Why GT3RS may not be able to be specified in PTS colors. And why

Nov 14 2022 40 mins  
In this episode, we dispense with the pleasantries and rip BMW a new one for it's design language... or do we? There are clearly sides taken. With descriptions ranging from handsome and classic to a car that only Spongebob Squarepants could love.

Oct 02 2022 45 mins  
We're back! It just took us 9 months. But Shadow, Race and Doc Dog have banded together to give us some thoughts on what categories of cars and specific cars to buy... if or when the economy poops its pants. We also learn that CJ doesn't like 996 911s and that Erik is not a fan of the Senna. Finally, Rich seems to have an obsession over the South Park portrayal of Canadians...
