Host Jim Grady
Jim Grady, originally from the great state of New Jersey, has had a love of cars and just about anything that runs, flies, or floats since childhood. Jim's father has been in the automotive business his whole life, first with Firestone and then with several independents, and currently heads up the family business.
The Grady family headed south to Clearwater Florida, and Jim graduated high school in Largo then went to St Leo College. From a young age through adulthood Jim has been in and around the automotive, marine or RV industry. Jim’s first car, a 1972 GTO, was the catalyst for his love of old classic American muscle cars. Jim’s current broadcasting venture with Stew White allows him to hang out with my friend of over 25 years and talk to really cool people about really cool stuff!
His past ownerships of classics include a 1972 GTO, 1963 Skylark Convertible, 1971 Olds 442 Convertible, and a slew of Jeep CJ7's along the way. Jim currently drives a 1969 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Convertible that is in the process of being restored.

Host Stew White
Baby boomer Stew White was founded in Ft. Worth, Texas and attributes his love of cars to his tenure in the 'burbs of Detroit during the heyday of high performance innovation in the mid 60's ... the '63 Corvette Stingray, the Pontiac GTO, the Ford Mustang and their ilk, all made the young man an automotive addict that he still suffers from to this day.
Migrating south to Miami, Stew finished high school, bought an old (to him) '57 Pontiac. He enjoyed life interspersed with some college, hard work and dating. Radio came a bit later as he became a sales rep for WHYI in the Miami /Ft. Lauderdale market and later at WQDI, a small country station in Homestead, Florida. Stew's current broadcasting venture conveniently ties together his love of broadcasting and the need to eat and talk anything automotive or anything with an engine for that fact.
His past ownerships of a '69 Z-28, '70 Z-28, '73 Pontiac Grand Am (400CI), '85 Corvette, '86 Fiero GT 5 speed, '93 Mitsubishi Eclipse AWD GSX Turbo and a '93 Corvette have done nothing for the poor broadcaster but to make him even more addicted to the high performance automobile. Stew currently drives a '09 GMC Sierra Crew Cab, which he attributes to the "Married Homeowner Syndrome"...while his lovely wife Janet, drives the CTS.
