX. Thank you, Brad.
But yeah, anyway, so, so, uh, yeah, yeah.
And, and, and Enrico Teni, Alex, his son and all that have been doing the servicing out of Sonoma.
They were literally six minutes from, from the house we were renting there.
So it was really nice to spend time with them.
Now, after, after the paint correction, that car did look stunning.
Yeah, I got to say, I always liked those 400 eyes, right?
Yeah, they were just always kind of cool, you know, they really are.
This one's automatic. So, you know, it's definitely, it's definitely kind of a turd.
Like he was saying, man, it's not fast, but it just drives so nice.
And it really does. And they have strange suspension.
They have like a dual suspension in the back and they compensate for weight.
And when you start the car, it almost airs up a little bit.
It's, it's really like it's, it's far out, but it's a great driver.
It's just smooth and it's like a family touring car.
Really, really nice. So he has no appreciation for that.
He drove that for a couple of days and then he originally wanted a 67 Corvette Stingray up there.
And then when he bought the Porsche, which he did kind of sporadically,
we ended up having the Porsche up there too.
But, but yeah, the Porsche is, the Porsche is cool.
It's small, like, like we have a 992, which is, you know, what,
six or eight inches bigger on every side.
It fits four people. We know that.
Yeah, it fits four people.
Exactly. Yes.
I mean, not well, but it does.
And we know it fits three because Misha sat in the back while my mom sat in the front
when I took the girls to Carmel with it.
But, but the 993 is small, man. It's compact.
Like when you're in there, you're like, well, I forgot these,
these original style Porsches are small.
Yeah. But it's cool.
You know, the pedals come from the bottom.
So he was like, yeah, the pedals are all weird.
I said, well, because they pivot from the bottom, not from the top.
Right. They don't hang.
Yeah. They don't hang. I said, it's a little weird, but, but it's good.
And it has a little bit more of a Volkswagen.
He kind of, you know, has that rattling kind of sound to it.
I could tell when he came down the hill, I could hear it.
That was laughing like, oh, here he comes.
You said it's a turbo.
Yeah. It's a turbo. It's not an S.
I didn't get to break it to him.
I think he thought it was an S because he was like, yeah,
I can't believe how valuable these things are.
I'm getting it for like half the price.
I'm like, oh, I don't want to tell you, but yeah,
the turbos have gotten out there and they're going to get up there.
And I think if he keeps it for three to five years,
it will meet the price he thinks it's worth.
But I think, and when he talked to Craig about it,
I think they were thinking it was an S and I'm like, nah,
it doesn't have the port, holes,
doesn't have the yellow calipers.
I said, nah, it's a, you know, like, like the rear wing,
that's the first thing that I noticed were the,
it didn't have the intakes on the fenders and that rear wing.
The wing with the little intakes on it. I think it's the S wing.
It didn't have the little side intakes on the wing.
Got those little holes in them. Yeah.
Exactly. I'm like, something's weird about this car.
I mean, yeah.
So when you leave it out, they did that.
So birds could live in there.
Yeah, but it is strange because I mean, a turbo nowadays,
a turbo is just a high spec, you know, whatever,
but the turbo always had the rear scoops and the fenders.
So I was really confused when I saw it and it didn't have the scoops.
I'm like, no, it is a twin turbo.
And I had to look it up.
I'm not as familiar with that era of Porsches.
And I had to look it up and I went, oh man, so there was a turbo.
Then there was a turbo S and the turbo S looks like the expectation
of what the turbos were.
So, but great little car.
It's that liquid silver.
It just, it just looks like, so good.
There's no PPF on the car, which I'm just like brain going crazy,
but the paints in really good shape.
The guy that wheels polished, it's lowered a little bit.
It has an aftermarket stereo.
So I have to fix that for him.
But other than that, man, it's a nice clean little car.
Didn't you say it's an Alpine with an eight track?
Yeah, right.
No, no, it has a more contemporary head unit in it.
And I didn't see the factory one in there,
but there's a really nice OEM looking head unit that you can get.
They're kind of expensive.
It's expensive.
Yeah.
It's cool.
But it has a little window in its car play.
