Conversation Street feat. @SanjayDotCom @JacobHansley51 "Yes, the new M5's heavy" - #5C Aug 21, 2024

Hello friends, and welcome to a little side step of MCP; Conversation Street, where Sanjay and I do our very best to cover current events & automotives in their modernity. We went over Sanjay's brief CyberTruck ownership experience, social media and kinda what it's done to hype level enthusiasts, the M5 being heavy (and why), and some touches of market strategy. This episode took place during my last week in Miami before moving to Tampa & my nephew was visiting before shipping off to college. A solid good time.
Also, following this recording Sanjay took an impromptu trip to experience Car Week. 6C will be on the way soon :)

@_Imran_arshad "never settle, Evolve" - #077 Aug 09, 2024

This session features Imran Arshad of Evolve Automotive. A name synomous with BMW tuning for the past several years, and one that I have been a personal fan of since my E46/teenage years. We talk about the start of Evolve & reigning idea behind it and where it has come. Their BMW Park Lane takeover has been a success & is a very cool thing to see from afar, and we talk about it in detail. Evanturi is also within our discussion and so are some rad personal cars. Listen in!

@AMSAutoWerks @Fish2556 @RMCMiami "Boiler Room, the 2nd" - #076 Aug 02, 2024

Greetings, thank you for tuning into a rowdy episode of MCP where filters don't exist :) This is a great episode featuring homies that live & breath automotives. So much so that they may be jaded. Some of the cars that come up this episode aren't spoken about enough! Cars that you wouldn't expect as the "if you could only take one car" answer, to. Anywho, read less & listen more.

@mrzerolift @RMCMiami "Ex-Pat Nightrunner" - #075 Jul 21, 2024

My friends, welcome.

Here we are back into the nitty gritty, highlighting lives lived undercover of darkness (pause). High speed situations, engineering and second hand knowledge that can only be absorbed through the tuning factories of Japan. Hear our boy Len from the Zero Lift Podcast cover his years in Japan with his bnr32 GT-R, a car that he would end up bringing back with him to the USA. That's a hell of a way to own a car. Listen & enjoy. I have some goooooood shit in the pipeline

@Lowballergtr "Black on Black"- #074 Mar 04, 2024

To me, the pinnacle of car collecting is when the machines within that collection are used for their intent & purpose. There's people who do the other, where the cars largely sit around and even while well kept, just stationary. Then there's those who don't; Jordan, for example. The caretaker of quite a few speed machines, namely in the darkest available shade of paint. The caretaker of the legendary R33 GT-R T-002 built by one of the industry leaders in automotive tuning; HKS. The fascination Jordan has with cars is awesome in itself, let alone that he's based out of a desert climate which makes the whole thing a little more cool. His down to earth attitude is refreshing in this age of clout! We talk about a whole lot including his previously owned Dallas Performance TT Gallardo that was built to the brim, one I got to experience for myself.
My apologies if I sound muffled in the earlier part of this episode, filter issue.
Thanks for sticking with me, let's get back to it.
Cheers.

@Rickyboada "Muscle Head" - #073 Apr 12, 2023

I am so slow with the uploads, but theres a good reason. I moved to Miami to pursue a cool but challenging opportunity at..., you guessed it; RMC Miami. Now in Miami, life's been hectic to say the least. Moments to breath aren't easily found, juggling more than one gig at a time isn't for the faint of heart. It's all for the better. I am hit with a daily splash of imposter-syndrome however, I need to get over that. This is now life. Constantly back and forth between here and Tampa to see my family is the current reality. Luckily, I have made some great friends in MIA over the last few years and this is where I segway to the episode on hand, numero 73.
My boy Ricky and I got lit, and did a podcast. No frills. Just a chill back and forth about many a things, most of which are random but automotive flavored. We had a real nice setup going with a view at Ricky's spot, after a visit to a nearby delicious Thai restaurant. We had a great time, and have some great collabs in the works. I hope you enjoy!

@Trackuzaspeedmafia @RMCMiami @Gabednconfused @RickyBoada @Chxxweey @Redrum.M3 @Scottayy_40 "The American & The Wangan" - #072 Mar 26, 2023

The first episode of 2023, and what a return to the game it is. Friends, lovers, haters, I welcome you back to Motor Culture.
A dope episode is in store for you today, featuring some automotive figure heads in the Miami metroplitan area. An in-person episode setup right in the middle of the RMC Miami vehicle showspace with a lit shisha & all the goods. I was joined by my friends Matt, Scotty, Gabe, Ricky, Esteban, Danny & our guest of highlight, master story teller, Dan. On this episode, we feature a plethora of Wangan speak. Dan has spent many years in Japan before becoming a reverse ex-pat. He owned an R34 GT-R with various modifications to keep it sturdy at 200+ MPH for long periods of time. He spent shit loads of time as the rowdy American to the chill, sometimes shadowy figures that are known as the real night runners. This includes members of Team Midnight. The circumstances involved to not only become friendly with these people but to gain their trust as a running partner is a feat. Japanese automotive enthusiasts, setup your best speakers or headphones and listen closely. Cheers.

@RMCMiami @Ethan_Hates_Cars "Ethan doesn't really hate cars" - #071 Oct 26, 2022

From June, to October - welcome back everybody.
The direction of my life was altered a bit over the course of this year and I had to take a pause to focus, fix & adjust. A process that I am still knee deep in but well on the way. Even with just a handful of months off the air, I truly missed this shit. The nights preparing, the enlightenment, the unique stage upon which I get to know somebody new - or chat with one of my old friends. We're back, and it's about to get crazy during the coming months with the guests that are in line for the next chapter.
Spy vs Ethan vs Spy. This episode features a real good fella by the name of Ethan, whom works at RMC Miami. He helps to keep operations afloat with a multi-faceted frame of mind and smarts. He's recently dipped into sales which has been an entirely new journey given the type of machinery RMC deals with on a daily basis. Special cars, special clients. This is one one of those "this kids going places" episode. Sit back and enjoy.

@JannThaMan "GT Academy to Super GT+" - #070 Jun 06, 2022

Welcome back friends. Today's episode features the man, Jann Mardenborough. He's a British racing driver of which started his career by winning the illustrious GT Academy back in 2011. If you aren't familiar, the GT Academy is an international virtual to reality contest which allows players of Gran Turismo to compete in an effort to become a real racing driver, or atleast be given the oppurtunity to do so. This is no simple task as Jann beat out 90,000 entrants to secure his victory. This guy has a special fucking drive (no pun) which has accelerated (no pun) his racing career, one that was never envisioned before. Since 2011, he has competed in the following disciplines; British GT (GT3), GT4, Formula 3, 24H of LeMans (3x), Super GT (GT300 & GT500), and the Blancpain Endurance Series to name a few. For those that are big fans of racing, here are some of the cars he has piloted:

Nismo GT-R GT3 (R35)
GT-R GT300 (R35)
GT-R GT500 (R35)
Nismo GT-R LM Nismo (LMP1)
Zytek Z11SN - Nissan
Ligier JS P2 - Nissan
Dallara F312

That is quite the list innit? It was an absolute honor to be able to add Jann to the Motor Culture library and for him to talk about some of the intricacies of racing. Given his wide array of experience throughout multiple disciplines gives him a very intellectual outlook on racing, on driving. Like me, he likes to get into a car and just fucking drive for no reason and I can truly appreciate that. His love for motoring is one that flows through both categories of business & pleasure. So without further adieu ladies & gents, Jann Mardenborough for Motor Culture.
Cheers.

