  • Boring

    Like listening to pompass school kids talking about getting laid. In essence they haven’t a clue. Johnny is the only one tolerable but I gave up on this show. You need the patience of a deaf driving instructor to listen to Feresten.

  • Dropping this podcast.

    YouTube was not needed and now dangling Patreon for additional. I’m out.

    I’ll miss you, Z. I’d listen to just you.

  • Used to be so good

    It was my favourite podcast, but this new format is awful. It’s just a lowly car related late night talk show with nothing left of what made it great. Not worth the time anymore.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rod Emory's Def Leppard Porsche Outlaw
Q: If you could secretly replace one famous Porsche in the Porsche Museum with one of your Outlaws, what would it be?
Rod would swap in a crazy 935 era car or his own early 356 RSR outlaw for a striking contrast, emphasizing his philosophy of blending rare, bold looks with authentic engineering.
Doing Donuts with Nolan Sykes and Joe Weber
Q: How did you two end up collaborating with Spike's Car Radio?
Spike invited us to join a collab and we explained our origin story, how Donut grew with James Pumphrey and the team, and why a cross-pollination with Spike's audience makes sense given shared interests in cars and culture.
Why Jay Leno Will NEVER Stop Buying Cars
Q: What's the oldest thing you own that you'll never get rid of?
A glass glass giraffe gifted in childhood, which has remained a sentimental keepsake; it represents the long arc of nostalgia in Jay Leno's collection.
We Bought the Lowest Mileage Early Porsche 911 IN THE WORLD!
Q: What was the turning point that convinced you to buy the Dutch police 911?
The combination of its ultra-low mileage, its provenance connecting to Jerry Seinfeld, and the authenticity of the undamaged body work convinced us that the car deserved a place in our collection.
The REAL Reason You Can’t Buy a GT3 w/ Andy Preuninger
Q: What is the practical reasoning behind launching the GT3 Sc instead of a Speedster at this time?
The decision hinged on time-to-market constraints and European emission regulations; a fully new Speedster would have added at least a year to development and production, whereas the GT3 Sc could be developed within the existing platform and production line while meeting regulatory and market demands.
