Economy, Towing treats This is the hard parking podcast brought to you by right hand out of Scottsdale Arizona.
And I'm your host Jay Finning, first and foremost, happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there, in the father's pulling double duty, you know, last year, one of my biggest episodes with the Father's Day episode and I don't think I really spent much time on Mother's Day or Mother's just important to me is hopefully anyone's mother.
If you're fortunate enough to have a mother, some people are raised without a mother. And my relationship with my
mother is really good. However, she was always a
disciplinarian in my house. It wasn't my father, my father
wasn't home a lot. He travelled for work, most of
the time and so my mother took care of my brother and I, when I was younger, of course, really small.
My mother is who I'd always run to.
I remember being in the rocking chair crying and her comforting me. And I think that's it's easy for
people to say, well that's the mother's role.
The mother is the nurture and the father is a disciplinarian and Again, my mother was kind of both mom and I we I helped her cook. Help her do stuff around the
house, but we got into it a lot as well.
And I was a smart mouth ass little kid in my mother of anybody who listens to. This actually knows my mother.
She's pretty rigid. She's very matter-of-fact and if
you know me, well, I may seem that way.
I have to believe a lot of that comes from her.
In fact my my kids, my wife are like whoo come on across your mom. Yeah cuz she Is Cutthroat, but
she's a great woman and I think you don't really appreciate it.
I didn't really appreciate it until I became older, of course.
Right. And then of course, listen to
this. It's easy to say, well yeah, do
we never do appreciate it too. Were older.
But I don't know. A lot of you you're there like
this or you've had a lot of friends like this where their mother was talking to him all that all the time.
Every day. My wife cannot go a day without
talking to her mother. I mean she lives with us.
But when she didn't It was just part of her life.
My wife has a huge family. I have almost no family.
We don't do family reunions anymore and with the passing of my father last October. Our family is just getting
smaller, but her family structure is so strong.
There's just so many people and it was so foreign to her to be with someone. Like me, who may have talked to,
my parents, may have talked to my mother once a week, once a month. In fact, if I were to call my
mother more than once a week, she even said, This my mother said yeah. If you talk to me all that time,
I'd ask what's going on and why are you calling me?
That's my that's my mother. But she's still up there in
Minnesota with my brother and happy Mother's Day to her.
And again, happy Mother's Day to all of you and I really appreciate her. I have to say, a lot of my
personality comes from the way, I was raised.
I think my region is comes from her, and my compassion comes from my father and that's how I was raised.
I remember I think about my mother someone who didn't support me in the ways. I felt like I needed to be
supported or my father on that on that side he did.
But she did so much more and I just didn't realize it, she used to ask me. Where do you think you're going
to be when you grow up? I said I'd be an artist and she
goes oh yeah, sure. And it's easy to say damn that's
fucked up. I say this no one knows your
kids like, you know your kids no one knows you like your parents or your parents. And so I was obviously not
showing that I really had interest in too much of anything asset, then I drew all day and went to school and had great, you know, great grades in art but I sucked in English in math science. Everything else and so it's easy
to say. Oh yeah, right.
And it challenged you it challenges you.
But she's from a small town. My mother is a small town woman
raised in a town of less than 500.
In fact is like 430, the school was kindergarten through graduation high school. Everybody knew everybody and
times are different times or different parts of the world of different and that's small town, Minnesota.
So happy Mother's Day Mom, happy Mother's Day to my mother-in-law. Happy Mother's Day, to my wife,
my daughter, all you mothers out there.
Like I said in the beginning, Coming up in a little bit, the horsepower, our podcast joins with Andy imhoff and Cory Saint Clair, really good podcast. I really like listener that one
because it's cars with a lot more cars.
In this one, good sound quality, good comedy, and you learn a lot about things that things that don't seem to really matter as much. But it's valuable information.
These guys are like an encyclopedia for cars that aren't Ferraris, and it's kind of a call back to yesteryear when I was first getting into cars in my early 20s 30s.
Always one or two people in your group that just, they knew everything there. Like Jesse, they're like Jesse
on Fast and Furious tour. The cars, talk to them when they
work on them and they can't concentrate on anything else.
Everybody has a genius like that?
Like both these guys know, they know a lot.
And so that's coming up in a few minutes, but real quick.
So I'm recording this on Sunday, May 9th Mother's day yesterday.
I went to a car event with Byron as Byron.
Jones trays AMG, he was just on here, a couple episodes ago in studio. We're coming back from a car
event and we get The freeway and you know we all do this thing where you start to get on the highway and it's like three miles to the next exit and you just punch it.
You look around, doesn't seem to be any traffic in your lane coming up behind you. So you can merge in front of you
and you just punch it. I even put my fingers out the
window. Some of you have seen this video
on my Instagram page at na-2 NSX.
I counted down, three, two, one. And I just gunned it in the car,
just screaming, MX Gear room, I look in my rearview and I have this big place. Uma black smoke that came out of
the NSX because the turbo just hasn't been let loose in a while and I noticed Byron's way back there but I also notice a motorcycle switching lanes and coming up and I think oh shit.
Is that a? Is that a cop?
Oh my God. Totally and officer comes
pulling on by this point. I mean I wasn't just gonna get I
wasn't even out of traffic. But I got up to probably 120 125
from like an 80, pull getting on the highway or 70 or whatever.
It was fast enough to switch into fourth gear.
And it's a motorcycle cop and I'm thinking.
Aw, fuck. He pulls up next to me.
Whoop. Well, looks over at me.
I look at him and I just do mouth.
I just said I'm so sorry. And gave like this big Grimace
on my face grin kind of like, oops, guess that caught my hand in the candy jar and he looks over at me, kind of shakes, his head points down, like, slow down.
Keep that shit low and just pulled off.
So, fucking lucky speaking of officers, there's an article where police departments are starting to switch over to using Tesla's because there are 30% more efficient.
Apparently this has been happening with precincts around the United States, but now it's made the news.
And I think it's kind of it's kind of weird, right?
So when you're out there and you're driving and you see somebody get pulled over by a minivan, first thing you think is, that's not fair cops pull over playing dirty.
That's dirty. Like at least give me an
opportunity to feel like you're an unmarked car but don't pull me over in a minivan. Don't pull me over and a pickup
truck but when you see the Tesla you look at it and you think wow, that's kind of cool. And it's weird how that kind of
works in our minds. And it makes sense for certain
situations because the Tesla is the batteries are running low if you just ride them hard. But I would have to believe
that. Not every officer out there is
just riding hard all the time. Just probably a few times a day.
