Podcasts about Ford Mustang

C'est la rentrée pour Recoversion. Dans ce premier épisode de la huitième saison, je vous raconte comment la panne d'une Ford Mustang a engendré la composition du morceau le plus diffusé en Europe en 2002.Je vous parle également de la relève de l'Indie-Pop Australien. Bonne écoute ! La suite dans l'épisode ou dans les lien ci-dessous.

A car can be ahead of its time and still get remembered for the loudest headline. That's exactly why we brought on Greg “Riley” Riley, Corvair author, lifelong enthusiast, and engine builder, to walk with us through what the Chevrolet Corvair actually was and what really happened to its reputation.We start with the 1950s roots of the project under GM engineering legend Ed Cole and why Chevrolet aimed the Corvair directly at Volkswagen. Then we follow the market twist that turned a plain economy idea into the sporty Monza phenomenon, plus the sales numbers that don't match the “failure” narrative. From there, Riley breaks down the core of the controversy: Ralph Nader, Unsafe at Any Speed, the early swing axle rear suspension, and how tires and media coverage shaped public perception. We also talk about the other earthquake that hit the segment, the 1964 and a half Ford Mustang, and why a conventional layout stole attention from a truly unconventional American car.Along the way we nerd out on the Corvair's innovations: a rear-engine air-cooled flat-six years early, turbocharging in 1962, the original “frunk” before EVs made them cool again, and model details like the Lakewood wagon's unique glass. Riley also clears up the fan belt myth with practical advice about correct belt design and proper tension. Then we shift gears with Texas road trip inspiration featuring cabooses, ranch stays, and dogtrot-style lodging, and we close with automotive news you can use: IRS auto loan deduction rules, gap coverage, negative equity, Federal Reserve rate increases, and dealership growth in the Sunbelt.If you like smart car history, real-world ownership tips, and a little road trip fuel, hit subscribe, share the show with a car friend, and leave us a review.

A single week on the calendar can hold the whole arc of car culture: obsession, innovation, shortcuts, and consequences. We start in 1948 with what sounds like a normal used-car buy, when Al Moss picks up an MG TC in Southern California. That small British sports car lights a fuse. Racing, driving around Los Angeles, and frustration with weak dealer support eventually push Moss to open his own shop, which grows into Moss Motors, one of the best-known sources for MG and British sports car parts in America.Then we jump to speed and controversy at Talladega. The inaugural Talladega 500 in 1969 brings the Dodge Charger Daytona to NASCAR, complete with the dramatic nose and massive rear wing that defined an era of homologation specials. We talk about the driver boycott over tire failure fears, why the Daytona still wins, and how the Plymouth Superbird fits into the same aero story, right down to the practical vinyl-top detail that helps you tell them apart.From there it's rapid product evolution with the first major 1966 Ford Mustang update and what those changes say about the Pony Wars and manufacturing pressure. We also highlight Road Atlanta's opening day with Can-Am and how it becomes a landmark American road course. Finally, the mood shifts hard with Dieselgate: the 2015 EPA announcement that Volkswagen and Audi diesels allegedly used software to recognize emissions testing, turning a technical issue into one of the biggest corporate scandals in modern American history.If you love automotive history, classic cars, NASCAR legends, the Ford Mustang story, and the real-world impact of emissions regulation, hit play.

Andy Cook took a left back, put her at number nine, and she scored 22 goals and won a league. That's not a hunch — that's a coaching philosophy.In Part 2, Andy Cook gets into the part of youth soccer player development that doesn't fit on a session plan: culture, trust, and reading the player in front of you. He took over a Nottingham Forest side sitting one place above relegation and, four years later, won the league and the cup with several of the same players who'd been there on day one. The thing he changed first wasn't the formation. It was telling every player, every week, exactly why she was starting or why she wasn't.He's blunt about systems, too. If you've got a Ford Mustang in the garage, you don't work on it like it's a Lamborghini — and the coaches he rates most, Pep included, are the ones who bend the shape to the players rather than the other way around. For anyone coaching youth, his line is simple: until 18, the individual is everything, and the team is a scoreboard that doesn't matter yet.There's also a straight conversation about why England has caught up to the United States in the women's game, two non-negotiables he'll build any program on, and the answer he gives parents when they ask what to look for in a coach. Plus the signature closer — his greatest influence as a player, and separately as a coach.Key Talking PointsBecoming a dad while coaching Sunderland's academy — and how watching his own son learn changed how he coachesNottingham Forest: taking over a side one place above relegation and winning a league and cup double four years laterThe one rule he set on day one — every selection decision gets explained, however long it takesMoving Charlotte Greengrass from left back to number nine, and the 22-goal season that followedCoaching the players in front of you instead of the formation in your head — with Pep, Haaland, and Bayern as the case studyWhy the individual is paramount until 18, and why teams at youth level don't win anything on their ownProtecting joy: at 27 you should still play the game like you're 7 — and what screaming from the sideline does to a 7-year-oldWhy England caught up to the US women's game, and where he ranks the technical nationsAccountability and respect as the only two non-negotiables — right down to how you leave the away changing roomHis answer for parents: look for honesty, and check whether what the coach says shows up on the pitchQuotes from Andy Cook“Every decision I make, I'm gonna explain it to you. It doesn't matter whether it takes me an hour or whether it takes me two minutes.”“My eyes don't lie. If I've got a group of footballers in front of me, my first instinct is always to go, what can they do now?”“If a guy brings a Ford Mustang into your garage, you're not gonna deal with it like you would a Lamborghini.”“Teams at youth level don't do anything. It's the individual.”“At 27, you should still play the game like you're 7.”“If at 7 years old you're having the fun kicked out of you because somebody on the sideline is screaming, whether that's a parent or a coach, I think it's so wrong.”“You put her up front, and it was like you'd freed her from the shackles of a defender.”“The two biggest ones for me are accountability and respect, and that really starts with me.”“I want a team that leaves the changing room better than what it was when we got in there.”“The first thing that a parent needs to look out for is honesty.”Connect with Andy Cook✖️ X: @AndyCook87Follow Chat By The Pitch

