Overcrest: A Pretty Good Car Podcast

What does a chemist, a nazi, a dentist, and a drag racer all have in common? find out in this episode of Overcrest!  

Its episode 21! The episode where Kris walks out of the studio on Jake. The guys about Kris' new car, and Jake gets new wheels! They talk about the badass 919 LMP1 car Porsche built, and the 956 we hope it goes up against in spirit. The Top Gear test track is in trouble, we take voicemails, Talk video games, Rimac has a new car, we talk a bunch of news, and have a good fight about crossovers, and one of the ugliest cars ever made.  https://jalopnik.com/porsche-has-built-the-most-badass-lmp1-car-and-theyre-1825088394 https://www.mprnews.org/story/2018/04/11/minnesota-issues-plan-for-spending-47m-vw-diesel-settlement https://jalopnik.com/uber-wants-to-be-everything-now-1825181301 https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a19675072/top-gear-test-track-bulldozed/ https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a19713645/the-gr018/

This week we have another 1 on 1. This time, with Luis Fraguada, a long time friend of mine. Looking at the Porsche culture today, its sometimes tough to pick out the bandwagon from the real deal when it comes to enthusiasts. It's not hard to tell with Luis as it's in been on his mind since his earliest childhood memories. We'll take a look at what powers Luis,  some of his history with cars, and touch on some news. He's now the pilot of one of the cleanest, and well-done street and track Porsche 911 GT3's around.   Notes: https://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/a10352263/mercedes-will-quit-dtm-in-2019-to-race-in-formula-e/ https://drivetribe.com/p/the-new-lancia-stratos-is-finally-SFDJnv4kQKqmqx1LCXl4QA?iid=BC4B5pAOTGCgo7ss54AGiA&utm_campaign=main+&utm_medium=fb&utm_source=organic http://www.autonews.com/article/20180319/COPY01/303199964/magna-steyr-will-build-bmw-toyota-sports-cars http://www.autonews.com/article/20180319/RETAIL/180319749/mercedes-subscription-flexperience   Follow us in all the places: https://www.facebook.com/overcrestpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/overcrestpodcast/ http://www.overcrestproductions.com
