Summary

Spike is joined by Matt Farah for a high-octane chat about the 2025 Ferrari 296 GTS, Waymo autonomous rides, and upcoming Pebble Beach plans. They dive into AI Kevin Costner scams, debate the merits of the Ineos Grenadier, and relish over a $1.26 million GT3 RS sale. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off plus free shipping with code SPIKE911 https://RaceDeck.com 📅 Odoo - Modern Management Made Simple All your business on one platform. Try it at https://www.odoo.com ______________________________________________ Spike and Matt kick off discussing Paul Zuckerman's unexpected talent as the show's resident "fixer" (think Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction) before diving into their Pebble Beach Car Week plans, where Matt will be towing his Manx with a Bentley Bentayga equipped with a rare tow package. The Ferrari 296 GTS gets a thorough review, with both hosts praising its performance, usability, and that electric motor for quiet neighborhood exits. Matt recounts his first Waymo autonomous ride experience - clean and controlled, but with some quirky navigation choices. They share laughs over Kevin Costner and Keanu Reeves AI scams, discuss watch designs, and close with a "Moment of Zen" reflecting on a 2004 Porsche GT3 RS 4.0 selling for $1.26 million. Throughout, the pair's automotive passion and comedic chemistry deliver the perfect blend of cars, coffee, and comedy that SCR fans love. ______________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: [email protected] 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media Learn more about your ad choices.
