What's the best, worst, and scariest part about driving a car from the early 1900s? We lived to tell you the tale. Joining us is Donald W. Osborne (@osbornedonald), a man who knows everything cars, is back! Donald knows cars. Period. When you're the CEO of the Audrain Automobile Museum and the reason the amazing Audrain Newport Concours d' Elegance & Motorweek exists, you need to know your stuff.
Topics include: our "interesting" drive in a 1902 Packard in the inaugural Veterans Run (a road rally for cars between 1901 and 1909); the massive traffic jam we caused; how cars evolved; why early steering was for boats; his favorite design era; should Deusenberg return; what Bugatti got right; dream cars; missed opportunities; and heroes he wished he hadn't met.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
