(NSFW!) Welcome to the first new CAMcast of the year! We were a man down, but Mike and Zack handled it admirably… Sort of.
The guys talk about Carlos Ghosn’s wild escape from prosecution in Japan, how our Patrons would escape foreign incarceration, new cars coming this decade, and what you’re looking forward to in the next 10 years!
We also touch on all but 1 Lamborghini getting disqualified from Roar qualifying, answer a phone call, and make one to an upcoming guest!
As we all know, fires are ravaging Australia. Here are a bunch of ways you can help out.
We’ve got a Patreon, and you should really become a Patron and help us keep making awesome content for you!
Are you ready to hear a thing that you could also see? WELL GOOD NEWS! We recorded this as we did our first Patreon/Shenanigans live stream, and you can feel the growing pains. In between those pains, we talk about the Cybertruck, C8 ZR1 rumors, GM suing FCA as FCA tries to merge with Peugeot, another 300hp Toyota, the DTM x Super GT Dream Race, and things we’re thankful for!

Well, as it turns out you CAN drift a Tesla Model S. It just can’t be any of the D models, because they spin all four wheels. But we’ll get to that in a minute.
Jake, the excitable idiot man-child with a heart of gold, got out there and drove to the limit of his abilities… and then tried to keep going past those limits.
He smacked the ass end of his Corvette into a barrier, ripped up the quarter panel, and managed to fold it in on itself. This was a hilarious sight, one we immortalized on our Instagram page, but a sight that necessitated someone to remedy it.
Enter Stu, and his drill! He came through, drilled some holes in Jake’s quarter panel, and zip-tie stitched it back together.
Bobby and some of the Cedar City boys made their way up, and showed off some of the steez they’ve got down there.
And there was whoever the hell this was. Some dude in a 370Z with Wisefab, just came out and slayed. Shoutout to you, unknown Z driver.
I told you we’d get back to Stucky in the blender. Anyway, here’s a gallery. We’ll be back at the next one!
Mike, Dave, Zack, and Pizza Dad get their minds blown by Brandon McConkey’s crazy ass stories. Columbia, the UAE, super cars, race cars,and strippers from The Waffle House. It’s all in here, and it’s crazier than this description can convey.

As I talked about in the Cars N Copters coverage post, more happened to make it an interesting trip. This is that story.
Being that I wanted to have a fun car after flying into Long Beach, I wanted to get something that will fit in with all the PCH Bentley’s and Ferrari’s, but on a Buick budget. That led to a Polaris Slingshot on Turo. The price was right, and despite not being too fast, the fun factor is high. I had fun…for 3 hours…
Tommy picked me up from the airport at 8am, I went and picked up the Slingshot before we headed over to Lamborghini Newport Beach for their get together. We saw some great vehicles and headed out. Wanting to get one last look, we drove by the show again and were greeted by a Costa Mesa motorcycle police vehicle with it’s lights flashing.
Pulling into a parking lot, the police officer took my license and the supplemental insurance provided through Turo. He came back shortly after to tell me how wrong I am for not having a helmet in a motorcycle(which the Slingshot technically is), how the vehicle isn’t registered, there’s no insurance according to the DMV, and that he would be impounding the vehicle and assessing over $1000 in fines!
Obviously not how my trip was intended, especially since I was really looking forward to my time behind the wheel of this thing, I was smiling ear-to-ear up until that point. All my research beforehand said not to worry about a helmet because the Slingshot has seat belts and a roll bar.
Fortunately, the officer assessed the fines to owner of the vehicle, and not me, because my cheap Turo rental would have gone quite over budget. Finally getting ahold of the owner as his Slingshot was being loaded onto a flatbed, he was very nonchalant. He apologized profusely and mentioned the only vehicle he had available to rent to me was a C7 Corvette Convertible…with an automatic…
I was hesitant and thought long and hard about just getting my money back and riding in Tommy’s Honda Element over the weekend. Then I relented and met up with him to get the keys to the Corvette. I am glad that I did.
This Corvette had 27,000 miles of rental use, and Corvette’s aren’t known for high quality interiors. The C7 tried to change this reputation, and if this made me nod in agreement. No squeaks, no rattles, just pure speed! I’ve driven a C6 Z06 on several occasions, this felt faster! This was just a C7 Stingray, with an 8-Speed auto. Surely it can’t be this good. After about 400 miles in canyons, the PCH, and multiple people asking about the car and asking for pictures, I am a believer. I’m happy about my misfortune despite really wanting more time with the Slingshot. And now I can say I have had a car impounded.

Write-up coming… Eventually? In the meantime, here are the photos from Sunday. Enjoy the gallery, buy stuff so I can keep coming out and covering the races (also so I can replace the pants I ripped hopping fences this last round), and stay tuned for the write-up.
Hello, and welcome to another episode of the CAMcast! This week we have the entire crew in for some of the episode, but we still bring some news, opinions, and an unhinged rant or two. We talk everything from the Rolex 24 at Daytona to how we’d change and enforce emissions standards. It’s quite the episode.
