This week on our little podcast, Alex and Randy talk about the Jim Farley Pantera and great PR advice for other auto execs before moving on to Randy's recent trip to Japan. He describes the general automotive vibe there: multi-generational Skylines casually out in the wild, tiny Kei cars everywhere, the cultural norm of backing into one's parking space, Cal-look Beetles, multicolored license plates, Mitsuokas, Tokyo Drift lookalikes, a ride on the bullet train, a visit to the Tamiya model store, and a missed Fast & Furious-themed opportunity (to be remedied next time).

Next up, the pair go over highlights from their watchlists, including a former resident of our very own BaT HQ, some early Subaru love, a Sabrina pull, a matched pair, an odd but compelling boat, and an odd but compelling Cord.
