Jonny Lieberman then goes deep on the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance: 831hp, 1021 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 in 2.4 seconds, and a whole 1 mile of electric range. They debate whether it looks good. The verdict is complicated.\n\n\n\nThe hosts also weigh in on LA's incoming 125 speed cameras, Nantucket's surprisingly drug-heavy wastewater, and a product called the \"D**k Laser\" that somehow gets a full design consultation.\n\n\n\nThe main event: Agent Sebastian from Cart Narcs sits down to explain how a simple question about shopping cart laziness turned into a viral empire. They review clips of people threatening lawsuits, dropping racial slurs from an Audi R8, and one guy in Texas going full unhinged over a cart. Spoiler: one of them works for Jimmy Kimmel. Plus, Spike is deputized as a Cart Narc and heads to Costco to accost the lazybones of L.A.\n\n_____________________________________________\n\n\n\n📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media:\n\ncontact@neontiger.media\n\n🌐 or visit:\n\nhttps://scrpod.com/sponsor\n\n\n\nProduced by \n\nSkyview Entertainment\n\n&\n\nQ6 Media\n\nhttps://q6.media\n\n______________________________________________\n\n\n\nTimestamps:\n\n00:00 - 2026 Subaru Uncharted EV review\n\n10:10 - Lasers\n\n17:16 - 2026 Mercedes AMG GT 63 S E Performance review\n\n22:09 - 2026 Ineos Grenadier\n\n31:42 - Traffic cameras\n\n40:44 - Introducing the Cart Narc\n\n42:10 - How Cart Narcs started\n\n46:48 - Getting into fights\n\n49:31 - Reacting to Cart Narcs videos\n\n1:03:20 - Spike goes out on patrol\nLearn more about your ad choices.
