  • Great show

    Only good Subaru podcast I could find besides one that ended 6 years ago and the audio quality is super poor. This is way better, I’m saving up to buy an 2000’s Impreza WRX Sport Wagon because of this show. I love Subaru and I hope that you guys continue this show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Look who's dialing in!
Q: Tell us about your background and how you got to where you are now.
Tyler shares a non-traditional but passionate path through automotive schooling, motor sports, and a progression from tool sales to a performance shop role, highlighting the importance of hands-on experience and a flexible skill set.
Boxerfest 2026
Q: What stood out most about Boxer Fest for you?
The convergence of community, sponsor presence, and the fan interactions, especially around the rally cars and the unique memorabilia moments.
Tech Reject
Q: Could Saab have saved Saab if they stuck with Subaru across generations?
It's a speculative scenario, but a Saab-branded premium version of a Subaru might have extended Saab's viability; however, ownership realignments and market forces ultimately limited that path.
Tech Reject
Q: Is there a risk with factory launch control on modern Subarus?
Yes, there are potential liabilities and warranty concerns, so many owners will rely on aftermarket solutions, which offer more flexible tuning without triggering strict factory controls.
Tech Reject
Q: What do you think about the VB platform and its reception by enthusiasts?
Enthusiasts have learned to tolerate and eventually embrace the VB due to real-world gains in power and durability, especially as they realize 400 horsepower is achievable without catastrophic failures, and value the balance between price, power, and tune-ability.
