Two Guys Garage Podcast

Every great mechanic and racer has a story about learning the hard way. Kevin and Willie get candid once again about their most humbling moments, sharing tales of bad paint jobs, an engine fire, a smoked transmission, a wrecked shifter cart, and a fateful day that turned a pristine six-figure race car into a pile of scrap metal. They prove that the path to success is often paved with broken parts and expensive mistakes, but that the struggle often leads to increased strength, greater patience, and valuable knowledge.

Car culture might look different in the age of YouTube and social media, but the defining core obsession remains the same. On this episode, Kevin and Willie delve into modern car culture, comparing their own "busted knuckle" beginnings to today’s tech-savvy young drivers and builders who are jumping straight into high-performance builds, racing, and rewriting the motorsports playbook.

Join Kevin and Willie as they recount their most epic automotive blunders from decades of hot rod building and racing. From over-cammed street cars and nitrous nightmares to the perils of too much horsepower on the track, the guys share many of their hard-earned lessons that transformed mistakes into future motoring triumphs.

From getting kicked out of high school for surfing to becoming the eye behind the most famous car magazine covers in history. Randy Lorentzen joins the guys to talk about his fascinating 45-year career capturing automotive magic. Tune in as he shares how lighting Hollywood starlets in bikinis taught him how to frame the perfect curves of a hot rod; what it’s like to face down Bill Ford in a mahogany boardroom; and why a physical magazine cover will always crush the internet
