You know, sometimes you come across something that someone says that is SO DUMB that it shakes you to your core, makes you re-evaluate all of your life decisions, and bring it all over to your goofy car show. So that's what's up this week! We love you everyone, this day, the next day, the next day that is made of three days, and every day after!

We start this week's show on a very somber note as we discuss the tragedy of Ken Block's death. It's a massive loss to the automotive enthusiast community. We reflect on how Ken inspired us, how delightful his presence was, and what we can do moving forward to honor his legacy. We love you everyone.

In this episode we discuss Ian's Planes, Trains, and Automobiles family travel craziness and a discussion around Southwest airlines tech issues and how it dovetails into car manufacturer technology. Don't worry though, if you thought we'd let news about a self-pleasuring walrus not make it onto the show, you are WRONG.

Whew! What an effin year, right? In this show we get our pack together and play the last license plate game of the year, Ian gives us his top 10 albums, and we reflect on how this year has impacted us. We love you!

It's the end of an era and we feel...a bit sad? In this episode we discuss the departure of Toyota's sedan big boi, the Avalon, as well as some other end-of-an-era options in cars. After we're done pouring one out, we crack open a fresh Craigslist Automotive Alignment chart and get to work! We love you!

Stuff gets a bit silly this week in an episode that starts pretty normal. Ian had the chance to drive our good buddy Peedah's Audi S4 and is still buzzing from the experience. After that, well, we start talking about BMW b-holes and whatnot...so yeah. We love you!

Racer. Instructor. Podcaster. All-around stand-up dude Mental Ward joins on the show this week! You may know him from his fantastic amateur endurance racing podcast Everyone Racers, or his occasional Lemons wrap-up video appearances. Come on and snug up in the virtual blanket fort with us and we have a great time talking to Mental.

In this episode we dive deep into a wild Craigslist listing that our buddy Aaron sent us, from which we devise a new fun feature! Back that up with a bit of Ian rental car chat and some Jebus plates, and you've got a show. We love you!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Look, if you're trapped in the car with a loved one then we feel for you. If you'd indulge us just for a bit, we go down memory lane and reflect on some of the things that we're thankful for this year. Most of all, we're thankful for you! Please stay safe, take care, enjoy your holiday time, and remember that we love you.

Fantastic friend of the show, the always delightful and insightful Jake Thiewes is back on the show this week! Join us as we wrap up Jake's Spec3 racing season, the wonderful Out Motorsports events, and dip into some sedan-centric talk as we run down three heavy hitters in the segment.
