Episode 35-How do you rate things? We talk this time about rating your ride-share driver, how Ian would rate new drivers, and how low Dave would rate LCD Soundsystem. But that too-low rating is nothing compared to how too-low Dave’s V-Neck was on his shirt. In that spirit, here are some other ratings from this episode. GTV prices: 1/5 stars.… Read more →

Episode 34-See, there’s the "okay". Yeah, this is a weird one. Let’s just get that out of the way right now. Dave full on rages against the Segway machine, Ian contemplates life as a freegan, and yeah…other stuff is discussed. Once again we have thoughts on a carmaker’s proposed then rescinded flagship sedan, then end up discussing Lincoln, because that’s… Read more →

Jason Torchinsky of Jalopnik joins us in the blanket fort this time for a wide-ranging discussion on cars, parenthood, and telling automakers that you know better than them. The best part?

Episode 32-This week’s description comes courtesy of the hypothetical therapist we talk with every week: "I’m so proud of all the breakthroughs we’ve had this session, TeamClearCoat! I mean, we finally figured out that FCA is, in fact, the most hapless multinational corporation of all time, that the last Saab 9-5 is still a very good looking car, and that… Read more →

Episode 31-Or maybe just be ready with the pocket taffy. We went to the 2016 Denver Auto Show with the intention of acting like adults and giving you, dear listener, some actual information. But if we’re honest, we didn’t make it too long before we started goofing off. We did, however, end up interviewing show runner Tim Jackson and getting… Read more →

Episode 30-It’s almost probably going to be okay. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times to be a pair of hapless automotive podcasters. The good news is that we had a great conversation with Mr. Regular from Regular Car Reviews via Skype! The bad news is that we had a technical mishap and lost a… Read more →

Episode 29 – Really, he’s no help at all. If you’re going to crash into the uncanny valley of luxury cars, it might make sense to know how to get out of your vehicle. And while you’re falling down there, you might see the latest hypercar from Sweden, the latest atrocity from Man Sorry (Dave’s not even posting a link… Read more →

Episode 28 – Now it’s Dave’s turn to ruin something by liking it. Let’s just get this out of the way: Dave and Ian get in their biggest argument to date.

Episode 27 – Yep, a loop. There’s a guest in the blanket fort, but only sort of. Dave’s friend Eric is observing the podcasting process, like the worst Jane Goodall impersonator ever. His detailed notes will include signs of shock from car crash eyewitness stories, and how one of his subjects (the tall ginger one) has the power to extract… Read more →

Episode 26 – Really, a Kia. It’s all about convincing arguments this time in the refreshed blanket fort: Ian convinces Dave the Kia Soul might be a good car, that the EPA might not be enthusiast kryptonite, and Dave convinces everyone he should be banned from singing.
