The 2018 PRI experience was completely different than last year's! The guys had a killer meet and greet with our fans (with great food this time), there was some slight debauchery exploring Indianapolis nightlife, and Adam chooses an outfit for the fancy dinner party at SCCA National Convention. Oh yeah, and we went to the tradeshow thing...
We tackle another Craigslist challenge this week by searching for the best first car for a teenager under $5,000. We also find that the definition of the word "best" is subjective.
Our sole field reporter, Duston Nixon, joins us again this week! Duston describes successfully competing as a father/son team against well-funded, shop-built cars in the Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge.
It's that unfortunate time of year where race season has come to a close and we must evaluate all the crap we've broken over the last several months. The guys make a list of what they plan to fix over the next few cold months
We take a rare form this week by looking at practical buying options and surprising values in the new car market place. #realjournalism We also take a look at the most Googled car manufacturers by country.
James Chartres of Kanga Motorsports joins us to shares his first SCCA Runoffs experience.

Remember how rad Pimp My Ride was in the early 2000s? Remember how terrible the builds ACTUALLY were? Well we decide to ruin each others' cars in a similar vein in this week's show!
WHAT?? Ten Tenths on a Wednesday?? Madness! This episode is proof positive that we actually DID announce at GRIDLIFE (admittedly Jabaay helped a lot), and that we got to meet some rad Time Attack drivers including Cody Loveland and Sally McNulty.
As much as it pains us to admit, the Midwest racing season is drawing to a close. We go out with bang by attending GRIDLIFE Round 5: Michael and Adam announce Time Attack while Robbie takes to the track with the 240.
Michael and Robbie recount their last minute entry to the 2018 Mid Coast Road Rally. Adam provides sensible advice to avoid writing off your $40,000 sportscar during track days.
Rocky Butler is the announcer for AMA Supermoto and rides in several disciplines of motorcycle racing. He joins us this week to help Robbie determine how much motorcycle he can buy from the proceeds of selling the 240 and to defend his namesake.
In a turn of events that seems almost TOO professional for Ten Tenths Podcast, Duston Nixon represents the show as official media at Formula Drift Texas. He reports back to the guys on what turned out to be a rather controversial weekend of drifting. In addition, and despite their better judgement, the guys take another stab at an "Ask Us Anything", and are actually quite pleased with the questions!
A plethora of topics bestow this week's show: project updates, Robbie's renewed obsession with motorcycles, French food, and can being on the Joe Rogan Experience ruin your career??
This week the guys expand on the idea from the Mansory episode (episode #10) by exploring the "lifestyle" products available from any and all automotive manufacturers.
This week the guys argue about the differences between SUVs, hatchbacks, wagons, and shooting breaks; they provide several updates on their project cars; and they discussed the most Germanic way to attempt to alter the weather.
This week the guys put a "Price Is Right" spin on the Craigslist Challenge: each host must choose a series of cars from Craigslist or Ebay, and the other two must get closest to guessing the advertised price without going over. They quickly confirm that Craigslist pricing isn't directly correlated with market values nor basic reasoning.
Back together after a week hiatus, the guys discuss their experiences from the past weekend. Michael has an opportunity to shoot amongst the pros at Formula Drift St. Louis and Robert has a go at his first Time Trials event with the SCCA.
Andrew Rains is a professional racing driver and marketer for APEX Pro. Andrew joins us this week to tell us about his short but quick assent in pro racing, how he became connected with APEX Pro, and how he is on the shortlist of drivers to crash a GT40. Additionally, the podcast loses its much needed balance in Adam's absence. Michael and Robbie discuss which Mercedes AMG wheel option is right for you, how to best maintain the foreign registration on your million-dollar hypercar, and how luxury...
We are joined again this week by SCCA Marketing Gene Extrodinar Heyward Wagner. Heyward shares with us several of the SCCA's highly attended and competitive events in all racing disciplins over the coming months. For more information about any and all SCCA programs, check out www.scca.com!

A smattering of topics are discussed this week: Michael discusses his most recent Indycar experience, Robbie discovers his next career, and we all discuss modifications you should consider NOT doing to your car.

Carnage and destruction! Michael and Robbie share their recent race-day experiences and we realize autocross can be more disastrous than we originally considered.
Ryan Sage is Vice President and co-founder of Formula Drift. Many of you may recognize him as co-host of FD proceedings along side Jarod DeAnda, but Ryan is actively engaged in the growth and development of the Formula Drit program. Ryan joins us this week to discuss the development of FD over the past 15 years and where he sees the future potential of the sport.
The guys have returned from their 3rd year at Gridlife Midwest. This year's festival was a unique experience, including the debut of Time Attack Bracket Battles, killer drifting, and some unfortunate weather.
Robert takes the reins of the show solo this week in order to interview Freddie Hunt. If Freddie's last name sounds familliar, that is because he is the son of the infamous James Hunt, winner of the 1976 Formula One World Championship. Freddie discusses his unusual transition into automotive racing and his campaign towards Le Mans.
This week Michael shares an interesting observation about most Formula D cars and we discuss how owners ruin certain models of cars.
The guys face the hardest challenge they've ever set for themselves: choosing three cars they all love, and three cars they all hate. Skip to the next show if you are easily offended.
