Summary

After 8 years of dreaming, Matt Farah and Zack Klapman review the Alpine A110 GT, a car that every European journalist heralds as one of the greats; is it? We also celebrate Zack's 15th anniversary with The Smoking Tire, reminiscing about motel floors and supercharged cars. There's something in the Big Beautiful Bill that affects cars and car makers; plus a new bit inspired by Reddit called "Can I drive this home?" featuring some amazing spontaneous disassembly. Then we answer questions from our amazing Patreon members including: What cars we'd bring back Chevy Super Cruise vs Ford's Blue Cruise How to protect your car from the sun Is an R8 a cheap Ford GT? Reasons Zack likes the E9x M3 Why don't OEMs make hybrids with manuals? What car is "pure fun" for $65k? At what price do a few exotics (MC20, NSX, Jaguar F-Type, BMW i8) become great deals?
