Another Pointless Automotive Podcast

The dudes kick back and partake in some good old fashioned car talk with Kennan Rolsen of Cars & Bids and the Doug Demuro YouTube channel fame. A man of excellent automotive tastes and a glutton for punishment, we discuss all sorts of nonsense surrounding V8 powered Euro cars, most of which are actively trying to make Kennan sad and destitute. How is it to review cars with Doug? How hasn'...

The boys face some hard truths this week by laying out their fleets and all the required work to make them operational again. Will Frank drown in the Porsche 924 swap of sorrow? How much can Chadwick defend his car hoarding issues by claiming slight progress each week? Tune in to see if any actual project progress will occur. 

This week the dudes are here to hurdy your gurdy, and get into another automotive grudge match... Swedish style! Volvo and Saab are two of the most interesting and storied brands in the history of the automobile. So what would happen if these two Swedish Titans battled it out head to head? Which OEM made the better wagon? Better engine? Which one can out Weirdness the other? Will Trollhatten win,...

Some of our favorite vehicles are actually the amalgamation of various model's parts. In truth, most vehicles are not completely comprised of bespoke parts. Parts bin specials sometimes get a bad rap, and we're here to set the record straight and prove once and for all... that parts bin specials are more than the sum of their parts. 

Your two favorite automotive clowns kick back and have a loose chat about what makes older cars great: features! Some are actual features like T-tops and vent windows while others are more tied into the age of the vehicle itself. Come hang with us as we talk about our love of old buckets.

The fellas sit down to chat about one of their all time favorite, but often forgotten about cars... the Mitsubishi Galant VR-4. With only 3000 units being sold in the states for the model years 1991 and 1992, the Galant VR-4 is one rare homologation special. So why isn't it worth a fortune? Seriously, someone tell us. We need to know.

Automakers can't churn out only hits... a miss is sure to some off the assembly line at one point or another. In this episode, the boys find these weaknesses and perform critical hits by bringing these low points to light. What's a greater distress signal from an automaker... transitioning to a re-badging operation or massive recalls? Tune in to find out.

Back for a third round is one of the fellas favorite pointless automotively tangent games... Automotive Would You Rather? Once again, no holds are barred... literally anything and everything is on the table for this round. Will you be able to stomach a Ferrari F50 with infant skin leather? Or how about living with seat warmers set to max that are unable to be shut off? There are no winners. Enjoy!

We tend to spend most of our time here on the pod talking more about cars and less about trucks. In this episode, the fellas aim to balance that out a bit by talking all things truck. Should mini-trucks make a comeback? Are all the best SUVs 2dr SUVs? Listen along for an hour long truck session.

The manual transmission, a dying breed. This is not a regurgitated fake news propaganda piece, it's a legitimate endangered species deserving out attention. The boys shine a much deserved spotlight on modern vehicles (for sale in the year 2023) that can still be optioned with this enthusiast prerequisite. 

There are countless examples throughout automotive history where a vehicle is mostly only good because of a great engine. What about the inverse of that? The homies sit down and talk over various examples of cars that are good, even through they are saddled with a sub-par engine. Do you have a great car with a boat anchor of a powerplant? Follow along to see if your junker made this list!

Special guests Brad and Andrew of Auto Off Topic fame (or infamy) sit down with the boys and share their personal car backgrounds, current fleets, and in the end discover that we are truly kindred spirits in our absolutely exemplary automotive tastes. We've been fans of thed podcast for some time and now it's a true honor to have them as guests. 

The fellas put on their grown up pants and have some measure of accountability while defining what a daily driver vehicle should be. They then immediately relapse and defend their own personal daily driver plans which have changed for both of them in the past couple of weeks. At least they made an effort to do some adulting. 

Ever have a jingle from a commercial become ingrained in your mind? The boys have experienced this with various automotive commercials and elect to recount them on this very "touching" episode. Some are memorable for both horridness of the ad and the vehicle, while others are absolutely brilliant films in their own rights. Is your favorite iconic car commercial featured on our lists?

The fellas present their current fleet rosters and then poorly attempt to justify their hoarding tendencies. This episode goes deep into the psyche of a car "collector" in an attempt to draw out the underlying cause for this often financially unstable habit. Is there help needed, or is this healthy? 

Ever hear stories about how some star actor or actress was nearly passed over and not cast in what would end up being their iconic, career defining roll? TV and movie cars are some of our very favorite stars of the screen. Like Nick Cage nearly being cast as Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, we discuss swapping out various film or television vehicles with some highly questionable replaceme...

In another OEM royal rumble, the dudes pit a pair of Japanese heavyweights against each other in Toyota vs. Honda. Will the Camry or Accord win the battle of the midsized? What's the better 1990s Godzilla, the NSX or the MKIV Supra? What's more important, trucks or bikes?! Follow along and give us your thoughts on whom the better builder is.

On today's podcast, the boys polish some turds. Automotive turds... not actual fecal mater. We felt it necessary to clear that up, as both cars and poop are common topics on this program. Anyhow... some cars are just born uncool. Can the fellas present solutions to make them cool? Who will recommend underglow the most times? Tune in to find out friends. 

Who isn't a fan of the odd and quirky features all too rarely equipped on historical automobiles? The boys surely are. On this captivating episode, the fellas detail some select odd features and present a case for their return, possibly even becoming commonplace features. Tune in as we encourage these feature oddities into selling out and quitting the counter culture. 

The Infiniti marque has been ignored by buyers, automotive media, and Nissan themselves for far to long... and it shows. The dudes sit down and share each other's poorly constructed ideas on how to attempt to breathe some life into this OEM's weathered and desiccated corpse. Will Chadwick cook up a new flagship for Infiniti before the sun sets on this moribund brand? Will Frank double do...

After pouring over both the well executed video and print version of Hagerty's Bull Market 2023 vehicle list, the boys do what they do best... they find dollar store versions of the featured cars. Always pointless and also always thrifty, how will the fellas' extra budget minded (and potentially poor investment) options pan out? 

The dudes sit back with a couple of Haterade tall boys in hand, thusly a deep dive discussion ensues regarding which cars receive more hate than they truly deserve from the greater automotive world. After crushing that can on their foreheads, they gear up and sit down to talk which cars don't get ENOUGH hate from that same automotive enthusiast community. If you're down for some poorly c...

Welcome to the party 2023, buckle-up buttercup. The fellas join forces with the almighty Magic 8 Ball in an attempt to pointlessly forecast the upcoming year whilst relating to automotive themes as best they can. Will Frank score a shaken, not stirred Aston Martin? Will Chadwick be featured on Hoarders for his ever growing car fleet? Tune in to probably not find out. 

In this year-ending episode, we overtake the year 2022 as it casually goes 5 mph under in the fast lane. Rather than road-rage out, we somewhat calmly reflect on the year and recall some of our fondest automotive related memories. Join us in sending off the year 2022 whilst welcoming on bent knew our new calendar overlord, the year 2023. All hail 2023!

Special Guests Bid Nerds join the fellas for an automotive market value heavy conversation. A conversation that is also quite heavy in questionable humor... but you already knew that. Tune in and find out if the Bid Nerds got stumped by the Automotive Print Ad Quiz... or crushed it. "Get those nerds!"
