From the high-stakes pressure of managing tight restoration budgets to the shocking, emotional truth behind why he suddenly liquidated his entire personal car collection, Mike leaves nothing on the table. It’s a masterclass in automotive business, filled with jaw-dropping behind-the-scenes secrets, intense personal sacrifices, and the real cost of turning a passion into a multi-million dollar empire. BEST MOMENTS "People see the shiny cars on television, but they don't see the blood, sweat, and sleepless nights it takes to build an empire from scratch." "Holding onto a massive collection isn't a passion anymore when the cars start owning you, rather than you owning them. Selling it all was the hardest and best decision I ever made." "In the car restoration business, if you let your emotions dictate your wallet, you are going to go broke before the paint even dries."
