Jeff is back in the podcast studio and he's joined this week by great friend of the show Zack Klapman. The two talk about Zach's adventure in Germany and his ongoing search for a car. Zack has narrowed it down to hunting for the right E36 M3. Meanwhile, Jeff has some HoonTruck updates and he also recently took a quick spin in a Superformance GT40 MkII.Also, it's finally live!

Jeff is back from Goodwood. No, this isn't the Scotland Part Deux episode that some of you were hoping to find. Instead, this is a more sober look back at what just might be the greatest automotive event on the planet.Besides Goodwood, Jeff talks about some HoonTruck stuff and a few upcoming trips. One of those will see him driving the new Grand Sport Corvette, so stay tuned for a report on that one.

Once again Los Angeles traffic has split Jeff and I from our hosting duties, however all is not lost. Ken Anderson head of Mountune here in the states and Carlos Lago join me for an extended chat.  Ken shares pretty much everything he can about the development work they're doing on the Focus RS; making it even more impressive.  Carlos joins in shortly after we start and the turbo Ford talk turns into an appreciation for all things small 4 cylinder and turbo.  In addition we spend a little time on the hypercars of 2015 we all adore but few will touch.

Duncan and Jeff are in the podcast studio to cover all things motorspots. The pair have missed a few weekends of racing, as life gets in the way, but they couldn't miss chatting about this past weekend. It was, after all, the 24 Hours of Le Mans!There's also talk of the past Indy 500, a slew of F1 races including Monaco and Baku, and the upcoming Indy Car calendar which sees the circus traveling to Road America.

Jeff is on the road, which means you get a shorty podcast today... but surprisingly not a drunk one. He's in Aspen where he just got done testing the new Jaguar XE and F-Pace. He's on his way to Phoenix to see how an automaker does its hot-weather testing, and then the following week he's checking a bucket list item off his travel list. It's time for the Goodwood Festival of Speed!Also this week, there's talk of the Audi S8 Plus and the HoonTruck.

This week's episode wraps up our SEMA 2016 series of podcasts.  This time Jason Connor and I are joined by good friends Mike Musto (/Drive, Big Muscle, Road & Track) and Larry Kosilla (AMMO Autocare, /Drive Clean, Drive+Protect). This was my final episode from the showfloor and we went out with a bang alongside my voice.

Grab a beer. Sit back. Enjoy yourself... as we once again dive headfirst into the world that is the YouTube comment section. It's time to walk through the minds of folks who should probably step back from their computers and take a breather.

In our penultimate SEMA 2015 episode Jason Conner (@TerminatorConn) and I sit down with Texas Speed and Performance.  In easily one of my favorite episodes from SEMA we cover Taxas Speed's mail order tuning business, the evolution of their small block business, the Gen 6 Camaro, the Texas Mile, the realities of internet racing versus reality and what it takes to manufacture their own cylinder heads and camshafts.

Jeff and Chris are in the studio to talk random automotive BS. The topics include the new Camaro, a Fox Body Mustang with an LS V8, Lexus GS F, and some more YouTube comments.

Duncan Ende and Jeff sit down to recap the goings on in some of their favorite racing series. There was plenty of action in Formula One recently. IMSA was active and IndyCar was running at Barber the week prior. Duncan leads the way this week and we meander through motorsports madness in this Race Recap.

Long Beach played host to IMSA, IndyCar, and the Pirelli World Challenge. Each race had its highlights and its lowlights, and the hosts dive into all of it on this fresh Race Recap

After that we meander through listener questions before a few updates on the truck and other things we've driven.

Friends from Jalopnik Andrew Collins and Freddy "Tavarish" Hernandez join us in the podcast studio. The pair are fresh off a trip to Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari, and they've also got plenty to talk about besides freezing their asses off in Utah. We learn a bit about covering the Dakar rally, and dive into the insane driveway of Tavarish. There's a dash of news in the beginning before we descend into the madness.

We're back in the studio and it's time to dive into some new car news. The NY Auto Show is here, and there are a number of new rides to chat about. We chat about the Golf AllTrack, Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk, Jaguar F-Type SVR, and the fact that Koenigsegg will have a presence for the first time at a US Auto Show.From there we move to a talk on the new Chevy Camaro ZL1 before diving into our own vehicles. Guest Joe Carioti has a heck of a fleet himself, and recently added a 2008 Saab 9-3 into the mix.Finally, we take your social media questions before diverging on some final thoughts.

Jeff is joined by racing driver Duncan Ende, and the two chat about what's going on in the world of motorsports over the prior weekend. The focus is mostly Pirelli World Challenge racing, as that's where Duncan spends his time right now. There are other bits of racing discussed, however, and there's a bit of chatter about regular road car things as well.So jump on in to the first Race Recap episode!

Jeff is hosting solo today. He decides to spend his time heathily... by descending into the abyss of YouTube comments. Be warned all who enter here... there is no safety ahead.

Once again live from SEMA, this time Jason, Jon and I sit down and chat with the legendary Johh Hotchkis of Hotchkis Suspension fame.  

We're back in the studio! Jeff and Chris finally cleared their hectic schedules to sit down and stare at each other for an hour. Thankfully, guest Zack Klapman is there to break up the awkwardness and regale us with tales of his car buying adventure.
