The Avants Podcast

What were you doing when you were 21? College? Parties on the weekend? Daniel Piker is a full time photographer, videographer, and rally co-driver. We were definitely not that cool. We still aren’t, but that’s OK. If you’ve heard some of our previous episodes you've probably heard us drop his name a lot and we’ve featured his photography before. Get to know Daniel and his work on this weeks episode!

Also, if you heard our tip today and are still confused about how about 99% of gasoline engines work, this video is Dan’s favorite for explaining it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu7g3uIG6Zo

We know a lot of people by there cars. Almost EVERYONE in the area knows Bong’s car - his red RWB Porsche 964. Unlike most people though, Bong’s car has track rash. It doesn’t have flawless perfect paint on it’s quarters and the R888s are properly heat cycled and scrubbed in. A Porsche enthusiast of all kinds, Bong talks growing up, cars, mods, and his love for track time. Get to know the guy you already know of in this episode and enjoy the beautiful photo gallery by Karl Noakes!

While Summer in the PNW is beautiful, it also means packed roads and construction. DansDrives.com does have some great short drives, this is the perfect time to go on a drive for a weekend or even a few weeks. We recap some of our favorite getaways in this episode and Dan has laid out the routes in detail below. We hope we inspire you to get away and enjoy the drive!

Whistler, BC

That crazy long gravel road that goes up past Harrison Lake that Dan was talking about

To Neah Bay (Cape Flattery) and back, the really fun way (this is a 2 day drive, trust me)

Lake Quinault Lodge + Moclips Highway + Seabrook, WA

A fun road close to Coeur d’Alene, ID

The Lolo Pass Blast

Boise to Bogus Basin

That route through Idaho that will blow your mind, bruise your kidneys, and may cause you to lose your muffler. Part 1 / Part 2. *Warning, this is HARD. Ask James.

Jasper and everywhere along the way. Stop at Mojo’s coffee in Bonners Ferry and try and win your new AR15 or quilt.

Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, Craters of the Moon, McCall, Lewiston Hill Climb, Starbuck, and more!
