He shares his philosophy on car enthusiasm—why gearheads don’t care about titles, just the next great car. The guys also discuss Jerry’s freshly restored Porsche 550 Spyder, his drive through LA traffic in a vintage race car, and his ongoing obsession with RSKs. The conversation shifts to comedy, where Jerry reflects on *SNL’s* 50th anniversary and the rise of stand-up. And in a classic Porsche debate, Jerry and Spike go head-to-head on whether the 964 RS or 993 RS is the ultimate driver’s car. Spoiler: Jerry has some strong opinions. Finally, Pete Stout joins the show to unveil *000 Magazine’s* epic sweepstakes for a fully customized Porsche 911 Turbo S, with proceeds supporting the 43 Institute Ken Block Foundation. _____________________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Club Road Associates: [email protected] 🌐 https://www.clubroadassociates.com Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media Learn more about your ad choices.
