J Ryan and the Future of Car Meets
J Ryan (along with his wife, Nicole) are the two minds who created the Good Vibes Breakfast Club, a car meet that happens at the top of Angeles Crest Highway every Friday morning. They started going up there during Covid to get away and others began to join them. It's grown to be one of the most respected car gatherings in Southern California.
Closed for many years, Newcomb's Ranch (a restaurant and lodge), has been for sale for a long time. Over the years the price has dropped and J Ryan and Nicole - with the help of some well-heeled friends- is going to become it's new owner and care taker. And boy do they have exciting plans.

Lucid in the Sky with Range Anxiety
Matt Farah and Zack Klapman are returning from an incredible, multi-faceted track day at Sonoma Raceway hosted by Range Energy. While there they got to experience what might be the future of the trucking industry, deploy their Lucid Sapphire's 1,234HP on the road course, slide around in a beautiful BMW 2002, and nearly get to drive a very special Escort before it suffered a problem. And on this very return trip you can listen in real time as they realize they don't have enough charge to get home while answering Patreon questions.
