BaT Stats, 2025 Awards, Watchlist Favorites, and Too Much Time in a Tiny Plane
Bring a Trailer Podcast
Alex is joined by Randy and Zac to discuss monster trucks of yore; 1990s Sacramento basketball; "frame off" restorations of unibody cars; newly published BaT stats and Randy's thoughts on 2025 from the president's perspective; the least popular theme park for kids; an ex-Nonnenberg car live on the site; the first Radwood; and whether Zac can ever be a truck guy.
Moving on we talk about the annual BaT Awards, which we all look forward to every year; tease an upcoming Meet-Up in Palm Springs, BaT's first track event, and Route 66 activities to come; highlight current watchlist picks; give some Healey love; park a (probably broken) 912 inside a coffee shop; arrive at a stereotypical convergence on Porsche colors; and marvel at a very special Thunderbird whose history we are all fascinated with.
