Ferrari Goes Electric & the Cars We're Losing | Cars & The People Who Drive Them Ep. 2

Ferrari has gone electric with the Luce, AMG has stuck its badge on an electric GT, and David and Dirk have some polarizing views about whether any of it makes sense. In Episode 2 they revisit the Golf R vs. GR Corolla debate (four real clients ended up buying in), recap a track day where old-school drivers wrestled with modern machinery, and dig into the cars and brands we're quietly losing — from the Cayman GT4 and flat-plane 458 to the Cadillac Blackwing, the Audi five-cylinder, and a Maserati or two. A wide-ranging, honest conversation about heritage, engineering, and where the industry is really heading.

In the debut episode of Cars & The People Who Drive Them, Carsmenskii explores a question every enthusiast feels: why does car culture still matter today?From the analog icons of the 80s and 90s to today’s high-powered, tech-driven performance cars, this conversation looks at what we’ve gained, what we’ve lost, and why the emotional connection between driver and machine still matters.    This episode covers:the golden era of the automobilewhy some modern cars feel less engagingthe rise of driver aids, traction systems, and extreme horsepowerwhy driver education matters more than everhow Cars & Coffee and car communities keep the culture alivewhether cars could one day become the horses of the futurethe brands we’ve lost, the brands we nearly lost, and the icons still worth preserving    From Porsche, Lancia, Audi, Toyota, Mazda, Jaguar, Volkswagen, BMW, Ferrari, McLaren, Corvette, and Lucidto the deeper ideas of identity, freedom, nostalgia, and belonging, this is more than a car conversation. It’s about the people behind the wheel.  For those who believe cars are more than transportation, this podcast is for you.
