Speed, Style, and Sonic Booms

Automotive passion takes center stage as we broadcast live from the Tailpipes and Tacos Cruise-In at Lupe' Tortilla Tex-Mex in Katy, Texas. The spring air is filled with the rumble of engines, the scent of breakfast tacos, and the undeniable camaraderie that defines car culture.

Our featured guest, John Thuman, brings his breathtaking 1965 Cobra Daytona Coupe replica that stops everyone in their tracks. This isn't just any kit car – it's a meticulously built Factory 5 Racing creation powered by a Gen 3 Coyote engine pumping out 500 horsepower in a 2,500-pound package. Painted in what John calls "Medina yellow" (a deliberate jab at Ferrari enthusiasts), this tubular-frame beauty represents the perfect blend of vintage aesthetics and modern performance. When John casually mentions reaching speeds of 160 mph because he "ran out of road, not out of car," you understand this isn't just transportation – it's a passion project that demands respect.

The show shifts gears with Jeff's valuable insights on car show preparation, covering everything from cleaning supplies (including the game-changing "rinseless car wash" technique) to safety essentials like fire extinguishers. 

Meanwhile, Marrs delivers a comprehensive review of the 2025 Ford Maverick Lobo – Ford's sporty new trim level featuring distinctive black emblems, lowered suspension, and a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine delivering 250 horsepower through a seven-speed transmission.

Whether you're a dedicated gearhead or simply appreciate automotive culture, this episode captures why we devote countless hours to these mechanical marvels. They're not just vehicles; they're expressions of individuality, engineering excellence, and the thrill of the open road.
