Amanda Gutierrez VP of Auto Restoration at McPherson College discusses the Restoration Program and all the college offers outside of restoration. How the program has changed since John and Will's time there 20 years ago. The new things happening. The "real" accredited university that offers not only a Bachelor's in Automotive Restoration in the U.S., but actually a full curriculum outside of cars.  Be sure to learn all about McPherson- https://www.mcpherson.edu/ Or direct to Automotive Restoration-  https://www.mcpherson.edu/autorestoration/

Bill Riley joins us and discusses how Riley has pivoted business during the shutdown. They have dedicated their engineering and production to the creation of medical devices much needed at this time. Then to cheer it up we talk racing, engineering, production, design, waterjets, 3d Printing. You know RACECAR stuff. When done check out Riley Technologies at https://www.rileytech.com/  

In an honest car guy conversation, Sean and John have differing views on the most recent Coast to Coast record run. This is exactly as if you were eavesdropping on them. They talk Cannonball, rules, no rules, can you break the rules when there are no rules, motorcycles, investors. Enjoy what our "better halves" deal with daily.

Jim Simpson of Simpson Design (www.simpsondesign.net) and owner of Contemporary Classics (http://www.contemporaryclassicsofwa.com/) is known for Italian Styled Miata Rebodies, but he goes so far beyond. He has restored some of the greatest cars ever made, he has owned many of those. He builds resin stying model as a hobby. He has owned car companies. He knows some of the biggest players in automobiles. We didn't even scratch the surface of him and his knowledge in this extra-long episode.

Without a doubt, things will be changing. We fall into a topic of Virtual racing, eGaming, and real-world racing. We get deep into eRacing, sponsors, how it actually takes place, is it real, is it fair, what is involved. A rabbit hole that makes you think.

Tom Cotter famous from his marketing company, auto journalist, and his writing careers, takes an hour from his busy schedule to chat with us. He speaks how he is effectively using this time for an upcoming book, his prior books, his life, and his cars. A ton of road and rust is traveled in this episode!

It was unavoidable, we had to talk COVID-19 / Corona. We give some thought on how we at this stage think it will affect the car hobby. Not giving advice, just our thoughts. Right? Wrong? We don't know.

Will, Sean, and John try to talk about the humorous stories of their pasts. Yeah, some distractions happen, especially since this is the first time Sean and Will have recorded together. We might have told a story or two we shouldn't have. Hopefully, the statutes have run out by now? 

It isn't all Ford Bronco, don't worry. We get Cheata in the conversation. And find some other stuff to yabber about.

We cover the Geneva Auto Show like everyone else from our studio/office. With the cancellation of the show, everything was released online and we cover some of what was notable in our eyes.

Promise we had a topic, we even mention it. In NDG style, however, we jumped and ended up discussing electric trucks. With surprising little mention of Tesla. 

Sitting down to talk about what cars guys think is cool and the rest of the world doesn't understand. Manuals, Station Wagons... You might be surprised by some of the thoughts.

The subject of the next generation and cars finally gets its own episode. Is everything lost? are we the last generation...

Can a car inspire and create one's life? Make you seek out employment at 13? Teach you about finance? Connect you to a loved one? Pull you back from nothing? Make you buy a cookie? Duane makes a good case in his book "Driven". From life at 13 to donating his time to Extreme Makeover, now with an unimaginable selfless goal, he at least makes you think twice if a car can.

Yep, we are here early, but right in the middle of Auction Week with an auction episode. We talk about auctions, a few cars, a few rules, market feelings, and whatever. Oh and John's rant. Sean Yoder joins us again in our new host rotation.

A look back at how we lived up to our goals for 2019, and what new is in store for 2020. WIll has some major projects in the works and multiple 2020 SEMA builds, Derek has a lot on his personal plate including a barn raising, and John and his company (www.visionsinvechicles.com) have a new contract that will impact the Alabama car world.

The guys are all back and try to catch up on what has been going on. Then we try and find a car of the 10-19 Decade,
