About this episode
John Clay Wolfe dives into a lively mix of personal stories, car buying advice, and automotive projects, including a unique Lamborghini off-road build.

Regular segments like the car bidding lightning round and music trivia keep the energy high throughout the broadcast.
Well now, since we've got our holiday fun and the New Year behind us, we've GOT to somehow climb our way back into the day-to-day operations of running America's best car buyer, Give Me the Vin--not to mention, our state-of-the-art Saturday morning show! Luckily, we've got just the thing to get us back upon the plateau: John is hot and heavy about his acquisition of cars, and we have got some wild, weird tales coming in this week--everything from a couple of tow trucks from Junkyard Empire host Andy Cohen, to Richard Rawlings from Gas Monkey Garage, who has some bad news about the Ferrari 6X 'super mod' build he and John HAD planned on selling at Barrett Jackson missing their planned finish date for the sale; JD Ryan has got some scary stories to tell from one of the hands-down most hilarious weeks of Weird News we've seen in a while; Juan Solo makes his first appearance in a big while to catch us up on the Mexican production of a film that is VERY like the Star Wars saga we all know and love; the Colonel, Mike Turley, takes another stab of draining Johnny C. of all of his disposable cash with bevy of tantalizing (but not very logical) football bets that might finally break the boss's bank; and of course, we'll catch up with our old friends Johnny Cash, DJ PreKay, and more! So don't come knockin' without your work boots on...and them kick 'em off, grab an ice cold Natty Light, and enjoy your Saturday with the Wolfe Pack! We'll think about work come Monday. Cheers!
