Description

Have you ever wondered why the car market has been so resistant to joining the rest of us in the digital age? Well, that time may be coming to an end. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced dealerships to turn to other methods selling to their customers. Executive Publisher for Autotrader, Kelley Blue Book, and Dealer.com, Karl Brauer, chats about this change, and gives us an update on how Autotrader is faring during the pandemic. We also learn about the industry's effort to chip in to the Coronavirus relief efforts. Up next, Co-founder of Cartender, and Freelance Automotive Journalist for CarGurus, Boston Globe, and U.S. News & World Report, George Kennedy III, has been driving the new Jeep Gladiator Mojave and is blown away. Find out why this Swiss Army Knife of automobiles is a must have for any dune-trekking adventurers out there. Changing gears, Part owner and General Manager of JR Motorsports, and Dale Earnhardt's daughter, Kelley Earnhardt Miller, joins us to discuss her life, lessons, and new book "Drive: 9 Lessons to Win in Business and in Life". Then, we discuss the amazing fortitude of the Earnhardt siblings, and how their stories can inspire others to seek the help they need as well, with Automotive Journalist for Autoweek, Automobile Magazine, Grassroots Motorsports, Steven Cole Smith. Closing out the show, Automotive Journalist and Voice of Reason, BJ Killeen, urges people not to do stupid stuff during the pandemic, like blast down the streets of New York in your expensive sports car and wreck into four other cars, totalling yours in the process. We also discuss the struggle of the car market during these uncertain times, and Alan gives us a prediction for the RV market that makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Tune in for more COVID, automotive, and other news.
