Click here to tell us about your favorite car, car story or automotive trivia !In this auto-adventure-packed episode of To All The Cars I've Loved Before, hosts Christian and Doug welcome SpeedyCop (Jeff Bloch)—YouTube/TikTok sensation, retired cop, and master of turning junkyard cast-offs into rolling masterpieces. From his very first car, a 1967 Chevelle station wagon “family heirloom,” to his world-famous upside-down Camaro and amphibious helicopter race car, SpeedyCop shares the craftsmanship skills and creative spark behind each build.Whether you're into car restoration, classic cars, or simply love a good car story, you'll be inspired by how an overactive imagination and a love for vintage lifestyle vehicles can transform rusting hulks into beloved cars that melt faces at every show.What happens when creativity, mechanical genius, and a self-described "extreme case of ADHD" combine? You get Speedy Cop, the automotive artist turning junkyard scraps into viral sensations that literally stop traffic and "melt faces" across the globe.In this captivating episode, we dive deep with Jeff Bloch, better known as SpeedyCop, who reveals the origins of his extraordinary talent for transforming discarded vehicles into jaw-dropping masterpieces. Jeff shares how his creative journey began with a family heirloom—a 1967 Chevelle station wagon with holes so large "you could literally reach inside the vehicle from outside and wave your hand around." From these humble beginnings fixing his grandmother's car with chicken wire and Bondo, Jeff developed a philosophy of "repurpose, recycle, and reuse" that would define his career.The conversation takes us through Jeff's greatest hits: the world-famous upside-down Camaro that's still running 11 years after being built in three weeks in his driveway; the "Spirit of Lemons" street-legal airplane car made from an abandoned 1956 Cessna 310 that runs 12-second quarter miles; and the sideways Volkswagen camper that generated over 156 million views online. With each story, Jeff reveals the thinking process behind these seemingly impossible creations, giving listeners unprecedented insight into where creative ideas truly originate.Perhaps most fascinating is Jeff's revelation that his extraordinary creativity comes without chemical enhancement—"I've never done drugs in my entire life"—but rather from what he calls a "God-given overactive imagination" coupled with his ADHD. Now retired after 27 years in law enforcement, Jeff's creative output is accelerating at his 20-acre mountaintop property in Tennessee, where he has "several lifetimes worth of projects" waiting to be built.In this auto-adventure-packed episode of To All The Cars I've Loved Before, hosts Christian and Doug welcome SpeedyCop (Jeff Bloch)—YouTube/TikTok sensation, retired cop, and master of turning junkyard cast-offs into rolling masterpieces.

Click here to send a text to Christian and Doug with your contact infoStep into the world of air-cooled engines, handwritten carbon copy receipts, and a family legacy spanning over a century with Guinevere of Freecia Brothers. From her first car—a Tropicana Orange Karmann Ghia that proved challenging to drive—to her current rotation of beloved VWs including a 1963 Beetle named "Lily" and a 1987 Cabriolet called "Gadget," Guinevere's life has been shaped by these iconic vehicles.Located on dealership row in Greenwich, Connecticut, the Freecia Brothers shop started by painting horse-drawn carriages before evolving with the automotive industry. Today, they specialize in air-cooled Volkswagens, Porsches, and Corvairs. What makes these vehicles so special? Beyond their mechanical simplicity and distinctive chirping sound, they're conversation starters. "Everyone has a Volkswagen story," Guinevere explains, noting that she allocates extra time for errands when driving Lily because strangers inevitably approach to share their own VW memories.After studying fine art photography, Guinevere returned to the family business in 2012, finding it still operating with rotary phones and no computer. She gradually modernized their approach while preserving essential traditions—her father still insists on using carbon copy paper for receipts. This balance of old and new perfectly represents the Volkswagen community: honoring history while ensuring these beloved cars continue running for future generations.Whether restoring flood-damaged dune buggies, replacing convertible tops, or simply keeping these automotive icons on the road, the Freecia Brothers team brings passion and expertise to every project. As Guinevere puts it, "We just want to keep them on the road. Just want to make people happy." Connect with this remarkable family business at https://linktr.ee/FrecciaBrothers and discover why, after 102 years, their garage door still points true north—a fitting symbol for their unwavering dedication to classic automobiles.#frecciabrothers #connecticut #greenwich #vw #karmannghia #beetle #aircooled #family #toallthecarsivelovedbefore #everycarhasaculture #EveryCarTellsAStoryNew episodes drop every other Tuesday.

