In this episode, we sit down with Lucas Scarfone...photographer, publisher, and the guy who’s probably taken one of your favourite car photos without you even knowing it.

We talk about how it all started for him, shooting with a Nikon in high school and chasing down the kind of cars most people only dream about. Lucas shares how Autostrada came to life, what it means to really connect with the car community, and why he still believes in doing things the hard way if it means doing them right.

We get into:

• What makes a great car photo really stick
• How Autostrada became more than just a magazine
• The tension between creativity and brand work
• Print vs. digital and why both still matter
• The value of showing up, camera in hand, over and over again

This one’s a mix of car stories, business lessons, and real talk about what it means to build a life doing what you love.

If you’ve ever picked up a camera, loved a car, or thought about making your own thing from scratch, this episode’s worth a listen.

Porsche Canada has officially opened the doors to its first-ever Experience Centre—and we sat down with two key voices behind it. In this episode, Trevor Arthur (CEO, Porsche Canada) and Jennifer Cooper (Manager, PEC Toronto) join us to talk about what makes the centre more than just a track.

We get into Trevor’s return to Canada, the vision for Porsche’s future, and the incredible one-of-one GT3 RS designed to mark the launch. Jennifer shares how the PEC was built with intention, from the track layout and Canadian design cues to the art installation and guest experience.

Released on Canada Day, this episode is a celebration of homegrown passion, national design, and the people behind one of Porsche’s most ambitious projects to date.

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.
