Tailpipes, Tacos, And Horsepower

Sizzling fajitas, a packed lot, and a sea of chrome set the stage at Tailpipes and Tacos in Katy, Texas, where we dive into the heartbeat of car culture. We welcome Chase Murray to swap NHRA road stories and shine a light on sportsman drag racing—the data-driven, family-powered backbone that rarely gets the headlines but delivers the grit. From pit strategy and shared setups to the Emmons team’s relentless note-taking, we get into how grassroots racers turn budgets and weather notes into round wins.

We switch gears into a practical guide for building a car collection that’s thoughtful and attainable. Theme before impulse, storage before car number two, and a real budget that includes maintenance, insurance, and tires you’ll replace by age rather than wear. You’ll hear why originality and paperwork matter for value, when reversible mods make sense, and how networking at shows unearths the best leads. Whether you’re eyeing underloved driver-quality cars under ten grand or saving up for a single halo piece, a clear wish list beats adrenaline every time.

Rounding it out, we put miles on the 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid. Think all-wheel-drive confidence, a calmer ride, wide door openings, and a tablet-style interface that keeps the tech tidy. The hybrid’s extra power, real-world low-30s mpg, and generous range make it a pragmatic daily that plays well with weekend car life. From kids in remote-controlled Power Wheels to a custom Bronco and a row of originals, the lot proves a simple truth: great car culture includes everyone, and the stories are as important as the specs.
