Episode 63-Mr. Tiny Tank Runs Out and Ian Channels Samuel L. Jackson Our epic road trip saga continues! We participated in ChumpCar’s 2016 Winter Classic at Road America before driving back to Denver. The euphoric highs of a well-executed endurance race day yield pretty quickly to that lowest of lows: road-side bathroom emergencies. Enjoy part 2 of this very special… Read more →

Episode 62-The Meat Sweets would be so much better. When you embark on a road trip, examples from pop culture roll through your mind. You start by hoping for an epic like “Lord of the Rings,” then it starts to feel like “Thelma and Louise,” and you just hope it doesn’t turn into “The Road.” This here is the first… Read more →

Episode 61-Goodbye old friend, hello new race car! We’re not exactly a bundle of sunshine on this episode of TeamClearCoat. A car has died, you won’t own your car in the future, and worst of all, we talk about the election. Yuck! Hey! Did you know you can view the full episode description for links! Yeah! Click on stuff! TeamClearCoat… Read more →

Episode 60a-They are. Period. The aftershow experiment continues apace! In the non-car/confusing part of the show, we talk about clowns, Ian’s eternity in Whole Foods purgatory, and Dave’s wild theory about ice cream and guns. And because that wasn’t a big enough range of topics, we also managed to squeeze in some discussions on vinyl collecting and Discogs, what Dave… Read more →

Episode 60-Happy Little Drifts We’ve found there are definitely some things in this world to be proud of – Mercedes’ Kryptonite Green, the amount of happiness Dave puts out into the world, and TeamClearCoat resisting the urge to make an obvious dirty joke. In a few less proud moments, we talk about our impending road trip, current styling for hearses,… Read more →

Episode 59a-Ian still doesn’t know what this is; Dave isn’t telling him. How does Dave like his coffee? Like he likes his cars: dripping, exotic, and snappy. How does Ian like his cappuccino? Like he likes his um….well…he likes them dry. Very dry. Do with that what you will. Anyway, Dave dissects Dunkin’ Donuts’ coffee, we graph Gwar, Peter Frampton,… Read more →

Episode 59-Do you even hydrate, bro? Time for some updates to things that were already obvious: it’s almost never okay to comment on a stranger’s appearance, the Honda Civic Type R coming to the US is GOOD NEWS, and it has been zero days since the last burn out in a rental car. More obviousness: Donald Trump isn’t qualified to… Read more →

Episode 58a-We tried to not do it. And Failed. Did you know that Dave and Ian work in IT? Or that they both like coffee very much? Or that Dave likes video games? Or that Ian gets irritated by things? Okay, so we’re not really breaking any new ground here, but at least we mention Dave’s down parts. Hey! Did… Read more →

Episode 58 – Here we go again on our own. We’re as boring as Dave’s pants this weak: pleats on pleats on pleats. We talk Apple’s interest in McLaren, infrastructure for autonomous cars, and, uhh, kind of a lot about IT. That’s okay, though: Dave needs boring after the heart-racing excitement of completing an emissions test on the Saab. Hey!… Read more →

Episode 57a-This “after-show” idea continues to be confusing. First, Dave and Ian hit you with dramatic readings of their fortune cookies, then BOOM: tonal shift! Talking about complicated relationships with patriotism and the phrase “thank you for your service” might have you thinking it’s all going to be serious. Then, WHAM: another pivot to, uhhh, taffy farts and Ian’s impersonation… Read more →
