No Driving Gloves

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,

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.

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. Links to the first two of three parts to this story- https://www.oldcarsweekly.com/blogs/wisconsin-vehicle-equipment-case-is-being-watched https://www.oldcarsweekly.com/blogs/senator-helps-hot-rodders-in-wisconsin-vehicle-equipment-case

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.

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!

They take this opportunity to discuss their time at the college and how McPherson has led them to the lives they enjoy today.

A classic gets damaged, does it have an impact on value? Cash. Historic. John and Derek approach these topics. When does a salvage title matter, at what age do we lose concern? Again maybe providing more questions than answers. They close with a serious "sinkhole" of a question.

Geoff Hacker with Undiscovered CLassics and Forgotten Fiberglass joins John and Derek this week to discuss his passion for finding, locating, and saving the creations of automotive innovators from the past. Geoff keeps alive the one-two -or three offs that were created by hand filling someone's dream. Sometimes these cars made a small production run, sometimes not. There are a lot of twists and turns to the conversation in this 65 minutes of discussion.

After tackling major shows last week, all 3 guys join forces to discuss auctions. Too many? Some insight on bidding? Good for the hobby? Can you go just to look and not buy? ALl this and more!

After questioning an award at a major event, the guys decide to discuss the ugly cars, why they might be ugly, and why they aren't ugly (OK mostly John here). In a better late than never episode! John also tried a different editing technique. Give us your feedback.

How do you safely bring a car out of hibernation after 50, 60 or 80 years? We start to touch on that topic. After discussing the Keeneland Concour and the Carriage class and a few personal going on's in John's Life. An exciting time this episode!

The chatter is all about trucks, new models, mini trucks, tailgates $100K half ton, towing. We try to cover it all, put one hour is to little.

In this bonus episode, we take the teen drivers education discussion from our Andy Pilgram episode and break it out. We felt this portion of the show needed shared with as many people as possible. By taking out all the car talk and focusing on Teen Driving we hope this can be shared with all parents, grand parents, and teens about how to be safer drivers.
