How to Choose the Best Camping Setup for the Way You RideBefore you start comparing motorcycle tents, sleeping pads, stoves, chairs, pack sizes, and weights, there is an important question to answer. In this episode, Ben Williams from Moto Camp Nerd talks about a simple way to think through your motorcycle camping setup before you start buying gear, so your choices are based on the way you actually ride and travel, not just someone else's packing list. Michnus and Elsebie Olivier of PikiPiki Overland and Turkana Gear also share lessons learned from years of motorcycle travel, including what they've overpacked, what they've replaced, and what has earned a permanent place in their kit. It's a practical conversation about choosing gear with purpose, not just following the latest trends.
In Podcast #380, John Davis and the MotorWeek crew are all about trucks and SUVs today! We start things off with the recently unveiled HEMI-powered RAM 1500 Rumble Bee SRT. Then a vehicle that might not be on your radar, the INEOS Grenadier, which is one man's modern take on the classic Land Rover Defender 110. Then we finish up with our first drive report on the long-awaited Rivian R2, smaller kin to the familiar R1S. Plus, we have a Lightning Round that analyzes Texas's increasing overall market share in the country and how it could impact what vehicles we see on sale. Plus a viewer question about whether premium fuel helps with fuel efficiency in any vehicle.
What does it take to transform horsepower, history, and emotion into fine art? This week on The Collector Car Podcast, I sit down with internationally recognized automotive artist Shannon Fannin to discuss her unique journey from car enthusiast to acclaimed vehicle painter. Known for blending photorealism with abstract elements, Shannon's work captures everything from classic American iron and European sports cars to motorcycles and aircraft. Her paintings have been exhibited around the world and are found in collections across North America, Europe, and Asia. We discuss how she developed her distinctive style, the challenge of capturing reflections and movement on canvas, the stories behind some of her favorite commissions, and why automotive art plays such an important role in preserving car culture for future generations. Whether you're a collector, enthusiast, artist, or simply appreciate beautiful machinery, this conversation offers a fascinating look at the intersection of art and automobiles.

In this episode of What the Fixed Ops?!, hosts Russell Hill and Charity Dunning sit down with Dennis McGinn, founder of Rapid Recon and co-founder of Workflow Live, for an insightful conversation about dealership accountability, operational excellence, leadership, and the transformative role of AI in automotive retail.Dennis shares the story behind building Rapid Recon into one of the most widely adopted dealership technologies in the industry, helping thousands of dealerships dramatically improve reconditioning times, inventory turns, and profitability. He explains how a lack of accountability, visibility, and trust in data continues to create bottlenecks across dealership operations—and why solving those challenges became the foundation of his success.The conversation then shifts to Workflow Live, Dennis's latest venture, which leverages artificial intelligence to help dealerships move from reactive firefighting to proactive leadership. Dennis explains how AI can help general managers identify operational bottlenecks, align teams around measurable goals, improve execution, and create accountability across every department.This discussion goes far beyond technology. It explores leadership, culture, process improvement, organizational alignment, and what it takes to build systems that drive sustainable growth in modern dealerships.We talk about:How Rapid Recon transformed dealership reconditioningWhy accountability remains one of the industry's biggest challengesThe hidden cost of operational bottlenecksWhy dealership teams struggle to trust dataThe role of leadership in driving performanceHow great general managers create alignmentWhy reactive management limits dealership growthThe importance of measuring what mattersDennis also shares powerful insights on dealership culture, employee buy-in, process improvement, data integrity, and why the future of automotive retail belongs to organizations that can effectively align people, processes, and technology.His message is clear: dealerships don't have a technology problem—they have an execution problem. Success comes from creating accountability, building trust in the data, empowering employees, and giving leaders the tools they need to focus on what matters most.This is a high-level, future-focused conversation about dealership operations, leadership, artificial intelligence, accountability, and the systems that will define the next generation of automotive retail.BE THE 1ST TO KNOW.

Auto retailers are gaining momentum on the heels of increased sales and finance volume even as the industry navigates continued affordability headwinds. Carvana last week opened its first test-drive center in Dallas after acquiring seven Stellantis dealerships to expand into new-car sales. The Tempe, Ariz.-based retailer sells new and used vehicles online and reported a 40% year-over-year increase in retail sales in the first quarter to 187,393 units. Retailer CarMax also reported a 3.3% YoY uptick in combined retail and wholesale used-vehicle sales in Q1, while CarMax Auto Finance's originations rose 5.5% YoY to $2.4 billion. From an affordability perspective, interest rates on new- and used-vehicle loans declined by mid-June. The national average interest rate on a 60-month loan for a new car decreased 97 basis points YoY to 6.74% as of June 15, according to Curinos. With lower rates and longer-term loans, consumers are opting to refinance their auto loans for lower monthly payments. Lenders also are adding more longer-term loans into asset-backed securitization deals as 72-plus-month terms gain traction. At the same time, auto financiers are keeping a close eye on funding costs and loan performance. Meanwhile, powersports companies have been active with capital funding ventures this month. Octane sold a $340 million portfolio of powersports and outdoor power equipment loans to Bayview Asset Management, while California-based electric RV startup Evotrex raised $30 million in series A financing. In this episode of “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris, Senior Associate Editor Aidan Bush and Associate Editor C.J. Moore discuss top trends across sales, affordability, funding and powersports.