@MethodAutoGroup "Port Authority" - #069 May 20, 2022

Welcome one, welcome all to the Motor Culture show. Glad to have you here with me today as I present to you Jorge & Diego of Method Auto Group. This was an on-site recording in Gaithersburg, Maryland in the courtyard of a cozy condo building - so excuse any background noise! The fellas at Method Auto are killing the Japanese automotive importation game in the DMV area and at a fast pace. They specialize in bringing over all sorts of passenger cars (not just sports) from the land of the rising sun. They took me over to their garage to show me a sampling, and it felt good to see those cars hiding in some random Gburg hangout. My favorites; VIP Cresta, bone stock Chaser, & a white NUR R34 GTR VSII. Legends in their own regard(s). The guys take it up a notch and allow you to pickup your vehicle directly from the port broadening the experience. Given that most ports across the country have a Japanese vibe as it is, this beckons a great oppurtunity to give the customer an experience they will soon not forget. Anywho, enjoy this episode with Method Auto Group!

@German_Motor_Group @Eurobids "Now THAT's a good idea" - #068 Apr 29, 2022

Welcome one, welcome all. Episode 68, lets go.
This was a lovely late night, last minute session spanning from NY, to NJ, to me in FL! My boy Andy from German Motor Group brought on his pal named Jake from Eurobids, a hell of a venture both of them and some other individuals are currently working on to make the lives of enthusiasts with a taste for European cars (in EU spec form) much easier by bringing to market an easy to use buy and bid system coined, Eurobids. Imagine sight unseen purchasing of vehicles that will be exported from Germany, but with a caveat of a satsifacation guarantee as each and every vehicle will undergo a very particular verification process before the papers are officially signed. The structure is still very much in development but both Andy and Jake provide great info on what Eurobids will be, and what they think it will do for enthusiasts & for the market alike. To think that it would be more advantageous to sell your old E36 320i touring while living in Munich on a site like this which will give the oppurtunity to a lucky North American to own and continue the life of this car, all while as a seller you are collecting a premium to do so *takes deep breath* is a WONDERFUL idea. Why let shit go to waste? We crave imported cars but in the geography from which they arise, they're normal fare. So then, WHY NOT give them to us to build that second lease on life? Exactly, why not?
So, sit back and listen. This is a great episode and a nice early look into a hell of a venture within the automotive [enthusiast] community.

@TysonHugie "Honda Hero" - #067 Apr 28, 2022

Hello everyone and welcome to 67, featuring a hell of a Honda maestro by the name of Tyson Hugie. This was such a relatable episode for me, having a family background with several Honda models. Chances are, if you're apart of a brown family that was on the up n' up during the 90s then you too, can relate. The Phoenix based Tyson is somewhat of a declared Honda historian and currently sits on a lovley rotating collection of Honda/Acura models that evade us in regularity these days. When's the last time you saw a showroom fresh DA Integra or an SLX? I bet the most of you haven't even seen an SLX, or a first generation Legend out and about. I bet if you have, we're talking decades since they were in freshly manufacturered condition. The Honda addiction has turned into a bit of a dream side quest, and this is the part I want you all to truly feel the inspiration from just as I did. He took his enthusiasm so far to the point that Honda themselves gave the guy recognition and let him spec a car for a long term test, and then mailed him the title after the testing period was complete. How cool is that? What about riding in the backseat of your own car while Jay Leno drives you down a canyon road in it? Never know where your passion will take you. Be it in the gym, on the road, or smoking up and relaxing- enjoy this very special episode.

Conversation Street feat. @SanjayDotCom "Actually Useful Car Talk" - #4C Apr 27, 2022

Welcome to the 4th iteration of Sanjay's and my sub-series, Conversation Street! On this session we take a stroll into quite a few territories. FOR instance, will the cars we adorn - most of which are included in the surge of pricing be expensive, forever? Will BMW surprise us with the (G81) M3 touring in the USA? Toyota is taking the high road and ensuring that brand enthusiasts + are well fulfilled with their current and future array of sports offerings, widening to the U.S. market. Why aren't more manufacturers doing this? Long gone are the days of questioning whether or not these risk based sales scenarios will work, so hear us give you a bitchy opinion about that. This was fun, as is always with my mans from MD. Listen up friends and, enjoy.

@SCHAEFCHEN "Automotive Adventurer" - #066 Apr 14, 2022

Hello all, and welcome to episode sixty-six featuring Schaefchen. A kind, very intelligent personality that called in from the mountains of Austria to talk cars with yours truly. This guy's a true talent as it comes to wheeling a vehicle through some endearing situations and as I recite on this session's intro, pause what you are doing and head to his IG to look for yourself. He provides a very unique angle indeed where his specialty is less about the mystique of the car, but more so about the ability along with his abilities. Given his very unique geography comes some unforgiving snow in the Winters which is taken full advantage of. This is where his [U.S. exported] Raptor II, R34 GTR V-Spec & Evo V RS come into play at full WRC pace. The latter of two which are equipped with light pods just to add that chef's kiss. See, what most don't understand about European motorists is that long distance road travel is more of a household situation than here in the states & this is an attribute that Schaefchen takes seriously. As a matter of fact, before our call today he was on multi-hour journey back from the track where he pushed his MKIV Supra to the limits along with some seat time in his E90 M3. He's a driver, a traveller and an enjoyer of long-term automotive ownership with a special interest in being connected to the car. Creating memories with his machines, his squad. It's worth mentioning the guy has a special eye in capturing these moments, which undoubtedly you will witness for yourself. This is a lovely episode, and very inciteful for us Yankees. Tune in, and enjoy.
Also, a special thanks to the man himself as our 6-hour time difference required him calling in late. Along with a special thanks to my man David aka @d_t_a_f (Ep. #049) for making the connection. Cheers!

