Religion of Speed

The Nissan Altima is not long for this world, but people who speed with two doughnut spares on, a missing bumper, and a broken windshield still have to get around. Who is brave enough to take the mantle of Big Altima Energy? Also on this episode, we rant about screens some more, Arizona doing away with speed limits?, and the worst list of reliable vehicles we have ever seen.

Episode 61 and we are getting back to the Religion of Speed Podcast being an actual show and not a word salad. In this episode we discus some recent car news, debate what the best roadster you can buy for under $25k is these days, and play a game of Rent/Keep/Crush that stirs up some feelings.

Bet you didn't see this coming! We are back! Of course it wouldn't the the RoS Podcast without some technical dificulties. Chris' mic decided not to work to the audio is weird this time. It was so great to be back sitting down and talking cars again, and you can tell we had a lot to unpack. Show will resume a more "normal" format soon, but we gotta word vomit out all the adhd...

You may be wondering, where have you all been. Its a long story, well not really, its a shirt story. Around. We have been around. But we are back in a new studio now and back to doing the thing we love most, talking about cars. Join us as we discuss the continuing decline of the manual transmission, the SUVification of the world, and the pureness of the Miata that will get us through all of it. JO...

Oh boy its another news heavy episode! In this episode Matt, Kris, and Aaron sit down to discuss some interesting car news including the Toyota Camry's discontinuation in Japan after 43 years of sales, the Camaro's potential return as an electric vehicle, WRC in Tennessee, and Germany fully embracing the E-fuel future. Of course there is also talk about mass transit and old Chevy Lumina&#3...

On this episode of the Religion of Speed Podcast the crew sits down and plays a game we call Track, Daily, Crush. In this game each member of the crew brings three cars to the table and we debate which one we would take to the track for a day, which one we would park in our garages, and which one we would send to the crusher. Of course we couldn't make it easy on each other and some lively deb...

On this episode we catch up on the news of Ford coming back to F1, Jay Leno hurting himself again, more bad news for the used car industry, and even more bad new for Kia/Hyundai. After that we all sit down and pick our top 4 racing drivers of all time that we would put on the Mt Rushmore of Racing.

Its been a few weeks since the passing of Ken Block, but having some  time for it all to set in we sit down and talk about what he meant to  the car world. There are also other things to talk about like wrecked  Supras, Electric and Hydrogen powered 86 Corollas and Frankie Muniz's  return to racing.

On this episode we are back from Holiday break and do we have some things to talk about. Acura unveiled their Integra Type S test car, Honda unveild the Civic Type R TCR racecar, Bluepront engines stole the PRI show with its huge LS headed 4 cylinder, Falken is pulling out of Formula D, and Indycar is pulling out of iRacing. On top of all that news we also discuss what our automotive related New Y...

We may have taken a break from talking about car news, but the news  didn't stop, so its time to play catch up. Lot of interesting things  happening both in the greater car world and even in our garage.

Have you ever wondered "If the Religion of Speed crew were to rank all the Fast and Furious movies, how would they do it?" Well that is a weirdly specific thing to wonder but wonder no more because we sat down and did exactly that. The Fast and Furious franchise is such a cornerstone of modern automotive culture, but that doesn't mean they are all good. So sit down on this Thanksgiving with your f...

With all the bad car news that seems to be plaguing the automotive enthusiast these days, there is still hope that we will have cool things, including an all new race track, improved internal combustion engines, and some more exciting NASCAR races. Even the autonomous drone cars are looking cooler!

We were having such a good time recording episode 50 we didn't know when to stop, but it all worked out because that means its bonus episode time. Lucas Urban decided to stick around and talk more about racing and car setup and its certainly worth a listen. We will return to normally scheduled episodes with #51.

What do you do when you reach a milestone like 50? Throw a BBQ, get your friends together, and talk cars like you always do. We have been away for a minute so there was lots to talk about including more Corolla GR news, JDM goodness being brought back from the dead, and how the auto news industry sucks. All this news was made even better because we are joined by the man starting a firestorm in GRI...

Matt finally gets his way and gets to talk about F1 for an extended period of time! Also debunking the automotive "journalism" landscape and remembering that we are all in this to have fun.

Whats that! Now you can see our beautiful faces behind the voices. That's right the Religion of Speed Podcast is now available on video, at least if you are on Spotify or YouTube. But don't worry, we are still an audio program first and foremost so you can still just put those headphones on and go about your day while you listen to us discus the nerdy car stuff we always do.

In this special bonus episode we sat down at our rented AirBnB the night before heading up the mountain to watch the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. We had no idea what was in store for us the next day, or what a crazy event the 100th running would be. 

The 100th running of the Pikes Peak Hill Climb may be over in the real world, but podcasts exist in their own version of space and time and do not need to follow you mortals version of physics. In this episode we discuss a lot of Pikes Peak Hill Climb stuff and also talk about crazy high horsepower Diesels, lots of Honda Civic talk, a rant against "progress" with digital license plates, and we tal...

We got out and did some big track racing in Project Jelybean and we have a lot to say about it. There is also more news as always and to help us discuss it and add a layer of humor only he can, previous guest of the show, and now permanent member of the Religion of Speed team, Hamza Pecenkovic joins us on the couch. 

Its about time we utilized that 4th microphone and got another guess on the show. This week we are joined by friend of the show Evan Mustapick. Its always great to sit down and chat with Evan as he always has good stories to tell and lessons to teach about his time building and racing cars, all of course in his own outspoken no filter style. If you are a Honda fan you are gonna love this episode,...

The roller coaster that has been they hype train for the Corolla GR is quite tiresome. Old cars are better anyway, unless its that new Z.....
