Having attended their respective local new car Auto Shows John and Derek discuss some the great things they provide. Of course, they also hit on a few complaints about the shows and maybe a few of the manufactures shortcomings.

McPherson College is talked about often on No Driving Gloves as it is John and Will's alma mater. The first weekend in May the school hosts a car show presented by the Restoration Students.  They take this opportunity to discuss their time at the college and how McPherson has led them to the lives they enjoy today.

A classic gets damaged, does it have an impact on value? Cash. Historic. John and Derek approach these topics. When does a salvage title matter, at what age do we lose concern? Again maybe providing more questions than answers. They close with a serious "sinkhole" of a question.

Geoff Hacker with Undiscovered CLassics and Forgotten Fiberglass joins John and Derek this week to discuss his passion for finding, locating, and saving the creations of automotive innovators from the past. Geoff keeps alive the one-two -or three offs that were created by hand filling someone's dream. Sometimes these cars made a small production run, sometimes not. There are a lot of twists and turns to the conversation in this 65 minutes of discussion.

After tackling major shows last week, all 3 guys join forces to discuss auctions. Too many? Some insight on bidding? Good for the hobby? Can you go just to look and not buy? ALl this and more!

Are there too many national shows/Concours on the calendar? While Derek takes a week off Will and John take a look at this question. They also touch on the life of the self-employed. 

After questioning an award at a major event, the guys decide to discuss the ugly cars, why they might be ugly, and why they aren't ugly (OK mostly John here). In a better late than never episode! John also tried a different editing technique. Give us your feedback.

How do you safely bring a car out of hibernation after 50, 60 or 80 years? We start to touch on that topic. After discussing the Keeneland Concour and the Carriage class and a few personal going on's in John's Life. An exciting time this episode!

The chatter is all about trucks, new models, mini trucks, tailgates $100K half ton, towing. We try to cover it all, put one hour is to little. 

Schedules have the guys buried, but get ready for next week by reviewing one of our earliest episodes! Until next week!
