Episode 200-IRL Two hundred episodes. That’s a lot of time to spend in a blanket fort, so to celebrate, we actually leave the blankets behind and set up shop at one of our favorite places: Unser Karting!!! Unser is our go-to place for mental health treatment and we couldn’t think of a better place to celebrate not getting kicked off… Read more →

Episode 199 Hey! We have another bonus inbetweener episode for all of you goofballs; Ian Skyped his way into the blanket fort for a quick discussion about his rental car, Dave’s Bugs Bunny-esqe karting techniques, and not having to go to the bathroom at all during the episode. Really! Thank you Matt for sending in the FMKCars, we appreciate it!… Read more →

Episode 198-Worse than Freddy. Humble listeners, we want to give you a warning. Once you’ve seen the horrors that Dave presents in this episode, you will never be able to unsee them. They shall haunt your every waking moment, and intrude your dreams, WHICH IS A REAL THING THAT HAPPENED. Yep. Dave saw a carstanza so bad that he actually… Read more →

Episode 196-It’s seafood this time. It was leftover pizza last time. Much like Ian’s over-inflated rental car tires, we pump as much hot air into this episode as we can, but beware, tick tock, Ian’s tummy has different ideas of how this evening should proceed. What is it about our show that somehow impacts people’s digestive systems? If it was… Read more →

Episode 197 The Chrysler Pacifica is many things: a minivian, A hybrid vehicle, a nice place to be. More than anything however, it is one specific thing: a belt sander that takes every rough edge that life throws at you and smooths it down to a pleasant, easy-to-handle shape. In this episode we discuss the minivan we love so much… Read more →

Episode 195-Thanks Jonny! This week Ian’s returned to Denver and we’re finally back in the blanket fort the way good baby Santa Jebus intended. In his absence, you goofballs sent us tons of great stuff. Sick burns. Cars on fire. Weird vanity plates. A fantastic FMKCars from our buddy Jonny. Couple that with some garage updates, and you’ve got your… Read more →

Episode 194 You know the old saying, when life gives you lemons and makes you fly to another part of the country at the drop of a hat and it interrupts recording your dorky automotive podcast with your taffy-addled friend, you make lemonade? Yeah, that old chestnut. In this week we do what we can given our limited time, Dave… Read more →

Episode 193-I mean, it’s just a Trailblazer. If you really want to get exactly what you want, it’s going to take some work. And money. Usually a fair amount of money. In this week’s episode we appreciate the individual that perfected the Buick station wagon. It took a lot of work, but the results are nothing short of stunning. We… Read more →

Episode 192-At least he didn’t say tube tops. There’s a quite morbidity about a decaying, neglected, and no longer used factory. There’s a quietness to it. Sadness in the stillness of an era that has long since passed. Wow. Trust me, this show is not as much of a downer as those Smiths-caliber sentences portray. Trust us. We actually had… Read more →
