  • 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.

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.
Holding the bag - 40's in a bag interview
Q: What are the biggest logistical hurdles for these events?
The guests describe venue selection, permits, insurance, safety protocols, and the costs of infrastructure like shade, water, roads, and parking as the core challenges that can make or break an event.
2nd Lap with Matt Gold, DAG Industries
Q: So the question to you, Matt, is what do you think Subaru should have built for Travis that people would have wanted to buy?
Make cars fast again, focusing on preserving that performance essence and delivering a modern interpretation of the brand's rally heritage.
