Show NotesAn emergency episode because the college football chaos demanded it. Guest Que joins to break down Michigan (4-2, Underwood benched, running game issues), Texas and Arch Manning, last week’s massive upsets, the SEC, the Cowboys’ frustrating lack of discipline, the Jalen Hurts blood clot situation, and outlooks for the rest of the season. Before the football talk, timely car news: Acura’s goal of selling 200,000 vehicles annually by 2030, Honda 0 Series Alpha updates (not coming to the US), next-gen NSX thoughts (Nexera Vision Concept EV as a potential foundation), and a full breakdown of the Tesla Roadster demonstration in McGregor, Texas — suction fans, cold-gas thrusters, the different versions, and why it was a real technology showcase rather than a gimmick.

Jhae and returning guest Andre “Dre” Mullins recap NSXPO 2026 (Orlando area, October 1–5, with Sebring HPDE) after Jhae’s unforgettable pre-event Montana / Big Sky trip that included time with Shinji Kawai and Aki. They break down the friendships forged through NSX ownership, the car show, drives, gala, track vibes, and why these gatherings feel different. Pure laid-back car-culture conversation on the non-automotive automotive podcast.

Jhae brings back Hard Parking Episode 187 with John and Marcus of The RTWJ Podcast — one of the five episodes he says shows the full range of the show. The original conversation started after he heard their July 5, 2023 episode “Pride Month 2023. Pride Gets Personal” and wanted in. John came out in high school. Marcus waited until his 20s. They talk coming out, whether you can be “gay enough” inside your own community, kids and sex ed, and why cars still sneak in at the end. After the classic, Jhae updates the tape: RTWJ’s last episode was August 11, 2025 (“America is (Not) Healing”), the friendship cooled when politics got personal, and why he still thinks this one is worth hearing.

Jim Mandel sits down with Jhae as a car-scene friend who also happens to be the bassist in Small Leaks Sink Ships. The Phoenix-born, Portland-based experimental art-pop band has been at it since the mid-2000s, and Jim still daily-drives a black 1999 Honda Civic DX. They talk the band’s run from Mesa’s Beyond Analog days through Golden Calf and 2023’s Low Tide, the skateboarding life that never really left, why cheap EK Civics still own the culture, and how a local friend group called Cartuned Network came together.

Phoenix photographer Matt Engdall sits down in the Gilbert studio and traces the whole path: graphic design at CSU Monterey Bay, a short run at Central Coast TV, the dead-end jobs back home, then a surprise CTE teaching gig at Sandra Day O’Connor High School from 2019 to 2024. COVID put the camera back in his hands. High Line turned car photos into a January 2021 business. Leaving the classroom in 2024 made it full-time. Matt breaks down light painting classes with the Phoenix Photography Group, why he scouts a location for hours before a shoot, and how design hierarchy — what your eye hits first — is the same skill whether he is building a logo or lighting a fender. Jhae also gets the classroom stories: stage fright, COVID kids, and why “just go teach” is not the easy AI backup plan. Correction from the Jesse Iwuji episode: Matt Casto, not Matt Castro.

Jonathon Rivers of Drive Culture returns for his third Hard Parking conversation. Jhae and Jon start with Rivers’ walkthrough of the Acura NEXERA Vision concept — dual-hinge doors, phantom lighting, and the design language pointed at the next-gen RDX Hybrid. Then they talk about the gap buyers keep missing: a prototype is a statement, a production car has to clear crash, cost, and packaging. The reference point is Toyota’s 2014 FT-1 concept versus the A90 GR Supra that actually reached the street. After that, the social media grind. Jon says he does not care about the numbers. Jhae does not let that sit. Drive Culture is Jon’s own channel, not an Acura or American Honda production.

