Hello Road

Let's recap all of the great Hello Road things that happened in 2019, and talk about what we have planned for 2020! More guests, more unique topics, and maybe a Hello Road Rally? Come join us!

Let's talk about all of the cool stuff we saw at the Radwood SoCal 80s/90s car show! Murdered out VW Dasher! Torgenson EXP! Third gen Camaros! Mitsubishi Expo! Ford Contour SVT! And lots more!

The Radwood Socal 80s/90s car show is tomorrow! Ethan is still trying to figure out which of his weird 80s/90s cars to bring, and Paul has some issues with his Daihatsu! We also kick off the episode offering our opinions on the recent debuts at the LA Auto show. Come join us!

Q&A time! We take your great questions and come up with our usual weird answers! Let's talk Laforzas! And Bertone Freeclimbers! And Toyota Previa overlanders! And Hyundai Accent rally cars! Come join us.

Let's talk about the state of our project cars! Ethan is finally going to have the brakes fixed on his Pontiac Turbo Grand Prix, and Paul will once again repaint the hood on his Daihatsu. Paul recaps his visit to the I Heart Honda Show, laments not being at SEMA, and talks about how much fake blood he was covered with at a recent GWAR concert! And Ethan tells us why he was dressed up like a giraffe in a pinball museum. Come join us!

Today we talk about oddball race cars! Yes, a factory backed Dodge Stratus race team once existed! The dutch built, belt-driven DAF once dominated rally stages in the late 60s! We talk about the plans for the now-dead Liam Nissan, and Ethan talks about his latest press car, a 2020 Kia Soul GT Line. Come join us!

Automotive journalist Derek Powell returns! Today we talk about his travels to St Tropez to drive the McLaren GT, a thrilling trip in a glass bottomed helicopter in the rain, a Citroen museum in the middle of nowhere, and his experience driving the Ferrari F8 Tributo on Fiorano Circuit. We then switch gears from Marinello to Malaise and talk about Derek's affinity for the malaise-era automobiles of the 70s. Come join us! 

In today's episode, we're glad to have automotive journalist Steven Ewing (CNET Roadshow) back in the studio! Today we talk Nissan GT-R Nismo, racing a Subaru WRX STI up the Shelsley Walsh hill climb, and how everyone needs to go to Goodwood Revival. Come join us!

It's guest time! Today we're joined by automotive journalist, Mopar enthusiast, new car reviewer, and dog lover Elana Scherr. We talk ramp trucks, car breakdowns, art school, drag racing, writing, and her new YouTube channel. Come join us!

Let's do another Q&A episode! Let's talk about our craziest car breakdown stories, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, car naming, fixing Liam Nissan (our 24 Hours of Lemons racecar), Radwood LA and more. Come join us!

It's time for another Q&A episode! Let's talk about 80s Hyundais, importing cars from Europe (Renault Avantime!), the "boring" cars of Instagram, and a little history of the Liam Nissan 24 Hours of Lemons racecar. Come join us!

What car brand would you bring back from the dead, and why? Pontiac? Oldsmobile? Geo? Eagle? Packard? Saturn? Scion? Today Ethan and Paul talk about the brands that they would like to see make a comeback, and what their brand new 2020 model lineup would look like. Come join us!

We're fans of slow cars. Today we talk about driving slow cars fast, and what might make them more fun to drive than a fast car. Ethan also received his first ever press car this week—a 2020 Kia Telluride SX, so let's also talk 3-row SUVs! Come join us.

There were so many great questions from our listeners last week that we are coming at you with another Q&A episode! Let's talk about Geo Storm Wagonbacks, childhood poster cars, the best new cars under $30k that come with a manual transmission, and a lot more. Come join us.

It's time for the first ever Hello Road Q&A episode. Let's talk Yugos, Nova Twin Cams, old Corollas, and beer! Thanks to everyone that submitted questions, they were thought provoking and fun to answer. We only got through half the questions, so we'll post a bonus episode with the rest later this week. 

This week Ethan and Paul share a few stories from memorable road trips they've had. Paul takes us through his journey to Wall Drug in South Dakota, and Ethan recounts the gray-hair inducing trek through the Vail Pass in a rental Kia Optima. Come join us!

Let's talk about future collectibles—cars from the last 10 years that we think will be "Hello Road approved" classics a couple decades from now. Given our unusual taste in cars, it's not likely these choices will be worth much in the future, but they will certainly have their own unique story to tell. Come join us!

The past week has been a series of ups and downs of car-related emotions! Ethan got his rare Geo running again, crashed a Mustang Ecoboost rental, finally sold his big stupid truck, and still has his awful Prius. Paul's new wheels and tires for his Daihatsu turn out to be garbage. We laugh, we cry, come join us! 

Automotive journalists Manuel Carrillo III and Steven Ewing join us to talk about some of their most memorable automotive experiences (including driving the Honda Mean Mower and piloting a Subaru WRX STI on the Nurburgring during a torrential downpour), how they got their start in the auto industry, and their approach to writing about cars. Come join us! 

Today Ethan and Paul come up with ideas for epic road trips, cost no object. Ethan keeps it close to home, with plans to explore the west coast of the United States but with a catch—a different car perfectly suited for each leg of the trip. Paul takes us on his dream tour of Japan, stopping at iconic Japanese race tracks, and traversing the countryside in unique JDM rides. Come join us!