@Seantroy_err "Acceleration & Dedication" - #065 Apr 06, 2022

Episode 065, welcome! This session was very enjoyable thanks to my boy Sean Troy of European Road & Racing. I came across Sean via social media in 2015, a year after I moved to Florida. He is a BMW afficionado like no other and that has yet to change. The owner of many iconic models of the brand, both past & present including his recent pickup; a Valencia Orange E82 1M. A legendary parts bin excercise by BMW of which Sean was pushing around town during our call! We cover the history of his family business which is SUPER interesting, and a damn blessing in itself. Only a gifted few can say that their entire family is dedicated to the passion, so much so they made it their busienss. There's a lot of cool in this one, so sit back, get lit and have a listen. Oh & please excuse the audio quality in this on as Sean was driving around town! I love that, and I love you for listening. Cheers

ITEM-B "Today" - #064 Mar 29, 2022

Welcome to part 2, featuring Evan of ITEM-B! As the title presents, we forward our conversation to the present where the details & insight comes just as fulfilling. We talk about the business aspect within the doors of Autohändler in the automotive world, particuarly the aftermarket. Evan produces aero kits geared toward BMWs setup to slide & shit, it's a crazy world. You'll learn about specific considerations in drifting, my favorite part being the huge consideration for the setup at the front axles. One of our biggest topics of discussion was Evan's accident. He was in an unfortunate circumstance where his E36 drift car fell atop of him as he laid under the car, due to a failed jack. This is an insane story, and the recovery part is even crazier. Within the last 20 minutes (I think) we had a dropped call so you'll hear the combined cuts. Don't worry, you don't miss a thing. This is a great episode, stay tuned for future collaborations between Evan & I. Puff one for me, cheers.

Welcome back, and to the 63rd episode of MCP. Today we havethe talented Ara, based out of LA. This was a long time coming as my guy Sanjay and I have been IG fans of this fella for a long while now. The fascination first started with a car Ara purchased from a friend of mine, Ken - from the DMV. That was 10 years ago, and now today the car is a super enhanced drivers machine. We talk about a plenty. Ara's an attorney and we touch on his specialty and go over his new firm. We also delve deep into his enthusiasm and array of cars throughout our motoring history.

ITEM-B "Yesterday" - #062 Mar 16, 2022

Welcome to the first part of a 2-part series featuring my guy Evan Brown of Item B. This is going to be a hit amongst my listeners and his listeners alike as we delve deep into the wild ride that brought Mr. Brown to where he is today, and to us as onlookers. There's never been a background story like this on Motor Culture and I'm happy that this is where we start. This one starts at the beginning of a long road of clarity. From top tier student, to hitchhiker, to bike messenger, through many of the USA's major cities. All of this without a passion for automotives, at the time which is a foreign concept to the guests I've had on. That's what makes this so damn interesting where it's a show of understanding there is something that gets everyone going, and you may not find it when you're a kid. You might find it as a full fledged adult. Enjoy part 1 of this inspiring chat!

Welcome to sixty one, featuring my boy Adrian of Future's Past, a video & film production company based out of San Diego. Our friendship started a few years ago when Instagram brought us together via some BMW related algorthym, thanks Zuck. At the time, he had a Hellrot E36 M3 & we hit a chord given his love of BMW (cars generally) & passion for visual arts. Both areas I can relate to. We have a long overdue conversation going over a few things included but not limited to the uprise of his company, projects, & of course- cars. Plenty of car talk.

Welcome all to epiosde 60. We recorded this the night before our journey to Daytona for the 60th year of the Rolex 24. This was my 5th time, all while being an inaugural experience for Danny & Drew. The weekend started Thursday with Drew flying in from the DC area & Danny arriving from Miami with his Andial 993tt racer in tow. The guys & I really get into it about driving disciplines, preferences & general automotive related shit talk. The next day we had a journey on our hands which would consist of the previously mentioned 993tt, @rollinartworks 997.2 GT3, & my humble F56 JCW. Our session was a blast, recorded at my home with all our amenities about. A great weekend with my boys.

Welcome! Tonight's episode features the homie Michael Barr, a super [JDM] enthusiast from the Tampa Bay area. We've known eachother in passing for a couple of years now so this was a great oppurtunity to chat, get to know one another. He showed up in a Bayside Blue (repaint) R32 GT-R fitted with a Do-Luck kit and an ultra set of Nismo wheels. The car sounded fucking fabulous. That was a nice suprise. We go over tons of shit including Barr's start into automotives & his past job at BMW as a product specialist. He's gone to great heights to build the 32 that was parked out front, this one is in depth- and multi faceted. Enjoy everyone.

@mr_lan_evo "Rolling Guy" - #057 Jan 20, 2022

LADIES & GENTS,
Welcome back to an overdue episode of Motor Culture. This is your badly-planning host Imraan A Shameem, and its time for some podcasts. The last couple of months has been a tough time to get shit done, and that's saying the least. A lot has happened between business movement, & possibly being infected by Omicron (though never confirmed). Along with that, life is just moving & changing as it should! I have been diligently seeking out and scheduling individuals/groups of human beings that will continue to make Motor Culture the go-to automotive podcast, believe that.
Now, to session 57 with my boy Alex. This was CHILL and much needed whether it was recorded or not. My family is out of country for a couple of month's and I have been staying lowkey, so this was a "get it all out there" type of chat. Alex and I met a while ago at what was then known as "Motorsport by Reeves - cars & coffee" located right here in Tampa. He has an Evo VI which (including the V) is my favorite chassis of the great Evo. I fell IN LOVE with the car the moment I set eyes on it, and actually have a picture of the first day we met pulled up in my finder at this very moment. Beyond cars, we realized there was a lot in common between the two of us including but not limited to nerdish enthusiasms & culinary. We're both fans of travel, both speak about life in eclectic ways...it was meant to be. I love in-person sessions dearly, so enjoy this as much as I did. See you soon.

Welcome to episode fifty-six of MCP! This session features my boy Daoud, a spiritual motoring addict based in Ohio but with links throughout the country particularly here in Florida. We have known eachother thanks to the internet (specifically E46fanatics.com) since 2007 where we discovered we owned different specs, of the same car. My beloved, his beloved E46 M3 convertible. We were both 18, both hustling at AT&T at a time where the world was transitioning to the "smart phone" and killing it. He's honed a very simliar tuning & taste outlook to mine and it's kept us homies ever since. He's had 20+ BMW M3s, his machine of choice [naturally]. It's worth mentioning that his current M3 is very special given it's a BMW Individual "Speed Yellow" example sitting on a meaty set of Mag-blue TE37SL! Fucking rad. We had a lovely discussion about specs, colors, tuning and one thats relatble as one of my accounts is in ode to the BMW Individual lineage; @BMWindividuell. Enjoy our well tenured conversation about a whole LOT.

Welcome back to the sub-series within the Motor Culture podcast, Conversation Street featuring brother from another, Sanjay Tohan. We're self titled masters of talk, talk about everything...talk about nothing. Today's chat about nothing was a series of niche subjects ranging from the re-popularity, resurgance of the station-wagon body style from the eyes of the manufacturer. To be crystal clear, not the enthusiasts, whom have had their wagon niche groups since before I was around. We then transistion into the topic of colors, what was & what is popular because of the populace. Is it cool to replicate an outfit you saw on someone else? Find out what we think, and more. Enjoy.

These boys are also equipped with automotive culture knowledge, with deep rooted opinions that have been built over the course of years, over a course of experiences.

