Episode Synopsis

The guys discuss a new segment, "Shit Georg Kacher Says". Then they weigh in on Adams’ trip to Vegas Exotics Raceway and Shelby Museum tour. Steve spots a rather forgettable 1987 Toyota Celica that has become rare-ish.
How could the hot-selling VW Golf have ever been a surprising success story? Insider Bertel Schmitt’s article reveals the truth and we talk about it.
Our special guest Andrew Clark built a 69 Bug into a 330hp turbocharged monster, with the full resto-mod treatment and yet a totally docile looking body. The kickers? He’s 38 and did it all in his garage. Right before he built an off-the-grid Transit Overlander Van and an even offer-the-grid company he built that supplies power over ethernet. Is he really just one person? Find out on today’s episode!
