Everyone Racers

Laughing Through the Breakdown


Listen Later

In this Scent 397 episode, balanced with nobility of Iris and depth of Patchouli, Chris is sporty spice and gives sass to british car watchers, Chrissy encourages you to get the 397 fragrance (includes Patuilli), Tim is the piercer enforcer pumper while Mental plans his Porsche 912 road trip like a poet on a bender—romantic, reckless, and always convinced that Interstate 5 will somehow reward poor decisions with good stories. Really we discuss ‘Tale of Woe,’ and how breakdowns hit differently now versus when we were younger and broke. We reflect on lessons learned, offer practical advice for surviving a road trip with a hooptie. (Hint: Bring cash, carry AAA, and above all—expect the unexpected.) We balance that with your inputs and experiences. Listener shoutouts roll in, from celebrating National Stick Shift Day to a German word for when improvements go hilariously wrong: Verschlimmbesserung. There’s praise for AAA, complaints about Boston drivers, and deep appreciation for the absurdity of breakdown stories. The highlight? Mental’s epic California road trip story is broken into three seemingly unbelievable vignettes, each wilder than the last—Red Bull-can roadside repairs, getting hit on at a bar, and experiencing the surreal corporate bustle of a Morgan Hill Starbucks. Spoiler: all three stories are true.We even talk about our latest wild Racing Junk find—a 1989 Toyota Celica GTS Lemons racecar with a V6 swap, a pile of spare parts, and a sketchy-but-free enclosed trailer. We break down the value of 17 RS4 tires (most likely used) and debate the trailer’s potential for hauling poor life choices. Mental dreams of acquiring it despite no truck to tow it.
