No Driving Gloves

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.

Tell somebody if you like what you hear, and help support the show...

And hear a tale of a fateful trip. As we journey into the unknown with a few guys who may or may not know it all.

How much do you need in a car? What is too little? And we might rethink our 200,000-mile GM discussion.

Join the 3 Mavericks in the car hobby- With only vague ideas of the topic, you never know what road the conversation will travel 

As always, we never know where the conversation will lead, but the guys might actually discuss things they have spent money on that help provide information on the podcast.

Let's flip the script and see how it goes. Maybe even some listener input

You get a pair tonight, prepare to collector car hobby your buns off

You never know how it is going to go, but this one might break something

Who, what, when , where, why, and how? 

The talking point list for tonight is long. Let us see how far we get. 

What might be the best car ever for all-season driving? We know, but do we tell you? (spoiler John has no clue)

You know the drill-Unfillitered car talk

Nope, no young Blonde singing, but three older dudes talking cars. That is what you are here for right? Not some hot model, on the hood, scratching your car...

Where have all the tools gone? What tools are worth a darn? We ask and try to answer, then wander only to return.

Still bare-knuckled talk about cars. Ever want to sit in and talk cars, here is our place to do it.

Three guys talking cars, listen in while the conversation goes places you never thought it would!

No Driving Gloves comes in hot for 2025! New format! No Topics! We return to the original idea- a few car guys sitting around BS'n about cars. So join us as we tell it like we feel!

We randomly pick various years and select what current cars we think we would like to drive.

Are their "Ghost Stories" in the car world? What creapie things relate back to the Automobile?

Dave and John talk style. Have you seen these guys? What do they know about style? Guess you have to listen to find out.

While Derek is away Dave and John take a look at the history of car model names: he longest-continuity models., the names that keep getting reused. The names that are iconic, but reused where they shouldn't be.

Let's Talk about judging- Cars Shows, concour-QUalifications, or lack thereof, how do you do it

We look at various income levels and using responsible budgeting pick the cars we would buy classic and modern. The catch is that it is your only car and your daily driver.

Did you know time. Let's talk automotive facts. The little bits of knowledge that you really should or shouldn't know.

Traveling on the road is almost synopsis with eating. (Well at least road-tripping) We may make some suggestions of places to eat or maybe how to prepare food between destinations, or ? You never know, when your hosts have over a million miles of toads trips.

Dave joins us again and gives us the highlights of his Pebble Beach/Car Week adventures. Then we jump in and discuss options that we have or had in our cars. We talk about the good ones, the ones we dislike, and the ones we will never give up.

The talk is about automotive museums. Why are there so many? Why don't they last? How are they seen in the museum world? What is the purpose of a museum? How should exhibits be presented? No Driving Gloves takes our "gloves off" approach and digs into these questions.

We discuss "Side Hustles", car-related side jobs, or volunteer work you can do in addition to your regular or retirement to get you deeper into the automotive hobby. A friend drops into the studio to join in the conversation.

Makers. Automobile restorers are possibly the most diverse makers on earth (unless you busted myths for a career). The numerous things restorers can do, understand, and/or manage are limitless. John and Derek discuss some of their knowledge and their home shops.
