In this special “host‑becomes‑guest” episode of To All the Cars I’ve Loved Before, co‑host Doug pulls back the curtain on his own automotive story—from the moment his dad surprised him with a 1989 Dodge Daytona (silver, pop‑up headlights, 125‑mph speedo dreams) to finally owning the Nissan 300ZX he lusted after in high school. Along the way Doug revisits:
The unmistakable manual‑transmission fluid smell that still triggers vivid “garage memories.”Why a 2000 BMW 323Ci (E46) convertible became his worst car and ultimate “never again” lesson.A fog‑soaked, pre‑GPS road‑trip mishap in a rusty Jeep CJ‑7 that ended with a broken driveshaft.The mixtape tracks—“Silent Lucidity” by Queensrÿche & “Plush” by Stone Temple Pilots—that defined his cruising years.A dream garage trifecta: twin‑turbo 300ZX, last‑gen Mazda RX‑7 (FD), and his beloved DeLorean.How semi‑autonomous driving / Tesla Autopilot transformed his view of road trips and traffic.The hugely under‑appreciated 1989 Nissan 240SX that balanced handling perfection with driving legend status.Plus: stick‑shift lessons from Dad, the debate over cars having souls, and Doug’s one rule for classic‑car mods. Whether you’re into classic cars, JDM icons, car restoration, or just great car podcast stories, this episode packs in nostalgia, hard‑won wisdom, and plenty of pop‑up‑headlight love.

In this auto-adventure-packed episode of To All The Cars I’ve Loved Before, hosts Christian and Doug welcome SpeedyCop (Jeff Bloch)—YouTube/TikTok sensation, retired cop, and master of turning junkyard cast-offs into rolling masterpieces. From his very first car, a 1967 Chevelle station wagon “family heirloom,” to his world-famous upside-down Camaro and amphibious helicopter race car, SpeedyCop shares the craftsmanship skills and creative spark behind each build.
Whether you’re into car restoration, classic cars, or simply love a good car story, you’ll be inspired by how an overactive imagination and a love for vintage lifestyle vehicles can transform rusting hulks into beloved cars that melt faces at every show.
What happens when creativity, mechanical genius, and a self-described "extreme case of ADHD" combine? You get Speedy Cop, the automotive artist turning junkyard scraps into viral sensations that literally stop traffic and "melt faces" across the globe.
In this captivating episode, we dive deep with Jeff Bloch, better known as SpeedyCop, who reveals the origins of his extraordinary talent for transforming discarded vehicles into jaw-dropping masterpieces. Jeff shares how his creative journey began with a family heirloom—a 1967 Chevelle station wagon with holes so large "you could literally reach inside the vehicle from outside and wave your hand around." From these humble beginnings fixing his grandmother's car with chicken wire and Bondo, Jeff developed a philosophy of "repurpose, recycle, and reuse" that would define his career.
The conversation takes us through Jeff's greatest hits: the world-famous upside-down Camaro that's still running 11 years after being built in three weeks in his driveway; the "Spirit of Lemons" street-legal airplane car made from an abandoned 1956 Cessna 310 that runs 12-second quarter miles; and the sideways Volkswagen camper that generated over 156 million views online. With each story, Jeff reveals the thinking process behind these seemingly impossible creations, giving listeners unprecedented insight into where creative ideas truly originate.
Perhaps most fascinating is Jeff's revelation that his extraordinary creativity comes without chemical enhancement—"I've never done drugs in my entire life"—but rather from what he calls a "God-given overactive imagination" coupled with his ADHD. Now retired after 27 years in law enforcement, Jeff's creative output is accelerating at his 20-acre mountaintop property in Tennessee, where he has "several lifetimes worth of projects" waiting to be built.In this auto-adventure-packed episode of To All The Cars I’ve Loved Before, hosts Christian and Doug welcome SpeedyCop (Jeff Bloch)—YouTube/TikTok sensation, retired cop, and master of turning junkyard cast-offs into rolling masterpieces.
