This BaT Podcast episode, recorded on a particularly active day for the motorcycle shop next door, sees Alex, Randy and Cam choosing the best of the transitory period between the late '50s and mid '60s. They set the stage with politics, the state of American optimism, and the top film, music and motorsports events of the year before picking their favorite vehicles in the Sports Car, Truck/4x4, Family Hauler, Daily Driver, and Wild Card categories.

Along the way: driving a DB4 in flip flops; wildly varying opinions on the '60 Galaxie lineup; a country sedan that isn't; big honkin' Brit cars; light name-calling; a tight race in trucks; a helluva deal; an aquatic detour in high style; an aspirational rush into GT territory; overloading a Giulietta TI; a sad Mini merger; and a most honorable mention.

This BaT Podcast episode, the fourth in our series about Car Movies, covers the surprise hit American Graffiti—the early, scrappy, low-budget George Lucas effort featuring Ron(nie) Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, Harrison Ford, and many more names who might not be at the tips of our tongues in 2026 but whose roles in the movie have left indelible marks on so many of us. And let us not forget the cast of true A-listers led by Milner's legendary yellow Deuce coupe.

Alex, Cam, Beck, and Zac talk about what the film meant (or didn't mean) to kids who grew up in various parts of California, even ones from a generation after it was made; its vérité-adjacent shooting style; Mel's as a story anchor;  the drunken antics of Harrison Ford and company; a revelation that (a thinly disguised) Curt works at BaT; a diegetic score culminating in the hardest-hitting usage of "Green Onions" ever; Wolfman Jack as an omniscient narrator; how  texting and Tinder would have rendered the movie impossible; the car history of George Lucas; modern gangs of teens on e-bikes; and what the '90s versions of the hero and villain cars would have been.

This week, Alex brings in the big guns. Randy, Howard, and Zac talk about our recent Palm Springs event; crazy winds and a curious white substance in the southern California mountains; a magnet for male attention; important questions about people who film everything they do; a remarkably un-harrowing experience at Disneyland; reviews of Alex's beautiful new Euro 308GTB; a flying Corvette; an exceptional 240Z; and discontinued BaT merch that haunts Randy.

They also talk about hunting the ones that got away and the perpetual lie of project car completion percentage, take a brief stop in Aviation Corner with Alex, and preview a very special upcoming collection sale. Also featured: a very bad dog, split-window Corvettes hitting escape velocity, and favorite auctions from the last couple of weeks.
