Alex and Beck review some recent highlights on BaT including a pair of record-breaking 206 Dinos, an understated Singer, a fascinating NSX result, and more. They discuss big news for Big Willow, Leno's Law, vintage SoCal fast food chains, percolating race car tech, the design legacy of the GT40, the backwards baseball cap in automotive form, and the ideal color for a 2002 Turbo before wrapping up by waxing poetic about Palm Springs car culture.Follow along!

Alex and Maurice Merrick, creator and host of the always-fascinating Horsepower Heritage podcast, talk at BaT HQ about disappearing Mazdas, the most dangerous Super Beetle, a Series Land Rover addiction, automotive first right of refusal, vintage motorcycle personalities, and Napoleonic steam-powered artillery tractors before moving on to a new take on everyone's favorite game with a focus on Chevrolets from the 1960s.Follow along!

Alex and Matt Farah, he of The Smoking Tire, two Westside Classic Car Storage facilities, and an enviable place on the Road & Track masthead, sit down in Farah's own TST studio to talk about what 166 trucks' worth of concrete will get you; the sobering math of car storage in the city; his lack of interest in world domination; why he still makes video content; the highest job title one can attain before things stop being fun; the ideal city plan for car people; the joys of an elevated appliance; an appreciation for his wife's Pao; appropriate vehicles for EV conversion; supercar patronage; the worst part of owning a DeLorean; taking all of half an inch; a literal barrier to entry in a Lamborghini; and an unlikely presidential ticket.Follow along!

We're giving Alex and the guys the week off for the first time since restarting the BaT podcast in January 2024. This week, we serve you a reheated and much-better-sounding version of Alex's February 2024 interview with the one-and-only, the legendary, the beloved, Peter Egan—he of Side Glances in Road & Track, of countless harebrained-slash-inspirational road trips, of April Fools road tests, and of so much more. This is the man that so many of us at BaT and beyond like to think we've fashioned ourselves after; a modest and humble writer who, perhaps unknowingly, has played a formative role in our addictions to the great machinery of the world, the call of the open road, and the treasures to be found when these things are combined.Peter sat down with Alex over a year ago in his erstwhile stomping grounds of coastal Orange County, California, to discuss his career and the cars, bikes, planes, people, and places it was formed around. They cover his entry into journalism via Cycle World; the power of an interesting car, or a Piper Cub, to make friends out of strangers in faraway lands; the social advantages of touring the country in someone else's Ferrari; a memorable hometown show with Chuck Berry and Billy Peek, caught on happenstance; getting a glimpse of the Old Man at Fiorano; the art of (somewhat) feigning ignorance; getting locked into the Morgan factory at Malvern; sharing the last Everest flight of the season with Neil Sedaka, and only Neil Sedaka; whether Egan's next project will be a 76-year-old British sports car or a 27-year-old Italian superbike; and how Barb has stuck with him come fire and come rain (yes, Barb really is that great).Links for titles/listings discussed in this episode:The Ex-Peter Egan 1967 Jaguar XKE Coupe that was auctioned in 2019 with 335 comments—including one from the man himself, which gathered quite possibly the most thumbs-up a single comment has ever received on BaTTom Cotter's Cobra storyEgan's archive at the Road & Track website (may require a membership subscription)A variety of Egan's writing collections available for purchase (we highly recommend picking up every last one of them)Got suggestions for our next guest from the BaT community or One Year Garage episode?

Alex and Beck spend some time catching up before moving on to a favorite subject at BaT: why we write the way we do. Topics range from the joys of using a vehicle for what it's for, the Sierra, the ski resort duopoly, transportation conundrums, Porsche shop updates, NSX pipe dreams, the true cost of the ultimate BaT photo gallery, and open bars at school auctions. Then, to the meat of the matter: fluffy marketing phrases we don't use at BaT, and why. They discuss the power of saying "I don't know," paint meter usage, the "squishy" terms of the car world, how the listing process works behind the scenes,  the ethics and the judgment that define BaT style, and why transparency from the start is always the best idea.Follow along!

Randy sits down with Ford Motor Company's own Jim Farley, otherwise known as fordman21 in the BaT community, for a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion. Jim generously takes the time to talk about how his early experiences led to a lifetime of flipping cars; his own podcast, DRIVE with Jim Farley; an unexpected and, one supposes, uncommon skill for a Big Three CEO; getting yelled at by a Formula 1 World Champion; the dangers of working in one's hobby; details about his social relationship with BaT; free product advice; connecting with other people over a shared passion; insights into the early days of Lexus; the emotional rollercoaster of sports car production; sage decision-making advice; predictions about the role of AI in the manufacturing process; a formative moment involving Phil Hill and a recalcitrant Gullwing; using his Pantera to stress out his security detail and keep the local Harbor Freight in business; and a heartfelt plea to competing BaT bidders. Follow along!

Alex invites Randy and Beck to talk room temperature issues, debate pronunciation of co-opted brand names, give a sneak peek at upcoming BaT events, discuss complicated child transport scenarios, hit a collective mental block about French motorcycles, lament the spreading of sacred regional fast food chains, ponder the RUFiest RUF, court rage on Instagram, and rue over-racing street cars. They continue with stopping the scroll and nerding out about blimps, and cap it all off by teasing next week's very exciting podcast guest!Follow along!

A new combination of combatants sits down to list out their preferred rides if it were 26 years ago. Alex, Zac, and Beck get in an early dig at the wholly innocent 318ti before discussing their first cars; Zac's real post-high-school destiny; the true meaning of 99; a boy band faux pas; Zac's yuppie destiny; important weight calculations for C5 Corvettes; and the last two pretty Ferraris. Alex, shockingly, comes up with an unpopular opinion about a BMW, but the rest of the crew can agree on the best location for any post-E90 chassis M3.Follow along!

