Bring a Trailer Podcast

Alex and Randy issue quick non-sequitur opinions on the Dekon Monza and an appealingly basic Fairlane before launching into a recap of the recent Curated Cars & Coffee event in The Netherlands. They then launch into the main event: Randy's subsequent five-country journey through the Alps to  Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on Lake Como in his newly acquired 356A coupe, father (and lucky birthday boy) in tow. It's all there: countless hairpins in the passes, attempts to keep up with a Gullwing, windscreen wiper rationing, a thousand miles in Speedster seats, the Goldfinger Rolls, an impressive Bentley, and a hair-raising sprint to Munich on the Autobahn to cap it all off.

We're trying something new this week: a guest video episode from another podcast we know and love.

Alex and Tyler parse the intricacies of San Francisco weather and Ducati sport tourers before delving into the topic of the day: the recent Quail MotoFest at which BaT held our third annual motorcycle gathering. They cover Bimotas, Pops Yoshimura, Troy Lee's passion for his work, the mercifully reasonable weather in Carmel Valley, developing bonds with our motorcycle sellers, and the dedicated team of specialists at BaT.

Alex and road/track/circle/oval racer extraordinaire, dirt bike fan, dealership principal, and shrewd investor Boris Said talk about the life lessons and big breaks that led him from an early life of crime to one of the most widely varied racing careers of anyone on the planet. They cover Said's (very) early days as a car dealer, his sudden decision to go motor racing after reluctantly attending an F1 race in Detroit, a free-for-all on the Nurburgring, the greatest thing about NASCAR, his various on- and off-track business ventures, and the art of enjoying oneself.

One Year is back! Randy, Alex, Zac, and Beck get into it for 1972. They set the stage with happenings in the arts and on track, display their ignorance of the modern STP product line, and engage in vocab-related self reflection before descending into a pitched battle to see who can leave out the most obvious Italian GT cars!

Alex, Zac, and Beck get together to lick self-inflicted wounds; take a charmingly pessimistic view of what constitutes middle age; discuss how having a family influences one's driving style; compare the safety of a GT3 vs a handgun; talk about the changing tastes and time constraints associated with aging; equate driving in the Bay Area to driving on track; reveal the perception of a sports car in NYC versus California; wait for the vintage Fast & Furious style to come back around; and give a sad update on Leno's Law. The trio move on to an in-depth discussion about submissions and then address some great listener feedback from the last couple of episodes.

Randy and Alex bring on special guest and podcast newcomer Robbie Pyle, the Curation Manager for BaT (if you've never met Robbie, you must not hang out at California car events enough). They reminisce about the first local rallies and driving events that really got them hooked and enmeshed with the car community, and talk about how important it is to get out and use an old car with people who share your love of them. They discuss a number of California driving events both accessible and rarified, and close by deciding on their ideal fantasy entries for the Mille Miglia or Cal Mille, reliving a gorgeous downpour in Sonoma, and fondly remembering parking the very first BaT "company car" around San Francisco.

In episode 118 of the BaT Podcast, Alex, Randy, and Howard go over a brief event recap; a Saab record holder; the "full mileage discount"; how much raw performance can be had for under (or well under) $40k; scary prospects from the likes of AMG and Aston Martin; the ideal four-Porsche driveway for value seekers; and what's in store for the first-year Bentayga.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!).

Their wide-ranging efforts and services include government agency relations, business development, market research, product labs, navigating vehicle modifications and emissions compliance, providing a library of OEM CAD files for accurate product design, and consulting on the impact of modifications on advanced driver assistance systems. Alex and Jim talk about finding new ways to innovate using the breadth of technological advances offered by the modern car industry; a bullish view on EVs as an expansion of the car hobby rather than a replacemebt for it; Jim's own automotive baclground, including work with Ford Racing and names such as Force, McRae, Wallace, and Stewart; SEMA Cares charity efforts; and his absolute favorite thing: a collection of charming crapcans.

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!

