Blake BZR Rong returns alongside friend of Hooniverse Jonathon Klein to deliver an on-the-road podcast. The pair are attending a press event in Utah and they decided to sit down and chat about all things automotive. Well, first they make fun of Chris and I and then they get to talking about cars.. eventually.

Regardless, they're funny and you should listen.

Josh Ostrander joins Chris Hayes and Jeff Glucker on this episode of the podcast. We're recording at 4 Sons Brewing once again, and we have a few things to talk about. Josh still enjoys his boring Alltrack. Chris still wants to sell his Fiesta. I still need to fix things on my Benz.

Also I drove an Aston Martin DB11 AMR, and I can't tell you how that went just yet. But go look at the released specs compared to the current DB11 V12, and read the press release to see the changes and you'll have a good idea of what's going on there.

Finally, we dive into some questions before I cut them off to talk negatively about someone else... for good reason.

I'm solo. Not Solo. Though that would be fun...

This is a solo episode, and today I'm talking about my two Benz project cars. The one that drives and the one that doesn't. After that it's question time, and we have plenty of those to run though. We'll cover everything from project cars, more thoughts on what Ford is doing, and maybe even talk a bit about beer.

Hit play and enjoy Episode 248.

Patrick Costello joins me on this episode of the podcast and we walk about automotive television. He's an Executive Producer for Truck Night in America and we worked together on Top Gear US (when it was still good, on the History channel). So we wanted to talk a bit about what goes into making a show, why other shows don't work, and what we do like out of certain shows.

After that we dive into your questions. Also we're recording from a brewery - thanks again Four Sons Brewing!

Associate Video Producer Josh Ostrander joins me in an Infiniti QX60 as we drive to the other side of Los Angeles to see the new Avengers Infinity War film. Along the way, we talk about an old Mustang, Josh's new Volkswagen, my Benz wagon, Ford's no-more-cars decision, and a few other bits and pieces along the way.

We didn't crash. So thumbs up for that!

Jeff had to step out this week... something something I'm a father... something something daugter...  so I took the chance to meet up with Hooniverse regular Zack Klapman for a one-on-one catch up.  This week we cover the Long Beach Grand Prix, the recent passing of the "One Take" reigns to Zack and my deliberations on a new daily.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio has joined the party! I'm driving the Italian sports sedan this quick and so far *knock on wood* it hasn't broken down. That's amazing considering the car has done that for pretty much everyone else that's driven it.

Beyond that we talk a bit about Chris' upcoming potential car purchase, my Benz duo, and an upcoming loan of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.

After that it's question time, and as always, you folks have some good ones.

Elana Scherr, formally of Hot Rod and Roadkill, joins us in the podcast studio to talk all things car. She has a hell of a growing fleet on her hands, and we have to dive in and see what is going on with a handful of those rides. Most notable might be her 1970 Dodge Challenger, which has seen its 440 engine swapped out for a race-prepped 505.

After taking a deep dive into the world of too-many duallys and Mopar madness in different states of repair, it's time for your questions.

Friend of Hooniverse Jonathon Klein stops by to join us in the studio. We talk about some of the fast machines that Klein has driven lately, and that includes the Lamborghini Huracan Performante, Scarbo open-wheel vintage Ferrari tribute race car, and a few McLarens. After that I remind everyone that the new Jeep Wrangler is really good before we dive on into your questions.

Spoiler alert: the new Jeep Wrangler is good! The 2018 Chevy Silverado, however, isn't so great. What's also good is a Kia Stinger GT AWD that wears snow tires and is let loose on a winter driving course. Those are the main topics this week, but we also tackle your podcast questions.

Finally, we dip into some upcoming vehicles and then also try out a new segment at the end of the podcast. It's a talk about some photo/video/travel gear. This time around we cover the Wandrd Access duffel, Mavic Air, and some upgraded ear pads for the Audio-Technica ATH M50x headphones.
