The Autoholic Podcast The Autoholic

Ryan and Stephen check-in on their progress as they attempt to drive from New York City to California in a few days in his Cayman GTS 4.0. In this episode you find us smack in the middle of Iowa on our second day of travel. Day 1 we made from NYC to Chicago in about 10 hours. On this day, our goal was to make it to somewhere in Nebraska close to the Colorado border. Listen to find out if the two-seater sports car is too much for our ears and bones after the many hours spent on the road each day, as well as our impressions on the states we passed through thus far.

In this week's episode, Ryan and Stephen reflect on prepping their Porsche's for winter and local traffic woes, but mostly catch up on all the cars Ryan drove while abroad! From Corollas and Cupras in New Zealand, to a Kia in the UK, and a D5 Audi A8 in Deutschland. Stephen contributes to the conversation with a digression on his experience driving the last manual VW GTI (a Mk8) in DC.

In a return to Autoholics Anonymous, Ryan and Stephen chat with their buddy Ross to catch up on their latest automotive adventures - including chasing youths away from cars in our driveways, repairing & modifying our Porsches, but most notably a waxing of cammy cars such as a Honda S2000 in California and an early Lotus Elise.

In this episode, Ryan and Stephen are live together in Maine with their friend Mike Venditti (of Motoring Enthusiast)! The three of them recap their trip to Mike's new house, and the local roads of Maine. They ask Mike what makes the ideal sports car to him after last week's debate, and why he chose to have his E60 M5 with him in Maine over his E34 M5. Finally, Ryan and Stephen finally have their two Porsche's together to compare. Listen to find out if they are surprisingly similar, and which of the three cars was the loudest!

The Autoholics are back together in person this week. Driving adventures ensued leading to an enlightening conversation on what makes the ideal sports car. Stephen reflects on his experience in Ryan's ND2 Miata and 982 Cayman which nicely bookend the sports car category.

This week on The Autoholic, Ryan tells us about his first cars & coffee with his 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and becoming a Porsche club member. Stephen briefs him on what it is like to be a member. Ryan and Stephen also have an electrifying conversation about the Polestar 2, after Ryan's experience renting one in Houston. Lastly, Stephen gets on his soap box regarding some recent frustrations on the road - including left lane driving and the etiquette of parking a small car in the city.
