Magnus Walker is the man who turned air-cooled Porsches into a movement. This is a podcast about letting it go.He sold 18 cars from his personal collection this spring and kept the 16 he couldn't part with. Three months on, he sat down with us to talk about what's left when you stop collecting: feeling lighter, the worthless van he misses more than the Porsches, and the 356 that found him on his way out the door.Support Overcrest:https://www.patreon.com/overcrest

Tommy Thomas spent high school talking about the Cannonball Run and the next four decades not doing it. A career driving fire trucks will do that. Retirement changed the math. Now he crosses the country with a co-driver, a trunk full of countermeasures, and a Cadillac built to look like nothing at all. We get into the laser jammers, the truckers who help and the ones who don't, the cops who go either way, and what it takes to get from one ocean to the other before most people finish a weekend.Support Overcrest, Get cool Stuff:https://www.patreon.com/overcrest

Bailey Clayton is a sign painter who taught himself the trade before he knew it had a name. He started with calligraphy in a school notebook and now points squirrel-hair brushes and oil-based one-shot at the sides of race cars, recreating historic liveries by hand. He stands for permanence in a world that re-vinyls everything every five years, and for the belief that a number painted by hand outlasts the business that commissioned it.Support Overcrest:https://patreon.com/overcrest

Buddy Levy is the author of Labyrinth of Ice, the definitive account of the Greely Expedition. In 1881, 25 men were sent to the Arctic. The government forgot about them. Only six came home. What happened at Camp Clay is one of the most harrowing survival stories in American history.Part 3 of The Forgotten Ones. We talk about what drove men into the unknown, what happens to the mind in 137 days of darkness, and whether anything like this is still possible.Check out Buddy's work: buddylevy.comSupport Overcrest: patreon.com/overcrest

The guys chat Jake buying the dumbest of all cars, and Kris buying another grandpa car. Also, some interesting and obscure news on dealership models and bear fraud.

Paul didn't set out to run a dealership. He set out to build a clubhouse for car people, and AutoKennel is what happened along the way.In this episode, I sit down with Paul, the driving force behind AutoKennel, the Southern California shop that has quietly become a gathering place for enthusiasts as much as a licensed dealer and brokerage. We talk about how a passion project turned into a real business, what sets his approach apart from the typical consignment outfit, and why the people around the cars matter as much as the cars themselves.Paul also opens up about his cancer diagnosis and the road through recovery, and how the experience reshaped his perspective on the business, the community around it, and what actually matters when you strip everything else away. It's an honest conversation, and one that goes deeper than the usual shop talk.Find more on Paul here:AutokennelShifted Opinions - YouTube

Past the edges of the maps were mountains that killed ten men at Christmas. A bridge in New York where a man became someone else every night for thirteen years. And an Arctic camp where twenty five soldiers were abandoned by their own government and left to eat whatever was left. These are the stories nobody tells anymore. Not because they aren't worth telling, but because the men at the center of them have faded into memory, replaced by time.Support this show: https://www.patreon.com/c/overcrest
