It's the perfect follow-up to last week's Vault episode with Jonny Lieberman. Ross spent a week with the gas-powered 2026 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack, which was a hot topic when they talked last August, too.

In addition to the driving impressions, we talk about the state of the industry amid an absolute storm of fast-moving events. EVs may be dead. Or they may be ready for greatness.

Give it a listen and let us know what we got right and where we struck out. See you in a week!

Like a forgotten board tape from a Grateful Dead show (did Ithaca '77 ever actually happen?) this episode got lost under the seat of the digital Microbus that drives the Hooniverse. Jonny Lieberman joined Ross in August 2025 for a wide-ranging conversation that covered his fledgling Youtube channel Driving With Jonny, the ICE-powered Dodge Charger, wristwatches for all you horologists, and finished up with the Bugatti Mistral and Lamborghini Diablo GT. We'll get Jonny back on soon for a fresh update - drop your thoughts and questions in the comments.

Vaughn Gittin Jr. joins the Hooniverse Podcast to talk about the latest with RTR, and it's a lot.

We talk about:

• Restoring his original S13 and 2005 Mustang drift cars
• Factory Mustang RTR and Bronco RTR models straight from Ford
• RTR Spec models and what it takes to build out a specialist manufacturing operation.

And we finish up with a solid discussion of this year's King of the Hammers experience.

Check it out, tell your friends! And let us know which RTR Spec vehicle you'd grab. (Spec 5 for me - DR)
