Fuel for Thought

Toronto is known for many things; the CN tower, rude people, nice cars, but one unexpected aspect of the city has been hitting headlines recently.

Believe it or not, towing wars are getting more common in the greater Toronto area. The free-reign for tow truck drivers has created a situation where wars over turf has created a dangerous situation for the public. Reckless driving, fist fights and even deaths have been linked to this crazy tow frenzy. In this episode, Kevin and I break down exactly what happened, how law enforcement got involved, and what you need to know to avoid getting in the middle of this.

We've heard ample about the history of Formula 1, the landmark era of the Ford GT40 and 24 hours of Le Mans, but something has always been missing from the picture. That something is Lamborghini. Why did they not have a race car for these historical points in race history? Why weren't they involved in Formula 1 or Le Mans in any capacity?

In this episode, Kevin and I uncover one of the coolest race cars ever built and its associated tumultuous history. It turns out Lamborghini took a stab at starting a racing legacy but unforeseen circumstances cut their legs out from under them. This is a good one, so buckle in!

Ever wonder what limited production numbers really means? Apparently not much at the Italian carmaker Ferrari.

The Ferrari Enzo supposedly had 399 cars out in the world, which directly determined the value of the existing cars for owners and investors.

More recently, they have come under fire for fudging the numbers of cars that were actually produced and depending on the source the figure varies from 10 to 100 more cars that were produced than was quoted.

So much for a 'limited' car, right? Join Kevin and I as we discuss what's going on at Ferrari. What's even crazier is when you hear about which other models this applies to...

Do you feel like you've seen a lot of limited edition Porsches in your days? Think again. Kevin and I reveal an enormous Texas Porsche collection that was recently auctioned off for MILLIONS of dollars. Most of the examples were sold for multiples of what they're really worth. The collection had something unique. Every single car was....white. Interesting, right?

In this episode, Kevin and I go into the tantalizing details of the cars in this collection, what we think happened, and how all of these magnificent cars got sent to auction. Finally, we will touch on some favorites from one of the largest car collections ever recorded. Hope you enjoy!

Kevin and I found some concept cars from the past that never got built. It made us very sad. The reason for this is because we love these cars, they're sexy, sleek, and crazy build-outs of cars we already know and love. There are three we cover today and I think you'll agree with us that these beauties should have gone into production. The first one was featured on Top Gear and broke the internet because people wanted it so badly, however, the manufacturer still didn't build it. Bummer. Anyway, enjoy the episode!

Welcome back, car nerds! This week is an interesting one... we go hard into the world of electric cars. Are they worth the hype? Are they more cost-effective than a gas-powered car? What are the drawbacks in countries like Canada and the United States? Are they even a net positive for the environment or have they become a status icon? Listen now to listen to Kevin and I debate this charged topic.

We talk about cars pretty often on this podcast. Well, every episode. But all this car talk is surface level. We talk about how great they are, some cool concepts and new releases, cool collections, rare finds, and specifications, but we never talk about the psychology of cars.

Why do we like cars so much as car people? Those who don't love them find us crazy and even delirious at times. We live and breathe gasoline engines and high RPMs, the adrenaline we get from being behind the wheel is intoxicating. It's almost impossible to explain unless you're speaking to a fellow car nerd.

In this deep-dive episode, we uncover the secrets of why we have such an emotional connection with these machines, what mental health problems they can temporarily alleviate, and why we keep gravitating towards these beautiful hunks of metal and carbon fiber.
