That’s right kids…we are back with another episode! This week Gregg Bucell stops by the garage! Gregg has had an extensive and impressive career in drifting and is currently working for Formula DRIFT as a commentator, announcer and ambassador. He’s also currently hosting the show Grid Walk and posts trackside content from FD race weekends. He shares about how he discovered drifting and his early days in the sport. He and Scotto talk about the current state of drifting and some ways to help see the sport grow and gain a larger audience in the U.S. They talk about the early days of drifting when it was in its infancy and just beginning. Scotto and Gregg even manage do a deep dive on their favorite aftermarket wheels and what it is that makes the “perfect” wheel. Gregg also shares about a really influential person in his life who meant so much to him and how the loss of that person has inspired him to keep going. The guys also spend some time talking about grief and loss of a close friend and how learning to process those experiences has brought comfort and new perspective. It’s a really great conversation! We hope you enjoy it!

That’s right kids…this is happening! We’ve got Formula DRIFT legend Ryan Tuerck in the garage for this episode. He stopped by to chat about his final season in FD and what that’s meant to him as he looks forward. He and Scotto talk about the early days of drifting and how the passion of the early drivers was so integral in growing the sport into what it’s become today. They talk about the early years at Hoonigan and how so much of the content Tuerck was creating in those days really helped him to stand out as a great driver and drifter.. Ryan talks about the excitement he has to pursue rally racing and to do more hill climb events. He also shares the latest on what’s happening with 411 Works and the cool things happening at the shop. There’s even some old school BMX talk and how both guys grew up riding bikes in their hometowns. It’s a great conversation. We hope you enjoy it!

We’ve got the one and only Ron Zaras in the garage! Ron has an extensive background in rally racing in many forms. He’s a driver, has worked on rally race teams, is a huge ambassador of the sport and most importantly, he’s a fan himself. Scotto and Ron do a deep dive into all things rally racing. From the early days to how rally racing developed into an international motorsport, to the current state of rally in the US and where it may be headed in the future. They share some great stories of how they met and bonded over their love of rally racing and spent many years working on rally teams together. They talk about the tremendous influence Ken Block had on the growing popularity of rally racing over the years, how that was a major inspiration for the Gymkhana films and how that led to the development of the iconic Hoonicorn. They discuss their favorite drivers from their favorite eras. They also discuss what is holding rally back in its overall popularity in the US and how showcasing it at the X Games and various Rallycross events was a great start and how Ron’s new rally-focused brand Antilag is playing a part to promote the sport and culture. It’s a great conversation! Enjoy!

We’re happy to welcome Jonny Lieberman to the garage for this special episode! Jonny and Scotto go way back to their early journalism days and talk about how the birth of the automotive blog helped shape the way the auto industry is covered today. Jonny is a highly acclaimed writer and has worked for many notable publications including Autoblog, Jalopnik and Motor Trend. He has a truly unique perspective on the current state of automotive media and shares some great stories from his career in the industry. Scotto and Jonny also do a deep dive into the state of EV’s in the US, why the market seems to be cooling a bit and what the future may have in store for electric vehicles and their place in car culture. They also discuss how Cadillac is quietly making some great cars that don’t seem to get quite the attention they deserve. They discuss everything from their fondness for overlanding to their takes on performance EV’s and who’s doing them the best. Maybe Porsche..? It’s a great conversation! Enjoy!

