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 industry pro or just love everything cars — this show is for you.

The Real Old G Car Guy
So to be fair, I’ve known John for most of my career. John was one of my first GM’s in the late 90’s early 2000s. I got the chance to listen to a couple episodes today and they didn’t surprise me at all because they fit his personality so perfectly. A man who’s gonna tell you exactly how it is or it was. Don’t let the fact that he fishes every day fool you. John has always been a true professional not to mention an absolute phenomenal operator. His extensive knowledge of both sides of our business from vendor side and from the dealership side give them an insight that most of us will never have. I can’t wait to hear what’s in the store. Next best of luck to you, John and Team. Glad to see you’re spending your retirement doing the things you love.
