Overcrest

The guys chat Jake buying the dumbest of all cars, and Kris buying another grandpa car. Also, some interesting and obscure news on dealership models and bear fraud.

Paul didn't set out to run a dealership. He set out to build a clubhouse for car people, and AutoKennel is what happened along the way.
In this episode, I sit down with Paul, the driving force behind AutoKennel, the Southern California shop that has quietly become a gathering place for enthusiasts as much as a licensed dealer and brokerage. We talk about how a passion project turned into a real business, what sets his approach apart from the typical consignment outfit, and why the people around the cars matter as much as the cars themselves.
Paul also opens up about his cancer diagnosis and the road through recovery, and how the experience reshaped his perspective on the business, the community around it, and what actually matters when you strip everything else away. It's an honest conversation, and one that goes deeper than the usual shop talk.

Past the edges of the maps were mountains that killed ten men at Christmas. A bridge in New York where a man became someone else every night for thirteen years. And an Arctic camp where twenty five soldiers were abandoned by their own government and left to eat whatever was left. These are the stories nobody tells anymore. Not because they aren't worth telling, but because the men at the center of them have faded into memory, replaced by time.Support this show: https://www.patreon.com/c/overcrest

At one point, all the maps had foggyedges. Past those edges, nothing. No roads, no forts, no names for anything. Just grass and sky and silence stretching until it hit mountains that were further away than they looked. The men who walked into it were broke, forgotten, and had nothing behind them worth staying for. Most of them died young. Most of them died alone.
A few of them came back with stories that should have been famous a long time ago.
