Guest Nile Livesey of PRN Test Drive is calling in tonight, and we pay a visit to his channel that's full of obscure 80s and 90s cars. We look into the past and chat about a semi-automatic transmission in a Honda Civic, Nile's ongoing BMW 740iL project, and what his plans for the future are with it. 

An episode catered after numerous reader questions on the topic, we cover all things autocross. What do you need to know if you're a first timer? What car should you bring? Does it wear out your car? We answer these and provide a comprehensive how-to on introduction to motorsport, and how the grassroots community around autocross is one of the best. We bring podcast alumni and autocross veteran Louis Vo in for this round of chat. 

Along with friend of the podcast and prominent automotive journalist Dan Heyman, we're setting out to discuss formative moments in our lives, and the cars that were around them. What did we learn to drive on? What cars were around for the births of our kids, our weddings and engagements? Dan also talks about the new 2020 Nissan Sentra, and we touch on the new Altima that Jerry recently tested. 

We're diving down the rabbit hole that is movie and television cars. Starting with the obvious Fast & Furious franchise and going down memory lane with The Love Bug, Gone in 60 Seconds, and many more. Plus, Thomas seems to believe that the car casting in The Big Bang Theory is also noteworthy. 

We're jamming out with our friends Thomas and James from Throttle House, answering your questions. We find out that James' last name actually means Englishman, and that Thomas has continued to make wonderful decisions around buying old BMWs for pennies on the dollar. 

We have frequent visitor to the podcast Louis Vo in the house, formerly of our magazine and now of Subaru Canada. We're talking about automotive video games old and new, from our new obsession with Assetto Corsa to our decades-long addiction to the Grand Theft Auto franchise. We also touch on where we are with our existing garages and what we'd like to expand to. 

We're chatting with auto journalist Jeff Wilson, and talking all things cars! Jeff has owned a plethora of cars from boosted Subarus to BMWs, Audis, and two Lexus LS'. One might say he's a man of taste. Listen in! 

We're once again in our self-isolated studios, with frequent guest of the podcast Shari Prymak of ReadySetDrive.ca. We answer a bunch of reader questions, and touch on points including the new Genesis G80, the redesigned Toyota Highlander, and how you can go from driving a Lamborghini Huracan to riding the bus. Listen in.

While social distancing has caused us to adapt into an over-the-air podcast rather than in our usual studio, we're driving some pretty relevant vehicles. In the garage is a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with three pedals, a new Subaru Outback Premier, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. We answer some of our reader/listeners' questions and also compare the Grand Cherokee to the Toyota 4Runner. 

In the studio this time around is a battle of the off-roaders, the 2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro and the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. We have some differing opinions. Also, we have the Nissan Altima AWD, Ram EcoDiesel and the Honda CR-V Black Edition that's exclusive to Canada.
