Is it Time for a ‘Mustang III’? That & MORE in Our NEW ‘Roundup’
About this episode
Hosts kick off a “Mustang Roundup” special, mixing community stories, event talk, and a behind-the-scenes look at ordering a performance Mustang. They debate how much tech to show, arguing for simple buttons over screen hunting. Listener mailbag ideas include a segment built around owner photos and videos. The show also covers a 50th-anniversary event at Carlyle Ford Nationals, a twin-turbo “505 Cubacage Ford BigBug,” and a humorous dealership reveal tied to a long-held dream from 1984.
We asked, you responded, and we listened. So here it is – an ALL-NEW format for our Mustang Owner’s Podcast that incorporates several different aspects of the Mustang hobby all in a single, fast-paced episode that we call the “Mustang Roundup.” Why did we try this? Because we’d received so many emails about how we can keep growing the Mustang Owner’s Podcast that we thought it’s time to test out some format enhancements.
You’ll recall that John spent a whole episode seeking your input here:
It’s Time for Some Mods to Our Podcast –And Your Comments Will Fuel What We Do! Your responses helped us put this first effort together, incorporating many of the “Mods” you suggested in the Comments section and emailed to [email protected].
We’d love to hear what you think.
People who’ve known John for many years will see similarities between this Mustang Owner’s Podcast “Roundup” trial episode and John’s popular cable access TV Show, which moved to YouTube years ago as CarsInContextTV - YouTube (Go ahead and check it out for yourself!). He figured, what worked then may still work now! But we’ll let you be the judge. So get set for a new podcast experience by watching til the end:

My Mustang Story:
You’re not gonna believe the story about how Ryan Girardot snagged his 2024 S650 Mustang GT on the same day he was supposed to be picking up a new Escape for his wife. (Yes, she’s still with him. Blame it on Mustang love that dates back to 1984.)
Mustang Mailbag:
John: An idea about sharing Mustang owners stories prompts a suggestion from one of the podcast’s biggest fans.

Aston Martin Rapide
"Hé, coudons, t'as un oiseau rapide en chichi, toi. Ben, monsieur le dindon, je boite..."
The Aston Martin Rapide is a luxury four-door car made by Aston Martin. It’s designed to feel sporty to drive while still being comfortable for everyday use. In the podcast, it’s mentioned as a particular model.
The Aston Martin Rapide is a luxury performance sedan (a four-door) that blends high-end comfort with a sports-car driving experience. It’s often discussed because it’s a distinctive, niche model in Aston Martin’s lineup, appealing to owners who want both practicality and performance. The podcast’s French/banter context suggests it was brought up as a specific car example.
5 Le Car
"...t un peu pire, non, je peux toujours faire unırer le car. Je ne pense pas que le car est dans le S197."
“5” isn’t enough information to know which car you mean. Car models usually have a full name (like make + model), and “5” could refer to many different vehicles. If you share the surrounding words, I can explain the correct car.
The podcast reference to “5” is too ambiguous to identify a specific car model on its own. Without the transcript showing the full name (for example, the make/model or a clearer phrase around it), it’s not possible to provide an accurate explanation for the intended vehicle.
2024 S650 Mustang
"Well, he sees a new 2024 S650 Mustang 30 years later. And you think the guy be over it by now, right?"
The 2024 S650 Mustang is the newest version of the Ford Mustang. “S650” is just Ford’s way of labeling this generation of the car, so it helps enthusiasts tell which Mustang redesign they mean.
The 2024 S650 Mustang is the current-generation Ford Mustang, and the “S650” code is Ford’s internal chassis/generation identifier for this redesign. It’s the platform that brings the latest Mustang styling and tech compared with earlier Mustang generations.
Shelby Gt350
"What about having Mocsom host the Shelby GT350 reunion on the Thursday"
A Shelby Mustang is a Mustang that’s been upgraded by Shelby to be faster and more performance-oriented. It’s still a Mustang, but with changes meant to improve how it drives. The podcast is likely referencing it as part of the Shelby owner community.
A Shelby Mustang refers to a Mustang that’s been tuned and built by Shelby for higher performance than the base model. It’s discussed because Shelby versions are typically aimed at enthusiasts who want more power, braking, and driving feel. In the context of the podcast, it’s likely being mentioned alongside the GT350 reunion topic.
Shelby GT350
"What about having Mocsom host the Shelby GT350 reunion on the Thursday"
The Shelby GT350 is a special, more performance-focused version of the Mustang. It’s made to drive harder and handle better than a standard Mustang. That’s why owners often get together around this model.
The Shelby GT350 is a high-performance Mustang variant built by Shelby, designed for sharper handling and stronger track-oriented driving. It’s significant because it represents one of the most enthusiast-focused eras of the Mustang lineup, so reunions and owner events often center around it. The podcast mention suggests the episode is tying into community activities for GT350 owners.
