Back to the ’80s and Beyond: Jim’s Camaro Comebacks and DeLorean Dreams
Click here to share your favorite car, car story or any automotive trivia!
Jim Gravina invites us on a cross-country cruise through his life, filled with classic cars and a touch of magic. Growing up in the ’80s, Jim’s first love is his 1980 Camaro Z28 – a loud, proud muscle car that symbolized freedom on the streets of Syracuse. He then recounts a practical turn with a ’98 Chevy Cavalier and a modern 2014 Mazda 6 as career and family life evolved, proving you can balance car passion with daily responsibility. Yet Jim’s story has a show-stopper: his acquisition of a 1981 DeLorean (yes, complete with gull-wing doors and pop culture flair). He shares delightful details of performing “magic tricks” with the DeLorean at car shows and the car trivia that surrounds this legendary vehicle. Throughout the episode, Jim’s emotional connection to his cars shines – from rebuilding an engine with his dad to using his vehicles to bring joy to others (like surprising kids with rides in the “time machine”).
Jim loved the episode with Brian, "From Ford Tempo to Flux Capacitor – Brian’s High-Octane Car History" https://www.buzzsprout.com/2316026/episodes/15046730-ford-tempo-as-your-first-car-brian-s-unique-car-history
Listeners will come away smiling and inspired, having learned about car restoration and the power of car community, all while riding shotgun on Jim’s heartfelt, nostalgia-fueled journey.
