01:42
motherfucking tell hi everybody hello welcome to the program it's noon on a friday you know what
01:50
that means when we're done with this shit the week is over no it's not it's not but also
01:59
I got a facial at nine o'clock this morning so it's not like I've had a tough day yeah that's
02:05
true I haven't had a tough day I've not I had a good day you don't happen this fucking week's act
02:11
two four five new customers 245 pounds oh right that is the lowest number I've seen on a scale
02:26
since I was 16 years old holy shit yeah 264 was wedding day wow yeah graduated from college
02:37
330 whoa when I met you you were like so you met me oh nine previous adult low 247 that was the
02:46
that was the lowest I've been as an adult it took a lot to fucking get there and it was when I got
02:52
hurt skiing that I lost it all so up down since then up down up down up down up down March 2023
03:00
fucking said no mo at 297 saw nutritionist got Sean and fucking head down so two years and five
03:13
months 50 pounds wow no cheat snow ozempics old school because it's the only way to fucking do it I
03:22
mean I don't hate on anyone who wants to do any of the surgeries or any of the drugs like fucking
03:27
do you whatever makes you look in the mirror and be happy with yourself like I don't give a fuck
03:34
for me for me the shortcut to anything isn't satisfying like doesn't matter what it is like
03:42
I'm not saying I've never taken a shortcut to something but it's that's rarely a satisfying
03:47
way to go but also if someone if someone crashes their car takes it to the body shop and then
03:52
continues crashing their car like eventually the car is gonna look like crap so if someone
03:56
does these different things like if you don't build the foundation of good behavior you will
04:00
probably eventually slide back right and so uh so yeah I mean and what's crazy is like actually
04:07
the real turning point first there was the two big turning points was one March 2023 when I made
04:12
those choices and I and I had a good good run over a couple months and then kind of lost it around
04:17
the holiday season of that year started to get it back a little bit but then when we went to your
04:22
bachelor party and I got back on the weed train you know what happened then alcohol consumption
04:29
way down oh way down yeah cut alcohol just no without trying cut alcohol by 75 percent that's
04:37
huge I mean huge and weed is also is an appetite suppressant for me I don't get munchies which
04:44
is a freak fucking thing but I don't so like but alcohol gives me crazy munchies so like
04:50
that was the kickstart a year ago to go from like 265 down to 245 wow crazy wow and oh yeah you're
04:59
welcome yeah thank you you put in you put in so much work I put a lot obviously you go to the gym
05:04
every day yeah I work out seven days a week yeah which is my arm I did four days in a row with my
05:09
trainer my arms are fucked up right now but but dude I'm gonna put a big it's like it's one of those
05:18
things it's like the fucking podcast like you're gone for two weeks so you gotta crush it when you
05:23
you know and and I work out in hotel gyms but not like you you work out in hotel gyms I can only
05:30
force myself to do cardio in hotel yeah which is far better than nothing but I just can't do a
05:36
wait circuit without my trainer like I'm fucking spoiled like that I need it like I need him dare
05:42
to do be like fucking do the thing asshole you fat piece of shit this is exactly how we talk I don't
05:48
think I'll I gotta do that for you know that's actually how I talk to myself that's why that's
05:55
why I started it but anyway that's great does feel nice to and I don't care about the number
06:01
so much I just care about how my clothes fit and I finally like finally like I'm looking in the
06:05
mirror and you're like hey that's all right that's why I told you that but when we were filming like
06:10
the wolf box ad and you did something I was like he's got like shoulders and arms now oh shit yeah
06:16
so but like more importantly like the lifestyle I've led like nutritionally for the last like
06:23
year I really enjoy I don't feel like I'm denying myself anything and and you know cool good times
06:32
right because then you're just enjoying life more yeah just don't get hurt otherwise you're fucked
06:36
but also that's the thing with working out dude Sean tries to like push me
06:40
and I go uh uh I go dude I know where you're coming from but if I don't get hurt today we can work
06:47
out tomorrow yeah you know that's like a huge one is like push but not not too hard yeah like
06:54
because like dude people get hurt he my my poor trainer gotta get shout out to him fit like Sean
07:00
on Instagram he comes to you if you're in LA book him Jim in a van he's great um he was spotting
07:08
someone and like dude and the person the client like fucked up and Sean tried to save the bell
07:14
and tore his bicep yeah like fucked that's like bad we're talking we're talking to Ferdy he tore
07:19
his bicep doing the ski car stuff because it's like you know like one of the one of the most
07:24
common ways people do that is they're doing deadlifts and they don't keep their arms straight
07:28
they flex them a little bit thinking that will help them lift all this weight and the bottom
07:33
sure because your bicep can't handle that and it rolls up like a window uh yeah you don't want
07:38
to do that consistency is yeah I'm the same way I was like oh I can't lift this much anymore I was
07:42
talking to musta about this and he was like after he musta was huge and and used to be very strong
07:47
and he hurt himself a little bit and when he went back to the gym he just like I lifted the bar for
07:53
a month he's like I don't care like people look at me weird I don't give a fuck I'm you know
07:57
humongous human being just do that and just show up and lift lighter and you can lift longer yeah
08:02
and plus with all the driving and shit my muscles are stronger than my joints like my joints are
08:10
fucked up and so like tendonitis and my stupid ham my quad tendon shit and so like my quad is like
08:17
way stronger than my quad tendon my bicep is way stronger than my fucking elbow and so like
08:23
my biceps like sure like no problem like another plate like I'm not saying like Superman but like
08:29
my bicep can lift way more than I can lift but my elbows will simultaneously snap right because
08:36
they spend tight or something 40 hours a week driving fucking cars around yeah that's one of the
08:41
good things um about rock climbing but that it takes a long time for people's tendons to toughen
08:47
like you could be a really strong person but you could still hurt yourself because your tendons
08:51
depending on what your workouts beforehand might be weak that's like you hurt your fingers a lot
08:55
like the old the that's like the rock climbing equivalent of like old man strength yeah like
09:00
what's that documentary about like that mr. olympia or one of those and it's like you know this young
09:06
guy who's like who's the game of thrones guy you know half nor whatever the fuck the guy's name
09:10
was it was a huge game of throwing the mountain yeah he throws that guy and then this other dude in
09:15
like the ukraine or some i'm insulting this person's legacy by another dude who's like like almost
09:22
like rocky but like 55 years old doesn't look that big works out like under a bridge like just
09:30
punching concrete you know seriously like looks like he's working out in like a war zone essentially
09:36
and then just goes and he's like you know in she's shorter and visibly much smaller and much much
09:42
older and it's in this and he just like wrecks everybody because he has this like unbelievable
09:47
old man strength it's just the cumulation of uh of whatever um it's the documentary wasn't about
09:56
a record but it was uh it was about these different uh disciplines or something like that just different
10:01
ways of going about like the strongest man someone in the comments will fucking not only know exactly
10:07
what i'm talking about but be like really offended at how poorly i just described the whole thing but
10:12
it old man strength good is the the the fucking moral yeah just just stay in the game for a long
10:19
time well that's also the peter atia like outlive thing which is like shout out to peter he rules but
10:25
like you know whatever you want to be doing in your 60s and 70s skiing golf running up the stairs
10:32
hiking driving stick whatever in your 30s and 40s work on the muscles and joints that would
10:39
make those activities easier you know like start it now especially he talked about i think not on
10:46
our show but a different thing is the quick quick reaction muscles really fall off as we age and
10:51
there's almost nothing we can do to stop that except lifting heavy weight that seems to help a bit
10:57
but that's why older people fall it's just like your your brain might go oh i'm falling but your
11:02
muscle can't react to put your foot in the right place and all that stuff yeah that makes sense
11:05
it's not what happened ace fraley didn't he just died from kiss he died like yesterday okay but uh
11:12
i think he got a like a brain bleed or something as a result of a of a slip and fall shit yeah wow
11:18
terrible falling bad um so anyway i'm fucking proud of myself and i have a few thousand people to brag
11:25
to to brag about so there we go um and speaking of me um know next weekend uh is it next weekend

17:34
to wear the uh the colorfuls and tuxedos and then arrive at pebble beach concor by dinghy on the
17:41
on the beach side storm walk up storm the beach you know like in a nonviolent way but yeah and
17:46
then the key is to have passes right when they try to kick you out you just like you have tickets
17:50
yeah we just took a non-orthodox uh arrival yeah but that's what i want to do yeah i mean i like
17:56
that but i like wet suit or dry suit over the tux that would be all back off the dinghy scuba
18:05
to shore oh help for us very pretty pimp you know james bond done done done done done done
18:10
and you know philip with um airmanx was like hey oh fly the plane add to this you know have you ever
18:20
jumped out of an albatross at low altitude now we're just boom boom boom now what do what kind
18:26
of gym work do we need to do to train to jump out of a moving airplane like i'm in wearing scuba gear
18:32
but yeah no i'm not doing that and uh i don't think you can do that i mean maybe the navy seals
18:37
can't but i think even they prefer helicopters listen ken is like um no you know you have to do
18:44
hang i was out at we were i was hanging around some people's like when it's a fine you can that's
18:50
