When a car is fun to drive and fast on track, it doesn't typically stay a secret for long. As a car gets a reputation with enthusiasts, they quickly become more expensive because they are more sought after.With the lack of new fun cars to choose from at a reasonable price for the last couple of years, there has been a lot of focus on cars that are 5 - 10 years old. It can certainly seem like all of the good options have been picked through and are not as affordable as they should be.But are there some good track cars left that everyone has forgotten about?This is the topic of discussion today with Mike Pettiford of Go 4 it Racing.Maybe there are still some diamonds left out there.Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!

As we sat down to record this episode, the 24 Hours of Daytona had just happened, so we start out talking about the race this year. Endurance races like Le Mans, Daytona, and 24hrs of the Nürburgring are getting more popular every year it seems so we talk about the appeal and the challenge of endurance racing. Also Auto Manufacturers have now appealed to the NHTSA for Emergency Braking Systems like Subaru's Eyesight to not be mandatory. Cost is one reason, but we talk about some other reasons that this move might make sense. Here is a link to the article mentioned in the episode: https://www.wired.com/story/emergency-braking-will-save-lives-automakers-want-to-charge-extra-for-it/ If you would like to follow Mike Pettiford and Go 4 It Services and Go 4 It Racing, here is a link to his website: https://www.go4itservices.com/ Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!

Just a few weeks in the 2025, and there has been a flurry of Subaru news. At the Tokyo Auto Salon, the new S210 STI was revealed, but it is based on the WRX S4 and is the first "S" car to use a CVT transmission. How does this compare to the previous "S" series cars? The new 2026 Outback has been leaked, and it is a big change from the current design. The problem is it looks almost exactly like the Forester and Ascent. They all look like very similar SUV's... So what does this tell us about the direction that Subaru is moving for the future? Is there anything for the Subaru Enthusiast to be excited about? Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!
