Episode 91 Aftershow When it comes to the concept of “enjoyment,” it’s sometimes a stretch for Ian. Unless we’re talking about cardigans, the new Harry Styles album, or making awful noises into the microphone and making Dave sort out the levels later. Dave enjoys far more: the fact that Ian wears cardigans EVERYWHERE, coffee, and even his air travel hacks.… Read more →

Episode 91-It puts a smile on your face. Even LEGITIMATE AUTOMOTIVE JOURNALISTS have weaknesses, and when one of us (cough, glares at IAN) succumbs the weapons-grade germs of a toddler, the inevitable happens. So, with that sniffly disclaimer, you’ll see that our metaphorical reverse lights are on, but we still plan on going forward. We push trough the piles of… Read more →

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Step right up, step right up! Today we have for you a Classic Mini Cooper in its native habitat!

Oh and let’s throw in how all of… Read more →

The secret to all great car-based entertainment is that they’re really all about relationships. They all lure you in with talk of camshafts and oversteer, but they’re really talking about feelings. It’s subtext. But not with us! Take this week’s episode – we spend a lot of time talking about each other and manage to sprinkle in a little talk… Read more →

In a decision that can only be described as “ill-advised,” your humble cohosts were granted press credentials for the 2017 Denver Auto Show. So in this episode, we provide a decidedly TeamClearCoat take on the auto show experience: we talk about the language of automakers, GM’s Maven project, and of course we made it about Lincoln. Also, we farted in… Read more →

TeamClearCoat is capable of delivering surprises from time to time. Today, we’re surprising everyone with a new website (http://ift.tt/2njYGuE), which contains a few easter eggs. Other surprises include how well Dave’s car takes that one corner at High Plains Raceway, and that we have to wrap this up due to Legitimate Automotive Journalism Pursuits. Totally not surprising is that the… Read more →

Alex Davies, Transportation Editor for Wired joins us in the blanket fort this week. We talk about Congress and other unproductive boondoggles like the construction zone problem, the Uber vs Google fight, and of course, old Saabs. We may not have arrived at any answers in this discussion, but we think we may have stumbled on the right questions. Read… Read more →