true oh the plane would land and we jump out we wouldn't jump out while flying low altitude it could
18:55
or it couldn't this is some batman stuff which i'm interested in commando you know it's like that
19:00
well you have to skydive out of the plane deploy parachute and then when you're low over the water
19:04
you whatever unclip parachute drop into water and then scuba in the ding or the dinghy rolls out of
19:11
the back like what c 130 look at you know a schwarzenegger movie you guide it down yeah and you
19:16
you glide it like a squirrel suit sure you wear it's mission it's mission impossible tom cruise
19:22
looks stunt coordinate you ride it like a squirrel suit down and then fire it up and now we're there
19:29
we need pastrana like he has to test this and if he lives we need scott oh get a call a zoom call
19:35
the other scott oh pastrana jim kana nine tom cruise you know michael bag yeah get them all together
19:42
you know rock rock rockheimer well we're gonna need rockheimer honestly not a bad way to die
19:48
like remember the guy that he squirrel suited into a couple of boxes of that would you die doing
19:54
if you don't deploy a parachute and you just trust the dinghy for slowing your fall you're dead well
19:59
even squirrel suit people use a parachute they do yeah yeah so you you squirrel suit with the dinghy
20:04
in the last minute you you cut i thought you meant you ride the dinghy like indiana jones remember
20:11
that remember that in the movie he jumps out all their they're on a boat and then they just happen
20:15
to land on the down slope which maybe technically would work like the gentlest thing in the world
20:18
dude i love the stunts in indiana jones because they're all like so clearly done in calabasas
20:25
i'm supposed to be like in the jungle tunisia dude in last cruise i just was watching last crusade
20:31
and in the hotel like on my trip and dude when they when they fucking exit the the zeppelin on the
20:38
in the plane and they get into this like motorcycle chase the nazis and they're in a like a stolen
20:44
morgan in the motors that whole scene is like i'm like was this in thousand oaks like is this supposed
20:49
to be in the black forest there's a pink very right there like malibu what are you doing over
20:55
here that's a coffee bean and tea leaf wait a minute yeah i love it um and now ironically they film
21:02
everything outside the country because it's cheaper yeah cheaper to fly cheaper to roco than to make
21:08
thousand oaks look like morocco snow unions now they make they're gonna it's all gonna look does
21:16
that look like it lana and why does everything look like suburban georgia yeah um so anyway
21:22
speaking of suburban georgia i will be at the hilton head concourse um you know it's funny i
21:29
i'm supposed to take a panamera there from you know portia it would be more fun if i took the
21:36
nine eighteen but those aren't good miles four hours highway each way that's not good that's not
21:41
nine eighteen miles that stinks nope that's just an uncomfortable loud car for four hours
21:46
yeah panamera will be way better for that yeah i don't even know which panamera i said but
21:50
everyone's laying around they're all comfy what a good death trap look at this belly tanker yeah
21:54
belly tankers them shits is dangerous um so anyway i'll be there and then uh if you're a watch nerd

23:17
so last night was larry chen as type s event uh in long beach formula d did you post pictures on
23:23
your instagram i put them on my story on your stories are they still exist it's yo story so i
23:30
hope they do you're right you were right there you were on the top of the list already um it was
23:35
cool they took over a parking garage like full-on fucking jdm style hot boy shit um larry was
23:43
selling books there was a lot of fucking people so many people and they said 10 000 people came
23:48
through and it felt like 3000 we're there while we were there we got there we were there from seven
23:53
8 30 i think but like uh a couple trends i noticed street glow is very much back oh for sure i didn't
24:02
i didn't know this i haven't i haven't guess i haven't been like seen enough but like street
24:06
glow is really back i think it's a lot of type s is business or a portion of it for sure is led
24:11
lighting for cars yeah so that there's that um i did not see so many supras but i did see a ton
24:18
of skylines lots of skylines that's true they were only i remember seeing i mean i know old
24:25
supers there were a lot of a lot of new so many new super i think there were three or four mark
24:29
four supers but this is a rare time where the skyline's outnumbered them 10 to 1 yeah for sure
24:34
um a lot of cool hondas uh that one dude that one si that we saw that wasn't even in the show
24:41
we were leaving that that blue one the 2000 si oh yeah oh that was fabulous uh and of course larry
24:48
was just like crushing it i said i saw i saw vin i saw ryan turk i saw uh jared d and i was down
24:56
there i know i know sung kang was down there uh do it promoting his uh drifter movie uh but he was
25:03
like bro he was mobbed well they did a i don't know if it's happening when we were there i guess him
25:08
and jared and some other folks did like a fireside chat yeah they did it was while we were walking
25:11
so that's why there was this huge crowd just gathered we couldn't even tell what they were
25:15
looking at there were so many we were trying to walk around like while those guys weren't doing that
25:19
how crazy the rest of the show had been if all those people weren't very packed there yeah super
25:24
fact and it was free i mean i don't know about showing a car but certainly getting in as a as a
25:28
pedestrian showing it they said uh first hundred cars that arrived were free and then every any car
25:33
that arrived after that at like 4 p.m. had to pay then just the normal parking garage rate oh oh yeah
25:38
because the yeah just whatever that is that garage is probably free during the day and cost money
25:43
maybe yeah um but it was rad i mean it was a really uh it was very much uh as close as you could get
25:51
i would say to doing a true like a jdm style parking garage show yeah like in la for sure the
25:59
background isn't quite the same as tokyo but like but the background is very much vice city so
26:05
in this long beach port like that is like the background it was effectively the same i mean i
26:09
like i like the selection of cars was pretty cool it was mostly japanese cars very few european cars
26:15
like i saw one new camaro one old nova and that crazy square body truck yeah that was a magnificent
26:22
sponsored magnificent supercharger build i think that was it that oh and then the mustang well
26:28
yeah i mean i saw i saw one jdm modified portia like a 997 convertible that like was modified as if
26:35
it was an eclipse which not hating but that's like that's how like right oh man it was very much a
26:46
third gen eclipse convertible yeah but it was a portion it was a portion yeah there's something
26:51
the way they lowered it the way they stretch the fenders it just changed the proportions
26:55
it turned it into an eclipse yeah and uh i saw like two bmw's
27:05
yeah i mean mostly japanese stuff which is maybe one or two volkswagen's like a little green rabbit
27:10
a little green rabbit with oh what was the license plate what's up doc what's up doc was great yeah
27:15
there was some cool stuff um that miyata we saw that had what does that body get called the coop
27:21
body the full coop body looks so good yeah that's probably that's just a fun thing that's having
27:26
your british rooster you see if you can find out where to buy that like how much it costs to make
27:31
one of those guys one more break from the action because delete me is in the house and right now

turns out there was over a thousand instances of my personal data my family's personal data
28:38
out there and so they got rid of a lot of it automatically there were other things where
28:43
i had to take a couple of clicks do a couple of things there was other ones where they had to
28:47
file like legal notices to take it down but they do all that i don't really have to do much except
28:53
click yes click yes sign here and they keep going it's not just one time every month they would send

and now back to the show yeah we saw it was on our review all right so for those if anyone's like
29:57
listening live it has it it was an nb miata with a with a full fastback rear conversion
30:05
right i wouldn't do coop i would say nb miata fastback that's probably what that'll get us
30:10
that's it isn't that it is that this that might be basically that's basically the car yeah ccp
30:16
fabrication fastback top yeah okay that's yeah i think that looks awesome looks really good it
30:23
looks like dude with and the one that we saw at the show they had a bit of a different nose on it
30:28
it almost had like little mini aston martin vibes like 100 it was pretty pimp actually this looks
30:36
exactly like the car yeah i wonder if we could build one of those where the seat is far enough
30:41
that would be the kind of like race car i would like like endurance race car yeah just because
30:45
it looks awesome i'm down i think we stood there i think the longest of any of the cars there we
30:50
just were like uh that's pretty even from this angle that's good yeah pretty good also good pretty
30:54
good yeah i like that um and the one in the show this yeah oh look at this one this is unpainted i
31:01
think this one's unpainted but also he's got the fastback on but without it maybe it's got a
31:08
removable target roof also oh did the uh this guy's got a target roof taken off which is pretty slick
31:17
hmm it's from panos i don't know what that is it's pretty cool though i really like it yeah
31:24
me too that's fun so that was a good event and then we also went to uh race service to check out
31:29
the new rtr's um one of which i found i thought it was coming yesterday it's coming next sunday
31:35
okay so uh which we're gonna be storing it while it's in la here at westside but actually zack and i
31:41
'll get to uh yeah that's the one from carndriver get to make a video with it but this is the the
31:45
new four-cylinder one which is kind of cool it's like an eco boost and it gets um uh big breaks
31:52
from the gt performance cat pack it gets some like different chassis things from uh from the dark horse
31:58
it's got the drift brake programming um and it's an eco boost so i actually am kind of stoked to
32:04
drive this i haven't driven an eco boost Mustang since like 2017 at all i think me too i think we
32:09
rented one for something a long time ago yeah um i wonder how much lighter it is like how much
32:16
