Joey Seely is an engineer who builds some of the fastest unique Porsches on Earth. After cutting his teeth on Porsche Motorsport's race team, he co-founded BBI Autosport, then opened his business, Emotion Engineering. They focus on tailoring high-performance cars to the driver and environment using a mix of off-the-shelf parts and many of their own design. In a few years Joey has built a custom Pikes Peak car for Rhys Millen, ran Jeff Zwart's 935 campaign, practically created the modern overland Cayenne movement, turned a Turbo S into a Baja machine, all while continuing to learn, innovate, and push the limits.

On this episode we talk about his amazing air-cooled Project Nasty; why a smaller-tire racing series is a good idea; what's "wrong" with a GT3; overrated paint colors; what he learned by doing things wrong; some of the tricks on Rhys' Pikes Peak car; carbon fiber costs; and so much more.

What began as the humble YouTube channel Everyday Driver has grown into a brand that hosts track days, produces films for Amazon, and organizes road trips for enthusiasts. Behind it (and in front of the cameras) since the beginning are Todd Deeken and Paul Schmucker, two of the nicest people in automotive media. On this episode, they sit down to talk about their track events, race track culture, the speed of today's cars, strange exhausts that skirt the rules, and more.

Adam Golden is the founder of MentaWatches.com, a website dedicated to helping you learn about, buy, and sell watches. He has a passion for them that is infectious but he also doesn't agree with everyone else. In his eyes, some "special error" watches aren't that special. On this episode he explains why; how a diver watch is and is not like a Porsche GT3; the cool new brand he likes; why "birth date" watches aren't for him; and more !

Matt Farah is back from being the hot shoe for Road & Track's Performance EV of the Year test, where cars were slid, went fast, scared a motorcyclist, and even gave Matt a little "brown moment". He gives us some incredible stories (without giving away the winner) from the test. Something was stolen from Zack Klapman. Then we answer Patreon questions including:
 

• Which $40k-$80k Porsche for topless summer fun?
• How will EV power-trains let automakers change designs?
• Is the M5 trying to be a Bentley?
• How much of a car is built by the car company vs suppliers?
• Will hybrid systems halt the development of ICE engines?
• How do I get inspired to take car photos?
• Should I test drive a car I love before I buy it?
• How to solve the X3M Comps stiffy problem?
• IS the C6 ZO6 the right step from a Miata?
• How to avoid burn out?
• Can you be content with a car?
• Why are 2020 Nissan GT-Rs holding their value?
