If you've owned a few cars, you've most likely (at some point) had to have some auto body repair work done to a vehicle. And you probably had a lot of questions during that process! Lucky for you, this week Larry has Gary Sobbry on the show and he's just the guy to answer some of those questions. Gary is a professor at Washtenaw Community College where he teaches the next generation of people about auto body work and repairs and how to do things the right way, with care and craft, instead of as quickly and cheaply as possible.

This week on Never Stop Driving Larry is speaking with Dave Hord, who is a tour director for classic car multi-day driving events. Dave began his career in route-planning more than a decade ago, sketching out long-distance tours accessible to a broad range of vehicles and enthusiasts. His passion for travel in classic cars stems from a lifetime's obsession with Volkswagen Beetles, which he restores, modifies, and often uses to scout course routes. Thanks to an event calendar of 12-14 events per year, he’s become an expert of roads and event routes. He regularly logs more than 60,000 miles a year all over North America, virtually all of it done behind the wheel of vintage automobiles.
