Central Illinois’ finest automotive podcast.
A dealership service manager and a 15-year radio veteran walk into a garage… Eric and Daryl break down the car news that actually matters, swap stories from the service drive and their own project cars, and sit down with guests who’ve raced, restored and built things worth hearing about. Come for the knowledge, stay for the laughs, and leave with a sudden urge to buy a project car.