Click here to send a text to Christian and Doug with your contact infoFrom a childhood surrounded by RX-7s to steering vehicle launches at Mazda USA https://www.mazdausa.com, Jon Leverett's automotive journey proves that passion can drive unexpected career paths.Growing up with a family collection totaling twenty Mazda RX-7s and an older brother who rebuilt rotary engines, Jon developed an early, intimate connection with the brand that would eventually employ him. His first car—a 1988 RX-7 GXL with an engine rebuilt by his brother—established rotary power as his mechanical baseline, making conventional piston engines feel foreign when he later switched to a BMW 525i and then Volvo C30 R-Design.Despite pursuing architecture in college and beginning his professional career in that field, Jon couldn't shake his automotive enthusiasm. The pivotal moment came when architectural colleagues expressed surprise that cars were designed at all, revealing the disconnect between his passion and profession. This realization prompted a bold move—leaving his architecture career to start at a Mazda dealership, positioning himself for an industry transition.This strategic career pivot paid off quickly. Within eight months, Jon landed a position at Mazda North America, beginning a seven-plus year journey through four different roles culminating in his current position as Launch Strategy Manager. Now orchestrating vehicle launches for the brand that first sparked his passion, Jon particularly treasures working on the MX-5 projects, including recent updates and the 35th anniversary edition - https://www.mazdausa.com/vehicles/mx-5-miata/heritageJon's story highlights how childhood influences can shape professional trajectories in unexpected ways, and how stepping back temporarily can sometimes propel you forward toward your true calling. His experience demonstrates that when it comes to career paths, sometimes the most rewarding journeys don't follow a straight line.#carsloved #everycartellsastory #automobile #automotive #podcast #carcast #everycarhasaculture #everycartellsastory #toallthecarsivelovedbefore #mazda #rx7 #zoomzoom #rotary #wankel #mazdausa #dreamjob #fc #bmw #5series #e39 #volvo #volvoC30 #C30New episodes drop every other Tuesday.

In our latest episode, we transport you into the world where passion for preservation meets craftsmanship. Our guest, Tom, a seasoned mechanic enchanted by the allure of the 250 short wheelbase Ferrari, shares his journey from awe-struck enthusiast to a dedicated restorer. His mentor, François Sicard, played an instrumental role in shaping his path, and you'll hear how their shared love for the intricate art of restoration blossomed into Tom's renowned blog, tomyang.net.Tom offers a fascinating glimpse into the delicate balance between old-world craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology like 3D printing. While modern innovations present exciting possibilities, they can't quite capture the essence that defines these classics. We unpack the challenges and triumphs in sourcing authentic parts and maintaining the elegance of vintage car interiors. With stories of influential figures like Ralph Lauren, we explore the fine line between enhancing a car to perfection and preserving its authentic imperfections, a debate that continues to shape the restoration world.Our passion for Italian design and the joy of mentoring the next generation of car enthusiasts threads through the conversation. From personal stories of driving that first car to celebrating the art behind every restoration project, we paint a picture of a lifelong journey driven by a love for cars and craftsmanship. Join us as we revel in the timeless appeal of Italian aesthetics, and reflect on the invaluable lessons learned from masters like Francois Sicard, all while setting the stage for future automotive aficionados.#tomyang #ferrari #330america #carsloved #toallthecarsivelovedbefore #classic #carburetor #everycartellsastory #everycarhasaculture #v12New episodes drop every other Tuesday.
