Summary

Spike, Jonny, and Zuckerman cover the McLaren Artura, Jay Leno's classic car smog exemption bill, and a wild breakdown of the Reacher actor's neighbor brawl. Plus: money laundering in the watch world, Tyler Sheridan's recycled TV formulas, and whether the Porsche Cayman really holds value better than everything else. ______________________________________________ 📻 Listen to DRIVE with Jim Farley Check out the new season of the Ford CEO's car podcast! https://lnk.to/drivewithjimfarleyPS!spikescarradio 🫧 Meguiar's - 125 Years of Passion Premium products to clean, restore, and protect your vehicle https://meguiarsdirect.com/collections/new 🏎️ PORSCHE PLÁTICA - The Ultimate 911 R Celebration Come to the gathering in Knoxville on May 3rd! https://porsche-platica.com 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off plus free shipping with code SPIKE356 https://RaceDeck.com 🛩️ Luxury Aircraft Solutions - Premier Private Jet Charter Get $250 off your first flight or 3 FREE MONTHS of the Passport Membership with code SPIKE911 https://luxuryaircraftsolutions.com GRAB SOME SCR MERCH: https://spikescarradio.com GET MORE SCR ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/spikescarradio ______________________________________________ This week in the SCR Garage: Spike wrestled a tire cover onto his Bronco and Jonny put a phone mount in his Rivian — small wins, maximum joy. Zuckerman got his '66 with freshly fettled carbs and calls it a brand-new car after 14 years. Then it's a full review of the McLaren Artura — great daily driver, great canyon carver, but does it have the dream factor? Jonny says "I love McLarens. I'm not in love with this McLaren." The guys also dig into Jay Leno's renewed effort to kill smog tests for classic cars in California, a luxury watch trader doing 15 years for drug money laundering (and whether the same thing's happening in car auctions), and an anti-AI Waymo attack. Russell Crowe's watch collection gets a proper salute, and Tyler Sheridan's TV universe gets roasted for its very reliable coed shower formula. _____________________________________________ 📧 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 ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - How to make a car feel new 03:21 - 1966 Porsche 911 08:54 - Tiger Woods DUI 12:57 - McLaren Artura review 21:36 - Alan Ritchson neighbor fight 30:59 - Leno's Law returns 33:24 - Porsche 718 Cayman is the least depreciating car? 40:33 - Russell Crowe watches 44:46 - Massive multimillion dollar watch theft 47:34 - Anti-AI Waymo attack 50:33 - The crappy Taylor Sheridan TV universe Learn more about your ad choices.
