Check Engine Podcast

After literally dusting off the microphones, we return to catch you up on all of the exciting car related escapades we've been up to since our karting round table. From flying profanity to exciting vacations to run-ins with local law enforcement, it's been EVENTFUL. Welcome back! We're glad you're here!

WE'RE BACK! AGAIN! After some time away to regroup, the boys make their triumphant return to the podcast world! With us, we have Frank and Frank Giuffre, father and son kart racers with decades of family experience in motorsports of all kinds. We pick their brains on everything from Badger Kart Club to the Milwaukee Mile to the Indy 500. Listen in today!

In this episode, after some quick car news, the boys discuss the final episode of Top Gear/the Grand Tour and the absolutely monumental impact that Top Gear/The Grand Tour has had on us as podcasters, us as "car people", and the overall landscape of car culture and journalism. Prepare for us to get a little sentimental...

After returning from gallivanting around Europe, Tristan returns chock-full of seafaring lingo and burning question. This question he immediately decided to spring upon our other hosts as a kind of lightning round, off the cuff round table session. From there, we carry on to check in on Carlo Ghosen, slingshot around the sad history of Nissan, and then land in a potential preview of next week's episode. Listen today to find out what Tristan's burning question was and let us know your answer! Stick around for a sneak peak of the next episode!

In this episode, the boys discuss Andrew's "Great Car Dilemma of 2024", some surprise Bugattis, and a spirited discussion around our Christmas in July, "We Were Right: Sun's out, Guns Out Edition".