So I might, he said, no, I might just do it.
Just, you know, he's like, no, don't, don't paint the wheels silver again.
I'm like, they need to be silver.
This car is so unmolested.
Like let's get it back to original.
It's worth more original because those are lame.
No one wants polished wheels and no one wants a jive stereo, you know,
and an original and an otherwise all original car.
I mean, it has, it has his original paperwork.
It doesn't have the window sticker that I could find,
but I, but I found the original, not receiving sheet,
but, but, you know, when, when, when he took the car,
it's got that paperwork in it still, which was pretty cool.
You know, it literally is an original documented car.
So it needs to stay that way, you know, right?
Right.
Yeah.
That's a cool, that's cool.
Yeah.
I mean, there, it's going to always going to be worth more if it's,
you know, more original.
I mean, exactly.
Those cars don't lend themselves to being hot-rodded, you know.
Exactly.
And if it's just those two things, I mean, lowering it makes sense
because everybody can complain about it.
Even Doug DeMiro complained about it, but cause, cause he,
he bought one not too long ago too.
He bought an all original same, same year.
I think in that, in that weirdy, orangey metallic red orange that,
that, that they, or it's kind of a maroon.
I think it came in on the ads.
He wanted that version, but I watched his whole, you know,
I got to do the deep dive on YouTube with these cars because I'm not as
familiar with them.
Hit before, whenever dad gets something, I have to go YouTube it.
So I know all the quirks.
Dad's like, I can't get it to start.
I'm like, no, you got to put the key in the ignition, turn to the first set,
and then, and then push the button on the key fob.
He kept pushing the button on the, on the key.
And I'm like, no, that's the light.
And he goes, there's no light.
I'm like, oh, then the battery's dead, but he couldn't get the car to start.
He was so frustrated.
It's like, they got, they got quirks and features, you know?
You're like, what are you yelling at me for?
I didn't build the car.
No, he wasn't yelling.
He was building the car.
I didn't buy the car.
You're like, what the hell, man?
Like, I don't know.
Did you used to drive this thing?
I know.
Well, come on.
Yeah.
I'm glad he's got it.
That's something.
Yeah.
Me too.
Like, like how often do you buy, how often do you get to buy something that you bought
new and owned and ordered from the factory?
Like, how often do you get to own that again 30 years later?
I mean, how cool is that?
I got to be honest with you.
If the guy called me with that black suburban that I had, I wouldn't buy it back.
Well, something of significance that.
Oh, oh, like that old taper, Brad, you know, if, if, if he had the opportunity to buy
that teabird back, you know, the fancy one that you did for.
Yeah.
Or, or, or if the guy from Japan called me that as my, my little Mercedes with the shaved
door handles and the billet custom billet front end.
Right.
Right.
Exactly.
Okay.
So, so, so, so here's, here's the photo of the delivery, the customer delivery program.
So dad received that car June 23rd, 1995.
Wow.
Right.
They had his social security number on there.
But how about that June 23rd, 1995?
So he, he, he, he got it.
He drove it again in June, you know, of 2026.
So how cool was that?
That, I mean, that's, that is cool that he was able to, and that the guy thought to
give him a call and see if he wanted it because he could have just said, nah, I'm not interested.
But, you know, it was one that he wanted.
That's cool.
Yeah, exactly.
So I was really excited.
It's got 50,220 miles.
Yeah.
So, you know, I said something about it.
So security number made me think of, do you realize, you know how today, so security
number is like you guard it with your life.
You don't, you know, you don't show it to anybody.
Right.
Is recently is 1995, which I know that's a ways back, but it's doesn't seem that far
or longer ago.
Social security number was on everything.
I was going through some records that I was going to have shredded and I was like, all
my pay stubs had my social security number on them.
But then stuff that my health insurance with every piece, every mailing from my health
insurance had my social security number on.
I'm like, I was just going to throw those away.
Like, you know, yeah, they're old bills.
And I was like, God, I'm glad I didn't do that.
Right.
Well, you had mentioned on the last show we did together that used to put it on your
parts.
Yeah.
We used to write it on our parts or they used the police used to say, you know, put it
on the back of your stereo equipment.
