from Namsayin: Cars & Convos · host Namsayin

The fellas welcome their first guest in house and its the one and only Austin Hironaka owner and founder of Hiro's hotrod. They dive into the business, the mindset, the people that make up Hiro's hotrods. Austin opens up about what the word hotrod means to him, building the community behind a business, the stresses and victories of starting and growing your passion into a business, the cars Austin started with and how they came to be and finally the future of Hiro's Hotrods. Then the guys jump into a new Toyota concept SUV that has won a prestigious Italian design award, Walt discusses the reasons behind the win and what the design language translates to as far as reality and the potential for building one. Next up, the electrical woes continue, this time at Ford. They discuss the Mach-E and what an almost complete fleet recall means for the brand, the electric car movement in general and will this give loyalty to the  growing independent all electric car market. After that the boys look at the new Trailblazer and wonder what is Chevrolet thinking? How does an EV branded SS work with the rest of Chevrolet's fleet and how can companies behind on electric vehicles and technology in the market catch up to rivals. Lastly the group talks the future of license plates as new digital plates are being sold and tested in a few US states and Al gives us the 411 on the Midori green civic.
