EP240
Jhae reflects on a recent vacation to Minnesota and how his family has become even smaller since the passing of his father in 2020, emphasizing the value of spending time with loved ones. The latest podcast review suggesting they "stick to cars," and how this feedback as an opportunity for improvement and learning but also how the Dan Lebatard Show with Stugotz inspired Hard Parking so a review asking the show to "stick to cars" is almost a compliment.
Jhae defends the content of this podcast, which includes a mix of automotive topics and other interests, and explains the approach to covering various subjects based on their curiosity and audience feedback. Jhae reviews a 2023 rental Subaru Outback, noting its features and their mixed feelings about it, emphasizing its practicality but not being a preferred choice. Southwest Airlines is shifting away from its open seating policy to a reserved seating system starting possibly in January, which may address their current struggles. Jhae expresses frustration with Southwest's check-in process, which requires prompt action to secure a good boarding position, and recounts a recent experience where they ended up in less desirable seats despite their efforts. Southwest's business class upgrade as overpriced and share their relief at improving their seating situation on the return flight.
Jhae reviews Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), finding Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka odd and the film a strange but enjoyable remake. They also watched Breathe (2023) but found it disappointing, citing poor acting and a lack of tension. Did you know the stunts and practical effects of the Fast and Furious movies, revealing that many stunts were done with real cars rather than CGI.
Upcoming Events:
September 14-15: Las Vegas September 21-22: Southwest Speed Festival: Podium Club in Casa Grande, Arizona. October 13: Future Collector Car Show: at Barrett Jackson. Jhae is the Emcee October 23-27: NSXPO:Podcast Review Request: The speaker encourages listeners to leave a review on Apple Podcasts, especially if they use Spotify or YouTube.

It seems the internet remains undefeated as the less known Tippah County Tribune published an article stating that the Hawk Tuah girl, Hailey Wellington has been fired from her job as a pre-school teacher. This satirical article set the world on fire faster than Amazon Prime's Fallout TV series. Whether Hailey is even really a pre-school teacher or not, the question is still, Can people still be fired from things on social media? I guess it depends on what those things are.
Also in this episode, the Honda Z get's its first oil change and the NSX is back in the garage. Why did Jhae pick the Acura RDX loaner over the Acura Integra?
The Q&A segment has returned.
