hello and welcome to this car pod I'm
Ken I'm fipo and let's just get into it
because there's a lot to talk about
starting with Jag yes so in our last
podcast we talked about the new Jaguar
that hadn't come out yet they've
revealed the concept and here it is the
type 0000 finished in Miami pink London
blue and they do a third version in
Parisian gold that blue the least
londony blue of everything I know also
yeah yeah London gray is the color that
comes to mind when I think of London but
you know what do we think what do we
think I kind of like it to be honest
with you I I don't hate it but I don't
love it and it's also a concept and it
won't look like this when it goes in
production so who cares this is
meaningless I think it's cool as hell
however the thing I've learned about
concept cars is when they debut they
look like that and when they go into
production they look like the Acura
TLX concept cards this feel less like a
concept card more like a design study
yeah and it looks cool if this came out
it would be so cool but these are 78
inch wheels they'll never see production
they're too big they automakers won't do
wheels on tires like that no mirrors no
mirrors I mean that I don't know about
be legal I don't see reflectors I I just
it would be cool as hell if they
actually had the gravitas to make this
car and they're going to make a version
of it and it's going to be so watered
down that we're not even going to
remember this concept it also what's
fascinating to me in Harry mcha did a
great video talking about this but like
it's an EV right so there's no engine up
here massive Hood well but but that's
what a a cool car looks like a big long
like those old V16 Cadillacs you know
are they going all EV was that announced
like for it was assumed but like is is
something they've said well I think they
said it but a lot of automakers have
walked that back so I don't know how
Jaguar is feeling about it right now
this would be cool the V8 yeah it would
V would be cool period they said copy
nothing wasn't that their big thing that
was all original it looks a little like
a Rolls rice R to me from that side
profile I'll take it but it's but it's
like a widebody wraith this is a cool
looking car if this came out and existed
it would be cool it will not come out
and exist when it comes out it's going
to have 14inch wheels hubcaps and you
know can't it'll have some sort of
British Market tax credit stuff on it I
if these kind of like RS6 ofon I mean
the things that are interesting to me
like I really wish they made more use of
the cat I the cat is one of the panel
open in other I've seen other photos of
that panel open I think so not not
totally sure the point is it does none
of it matters it's a concept car and
it's never going to see the light of day
however it is cool Jag is back now I
want to say one other thing about Jack I
had that take about the Jag ad and I was
surprised even Instagram commenters kind
of the lowest level of commenter even
they agreed with me most ofly they were
like you know what he's right like they
haven't done anything in years so let's
here let's this is something but a lot
of them were still like when you go woke
you go broke my rebuttal to that is they
broke they were already
broke you know that was the thing it
came from that Bud Light thing where
they did the transgender ad and then Bud
Light lost all that money and they they
went w and they went broke
Jaguar is as broke as it gets like
there's people were like Jaguar's going
to learn when you go woke you go broke
like they already learn they're broke
already this is it this is just a a weak
attempt to do something completely
different I think just the question
becomes like when you're hard pivoting a
brand this hard pivot which is there's
nothing that says Jaguar yeah there at
all I do see four rings in the grill
that seem audias to me for some reason
well the huge Grill also yeah but
I you're not actually re like you're
launching a new brand fundamentally
yeah why because the old they had to do
the old one was tired
we're that's the thing about Jag they
don't give up they don't anymore it's
just it's that's not the British way
we'll fight them on the
beach okay
they don't give up the point is uh I
think we all agree it's a cool car it's
never going to see production I'm more
interested in what they actually are
able to do not what they say so far
we've been getting a lot of talk from
jaguar and I respect Harry greatly but
let's get some reality let find out what
the T group will accomplish remember the
Ford gt90 remember the Cadillac CN our
favorite topic on this podcast love the
CN meanwhile they came out with the with
the
ca true but if this is the direction
they go styling wise I would be happy
with it I would love it if they would do
something racing with it would be very
cool imagine that as a race car a big
wig on that would be too connected to
their Heritage yeah right but maybe they
but racing is always cool so I but I
don't know it but nonetheless it's here
that's what it looks like those are the
colors speaking of cars that are not
doing well our next news actually the
whole News segment the whole car Nissan
this is a great image of Nissan's lineup
in some Market the leaf the J the kashai
the Arya and the town star which I never
heard do we think this is I don't know
but the picture looks like it was taken
here sou California uh Nissan announced
actually Nissan didn't announce but some
Nissan executive in Japan announced that
they're a year away from running out of
money I'm astonished it's a year 12 to
14 months they've been losing money my
but they sell cars like it's it's hard
to fully run out of money you can't it
doesn't count selling cars profitless to
rental car fleets does not count it
doesn't those those are sales to keep
the factories going they haven't
developed a new the ARA came out a
couple years ago and there's a new uh
Morano coming out and a new Armada
great they haven't like investing that
much money how can they be losing that I
am surpris that's a good point I am
surprised by that the investment has
been minimal the cars are not good in
having been for years the new Pathfinder
is fine the problem is they the new QX80
Infinity thing and Armada fine they have
just soled their reputation so greatly
for so many years building so much trash
cars going after the lowest common
denominator of buyer and Kell supr to
quote kenon that's not a strategy that
works the thing is like it's it's really
easy to see how Jack
runs out of money you don't see a drag
around you see Nissan everywhere you see
a rogue every 3 minutes but it's all low
and and the casy is very popular in
Europe as is the Juke which doesn't
exist here anymore like they do well so
it's really a testament to their
mismanagement that they're running out
of money because they sell cars they
have these giant stakes and other the
Mitsubishi they but to be honest though
and they're they're heavily dependent on
