Hi everyone and welcome back to TT! This week, I am joined by good friend to the show Ryan Bahrke of That Car Show! Ryan alongside Lindsey Jesch and Dan Pilling have made That Car Show one of the very best automotive podcasts in the country over the course of the last 16 months. Their interviews with some of the most important people in automotive has put them on the map and they are as legit as they come. On top of that, for the last 5 years Ryan has been volunteering and writing up the vehicle descriptions as a contributing editor for the Colorado Grand, which is one of the premier car rallies in the world. He just got back from it, so as friends we decided to hop on and go 2 hours and discuss its prestige and why it has been so special the past 37 years.
