Josh Benjamin (@amg_josh), Avants Director for Scottsdale/Phoenix and Mercedes-AMG enthusiast, joins Jorge Aquino on the Tormenting Tarmac car podcast for round two — about 13 months after their first episode together.

Josh talks building car culture in Phoenix and Scottsdale through Avants: partner events with shops and brands (Discount Tire, Michelin, Griot's Garage and others), curated displays of special European cars instead of another generic cars-and-coffee, and a membership community that is not clique-y — "I don't have to have a McLaren to be a part of it." He measures success by whether people are proud to show up: if he can bring those people together for the events, he succeeded.

We also get into his Mercedes-AMG lane (he likes to consider himself an ambassador of the brand), why modern performance EVs can feel like they are missing their soul next to AMG's motorsport heritage, his 190E world, sim racing into GT3, and a deep dive on Mercedes in Formula 1. Full episode drops Monday.

Lyn Woodward (@lyn__woodward), automotive journalist and video reviewer at Kelley Blue Book, joins Jorge Aquino on the Tormenting Tarmac car podcast to talk slow cars, old Porsches and life in automotive media.

Lyn's love of cars started in the back jump seats of her dad's Porsche 356 cabriolets, and her first car was a 1977 Datsun B210 with a four-speed manual. Today she daily-drives a 2013 fifth-gen Toyota 4Runner and is deep into a rolling restoration of a 1967 Porsche 912 she bought in November 2023 and got running in time to drive it to Monterey Car Week the following August. We talk why she'd much rather drive a slow car fast, why the interior mattered more than the paint, and the joy of reviewing cars for everyday buyers.

We also cover her road from advertising and screenwriting (three produced movies) to 11 years as a car journalist, why good writing still matters, why AI can't drive a car and tell you what it thinks of it, competing in the Rebelle Rally six times (including a podium) and joining its media team this year, a drive-yourself safari in the Serengeti, and what car culture means to her: community.

What is going on everyone and welcome back to a bonus episode of TT just in time for Thanksgiving.

While in LA, I had some time to sit with my good friends Dan Pilling and Ryan Bahrke of that Car Show after dinner and just went for it. We discuss going to the Alfa Romeo event and checking out the Alfa 33 Stradale, cutting across town in rush hour traffic and why you should do it in an Audi SQ5, Ryan tells about the differences between driving a Carrera GT and Diablo, Dan went on an offroad journey in an F-150 Tremor to SEMA, and we learn where valet parking was supposedly invented.

Huge thanks to both Ryan and Dan for being troopers and sitting after dinner for a show. Please check out that car show on spotify and apple as well as Youtube.

From my family to yours, I wish you all an exceptional Thanksgiving! I am beyond grateful for the support you all give me. God bless, and enthusiasts never die!

What is going on everyone and welcome back to TT! This week, you find me in Los Angeles at the LA Autoshow and good friend to the podcast Kali Moldavon joins me from the Underground section at the LA Convention Center.

We chat about the decision behind deciding to let our mutual friend Rae Roberts create an insane hand painted livery on her G80 M3, the thought process behind it, the behind the scenes of what it took to make it happen and we discuss some of the things we really loved at the Autoshow.

Huge ups to Kali for hopping for a little bit. Make sure to give her a follow on IG and be sure to be following Pure PPF for all their incredible wraps and film protection finishes.

Enthusiasts never die!

What is going on everyone and welcome back to TT. This week, I am joined by OG guest of the podcast, Cody Nogowski.

You find us hanging out at the showroom over at the Young motorcars dealership in Scottsdale and we are just catching up. We discuss Cody's incredible trip to Europe over the spring with the Shmee150 team, his decision to start Young Film and Finish with the Young motorcar team, the behind the scenes of coordinating one of the best car shows of the year at Echelon over the winter and so much more. Plus, we are joined for a few minutes by Dawson Ketchum, fantastic photographer in his own right to chat about a little bit about his style which is incredible.

Huge thanks to Cody for coming on and as well as to the team at Young for letting me stop by. Remember enthusiasts never die!
