He might have recognized the knowhow, too. A lot of the people that know cars aren't the ones buying new. (Which can be kind of how malaise happens or cool stuff is rarer than it should be.)

@matthewulm9103 4 года назад

It's amazing to me how, after 65 episodes, I can still say that this series just keeps getting better and better. I've noticed that Tom is having to do less and less of the heavy lifting, and his guests are getting chattier about their collections. I don't know if that's editing, or just the quality of the subjects that they are finding, but I like how he's guiding the conversations rather than doing all of the talking now. It's a really good combo :)

@USMCCGAGNG 4 года назад

I’ve thought of Bob every time I watch your channel. When I met him he had a LOT more in that barn, like the original 1970 Corvette he bought when he went to college, or the 1957 fuelie Vette basketcase. I’m glad you two finally met. It was good to see my hometown on here. Montana used to be chock full of good old cars just sitting because they didn’t use chemicals on the roads in winter and the colder temps kept rust at bay. Unfortunately government introduced strict regulations on junk yards and then Californians started hauling them away in the eighties. Probably a lot of stuff left though... lots of country there to look through.
