We are back from SEMA and there's a new 1987 Porsche 911 sitting in the parking lot. Matt has picked up his car for a Leh Keen Safari project, and spent 1,000 miles getting to know it. Zack also gives his perspective on the car and its unique driving habits. We also discuss the new top speed record, SEMA truck trends, the 6-wheeled Raptor, and a lot more. 

This week we take a bit more of a relaxed approach to podcasting couchside at Chris' house.  We dicscuss the reviews of All Cars Go To Heaven, filming with Joe Rogan and his Sharkwerks 911 GT3, Ferrari's moves into turbocharging, Aston Martin's engine collaboration with Mercedes, the basics of Bitcoins, Rally North American, legalized marijuana, and Zack revies the new Volkswagen GTI.

Chris Harris is a legend in the automotive world. Journalist, racer, he's worked for many a publication and is currently a host on Top Gear UK, the most popular car show in the world.

Patrick Long has the job we all want. He is the only American employed by Porsche as a factory racingdriver. He's a racer, coach to the young driver's academy, the founder of one of the coolest car gatherings - Luftgehult - and gets to drive some of the most historic race cars in Porsche's story (917, 962, etc). He's a nice guy, a fast driver, and has driven some of the coolest cars on Earth. And as always, lots of fan Q&A!

This week Mr. Regular and The Roman of Regular Car Reviews join us for an unholy cacaphony of grunting, dick jokes and the occassional mention of a car.  Our guests arrive dressed in their finest as we talk about everybody's new favorite tv show Glasgow Today, the New York International Auto Show, the adventures of the Downsyndrome Knight, angry Jalopnik Commenters and of course the massively successful Fund Anything campaign that brought Regular Car Reviews to Los Angeles.

This podcast is about bad cars, weird cars, and LS-swapped 911s. Our guest is Tyler Hoover, an automotive journalist who has made a name for himself by acquiring a vast collection of...odd cars, or "hoopties", as he calls them. He's a man with eccentric taste, truly adhering to the idea, "Variety is the spice of life." 

This show is available as a video!

https://youtu.be/iAcWPGh8KO8

You can find videos of all of Tyler's cars (including his LS-swapped 911) on his YouTube channel, "Hoovie's Garage". 
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEczn3MVkx_4PnMZ10MVFA

He also writes for AutoTrader.com/Oversteer, alongside Doug Demuro (and others).

This week fellow automotive journalist, chairman of Beer and Beards quarterly, and host of Ignition Jonny Lieberman (@mt_loverman) once again joins us at the podcast table.  Matt recounts tales of learning to drive a manual transmission, hot stereos and a teenage butchering of a Subaru Legacy.  Meanwhile Jonny bought a new Fiesta ST and shares with us his experience in the Nismo GTR and Challenger Hellcat. In addition we cover news on the Aston Martin Lagonda, Zombie Dust beer and Lamborghini Countach values.

This week Steve Dinan purveyor of all things BMW joins us to talk about how he got into the business and the current state of BMW tech.  Of course we touch upon the history of BMW but we spend a long time discussing how factory turbocharging has unleashed new potential and where things may be going in the future.  We discuss the realities of research and development, Steve defines "Turbo Lag" for us and using vacuum in the crankcase for power increases.

This week your ears will be assaulted with a cacaphony of grunts, chode jokes and literary references as we welcome back our friends Mr. Regular and The Roman of Regular Car Reviews (@RegularCars).  On the final evening of the Pacific Fister tour the guys drop by and we catch up on the trip, life as a burgeoning internet celebrities and project cars. In addition we cover the tragic loss of the LS400s transmission, Nino's Vine account, first class bathrooms, vape pens and how Portland has become a parody of itself.

Once again our friend Carlos Lago of Motor Trend joins us for an extended podcast. Carlos recently tested both the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 so of course we cover that, but we also review the XKR-S GT, the Cadillac ELR and its stablemate the CTS V-Sport.  In addition to the reviews we touch on meat based furniture and clothing, Grand Theft Auto 5, stupid tweeting cars, Zack's recently acquired tickets and how Chris suggests he evades them.

Gracing us with his presence once again, regular guest and Motor Trend ambassador Jonny Lieberman joins us on mic. This week Jonny shares his thoughs on the R8 V10+, the 488 GTB is lavished with praise, the oppulence of the Lagonda Taraf is conveyed and once again Jonny sings praise of his beloved G65 AMG.

Travis Okulski (@tokulski) of Road and Track joins us as he makes his way through California in a glorious new Aston Martin. Matt prepares for a possible sale of his Skyline and Delorean whilst Zack and myself hurl quips of varying efficacy into the mix as usual.

AJ Gordon (formerly of The Petersen Automotive Museum) and Chris Fussner of MotorHistory.com join us to talk about how to buy a great cheap Porsche, AJ's future in vans, new BMWs, off-roading badly, the "under-appreciated" Honda Del Sol and tons more.

If you don't know the Regular Car Reviews, you need to. They do car reviews like no one else: insightful, weird, dirty, clever, (formerly) faceless. Matt sat down with the men behind the brilliance.
