December 06, 2015 15-Soup Bowls with Extra Anatomy, Ian Makes Feelings Happen, and Idiots Continue to be Idiots
Episode 15 - It's chaos in the blanket fort!

Ian's responsible for a talk about feelings, there's porn on my soup bowl, and we're both really excited about a Volvo.

From the emotional low of the Pirelli calendar backlash, to the high of a coworker finally understanding what the hell you're talking about, we've got some ground to cover (and some anatomy to draw) this time around.

November 30, 2015 14-Prog Rock Twinesmanship and Forced Fours Versus Natural Sixes
Episode 14

The eyes of the blanket fort turn to the Italian auto industry, with only a few small pit stops along the way to discuss prog rock, Toyota's attitude towards enthusiasts and "styling by sturgeon". This round of FMK cars gives birth to the friendliest superhero ever, gets Ian in trouble with his wife, and nets Dave a new/old friend.

Here's a link to the crazy John McAfee article on Wired. Sheesh.

November 23, 2015 13-Espresso-Deprived Engine Groans and Ferrari's Slow Cousin
Episode 13

It turns out the Ford Motor Company does not listen to the advice of old-before-their-ages amateur podcasters before making major decisions about the corporate strategy of their luxury automobile brands. We exact revenge by performing our first review in what is a glorious -- if temporarily -- feelings-free blanket fort.

November 17, 2015 12-Cheese-Scented Keys to the Blanket Fort of Feelings
Episode 12

Dave redesigned the blanket fort, or is it actually the lair for the worst Bond villain ever?

A lair would be fitting this week, since talking about lots of heroes - heroes at the Vehicle Vault-hosted Cars and Coffee putting huge engines in small cars, heroic kart track employees, and potential for Saab racing heroism from your humble hosts.

Also, Dave has a toy car and Ian's baby has added the rotten cheese option to the VW key. So, yeah: meet the new blanket fort, same as the old blanket fort.

November 15, 2015 11-Virgin Shovels, Rap Air Horn Apps and Man-Sorry
Episode 11

Sometimes you make a proclamation so tentative you need to sacrifice some virgins just to be sure. This week's "all clear" for the TeamClearCoat garage is no exception.

Dave confronts the existence of the awful Man-Sorry tuning house, while Ian fumbles for a connection between an album he likes and Regular Car Reviews.

Oh, and at least one of us is too damn old for SEMA.

View the full episode description for links! In this case, we formally apologize for making you see the awful cars over at Mansory.

November 10, 2015 10-Just A Couple of Poor Men With Nipple Stickers
In which we reintroduce ourselves and manage to be no more articulate than we were in episode 1. In Dave and Ian are going to be poor news, Ian reveals his other money-pit hobby, and Dave lays out the long road ahead of us getting his other Saab into LeMons. We take check, money order, cash, paypal, welding help, sandwiches, or nipple stickers.

November 06, 2015 09-Taffy-Fueled Track Days and TurboX Woes Bros
It's all about love stories this time on TeamClearCoat: the love Ian's Saab mechanic has for his broken TurboX, Dave's love for an amazing gearshift, and one for the ages: the love between two men and a hugely lifted AMC Eagle SX Coupe. Oh, and there's a little bit about Italian yogurt too.

November 01, 2015 08-Sugar Rushing Gingers and Smashed Up...Thank You - Sorry
What happened to Mitsubishi? Just how attractive ARE Dave's smashed-up genitals? How many times can we talk about Lycra cycling clothes on a podcast ostensibly about cars? Episode 8 is all about unanswered questions (and genitals, obviously).

October 26, 2015 07-A Very Special TeamClearCoat Episode
Dave pulls on his NPR corduroys and plays good cop/nicer cop in an interrogation about Ian's first race weekend. Yes, folks, it's a VERY SPECIAL TeamClearCoat episode. Get your kerchiefs, the feelings are a-comin'.

October 17, 2015 06-Exploring Each Others Feet...and Feelings
Ian attempts a motorsports intervention to understand why Dave doesn't watch F1, but in typical TeamClearCoat fashion, we get distracted and end up talking about YouTube rally videos and Walter Rohl's superpower. Dave also reveals his dismal car history in FMK cars before another attempt at making Ian FEEL THINGS.