In episode 98 of the BaT Podcast, Alex heads to the downtown LA Arts District to talk Porsches and eclectic tastes with none other than Magnus Walker, who just happens to be well known in both arenas. The conversation includes appreciation for Alex's (soon to be for sale) NSX; the amazing live/work/play studio that Walker's media operations and collection call home; his early exposure to the car scene in and around Sheffield, land of fine stainless steel; a $200 1977 Corolla coupe as his first car in LA, and his modern quest to find another; acquiring his first-ever Porsche at the Pomona Swap Meet in 1992, famously kicking off a spree that has continued for 32 years and counting; building a collection when Porsches were affordable used cars for enthusiasts; the differences, or absence thereof, between a 901 and an early 911; the evolution of the 930 Turbo; the relative merits of every RS; non-Porsche marques that scratch an itch, including some surprising picks and a little dabbling in Lotus-land; his recently released project as a design consultant for Tom Walkinshaw Racing with Khyzyl Saleem; his respect for Jay Leno as a car enthusiast; and the best places to soak up inspiration.

In episode 97 of the BaT Podcast, Alex, Zac, and Randy talk about the car- and BaT-related things that make them happy. Alternating between tongue-in-cheek and heartfelt, the wide-ranging discussion covers the merits of the first-gen Panamera; the curious state of the modern movie industry; a healthy dose of Batman (note the solo cap); discovering the I-5 rally stage out of Grapevine, California; defending the tall gearing of the five-speed NSX; a heretofore unknown appreciation of the donk (that's with a "k," folks, don't get too excited); turbo cars masquerading as N/A cars; revisiting prewar daily drivers; the various ways in which a vintage BMW might set itself alight; the joy of knowing a reliable mechanic for one's unreliable car; track time in a haggard Ferrari; a little back-patting; the struggles of Chrysler, timeline debatable; the upcoming Jaguar brand redesign; T-top desires; a hard, if unscientific, look at modern car enthusiasm; an appeal for updates on what people are doing with their BaT purchases; some thanks thrown to your humble podcast servant; a controversial wheel choice; and some Thanksgiving motherly love.

In episode 95 of the BaT Podcast, Alex and Zac welcome podcast newcomer and BaT stalwart, the one and only Patrick Trautfield, to join them for the latest round of The One-Year Garage. This time, it's 1984—a more difficult field on which to play than any of the trio imagined, but fertile ground nonetheless. Topics include a heretofore unknown first BaT Podcast attempt in 2017; the first-gen Toyota Camry Solara, that relatively agreeable precursor to one of the worst-looking cars ever made; much-delayed impressions from Luft 10; the shocking and completely unexpected realities of Ferrari ownership; overly generous definitions of "family hauler"; #vanagonlife;  a Toyota trifecta; and a rowdy theme for the wild cards of the era.

In episode 94 of the BaT Podcast, Alex, Randy and Zac shoot the breeze (but not the fish) about: Corona vs Cordoba, a rosier view of the current state of the market, Carrera RS colors, the dread question: "Is it real?", anti-stripe contrarianism, and searching by Lot Number, capping things off with a rambling exploration through our leaders' highly eclectic watchlists. They move on to display their collective, uncanny ability for remembering specific details from a huge list of movie cars (both stars and extras), dissect "ground effects," point out flawed car casting, and intentionally leave Eleanor out in the cold.

Alex and Zac are joined once again by BaT moto guru Tyler Greenblatt to discuss the intricacies of lane-splitting laws (or the absence thereof) in California; the ongoing resurgence of vintage Easy Rider-inspired Harleys with ape hangers; improper bike appearances in movies; rude stereotypes wry observations about BMW riders; the staying power of the vintage Honda minibike in our marketplace; groundbreaking early moto tech; Zac's aspiration to be the youngest person ever to go on a cross-country road trip on a Goldwing; a closet appreciation for the cash-guzzling Rune; the wisdom of sustained autobahn speeds in the US; and the secret talents and charisma of a Triumph triple. Tyler blows Alex's mind with a Cam Count before the trio moves on to play a New Game: blazing through all manner of performance bikes from the last 25 years.