Exactly.
Yeah.
So that if it's ever stolen, we can trace it back to you.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Oh my God.
So steal your identity, you know.
I mean, back before this digital world we live in, but it was so much, complicated
to do sort of an identity theft like it's just everywhere now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which is really trippy.
Yeah.
Anyway, there's lots of other car news.
Oh, keep going.
Now we're going to take a quick break first.
We're going to take a break first.
We're coming up on that time.
No, we don't.

Let's just roll over.
All right.

Hey, we're back.
He's got more tales to tell and I do.
I'll try to keep these short, but these are actually really good.
Okay.
So, so, you know, YouTube is my television channel and I own YouTube.
That's yours.
No, no, no, it's that's that's your favorite choice that I turned to and and so I don't
know.
Right in Britain in the UK.
So Scott, I reached out to him ages ago when he's because he has a right hand drive white
Ferrari BBI 512 right and this thing was covered in moss and like in it was just sitting outside
as someone's estate there or someone's house and you know that that's his whole thing.
If you look up ratarosa, he has a convertible testarosa that's literally half the paints
gone and it's just a total rat rod and that and that kind of got him started.
Well, since then he buys up all these Ferraris that nobody would want.
That's kind of his thing and he repairs and restores them and drives them and flips some
of them, but he picked up this BBI quite a few years ago and it's been a long, long,
long journey, but I was watching an episode several months ago, like maybe six months
ago and and he was working on it and he was struggling to find references because a lot
of them had been restored.
He has a buddy that has one, but it's had a bunch of different owners and it's gone through
a lot of hands.
So it's not exactly reliably original.
And I thought, well, you know what, we have a lot of mutual friends.
I'll message him on Instagram and see if I can help with anything because, you know, dad's
got a completely pretty much original, unmolested, single owner, well maintained one.
So I reached out to him and he's like, oh my God, man, this is great.
You know, yeah, I'm putting the brakes together right now and I have just a spaghetti of brake
lines and just things I don't even know where to start and some of my footage got, you know,
mishandled or whatever.
So I can't make reference to it.
Which way do the curly cues go and where's this bracket go.
So I was going to the warehouse and every time I went there I'd have a little list from him
and I documented as much as I could get to without jacking it up and taking the wheel
off and, you know, offered my assistance.
So anyway, he just posted the video a couple of videos ago now.
It was a couple of weeks ago.
So if you go to his YouTube, Radarosa and look, yeah, it's real fun.
He put a whole...
Now I shot it vertically because I was just sending him the information from my phone
and, you know, I'm at the age now where I just shoot everything, you know, vertically.
And so I felt really bad because when YouTube hit, you know, you get these stupid little
vertical screen, but it's nice because it's separate from his content.
But yeah, he posted almost all of it.
I saw it.
Yeah, it was good.
It's really fun.
It's really nice and it's just two buddies going to the garage, you know, trying to answer
some questions.
But yeah, if you go to YouTube and go to Radarosa, you can see that update.
Little Pesto makes his little appearance because he was there with me that day.
But yeah, it's super fun.
It's nice that the community of YouTube, you know, these become our TV stars and our TV
celebrities and people that we look up to.
And they've been making a big presence at SEMA in the last couple of years.
And it's amazing how big the lines are for these YouTube guys.
And I think as we've discussed in the past, you know, these guys are just working out
of their shed or out of their garage or out of their shop.
And they don't always know, other than on paper, that they've got this huge audience
and they don't expect to be recognized.
They're not conditioned for it.
So it's kind of awkward.
So yeah, it's nice to be able to reach out to someone overseas, you know, with some
mutual friends and just go, hey, you know, if I can be of any help, let me know.
And then you're part of that journey.
And it's really flattering and it's a really neat world we live in from that perspective,
right?
Yeah.
It's not the first time I've done that.
And it's great that it worked out.
You weren't able to send them information and go, oh, yeah, that was super helpful.
Yeah.
Plus I thought it might be a good addition to his channel to kind of give it a little
extra spark.
And he did.
He used it.
I'm having trouble with the car, so I reached out to a rock star.
It was good.