the US market and and the Japanese
Market to like bring them y but um
Toyota Honda AR in this position they
went after Quality Nissan went after
like short-term sales numbers and gains
and I just find Nissan every time I
think about Nissan I find it to be such
like a such a depressing did everything
go downhill when their CEO um left the
country in the trumbone case no I think
but I think things started to go
downhill when they arrested him was
wasn't a good moment for the which may
or may not have been politically
motivated he asserts that it was
regardless it was a company in turmoil
yeah there's no question and when I was
a kid Nissan was such an innovator I
remember in 03 Nissan was on top of
their game the The Infinity lineup was
in fantastic shape they had just come
out with that Ultima that the company
that Maxima and the quest was weird but
it was like Nissan was the talk of
everybody at the time and the Titan was
just coming out which had all this
promise it has been canceled I assume
along with the big van um the nv200 no
the NV 2500 and 3500 right it's just
it's just a company that has just never
it hasn't innovated in years the cars
are not particularly exciting or or they
they sell only to people who don't have
the credit or the ability to afford
better cars
yeah flid of car companies hard the the
the the I will say this was all very
rumor driven but like it felt like
pretty strategic leaks there were like
two leaks it's but it felt kind of Del
it wasn't a leak the guy openly said
we're we're running out of cash this is
in a press conference in Asia talking
about Factory lines and that they have
too many of them which is probably true
I I don't know I just it it's it isn't
all that surprising to me you wonder if
the Auto industry starts to pair down
some of the some of the Dinosaurs and
starts to add some like xiaomi starts to
add some of newbies who are like ready
to do the Innovative thing Tesla shows
up they kill it because they have this
Innovative product and the old guys who
are not cool were starting to see some
decline it also hasn't impacted the us
as much but there's been a lot of
consolidation PSA group so P Citroen and
some DS I don't know whatever the other
are all part now of FCA yep or santis
rather uh obviously there's no more
Dodge really except for the charger
there really no chryler products like
opal is part of santis as well but not
Vox Hall there was some weird split that
happened regardless like there's been a
lot of consolidation it would not be a
huge surprise if Nissan takes investment
from another OEM which was a talk that
talk was that they were trying to get
Honda to invest uh and there's some
further consolidation it's kind of
inevitable yeah comp it's an interesting
thing that's kind of happened and I I do
find it I will say I do find it a little
bit disheartening that that Nissan kind
of comes out is like we can't believe
we're in this position and I'm sitting
here like I can believe it I had ideas
for you 15 years ago I Can Believe It's
Not Butter I mean they went hard on
sedans when no one was doing sedans they
went hard on cheap cars that low quality
um they really did not build out a good
SUV product in the states you're right
the Rogue sells but at a low price point
Pathfinders don't sell that that name
was Sully and that's the hottest Market
that's the hottest Market it's their
only entring into that market whereas
Toyota has 37 right um it's just it's
it's a disappointing situation it's a
disappointing brand I'm not surprised to
see them in this situation no uh and I
can't believe they're still trying to
make it inity know how why invest money
in that just just be done call it a day

death of the car industry we have
another and speaking of somebody that
was formerly at Nissan Carlos tarez tell
us the he has resigned effective
immediately earlier this week from being
the CEO of stellantis stellantis which
is another declin how many stantis
Brands can you name Ken well let's see
so it's Jeep
Fiat um I'm going off of memory here so
we'll see I mean I really don't know uh
basic as Dodge Ram well done separating
Ram correct yes um chryler does still
exist for the record do they still ex I
assume they were dead but then don't
forget about pjo opal okay
uh launch at that point Ferrari Maserati
Ferrari spun off yeah spun off did not
yeah uh a lot of your last time I got a
last time I got in an sf90 and saw the
same infotainment screen from a d
Wrangler no I'm kidding that's not true
back of steing all same buttons there
was a time though there was a time he he
he was supposed to retire at the in 2026
2025 was supposed to be his last hasn't
been a good year Attis and the the
Carlos staris came the the last few
years he's been incredibly popular and
he was very much lotted as the the CEO
because stantis had great profits during
Co probably because they had a lot of
inventory they needed to sell uh so they
had great profits because the only
inventory they had in the US was high
priced high margin trucks SUVs wanted
especially then yeah cuz they've been in
production for 20 20 years and then only
the nice ones were selling so so profits
were great and now then it turns out
wait actually now that other manufa can
build Vehicles nobody wants hug bubble
they did and it ain't looking pretty now
no so I was think and dealers are pissed
have been pissed I was thinking about
this yesterday because I went to a
Chrysler product launch a stellantis
product launch stellantis vehicles are
piled up at dealers and their quality is
poor Ford just has the poor
[Laughter]
quality we're really making sure that
every OEM loves us on this podcast no I
mean listen the truth of the matter is
stellantis since I was a kid Chrysler
has Stak their entire existence on the
success of like one or two vehicles in
their product portfolio they've never
had the Deep bench that the Toyotas and
the Fords and The Hondas have had and
this this most recent time was charger
Challenger yep and Jeep and Jeep the the
Cryer 300 came out in 08 well right but
the charger Challenger in the period
you're talking about the co period was
the big hit that was the car that
selling in and honestly every Jeep well
Jeep both all of that has completely
changed charger Challenger they gave up
on which I still think was kind of a
mistake they wanted they took this
electric strategy which obviously is not
going to pan out they're walking that
back jeep has become a bit of a problem
and they have this big reputational
issue where No One Believes the cars
will run I when I bought my seoa
remember I like really wanted a Grand
Cherokee and in the end was like I just
can't take the risk and I think a lot of
people feel that way do you know how
cheap Wrangler 4 by Lisas are how cheap
low 300s for wellspect Willis Edition
which I think is like that still seems
high I it's it's a $60,000 truck wow
what's the down
zero I from what I've seen online people
have have gotone deals in that range wow
and if you go to any Jeep website their
