Kyle and James are the hosts of the Petersen Museum's Car Stories Podcast. They have been running the show there since September and have managed to interview a ton of great folks associated with this industry. Now it's our turn to talk to them... and by that, I mean it's my turn to talk about my truck mostly.

Another in our long series of SEMA podcasts; Zack and I sat down and had a great talk with Dan Sandberg the President/CEO of Brembo North America. Having spent a number of years in radio Dan makes one hell of a guest sharing his insights in manufacturing, growing a brand, product development and just doing good focused business.  

Andrew Collins is the freshly minted Reviews Editor of Jalopnik.com. He and I happened to be attending the same wave for the US launch of the new Aston Martin DB11. I took the opportunity to fire up the podcast-o-motron and record a new episode. This takes place while we're driving the DB11 through the curvy roads of Anza Borrego. You'll hear the car, Andrew's adventures in the off-road world, and some speeding done at strictly legal levels.

Friends of the show Jonathon Klein and Jason Connor join Chris and myself in the studio. We talk about the recent DWA Coastal Range Rally, which Connor attended with his Ford Focus ST. Klein tells us about driving the Scarbo F1 replica car, which sounds amazing.

Additionally, there's some news on the upcoming recording of Episode 200! It will take place on April 3rd at Four Sons Brewery in Huntington Beach. We should get started around 7pm.

After that bit of news, we rush through your questions because we all wanted to go to K1 after and hit up the karting track

Perennial favorites and awe-inspring builders Jim and Mike Ring stop by to share their experience building Wes Rydell's 1948 Cadillac Coupe ATS-V hybrid. As usual the guys have done some outstanding work but few people appreciate just how big of an undertaking the 48 was.  The car is FAR from a simple engine swap and in total it's truly a complete re-engineering of an ATS-V that happens to look like a 48 Caddy.

On this episode Zack Klapman (@ZackKlapman) and I (@HayesData) are joined by the men behind the House of Muscle Mike Musto (@MDMusto) and Pat Devereux, last but not least our good friend Larry Kosilla (@AMMO_NYC) of Ammo Autocare joins the mix as well. We cover the trends of things we're seeing at SEMA, RWB Porsches, generally tacky crap and we fill in the blanks with an occassional jab at each other.

We did his, now he does ours...

our podcast that is, and we're referring to guest Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire. He's been a busy man the last year or so, with his steady stream of One Take videos on his own channel or the great shows he's hosting for NBC Sports as part of The Drive.

Matt sits down to talk with us about all of that, and then some. Also we get in some questions as well. If you want to hear what's essentially the first half of this podcast, you should also tune in to our host Jeff Glucker sitting in as a guest on Matt's TST Podcast.

Long time friends of the show BBI autosport grace us with their presence in the Magnaflow booth at SEMA 2016 once again.  Zack and I sit down to talk everything Porsche with BBI including, 991.1 vs 991.2, the future of the GT3, the slow migration of 911 engines forward, carbs vs efi and the legendary build quality of antique german steel.

Chris, Zack, and Jeff are all together in the studio for the first podcast of the new year. The three talk about the new Audi Allroad, dumb valets and the HoonTruck, Zack's BMW M3, Chris' fleet, and what's in store for the rest of the year. After that it's question and answer time.

In a much needed break from being (somewhat) straight-laced at SEMA Carlos Lago (@carloslago) drops by joining Zack Klapman (@ZackKlapman), Jon Klein (@jonathon_klein) and myself (@hayesdata).  We play the segue game througout the episode, Carlos does his best to upset Zack and we also get some actual car talk in there as well.