By profession, he's in the Navy and works on an active aircraft carrier. That in itself is uber interesting but the other angle is his automotive side. He's always had cool, useful, and very personally styled cars which have been enligtening to watch the evolution of. Ariel generally being a sharp minded, intelligent person gives gateway to easy conversation. It's Thanksgiving weekend so I can only hope you sit back, light up, pour up & hit play. Cheers my friends!

@German_Motor_Group "to E61 M5, or to E46 CSL today? - #053 Sep 28, 2021

My friends, welcome to session number fifty-three of Motor Culture. This is a long awaited session as timing just wouldn't line up but the golden evening finally arrived. Andy & Dorian of the New York based BMW EU spec sales specialist, German Motor Group join me for not only an enlightening chat but an entertaining one. These guys are leading the charge in the niche expertise of BMW importing from the homeland. With models imported from Germany such as S38 powered E34 M5 touring(s), E36 M3 GT, E30 M3, E30 Z1, & holy fuck- an E61 M5. They even have a couple of E46 M3 CSLs in bound. It's an easy call to say they aren't fucking around by any measure. These guys are so sickly addicted to bringing homeland native BMWs to the states that they were even kicked back in one of their E34 M5s while chatting with me lmao. Both of them are so well educated in the game and in the spirit of what this all means to people, starting with themselves. Self spawning inspiration to me is the highest level of the category. Chasing dreams allowed them to experience their dream cars, now on a daily basis at that. In addition to G-M-G, Dorian owns Greenwich Auto Works specializing in European vehicle service & new car preparation. The two shops in conjunction create a streamlined aftersales process. They have in hand cars that I have genuinely adorned long before it was the popular thing to do. I truly am inspired by their getup & go attitudes, one of my grander reasons for loving the tri-state. Hustle or nothing. Enjoy this lovely session. Cheers.

@Rickyboada @RMCMiami "Dadelandians" - #052 Sep 17, 2021

Welcome to a very fun 52 featuring my friend, local legend Ricky Boada and my brother from another, Danny Lima of RMC Miami. This episode is just fucking idealistic of what I imagined the podcast to be, to feel like by now; listening to it today made me REALLY feel that and I hope you guys do too, particularly with my OG audience that has seen the stream change from 0 to now. With that, I was invited to a small private kitchen plotted dinner with some pals at "Shadow Wagyu" here in Miami. By a fucking random coincidence, Ricky was coming as well and we were going to reschedule the podcast until we realized we'll both be at the same dinner, in the same city, and pals with the same homie. There was no choice but to complete this special 48 hours but to sit down and have a REAL session over shisha, herbal goods and Japanese whiskey where we go from one thing to another like crazy, but with chaotic organization. Ricky, whom was introduced to me by the man Esteban (over at ASG) years ago has always been an interesting character to me. Vibrant, always in a positive mood and really into different shit. One of his machines is a 1936 Ford Model-A with a boosted S2000 F20 with an accordinly appropriate drivetrain. Do you know what emotions are evoked hearing that sound come from a hotrod on Nascar wheels and tires, IN MIAMI? You don't know, stop reading this right now and go fall into a wormhole on his page. He also has a C6Z powered 'American Devil Z' machine that is just a cream of the crop outfit, style and taste. During this time I was proud to see my boy Danny really get used to this shit. From several episodes back to now there is a clear raise in comfort and presentation. The questions he was asking Ricky allowed me to sit back and pre-game for our dinner. A single snail R33 GTR was the ride of the night on the other side of the wall behind us, A5 Wagyu on the menu + many other amazing goods, and a sparkling conversation between movers in the only world I know. You will enjoy this, and if you don't then piss off. I'm kidding, enjoy and much love. Oh and if you live in Miami, or visit- hit Shadow Wagyu (call to make reservation), it's a genuine experience. Compliements to the chefs.

@Tedward_ig "Ted Talk" - #051 Sep 15, 2021

Tonight's episode features the man behind Tedward, Tom. This was an excellent conversation with tons of brash details regarding many interesting topics both automotive & non. Tom's had a hell of a journey getting to where he is, moving across a variety centric corporate path to following a passion that allows him to experience all sorts of cars. He has amassed a large following on YouTube and it's immediately apparent why that is. His library is filled with a plethora of crispy POV videos behind the wheel of a variety of cars both super and not so, and in everyday situations. We talk about his very clean E39 M5 whom he bought from the original owner, his life in the textile industry, along with his other in mechanical engineering. A great time, thanks Tom.

Episode number 50! I want to thank all the listeners for sticking with me all this time, it's truly been an honor and tonso fun. Much love & thanks.
This episode features my boy Daniel Basaly, a friend made via Instagram. He moved to the Tampa area (where I reside) after he started following me while living in his home state, NJ. By complete coincidence, we end up living in the same area and I actually saw his car parked outside of a Walmart/Publix etc. then he told me he moved via DM, and to where which made me realize I just saw his car. Weird, very angular, very cool story. Anyhow, a goodbit of time has passed and now it feels like we're family. Our ladies are even pals. With that, we go over TONS of dope fucking stories and memories. From this guy spinning his E60 M5 out in high speed situations to jailbird tales. Discussing cars, and deep rooted culture in this one. This was also my first in-person conversation with some new equipment I added. No more mic sharing when in person, moving on up. Thanks for listening, enjoy.

@d_t_a_f “Florida, man” - #049 Sep 04, 2021

Good morning & welcome to episode 49 of Motor Culture! Tonight my pal David and I have a lovely laid back chat about what we know best; automotives & imagery. With a very distinctive outlook, David’s images speak for themselves broadly displaying splashes of color finished with a cinematic touch. From motorsport photography and motivating factors to casual chill sessions, we cover a whole lot. He rolls around in a Melbourne Red E90 M3, and has had a plethora of random M cars both old and new and unusually, in no particular order (love that). Amongst many other topics one that stuck out to me was the divide of owners and opinions as it comes to modern BMWs versus those of the past. Overall, a wonderful insightful combo and be sure to stay aware as we’re working on an FL superpowers session 😇

@cw_unit "R34 GTR Dreams" - #048 Sep 02, 2021

Welcome back, this episode is brought to you by the letters; GTR. Tonight I have on Charles Wong out of Vancouver, BC-CN (my third international poddy). I've been a fan of Charles and his absolutely wild obsession with JDM sports cars with a polarizing eye always aimed at a GTR. The R34 GTR to be specific is his thing, and theres no shortage of experiences gained as he's anti-low mileage, and anti-sitting-the-fuck-around. We cover one of his R34 GTRs very throughly, I believe the one that represents his character and aura the most. It's a blue car built to Charles' every requirement by the ever so legendary, Garage Saurus in Saitama, Japan. This car has been tested on Tsukuba, a personal dream of his thanks to the beloved Gran Turismo franchise. It has been across Japan, attended many PA meetings, trackdays and Wangan rides all with a British Columbia tag mounted on the back. Oh, and we also cover the Garage Saurus 550M in brash detail :)
This is good, listen. Have a lovely night.

