Our journey on the fast lane takes us to the 63rd annual Autorama in Houston, Texas. Here, we dive into a vibrant discussion on the merits of non-American made cars – think Hondas and Toyotas. Noel teases us with behind-the-scenes tales from his upcoming appearance and the camaraderie among car show attendees. Also, we let you in on a secret: the upcoming Fast and Furious television series! The energy shifts gears as we reminisce on multiple cars used for stunts in films and the surprising revelation that there was only one Knight Rider car.
Next, we take a pit stop to discuss dealer-modified cars and the profound impact of dealers like Mr. Norm and Dick Harrell on the hot rod culture of the 60s and 70s.