lighter let me look it up how much lighter the eco boost Mustang is i don't know it's probably pretty
32:19
might the last time i drove one i was like okay but it wasn't it wasn't that interesting uh jr
32:27
seemed pretty stoked on this one though and then he's also got one that's 810 horsepower which is
32:33
a gt-based one with a ripple on it and then there's this other crazy one that's coming out that that
32:40
really looks a lot like the rtr with the with like a crazy wide body on it it doesn't have
32:46
inboard suspension the way the rtr does but but it has sort of the same aesthetic and a lot of power
32:51
and other things um quick google says the eco boost Mustang should weigh at 150 to 200 pounds less
32:56
than a gt in the nose oh yeah so the equivalent equipment so that can make it feel pretty interesting
33:03
yeah i don't know i bet if you put square stance on one i bet it would turn in like real nice yeah
33:09
so that's pretty cool it looks fun it raised every race service they had the in and out truck
33:14
out there i swear the in and out truck burgers maybe because it was just so close from the grill
33:20
to my hand we're like better than in a restaurant i agree i i don't really like in and out i do not
33:26
go to the restaurant voluntarily ever but i was hungry there but that burger maybe i was hungry it
33:30
just hit the spot and i was like this is pretty solid i will only eat in and out on the road as
33:36
like a kind of an only option and i will not i don't get the fries yeah they're terrible you have to
33:44
watch the limb have to watch carls in and out review from when he came out to la and we took him
33:50
to in and out his in and out review is so spot on it's still on youtube it's amazing i probably
33:56
watch it once a year and he nailed it so much and i now i just get what he said to get
34:03
based on his and and he was right you get you'd skip the fries and you either get double double
34:09
animal style and a vanilla shake or two single cheese cheese burgers animal style and a vanilla
34:15
shake just interesting that that's the move i'll watch that video his restaurant i was gonna say
34:20
takedowns analyses are very funny no they're not takedowns i think i think he's incredibly
34:24
complimentary in to restaurants that somebody of his comedic caliber could easily shit on
34:32
but because he's he's a he's a fucking a back of house kind of guy like there's a lot of things
34:39
he said like that olive garden did well there's a there was things he liked at applebee's there's
34:43
things he like i mean he said he said that about mcdonald's like any chef in the world would kill
34:50
to make fries like this you know like stuff like that he also said that the in the about the flea
34:56
fish that it tastes like the tasted like the fish volunteered to be in this sandwich which is kind
35:01
of crazy funny oh yeah um but uh yeah no but his also his fucking his when he shits on something
35:09
it's brutal so it's really fun um right so the rtr thing was awesome um the cars seem pretty cool
35:18
can't wait to uh can't wait to drive them yeah jr's fun the 800 horsepower one i just like the
35:22
the wing on it looked good the color choice was good they just they put the right parts on there
35:26
man yeah it was nice um okay so i got a free car um and i have finally brought photos of it so i can
35:35
actually talk about it and bear in mind this is this is the this is going to be the the before
35:42
of a of a project car so start without second row the last the last one down there that yeah there's
35:47
so uh oh the um word and that's weird stand by boo so hannah's uh hannah's and uncle uh
35:58
and liz and uncle phil she has an uncle phil uh wanted to get rid of their 1994 uh mercedes
36:06
e 320 cabriole and when i was a kid and these were new do you know that this car in 1994
36:15
unadjusted for inflation was 85 thousand dollars unadjusted unadjusted this was an
36:21
85 thousand dollar car in 1994 these things were insanely expensive they were essentially the price
36:30
of s else wow yeah and so um they were like when i was growing up like rich people drove these
36:39
things and i always thought they were kind of cool biggie smalls rolled one of these in brooklyn
36:43
in one of the videos and obviously i mean today you know not much to look at right it's a whatever
36:50
one two four cab you see them around those sometimes but i thought this one is it's it's
36:57
two owners and it's uh but and liz and uncle phil have had it for like 12 years 13 years and it's
37:03
only 60 000 miles um but it's uh it's sat outside in their house in florida for the last uh couple
37:12
years under a carport but but pretty much outside runs drives okay but it's pretty scruffy so we were
37:20
talking to and you can scroll through uh the red it's red which is nice i mean red is a good color
37:26
i think it does need to be repainted but i don't think there's i don't think it needs a color change
37:33
adjusted for inflation thanks to the chat is 185 so that is and i'm looking right now at
37:40
Mercedes convertibles to see what they sell that is no you know you're s l 63 to get that much yeah
37:47
they don't sell in a four four yeah the s l 63 starts at 187 yeah in an s l 53 or they don't make
37:53
the s l 43 starts at 112 this is wow very expensive this was an expensive car so i mean we just sold
38:01
it west side a pretty good one for like 25 000 dollars a good one is 25 grand this one i could
38:09
probably get seven or eight four as it sits as a project but i don't want to do that so i was talking
38:17
to shant of cms motorsports who's the fucking amg the guy he's nuts i mean he's their their bodywork
38:24
is beautiful but also he's nuts um and so we were thinking of doing a fun cruiser project
38:31
and i said i want to make the this is the same chassis as the e 500 i said i want to make the
38:36
e 500 that that never and that never existed oh done easy easy so um if we don't have to color
38:46
change that's great but basically we get a complete uh 500 powertrain with a five-speed automatic
38:52
you can get the e 500 oem suspension or aftermarket suspension you get some nice wheels you do the the
39:00
front clip the entire front fenders and nose you get oem mercedes e 500 goes right on the doors
39:08
are the doors you don't need to change um the rear three quarters you have to make from these but
39:16
they're like no problem because we don't want to it's not a it's a wide body it's not a wide body
39:21
it's like just like the e 500 like subtle and then you do the rear e 500 rear rear bumper
39:27
and then you're essentially done uh and then you uh and look our rear bumper is
39:32
fucking holding it yeah it's got a fucking hole in it the front bumper does too so like fortunately
39:38
the panels that we would keep are in really good shape and the panels that were throwing away
39:44
and we're fucking throwing away um the whole the power it runs and drives it actually it drives
39:49
better than it looks um but we're throwing all that away or you know script maybe we'll sell
39:54
the engine sell the gearbox but basically throw it away and the go to the interior
39:59
the interior is complete not terrible uh actually yeah your dashboard is not cracked the dashboard
40:07
is not cracked um the the wood isn't totally fucked the steering wheel is in okay shape um
40:14
but we would retrim essentially everything like some crazy crazy color crazy yeah it'd be fun
40:21
you know socal socal good time it's red black leather um put a cool stereo in it um I don't
40:29
know if the e 500 had different seats from the regular but but whatever it is we're made do the
40:36
right ones uh the top works which is great that's fucking though if the top didn't work that could
40:42
be problematic so pretty sure we can uh do this project reasonably economically using this car
40:53
look i'm sorry oh yeah I think they're the same I don't I don't think they look pretty much the
40:58
same yeah uh well actually the bolsters look different really maybe the backs are different
41:03
I think they have I think the e 500 had slightly more uh bolstering on both the seat and the back
41:10
well we're I mean we you know I kind of I really like the fucking euro ricaros of that period that
41:15
everybody was doing too like that could be fun that'd be bad and also and you know my my stupid
41:20
back a good seat is important you have to have a good seat so we I would take out this this weird
41:26
you know this like uh not tough did but the oh yeah what do you what do you call that uh
41:32
door card curtain I don't it's like um Porsche's Porsche they call it like luxury leather or
41:38
something I fucking hate it that's the perfect description of it because that's what it's trying
41:42
to be yeah it's just like look we added leather here it's when the leather's not it's not loose but
41:47
it's like soft and wavy um it's uh it looks like a curtain to me it looks like a curtain hanging
41:53
across a stage yes that's exactly like it's draped yeah yeah exactly like our back curtain
42:00
get that's gotta go and you get the tartan yeah you know the you do bus fabric or you some
42:07
fucking crap we would look amazing ditch the burlwood replace that with something fun you know
42:13
it'd be so fun if you replace the burlwood with like like acrylic like the shift knob in the
42:18
Manx but like with like a scene in it oh yeah like like a comic type thing yeah yeah type thing
42:24
that'd be cool like a diorama yeah acrylic diorama that's like you know quarter inch thick right
42:31
so anyway like you know a little cruiser so this is not the driver's seat's pretty fucked if this
42:37
photo when you show the passenger seat first yeah it makes the interior look better than it is
42:42
and when you show the driver's seat first it makes the interior look worse than it is yeah it looks
42:47
like the the skin of a person who lived in the desert for 80 years yeah you're missing a knob on
42:51
the left side of the driver's side backrest yeah there's a cut in the back itself yeah there's a
42:57
tear in it it's the driver's seat is no way no we don't we don't I mean it can probably be repaired
43:02
it probably doesn't need to be thrown away but like you you but anyway I you know I think a
43:12
you know I think a cool a cool cruiser for a little while could be fun well this is kind
43:17
of you can make a comfortable Manx more comfortable like truly you know Manx has no windows yeah yeah
43:24
and if you can do this with whimsy and stuff but it has windows and a locking trunk yeah that kind
43:29
of thing and we looked up the hard top to where you were you didn't we do it together yeah it looks
43:34
good it looks amazing it's very good Sean said they're really hard to find and they're really
