========================================
Presented with Holley!
Phase 3 of Kibbe and Friends is officially here, and Holley is back for more fun, foolishness, and flying orange Chargers!
Holley’s SCREAMING Holiday deals are served up alongside the turkey and gravy this year and some might say they’re better than Aunt Jen’s “Secret Ingredient” stuffing, where the secret ingredient is also known as “butter.” We realize that this is a bold statement. But Holley is a BOLD company, and you can get a brand new Sniper 2 EFI kit right now at a price so good you’ll skip the pumpkin pie and head right to the garage to get started! (Note: you can have that pumpkin pie Friday morning for breakfast, anyway. We all do it. No shame. Don’t forget the Cool Whip.)
Click Sniper 2 here to get going on your order, and tell them that we sent you!
K&F Show Summary:
Happy Thanksgiving! For 2023 our Thanksgiving spectacular is as full of seasonal automotive culture favorites as ever and it starts and ends with the greatest Thanksgiving car movie ever, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. We covered that in depth in the game show, but…..what we’re REALLY after is the cars that made John Hughes movies so memorable for gear-heads like his.
So, in addition to Thanksgiving PTA laced trivia, you can ALSO listen to our full rundown of the Hughes Cars that we developed in Episode 244. If that’s not enough and you have room for more, go back and listen to the original Planted Trains and Automobiles review from Kibbe and Finnegan Show #51!
We’ll be back for our LIVE Show on Patreon on Monday Nov 20th at 7PM CST. If you’re not on Patreon, sign up now baby! We’re doing our massive end of year fundraiser for Toys for Toys. The goal is $1500!

Presented with Holley! We’re happy to let you know that Holley is doing another amazing engine giveaway but you only have until Dec 5, 2022 to get signed up for it! This time it’s the latest and greatest LT motor filled with some of the best parts money can buy, including a forged rotating assembly that brings displacement to 427 cubic inches, Mast Motorsports Black Label cylinder heads, a custom ground camshaft, and as many Holley parts as we could throw at it. All of this will be controlled by a Holley Terminator X EFI system, making it capable of up to 700 horsepower. https://www.holley.com/win/ltenginesweepstakes/
The John Hughes Movie Car Spectacular! Kibbe created the criteria for all of this, so if a major one got missed or you disagree with the reasoning it’s his fault. First, the movie has to be well known. It has to have been released within his lifetime. He could have written it, directed it, or both. Most importantly there has to be a car that you instantly identify with that movie or that someone would be wacky enough to make a replica of!

Movie Review: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!
The KF Show is off at SEMA 2022 this week! That’s good news though, because we’ll come back with plenty of stories and content for you. In the mean time we are kicking off the month of November with a “re-run” of our famous review of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!
So here’s the thing – when it comes to a Thanksgiving themed highly quotable slapstick-yet-tearjerker movie to review there’s really only one that is worthy of doing so for: Planes, Trains & Automobiles. Let’s admit it – John Hughes plus Steve Martin plus John Candy equals perfection. And yes, before you even say it, we have reviewed this movie years before with Finnegan (Episode 51) in fact. And yes…it was so funny then that, like this movie, it’s worth a repeat of because it’s as timeless as it gets….plus the re-enactment of the “you play with your balls” scene was pretty epic!
Better yet….the entire second hour on Patreon (www.patreon.com/kfshow) does a deeper dive on the car, the quotes, the unaired plot points that explained so much more, and another movie re-enactment of the most famous scene in the movie. You know the one….those aren’t pillows!
Kick back and enjoy – and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Planes Trains and Automobiles Review: This is the world most perfectly made buddy movie centered on the topic of Thanksgiving, ever. It stars Steve Martin and John Candy and was written, produced, and directed by the 1980’s move genius, John Hughes. Neil Page (Steve Martin) and Del Griffith (John Candy) are two travel companions unwontedly stuck together when their flight from NYC to Chicago is diverted to Wichita, KS. What happens over the next two days will go down in movie lore as the strangest scene involving butt cheeks, 18 f-bombs in a row at a car rental counter, and a 1986 Dodge 600 convertible that catches fire. It’s comedic genius. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving and Mopars
It’s Thanksgiving in the U.S. and it’s a time to celebrate with friends and family to give thanks for all we’ve been blessed with. It’s a time for good food, laughing, football, and relaxing. For those of you that will be traveling this year, here’s a clip of my favorite Thanksgiving movie that features a […]
