We’re joined by our friend Nate Lander, from the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in Long Beach, California. Nate, along with his boss—our pal Mike Kunz—have built a truly special place with the Classic Center and a truly essential resource for us Mercedes-Benz fans in the United States. Some of you listening may know Nate from the Colorado Grand—he’s done something like 22 of them—or, maybe you know Nate from the recent (and excellent) four-part series he did with Tyler Hoover on Hoovie’s Garage, where he—and his dachshund, Otto–stole the show. We’ll be doing more with the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in the future, so stay tuned. In the meantime, it’s Nate Lander, and it’s a good one. It’s That Car Show.

Since you’re probably sitting middle seat on a Southwest flight as you listen to this (say hello to Tory…), or, halfway across Nebraska in a Genesis GV70, maybe with a whiny dog and a cranky family in tow, we figure you could use three hours of enthusiast content. First up... our very first That Car Show episode—Oui Oui—which, if our analytics are to be believed, you probably haven’t heard yet. Jeff Bezos’s Key Party, on the other hand, is another early episode that’s a popular favorite. Just make sure you grab the keys with the Porsche fob. And we end on our conversation with Sasha Selipanov, creator of the Nilu 27… a hypercar which is very much having a moment. He’s on Jay Leno’s garage this week. But we had him first. It’s That Car Show. Have a fun and safe Thanksgiving holiday, everyone.

This is an audio-only episode.

This week—better late than never—it’s That Car Show, live from the L.A. Auto Show. Lindsey, Michael and Ryan are joined by Jorge Aquino of Tormenting Tarmac and we hunkered down in a cubicle in the Auto Show media center to bring you this podcast magic. Our show impressions, the best new car reveals and some general automotive shooting of the shit. Plus… we curate a museum exhibition without equal. This was a fun one and it was good to record together in person. Subscribe, rate and review. It’s That Car Show.

This week, it’s a That Car Show crew show and the gang’s all here. Dan survived an off-road trip across the desert from LA to Las Vegas, only to be held captive in a dark tunnel and tortured by one of Elon Musk’s foot soldiers. Lindsey pitches some two-car solutions that somehow don’t involve a Pontiac Aztec and I’m still mad about losing car bingo back in 1986. We fire up the ol’ time-traveling DeLorean, too… this time, to visit the Ford showrooms of yore. What does peak Ford mean to you? I bet you’ll never guess where we end up. And no, it’s not 1908. Do us a favor and make sure that you are subscribed to That Car Show on your platform of choice and take a minute to leave a rating and a review. Tell your friends. Tell your enemies.

Ryan crushes on the GR Corolla and makes time fly in a Diablo. Lindsey dons smart glasses and visits an old Porsche dealership. Dan drives a large American truck to Las Vegas in search of SEMA. All that glitters is gold Subaru paint. Breathe it in... It's That Car Show.