43:37
expensive okay they're most they're almost none of them are sold in America wow you got to get them
43:42
from Europe and then it's like ship them and who fucking knows so okay not I probably not worth it
43:48
because what happens is you put the hard dub on you still have to like exercise the convertible
43:52
top anyway and you have to store the top spaces and I was I said what if we like get rid of the
44:02
top entirely and make like a speedster tonneau you know like a two like two door it and he was
44:10
like you mean like chop the wheelbase I was like no no but like make a make a fill it in yeah fill it
44:14
in something I don't know with that well it's got a back seat right yeah so that cover might be so
44:20
long that the proportions would look that's true it would like let's go you know you'll be a big
44:26
tonneau it would look weird you know how it would look how it would look awesome is if you put the
44:30
front seats in the back seats and just extended everything rearward to give it like a super
44:35
long nose like an X caliber you know what I actually take it back because long buttresses look better
44:40
than short ones uh-huh and so if the buttress went from like here to here and wasn't too tall
44:47
yeah I don't know we need someone to someone's got a photoshop yeah the bold idea though you
44:52
know what you're doing you're building your the the german version of the sn95 speedster thing you
44:58
want that's what you're doing yeah you want to paint yellow do you know I don't like I don't want
45:03
yellow do you like this red or should we go for a different red because we you because it because
45:07
the thing is with the color change it's like the door jams and the engine bay and shit so
45:12
so like but we could change the red without really having to paint the door jams and the engine bay
45:17
wouldn't look that stupid that's true um I think I think I need to see it polished up yeah I think
45:24
here it's got a little pink to it here it's more red red you know fire truck red from the front
45:29
it's got a little pink from the rear three quarter once upon a time this thing was fire truck red
45:34
is that it's that awesome red that mercedes that are mercedes from that period that's painted that
45:40
color today that's really good it brings a lot more money oh it's a popular color it's oh great
45:45
I've seen on s l's a lot yeah yeah then I think maybe it polishes up really nice because painting
45:49
the car oh we have to paint the car you have to paint the car oh yeah we have to it's just a
45:53
matter of like but painting it the same color is way cheaper than changing the color yes that's
45:58
what I mean I think the color is fine I would keep the color I would too you know painting your engine
46:04
bay I mean there's a reason my engine bay is blue you know yeah it's really expensive yeah but we're
46:09
taking the engine out anyway oh that's true yeah the engine's coming out anyway oh I mean look it's
46:17
I think the color I think if we paint it the good red yeah it looks it'll look good then that's what
46:24
matters like it's what you want and if I'm not saying I don't like this color I'm saying it's what
46:29
it's literally what you want the engine's out I mean it's no better time but the red is a great
46:33
red the mercedes red looks awesome yeah looks like any good bright red so keep it yeah nothing wrong
46:38
with it and then it's more period correct otherwise you I think you have to go crazy
46:43
mint chocolate not like you know mint green something sexual chocolate purple green would be
46:49
right or BRB it's black and you know my chain is coloring too I don't know I don't know
46:56
fucking sky's the limit got a lot of decisions but this is a next year project because we have
47:01
we have to you know free up some finances first it's not this isn't this is gonna be a
47:06
this won't be a but but anyway just car has arrived spent Hannah's money that she just yeah right
47:10
baby you get to get the front yard she fought for her for two years and you're like I'll take that
47:14
thank you were you there when I told zuckerman that she was zuckerman gave out the willow spangs
47:20
with spike in them and I was like zuckerman guess what had a winner case she fucking beat
47:26
Elon you know fucking all this you know I'm so proud of her and he goes you know half of that's
47:33
yours and I was like I was like oh yeah he's like communal property right that's right he's like
47:41
you supported her I was like oh shit it depends on the terms of your your prenup but yeah that's
47:48
funny that's fucking cold I do that there a lot where she's like can I have some of your water
47:53
I go well half of it's yours yeah but I think this will be I think this will be a fun a fun one
48:00
to freight train around in totally you know yeah and Sean says the e500 complete e500 power train
48:07
costs nothing what do you think about air suspension I think a lot about air suspension on this car I
48:13
think this is an example where air suspension is definitely warranted yes because then you get I
48:19
do think that yeah park it looks good yep just drop it yeah I also think it's an example where
48:25
hydraulics are warranted if you want to make a bounce I've always kind of wanted to do those ride
48:30
like garbage like there's when they when you're going on the road yeah that's no good that's no good
48:36
yeah so cool yeah buddy I'm very excited for this free benzito I think keep it red I just the
48:45
thought of pulling out all these seams to paint the door jams yeah no I'm gonna red I don't
48:55
that's good that's fucking I made it red that's so funny because then if someone
48:58
gets a red Ferrari which is like the most I made it red in the world people like
49:02
because they're all red if all the Mercedes were red then it would be boring it's all the
49:07
Mercedes are black and silver so red is good that's true right dare to be different children
49:15
awesome yeah yeah all right cool so free car that's funny car let's go to the people unless
49:21
do you have anything else we need to cover today I don't think but no we're at 45 minutes no I'm
49:26
happy to go to the people because they have a lot to say the patreons we love them over there
49:30
patreon.com slash the smoking tire podcast it's uh it's how you listen to the live stream it's how
49:36
you get the show before anybody else it's how you get the show without ads it's how you contribute
49:41
to the show with questions it's how you get to have us read off the funny names as you made
49:46
and it's how you get early and exclusive access uh to collabs and such oh speaking of collabs and
49:53
such the notice the next notice project is on the way it's it's it's happening it's in process designs
50:00
but on a recent episode I I teased the possibility of doing one more color of the canyon which we're
50:10
going to do uh it won't be available until March that's like that's which probably means April but
50:20
so which is good because it is a summer a spring summer color it's not a fall winter color anyway
50:27
so uh if you hadn't gotten one of the watches and you want a color that is very much me
50:35
and approved by all of my friends that I've showed it to so far who've said they want one
50:43
prepare prepare yourself have I seen this color yes I think no I don't know actually if you've
50:51
seen it have you seen all the colors I thought thought well I you made the I don't want to I don't
50:56
want to say you made this right yeah don't blow it up okay but I'll but I'll show it to you yeah
51:01
all right um anyway so there is another color coming and it is going to be very fun
51:09
and I'm very excited but but all the other colors are fully sold out oh I've seen it it looks good
51:15
oh yeah it's the one that's not up there yeah not the one I gave to my mom
51:20
yeah I think so anyway okay uh Dakar all the Porsches should I get a sports car even though
51:27
I live in a place wait can you make it zoom in a little Zach can I should I get a sports car even
51:32
though I live in a place with mostly open highway and straight arterial roads Florida I'm struggling
51:38
to balance what I want versus what makes the most sense for where I live tough call and I hear you
51:45
um let me just say Floridians don't seem to have much trouble with this um sports cars everywhere
51:51
yeah I mean look you can still enjoy a sports car on highways you know maybe you can't enjoy it as
51:59
much as if there's corners but like a 911 or a Corvette or a Ferrari 296 or a Cayman is still a
52:07
lovely thing on a highway and so much of it is about how you feel walking out to it getting
52:13
in starting it driving that this knowing you're in this thing that you like a lot yeah and like
52:18
sports cars a big world like maybe you should get a GT car maybe you should get a front engine
52:23
sports car that's more for highways I mean maybe instead of a Ferrari 458 you get an F12 or something
52:32
like that may you know maybe instead you know so uh you look at a GT a Bentley GT or something where
52:38
that'll that'll make sense for the kind of driving that you're doing um more so than a twisty you know
52:45
a Miata on highway I would I would say probably don't do that yeah like if you're talking about like
52:50
a little four cylinder slow car fast type I don't know why I keep doing put my glass back on slow car
52:56
fast type car like nah muscle car you know Mustang Camaro there's a highway car Vipers highway car
53:05
Corvette front engine Corvettes rear engine Corvettes mid-engine Corvettes whatever highway
53:08
cars like those are all fine mm-hmm yeah um bush did 997 got married last week and congratulations
53:16
wife gifted me the Rolex oyster perpetual that is fucking superb your wife has great taste
53:25
this is my foray into nice watch ownership can you give me a rundown on best practices
53:32
wow best practices okay let's assume the watch is brand new I assume it's brand new uh you have
53:39
a five year warranty Rolexes are my favorite watches because they're so durable you can
53:47
abs you can wear that watch every day even if you're a fucking construction worker for the
53:52
rest of your life like that's what that's why they cost so much money um and that's been my
53:58
experience with them you can treat them really badly and it's fine um and in fact makes them
54:04
better so my first best practice is wear that motherfucker don't store it away in a box just
54:10
to keep it shiny um if it really is you know it's hard it's a hard thing to to do but like
54:15
if it gets scratched like okay like whatever fucking move on live your life like one day
54:20
you'll have a kid and you'll be able to tell the story of that scratch and they'll want the watch