adverti dealer website they're
advertising some I will say one of the
things that I have noticed with a lot of
these automakers Nissan included is that
there was a pivot to Electric that a lot
of money went to and that the automakers
are now anxious will happen we got Trump
as president now electric incentives are
going to change the demand for EVS has
not been as strong as the Auto industry
thought that it would be even with even
without the incentives let alone with if
the incentives go away that's going to
change everything especially in the US
um these automakers are all kind of
Toyota's in a good place they never they
never put any money into EVS in the
first place yeah fair and also like San
obviously has a huge European presence
all their most of their brands but a lot
of EV wasn't isn't DS is not an electric
only brand but a lot of the cars are
there's a lot of electric which do sell
but volume is just not the same Europe
as a continent of countries has way less
volume than is in China which has its
own burgeoning IND there is no real
these traditional manufacturers still
the Chinese government has really been
protectionist about making sure that
Chinese automakers take the take the
front runner role in China and it's
worked and those cars are not only ahead
of American and and general Legacy
brands in terms of Technology but
they're way ahead in sales in what is
going to quickly become if not as
already the most important car market in
the world now I will say I was at a
Mercedes-Benz dealership last week cars
piled up there inventory I was at a
Porsche dealership for my care GT recall
I was asking about sales they said MC
V's coming in are not sold inbound mccan
vs this car I've only seen two on the
road this is a brand new car not sold
brand new Porsche no the brand new
Porsche the EV demand is simply not
there a lot of these mercedes-benzes
that are piling up sitting around eqb is
just sitting free these cars are free I
mean look I know but it's QB I
know I agree with you but my point is
they invested money in the electric
pivot it is not working and there's
going to be a come to Jesus situation in
the automotive industry there already is
for a lot of these Brands not Toyota
again the Toyota dealers still have low
days Supply and their moving stuff I
will say the other component here and
then we can move on to a topic Ken cares
about uh a lot of these manufacturers
and salant is especially guilty of this
bet pretty big on developing markets
South and Central America parts of
Africa that have not had demand
Skyrocket to the extent that I think
they thought did it 10 years ago when
they interesting rolled out this product
like fiat's only new products are in
South and Central American markets and
they're not doing great there either
yeah that brand only really exists in
like Latin America and we see them from
Mexico it's even jeep jeep has all these
products that are not available in the
US which is so surprising because it's
they have one the Avenger no they have
several you go to Europe there's there's
everywhere there's all
renade electric renade hybrid I want a
renegade hybrid they offer me one last
time I R A Car in Italy I would pay the
what I would believe would be the
competitive lease price on that tour
which is $19.99 you would pay more than
I would yeah so all that to say Carl
savaris left to seeo there was some
rumor by the way that he had a $100
million severance package damn santis
had a press release today that said no
that is not true this was overly
inflated uh which means it's probably
757 milon 100 million I wouldn't I
wouldn't I'd be like all right he was
planning on retiring anyway so this
seems like a good outcome for him uh
John elen Ken Faber man is partially in
charge of sanes while they hire in UCO I
don't know man which they claim will
happen by the way by the end of Q2
stantis is funny they got good products
but it is going to be a tough road ESP
all the the Grand Cherokee is a great
product the ram is great prodct the
Wrangler is a good product all these
cars good product implies that it's a
car that will also be Dependable they
are over produced they have a poor
reputation for quality and they went too
hard on electric and so this is the
situation would love to have a Wrangler
or gr Cherokee 4 by by the way I've
thought about how I make it work so get
one they're cheap they're not cheap
enough yet the second never cheap enough
for Philly okay let's talk about the
most important news story brunai folks I
want to talk about brunai and I want to
just really get into brunai and I think
we should really let well sadly it's
hard to get into brunai I know well you
can go there you you can go there it's
quite a tourist destination you can't
see the collection uh I can't I can't
tell you people how much time I spent on
this I'm going to tell you the basic
story and then Ken's going to take it
the brunai the salt NE brunai actually
his brother Prince Jeffrey he spent
reportedly in according to court
documents filed years ago about various
things he spent reportedly 14
billion misspent 14 billion do over a
period of a decade or so in the 90s and
I read an Atlantic article about Prince
Jeffrey and it referred to him as the
individual the living individual who has
spent the most money of any person in
existence we calculated he bought 7,000
cars for the
and we that during the period where he
Wasing money he was buying three cars on
average every single day people like I
can't believe he never drove them of
course he never drove them how how do
you buy that many car time the whole the
whole nation wouldn't have any time to
drive those car he didn't go to a dealer
and bought them these were all mostly
quite special he went to the the 7,000 I
would say 6 6600 of the 7,000 6,500 are
not special cars that were primarily
Mercedes and Rolls-Royce and Bentley
that were purchased directly but not
through a dealer but like directly and
they were just cars they were making you
know there was a rumor that in 9697 and
98 he bought a third of all new rolls
and Bentley's and single-handedly
propped up Rolls-Royce and Bentley as a
company until he stopped buying cars
they found out the $14 billion
embezzlement he stopped buying cars and
immediately after that Rolls-Royce and
Bentley
fail and had to be bought by other
companies but anyway so what happened
this week was last week there was a leak
of brunai pictures uh from Taken back in
2001 purportedly by either Michael shean
or someone like that and there's like
this upro these are stolen photos I
can't believe these got out oh I can't
believe that like all these brunai
Instagram accounts are like are like so
Pearl clutchy that's hilarious but
they're out the pictures are there those
of us who want to see the pictures love
it and the cool thing is brunai had had
what they really did and what was the
really special thing the 500 really
special cars was they commissioned yeah
Bentley Rolls-Royce Aston Martin for