This week we’re happy to welcome Alex Choi, making what he tells us is his ‘real’ podcast début whilst also being the youngest guest we’ve ever had on the show. Despite being a hugely well-known streamer and content creator (you may have come across some of his more notorious escapades online), he’s rarely given interviews, until now. Alex tells Scotto about his journey into being a ‘stringer’ and the world of automotive social media that he’s inhabited for a decade, and they get into the challenges along the way: from his complicated youth right up to the present, reconciling all the things he’s seen and believe us – it’s a lot! As for regrets? Well, he’s certainly got a few! Here he is to tell us everything. Enjoy!
CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains macabre themes and graphic detail of the aftermath of road traffic accidents and other incidents that Alex has witnessed in the course of his work. Discretion is advised.Partners:

“Don’t get it right; just get it running!” - words we could all stand to live by! This week we welcome David Freiburger, colossus of the automotive world who alongside Scotto, forms a mildly senior (sorry.. ‘Authoritative’ ! ) coalition of men yelling at clouds. Though you may know him best from his adventures with Roadkill alongside Mike Finnegan, David’s roots in the car world go back to magazines, with storied career chapters spent at the wheel of multiple titles. Making the jump to video, he put in time at MotorTrend and now, his own YouTube channel. In this hugely wide-ranging conversation, the gents litigate everything from the glory days of heavy metal (Dokken anyone?), to Drag Week and countless records and tales from the drag-strip, even including hearing damage. Crucially though, could David be the guest that finally causes the blind to see and the lame to walk? By which of course I mean poor Scotto, and his unfinished projects – dear Lord, we need a miracle! As ever, enjoy.

We know you love ‘em, you’ve asked and we’ve delivered – all the hottest takes in a 94 degree garage with no AC (scandalous working conditions I may add!). Grab a cold one and pull up a chair - Vinnie’s got his ball-peen hammer out and he’s taking requests. Really, don’t ask. Enjoy!

Whoa, dude! If it isn’t Off-Road Spicoli: the urban legend behind Urban Assault, king of the dirt and crown prince of the waves – Blake Wilkey! Arriving from his native San Diego with a warm smile and a glint in his eye, you just know this mystical rad-man has wild stories to relate. From his earliest days on the water, to his mechanical upbringing in the dirt, he found his way to mythic status when he turned his hand to building bugs (some of them, you may just have heard before!). Before long, that mischievous gleam in his eye landed upon his own city, and when Urban Assault exploded across the internet in 2016, his legend was as cemented as perhaps the most radical (..ok, nefarious) character in the automotive space. Now, he’s here to tell the full tale as well as his other antics, including the NORRA, Baja, his own brand Shreddy Lyfe and his latest diabolical creation…. the death boat? So! Turn on, tune in and drop out to this freestylin’, tube-wave-ridin’ conversation. As ever, enjoy!

Very Vehicular welcomes RJ de Vera! Each season we like to bring on a guest from inside the automotive industry whose position and experience helps us better understand the issues facing car culture, and while RJ is more than qualified in that regard, there’s more that he’s done… much more! He was a foundational part of the import scene in the 90s, working as a writer and photographer for Super Street before ascending to Editor at Large. He was the go-to guy on the scene consulting for a plethora of OEMs and brands looking to break off a little piece of the magic for themselves. He even had a role in a notable movie franchise - word to the wise is he’s still collecting residual checks for his on-screen role to this day. Trading the underground for a storied chapter in the corporate world (twelve years at 3M / Meguiars no less), he’s now taken his rightful place atop the mountain as Vice President of Marketing at SEMA. Of most interest to us though? He’s a fully paid-up, card-carrying car nerd, with extraordinary stories and an insight into car culture you won’t want to miss. Enjoy!

It’s the Battle of the Generations on Very Vehicular this week, as our three guests debate their views on car culture. Representing Gen X is your host, Scotto. In the tastefully grey (or is it green these days?) Millennial corner, it’s returning friend of the pod, Ron Zaras, and lastly, hoisting the flag for all of Gen Z, we’ve got newcomer Chaz Warren (@ChazzyDawg). Chazzy made his name in the world of film photography, where his visceral style found viral success on Instagram, his camera acting as a passport to a world of cars he’d only dreamed of being able to approach. Now, alongside working for big names in the industry, he’s set his sights on creating his own culture of photo-forward meets, where the old rules don’t apply, as he brings community to legions of young car worshippers, whether they’re toting analog or digital machinery. So whether you’re prehistoric; or barely old enough to sneak out of the house unhindered by your parents tracking you on Life360, find out what this unusual council makes of it all. Enjoy.

