Read excerpt
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 vehic

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 wa

Read excerpt
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
