  • Comedic, Cynical, w/ a Touch of the ‘tism

    Big fan of Carmudgeons Derek and Jason together. They’re equally neurotic and detailed about very specific vehicles, particularly of the German variety - but not car snobs. A peek inside the neuroses of every car-obsessed people of the world, the delights that make us tick, and what nightmare cars and features GIVE us a tick.

  • German snobs

    If you like German cars; Porsche, Mercedes and BMW’s, and of course, VW’s, you’ll enjoy the show. Those are the only cars they seem to want to talk about. If they aren’t talking about them, wait 60 seconds and they will be. With as much knowledge as the 2 hosts obviously have, it is disappointing that they don’t care about discussing more brands a lot often.

  • Love The Podcast

    I truly appreciate your honesty and sincerity of your opinions, I just finished listening to Episode #225. “Do Race Cars Sell Road Cars”, I feel that the previous question’s answer predominantly applies to the golden age of NASCAR, when you could watch a race on Sunday and then go to a dealer on Monday to purchase a very similar vehicle. Even though Super Birds were prohibitedly expensive and a sales failure, you could still buy one. In other forms of racing such as Formula One, you are purchasi... more