Vamos un tema apasionante y que siempre genera debate: los coches más míticos de la historia. Si reunimos a cien aficionados, obtendremos cien listas distintas, pero en este repaso no nos guiamos solo por gustos personales. Vamos a hablar de verdaderos hitos y progresos tecnológicos; modelos que, de no haber existido, habrían hecho que la industria automotriz actual fuera completamente irreconocible. Recorramos el siglo XX y el XXI para descubrir a los 20 culpables de esta evolución: 1. Ford Model T (1908): Democratizó el automóvil con la cadena de montaje. El coche dejó de ser un capricho aristócrata para estar al alcance de las masas. 2. Bugatti Type 35 (1924): El purasangre. Definió el coche de carreras como algo ligero, equilibrado y bellísimo, ganando más de 1.000 competiciones. 3. Volkswagen Beetle (1938): Símbolo de supervivencia y libertad en la posguerra. Su motor trasero refrigerado por aire lo hizo casi eterno y motorizó a medio mundo. 4. Jeep Willys (1941): El soldado infatigable que ayudó a ganar la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el padre absoluto del concepto todoterreno (4x4). 5. Citroën DS (1955): Llegado del futuro. Su suspensión hidroneumática y frenos de disco supusieron un salto cuántico en seguridad y confort que la industria tardó décadas en igualar. 6. Fiat 500 (1957): El milagro italiano del diseño minimalista. En apenas 3 metros de largo permitió que familias enteras se desplazaran, creando el coche urbano moderno. 7. Mini (1959): Aprovechó el espacio al máximo con su motor transversal y tracción delantera, el esquema que utiliza hoy el 90% de los compactos del mundo. 8. Jaguar E-Type (1961): El Gran Turismo por excelencia. Un deportivo hermosísimo y avanzado que aterrorizó a Ferrari por costar solo una fracción de su precio. 9. Porsche 911 (1963): La evolución contra la lógica. Más de 60 años perfeccionando su motor trasero para ser el deportivo más polivalente y leal a su esencia de la historia. 10. Ford Mustang (1964): El primer "Pony Car". Vendió un millón de unidades rápidamente al inventar el segmento de deportivos asequibles, definiendo a toda una generación. 11. Ford GT40 (1964): La venganza americana. Diseñado con el único objetivo de humillar a Ferrari en Le Mans, introduciendo la telemetría y la aerodinámica avanzada. 12. Lamborghini Miura (1966): El nacimiento del superdeportivo. Introdujo el V12 central bajo una carrocería de Marcello Gandini que es pura irracionalidad y belleza. 13. Range Rover (1970): Cambió el paradigma del todoterreno rudo sumando motor V8 y suspensión de muelles. Podías cruzar un desierto con el confort de un salón de lujo. 14. Lancia Stratos (1973): Revolucionó los rallyes al ser el primer coche diseñado desde cero y exclusivamente para ganar el Mundial. 15. Volkswagen Golf GTI (1976): El deportivo del pueblo. Permitió tener prestaciones de competición en el mismo coche que usabas para ir al supermercado. 16. Audi Quattro (1980): La tracción total dejaba de ser solo para camiones. Audi demostró que cuatro ruedas empujando son mejores que dos, cambiando las reglas de seguridad activa. 17. Ferrari F40 (1987): El legado puro de Enzo Ferrari. Sin ayudas electrónicas, un V8 biturbo salvaje donde el piloto era el único protagonista frente a la máquina. 18. Mazda MX-5 Miata (1989): Aplicó la fiabilidad japonesa al descapotable ligero europeo. Hoy sigue siendo el roadster más vendido del mundo por su pura diversión al volante. 19. McLaren F1 (1992): La perfección analógica de Gordon Murray. Asiento central y motor V12 recubierto de oro para ser el coche de producción más rápido durante una década. 20. Toyota Prius (1997): El primer híbrido de masas. Anunció el fin de la era del petróleo puro y demostró que la electrificación era el inevitable futuro de la industria. Elegir solo veinte modelos es intentar resumir más de un siglo de ingenio humano. Cada uno de estos vehículos rompió una regla, abrió un camino o salvó a su empresa. Son, en definitiva, las piedras angulares de nuestra cultura del automóvil, y los coches que conducimos hoy son como son gracias a ellos.

