The SEMA Show is back for 2021 and I decided to send two guests hosts out to Vegas for a week to get  interviews. This decision has resulted in some interesting and diverse guests quizzed by these two “wanna be” podcast stars. As a reset, this will be the first of several podcasts we’ll release through December featuring great interviews from SEMA.

Our two interviewers were Kirk Hansen and Scott Stap. You know Kirk Hansen as a long time show friend and supporter, as well as Scott Stap show writer from previous shows. These two hit the booths at SEMA and met up with old friends of the show as well as some great new companies to talk to. Armed with a mic and a camera they brought back content just for you from the wilds of Las Vegas!

TMCP #484: Ask Rick – Collecting; Should You Search For a Specific Car or a GREAT Car?

It is the first week of November, Thanksgiving is upon us, and it’s time for another great Ask Rick segment! Rick and his father Jim curated an impressive car collection by purchasing what they liked more than what was “in demand,” but in this discussion we’ll learn that their first desire was to buy the best car possible, not the best one available. There’s a difference!

We also have one last interview to present from the Holley MOPARTY event a few weeks ago. Garrett Daniels at RND Fab Works came on to discuss how he created the totally functional; “General Lee Hoop” roll bar. How does one make a functional 2 point roll bar suitable for race belts? Easy….make it a 4-point bar with a removable cross bar as well!

TMCP #482 – In Memory of Dallas Kibbe, My Dad

This week will be a very short show as I am occupied with an event that I hoped would never come, but knew it someday would. My father, Dallas Kibbe, passed away from multiple issues that eventually the doctors could not overcome and he left this world to be with my God and my mom. I loved the time I spent with my dad and he left his mark on my life and his grandkids lives as well as many around him. He always encouraged my passion for vehicles and loved the shows I created with my friends. The last couple days were a special gift and I did get to use the Chevelle to bring back memories for him even if he was not strong enough to take one last ride. 

Thank you listeners, for the amazing support in this time of grief. The show will be back soon and on track so thank you for this short intermission as I spend time with close family and friends.

Thank you Dad, for all of the lessons in life and for being my best friend!

-Rob Kibbe
