Stories from F.A.T. ICE 2026!

Matt Farah and Zack Klapman have returned from the frigid motorsport party that is F.A.T. ICE RACE 2026 held in Big Sky, MT and they have stories! Rare cars were slid (and in some cases, crashed), race cars went slowly, rev limiters were hit, rally cars rallied, and the beats banged.

We tell you who was there, what happened, the cars we want to bring for next year, and what it's like learning to drift in front of 2000 people.

Then we answer Patreon questions including:

BMW 230i coupe for a fun used buy?

Past content we screwed up

Which Italian design studio we'd most want to work with

Are white wheels ever good?

Ford's new cheap EV truck idea

Best used supercar

Will the car market soften in 20 years?

Do we like aesthetic special editions?

And more!

Recorded March 2, 2026
