It was a dream come true for me. Spending time driving the Maserati GranTurismo and the Cabrio Trofeo...it was a reminder that driving can still be a work of art. 

Then I catch up with Tanner Foust at Roadkill Nights - we talk everything from muscle cars to the future of EV. Great insight 

Absolute honor to talk car culture with one of the biggest influencers on the planet - Dan Pund is the Editor in Chief of Road & Track. Dan is full of insight and genuine love for the auto industry..and it shows in this conversation. 

How good can a sound system be in a vehicle? Had my mind blown by the folks at Klipsch - what they've done in the RAM Truck Tungsten edition is amazing...and what does a connected car really mean? I have a theory of what it SHOULD mean after spending a week with the Nissan Z. 

After an amazing British Grand Prix, we talk #FormulaOne with Chris Medland (F1TV, Sirius/XM) - plenty to touch on:

• Is Lando really back in the title hunt?
• Where is Max Verstappen going next year?
• Does Nico's podium change how Cadillac looks at it's drivers lineup? 

Deep dive into one of the most compelling F1 seasons in recent history. 

This is NOT my normal style of podcast. Recorded at 4:30am in the studio here in Detroit (before my morning show) - sipping coffee and thinking about my week with the 2025 Ford F-150 Hybrid. The evolution of the truck to a true daily driver, and the guy who sold me his FX4 back in 2010 because they'd started a family. 

I was little bit introspective on this one - but I'm proud of it.

Roman De Angelis is one of the best young drivers in the world - in ANY series of racing. We're very fortunate to have him here with #IMSA for the Detroit Grand Prix this weekend (www.detroitgp.com for tickets). Make sure to look for his green #23 Aston Martin Valkyrie prototype this weekend. 

We talk racing here in Detroit, the downtown track, his experiences at LeMans and more. 

Always cool to hang out with Ricky Taylor and talk Detroit Grand Prix - his pass for the win in the IMSA race last year was the stuff of legend. We grabbed some burgers and talked racing. Also: 

• Reviewing a couple of Kia's (the 2025 Carnival Mini-van and the new K4 GT Line)
• What can you do with Monaco? The two stop strategy didn't work (obviously) 

Fun conversation with NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski and Michigan International Speedway President Joe Fowler about the upcoming race at MIS first week of June (mispeedway.com for tickets). Then I give some initial driving impressions of the RAM Rebel X truck (guess what, I love it). 

The #Detroit Grand Prix is coming back to downtown Detroit at the end of the month (tickets at detroitgp.com) - caught up with #IndyCar driver Santino Ferrucci and #IndyNXT rising star Myles Rowe to talk racing, pizza and movies. 

Spent a couple weeks with two Toyotas - the Crown Signia and the Tundra TRD Rally edition - both of them amazing rides, but it went deeper than that. We talk about the path Toyota is on...and why I love it. 

Then Josef Newgarden talks about the hybrid technology being used at the Indy500 this year and how it'll impact the race (remember, this was introduced AFTER the 500 last year)