I wish dad was there because it would have been really fun for dad and I to go through
it.
But at least I could share, you know, and now it just would have been funny with their
dad in the background, just like, don't film me.
I'm not good on camera.
Okay.
Move along.
Don't get the back side.
The last thing I want is attention.
From above, not from below.
I brought a coconut to cut in half.
Let's do that instead.
Oh, speaking of which, man, pop looks great.
He's, uh, he's cut some weight.
And he's been, he's been really healthy lately getting ready for this tour.
So it's, uh, it's, it's, it's impressive.
Yeah.
He'll be 79 this October and he looks really good.
Like he's fit.
Pretty cool.
That's good.
Yeah.
It's really, it's really disheartening when you see Sam and he looks like he's in better
shape.
Like, well, it's kind of equally as disheartening when you're sitting by the jacuzzi and he's
going, yeah, you know, you might want to, you know, get a little healthier.
Oh, you know, I mean, it's like, I'm going, do I look that bad?
It's just the lighting dad.
It's just the light.
Well, what do you mean?
You need to get your eyes fixed.
Your eyes are bad right now.
I look great.
The worst is when you're at the hotel pool and somebody walks up and goes, Sam, can I
meet your older brother here?
Yeah.
That would be the worst.
That would be the worst.
Come on.
Oh, my God.
All right.
And then I was going to say, lastly, I got one more.
I was just going to say, do you have another one?
That's what he's going to do.
So, so lastly, I'm, I'm, I'm watching, I'm watching YouTube and I'm watching Freddie,
you know, Tavaresh and he's got a London cab and I, it took me about six minutes through
it.
One of those new rules, Royce, you mean?
No.
One of the original old classic London cabs, right?
Like one of the old FX fours.
And, and so I, I, I messaged him like Freddie, I'm watching the cab.
What do you, that cab is awesome.
I've always wanted one.
And he writes back, you want it?
Oh boy.
Yes.
What's the story?
So, so I, yeah.
So I bought a, I bought a London cab from Freddie.
Oh, did you?
I got it.
I got it.
He's so cool, man.
He's like, okay, I'm going through it.
I put a new stereo in it.
I'm fixing the AC, you know, it has front rear ACs.
They're separate.
Turned out the dryer and I replaced the drive.
Like he, cause I mentioned, I said, wouldn't it be fun?
Cause he kept talking about driving it across the country.
I said, wouldn't it be fun if I fly out there and drive it back?
Like, like, I'm totally willing to do it.
And he's like, you don't want to do that, man.
This thing's so slow.
I'm like, yeah, just, but it'll be fun.
Like it'll be funny.
It'll be fun for the first 10 hours.
And so I think he's kind of prepping it like, like as if I might drive it.
So I got to say, thank you Freddie and all your boys there. Cause.
Yeah.
Yeah. He's, he's going through everything on that car.
I mean, they buffed it. They cleaned it.
I mean, it's, it's, it's as good as it could be.
And low miles.
Two questions.
Yeah. Questions.
Why?
Why the hell do you want it?
I mean, you're going to put Rolls Royce things.
So people think it's one of the Rolls Royce SUVs, don't you?
What do they call them?
Yeah.
The colon.
The colon.
Which I just look at that thing and I go, it looks just like,
why would you buy a black one?
It looks like a, like a taxi cab from London.
Well, it's funny. I have that history as a kid too. You know,
dad's, dad's first three or four albums he recorded in London.
And so I kind of grew up there in my younger years and,
and that, that as soon as I heard that thing fire up,
it's like just music to my ears, just flooded with memories.
And I can only imagine the way it smells too. Well, in a good way,
the way it smells.
It's clean.
It'd be better to take your wife on a trip to London and go for a couple of
rides.
Exactly.
But I thought, you know, my collection, I'll call it a collection.
It's all kind of British bikes and cars. And,
and I thought, like, what else, you know, British would, would just be,
I mean, I can't afford a Spitfire, like a real airplane Spitfire.
But I mean, like, what else would you add that would be novel?
That would be really cool.
I mean, it's got some room in it.
So like, if you want to just grab some people and run down the hill or
something or just like cruising a tail real quick.
