In studio this week Pete Callaway of Callaway Cars joins us. Most people know Callaway for their very potent Corvette packages however they provide solutions for many of GM V8 platforms and Pete shares their origins in modifying BMW 3 series' and first gen VW GTIs. It's not often that we have two VERY fast press cars on hand simultaneously and it's a rare day that one of them is a GT-R and it feels slow by comparison. Matt and Zack fill us in on the insanity that is the Callaway AeroWagen.

A rare ealry morning podcast brings Dax Shepard to the show to promoto CHiPs (out March 24). Dax rolled up in an E63 wagon which of course instantly ingratiated him in the house that smoke, tires and low-brow humor built. We learned how Dax's mother built a thriving automotive event business during his formative years, how many Hypermotards it takes to film a feature and that Kristen Bell is surprisingly cool with Dax launching their family in the air on a sand rail.
