Very Vehicular

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 th...

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 busine...

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 .

Mentioned...

Scotto gets the deep backstory on the game-changing FWD...

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.

This episode may hold the record for the most censorship beeps ever featured on the show in it...

Guess who’s in town for Formula Drift, rolling up in that distinctive orange Murciélago? Why it’s ADAM LZ of course!

This week we’ve got something a little different for you. 4/3 Day, in memory of Ken Block , is around the corner, so Scotto decided to dedicate this solo episode to sharing some personal stories and memories of Ken. It’s also a little taster of what’s coming up on 4/3 day itself. In case you hadn’t heard about it yet, there will be a special 4/3 day event on YouTube from Block House Racing HQ, whe...

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 our...

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.

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.

This week VERY VEHICULAR welcomes JR Hildebrand : Race Driver and Veteran of THAT Indy 500 Crash back in 2011.

Mainly though, they’re here to figure out the answer to motorsports’ entertainment problem. Drawing from his deep well of experience behind the wheel,...

Comin’ in HOT! There’s long been talk of an OG Hoonigan Reunion, so here for your chemically-adulterated viewing and listening pleasure, It’s Mister Zachary ! Strap in for a no-holds-barred, questionably-legal rapid-fire creative meeting with Scotto on this week’s episode of Very Vehicular ! All bets are off as the pod deviates from the road and heads into uncharted territory – jumping over border...

You’ve all been asking, and we’re delighted to deliver. It’s none other than fellow Hoonigan OG: Suppy ! But quiet a sec, hush now, can you hear that out your bedroom window? Why, it’s the far-off bark and whine of backstreet-tuned Hondas out on the Francis Lewis Blvd. The year is 1999. Careful now, if you can keep your head down, and mouth shut, ‘youse might just be able to sneak out without your...

It’s a pork Porsche- fest this week on VERY VEHICULAR ! Scotto is joined by Betim Berisha (of BBi Autosport) and returning friend and regular: Vin Anatra, still licking the fresh wounds of having sold his GT3 RS.

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!

In an epically neurodivergent battle of the tangents, who will emerge...

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...

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…?
