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. Enjoy!

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!

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. Enjoy!

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. Enjoy!

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!
