We have been blessed by many gifts oh listeners, many gifts including yourselves! In this episode we receive gifts of many varieties, so thank you everyone for continuing to enable whatever it is that this is. We love you everyone!!!

Not really much to say except that we have a lot to say. We love you. Please do what you need to care for yourselves and the people close to you. We'll say it again, we love you.

In this episode we discuss Dave settling in to his motorsports home as well as a moment of solitude that Ian finds in a Cadillac. We love you everyone, stay safe and take care of one another and yourselves!!!

When it comes to poorly thought out choices we could basically teach a grad-school-level course on the topic, right? Well, in this episode Ian discovers someone that doesn't even make the most basic attempt to think through ANYTHING. We've been outclassed, and by the looks of it, we're perfectly okay with that. Also in a shocking twist, Dave wants to talk about F1! I KNOW! We love you.

Woah. Dave never thought this day would ever come, and in some way, neither did Ian. We start the episode by discussing an idea Ian has that he's thought out much further than he's thought about it in the last 12 years. What could this mystery be?!? Find out and stick around for our normal nonsense as well as a license plate game. We love you!

We are so very lucky to have Jeff Glucker joining us this week! You know Jeff from Hooniverse, you've seen him on MotorTrend, and now you get to hear us two goofballs chat with him! This conversation takes some really fun turns, so pop open your beverage of choice, pull up a seat, and come hang out with us!

In this week's episode Ian talks us through what happened during a recent unfortunate scenario, and Dave, well Dave talks about the candy he's eaten. All this, and some very um...interesting Mustang vanity plates await. We love you everybody!

We're extremely grateful to have Kevin Williams join us on this week's show! You know Kevin by way of Car Bibles where he literally wrote the book on the Fiat 500 Abarth. Kevin focuses on some incredible areas of the automotive landscape, and we're very thankful for the work that Kevin does and we had a great time talking to him!

This week Ian and Dave bring you tales of driving VERY different cars, fixing little cars, and uncovering a whole new sector of vanity license plate enthusiasts. We love you!

We're lucky to have our dear friend Sam Ferrara on this week's show! Sam is a fantastic automotive enthusiast and all around amazing guy. Besides he and Ian naming a ton of bands that Dave has never heard of, we talk records, cars, car audio, and a bunch of other great stuff.

This week's show is filled with close calls, compliments, and mental health check-ins. Dave's lucky to be alive after dodging a couple hazards, Ian made a valet person's day, and we make sure Dave's doing okay after some deep-dive research into some very specific car stuff. Stay safe everyone, we love you!

We're so lucky to have Jake Thiewes joining us on this week's show! We have a great conversation about the founding of Out Motorsports and discuss the work that they do to create a safe and inclusive space for LGBTQ+ motorsports enthusiasts. Amazing. We're so thankful for Jake and for the work that Out Motorsports is doing.

In this week's episode Royal Ian graces us peasants with his new-found air of confidence. Thankfully he's okay rubbing elbows with the unwashed masses, or maybe just a mostly-unwashed ginger. We also discuss how MORONS descended near-ish to Washington D.C.

In this week's episode we start with a Mental check-in, then pivot to Mental checking in. Dave does what Dave does, in that he techs the heck out of something, and Ian manages to find perhaps the saddest vanity plate to ever exist. Stay safe everyone, we love you!

JC Peterson is an author of hilarious Young Adult novels, and also married to the serial bad-car-owner Ian. We finally have her on the show to talk about her debut novel, why every car is actually a Chevette, and what it's like to live with (and mostly tolerate) a car enthusiast with questionable judgement. "Being Mary Bennet" is out everywhere March 15th, but you can preorder it now anywhere you...

Ooof. Sometimes you see something so weird you wonder how in the world it could have happened and oftentimes you never find out. Well, in this episode we end up relating to a Jeep Renegade a bit more than we thought we did. We love you everyone, stay safe out there and take care of yourselves and each other.

There's only one person call when we need some Big Mainer Energy brought to the show, our dear friend Peedah! In this episode Peedah and Dave surprise Ian with a few things, primarily Peedah's wicked new car! We love you everyone, stay safe, and thanks for coming back on the show Peedah!

Chris Landry joins us in the virtual blanket fort this week!!! You know Chris from the fantastic Gears and Queers website, and from his delightful presence on Twitter where his brilliant personality, Kylie Minogue and Madonna fandom, as well as his affinity for high-mileage Hondas and his gen 1 ML320 shine through. Thank you so much for joining us this week Chris, you are welcome back anytime!!!

We get in to some deep stuff at the beginning of this show, just putting that out there. We share our thoughts on toxic masculinity and the whirlpool of institutional misogyny, homophobia, and ultimately lazy ways to write about cars. To lighten things up we talk about owning cars with fantastic body kits and our other usual ramblings.

This week we're honored to have our longtime friend Cody Wagner on the show! Cody is the brain behind Cody's Car Conundrum and a Dodge Viper fan through and through. In this episode he takes us through his creative endeavors and fills us in on everything he's doing. Thanks Cody!!!

In this episode...well, maybe the term "episode" doesn't quite fit, how about "cry for help"? Sure. In this cry for help, we descend into a Phaeton-induced tailspin. Come with us. We love you.

We're incredibly honored to have our dear friend David Obuchowski back on our show this week! David's essay, "The Road Trip That Made My Dream Car Mine" has been published on Road & Track! He's gracing our show once again to give us some great background on his fantastic Peugeot 405 Mi16.

In this episode, which also happens to be our last episode of 2021, we discuss our mental states, cars that are beyond complicated, new cars for 2022, and most of all our gratitude for you. We truly appreciate everyone watching and listening, we couldn't do it without you. Please stay safe everyone, we love you!

In this episode we discuss our recent karting sessions and all of the fun and chaos that ensued. Speaking of fun, Dave's Abarth is finally running! It's like an adorable little Italian Christmas present that puts a smile on your face.

Holy cow we are so lucky to have Steve Edwards on the show this week! This guy has some STORIES! In this episode we talk about helping a new friend obtain an obscure French car, overlanding through Africa, and all kinds of other fun stuff!
