Apex Adjacent

This week we're honored to have our good friend Pat Curtain on the show! He swings by the virtual blanket fort this week to share his amazing Pikes Peak knowledge and talk all things restoration, Colorado car scene, Japanese jazz, and more!

In this episode our host with the good hair describes his late night home appliance encounters. Also, said host's cat's emergency contact discusses the disgusting and chaotic miracle that is kitten birth. Yep, we're a car show! We love you!

Getting older. Not only do we have to deal with the impact on our bodies, we also have to deal with the fact that we may be sliding into demographics that we never ever imagined ourselves being part of. In this episode Ian is confronted with his potential future self and has...thoughts. We love you!

You know, sometimes you come across something that someone says that is SO DUMB that it shakes you to your core, makes you re-evaluate all of your life decisions, and bring it all over to your goofy car show. So that's what's up this week! We love you everyone, this day, the next day, the next day that is made of three days, and every day after!

We start this week's show on a very somber note as we discuss the tragedy of Ken Block's death. It's a massive loss to the automotive enthusiast community. We reflect on how Ken inspired us, how delightful his presence was, and what we can do moving forward to honor his legacy. We love you everyone.

In this episode we discuss Ian's Planes, Trains, and Automobiles family travel craziness and a discussion around Southwest airlines tech issues and how it dovetails into car manufacturer technology. Don't worry though, if you thought we'd let news about a self-pleasuring walrus not make it onto the show, you are WRONG.

Whew! What an effin year, right? In this show we get our pack together and play the last license plate game of the year, Ian gives us his top 10 albums, and we reflect on how this year has impacted us. We love you!

It's the end of an era and we feel...a bit sad? In this episode we discuss the departure of Toyota's sedan big boi, the Avalon, as well as some other end-of-an-era options in cars. After we're done pouring one out, we crack open a fresh Craigslist Automotive Alignment chart and get to work! We love you!

Stuff gets a bit silly this week in an episode that starts pretty normal. Ian had the chance to drive our good buddy Peedah's Audi S4 and is still buzzing from the experience. After that, well, we start talking about BMW b-holes and whatnot...so yeah. We love you!

Racer. Instructor. Podcaster. All-around stand-up dude Mental Ward joins on the show this week! You may know him from his fantastic amateur endurance racing podcast Everyone Racers, or his occasional Lemons wrap-up video appearances. Come on and snug up in the virtual blanket fort with us and we have a great time talking to Mental.

In this episode we dive deep into a wild Craigslist listing that our buddy Aaron sent us, from which we devise a new fun feature! Back that up with a bit of Ian rental car chat and some Jebus plates, and you've got a show. We love you!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Look, if you're trapped in the car with a loved one then we feel for you. If you'd indulge us just for a bit, we go down memory lane and reflect on some of the things that we're thankful for this year. Most of all, we're thankful for you! Please stay safe, take care, enjoy your holiday time, and remember that we love you.

Fantastic friend of the show, the always delightful and insightful Jake Thiewes is back on the show this week! Join us as we wrap up Jake's Spec3 racing season, the wonderful Out Motorsports events, and dip into some sedan-centric talk as we run down three heavy hitters in the segment.

In this episode Dave presents Ian with the Dodge Journey of internet comment threads, and Ian discusses his brief but delightful tropical adventures, and makes sure we all know his sand-centric opinions. We love you everyone, stay safe!

In this week's show we discuss crazy cars Ian saw, Dave's track day data-collection service, some light hooning Ian did, as well as featuring two new segments. We love you everyone!

We're not really too wrapped up in the idea of fate, but...when you own cars like we do, things are more destined to happen than to not. In this episode we talk through the how, who, and what of things we've broken. We love you!

This week we're honored to have Alejandro Brown on the show. You know him as the force behind the wild and wacky I-70 Things Instagram account. Join us as we dig deep into how wild our home highway can get.

Sometimes we talk about a serious topic, and sometimes...well, sometimes we don't. In this episode we discuss how to correctly clap back at a moron as well as dispense some very unfounded and highly inadvisable ways to top up on your vitamin D intake. You've been warned. We love you!!!

Come with us as we immerse ourselves in the new Nissan Z!!! We had wildly different times experiencing this car, but we can conclude one thing for sure: Nissan Nissan'ed the everloving heck out of this thing!

What is this, a crime fighting duo? Nope, just some fools with vanity plates per the usual. In this week's episode we talk wacky plates, squishy hoses, even more wacky FIAT part prices, showing your coworkers your true inner nerd, and more. We love you!

Holy cow, we can't believe we've been at this goofy podcast game for SEVEN YEARS?!? There isn't anything else we can say other than thank you so much for listening to our show, whether this is your first episode or you've been riding shotgun since day one, WE LOVE YOU!

There's really nothing else to say other than Ian had some EVENTS happen during his most recent Lemons race. Listen in, bring the marshmallows, and enjoy! We love you!

Ian and Dave, recently having had seat time in the delightful Kia EV6, bring in James Gilboy who has had A TON of seat time and quite an adventure in a Kia EV6. Listen in on James' incredible tale! We love you!

When it comes to feelings, you know at least one of us has some or, okay, all of them. But when Ian and Dave are given keys to BOTH the new Honda Civic Si and the Acura Integra A-Spec BOTH OF US FEEL THINGS, and wow, we have to bring in some outside resources to help us deal. Enter Victoria Scott.

Are ya winning son? No, but that's not the point. In this episode Ian and Dave dive in to Ian's very first autocross experience, talk about things to come, and play a license plate game. We love you!
