On bad tires.But before the Viper, there was the \"Soft Shell Crab\"—Caroline's 1969 Ford Fairlane Fastback so rusty it would melt over a lift. And James's $500 VW Super Beetle that high school friends literally picked up and moved sideways in the parking lot.In this episode, Caroline and James reveal:- How they built a YouTube channel during COVID lockdown that now defines their lives- The exact moment James realized his daughter had bought THREE cars (including the Viper) while he was gone- Why Caroline traded a restored VW Thing for a Porsche 356—her childhood dream car- The creative partnership that makes HH Wheels work (vision meets editing skills)- What it's like being car-rich and cash-poor with 34 vehicles- The \"Get Wrenching\" philosophy: if they can restore it, so can youThere's one detail about hiding a Viper for three weeks on a small island that Caroline says still gives her anxiety.
