Carlos Ghosn. You’ve seen his name in the headlines-- the Nissan CEO who feld Japan in a cargo crate. What events led to that infamous run from the law? Who was Ghosn before his fall from grace? Was he framed by Japanese law enforcement, or is he guilty… or both?! It’s one of the weirdest, most compelling crime stories in car history-- today on Past Gas.

I kinda miss seeing your faces it gives more of a feel to see your expressions idk I may be stupid and probably not with popular believe anyway keep up the good work.

[@brianferreira4554]

I agree with you

[@brendandanielson4928]

Agree

[@Juice83]

Same man... It's been addressed before. Unfortunately, syncing and editing the video with audio takes a ton of time to do and since it's more of a podcast type set up, they intended it to be for the audio. It doesn't have the same impact in my opinion either, but still love em!

[@derangedhermit2879]

Get you some custom bobble head dolls recreated in like likeness of James, Nolan and Joe to pose assembled in a scene inside of some a jiggly diorama type of getup? xD

[@jdm603jake]

Nah bro we all miss it!

[@eriknovak5452]

Can't wait until you guys can bring back video! Love the podcast

[@brendandanielson4928]

Would also love to see u guys live again on this show. Keep it up!

[@STRGHTSXBNZ]

@28:45 - I can confirm that Ghosn has had several R35 GTR company cars (sequentially). I have worked on two of them in the Nissan Europe "Special Vehicle Operations/Training" -facility in France. He had the first LHD official EU-spec R35 in Europe; a black one with a grey leather interior. Later I believe he had a grey V-spec. I was told he changed company cars more often than shoes. So, all low mileage and all were just collecting dust in and around the facility. I just could not believe how much potential was just left rotting away there, outside, in the rain, under some trees...

[@dany-ric-3]

The guy held press conference in Beirut and he answered the questions is SEVEN different languages fluently , that's very impressive

[@maxmolina7201]

[@adrianor.passarelli8127]

[@jamessizemore7103]

Yay joe’s back!

[@grimrobinson5269]

How about an episode on the history of Chevrolet or Mitsubishi? Seems like these are 2 that haven't been touched on much.

[@Pssnmeoff]

I'm so glad there's no video with these except the commercials. Can't miss those.

[@matthewmacnichol6766]

I know I'm from IL, but I'm a Director for Napleton Aston Martin Maserati. A shout out for our dealership would be amazing!!!!

[@nickguilbert4259]

[@henrynewgent8481]

[@matthew3319]

[@zeoncrux]

Yo nolan, when will we see Donut RC stickers?

[@SKGAMER-rh4lo]

U guys are great

[@alexabney7913]

Japan actually coerces a lot of their convictions. It’s way faster to accept what they want and go through the process bc they will continue to hold you until you relent. It’s not good at all.

[@urbandiscipline8858]

That's not true.

[@robertbelote5273]

When did Hillary start working in japan?

[@turbo1438]

Come on dudes

[@Crackeracing]

Hi

[@FAtE_454]

I miss the live action too, but they gave a logical explanation as to why it'll not happen again.. Sorry the real world doesn't live up to your wants 🤷

[@valentinpetrov5603]

I do love ye guys really and your content. But as someone whos from ireland, ye reallllllllyyy overexaggerate the accents. Im glad joe saw some good side 9f the car scene tho

[@notserpmale03]

faces ):

[@deadmeatdec2164]

At least pop a photo up from time to time. Lazy

[@lindakleypas1714]

Here’s a tip, look for fortified shampoo for fast hair growth.

[@conkess9291]

1st

[@codywiththecamera2901]

I wish Nolan just told these entire stories alone like the intro. A childish interruption to force a bad joke in, every two minutes ruins this. Way to easy to lose focus when listening to this podcast, as I’m here for the story. I stop listening when y’all go on a tangent, focus on the podcast again 10 minutes later, anddd I’ve missed important info. Terrible show. Grow up mentally and grow your show up. Ya know... unless you want to cater 12 year olds
