Watchmaker Cameron Weiss, of Weiss Watch Company, comes by to explain how he built his Mercedes 4x4, why he loves driving his 1959 Beetle, and everything you want to know about watches: how they were made last century, how they make them now, wy some cost as much as a house, and what you should buy if you have $50, or $500,000. It's an incredible kind of engineering that parallels the car world clearly.  Sitting in with us again is Nic Cuarta, of Bee Line Coffee.  Want your question answered?

Our guests today are the hilarious hosts from the new /DRIVE series, "Corbin's Hit Show", Corbin Goodwin and Michael Elterman. They are experts at turning cheap heaps into fast heaps. Their show is about making a cheap, used car as fast as its modern counterpart, using junk yard parts. In their first show they bought a 1984 Mustang SVO and got quite creative with it. Also in this show, Matt talks about travel, and Mustangs. Michael tells the story of bad steering modifications, and Corbin misses his evo.  Want your question answered? Want to watch the live stream, get ad-free podcasts, or exclusive podcasts?

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.
