  • Miserable.

    This used to be a very good podcast. Somehow, the three people that were good on it are gone and Tim, who is uninteresting and super politically right wing biased, is the only one still here.

    Do not waste your time. This podcast is just bad now.

  • Pure enthusiast focus

    A group of knowledgeable car guys taking about the best enthusiast vehicles money can buy. No commercial BS, just great banter and tangible topics car lovers will enjoy. They talk about their businesses—which are self made without blatantly catering to multi-millionaires. I commute 100 miles a day and look forward to listening to a new weekly FTT. Lots of Porsche content, a bit of Ferrari, and Casey is a fan of the best Audi to hit the road—the B5 S4. If you know, you know. Thanks guys.

  • Absolutely excellent

    This podcast delivers the goods. It is fantastic I’ve listened to it while driving from Oregon to Monterey Car Week, while changing spark plugs on my 991, while detailing my 944 Turbo laughing at how you possibly could think a 968 is better than a good low miles 944 Turbo (ha!) — and it puts me in just the right spirit to deepen and broaden my enthusiasm for my main passion: cars. I just listened to the episode with the Moonstone guy and it made my week! I met him at Rennsport Reunion! Great ... more
