A podcast where two young and opinionated (but ultimately naive) petrolheads talk cars, among other things. Feel free to disagree with our bad takes… of which there are plenty.

    #10. The Future Is Grim For Petrolheads, Or Is It?

    #10. The Future Is Grim For Petrolheads, Or Is It?

    In this episode, the two boys have a bit of a ramble on whether the future will be grim for those who love cars and driving. Will the current rise of EVs and autonomous vehicles spell the end to the boys dreams to one day being able to indulge in their hobby in the future? Also in this episode, the boys discuss more generally on how the future of mobility will look like, and a rather long whinge on the failings of public transport.

    #9. The Ideal First Car

    In this episode, the two boys decide to have a discussion on what exactly should be the ideal first car for a kid, and actually come to a reasonable conclusion, for once. Also in this episode, a rose-tinted recap on both the boys’ first cars and how fortunate/unfortunate they actually are.

    #7. Two Car Garage Banter

    Watch in on YouTube for the intended experience! In this also visual episode, the boys are tired so they decided to discuss the two-car posts on the Instagram page Two Car Solution en-route to coming up with their own ultimate two-car garages. Also in this episode, why the Volkswagen Tiguan R could be the only car you’ll ever need, as well as some chat about some more obscure JDM cars, like the first-generation Honda City.

    #6. Should We Be Mad That Geely Owns Proton?

    #6. Should We Be Mad That Geely Owns Proton?

    In this episode, the two boys get rather patriotic in discussing whether Geely taking over Proton was actually a good thing. Spoiler alert: It totally is, but also isn’t at the same time. Also in this episode, an impromptu debate on whether a Perodua Myvi and a Toyota Yaris can be fairly compared, as well as talk on whether Proton should have been killed off when it was on its knees.

    Minor correction to note too: The Proton X70 and X50 do cost a little more than what was discussed in the podcast, with the former topping out at near as damn it RM 130,000 while the latter maxes at around RM 115,000. Yes, we should probably have researched more on this, but point nevertheless does stand that they are still a good chunk cheaper than its rivals.

    #5.5: Why Do We Still Watch Formula 1?

    In this motorsport-centric episode, the two boys tries to rationalise why they aren’t that invested in F1 anymore. Also in this episode, they reminisce about their personal experience going to a live F1 race and their expectations for the coming 2023 season. Oh, and there’s something about a sponge too.



    Here's pictures of the sponge.

    P.S: When we were rambling on about the 2012 season, we actually meant the 2010 season where Vettel won the championship out of 4 other possible winners at the final race of the season. The other 3 possible champions apart from Vettel were Webber, Alonso and Hamilton. We should probably have done more research before recording...
