Al and Mike sit down with Jon Holso. The episode kicks off with current car projects and early memories before diving into the Ford Focus days—first mods, sneaking past dad, and the moment European styling and deep‑cut modifications took over, complete with the infamous sticker.
They move into the Mazda 6 era with manual‑trans fun, air‑ride experiments, and the car’s eventual send‑off. From there, the conversation shifts into turbo power with the GTI, the jump to the Arteon, and the tuning addiction that followed. The guys explore the charm of Kei‑trucks, their utility, and the Home Depot adventures that come with owning one.
Things get sentimental with the restoration of a beloved Ford Ranger, followed by stories of Subaru Loyale, Volvo 264s, and Detroit’s unique car scene. The episode wraps with reflections on sports, family, and how automotive passion evolves over a lifetime.

EP #033 Dan Sawyer 180 KM/H
Al and Mike welcome guest Dan Sawyer for a wild ride through car culture, personal chaos, and decades of automotive stories. The episode kicks off with softball championship drama and hybrid‑car headaches before shifting into AWE Touring exhaust impressions, and Mike’s escape from a brutal Honda Civic crash.
Dan breaks down his journey through 26 different cars, from spray‑painted wheels and a roofied 21st birthday to Manchester nightlife and vintage audio setups. The crew dives into restoring a South Carolina E46, Dan’s JDM era with the 240SX and STI, and the 350Z, WRX, and Silverado gas‑job saga. They revisit Mk5 R32 memories, H2O chaos, and multiple accidents that shaped Dan’s automotive life.
Things escalate with hockey‑puck fixes, reckless passenger stories, unforgettable street races, and New England car‑meet culture. The episode wraps with Dan’s arrest for reckless operation in a GTR, reflections on longevity in car culture, new business ventures, and a final look back at the massive car list that defined his journey.

EP #032 Ethan McCammon MK2 - Uhh I Love My Automatic 2 Liter
Al, Dan, Mike and Ethan kick off the episode with fresh car updates and a warm welcome to guest Ethan McCammon. Things start with Al's attempted Mk3 import and the hard‑learned lessons in due diligence, followed by stories of learning mechanics the old‑school way with Mk2s and junkyard treasure hunting.
Ethan walks through his career path, school experience, and time at EFI Motorsport before the crew dives into a chaotic diesel Rabbit drive to the Unity show. They get into the charm of “automatic 2‑liter” Mk3s, CIS systems, and the passion that keeps the Mk2 community alive.
The conversation expands into engine swaps, Mk4 reliability, rare Golf models, and the thrill of driving a G60 Rally. Ethan shares his Capri Green Mk2 rallycross build, winter prep with ice‑racing setups, and Audi B3 adventures. Things wrap with Hot Wheels collecting, wheel restoration, and a laid‑back outro to close out the episode.
