Such a great guest. And really great show once again. Honestly, Matt/Zack are such good hosts and the setup is second to none along with the production.

(Brit here) Stopped caring about UK top gear around season 17 because it had fully swung away from cars and became nothing more than a comoedy show with predicatable and simplistic jokes, seriously go look at the episode list and you realise they only had 1 feature car per episode! The less decerning people that were so easily entertained by TGuk usually disregard any other form *purely* because its not TGuk and have no actual objective reason, They probably also liked watching jeremy kyle and prison break if you know what I mean. I really enjoyed TG USA with Rutledge, Tanner and Adam especially the moonshine episode (that caddy jump was truly impressive), same again with top gear Aus with Charlie Cox, Steve Pizzati and Warren Brown, It's nice to see what car culture is like in different continents as opposed to just children shouting.
Met Rutledge a couple times while working NASCAR races several years ago. This is exactly what he's like in person. Gracious with his time, happy to talk to anyone about whatever.
You guys talked about Hollister Hills for literally a second and my ears perked up! Hollister is my little hometown, well not so little anymore, little south of the Bay Area. Whenever anyone talks about Hollister I’m just like “HEY NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT MY HOMETOWN!”😂
F*** yes minivans! They are the most useful vehicle on the planet. I had a 2004 Sienna. I've had a 94 Safari. I'm waiting on delivery of a 2023 Pacifica limited and I've never been so excited for a car in my life
This is by far my favorite episode I've watched of you guys. I absolutely love Rutledge and all he is about. Was lucky to briefly meet him one day at Mecum and he is certainly one of those people that if you are asked who would love to spend a day with? He is in top 3 easily.
Regarding the supercharged Subaru Sambar, Kei car's power is limited to 64 hp so while the supercharger does sound awesome all it gets you is more torque... i mean hopefully IDK. But still that sounds awesome 👍
Before there was that Cartier Lincoln, there was the Levi's Gremlin. An AMC Gremlin with Levi's denim upholstery, complete with little red tags. 1970 - 1978.
I am calling BS on the 5.0 Lamborghini urban myth. The 07K VW block was cast iron and none of the parts in the VW are interchangeable in the engine, the earliest BGP code was launched in 2006, it has the same bore/stroke but 150hp @5000. The 5.0 has an all alloy block was launched in 2003, 530hp @ 7800rpm. Yes there are parts shared with other VAG cars, coil packs etc, but the internal architecture of the engines are different, hence your Mk5 Golf not revving to 7800 in 2007. The main weak point of the early 5.0s were the Catalytic converters, this early style of Cat breaks down and gets sucked back in. Change this to a modern cat and it's fine. The 5.0 also has a different firing order and a howl like an LFA instead of the wookie 5.2 and is sought after by alot of people because of this. Also the Lambo engine crane is another point of contention. You raise the rear of the car a foot off the ground nose down and use a 2 post lift to raise the V12 engine/gearbox out using the same tool you brace a fwd engine with when you do a clutch across the two rear jack points. No aircraft cranes or 12ft hoists needed. This was how I did the clutch on my Murci and radiator pipe replacement.
I think I’ve heard Hert and some of the guys at Hoonigan talk about it as a sabbatical. Off pursuing a cool project/opportunity. No return ETA, nor is there a guarantee, but the door is open. He does have his own TH-cam channel and shop space. But he was doing those things before KBs passing, the Hoonigan shift, and Hotwheels.
Just had the thought I wonder if Matt could drive the Countach with some New Balance Minimus shoes or something really thin and short. I guess they only make a trainer right now, but there's gotta be something he could wear that isn't too thick that would work, right?
(Build Teams being able to see each other’s progress) “No one’s ever done anything like this” Suppy and Jamo constantly throwing shade during Hoonigan Build and Battle lol
Used off the record recently. It was great. Very streamlined and simple and they got it off the record and I didn’t have to show up to court which was useful because I got it hours from home.
I tired to buy a car last year that wasnt black, white, silver or gray and it was impossible to find one that was speced well, had the right milage and was in good shape for a reasonable price.
Got a great deal on a ‘07 6-6 Accord Coupe in San Marino Red, initially was bummed it wasn’t black or white. Now I’m so happy with the color (Last model year for generation and top trim/manual)
Rutledge should be a guest every 4 months.... Heck the next time you guys go on vacation you should have Rutledge guest host!
Seconding, he should definitely be a regular reccurring guest!
I know it's not always good for podcasting to have too many people on, but him, tanner, and Adam at the same time would be great
Such a great guest. And really great show once again. Honestly, Matt/Zack are such good hosts and the setup is second to none along with the production.
Great show, Rutledge is a gem. That 2008 generation of honda odyssey truly did rule.
THE PREVIA GETS MENTIONED AGAIN!!!! - Lifted Previa right here
I saw a JDM hi-ace at Menards and I flipped out. I want one.

