In this episode of Life Plus Cars, Brendan and Ian are honored to welcome their first guest to the show: Brendan's older brother Ben!

Ben joins the conversation to share the journey with Rusty, his 1949 Willys Jeep. Ben takes us back to the beginning where Ben and his dad first hauled a rusty shell of a Jeep home to restore. Now, over 25 years later, Rusty is fully restored and Ben can at last enjoy the drive with this amazing rig. Ben details the restoration process, lessons learned from his father (of which Brendan can also attest!), and what got him interested in old Jeeps in the first place. It's a conversation you won't want to miss.

On this episode of Life Plus Cars, Brendan recounts his tales of driving his 2017 GMC Yukon from New Hampshire all the way to Montana to visit his brother outside of Yellowstone. Tune in to find out how he navigated Chicago traffic, lost a windshield wiper, saw incredible vistas, dodged wild hailstorms, and a host of other memorable moments only possible on a cross-country road trip.

In the second half, Ian shares his own road trip tales, including a memorable wedding weekend with his five former college roommates darting around an island in Washington state in a 21 foot Winnebago Sprinter van. Will they make the ferry though? You'll have to tune in to find out.

Join Ian and Brendan as they share how they first discovered the car community. Ian takes us back to 2007 when he and Brendan first connected over cars, walking the endless rows of cars and car parts at the annual fall swap meet in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. That, and the Bailey family breakfast tradition.

Beyond breakfast, Brendan discusses how he first absorbed bits and pieces of car restoration through his dad and his brother as they tinkered on their '49 Willys Jeep. Listen in to learn about Brendan's infamous leaf spring moment.

The two hosts also discuss ways that you can find your own car community, whether you own a car or not. With a little research, you'll find car people everywhere.