@AMSAutowerks @Fish2556 "Boiler Room" - #047 Aug 29, 2021

Welcome friends to a lovely episode 47. This was a dope conversation with Diogo from AMS Autowerks (NJ) and Fish from the Autobarn Imports (IL). I thought it'd be perfect to pair up the two since they've historically done business together and have become pals through it all. It's worth mentioning that my individual conversations with the two were fun in themselves, creating the perfect meshing for a conversation spanning a variety of topics. From random shop talk regarding both business fronts to VW's 'Dieselgate', to Fish buying an RS2 (whilst recording) to Diogo driving an Accord everyday lmfao, and PLENTY more. This was a chill shit talk session with three guys whom love to talk. This is exactly why I started this podcast. Enjoy.

@MannyFraga @Sanjaydotcom "Xanthophile" - #046 Aug 28, 2021

Episode 46 is brought to you by the color, yellow. As a matter of fact as it turns out, if you are addicted or infatuated by the color yellow then you are considered a xanthophile. This session comes appropriately titled as there are 3 yellow Porsche's between the two guests featured. Manny Fraga, new pal whom I met at a wind down session at RMC Miami the same weekend that Sanjay picked up his Racing Yellow 991.2 turbo. Outside of RMC that night as we all rambled on about automotive politics was a sight to be seen as the young, yellow turbo was parked next to an also yellow, seasoned C4S cabriolet. This was by chance that Danny of RMC invited his pal over whom by chance has two yellow p-cars (other is also a turbo, 996) and it was an instant connection. Manny's a cool ass dude and it was an instant connection. He's exactly the type of canidate that I seek out for Motor Culture given his nature of to be multi-dimensional. He's a business man, has an infatuation with cool shit, hones is own chill ass style, unique taste and works hard to have two obnoxiously painted cars. I love it. Join us as we go down memory lane exploring Manny's life in cars. Great chilled out session, and yes this time I didn't lose the recording. You'll hear about that during the intro SMDH.
Much love & enjoy 46.

The Kaz Runners "The Real Driving Simulator" - #045 Aug 26, 2021

Here's a special one featuring our Gran Turismo groupchat coined "Kaz Runners". Kaz is in short for Kazunori Yamauchi, creator of the mystical Playstation gaming experience. I've been at it since the release of the first game in the late 90s and addicted ever since. Todd (@KidKhaoz, Maryland) is another member of the group that has played since the OG days and we have a funny story about that which includes a pair of Viper GTS' and a couple bowls of canned Ravioli. Jarrett (@Bullpup.Jay, Florida), Ed (@Teckniks, Maryland), & Lucas (@lucasgelinstiques, ON-CA) provide other hilarious random chatter as we run laps around the Nordschleife in a jam packed room. While gunning laps and getting lit, a big [general] discussion of other simlulators in contrast to the GT series come into focus. You'll hear me be hyper critical of Forza, so if you're a fan then forgive me. This was a great, last minute - casual as fuck session that makes me appreciate modern tech for giving me the oppurtunity to kick with old friends from a far.
If you'd like to join us for weekly Touristenfahrten laps, add me on PSN and send a message: @M3n0drft. The 0 is a zero.

@RMCMIAMI "A real Japan partner" - #044 Aug 22, 2021

My friends, loyal listeners- welcome back and thanks for baring through this intro with my son, Ocean lol. Episode forty four features my boy Danny, of RMC Miami. Last time we had a session, it was madness to say the least and while I thought it was a riot- we didn't get to focus on what we really wanted to chat about. This then was perfect. Light background noise from cars being moved around and setup for DRT, but trust that it's tolerable. We focus on a barrage of characteristics of Japanese tuning and theory behind why they do what etc etc....It's very fascinating to think that beyond the variety and obvious obession of automobiles in Japan that the tuning has it's very own lane of enthusiasm. The chase for the perfect drive. The culture of scooping part you saw on a forum "build" is a bit thinner there. I appreciate all things unique. Enjoy our chat, and thank you again for listening.

@directorlukeh "if you're a lazy creative or have bad vibes, maybe we won't be a good fit"- #043 Aug 09, 2021

Ladies a gents, this is a special one for me. A filming legend from New Zealand but based in Japan, enriched by the [automotive] culture - Luke Huxham. This was a lovely conversation that stretched from Tampa to Tokyo crushing my previous record with one of my close friends from Canada ironically named Lucas lol. Back on topic, Luke is behind some of my favorite automotive films such as the Redbull-F40 ski slope climb, the Hakone turnpike run featuring a retired Z4 GT3 and Kawabata piloting the fuck out of a R35 over the most gorgeous geography. There is a certain style of filming that really hits the heart, a very serious cinematicly gorgeous perception that really introduces you to different understanding of how things can be shown. He doesn't fuck around with the extent it takes to film the angle perfecting the scene. He uses a C6 RS6 avant as his camera car. I should end with that. Listen to this episode, tell your friends, follow Luke- and enjoy.

@MRK.RCNL "The illest" - #042 Aug 03, 2021

Here it is, episode 42 featuring an automotive living legend- Mark Arcenal. This was a delightful converstaion with a fella I've long looked up to and luckily it went just as I'd imagined. Like the laid back lo-fi music that lines his life, Mark is a super chill - hyper automotively enlightened person. Now I've said this before and will say it as many times as its heard but pre-social media widespread movements of anykind are nothing short of fascinating. The factor of fascination is hard to fathom unless you were in the game before being able to key in a hashtag to find anything and everything. This was a time where you looked for shit that you wanted infront of you, or not. 1999, Fatlace sat in Japantown out in the beautiful Frisco area culiminated by hip-hop, sneaker, graffiti & automotive enthusiasts led by Mark. It was apparent that the combinations of the aforementioned hobbyist enterprises was not only of interest to the folks in Frisco, but rather globally. It went like a rocket from there.
We cover Mark's extensive history in the sneaker (sport fashion) & automotive industries without limitations. You'll learn about the RWB program, history of brick & mortar storefronts, global meets, inclusion in gaming/media & but of course- the fucking cars. We talk lots of cars. With that said, thank you Mark for your time, my brother! For everyone else, thank you for your continued support & enjoy episode 42 of the Motor Culture Podcast.

Conversation Street "Turbo Talk" feat. @Sanjaydotcom - #2C Jul 31, 2021

Back to back, I love it. Welcome to episode 2C of a special segment of the Motor Culture podcast which I coin as 'Conversation Street', a series of sessions accompanied by my younger brother from another; Sanjay Tohan or @Sanjaydotcom. This segment comes as a special one as a new vehicle has been acquired, a very special vehicle. A vehicle Sanjay has talked about for years over, which came along with a hell of an adventure in retreiving the 'Racing Yellow' sports-coupe. The yellow 2-door in question is a 2018 991.2 [Porsche] 911 Turbo. A sexy, efficient yet brutal machine it is. A quick outline pretty much comes down to; Sanjay flies into Tampa, we leave to Ft. Myers to pickup the car, my MINI blows a sidemount, we leave it, we drive back to Tampa- next day leaving to Miami, etc etc etc....
Nevertheless, I won't spoil it- this is Sanjay's story. A grand memorable, fun as fuck journey included. Pour up, light up, and please sit back and listen up. Cheers friends.