They're really roomy.
They have a completely flat floor and a high, you know, a high headroom,
but they're really roomy.
And anyway, it was dirt cheap.
I mean, it was really affordable. Thank you, Freddie.
And, and I thought, why not?
So I'm really excited.
They're, you know, they have a little Nissan 2.7 liter four cylinder diesel
in them.
And, and, and they've been running that.
That's an industrial motor.
They're a million mile motor.
This thing's got 200,000 miles a little bit over.
So it's, it's, it's really, it's, it's early in its life.
It's a 97 last year they made them and it was taken out of service because
they, they put new, a whole new model in, in place of them.
So it's a really, really good example of this car.
Are the new ones electric?
I think they're made, they may have a new generation now that's electric.
But, but, but the generation in between is a totally different car.
I think they call it a T, a T something, a TX or TL.
But yeah, it's a whole different car.
Well, if you drive it back, you definitely have to get somebody that is English to
ride in the back all the way to be your fare all the way.
Yeah, right.
You know, maybe when Jason's on tour, he can't do it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I have to see, see who needs a lift to the West coast.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But every day for T.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, but super fun.
But, but they joked that it was, it wasn't, it was a fake taxi.
And then all these comments, I read all the comments and all these comments are
talking about fake taxi, fake taxi.
And on the back, it has a plaque, a yellow plaque and it said, daddy's taxi,
not for hire, blah, blah, blah.
And so everybody's like, yeah, it's a fake taxi because look at the plate in the
back.
And I went, oh man.
So I started, I started researching what fake taxi was.
And it's, I guess it's a porn site or a porn thing where they take these fake
taxis and they, you know, they have, they have things going on inside.
And I thought, oh my God, is this one of those?
I think they're right.
That's a porn taxi.
So I'm like, tell me about the plaque.
He's like, nah, nah, it came from in the state.
He's to drive his daughters around it.
So it literally is daddy's taxing.
That's what, okay.
That's what he called their, yeah, they're my daughters.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're all his daughters.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's like, God, don't worry.
The seats are vinyl.
We steamed them.
They're good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm really excited.
So I think it'll be a nice addition to the quirkiness of our, of our little
British collection.
You know, I have a year is it?
It's a 97.
Yeah.
And a diesel.
So, you know, the thing to do is to literally, you know, you can upgrade
the brakes a little bit.
But the thing to do is to put that little turbo 2.7 liter, I think they went to a
3.0 or something Nissan did, but just get, just get an old used motor with the
turbo set and put the manifold on it and make it a turbo and just get a little
more, a little more real world performance out of it.
So it's a 2.7 liter naturally aspirated Nissan diesel.
Yeah.
It's this one's automatic.
My wife was delighted yesterday when I told her cause she can drive it.
But yeah, you know, we have the two old defenders and we have the, you know, the
Mini Cooper and the Morgan three wheeler and my uncle's.
What color is it?
It's black.
Well, but that's a good question.
They did have a couple of them and like a deep blue, you know, there are some
exception, you know, there are some more black though.
And this one's called a fairway, which was kind of the mid, the mid model.
I think there was a silver version.
I don't remember how that works, but there's different, there's different, you
know, like one would have leather interior and a few extras.
If it's the silver or whatever, you know, there's different levels of them.
But yeah, super fun.
So anyone out there that knows what I'm talking about.
It says it has a top speed of 70 to 75 mile an hour.
Yeah.
And Freddie, Freddie did it.
He goes, yeah, I forget what he said.
There was something going on when he filmed.
So it was really, really slow, but, but he said, yeah, something, this was going
on and we, we replaced it.
And he goes, actually it was, it was restricted.
He goes, it runs totally good.
Now he goes, it actually has quite a little bit of torque, you know, for,
for what it is.
But now you're looking for a London red bus.
Okay.
So funny you say that.
So, so, so the owner of the airport down in Sonoma, he goes to Virginia to get
this really rare by plane.
He's, he's bought a couple really rare early by planes, like really cool by
planes.
And, and I sent him, I sent him a picture and said, Chris, look what I'm
going to get.
I'm going to, I'm going to go buy this cabin.
