This week on the pod, Dave Kinney swings by to join Larry and Cameron to talk about the state of the classic car marketplace, what's going on, what the overall market rating is (slightly down) and what the market index (slightly up) means. It's a wacky market, but Dave is able to make sense of it. Why? Because, besides buying and selling way, way too many cars in his career, he's also the publisher of the Hagerty Price Guide. So if anyone knows what's going on in the marketplace, it's Dave. If you're curious yourself, give this episode a listen.

This week on Never Stop Driving Larry has Freddy "Tavarish" Hernandez on the podcast. You may have heard of Freddy from his absolutely insane YouTube project where he acquired *the* hurricane soaked, salvage title McLaren P1 and is currently going down the long, long, long road of bringing it back to life and getting it back on the road. If you've ever looked at the Copart website late at night wondering "what if," rest assured, Freddy has done the same and then followed through on it. Freddy was also featured in the most recent issue of the Hagerty Drivers Club magazine and that article can also be found on the Hagerty Media website here: https://www.hagerty.com/media/people/how-freddy-tavarish-hernandez-built-a-youtube-exotic-repair-kingdom/

If you've owned a few cars, you've most likely (at some point) had to have some auto body repair work done to a vehicle. And you probably had a lot of questions during that process! Lucky for you, this week Larry has Gary Sobbry on the show and he's just the guy to answer some of those questions. Gary is a professor at Washtenaw Community College where he teaches the next generation of people about auto body work and repairs and how to do things the right way, with care and craft, instead of as quickly and cheaply as possible. Which, if you're listening to this pod, you care about!