ferari Bugatti Jaguar to build oneoff
individual cars just for themselves that
were not sold or available to anybody
else and it's an unbelievable thing and
we see these pictures now of these cars
and I will say a lot of the cars
pictured had been there are other photos
of them around right some pictures did
get out but I mean it was so few and we
all knew what they were I don't think
there's a single car that was
photographed in here that I didn't know
about but it's amazing to see them all
the the multic Cutler EB 110 was a
surprise yes yes that was and also you
know what else is a surprise we didn't
talk about there is a 456 in a 550 that
were made uh with night vision did you
see this they have an enormous amount of
night vision stuff in the trunk and
there are cameras in the interior and
they were meant to drive like 200 mil
hour in the middle of the night remember
night vision crazy so anyway this is a
Bentley Buccaneer or something like that
there's all these cars that never
existed they Aston Martins that Aston
over there I thinks really cool um and
it's amazing to see these pictures right
there's a great Instagram account I
think it's called yes but the one that
like pushed them all was two like brunai
probably 2001 something like that it is
it like it is hours of scrolling through
and being like wow I've never I never
would have thought it the the brunai
government reportedly so there's some
interesting things about this these
pictures are all taken in 2001 a lot of
the cars are moldy a lot of the cars are
in rough shape right 23 years ago they
were in rough shape so a couple of the
brunai Instagram accounts have been
saying the cars are being maintained
well now you you're talking about which
is interesting um some of them have
gotten very angry like people are saying
the cars aren't being maintained well
you don't know anything and it's like
well then tell us I don't know of course
we're saying that 20 years ago they look
like they weren't being maintained and
we haven't heard anything since you've
been to brune apparently some of those
guys have some access to some people but
we know the McLarens have gone back
we've seen pictures at airports of the
McLaren f1s that have gone back to the
UK for refurbishment and then come back
to Bruno so the owners and their
families are still maintaining this
Fleet in some way the the big thing that
I think every car Enthusiast on the
planet wishes they would do is open up a
museum and let people get access and see
these cars however the ruling royal
family of brunai currently uh is still
the same family who bought the cars and
I think that they are embarrassed I
think that they're embarrassed by this
massive display of wealth this
ridiculous spend and they don't want it
to get out to their to their population
local population brunai there just like
open windows I kind of Imagine people
walk down the street and see the so you
should see where they are I got deep
into this I know exactly where they are
on satellite you can't get to them it's
it's in a presidential separate reserved
area that like normal people can't
access um I have it on Authority that
the family just doesn't know what to do
they don't know if to do it as like to
display them as a museum they don't know
if they should sell them they don't I
will tell you this brunai which is an
oil Rich Nation uh and that's how they
got all this money in the first place
they have been really trying to push
tourism lately drawback of tourism in
brunai is it's also a heavily Muslim
country there's no nightlife there's no
alcohol
Etc if they open up these to to a museum
we'd have PL I'd be there in two seconds
I would tour brunai I'll dump the money
into their economy I'm happy I think it
would be five days of just going there
to see the cars there's I also
researched brunai pretty extensively
there's
like the car ownership is like the
second highest of any nation in the
world there it's not a very large Nation
no it's very there are roads that are
good roads but like there's like a
highway and when the highway opened in
2002 it was news it's a very very very
very very small country and um but
they've got all this money and I I just
would give I just would give anything to
jump in there and see the damn cars you
know they got six McLaren f1s I know
they and they three of the five LMS
including the one that's not orange they
got a longtail they got an orange one
they got a non- orange one GT yeah I
mean they have yeah they have well they
have
those cars in them in and of themselves
that's $150 million in cars right there
and I be honest the oneoff Ferraris I
think those are five plus million cars I
think of Ferrari Venice sells for 5
million to 7 million it's a oneoff right
I think a 456 sedan sells for that I
think a Bentley Buccaneer doesn't sell
for that but gets probably 600 700 Grand
the drawback of the cars is they're all
right-hand Drive yeah what do you think
the right hand4 with the leather
interior goes for that's thing they got
f40s 28 GT 28 evos I it it's got to be
even today it's got to be a billion
dollars in cars I'm not I'm not
exaggerated incredibly moldy who knows
if you are part of the Sultan's family
and you want to have Doug come visit you
I he would murder Kennan to do so I
would give anything I would say that the
one thing if I could do anything in the
world to do would be to go to berai and
see the cars I agree especially because
this this hits for me this was my ERA
this the era exactly I totally agree
late '90s weird stuff it would have been
amazing if they had had money in the mid
2000s that would have been really cool
but I'll take Bentley Buccaneers Bentley
dominators Bentley Javas yep Ferrari
Mythos I'll I'll take them all Adit
those you know the other thing the
Ferrari FX that they have yes that was
based on I think the tester Rosa it was
like a modern really cool looking car in
my opinion they they it had a trans an
auto like sequential manual automatic
that was developed by Cosworth and never
finished and it just doesn't work and
the Marone museum has one of them too
which is like in Orange County and they
were they told me I could come review it
but the car doesn't drive and I never
has driven like the car just it doesn't
how Italian is that they they ship to
brunai before they had finished working
on it he's done he's perfect don't drive
just just let it sit there which to be
fair the perfect place cuz none of these
cars have been driven so like you see
the f90 go look up take a pull up a
picture of the F9 then we'll move on for
brunai can f doesn't care about brunai I
think about brunai every single day just
I fully believe that that's true you
don't need to Salt in the brunai out
there thought that would be helpful yeah
f90 wow is this fipo click on this one
click on this one is this the ugliest
car oh no click on that one that's in
the garages is this the ugliest car
you've ever seen no but it's up there
it's up there yeah letosa yeah the
