Before 1912, starting a car meant standing in front of it and pulling on a steel handle while the engine decided whether to cooperate. Sometimes it cooperated. Sometimes it broke your wrist, your jaw, or worse. Doctors had a name for the injury. Insurance companies had a category for it.

Connor McGovern spent nine years as an offensive lineman in the NFL. Before that he was a kid in Fargo getting into his dad's truck at five in the morning to go look at potato fields. He's back in those fields now, running one of the largest commercial farming operations in the country, and his garage holds two R34 GTRs, an RWB, a Kelly-Moss 964, and a C8 Z06.Check out Reborn here.Support Overcrest by signing up for the Driving Team!

Clay Croft is the founder of Expedition Overland — seventeen years of driving to the edges of the map and filming what's out there. He's crossed the Greenland ice sheet, run the Road of Bones through Siberia, and this year closed out a circumnavigation of the globe the hard way: top to bottom, the roof of Norway to the southern tip of Africa, 25,000 miles across three continents on a single oil change. We had him on to talk about exploration — how you work your way up to something that size, what the world is really like past the places people warn you about, and whether there's anything left out there to find.Find more xOverland here:https://loveofdriving.mobil.com/aroundtheworldSupport this podcast:https://www.patreon.com/overcrest
