• 45 Years of MotorWeek, John Davis' Unforgettable Pantera:

  Click here to share your favorite car, car story or any automotive trivia!In 1975, before he became MotorWeek's trusted voice for 45 seasons, John Davis had a purchase decision to make: Jensen Interceptor or De Tomaso Pantera? Both were exotic cars with American engines he could actually work on. He chose the Pantera—specifically a two-year-old 1973 L model he found in Norfolk, Virginia.The catch? A family bought it for their son's high school graduation. The son promptly wrecked it. They had it partially repaired, sent him to the Navy, and sold it to John.John drove it home and completely disassembled it. Every part. His entire apartment became a workshop—engine components in the kitchen, transmission parts in the bedroom, body panels in the living room.Italian exotic styling. Ford 351 Cleveland V8 power. American engineering he could wrench on himself.He rebuilt everything that didn't move. Daily Driver until 1979Decades later, after reviewing thousands of cars on America's longest-running automotive TV show, one truth remains: "I still miss that car today."The host who's driven everything shares the restoration story that started it all—complete with apartment management nightmares and why choosing American-powered exotics changed his automotive journey. *** Your Favorite Automotive Podcast - Now Arriving Weekly!!! *** Listen on your favorite platform and visit https://carsloved.com for full episodes, our automotive blog, Guest Road Trip Playlist and our new CAR-ousel of Memories photo archive.

• From Borrowed Ferraris to 70-Car Fleet: The Xtreme Experience

  Click here to share your favorite car, car story or any automotive trivia!Fifteen years ago, Adam Olalde knocked on every supercar dealership and exotic car owner's door in Chicago with an audacious pitch: "Can I borrow your Ferrari? I'm putting together this cool thing."Enough people said yes. His first track day event? Pure comedy. No helmets, no walkie-talkies, just people in borrowed supercars told to "go that way." Most spun into the sand and never made it back around.He charged $150 (versus $2,000/day rentals). Thousands showed up. Light bulb moment achieved.Today, The Xtreme Experience runs 50-60 events nationwide with 70 supercars, 20 mechanics, and 2 semi trucks. Last year alone: 88,000 people drove supercars. Total since 2012: nearly 500,000 drivers.Most popular? Ferrari edges Lamborghini, but the C8 Corvette "moves people the most" when they exit.Adam's philosophy: "Always turn around and look at your car one more time." His first car was a '95 Pontiac Grand Prix from his dad. His AC/DC anthem: "For Those About to Rock." His dream car: Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series in yellow.His daily driver? Burnt copper Mercedes G63 AMG—"sounds like a boat, burns 3 gallons per minute. Wouldn't trade it for anything." *** Your Favorite Automotive Podcast - Now Arriving Weekly!!! *** Listen on your favorite platform and visit https://carsloved.com for full episodes, our automotive blog, Guest Road Trip Playlist and our new CAR-ousel of Memories photo archive.

• First Car at 8, Ferrari Dealer at 30: Colleen Sheehan's BMW Story

  Click here to share your favorite car, car story or any automotive trivia!Learning manual transmission is nerve-wracking. Learning it the day before driving your first car across the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance podium at age 11? That's how classic car dealer Colleen Sheehan started.Her first car was a 1930 BMW—nicknamed "Sputter"—that her father took as commission when a collection buyer said, "I don't care about that car." Colleen got it at age 8. At 11, she earned 3rd in class at Pebble Beach.Sputter is extraordinary: wooden frame, cable brakes, 35 mph top speed. "If you hit a possum, the whole thing shatters...and the possum walks away cussing." Possibly the oldest BMW in America. She owns 2 of the estimated 4-5 in the US.That passion led to Next Generation Classics, her California dealership specializing in Enzo-era Ferraris and exotic cars. While her twin brother chose computers, Colleen chose restoration, sales, and the collector car world. She names all her cars: Lancia Delta Integrale rally car "Guido," Tahoe "Betsy," second BMW "Putter."Her dream car? Ferrari Competition Daytona 365GTB4c —only 15 ever made.Philosophy? "I'd rather drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow."Sputter sits in her garage, never to be sold.Listen to Colleen's favorite episode, Dora's Datsun here - https://www.buzzsprout.com/2316026/episodes/14948807-from-datsun-to-range-rover-what-dora-s-first-car-taught-her-about-success *** Your Favorite Automotive Podcast - Now Arriving Weekly!!! *** Listen on your favorite platform and visit https://carsloved.com for full episodes, our automotive blog, Guest Road Trip Playlist and our new CAR-ousel of Memories photo archive.
