Very Vehicular

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. If it’s one of those never-ending ADHD fever dreams you seek, you won’t be disappointed – you’ve been warned! It’s a masterpiece of the genre, even by Scotto’s standards. The guys manage to cover everything from seeking tangible offline experiences; to the scourge of AI (particularly choice language is used!) and of course, it would be remiss not to tell some never-heard war stories from the days of Power Tour. I’d say this episode has it all but they barely even got started: we’ll have to bring Jon back for part two! Enjoy.

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. They’ve each done their homework and brought a list of five cars. However! Only two cars from each list can move forward to the final round. The group has to argue.. I mean – decide! – which cars make the cut and enter the final 6. Finally, the group has to choose together which car gets cut, then the list is ranked to give the definitive Top Five! Stay tuned to the end for the big reveal! Enjoy.

This week VERY VEHICULAR welcomes JR Hildebrand: Race Driver and Veteran of THAT Indy 500 Crash back in 2011. Scotto and JR get philosophical as they break down the maybes and what-ifs they’ve each encountered through the many forks in life’s road. Mainly though, they’re here to figure out the answer to motorsports’ entertainment problem. Drawing from his deep well of experience behind the wheel, JR’s manifesto for setting racing ‘off’ rather than on the straight and narrow is compelling. Scotto, as ever, brings both a viewer’s and a director’s eye to bear on the problem at hand, because at the end of the day, don’t we all deserve to be entertained? Enjoy!

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 borders: geographically and ethically. Pull up your stool and eavesdrop on these two masters of masochism as they devise a road-trip for the ages that promises torture for all your favourite characters, wanton destruction of personal and public property… and maybe even some bathtub crystal m*th? Make sure your will is up to date and follow the devil’s own road, where cell signal ends.. and mischief begins. Enjoy!

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 parents knowing, and maybe, just maybe… you’ll run into a couple of charming renegades out in those dark streets. Tales of their exploits vanish like hot exhaust fumes on the cold night air. Their names? Scotto and Suppy. Enjoy!
