THE DRIVE with Alan Taylor | Episode #367

While Alan was in New York providing the audience of  LIVE with Kelly and Ryan with rapid fire automotive information on exclusive debuts, the industry was awash with news. Alan also didn’t get to attend the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS), but thankfully Founder, Editor, and Publisher of Rides and Drives, Harvey Briggs, fills us in on some of the SUVs, the Cadillac CT5, BAC Mono, and other exciting vehicles he saw at the show. Also, learn about Alan’s test drive of the amazing 2020 Kia Telluride, and Harvey’s ride in the BMW M5 Competition. Next up, President of Boss One Media and ALL OUT Live, Brian Bossone, tells us about the first ever drag race game show, made for the grassroots motorsports enthusiast. Changing lanes, Collins Bros. Jeep and Black Mountain Jeep Owner, Dennis Collins, gives us an update on his businesses, “Bring A Trailer”, One Lap of America, and his most recent barn finds. Then, we chat about waning public interest in electric vehicles, Ford’s deal with Rivian, and Tesla ’s bad stock and production performance with automotive journalist, BJ Killeen. Shifting gears, JoshCAR Hollywood Car Consultant, Josh Hancock, shares his favorite displays and cars from NYIAS, including Subaru’s spectacular forest display. Also, Josh informs us about the Petersen Automotive Museum’s new exhibit: Hollywood Dream Machines. Closing out the show, Kelley Blue Book, Autotrader, Dealer.com Executive Publisher, Karl Brauer, discusses why he thinks there might not be a road back from where Tesla has fallen in this past quarter, and how Ford’s exceeding of expectations and partnership with Rivian set them up to dominate in the future. Tune in for the latest automotive news.

THE DRIVE with Alan Taylor | Episode #348

Sometimes the fact that an engine is powerful isn’t enough. You want to feel its strength and hear its roar! That’s why Alan loves a great V8 block. As the 2018 SEMA Show draws nearer, Owner of Collins Bros Jeep, Dennis Collins, shares how he’s upping the ante on 6.4L Hemi Jeep Wrangler JL builds with a 707 hp V8 Hellcat engine. We also hear about some amazing new finds that Dennis has uncovered with his ‘Classics Wanted Dead or Alive’ initiative. Next, Autotrader Executive Editor, Brian Moody, discusses some amazing V8 powered cars for under $30,000, and explains why buying certified pre-owned is usually a much better deal than buying new, thanks to value depreciation. Then, automotive journalist BJ Killeen plays devils advocate for V6 engines like the 3.5L Ford EcoBoost, and gives her review of the 2019 Kia Forte. Switching gears, we take time to remember the amazing life, work, and legacy of Burt Reynolds and the cars he owned, with Restore A Muscle Car Owner/Operator, Dave Hall. Lastly, we close out the show with an interview from two years ago with Burt Reynolds. Rest in peace, Burt, you are missed.