Join Hoda and her guests as they bring Career Literacy to life through real stories and lived experiences. Liv Pennie challenges us to rethink traditional career education, noting that for many adults, their school‑based career experience “is often a really negative reflection… wrapped up in one bucket of careers.” How would you describe your own experience? You'll also hear from high school student Christopher Ibarra, who shares how meaningful career learning shaped his future. As Christopher puts it: “Education can change us — who we are and what we wanna do in the future… you're opening a new chapter in your life that you never knew you could have opened.” If education can open chapters we never knew were possible, what chapter might a young person be waiting to discover?  Reflect and share.   Guest 1 Bio In 2017, Liv started BECOME Education to reimagine careers education. She holds an MA in Psychology and a Postgrad in Career Development. She spent 15 years in advertising, digital product and experience design. Liv brings together these worlds of academia and innovation to close the gap between evidence and practice in careers education. BECOME Education's work transforming careers education in schools has been recognised by the OECD as an example of global best practice.   Guest 2 Bio Christopher is a high school student who has experienced career education firsthand. I will read his bio as he shared it with me.  Hello everyone, my name is Christopher Vargas Ibarra! I am a senior at Bostonia Global High which is a competency-based school. My goal is to become an automotive technician and I have previous experience by having a pre-apprenticeship at the San Diego Automotive Museum where me and my co-workers restored a 1966 Ford Mustang to life after 25 years of it sitting. I also was at the City of El Cajon: Fleet Services where I serviced fire trucks, police cruisers, utility trucks, and more!  

A car ad says $299 a month, the salesperson says “trust me,” and somehow you're staring at a payment that makes no sense. We bring in Dom Genova, a former Chrysler factory rep who built his own dealership by refusing to play the usual sales games, to explain what really happens between the headline number and the contract you sign.Dom lays out a simple idea that feels almost radical in the modern showroom: “real price and real payment.” We talk through why so many buyers hate buying cars, how fine print can quietly change the meaning of an offer, and why rebate language like “all rebates apply” often doesn't mean what shoppers think it means. We also dig into the tactics and psychology dealers use to control the conversation, including how confusing worksheets and payment-focused negotiation can hide the true cost. Along the way, Dom shares stories from inside the business and the mindset that helped his stores win repeat customers across generations.Then we pivot to pure car culture: Jeff breaks down the latest report on a possible four-door Ford Mustang, potentially branded Mach 4, with big claims on price, performance, and even hybrid powertrain rumors. Finally, Marrs shares summer driving destinations near Houston, from Armand Bayou Nature Center to Space Center Houston, plus easy day trips that keep the “still on vacation” feeling alive.If you want smarter car buying tips, clearer dealership negotiation advice, and the latest automotive news with a little humor, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review.

Si and Lana thought naming cars after animals wasn't really a thing... until the listeners called in and completely blew their minds!

In den Sechzigern bringt ausgerechnet die eher konservative Ford Motor Company das Auto auf den Markt, das perfekt zum Lebensgefühl der Zeit passt: den Ford Mustang. General Motors reagiert prompt mit einem Me-too-Produkt, dem Chevrolet Camaro.In den 2000er-Jahren wiederholt sich die Geschichte. Ford landet mit der fünften Mustang-Generation im Retro-Design einen Überraschungserfolg, worauf Chevrolet eine moderne Neuinterpretation des Camaro folgen lässt.Für zusätzliche Aufmerksamkeit sorgt ein Auftritt in den „Transformers“-Filmen, darin kann sich der freundliche Autobot "Bumblebee" vom Planeten Cybertron zur Tarnung in einen gelben Camaro verwandeln. In den folgenden Jahren schiebt Chevrolet zahlreiche leistungsstarke Varianten nach. Spätestens mit der ab 2016 gebauten sechsten Generation spielt der Camaro auch qualitativ in einer Liga mit Europas Sportwagen-Elite. In der besonders rennstreckentauglichen Version ZL1 1LE erzielt er sogar eine bemerkenswerte Zeit auf der Nürburgring-Nordschleife. Aber reicht das für eine Zukunft als Klassiker? Darüber diskutieren diesmal Frank Otero Molanes, Jens Seltrecht und Lukas HambrechtExecutive Producer: Christoph Falke & Ruben Schulze-FröhlichProjektleitung: Lukas HambrechtSounddesign & Produktion: Fabian SchäfflerMarketing und Ansprechpartner: Bastian SchonauerCopyrights Cover: www.oldtimer-markt.de Hosted on Acast.

