MOTORCULT EPISODE 39 IS LIVE

On this episode of the MotorCult podcast we start off with Berger’s story of getting hassled by a police officer, who turns out to be a very nice person. Ryan, Jana and Berger discuss if he was actually that nice though.

Berger gives us a preview of Monterey Car Week when he went a week early. Despite being unintentional, he says the days before Car Week are a must see. Berger for possibly the first time, mentions a pre-war car not prompted by Ryan when he describes a Locomobile he saw at Laguna Seca. We prime the audience about what Ryan and Jana will be up to while they’re out there.

In news Ryan covers an incredible barn find story, Brabus makes a 125 HP Smart FourTwo and Bugatti unveils their DiVo.Volkswagen makes cars with colors after the astonishing discovery that people like choices. They expand the color catalog of the Golf R from 3 to 43!

Our Interesting Engineering topic is metric tire sizes, why they existed in the first place and why they went away.

We come to the World Cup of Cars semi-finals with France battling it out against Iran and Japan taking on Sweden for a chance to compete in the final match of the World Cup of Cars.

MOTORCULT EPISODE 37 IS LIVE

On this episode of the MotorCult podcast we discuss Berger’s adventure to Powercruise and Ryan’s adventure to Drive Cartel’s Cars and Crafts event. We discover that if you’re in the show crowd or the race crowd, Minnesota offers some of the best events in the midwest.

Ryan tells us about karma hitting a daily dick driver in his Maserati like a wall, or more literally like a Hyundai immediately followed by a wall. News includes the G29 BMW Z4, Tesla taking the company private once stock hits $420 and Roadkill Nights in Michigan. The Diamler F Cell hydrogen fuel cell vehicle comes up in conversation and we immediately think of how awful the hydrogen infrastructure in America currently is.

As a topic of discussion we ponder good looking but awful to own vehicles and how the ownership experience can spoil the car as a whole.

Finally we get to the World Cup of Cars where Iran’s Zamyad Z24 takes on the best of Russia. The second match up is the best of modern French motoring represented by France’s Renault Aventime versus the best of old French motoring, the Argentinian Pur Sang Bugatti Type 35.
