The art of building a car knows no color,” said actor/ comedian Kevin Hart in an exclusive interview with HOT ROD in anticipation of the new show, Kevin Hart’s Muscle Car Crew. His words are true and that’s a fact I’ve witnessed over my nearly two decades in the industry. Cars bring people of all walks of life together. The shared passion among enthusiasts breaks down perceived differences in age, demographics, and social status. No matter what you look like or where you came from, you can always recognize a cool car and share a conversation with a stranger over it. As a colleague and friend for many years loves to say, “If the world were run by car guys (and gals), it would be a much better place.”
JOHN “BURGANDEE” CLAUSELL BARBER
