Peter shares how Knight Rider sparked his love of cars, why Gunther Werks pushes air-cooled 911s to the extreme, and the surprising backstory behind the company name. After, Spike and Zuckerman unpack the Porsche 911’s bizarre #1 sales ranking in Andorra, the latest Tesla controversy, and the absurdity of Jeep’s touchscreen ads. Finally, in ‘Dear Zuckerman,’ chaos ensues over incarcerated fiancés, dementia-fueled family drama, and more hilarious written-in dilemmas.
