During the 80s and early 90s, Pablo Escobar was the richest, most ruthless cocaine trafficker in the world. But before his life was monopolized by drugs, money, and gang wars, Pablo was a man with a simple dream: to be a race car driver. And for two memorable seasons in the Colombian circuit, Pablo cheated and stole his way onto a championship podium. But how did he do it? What driver did he bring up on the way? And did everyone know his REAL job?! Today on Past Gas: the brief but insane racing career of cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar.

You guys should start rating different drinks as the podcast goes on. Whether it’s unofficial sponsors like Faygo or random things like your break room fridge/fountain water vs. kitchen sink tap water. Just for the laughs.

You should consider an Episode about JP Performance or JP himself, because he is without a doubte one of the most influencial people german car culture ever had to offer.

I understand there has to be ads but the sheer nber of them have been absolutely refining the experience. Reminds me of the IOI guys in Ready Player One. Don't be that greedy. Give us better quality content.

If you play this episode backwards there's some very subtle unofficial Faygo advertising if you listen carefully.
