School of Hot Rod Radio
Summary: SCHOOL OF HOT ROD is your source for full-throttle hot rod fun! The program honors the brotherhood and sisterhood of car enthusiasts who understand that firing-up their hot rod makes the hair on their arms stand up. Or how looking down the quarter panel of the glass-like finish on a perfectly restored '57 Chevy is a thrill only a true car enthusiast understands. Buckle-up and join in the animated discussion about the beauty in mechanical minutia. Forge a bond between those who have wrenched on cars and those who appreciate the ones who do. This is not a show about the fastest, coolest or most expensive car available, this is a show about the folks who showcase their talents and the connection they share with their automobiles.
