The Youngtimers

A very tired Jack and John go down the Italian motorway discussing the new Maserati MC20; the stunning super sports car in all its brand revitalizing glory or maybe the last gasp of a failing company. Will the new 10 vehicle line up bring life to the company or will they fall down the Mclaren business model and see a return to the Maserati of the 80's.

Jack and the team recover from the weekend's shenanigans by discussing Johns's new ride in the recently dropped Jeep Wagoneer as well as the passing of an automotive icon in the retirement of the last Ford Crown Vic cop car. Aston Martin leads the young timers discussion on this weeks episode as we discuss the new badass one of one Aston Martin Victor.  We then break down the Vantage market, the 18 sub-models available and what you can expect to pay for a manual model. 

Jack and the boys get down and dirty discussing the F35 joint strike fighter as well as the hellcat Durango whose price is almost as high. Then Jack discusses the pros/cons of his first trip to Ferrari world and how epic it was getting to actually see the full lineage of Ferrari super cars. This Leads into a full market analysis of the last manual transmission only front engine v12 Ferrari, the 550 Maranello.

Jack and John enjoy a long weekend while knocking back hot totty's and discussing all things wagon; from Jeep wagoneers, fast wagons, and all tail-wagging dogs in between. Culminating in market analysis on the best American wagon this side of the National Lampoon Family truckster; the Cadillac CTS-V wagon in all its 556 horsepower glory.   

Jack and Prof. Steve are joined this week by Eelke Sijbrandij (good luck pronouncing that), a drinking dutchman with a car problem, as they discuss the latest car news including Gordon Murrays new T.50 hypercar. Then the youngtimers give their first public service announcement by warning little people of the new C8 corvette dangers if they decide to go front trunk napping and why. Post fapping conversation we analyze the BMW 1M market, discuss Eelke's purchase of his own white1M, and the maintenance issues he has had. 

Jack and the team double up after some technical difficulties and get to enjoy recording this podcast twice but just like Jay Dougherty says, "if a little is good, alot is clearly better" so here we go again. After making a partial unpaid career of cracking jokes on the hideousness that is the new BMW front end we finally see what they were getting at with the new darth vader inspired M4 GT3 race car and we are all in with the dark side on this one. Then the vehicle whose grandfather singlehandedly handed the axis their ass in WW2 decides to go green and no one is quite sure how we (or grandpa) feel about this. I do know how the stalworth Texan and former army air corps veteran, Carrol shelby,  would feel about it as we break down the full range of the new-ish GT 350; including model variations and current market sales. Please subscribe, comments,  tell a feind, tell a stranger, tell us how much you hate us but hell just tell somebody something and if you want us to give an honest opinion about your car just shoot the specs to [email protected]

Jack and John discuss the first  “Texas Goodwood” happening in the lone star state this September and then proceed to blame that bitch Covid when they realize they can’t go. Jack hits the European continent in a discussion on the current gated 6-speed V12 Ferrari market before pondering the prices of gently used carrera T’s to the historical sales data of the 997 and 991 GT3’s.

In this episode, Jack lets out a dark British secret that he has been hiding for a few years; No, not his love of going on the Lash (that's well known)  but the incredible smiles per gallon value that is the manual F type Jag.  A screaming supercharged V6 engine with a proper manual transmission from a storied marque like Jaguar for less than 40k USD is a deal any way you look at it. Then we celebrate Professor Steves's new 444 horsepower purchase, a 2016 BMW 650i, while laughing at the pain and misery he went through to find out that the UAE's version of the DMV is just as terrible as the one in the states.

Jack and the team start off this week's episode discussing some of their favorite automotive podcasts and my apologies to Derick Tam Scott from the Carmudgeon show as I referred to you as daniel.....but you look like a daniel and I had been drinking so there's that. Then we shift into high gear and have a few too many in celebration of the much-anticipated worldwide reveal of the new Ford Bronco. In between more rounds of adult beverages then the bronco has trim levels, we boozily break down the entire range from the glitzy Outerbanks to the offroad badlands and all models in between. Mucho mucho drinks (anyone noticing a theme to this episode?) and shit talking later we stumble onto the verbal autobahn with a market analysis on the first generation Audi R8 with its amazing Teutonic gated manual transmission in both V8 and V10 trim.

Jack and John are flying Han Solo this week as we discuss the 2,314 hellcat horsepower bomb that dodge dropped on us in their let freedom rev campaign. Pissing off six-figure Demon purchasers with the new Demon-lite Challenger super stock, the new for 20201 charger widebody redeye, and the first badass Durango since the Shelby Durango SP360 in the new Durango Hellcat. We hit the conversational Suzuka race track as we delve into the second-gen Acura (Honda) NSX market; why no one is buying these hybris sports cars but maybe you should. Then Jack falls down a Bavarian rabbit hole as he remembers his E46 M3; what made that car so special, how the market looks, and which model you should spend your money on before early 20-something tuners ruin them and the garage hoarders wrap them in a car condom for safekeeping then put them all away for a future payday.
