Someone Pick up the Phone, Because We Called It - BO 128

Tonight, Sumanth drives a car with so much drip he became an influencer overnight, Dan’s oft repeated smack talk on Ford comes full circle, and Cole loses even when he wins. And of course we’ll run you through some going ons in the autoverse, and probably talk about Doge Coin because it’s so hot right now.

May 23, 20211 hr 11 min

Sir, This is an Off-Highway Vehicle Park - BO 127

Tonight Cole freaks out a whole bunch of guys on dirtbikes in the desert, Sumanth experiments with trepanation, and Dan stands around some parking lots. As usual we have a really long Heel/Toe, and Cole has a flashback driving a VW that might break as much as his first one did back in High School.

May 23, 20211 hr 26 min

Ground Loop Isolation - BO 126

Tonight, we talk about trucks that only youtubers take off road, an EV GT from Ingolstadt with range that a SCUD would make fun of, Sumanth will talk smack about ‘Ole Musky, and Cole drives 337 miles to get a haircut. It’s the first show of 2021 for the Burnouts, and we thank you for your patience while we overcame techmo-logical difficulties, crippling loneliness and boredom.

Out For Delivery - BO 125

It’s the annual Burnouts Holiday Shopping show brought to you by all the guys in vans! We’ve got a bunch of ideas for that gearhead that you never know what to buy, besides a 30 pack of Michelob Ultra wrapped in foil and a family-size box of band aids. So light those scented candles and pour some dairy free hot cocoa and let’s gather under the Mistletoe for a while, shall we?

Dec 23, 20201 hr 43 min

All Natural - BO 124

Dec 05, 20201 hr 6 min

It Was Just a Latte - BO 123

Tonight, we speculate about the most overhyped and underpowered sports car with a roof, we get mad at the Hummer EV, and Dan throws a pumpkin off the roof. Yank out that charging cable before driving off and join us, won’t you?

Nov 15, 20201 hr 31 min

Episode 331 - BO 122

Tonight we’ve got some new yuge V8s, overpriced EV motors to spruce up your malaise 4x4s, Dan beats on somebody else’s cars, Sumanth gives out some poor financial advice, and Cole complains about some stuff that no one cares about.

V-Tech Pushrod Volume Knobs - BO 121

Tonight we’ve got plenty of crap on celebrities, some salacious and embarrassing news on that politician you hate, and more vapid and unimportant conjecture about current events based on facts we heard on facebook. So pour a stemless glass of over oaked Pinot and settle in under that weighted blanket won’t you?

Oct 29, 20201 hr 8 min

Today's Attendance: Zero - BO 120

Tonight we have some Deja Vu, because we’ve just done this podcast before, higher on the street, and you know this is the intro, calling you, and search is a mystery, standing on my feet, it’s so hard when I try to be me, woah. Whoever the hell owns Ram nowadays and Ford have a slap-fight over some big V8’s in trucks, both VW AND Tesla in the SAME corner, and we have some Deja Vu, because we’ve just done this podcast before.

Sep 03, 20201 hr 10 min

For the last time, it does not have a solid front axle! - BO 119

Tonight we go to Build a Bear, or play Build a Bronco since the mall is closed, run you through some interesting new powerplants in the Heel Toe, make fun of Sumanth like usual, and Dan rubbed shoulders at a safe distance with a favorite hotshoe of the Burnouts. Top off your fluids, and let’s start up the show.

Call Her Mechanic - BO 117

Tonight we tell you how Cops are combating the Bat Flu, SUVs that are getting V8s just in time for gas prices to rebound, and Dan shares some things he learned about essential worker's beasts of burden. And maybe we have Sumanth test driving a car instead of talking about Tesla.

Jun 08, 20201 hr 27 min

Overcaffeinated - BO 116

Tonight on the show we have prancing horses, pony cars, and a bunch of hot takes about a once-common car-related business primed for a potential comeback. Oh, and happy birthday, X Æ A-12!

Carole Baskin Drives a Mitsubishi Mirage - BO 113

Tonight we have one more reason to be wary of that Mustang in your rear view, a Car-B-Que like none other, zee Germans go golfing with an old cart, something pretty cool in Sumanth’s Tesla Corner. Grab an ice-cold Hamms and join us!

Sim Racing, So Hot Right Now - BO 112

Tonight on the Burnouts! Top ten cars for hoarding toilet paper! Just kidding, we all know what that is already (Ford Transit or Honda Odyssey, obviously). But really though, stay safe, folks. Wash those hands! Tonight, we shift through a Heel/Toe segment full of Vettes, Supras, and HEMI’s. Plus, we talk about how camshafts are so 2019, and Cole explains why we haven’t seen gas like this since 1999. Finally, we touch on a couple Tesla stories, because of course we do.

Emergency New Zealand - BO 111

Cancelled your flight to Geneva? We’ve got you covered! Also we got a deep dive into a four seat hyper car, and of course Sumanth’s Tesla Corner! Buckle up and let’s dump the clutch, and hopefully not stall this time Dan.

Mar 18, 20201 hr 21 min

Bugatti - BO 110

Tonight we’ve got a SUV with a chopper pad, a Jeep that spends more time in the sand than David Hasslehoff, more Tesla news than even Sumanth can digest, and good news for people with worn out Japanese sportscars. Let’s dive right in shall we, but first… what the hell have we been up to?

Mar 15, 20201 hr 18 min

Tonk-jib-tee - BO 109

I.E., a Real Podcast (Old Men Yell at Cloud)- BO 108

Tonight, we roar into a new decade with the usual Heel Toe, and then jump right into the Burnie Awards, the only Automotive Award from a Podcast that you don’t usually want to get, but still better than the Inmate of the Month Award that Sumanth got at the Gary Lockup in 2013.
