    On this episode, Jason can’t be with us because his wife is ill (GET WELL!), but we grabbed Hooniverse’s occasional motorsport nerd, DFL Show co-host, and Hot Rod/Roadkill’s whipping boy Eric Rood to join us on this episode. We talk about Hyundai Elantra GTs (the mid-2000s ones) for a while for some reason, then jump…

    Our biggest regret as a podcast is that our audio files didn’t save properly the last time Kevin was a guest on the show. Back forty episodes ago or so, we had a great discussion with Kevin for about 2 hours, and we could only recover about 20 minutes of the audio to present to…

    Being completely frank, I have not watched a NASCAR event in years. I think the last full Daytona 500 I watched on television was the 2011 event when Trevor Bayne won for the Wood Brothers. I had grown impatient with the constant yellow flags and contrived Green/White/Checker finishes and had begun to find Waltrip’s race call…

  • Daytona 500: How 'Bout Them Stages?

    comments

    There’s a new rule in NASCAR racing, and it’s a bit of a strange one. If you haven’t heard by now (unlikely), the new format calls for each race to be completed in a series of three stages. The Daytona 500 was the first test of this format, and it’s got fans a bit polarized.…

    Last week I had the opportunity to drive the new Land Rover Discovery. I’m not much of an off-roader, but in the interest of pushing personal boundaries, I’m happy for the opportunity. The new seven-seater Disco proved it’s pretty well capable of tackling anything the environment wants to throw at it. There is a little…

    For our regular Friday episode, Cam, Jason, and Brad are all back together. Brad is a little bit on the sick side, so it’s a little shorter episode than usual. Cam got some work done on his BMW, while Brad went to the Arizona/Utah border to test out the new Land Rover Discovery. The Cammed…

    Okay, so everyone knows by now that we’re not the best when it comes to navigating Sonoma scot-free (sort of not our fault?), but when Rick Knoop does it in his vintage McLaren, it’s like the world stands still. Just listen to that big Chevy engine, and watch his smooth inputs as he runs a…

    It has been 17 years, four months, and 24 days since Toyota’s last World Rally Championship victory, the 1999 Rally China. Back then people were still anxious about the upcoming Y2K crisis, and rallyist Jari-Matti Latvala was barely a teenager. Here we are, the second WRC event of the 2017 season (Rally Sweden), Toyota with…
