Podcast Episode 46 - The Post Pikes Peak Hill Climb Pre-Show

The 100th running of the Pikes Peak Hill Climb may be over in the real world, but podcasts exist in their own version of space and time and do not need to follow you mortals version of physics. In this episode we discuss a lot of Pikes Peak Hill Climb stuff and also talk about crazy high horsepower Diesels, lots of Honda Civic talk, a rant against "progress" with digital license plates, and we talk about our own racing exploits in Project Jellybean Fiesta ST and Project GTI.
