Podcast #21 – It’s Important to Remember the Scoupe
It’s time for another Q&A episode! Let’s talk about ’80s Hyundais, importing cars from Europe (Renault Avantime!), the “boring” cars of Instagram, and a little history of the Liam Nissan 24 Hours of Lemons racecar. Come join us!
Podcast Episode #20 – Resurrecting a Dead Car Brand
What car brand would you bring back from the dead, and why? Pontiac? Oldsmobile? Geo? Eagle? Packard? Saturn? Scion? Today Ethan and Paul talk about the brands that they would like to see make a comeback, and what their brand new 2020 model lineup would look like. Come join us!
Podcast Episode #19 – Slow Car Fast
We’re fans of slow cars. Today we talk about driving slow cars fast, and what might make them more fun to drive than a fast car. Ethan also received his first ever press car this week—a 2020 Kia Telluride SX, so let’s also talk 3-row SUVs! Come join us.
Podcast Episode #18 – Evading Park Rangers in a Geo Storm Wagonback
There were so many great questions from our listeners last week that we are coming at you with another Q&A episode! Let’s talk about Geo Storm Wagonbacks, childhood poster cars, the best new cars under $30k that come with a manual transmission, and a lot more. Come join us.
Podcast Episode #17 – First Ever Q&A!
It’s time for the first ever Hello Road Q&A episode. Let’s talk Yugos, Nova Twin Cams, old Corollas, and beer! Thanks to everyone that submitted questions, they were thought provoking and fun to answer. We only got through half the questions, so we’ll post a bonus episode with the rest later this week.
Ethan Tufts on The Road Stories Podcast
Want to hear me ramble somewhat coherently about Liam Nissan, my formative years, owning too many broken cars, and why I started Hello Road? I was just a guest on The Road Stories Podcast, and had a ton of fun recounting some old memories.

Ethan Tufts is a YouTuber, Podcaster and Racer unlike any other YouTuber, Podcaster or racer. His eclectic taste in cars and places has lead him to start a YouTube channel and Podcast of the same name, “Hello Road”. In this episode we talk about his infamous Lemons racer, “Liam Nissan”, weird places, and of course, weird cars.
In the bonus episode, Ethan walks us through some his adventures in his van. Think drums, not candy. Don’t get weird.
Podcast Episode #16 – Epic Road Trips
This week Ethan and Paul share a few stories from memorable road trips they’ve had. Paul takes us through his journey to Wall Drug in South Dakota, and Ethan recounts the gray-hair inducing trek through the Vail Pass in a rental Kia Optima. Come join us!
Podcast Episode #15 – Future Collectibles
Let’s talk about future collectibles—cars from the last 10 years that we think will be “Hello Road approved” classics a couple decades from now. Given our unusual taste in cars, it’s not likely these choices will be worth much in the future, but they will certainly have their own unique story to tell. Come join us!
Podcast Episode #14 – Sine Wave of Car Emotions
The past week has been a series of ups and downs of car-related emotions! Ethan got his rare Geo running again, crashed a Mustang Ecoboost rental, finally sold his big stupid truck, and still has his awful Prius. Paul’s new wheels and tires for his Daihatsu turn out to be garbage. We laugh, we cry, come join us!
