What is going on everyone and welcome back to TT. This week, we are back to normal episodes and Jorge has two amazing guests.

Michael McCarthy is an incredibly talented driver from Central Florida now based here in the Phx Metro area. He has participated in and won in Carrera Cup (he's got the watches to prove it) and grew up in karting with a slew of big names. He is also building an awesome G80 M3 as a track car that is chef's kiss.

Additionally, Jorge also welcomes a talented and exceptionally gifted automotive hyper realism artist who has broken down barriers here in the US for herself and lifted others around her and continues to forge new creative paths as her journey continues, the one and only Rae Roberts.

This is an exceptional conversation where 3 friends just hang, but there's a lot of truth bombs on how to continue to carve whichever path you are on.

Please enjoy Rae and Michael on Tormenting Tarmac.

Hi everyone and welcome back to TT. This week, Jorge chats with Ford Mustang marketing executive Ryan Shaughnessy, Head of Global Communications at RM Sotheby's Ethan Gibson, and the Vice President of Licensing and Media Relations at Shelby American, Tracey Smith.

In the first interview with Ryan, we breakdown the vibes happening in Detroit as they get ready for the F1 season launch as Ford prepares to be Red Bull's primary sponsor, we also discuss the brand new Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC and what it meant to see the Mustang GTD break the 7 minute barrier at the Nurburgring.

In our second interview, Jorge talks with Ethan at the RM Sotheby's Scottsdale auction about the current trends in the collector car market, whether anyone would have the moxie to manual swap an Enzo, and how when another auction house does well, it is always good for business.

In the final interview, Tracey sits down with Jorge at the Shelby booth immediately following the debut of the Shelby Mustang GT350 T/A. We discuss their excitement about returning to Trans Am racing, why it's so important to honor Carroll Shelby, Tracey's love for vans and the most obscure place they have ever seen a Shelby product.

I would like to thank all of my guests for taking time out of their very busy schedules during the auctions to chat with me. Additionally a special thanks to Scott Black for his help in setting up the interviews with Ryan and Tracey.

Cast-Mas has ended. We are two days away from Christmas, so it was only right I brought on a heavy hitter to send us into the new year.

What is going on everyone, we are almost at the finish line. A few more episodes before the end of the year. Today I welcome Devante Mack of the Mackism Effect podcast and Divergent Being media on to the show.

On this episode, we dive into our mutual love with JDM, we discuss the passion behind his own podcast, and we as professional wrestling fans give our flowers to the great John Cena.

Huge thanks to Devante for coming on. Make sure you follow him everywhere and subscribe to his podcast.

What is going on everyone and welcome back to TT! Our holiday marathon carries on and this episode I am joined by the founder of the Last Era clothing brand in Phoenix, AZ....good friend to the show Eric Pasia.

On this episode, we bond over fatherhood and bringing car enthusiasm into our boys lives, our excitement over Toyata bringing in the GR GT, why he sold his 360 Modena, why his 993 is still so important to him after nearly 10 years of ownership, and what caters his creativity behind his designs for Last Era.

This conversation was incredibly interesting and it's a pleasure to bring it to you. Huge thanks to Eric for hopping and his continued support of the podcast.

Happy holidays and enthusiasts never die.
