Summary

We broadcast during the final minutes of the Bentley Turbo R auction! If it hits a certain number it will have been a SMARTER FINANCIAL DECISION than leasing a boring EV for a year! Then we review the new 2025 Mercedes SL63s AMG E-Hybrid, a car with the torque to haul but no space to carry. Matt tells us about his glimpse at the future of Willow Springs Raceway, and we answer Patreon questions about: Buy a car from a new country. What would we trade the Bentley for? Why we keep our tow vehicles boring. Is a Boxster depreciation-proof? Different reactions at car shows How to get more power from a Miata When to charge your EV to 100% vs 80% What free car would we turn down because of the maintenance costs? How do you choose a career? Best V10 experience under $100k?
