Konig - Behind The Wheel Podcast

In this episode of the KONIG Behind the Wheel podcast, we dive into a growing problem in the automotive community: illegal “takeover” sideshow events — and the negative impact they’re having on real car culture. We talk about why these reckless pop-up gatherings have nothing to do with true enthusiast culture, how they’re destroying the reputation of legitimate car meets and shows, and why we’re seeing more of them as we move into 2025. From safety concerns to media portrayal to the ripple effects on event organizers and everyday enthusiasts, we break down what’s actually going on behind the scenes. What does the future of car meets look like if illegal sideshows continue to stain the scene? Are we at risk of losing safe, organized meets altogether? And what can the real car community do to take back its image? Join us for a candid conversation about the past, present, and future of the culture we all care about.

In this episode of the Behind the Wheel Podcast, we talk about our first cars and the questionable mods we did to them.

When does a build become too nice to daily drive? Is just driving to your local corner store a risk these days? Do you live in fear when driving your pride and joy? This one’s for you! In this episode of the Konig Behind the Wheel Podcast, we dive into the struggle many enthusiasts face: the balance between enjoying your project car and protecting it from damage, wear, theft, and most of all, other drivers on the road. From pristine show builds and modified daily drivers to high-powered examples, we talk about the gray area where a car might be too clean, too valuable, or too risky to casually take out. Do you risk the potholes and door dings—or keep it tucked away in the garage? Great cars are MEANT to be driven, but where do you draw the line? Whether you’re wrenching on your first project or protecting your dream build, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Drop your thoughts in the comments: Do you daily drive your build, or is it a garage queen? 2025 Behind the Wheel Podcast | All Rights ReservedThank you for tuning in, and if you enjoy our podcast, please SUBSCRIBE!

In this episode of KONIG’s “Behind the Wheel” Podcast, we get real about JDM legends and ask the question no one wants to answer out loud: Are we paying for performance… or prestige? We’re breaking down the hype vs reality of owning iconic cars like the Nissan R34 Skyline—the poster child of Gran Turismo dreams and Fast & Furious fame—versus the often-overlooked but crazy capable Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, a twin-turbo, AWD beast that never quite got the love it deserved. We talk: Build potential – Which platform gives you more bang for your buck? Driving experience – Is one really more fun, or just more famous? Value vs. hype – Are buyers chasing performance, or chasing clout? Maintenance, tuning, and real-world ownership – What’s it actually like to live with these cars today? We’re not here to hate—just here to have the conversations every car guy (and girl) is already having in the garage, the group chat, and at 2AM on car forums. Whether you’re Team Skyline, Team Underrated Sleeper, or just love all things JDM—this one’s for you. 2025 Behind the Wheel Podcast | All Rights ReservedThank you for tuning in, and if you enjoy our podcast, please SUBSCRIBE!

Remember when car enthusiasts lived on message boards, not Instagram? In this episode, we take a nostalgic ride back to the era of Internet forums — the OG hub for gearheads to share knowledge, source parts, document builds, and argue over engine swaps. We talk about the charm and chaos of those early digital garages — from deciphering thread hierarchies and sketchy photobucket links to the legendary DIY write-ups and community drama that made forums more than just websites. Now replaced by fast-scrolling feeds and short-form content, we ask: what did we lose when we traded forum culture for social media? And what, if anything, can modern car culture learn from the past? Whether you were deep in the Honda-Tech trenches or lurking on NASIOC, this one’s for the old-school enthusiasts.

I think all of us can agree that when you pull into pretty much any grocery store parking lot, you’re bound to be met with a sea of SUVs, usually all either white, silver, or black in color…. what is going on? Are the soccer moms taking over officially now, or do Americans just feel safer driving bigger cars? Do we really need all that space? Sure… maybe you’ve got kids whom you take to soccer practice! But when you drop them off, you still want a bit of spirited driving. That’s where the HEMI comes in! Is it ridiculous or totally necessary that the 2025 Dodge Durango Hellcat comes stock with 710 HP? Ask most and they’ll say “Unneccesary”, but you ask our guy Nick and he’ll give you a HECK YEA! Why not wagons? The rest of the world, primarily Europe and Asia LOVE THEIR WAGONS. Does a wagon really not provide enough space for everything we want to do with our cars? Weigh in below!

Ever wonder how some of these aftermarket companies in motorsports get their start? You’d think most of them start with an idea… maybe a potential opportunity to fill a niche gap in the market… Here we are with Russell Garehan from  @ACUiTYinstruments  . In the case of Acuity, you could make the argument that the company is the culmination of an interesting and twisting journey that the founder, Russell, has endured to get here.
