The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe whether the car involved in the death of James Dean was cursed. That car was a Porsche. A Porsche 550 Spyder. Following the accident, the vehicle changed hands several times and most hands that touched the vehicle ended up deceased. Was this truly a curse? Or was this a lesson that you shouldn’t use parts from a vehicle that’s been involved in an accident? Alongside that, we ponder the earlier cars we have both owned and car names… All that and more on this episode.
