Cars That Matter

Cars that Matter is all about cars that have captured people’s hearts. They are the special cars, and they come from every decade since the dawn of the Automotive Age. They might be from the Brass Era or today’s Battery Era. They have names like 911 or SL, Corvette or Countach, or simply M. All have fueled passion in the people who created them, owned them, raced them, or sometimes—with remorse—parted with them.From CurtCo Media.​On Cars That Matter, we talk with designers, engineers, race-car drivers, market experts, historians, restorers and collectors about the brightest luminaries in the automotive universe. What connects our guests and our audience? Like ourselves, each has a love affair with the automobile. Or maybe many. For all of us, these cars are not merely brands, like toothpaste or a pair of tennis shoes. Each one bears a marque, with a crest or ornament atop its hood. And every one of them has a fascinating story to tell.

    Just started listening - and I love it
    He is an excellent interviewer; know how can tell? It’s a smooth, natural and enjoyable conversation with his guests, not just a bunch of questions being thrown about. Also, this program has a high production value.

    Wonderfully Insightful
    The holiday week is the best time to catch up on all of the episodes of Robert’s great interviews around the car world. Cool guests as well!

    Great car podcast!
    Excellent guests!
  • DimontMedia
    Very cool show!
    I like that this show is of the higher end, luxury aspect, and not just reviewing any old Toyota and car. Not that those are bad, but I enjoy listening to the passions of really, true car lovers.

    Finally a care show geared towards high end gear heads
    Most car shows cover all types of cars and compare hondas to toyotas, but now there's finally a show geared towards the luxury side. There's all kinds of facets of car lovers, and this is a great one for those passionate about the high speed, finely tuned car lovers.
  • StephieDeeCreates
    Robert Ross is amazing!
    As much as I enjoy listening to the tone of Robert's voice, I also really love his dry wit. It adds something extra to the show. And his personal stories about the cars he's had and loved, it really gives this show a personal touch.

  • LoveMalibu2
    VEROOOM!
    Gooding could be the world’s most important auto auction house. Good to hear from the man himself. Love Ross too. He really knows his car-sh^t.
  • Sndizzle101
    Very cool!
    As a car enthusiast, it’s really great to hear from other people who truly love cars- we’re a rare breed but a loyal community and hearing from others who truly love cars like me- collecting, driving and caring for them- it’s a great show!
