For Eric, the answer was a British Racing Green Triumph TR7—a car that looked the part but required double-clutching to get anywhere. 🇬🇧🏎️In this episode, we sit down with Eric (a self-described "legal eagle") to tour his eclectic car history.

He shares the joys of the mid-engine layout, the targa top, and the not-so-joyous reality of constant vapor lock in the Florida heat.Finally, we discuss his transition to American luxury with a Cadillac CTS, explaining the origin of his tongue-in-cheek motto: "Never trust a lawyer not in a Caddy."In this episode, you’ll hear:🇬🇧 The Triumph TR7: Why Eric’s first car was a British Racing Green wedge that would make 007 jealous (even if the transmission had other ideas).🇩🇪 The Porsche 914: Owning the quirky VW-Porsche hybrid, dealing with the "poor man's Porsche" stigma, and fighting vapor lock on hot days.⚖️ The Lawyer’s Caddy: Why he eventually settled into a Cadillac CTS and the professional stereotypes that come with car choices.🧊 Ice Storm Lessons: A terrifying story about learning not to drive a lightweight sports car on black ice.⛽ Gas Prices: Reminiscing about the days when filling up the "frunk" tank of a Porsche cost less than a dollar a gallon.Eric loves this old school episode - "From Ford Tempo to Flux Capacitor – Brian’s High-Octane Car History" https://www.buzzsprout.com/2316026/episodes/15046730Whether you're a fan of quirky British wedges, air-cooled German engineering, or just love a good lawyer joke, Eric’s stories deliver a verdict of "Guilty... of loving cars."🔗 Links & Resources:Visit our Linktree to find all of our content: 🔗🌲https://linktr.ee/carslovedCheck out our Guest-inspired Road Trip Playlist on Spotify: 🎧🚗 https://carsloved.com/playlist📢 Join the Conversation: Have you ever owned a "Wedge" car like the TR7?
