From an early age I loved the sound of anything with an engine. Encouraged by my gearhead Dad, I started to collect Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars and later built 1:24 model kits of my dream cars. My youth was spent taking things apart and putting them back together in an effort to learn how everything worked. Grade school was filled with BMX bikes and helping my Pops work on vintage Chevrolets. After getting through school and twenty-some-odd vehicles later… I pretty much still play with cars and love things with engines
No, not the Ferraris or Corvettes of my youth, mind you. Today I’m more frugal and I gravitate toward neglected four-door sedans and rusty trucks. My current stable includes a 1947 Chevrolet Fleetline Sportmaster Sedan, a 1955 Plymouth Savoy, a 1969 Volvo 144s, and a 1976 Chevrolet C20 Fleetside. Guess which one of those runs right now, and I’ll give you a free wax job.
After working in radio for fifteen years, I dabbled with blogging for a while and enjoyed the creative outlet. The podcasting bug bit me thanks to the generosity (or peer pressure) of some good friends like Eric and Dustin. As it turns out, we have lot in common and a similar outlook on things that make noise (cars, people, music, 1980s films, etc.) As the Central Illinois automotive scene continues to evolve, it was clear to us that we needed to offer a platform for everyone to share their automotive projects, passions, questions, and news along with insight from two decent dudes who know their way around a shop, have actually worked on their stuff, and occasionally make a few jokes that aren’t terrible.
