Hosted by Paul Kramer, Dave Van Epps, and Casey Parkin, the show dives into real conversations about cars, collecting, driving culture, market trends, and the machines that keep us obsessed. From Porsche debates and market shifts to ownership stories, auction results, road experiences, and the opinions enthusiasts argue about in group chats and garages, nothing is off-limits. Expect sharp takes, honest disagreements, and insights shaped by years inside the enthusiast and collector car world. This isn’t hype, reviews, or influencer fluff. It’s the conversations real car people have when the cameras are off. Because opinions change. Cars don’t. And the best discussions happen somewhere in between.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-24T00:17:18.748972+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shifted-opinions-7700642"},"episode":{"title":"GT Smokies, A Rented GT3RS Gets Rolled & A $10M+ RS Collection Hits BaT | Shifted Opinions Ep. 13","slug":"gt-smokies-a-rented-gt3rs-gets-rolled-a-10m-rs-collection-hits-bat-shifted-opinions-ep-13","published_at":"2026-04-23T16:59:23+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shifted-opinions-7700642/gt-smokies-a-rented-gt3rs-gets-rolled-a-10m-rs-collection-hits-bat-shifted-opinions-ep-13","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shifted-opinions-7700642","url":"https://shiftedopinions.podbean.com/e/gt-smokies-a-rented-gt3rs-gets-rolled-a-10m-rs-collection-hits-bat-shifted-opinions-ep-13/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/mtdmqcbg3qqrqjs3/Audio_-_SO_-_Episode_13atvq0.mp3","summary":"Dave Van Epps is days away from putting his brand-new 1,200-mile 2025 GT3RS on track at VIR for GT Smokies — and the nerves are real.
