Description

Why aren't young people as into cars as they once were? Is it the rise of ride-share services, the shift in priorities towards sustainability, or the favoring of eco-friendly transportation. Or perhaps the allure of technology and gadgets has surpassed the appeal of traditional car culture. Then there’s the cost of ownership that stretches from purchasing and maintenance, to of course, insurance. Whatever the reason, there seems to be a movement away from the once iconic symbol of freedom and independence. Now I’d like you to forget everything you’ve just read, and meet 18-year-old Riley Trask, and her father, Dane. For the last four years, under her dad’s mentorship, Riley has not only created her own YouTube Channel, Riley’s REBUILDs, where she’s become an old pro at rebuilding carburetors, but in that time, she’s also set up a small automotive own business with some of her friends. So, if you want some reassurances that young people are indeed still diggin’ our beloved collectibles and classics, just hit play and have Riley Trask change your mind.

Dan Stoner and Mike Musto have been in this business for quite some time. Stoner comes from the world of big advertising and publishing before coming to Hemmings, while Musto made a name for himself as an automotive journalist and show creator. What do they have in common? Well, everything and nothing. They’ve got different tastes in cars and are both jealous of each other’s grooming habits, YET, they both love everything automotive culture has to offer. Thus, an idea was hatched, and The Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ was born!
