If you come to Missouri, you have earned a guest spot on the show! That is 2 instances of excellent activities while listening. One more and I am required by podcast law to send you merch. I guess I should make some...

Well considering yall already hit the Impala SS, and the other LT1 powered cars seem too obvious its unlikely to happen again since it's about all I work on nowadays. My only other chance is a gmt400, or if yall get weirdly into late model pedestrian mom mobile mopars

Given that Psteav is a mopar weirdo, I could see us, at some point, getting weirdly into pedestrian mom mobile mopars.  No promises.

I am in fact looking to replace my truck with a Pentastar minivan, which I presume would qualify.    You need to get down here and get on the podcast before Big Threadlocker shuts us down for good.

I'm not trying to get on the bad side of Big Threadlocker. Disclaimer: I've always been a large proponent of Big Threadlocker. I vehemently oppose the accusation that cross threads are more effective than threadlocker.

Wifey got a pentastar but it's in Jeep Grand Cherokee wrapper.  It's a perfectly blah appliance. The seats have ass coolers though, which is nice.

Just started listening on my commute to/from work. Big fan. I lived in youngstown for 14 years and used to explore abandoned buildings. I actually found and still have some of the youngstown/cafaro Avanti blueprints stashed away. I sold 20? of them about 5 years ago to a guy in Florida, but I kept the doubles and some of the larger copies. Nothing super cool, just random parts, but cars and drafting are my thing so I had to keep something. I still have the photos from the listing, I'll upload some pics this weekend.

There is a shrine to Cafaro in one of the malls there, it has a footnote about but doesn't name the Avanti

I had y'all along with me this morning for an hour long drive. Thanks.

In the last 15 minutes of my drive the 2 lame road slows from 55 to 35 for less than 1 mile. While going through the blip of a town, parked at the front door of the only auto repair shop in the town, was a PTGT.

Unexpected!

Things I didn't know would excite me (or that they even existed) until it came up in some podcast, lol.

As I was listening to the segment about PTGTs, I thought about my uncle, who had matching manual transmission silver PT Cruiser GT convertibles for himself and my aunt when I was a kid. I'm pretty sure it was the first convertible I rode in haha, I remember thinking they were pretty cool. Maybe that's why I have a soft spot for them today, they seem decently fun if you don't care what other people think

New episode is up!  Just a couple of days late, since Jordan was at something called "The Challenge"?  IDK, never heard of it, really seems shrouded in mystery and he won't talk about it.

This one's a good one.  We discuss the least likely places to build a car, the unholy influence of a certain Englishman on basically every sports car built in the 70s and 80s, and so on.

The latest episode has dropped!  We're deep enough into our catalog now I can't even remember what number this episode is.  Solidly double digits, anyway, lol.

Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Thanks and...

Stay Fresh, Cheese Bags!

I think there are a couple things that need to be clarified.  First of all, you were sworn to secrecy on the bodies in the trunk.  Second, I think Robbie did most of the tuning.  Most of my contribution to the tuning was trying to figure out a way to get megasquirt to start a car that didn't have fuel.

Sorry about the trunk situation... Blame Alan.

Well, if you listen two more episodes into the future, I spill Jordan's IRL address on the cast, so you and your daughter can get another cross-country killing spree (oops, I mean "bonding spree") in.   Also, if you kill him we'll need a third host, so you can fill in while you're here.
