Welcome back to Season 2 of VERY VEHICULAR! To kick things off, we’ve got Rob Dahm in the studio: creator of the world’s first AWD 4-Rotor RX7 and all-round mad scientist! He and Scotto nerd out so hard they break the record for the longest episode of the pod to date (we know you degenerates love the long ones, so we deliver)! In an epically neurodivergent battle of the tangents, who will emerge victorious? Will Scotto finally find the help he needs to whittle down the fleet? Will Rob set a track record at Laguna Seca? If a car can stick to the ground… could it stick to a wall? Stick around to find out - enjoy!  @RobDahm @BrianScotto  @321ActionAction Partners: Vyper Industrial FCP Euro Heatwave Visual Toyo Tires Producer: Nick Rutter @nickrutterarts Music: SlikSound  Patreon: https://patreon.com/u37266647 https://bio.site/321actionaction [email protected] 00:00 - Introducing Rob Dahm: The Mad Scientist of Cars 02:24 - YouTube Build Escalation: Rob’s Fault? 02:47 - Sponsors: Vyper Industrial, Toyo Tires, Heat Wave 05:18 - Rob's Engineering Background and Early Projects 13:08 - Building or Driving? 15:22 - Bedroom Car Posters & the Guinness World Records Book 18:18 - Going for the Laguna Seca Track Record 19:23 - Buying a Haul of Cosworth Engines 25:30 - Explaining the 12 Rotor 29:43 - The 4 Rotor - Rob’s Magnum Opus 30:40 - Rob Burn Yard Story 31:55 - Scotto: Jealous of Rob’s Content & Journey? 36:20 - Rob: I Loved being doubted 40:41 - Gymkhana 7: the Hollywood Sign and the White House 44:23 - Sponsor: FCP Euro 46:55 - Rob Pitches Scotto on Making a Film with his Skunkworks Project 51:23 - The Axe Parable: Are You Unique or Useful? 53:20 - Getting the Inside Scoop on Suction from McMurtry 58:23 - Hoonigan Economics & Mötley Crüe 1:19:39 - Downforce and the Future of Motorsports 1:29:24 - Rob: Every Day to me Feels like YouTube is Over 1:33:04 - Check out the Patreon! 1:35:16 - Illegal plates and Kojima: the Suspension Jedi Master 1:44:03 - Rob’s Xperimental Plans and the Crazy Uncle Role 2:03:04 - Cars & Noise 2:07:51 - Rob: The End of an Era of Chasing Performance 2:12:04 - Possible Ford Collab Incoming 2:17:24 - The Ford 9” Origin Story 2:19:21 - Scotto Needs Helps Downsizing the Fleet (again) 2:37:34 - A Mishap at Cleetus’ Place 2:42:52 - The Original Wankel Engine 2:44:53 - Breaking the Record - Longest VV Pod Ever

It’s the Season 1 Finale for VERY VEHICULAR! Here to bookend the season is none other than Vin Anatra, full of plans for the future, tales of woe about his 360 (apparently it hates being blue!) and of course, it wouldn’t be a patented Scotto convo if there weren’t a generous dose of tangents, shit-talking and taking each other to task. Scotto needs serious help downsizing his fleet: could Vinnie be the man for the job? You never know, you may even get to watch this drama play out on screen in future. Stay tuned to hear about their future plans and of course, thanks to you for listening and watching this first season of the pod. It’s been a mad dash from start to finish now, and without all of you and the sponsors, this show wouldn’t exist.

Scotto sits down with multi-hypenate-career superstar Emelia Hartford, joined by cinematographer Will Roegge in his second appearance on Very Vehicular! If you expected car chat…? They eventually get around to it; but not before figuring out their fixes for Hollywood and car action, sharing their favourite ‘popcorn’ movies, and giving us a glimpse of what may be to come on these three’s slates. With these three involved, who knows where the road could take us? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Today in the studio we’re joined by James Pumphrey! Whether you know him from his days at Donut or his new channel Speeed, there’s more than meets the eye, as Scotto discovers ‘The Real James Pumphrey’. They compare notes on their days as YouTube rivals and tell us what they make of the content world these days, as well as exploring the ethos behind James’ plans with Speeed, and why “Mr. Beast Sucks” ! So kick back and hang with these two VW nerds as they plot their takeover of the movie world.