Otherwise probably just sitting around waiting for people to pull them over tickets or just patrolling the neighborhood's.
Doing whatever it is they do because these weren't necessarily unmarked cars. These were Tesla's, put the
lights, and the badging, on the side, Let me know.

U.s. that was great. You know, I couldn't have done
it. Any better myself, Andy imhoff,
voice and Claire of horsepower. Our podcast, welcome to the hard
parking podcast. Thank you for having us.
My friend. You were on Coit, was he?
One of our first guests? I think he was like first
second, third. Something like, That was very
early on, and it's been a long time coming.
I'm very happy to be here. Well, the thing that in listen,
people, listen to you, J, obviously, these are your listener, so they're listening to you, they're used to you.
But the thing that you guys have to understand is from a vocal work perspective, I do a lot of VoiceOver stuff.
I do commercials I do audiobooks now, granted, most of it is self-help and I try not to sound too suicide e.
Suicide j8j is got one of those voices.
He really gets his point across And I think that, if you listen to the hard parking podcast, you are, you're probably like, you know, how only fans has like the top 1%, top 5%, but there are so many people on only fans now that it's like you're in the top point five percent, you're in the top one percent J, your podcast is in the top point zero, one percent of podcast that I listen to so many podcasts deals in 2, 3 or 4.
Yeah. Well, you know what?
I'll take it. I'll actually go podcast by a
felon named to row geoghan. I don't know if you guys know
him or not, he's a DMT and his, and his done, some some fighting, you know, in his past and apparently he's pretty good.
But the dudes, real, real short. And so, you know, the short man
complex is a little bit of problem Coy listens to a couple different podcast but I think mostly he just listens to the horsepower. Our, I like to hear the sound of
my own voice. Yeah.
I do want to point out. We have Of three near, you know,
almost professional soon to be sponsored.
I'm a Gentry semi-professional. If we get two more Automotive
Pathak podcast guys on here, we could literally summon Captain plant. Whoo.
Well, I mean, if Captain Planet showed up right now, he'd be a little bit pissed but I think I could tell him pretty succinctly, you know, Captain I drive a hybrid.
My vehicle Burns, both gas and oil.
There you go. You got a little bit of coolant
so I'm kind of you know, it It's the trifecta.
So I'm having some video issue but the people listening to this don't care but I think Captain Planet is already here because I look blue on my screen. I think I think subconsciously
that was going through your head there Coy and and then to make you think of Captain Planet. Because there's three of us and
here I am with a blue head. Yeah, I need to send you a green
mullet wig buddy. That looks awesome, that'd be,
that'd be pretty accurate. It didn't have like a like a
white and red. Oh man, spent so long head,
like, red boots and like a white outfit with red like long red gloves. I think was in his jacket, just
a giant Confederate flag. No, I don't remember it that
way. That's why I like you guys
because even if we're not, you guys look like where the relative age and so we can kind of pick up on those jokes that have these people listening. Have no fucking idea about don't
insult our audience. Come on Shay.
You don't have to insult your audience.
Don't go out there and they can look up Captain Planet if they want. I recommend, if you're going to
Google Gap, Captain Planet, I'm well said Captain Planet but that's actually Coy when he had trouble on.
Yeah. So if you're going to go out
there and look up Captain Planet, make sure that you include Don Cheadle. I'm sorry, Hagel sick Gap today.
Somebody somebody get up Port have a right now and in fact, check that, please let Be real, my wife's gonna be like, what in the hell is your search history? And I'm like look it was I was
fact-checking somewhat. It's nice about Captain and hit
Captain Planet likes his men like he likes his dick short and fat, it's right. But first off, what are you
drinking before we go talk about?
I asked him as he puts it up to his mouth.
Well, so actually, I brought this over for koi to commemorate. The first time we are using his
Studio. Normally we use my studio, but
coin, I both have Studios built in our home.
Alms. That's why our audio quality is
on point. Coy you have an irrational love
for Captain Morgan Private Stock.
Yes I love cat Morgan Pratt stop from its mitts it's the top around my I'm going to say it could be second there's another one that I've been liking lately and a little Coke if I could find that other Rama would have bought it because most vendors Coke in the room or you have Coke next to the room.
Now there's Coke in the rum. Ironically, if you put just a
just a splash of Coke Zero into this cap, more in private stock, it tastes like a root beer, I almost made a drink because you guys I figured you guys would be drinking.
And so for that, I apologize. I have some black cherry
Waterloo but that's not going to work.
You have black cherry water Lube.
What a loop. Yeah, for for get them planted
over here. Oh nice still Waterloo.
Oh I got you. Yeah, water-soluble loop, it's
sad. However, as I get older, I like
slowly, drink less, and less soda.
And I'm now just drinking, like carbonated water with it taste like like that fruit that it's named after peed in it.
You know, it's like so this is raspberry bubbly water.
I'm like, oh yeah, raspberry peed in this.
I can just almost taste that it walked past this can of water.
It's like a raspberry had covid-19 and sneezed into the glass. If we go back a year, I'm not
drinking this. I don't know what.
And but I wanted something that I could just open up the, the, the beer cooler downstairs and pull out and chug.
So whether it's a Dos Equis or carbonated water.
It's something that wouldn't, you know, immediately put me on my ass. So I've actually been finding
myself a little bit irritated by the yeast recently and beer, which is a shame because I love beer.
I actually started brewing beer but it hasn't really gone too far because it just it messes with my system a little bit too much. So hard, alcohol is kind of
where I'm at. That's, that's the happy medium
for Me when's the last time you heard that koi pain pills and alcohol is my happy medium? Yeah I'm pretty sure that's like
you're halfway to Charlie Sheen. You know you're you're on the
downhill descent. Sure, I don't exactly have the
tigers blood but we're moving up that way.
Definitely a downhill Glide plane that you're right that way. I look at it, if I'm not
sleeping on a park bench with a needle hand on my arm, I'm doing okay or you're not in Portland. Well, there is that.
So I have to ask you something Jay, since we're here and we're doing this thing. How is that non-specified
problem in Arizona? Because here in Oregon, it's
real bad. Son, we talked to needles, or
covid, needles, homeless, that sort of thing.
