It's a crew show! Matt rode in a terrible Uber and lived to tell the tale. We did 800 miles in the Mach-E to see Bert Kreischer perform at the Mullet Arena in Tempe, AZ so we'll be talking about the drive, BlueCrusie issues, charging, and the show. Then, we respond to the comments on Jonny Lieberman's appearance using some hard numbers about water usage for mining. Plus, Q&A about Panamera vs AMG 63; using EVs in Canada; Camaro Z28 vs SS 1LE; and more! Recorded February 13, 2023 It’s time to bring your wallet into the 21st century.

Andreas Bovensiepen is the CEO of Alpina, the famous company that takes BMWs and turns them into some of the fastest and most exclusive sleepers available. Alpina Automobiles was founded in 1965 by Andreas' father, Burkard Bovensiepen. That company started out in typewriters before moving into textiles and ultimately, building fast cars. We know which we prefer. We ask about how the company started; about his experience working for BMW before going to Alpina; attempting to put a V12 in a Z8; why putting an automatic in a car was a good idea; why racing is important; the reason for reasoning behind those famous 20-spoke wheels; why he bought an NSX; and what he thinks of BMW's new grills.Recorded February 10, 2023 It’s time to bring your wallet into the 21st century.

Podcast at a race track! We are sitting up above the incredible temporary NASCAR track inside the LA Coliseum. 11 months out of the year this is a grass-covered football field but right now it is a tarmac short track with concrete walls, catch fences, and even rumble strips.

Then we do a deep dive on the 911 Dakar; why it's great but most people shouldn't buy it; how country club tracks solve a problem but can create a new one; the best sporty car for arthritis; the best sound-deprivation chamber for $15k; the "end of police stops"; and more. Recorded February 1, 2023 Get your tickets at nascarclash.com or if you can’t make it to the race, be sure to tune in to the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum on Sunday, February 5th at 8:00 PM Eastern on FOX! Head to factormeals.com/tire50 and use code tire50 to get 50% off your first box!  Want your question answered?
