We didn’t wake up one day and say, “Let’s start a YouTube channel.” It was more like:
“Are we really those guys now?”
You know the ones. Mid-30s. Still wrenching on old cars and still geeking out over new ones. Finding excuses to hit the road for no reason at all.
Here’s the real deal:
We’re not experts. We’re enthusiasts who like to learn the hard way. Whether it’s teaching ourselves to weld, reviewing beers we probably didn’t need, or figuring out if this part really fits — we believe failing forward is half the fun.
Some call it a midlife crisis. We call it midlife properly lived.
Skip’s an IT guy who collects hobbies like browser tabs and Chuck’s a firefighter who believes horsepower solves most problems. Together, we’re leaning into the stereotypes — not away from them.
If you’ve ever been told to “grow up,”
If you’ve ever been side-eyed for loving your “dad car,”
If you think a garage is where stories are built — not just engines —
You’re in the right place.
This is Midlife Garage. We’re not here to impress you. We’re here to enjoy the process.
