    Acura Nexera Vision Honest Take + Anthem Cars & Coffee w/ Brian Sheehan EP338

    Recording right in the middle of Monterey Car Week 2026, Jhae digs into the massive FOMO hitting from Laguna Seca’s rare Raybrig NSX race cars and the quiet free events most people miss while the influencers chase hypercars. He also gives his honest, unfiltered first take on Acura’s brand-new NEXERA Vision concept — the dual-hinge doors, phantom lighting, and design language that everyone is raving about but he’s still processing. Then Brian Sheehan of Anthem Cars and Coffee returns to talk the growing North Phoenix scene, Anthem Nights, the big Sunday schedule shift, and how the shows have become a real destination for clubs and rallies.