54:24
because of that scratch um servicing this is a very easy to service watch do not get it serviced
54:32
every five years wear it until it stops it's keeping good time and then get it serviced
54:37
parts availability is not an issue just you'll probably get 10 years 12 years before it starts
54:42
running a little funny you take it in you get a service whatever um and uh for cleaning it uh if
54:49
you wear it a lot you do want to clean it uh hand soap like liquid hand soap and an old
54:55
soft toothbrush both sides in between wear it in the shower once in a while get some shampoo up in
55:02
there nothing nothing to it absolutely into it wear it beat the absolute shit out of it
55:09
and enjoy and congratulations on getting married waymo handjobs from women i hardly know
55:16
what uh oh what other automotive journalist has the most influence on your opinions have
55:22
you reformed that opinion about a car and had a conversation with another journalist and then
55:26
change your mind about it on the next drive interesting question zack do you have one
55:32
i think it's it's definitely happened i'm just trying to remember in a specific example like
55:37
i know there's been times where i've disliked something about a car talked to someone who
55:42
i trust their opinion and they go i you know maybe they enter the corner like this or they
55:47
pointed out something i don't know and then i go okay and i just approach it differently and they
55:50
went oh yeah that's true um yeah i once i once told chris harris that something couldn't be done
55:57
in a car and then he proved to me that actually it could i just wasn't good enough at driving
56:02
and uh okay you know and so uh so to a certain degree i trust what chris has to say about cars
56:09
having said that you know chris talks about a lot about what cars are like beyond the limit
56:16
if you can't drive like that that may not apply to you at all um so nobody is gospel um so like
56:24
but i but when i'm listening when i'm when i'm hearing opinions from from other people about
56:30
cars i'm usually paying attention to the people that i know are really fast if you're if you're
56:35
really fast and we're at dinner at the press launch and you and i'm listening to here if we
56:40
end up in the same place they're actually less so the fucking me and that's so the other journalists
56:44
than the racing drivers you know you go to fucking spain um and do you believe you me at dinner
56:49
i am sitting my ass down next to your burgmeister and i am not getting up like you know that's
56:56
where you want to be or like if you're lucky enough to sit down next to like the head of
57:00
chassis development definitely or something like that man can you learn some shit so like that's
57:06
where i've had my mind changed more by the engineer that developed the system i was questioning
57:13
than by another journalist hmm um i feel like it goes it ping pongs like because sometimes i'm
57:21
skeptical that you know the engineer of course is going to paint the the brightest picture
57:24
and they're gonna say well we did this because we did this because we did this but you can
57:27
definitely learn a lot from talking to them of course uh like when i sat next to the head engineer
57:32
for the zr2 um bison edition and he pulled a fucking shock valve out of his pocket and he's
57:40
like here's all the here's the 15 things in this valve we can change i was just blown away it was so
57:45
cool to see what they could do that was very educational um but i mean if they want if you want
57:51
to name people chris jethro um andrew frankle um they're all british um i trust jack a lot because
58:02
they do a lot of track testing yeah jack he's a good driver me me and jack agree a lot on stuff
58:08
although he's a little less generous than me he's a little he's a little he's a little bit of a
58:16
harsher critic sometimes which is funny because he also makes you know films that are in participation
58:21
with the oems you know more than i do so uh that's a fine line to to to dance but we're
58:28
going to be together on 9 11 turbo launch but yeah he's a he's a very good driver absolutely for sure
58:35
um sergeant macaroni rolex watchmaker here all right i bought the canyon black pearl
58:41
and i'm super impressed with the dial and fit and finish on the watch after working on all
58:46
only rolex for years now that is such a nice compliment thank you very much for saying that
58:52
um i'm really glad you're impressed by it um unrelated question between the plans of reviewing
58:59
the honda passport trail sport uh can you get a photo of that sure i mean dude honestly like i
59:08
wouldn't do it uh for a video nobody would watch it but that's not to say that i wouldn't grab one
59:14
for a few days and hit the hit the trail just to see how it goes and for like instagram yep like i
59:19
would do that um does it have like real off-road capability or is it just like some knobbies
59:27
increase clown currents improve right i go does it have um just their tagline of the lows on
59:34
calling it slow is overselling a lot heavier than before not that practical well car and
59:40
driver was not impressed but uh i mean i i would have a go uh i would have a go is it is it a v6
59:47
it's the v6 god that thing is chugging along huh three and a half liter v6 285 horsepower
59:54
now with 4800 pounds they just keep adding gears now it's got 10 gears they just 4800 pounds
00:01
with 285 horsepower yeah it's not uh not fast i don't know but yeah well we we could try and
00:08
take it up the hill wait which what transmission is this thing 10 speed automatic okay but it's
00:13
trans is it a transverse or is it a is it longitudinal if this has got a halldeck's
00:20
fucking gearbox do it it's not gonna be good at off-roading i mean it doesn't necessarily have
00:25
to be but i wouldn't buy that trail sport thing with those tires for like on-road use
00:31
like that's just not going to be as nice to drive as regular tires standard all-wheel drive torque
00:36
vectoring rear diff i don't know we can try all right well we'll try we'll call we'll call honda
00:43
i'll make a note we'll call honda for you we'll say hey honda sergeant macaroni
00:49
uh we'll start it like a top gear segment we've gotten a letter from sergeant macaroni
00:57
passport trail sport all right we'll find we'll find some dirt rolex lt larry at king ranch for a
01:07
daily driver driven on twisty roads for my commute in the cat skills should i get dedicated summer
01:14
and winter tires are all-weather like michelin cross climate dude if your budget can do summer
01:20
and winter you should also like my daily for a daily that is driven on twisty roads like
01:30
if your daily is just is like a
01:33
a honda cord a honda cord and you don't have to drive below freezing very often i mean the cat
01:42
skills you probably do the thing about winter tires and the cat skills if it doesn't need to
01:47
be snowy if it's cold you're gonna have summer tire grip with your winter tires even if it's dry
01:55
yeah like driving on winter tires and the cold is so awesome you don't i mean the rubber like is
02:01
softer at that temperature it spreads out it grips the ground better and summer tires will do the
02:07
opposite effect when it's too cold they're very hard they they slip a lot more uh it's not a good
02:12
time yeah yeah i mean there's you can look this up on tire rack or somewhere like there's a there's
02:16
a temperature window you know that tires operate in and if they are safe out i think ps4 is it's
02:22
down to like 45 or something it's pretty low which is good but if you're driving below that they'll
02:26
be very hard and very slippery yeah um i would yeah that that's all we got on that but stew dog
02:35
this is a tough question okay and i'm going to read the question and try to answer the question
02:39
but for anyone listening if you plan on asking a question like this in the future i do need a little
02:43
more info in order to really be helpful uh my dad finally wants to invest in a nice watch for himself
02:49
a one and done watch for a man in his late fifties what do you recommend budget six thousand dollar
02:56
range i've been steering him towards omega tutor and grand seiko this is a that's a great budget
03:03
for a one and done watch you're getting a you're going to get a swiss or very high end
03:08
japanese watch high or medium high end german watch um uh it's the kind of watch that will
03:15
last forever um it'll look you can get something that looks great with every outfit i assume that's
03:20
what you mean by one and done um so you're probably talking about something that is in the general
03:25
genre of what i'm wearing right now which is the grand seiko bamboo dial 40 millimeter steel sport
03:32
watch um that can handle some water resistance that can handle you know t-shirt and jeans working
03:39
outside that can go go good with a sport jacket all the way up to just below tuxedo that's pretty
03:46
you know tuxedo you don't really want to if you're really fancy you don't want to even wear a steel
03:51
Rolex that's leather strap and thin and all that fancy shit but like six grand you're starting with
03:56
omega tutor and grand seiko bro right in the wheelhouse but there's a bunch of other shit too
04:02
there's cardiac uh there's there's panorai there's any number of um there's there's there's gonna be
04:12
like i don't know if you can get you might be able to get into some zenith you can probably get into
04:19
a bunch of oris and chris ward and like there there's so many companies sell like that's that
04:27
five is where like omega tutor and grand seiko start to get interesting but that's also like
04:35
the very high end of those brands right below that's like so the question is do you want to get
04:42
the watch equivalent of um
04:47
of a uh let's call it a Honda Accord okay fully loaded the extended leather the good wheels
04:57
you know all everything bells and whistles you know you got a $35,000 car you've optioned it up
05:03
to 48.5 the high end fully loaded shit or do you want to get an entry level Lexus that doesn't
05:12
have special wheels and it doesn't have special paint and that that that's kind of the comparison
05:17
so like omega tutor and grand seiko sounds like you want an entry level Lexus totally cool and
05:26
start there and just see what he likes looking at on his wrist i mean that's that's kind of from
05:31
there it's like what feels good what looks good you know does he have a big wrist a small wrist
05:36
does he like fucking green or black or blue or blah blah blah but you're going in the right direction
05:43
alternatively you could go in the other direction and go bell and ross bowman mercier
05:47
