No Driving Gloves

CA passes a car law that would be good for consumers nationwide (for a change). Are slow drivers that bad? What happens to Beetle after 8 years? And finally, just down the street, there are 1200 cars being auctioned via Hagerty Marketplace- The Generous Collection. Those topics and maybe more…

Talking about changes in the auto stable. Children's building bricks that hurt when stepped on. Podcasting.

Let's discuss the car I have been driving for two weeks. Then, how about some stupid car news? And then the return of buttons. But maybe not in that order. 

It is that time of year and things in the automotive world start shaking up

John will analyze the past 3ish years with his dedicated work car, a Ford Fiesta. Did the purchase make sense? Pitfalls? Unexpected Happenings? Do it again? 

Rumors, conspiracies. Want to create live streams like this? 

Let's see where the road leads us tonight. 

We are going to talk about music and cars - the tunes that make us go fast, the ones that bring back memories, and the tracks we sit in the shop and jam to. No complaining on this episode.

Derek and Dave take over while John is off, so naturally, it's old-old-car talk tonight. With a surprise!

The best foods to consume while driving your automobile and the demise of Leno's law.

Well are we? Does AI save the day?

Even if we aren't wise, we can pretend, right? What everyday cars of today are tomorrow's collectibles? Anniversaries. John announces an upcoming business venture.

We are all back, and it's time to rebut things said while others were gone.

We might be short on hosts tonight, but those who join the conversation will discuss things that shouldn't have been done in or to cars.

From million-dollar Mercedes barn finds to rising stars at London and Greenwich concours, this solo episode of No Driving Gloves dives into the biggest collector car stories of the last month. Host John takes you on a high-octane ride through auction previews, market shifts, a 200-mph Jaguar replica, and even a classic car road trip through the Cotswolds. If it’s got patina, provenance, or power—it's in this episode. Subscribe, hit play, and let's talk classics.

A quick change due and a short show to schedules, but some fascinating numbers to look at.

The three of us discuss the unpredictable paths of our careers and passions, highlighting how unexpected detours often lead to the most memorable adventures. The conversation highlights the significance of embracing the journey, with all its twists and turns, rather than solely focusing on the destination. Through shared stories, the value of perseverance, adaptability, and joy in unexpected moments along the road are underscored.

We have a reflective and imaginative discussion inspired by fellow automotive podcaster Mark Greene. Exploring personal connections to vehicles by posing two thought-provoking questions: "If you were a car, what would you be?" and "If you could have any one car for the rest of your life, what would it be?"

We explore the profound influence individuals can have within the automotive industry. We dive into how a single person's passion, innovation, or dedication can drive significant change, challenging established norms and inspiring others. The discussion emphasizes that impactful contributions aren't solely the domain of major corporations; enthusiasts, restorers, and everyday individuals also play pivotal roles in shaping the automotive landscape. The episode encourages listeners to recognize their potential to effect meaningful change, regardless of their position within the industry.