Yeah. I think I think Portlandia might
be. It's like the tourist
destination for the homeless. It's like the homeless.
Yeah. It's like the homeless and like
Phoenix. Like we gotta get out of here,
we're I got a honey, we got take a vacation, we got, go to Portland for a while, just lay out in the middle of the, you know, the parks and shit. When I was there, Arizona for
the winters, if I'm honest because they are, you homeless.
Oh, I mean, I could be the night's young.
We're just starting your podcast.
I just feel like the rain is a little bit too, when what I wouldn't want to be laying in the rain, if I was homeless, that's that's my whole thing, you know, I think I would like to, if I were homeless, I would definitely vacation in Arizona.
Hmm. I don't think We have the near I
think because the extreme heat, we don't have the issues that, you know, you see starting over the West Coast, you know, once you start go to a, you know, Los Angeles, you only have blocks and blocks of tents overpasses. You start getting up into
Oakland and that beautiful city behind you San Francisco, you know, it's the same deal, and as you get further up to bring you guys, I think that's probably the peak.
Sure. Coil is, tell me the day.
He's not exactly, like a snowbird.
That's what they call. Like retired people, you know,
that go to warmer weather states in the wintertime or more snow bums. No, see I work in Port 1.
I do directional, horizontal directional drilling.
So pipes under roads and whatnot.
So I'm down there with the people a lot of times and I see see this homelessness on another level and it is for those who haven't been up close to it is unreal.
Like, it's like you're in another country for a moment.
I mean, it's it's something else.
Actually starting a program because we want to bring more awareness to the homeless problem here in Oregon.
It's called a bum rush 2000 in. This is a real thing.
We're actually going to do this. So the rules for the bum-rush
2000 or BR 2 K, as we like to call it is, you have to have a shopping cart. It has to have one wheel that
both powers and breaks. Okay?
You have to have sorry koi what's it called thing on the back. Back that attaches to the
shopping cart page, stand on. There's a name for it and I
forget now. Yeah, you see.
It has to be a standing platform.
You have to be standing behind the shopping cart.
You need to look like, you're pushing the shopping cart, right? So whether you achieve that by
standing on the back of shopping cart, or my preferred method is going to be having basically like a tiller set up on the back, where there's two wheels one on either side and then I'm standing on a platform and that's attached to the shopping cart. We are going to make this
happen. It is a real thing.
We've already got our shopping carts.
Probably have half a dozen people who are already working on these and so rule number one is it has to look like you're pushing the shopping cart. Rule number two is you have to
look the part. Because obviously, if we're
doing this race in a very public area, we need to be able to blend in. If you understand what I'm
talking about, again needs to be seeing wheel drive needs to have the single wheel brake. I'm not limiting anything like
the top speed. I'm not limiting safety,
anything like that. Although I would recommend that
you wear a helmet. I plan on getting the smallest
helmet. I can possibly fit in the maybe
fitting like a KFC chicken Bucket over the top.
Weren't you talking about? Maybe wrapping years in tinfoil?
Yeah, I'm gonna go full like, armadillo tinfoil hat but I don't see. I don't think he's gonna do the
antennas. I think.
Koi is going to actually do a swan that's folded out of the tin foil on his helmet. And yeah, we're planning on
doing a one or two mile race. We're going to have
predetermined start and stop and we plan on making this.
Series by the way of already reached out and talk to a local go-kart track owner. I don't want to disclose too
much, but we are planning on making this a racing series and we are going to bring in at what are we got signed on so far, 11, 12 people so far. We got about 12 people that
interested we want to during the gamblers, mmm, at the party area. You know, the meeting Rally
Point, we'd like to set it up and do some races, right?
So with the Gambler, they have this thing they call The hooptie X and that's where you essentially take your Gambler car on a rally course. And then of course, they have
the mini bike racing. That's does completely separate
from The Gambler do. Yeah, that's completely separate
from the gambler but they do call it a hoopty race, right?
I think it's just the gay, a minibike.
Is it just to give everybody the hooptie race is just the hoop DX or hooptie cross little running on they kind of called both but it's like a two-mile basically. Rally course either way we plan
on doing a gambler transient X which is Be a lot of fun.
It's going to be us, racing are shopping carts across this BMX track that they normally have the, a mini bikes on.
And I think it's going to be a really, really good time Jay right here. Now, track on bone podcast.
I would like to extend an invite to you, my friend for the bum-rushed tooth. The B2 K Dr. Dr. B R2.
K MB R 2K, can I be a color commentator?
What can I be a commentator? You can be any color you want
but we're clear. You the green mullet.
So, I mean, whatever you want to be.
Yeah, I don't know what happened to that.
I'm no longer blue. I don't know what the hell
happened. I don't know what happened of
correctly. It's self correcting.
Your all grunting. Yeah, so horsepower.
How'd you get started? Well, so Quinn, I've been doing
a podcast for a long time called boost blues and barbecue.
Yep. And it was our Dream to kind of
do a car podcast. We started out doing boost boost
barbecue because it was Cars. It was Alcohol.
It was barbecue. We felt like we'd have a larger
range of people that we hit. It wasn't until later that we
realized that. What's the saying coin niches
make riches? Yeah, we realized that we had
frowned too wide of a net and we're, we're essentially losing listeners because somebody's who's signing on Just for cars?
Doesn't care about the booze with alcohol.
You know, he may not listen and then vice versa.
Somebody just interested in barbecue and then that week we didn't do much barbecue. Talk just did cars there, you
know, just because you're in a barbecue, doesn't mean you love crappy. Japanese yam sport compact.
So we realized that we needed to too narrow in and we kind of started putting together horsepower hour and we're going to kind of hard launch it. And then covid went down and
kind of held them off. It wasn't covid.
Remember is my car accident? Well, there you got a pretty bad
wreck. Yeah, I got hit by a drunk
driver and it collapsed. Two discs in my neck and gave
me. Pretty traumatic brain injury
and covid-19 of icing on the cake.
To be honest, I thought you know I'll give myself a little time to recover and then we'll launch a horsepower hour.
But anyways, so the horsepower, our is an accumulation of all the things that we love and all of the things that we could do without from whose bosom barbecue, what we used to call 3, BQ, we still have all those episodes out there, haven't deleted any of them. People can still listen to those
and man there is some amazing content on that podcast.
East and we're trying to bring a lot of that good content over to the horsepower. Think so.
So what's the low? The low though?