We’re joined this week by Jean Pierre Kraemer, of JP Performance, undoubtedly the biggest automotive YouTuber in Germany, and one of the most successful creators on the planet. He’s a TV star and celebrity, builder of hundreds of builds from the classic, to the electrified ultramodern and everything in between. Not just content to produce content (ha) he owns and runs no fewer than sixteen businesses, and his complex in his native Dortmund is droolworthy. There’s the workshop itself, a burger bar, a theater-style dyno and down the block, his very own Pace Car Museum, housing his own creations alongside a staggering assortment of motorsport and car culture’s most significant metal. If all this doesn’t leave you breathless to find out how he did it, what’s next and what he thinks of the US? Well there’s no hope for you – you’ll just have to listen! Enjoy.

Firing Order is BACK for Season 4 of Very Vehicular, and we’re bringing you an absolute heater of a first episode with veteran motoring journalist and podcaster Matt Farah (The Smoking Tire) as well as Our Cousin Vinny: Vin Anatra. If you’re new around here, the aim of the show is simple: to form a definite ranking (which definitely isn’t just the opinions of whichever three lovable idiots are on that particular week), and this week it’s the most overhyped hero cars, that you wish you’d never met! Our hosts have decades and decades (and dec—) of seat time between them across a plethora of automotive heroes: from the pedestrian (ha) to the decidedly exotic! Stay tuned, to find out which one will top the list. Enjoy.

Racing FIVE Cars up America’s Most Brutal Mountain with Betim Berisha and Steven Wetterau
This week we’re trying out something brand new: a Very Vehicular Showcase: PIKES PEAK SPECIAL Episode with Betim Berisha (of BBi Autosport) and Steve Wetterau! It’s a bit of an experiment but we wanted to take the time to explore a subject in a more involved way, bringing you closer to the action with more footage and images, and what better to kick off with than the mysticism of the Brutal Mountain itself: Pikes Peak International Hill Climb – the ‘Race to the Clouds! Our guests this week have done battle at the mountain for several years and faced unimaginable challenges, but this year… they’re not going back? Stay tuned as they explain it all. Enjoy!

For the final episode of season 3, Very Vehicular is delighted to present none other than TJ Hunt! Rolling up to the studio in a minty white V8 Vantage, with the all-time longest Very Vehicular episode record firmly in his sights, TJ hasn’t come to play, he’s here to win! In a departure from form, Scotto has the mic turned around on him as TJ unleashes his pent-up questions in desperate need of answers. This reverse interview has it all: origin stories, the dawn of YouTube, the art of growing a business (and what happens when you lose one!), love, loss and identity, even movies: it’s practical therapy, people! So unhook your phone (shout out, landline generation), slip out to grab some milk & cigarettes, do whatever you must - this episode is not to be missed! Most of all? As ever, enjoy.

Mike Burroughs is back… and he’s got some gripes! If you didn’t already know him from StanceWorks; or indeed for his legendary F40 and K-swapped 308 projects, you may remember Mike as one of our earliest guests alongside Ferrari expert Victoria Bruno. It seems only right to bring him back on and throw him the mic - he’s got some things to say! (Oh, and stop asking him when the F40 project will be done!). Apart from *cough* that project… Mike has plenty of other fascinating projects, and he even gives us a sneak peek of what’s in the pipeline. Beyond the metal, Scotto and Mike get borderline philosophical on this one, it’s a ripper. Enjoy!

Joining us this week on Very Vehicular we have Stephan Papadakis! From his earliest beginnings in the SoCal RC hobby scene, to his record-shattering years as a legendary figure of the drag racing world, arriving on the mountain top as race team owner and all-around engineering wizard, we find out: is there anything Steph Papadakis can’t do? Scotto gets the deep backstory on the game-changing FWD drag cars that shattered records (first into the 9s!) and how those cars came to be. It’s a tale stranger than fiction! We find out all about Steph’s move into drifting - again, innovating, taking names and shaking things up. Of course, there’s always time left over to opine on the state of motorsports, youtube, takeovers, and what’s next for Stephan. Enjoy!

