Reeves has a voice for radio, and has a myriad of great stories. He and the Aceman need to do more together!
Unfortunately, Reeves’ time has come and gone. I guess he’s still trying, but nothing he builds is particuarly special or groundbreaking anymore.
Give me that without the bulge in the hood, and if not possible just tone it down from 11.. don’t need to have it say ‘supercharged’. Chicks don’t even know that that means and dudes already know its supercharged. Walk it, don’t talk it! Snniiiifff.
That said…
Reeves is a badass, lets hear some more. Obviously he has some great stories from a soon to be long gone area of racing. A lot of those cool old dudes wont be around for long, someone needs to start sitting them down with some bourbon and recording the conversations. They all want to talk about it, I want to hear it.
Great show- I could listen to this all day long. Reeves Callaway is one of those guys that has shaped the world of high performance cars for the last 40 years. It’s nice to hear Adam talk because he’s even crazier about cars than I am. Love the show Adam- Go make millions and expand that car collection.
