May 07, 2020 TGP64 | Brad DeSantis: Viking Starion Funerals
When is it appropriate to scrap a vehicle?
When is it okay to just give up?
In this episode, Brad DeSantis and I explore the intersection of save vs. scrap. Because it’s different for everyone. You might not give a shit about a mint condition, single-owner Mitsubishi Starion being hacked up for LeMons racing—Brad and I, being Mitsubishi guys, would, though.
That said, where I would be perfectly happy if the Chevy Cavalier vanished from the surface of the Earth forever—Brad would disagree, because every car has a place in the automotive history books. And isn’t it a shame when some machines end up just that—memories in history books.

You can do it.

You’re going to love this episode of The Gearhead Story Project. Bryon Dorr tells us how he did just that—quit his job, moved into a Sportsmobile, and started building the life he wanted around sharing the things he likes doing.

April 09, 2020 TGP62 | Dean Fredrick Clark: Why don't you just buy a Porsche?
Simpler times.
We tend to look back on the past and think things were simpler. And, to some extent, they were—but how much of that simplicity comes from the benefit of hindsight? Things were legitimately different. And ignorance is bliss.
Today’s answer to “Why don’t you just buy a Porsche?” is pretty easy. Because they’re funking expensive! But there was a time when 911s and 914s were considered “overpriced Volkswagens.”

What would you say you do here?
What would you say WE do here?
If we can’t explain it in 60 seconds or less, how can we expect you to know what TGP is all about?

February 20, 2020 TGP60 | The Best Advice (You've Never Taken)
What’s the best advice you’ve never taken? You know, those common sense things you know are true, but that you know you’ve ignored for some reason or another?
I was just thinking about how many times I’ve been burned by not taking my own advice. It’s almost like the biggest thing standing in our way these days is us.

February 06, 2020 TGP59 | Alcan 5000 Drives Frozen Focus
We know the project car will never be finished. We know perfection is the enemy of done. So why do we keep using perfection as a measure of our readiness for big, life-changing adventures?
Andy & Mercedes are doing the 2020 Alcan Winter Rally. When you need to be at the starting line February 26th, ready to drive 5,000 frozen miles to the Arctic Circle, your automotive to-do list gets real tight.

January 30, 2020 TGP58 | That New Car Smell
Who else wants to review new cars?
Newsflash: Nobody’s going to give you a shot if you don’t have a body of work showing you’re willing and able to do the work. If you really want to do something—just do it. Start as small as you have to, but please start.

January 29, 2020 TGP57 | The Cyber Singer
It’s easy to get excited about a Singer 911 or the perfect overlanding rig. Attention to detail and follow-through make for meaningful projects—but that doesn’t mean we have to go that far to experience that kind of quality for ourselves.
Thoughtful projects, well-executed, can probably get us close enough for our needs. Consider the simple, stock overland rig or the Honda Civic Cyber Night Japan Cruiser 2020, for example. Attention to detail doesn’t have to mean lots of details.

Super Sonic!
We’ve all written things down so we wouldn’t forget them. When was the last time you wrote something down you could forget it? What if I told you they were the same thing?

My guest this evening is Chase Maser. He's a freelance content marketer I met through my day job at ClearVoice—but he's also a poet, an actor, a musician, and a caterer who just so happens to flip cars on the side to keep things interesting.
