THE DRIVE with Alan Taylor | Episode #294

Electric cars, luxury performance, and travel trailers are just a taste of what’s in store for this episode. JoshCAR’s Hollywood Car Consultant, Josh Hancock, raves about the 2018 Maserati Levante,  a performance SUV wrapped in luxury. Next, Josh talks about Telsa’s most affordable yet, the Model 3. Then, we take to the skies with Mark Murphy of TravelPulse who discusses hidden fees and booking mysteries behind our travel plans. Switching gears, we chat with Dan Sandberg, CEO of Brembo North America, about a recent inductee to the Automotive Hall of Fame. After all that excitement, you might need an on-the-ground vacation. Bob Wheeler of Airstream shares the history of iconic travel trailers and talks new trailer models. Hopping over to Connecticut, automotive journalist, George Kennedy, describes his first ever Barrett-Jackson held at the Mohegan Sun. Then, Richard Rawlings fills us in on his new show Garage Rehab and his energy drink, aptly named Gas Monkey Energy. We end with icon Steve Saleen of Saleen Automotive who tells us about the 30-year Championship Edition Saleen Mustangs.

THE DRIVE with Alan Taylor | Episode #293

We begin the hour chatting about the wonderful world of RVing, and BJ Killeen describes her idea of ‘roughing it’. BJ also reviews the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan that is larger than the previous model. Shifting over to something new, Executive Director of Hot August Nights, Mike Whan, tells us all about the event that upwards of 10,000 classic cars will attend. You can look forward to live music, delicious food, cruises, and an autocross track. Next, Karl Brauer, Executive Publisher of Kelley Blue Book, reviews the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S. Then, Karl clears up some confusion on a statement Volvo made regarding all-electric vehicles by 2019. Changing gears back to reviews, Brian Moody, Site Editor for Autotrader, raves about the 2017 Subaru Impreza Sport. He then predicts that the possible remodel of the Honda Accord could determine the future of the sedan market. Flying over to our new guest, we talk with Mark Murphy, Founder of Travelpulse.com, about the classic cars he saw on a recent trip to Cuba. Then Mark educates us on new travel laws looming in the near future. We end the hour with a bang; JoshCAR’s Josh Hancock tells us about two car heist movies that are making waves in Hollywood. Tune in now.
