Overcrest

In May 1987 an eighteen year old West German rented a Cessna 172 from his flying club and pointed it east towards Moscow. This is the account of what, and how this cold war fiasco happened.

Ferrari's marketing director answers for the reaction to the brand's first electric car, and the paddles behind the wheel raise a question about what counts as real. The 12Cilindri shows up with a gated shifter and a clutch pedal, and how those parts actually work sets off the longest argument of the episode. Toyota tests a two-door mule in Japan wearing borrowed headlights. Audi hints at more Avants for the United States. Car and Driver runs the electric Cayenne down the strip. Volkswagen Group takes ten models off the board. O'Reilly puts ten billion dollars in front of Napa, and the store-count math explains why the FTC will care.

Kris recaps scouting Northern California's Lost Coast for the fall Overcrest Rally on remote Emerald Triangle backroads, small-town characters, and a 1983 Mercedes R107 280 SL on some of the most isolated roads in the country. Plus, Jake on Teslas, soul, and whether a new car can ever earn one. (it can't, probably)

Magnus Walker is the man who turned air-cooled Porsches into a movement. This is a podcast about letting it go.

He sold 18 cars from his personal collection this spring and kept the 16 he couldn't part with. Three months on, he sat down with us to talk about what's left when you stop collecting: feeling lighter, the worthless van he misses more than the Porsches, and the 356 that found him on his way out the door.

Tommy Thomas spent high school talking about the Cannonball Run and the next four decades not doing it. A career driving fire trucks will do that. Retirement changed the math. Now he crosses the country with a co-driver, a trunk full of countermeasures, and a Cadillac built to look like nothing at all. We get into the laser jammers, the truckers who help and the ones who don't, the cops who go either way, and what it takes to get from one ocean to the other before most people finish a weekend.

Bailey Clayton is a sign painter who taught himself the trade before he knew it had a name. He started with calligraphy in a school notebook and now points squirrel-hair brushes and oil-based one-shot at the sides of race cars, recreating historic liveries by hand. He stands for permanence in a world that re-vinyls everything every five years, and for the belief that a number painted by hand outlasts the business that commissioned it.