And he goes, oh wow, far out.
He goes, there's a double decker bus here and they're trying to sell it to me.
I would love a bus except the reality is there's no use for a bus.
I don't, I could not say, oh, take it overlanding.
I cannot do a bus.
Wait, wait, you think you're going to take the taxi overlanding?
You know what?
Freddie sent me a rendering because we talked about it.
Freddie sent me a rendering with some kind of off-roading tires on it and a
roof rack and lights.
Yeah.
I'll send that to you guys.
It was pretty funny because we discussed it.
Like, what are you going to do with this thing?
Say, what can I do with this thing?
But no, no.
Does it have the recessed in headlights?
Is that the newer one?
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're almost French.
Yeah.
They're almost French.
So this looks very, very, very close to the original taxis from this, from
the 50s, except that it has, you know, elongated bumpers.
It doesn't have the little indicators up on the roof line.
It has a little bit different taillights, different hubcaps.
But other than that, they look pretty much timeless.
Well, they do look timeless.
But other than some of those details, it could be of any era.
But then when you look at the interior, and it has a more modern steering
wheel and buttons, and the interiors are really the significant changes over the decades.
They're basically what, over here, we had the checker cabs.
Yeah.
Have you seen how much the checker cabs are going for these days?
I have not.
But will they crush so many of them?
I've seen some 50, 60, 80, 100 grand, 150 grand.
I mean, insane.
So here, you can't get these taxis very, I mean, I've looked all over the
trades to look at values.
Values are all over the place.
I've seen ones that are disassembled for about the same price I got this for, which is amazing.
I got this for the low end price, but the high end condition.
But, you know, a lot of them have crazy miles.
By the time they make them to the States, they're four or 500,000 miles on these things.
So, yeah, Freddie got a really good one.
They buffed it out, cleaned it.
It's missing some clear coat from some graphics that were on it.
A little tiny bit of rust, but it's mostly just surface stuff underneath.
But it's in great shape.
I'm really excited.
I'm going to drive it.
I'm not going to flip it.
I'm just going to drive it and have it as an old quirky cab because these are one of those
vehicles that you could let sit, you know, and just fire it up, you know, after three years.
They're one of those vehicles.
I think 97 was kind of a crossover because there was a new version coming out.
So the FX or something, FX something is the one you got, right?
That's like the old body style.
So that does have more of the classic.
It actually does look like an old Rolls Royce.
It does.
Yeah, because it has that lump in the back and it's a funny thing.
It's more pronounced like front fenders, a little bit more classic style.
Yeah.
And you can supposedly a lot of parts are interchangeable.
So you could, I could put the older style bumpers on it, which would really turn back
the clock like, like that would turn it back, you know, 40 years.
But I don't know, I might just leave it all original and enjoy it.
I would like to put the old style seat covers on it because it has some real contemporary
kind of not so cool seat covers.
But I would, I think the only thing I really would like to do is to put leather seats in it
and do the seat covers with the, it's not a tuck and roll, but it has a certain forward
pattern to it.
And that's very traditional.
So I think I'd like to restore it back to that interior other than that, leave it alone,
drive it.
You know, if it doesn't get, you know, because suppose they do zero to 60 and like 40, you
know, like three minutes.
So if it just doesn't get up to speed in a timely manner that that's that's inhibiting
of its safety, then I might do the turbo manifold on that 2.7.
Yeah.
Because it really is pretty simple.
As far as like driving anyone around in it, it has to be fairly quiet and it can't stink.
Like you can't like smell like diesel and be too loud.
Then it's uncomfortable and nobody wants to go in it.
So if it's fairly quiet and it doesn't wreak of fuel or diesel, then then then it'd be
fun to get into.
Exactly.
Yeah.
And I don't think it would.
I think that they were designed for passenger comfort for the most part.
So unless something's failed and I need to replace it or restore it.
Yeah, it should be good.
I mean, I think it's a great idea for your new side hustle, you know, Uber driver with
Don't forget, we're looking to move down to Sonoma and that is wedding country.
So there you go.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a business model in the future.
T for taxi, right?
T for taxi.
It's an English taxi.
So you call it T for two.