tester Roa Wheels really sent I'm
showing my ignorance here but I didn't
realize that each of these cars was
named by their manufacturer yeah now pin
and finina did a lot of them to be clear
what the sultan would do is I think they
they contacted the sultan Jeffrey they
contacted pin and Farina through the
Ferrari dealer in U apparently in
Singapore and pin and Farina was really
responsible for doing a lot of this
stuff but it happened with Ferrari's
blessing the cars are badged as Ferraris
generally um and yes they're all named
even cars that never existed ferari was
struggling as a company at that point no
wonder they blessed us they just needed
the money too and finina everybody
needed money I mean this was a big deal
this was a really really big deal they
these companies were totally willing now
it's worth pointing out that the sultan
and the and the family there still gets
crazy cars they still are buying hyper
cars they they are um supposedly they
they still they bought a uh LaFerrari
Etc but not at the level obvious
not like this you know the thing I think
that's so interesting about this story
is like if if you or I were rich and I
mean like Rich really rich like could
embezzle 14 billion doll before the
country found out about it rich we would
commission automakers to build Us cars
yeah and they did yes but for me that'd
be so much more simple 812 with a
six-speed manual like there would be it
would be stuff you you say that but if
you were buying three cars a day I think
day 28 you'd buy that day 478 you'd be
like but can you make it
do you he like I think that's what
happened here I think they did try to do
the stuff you were talking about like to
give us night vision cuz we like to
drive fast at night and then that turned
into can you make one with a swept back
but like where were they driving the
country is 20 mil wide yeah but there
were a couple of posts on the on the
brunai Instagram and there are a couple
people who reply and were like I was in
brunai in the 90s I remember seeing this
car on the road there was a guy who said
that about the X-ray 220c which is a
really cool looking car he was like this
was clearly one of their favorites
because I remember in brunai in the 9s
watch seeing this car drive around and
it's like oh imagine I know imagine it
in Period the dream but this is easily
one of this is maybe the coolest thing
that happened automotiv speaking this
year because it has been just shrouded
in mystery for two decades yeah Legend
and now again none of these cars I think
that were photographed have not been
photog like you you pulled up the f90
there were pictures that's true of
almost all these but it was interesting
to see the state the state they were in
and it was to see just them all and even
more it was a picture of a car it was
the cars around it that you're like oh
my God you see a picture of a car and
then next to it's an F50 and then
another F50 and then multicolor e-10 yep
and then and then a Venice and yeah all
that stuff pull up the multicolor eb10
then we'll move on yeah the E that is
one type eb10 brunai I bet it'll be the
one that comes up although they had
several and by the way brunai convinced
here's one of my favorite things about
it there it is there's the multicolor
eb10 look at that interior look at the
wheels oh it's just like one of the one
of my favorite things about the E10 in
general brunai convinced all these
companies to build them right-hand Drive
versions of all these cars except
Bugatti they're all all the E1 are left
hand drive Bugatti's like yeah we can't
do that we'll give you any money you
want no no no we literally can't do it
no matter how much money you have
sorry and needless to say bugatti went
out of business soon after the Italian
Bugatti okay I have to tell you about
this gamechanging product it's called
pre- alcohol that's right pre- alcohol
although Doug Millie likes a glass of
cold water I like an oldfashioned when
we're out to dinner on Friday night with
our friends but as car enthusiasts one
of our favorite activities is to wake up
at the crack of dawn on the weekend and
go hang out with our car friends at Cars
and Coffee this often means that
drinking the night before isn't really
on the table we as car enthusiasts have
to choose between a fun night out or a
fun morning with cars and friends this
product is a GameChanger to allow for
both zbiotics pre- alcohol probiotic
drink is the world's first genetically
engineered probiotic it was invented by
PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings
after drinking when you drink alcohol
gets converted into a toxic byproduct in
the gut it's this byproduct not
dehydration that's to blame for your
rough next day pre- alcohol produces an
enzyme to break down this byproduct just
remember to take pre- alcohol as your
first drink of the night drink
responsibly and you'll feel your best
tomorrow I enjoy zbiotics as my first
drink on Friday night before dinner and

segment where we talk about cars felipo
talk about cars with us yeah we have a
goldplated cybertruck that's live right
now what's the deal with that it we did
some car spying in it we did uh it's
very cool it is actual gold plating it's
not the the St steel was gold plated and
then ppf over want to shout it out it's
being auctioned for charity all the the
full amount the the high bid it's no
Reserve we go to charity as will our
buyers fee and uh if it's very cool
Jerry rig it's going to go to Jerry rig
everything's uh charity which is focused
on on his wheelchair creation project uh
but this car was also originally owned
by MKBHD for his Channel or at least
used by MKBHD for his channel stradman
has reviewed it Jerry rig everything has
reviewed it uh and I'm told because this
is being sold by Ridge wallets that if
you win you might get some some wallets
out of it o Kenan some wallets for you
yeah uh okay cyber truck it's cool you
want your cyber truck to be even more
noticeable but like we drove it around
people were freaking out and in like a
cool way if it's a WAP you know it's a
WAP right yeah I would tell people this
is gold this this is actual and there is
something like 20 of gold like it it
there's real gold value in it this is
real gold D you got any real real gold
on You K of course on you yes oh God
okay our next talk cars topic kenon so
we happen to have cars that we went and
viwed in the desert and they have be
sitting here at the office and so and I
have drove the M5 a lot yep I drove
time to drive the cayenne and so I went
and drove around the Cayenne a little
bit and I love it I absolutely have you
heard this take he fell in love with the
kayen I've been telling him since he got
to San Diego you need a cayen turbo 12 I
tell it to everybody but I've especially
been telling it to Kenan but well yeah
but you know I'm an older man now he
said to me yesterday Kenan is big thing
kenon is like I've only ever owned
manuals you said to me yesterday it's
getting kind of tiring to drive a manual
