The Carmudgeon ShowAuthor: Hagerty Media
Part of the Hagerty Podcast Network, the Carmudgeon Show is a comedic, information-filled conversation with Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott, two car enthusiasts who are curmudgeonly beyond their years. Proving you dont have to be old to be grumpy, they spend each episode talking about whats 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. Jasons deeply technical understanding, made possible by a lifelong obsession with cars, allows him to fully digest whats going on within an automobile and then put it into simple terms for others to understand. Also, a Masters Degree in Law trained him to be impossible to argue with. Derek Tam-Scott still tries. Hes a young automotive expert with old-man taste in cars, and a Masters Degree in Civil Engineering which means he knows how to be civil to Jason. Or at least he tries. With a decade and a halfs experience buying, selling, driving and brokering classic and exotic cars, hes experienced the worlds most iconic cars. And hated most of them.

Monday, 9 February, 2026
Today’s episode aims to answer a simple question: does “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” still apply in today’s automotive world? === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === Spurred by guest appearances of Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM and CLK63 AMG Black Series, Jason and Derek explore all angles of the motorsport-to-road car pipeline in this episode. From the NASCAR Camry to the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, many race series manufactures feature cars that resemble road car counterparts but end up being entirely different under the skin. Other times, homologation road cars like the E30 BMW M3, Subaru WRX STI, or Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution end up being very similar to what consumers can go buy off the showroom floor. But at the end of the day, what part of a marque’s motorsports marketing inspires an enthusiast enough to become a consumer of the product? Is racing ever enough?
