Ike sits down with noted DC area auto journalist William West Hopper. They discuss his latest project, Queer4Cars.com, where that name originated (it’s not just for queer car enthusiasts), the surprisingly high number of LGBTQ automotive journalists, and whether certain cars are male or female. They also talk about William’s history of unusual cars, the awesomeness of minivans, whether the Mercedes G-Wagen is worth the price, left lane hogs, real Jeeps, real Porsches, and whether two-stroke Saabs were actually refugees from the Soviet Union. Finally they discuss William’s current projects, his dream project, his favorite and least favorite cars, and get some previews of coming attractions for 2017.