every
some some sometimes um sometimes it does
but it was just nice more than that
though it was nice to have a car that I
really just didn't have to worry about I
could go through every dip and it was
fast and it was comfortable and it was
the full leather was so nice and the
sound system was great and it's like
understand why people have daily driver
cars now yeah and I I but then I got me
thinking do I just like the idea of an
SUV or a car I don't have to care about
do I really like this car the answer is
I really like that car because it
combines the that everybody likes about
an SUV you sit up high you don't have to
worry about po bumps potholes with it's
actually good to drive yes exactly and
they're incredibly affordable like they
are just around and reliable so you
agree that it was the right choice for
our well no I still chose the right car
but it was it was it's a good choice
generally to have both is the correct
decision and that's more of what I'm
think I don't disagree with that I don't
disagree with that and so it's got me
thinking plus the M5 is so I love the M5
but I really am getting I I'm very
careful how I like like when people are
around like for whatever reason people
see that car on the highway and it gets
more attention these days than it used
to I guess you just don't see nice ones
anymore and so it like people come up
and like take pictures or like want to
race which I do not condone and don't do
but like it it makes me a little ner
like kind of nervous and I know it's
like a 240,000 mile car and I should be
driving it it's just an E39 M5 for most
people it's just just used car but like
it's so special to me it's like it would
be kind of nice to have a daily that I
truly just don't have to care about yeah
and don't have to be as like that I can
actually open the Altoids case in I
really care also like they're not that
expensive to own or maintain well that's
the thing I'm most can't appreciate that
much like a first gen kind turbo is a 12
$113,000 car right so this is A7 $20,000
car like you're totally floor I I agree
I am still concerned about like the
consumables and like I started looking
into issues that some of those cars have
the earlier ones had engine detonation
problems where like engine would explode
that's that's an issue they did someone
did have transfer case problems but I
think that like if you 14 only ever
heard that those cars are reliable and
honestly I and I'm not saying that
you're wrong I'm just saying like they
get submitted to us all the time with
crazy crazy miles exactly and I think
that's kind of the proof in the pudding
that they they can be reliable of course
like consumables are expensive the tires
are Gigantic on that car the break what
You' really want is and maybe you
wouldn't want this but I think what a
one a person would want the cayen turbo
people don't know this but the cayen
turbo when it came out for 11 the
standard wheel was actually a 19 almost
nobody got it but the standard wheel the
19 they called them the Cayenne Turbo
wheel um but almost everybody upgraded
to either the 20-in RS spider wheel or
there was that 21-in Sport Design
craziness this one has the turbo twos I
think right yes I think that's right um
but those were all bigger but there is a
smaller wheel that's more comfortable
too and presumably be cheaper and the
trick also would be to find a 75,000
mile car that's been well well
documented I was thinking like 60 to
70,000 mile car and probably yeah
probably spend 35 oh you don't what are
you buy 2019 no you would you would want
to get but I think you would want the
goal of the car though is something you
don't have to worry about you you want
to get a 15 to $20,000 car you also know
that a 2021 will depreciate the 20 grand
in a couple years I'm worried about I'm
more worried about maintenance I want to
do Grand probably buys you we've never
done anything to that one it doesn't
things since you said in the video well
there's a few I mean still the the
doesn't work in the window Swit like a
30 second fix by the way I went to
started it it had like 14 miles of range
on it so I went gas and then when you
filled it up it still said it at 14
miles of range kind of the needle was
said it had a quarter tank so I agree
with you about cayenne you should get a
Cayenne you should get a cayen I didn't
enjoy the Cayenne very everybody should
get a Cayenne I enjo the Cayenne around
before we filmed has a I just I I didn't
enjoy it yeah I did kind of Wonder it's
like do I really need another thirsty
gas guzzling like s hybrid in 11 they
came out s hybrid had the same
supercharged V6 as the Audi S4 and it's
actually pretty cool it's a reliable
engine I haven't heard that many
problems carbon issues because of the
direct rection but fine you can buy you
can buy even the next hybrid which had a
different engine you want you want the
Audi S4 motor then you can slap the hood
and be like there's an Audi S4 motor in
this baby um speaking of the challenges
and the the thing can we talk about the
thing okay I I I need more than that we
posted the last video where we did the
cars in the desert every single response
wastu Doug knew about the challenges
beforehand because he created the
challenges and so he screwed everybody
folks folks
this is not the way this work sorry can
I can I give context we meaning Ken and
Doug and I and Nick went out to the
brought four cars for under the the
cheapest car America went out to the
desert we we did four Enthusiast cars
against the cheapest car in America it
was going to be lovely the Cayenne won
every single challenge that is factually
inacurate because it is better factually
inaccurate okay you won the fuel economy
Challenge and I think that was it
nope pretty sure that was it no I won
because you you cheated driving the
racetrack
pause so point being everybody was
freaking out Doug knew the challenges
beforehand and so of course he won he
picked the car okay let me tell you how
this works this I think that the
audience actually thinks that we were
like hey let's go to the desert hey guys
you want to go to the desert right now
and just go d That's this was play this
is true of Top Gear too Sean told me
that Top Gear won an award for best
unscripted show the concept is laughable
it's true everything about it is is
scripted and that's true in this case as
well there's no the movie Magic is that
you think it isn't scripted okay but we
all cutting that down for everybody we
all bought the cars we all knew what
we're going to do there's 20 people on
this shoot okay like there's no like
spur of the- moment oh we're going to
try this I I will say before we decided
on any of the challenges you said the
only way I'm doing this is if you buy a
I was pitched the idea I by the way I
didn't even come with the idea our
producer came with the idea and when he
pitched the idea I did not want to drive
four hours to the desert and to do these
things and so I was like I'll only do
this if I could be in a comfortable car
