As the sun sets behind the Great Smoky Mountains, Don can still hear the echo of the 2024 GMC 2500 Diesel's engine as we reminisce about the serpentine thrill ride known as the 'Tail of the Dragon'. This episode is a love letter to the open road, where the joy of driving transcends the destination. We've got a tale that'll tickle your funny bone—a pair of car thieves whose day went from bad to worse in a comedic twist of fate. While Valerie Frapp couldn't join us, the rustic charm of the historic Tapoco Lodge area doesn't go uncelebrated, transporting us back to a time when adventures were just outside our windshields.
Imagine pulling up to the Stonewall Motor Lodge, where the past collides with the present in the best ways possible. It's in these conversations about road trips, where family bonds are strengthened, that you'll find yourself transported back to a time of Americana nostalgia. From the comforts of modern amenities blended with vintage aesthetics to the unexpected delight of local wildlife, we discuss how journeys on the open road uncover the hidden gems that map the heart of America. And yes, the Buick Special gets its moment in the sun as we share a chuckle or two over memories of family vacations packed to the brim with love, luggage, and laughter.
Revving up our engines, we shift gears to bring you the latest happenings in the Houston car scene. Feel the energy of the Gulf Coast Auto Shield Spring Social and get insights into the robust 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 four-wheel drive—tailor-made for the heavy-duty enthusiast. We will have a group of Porsche's at our Gulf Coast Auto Shield Spring Social event, and we'll bring the spirit of Stuttgart with a live broadcast for all to enjoy. So buckle up, fellow car lovers, and join us on this wild ride where the lore of the road meets the communit
