About Our Podcast
Cool Cars with Chris is where passionate car culture meets authentic conversation. Hosted by lifelong San Diegan Chris, the series blends a cinematic YouTube show with a dynamic audio podcast, giving fans two ways to experience the stories, style, and soul behind standout cars and the people who drive them.
Each episode takes viewers and listeners beyond the usual specs and horsepower to uncover the personal, often unexpected stories that make these cars truly special. Shot on location in crisp 4K and paired with raw, unfiltered dialogue, Cool Cars with Chris captures the human side of automotive culture — from jaw-dropping custom builds and rare, well-preserved classics to the vibrant community events and tight-knit friendships that bring enthusiasts together.
More than just a car show, it’s a celebration of individuality, creativity, and storytelling. Every car has a history, and every owner has a reason why it matters. Cool Cars with Chris brings those stories to life in a way that’s fun, down-to-earth, and completely relatable — built for anyone who’s ever felt the thrill of turning a key and hitting the open road.
If you like cars with personality and stories that stick, you’ll feel right at home.
