Summary

Welcome back to Season 2 of VERY VEHICULAR ! To kick things off, we’ve got Rob Dahm in the studio: creator of the world’s first AWD 4-Rotor RX7 and all-round mad scientist! He and Scotto nerd out so hard they break the record for the longest episode of the pod to date (we know you degenerates love the long ones, so we deliver)! In an epically neurodivergent battle of the tangents, who will emerge victorious? Will Scotto finally find the help he needs to whittle down the fleet? Will Rob set a track record at Laguna Seca? If a car can stick to the ground… could it stick to a wall? Stick around to find out - enjoy! @RobDahm @BrianScotto @321ActionAction Partners: Vyper Industrial FCP Euro Heatwave Visual Toyo Tires Producer : Nick Rutter @nickrutterarts Music : SlikSound Patreon : https://patreon.com/u37266647 https://bio.site/321actionaction [email protected] 00:00 - Introducing Rob Dahm: The Mad Scientist of Cars 02:24 - YouTube Build Escalation: Rob’s Fault? 02:47 - Sponsors: Vyper Industrial, Toyo Tires, Heat Wave 05:18 - Rob's Engineering Background and Early Projects 13:08 - Building or Driving? 15:22 - Bedroom Car Posters & the Guinness World Records Book 18:18 - Going for the Laguna Seca Track Record 19:23 - Buying a Haul of Cosworth Engines 25:30 - Explaining the 12 Rotor 29:43 - The 4 Rotor - Rob’s Magnum Opus 30:40 - Rob Burn Yard Story 31:55 - Scotto: Jealous of Rob’s Content & Journey? 36:20 - Rob: I Loved being doubted 40:41 - Gymkhana 7: the Hollywood Sign and the White House 44:23 - Sponsor: FCP Euro 46:55 - Rob Pitches Scotto on Making a Film with his Skunkworks Project 51:23 - The Axe Parable: Are You Unique or Useful? 53:20 - Getting the Inside Scoop on Suction from McMurtry 58:23 - Hoonigan Economics & Mötley Crüe 1:19:39 - Downf…
