Ethan created Hello Road and started making car/travel videos as an excuse to go on adventures, make new friends, discover new things, travel to amazing places, and of course, justify his countless questionable automotive purchases. His infatuation with weird cars along with a shoestring budget often leads him to filling up his driveway with a brigade of terrible, failing hoopties.

Let’s talk about what it has been like to own this super strange and incredibly rare JDM import. What are my favorite things about this odd machine? What is it like to drive? What is maintenance like? And why does it confuse just about everyone that sees it?

Hello Road

New vid! ➡️ https://youtu.be/cpYkjjdMtUc ⬅️ In a world shifting to pricey crossovers and SUVs with an average cost of over $50k, the practical and stylish K4 Hatchback is a welcome addition to Kia's inexpensive K4 lineup. The K4 sedan is already a fantastic small car with lots of space, and a good suite of tech. This new K4 Hatchback gives you all of that plus the added utility and style of a hatchback. Today we’ll take a close look at the features, technology, design, interior, fuel economy, and find out if a hatchback is actually better than a similarly priced crossover or SUV. Come join me!

Today let's go back in time and relive the storied history of the Suzuki Jimny / Samurai, and how it became one of the most beloved SUVs on the planet. We’ll look at its meteoric rise and sudden downfall in the US, and then we’ll drive my newly imported third gen 1999 Jimny both on road and off. Come join me!

Hello Road

New vid! ➡️ https://youtu.be/NxjVY66N2eU ⬅️ I wasn't planning to import another adorable JDM car, but it was hard to pass up something this adorable. I just bought a 1999 Mitsubishi Toppo BJ, a tiny yet extremely practical kei car, that just so happens to have a weird name. Apparently BJ stands for "Big Joy!" Ok then! The Toppo BJ was part of Mitsubishi's "Big Small" series—this cute vehicle has tiny exterior dimensions but provides an incredibly spacious interior. Today let's head down to the port to pick it up, take a close look at all of it's unique features, and take it for a test drive!

Today we'll do our best to fix the broken liftgate and taillights! Sounds like it should be easy right? Well this old van can turn any easy project into a pain in the butt.
