A Huracan's A Blowin' Jul 29, 2015

Show notes

Host Jeff Glucker is back in the studio after an unexpected absence last week. He's joined by Producer Chris Hayes as the two kick it a bit old school and run down some new car news before diving into what they've been driving and what's going on with their own cars. What's the new car news? Well, a couple in Texas bought their 78th and 79th Dodge Vipers, and we think that's kind of dumb. A Tesla Model S owner lapped the 'Ring in 9:08 and we think that's kind of awesome.

In the motorsports world, there was a big win at the 24hrs of Spa for the MarcVDS racing team. We want to congratulate our friend Francois on the victory.

In our own personal news, Jeff tells the story of his weekend with the Lamborghini Huracan... and how one day turned from a standard video shoot into something so much more important.

Mountuned! Jul 23, 2015

Show notes

This week Jason Connor (@TerminatorConn) and I are joined by Ken Anderson president of Mountune's (@mountune) US operations. For those unfamiliar Mountune is quickly becoming Ford's premier tuning partner and is providing aftermarket tuning support for the Focus and Fiesta platforms. We of course discuss their product offerings but we also touch upon the different demands of customers around the world, Mountune's history and we spend a substantial amount of time discussing Mountune's upcoming Mustang offerings.

On the Road: Ramblin', Podcastin', and Peein' Jul 15, 2015

Show notes

On this episode of the podcast, you're getting a shorter On the Road bit. Host Jeff Glucker is in Minnesota to drive new Hyundai product, and he decided to fire up the microphone while he was sitting in his hotel room.

The chatter this time around ranges from what Jeff has been driving to thoughts of getting old...

The Stars At Night... Jul 08, 2015

Show notes

This is the one where we say goodbye to co-host Blake Z. Rong. He's packing up his LA life and relocating to Austin, Texas. We're joined by guest Michael Banovksy, who is Managing Editor of Petrolicious. Additional, he's the auther of the book Weird Cars. Our chatter revolves around his own car history, how he got "into cars", and we dabble a bit in the world of Petrloicious.

After that, Jeff talks a bit about his Isle of Man TT experience before we all dive back to talk about some of our favorite episodes over the last 110 episode run.

Fair thee well Blake Z. Rong... we will keep your chair warm.

On the Future of Cars and Real Records with Alex Roy Jul 01, 2015

Show notes

Alex Roy joins us in the podcast studio, which is filled with the whole gang this week. Our chatter ranges from the future of cars in general, some insight into the world of Morgans, and a bit of talk about cross-country records. This involves the real ones, and maybe ones that aren't quite as real. Alex is one of our favorite guests, so sit back and enjoy this one folks - it's a longer one, and it's a good one.

Forza 6 Press Preview Jun 24, 2015

Show notes

This week we're joined by friend of the podcast Abe Drimmer (former of Road & Track). We discuss the Forza 6 press launch event where Microsoft showed off its latest game and Ford brought a nearly produciton ready Focus RS and GT350 along with the halo car of the moment the Ford GT. In addition we cover the current shakeup at the Nurburging and the possible cessation of manufacturer testing along with some nostalgia of video games past.

On The Road: Over-Tired At The 'Ring Jun 17, 2015

Show notes

It's a short episode this week, but it's an on-the-road episode.

This was recorded while Jeff was at the Nürburgring a few weeks back. He sat down in his hotel and spoke into the recorder for 20 minutes. No, this time it's not going to be like the Scotland podcast. While he swears he'll try to recreate that "magic" someday, today is not that day. Instead, here's a bit of insight into what went down on the first half of this trip.

Everything was Teal Jun 10, 2015

Show notes

This week Blake and I are joined by Jonathon Klein (@Jonathon_Klein) from Bold Ride. Jonathon and I recently attended the HRE Wheels open house with Jeff along with Jason Connor, Rick Radcliffe and Matt farah and spent the day making fun of tacky people and observing all manner of exotic and some rather less than exotic cars. The big news this week is that Blake now owns a reliable (hopefully) car in the form of a first gen Volkswagen CC. We also cover car fires, Jaguars, nipple rings and McMercs.

Capturing the Madness [w/guest Kevin McCauley] Jun 03, 2015

Show notes

Our guest this week is Kevin McCauley, who is a photographer with an eye for making cars look really good. The podcast format runs old school this week as we start with a bit of new car chatter. Up for discussion is:

New ND Mazda MX-5 Miata first drives are coming in.
Jaguar is already announcing a larger crossover/SUV before its F-Pace has gone on sale.
Jeep is rumored to be prepping a Trackhawk Grand Cherokee fitted with a Hellcat powertrain.
The GT350R Mustang makes crazy good noise.

From there we learn a bit more about Kevin's world before finding out how everyone's vehicles are doing.

Uncomfortable Moistening May 27, 2015

Show notes

This week Herr Glücker returns from the fatherland and regales us with tales of Aston Martins, Nordeschleifes and Toyoda's. In addition we're accompanied by Rick Radcliffe and Jason Connor strong auxillary members of the Hooniverse podcast. We talk cars, we meander, quote the Simpsons and likely make people a littel uncomfortable but we're OK with that.
