Join us for a rollicking ride through the lively world of Family Jeeps and other 4x4 adventures. We kick things off with a sprinkle of humor, discussing why the Jeep is the ultimate rental car and setting the stage for our nostalgic journey into the heart of Jeep and Land Cruiser culture. Our guest Megan shares touching family car tales that remind us of the deep bonds formed over shared steering wheels and hand-me-down rides.
Christian and Doug wax poetic about our personal Jeep adventures—from the sandy shores of Florida to the patriotic pride of Doug's 1994 Jeep Wrangler Olympic-edition, Megan jumps in with her own vibrant Jeep story. Her father’s CJ-7 was replaced for "The Kids Jeep" for her two brothers and eventually served as the backdrop to her early driving days, fueling her lifelong passion for these iconic vehicles. We navigate through the evolution of Jeep tops and the trials of keeping vintage cars on the road, celebrating the specialists who keep the Jeep legacy alive. Megan’s journey, from mastering stick shifts to cherishing Jeep camaraderie, underscores the timeless allure and tight-knit community that Jeep enthusiasts revel in.
But our exploration doesn’t stop at cars; we also steer towards the impactful work Megan does with Talbot Hospice in Maryland, where she coordinates volunteers and treasures the wisdom of the elderly. Her heartfelt stories remind us of the importance of community and the power of giving back.
About Talbot Hospice:
Talbot Hospice is located in Easton on the Eastern Shore of MD, and
provides compassionate care, comfort and support to patients and their
families in Talbot County. (I am the Volunteer Coordinator, not that you
need to say that but in case you want to.)
This weekend is the annual Festival of Trees which raises money for Talbot
Hospice. The Gold Room at the beautiful, historic Tidewater Inn in
downtown Easton is converted into a winter wonderland from Saturday,
11/30 – Tuesday, 12/3 with fifty beautifully decorated trees sponsored by
individuals and local businesses.
Throughout the event, there will be entertainment performed by local
singing groups and musicians, and Carols by Candlelight on Saturday
evening has become a highlight of the festival. Families can enjoy a night
out together with a festive outdoor marketplace filled with local craft and
food vendors to celebrate the season.

In our second episode, Melissa shares how her first car, a 1988 Chrysler LeBaron Turbo hatchback that was given to her by Papa (aka her grandfather) earned her street credit and the coolest nickname in high school.
During her college years, she transitioned to an indestructible hunter green Jeep Cherokee which she misses to this day. These Cherokee's were also known as the XJ and still have a cult-like following today.
Melissa claims she will never drive a minivan and thus ended up loving her Subaru Ascent. And in the little twists that life gives us, her nickname has come full circle.

Our guest today, James, is one of those people we admire as he turned a hobby into a full time career that he loves and is able to bring joy to others as a result of his passion. But first, James takes us down memory lane with stories of his first few cars including a two-tone blue 1977 Caprice Classic gifted from his grandfather, a vehicle full of character and quirks. You'll hear about its uncanny resemblance to an undercover police car which benefitted James more than once, the persistent stalling issues, and the adventure of installing a Pioneer stereo system. Passing the 1977 Caprice to his brother enabled James to purchase his next car, a "new to him" gold with vinyl top 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Caliente, considered quite the luxury car in its day. His next car was near and dear to his heart, a "John Deere green" 1976 Triumph Spitfire, enabling him to be part of a car club and relying more on his mechanical skills - likely an early catalyst for his current line of work.
Today, James splits his daily driving between a white 1999 Porsche 911 cabriolet and a 2017 white Honda CRV to ferry him to/from his auto restoration shop where he shares his passion as he delves deep into some of the intricacies of classic car restoration.

This week, we’re thrilled to welcome Aimee and John Russell, who are here to share their nostalgic high school memories, their unique first cars, and the friendships that have shaped their lives. Join us as we take a trip down memory lane, celebrating the enduring connections that have driven our passions and adventures, especially our love for classic cars.
Aimee and John regale us with heartwarming and humorous stories of their teenage years. From Aimee's "metallic chocolate" '70s Chevy Malibu to John's spray-painted 1973 Oldsmobile 98 Custom 4-door convertible, you'll hear about the joys and challenges of young car ownership. These stories are more than just about cars—they are about family support, rebellious adventures, and the life lessons learned along the way.
But the journey doesn't stop there.

As we wrap up, the spotlight turns to the couple's captivating story of acquiring and restoring the Baltimore Lighthouse, fulfilling a childhood dream, friendship, and collective effort. This episode is only a start to more cars than we had time to talk discuss or as John likes to say, "For the last 25 years, I see people driving around in $50,000 cars, I would rather own 10 $5000 cars and I do. I have promised my wife she gets to pick the next car!"
