    The Avants Podcast

    Join hosts Dan Putnam and Nick Bergeron as they get to know industry leading guests beyond just what they drive. The Avants Podcast is never scripted and never predictable, but it’s always a good time and full of surprises. You won’t find any boring reviews that sound like reading off a pre-planned info sheet, ”history of” shows that are reworded Wikipedia articles, or advertisements for the next new foam mattress here! The Avants Podcast focuses on making sure guests are always authentic, just like your hosts.

    Features No One Really Cares About Anymore Oct 28, 2025
    Show notes

    From CVTs with Paddle Shifters to that radio you pretty much forgot existed, we go down the list of features we're wondering why still exist. We can't remember the last time we actually used the factory GPS, when it even worked, and self parking is a great way to lose a spot to the person behind you and cause a small traffic jam as a bonus. What features do you forget your car has? Which ones can't you live without? Which one is underutilized? Cooled seats for all!

    We Need More Cool Cars in Movies and TV Oct 20, 2025
    Show notes

    What was your favorite car movie? Do any of you have your movie car?! We're talking about movie cars, tv cars, and what we think is missing from movies that needs to come back to reignite car culture a little.

    It sounds like Spyker is going to be making a comeback in spite of their seemingly endless legal battles. Spyker holds a special place in our hearts as being a truly unique automobile and we're hoping their comeback stays true to the soul of the brand.

    We also follow up on previous conversation about oil catch cans and why you might actually want one and talk about what movie and tv car shows actually should come back.

    Show notes

    This week Nick turns 46. He's so much older than Dan now. You should make fun of him about it. Black Friday is just around the corner and we want to know what's on your list! Let us know in the comments. And, it's the end of the season for our friends over at Exotics at Redmond Town Center, the best weekly car show in the country. You should check out their latest blog and send some love their way. You can check it out here: https://exoticsat.com/newsy/well-thats-it

    Cheap Cars and Expensive Jacks Oct 06, 2025
    Show notes

    The cheapest car you can buy in 2025 is the Nissan Versa with a manual transmission. The days of the $10,000 dollar, 100k mile warranty Kia are gone. Kia even had a buy one, get one free promo at one point! There's a lot of factors in the rising cost of a car, but if you're going to buy new today and you want something good on a budget, what are you buying? We'd love to hear from you and why you chose what you did when it comes to your BUDGET buying experiences. We then talk all about jacking! Harbor Freight seems to have cornered the consumer market, with a few rare exceptions from Costco and Walmart. And when it comes to offroad, you've got Pro-Eagle, Badlands, and then the specialized bottle and high-lift jacks, but what are you using and why? We need to find a solution for Nick!

    Porsche Rolls Back on EVs Nobody Wanted Sep 29, 2025
    Show notes

    Brian Dallas joins us this week to hang out in the studio and talk Porsches, Ford mistakes, and more. In good Porsche news, Porsche rolls back their stupid idea to make Caymans and Boxsters full EV because they realized 99% of their customers don't want one. In bad Porsche news, Porsche doesn't know 99% of their customers cover their cars in Stek PPF and doesn't want to give them new stickers when they do. In dumb Ford news, Ford doesn't know we all want the Ranger Super Duty with a diesel. Someone please volunteer us to run an automotive company for a week.

    The Details Matter Sep 22, 2025
    Show notes

    Nick discusses his latest build, the ultimate detail cart! Working with our partners at Griots Garage to get the best gear, Nick created the ultimate detail cart with an integrated pressure washer, all the detailing supplies you'd need, and all in one handy rolling unit. In other news, our favorite doomed automotive brand, Jaguar, is doing even worse thanks to being hacked and decimating their supply chain. It raises the question, are we opening ourselves up to big vulnerabilities using tools like FORScan to "hack" our ECUs? Time will tell.

    The Wrong Phone for the Job Sep 15, 2025
    Show notes

    The new iPhone 17 is here! New cameras, faster processor, and still terrible as a dashcam. We talk about why you probably don't want to use it as one, why action cameras don't work that well either, and more about choosing the right tool for the job. Speaking of tools.. Dan got more tools. We know, you're all shocked.

    The BRaptor Off-Roadeo in Vegas Sep 08, 2025
    Show notes

    Dan spent the weekend in Vegas to attend Ford's Bronco Raptor Assault, or BRaptor Off-Roadeo as it's nicknamed by many. Ford puts on one heck of an amazing experience for Raptor owners, but Vegas really failed to deliver. The experience was memorable to say the least, but it re-fueled the itch for another sports car in Dan's life. What do you think he should get next? Leave a comment and let us know!

    Rallies Are Hard Sep 02, 2025
    Show notes

    Our friends Todd, Clarke, and Evan join us to recap their rally down to Monterey and all the fun stuff that comes with planning and running a rally. Rock chips, check engine lights, and unexpected cattle grates abound, but the adventure and comradery make it all worth it.