¿Qué ocurriría si algunos de los coches más míticos de la historia se lanzaran exactamente igual en pleno 2026? ¿Podrían venderse? ¿Superarían las normativas actuales? ¿Seguirían siendo tan especiales? En este vídeo hacemos un ejercicio de imaginación muy interesante: Escogemos algunos de los automóviles más legendarios jamás fabricados y los analizamos con los criterios de homologación actuales. Dejamos a un lado la nostalgia para comprobar hasta qué punto las normas de seguridad, las emisiones y las nuevas exigencias técnicas han cambiado el automóvil. El viaje comienza con iconos de la sencillez como el Citroën 2CV o el Mini original, dos coches que revolucionaron la movilidad de millones de personas gracias a soluciones extremadamente ingeniosas y económicas. Sin embargo, vistos con los ojos de hoy, ninguno podría superar las pruebas de choque ni cumplir las exigencias de protección a peatones o las futuras normativas de emisiones. También analizamos deportivos que marcaron una época, como el Ford Mustang de primera generación, el Peugeot 205 GTI, el BMW M3 E30, el Ferrari F40 o el Lancia Delta HF Integrale. Todos ellos representan una forma de entender la conducción basada en la ligereza, la sencillez mecánica y la participación activa del conductor. Pero precisamente esas cualidades serían hoy sus principales enemigos. Los controles electrónicos de estabilidad, los asistentes obligatorios a la conducción, las normativas Euro 7, los requisitos de protección en impactos laterales o las exigencias de reducción de emisiones obligarían a rediseñar completamente estos modelos. En muchos casos conservarían su aspecto exterior, pero su personalidad cambiaría por completo. Motores híbridos o eléctricos, plataformas mucho más pesadas, estructuras reforzadas, numerosos airbags, radares, cámaras y sistemas electrónicos transformarían radicalmente la experiencia de conducción. También repasamos ejemplos de coches populares como el Renault 5 o el Fiat Panda original. Ambos nacieron con una filosofía de sencillez, bajo coste y facilidad de mantenimiento que hoy resulta prácticamente imposible de reproducir. La incorporación obligatoria de asistentes electrónicos, sistemas de seguridad y estructuras mucho más complejas incrementa considerablemente el peso y el precio de cualquier automóvil moderno. El Mazda MX-5 original pone el broche final a este recorrido. Sigue siendo uno de los mejores ejemplos de coche ligero y divertido, pero incluso él tendría que renunciar a elementos tan característicos como los faros escamoteables, además de incorporar toda la electrónica y los sistemas de seguridad que hoy exige la legislación. Este análisis permite comprobar hasta qué punto el automóvil ha evolucionado. Los vehículos actuales son mucho más seguros, eficientes, limpios y tecnológicamente avanzados que los de hace cuarenta o cincuenta años. Los sistemas de protección actuales salvan miles de vidas cada año y han reducido enormemente las consecuencias de los accidentes. Sin embargo, también es cierto que buena parte del carácter mecánico de aquellos coches ha desaparecido. La ligereza extrema, las direcciones completamente comunicativas, la ausencia de filtros electrónicos y la necesidad de que el conductor dominara realmente la máquina forman parte de una época difícilmente repetible. La intención de este vídeo no es afirmar que cualquier tiempo pasado fue mejor, sino entender por qué aquellos coches fueron posibles en su momento y por qué hoy sería prácticamente imposible fabricarlos de la misma manera. Al final, la evolución del automóvil siempre ha consistido en encontrar el equilibrio entre seguridad, eficiencia, coste, prestaciones y emociones. Y quizá ese equilibrio nunca haya sido tan complejo como en la actualidad. Porque, aunque los clásicos nos hagan soñar, basta analizarlos con objetividad para comprender todo lo que ha cambiado la industria... y todo lo que hemos ganado, aunque también hayamos perdido parte de aquella magia mecánica que hizo inolvidables a muchos de estos automóviles.

In this episode, we share our first impressions of the all-new 2026 Dodge Charger. The Charger features new styling and a hatchback design, a twin-turbo inline-six-cylinder engine, all-wheel drive, and an updated interior that feels small, despite the vehicle's overall size. We also discuss what Dodge got right, where the Charger falls short, and whether we'd recommend it over other enthusiast-focused vehicles. Plus, we answer a question about the differences between racing fuel and premium gas, and how octane ratings and ethanol-free fuel can affect performance in regular vehicles.   SHOW NOTES: 0:00 - Intro 0:19 - 2026 Dodge Charger R/T Blacktop Overview 1:18 - What we like about the 2026 Dodge Charger 04:51 - Ride, Performance, Comfort & Daily Driving 17:46 - The Downsides: Interior, Controls & Practicality 36:05 - Would We Buy the New Dodge Charger? 41:12 - Audience Question: Is Racing Fuel Worth It?   LINKS: Review: 2026 Dodge Charger R/T: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/sports-cars/dodge-charger-review-a9212537968/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT Test Results: 2026 Ford Mustang: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/ford/mustang/2026/overview/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT Why You might Not Need Premium Fuel: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/fuel-economy-efficiency/why-you-might-not-actually-need-premium-gas-a6382185831/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT

674. Part 2 of our conversation about prison reform with returning guest Leslie Bary. In this episode, we discuss Leslie Bary's recent article, “From Angola with Love: Activism, Academics, and the Abolitionist Future,” which chronicles her thirty-year journey providing post-conviction relief and solidarity for death row and maximum-security prisoners at the Louisiana State Penitentiary. Leslie examines the intersection of praxis and theory, the limitations of the prison-industrial complex, and the evolving relationship between academic work and abolitionist activism.Leslie Bary is an Assistant Professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where she specializes in Latin American literature and cultural theory. A Comparative Literature scholar with a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, her work often bridges the gap between literary studies and humanitarian support, including recent efforts assisting ICE detainees in Louisiana.

Acadian Reminiscences.     In the cold winter days the family assembled in the hall, where a goodly fire blazed on the hearth, and while the wind whistled outside, our grandmother, an exile from Acadia, would relate to us the stirring scenes she had witnessed when her people were driven from their homes by the British, their sufferings during their long pilgrimage overland from Maryland to the wilds of Louisiana, the dangers that beset them on their long journey through endless forests, along the precipitous banks of rivers too deep to be forded.     And as she spoke, we drew closer to her, and grouped around her and stirred not, lest we lose one of her words.     When she spoke of Acadia, her face brightened, her eyes beamed with a strange brilliancy, and she kept us spellbound, so eloquent and yet so sad were her words, and then tears trickled down her aged cheeks and her voice trembled with emotion.

