No Driving Gloves

Sean Yoder joins the show. The conversations cover everything from electric cars, start-stop technology, teen driving, do cars have too much HP, and few other quick topics. 

We waited. Took in all the info. Now we talk Tesla Cybertruck. 

We jump right in the middle of a discussion on modifying and "destroying" cars, for the greater good. Then, of course, we discuss the Mustang Mach-E. Is it the right thing? Is it the right name? Do we need it?

After an unexpected break, everyone returns and fills you in. #SEMA, Corvette donations, new ventures, travel, and somehow the Cannonball. (Of course, we recorded on Wednesday and on Thursday #Vinwiki and Ed post a video...) Join us and comment on the new editing style that will help keep us more regular. 

Jerry Dixey from Street Rodder magazine had dinner with Will. Then we grabbed him for an after-dinner conversation. We talk hot rod, street rods, vans, pedal cars and more. After Jerry we talk about giving away a dragstrip and making to much noise at a different strip.

Everyone had active weeks. LS Fest, Old Car Festival, John bought a Van (part 2). Then we touch on installing airbags on a minivan. Kevin Hart and safety in hot rods gets talked about. Then we wrap up discussing Porsche Electric Turbo models. (And how Porsche defines the word Turbo)

John is beginning to grow up and is dumping his new cars for something used. $5-6K. He asks Will and Derek for advice. John struggles. 

There might have been 70,000,000 things to talk about in Monterey, but we only get into 17,000,100 of them. See what the guys' comments are about what went on in Monterey on a hot August night.

Don't have room for 6 cars? Don't have money for 3 cars? Derek and John discuss some of the smaller items they have in their collections. Where they find them. Why they have them. Even some financial advice.

Our guest, Adam Martin, was in the room when the "Porsche" Type 64 "bid to $70million. He gives us the 1st person account. Then we talk using our cars, roadside Duesenberg repairs, and old friends. The hosts are slightly different for the 100th episode of NDG, but the backgrounds are the same.

The Wisconsin Highway Patrol is back in the news for ticketing a 32 Ford for having modifications. This is a great example of how we as car hobbyists need to stay on top of what is happening to preserve our hobby. John and Will discuss the situation, why it is important, and what can be done. We released this early for anyone attending the Iola Car Show to maybe help the discussion on the topic.

With the passing of Lee Iaccoca- Derek and John bump up their discussion of automotive icons. They cover the last 130 years of Icons to the American Automotive Manufacturing Industry. How they impacted the industry, design and our lives. 

It is a holiday week at NDG, but we didn't want to leave you without an episode! We are going back in time to Episode 2 Electrifying Car Talk. We talk about electric cars and Tesla. We will be revisiting this topic within the next few weeks and a refresher is good for everyone. So enjoy and listen to the newbies in one of the earliest casts.

After a video was posted on the internet about how museums are bad, No Driving Gloves takes a look from the other side. Maybe the tables should be turned? Maybe not? You tell us.

We somehow missed our topic this week and strayed off on movie and TV cars. Who has the best history for TV cars? What was the most exciting must see car movie? Well we didn’t really answer those questions but provided food for thought.

In 70+ year of collectors cars, we have heard some stupid things. While this isn't a complete list, we do bring up some of the dumbest and oddest things we have seen or heard in the industry. We also start our countdown to episode 100 with a special announcement in this episode!

Will's wrap up of McPherson Car Show, then we talk wrap and paint.

Are today's children growing up to be "Car People"? Derek and John feel there is hope. Find out why they this way. Derek gets a new "toy".

Having attended their respective local new car Auto Shows John and Derek discuss some the great things they provide. Of course, they also hit on a few complaints about the shows and maybe a few of the manufactures shortcomings.

McPherson College is talked about often on No Driving Gloves as it is John and Will's alma mater. The first weekend in May the school hosts a car show presented by the Restoration Students.  They take this opportunity to discuss their time at the college and how McPherson has led them to the lives they enjoy today.
