Life in the Fast Lane: A Conversation with Tim Lappen
Ahhh, the "Good Life". It applies to everything from cuisine to cars... and Tim Lappen is no stranger to exclusive automobiles.
He's the Fine Autos Editor at Haute Living Magazine and a lifelong enthusiast who grew up in the incredible Los Angeles car culture. As a teenager, he managed to acquire some great cars from local dealers for just a few days, writing about them and drumming up some business in the process. So began a lifetime of sampling the finest cars the world has to offer.
We recorded this episode during a very pleasant lunch meeting at The Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, and you're invited into the poolside cabaña as we talk about great cars and the "Good Life".

General Motors Dream Cars with Joe Bortz
In the 1950s, General Motors culminated its industry dominance with an annual traveling exhibition know as the Motorama, showcasing the very latest trends in styling, engineering and modern conveniences. However, once they were done on the show circuit, the cars were marked for destruction.
Fortunately, many of these marvels escaped that fate, and their eventual savior was Joe Bortz.
As a kid growing up in suburban Chicago, Joe was fascinated by cars he saw in the neighborhood dealerships. He went on to become a prolific collector of many cars, but especially the Dream Cars.
Now they're being shown to the world in a new exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles entitled "General Motors' Marvelous Motorama: Dream Cars from the Joe Bortz Auto Collection".
