  • Indispensable

    Irreverent, amusing, and at once both convivial and incredibly detailed. Cammisa and Tam-Hyphen-Scott should be at any car enthusiast’s dream dinner party.

    Irreverent, amusing, and at once both convivial and incredibly detailed. Cammisa and Tam-Hyphen-Scott should be at any car enthusiast’s dream dinner party. Somehow both a weekly-ish pod cast and a tour de force. It will be a very sad day when it ends.

  • Hands down the best car podcast regularly being recorded

    Jason and Derek have wonderful chemistry, boundless knowledge, and aren’t afraid to call OEM’s/products/trends out when they’re in need of being flamed. Always wonderful part of my week that I carve out time for.

    Jason is a pro who seems to generally grasp what makes compelling car content, which makes it all the more difficult to understand why he’s chosen a talking quaalude for a co-host. With his total indifference to any topic and grating lazy vocal fry, he could just say “haaaaated it” to everything Jason says and the effect would be identical.

    TBH, if JC wants this podcast to continue, and based on this most recent boring Hagerty commercial disguised as a podcast I’m not sure he does, Derek need... more
