ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
This is where performance car ownership gets honest. No press cars. No BS or fluff. Just real conversations about what it's actually like to own, maintain, track and live with cars like Porsche, Toyota GR, Viper, Corvette, BMW M, Lotus, Audi RS, and other performance vehicles.
I'm Gary, creator of the YouTube channel "Gary the Car Nut," and I bring 50 years of multi-car ownership experience to deep-dive discussions that go far beyond typical press loaner car reviews.
This is performance car ownership without the hype or BS. YouTube: Gary the Car Nut | @GaryTheCarNut
