The hosts deliver an in-depth analysis of both the SL 680 and S680 Maybach models, debating their merits, quirks, and whether the 6-figure price tag is justified compared to Rolls Royce and Bentley alternatives. Special guest Larry Chen joins to discuss his storied career documenting global car culture. As a Canon Explorer of Light, Larry shares fascinating insights about organized car meets in Asia and his beautifully restored Nissan Skyline R34 GTR. The conversation ranges from photography techniques to the importance of creating safe, legal spaces for car enthusiasts to gather. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media Learn more about your ad choices.