We discovered Robert Kennedy a few years ago, thanks to his rather unique ability to put the Ford Mustang's generational history into the context of the times when each version was introduced and sold in the marketplace, rather than the all-too-common apples-to-oranges comparisons of models that came before or after. Kennedy's self-produced “Adapt Or Die” YouTube video about the significant impact that the 1974-78 Mustang II had on the successful lineage of Mustang's product history was the kind of perspective put in context that helped the Mustang II shed those “Worst Mustang” and “Pinto Stang” labels that today's internet wannabe historians incorrectly regurgitate ad nauseum. John reached out to enlist Kennedy in a growing Mustang II movement that John and Mike founded in August of 2016. That's when Mike's “MOCSEM Mustang Memories & All Ford Show” at Ford World Headquarters hosted nearly 100 Mustang II's from across the country for the first-ever national second-gen reunion. In this podcast interview, Kennedy reveals how that involvement had inspired him to pen a massive self-published Mustang history book he called “Unbridled,” whose success has now led to an updated remake published by Motorbooks International alled “Mustang Unbridled” Listen in as Kennedy explains what makes his new hardbound Mustang history book so unique, while John commends him for some other children's books he's created and Mike salutes him for taking charge of the Mustang II Reunions that will mark their 10th anniversary event this summer.

Today's guest is Jon Davis -- his can trace his Mustang roots back to the original owner. How cool would it be if we all could step into that time machine. Jon, welcome to Ford Mustang, The Early Years Podcast.Quick recap:In this episode of the Ford Mustang: The Early Years Podcast, host Doug interviewed John Davis about his 1965 Ford Mustang, which John purchased in 2011 from its third owner, John shared details about the car's history, including its assembly in San Jose, California in August 1965, and its original LA market specifications. The Mustang, which John affectionately calls "Pony," has been well-maintained with recent suspension work and brake repairs, though John prefers its unrestored condition with its patina and original parts.Connect with the show:@mustangpodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/mustangpodcast/Interested in renting your Classic Ride for photo shoots?ClassicFordRentals.comGot a classic Ford in SoCal?

The dudes talk lots about the more obscure side of fun cars, but the Ford Mustang is something the fellas have experience with, and thus wanted to burn an episode talking horses. In an Ep that would make Mr. Hands blush, Chadwick and Frank talk all about pony cars. 

It keeps on happening, so we decided to put a stop to it – the myth that the Ford Mustang was named after the WWII fighter plane just won't go away. After a podcast subscriber spotted a big-name website pushing the falsehood, we knew we had to get Smart! No, not get wiser, but to get noted Mustang author, historian and expert Jim Smart to come on the podcast and reveal what Lee Iacocca and others had told him about the Mustang being named after a horse, John and Mike share their own insider info – from the likes of Gale Halderman and Hal Sperlich – to finally shoot down this Mustang myth once and for all.

Just back from Japan where I saw loads of JDM cars! Whether it was GTRs, S15s AE86s, Toyota Supras, NSXs and Honda Acty Kei Trucks, they had it all. But surprisingly there were lots of Ford Mustangs, Chevy Camaros, and Jeep Wranglers. I discuss the American car culture in Japan, as well as a major fuel contamination issue back in the states. I also talk about why AI might be the downfall of used car sales. That and a special giveaway on this edition of the show!