This time, the guys dive deep into the chaotic, unscripted realities of owning and building classic cars. From Kevin's hilarious (and soaked) misadventure driving his top-down '62 Ford Galaxie convertible through a torrential downpour without working windshield wipers, to Mike's update on his ongoing '67 GTO project, the garage banter is in full gear. Kevin also shares a detailed recap of his recent trip to Washington, D.C. with SEMA, advocating for the "Right to Modify" and explaining how advanced safety tech impacts the future of hot rodding. Plus, the V8 Speed and Resto Shop Engine Shop is absolutely humming with engine builds, including Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, Cadillacs, and a very stubborn Buick 350. Topics Covered The Anatomy of a Rainout: Kevin recounts getting trapped on the highway in his '62 Ford Galaxie convertible during a sudden storm with an inoperable hydraulic top and missing wiper arms. Engine Shop Chronicles: A look inside the booming V8 Speed and Resto Engine Shop, highlighting the trials of a finicky Buick 350 timing cover, numbers-matching Chevelles, and a rare Palisade Green '70 GTO. SEMA Takes D.C.: Kevin breaks down his recent trip to Washington, D.C., educating lawmakers on the ADAS Integrity Act and preserving our freedom to modify vehicles without government intervention. Tuning and Fuel Economy Woes: Kevin tries to solve the mystery of why his fuel-injected, overdrive Galaxy is suddenly getting worse mileage after a complete 20-year tune-up. PLUS: Automotive Trivia Questions (No Spoilers!) What does the "SC" stand for in the classic American Motors Corporation (AMC) SC/Rambler produced from 1958 to 1969? How many total Pontiac Firebird convertibles were built across all generations?

Why Robert Pirsig's Famous Motorcycle Book Mattered to Him — And Why it Didn'tTed Simon is best known as the author of Jupiter's Travels, one of the most influential motorcycle travel books ever written. Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is another book that has long held a strange place in motorcycling culture: widely known, often recommended, and perhaps just as often left unfinished. In this conversation, Ted talks about finally reading Pirsig's famous book and why it matters to him in a way listeners might not expect. Is it really a motorcycle book? Why has it stayed in the minds of riders for so many years? And what does motorcycle maintenance mean when the machine beneath you is not just a symbol, but the thing that determines whether the journey continues? What begins with one famous motorcycle book soon opens into Ted's own memories of travel, breakdowns, repair, and the very practical reality of keeping a journey alive when there is no easy answer and no one else to do the work.

Are voice actors now expected to be on call 24/7, travel with gear everywhere they go, and never miss an audition? That's the question audiobook and narration voice actor Amy Tallmadge brought to Marc Scott after hearing some interesting conversations at VO Atlanta - and the answer might give you permission to actually enjoy your next vacation. Marc gives his honest take on whether the industry has genuinely changed its expectations, or whether something else is really driving the always-on mentality that so many voice actors feel. Inside this episode: Whether the 24/7 on-call expectation is a real industry shift or mostly FOMO in disguise Which voiceover genres actually do have higher availability requirements - and why commercial in general is not one of them The grocery store story - how FOMO over missed auditions drove Marc off pay-to-play sites entirely How early delivery built Marc's business fast - and what the old guard had to say about it Whether casting directors really listen to every audition - and what that means for the ones you submit late Marc's practical travel kit setup for when you do want to record on the road Why Amy's return to commercial VO may have fewer barriers than she thinks You get to decide what kind of voice actor career you want to build. This episode is a reminder that the industry isn't taking that choice away from you.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode How are automotive technicians learning today, and who is investing in their future? Matt Shepanek, President of the ASE Training Managers Council (ATMC), discusses the findings of the 2026 ATMC Benchmark Survey. The survey offers valuable insight into technician education, training preferences, emerging technologies, and the industry's commitment to continuous learning. The conversation highlights significant differences between dealerships and independent repair shops, reveals what technicians most want to learn, and reinforces why ongoing professional development remains essential in an era of rapidly advancing vehicle technology. What You'll Learn How dealerships continue to lead the way in training investment, paying for technician education 85% of the time, while many independent technicians still share the cost or pay out of pocket.Why Hybrid/EV systems and Electrical/Electronics training top the list of requested subjects as vehicle technology continues to evolve.What the survey reveals about technician learning preferences and why hands-on, instructor-led training remains the gold standard despite the growth of online education.The wide gap in annual training hours, from technicians receiving no structured education to others completing more than 56 hours each year.Why continuous learning has become a business necessity, not an option, for shops hoping to remain competitive and profitable. The 2026 ATMC Benchmark Survey reinforces a simple truth: the future belongs to technicians and shops that embrace lifelong learning. As vehicles become increasingly dependent on advanced electrical systems, software, hybrid technology, and diagnostics, professional development is no longer a luxury. Shops that invest in training, provide access to relevant education, and foster a culture of continuous improvement will be better positioned to attract talent, improve performance, and thrive in a rapidly changing automotive landscape.