EP342 Would we still stop the country for 9/11 if it happened today? Solo Episode 342 drops on the 25th anniversary, with Jhae Pfenning on memory fade, walking the Ground Zero memorial with Ivette in June 2018, and standing in a Grand Rapids bar when the second plane hit live on TV. ABC News posted that a Tesla crashed into Midtown scaffolding and killed a passenger, then deleted the X post after Community Notes. The driver was operating the car manually, fled, and was arrested for DWI and vehicular manslaughter — not FSD. Jhae also covers Labor Day street takeovers, including LAPD’s Operation Street Sweeper in Harbor Gateway. The back half is the Lindsay Clancy hung jury without a hot take. The trial was never “did she do it.” It was her state of mind. Using the 2015 Arizona I-10 median-barrier case he sat on, Jhae lands on the only rule that matters in a jury room: it is not what you know. It is what you can prove.

Navy Commander Jesse Iwuji went from Naval Academy safety to NASCAR driver and team owner — and he did not start wheel-to-wheel racing until age 28. Jesse talks 16 years in uniform, the 2014 vision that made a late start possible, building Jesse Iwuji Motorsports with Emmitt Smith, and why drifting and sports cars are next. Jesse Iwuji is a U.S. Navy commander and reserve officer, Naval Academy Class of 2010, former Midshipmen free safety, and co-owner of Jesse Iwuji Motorsports with Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith and Matt Casto. He began stock-car racing in 2015 at Irwindale while still on active duty and now runs a hybrid program with DGM Racing. In June 2026 he was promoted to commander the same weekend he raced NASCAR’s historic event at Naval Base Coronado.

Talk2Q is back on Hard Parking. Quincy Shelton joins Jhae Pfenning to preview the 2026 college football season, walk the preseason Top 25, and talk the blurry new line between the NFL and campus football. Before Q hops on, Jhae covers bourbon drops, Blanton’s Gold, skipping a packed Friday line, and a GoDaddy support call that turned into “wait… are you AI?” After the interview, Jhae follows the news that dropped hours later: the Browns waived TE Dae’Quan Wright, who had an agreement to join Lane Kiffin at LSU if he cleared waivers. The SEC and Big Ten then moved to block players who signed NFL deals, appeared on a roster, or declared for the draft from returning to those conferences. Jhae also breaks down 2026 practice-squad pay and Netflix’s UNTOLD: The Testimony of Vince Young.

Paul Bonnett joins Hard Parking for a deep dive into real grassroots drifting. The 33-year-old runs a 2007 Nissan 350Z at tracks like Thompson Speedway and Riverside in New Hampshire. He walks through his path from dirt bikes and a serious back injury into stunt riding, the disaster first BMW E46, and why the 350Z plus a simple drift sim finally clicked. You’ll hear what drifting actually feels like, how he practices chase proximity, the smartest way to start if you’re brand new, and where he wants to take it next. Late news: Nevada approved full robotaxi permits — Tesla up to 5,000 vehicles and Waymo up to 1,000 in the Las Vegas area.

Recording right in the middle of Monterey Car Week 2026, Jhae digs into the massive FOMO hitting from Laguna Seca’s rare Raybrig NSX race cars and the quiet free events most people miss while the influencers chase hypercars. He also gives his honest, unfiltered first take on Acura’s brand-new NEXERA Vision concept — the dual-hinge doors, phantom lighting, and design language that everyone is raving about but he’s still processing. Then Brian Sheehan of Anthem Cars and Coffee returns to talk the growing North Phoenix scene, Anthem Nights, the big Sunday schedule shift, and how the shows have become a real destination for clubs and rallies.

From her lowered 2000 Honda CR-V and 87 Chevy squarebody to seasonal work in Denali National Park, Buffalo roots, and the origin of the drink they named after her — this is classic Hard Parking real talk. Also covered: the Grim Reaper hospital stunt in Wales, a broken-down Tesla Cybercab on the 60, BMW’s Spider-Man startup animation, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey in IMAX, and a night at the LA River Tattoo Expo.

EP 335 | Dallas Walker: Country Music Almost Killed Me. Country singer-songwriter Dallas Walker finally joins Hard Parking after years of near-misses. At 35 he faced a serious health crisis that forced a complete lifestyle shift — spiritual awakening, plant medicine, nutrition, and a new take on life, music, and even aliens. We talk about why he turned down a lot of opportunities, American Purity Water Systems, his flat earth / no outer space views, and the emotional pull of a ’69 Corvette.
