Zuckerman offers his legal perspective on the dealership's poor crisis management response, reminding everyone that "the fish dies by the mouth." The Myers Manx team arrives at the garage with both their classic remastered dune buggy and the new electric "Resorter" model. From Bruce Meyers' fascinating origin story to the brand's bankruptcy and phoenix-like revival, this deep dive explores how this California icon went from beach cruiser to Baja 1000 champion. Other segments include Spike's harrowing tale of losing his wallet while test driving the Manx, reactions to the "Meatball Sandwich Guy" and Radimak's downward spiral, and a review of the impressive Bentley Flying Spur Speed Hybrid - which Spike calls "one of the greatest old guy driving machines ever." _____________________________________________________ 📧 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.