mont blanc um these other other type of like uh long jeans like entry level swiss brands and you
05:55
could buy the very top of that maybe Breitling Breitling you get a good Breitling for five grand
06:00
that'll last you a long time if there if he's a navy air pilot type yeah a lot of options at that
06:07
price point though you're really shopping at that price point um actually there's like there's like
06:13
so many options at that price point that i see how one could have trouble choosing like every swiss
06:19
company that isn't Rolex makes a watch at that price and they all make you know three dial watches
06:24
we're like all like all they all make a different chronograph yeah everyone's got it everyone's
06:28
like what is he like yeah like every company has like their version of the royal x oyster
06:33
perpetual like the three-hander blah blah omega aquaterra blah blah blah same shit um christian
06:40
says could you do a video with dugs swapping each other's cars or a collab coontash video
06:46
we're going to we talked about this and then my car got taken apart so like when my car is back
06:53
together like we are they'd feel very different now they'd feel very different now well he also
06:57
wants to know he wants to see mine after the full bushings and everything is done and also
07:02
his is a carbureted car mine's an injected car no i would totally do a video a coontash video
07:08
with uh with dug it's just that my car's been in pieces for fucking years did you oh did you go
07:15
back to the photos of the red Mercedes did you see the coontash in the background yeah it got
07:19
we put it over in the other building because it's going yeah there it is we put it in the other
07:26
building because it's going to daemians like soon is it in any of the other photos i don't
07:31
think it may i don't think so the maze are front a front on photo did i get one no no oh oh there it
07:38
is it's back there um for the record for anyone looking at this i have to save the record these
07:48
photos are there are zero customer cars in those fucking photos those are not customer cars those
07:56
are my fucking staff's cars yeah well i see is this Vinny yes that's Vinny's daily driver yeah those
08:02
are their staff cars okay that's Phil's truck yeah and that fucking that that's silver that's a
08:08
Ferrari 550 that got picked up to it was literally there because it was getting picked up today
08:13
that's my new building that i haven't started renovating yet but because because me
08:20
fucking i want to sell the spaces and all my shit ends yeah goes in there uh i can't wait
08:26
to the new building or i it's so funny it's like the fisherman on the dock where i'm going to have
08:31
my own area i could have just had my own like seven years ago i could have bought a little tiny
08:36
building it had my own area instead i'm going to have this giant fucking thing a whole operation
08:40
just so i can have my own area finally it's crazy uh in a boxer to the left getting rid of my z4
08:48
m40 manual after it got into an accident somehow barely affected the value hell motherfucking yeah
08:55
cut and run i ordered a ranger raptor as i wanted something more practical and there aren't many
09:02
good roads in florida for driving but there are good trails any other vehicles you'd think of
09:07
for the money uh i need something respectable to pick up clients every once in a while i mean
09:14
dude ranger raptors are cool yeah um you're very comfortable yeah you're only like your
09:19
competition is like a trd pro you know or i guess maybe a defender um i i mean i don't know you how
09:30
your clients feel out there but i think a ranger raptor when you keep them clean is a totally nice
09:36
modern car inside and is respectable enough i mean if these are super high net worth people
09:42
i mean they might have one anyway for like a ranch truck yes i don't i don't know that's a
09:46
that's a weird question because a defender is fancier so but depends on the optics yeah you're
09:52
not a real estate agent so i mean and how often do you drive these folks around like how much are
09:56
you going to change your purchasing and what you want in a vehicle for something that's occasional
10:02
yeah i think i think there's nothing i think a ranger raptor is a very respectable vehicle
10:08
alternatively maybe you want to look at a land cruiser but i don't think a land cruiser is
10:12
interesting as a ranger raptor not as fun you can't get into an octa those are really expensive
10:20
is anyone else making a vehicle that is raptory passport trail not trail boss trail manager what
10:30
was it called sport trail sport uh noah says looking to buy a new brz ts but with price hikes
10:37
they're hitting 40 k is the upgrade worth it versus the limited at 37 i live in downtown
10:45
porchester shout out to porchester drive mostly for pleasure something else i should consider
10:50
man 40 k what do you i forget what you get with the ts i'm looking to remind me um something tells
10:57
me it was like i think it was like bram brambos and seats i mean brambos certainly
11:03
are a good upgrade that i would say is probably worthwhile um by the way i love fucking porchester
11:11
porchester is one of my favorite places in the world and if it's also the dui capital of the
11:17
universe because the bars close in greenwich at 2 p.m on one side of the river and they close at
11:22
4 p.m in porchester to the other side of the river so if you want to see a real fucking shit show
11:27
2 15 a.m in porchester is the place to be uh all right the ts you get uh this is from a
11:34
Subaru dealership you got sti tuned suspension i think it did have different dampers different
11:39
dampers we drove it a few years ago maybe it's changed but it had different like sacks front
11:43
dampers yeah four um and you get brambos and that's all that they list don't you get ps ps4s tires
11:53
as well um let's see well the limited comes with ps4s okay and the ts brambos mirrors
12:05
all right ultra suede seats for three grand i don't know honestly i mean brakes are good
12:12
brakes are good good brakes are good good brakes are good good damn good factory tuned good dampers
12:18
are good uh i mean honestly those those are two things you might want to upgrade later and it would
12:25
cost you more to upgrade them and you would also devalue the car by upgrading them versus getting
12:31
the highest performance one that the factory will sell you and leaving it alone i think money in money
12:39
out you only spend about a thousand dollars net on that i bet it holds value better than the other
12:49
one and i bet if you can stop yourself from messing with it and leave it stock versus
12:54
ending up modifying the other one you'd be in better shape i would if you can it sound like
12:58
you're buying it new uh go test drive both in your area because if the roads i don't know what the
13:03
roads are like some of the roads in new york are great some are garbage well no i mean look in
13:07
portchester like the city roads fucking blow and you're five minutes from the amazing Greenwich
13:12
back roads where the good suspension where my parents live and you're and and good suspension
13:17
matters um i'd rather in that part of the world or excuse me like in that part of the world i'd rather
13:23
have i want i want a car that rides well and i would edge it 75 25 towards handling because
13:34
there really are like proper corners there um is that a buick says no uh oh i i don't i'm i
13:43
don't have the answer there's a apparently an issue with a kia ev6 subwoofer being out of face
13:49
that sucks uh whatever this is factory wiring era in uh in subwoofer okay well i guess they just
13:57
have to rewire it reversing a few wires uh running to the meridian subwoofer fixes it uh all right
14:05
easy fix easy fix but are most people buying the ev6 like wanting to rewire their own stereo
14:12
i mean hopefully you just bring it to the dealership you bring it to the dealer and they do it okay
14:15
yeah yeah but that's that's funny that's a oopsie davie hey i'm i all fucking all fuck up should be
14:22
that insignificant right okay i currently own a sorry rick says i earned i own a 13 lexus gs350
14:31
esport f sport and a 2019 sl considering calling consolidating into one not boring sedan i drive
14:41
roughly 40 000 miles a year so reliability is the most important uh last week i mentioned that the
14:48
es350 f sport uh was a pretty not terrible and zack said forever ingrained in his mind uh that was
14:58
five years ago and you've driven other cars since what sets this car apart uh from the rest of the
15:05
pedestrian vehicles i mean yes it was five years ago and i couldn't tell you what they've changed
15:10
since then i have no idea uh neither do i i mean i all i could tell you was i drove it right after
15:17
we had the lexus ls at the time and i the old ls is a new one whatever they were selling then
15:23
gotcha i just want to make not the one we owned the one no no no the current ls from that and the es
15:31
it was shockingly similar to drive considering it was front wheel drive the ride and handling
15:37
were just as good as the ls it had more rear seat room because it didn't have a tunnel
15:42
it was front wheel drive based it didn't really matter that it was front or wheel drive based
15:47
because those cars aren't good at like pushing the limits anyway but i remember having good
15:51
steering good braking good ride and handling and just being a generally very pleasant thing to drive
15:57
around i i'm realizing that i liked the gs350 f sport the es i don't think i drove i think i
16:04
edited the video so the es is not sear to my mind the gs was gs was rad that was rad it was like
16:10
felt like a more reliable m5 um no the es isn't like mind-blowing but it is a good handling car
16:20
and it's the es like i'm doing unkillable sarah's mom has one it's a 2012 it feels brand new
16:27
like it's kept clean and it's a hybrid it it still works it gets good mileage it's still there is
16:32
not a rattle squeak or anything in that car so i think if you're doing 40 000 miles per year
16:37
i would want something that is very comfortable the seats are formed to me perfectly or very
16:43
adjustable very supportive and something that is just going to be as little maintenance as possible
16:48
so if you already have this guy already this person aren't yet rick you already have a gs350
16:52
you're pretty familiar with you know lexus interiors and stuff uh so i think the question is
16:57
would you mind if it was front wheel drive and probably is about the same size as the gs the es
17:02
uh they are they're as close as makes no difference do they make the gs anymore
17:08
it'll be i don't think they make the gs anymore dude i haven't seen that in a minute i mean seems
