| 3/12/26 | Ice Racing Chaos, Magnus Walker’s Porsche Sell-Off & the Wheels That Make or Break a Car | In this episode of Shifted Opinions, the conversation moves through several corners of enthusiast car culture — from frozen racetracks to classic Porsche collecting. Paul Kramer, Dave Van Epps, and Casey Parkin start with the growing buzz around modern ice racing events, where wildly different machines — vintage Porsches, Lamborghinis, rally builds, and everything in between — end up sliding across frozen courses in one of the most unusual automotive gatherings of the year. Paul shares what it was actually like attending the event while recovering from surgery, navigating the ice, the crowds, and the chaotic logistics behind the scenes. From there, the discussion shifts to a topic that has captured the attention of Porsche enthusiasts everywhere: Magnus Walker is selling part of his collection. The hosts take a closer look at several of the cars headed to auction and debate which one they would personally keep. Along the way, they explore the mindset behind collecting — why certain cars resonate with enthusiasts far beyond their market value. Later in the episode, the conversation turns toward the kind of detail only true car nerds obsess over. Steering wheels.Road wheels.The design choices that completely change how a car feels and looks. The group digs into the subtle elements that define great builds — from iconic Porsche wheel designs to the small decisions that can elevate or completely ruin the character of a car. If you enjoy thoughtful conversations about enthusiast cars, collecting, and the details that shape automotive culture, this episode of Shifted Opinions delivers exactly that. | 1h 17m 45s | ||||||
| 3/5/26 | Magnus Walker Interview: Urban Outlaw, Porsche Culture, and the Outlaw Collection Auction | Everyone has opinions about cars. Most of them change once you actually live with them. In this episode of Shifted Opinions, Paul Kramer, Casey Parkin, and Dave Van Epps are joined by one of the most recognizable figures in modern Porsche culture — Magnus Walker. To many people he’s the Urban Outlaw. But behind the nickname is a story about curiosity, instinct, and decades spent living inside the car community rather than observing it from the outside. Magnus joins the show to talk about the next chapter of that journey — including his upcoming RM Sotheby’s Outlaw Collection auction and why he’s decided it’s time to let some of these cars move on to their next owners. The conversation moves through the early days of the Porsche community, the unexpected path that led Magnus to become a cultural icon, and how perspectives on cars evolve after years of actually driving, collecting, and experiencing them. Along the way, the group reflects on something that often gets lost in today’s content-driven automotive world: the difference between opinions formed online and opinions formed through real experience. This episode isn’t about hype or hot takes. It’s about the long view of car enthusiasm — and how the cars we love tend to change us just as much as we change them.

| 2/26/26 | Owner Opinions vs. Internet Opinions | Most car opinions are formed online.Very few are formed behind the wheel. This conversation draws the line between owner opinions and internet opinions — and why they rarely match. From a carbon-roof 964 build to the short shifter vs RS shifter debate, to auction comment fatigue and the misunderstood “Emo Years” of 2000–2012 cars, it all comes back to one thing: Experience changes perspective. It’s easy to critique from a keyboard. It’s harder to form an opinion after real miles, real maintenance, and real ownership. When you actually live with these cars, your opinions shift. And that’s the point. Where we’re not sure — but cars are involved. For more episodes and updates, visit ShiftedOpinions.com. | 1h 23m 11s | ||||||

| 2/19/26 | 10 Minutes Without Porsche Talk? We Didn’t Make It | We tried to go 10 minutes without talking about Porsche. It lasted… briefly. In Episode 4, the conversation starts with other cars — Aston Martin DB9s, B5 S4 Avants, short shifter debates, and EMO-era definitions — and somehow keeps circling back to the cars that shaped an entire generation of enthusiasts. What starts as a simple premise turns into a meandering, honest discussion about EMO-era cars, ownership realities, auction quirks, and how opinions evolve when you actually live with the cars instead of just spec-sheet debating them. No hot takes for clicks.No forced topics.Just real conversations shaped by driving, collecting, fixing, and thinking about cars far too much.

| 2/11/26 | Introducing the EMO Era: Why 90s–2000s Cars Are Suddenly Explowing in Value | Car opinions are easy when you’re scrolling. They get complicated when the numbers (and the market) start yelling back. In this episode of Shifted Opinions, we officially name the moment we’re living in: the EMO Era — that late-90s to early-2010s stretch where the cars we all argued about in forums are now the cars people are paying real money for. We dig into the sudden value swings (and the psychology behind them):993s and 964s climbing fast, E46 and E92 M3s creeping into “wait… what?” territory, and the bigger question — are buyers chasing nostalgia, scarcity, or just whatever the comment section tells them to want? Also in this episode: • Me Time: rally miles, winter driving prep, and auction comment-section therapy• Automotive news (including what’s next for Top Gear / Grand Tour-adjacent chaos)• Rare Porsche auction eye-candy: 968 Turbo RS / Turbo S and why they matter• The broader collector wave hitting everything from Porsches to M cars• The debate: is this hype… or a real shift? If you’ve looked up your “old dream car” lately and felt personally attacked by the price, you’re not alone.

| 2/11/26 | Why 2000s Sports Cars Got So Expensive (Aughts Price Explosion Explained) | Shifted Opinions — Episode 2 Description (Apple Podcasts / Podbean-friendly) Why did sports cars from the 2000s suddenly get so expensive? In this episode of Shifted Opinions (where we’re not sure, but cars are involved), Paul Kramer (Auto Kennel), Casey Parkin (Group C Curation), and Dave Van Epps (Sonderworks) break down the real reasons “aughts” era values have exploded — and why the broader market can feel flat while specific cars keep ripping upward. We start with what we’ve been doing in cars (including a 964-based build that’s turning into an absolute monster, and Paul’s 944 Turbo S headed to Big Sky for ice racing), then zoom out to the bigger picture: Hagerty’s market data, why some segments are soft while others surge, and how nostalgia (video games, posters, and “forbidden fruit” imports) is quietly reshaping demand. Then we get specific: What “pockets of growth” really mean in today’s collector market Why 2000–2012 performance cars are peaking in desirability right now The psychology behind bidding wars, scarcity, and “I’m tired of looking” purchases Big talking points from the week: Magnus Walker’s collection sale (what’s true and what’s not) Real-world price shockers: R34 Nür, 997 GT3 RS, Challenge Stradale, 996 Turbo S And our favorite segment: This or That — where we compare an “aughts” pick vs. a newer car at a similar price and argue about what actually deserves the money If you’ve been asking “is the market down or up?” — this episode explains why the answer is: both, depending on what you’re shopping for. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us what you think is the most overrated (or undervalued) ‘aughts-era car right now.
