What we saw in Wildwood was not ‘a little disruptive,’ it was totally destructive. There’s a difference. Historically, hot-rodding culture has always been a bit disruptive, right? But... there's always...

Our opinion - Ford nailed it. The S650 Mustang seems to be everything it needs to be. Enough to offset the 'soft side of Ford' that we've been seeing too much of lately with all the EV stuff. It's given the Ford-loyal enthusiasts something to be proud of. One argument - is that Ford already ruined the Mustang by using the name on that sad 4-door electric crossover... the Mach E.

We try to keep the podcasts to about 30 minutes or so. This one ran long, so we broke it up into 2 parts. This is Part 2, and Part 1 was release a day prior. We also kinda went down different rabbit holes... but it's all part of the broader topic of the 'rapidly changing automotive industry'.

Plus, EVs require less routine maintenance from the dealer's service department. We talk about the positives & ne...

Hyundai N Day absolutely lived up to the hype this year. They showed off the impressive future plans for the Ioniq 5 and 6, and debuted the super sexy N Vision 74 concept car.

We don’t count it, but apparently some people do. The Chinese car manufacturer BYD has allegedly sold more electric vehicles than Tesla. HOWEVER, they are fudging the math pretty hard.

Large distracting touch-screens don’t really seem to work well in racing applications. That problem reared it’s ugly head at The Pike Peak Hill Climb this year.
