Tim’s story celebrates classic cars, DIY repairs, and the nostalgic pull of the past. In this episode, he fondly recalls his first car, a ’72 Chevy Monte Carlo handed down from a little old lady, and the pure classic car nostalgia it brought. Tim then relives the trial-by-fire of reviving a clunky Plymouth Horizon TC3 – an early front-wheel-drive requiring a full engine pull to replace the clutch. Through dusty Chilton’s manuals and determination, he restored life to that second car, sparking a lifelong appreciation for restoration stories and automotive technology. Finally, Tim shares regrets over parting with his beloved Isuzu Trooper II and the inventive hack he used to fix its faulty ignition switch.
