Teamclearcoat - An Automotive Enthusiast Podcast By Two Car Nerds

Parting with a car can be difficult, especially when you are also parting with the idea or the potential of what that vehicle could be. In this week's episode we discuss Ian finally letting go of his beloved Saab TurboX SportCombi and how he feels about the newest addition to the Apex Adjacent garage.

There's having cars, then there's having CARS. Our good buddy Donnie certainly has had some CARS, so when the prospect of Donnie doing a deep dive on how his automotive ownership has overlapped with the famous rappington rapper of rapperies, Birdman, we had no choice but to beam him in to the virtual blanket fort and provide a platform for what is certainly one of the best Microsoft PowerPoint presentations ever made. We love you everyone, stay safe.

Who you gonna call when you need a JDM camper van that may leave you stranded on mountain passes? Who could answer the call to provide transportation that lulls you to sleep as you comfortably waft from the board room to the tee box? Hat Bro and Golf Boi!

When Dr. Ian is your consulting physician in your oddball automotive purchasing decision, the results are guaranteed to be nothing less than fantastic and adorable.

In this week's episode we dig deep on a super odd car sent to us by way of our buddy Eric. We also discuss some less nightmare-ish topics such as Peedah's amazing E36 M3 and spotting a pre-production Cadillac V.

It's not really the most fiscally responsible way of figuring out what those weird passenger seat buttons are on a Lexus, but we're not your normal automotive podcast, are we? We love you.

In this week's episode our show is graced by our longtime friend Jonny. Jonny is an amazing auto detailer and a walking Pontiac knowledge base, so naturally we show him one of the weirdest Pontiac-based things ever.

In this week's episode, we discuss Ian's hyper-contagious condition, which in someways is worse than our current pandemic, shrug emoji? We also entertain ourselves with a very not-wacky Nissan Rouge with an absolutely bonkers nickname. We love you. Stay home and stay safe everyone.

BIG thanks to Jesse, Donnie, and Peedah for dropping in and guesting on our 250th episode! We had a lot of fun talking Fantasy F1 and Fiats with Jesse, bonkers Florida tales with Donnie, and lockdown pastimes with Peedah. Thank you everyone for listening, we're looking forward to putting out 250 more! We love you.

Ugh. The world is still a crapshow, and crappy things continue to be done by crappy people, further exposing their crappiness. Like I said earlier, Ugh. If it's any consolation, we introduce a new game featuring vanity license plates! We love you.

Our resident ginger is in a bit of a pickle with his Old Man Sedan Infiniti M45 as he has finally found the source of the car's overheating issue. In typical fashion, Ian offers a very elegant and practical solution. Sure. We love you everyone, stay home and stay safe.

In this week's episode we discuss the first African American automotive designer for a major corporation, McKinley Thompson Jr. He contributed to some incredibly amazing designs throughout his career, and we're really thankful to be able to reflect on his legacy and his artistic vision.

In this week's episode we pick up where we left off last week. We reflect on the events of the last few weeks and our take-away thoughts that have come up since our last show. We also talk about how politics and car culture can never be separated, and throw in some of our usual goofball antics. Stay home, stay safe, take care of yourselves and others. We love you everyone.

This isn't a normal episode for us, and these are certainly not normal times. If you're looking for an escape from current events and news, we'd suggest you check out another one of our episodes or videos, just want to let you know that right off the hop. Given the recent events, the brutal murder of George Floyd at the hands of police officers, the government using armed forces to intimidate our fellow citizens, and the awful shift toward fascism that we're currently faced with, It's just not the right moment for us to do a zany car show.

Go ahead and insert your own guitar solo noises as often as you'd like during this episode, especially during the part where we discuss a VERY BOLD declarative vanity plate on an otherwise middle of the road sports car. In addition to our reckless ranting, we talk about the stuff you wonderful goofballs sent us. Thank you, stay home, stay safe, and we love you!

It's not often that we wander into an even remotely good idea, but here we are, firmly planted in our new business idea, Tetanus and Tragedy. Stay safe everyone, we love you.

In this week's episode we discuss a very VERY green Porsche as well as get updates from Ian's dad, an FMKCars from our buddy Eric, and some great Craigslist finds from our buddy Marc. We love you everybody, stay home, and stay safe.

Oh we get INTO it this week! Queue the Law and Order theme music! Our dear friend Marc sent us a perplexing Carstanza, so we decide to dig in, live-ish on air to show you REAL CARSTANZA INVESTIGATION IN REAL TIME!

In this week's episode we unearth Ian's video game and virtual track day spirit animal, so to speak. Dave's cars are both in need of mending, and he thinks he knows what started it all. Stay safe everyone, we love you.

Sometimes it's worth revisiting Carstanzas of days past, and sometimes revisiting said automotive insanity sends Dave into catatonic shock. We also talk about the latest Cannonball ahem...record(?) and idiots that continue to not only be idiots, but be idiots that buy vanity plates. We love you everyone, stay safe, we'll get through this.
