The Delorean DMC-12 had such a tumultuous life that whole movies and books have been written about it's short two year life. But beyond all the drama and rumors, are the cars any good? Is it possible to get away from the Back to the Future references? And is there a Ferrari connection Steve can talk about? To get the answers to these questions, we enlisted current owner Geoff and then just heckled him. It's a good time!

The VW Type 2, or bus, is an icon around the world. Over 6 generations, it has sold millions of examples and been the ride of choice for everyone from hippies to terrorists. But which one is the best of the best? To help us find out, we enlisted an actual expert and owner to sort through this vehicle's 70 year history. What will Steve, Adam, and Sean pick as their Best in Class?

Ah the Mazda RX-7. Too strange to live, too rare to die. Adam owned an RX-7 when he was way too young to appreciate it, too dumb to fix it, and too poor to keep it for long. Ignoring that he bought one, are they any good at all? Is there a single model in the three generations that won't leave you stranded on the side of the road? All that and more on today's Best in Class.

The Ferrari Mondial has been described as the cheapest way into a Ferrari, the ugly duckling, and worse than the car it replaced. And those are all true. But it was also Ferrari's best seller at the time. So what is going on here? This week we've enlisted current Mondial owner Dave to help us understand the least-loved Ferrari and perhaps gain some appreciation for it. Or perhaps not.

We've finally come to the last car in Adam's fleet - the venerable BMW 2002. And yet, Steve conveniently couldn't make it this week so our special guest turned into a guest host! Matt will help us get down into what the best BMW 2002 of all time is, as well as making fun of Steve since he's not here to fight back...

The International Harvester Scout was arguably the first American SUV ever made. The model also only lasted 20 years before the whole company went out of business. So if it wasn't good enough to save the company, is the car any good? And which one is the best one? We've enlisted guest host Rashod to help us sort it out this week.

The Toyota Yaris was basic transportation for millions of people, and that it about it. Or is it? Are there any redeeming features to this cheap-as-chips vehicle? And why are we talking about it right after Diablo? What the hell? We'll try to answer that this week.

If you had a car poster on your wall in the 90's, the odds are you had an extra large one of the Lamborghini Diablo. If you didn't have any posters, you certainly "drove" a Diablo in Need for Speed or Cruisin' USA. It was a car of the moment in the Clinton years. But what about today? Could it be used around town without falling apart after 30 years? Steve and Adam are on the case today.

The Morgan Motor Car company started in 1909, and hasn't changed so much as a light bulb since then. Their cars are still handmade, quite weird, and built out of wood. They are truly a automotive basketcase. But hey, it's Steve's birthday so we'll cover them anyway...

Ferrari has come out with their first 4-door, AND their first SUV. Although they won't call it an SUV. And two of doors open backward. And the order books are already full. But beyond all those quibbles, it's big news! Adam and Steve have poured over all the official information, unofficial leaks, and pure rumor to give you our first episode on a car that we haven't even seen yet. What could go wrong?
