264-Oops All Bicycles! Almost.
You speak, we listen. Mostly. Sometimes. Anyway, what are we talking about? Cars. Nope! Bicycles. And then some cars too. Thanks Daniel for suggesting this, it was a really fun episode. We love you everyone!
263-I Gotchoo Boo
In this week's episode Ian's been having a time. In typical fashion, Dave is ready and waiting with the automotive podcast equivalent of a hot cup of tea and a well-worn book by the fireplace. After all, what is our show without equal parts therapy session, car stuff, and sheep-based mood assessments. You read that correctly. We love you.
262-Ian The De-Escalator
Cool. Calm. Collective. A friggin ice cube under pressure. When weird stuff goes down, and it has gone down, Ian's expert hands know how to handle the situation. Besides our cooler Ian diffusing an INSANE situation, we have a whole bunch of listener stuff that you goofballs sent us. Thank you, we love you!
261-Take Me Away Venus Daddy!!!
In this week's episode Ian screams into the sky, wishing his celestial Calgon vanquish him from the hellscape that is our present tundra. Dave? Oh, he just brags about beating the pants off of his skyward-bound co-host in Fantasy F1. We love you.
260-We've Been Doing This For FIVE YEARS?!?!?!
Wow. Five years. In this, our 5th anniversary show, we reflect on how far we've come, how fantastic our listeners are, and how clutch this show has been for both of us. Thank you. Thank you so much everyone, we love you.
259-Ian Learns To Read, Vanity Plates That Is
Wow. Ian's reading of vanity plates is...something. It's not that he gets them wrong, but he certainly makes them more fun. Look, if you're going to broadcast when you graduated from an Ivy League college by way of DMV purchases then I'm not sure what else to tell you. We love you everyone.
258-Goodbye TurboX, Hello Alltrack!
Parting with a car can be difficult, especially when you are also parting with the idea or the potential of what that vehicle could be. In this week's episode we discuss Ian finally letting go of his beloved Saab TurboX SportCombi and how he feels about the newest addition to the Apex Adjacent garage.
257-Donnie And Birdman: An Automotive Ownership Overlap Evaluation
There's having cars, then there's having CARS. Our good buddy Donnie certainly has had some CARS, so when the prospect of Donnie doing a deep dive on how his automotive ownership has overlapped with the famous rappington rapper of rapperies, Birdman, we had no choice but to beam him in to the virtual blanket fort and provide a platform for what is certainly one of the best Microsoft PowerPoint presentations ever made. We love you everyone, stay safe.
256-The Adventures Of Hat Bro And Golf Boi
Who you gonna call when you need a JDM camper van that may leave you stranded on mountain passes? Who could answer the call to provide transportation that lulls you to sleep as you comfortably waft from the board room to the tee box? Hat Bro and Golf Boi!
255-Ian's Idiotitis Mutates And Dave Daves Luther's Maintenance Schedule
When Dr. Ian is your consulting physician in your oddball automotive purchasing decision, the results are guaranteed to be nothing less than fantastic and adorable.
254-It Puts The Lotion On The Door Skin Or It Gets The Hose Again
In this week's episode we dig deep on a super odd car sent to us by way of our buddy Eric. We also discuss some less nightmare-ish topics such as Peedah's amazing E36 M3 and spotting a pre-production Cadillac V.
253-Dave Solves The Button Mystery!
It's not really the most fiscally responsible way of figuring out what those weird passenger seat buttons are on a Lexus, but we're not your normal automotive podcast, are we? We love you.
252-Ian And Dave And Jonny!
In this week's episode our show is graced by our longtime friend Jonny. Jonny is an amazing auto detailer and a walking Pontiac knowledge base, so naturally we show him one of the weirdest Pontiac-based things ever.
251-Tantric Mechanic And Rogue Johnsons
In this week's episode, we discuss Ian's hyper-contagious condition, which in someways is worse than our current pandemic, shrug emoji? We also entertain ourselves with a very not-wacky Nissan Rouge with an absolutely bonkers nickname. We love you. Stay home and stay safe everyone.
250-A Milestone Episode With Special Guests!
BIG thanks to Jesse, Donnie, and Peedah for dropping in and guesting on our 250th episode! We had a lot of fun talking Fantasy F1 and Fiats with Jesse, bonkers Florida tales with Donnie, and lockdown pastimes with Peedah. Thank you everyone for listening, we're looking forward to putting out 250 more! We love you.
249-Everything Still Sucks But At Least We Play A New Game!
Ugh. The world is still a crapshow, and crappy things continue to be done by crappy people, further exposing their crappiness. Like I said earlier, Ugh. If it's any consolation, we introduce a new game featuring vanity license plates! We love you.
248-Sausage Yearning And The Old Man Sedan Dilemma
Our resident ginger is in a bit of a pickle with his Old Man Sedan Infiniti M45 as he has finally found the source of the car's overheating issue. In typical fashion, Ian offers a very elegant and practical solution. Sure. We love you everyone, stay home and stay safe.
247-McKinley Thompson Jr. The First Major African American Automobile Designer.
In this week's episode we discuss the first African American automotive designer for a major corporation, McKinley Thompson Jr. He contributed to some incredibly amazing designs throughout his career, and we're really thankful to be able to reflect on his legacy and his artistic vision.
246-Why Politics And Car Culture Can Never Be Separated.
In this week's episode we pick up where we left off last week. We reflect on the events of the last few weeks and our take-away thoughts that have come up since our last show. We also talk about how politics and car culture can never be separated, and throw in some of our usual goofball antics. Stay home, stay safe, take care of yourselves and others. We love you everyone.
245
This isn't a normal episode for us, and these are certainly not normal times. If you're looking for an escape from current events and news, we'd suggest you check out another one of our episodes or videos, just want to let you know that right off the hop. Given the recent events, the brutal murder of George Floyd at the hands of police officers, the government using armed forces to intimidate our fellow citizens, and the awful shift toward fascism that we're currently faced with, It's just not the right moment for us to do a zany car show.
244-Reckless! Not Really.
Go ahead and insert your own guitar solo noises as often as you'd like during this episode, especially during the part where we discuss a VERY BOLD declarative vanity plate on an otherwise middle of the road sports car. In addition to our reckless ranting, we talk about the stuff you wonderful goofballs sent us. Thank you, stay home, stay safe, and we love you!
243-Tetanus And Tragedy
It's not often that we wander into an even remotely good idea, but here we are, firmly planted in our new business idea, Tetanus and Tragedy. Stay safe everyone, we love you.
242-Nice On The Outside, Not So Much On The Inside.
In this week's episode we discuss a very VERY green Porsche as well as get updates from Ian's dad, an FMKCars from our buddy Eric, and some great Craigslist finds from our buddy Marc. We love you everybody, stay home, and stay safe.
241-Chief Investigator Ian And Deputy Dave Dive Into A Carstanza Query
Oh we get INTO it this week! Queue the Law and Order theme music! Our dear friend Marc sent us a perplexing Carstanza, so we decide to dig in, live-ish on air to show you REAL CARSTANZA INVESTIGATION IN REAL TIME!
240-Ian Is The Automotive Leeroy Jenkins And Both Of Dave's Cars Are Broken
In this week's episode we unearth Ian's video game and virtual track day spirit animal, so to speak. Dave's cars are both in need of mending, and he thinks he knows what started it all. Stay safe everyone, we love you.