There you go.
You know, the bride and the groom and the.
I'm not going to do some whatever Uber they call it or something like that.
But certainly if someone wanted to use it for a wedding or an event,
I'd be happy to share it.
It would be funny though.
Like if you were on Uber and it shows like three previous and be like,
your Uber is 17 minutes away and like, or you can get this one.
He's 44 minutes away, but he's physically closer.
He's just much, much, much.
He's around the corner on the map, but he's 44.
It's 44 minutes away.
Your taxi driver is driving as fast as they can.
You will get your destination today.
Well, I would imagine I was sitting in an intersection in Marin not too long ago
and I was just watching cars go by and just kind of reflecting on life
and where we were at in this transitional period of where we're going to be.
And I'm looking around and I'm going, God, I couldn't have the Pinscour down here.
It just doesn't make sense.
And I was thinking of kind of what I have and how I would drive it if I lived in the area.
I just, I couldn't picture a lot of what I have in the area.
And it's like in Tahoe, certain things made sense.
And down there, it just didn't make sense.
Everybody is like, it's the world of conformity.
It's like everybody's driving and looking and acting and performing in this conformist kind of way in the Bay Area.
And I was kind of bumming.
And I thought, well, Sonoma, Sonoma feels more independent.
It feels more classic.
It feels like you could drive an old English cab and people would lose their minds.
And I don't drive things for attention, but you have to consider the effect it has on others
and how and where you drive it.
If it's, it hinder, you know, the ability to get out on the road in a timely manner.
And if you're going to hold everybody up behind you, like the Pinscour did up here,
I'll just hit it with, you know, eight horsepower left after 6,500 feet.
But then I thought, you know, the cab would be so fun in Sonoma.
You know, we go to, we go somewhere for lunch, you know, or go out to a winery for an event.
And you show up in an old English cab.
It's going to make people smile and happy.
And like a Mini Cooper, I think everybody is going to have some sort of story with it that they either grew up in them.
And I think people from Europe, and there's a lot of Europeans in the Sonoma area visiting and residents.
So I think it would be one of those things where something so common and so mundane there would be so,
so welcomed and just a rundown memory lane here out of context.
I think it would be like the Mini Cooper, a really joyful experience wherever we took it, you know.
I think it's a really cool thing.
I'm really excited about it because I think it's just one of those things that just happens in life and it was presented.
And it's a fun story how it came to be.
And I think it'll bring us a lot of joy in the future.
I like it. I dig it. I would roll it around here because we just go to the grocery store in the back.
The dogs always come with us.
You can go to class going this thing.
They can jump right in.
Like you said, flat floors and, you know, like, I wouldn't worry about it.
I would have fun with it.
Yeah, exactly.
So thank you, Freddie and his team.
I'm excited about it.
Thank you for my wife for understanding.
It is definitely different.
I mean, you know, it's funny you said about conformity because on the way to work today,
I pulled up to a stoplight and I looked around and I went, what the hell?
There was a Tesla Model Y in front of me.
There was a Tesla Model Y behind me and one on each side of me.
And all the guys remember they got their Starbucks coffee and I'm like, wow, you know.
I know, I know.
You know, Tesla drivers out here in California, they're all like, they bought these Teslas,
but then they all got really mad at Elon Musk for, you know, for his politics.
He had the decals.
Yeah, and they run around with the stickers and are like, I bought this before.
Elon lost his mind.
It's like, OK, by the way, but you didn't sell your car.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Right.
But I saw this move the other day.
I was out.
I was walking down the street, taking the dogs out.
And this, the gray Model Y, the little SUV pulls up toward me and on the front of his
hood, he put the Audi rings, the little Audi.
Oh, that's unusual.
And I was like, oh, OK.
That's funny.
You're trying to do there.
This is a bloated Prius.
Yeah.
I was like, I'm not sure what Audi model you think that is, but OK.
Speaking of Prius, Prius at Clarkson's Farm, there's a new season on.
So we've started that one.
I love that show.
I love that show.
Clarkson's Farm.
You guys watched it at all?
Never heard of it.
Oh my God.
OK, so I haven't watched it, but I heard really good things.