In episode 88 of the BaT Podcast, Alex, Randy, and Zac reunite to lick their respective social media wounds ahead of the third edition of their new favorite game, The One-Year Garage. This time, the year is 1956 and Howard kicks it off with an easy theft from Randy, who maintains that shoving one's children through uncomfortable spaces is much cooler than granting them their own doors and goes on to expound further on his own car-related deficiencies as a father.  They move on to briefly rank the wives of Don Draper and mention Zac's upcoming race weekend in a field of, coincidentally, 56 Spec Miatas. The conversation turns to very special Italian sports cars and shocks Randy with a Porsche transmission revelation. Howard proves that one can make an eye-roll obvious in an audio recording, Randy does his best to describe the ultimate way to drive over a Canada goose, and Alex declares a favorite car of all time. Wild card territory sees Howard singing and declaring his love for Mike Hawthorn, Randy poking fun at our brick-and-mortar compatriots, Zac courting legal trouble with Ferrari, and everyone failing to send a link to the producer. They wrap by barely scratching the surface of honorable mentions for this absolutely stellar year in automotive history.

They talk about her love of cars as a child of the '60s and '70s, stemming in no small part from the split-window Corvette driven by her aptly named second-grade teacher, Miss Passion; keeping an AMC Gremlin trading card for decades until finally acquiring the real thing; starting a Schwinn bicycle restoration business in her mother's townhouse at the age of 12; daily driving an MGB GT for 350k miles; the highly effective, at least for one teenager, automotive product placement in Charlie's Angels; starting out on the auto show circuit at 16; being forced to take Home Ec instead of auto shop in school; the importance of mentoring young people; meeting her husband on a blind date predicated only by their mutual car enthusiasm; her path to her dream job at Michelin; fightin' words about stock vs modified tire sizes; a deep, deep dive into the various ranges of classic tires offered by Michelin; a simplified explanation of the main difference between bias-ply and radial tires; getting into concours judging via her own restored Sunbeam Alpine; tracking her Buell Thunderbolt; and skipping right to the top of the 964 heap.

Alex, Randy, and Zac bring New Blood into the New Game. Howard joins the crew after an extended hiatus to recap our largest Monterey Alumni Gathering yet, talking about favorite cars and sandwiches from the event, seeing how "the other guys" do things during Car Week, the ominous sight of too many AMG 6x6s in one place, the continuing search for the perfect Corkscrew shuttle, and two more upcoming BaT events to round out the year. They then move on to the matter at hand: picking the best cars from 1995 in several crucial categories, proceeding to argue about them, and capping them off with a veritable host of honorable mentions.

The One-Year Garage requires them to pick one car from a certain model year for each category: Sports Car, Family Hauler, Truck/4x4, Daily Driver, and Wild Card. They make up the rules as they go along, and along the way discuss local trivia about The Graduate; a two-tone requirement for Randy's future car collection; whether it's necessary to remember the names of one's offspring; dieting to fit in your diminutive daily driver; a little-known fact about the '67 Mustang; an episode-long argument [you're both right! -Ed.]; a heated debate about what constitutes a sports car [you're all right! -Ed.]; how said definition relates to the owner's heart health; and the undying question, "how wild is wild?"

Alex and Randy sat down back in February with legends (there's really no other way to put it) of the vintage Porsche world, Vic and Barbara Skirmants of 356 Enterprises. They discussed the reasoning behind buying the same car three times, all for more money than the last; Vic starting out with a '58 coupe in 1963; getting into racing via flag duty at Waterford Hills in Michigan; "meeting" each other at Mid-Ohio in 1988; their mutual lengthy histories driving and crewing at races for decades; the 2022 repurchasing of Barbara's Sunbeam Tiger, first bought by her in 1969; matching owners with the long-lost original transmissions for their cars; the dying art of ring and pinion setup; sticking with what matters in listing photos and videos; the advantages of a country life with everything paid for; the highs and lows of paddock setup at the race track; two cents, or possibly more, about Rennsport; remaking vintage transaxle parts to keep special cars on the road; owning not one, but two Gmund coupes in the '70s, one of which was sold to Miles Collier; and Vic's early days as a refugee from World War II Latvia.

Please excuse the audio quality in this episode; we experienced some technical difficulties which have since been resolved.
