The Car Glutton

A closer look at my 2019 Ford Explorer XLT daily driver and a look back on what has kept them selling for three decades and counting!

A closer look at our 2006 Mercedes CLK 350. A gorgeous coupe that we've wanted for a long time!

We check in with Johnny David, a recording artist and fellow car glutton, and get a closer look at his 1960 Chevy Apache Pickup - a truck that perfectly matches his Old Soul!

We check back in with Vladi to see maybe my favorite of his collection - a 1986 C4 Corvette. This car is pretty much original and in AMAZING shape!

Checking back in with Vladi's Fiero. He just got it out of the paint booth and we'll take a look at the results so far!

There's a new Cat on the Car Glutton block and its a bit more muscle than our usual projects. In this video, we say hello to this gorgeous 1972 Mercury Cougar and unfortunately, goodbye to another old friend...

We check back in with our friend Vladi to see his latest project - a 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT. Check out what it looks like before he works his magic and see the 'before' on this low-mileage, 80's legend!

Today, we join the local CAR-ONA Car Cruisers for their annual cruise to remember the victims of the Borderline tragedy of 2018 in nearby Thousand Oaks, CA. Beautiful cars, beautiful humans.

We Turo a 2021 Polaris Slingshot SL and hit the road. Easy process and possibly very bad news for our bank account. What did we think of it? Check it out...

I come face to face with an amazing 1963 Studebaker Avanti owned by my friend Jim Ober of the local Studebaker Driver's Club. Quite literally a work of art and absolute BEAST under the hood in its day.

No not the classic Arnold movie, but our 2015 Kia Optima got the dreaded P1326 OBDII code. Not sure what that is? Its a whole world of recalls, class actions, and downtime for you and your Kia. Let me tell you all about it...

We are excited (and nervous) about our latest addition - a 1995 Cadillac Seville SLS. Will we become believers in the classic American brand, or will we be the latest victim of the Northstar curse?

Today we meet Ranchero Rick from the Coachman Car Club of Ventura County and he shows off his sweet 1972 Ford Ranchero GT. Coachmen CC of Ventura County FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/83071258206

Unbelievable.... I just bought one the my least favorite cars... kinda. Even though Camrys are one of the best cars on the planet, I'm still not a fan of the old ones. Can this 1998 Lexus ES300 change my mind?!! So far, surprisingly, YES!

Well - that just happened! I had to jump on an opportunity to get my wife her dream car. Of course I'm happy that she's happy, but secretly I'm hoping this helps buy me some more brownie points to keep making horrible decisions with cars I want lol... Gluttons are terrible people.

We are marveling at the simplicity if this Bug - especially in comparison to the Mercedes we have been used to dealing with. Apples to oranges - and we LOVE our Mercedes still, but we can definitely appreciate the stripped-down beauty of this Bug! But will the extensive maintenance required on a 50 yr old car be MORE than we can handle??

We've already seen his rad Pontiac Solstice, but I've been telling you about Vladi's other cars and projects. In this video, I'm going to introduce you to a second one of his cars - a 1953 Hudson - and this one he's pretty much restoring from scratch. Its an absolute beauty!

In this video, we meet up with our friend Vladi to check out the first of many beautiful cars he has in the stable. This 2006 Pontiac Solstice is sleek and fun, with just enough customization to set it apart from the pack.

After weeks of sorting out claims and paperwork and appraisals, the insurance has deemed the 1988 Mercedes 300 CE C124 a 'total loss'. Still hard, even though I saw it coming...

We try and put the bad Audi and C124 experiences behind us and get back on the horse with a beautiful 2006 Mercedes E 350 W211.

Huge setback for the 1988 300 CE C124 - here's what happened and where we are now...

In this video, we update you on the tragic tale of the Audi A4 we had. We also outline things you can do to prevent getting into the same situation with a used car YOU want to buy.

That's right! After weeks of reeling from the totaling of my classic Mercedes coupe, I finally find my unexpected replacement. This 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle was a long time coming!