It’s time for a change up and after exploring several Top 5 lists, we thought it was high time to settle the WORST modding trends of the last decade. Who better to find the definitive ranking than Zack Klapman of The Smoking Tire and returning deviant and partner in mischief Mister Zachary (Zac Mertens). This episode may hold the record for the most censorship beeps ever featured on the show in its entire run to date (and yes.. Producer Nick did cry in legal many times) but to get the full skinny, go check out the Patreon - you never know what you’ll hear over there. For now, time to find out if you are one of the modding elite, or a common style criminal. Only Firing Order has the answers - enjoy!

Firing Order is BACK for its first outing in season 3 and this week we’ve got Chris Stewart, co-founder of GRIDLIFE and all-round track sensei RonCar, aka Ron Zaras, founder of AntiLag here to join Scotto in debating the Top Five Budget Track Day Cars! Don’t worry, as you’ve come to love and expect: there are tangents-a-plenty and while an objective ranking (clearly, not the work of “three idiots”) may eventually be reached, they take their sweet time battling it out on their way there. Meanwhile, Scotto… well, I think Scotto just wants to found a neo-vintage racing class? Grab your helmets and spare tires, we’re off to the track, baby!

For those of you who appreciate our more, shall we say ‘free form’ episodes? This one’s for you! Get ready for ADHD-fuelled tangent after tangent, curve after curve in an extended conversational touge stage that is as thrilling as it is prolific. This time? No-one’s making it out alive! Nads tries his level best to get cancelled, Producer Nick realises he may need a more robust command of criminal law, and Scotto is in a blissful realm of his own, having created another patented Scotto-fied format with “What Did You Bring to a Picnic? - The Podcast!” (coming soon, I both fear and do not doubt). Exhales - ok, you’re just going to have to listen for yourselves… if you dare! Enjoy.

FIRING ORDER is back! This time in the hot seats we’ve got two certifiable JDM wizards in the house: Mickey Andrade and Jon Naderi alongside Scotto, to battle it out and establish the definitive list of the TOP 5 JDM Tuning Companies. They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and while we promise we tried to keep this show on the rails and under two hours, clearly we can’t help ourselves, you lucky buggers! Alright then, you rowdy lot, gather round, sit quietly now and bear witness to this exhibition match of pure geekery. It’s a ripper, enjoy!

Another highly-requested guest this week on VERY VEHICULAR, we’re happy to welcome Jon Chase! You probably know him from his Hoonigan days as a designer and the creative force behind much of the merchandise but there are depths to Jon that are revealed in this highly flowing and tangential conversation. If it’s one of those never-ending ADHD fever dreams you seek, you won’t be disappointed – you’ve been warned! It’s a masterpiece of the genre, even by Scotto’s standards. The guys manage to cover everything from seeking tangible offline experiences; to the scourge of AI (particularly choice language is used!) and of course, it would be remiss not to tell some never-heard war stories from the days of Power Tour. I’d say this episode has it all but they barely even got started: we’ll have to bring Jon back for part two! Enjoy.

Scotto’s been threatening it for a good while.. and it’s FINALLY HERE! Presenting the first ever episode of this brand new show: FIRING ORDER! The concept is simple: Scotto and returning friends Vin Anatra and Ron Zaras fight it out to make the definitive (definitely not subjective!) list of the Top 5 Driver’s Cars, Post 2000. They’ve each done their homework and brought a list of five cars. However! Only two cars from each list can move forward to the final round. The group has to argue.. I mean – decide! – which cars make the cut and enter the final 6. Finally, the group has to choose together which car gets cut, then the list is ranked to give the definitive Top Five! Stay tuned to the end for the big reveal! Enjoy.
