Steve Ford has the coolest domain possible, TheCarGuy.com. He trademarked that title back in 1985 when he was a radio news featured broadcaster covering automotive consumer news and car tips. He’s worked in advertising, public relations, journalism, television, radio, magazines, and speaking engagements. Along the way he added teaching in the evenings at a community college and that grew to a position as an automotive technician-trainer for General Motors plus he is an ASE Certified Master Auto Technician. Steve hosted on the television show Talk 2 DIY Automotive. Steve also volunteers in support of Youth, Cars & Hands-On Career helping students see opportunities in the automotive industry.
That’s Steve back in the day with his cool SS.