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us Fan MailThe automotive ERP market remains one of the most operationally complex and ecosystem-driven segments within enterprise software in 2026, making ERP selection highly dependent on business model alignment, manufacturing architecture, and supplier ecosystem participation. Automotive ERP spans organizations of all sizes, from emerging EV startups to global OEMs and multi-tier suppliers, yet the operational requirements across OEMs, Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 manufacturers differ dramatically in terms of compliance, traceability, production strategies, quality management, and supply chain coordination. As a result, no single ERP platform universally fits every automotive environment. One of the most important evaluation criteria is understanding whether an organization operates in a manufacturing execution-centric model—where MES integration, plant-floor coordination, machine connectivity, and real-time production visibility dominate—or a more ERP-centric model focused on procurement orchestration, forecasting, compliance management, and financial coordination. In addition, major automotive ecosystems such as Toyota, Honda, Ford, BMW, and Tesla often impose highly specialized supplier collaboration standards, EDI frameworks, and operational protocols that shape ERP vendor alignment strategies. While these ecosystem-specific optimizations can create strong operational fit within certain automotive networks, they may also introduce challenges when organizations expand across different supplier ecosystems, making historical industry alignment and ecosystem depth critical factors during ERP evaluation.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top automotive ERP systems in 2026. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these ERP systems. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each ERP system.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k5ObVkvPMoRead: https://www.elevatiq.com/post/automotive-erp-systems/Questions for Panelists?
In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, Lee Sibley and Andy Brookes sit down with Henry and Danny from Lakeside Classics for an unfiltered, deep-dive evaluation of the current Porsche landscape. Henry and Danny bring their front-line dealer expertise to the studio to unpack some incredibly nuanced—and potentially controversial—trends dictating values, buyer behavior, and vehicle availability right now.In this episode, we break down: Why It's a Seller's Market: Despite broader economic headwinds, high-quality Porsches are locked in a definitive seller's market. We explain why serious buyers are competing over a shortage of top-tier stock. Market Manipulation Exposed: Henry and Danny explain how and why certain sectors of the marketplace at large are facing artificial manipulation right now, and how savvy enthusiasts can spot it. The Flight to the Vintage: Why there is a massive, accelerating appreciation for older cars. Buyers are moving away from digital complexity and heavily investing in analog, visceral driving experiences. The Outliers: A close look at the highly unique, low-volume, and specific spec Porsches that are quietly bucking the curves and rapidly climbing in value.Whether you are looking to trade up, cash out, or just want the ultimate insider knowledge on the health of the UK Porsche industry, this is a masterclass in market literacy.9WERKS RADIO PARTNERS: Heritage Parts Centre: Proud sponsors of 9WERKS Radio.

Chinese automakers were once dismissed as low-quality imitators. Today, companies like BYD are producing vehicles that many industry experts say rival Western competitors on technology, quality, and price. As Chinese brands gain market share around the world, Congress is moving to keep them out of the United States. Automotive expert Lauren Fix joins us to explain why lawmakers and automakers see Chinese vehicles as a growing threat and whether America can realistically keep them out for good.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Carm Capriotto sits down with Todd Fortier, retiring automotive professor and program coordinator from Illinois Central College, to discuss a lesson learned over three decades in education: anyone can teach, but becoming a true educator requires purpose, empathy, and continuous growth. Todd shares how his passion for education was sparked by helping students experience those breakthrough "lightbulb moments" and why the ultimate goal of teaching is not simply delivering information, but ensuring meaningful knowledge transfer. As he prepares for retirement, Todd reflects on the challenges facing automotive education and his mission to help develop the next generation of industry instructors. What You'll Learn Why technical expertise alone doesn't make someone an effective instructorHow educators can improve knowledge transfer and student engagementTodd's "Three C's" framework: Concern, Cause, and CorrectionWhy connection, empathy, and vulnerability are critical teaching toolsHow to identify the root causes behind student disengagementThe importance of recognizing the personal challenges students bring into the classroomWhy many students leave training programs early and how educators can help retain themHow trainers and mentors can evolve into true educatorsThe soft skills needed to successfully connect with today's students and technicians The best educators do more than share information, they build relationships. Todd Fortier's career demonstrates that teaching is most effective when instructors combine technical knowledge with empathy, curiosity, and genuine human connection. As the automotive industry works to address technician shortages and workforce development challenges, creating better educators may be one of the most important investments the industry can make.
