This week on The Collector Car Podcast, I sit down with the one and only Lauren Fix — The Car Coach — to talk about how she got her start, her love for Shelbys and Fox-Bodied Mustangs and what's really happening in today's automotive market.

Lauren has appeared on Fox News, CNBC, CNN, and countless automotive outlets, and she doesn't hold back in this discussion. If you care about where the car industry is headed — whether you're buying daily drivers or six-figure collectibles — this episode is for you.

And a special bonus, Greg brings back the much loved "Keep, Cash or Crush" segment where the conversation gets painful.

Podcast Description:
In this episode of The Collector Car Podcast, I sit down with Alex Manos, founder of Beverly Hills Car Club, to talk about one of the most fascinating business models in the classic car world.

From humble beginnings to becoming one of the largest classic car dealerships in the country, Alex shares how he built a global buying machine—acquiring everything from barn-find Jaguars and long-forgotten Ferraris to everyday classics that most dealers overlook. We dig into:

• How Beverly Hills Car Club sources hundreds of cars annually

• Why condition and presentation aren't always the priority

• The truth about buying sight unseen

• Trends he's seeing in international demand

• What types of cars are getting harder to find

• Advice for collectors looking to buy or sell in today's market

Alex operates at scale in a way few in our hobby do, and whether you agree with his model or not, you can't ignore the impact he's had on the collector car ecosystem.

If you've ever wondered how large-volume classic car operations really work behind the scenes—this one's for you.

Listen in for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about supply, demand, margins, and the global appetite for classic cars.

Joey Andrews doesn't just race cars—he does it anonymously, fearlessly, and flat-out fast. Known on track as "The Stiglette," Joey has built a reputation for precision driving, competitive racing, and pushing machinery to its limits without ever making it about ego.

In this episode, we go behind the helmet to talk about how the Stiglette persona was born, what it takes to compete at a high level, and why discipline, data, and seat time matter more than hype. From racing strategy to mental toughness—and what it's like to let lap times speak louder than words—this is a rare look at a driver who lets the driving do the talking.

Whether you're a hardcore motorsports fan or just love stories about people operating at the top of their game, this one's all gas, no fluff.
