We spent some time driving EV's like the F150 Lightning, Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6 GT. All three are amazing platforms - but there's a bigger issue with EV's...and it involves McDonalds.

You know that guy who loves to talk with you about cars and racing? That's Big Jim O'Brien - and you're always welcome to stop by his garage as he hats with some of the biggest names in racing:  Mario Andretti, Alexander Rossi, Roger Penske, Bob Seger, Kurt Busch and many more...

Big Jim's Garage podcast with Jim O'Brien

EV's are like a Big Mac

This is NOT my normal style of podcast. Recorded at 4:30am in the studio here in Detroit (before my morning show) - sipping coffee and thinking about my week with the 2025 Ford F-150 Hybrid. The evolution of the truck to a true daily driver, and the guy who sold me his FX4 back in 2010 because they'd started a family. 

I was little bit introspective on this one - but I'm proud of it.

Deep Thoughts On The Ford F-150 Hybrid 

Roman De Angelis is one of the best young drivers in the world - in ANY series of racing. We're very fortunate to have him here with #IMSA for the Detroit Grand Prix this weekend (www.detroitgp.com for tickets). Make sure to look for his green #23 Aston Martin Valkyrie prototype this weekend. 

We talk racing here in Detroit, the downtown track, his experiences at LeMans and more.

Detroit Grand Prix Preview - IMSA star Roman De Angelis In Studio 

Always cool to hang out with Ricky Taylor and talk Detroit Grand Prix - his pass for the win in the IMSA race last year was the stuff of legend. We grabbed some burgers and talked racing. Also: 
Reviewing a couple of Kia's (the 2025 Carnival Mini-van and the new K4 GT Line)
What can you do with Monaco? The two stop strategy didn't work (obviously)
