Show #252 airdate: July 15, 2026

Stewart welcomes Jeff Lane, Founder and President of the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, Tennessee. Jeff shares the story behind one of the world's most unique automotive collections, explaining how a personal fascination with unusual vehicles evolved into what has been called a "hobby gone wild." The conversation explores the museum's remarkable assortment of rare, unconventional, and often very small automobiles, along with motorcycles, aircraft, and other mechanical curiosities.

Jeff highlights some of the museum's most fascinating exhibits, including the Alfa Romeo, BMW, Berkeley, Citroën, Crosley, Honda, Isetta, Lotus, MG, Messerschmidt, Red Bug, Sunbeam, Volkswagen and others with the museum's strong emphasis on distinctive European automobiles. He recounts taking his first driver's test in a car he built himself and reveals his current "daily driver".

Later in the program, Keith Martin, publisher of Sports Car Market magazine, joins Stewart for an entertaining discussion covering the future of electric vehicles, the enduring appeal of Mustangs and Camaros, Keith's "new" Porsche 996 Carrera 4S, and the problem with car CD changers.
