No Driving Gloves

So many terms- Hot Rod, Street Rod, RestoRod, Rat Rod, Junk, Rod, Street Machine.... Will and John take advantage of Derek being gone to discuss. The final episode of 2017!

John makes the guys discuss Radwood. a car show based around 1980's and 90's car that also requires you to dress in the style of the day. Think Goodwood, but without a race track and cooler cars. (Last said by John). 

With Will missing in action John and Derek begin a discussion on how certain choices are made in the restoration and museum worlds in relation to how a car car should be restored, preserved or maintained.

Sorry if this is the second time you received this. The original file upload was missing 20 minutes f the show. I don’t know why. We talk this week about various items we use or want in our shop. We are kind of hoping you may be able to use this to find this to add to your Christmas list or maybe find the right thing to give. We also announce our first Amazon gift card winner!

How do we spend our tie on the internet? The discussion leads us all to discover websites each of us use daily to either help is at work or just to find a bit of fantasy. Be careful as some of these can get you in trouble way to easily.

This week the guys take on an article claiming that 12 very popular cars from the 1980's and 90's are worthless. Can it be true? Can some of the most popular cars of our youth be non-collectible? Or even worth-less?

Will is back from SEMA and tells about what is in store on that horizon, then everyone discusses the dune buggy ban in the great state of Texas and we conclude about Bob Lutz predictions on the death of the automobile. 

With Will at SEMA we invite Patreon supporter Anthony Layton on the show to discuss his interest in TT Trucks, his thoughts on automotive Cyber security, but not before John expresses his thoughts on Tesla's 11/1 news. 

We all woke up one day with high paying jobs in the collector car world. Not. Still haven't but what started us down the road to to Museums, Hot Rods, and racetracks?  

Picking up on a topic discussed briefly over the last few weeks the guys dive into coachbuilding in the modern era. Why are more custom cars not Coachbuilt, or are they? Is anyone doing it?

Wow! We are 20 episodes in already. Seems like just last week we launched. We go and recap all of our prior episodes and even add new content added to many. 

This week John sits down and talks with 2017 SCCA Fletcher Cup winner. Pro Solo Trophy winner. Pistol Instructor. Doctor Jordan Towns.  

A lose conversation about automotive styling. What happened to the coachbuilders? Current design trends.

We all the cars (or a list of the cars). However where do you put them once you have them? We discuss our challenges or lack there of on the storage front.

Back at home everyone recaps their travels or week. John meets one the Chassy Media owners, Will is back from LSFest, Derek back from Old Car Festival. The discussion then involves Goodguys jumping to 1987 cut off year. So do the guys think it is good? Will it help the collector car hobby? Do they agree with you?

With everyone traveling this weekend, we do a quick look at schedules and buy some new equipment to get you this episode. Will and Derek both call in and give road reports from both Old Car Festival an LSFest. John meets a FB friend in person and a visit from overseas leads to one heck of a book.

We go there this week. Take on reality TV. While we know where we wanted to go sometimes you find the road in reality might choose a different path. Overhaulin, Monster Garage (and Monster House), even Junkyard Wars get discussed in this surprising look at television in today's world.

A guest host joins two of the three for a discussion on driver aids, self driving cars, and driver education. We try to live up to the name of No Driving Gloves by taking a few bare-fisted jabs at the industry and driver education process in the USA.

Not the normal discussion of eBay bad or good or how the internet has killed this aspect or that of the hobby. We go a touch longer than normal but provide at look at the many ways the internet has impacted the collector car hobby.

This week we play fantasy. You have $5,000 to drive Route 66 what would you buy? You have $250,000, you have the same and can keep the change, or what would you run the Cannonball Run in? In 1980. Some surprising answers do await...
