About

Who is Everyday Driver?

Everyday Driver is a unique and well respected car review show. We pioneered an interchanging dual-host format where Todd & Paul both drive the same car and discuss it in conversational style that is entertaining and accessible. Our production value matches or exceeds the quality of any other American car show produced for television or the web. The largest collective of automotive journalists (the Motor Press Guild) has nominated our work as video of the year for three years running, something no other car review show has accomplished.

As one viewer said:

“This is the best automotive video-cast I’ve found in years. Both hosts have differing opinions on what makes a great driving experience, and they are eloquent in expressing those opinions. The format of the shows is also terrific—very good editing between the two hosts as they talk about the vehicle. Finally, there’s no macho moron attitude that some other car show hosts exude, no crude attempts at junior high humor. Just intelligent people talking about cars that many of us will be able to afford. I can’t wait for the next episode.” - Podcast Viewer via iTunes

What do we do?

As the name “Everyday Driver” suggests, we focus on cars available for less than $50,000 (new or used) and encourage our viewers to own great cars they will love driving. Enthusiasts of all ages have connected with our approach and become loyal fans. Our independence and candid commentary speaks to our audience in a way that isn’t covered by traditional car magazines or competing video programming. Car companies loan us cars, not because we have the largest audience, but because they know the honesty and quality of our reviews cannot be beat.

As another of our viewers said:

“I much rather sit on my laptop and listen to your reviews than Motor Trend or even Inside Line… they never take a car to beautiful scenery and really discuss the car...all they do is give specs and say its great or not...These two guys on the other hand are the most honest and informative on car reviews...and I WATCH A LOT OF CAR REVIEWS FROM ALL different sources but you guys by far my favorite. Keep up the good work!!” - YouTube Viewer

Our audience is engaged, regularly reaching out for our advice and spreading the word about the show. Viewership has doubled in each of the last three years, without advertising or backing. And we can track many specific car purchases that have resulted from the show.

So Why Kickstarter?

Our viewers regularly ask us to post more videos. We’ve dedicated ourselves to only providing quality work, and as a self-funded and fully independent show we can only afford to post one video a month. We want to increase our releases but can’t do so without additional funding.

Or as one of our viewers put it:

“Definitely the best reviewers of ALL the online car shows, even Top Gear USA, You guys are so good to listen to and between both it is never boring and both of you guys have such different views that relate so well this show is awesome! Please make more more often!” - YouTube Viewer

From the beginning, Everyday Driver has operated with tighter budgets and smaller crews than other productions while maintaining the highest quality available. With this Kickstarter campaign we can double our production output without sacrificing the quality of our work. We can also offer more road-trip style specials like our recent comparison on Pacific Coast Highway.

Kickstarter allows our fans to help us succeed at minimal cost. Based on our last few years of growth, doubling our output in 2013 will likely increase the show's income enough to allow us to continue at this new pace without further backing. Everyday Driver can remain a fully independent and honest place for great car reviews and epic production value.

More content means more viewers. More viewers means more income for the show. And the more our income increases, the more episodes we can offer.

We’re ready to do more. We have more ideas than we have money and time.

If everyone who watches our yearly FAQ gives only five dollars then we’ll be funded for the year. No other car show does so much with so little.
