The CarShowz Talk Podcast features Mike "Booney" Boone.
In this episode, we delve into Mike's latest project, a 1996 Chevy S10, exploring the inspiration and intricate details of its design and fabrication. Booney reflects on his formative years, the influences that led him to create vehicles like his Honda Civic, VW Beetle, and Honda Rukus, and of course, his current S10 endeavor. He recounts childhood memories in the garage with his father and his father's impressive ride. We also compare the current automotive scene with the past, discussing events like NOPI and Hot Import Nights.
