If you're in the area and would like to join us for a show, send us a message! We don't open the studio every week, but we always enjoy good company. \nOn this weeks episode, Koenigsegg randomly decided to take their Sadair’s Spear, which is a more track focused Jesko, over to Laguna Seca and break the lap record! Of course to do that they had to put the worlds ugliest muffler on it to comply with Laguna Seca's noise ordinances. We still love it and we're always glad to see Christian Von Koenigsegg breaking records and pushing limits. We also discuss Motorcycle etiquette, Whitworth and JIS tools, and a YouTuber we think you should be watching with your family, Matt Spears. \nWhile talking about the Rever mapping app, which is really useful for finding curvy roads, we talk about how AI could potentially replace all these apps very easily. What useful ways are you using AI today in your cars? \nThe Avants Podcast is brought to you by our friends at STEK USA and Carter Seattle!\nNot an Avants member? https://www.avants.com/member-plans\nLeave us a review on Apple Podcasts! \nLeave us a voicemail or send us a text any time at 425-298-7873!\nWe're doing give aways!
