Well we are back after a bit of a break. This is a second crack at Andrew reporting on his Japan trip. Good news, this was probably better than the original anyway. If it sounds different, it's because we went old school AOT and recorded it directly into the old trusty H4N. After Andrew's Japan recap we touch on a few project car updates. Thanks for hanging in there folks.

Wooo, That's some gas fumes. Andrew accidentally stinks up his house with gas for this episode. We got some project car updates on the Volvo and Brad's Corolla. NASCAR makes it's return for the season to Bowman-Gray stadium for a super fun race and we discuss how Monster Energy livery cars bring big Kyle energy.
We are really pumped that motorsport season is back. We recap last weekend's Rolex 24 and Rally Monte Carlo. We discuss the upcoming NASCAR clash and the sort of odd broadcast choices for NASCAR this season. This is all after some quick project car updates and rant about expensive things in car culture. We are not fans of enthusiasts being priced out of the hobby.