17:14
like a great thing to commute long distance in yeah um ammo spit on that thing uh i'm looking for
17:24
replacement for my m2 35 oh uh considering a 240 i3 of 40 i as well as a julia veloce veloce
17:35
which is the two liter one i've never driven one of those have you know only johnny had one or
17:42
drove i think he he owned one and he said he liked it a lot that's that's as much as i know
17:46
yeah i mean i think the the newer julias like the the ones for the last three years or four years
17:53
since about 2020 i think the quality's gone up yeah uh compared to the earlier ones so i don't know
18:02
you know if you like your 235 they know that that's a good option out es3s are our all ones i
18:10
always seem to recommend to people they're lovely same with like honestly q5s q5s are nice
18:16
i think we would need to know more about what you do with your car like an m2 35 can be a
18:21
nice small gt cruiser for someone or if you're 25 or 30 and into mods like you could be turning it
18:29
into a 600 horsepower canyon missile so that'll also determine i think the s3 is such a great
18:34
all-around vehicle that's that does so many things well uh timay says our 981 boxster and
18:41
cayman's the best used Porsche value people say they're slow but they're now more special
18:47
because they have an na flat six and it's essentially the same car as the 718 in terms of
18:52
interior and experience uh i mean those those things are two are both true i mean a base 981
19:00
boxster cayman like is pretty slow i mean it does sound good but it like that's a that's a pretty
19:05
slow car i i drove one as a press car like it was slow um but i'd rather have the slow six
19:12
cylinder than a than a base two liter turbo so you're not wrong um and they are somewhat similar
19:20
i mean pretty similar to the 718 especially if you're talking about like a gt4 you know versus
19:26
a gt4 spider no the spider is different the 718 spider is different but um but yeah they they
19:33
i don't know about becoming i mean they're they've been a good value for a few years now so
19:38
i mean i don't know percentage wise if a 997 is a better value than a box i don't i don't know
19:45
about that but like they've been a good value for a minute so are they still a good value absolutely
19:51
yeah and they will be for a while but like now that you know the the they're they're gonna be less
19:59
so for a little bit now that they've stopped making the six cylinder so uh or stopped making the the
20:04
718 so like uh for a minute for a little bit like really nice 98 ones are going to float
20:14
anyway buick less saber oh oh you look the saber tooth tiger
20:23
uh pick my turro okay okay uh i need a car for a few days for the grand teresmo world tour
20:35
i don't know what that is but okay is that for the racing series is that for the i guess i don't
20:39
know uh many options around the same price integra a spec no current gen s4 integra a spec
20:47
in current gen s4 the same price integra a spec is nice but it is so that's not a type s that's
20:53
i know i know i drove it 2022 z4 no 2022 m2 maybe meata rf no your luggage won't fit yep 718 boxster
21:07
possibly i would say i'm doing keys doing canyons he's driving the k1 circuit he's driving around
21:15
i would say m2 or boxster leaning towards boxster i agree especially if the weather is decent you
21:22
can put the top down and do that whole la thing and look at palm trees and stuff yeah i would go
21:27
for boxster depending on when you live or m2 is just a little quieter a little more comfortable
21:32
if it's just you i would go i would definitely go boxster you got your two trunks you got your
21:37
power top that's what i would do i i think there there's no better turro car than a 718 boxster period
21:44
because they're fucking like 120 bucks he's talking about that being the same price as a
21:49
fucking integra a spec a spec come on oh updated drae from houston
21:59
we got the tycon 4 back with this lazarus level rebuild from portia uh okay before the new battery
22:10
pack install full charge was 250 miles now it's 300 plus so his his old battery was shit and his new
22:19
battery is good it's the 2025 battery pack which is better so dude i i someone's gonna have to talk
22:26
me out of buying another tycon when this one's done because these things rule um okay uh tail of
22:35
the puff the magic dragon um i don't what is this i don't really want to talk about that
22:43
okay uh sorry it's a it's a p-cody question and it gets too much into what won or didn't win
22:50
the stigs lauch and cousin oh the audio was good from the pro show oh from willow spring show yes
22:57
pro drivers uh the show the live show we recorded at willow springs uh is up as this month's
23:03
october pro show yep glad the audio was good that's what happens when though they spend lots of
23:08
fucking money yeah the the folks that ran the av there were absolutely pros yeah uh rick in
23:13
tennessee i have 130 mile commute five days a week and the first and last 20 minutes are tight
23:21
twisty lane and a half wide bumpy country roads and the other part is interstate i want a new daily
23:27
i want an e46 330 manual but reliability and fuel mileage would be nice considering a newer
23:35
miata or an 86 bro 130 mile commuter really gotta get the fuck out of here and honestly the 86
23:44
again the only one i drove was a ts but on the highway out to spring mountain and back it is
23:48
loud 100 doing that five days a week i would be so over in six months the decibel level is like
23:54
79 db just cruising yeah okay i my mind says gti yeah this this is a gti commute that is a great
24:05
choice yeah especially for the money you're gonna spend 25 grand gti maybe you could get a used golf
24:12
r but uh if you're worried about reliability you could get a newer gti maybe with a warranty
24:17
it's also simpler that's a that's the choice for it for sure yeah that's that's where i'm at because
24:23
you want a good ride you want you want it to be pretty chill on the highway you want good efficiency
24:28
but it's also got to be pretty fun on those twisty bits yeah a civic uh sport no si would also be
24:37
pretty good that would yeah like 30 grand new yeah that's a great car mm-hmm good shifter and clutch
24:44
showy chestnut heavy breathing in hannah's bedroom because funny but uh that's great boy
24:50
you know a little too much about our bedroom uh in my town there's an old black retired gentleman
24:56
that rides around all day smoking cigars in a black 78 catty deville with the license plate fly og
25:03
love a man like that live in their life that's there's a guy like that in the in the canyons white
25:09
guy alpha gtv same story his whole car is a fucking ashtray it's awesome this is maybe want to add
25:17
a cigar car to the stable joey chestnut says what would be your ideal cigar car to roll slow
25:24
bump tunes and rip stogies all day thinking a 129 sl i'm yeah you're that i mean my Mercedes my free
25:32
Mercedes project will be it that's a good point top down yeah i was thinking like a 40s Cadillac
25:38
would be sweet oh that too big catty big big old Cadillac yeah a i would say a an old El Dorado
25:46
like converted to electric not that it makes a difference but like yeah or a like rolls corniche
25:55
yeah that would be dope that uh what's that Mercedes the guy ls swapped and he's got a gated
26:00
shifter what was the Jag 280 or a Jag will be nice too yeah Mercedes this goes to the car event
26:05
yeah slammed ls swapped yeah 280 280 and that thing's kind of cool but also the Jaguar XJ
26:12
Jaguar XJR like Mike Spinelli had that's a good cigar car yeah yeah well you what you have to
26:20
really start you need a car that has poor aerodynamics because poor aerodynamics means no
26:27
buffeting at the windows and with a cigar you don't want buffeting you want but you don't
26:32
the Delica no buffeting with the Delica fabulous cigar car yeah smells like Dodge Spirit there
26:40
we go that's a good one new patreon member welcome to the club uh question if either of you became
26:47
the president rump row what car would you want made into the beast the limo for you that's a good
26:55
one yeah the problem is it it can't be something like fun no because that's a way 9 000 pounds
27:01
and be indestructible and it has to be american oh that too yeah uh i mean honestly ranger after
27:11
because i have so i have fun with that but i think you need i don't want a trx because it's just
27:15
already inefficient and terrible and too loud oh it's about to say something like a lyric because
27:23
it's got torque and stuff but if there's an emp that goes off yeah whole car turns off um
27:32
h1 alpha just to be a dickhead but yeah with a good diesel coming swapping it
27:38
or i could be like well if i'm president it's gonna be nas car because we're turning left
27:45
but i would i would i would have a i would have a chevy volt stretched like 37 feet long
27:54
that's fun hey that's a good one that's a very that's a very diplomatic choice yeah i think
27:59
vision 2002 says um is there a second half of this yes okay uh back in the day my dad
28:06
bought a brand new s54 equipped z3 m roadster i'm considering finding one to his exact spec to
28:14
revisit the good old days the question is will i be disappointed a lot of folks knocking as a
28:19
performance car and i don't want to end up regretting just not getting a boxer cayman or newer z4 m
28:25
what is the crux of journalists issue with the car i mean here's the thing i think these cars are
28:33
fun as shit i i don't have a problem with them at all i don't know who has a problem with them and why
28:38
the knock is that it's an e30 chassis and that's a shitload of power in an e30 chassis
28:45
and it's not that refined but that's also what people say about them in a good in a complimentary
28:51
way sure and we we you've driven s54 swapped e30s and they're amazing so with the right setup
28:59
we have plenty of friends that rock modified e30s and they're great to drive yeah and and
29:06
i mean now that car is a classic that car is 25 years old it's a that's a classic car so
29:12
it doesn't matter if it's like not as like good objectively as other things like you you don't
29:18
want it because it had better steering or power than a boxer in 2001 you want it because it was
29:24
your dad's car so i'm not sure how you're gonna end up being disappointed i think you're like
29:32
because you are you're predisposed to like it but you all this person also has a gti or a head a
29:36
gti you had an e39 m5 a modded 2002 you are the right person to enjoy this thing you know i think
29:44
the other people that are comparing it to boxer came in etc they're looking at it as an isolated
