That Car Show

Today, on That Car Show… it’s Basem Wasef. Author, journalist, content creator, and automotive man about town. Basem is always driving something amazing or checking in from some exotic locale. But it might surprise you how he even broke into this car thing. I’ll give you a hint: sometimes, you just have to ask. Also, we’ve got to say hello to our listeners in Korea, who must be the most loyal on the planet. We’ve been sitting at number 8 on the Korean automotive podcast charts this week. And, you heard it here… If you can get us to number one—Korean listeners—we’ll do an episode just for you. In the meantime, gamsahaeyo. It’s Basem Wasef. It’s That Car Show. And it’s a good one.

Today on That Car Show, we’ve got Melanie White. Melanie’s the fourth-generation leader of Hellwig Products, a legacy California company known for designing and manufacturing high-quality, American-made suspension components. She’s also the Chair of SEMA: the Specialty Equipment Market Association. You know SEMA, and, the giant SEMA Show that takes place each year is Vegas. What does it take to run a thriving manufacturing business in 2026? And what goes into pulling off one of the largest automotive events on the planet? We also dive into the challenges facing the aftermarket, the whole EV thing, and SEMA’s advocacy on behalf of enthusiasts like us. It’s Melanie White… and it’s That Car Show.

Today on That Car Show, it’s our pal Lyn Woodward. Lyn’s the Lead Editor for Content at Kelley Blue Book but she’s done it all, really. Child actor, screenwriter, television producer, rally driver, commentator... She’s written for the New York Times, Forbes, MotorTrend, Autoweek, and The Drive among many others. But no matter the platform, Lyn’s got a great presence and a no-nonsense approach that really puts her in a class of one.

This one clocks in at two hours, but, we promise, it’s worth listening to the end. And, really, we were just getting going. If you like what you hear, let your enthusiast friends know and make sure you follow, subscribe, rate and review. Everyone seems to have a car podcast these days and it’s this support that keeps an independent show like ours going strong. But, back to the show; it's a fun one. It’s Lindsey, it’s Ryan, it’s Lyn Woodward… and it’s That Car Show.

We spill the tea from Arizona Car Week, push the Lucid Gravity through some corners, check in on the Tesla Roadster and settle on the most “mid” cars you can buy today. It’s That Car Show.

Tonight on That Car Show, it's a crew show with Lindsay, Michael and Ryan hanging out for way too long while Danny P's down in Arizona for Scottsdale Car Week. We talk about some of the surprising prices achieved at the recent Mecum auction in Kissimmee, Florida; like almost $18 million for an Enzo. Mecum, you come, we all come. And after the great time we had talking with Hagerty's John Wiley last week, it's the debut of our very own That Car Show BS Market List… the cars that we think are only going to go up this year. Also the absolute worst cars we've ever driven. Here's your trigger warning now, BMW people. All that and a lot of laughs. It's That Car Show.

Tonight on 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘊𝘢𝘳 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘸, we’re joined by John Wiley, Hagerty’s Director of Valuation Analytics. John truly knows his stuff, with real insight into why cars are worth what they are and what the future holds for enthusiasts like us. We also walk you through this year’s Hagerty Bull Market List, revealing a few surprises and digging into John’s rationale and methodology along the way.

Also, we debate peak Mercedes-Benz, get Bratty about the new Gymkhana film and pretend to give dumb automotive gifts. It’s That Car Show.