Because it's difficult doing what we do, it's difficult to find new listeners, we can have golden content, and it's just really difficult sometimes. And then when the next famous
person decides I'm going to do a podcast, you know.
The pie is so big but it still feels like they're kind of tugging it. Anything that you're trying to
grab at like, what's the low the low on and why bail on it just Because of that. Well, it was a combination of
factors and none of which are really, how should I put this coin? I we love cars.
We want to talk to a car. He comes through.
Am I not? Yeah.
No, I know. I've been a car guy since before
I was allowed to drive cars and we both love to cook.
We both love to barbecue and you know, each other for a while like I was one of your recent episodes you were talking and you had You mentioned a coil? Yeah I was you guys were
roommates at the time. So how long ago?
How long have you guys known each other?
Yeah. Gosh.
How long have I known? You koi?
35 years. Yeah, but 35 going on 36.
Yeah, his mom and my dad are siblings, so okay.
Yeah, since since birth basically.
Yeah, how are you guys able to stay focused?
All right, because usually you get in these Partnerships and there's always one co-host, it just doesn't want to do shit anymore. Well so if I make Oh, go ahead.
No, go ahead from the beginning, I didn't do shit.
So we started on that foot. I just bring my mouth and I
don't really have any other talents.
So we really rely heavily on Andy to do the social media, the editing, really, all of the hard part.
And I just show up and talk. I would like to disagree with
koi and say, oh, no, he's just being modest, but no, he's oh, no, that's the truth. Okay, he doesn't drop them talk.
I will tell you though the thing that really keeps us a tight core group and koichi Can agree with me 100% when I say this.
It's that big dick energy. You know, I'm supposed to agree
with you. Yeah.
Well um you guys when you literally right or not homie ride or die, you bet you better have literally seen my penis.
You know it's not big. Like I don't know why you would
say that. It's all relative.
What's that used to sing in grade school, deep and wide?
That's what the girls are saying when you they called me tunic and Coy not long. No.
You know what keeps us going? Is just the fact that coin I
both love doing this. And again, we both love cars.
I'll tell you something. Jay, there is so much car
information in my brain that I'll never do anything with and it probably isn't even a detriment.
You know, if I'm trying to learn a new skill I'm sure their car stuff in there. That's like nope you don't get
to remember that. I'm forcing it out because you
Remember what motor mounts go in you know, to M4 Fiero, you know it's just it's all in there. It's all caught and so basically
the podcast for us it's like a therapy session you know we're getting to release some of that knowledge.
So hopefully we don't have to just sit and hang on to it for the rest of our lives. Is that fair enough?
Joy, that's fair. I don't think people really
understand nowadays with Facebook.
The amount of Time that car guys would spend pouring over forms and just basic sugar digesting, something between raw data and then people's opinions about said, raw data, thousands and thousands and thousands of pages of any car.
You're interested in a car, you had your buddy's car.
Somebody who had a car that new you are a car guy that just wanted some help with something. You're like, hang on.
I'll just search the internet for four hours or so much function, but inaudible enough to give you an answer.
Let's cross-reference a little magazine.
In that we bought when we were 16 and, you know, right now through those because I know that there's some, some, some kind of a data about it in those magazines, you know.
So I remember some dude built on this way and you reach into your banana boxes sport, compact cars and start going through it.
You know, I didn't tell you this koi, but okay.
So my nephew will just kind of get into a my nephew.
Burned up the transmission in his 2006, Honda Civic SI he's not gonna listen this podcast, so he's not gonna be pissed off at me. So he's borrowing a car from a
co-worker. It's 1.8 L Sentra.
It's a beef teen center. It's probably 2005 fish and I
just started randomly talking to him about.
Oh yeah, the be 13 Century had something real special, you know, the B13 Sentra, it came in an scr and it had four-wheel disc brakes and a little bit, you know, change suspension and had the SR20. It was still a D&E, wasn't the
ve, but it had the sr20det naturally aspirated engine and it was very good in the engines. Just they had the certain thing
in the He's just had something to him, you know, and then the be 14th century Lala and then we get to the be 15 cents and I'm telling him all the reasons why the be fifteen centuries, it's good but it's not quite as good and it kind of fell on its face and people wanted to love it but it's just not quite there and he's just sitting there with his glazed, look on his face.
Like when is this guy going to shut the fuck up so that I can go back to watching this movie? That's the look.
I have right now but now it's about exactly know what is it to here's why I love your guys podcast like real talk.
Your relatable. You don't just read off of
headlines. What's going on?
I dip my toes into so many other other Automotive podcast and they are just they sound like they just fell off the DJ booth and they're just so like commercial commercial commercial and you can identify them. They're always about trying to
book the next highest profile. Mr. So-and-so or mrs.
So-and-so from whatever and it's like for me I'm like I don't give a fuck about any of that shit.
I want to listen to you, I want to laugh at your stories.
I want to laugh at your segments and I want to learn something.
Even if it's about frickin Nissan sentra's in the SE ours and the different Motors, you know.
And that's what I love about you guys podcast and I think it's so hard to find that sound out there whether just in D level like us or bigger because a lot of people like, oh, you do A car podcast. Yeah.
Oh, Have you listened to Car Talk on NPR?
I have not, I have not and I probably never will because you lost me with NPR, you know. Yeah, so it's fun.
You know, the horsepower our and you guys, hopefully segments and so man, I mean, I hopefully, you guys keep doing it because I enjoy listening to it. Well, I'll tell you something
right now, the segment's we both work on the segment's, it can go either way, the smoke and dealer smoking a doob.
That's something. We've been doing from the
beginning. Shit's funny is no doing that on
Boost boost barbecue for. I don't even know how long.
In smoking dealer smoking, a doob is where we take a car from Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist or wherever and we review it and we decide is this car worth it.
Is it not worth it and inevitably hilarity ensues because coin, I we just we have this exhaustive Automotive background to be able to pull from.
And, you know, the pop culture references, don't necessarily hurt either, so we're able to just kind of pull that out, you know, one of my favorites right now as Overland AF, That as actually a segment that's very geared towards Coy because koi is a bit of an over Landing Legend here in Oregon.
I don't know about all that I do.
I do like, tell us up in the hills and whatnot.