It's so good, you guys.
I have no idea what it's about.
It's so good.
The guy's like legitimately bought a farm and he's legitimately part of the farm
culture in this small town in the UK.
And, you know, his excessiveness and Lamborghini obsession and all of that
falls into the play and the spirit of this show.
But I mean, of course, it's made for TV.
So there are TV things going on and we know what that production stuff.
You can see it a mile away.
But I think a lot of the stuff is really sincere and him fighting for the rights
of farmers and experiencing all of this and having relationships with locals
that are still on the show and have become, you know, part of this integral,
you know, unit that he's built is awesome.
I mean, farm life is real for this guy.
And you can tell just with his comfort with the machinery or his discomfort.
But it's good.
It's a little window into the lifestyle, but it's very entertaining.
It has a very wholesome side to it, which is really cool.
Obviously him and his family have really adopted this life and awesome for him.
And I got to say, you think we've got frustrations here with bureaucracy
and laws and things.
This new series, this new season breaks out with just stuff
that just makes you want to pull your hair.
What's it called, Aaron?
Clarkson's Farm.
And where is it?
Maybe it's Amazon because isn't that what Top Gear was?
Yeah. Yeah.
Amazon.
I'm pretty sure it's Amazon.
Yeah.
But it's, yeah.
It's Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear.
Yeah.
That's who it is.
Yeah.
And it's great.
Brad, you guys, please, but I warn you, watch it when you have time
because you will binge.
I think runs what season four or five now?
Five seasons.
My wife, she's awesome.
Season five.
And it's just so good.
It really is.
It's so good.
You guys watch it, watch it.
Yeah.
But yeah, he drives a Lamborghini tractor.
It's just so over the top.
It's great.
And it's great.
And he has, he has someone he works with who he's hired to kind of be
the manager of all of this.
And I think they bump heads legitimately, but they also bump heads
for the show.
And it's just, it's awesome.
I mean, we love Top Gear.
Top Gear was very produced.
Yes.
And that's probably on par with what he's used to now.
That's the type of show he would be doing.
Although I haven't seen it.
I would just expect that to be the case.
Do expect it and it will meet your expectation because it,
it's campy.
It's funny.
It's filmed.
It might even be the same crew to be honest.
I mean, he might have hired as many of that crews he could get his
hands on.
It's consistent with Top Gear content.
But it really is good.
And you can see that there's an underlying reality and sincereness
to it.
You definitely, you'll see that pretty quick.
Like, like, like, there's some real situations.
You can see the staged ones.
It's pretty obvious, but, but there's, there's obviously some real
situations in there.
And as, as it unfolds and it covers a whole year,
I think each season is a whole year.
So, so a lot happens in, in between episodes.
Sometimes there's huge gaps which are covered.
Like all of a sudden everything's mature and it's,
it's definitely something they've invested in over time.
So it's, it's, it's a full-time gig, but it's awesome.
We got to wrap it up.
We got to wrap it up.
We can't stand up about it.
See, I told you I could.
Yeah.
We didn't need any content.
We'll talk about next week.
We'll talk about how California wants to take away your performance
tires.
Oh, yeah.
Among other things.
Yeah.
Among other things.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the, the air and takeover today.
No, it's fine.
Hey, man, it was cool.
Two weeks of catching up.
Got anything to talk about guys before we go?
Anything to promote?
No, no, no.
Wrap it up.
Okay.
Yeah.
We're going to wrap it up and thanks for listening to Shift and Stere.
We'll be back next week with more stories, more fun.
And, you know, that's a promise, not a threat.
If I still have a voice.
Swallow, Brad.
Swallow.
Swallow.
About this episode
Aaron’s dad kicks off a summer tour with St. Louis as the first stop, while the hosts juggle rehearsals and moving cars between the warehouse and the studio. The conversation turns into a string of family and collector-car stories—low-mileage Porsche Turbos, a restored 1968 Mustang GT500 sold at Barrett-Jackson, and a custom build with a Dynacorn body and an eight-carburetor look that “feels” like fuel injection. Later, they debate originality, confirm Michelin TRX tires, and end with a tease about California performance tire rules.