When Zacks jokes are missed 😒
The color coordination of this episode in on point.
Met Rutledge a couple times while working NASCAR races several years ago. This is exactly what he's like in person. Gracious with his time, happy to talk to anyone about whatever.
Just bought a Volvo wagon! Let's go wagon life V60 cross country
Heck yeah I loved top gear America!
Fake
Eunos Cosmo would be a interesting replacement for the M3. Comfortable cruiser with a unique engine.
Sienna Dad van for the win!
You guys talked about Hollister Hills for literally a second and my ears perked up! Hollister is my little hometown, well not so little anymore, little south of the Bay Area. Whenever anyone talks about Hollister I’m just like “HEY NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT MY HOMETOWN!”😂
I still think about his Scion with the 2J all the time that was such a rad car
F*** yes minivans! They are the most useful vehicle on the planet. I had a 2004 Sienna. I've had a 94 Safari. I'm waiting on delivery of a 2023 Pacifica limited and I've never been so excited for a car in my life

Not sure if I'm in the minority, but I despise give-away car content. Especially when the car can just go to someone who just instantly sells it.
Millencolin... Did not see that one coming!
He CRYS to much,lmao typical Rutledge... I will be waiting to see what you guys do to this c6 vett
I came knowing a minivan conversation would happen. I wasn’t disappointed
Yeah I know we like hot wheels but not giving them the car irl is wildly disrespectful
Did you guys plan the primary color shirts beforehand?
Hoonigan did build battles, exact same premise. 2 teams in same garage.
1:16:54 Oh Kei Garage sounds like a cool dude ❤😅
What is the car mentioned at 43:20?
Edit: it was a hakosuka skyline
Let’s see how many times P car gets talked about!
I am so clipping the minivan section and sending it to my wife! 😂
Dang, I bought a ~$3k donated copart car and had it PPI 😅
This one’s really good, great convo
Regarding the supercharged Subaru Sambar, Kei car's power is limited to 64 hp so while the supercharger does sound awesome all it gets you is more torque... i mean hopefully IDK. But still that sounds awesome 👍
Stagea Wagon is absolute bonkers
WOOOOOO! LOVE THE WOODSMAN!

Here we call the troop carriers troopies
Did hert leave hoonigan I heard Rut say used to be with hoonigan

Damn, shout out to Zack for mentioning Hollister Hills. I grew up with my cousin taking our Yamaha yz125's there.....big shout out to the 831!!!!
Oh Kei Garage is in Washington
14:17 Zack slipping one by. To quote the AYG boys, "Nothin' on that?!?"
Just had the thought I wonder if Matt could drive the Countach with some New Balance Minimus shoes or something really thin and short. I guess they only make a trainer right now, but there's gotta be something he could wear that isn't too thick that would work, right?
F1 las vegas needs to have Rut do the grid walk with Martin Brundle...would be amazing....
Love Rut!

I also could not fit to drive an S2000, but I can squeeze into a Miata
I always laugh about that one gas station near you. I bet they have problems keeping their tanks full and can't expand them
I remember that commercial, i want to say it was old navy
Car was baby blue and i remember a girl in a bikini top and jean shorts
@36:00 : My uncle had a dozen or so of them at once. He loved them and drove them everywhere.
🎼🎵Rutledge🎶 on a TUESDAY
Zack reminds me of Handsome Jack from Borderlands 2 in this one
I wonder if these guys have any idea how lucky they are?
I tired to buy a car last year that wasnt black, white, silver or gray and it was impossible to find one that was speced well, had the right milage and was in good shape for a reasonable price.
Got a great deal on a ‘07 6-6 Accord Coupe in San Marino Red, initially was bummed it wasn’t black or white.
Now I’m so happy with the color

This was really dope 👍🏽
Coolest guest to date. Legit. Bro is so down to earth.
Haven't watched anything on NBC in years. They must be pretty desperate if they're airing crappy Discovery Channel reality shows in prime time. 😢
I've had the opportunity to meet Rutledge. Can confirm- nicest person in car community.
Rutledge for President
More Rutledge, less Lieberman.
Less of both
