Mario Andretti: A Lifetime at Full Throttle!
Tuesday May 23, 2023
Tuesday May 23, 2023
A racing icon, considered by many to be the greatest race car driver in the history of the sport. Born in Italy, emigrated to the United States at 15, and began racing stock cars in Pennsylvania at 19 which was the start of an illustrious career. He won races in sports cars, sprint cars and stock cars – on ovals, road courses, drag strips, on dirt and on pavement.
His achievements became legendary: The world watched as he won the Daytona 500, the Indy 500 and ultimately the Formula One World Championship, an unprecedented trifecta. Mario Andretti took the checkered flag 111 times during his career – a career that stretched five decades and across six continents.
I’m joined by William Ross from Exotic Car Marketplace in welcoming the one and only, MARIO… Andretti to Break/Fix!

Harry Miller: The Man & His Machines
Thursday May 18, 2023
Thursday May 18, 2023
Gordon Eliot White is a retired newspaper correspondent who covered Washington, D.C., Europe and the Far East for the Chicago American and other newspapers for 34 years. After he retired from news-paper work he became the Smithsonian Institution's auto racing advisor, following a sport he had enjoyed since 1939. He since has written seven books on the history of American open-wheel racing, including a history of Fred Offenhauser and the Offenhauser racing engine. He has served as the unofficial historian of the Harry A. Miller Club and as curator and archivist of more than 12,000 drawings, tracings and blueprints of Miller's cars and engines, as well as of thousands of documents covering the history of American racing since early in the 20th century. His presentation will address Harry Miller's impression on American racing as well as how aficionados rediscovered him after he had been all but forgotten and, over the past 40 years have un-earthed and restored many of his cars.

Why should I buy… a water-cooled Porsche? (Kevin Duffy)
Tuesday Apr 18, 2023
Tuesday Apr 18, 2023
The last of the “cheap” Porsches – they were plentiful, and some had aggressive jack-knifed fender flares and others were more demure. They don’t have the panache of the 911 but that’s OK. Because these amazingly well-balanced front-mount rear-drive vehicles are what many would consider “a Driver’s Car” – something you jump in, don’t think twice about, but puts a smile on your face when exiting a corner on a back-road, autocross or race track.
Tonight we’re chatting about the Porsche 924 & 944 - the 924 being originally designed by Porsche for Volkswagen and is the predecessor to it’s more famous younger sibling the 944. These vehicles spanned a 16 year production run from 1976 through 1992 before ultimately being replaced by the 968. And joining us for an in-depth conversation into one of my favorite Porsche’s is Kevin Duffy, noted 924/944 expert from 924S944.com to explain to us “Why we should buy… a water-cooled Porsche!”

Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend (EILFM Crossover)
Thursday Apr 13, 2023
Thursday Apr 13, 2023
Set against the backdrop of post-war Italy, Lamborghini: The Man behind the Legend mirrors the complex transformation of Ferrucio Lamborghini’s homeland. From his modest beginnings building tractors to the infamous rivalry he shared with Enzo Ferrari, his unparalleled genius made him a true icon in the automobile industry. However, his passions also ignited emotional turmoil in his personal life, which was full of both romance and tragedy. Told through a tightly constructed narrative style and imaginative visual design, this film is the true story of the man behind the machine.
Welcome back Steve from Everything I Learn from Movies (EILFM) Podcast, as well as executive producer of the Drive Thru Tania, and Mountain Man Dan to Break/Fix movie review!
