Matt tells us about his trip to Scotland (drivers, falcons, whiskey, oh my!), the largest non-tree, fake rabbits, and more. Then we talk about Pebble Beach 2022: Driving up in the refurbished Ferrari; which PR team is the best at drinking; Spike's live show; meeting the irritatingly impressive Mate Rimac; and how to drive home in record time.

Should you buy a car or lease it? Can you write your car off? What does the IRS hate? How is the EV rebate changing?
We've had a lot of questions about automotive financing so it's time to bring in an expert! John McGuire is a CPA that's here to talk to us about interest rates, auto loans, bad lease deals, financing pitfalls, and why you should (or shouldn't) roll over your automotive loan.
Finances aren't exciting but money effects us all, and as they say, knowledge is power.
Topics include "what's a write-off"?; writing off cars; buying vs leasing; what the IRS hates; investing in cars; rolling over loans; repossessions; why being a CPA is a great job; and more!

Dai Yoshihara is a professional driver who has competed in Formula D, Time Attack, Road Racing, and Hill Climb. And it all started with a motorcycle. Sort of.
On this episode we find out how Dai got his start in driving, drifting, and the unlikely meeting that led to his first drift event and ultimately, his career. Dai walks us through his car history; the differences between road racing and drifting; why he loves the Pikes Peak Hill Climb; his AE86 builds; and the one race car he would own if he could.
Some of his most notable moments: he won the Formula D championship in 2011, 3rd place in the 25 Hours of Thunderhill, 1st overall in the 2019 Global Time Attack Super Lap Battle, and took 1st place in the Unlimited class (and 9th overall) at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb of 2020. He's also been a drift judge, a precision driver, co-hosted a show on Hagerty along with our own Zack Klapman, and has been the face of many brands.

Ash Thorp @ashthorp is a digital artist, illustrator and designer. Among many accolades, he did the visual design of the Batmobile for the 2022 film, "The Batman".
But he's more than that. Ash started with nothing and never got a fine art degree, be has used an eclectic mix of technology and creative thought to become a highly successful and respected member of the art community.
On the automotive side, Ash has owned over 20 cars, including an AE86, S2000, EF hatch, and a Raptor, among others.
On this show we talk about how it all started; how he got the Batmobile job; his car history; what NFTs are really about; his next project car; the worst commute in the world; how you can harness a creative mind; and a whole lot more. We didn't know where this show would lead but we're very happy with the result.

Randy Thomas Lanier is a man with some seriously incredible stories. He is a professional race car driver and convicted drug trafficker from the United States. Yes, you read that correctly. Two endeavors that grew together to heights few have experienced.
He is best known for his racing efforts in the mid-1980s, including winning the 1984 IMSA Camel GT title for the wholly independent Blue Thunder Racing team, placing 9th in the 1986 INDY 500, and becoming the Rookie of the Year at that same race. In 1988, Randy was arrested for marijuana smuggling and sentenced to life in prison without parole under the Continuing Criminal Enterprise statute (also known as the "Super Drug Kingpin" law).
We talk to Randy about his late start in racing; how he ascended through the ranks so quickly; beating Porsche; a factory ride offer; how it came crashing down; and how he found purpose and happiness.

She set a drag record in her turbocharged C8 Corvette, blew up a Mustang engine that's taller than a house, widened a Ferrari, started a charity foundation, and somehow finds time to move her acting career forward. We cover that, her Crown Vic racing, where her drive comes from, what she'll do with her Z06, and a lot more.

How did Gordon Murray get his tenacious hunger of design and problem solving? How did he come to design the legendary McLaren F1? What does his new car, the T.50, do that other supercars don't? And what are those strange contraptions he built out of a boiler and a food truck? All that and a lot more will be answered in this amazing episode.
If there were a hall of fame for cars, Gordon Murray would be near the top, seated at the table of bosses next to people like Colin Chapman and Dan Gurney. He was the lead designer and engineer behind the McLaren F1, which came after he had a very successful career as a technical director in F1 for Brabham and McLaren. For some, those credits would be enough to hang their legacy on but as you'll soon hear Gordon is not like other people. His new venture, GMA (Gordon Murray Automotive), has debuted two cars that lit the supercar world on fire because their intent is not to deliver the quickest, fastest, or most powerful ride on Earth, but the best to drive. Gordon's focus has always been about weight reduction and driver feedback, and as will become clear in this show, his focus is sharper than ever. https://gordonmurrayautomotive.com/ \

Hertrech Eugene Jr, better known as Hert, is a staple of the HOONIGAN family and the car world. Hert is as unique as they come and he tells us the WHOLE story of how he came to be one of the premier tire shredders, from his very first car and first accident to his first engine swap, to what he's up to today. Hert has killed a few cars, jobs, and sets of tires.
Known for a no-holds-barred driving style, lack of mechanical sympathy, and aesthetic mods to match, the way he operates is inspiring. We'll talk about how his love of cars began, how he landed at HOONIGAN, and more. @hertlife
