Kris and Jake break down how AI-generated junk is flooding car media and what that means for the future of trust, context, and car culture. From fake motorcycle YouTube channels to AI citing AI, it is a feedback loop of disinformation.They talk about Porsche’s new Club Coupe, a two hundred thousand dollar purse disguised as a 911, and draw lines between heritage branding and identity loss. Toyota is pushing hydrogen, California just got shut down on its EV ban, and a brake swap with Kris’s daughter turns into a hands-on reminder of what still matters. Also included are Jeep duck madness, speed limits, and capybara smugglers.Support this content and join the Drivers Club

Kris buys a new (old) car and dives deep into why Volvo’s legacy matters. From redblock engines to the invention of the seatbelt, this episode covers the brand’s rally roots, bulletproof engineering, and what makes an honest car... honest.

We break down CIS fuel injection, weird stereo mods, shady listings, and the joy of finding the perfect scouting rig. No spoilers on what he bought, but trust us, it’s boxy, Swedish, and built like a brick.

If you love Volvos, rally cars, or just hate unreliable crap, you’ll want to hear this one.

The guys start with movies, force fields, and why modern films are ruined by cell phones. Then Jake went deep. What begins as a rant about sci-fi tropes turns into a real-world mystery involving a bizarre incident at a 3M factory, an invisible barrier that physically stopped people, and a trail that might lead straight into government black projects. Kris spirals into plasma physics, energy calculations, and how this might be the accidental discovery of something far more dangerous than tape. A ridiculous conversation that just might make too much sense.

This week, Kris and Jake dig into the deep end of vintage car ownership, from rare inline sixes and obscure manifolds to sketchy used car deals and unexpected rebuilds. A new truck enters the family with a story that goes back to 1961, while a beloved Volvo project takes an unexpected turn. The guys break down engine choices, carburetor setup, and why doing things the hard way still matters. There’s also talk of upcoming rallies, life lessons in rust, and a reminder that every old car comes with a little baggage.Support Overcrest Here:https://www.overcrestproductions.com/driversclub

Zak DePiero is a photographer, fabricator, filmmaker, and former professional skateboarder. He and his longtime friend Kevin Wandelear set out on a raw, self built, cross-country journey in a 1947 Autocar truck with deep roots in their hometown. Along the way, they faced the kind of chaos only a vintage build can deliver, broken oil pans, roadside fixes, and the kind of "type 2 fun" that becomes unforgettable. The trip wasn’t just about the miles or the metal—it was about chasing stories, connecting with history, and doing it all on their own terms. The Overcrest Foundation was proud to support this project as part of its mission to preserve automotive heritage, empower creators, and help bring meaningful automotive stories to life.

Kris and Jake take a wild dive into the sketchy, radioactive, and downright absurd world of vintage mail-order products. From radium-infused tonics and opium-laced pink pills to dehydrated water, atomic car gadgets, and even explosives, the episode explores just how unhinged the catalog era really was. Along the way, they unpack scammy car mods, historic disasters, and the legendary Turboencabulator. 

Steve Pelletier from Donuts and Drip joins to talk about routing philosophy, and what planning a rally means to him. Kris recounts his journey in the ill fated Miata.