Take your seats for this Fiery, Ferarri-flavored Face-off! In the red corner, fresh out of her oily-black Testarossa, we’ve got newcomer Victoria Bruno (@MotoriBruno), a vintage Ferrari mechanic on the rise. In the (other) red corner, none other than one of the most controversial builders today: Mike Burroughs (StanceWorks)! His 308 and F40 Frankenstein creatures are the stuff of exquisite nightmare! So gather round! Watch as these two duke it out: purism versus modding, each getting their jabs in. Scotto acts as not-so-reluctant referee and third member to this particularly unholy Ferrari owners club. Who will triumph? You’ll have to watch to find out!  @MotoriBruno @StanceWorks @BrianScotto  @321ActionAction Partners: Vyper Industrial FCP Euro Heatwave Visual Toyo Tires Producer: Nick Rutter @nickrutterarts Music: SlikSound  Patreon: https://patreon.com/u37266647 https://bio.site/321actionaction [email protected] 00:00 - Welcome & Introduction 01:21 - Sponsors: Vyper Industrial, Toyo Tires, Heat Wave 03:00 - The Unholy Ferrari Owners Club 05:05 - Italian Heritage and Family Mob Ties 05:59 - What is Blasphemy when it comes to Ferraris? 08:42 - Victoria’s Journey: From Waitressing to Ferrari Mechanic 15:45 - Mike’s Background: BMW Roots and Stanceworks 17:15 - Creative Outlets: Why Nothing is Sacred 18:30 - The Legacy and Craftsmanship of Ferrari 20:29 - Have Ferrari Sent Mike a Cease & Desist Yet? 42:35 - The Influence of Magnum PI and Ferris Bueller 45:49 - Sponsor: FCP Euro 47:07 - The Value of Ferraris 49:57 - Top Ferraris of All time 1:05:00 - The Case for Preservation 1:10:32 - Mods: Once You Start, Where Do You Stop? 1:27:11 - Banned from FerrariChat (FChat) 1:38:46 - F40 Build Update: Chassis and Gearbox Progress 1:52:40 - Finding Common Ground? 2:02:19 - Brian’s Ferrari Wheel Incident 2:09:08 - If You Had to Choose a Ferrari to Modify 2:23:06 - Challenge!

Scotto takes both Danger Dan and Mister Zachary captive this Christmas eve, thrusting them into the proverbial hotseat on the VERY VEHICULAR HOLIDAY SPECIAL! As you’d expect, they get into some memories from the OG days of Hoonigan as well as fill us in on what mayhem they’re up to lately. If you listen closely, you might even hear the whisperings of … a possible reunion? Stay tuned, and Happy Holidays!  @DangerDan3 @MadDecentRacing @Mister_Zachary @MISTERZACHARY @BrianScotto  @321ActionAction Eggnogg Clip: @Skippy62Able E36 nerds look here  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_3_Series_(E36) @TheQualifiedCaptain Partners: Vyper Industrial FCP Euro Heatwave Visual Toyo Tires Producer: Nick Rutter @nickrutterarts Music: SlikSound  https://bio.site/321actionaction [email protected] 00:00 - Welcome to the Holiday Special 01:25 - Sponsors: Vyper Industrial, Toyo Tires, Heat Wave 03:54 - Coalmaro: The Project That Burned Us Out 07:11 - Firing Order - Ranking Favourite Hoonigan Builds 13:01 - The G35 and Popping Your Hood Cherry 18:59 - Shit Car, Knuckle Busters, and Drift Mishaps 28:07 - The Four Garage Solution: Pole Barns & Mezzanines 32:53 - Work-Life Balance & All-Nighters at Hoonigan 34:52 - Holiday Wishes & New Projects 36:57 - Boating, Burnouts, and The Qualified Captain 45:01 - Burnyard, Burnout Wars, and SEMA Stories 56:03 - Australian Burnout Culture & Building a Sport 01:00:51 - Drift Appalachia & Backroads Adventures 01:15:07 - Car Projects, Power Builds, and Unfinished Business 01:29:22 - The Next Big Trip: Elements of Danger? 01:35:15 - Wrap-Up & Holiday Farewell

This week Very Vehicular welcomes Ex-Hoonigan superstar personality and all-round character: Hert. He’s ready to set the record straight on stories from the Hoonigan days, he relives the horror of jumping (and capsizing) an ATV in the desert, the joys of working with T-Pain, and naturally, gives Scotto as much s**t as you’d hope for. Finally, they litigate their ranking for the top builds at Hoonigan in Firing Order.

In Very Vehicular’s first ever SPECIAL EPISODE, Scotto dives deep with Will Roegge: the talented cinematographer on Gymkhana: Aussie Shreds. They go into their shared history on the Gymkhana films from the Hoonigan days, the development and evolution of the series’ aesthetic and camera work, and the process of the latest film from ideation to release. Along the way, they share plenty of behind-the-scenes stories from the set and where they’re headed in the world of movies.

In the first ever episode of Very Vehicular, Scotto reunites with the OG Ballast Boys: Ron Zaras & Vin Anatra as they reminisce together on their misadventures from the glory days; and catch up on what’s been going on for them in their post-Hoonigan lives. They break down their hottest takes on the state of YouTube and current car culture, reveal new projects, and of course, get into a classic argument in the inaugural edition of Firing Order as they rank their top Hoonigan Builds.
