Proving you don’t have to be old to be grumpy, they spend each episode talking about what’s wrong with various parts of the automotive universe. Despite their best efforts to keep it negative, they usually wind up laughing, happy, and extolling their love for cars. Which just makes them angrier and more bitter. Jason Cammisa is an automotive journalist, social-media figure, and TV host with over 300 million views on YouTube alone. Jason’s deeply technical understanding, made possible by a lifelong obsession with cars, allows him to fully digest what’s going on within an automobile — and then put it into simple terms for others to understand. Also, a Master’s Degree in Law trained him to be impossible to argue with. Derek Tam-Scott still tries. He’s a young automotive expert with old-man taste in cars, and a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering — which means he knows how to be civil to Jason. Or at least he tries. With a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving and b…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-28T06:17:47.677713+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-carmudgeon-show-5368942"},"episode":{"title":"Driving The BMW Z1 — The Carmudgeon Show w/ Jason Cammisa & Derek Tam-Scott — Ep 230","slug":"driving-the-bmw-z1-the-carmudgeon-show-w-jason-cammisa-derek-tam-scott-ep-230","published_at":"2026-03-23T15:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-carmudgeon-show-5368942/driving-the-bmw-z1-the-carmudgeon-show-w-jason-cammisa-derek-tam-scott-ep-230","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-carmudgeon-show-5368942","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/HGM5116475039.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/HGM5116475039.mp3","summary":"This week, Derek and Jason both drive the BMW Z1 - the often-forgotten two-seat roadster that established BMW's Z brand in the late 1980s. Sharing the same chassis and drivetrain with the E30 325i, it's often been overlooked by many as just an E30 convertible with cool doors. But is there more than meets the eye? As it turns out, yes - much more... === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === Historically, the \"Z\" in BMW nomenclature stands for \"Zukunft\", or \"future\" in German. While the Z brand became associated with roadsters only, the Z1 debuted far more than just two seats and a folding soft top. The belt-driven doors were only one feature of the Z1 that made it ahead of it's time - multi-link rear suspension, removable body panels, and a host of other forward-thinking innovations made it far more advanced for its time than most give it credit for. This week's subject of Carmudgeonation brings some very interesting foresight on BMW's history and collectability as a brand - tying in the 507, Z8, and even the i3 into discussion.