I want to do a cayen turbo I decided on
the car before we even decide on the
challenges now to be fair to the
audience the reason they think this is
because I like did read the challenges
or something in the in the video but we
only did that because the Top Gear way
of doing it was like a off camera
producer hands them the challenges and
that's the right way to do it but if you
do it that way it looks like you're
copying Top Gear yeah so if we had done
it that way people be like you're just
trying to copy Top Gear those would be
the get
right right which anybody gets together
to do anything with
car and the the challenges are kind of a
like that they a way to move the story
along but they're not the point and also
the other funny thing was the challenges
were so obvious it wasn't like of course
we were going to a drag race a r like
what the hell else were we going to do
in the desert like look at the cars we
were going to do that the M51 it just
annoyed me so much and I was so
disappointed every dou cheated Doug
cheated Doug hates to lose folks I'll be
honest with you my primary goal being
there was to finish shooting as quickly
as possible like there was no attempt to
like you know try to game the system so
I won and I think all of us picked our
cars before we decide the challenges
isn't that right yeah and like we we
then built the challenges around what do
we think would be fun with these cars we
did to an extent but this was a
collaborative thing that we all decided
on we just the mistake we made and we
learn every time and I've never done you
know I've learned with my videos how not
to piss people off I'll never forget the
time I was thinking about this yesterday
that I filmed a Ferrari Ro
and I parked it on a handic parking spot
okay now the parking spot was the owner
of the Roma it was his business and it
was closed so he owned the parking lot
and it wasn't open for other people and
he owned the and I still you still and
I've learned over time though what
people get triggered by and so I don't
really get a lot of that anymore in my
videos because but now we're doing a new
format and it's like oh people hate this
this and this so we got to change that
for next time and so that was an
interesting thing we learned well I
certainly hope there will be a next time
was fun to make I was tired at the end
I'll do it next time only if I can drive
a cayen
turbo no it was a great challenge if the
challenge is sports correlated then
there you go I'm going to tell you
something you next time you guys can
make the chall I won't even be involved
so the audience doesn't think I'm
cheating and I will only do it in a
Cayenne Turbo but a different one
because we're selling that one on cars
and bits or giving to the winner of our
giveaway which you can enter by yes by
buying merchandise on merch.con bids.com
when is the giveway over next Thursday
December 9th December 9th which is which
is a Monday yes no purchas is necessary
no purchase necessary you can mail us
something yes all the everything's on
merch stck or you can buy merch and you
should cuz it's cool it isar anyway the
point is uh I didn't create the
challenges and I'm sorry to everybody
who thought that I cheated the Cayenne
Turbo is kind of like a cheating because
it's so good in a lot of ways annoying
as it is to say it it's very good at a
lot of things and it's a bargain the
audience did get it right though that
you hate to lose that is true you have
to win when it comes to production I
want to be clear about something when it
comes to production winning is finishing
fast okay winning is leaving before the
scheduled time that's winning to me
around with the production crew to help
at the end but you had to go so and so
to me winning in that case was just to
get out of there but anyway the point is
I'm not I'm not a production guy as
everybody here knows like I like low
production quality like get a lot of
stuff done I like content and production
a lot of people like production content
that's like how most I'll tell you what
the audience seemed to like they did
mind some production it like pretty
happy with the way it looked by the way
if you thrilled at that well produced
content that looks incredible go watch
it and then tell us what you think and
whether we should do it again it does
look good and it was fun and I may or
may not have won I don't remember but
whatever the challenges you come up with
next time Cayenne
Turbo uh okay quite plausible filipo
tell us the next uh talk cars segment
you guys are going to let me talk about
this I'm going to let you talk about it
very briefly wow all right I have been
known for on this podcast and other
videos talking about how I want a C7
Corvette I've also talked about how I
want a 997.2 911 I do kind of want both
wait wait wait I've also talked about
how I want an EV I've also talked about
how minivan KIA Carnival oh I would love
it doesn't matter um Doug and Kennan
have made a point off podcast about how
I actually maybe don't care about that
that experience I don't want I think I
want to want a sports car but it's not
something I actually care about
intellectual you like to
intellectualize yes and you start the
process of thinking about that you go
through it and then that's enough for
you yeah K I'm gonna I'm gonna give a
little story here because we haven't let
filipo talk about this for a few pods
Kenan is incredibly tired of hearing
fipo talk about cars he might buy so
much to the point that apparently in in
kenan's friend group that isn't include
us they is filipo is like a meme someone
like sends a car like I might buy this
and people like n you're just going to
fipo it my friend Ben my friend Ben is's
listening on the East Coast doesn't I
bet there are other friend group text
threads out there in the world
that like somebody says oh I'm going to
buy a c a you're just filipo but Doug
had a k had a fair point that maybe
that's not actually I I want to want a
sports car I want to want what people
think is cool but actually maybe I want
quirky so now I'm thinking about a panda
and I'm also thinking about a f multip
you if you go back like eight pods I
told them to get a panda or a multipl
goes back to everything I've ever said
which is that everybody should just
listen to me before they do something
yeah Doug is always right he always has
to win want to give a few other examples
of people and then stradman won't end up
with a $7 million house in the middle of
nowhere in Utah if he had called me
first I would have told him it was a bad
idea actually the coning S I would have
told him the coning s was a bad idea
meanwhile everything whist does is a
great idea yeah but if you hear me
talking the future pods about a panda or
a multip that's why I think like I'm
starting to conceptualize that I don't
actually need a sports car I just want
fun weird cars okay I want you to get a
multiple I will help you buy it I don't
want you to say another thing until you
have paid