So, Overland AF in the Overland Community, it's kind of grown, it picked up. A lot of the people from, like
the Honda, you know, the Honda craze and, and drift craze and all that, and they just buy a forerunner and outfit it to the max, you know, it's got heavy. But I mean, these things 8,000
pounds or 2,000 pounds of a gross vehicle, weight, rooftop, tents trailers. And they look cool.
Don't get me wrong and, and they're amazing, but they're just way over the top and it's always the newest gear.
The over lenders can almost get into like the PC guys where it's like, poop. This is outdated.
I'm getting the next coolest camp stove like it's like, what was Coleman still work? Like they are old but so there's
a lot of, a lot of cool stuff that comes out in the Overland world. Old.
Sometimes it's the fatty gear, you know that, that last item, that will kind of stop and make fun of last week, it was a mcmansion, it had an underground garage.
That just seemed over the top. So it's you, you know, just kind
of over-the-top Automotive, kind of outdoor stuff that we usually do once while we throw in a hovercraft or something.
Oh dude, one of my favorites was that that floating tent.
You remember that? Yes, I said that was the coolest
and most expensive way to kill yourself on a river.
I sat there and looked at is literally like, looked like a life raft, but it was an inflatable tent.
They just popped out on the lake and then slept in and do him wrong. Cool.
Cool. Wasn't it.
Fully inflatable, like, didn't the even the sides and everything. They were like tubes that
inflated, you know, it was, it was legit and it was expensive.
I just wanted to try and like, take it to a ski slope and pull it get like six people and they're just see where you ended up because I mean, You could peek out the window, but you can't steer it. You're inside of a tent.
There's a quick correction here. What he actually wanted to do
was convince one of his drunk friends to set it up at the top of the ski slope and then fall asleep and then push him off the side and then record that shit. Yes.
So viral at least for GoPros inside, for sure.
Yeah. And we're actually working on a
new segment that we will break on your own.
I've sold, it has decisions or I can break this on yourself.
Breaking news. Oh snap.
Just For you Jay, we've were coming up with a new segment.
Called fabricated suicide so we always come.
We often come across these these great, you know, somebody Builds an LS go-kart, yep, street bike, powered something, mmm, you know, milk, you know, like the milk delivery van things with Ventura street bikes in these just home fabricated.
They look awesome and I would drive it, but it's a structure fire way to kill yourself and we're going to start popping some of those up in a fabricated.
Suicide SEC. Yes it's like the it was it on
your guys Facebook page. Someone had posted the guy with
a shopping cart so this is why women live longer than men.
He's at the drag strip. Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, that's just a quick plug for you guys out there.
The horsepower, our podcasts literally just facebook.com
slash group / the horsepower, our podcast, if you come over and check that out, we post a lot of the same stuff that, you know, and love over on hard parking violations.
That's why me. Part of hard parking violations,
but you are going to miss out on some seriously, hardcore Automotive stuff. You don't come and check that
group out the horsepower. Our podcast was a group on
Facebook. Please do come and join because
seriously Jay, I love you. You post amazing stuff.
I probably even more so I'm on your page in mind.
Wait, you know we all have our vices right.
Somebody is feeling like they need to come and check out like really hardcore. Ridiculous.
Out of shit. There is the craziest stuff
being posted over on the horsepower.
Our seriously you know you just reminded me.
Could you just clear this up? Your Mazda Protege idea,
admission your old-school Protege and I probably got the numbers and everything else wrong with.
So for the record, can you tell us what you were doing in that thing? What was pushing out?
And like, where we were fuck you doing with it.
Yeah, so it was a 1991 Mazda. Protege, someone had brought it
over from, don't know if I can or wear or some shit like that.
Thought they were going to Stage rally in a realize.
Wasn't legal here. They brought it down from Canada
but it was originally important in Norway or whatever.
Do thought they was gonna do stage.
Rally in Washington. Turns out, can't do stage rally
in a non-production u.s. vehicle and so just sat for a number of
years and then I ended up getting the drive train from it.
Did a fully built Mazda BP motor, you balance blueprinted.
All that good stuff at a GTX 2876, our turbo on it, put out 340 ish. Horsepower to the tire.
It was all wheel drive. That's probably not something I
should feel like you're missing out.
An integral part of this. What's that?
That motor was in a festive first.
Yeah, yeah, it was. The Festiva was well fast evil
as we call the Festiva, my wife called it Festivus Prime.
So the Festiva, it got to the point where all it was good for was racing sport bikes on the freeway.
And so I decided to kind of change gears With my project.
So the reason why I got the Protege all-wheel drive is because it was 2,600 pounds made, 340 course sire and it was one of the quickest cars that I've driven honestly.
I mean, not top and you know, anything that goes more than 135 miles, an hour is going to be able to beat this, but that's because I had these short rally Gators.
And yeah, one of my favorite things to do was to race Subarus around town because they just had no idea what they were in for now, I'm not advocating. As a 35 year old man that you
should go out there and build a car specifically for street racing. That's not what I'm saying.
However, if you do do it, it will instantly make your dick longer tunic and Coy was yours. Where's mine?
Where's your? I don't know if you built one of
those based on what you were saying earlier.
That's no, I originally back in the day, I had a Civic hatchback that was I was big into autocrossing.
So I built it for the class at the time.
I just had to be 18, kind of a all motor setup by the SI limited-slip transmission from Japan as a little, a little shorter gear ratio gone on in it, then the type R, right?
Yeah. As a shorter shorter gear ratio
on the type R. It's the transmission you
wanted. If you're doing an all motor
setup and then I ran slicks, there were 13 by 9 steals with man, I can't remember. It's been too long.
Giant Mickey, Thompson and only have dislikes is just if you can imagine In what a Hot Wheels car looked like an 80s.
That's where his car look like. And then, yeah, then I just ran
some Falcon and Nabi 15 inch, and then I'd run like, whatever the code to Street tire was then that was 200 red where, you know, and actually Street Tire. I need to tell a funny story.
J, one time we were in autocross, Coit had shown up and he put on his 13 by 9, Hoosier slick tyres to race and then we're getting ready to drive home.
And he was thrown on his street tires, which again, and we're And super technical here, but they were Falken as Enos, were they the RT 615 at that point? Okay, so it was, it was right
after the RT 6:15 and come out. And that was a very hot tire for
the street Tire class. And so, we're changing our tires
over in. This guy comes walking by the
again. This is an autocross event and
he comes walking by and he goes. Oh, you're changing tires and
coils. Yeah.
