The definition of a "classic" car is changing to include the 90s and beyond, and Phillip Griot represents a new generation of restorers and experts. He owns and operates Griot's Motors in Tacoma , Washington.

Phillip's dad Richard is the founder of Griot's Garage, the car care products company, so he grew up around some amazing cars. He gets excited about the usual high-performance stuff, but cars like the VW Golf GTi are also on his list.

In this episode, Phillip shares his thoughts on everything from market trends and finding your next classic to the complexities of high-level restoration, and why fun cars are a family affair.

Ahhh, the "Good Life". It applies to everything from cuisine to cars... and Tim Lappen is no stranger to exclusive automobiles.

He's the Fine Autos Editor at Haute Living Magazine and a lifelong enthusiast who grew up in the incredible Los Angeles car culture. As a teenager, he managed to acquire some great cars from local dealers for just a few days, writing about them and drumming up some business in the process. So began a lifetime of sampling the finest cars the world has to offer.

We recorded this episode during a very pleasant lunch meeting at The Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, and you're invited into the poolside cabaña as we talk about great cars and the "Good Life".
