No Driving Gloves

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...

Today we talk about our favorite car shows and events. The good and bad.

We finish up last weeks episode discussing our most enjoyable tasks and the things that frustrate us the most. Of course like most episodes we wander off course a little but...

The discussions talks about what each of us love and hate about our chosen careers. From tools and processes to the people. We ended up going way long with this one, so we broke it into two episodes. 

The discussion focuses on car values, what is hot in the market and  the guys true thoughts on collector car value and price. Find out their final conclusion on how to invest your money when it comes to automobiles. In the end John and Derek discuss LeMons racing, followed by John and Will discussing possibly the coolest VW ever built.

The guys spend an hour talking about the importance of T's and A's to the world. The discussion wonders about spending time in junkyards. Will ends the episode explaining how popular the A is in shop and how his team takes care of them. Ending with an interesting surprise.

Due to a publication mistake, everyone get a bonus episode! Derek and John sit down and discuss their favorite cars from their own collections, current market and life. 

After a few episodes the guys sit down and tell you about themselves. Who they are. Why they are doing this. When will you be able to listen.

The guys take a look at pick-up trucks. They discuss the early days and how the pick up came about. The discussion carries us to why everyone feels trucks have become the luxury cars they are today. John also talks about how he does regular maintenance to his cars.

This week the guys discuss electric cars. They take a look at the past, present and future. Will they be the classic of the millennials?

Finally it is here the first full episode! Today Derek, Will and John chat about barn finds. Which quickly leads into discussing how conservation and preservation compare to restoration. 

Just a quick clip of Will reminiscing about how he discovered his passion for the automobile. 

Derek quickly outlines how he went from a baby all the way into a museum career.