29:50
car and that's the in a vacuum those might be better in some ways but you have this like
29:56
back catalog of nostalgia and i think you're really gonna like it yeah um if you don't like it
30:03
hue blow me just is pretty wait i have an answer real a fast one for thunderclubber falcon bird
30:08
i don't really have a good answer for that oem best oem stereo i've experienced under 50 grand is
30:12
ironically in the integra a spec the els stereo is absolutely incredible that's true integra
30:18
akira does have a uh oh i just got a text i will have a panamera turbo s e hybrid to drive to
30:26
the hilton head concourse great uh what is your if you don't like it hue blow me wants to know
30:32
what is your opinion of hue blow i was interested in one i went to youtube and i was bombarded with
30:38
watch influencer videos saying hue blow is trash yeah i hate the people that that's uh
30:44
that's the case um i mean so here's the thing i don't think hue blow is trash i think i think
30:53
their reputation uh in the 2010s was like kind of well earned because it was all sort of about
30:59
the outside and not on the inside but they were priced pretty high um and i don't personally
31:07
i don't love how their watches look they've never made a single watch where to me was like oh yeah i
31:15
gotta have that having said that i don't if someone is wearing one i'm absolutely not gonna
31:21
gonna judge them or and i don't think i don't think most real people would in person judge somebody
31:28
for wearing a hue blow even if they were the people making a fucking video saying that they
31:32
sucked they're not gonna fucking walk up to you in person and say that it's a good way to get hit
31:36
in the face yeah i mean i think i think they make they make fine movements i don't think their
31:40
investment grade watches they depreciate but they're but they're nice if you like them they're
31:45
they're not shit um yeah um last one live axle rose what scene do you want to see lampooned on the
31:56
ig account angeles death highway next i i don't i'm not gonna encourage ai slop i think i i just i
32:09
don't i wasn't personally offended by someone deciding to put that i say i have cats in there
32:15
or something but like i just i don't i don't want that to be the internet man i agree i don't i don't
32:26
want to i don't want to put my videos up there competing with ai trash i don't want to fucking
32:33
live in a world where this fucking or a boros of of ai feeding it's like you know where the value
32:41
of all artistic worth uh ever created is just funneled upwards directly to sam altman right i
32:48
just at that and the perfecting of those programs so that it's easier to make realistic looking videos
32:55
which then can be used yeah for totally nefarious yeah like the the world was totally fine without
33:01
that stuff and like we don't need it it doesn't it doesn't make the world a fucking better place
33:08
like it's it's just we're just moving towards an internet where just computers are talking at
33:15
computers without any people in the way like no lessons are learned from the terminator movies
33:20
at all i just went i'm gonna end here because because here's where i see this this going i was
33:27
just at a it's tech week in la and i was invited to a tech week cocktail mixer with hannah and for
33:34
the most part it was interesting and fun and i met some people and then i met a guy it was a name
33:41
i don't actually remember and i was like i asked him what he did drone boats what's that what is that
33:48
well imagine instead of one navy destroyer you have 1020 foot drone boats that are programmed
34:00
and controlled the way that those drone fucking fireworks displays are right say and i go so like
34:09
you'd have the carrier aircraft carrier and they would you know they would surround the carrier
34:14
like a like a force field almost and he was like yeah yeah you could do that he's like or you could
34:20
decide to shut down a river or a canal and just you'd send us the swarm should i go
34:27
how many how many is a swarm he's like a thousand to fifteen hundred and i was like uh-huh and he
34:35
goes and you know how many operators you need for that humans and i was like how many and he goes
34:41
to from anywhere and i was like oh good good god i can't wait for this to be our our world
34:53
and so yeah so this is i mean this is where it's all this is where it goes you know where yeah
34:59
these billionaires computers fight these billionaires computers and anyone that isn't a fucking
35:05
billionaire or defense contractor just what like gets blown up well i think i mean yes and
35:11
my concern uh on top of that is if you remove the human element from armed conflict like
35:19
on the on the plus side and the way will be sold it well now there's no more human life we're not
35:23
sending our soldiers into battle etc etc it's like right but then you are then the citizens are
35:30
untethered from the actions of the administration or the do w do d and then we go well no one's
35:36
getting hurt so i guess this is the right thing to do and then they're just doing things with more
35:40
impunity or more in the dark it's why uh that book i read uh rutger bregman humankind it's about like
35:47
how uh in during world war two like opposing armies would like pretend opposing like regiments
35:55
would like meet up and like secretly pretend to fight because they didn't want to kill each other
36:00
really yeah yeah they yeah like they the they'd order them to kill each other but they're all
36:06
fucking just kids right you know and they'd they'd meet up in the middle okay like listen
36:10
we have to shoot at you but like we're going to shoot over your heads okay so when we shoot over
36:14
your heads you know you then you shoot over our and you know and we like will like pretend to
36:19
fight but like we really won't wow like that happened a bunch wow like the people don't like
36:25
always you know want to kill they're they're propagandized into that yeah but yeah if you
36:31
eliminate that that potential area of resistance where i have to convince regular people to do
36:39
terrible things and i can just do them right i mean this this form thing and this is me like
36:44
tinfoil hat stuff but if protests get louder or more volumous and i said i'm gonna say this
36:51
remaining peaceful but if people any in any country are frustrated and they're just walking
36:55
peacefully we have seen the response tends to be more aggressive and if you can have a swarm
37:01
fly over them and drop pepper balls or whatever then again the humanity is removed from that you
37:06
don't have police officers having to choose to interact with these protesters and make those
37:10
decisions against their citizens you can have someone in an office who's more of a shithead
37:16
yeah sociopath and they can do so much more by the way you've just described the first five
37:20
minutes of the movie The Running Man with Arnold Schwarzenegger where he refuses to fire on a
37:26
crowd of protesters as a military helicopter pilot refuses to fire on the protesters fights the other
37:34
people in the helicopter they subdue him they fire on the protesters anyway and they edit
37:40
together a video framing him saying i'm gonna like kill all these protesters and they put him in jail
37:49
and then to get out of jail he goes on the game show The Running Man that's like literally the
37:54
first fucking dude everybody that is running things now has learned all the wrong lessons
38:02
from all the fucking 80s and 90s movies they've just gone like wouldn't this be cool instead of
38:08
like actually having any kind of fucking moral clarity about these films i mean it's funny because
38:12
when you watch movies like that there's a movie with Ray Liotta called like the castle but basically
38:16
like there's always a group you know that there's the castle and there's the one on the island
38:20
right that's where i was thinking about oh god damn it no escape no escape no escape that kind of
38:25
sense so we we watch those movies and we see ourselves as the people who are imprisoned and can
38:30
fight back it's it's g.i. joe it's good versus evil whatever there's definitely some people that
38:35
watch those movies and go i would have built that fence way stronger like here's what i would have
38:38
done you know people watch Hunger Games and they see themselves as the people on top not you know
38:43
the yeah what's her name Jennifer Lawrence Katniss Katniss you know i've never seen the
38:49
Hunger Games and i know that really yep they're good i know i know i mean they were more fun to
38:54
watch a few years probably right yeah now they hit a little too yeah yeah except for like watch kids
38:59
no i mean all you have to do is look at one photo of Stephen Miller and go that's not a guy who
39:03
learns lessons from movies yeah did you if you really want to be depressed the some more news
39:09
about Stephen Miller that was out last week is an hour and 17 minutes long and holy motherfucking
39:16
shit he's trying to sell his very expensive house right now yikes yeah yeah because his neighbors
39:21
don't like wisely have made it very uncomfortable for him to exist in public as they fucking should
39:27
mm-hmm you shouldn't get to be a fascist and have people be nice to you did you see the clip i'm
39:32
sure you did of him on cnn and he says out loud like the president should have totally untethered
39:37
authority what's the word the word is a pair pair the word is um um such as the p
39:44
yeah and then he and he catches himself going i shouldn't say that in public yep um yeah some
39:50
it's a it's a word i'd never actually heard before and had to look up right plenary authority
39:58
yeah and then he just stops talking and he just freezes and stares at the screen and like would you
40:03
would you say hello do you hear us what and he just he doesn't blink no it's a real i fucked up free
40:10
and you're in the headlight maybe he's controlled by grok and he's actually a cyborg and and elon's
40:14
back they're going oh he messed up the programming again shit don't use the word plenary yeah look up
40:20
the word plenary now i mean obviously i forgot what the word meant i forgot the word two weeks
40:25
later but yeah what it means is he thinks the president can do anything anything that's what
40:32
that means it's fucking fascism um refer the definition is refers to power that is complete
40:39
comprehensive and not subject to any significant limitations so that's what the president's advisor
40:44
is saying to cameras on accident that he thinks the president has that cool king shit you guys
40:52
i fucking love it sunny day in california let's get fucking to it um that's our show guys sorry to