Ferdinand wanted to make cars for the people, but the Porsche brand we know is an empire of performance. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients, so here’s one of those. [ASAP Commercial Doors Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast. It’s the podcast where we talk about empires that were built, businesses, business empires. You know what we… If you’ve listened before, you know… Stephen Semple: Something like that. I get it. Businesses that have done pretty well over the years. Dave Young: They started small. Stephen Semple: They started small. Dave Young: They started small and then they got big. They got so big to the point that you could call them an empire. Stephen Semple: That’s it. That’s the idea. Dave Young: It’s a pretty simple premise. Stephen Semple: That’s it. Dave Young: So as we counted down, Steve told me the topic today and it’s Porsche. Stephen Semple: Yes, sir. Dave Young: Porsche. I’m assuming this is the car. Stephen Semple: The car, yes, the car. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: The car. Dave Young: And I’m trying to… I know some Porsche jokes, but I probably shouldn’t tell those on this show. I’m trying to think if I’ve ever actually been in a Porsche. Stephen Semple: Oh, well then you’ve got to come up and see me, Dave. Dave Young: You own one. I know you own one. Stephen Semple: Well, I have one. Bernier’s got two. I don’t know how many Steve has. Dave Young: I see how it is. I see how it is. Maybe I will tell my Porsche joke. So you guys that own them, do you call it Porscha? Because some of us just say Porsche. Stephen Semple: Well, if you actually take a look back, that’s the proper German pronunciation as Porsche. Dave Young: Porsche, okay. Stephen Semple: And it’s supposed to not be… It’s not Italian Porsche, right? So it’s Porsche. Dave Young: Porsche, Porsche. Okay, I’ll accept that. I’ll accept that. I’m guessing we’re- Stephen Semple: Well, look, you got to always call a dealership to double check. They’ll tell you. Dave Young: Now, if I had to guess where we’re headed to start this off sometime around the 40s, maybe earlier. Stephen Semple: A little earlier than that, actually. It was founded by Ferdinand Porsche in 1931 in Stuttgart, Germany. You’re not far off. But the interesting thing is where the growth really happened, even though that’s when it was founded, when things really started to happen, was actually post-World War II. Dave Young: That makes sense. Stephen Semple: You’re correct on that. Dave Young: So, it started in 31 and by the time you hit the late 30s and 40s, you’re part of the war machine. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So it was founded in 1931, Stuttgart, Germany by Ferdinand. And when we take a look at the history of the business for a very long time, they were a part of the VW group, although they were recently spun off into their own separate business. And there’s a lot of shared history between VW and Porsche. A lot of people make fun of the fact that it’s basically a VW. There’s so much connection. Now here’s the other thing is, there’s a lot of connection in Nazi Germany here as well. And I mean- Dave Young: That’s what I was intimating but trying not to say, but yes, there was definitely. Stephen Semple: And not one of these ones of, “Oh, I’m a business and I got sucked up into the machine.” I mean, very early on. Very early on. Ferdinand was a member of the SS following the war, both he and his son were charged. Dave Young: No kidding. Stephen Semple: He served two years in jail. His son six months. So we’re not talking loose connections here. He was a buddy of Adolf. Let’s just put it out there. And if you remember, going back to episode 21, VW was founded by Nazi Germany. So episode 21 about The Beetle, and Ferdinand was the guy who designed the Beetle. Dave Young: Right, right. I remember you saying that, Ferdinand Porsche. Stephen Semple: And look, Porsche has not always had the success it has today. It’s become pretty big. They do 40 billion EU in sales. They have 40,000 employees. They make 300,000 cars. There was a time that they’re making cars in the hundreds and thousands. It wasn’t that long ago. But let’s go back to Germany to the early 1900s. And if we think about Germany at that time, pre-World War II, pre-World War I, there was lots of history of engineering and science in Germany. More Nobel Prizes in Science was awarded to Germany than anywhere else in the world at that time. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: Germany was a real leader in science and engineering. And the first commercial automobile was made in Germany by Mercedes-Benz. So it’s 1906 and Daimler recruits Ferdinand because Ferdinand had been the winner of the Pottingham [inaudible 00:06:05] Prize, which is the automotive engineer of the year, which is given to new chief engineers and basically allows the person to have this designated doctor engineer honoris causa, Ferdinand Porsche. And he would go around calling himself all of that. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: And this is an honorary doctorate because he never actually finished college, but he had real engineering chops, Ferdinand. So he moves to Stuttgart, which at the time is a center of car making in Germany, including all the suppliers. And he works for Benz for 20 years. Okay. Now, it’s Germany in the 1930s and 2% of the population own a car in Germany as compared to the United States, which is 30%. Dave Young: In that time? Stephen Semple: In that time. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Ferdinand comes up with this idea of we should make an inexpensive car. We shouldn’t be making car for the wealthy. We should make an inexpensive car. The board rejects the idea. Ferdinand leaves in 1929. And in 1931… Kicks around for a few years, and then 1931 starts a consulting firm. Now, this dude knew how to name things. You’re ready for the name of the company? Dave Young: Of the consulting firm? Stephen Semple: Of the consulting firm. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: I have to read this to get it right. The Doctor Engineer Honoris Causa Ferdinand Porsche Construction and Consulting and Design Services for Motor Vehicles. Dave Young: Now, if I know anything about German, that was all one word that you just said, right? Stephen Semple: Well- Dave Young: No spaces in between any of those words. Stephen Semple: Translated, you’ll see it as Dr. in H period, C period, F period, Porsche, capital G, small M, small B, capital H. Dave Young: It just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Stephen Semple: Now, here’s the crazy thing. Up until 2009, that remained the official name of the company. You actually can find, if you see Porsche’s older than that, that if you look for that, it’ll be stamped somewhere in the car that that’s the manufacturer. Dave Young: They changed it finally because it was just too expensive to- Stephen Semple: It cost too much- Dave Young: Put that many letters in a dye cast. Stephen Semple: Exactly, exactly. Dave Young: Holy cow. Stephen Semple: So it’s 1934 and they land a contract with Germany to design a small affordable car for the people called the Volkswagen. Dave Young: Volkswagen. Stephen Semple: Beetle. Right, there you go. Now, here’s the thing that’s weird. Post World War II, the allies are in trying to rebuild Germany and no one owns VW. VW was owned by the state. So now it’s in the hands of the British and the British and the allies want to create a strong economy in West Germany because it’s now the Cold War. So the big defense to defending against East Germany and the expansion of communism is to really get the economy going in Germany. And so the British government, as we know from episode 21 about the Beetle, approached Porsche who designed it and said, “Help us get this car built.” And this is where it gets just a little bit weird because the son goes in one direction. Ferdinand’s doing his own thing. They both got arrested for war crimes. Son gets out first because he did six months. And his son’s name’s Ferry and his dad is in jail for two years. So between this time where dad’s still in jail and son’s out, here’s one of the things they did towards the end of the war. We don’t know exactly how many, but it was probably about 20 of their best engineers and they moved them out into the farmland of Austria and basically had them working in a barn because they didn’t want to get them arrested or killed, quite frankly. So Ferry gets out and he goes to this barn in Austria and he’s looking around and he goes, “What the heck are we going to do to make some money? Let’s start fixing up cars.” Now, not a huge business fixing up cars. It’s post-war and there weren’t a lot of cars in Germany anyway, but they had to do something. Then the dad gets out of jail and he ends up doing this work with Volkswagen. Now, here’s what’s interesting. And this is where the really tight ties between Porsche and Volkswagen start. The deal that the German government gives Ferdinand, the deal that the allies give Ferdinand is this. