The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus, VW Amarok, and the Ford Ranger!
Slip behind the wheel of luxury as we explore the redesigned 2025 Lincoln Nautilus, a midsize SUV that's redefining automotive elegance. From the moment you lay eyes on its symmetrical wheel openings and sophisticated body sculpting to the Black Label grille adorned with chrome star-like dots, this vehicle demands attention for all the right reasons. The true revelation happens inside the cabin, where Lincoln has implemented a revolutionary door-to-door digital display that spans the entire dashboard. This stunning technological achievement, paired with adjustable massage seating and premium materials throughout, creates an interior experience that left our reviewers speechless. Despite being assembled in Hangzhou, China, the Nautilus maintains its distinctly American luxury character with a smooth, comfortable ride that makes every journey a pleasure. Powered by a capable 2-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder delivering 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, the Nautilus balances p…

Luxury Pop-Up: Test Drive Your Dream Car
Luxury car enthusiasts, mark your calendars! We're joined by RoShelle Salinas to reveal an exciting pop-up luxury ride and drive event happening May 9-10 at The Revere venue near Old Katy Road and 610.

Cruising with Classics: Inside the Hot Rod Tour of Texas
What happens when 300+ hot rods descend upon Houston's best-kept secret? We found out when the Hot Rod Tour of Texas rolled into Spindle Tap Brewery, transforming this hidden north Houston gem into a classic car paradise. Bobby Sparkman, the mastermind behind the tour, shared with us how the journey began with 302 vehicles cruising across Texas. Though a few participants encountered mechanical challenges along the way—including one enthusiast who decided that blowing a transmission was the perfect excuse for an upgrade—the spirit of the tour remained undiminished with over 200 hot rods continuing the adventure. The real discovery of our broadcast was Spindle Tap Brewery itself. Elizabeth Valentine, their Marketing and Events Manager, pulled back the curtain on this nine-year-old establishment that's far more than just a place to grab a craft beer. Sprawling across 3.5 acres, this family-friendly venue offers everything from putt-putt golf to cornhole tournaments, multiple music stag…

The Hot Rod Tour Takes Texas: Adventures on the Road
Take a ride with us as we catch up with the Hot Rod Tour of Texas at Spindletap Brewery on Houston's north side. What started four years ago as a modest gathering has evolved into a 300-car caravan of classic automobiles winding through the scenic back roads of the Lone Star State. Tour organizer Jeremy reveals the behind-the-scenes efforts that make this automotive adventure possible – months of scouting routes, coordinating police escorts, and finding unique venues that can accommodate hundreds of vintage vehicles. The tour deliberately avoids highways and toll roads, instead taking participants through charming small towns where children line up outside schools to wave at the procession of rumbling engines. The heart of the Hot Rod Tour isn't just about the impressive machinery – it's about the community that forms when car enthusiasts share the open road. When a breakdown occurs, multiple vehicles pull over to help. One participant even brought a trailer specifically to assist a…

American Cars vs. Foreign Cars: The Battle for Your Garage
The great automotive debate of our time isn't just about horsepower or fuel economy—it's about where your car comes from. We dive deep into the fascinating world of American versus foreign automobiles, challenging preconceptions and revealing surprising statistics that might change how you think about your next vehicle purchase. Did you know Tesla assembles more cars in America than any other manufacturer? Or that Nissan builds over half its vehicles on U.S. soil? These revelations only scratch the surface of our conversation about what "American-made" really means in today's globalized manufacturing landscape. We explore how perceptions of quality have evolved since the 1960s and 70s when Japanese manufacturers first made inroads into American markets with reputations for durability that domestic brands couldn't match at the time. The podcast takes a fascinating historical journey through automotive longevity, from an era when cars struggled to reach 100,000 miles to today's vehicl…

Buckle up for a high-octane journey through the heart of Texas as we broadcast live from Spindletap Brewery during the annual Hot Rod Tour! The brewery's industrial-chic atmosphere provides the perfect backdrop for this gathering of automotive enthusiasts, with vintage beauties continuously rolling into the parking lot throughout our show. We kick things off with a comprehensive roundup of the latest automotive recalls that you need to know about. From Audi's e-tron issues to Honda's lighting problems, but the most concerning might be GM's recall of full-size pickups and SUVs from 2021-2024 with the 6.2-liter V8 engines experiencing catastrophic failures. If you own one of these vehicles, this segment alone is worth your time. The heart of our episode features the always entertaining "Hemmings Sold Car Roundup" game, where we guess the selling prices of classic automobiles. You might be surprised to learn what a restored 1960 Corvette C1 convertible or a 1949 Cadillac 62 commands in…

Our special feature takes you behind the scenes in Victoria, Texas, where we chat with Street Manager Kate Garcia about the town's remarkable transformation.

The historic De Leon Plaza now hosts over 800 events annually, including the unique pairing of hot rods and symphony music that kicks off this tour. "Two demographics you would never think would go together go together like peanut butter and jelly," Garcia explains as classic cars and classical music create an unexpectedly perfect harmony.

Cruising at Lupe' Tortilla: Cars, Tacos, and Trophy Winners
The passion behind automotive culture shines brightest when enthusiasts gather to share their stories. At the Tailpipes and Tacos Cruise-In at the Lupe' Tortilla Tex-Mex in Katy, we experienced this firsthand as we awarded our signature Chili Pepper trophies to three remarkable vehicles. Mr. Hoggo's 1932 Ford Highboy stole the show with its masterfully crafted fiberglass body—so convincing that even SoCal Speed Shop experts needed nearly an hour to determine it wasn't metal. Powered by a beastly 640 horsepower 383 stroker engine, this yellow beauty combines old-school aesthetics with modern performance. The most touching moment came when 17-year-old Madden Morgan received his very first trophy for his 1989 Chevy 1500. Built alongside his father, this daily-driven pickup represents exactly what car culture is about—passion passed between generations, creating bonds that last a lifetime. Seeing the pride on both father and son's faces reminded everyone why we gather at events like thi…

The Nomad Chronicles: Inside a Classic '57 Chevy
A lavender 1957 Chevy Nomad steals the spotlight at our Tailpipes and Tacos Cruise Inn broadcast from Lupe' Tortilla Tex-Mex in Katy, Texas. Owner Jim Craven shares his three-year journey with this head-turning classic, detailing what makes a Nomad special beyond just being a two-door station wagon - from the angled window pillars to the nine distinctive grooves on the car's top. Under the hood, this beauty houses a monstrous 502 cubic inch crate motor with dual four-barrel carburetors that, in Jim's words, "will lay rubber in second and third gear." While Jim initially had reservations about the lavender paint when buying sight unseen, it's now the car's most celebrated feature, routinely earning trophies and starting conversations at every show. What resonates most is Jim's refreshing philosophy about classic car ownership. Unlike those who treat vehicles as untouchable museum pieces, he drives his Nomad regularly, believing classics should be enjoyed rather than preserved as "gar…
