Avsnitt 352 är här! Krick inleder med ett ovanligt luddigt segment där Ponkan skall välja mellan fyra bilar och fyra skrik. Alltså, det döljer sig något bakom skriket. Går inte att förklara tydligare. Sen blir det en osund diss av Detroit Autorama och årets upplaga av Ridler Award. Har det någonsin varit sämre? Krick fortsätter med lite Shorty Van drömmar och ett Challenger Rally-projekt som har fastnat i huvudet. Efter detta så går vi igenom lyssnarsvaret från Patten och dyker ner i en ny analys. Denna gång av Cigg-Tobbe och hans märkliga dubbelliv där en magisk Lincoln sticker ut ur den grå massan. Häng med!

Bob Larivee, Sr. was born in 1930 and grew up in the Motor City. His father was a painter and Bob's interest in the automotive industry started with the Soap Box Derby. He was studying to be a dentist, but his career path took a drastic turn. In the early 1950s, he got into cars and racing during the golden age of racing that many only dream about. In November of 1959, he started Promotions Incorporated with his brother and charged $1.25 for entry. Imagine that! The indoor car show was a new idea. There was no car activity in the winter. No professional sports. People were craving activity and Bob delivered. By 1982, they were doing 100 shows a year. Bob Larivee, Sr. shares story after story about how he became life-long friends with many industry leaders throughout the years. Listen to hear how it's been said that he was responsible for naming the “Ridler Award”. Or hear about how he ended up at Disneyland with Ed Roth and his family. Bob chuckles, “...being with Ed you never knew what it was going to be.” He also shares the story of how he got Batman and Robin (Adam West and Burt Ward) to attend one of his car shows and how he almost didn't open the doors for John Lennon. Bob Larivee, Sr. is also a published author, Founder of the Automotive Fine Arts Society, a contributor to the Museum of American Speed, and the magic behind the Museum of American Speed's new art gallery.

Andy Leach is the owner of Cal Automotive Creations where he and Ron Cizek, and their team build custom cars. His father got him into cars at the age of 14 and his first car was a 1937 Ford that he learned how to weld and form metal on. He worked with Troy Trepanier at Rad Rides by Troy for 5 years where he honed his talents. Andy and Ron built a 1940 Ford they titled Checkered Past and won the 2013 Ridler Award which was an incredible accomplishment given it was the first car out of their newly formed shop. I had the honor of meeting Andy at The Classic Auto Show in Costa Mesa California where I interviewed him on their Celebrity Stage along with his friend Wayne Carini, another past Cars Yeah guest.
