Granbury doesn’t just host a car show, it turns the whole square into a rolling festival. We’re getting you ready for the Lone Star Street Rod Association State Run in Granbury, Texas, where rows of street rods and resto-mods park right in the heart of town and the weekend feels like a reunion. From when cars start “trickling in” to what happens on Saturday and how the community treats these visitors like family, we lay out what you’ll see, where you’ll walk, and how to make the most of the trip.

We also dig into the kind of local history that makes a destination stick in your memory. Granbury’s courthouse square is loaded with photo-worthy details, and the Granbury City Cemetery adds true Texas folklore, including the long-running rumor that Jesse James is buried there. Whether you’re a car person, a history buff, or traveling with family, the mix of walkable downtown spots, live music, the restored opera house, lake views, parks, and trails makes this a weekend that goes way beyond chrome.

Then we shift gears into pure car culture and day-trip inspiration. Jeff takes us through Detroit’s abandoned auto factories and what they still reveal about American automotive history, from Packard to Fisher Body to the Highland Park Ford plant and AMC roots. Mars wraps it up with Houston driving destinations that are all about playing: arcade halls, claw-machine haunts, axe throwing, and air-conditioned old-school fun. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a weekend plan, and leave a review with your favorite road-trip town or hidden gem spot.

A $5,500 Cadillac Fleetwood. A $39,900 Pontiac Catalina convertible. A clean 2007 GMC bringing nearly $20K. We jump into the week’s most eyebrow-raising Hemmings sold results and talk through what those numbers say about the collector car market right now, from big-body comfort cruisers to classics that keep climbing. If you’ve been wondering what your project is really worth or what it’ll cost to buy your next toy, these comps are the kind of reality check you can actually use.

Then we get into the bigger automotive news story that’s starting to feel real again: sedans. With average new car transaction prices pushing past $50,000 and fuel economy rules reshaping how vehicles are categorized, automakers are looking hard at the “underserved” car buyer. We talk GM rumors of a Buick sedan tied to the next Cadillac CT5 and Chevy Camaro platform, Stellantis floating a new car under $30K, Ford’s “never say never” posture, and even Infiniti and Mitsubishi signaling a return to four-door options. We also bring it home with the day-to-day side of the debate: do you truly need an SUV, or do you just need a smart, comfortable sedan?

We wrap with our Texas cruise-in and events calendar, plus a blunt look at why dealership service departments are losing ground to quick lube shops, even when some newer vehicles come with “free” maintenance. If you care about value, convenience, and keeping your ride in shape, you’ll want to hear this part.

A live road trip check-in should be simple, but when you’re a live car talk show, it turns into a full-speed sprint through the biggest stories of the week. We start with some real-time studio chaos, then dig into why Ford F-150 inventory is suddenly so tight and what a supply shock like an aluminum plant fire can do to prices, selection, and dealer lots across the country.

Next, we get into the uncomfortable stuff: the FTC asking dealers to report other dealers who break federal vehicle advertising rules. We talk through what “self-policing” could fix, what it could break, and why shoppers should be extra careful with too-good-to-be-true price ads. From there, we vent about CEO compensation, react to Mary Barra’s reported pay package, and connect it to GM’s decision to delay its next-generation full-size electric truck program while the market leans harder into hybrids and proven gas platforms.

Then we lighten it up with car culture fun: a quick hit on WeatherTech money moves, a surprisingly heated floor mat debate, and a game of matching famous car slogans to the right automaker. We also run through a practical recall roundup including Goodyear performance tires, Lexus fuel pump issues, Ford F-150 downshift concerns, and more. We wrap with our Hot Rod Tour Of Texas update from the highway, with the crew rolling from New Braunfels toward Fredericksburg and all the small-town charm in between.
