Back by popular demand, it's another Random Number Generator Car Reviews episode, where Jason and Derek pull reviews of cars from their extensive spreadsheet. This, after Jason succeeds in getting his van, Jynah, stuck in the snow. And succeeds, despite there being no snow. === This episode is sponsored by Vyper Industrial — America's #1 rated shop chair, tool carts, and creepers, proudly made here in the US.

He experiences the joys of installing tire chains on the side of a cold, wet freeway while chain-control enforcers allow countless all-season- or even summer tire-equipped SUVs to pass by. The Carmudgeons discuss the importance of tires and the dramatic grip disparity between various tire types in the snow. Then they open up their driving history spreadsheets once again for more random number generator car reviews! Jason heads to Lake Tahoe just after a 4-foot snow storm that somehow never materialized. After trekking another 2,000+ feet up in elevation to Mt Rose, he found some, and a simultaneously serene and serendipitous photoshoot ensued. Caravaning up the mountain alongside the van were Jason's pals in a VinFast VF8 (which easily beats the van in a roll race) and a Range Rover. Someone has to call AAA – guess who! Jason is incensed by the farcical chain-control restrictions which forced him – driving the FWD van on brand new dedicated winter tires – to pull over and install chains on the slushy roadside, while countless boobs driving AWD SUVs wearing all-seasons or even summer tires were allowed to pass right through (one of which winds up totalled in a Jersey Barrier). The Carmudgeons can't stress enough the importance of tires. Especially in the wet and snow. We'll cover stopping distances of various tire types, and recommend excellent videos from both Engineering Explained and Tyre Reviews on YouTube – especially this one measuring stopping distances and acceleration times on snow using a variety of tire types and grip enhancement measures like chains, ladders, snow socks and more: https://youtu.be/W-k_1gz87vM?si=gR3iIm_77Go1vzmZ Following the tire discussion, we dive into yet another Random Number Generator Car Reviews session. The Carmudgeons will recount their drives in the following cars: Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG 4Matic Wagon W210 First-gen Porsche Panamera (alongside a 760Li and S63) B8 Audi S4 3.0 “Tupercharged” Acura TL SH-AWD 6-speed (and ZDX) 1957 Porsche Speedster with 4-cam Carrera engine 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster Intermeccanica 2006 Mk5 VW GTI 2.0T 1960 Alfa Giulietta Spider Veloce 2012 E90 BMW M3 Competition Package 2007 Chevy HHR Panel van 2006 Jaguar XJR 2023 Acura Integra Type-S 2009 Ford Escape 4-cyl 1949 Hudson Super 6 Convertible 2010 Jaguar XFR 5.0 Supercharged 1971 Mercedes 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet 2019 Mazda3 AWD Sedan 2003 Aston Martin Vanquish 2019 Genesis G70 AWD 1974 Lancia Stratos HF 2008 Ford Expedition 2000 BMW Z3 2.3i 2015 Ford F-350 Super Duty Diesel 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet Tiptronic Jason once got to play policeman while driving around a 2012 CLS63 AMG Fashion Force “police” car that Mercedes created for New York Fashion Week, where he tickets egregiously modified cars.

Peter Monteverdi, en ihærdig schweizisk excentriker, bilbygger, og ikke mindst bilforhandler. Peter bliver den yngste Ferrari-forhandler nogensinde da han bytter sin Porsche Speedster ind, og låner de sidste 10.000 schwitzer franken til at finansiere købet af en Ferrari. Præcis som en hver frisk ung bilsnob med muligheder og racerdrømme ville gøre det.Det ender nogle år senere i tårer da il Commendatore finder på at Monteverdi skal til at forudbetale alle de biler han bestiller. Det ender i alle fald med, at Peter Monteverdi og hans lebenspartner Paul Berger skaber en række GT-biler, der nok på de fleste områder – også prisen – kørte de stejlende hingste fra Maranello temmelig meget af banen.Det er i øvrigt en underholdende – og ikke helt usmuk – historie, der inkluderer både flamingoer i et penthouse udenfor Basel, store motorer, stor kærlighed, rigeligt med læder, dromedaropdræt i Marokko og en helt igennem umulig og sjovt nok også ret omkostningstung Formel 1-satsning. Og så får du at vide hvem der designede den 4-dørs Range Rover Classic.Lyt med når Bilsnobberne, denne gang med Adam Estrup som podcastvært der sammen med Stefan Kaas som udfolder historien om Peter, Paul og alle deres automotive skønheder. Bilpersonligheder er en ny serie i serien og deres auditive bilencyklopædi. Denne gang om bilpersonligheder.Til forskel fra serien om de ofte forkætrede bildesignere, hvis bidrag til verdensfreden selvfølgelig ligger i deres evne til at indfange skønhed i en bils ydre, så går Bilsnobberne i denne serie et spadestik dybere: Nemlig helt ind i hjertet hos de mennesker, som med deres hele virke, liv og eksistens har bidraget uvurderligt til frembringelsen af automotiv skønhed.Du får i alle fald mange kloge ting med i dette afsnit af Bilsnobbernes auditive bilencyklopædi – podcasten der lærer dig at tale med når snakken omkring middagsbordet falder på Tom Tjaarda og nu altså også typer som Peter Monteverdi.Tak fordi I lytter med, liker, skriver, og abonnerer.
“Kate was able to go off script. Then I found I could go with her. Pretty soon we're doing stuff that is not on the written page.

SMITH: While filming in Munich, Bruce and Martha Smith walked into the wrong punk bar. Bruce got her out -- but only after throwing some Stetson-style punches!Working in the Alps and in Amanda's house with Jean Stapleton -- “I wish she could have done more episodes.”One of Bruce's favorite episodes?

The Dick Barbour Interview. Buckle up people and enjoy a thrilling ride with a man who bought a used Porsche Speedster at 16, won his first-ever race in it, built a parts-selling mega business, and then became a Porsche-Audi dealer. Those endeavors simply funded his bigger goal to be a top-level race driver and team owner, where he scored wins in every endurance race in the world that matters. Phew! Then he takes 20 years off and does it again. His proudest achievement after a Hall of Fame career? He'll share it during the interview. We also visit the surprising new Consumer Reports ‘reliability' lists. BMW at the Top? Whoa! But it's true. Adams spots an old smoky, dirty Porsche 993 limping happily along in Vegas instead of the concours field. Join in the fun now.

Its been a busy few weeks here at Drivel HQ so in this week's episode the not-so-dynamic duo discuss a plethora of random things including a car meet attended by a Porsche Speedster replica, a Delorean and a ruined Ford, Movie cars, Elon Musk and the astounding discovery that Mo hasn't seen Top Gun! It's also a special week for O as he is reunited with his early 2000s love affair, the MG Z-S. Or is he? Well, no, is the answer to that. He instead drives its modern day namesake through Snake Pass and gives us his review in the way that only O can. Rather remarkably, Mo has some knowledge to share about the history of MG and even goes so far as to call the brand pioneering. Did you ever think you'd see the day? Drivel.

We're back with episode 95! This week, to mix things up, Joel has emerged from under his rock and has joined us this week.