@AMSAutoWerks "Dream it. Build it. Race it." - #041 Jul 30, 2021

Forty-One, a GREAT session featuring Diogo of the legendary NJ based, AMS Auto Werks. Known across the states, AMS has had their hand in some serious automotive dreamery. In this no-fucks-given chat, Diogo highlights his business strategies and the route he's taken to gain the noteriety in which AMS carries today. Going over the highs, and more uncommonly the lows - the brash reality of a one-stop shop inclusive of a top level auto body facility is really brought into light. As an East-Coaster I can truly appreciate Diogo's fast talking, fast thinking sensabilities and the absolute obsessive nature he emplores into every job whether the task is a Ferrari or a Fiat. A great deal of you have requested to hear from AMS, and here we are. A fun, relaxing convo with lots of data and laughs. Just in time for the weekend, enjoy friends.

@Brooklyn_Auto_Sales "A goal is a dream with a deadline" - #040 Jul 21, 2021

40+ EPISODES IN! THANK YOU all for sticking with me and spreading the word. More importantly, thank you for taking interests in the guests I seek and all of the feedback that comes with. This is a great session to celebrate my mini-milestone!
Many people reached out asking if I knew Adam at Brooklyn Auto but like most, I was an avid follower. It was via my account '@BMWindividuell' that we made contact. I took a special interest in the fact that Adam took a special interest in finding BMW Individual vehicles just for inventory. Amidst the colorful BMW's however stood many a legendary sports cars of all types. All of the cars are always in tip top shape whether economy or exotic. There are different paths to take when creating a specialty car dealership and this comes down to what you want to deal with on a day to day with the consideration of self-interests. It's your thing, do you what you want. With that, the more of a focus on modern machinery honing rare characteristics makes this a unique place indeed. Being smackdab in Brooklyn just adds to the coolness factor. Everyone- enjoy.

@ASGMiami "Automotive Dreamery" - #039 Jul 14, 2021

Long overdue comes episode 39, welcome all. Back in January I took a few days to myself and went to Miami to record some juicy content. I had the pleasure of recording with two, Miami based 'special car segment' automotive dealerships. This was a unique experience understanding the business practices and contrasts between them. I take much solace in learning through this journey of the Motor Culture show.
With that, as the sun turned to the second part of the day I showed up to Auto Source Group Miami (ASG) where my buddy Esteban was waiting for me with his new-to-him E36 M3, a real treat. Opening up the shop's office and bay doors my eyes were wide with excitement. Without spoiling the details of our conversation - two of my takeaway vehicles had to be the Alpina B10 Bi-Turbo (E34-EU) & the 911 GT2 Club Sport (996-EU). As to be a sampling, these are the type of special cars ASG seeks to please their very enthusiastic clients. A few minutes later, the owner Giancarlo showed up and provided me with further insight to stock and general information. It was a pleasure talking to both Esteban and Giancarlo, they're all about the chill - all about the laid back- and all about the cars. Thanks for your time gentlemen, and as for the rest of you; sit back and enjoy.

@PTSRS "Rare Shades"- #038 Jun 19, 2021

Peeps, welcome to session 38 with Porsche Paint-to-Sample expert, Will Lee or as you may know him - @PTSRS. Foremost I just want to say - I walked into this as a fanboy & walked out a very enlightened fanboy. Will started @PTSRS with passion for special colors and specifications but also as a form of education for himself, and the viewing world. Dually carrying a strong passion for Porsche which is shared by millions across the globe, the popularity and support of the account skyrocketed. Now with hundreds of thousands of fans, and probably the biggest image directory of Porsche paint-to-sample vehicles and information, the plan was deemed a success. Most recently Will collaborated with Porsche on an April Fool's joke where supposedly a new paint effect was introduced by the PTS department; Patina (lmao). For something like this to have happened requires a shit load of time, motivation, research, and what I consider to be the most important; passion. @PTSRS has inspired many a readers as to their own dreamy orientations of their favorite cars. This is such an interesting episode, sit back & listen closely. Cheers friends.

@RMCMIAMI "Inventory of Dreams" - #037 May 24, 2021

Supp, welcome to 37 my friends. This exceedingly overdue episode features my boy Danny, his father Peter, & their iconic place of business known as Real Muscle Car Miami or RMC Miami. First, I just want to say long before I considered these guys family - I was a big fan of their institution. The cars they offer along with their associated mental on-set is what drew me to the legendary Miami institution. Their revolving inventory always consists of some of the greatest put together street and track cars, of our time. A dealership that hones in on the history of not only the sports machine but the responsible tuning bodies. Danny, whom tends to oversee the daily duties tends to shoot for the highest quality cars and usually not from their native homes. Importing European cars from Asia, Asian cars from Europe- these guys know no bounds. The focus is the quality of the kit, and furthermore the drive. Some of the roster does/has included 935 DP, Idlers RWB street & track cars, GTR swapped Supra's, bi-turbo F360, along with many a Wangan ready RX7s. I'll tell you this, that walking through their facility brings on some serious energy when you're seeing all of these international machiens under one roof. Modded machines at that. It is a very unique place, and great place for you to pickup your next enthusiast machine. We're joined in this session by a few other buddies, so please bare with the testosterone. A follow-up to this session will air in a few episodes, till then- pour up, light up and join us for an uplifting car talk.

36 is finally here, one I and many others have been waiting to go live. This true to definition "session" features my homie Kenny. He's based in Orlando but originally out of the DMV area like myself. He came up to Tampa and we had a great evening over smoke, great food & most of all - awesome conversation. Ken's a fanatical type of person as it comes to hobbyist pastures. An automotive fanatic but with equal hands in a few other pies. Sneakers, hyper quality blown glass along only to be used with the best quality canna goods around. He is a thorough type of guy, a facet I appreciate as I think attention to detail needs to be an across the board thing in ones life. We talk stories from the DMV, his grand entrance into the world of automotives & the many BMWs he has had + currently owns. Additionally chatting about Kenny's sneaker wall and obsession all things 90s. Light one up & join us, cheers.

Fanatics, enthusiasts - I welcome you to 35 featuring my homie Tyler Chavis, owner and founder of Chavis Performance & Engineering. Tyler's shop specializes in swapping the legendary Chevrolet "Luxury Sport" powerplant into a legendary German bloodline of cars - Porsche. While they are open to taking any model or shape of Porsche, it's easy to say 911 customers are the most frequent.

If you haven't already, give episode #022 a listen as it features another pal and owner of a CPE 997-4S! Lastly, I've known Tyler for a long time through the BMW community and it's an absolute delight to see the course of direction his V8 powered life has gone. Enjoy the show.

