April 08, 2021 Episode 177 - The Missing Episode
Dan was gone for a while, so we get you up to speed with this missing episode covering a lot of stuff!
Everyone needs to know about the Lockpicking Lawyer - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm9K6rby98W8JigLoZOh6FQ
Watch some guys riding vintage Honda trail bikes 500 miles, proving we aren’t quite as crazy as you thought - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=320vUMEoelc
In reference to our Carter Subaru Tip of the week, check out how APR (and many others) are helping you with your powertrain warranty if you decide to void yours with a tune - https://www.goapr.com/products/software/ecu_upgrade/parts/ECU-20T-EA888-3-T-IS38
Streetspeed717 from YouTube decided to jump his Urus over his Aventador and we think that’s pretty cool - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_L7lEgZcdc
Gordon Murray puts his new T50 on the dyno and sorta runs the Nürburgring - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMbNh8y7HUY
Aston Martin vs Honda - Correction, this was Top Gear Season 6, Episode 5 - and Jeremy Clarkson driving.
Nikola is still full crap, SSC is maybe slightly less, and the story of the Dale. The story of the Dale is fascinating - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twentieth_Century_Motor_Car_Corporation - and to correct something in the show we don't want people to misunderstand, we didn't mean Trans "wasn't a thing" in the 60s/70s, we meant it was not a commonly used term at the time and was not widely used to describe sexual identity in historical reference.
And we discuss Nissan's predatory loan practices: https://jalopnik.com/nissan-is-going-to-pay-dealers-more-to-steer-customers-1846636646

March 05, 2021 The Other Putnam: Police Stories and Reality
When we say we’re a car show about people, we mean it, even our own people. In Episode 173, we have a deep, real, and still fun chat with Dan’s brother David, former Washington State Trooper, and leave nothing out. We talk police stories, car stuff, growing up with Dan, adoption, the massive drug problem, the declining police problem, and we definitely don’t hold much back. Enjoy this extended episode with 20 years of stories from being a Washington State Trooper, and so much more.
This episode is not explicit, but deals with some very mature subject matter around drugs, homelessness, and automobile accidents that may no be appropriate for some younger listeners. Listener discretion is advised.