And he goes. Whoa, are you like you ran the
street mod class earlier you're running Street, our class now and coils. And no and the dude was like,
well why are you putting race tires back on your car?
And Coy looks up at him dead face?
I will never forget this. He looks up at him and he goes,
hey, man. If you want to be hardcore, you
gotta be hardcore and that dude, literally, I watched his fucking brain explode. He was just sitting there, like,
what people like this exist. Oh, my God, but of course, the
time we all ran out across tires street because we're all facing more than we were racing. Not that Probably should be
inventing that but you know, it is what it is.
That is like a quintessential coin moan for me is when that dudes mind was blown and then he looked at a time and he said, want to be hardcore, got to be hardcore and the dude just hit did he say anything after you said that?
It's kind of a like a wow, man. That can't believe it.
Typed I can't remember us. Yes, years ago was yeah I'm
probably going to be a hardcore. You actually have to be hardcore
bro. And an essential Cowboy but my
tires back on. Yeah I like that and the dude
was absolutely Glory. Oh absolutely.
I ran a Civic. Wow, I had an S2000 that I built
and cut it and turned into kind of full race car.
Half Cajun. A boy, a Four Loko can paint job
on, it was pretty slick sold that to a 17 year old and had kids and stuff. And then recently picked up a
2001 MR2 Spyder noses. Little micronized ones, aren't
they? The Mrs has yeah Mrs. Yeah,
little tiny guy. Everybody asked me how I fit in
and I decide oh, I actually wear it.
I dreaded on. Yeah.
So when he gets out of that car, he gives birth to Them, right.
All right. Let's do your top five the
horsepower. Our presents.
This month's top five of the week today.
All right, what are you? What are you guys hit me with
Quail? You want to lead this one?
So top 5 mods that you just don't see anymore.
Growing Old School. Jay.
I feel like you're in the age group where you can appreciate some of these and I'm going to start out.
Out with Knology spark plug wires.
Oh yeah. That's right.
Most nobody has spark plug wires anymore but they were insanely expensive. Capacitor spark, plug wires that
came in multiple colors. Supposedly added horsepower.
And if you had them you were super cool.
Guaranteed to give you a hot and hotter spark every single time, hot Spa Rocks park. Is it was that capacitance koi?
Do we know if those were actually like legit, were they capacitance? I They were actually legit, but
I don't know. Did you J?
Do you know if those were like actual performance product?
If people on The Forum say they were then they were There was really no way to fact-check a lot of YouTube and stuff back before Facebook and YouTube, it was just like, yeah.
They work. Every eight, did you run ology
wires on your NSX? I didn't have it in a sec
spectin, but I may have tried to stick them on an Integra.
Yes. That is the correct vehicle for
them to go on. Congratulations.
I'm not gonna lie. There was a point when I had a
clear like read. It was like a clear red
distributor cover on a A on a D16 motor.
So you could see the rotor sparking, it was super cool back then, Super Slam to be super cool right now, what else?
That's that's one of five coil. One of my favorites is actually
the grounding kits, man. Oh yes, I've heard those were
legit. Those were big deal.
You got to get that ground kit, bro.
Extra ground to your motor specially made more power.
I don't think I was aware not for causing little Sparks on the ground. Possibly, I don't know.
Nobody has scored. He had to hold on to it on his
record and he sold them to they always said that that was super hot. Like he wanted the best
performance from your ignition. You had to have a proper
grounding kit and somehow somehow the grounding kit was going to give you more horsepower.
I never understood how that was going to work, but there you go.
Dude. The spark was so much harder
Sparks way harder number 34, 34 tax throttle body spacer, 's bro, You know, how many people I do that, ran these numbers and when you think about them is, how could they work right now?
It didn't even really have like jet vanes, like even if they are hit that, it would have to come to almost a complete.
Stop turn 90 degrees and then start spinning.
If anything they were in are restriction on those are those are the superchargers? Yeah.
Those were the eBay superheroes. Yeah were they were the base
superchargers? Yeah.
Coin my neck. Favorite one.
And I used to see these all the time.
And now they're gone. The hubcaps with the fake disc
brakes in them. So if you didn't have disc
brakes in the rear, that means you had a base model car, how do you fix that? You throwing some fucking,
hubcaps to make it look like you got disc, brakes, baby.
And if you weren't running steelies, they made one that went over your lugs and then you bolted your alloy wheel over there. It was a fake disc brake to
cover your drum. Oh my goodness.
Yes. How, how put?
I'm just sitting here shaking my head.
I've seen some crazy shit, but those are.
Those are pretty fucking crazy. We have one more.
What we have more than one more. We've got 24.
Let's get the fifth one out underglow, baby.
I don't know about. You may be in Arizona, it's a
big deal. Still here, the street, Racers
or the ricers, whatever you want to call them, nowadays under gloves. It's non-existent the
off-roaders though. Now have Rock lights but they'll
run them in Crazy colors. So it left the street, Racine
different off, words, Know that they're back.
That's something that. Yeah, that's something in the
90s they were, we called him. Neons.
Yeah. And now the undergoes are back
but now they're cool because you're using LEDs.
Like back in the day though. The problem with the under glows
like they would break a lot, they were like an expensive item to maintain. Yeah.
Yeah. But now with the LEDs I mean
you've got all these guys that are basically getting into cars now, but there are Computer Guy first so they have their RGB keyboard and now go sure. In a match that they've got the
RGB lights. I'll give you our true fifth
right now stick on Vince for cars.
Oh sure. Stick around the hood on the
side. Take the, not even 3M tape that
come with like this bullshit Alibaba tape, you get a vet.
You get a van. Yep, you can have it.
I want to see a guy pull up in a race truck with the underglow, but I wanted to because so the the infinity that I just bought thought it's got that we open the door and it's got the little emblem on the ground but I want to see a big truck pull up and then just spray on the ground. This like giant fucking Pac-Man
game and I want to watch Pac-Man kind of pecking around on the tarmac Chasing Ghosts and shit. We're all its 2021.
Why aren't we already doing that?
Seriously, seriously. You want to want to go pop
culture? We need a roll up and have them
Bluetooth connect and like you could do Pokemon games against the other guys door at night. Oh fuck.
Oh yeah, I Choose You. You throw your door open?
Do I have such a Nostalgia boner, you have no idea.
I would do. I would love that.
Aha, you didn't know, I throw my passenger door open.
