In this episode we talk about the the worst places to drop your pants.
Megan has Covid, Dan has a cold, Nick is still getting over his cold, and so of course we spent all of our time being sick browsing Facebook Marketplace for the coolest cars and other good deals.
This week we have a very special guest — Steve Saleen! Steve joins and talks to us all about the creation of the Saleen brand, Mustangs, the S7, the Bronco, and the upcoming S1!

A lot of people have made a name for themselves in a part of the automotive industry, but R.J. De Vera helped make an entire division of it.
If you're in the PNW, you might know Victoria. From working The Shop to playing at the track to rebuilding her various car projects, she keeps herself pretty busy in the car community in spite of also being a full time student.
Nick is back from his annual trek of working Monterey Car week! Things are changing down there for sure, so if you haven't been to car week you definitely need to get it on your bucket list sooner than later. While Nick was way, Dan was busy installing a new gym and researching the in-and-outs of doubling or even tripling the horsepower on the Honda Monkeys.
On this episode of Shop Talk we discuss the YouTube videos that keep us learning, laughing, and entertained like the true group of ADHD adults we all are.
Dan took a big road trip up through Canada to Sun Peaks, Emerald Lake, Lake Louise, Banff, and Jasper National Parks and we think you should too.

After 2 years of planning and multiple hiccups, we finally took our capable Honda Monkeys to McCall, ID to ride parts of the IDBDR and beyond.

On this fun shop talk episode we talk about upcoming cars on Dan's list, the shop and studio update, tool boxes, and choosing the right trailer for Megan's make believe husband.
This week we speak to the official photographer of Indy, Chris Owens!
Karl makes his 4th appearance on the podcast, which still doesn’t feel like enough times for all his stories.
We have had our fair share of accidents and close calls, but the reality of being permanently disabled by one of them is something we have never had to face. After a severe motorcycle accident, Barry Long found himself permanently paralyzed and facing the reality of life ahead in a wheel chair.
It's a shorter episode this week as we prepped for the Avants Classics on the Green event!
On this shop talk episode Dan, Nick, and Megan discuss sacrilegious engine swaps we would do (like a K24 in Ferrari 308), hauling a long load in your short truck bed, and some safety tips after Nick almost loses his legs while doing some off-road recovery!
We did a poll on the Avants Facebook page on what special tools we might not have but should and several Avants members helped us out! Do you have any of these?
