    Vaughn Gittin Jr - Full of Surprises

    What was Vaughn Gittin Jr's first car? How about his favorite Mustang ever? His thoughts on EVs? The answers will surprise you as much as they did us.

     

    Vaughn Gittin Jr has climbed the automotive ranks to impressive heights. From humble beginnings, drifting for fun led to sponsors, wins, championships, and eventually partnering with one of the biggest OEMs on Earth: Ford. 

    On this episode we learn about: his RTR Mustangs (available to order now); his first car (you aren't ready); his favorite Mustang; cars he loves outside those wearing the blue oval; the challenges of building cars at scale; what he said no to; his secret to winning; and so much more.

    Recorded April 8, 2026

    Brett Berk

    Brett Berk might be the busiest freelance journalist we know. He has the incredible power to drive one car and extract 3 interesting, unique stories from the experience. That's why he's driven Jaguar's new EV, a very special Bentley, driven cars on boats (yes, that's a thing), and toured factories.

     

    Patreon questions include:

    • Best used AMG car for under $40k?
    • Can we fix bad drivers?
    • Will Aston make an entry-level mid-engine car?
    • Cameras vs lidar
    • Toddlers vs supercar owners
    • Best bang-for-buck car
    • EPA's move to 15% ethanol
    • Do Alpina's last longer than BMWs?
    • Are convertibles always worth more than coupes?
    • Is car-themed luggage gauche?
    • BRZ: best chassis you can buy under $100k?
    • And more!
