Nostalgia gets the best of our host Kevin Oeste as he stumbles across a car he's been seeking for 32 years... and it's a van!   A custom 1979 Dodge Maxivan, to be specific, very similar to the one his family bought back in 1984.   On this episode of the V8 Radio Podcast, Mike "Q-Ball" Clarke is super excited to hear the whole story on this magic bus, and hopefully you'll dig it, too.    What's Kevin going to do with it?   We'll find out!  There's always some laughs and a couple good Automotive Trivia questions on the V8 Radio Podcast!

The 2022 V8TV Drive In Cruise was a success, although a bit wet at times.   We were happy to finally fulfill the destiny of having Mike "Q-Ball" Clarke's 1967 Pontiac GTO, Pauls Wieshuber's 1962 Buick Electra, and Kevin Oeste's 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 XL all at the Drive In event!   There were hundreds of cool cars at the show, and it turned out to be a great night.    (The ride home was a bit wet!)   Paul and Mike had a few minor fixes, but overall the trip went smoothly.   Hear all about it, plus some riveting Automotive Trivia questions and much more on the V8 Radio Podcast!
