Cars on Call is going bi-weekly. We think this will provide a better product, and we hope our listeners and viewers will agree.

Car spotting — Adams saw a New VW GTI and loved how it’s a cool sporty car for everyone 
Steve-0 talks about Air Water Porsche show in Orange County, Ca
Adams Nissan Z rant  - They took a great car and ruined it!
Steve-0 rant — Robert Eaton was a momentous figure in the auto industry, and not for good. If not for him Chrysler would be alive and American rather that Euro and dying
Crazy car deals — Adams went to a Porsche Cars and Coffee and came home with *two* more Porsches. 
Then Steve-0 talks about a Duke faculty member who sold a crappy old Dodge Omni by bundling it with tickets to the Duke-Michigan basketball game which featured the “Fab Five”

New Renault Alpine A110s were spotted testing in Fla. Will the divine A110 come to the US? We definitely hope so!
5/1/2024 is the 30th anniversary of Aryton Sennas death. We discuss this great and complicated figure.
Trauma surgeon safety
The Porsche 911 turbo turns 50 this year. We say happy birthday! Adams talks about its history and evolution then lists the 5 most collectible models. And then the three of us pick our all-time favorite 911 turbo.

Finally, Steve-0 takes Mercedes to task for dumping too many EQS BEVs on their dealers (who don't want them), having to cut EQS prices by OMG $20,000, and for insisting on making their heretofore wonderful V8 C63 sedan a four-cylinder hybrid. We predict tepid sales.

News: Supra isn’t selling. Just 484 in Q1, less than 671 Nissan 400Zs (and way less than 1930 Porsche 911s or 8600 Corvettes).

#carsoncallpodcast #steveautos #traumasurgeonsafetyWe celebrate the Ford Mustang's 60th birthday!

A new Toyota 4Runner is coming and we have a lot to say about it.

Adams spotted a Gen 2 Toyota MR2. He likes it, but Steve-0 doesn't.

Trauma surgeon Stephan Moran MD talks self-driving cars, starting with the recent Tesla settlement with the family of an Apple engineer who died behind the wheel of a Model X using Autopilot in California, and moving on to active driver assistance systems (ADAS), which he believes should always include driver monitoring systems (DMS).

Adams eulogizes the Audi R8, which just went out of production. It was a great car.

Steve-0 discusses Mansory, the luxury car personalization company in Germany that takes high end cars like Rolls Royces or Bentleys and "enhances" them with garish colors inside and out and other outlandish embellishments. We hate.

News: Easter wknd is *the* Jeep off road event of the year in Moab, UT. Jeep typically brings a few concepts for their most active fans, and this year they brought 4 good ones.

Ford halted production of their best-selling F-150 because sales are softening. GM and Ram are also experiencing a slow down in sales of their full size pickups. We blame climbing interest rates and higher prices.

Trauma surgeon safety: CoC trauma surgeon Dr Stephan Moran discusses the fact that the well-publicized death of billionaire Angela Chao in a submerged Tesla Model X was complicated by the fact that Ms Chao was drunk. Then he goes into drunk driving (and scootering) in general.

CoC spots a 2020 Ford Mustang Mach 1

Steve-0 visited the incredible Ingram Porsche collection in Durham, NC. He describes it (hard to do it justice, honestly).

Finally, Adams goes through the different kinds of car collectors and collections as well as what makes a collection great, good, or bad. And the guys say which cars they'd buy for their dream collections.

News: the 2025 Euro Audi A3 will require buyers to pay subscription fees for adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and dual zone climate control. We hate this but it's not going away, regrettably.

Collector car expert Adams Hudson eulogizes the great Italian automotive designer Marcelo Gandini, who's portfolio includes the original BMW 5-series, Lamborghini Miura and Countach, and Renaut R5 Turbo.

Our trauma surgeon Dr Stephan Moran discusses Angela Chao's death in a Tesla Model X after it sank into a pond and teaches us how to survive if your car gets submerged in water.

Adams spots a 1989 Buick Reatta. You don't see many of those anymore.

We revisit interiors. Our trauma surgeon talked about the safety benefits of the Ineos Grenadier interior with buttons instead of screens last week, and we know that the popular current 4Runner interior looks just like one 10yrs ago. We get into how interiors make a difference in attraction and collectability in addition to safety.

Finally we each pick our #1 favorite interiors of all time.
