In the last week I’ve turned down a couple of offers to mow my lawn. By the time I finally got through the mowing late last week I was wondering if I’d made the right choice. For a few years I had made the choice to hire a lawn service that mowed as needed, usually about every other week.

Heather Storm is one of America’s more famous road trippers. But she’ll be flying in for Saturday’s Gearhead Gathering, because work’s leaving her a little too busy this time. “I have a great new project I can’t release yet that I’m excited about,” Storm said. “It’s a digital series. I’m still working on a digital series, ‘Drive Yourself Local.’ Those will both be on my YouTube channel. That’s why I’m in Detroit shooting things. It’s a summer full of work.” Storm, former host of “Garage Squad,” said some of her favorite s...

Steve Darnell admits a healthy amount of jealousy of the Baby Boomer era. They had the best cars, gas prices weren’t bad and a car was sometimes how people in the neighborhood knew you. “No-one gives a (expletive) anymore,” said Darnell, star of the Discovery Channel’s “Vegas Rat Rods” series. “You drive a Prius. It’s transportation. Every generation that goes by, it’s going to get worse. The pride’s gone. A kid can’t work on them anymore.” Darnell and his WelderUp crew work on countless vehicles now, and Darnell estimates h...
