Courtney Hansen on the Hustle Behind ‘Ride of Your Life’
Courtney Hansen is more than just a car enthusiast — she’s a powerhouse in the automotive world. From hosting legendary shows like “Overhaulin” to penning “The Garage Girl’s Guide,” she’s done it all. But her biggest challenge yet? Creating, producing, funding, and starring in her own TV show, “Ride of Your Life” on MotorTrend.
In this episode, Courtney opens up about growing up in the racing world as the daughter of motorsports legend Jerry Hansen and how those early experiences shaped her relentless drive. She also shares behind-the-scenes stories from “Ride of Your Life,” including the emotional builds that have touched her heart, like a special Roadrunner for a young cancer survivor and a dream ’70 Cuda.
From standing her ground in the industry to balancing motherhood with a fast-paced career, Courtney proves that nothing can slow her down. “While you’re standing in your own way, please get the heck out of mine. This Charger Hellcat Redeye is coming in fast and hot, and I am not slowing down,” she says.