Remember how saying that row? Pokemon go was like three, four
years ago. It was nothing like swept the
world. Imagine if Pokemon go had landed
around the same time as covid. What a flop.
Yeah. Yeah, everybody would have been
outside walking around with running, it would have been perfect. That's true.
All right. Now for the real actual number
five of our top 5 list, big fiberglass wings.
I don't know. That that's something people
don't do anymore. I haven't seen one in a long
time. It started with Wings West body
kits, and era beanie, and they had those big huge Judge fiberglass kits and then people they fell in love with the Super's spoiler. Who else had the big spoiler?
Was it the like the Evo, the Mitsubishi somebody had the big spoiler on the back, the double decker.
And then everybody had the double decker event like Center.
Ser the tommi mäkinen or whatever.
It was spoiler. Yeah, we're talking about that.
Exactly, it's a one horsepower out.
Mmm. Yeah.
The STI, is that with the veins? What generation is that with the
veins, the uprights and STI. Spoiler Jay.
You're asking the first general. Yeah, I don't know.
That's yeah, that's that's the big fat.
Yeah, that's what 92 to 94. STI, Known World rallying to be
2000. It was right out, 89.
They did have was vain in the center, those but right after the bug eyes, then, I don't, I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know. All right guys.
But right after bug eyes, when we got went from Dart WRX to actual sdi's. They had a dual vain, I broke
it. Okay, you gotta be real careful.
The reason why Coy's sang, the one after the bug-eye.
It's not because he doesn't know what they call the one after the bug-eye. It's because it's a little bit
racial, so he's trying to stay away from that.
Good job. That's not the chassis code.
No it's not but it's the colloquial has.
Yes they called it a slant. I okay.
Well we have standards on this show.
And I don't want to get cancelled because of that.
I said they did other people. They, I am not.
You just to be clear. I am 1/16 Cherokee and I have
DNA stuff to prove it so so after the bug I was the s word high as 2,000. That's the one that we're
talking about MSD a yes. Yes, that one had to leave a
note. Please.
Yeah. Yeah.
So I'm gonna go ahead and agree with you on all of those are all really good well you should because I mean we're right.
Yeah yeah of course that's why. On there.
So for the Q&A segment, sponsored by the credit mix, fix your credit. So this I am just so.
Usually what I do is I would it be if you were sponsored by credit week and your credit was actually super fucked up.
How ironic would that be? I mean they don't have to know
and I'm sorry to interrupt, I apologize.
I just I was sitting here thinking of myself.
Imagine imagine if Kauai night. Well, coin, I we both have great
credit mines, mines over 800, I'm sure yours is closed down.
Mine's, at least as high as my IQ.
So he's got a credit score to 90.
You guys represent. That's why you're so good
together. You get the whole Spectrum,
whatever, right. We're on the same Spectrum, I
just was wish it was an Autism, but we're there, you know, it's you guys are the pick one card or Race Across the United States. But here's the thing.
Can't have over 130 horsepower. Which one are you Takin?
Boy, hmm. We're going to dive in.
Do they're gonna give or take 30 horsepower because I don't know what I can just guess, what cars they don't have shit.
In fact, you guys had some shitty ass cars.
Couple episodes ago, I listened to when I was getting my covid shot. So you can't those work some
shitty cars. Yeah those are some shitty cars.
So you think about those cars you have to pick and you can't pick the the Chevy Spark. Okay, so I already know and I'm
you'll have to double fact-checked.
Me Lotus, Elise, not the American version but the European variant had a Range Rover motor in it.
That was wildly, underpowered and horrible.
But it was still the Lotus that we know and love.
So just imagine, I'm pretty sure they were like, 130 horsepower.
I think we're in like high 13s, didn't mid to high 30s because it weighed nothing hours did because 2zz motor in the European one? When they, because it came out
in Europe and like 99 or 2000 they came out here.
Like 2006, I believe and they upgraded the motor when they came here, I'm going to take a European spec Lotus Elise.
And by the way, the Europeans deserve that garbage spec car because they call French fries chips and they call chips crisps and they call their friends cunts.
And I'm just like, no, I'm always confused.
I get fish and chips and it's fries, what are you?
What are you? What are you taking Andy under
100 and would you say 30 horsepower?
I think so. And this is a race in my
understand that correctly. You have to be coy across the
United States is actually pretty easy one for me.
I'm going to do a Lincoln Town Car.
Because they're so choked down. They have virtually no
horsepower. But they do have a V8.
So there is some torque to be had there.
They're super plush, Super comfortable.
Could you imagine koi trying to sleep in this Lotus?
Elise this again. At least Irish how much hello
they have to have at least like I'm thinking 170 horsepower, right? The Lotus know the now that on
long car, he burp. I don't know about that, dude.
To be fair, I just fact check myself and the Ian one did have 134 horsepower, so he's already out of the I am cheating technique for over. Yeah, yeah.
So I'm going to go ahead and take a Crown Vic.
Take your Crown Vic. I am, I'm gonna take my Crown
Vic. It's going to have the crushed,
velour interior. If you ever been in one of those
cars, Jay, mmm, not handcuffs. I'm talking about like a like
the other ones, our it has a leather.
Yeah. They're very comfortable.
Yeah. You can whether a charge
pleather, you can see now, you know, you can put your head hands behind your head, like you can really kick back in those.
So not only am I winning, but I'm winning and comfort.
Those are very nice. And here's the thing.
Jay, here's the thing. So I don't know where exactly
I'm catching up with koi, because, obviously, we're starting at different spots that way.
He doesn't know what my car looks like.
That's going to be important for me.
No, we're doing. I don't know where.
No, I'm gonna back up. We're doing Cannonball.
Run rules, you know? You're both there.
So you have to race to your car and then get the hell out of there, right? And then when you get to finish
raising up the race of punch that ticket, why don't know.
If you've ever watched a classic amazing, one of the one of the best Bruce Willis movies ever called The Jackal.
Yes, I'm going to paint my car's a weird order of the jackals.
He kissed some other guy. Yeah, well I mean it wasn't It
wasn't cheating on his wife because he was gonna kill the guy later. Yeah.
Right. The way it works.
Like if you kiss, another dood and then you kill him later, then that doesn't change the status of your sexual doesn't.
It's just a just a stupid job zero-sum.
You made the kiss, which moves your sexuality up, and then you kill them, which moves it back down.
So, you know, really, he didn't move the needle at all.
