We needed to get the band back together for a livestream show. Recently, your ear holes have been treated to a handful of SEMA episodes but a fresh batch has been cooked up for those that like to mix it up. Patrick Costello joins us once again so we can talk about his show Truck Night in America, which enters Season 2 starting early in 2019. Additionally, Chris and I have driven a handful of machines so it's time to play catch up.

This episode we sit down with APR alongside special guest host Jason Fenske from Engineering Explained.

Live again from the SEMA 2018 show floor on the Magnaflow stage I sit down with Jim and Mike Ring. We talk about their spectacular Blazer debuted at SEMA, trends seen at the show and the importance of keeping an open mind to learn from others within your own lane of expertise.

Live from the Magnaflow podcasting stage at SEMA 2018 I interview Dinan about their 2018/2019 offerings and specifically their return to flash tunes.

Chris is busy prepping for SEMA so I'm solo this week. I've driven the Range Rover SVR to a nice quiet spot and I'm recording from inside the 575-hp $132k SUV. Topics this week include;

• Bentley Bentayga V8 and Continental GT
• California 8hr Endurance Race
• Hyundai Veloster N
• And should I or shouldn't I buy a W124 wagon that needs a little work...

Well... maybe not the episode itself, but I am! So I've enlisted the help of Josh Ostrander to sit in with myself and Chris Hayes. He's here to talk about the Formula Drift season ender that went down at Irwindale the prior weekend. After that we talk about:

• The Ford Mustang Bullitt
• Corvette ZR1
• Hyundai Nexo and Kona EV
• Matt Farah's Mustang on BAT

And we take your questions as well. Tune in for some sniffly automotive rantings and ramlbings!

Jason Connor takes my spot on this episode and chats with Chris Hayes about, well, cars, duh.

Jason recently bought a C6 Z06 and the pair also wax poetic about all things carbon build up.

There's no news this week. It's time, instead, to dive into the past three months of comments on YouTube. This means we're going to find confusing messages. We'll find hateful messages. We will find the sort of stuff that people typically wouldn't have the guts to see to another person face to face. And we will laugh, and we will enjoy it all.

Friend of Hooniverse Jonathon Klein joins us on show this week. First up, we dip into the news where we discuss:

• BMW not building an M version of the Z4 or giving a manual gearbox option.
• Audi revealing the e-tron electric SUV.
• Pricing been announced for the Ford Edge ST.
• Waze is now usable with Apple CarPlay

After that, Klein tells us what it's like to drive a Bugatti Chiron. The lucky bastard also drove David Lee's Monza 3.6 Evo Ferrari Dino restomod. 

Chris and I kick things off by discussing the fact that Bugatti will not be building more W16 engines in the future. Rolls-Royce believes nanobots are the future of engine maintenance. BMW has a self-riding motorycle in the works. After the news we switch gears to answer some questions before talking about what we've been driving and doing.
