Rebooting the Ride
Description
After a long stretch in the paddock, The Bucket Seat fires back to life. This is Episode 73, but it also feels like Episode 1 of something new.
Trevor Byrne sits down with longtime friend, automotive content creator, and Volvo lifer Bonar Bulger for a wide-ranging, slightly nostalgic, occasionally opinionated conversation about what cars meant to us then, what they mean to us now, and why the smell of an old Volvo 240 can still hit you harder than a YouTube review ever could.
They cover Bonar’s early days wrenching on a yellow Volvo wagon with duct tape and a Haynes manual, his strange-but-true detour to a U.S. military base in the middle of the Pacific, and why building content for yourself first might be the most honest thing you can do in 2025.
There’s also an announcement tucked in at the end — something new for the show, and maybe for the direction it’s headed.
This is The Bucket Seat. Let’s get rolling again.
