This week we bring you an onslaught of automotive industry asshattery, with too many damned people in the room. We're joined by Mike Spinelli, Travis Okulski, Brendan McAleer and Austin Cabot. Mike gives us his take on on the Porsche GT3 RS as well as an overview of the soundtrack to Dante's Peak, Stevee Nicks encounters and a young boy's take on Burt Monroe. Travis gives us some insight into the Ferrari F12 TDF as well as his take on unnecessarily ostentatious german press tours. Whilst Brendan and Austin take a far more measured approach jabbing with the occassional one-liner or groan inducing pun as we power our way through two power outages mid show.
Once again on the road; the guys are recording from the reclusive Farah complex somewhere along the northeastern seaboard and are joined by /Drive presenter, mascot, bishop and midwife Mr. Mike Spinelli.

We start off discussing our respective ages soon to follow with admiration for Nino's beard. Chris Harris gets a taste of Los Angeles by sharing a hotel with bikers and driving through South Central. We talk about the reorganization of GM and Chrysler, the merits of transverse leafsprings, meanwhile touching upon important cultural figures such as Vanilla Ice, M.C. Hammer, Ice T and of course drunk Hitler.
This week we put too many damned people on mic. Mike Spinelli and Travis Okulski from Jalopnik join us alongside Doug Demuro of Plays with Cars and the rest of the usual crew with a half intoxicated Dan Neil and Blake Rong shouting things at us from the background.The topics run long and varied on this episode here's the breakdown.Jalopnik's Road Trip to Pebble BeachJaguar F-Type & XFR-SLemons newest spectacle the upside down CamaroMatt drives a turbocharged Chevy ColoradoWe once again expound on the heaping pile that is the Mercedes G WagonRidiculous warranty abuse at CarmaxWe discuss John Salley's boner pillsTravis spent some time in the Hennessey Turbo Ferrari 458Travis being the lucky bastard he is also got an Audi RS7 for a week alongside a Porsche Cayman SSpinelli regales us with tales of his youth and using a Bitter SC to buy doughnutsStories from the famed Stelvio PassWe teach Matt about KloutAnd finally we discuss Wheel of Fortune if it were to be filmed in Wales.
