Ever wondered how the roar of an engine and the sleek curves of a car's design can tell a story of empowerment and innovation? Nancy Nichols, the mind behind "Women Behind the Wheel," joins us to shed light on the profound ways cars have fueled the journey towards modern womanhood. As Nancy takes us on a ride through history, we explore the roads paved by suffragists, celebrate Bertha Benz's audacious road trip, and address the gender roadblocks that once stalled women from purchasing cars without a male co-signer. Nancy even shares a personal anecdote of her own street racing days, much to my amazement and delight.

Driving isn't just a physical act; it's an emotional experience, a theme we explore in conversations about the surprising intimacy found within the confines of a car's interior. We unpack the reasons behind the heart-to-hearts that happen in the driver's seat, the design nuances that make a car feel like a protective cocoon, and the impact women have had on the automotive design landscape. From the "Damsels of Design" at GM to the feminine flourishes that now grace our dashboards and door panels, we celebrate the female touch that has steered the automotive world in new directions.

Revving up the excitement, we shift gears to the adventurous side of the auto industry. We spotlight the legacy of ProAm Auto Accessories and their global influence, applaud the charitable endeavors of God's Garage, and tease the adrenaline rush of learning stunt driving with professionals like Bobby Ore. As the episode comes to a close, we extend an open invitation to our listeners to join us live for more high-octane discussions, where we continue to share our passion for all things automotive. 

Fasten your seatbelts—it's going to be an exhilarating ride!
