What classic car(s) does Dennis currently own or is he just a wannabe?
Hi Steve – I don’t know how many classics Dennis has but I can tell you, Dennis Gage is a die-hard car guy through and through. The great thing about the car hobby is that you don’t have to have a lot of fancy cars to be engaged. In fact you don’t need any. Just by participating in car club events you can be a part of this wonderful culture no matter how big, or small, your wallet may be.
Mark I don’t quite know whether to disagree or strongly disagree. If you own a late 40’s to early 60’s American car Dennis might talk to you for hours. However, I have attended 2 cars shows with “Dennis Gage” there and watched him walk right past cars that don’t fit his idea of what is cool. Okay, that is his choice but most people are really proud of their car and for the “featured personality” to just shine them on is kind of insulting or pick a lesser sounding word if you like. Dennis talked to me about my car but the guy next to me just watched him walk by. Just because his car was from “across the pond” as the this guy said later he felt like he didn’t deserve the cold shoulder. Again, Dennis is the TV star and his likes/dislikes are his choice and I respect that but felt really sorry for the guy next to me.
Hello Bob –
We all have our favorites that we gravitate towards and I suspect Dennis is no different. I’ve been blamed for not getting to all the cars at a show because I spend so much time talking with the owners and hearing their stories.
