Rad Rides Podcast Podcast

I’m a self taught builder, working out of my garage, who is in search of people like myself around the world. My podcast enters into the builders garage, highlights real people with real budgets and real skills that represent what you will see at a typical car show or cruise. I enjoy talking with these people and hearing the trials and tribulations of owning and customizing their special rides. Their stories and journey are what I want to know.

  1. Tokyo Drift Monte Carlo - Austin Bowers

    Tokyo Drift Monte Carlo - Austin Bowers

    In the world of movie cars, few vehicles are as instantly recognizable or as iconic as the 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. With its battle-scarred exterior and raw, unfiltered power, the Monte Carlo roared onto the screen as a symbol of old-school American muscle. Now, decades after the movie's release, Austin Bowers a dedicated car builder, has taken on the ambitious task of recreating this legendary street racer—down to every detail. A car that’s not built as an homage to the movie but something Austin is proud to drive and race all over the country.

  2. Dream Drive - Nate Emigh - 1992 Honda NSX

    Dream Drive - Nate Emigh - 1992 Honda NSX

    For Nate Emigh the promise of adventure filled the air as him and his wife prepared to embark on a journey that would take them across the United States in an untested 1992 NSX internet purchase. Its a car that Nate dreamed about after he saw one on a lot while he was a young dishwasher and he knew one day that car would be in his driveway. A cannonball run enthusiast, the NXS was symbol of Nate’s long-held dream, a dream of nostalgia and adventure, from behind the wheel of one of its most iconic Japanese sports cars.

  3. Rob Williams - Finishing A Legacy - Porsche 944

    Rob Williams - Finishing A Legacy - Porsche 944

    This story might be one of the most heart wrenching that I have done and when I first spoke with Rob Williams at World of Wheels Pittsburgh I knew his story needed to be told. It all starts with this Porsche 944, not just any run of the mill old car, maybe the finest restored 944 in North America, maybe the world. The project was started by his father and after his untimely death finished by Rob and rolled onto the Pittsburgh Convention Center floor, a dream his father envisioned.

    Godzilla! 1990 R32 Skyline - Nick Rearick

    Nick Rearick’s Skyline had already been imported and was quite possibly the cheapest R32 in the US at the time. He embarked on a journey over three winters to restore, upgrade and customize the car similar to an old school classic. The 1990 Skyline R32 was completely torn apart, gutted and put back together painstakingly all by Nick in his garage until it came out as his dream car.

    Bodied and Bagged - Shawn Stemmerich

    Like the saying, “what’s old is new,” mini trucks are making resurgence and filling them with the latest technology and making these trucks cool again. Shawn Stemmerich is not new to this game and this 1997 S10 that you are about to read about and listen to, is a $2K truck that he’s owned for over 15 years, has gone through three different builds over its time.

    Mike Blaze - 1981 PPG Indy Car World Series Pace Car

    What you are looking at and listening to is the story of the lost 1981 Oldsmobile Omega that was indeed used as one the Official Pace Car for the 1981 PPG-CART-Indy Car World Series from the forgotten car era. This 1 of 1 prototype was the product of the GM beancounter reigns taken off using a mix of factory and aftermarket parts culminating in one of the raddest Omegas ever.

    SSCA / Burgh Built End of Summer Bash!

    My faith in the Pittsburgh car scene has been rejuvenated with the first Steel City Cars N’at / Burgh Built end of summer bash. A collection of cars, trucks, lowrider, classics, exotics all gathered at the Soutpointe parking garage for a celebration of car culture before the hands of old man winter relegate these machines to the garage. Everyone behaved themselves, no burnouts, no donuts, no fights just a bunch of like minded enthusiast celebrating the freedom to drive their beloved machines and admiring each others works of art. I talked with three of the show goers in quick podcasts to find out some of the stories behind the 500 cars that showed up to the event.
