Ever wondered what it’s like to grow up with cars deeply woven into your family history? Join us as we step back in time with our special guest, Joe, and explore generations of car enthusiasts in his family. Hear about his grandfather, a World War II veteran who not only worked at Ford, drove a Model T cross country before highways were a thing, and raced Nascar prior to the time that it was a full-time career. We also share several personal stories including a high school adventure with a white 1971 VW Westfalia camper bus and its eventual breakdown in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Our conversation turns practical as we discuss the intricacies of fitting cars into garages, with pro tips on layouts, installing lifts, and restoring vintage vehicles. We share insights on modern car issues, contrasting the complex problems of a 2010 BMW with the more straightforward cars from the 80s and 90s. The right to repair movement also comes under the spotlight, emphasizing its importance for both farmers and car enthusiasts alike. Finally, we celebrate some of Joe's eclectic car collection including 1989 white Chrysler Conquest and his cherished black 1994 Miata, underscoring the joy and community support essential in car restoration projects.
