THE DRIVE with Alan Taylor | Episode #361

Periodically, a person is born who perseveres through the thick and thin to do great things. We pay homage to one such man with our first guest, industry veteran and author of “Enzo Ferrari: Power, Politics and the Making of an Automobile Empire”, Luca Dal Monte. Enzo’s life was a rollercoaster ride, from his involvement in World War 1, to the death of his first born son, to the founding of Scuderia Ferrari, and eventual creation of one of the most iconic brand of cars the world has ever known. Shifting gears, we chat with serial entrepreneur and star of Fast N’ Loud and Garage Rehab, Richard Rawlings, about the new season of Garage Rehab and upcoming season of Fast N’ Loud. Also, hear about Richard’s planned reveal of a 1972 Boattail Riviera at the SEMA Show 2019, thoughts on the new Chevrolet Blazer and Ford Bronco, wayward Ferrari F40, and other upcoming events. Closing the show, automotive journalist, BJ Killeen, updates us on the financial woes of Elon Musk and Tesla, Carlos Ghosn situation in Japanese prison, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) recent pedestrian safety test results in which the 2019 BMW X1 didn’t fare so well. Tune in for more on Enzo Ferrari, Garage Rehab, Fast N’ Loud, and the latest automotive news.

James Bell of KIA talks about the ‘engineered for fun’, KIA Stinger, with its rear wheel bias all-wheel drive designed for excellent performance handling.

In the second hour, we flash back to one of our favorite shows from 2017 featuring Burt Reynold’s Trans Am, Josh Hancock’s review of The Classic Auto Show, BJ Killeen’s review of the KIA Niro Hybrid and we explore some future innovations with KBB’s Karl Brauer.