The team is fresh back from the BaT Meet-Up with OTTO B&BS in Arizona, followed by a whirlwind trip to France for Retromobile. They cover impressions of the various sales techniques at both; Alex's new body art; the wide variety of cars and people at our Arizona event; fascination with a 5:30am rock band; Zac asking hard questions; a quick Hemi lesson; the curious but true geographical reality of Scottsdale; high-mile rental cars; an evergreen silver NSX; reflections on the European car scene, including the most memorable cars and falling walls at Retromobile; and a French love affair with of all things, an Olds Toronado.Follow along!

In episode 107 of the BaT Podcast, Randy speaks with Todd Zuercher and Andrew Norton about their mutual love, the classic racing Bronco. They discuss the archaic days of the Early Bronco on the Early Internet, applying learnings from the SAAC to Baja Broncos, the value of staying in touch with someone you don't like for the sake of acquiring their special vehicle, taking damage in vintage iron, an entreaty to NORRA, the frustration of procuring period-appropriate offroad tires,  backcountry exploration, and an overdue move toward sanity in the vintage Bronco market.

In episode 106 of the BaT Podcast, Alex and Randy are joined by previous guest (but One-Year Garage first-timer) Beck Deifenbach, BaT White Glove Manager, to focus on the year 2006. They discuss "Peak Analog" or even "the '60s of our generation," if you ask those from a certain generation, as well as the death of iDrive, hot times at Buttonwillow, the best value ratio at the movies,  the sadness of grayscale German cars,  and salamanders. The rules are argued and perhaps stretched, a remarkeable level of cohesion is reached on several picks, and a truly baffling choice is surfaced. A brief foray into ALMS yields many a theory about BMW V8s, and week-late predictions are floated about what will/would show up at our event in Scottsdale, Arizona this/last weekend (note: no Smart Roadsters were there, but the 308 GT2 most certainly was!).

We reflect on the whirlwind that was 2024 at BaT. There's a temporal argument leading up to an extended plug for our upcoming event at Otto Car Club during Arizona Car week; excitement for Retromobile in Paris; what everyone got up to over the holidays; teaching kids the highs and lows about old trucks in the snow; the most popular makes, models, and production years of 2024; bad poker habits; bad auction timing for a hi-po Benz; a brief and very angular flash in the pan; favorite listings from the past year; values to be had in the 1950s Italian market; our greatly improved listing turnaround times; our professional goals for 2025; and a new role for Randy.

In Episode 102 of the BaT Podcast: Sports Car Market Editor and Publisher, Keith Martin (BaT username: 330america), talks about his wildly varying career arc; formative times on a tractor in Novato; vintage Volvos; a $30 Bugeye as a first car (and one uniquely suited to the utility paths at Golden Gate Park); being driven into the arms of Alfa Romeo by a prototypical experience in an MGA; one of many tough aspects of recovery from a stroke; Sportomatic stories; Alfa SS hot-rodding tips; going "skinny" after years of fat tires; perhaps the least likely use of a dance degree from Juilliard; what counted as a "classic" car in 1968; vintage page layout software; the "secret sauce" of SCM, then and now; doing old car things in new cars, and vice versa; the current structure of the magazine and a plug for subscriptions; the most loving use of the terms "troll" and "reeducation program"; the importance of adhering to one's standards no matter how times change; one inescapable truth about any car collection; and absolute faith in the next generation's love for cars.

In Episode 101 of the BaT Podcast, Alex sits down with multidsiciplinary racing legend Tommy Kendall to discuss the dangers of the BaT Daily Mail; an argument for the '74 Carrera as the first Southern California SUV; a fortuitous version of the classic "someone else's race car/boat/RV" story; his particularly well-timed upbringing by an enthusiastic new racer; coming up in karting and Formula Mazda; meeting compatriot Max Jones; the eye-watering costs of going racing in the early '80s; the value of a Showroom Stock education; his stewardship of the winningest IMSA car in history (with many of said wins coming with him at the wheel); a two-hour peripheral-port rotary rebuild under duress; water-cooled brake calipers; an untimely realization concerning NASCAR brakes at Willow Springs; nascent Chili Bowl plans; his move into commentatorship through no effort of his own; sage advice for anyone pushing the boundaries; a predilection for giant American land yachts, including but not limited to those masquerading as chickens; and their mutual affection for gold-flake Sanger powerboats.

Through fits and starts, tech woes and the sweet serenade of the motorcycle shop next door, we somehow made to episode 100 of the BaT Podcast! The crew takes the opportunity to look back on our first abortive attempt in 2017; how office culture has pervaded the podcast throughout the years; Howard's biggest gaff with a ghost CEO; the joy of grilling beloved members of the BaT community; lies about Mustangs; authenticity, for better or for worse; overcoming technological woes; pats on the back all around; getting through TSA checkpoints while armed with mics and cables, increasing our fanbase one person at a time; bets on the current most rapidly depreciating new car (a rapidly decreasing amount of) money can buy. The quartet take a break to talk myriad recent listings of note, give yours truly resume advice, and end with a brief preview of episodes to come–stay tuned! Follow along!

They cover his early discovery of fellow enthusiasts at BaT; car collecting in the DNA; being born on the perfect day in history; his start as a corner paper boy; flipping and racing motorcycles while in college at Berkeley; buying his first Porsche via European Delivery in 1961; his "first, fastest, or prettiest" collection mentality; a predilection for race cars built by hot rodders; his lifetime of Cobra ownership, leading to acquisition of the very first production example; memories from 1960s Lake Tahoe, including the 327-powered Gullwing he picked up from the back of a wooden boat shop; watching out for "air cars"; his deep involvement as founding chairman of the Petersen Automotive Museum; and his love of the LA lowrider community.
