August 13, 2025 The Barron and the Outlaw
Scott Barron joins the podcast this week to discuss his show stopping Outlaw Ferrari 308 build. Scott's the kind of car person most of us aspire to be; the kind that does what he wants with his builds because he wants to do it. After seeing his 308 build at Exotics we knew we had to have him on the show.

August 05, 2025 KTM is Saved!
In very good news, KTM has been saved! Indian powerhouse Bajaj has stepped up to save the company, but what does the future hold under their new ownership? Should they cut Husqvarna and Gas Gas? The X-Bow is unfortunately almost certainly dead, but we'll take some KTM over no KTM and that new 390 Adventure sure seems like a step in the right direction.

Dan drove 1,800 miles in just over 2 days and Nick is thankful he wasn't stuck in the car with him this time. We talk about the most recent road trip, overpriced Bugattis we can't afford, the sexy LC500, and Nick finally admits he doesn't like roundabouts.

July 14, 2025 Is It Alright To Gatekeep Your Favorite Roads?
Dan and Nick talk about the many adventures of driving our favorite roads and why we often don't publish the routes. Dan still has Dan's Drives up and running for some of the more popular routes, but both he and Nick have dozens of routes they're afraid to share for multiple reasons. What do you think? Should we throw caution to the wind let Darwinism rule? Should people protect their favorite roads from the unhinged masses?

Today we talk all about power! Nick wires up, and then rewires, his Starlink Mini, Ram steps it way up with a warranty that's hard to beat, and what is going on with all that public land in the big bill? It's never as simple as that Instagram Reel telling you how to think.

June 25, 2025 ROOSTER BLOCKED! - The Chicken Tax
As much as we want to hate the Chicken Tax for blocking us from getting all those cool trucks we really want, we can't deny it brought out some of the best creativity from manufacturers. We dive into how the Chicken Tax started and the waves of creativity it forced upon the auto industry as a whole. It also helps explain the heat behind the current tariffs and why they might not be so terrible for us in the end. Also, if your car did not come with Lambo style doors, do not put Lambo doors on it. Period.

June 16, 2025 Factory Infotainment is Terrible and GM is Going to Make It Worse
GM decides CarPlay isn't necessary anymore, making their already terrible infotainment even worse. Just in case anyone at GM reads this, stop being stupid. On the smarter side of the industry, RAM finally admits mistakes were made and brings back the Hemi with a great comeback commercial.
Check out the awesome new RAM commercial here: https://youtu.be/TseTzC3bQAk?si=9FWLPbSWPEfu19aZ

June 12, 2025 The Dude Magnet
While we often discuss the Countach as being the ultimate "don't meet your heroes" car, we have never driven any other car that got more attention than the mighty Countach. We talk about the news and a few other topics in this episode, but we got a laugh of out how the iconic Countach brings more attention from other guys than anything else by a huge margin. What car still grabs your attention when you see it?
