    We called in to the Hell's Cruise mid drive to get a take on the event and how it's going. While the call was difficult due to signal issues we were able to talk with our friends Mike (MWK shift knobs) Chris (previous episode "boosted brothers") and Max (Subaru Mechanics mod) along with Matt George (previous episode "How to JDM swap a Baja as a beginner").

    We plan on doing a follow up episode to this with all of the michiganders so stay tuned!

  11. Holding the bag - 40's in a bag interview

    Season 1, Episode 62

    Show notes

    After the chaos that ensued after the announcement that Aaron who runs 40's in a bag vintage VW event would be canceling due to lack of interest among other reasons we wanted to talk about it.

    We felt it was important to bring on Khanh who helps all of the Subiefest events run perfectly to help guide us as we dive in on what happened to 40's in a bag and if it can be saved.

    We also decided not to split this episode because it is such an important topic and there is a ton of great stuff packed in!

    So sit down, strap in, and get ready for a wild interview!
