<html><p>Hello! In this episode (which is <em>not </em>a 1.3GB .wav file this time!) we realize we accidentally became Important at Work and now lots of people want to listen to us. Luckily, the universe bestowed us with an incredible piece of Content for episode two: The America250 Grand Prix of Washington D.C. (in the middle of August!) Also, we discuss the end of Tesla's Model S and X, the end of the Santa Cruz, and run through the Indycar calendar to decide which races are actually still worth going to.</p><p>New intro music is <em>'oops i did too much k while listening to toby fox on repeat' </em>off stella spazzatura's album <em>Horse Tranquilizer Simulator, </em><a href="https://stellaspazzatura.bandcamp.com/album/horse-tranquilizer-simulator" target="_blank">which you can find on Bandcamp</a>!</p><p>Jordan & I have decided we're going to try and make this a Wednesdays-show with a bonus episode for <a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/vantimevictoria" target="_blank">Patreon subs, btw</a>.