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories to Sell Ad] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: The deal that the allies give Ferdinand is this. We want your help designing and distributing this car. We will give you a royalty for every VW Beetle sold worldwide. Dave Young: Wow, that’s pretty generous. Stephen Semple: Well, no one knew it was going to be such a huge success and basically go for 50 years that car was being built. Dave Young: Right, right. Stephen Semple: So for a long time, the biggest source of revenue for Porsche was royalties on VW Beetle sales. Dave Young: Wow, okay. So it really- Stephen Semple: Isn’t that crazy? Dave Young: It really wouldn’t exist if that deal hadn’t been made. Stephen Semple: May not have, may not have. Now, meanwhile, Ferry, who has design chops of his own and loves cars, started tinkering around with vehicles. And what he started to do was put big engines in small cars. There was all these Beetle parts lying around. He would build a car, this little car, and he’d put a big engine in it. And if you go back in the time, if you go back and take a look in the late 30s, early 40s, and you take a look at Ferraris and things like that, you take a look at the race cars at the time, they were two-thirds engines. They’re these massive engines. So he went the opposite direction. He said, “Well, let’s take a little car and put a big engine in it.” And he’s driving around and he goes, “This is fun.” Because he’s basing it on parts lying around, which is the VW stuff. It’s an engine in the back. This becomes the Porsche 356, which is basically Porsche’s first car. So they start making this car and they wanted to make it somewhat affordable. So the price was $3,750, which would be $42,000 today. And they also wanted to have it as being a daily driver because again, everybody else making performance cars were not daily drivers, had a trunk, bunch of things, daily driver. And this is an important part of Porsche’s DNA. We’re going to come back to this a little bit later, this idea of it being a daily driver. So coming out of World War II, sports cars, industry’s happening and everybody’s got one. MG and Jag in the UK, there’s Ferrari in Italy, you get the idea. Now, one thing I forgot to mention that’s interesting and still today, the government state of Lower Saxony, which is basically would be the state, they still own 20% of Volkswagen. Dave Young: Really? Okay. Stephen Semple: I forgot to mention that. Dave Young: Who are they now? Stephen Semple: Well, Volkswagen’s still around. Volkswagen’s still- Dave Young: No, who is the Saxony? Stephen Semple: Well, it’d be like saying the state of Texas. It’s a state. Dave Young: Okay, it’s just a part of Germany. Stephen Semple: Part of Germany and that government still owns 20% of the company. Dave Young: What a world. Stephen Semple: Now there’s all this stimulus going on in Germany to try to get the economy going. One of the things that they did, there was a really interesting tax rate. There was an interesting tax structure. There was a very high marginal tax rate. Now, ordinary people were taxed at 15%, but the marginal tax rate could go as high as 95%. And the reason why they wanted to do this was create this incentive for reinvestment. So there’s all this… As they’re making money, there’s this heavy reinvestment. And in the early 50s, racing is really exploding. Automobile racing is really exploding, but the lines between professional and amateur is blurry. If you remember, James Dean and Steve McQueen and other actors, Paul Newman, were all racing. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: They’re all racing vehicles. And Jaguar and Porsche were trying to do the same thing in terms of creating this daily driver that you could race. Now in the end, Porsche won, and I think part of it is because quite frankly, they just built a better vehicle. There was a time where the joke with Jaguars was you had to own two because one would always be in the shop and one… And going back to the early DNA, Ferry Porsche was quoted as saying, “We have the only car that can go from an East African safari to race in the Le Mans to take out to theater and then drive on the streets in New York.” Dave Young: Wow, okay. Stephen Semple: And look, today, Porsche still heavily advertises that. They will advertise a Porsche driving through the snow with ski racks on it. And not their SUVs, the 911. This is very much part of it. And if you think about it, this parallels what Rolex did in the early days. You remember from episode 184 with Rolex. Rolex, the Submariner, the Explorer. Dave Young: Target by niche. Stephen Semple: Target by niche and make it tough and something that you could use and wear day to day. So it’s 1954 and Porsche’s selling 588 cars and about 40% of them is in the US. So really what’s making things hum with them is all those Beetle sales. And it’s the ’60s, the Ford Mustang comes out, the Jag E type comes out, the Austin-Healey comes out, and Porsche decides they need a new vehicle. And they were going to do a sedan, a four door sedan. But what they realized was they didn’t really want to compete with Mercedes and BMW. So they looked around at the other German car manufacturers and they said, “You know what? That’s probably not the place to go.” They had designed it up and that project failed. They had also been working on a six cylinder Boxter engine. So Boxter engine, the cylinders are opposed, so they’re like boxing. And the whole idea is that lowers the center of gravity of the weight of the engine. And they had a project that they were working on that that didn’t go ahead. So they stepped back and they went, “Maybe what we should do is just reduce the size of the sedan and put that engine in it.” That’s what they did. And that became the Porsche 901. Except there’s a problem. Peugeot had the copyright for zero in the middle of a bunch of numbers in France. They couldn’t call it the 901 because of that copyright. Dave Young: So they called it- Stephen Semple: So they called it the 911. And that’s now the iconic Porsche car. 1966, they sell 13,000 of these cars. Now, here’s the thing that I think is very interesting. And Porsche, as far as I could figure out, is the only car manufacturer that does this. First of all, they’ve maintained the 911 forever, but even on top of that, Porsche really understands design language. We can all recognize a Porsche. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: We can recognize one from 2020. We can recognize one from 1999. We can recognize one from 1970. Even though they’ve upgraded the technology, they’ve changed the design of the car. They’ve now come out with the Cayman and the Macan and the Cayenne. They’re all recognizable as that vehicle. They’ve done a great job of doing that. I think that was a lost opportunity, frankly, when Tesla came out because they had a clean design slate. Tesla could have done that. But I think that’s really interesting how they’ve managed to maintain, even though they’ll modernize it. In our minds, we still will see one and go, “That’s a Porsche.” Dave Young: Sure. And the great car brands are able to do that. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Audi is always going to be an Audi. Volvo is always going to look like a Volvo. And in the Portals class at Wizard Academy, one of the videos that I use to demonstrate that, there’s a language. If you combine specific shapes and specific lines, that all adds up to that brand of car. And so I’ve got an old video that I got when I was in the Motor Press Guild from Audi. It was just a video that was made for journalists with an Audi designer explaining all the lines on the car when they came out with the Q7 and how it still maintained the Audi design language. It was fascinating. Stephen Semple: It is. Dave Young: So Porsche could tell you that and the cool thing is those designers can tell you that. It’s hard for you and I to go, “Well, I can look at it and say, “That’s a Porsche.” But to be able to put it into words that describe it to someone else, is a gift. Stephen Semple: What’s really interesting, my nephew, Jeffrey, he loves Audi’s. That’s what he has. And he’ll even make the comment, he doesn’t like the Porsche’s because you feel like you’re in a bubble. Audis are very square. If you look at the back of an Audi and you look at the rear end of a Porsche, it has hips. But again, he’s even, “They’re great cars, but I like the squareness of the Audi.” So that’s interesting. Dave Young: Audi Audi has a fairly, not perpendicular, but an upright grill more so than a … And that’s part of their design language. Stephen Semple: So the whole DNA of Porsche came from this whole idea of a small car. Dave Young: Big engine. Stephen Semple: Big engine, daily driver, that was the whole idea is, it’s supposed to be a car that you can drive every day. That’s the core, core, core, core principle. That’s why they always have decent sized trunks. I remember when Gary bought his Boxter, one of the things he loved about it is you can actually put two sets of golf clubs in that car. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Right? Now, here’s what’s fun. There was a time where when they were really wanting to get things going, they did some great print advertisements. So they had ads like bug killer. Another one was calling it transportation is like calling sex reproduction. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Now, two of my favorites, one was not perfect. It would list 20 or 30 races that Porsche won. And if you actually read it, there was two that it didn’t. Dave Young: That they didn’t, “We didn’t win all the races.” Stephen Semple: So not perfect. Dave Young: That could have been driver error. Stephen Semple: That could have been. But Dave, you were going to make some jokes. Porsche’s able to laugh at itself. It actually had an ad that said, “Small penis? Have I got a car for you? If you’re going to overcompensate, then by all means, overcompensate.” Dave Young: I love it, I love it. Well, and that’s always the thing, the jokes are not about the car. Stephen Semple: But they actually ran that ad and I believe it ran in Car and Driver Magazine. I cannot imagine getting that ad approved. Dave Young: That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: And look, their own drivers are like, “Yeah, whatever.” Dave Young: Sure, compensating all I want. Absolutely. I love that story. Well, thank you, Stephen. I love the story of Porsche. Stephen Semple: There you go. Dave Young: And get out there and enjoy it or just buy me one and send it here. Thank you.