Welcome to 34 featuring the great Andrew Bishay. A bay area (Florida) enthusiast of massive automotive proportions. So, let me explain that last sentence; he has a facility equipped with all sorts of tooling, parts, memorabilia & all sorts of sick cars. Weapons of the street and the track from Munich & Stuttgart. It was a lovely fucking vibe having the recording equipment & hookah setup right in the middle of the mayhem. Once the coals were lit, we get into Andrew's obsession and go down the list of cars. He's spent a plethora of hours honing his skills at Sebring International Raceway & knows a thing or two about pushing it to the fucking maximum. With access to some amazing platforms such as the 930, 993, 997, E30, E36, E46 & beyond gives him a wide spread understanding of vehicle control. We were also joined by Andrew's cousin, Jack whom rolled up to the party in a clean Imola Red E46 M3. A great night, and even better chat.

As a few previous episodes highlight, I'm a big fan of suburban area based afcionados, so this was a dually interesting session. We go over Mitch's effective & clean machines, along with his obsession of the music game. In the big city while time is money, patience is also a key element which is why mad miles is apart of Mitch's weely regiment. Ladies & gents, its the wee hours of Sunday April 4, and I thank you for joining.

@LucasGelinstiques "The Brazillian-Canadian whom drives German" - #032 Feb 02, 2021

Welcome to 32, featuring my good friend Lucas Gelinstiques based out of Ottawa, Canada's capital. He is the owner of a new care preparation / auto care situation, Vogue Motorsports. First and foremost, I love Canada. Feels like a laid back USA with a dash of European influence. Similarly I love their automotive culture which brings me back to my boy Lucas. We have a super interesting backstory which starts with an International friendship through Instagram, which reads cheesy as fuck - I know. But it lead to good things, great times, and we go over a bunch of that stuff along with Lucas' automotive addiction. He has a very special, 1/150 'Frozen Limited Edition' E92 M3 ZCP in the frozen interation of Monte Carlo Blue, a color out of the BMW Individual catalog (shoutout @BMWindividuell). The E92 rests amongst other vehicles within the family including a well driven tri-pedal Gallardo, oof. He like me is a long distance roadgoing warrior, and its because of this reason we met in person. An Overnight haul from Ottawa to Tampa to make my then unborn son's gender reveal. WILD times. I end up road tripping back up with him etc etc blah blah, listen to the episode. Great driving stories on this one!

@RJS_1022 "The PCAR Hustler" - #031 Feb 02, 2021

Welcome to 31 featuring an old buddy of mine, RJ Sidhu. We met during the end of our high school tenure, respectively. Me a Montogmery County kid, him a Howard County kid and somehow we formed an early friendship directly through automotives. The former and latter counties are based in Maryland btw. There was something about those times that brings a smile to the face, my first insertion into the Hoco tuning atmosphere which was vividly different (at the time) to Moco auto culture. We frequented meets all over the DMV, went on multiple drives which included a bunch of runs that would effectively snake in and out of the entire map if you will, a moment in time that I will forever cherish. RJ and I have always been somewhat likeminded with us still naturally honing our differences, but thats the beauty of most things; the contrast. RJ now works for Porsche within sales and vehicle attainment and is a brand ambassador. It's nice to have watched RJ's professional journey really take shape and all of it within the automotive sector, and to see where it goes. Join us, friends.
If you're in a market for a new Porsche, or a special allocation then RJ is your guy:

Hello world, welcome to session 29 featuring my Pacific NW E60 M5/BMW buddy, Petar Vrcelji Nikolic. A super BMW connoisseur with a badass movie characters name and a nice variety of rounded badged machines; E60 M5 (6MT), E39 M5, E38 740i, E34 525i (5MT). The M5 is the world first sedan - saloon variant to rock a very crispy set of BBS E88s. His 740i is a Navarra Violet example fitted with a yummy set of silver Alpina's accented by Euro headlights and tails, sick. Not a bad outfit for a 22 year old. Petar's as knowledgable as it comes within the automotive world and is another one of my guests who carry a deep appreciation for Japan & the respect within their automotive world. This is a great convo, and Petar is a great follow on IG. Click that button, and enjoy the show!

Hello all and welcome to episode 28 of the show! Today I'm joined by my boy Bhupinder aka BSingh as I call him. Another DMV BMW M enthusiast and all around automotive lover living the tuning culture based in Northern Virginia. I wanted to have B on the show because of his very spiritual perspective on the game. He has a very special take on all of this automotive nonsense we so deeply love and is based in literally the 1st of 50th STRICTEST state as it comes to road laws. In Virginia, the reckless driving threshold was just recently changed from 80 to 85 MPH and is considered a often, a jailable offense. I myself have more than a few stories about some interesting times in Virginia 👀. This is an interesting one, and I want to thank B for heading out to his daily driver (Prius) for taking our call as to not wake his family 😆. You're a real one for that, lets go!

@Turrbo "The Ariel of Angeles Crest" - #027 Jan 04, 2021

Welcome all to episode 27 of the show. In this session, I welcome Arin Baharian whom kindly took the time to call in from Southern Cali. During the day, his profession grants him full access to the deepest parts of the automotive business. During his off time, he straps up in a highly worked Ariel Atom to cast his rule over the San Gabriel Mountain range by way of the Angeles Crest Highway (California State Highway 2). We really touch on the spiritual aspect of what it is, what it means, and how to drive this road. People who frequent the run on HWY 2 have a deep connection and respect with the tarmac, which is why it's no surprise the area is filled with passing enthusiasts. Arin and I chat about the rest of his fleet, all providing a totally different experience than the other. My favorite of his is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van fully loaded for on-road living, equipped with a mobile office that gives Arin the oppurtunity to drive to the beach, or the mountains and login to work. This guy knows how to California. Tune in.
Also, a special shoutout to my boy David (@bmtrdyoo, featured on #016) for connecting Arin and I! They're driving buddies out West, cheers to that!

@C63murray "Speed, Science & Space" - #026 Dec 27, 2020

Welcome to session 26, the episode with Chris Murray that I and many have been looking forward to. Chris is a man of many interests those of which include space, both medical and general sciences and of course, the science and allure of speed. Currently equipped with a W204 C63 AMG as his daily weapon, we talk about our shared obsession with Best Motoring and the Japanese ideology of motoring. Gran Turismo style road-car battle greatness pre-dating GT being a thing. Additionally, Chris's name preference of cars; the sounds they make. I can relate to the latter, and I think that is what brought us together in the first place many years ago on Instagram as he owned a Silverstone II Met. E60 M5, SMG. The car that places his highspeed obsession into structure. Yes, V10 talk. Join in to hear Chris & I have a delightful chat.

