True Confessions of a Car Guy
Buckle up. This is the car business like you've never heard it before.
Hosted by John Gavin and co-hosted by Richard Luciano — two veterans with a combined 80+ years in the industry — True Confessions of a Car Guy pulls back the curtain on the wild, unfiltered world of automotive sales. The highs, the lows, the stories they don't put in the brochure.
John brings 40+ years of old-school wisdom. Richard brings 42 years of experience, East Coast roots, and a family background you don't ask too many questions about.
Alongside producer Bagi, they deliver the perfect mix of real stories, real laughs, and real guests who've lived it — whether you're a seasoned pro or just love everything cars, this show is for you.
