Donald Osborne is the CEO of Audrain Motorsport and the reason we got to drive a car made before 1910! Remember when we held up a city's worth of traffic on a bridge? We have him to thank. Sort of. Donald is an absolute car expert with a focus on vintage cars. As someone who has curated museum collections and assessed cars for collectors, he really knows the minutiae of so many vehicles. On this show we laugh about our famous traffic jam; talk about how we beat Donald in the "non-race" this year; discussed the comical differences between cars in the early 1900s; find out when he got his style; and check in on his surprisingly modern Ferrari.

Matt calls in from the Bernardus hotel with our friend and the founder and CEO of Range Energy, Ali Javidan. Ali is an engineer and high-caliber driver, who shares with us his take on why the GT3 RS is so stiff, why adjustable dampers matter as much as springs; his experience driving in Aspen at the FAT ICE Race; how to durability test a semi-truck trailer; why batteries need to be liquid-cooled; and when to ignore rock chips. Note: This show was recorded remotely with Matt and Ali calling into Zack at the studio. There were a lot of Wifi dropoffs and glitches but Zack did a bunch of hacking and stitching to remove those moments. As such, you might notice a few jumps and cuts. It was the best we could do.

What are the best EVs yet? Is charging getting better? Can the grid handle it? Which electric pickup would win in a cross-country race? Are batteries recyclable? All that and more with Kyle Connor. Kyle Connor is a YouTuber in command of a whopping 17 different channels. He focused on EVs, covering the space comprehensively. He has road tripped, towed with, tested, charged, and driven more EVs than most people will in a lifetime. As such, he has excellent insights into why EVs have the problems that they do, the state of the charging situation, battery recycling, the grid, and more. He recently completed a cross-country "race", where he and his co-hosts drove from Florida to Los Angeles in 4 electric pickup trucks. The results were literally susprising.

Morgan is a legendary company and for good reason. Yes, the cars are made of wood but the company has continued along while so many small companies have gone to rest. Jon Wells has that job so many of us covet: car designer. With a very brief stop at TVR, Jon went right from university to the design department of Morgan, becoming part of the team that designed so of the best and fastest cars Morgan ever made. He also led the team that designed the new Super 3, the successor to the famous and unique Morgan 3-Wheeler. Jon explains his education, how the cars used to be designed before his time, the evolution of construction, how much wood is in the cars, why building a popular off-roader was such a surprise; and why the new Super 3 has a new engine. Plus, we go around the table to list our Top 5 British roadsters of all time. Recorded February 13, 2024 Use Off The Record! and ALWAYS fight your tickets!

When is a car "safe enough"? Turns out it's not such a simple answer. From a lack of software oversight to self-certification issues to more recalls (from every company) than you could imagine, building cars is challenging, especially as ADAS systems get more common and complicated. Phil Koopman is an Associate Professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering. In the car realm, he is the writer of Safe Autonomy blog, covering self-driving technology. His new book, "How Safe is Safe Enough? Measuring and Predicting Autonomous Vehicle Safety", analyzes the alleged safety improvements that autonomous cars will provide. https://safeautonomy.blogspot.com/ https://safeautonomy.blogspot.com/2022/09/book-how-safe-is-safe-enough-measuring.html Massive list of recalls: https://betterembsw.blogspot.com/p/potentially-deadly-automotive-software.html Recorded January 16, 2024 Say goodbye to harsh smoke and coughing attacks by shopping the smoothest pipes, bubblers, bongs and more at https://www.thefreezepipe.com and use code TIRE for 10% off your entire order.

Speedy Cop has built the weirdest and most creative race cars you've ever seen. There's the airplane, or the tipped-over hippy bus, an amphibious helicopter that can drive on a highway or on a pond, or maybe you remember seeing photos of an UPSIDE DOWN Camaro racing around a track. All of those were built by Speedy Cop. Today we find out why the world was gifted such weird and amazing racing machines, where he's driven them, what went right and VERY WRONG, and what's next. https://speedycop.com/page/2/ @speedycop https://www.youtube.com/user/speedycopvideos Recorded May 30, 2023 Go to https://www.blackvue.com/TST to learn more about the BlackVue DR970X series dash cams.

Want to understand cars better? This is the show. David Twohig is an automotive engineer, journalist, and author. He was an engineering lead for the Nissan Qashqai, Alpine A110, Renault Zoe, and BYTON. On this episode he explains why cars are so hard to build; why focusing on weight isn't the priority of most OEMs; how expensive it is to change a button; the rising popularity of '90s Japanese cars in Europe; and so much more. His book, "Inside the Machine: An Engineer’s Tale of the Modern Automotive Industry" is a great insight into how difficult it is to build a car. The book gives some insight into why car companies do what they do and make the decisions they make. If you've ever asked "Why did they do that?" this book might give you some understanding. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/59522165 https://www.the-intercooler.com/library/writers/david-twohig/ https://www.cargroup.org/person/david-twohig/ Recorded May 26, 2023 Head to https://www.factormeals.com/tire50 and use code tire50 to get 50% off your first box Get 20% OFF with our code TIRE at https://www.calderalab.com/TIRE to unlock your youthful glow and be ready for summer with Caldera + Lab! #teamcaldera #ad Go to https://www.birddogs.com/tire and enter promo code TIRE for a free Yeti style tumbler with your order.

Mike Spagnola is the president of SEMA. Naturally we'll be talking about the EPA, the rise of EVs, and what the future of modded cars looks like. He's also built some seriously fast toys of his own, raced in open wheel, the Mint 400, and tracks an Ariel Atom. He's one of us. This conversation was fascinating. We talk about modified car trends; over-fenders; the overlanding explosion; what the EPA is trying to do to the car hobby; how SEMA's two Garages help small businesses build and test new parts (and get them approved by CARB); how SEMA is evolving; arrival of the EV swap; and why this year's SEMA is bigger than ever.
