Vaughn Gittin Jr. joins Mickey Andrade for one of the most raw and hilarious Full Throtl Podcast episodes yet. From nearly setting his lowrider on fire (and putting it out in the most unexpected way), to turning a beat-up S13 into a career that redefined drifting, Vaughn opens up about the grind behind building RTR, partnering with Ford, and what it really takes to turn passion into an empire.

They dive deep into Mustang culture, the myth of being “the next Carroll Shelby,” and how Vaughn’s “Ready To Rock” mindset became a lifestyle brand. This one’s filled with history, chaos, and controversy — especially when a GTR guy admits he might need a Mustang.
