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.