If you, I need you to not. Look at the the to our scale.
I need you to look at the 24-hour scale.
But anyways, I'm gonna paint my car with that paint that I can just wash right off. I'm going to do that
immediately. And then I know this for a fact
because I've been writing with koi before when this happens, he's gonna be barreling down the highway at 115 miles an hour, and he is going to see what appears to be a cop car in his rearview mirror and he is going to slam on his brakes and move all the way over in the slow lane, possibly even exit off of the highway thinking that he needs to get away from this cop.
Meanwhile guess what? Motherfucker, that was me.
I was you that Crown Vic. Why?
Hold on past, I like that and that might work, you forgot that I'm doing a cross country race. I started this race Chuck full
of trucker speed and I'm not, I'm gonna finish that way.
So you act like you're going to stop and sleep.
I'll sleep. When I'm dead literally, I'm a
diet before it it. So you're gonna you're gonna do
like that astronaut member that astronaut who drove across the country in a fucking diaper to catch her cheating husband or some shit. Yeah.
Oh yeah. That's the thing boys.
Never put in. A catheter before but he's gonna
fucking learn. I mean, this is I am fluent at
paying a Red Bull can, and when you throw it out the window, it just looks like you dropped half a can of Redbull.
So, even really littering next question.
Last question. And this is another crappy
question, was a short Q&A buddy. It is with each a long answers
favorite scene or favorite car movie and it had it could be most unrealistic. What is what do you like to
watch over and over again? If the world loves her the world
hates it, you don't care. Okay.
Think about this. movie, one of the greatest cinematic Pleasures
I've ever had the opportunity to watch 200 miles an hour, You sure what about red light? No, 200 miles an hour.
Still beats it out. That is one of the greatest
Automotive movies in history. Never heard of it.
I highly recommend that not only, I don't want you to be high when you watch those movies and I'm sorry fires, like a real movie edible? No, it's a real movie.
It's a real movie. It's called go check it out.
It's called 200 miles an hour. 200 miles, don't don't just be
high, don't smoke weed and then watch this movie, I need you to eat Edibles. I need you to wait three hours.
A hours and then I need you to do some fat dabs, you have to be completely gone. If you want to cross fade a
little bit, that's okay. To go ahead and get yourself
start having an out-of-body experience.
I'm limits should never be crossed.
That's literally on the movie poster.
This is one of the greatest people talk about how the Fast and Furious is one of the greatest.
Retracing movies of all time, Nene, 200 miles, an hour, 200 mph for those. Out there in the UK.
Yeah, I had to write it actually to write it twice because the first time look like it's I wrote like Zoom with, so they had to put the little space. Now, it's 200, space.
Eh. So can we just, can I talk about
that movie star just a quick Insider baseball for people?
Jay and about four days is going to text me what in the real and actual fuck. And that's all the text is going
to say but I'm going to know exactly what he's talking about.
You really do need to watch that movie.
I if I had thought of that first I would have put it out there.
It is so good. Bad.
Bad bad. Good, bad, good?
It's yeah, it's something else at a certain point.
You feel like, like, did they actually have a budget because some of the props, like when they zoom in, on the speedometer says PSI, but you can see how they waited it out.
Stuff like that. Yeah.
And when it says CD, so when was this movie made?
I'm picturing like a 1982 movie, dude.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't that old because wasn't just like Justin Pollock The Drifters. It's been like the tech Yes, he
was supposed to apparently did nothing.
They had a pro Drifter as their technical coordinator, which just actually proves my theory that Drifters are the worst car people on the planet. The first thing you'll notice is
he's driving on a green Arc 7 and every time you'll see him like throw the steering wheel like he's, you know, flying around a corner, it zooms out and and like an S14 240SX goes sliding around the corner. It's green.
In with a wing, it's similar but clearly a different car and then just goes back to him like any car guy wouldn't notice.
It was a completely different car.
And that same sliding Corner action happens for five times the movie, The Very say using it every single time.
Yeah. It's sort of like, humor
watching Scooby-Doo cartoons when you're a kid and they would run past the same armoire and nightstand like a dozen times.
It was that kind of a thing. Quite you have a movie.
Here's ocean movement, I do. It is called the Rendezvous.
It is an old old, like, 70s movie.
It's, I don't know my Ferraris, but it's in an older cool Ferrari. It actually doesn't matter
because they dubbed in the engine meet sound.
Yeah, it's an older Ferrari and they were ripping this thing through Paris. And there's no, there's no plot.
There's no talking. Just a dude gets in a Ferrari
and starts driving through Paris.
What would somebody told me? And I never actually fact check.
This is they actually got a lot of trouble because they didn't pull any permits for this movie. They just took this Ferrari and
just went Balls to the walls through Paris for two.
Three hours, wasn't actually it over our I've heard this before.
I think somebody famous is said that's their favorite movie too.
It's and then at the very end, he finally pulls out on this Bluff and gets out. And then you know this stunning
French chick walks out like give him a hug and it's you know, kind of Sunset and the end and that's it.
Yep. But it's knows Rendezvous.
Yeah, it's just no talking, just just Ferrari engine sounds and just ripping through Paris, and if I may actually want to give an honorable mention to something, it's not a film, it's a series of films. Films.
It's called BMW films on Clive Owens.
Yeah yeah. Clive Owens as the driver in BMW
films and there's anyone, listening this podcast that is not watched those. It's easy.
Just go to YouTube and type in BMW films the driver and you'll have two seasons worth of these videos.
Every single video has a different high profile director, that was in them. They all have different
high-profile actors. And, um, McDonough, Don Cheadle
again, koala, interesting mean, they All.
Yeah, they all are super high budget, short films, produced by BMW and they are amazing. I think the first one that got
it so famous and started out had Madonna and yeah and even back in the day it had the was that was it like 741 one of the punk bands? Like kind of put one of their
songs on it that was a hit and you know it was a it was a big deal. Yeah.
That song woohoo. Because I can't spell it now
don't try to spell it and just so, you know it's like just so you know when you when you do try to spell rendezvous and something pops up in like 2005, I'm going to say Nissan tried to remake that with a 350Z for like an advertisement, it was no good trash. So, don't watch it as 350Z.
Well, it's got VQ noises which is just not It sounds like a penguin forgotten into a Solo Cup.
It just is awful. I'm trying to imagine what that
sounds like. Here, let me give you a little
taster here. That's just.
