Episode 174-Regifting, via Podcast. It’s the holiday season and you know what that means: We phone it in! Our intrepid hosts are scattered about this great-ish nation of ours, two-fisting sugar cookies and using whiskey to cope with having to perform family IT duties. That doesn’t mean we didn’t have time to at least get you the regifted tube-socks equivalent… Read more →

Episode 172-Ian’s Batman. And not the good one. The Saab TurboX. We could honestly have an hour long weekly show that just talked about the woes of owning a TurboX. No one would listen to it, but the lukewarm content is there to be readily mined. When you basically own the physical manifestation of the absolute reason that an entire… Read more →

Episode 171-So very cold. Just because the elements of a specific activity don’t sound “good” certainly doesn’t mean that it won’t taste good. To illustrate this point, let’s bake a cake (hooray for metaphors!): Here’s our ingredients: Our intrepid podcast hosts, hapless as always. An outdoor karting facility. Winter in Colorado. Sub-freezing temperatures. Add in a dash of mechanical failure,… Read more →

Episode 170-You go Yugo, You go. This week we’re incredibly lucky to have Michael Ballaban, Deputy Editor at Jalopnik, on the show. This came about by way of an election night whiskey-tipsy Ian sliding into his DMs on Twitter, knowing full well that when it comes to cars, car culture, and politics in cars, that Michael’s a fantastic fit for… Read more →

Episode 169 – Nice It’s all planes, trains (spoiler alert: there are no trains), and automobiles in this episode. We start with salad and end up where we usually do. Ian shares Effington One facts with us and Dave ventures into Missouri only to once again survive the trip. Speaking of Dave’s horrible survival instinct, he somehow manages to survive… Read more →

Episode Hehe…Duty There’s a fantastic Sarah Silverman joke about our duties. She says that we all have them, and sometimes they’re big and stinky. She’s got a point. Ian is called upon to perform his duties comma civic and it just so happens to luck into a case that automotive knowledge is of use. We play some listener FMKCars, show… Read more →

Episode 167-It’s time to fix something. One hundred and sixty six episodes scattered across more than three years. That’s how long TeamClearCoat has been in this here podcast game and we’re just now FINALLY correcting a huge blind spot of ours, talking to people that daily drive hearses! WE KNOW! Man, this one really slapped us across the face and… Read more →

Episode 166-Peedah Look, George Lucas did everything wrong with Phantom Menace. Thems just the facts folks. We don’t need to know the backstory to why there are now some weird space tariffs on bleep blorps from planet Bloopatron or whatever, we just want Yoda, those glowy sword things, and wars of star. That said, finding out the backstory to something… Read more →

Episode 165-Wheels? Who needs ’em? Like the proverbial abyss, so much bleakness surrounds the blanket fort this week. Let’s go to our happy place, let’s visit our island. Let’s think about dusty BMWs in used car lots, let’s think of the Lexus GS-F (and we’ll continue to do so for the rest of our times in this mortal hellscape), let’s… Read more →