Ol' Dirty Bastard once saved a four-year old girl who was trapped under a Ford Mustang. He took a limo with an MTV news crew to collect his welfare check. He was charged with attempted murder of an NYPD officer. Chased by bloodthirsty Rottweilers. Shot by men in ski masks. His fame led to an addiction to cocaine, and that addiction led to ten arrests in the span of a few months. He was granted a weekend furlough from a rehab facility but went AWOL and wound up on the lam. Before long he wound up in Dannemora, aka Clinton Correctional Facility, aka Little Siberia, a maximum security prison in upstate New York, where he had to go to extreme lengths just to stay sane – and to survive.

If you are angry at the Sydney Sweeny ad for American Eagle jeans, that's a YOU problem...........Sydney Sweeney Under Fire After Controversial American Eagle Ad CampaignThe label's latest advertising campaign has been setting social networks ablaze, and not just because it features the Euphoria actor in a tight tank top. Called “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,” it's based around a play on words that may seem harmless—but has been criticized by onlookers who see a sinister message lurking beneath the pun.One ad from the autumn campaign shows Sweeney leaning over the engine of her Ford Mustang. She slams the hood and wipes her hands on the back of her jeans—not without a close-up from the cameraman—before settling behind the wheel and disappearing. A second begins with Sweeney speaking about her “jeans” as the camera slowly pans down to her cleavage, before she reprimands it with a smiling “Hey, eyes up here!” The series' most criticized ad shows the actor reclining on a couch as she squirms while fastening her pants and murmuring, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My genes are blue.” Then a male narrator concludes, “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
