What It's Like Owning An Auto Shop In Abilene, Texas

Sometimes the best conversations happen when you crack open a cold one and just let it roll. That's exactly what happened on this week's Weekend Buzz, powered by Ben E. Keith Beverages.

This time around, I was joined by John from Outlaw Automotive, the proud Rock 108 Studio Sponsor. We kept it simple with a Michelob Ultra Lime Cactus.

From Wrenches to Running a Business

John shared how he got his start in the automotive industry, what it's like owning a local shop in Abilene, and why today's vehicles are a whole different animal than the ones many of us learned to drive.

We also swapped stories about dream cars, the coolest rides he's worked on, and a few vehicles that make mechanics everywhere question their career choices.

Is AI Changing the Automotive World?

Of course, we couldn't ignore the elephant in the room: AI. With Abilene making headlines over its growing role in artificial intelligence and data centers, we talked about whether that technology is changing the automotive industry, what the future might look like, and how our hometown continues to evolve.

Just Two Guys Talking Shop

This wasn't one of those stiff, buttoned-up interviews. It was more like pulling up a chair in the garage, cracking open a cold beer, and talking cars, business, Abilene, and whatever else happened to come up.

Kick back, hit play below, and enjoy the conversation. Whether you're a gearhead, a beer fan, or just curious about where Abilene is headed, I think you'll have a good time with this one.
