We answer questions from Instagram, talk drifting, car projects, shop life, and whatever else comes up along the way. Just the crew hanging out, sharing stories, and having a good time.

Karl is back for one more episode before packing up and moving to Georgia. We talk about his decision to leave New Jersey, the nerves that come with starting over, and the questionable road trip he took to get his car down south. Kris and Jesus join in, and things quickly turn into the kind of conversations we used to have in the early days of the podcast. A proper send-off for Karl, although we're sure this won't be the last time he's around. @delrosa.kar Check out our Sponsors!