@Southpawww - "Auto Corp Gawd" - #023 Nov 30, 2020

Welcome to 23, an episode featuring my friend Brandon aka @Southpawww the great. We became buddies via the now legendary 'E46fanatics' forum during the early 2000's. He had an infamous E46 sedan which ran a fully sharpie'd ZHP front bumper cover and was a very active figure within the BMW community only to move into the automotive industry. His entrance into the world was via BMW of El Cajon where he started as a porter. With deep passion and a constant chase, he acquired a hell of a roll at 'THE THERMAL CLUB' near Joshua Tree. This was an oppurtunity to shred tires in some of the greatest modern ///M cars on the manufacturers behalf along with enriching his own driving abilities. From there it was only up where he relocated to the Miami metro area (followed by various parts of Texas) to be a 'senior regional product trainer for BMW NA. Having gained an immense knowledge base and deep rooted experience in the car business via BMW and his sheer enthusiasm, he accepted an 'Area Trainer' position at Porsche Cars North America in Northern California. His journey through the industry is an inspiring one, one that has taken me by storm as this path has long been one of my desires. It's great to see Brandon's thorough work ethic within a very desired space. Anyways, I've said enough. Give it a listen, you will enjoy this one particularly if you're seeking the same path.

Welcome friends to episode 22 of Motor Culture featuring my longtime homie, John Kim. He’s a known staple in the DMV automotive scene via a few facets, his vehicles & his businesses.

From Japanese street machines like his LSX, NASCAR soundtrack S14 to a couple of Lamborghini’s, several Porsches, a few off roaders, tons of motorcycles & the list goes on. From a business perspective, John’s someone I look up to. He opened a humble little yogurt shop in Ellicot City, MD pre-dating froyo nationwide hype. This shop was the host to some of the most legendary DMV automotive gatherings. It was a great hangout, but now he’s moved onto bigger & better, Bonchon 😋. Korean fried chicken & cars. Oh, he’s also a chiropractor 👨‍⚕️. A man with multiple talents, an enthusiasm for cars, fashion & travel. What better? Tune in.

P.s, oh & be sure to visit John’s page, click follow & take a peak at the 997s major aesthetic update 😏

Welcome back old friends, and hello new friends. Tonights episode is with the great, Fish. He's someone who has self curated a vastly sick collection of fine automobiles, 99% of which are white. We're talking all M3s, from E30 to F80, 996 GT3, 996 (X50) Turbo, 997 GT3RS, MKIV Supra, RE Amemiya FD RX-7, MK2 Rallye Golf, 964 RS America and the list goes the fuck on and doesn't lighten up. He's someone who is apart of a well known automotive squad known as Risky Devil, a squad I've been a fan of for years. They never fucked around and went all in with their vehicles, namely properly built slide style Japanese cars. We talk about that, a whole experience with the squad being apart of the Need for Speed franchise via his old RWB machine, and his insane medical addiction to cars. ALL cars, which is like I. This is a conversation I've been looking forward to for a long time. Enjoy.

Hello everybody and welcome to episode #020 featuring my friend Garrick. Based in Jacksonville, he drove a Sapphire Blue metallic 981 Cayman GT4. 'Drove' being the operative word here because recently he made the last minute decision to change the pace and pickup a 718 Boxster Spyder. For those of you whom may not be aware, this is the topless version of the GT4. We talk about the migration from coupe to roadster, the numerous trips in the GT4 to the famed 'Smokies GT' gathering. Additionally our driving tales with Garrick's old Austin Yellow F82 M4 & my M5 right after I moved to Florida. This is a fun one. Thanks for listening!

Hello friends! Tonights episode features my boy Andrew Braithwaite whom I met in high school. While a fan of many brands, his love primarily falls under the VAG umbrella. We talk about his immense history of vehicles including his current [highly modded] 996 turbo.

He drives a E60 M5 (6MT) with a load of suspension work and is a more than frequent goer at the famed Angeles Crest highway. The M5 is a beautifully unusual choice for the ACH, and it takes a proper driver to run it properly amgonst the many track focused cars & bikes on the same route. We chat about the latter, my experiences at the ACH, and close calls. Thanks for joining our session!

He was in some of the earlier episodes which were recorded in Maryland as group conversations, but we hadn't the chance to have a solo chat and I'm glad we did. This is a good one where we talk about various automotive odds and ends but a big sector on maintenance. That E60 M5 is looking real good at sub 15K, but can you afford to run it? Or should you buy something that isn't within the realm of 100K MSRP vehicle maintenance? Have a listen in on our views.

We also chat about Connors Lime Rock Park (E92) M3 along with his 15,000 mile, 75 day road trip in his FJ Cruiser. Miles for meals.

Hello all, welcome back to another episode. This time Harry and I go over some H20i (2020) highlights, and the many negatives that arose this year. Including, but not limited to OCPD's overzealous policing + the sheer idiocy brought in by the modern fuckboy. The latter of which isn't supported by true H20i fans, like ourselves. Undoubtedly the even has changed over the years, but was it difficult to traverse the territory? Is H20i [as we know it] officially dead? Listen in to find out.

What a great night spent at EAG Performance with my man, the owner Hamouda & gang just days before H20i 2020. The setup for this podcast was super dope with tables and chairs right in the center of the workshop. We were surrounded by a bunch of sick machinery, all being prepared for H20i. An F80 M3 & an F86 with matching wraps, kitted AMG GTS owned by Hamouda's brother Dia, Karim's individual E63 M6 in Stratus Grey met., & Manat's clean F82 M4 just to name a few. Hamouda's F06 M6 Gran Coupe was on the lift for the 4.6L (S63B46T0 Troy Jeup) motor install. It was a great time discussing various automotive topics, and some history between everyone at the table.

We talk random smack, like Sanjays F90 M5 versus Joey's FD3S on a technical - twisty road. One would assume the obvious outcome with the Mazda coming out at first, but with modern technology and the might of the M5, I'd like to think otherwise. The last 24 minutes or so is a solo, quick recap of my time in the DMV & how the E30 endured the 4,500+ mile, less than 30 day trip 🤭

A simliarity that has been shared between us is the lack of prejudice we carry as it comes to anything automotive. We are the type of people to park a S15 Silvia next to the Enzo in the garage.

@Highgrade @Sanjaydotcom @Geo_gan -"Never Lift Squad- #004 Sep 13, 2020

Happy Sunday!
Another great chat session with my boys Drew, Sanjay & George. In this episode, we discuss some of our early machines which lead to some of our greatest memories of the time (Early 2000s). These guys are stacked with heavy machinery in modernity, but sit back and listen to how their road to living the culture of automotive enthusiasm began.

This was a great fucking time with my friends, most of which are based in the Howard County sector of the area. This wasn't the area I grew up in however, but before there was social media, it was cars that essentially formed our friendship. That led to a lot of stories from the grand event; H20i based in Ocean City, Maryland. Nights spent driving hard, days spent doing the same with a shit load of Hookah/Shisha!

@Bullpup.Jay @Harry.Fraux -"Best Budz"- #002 Sep 10, 2020

A great discussion with my buddies Harry & Jarrett! Both of these gentlemen have their respective experiences within the automotive-enthusiasm scape with an interesting history, one that has developed their automotive modernity. We discuss Harry's first dive into the sports car world with his BMW (E90) M3 & Jarrett's time with his very strong Audi (C5) RS6. So, pour up something tasty & join us for a fun sesh with some of my favorite people!
