It’s true, Blake finally brought some good beer to the podcast palace. That must be why we finally went over an hour with an episode. In Episode 17, we ramble from topics such as the new Maserati Ghibli to Teslas battery-swapping plans. Additionally, Blake refers to the inside of the new Vanquish Volante as, um, I’ll just say Smurtastic, and we take a look at the Nissan Versa Note. Additionally, I talk about the Volkswagen GTD and XL1 that I just drove in Germany (reviews coming next week).

Click past the break for episode 17 aural goodness.

We have a redesigned ShoutEngine page, so I can take you directly to the episode’s own landing page: Episode 17 (it plays nicely right in the browser window)

Additionally, please go to iTunes and give us a rating and review. This helps us climb the podcast ladder to take down the lesser shows as we strive towards world podcast domination. OBEY THE HOONIVERSE PODCAST

Also also, if you’re curious about what is in store for the next Forza, our podcast cousins at The Smoking Tire spent two hours chatting with the folks behind the game. It’s worth a listen, especially if you want to know what to expect from Forza 5.
