Hello Road

We're baaaaack from our podcasting hiatus! Today let's chat about the status of our car projects! Ethan is still just an idiot with too many cars. How many of them are currently running? Paul has been addicted to tracking his Honda Fit, but is there another car on the horizon for him? Let's find out! Also, sorry about the audio quality, Ethan is also an idiot when it comes to recording, the wrong audio input was selected for his microphone. Whoops :)

Hey! We're on our 50th episode! Congrats us! Today we're glad to have auto journalist Peter Nelson (CarBibles, Donut Media) join us. Let's chat about the Car Bibles site, writing about cars, and tracking a 100 horsepower Mazda2!

In today's episode, we're glad to have automotive journalist Steven Ewing (CNET Roadshow) join us again! Somehow we managed to only talk about things that begin with the letter M. Miatas, McLarens, Minivans, Mid-Engined Cars, and the new Ford Maverick. Come join us!

Today we talk about the fantastic highs and punishing lows of car ownership! Paul’s Honda Fit suffered severe suspension damage due to a gargantuan pothole, but he eventually got it all sorted out! Ethan’s purple ’97 Ford Probe GT has exhibited all sort of problems since he bought it, but now it's possible the final nail has been placed in its coffin. Listen to find out what happened!

Special guest time! Lane Skelton and Art Cervantes from Radwood join us! We talk all about their new car auction site Rad For Sale, our car projects, kei car rallies, Ford Probes, and more!

The automobile has been around for 135 years! Let's make the tough decision to determine what is the all time best decade for cars!

Today we have a special guest! Friend of the podcast Adam Hove joins us to talk about road rallies! From our earliest memories of the Cannonball Run movies to organized road rallies on California's amazing canyon roads.

It's time for another Q&A! So many great questions this time around. We talk about retro styling, looking to the future with EVs, our love for cars of the 80s and 90s, our favorite music, a battle between sport compacts of the early 2000s, and more! Come join us.

In today's episode, Bradley Brownell returns! Let's talk about Autopia 2099, a new kind of car show that looks to the future. The show is all about electrified fun with a retro-future twist. Electric, plug-in, and hybrid cars, trucks, motorcycles, and mobility devices paired with the vibe of Buck Rogers, atomic age, world’s fair, Eames chair, mid-mod, ray gun type stuff. Come join us!

We're baaaaack! In today's episode we talk about how Ethan has some additional cars in his driveway, including a 1995 Mitsubishi Pajero! Paul contemplates the possibility of selling the Daihatsu. And we talk about the many reasons why we own and love old cars.

Today let's talk about the two most recent cars that Ethan purchased via online auction, a 1994 Lexus GS300 and a 1999 Acura Integra! Was it a good idea? Probably not, but that won't likely keep Ethan from doing it again! Let's talk about the pros and cons. Mostly cons! We also talk about the fun driving roads just outside of Los Angeles. Come join us!

The impossible has happened—Paul is thinking about selling his Daihatsu! Can it be? Listen to find out why. We also talk project cars, and how sometimes the small projects are often the most rewarding. Ethan made some simple updates to his 944 Turbo and Ford Probe GT, and Paul is continuing to update his Honda Fit. Paul also tells us about his experience taking his Honda Fit to the race track.

And while we're on the topic, let's also choose the worst car from a dead brand! Plymouth Neons, Pontiac Azteks, Plymouth Prowlers, Pontiac Trans Sports, AMC Eagles, and more. Knowing our weird taste in cars, you might not be able to guess which we think are the best and which we think are the worst.
