Jim and Meghann get into how often people should be retested for their driving license, whether car dealers who sell cars on credit should be able to cut off the car if people get behind on payments, and the latest ridiculous behavior from the MTV reality show known as the NASCAR shore.

The Ford GT! Is it a fraud? Should we be angry? What am I supposed to do with this torch and pitchfork? Aw dangit my pitchfork's on fire.
Also this week we are proud to present an interview with Kevin Patrick, founder of Exomotive, at Exomotive HQ. Exomotive, of course, are the makers of the Exocet kit that Meghann and Jim built.

Meghann and I got a chance to drive a new Subaru Outback owned by her parents. It yelled at us. The car yelled at us.
Our guests are the Doyles, Lonnie and Adam, from Texas, who build the DF Goblin kit car: http://dfkitcar.com
It's a super cool mid-engine rear-drive kit car which uses the Chevrolet Cobalt as a donor. We want one. Bad.

Also, we recap our race at Barber Motorsports Park with 24 Hours of LeMons, in which Jim has beef with Randy Pobst, and we do a lot more wrenching than driving.

Plus, WRC Monte Carlo, horse racing rally style, and Meghann and Jim go over a press release from Mazda Racing about how Mazda treats their Rolex 24 drivers before, during, and after their stints in a race car. Some of it sounds a little bit weird.
