  • Peter Egan, Remastered
    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).Links for titles/listings discussed in this episode:The Ex-Peter Egan 1967 Jaguar XKE Coupe that was auctioned in 2019 with 335 comments—including one from the man himself, which gathered quite possibly the most thumbs-up a single comment has ever received on BaTTom Cotter's Cobra storyEgan's archive at the Road & Track website (may require a membership subscription)A variety of Egan's writing collections available for purchase (we highly recommend picking up every last one of them)Got suggestions for our next guest from the BaT community or One Year Garage episode?

  • We Hate to Say It
    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.Follow along!

  • Ford CEO Jim Farley
    Randy sits down with Ford Motor Company's own Jim Farley, otherwise known as fordman21 in the BaT community, for a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion. Jim generously takes the time to talk about how his early experiences led to a lifetime of flipping cars; his own podcast, DRIVE with Jim Farley; an unexpected and, one supposes, uncommon skill for a Big Three CEO; getting yelled at by a Formula 1 World Champion; the dangers of working in one's hobby; details about his social relationship with BaT; free product advice; connecting with other people over a shared passion; insights into the early days of Lexus; the emotional rollercoaster of sports car production; sage decision-making advice; predictions about the role of AI in the manufacturing process; a formative moment involving Phil Hill and a recalcitrant Gullwing; using his Pantera to stress out his security detail and keep the local Harbor Freight in business; and a heartfelt plea to competing BaT bidders. Follow along!

  • What are we Watching?
    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!Follow along!

  • The One-Year Garage: 1999
    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.Follow along!
