Welcome to Everyone Racers #418! In this “BMW That Definitely Exists” episode, Tim threatens last year's goals, Chris promises to not get in someone else’s bed at races Chrissy’s video of TIG welding was a highly watched video of 2025 

Mental doesn’t poop himself and has a great year! Really it’s our 2025 New Year's Goals special, so the gang looks back at a year of "buckets of success" and total fails. From Mental’s battle with turbo diesels and 2mm-too-big blades to Tim’s complete contractor fail in Maine, we’re laying it all out.

Inside this episode:

• BMW 418d Deep Dive: 143 horses of "polite responsibility" and 0-60 in a blistering nine seconds.

• Automotive News: A guy got stuck in a Waymo trunk, and California's new "Fast Action" speeding program.

• Racing Junk Find: A $1,000 Fiat Spyder race car with "unassessed front end damage"—the perfect bad idea for 2026.

• 2025 Goal Retrospective: Who actually met their goals? Spoiler: Chris sold the MG, but the pilot's license is a "great fail".

• 2026 Racing Roadmap: Building garages, making a Lotus "operable," and why someone wants to join the 150mph club at Bonneville.