money for a car then he won't be saying
anything
quiet about car buying I don't want to
hear anything I don't want to hear it
will be and I so he's so he went from
thinking he wants it to thinking my
thought is he's going to now go to
thinking about importing it then he'll
think about driving it and then he'll
think about selling it and he'll be done
and that's about I give that 10 days one
of Ken's things also he thinks that fipo
can he doesn't even need to own the car
he just mentally thinks through the
whole process and then he's done fipo is
a very cautious individ very
conservative and so like just thinking
about it is often enough for that is
true let's be real guys wearing nice
pants sucks everyone knows I'm a shorts
guy but sometimes pants are unavoidable

ter World Giga world and mega world boom
I thought I thought only the the I3 had
the third does matter okay do you know
what we sold our last I8 for cheapest
one can you give me some hints miles
like accident it doesn't matter three
cylinder hybrid you I was going to say
42,000
377 which brings me to my market report
topic i8s are getting cheap now the I I
liked the I8 I did a video review I was
positive about the I8 the the general
populace was 2017 too wow the general
populace is not particularly supportive
of the I8 can you blame the people at 30
seven it starts to become interesting
doesn't it if you want to turn
everybody's head and filipo does he
drives through Little Italy and his 500
bar revving right y if you want to turn
everybody's head yeah but also just look
at for the side it still looks like a
crazy concept car after all this time
it's a ridiculous looking car look at
never see them birthing a 91 10 years
old birthing a 991 does your a bar birth
anything no
just yeah dude 37 we're a year or two
away from this being a 29 car which like
makes sense but it's it is still a
sports car it's not a good sports car
but it is a sport car why is it not a
good sports car at 37 it starts to
become a pretty interesting proposition
does it not it's a bargain for sure 360
horse 420 lb feet all sorts of things
three cylinder 2cylinder nobody knows
what you know how Nick is frothing to
put his quat Porte on turo yeah I think
if you bought that for 37 put that on
turo for Reas you probably make money
with are they relable does anybody know
dude I would tur one if I could tur one
for $1.99 a day almost 83,000 miles on
it I mean yeah I I don't know I'm just
like at 37 this critically panned car
has to start looking appealing it's like
the Maserati gibli there's a number
where this car starts to look appealing
and we're getting close to it it's it's
fast it looks cool it was fun to drive
the interior is awesome the yes the
exterior is awesome I think this is a
legitimately cool car at 85 maybe not
but 3 yeah bargain agreed would you get
one at 22 no you can't talk about buying
a car would you get one at 22 for your
da oh you could daily imagine having an
I8 and E39 M5 past in the present well
past in the past I guess you know but
it's still looks like a futuris it's
like the past in the future it does
really look like the Casual Observer
will think it's the past and the future
right uh then you got to climb over that
huge sill and it's an automatic and I
know I know it's not com it's not that
comfortable but it is cool I I agree for
37,000 all the haters have to admit
there's a number where it's like huh huh
think every car is that way if it starts
out expensive there is a number
eventually gets to it becomes a feeling
uh okay next market report topic felipo
has got something to tell us about
portion surprising yeah surprisingly
enough we sold earlier this week a 996
Targo yep and uh a few months ago we
also sold a 997 Target the Doug reviewed
also R and it just it's so notable how
much of a premium they come in that 997
Target pull up that 997 80 grand that 9
and7 Taro rang the bell it went for
Turbo R the Bell agreed like and that's
a one and by the way having spent a budg
of time looking at one and2 values a cab
with that Miles and a stick an 07 cab is
a 30 3 35 maybe right like that's a more
than 2x premium and on 996 it was true
too right like cab with that miles is
interestingly not true on 93s you know
what's funny is that um when I worked at
Porsche I was there in 97.2 taret was
one of our cars we couldn't find anybody
to take him the it was not cool enough
it was just it was a hatchback people
were like there's no point in hang
hatchback which is weird we didn't know
yeah well I
knew but it was a hatchback and it it
didn't look special the only way you
could teleport a 997 Target from a coupe
was the roof I don't know on the on the
side you don't know kenon do you know on
the side uh I mean the roof the window
situation here the roof yeah it doesn't
have the like curve right the silver the
silver yeah the taras had the
strip was a sunroof available on the
cops that looked similar to the not 997
991 ended up getting like a full full
car sunroof but then for 991 they
changed the target it be cool it is
interesting though I don't think this is
uncool I should say that I don't think
this uncool I think it's actually really
cool but I am surprised to see people
paying enough for yeah and 996 targets
are also not any more different than
scbs but nonetheless people pay people
pay you know anything special in the
Porsche world at the end of the day a
911 is not a special car like truthfully
you see a bunch of them it's not a so
what special about it is if you can get
a weird color or a weird option or a
weird body style like this suddenly you
have something cool and so there you go
997 Target I loved it Ken have you
considered commissioning a convertible
cayen turbo maybe pora did the one porsa
did the one porsa did one there was a
concept Newport whatever did sever they
did that heinous one but Porsche did
their own you ever seen this no Porsche
Cayenne Turbo convertible turbo no no
just type in images you'll you it'll
come up this is porous wow purportedly
it's in the museum I've never seen it
I've been to the museum a couple times
but they maybe have it in there they
probably don't keep this uh in their
top this probably isn't next to the
all-time great no but hey they went with
the Miami pink and the London blue
lighting for
this this needless to say not a
particularly attractive automobile in
fact quite ugly quite but this was poor
didn't they do the rear wasn't there two
rears I thought this was like a concept
anyway
this was a real thing real thing that
they were thinking about and needless to
say oh yeah there are two oh that's some
other car I don't know yeah it's a
comparison although that's from portion
us room so who knows I thought there
were two anyway the point is that's real
and uh weird even if they're not that
different 911s do well that would sell
for real money oh it would indeed uh
okay Kenan give us the or S-Class take
which is fantastic such a good take so I
we have often talked about cars that are
you you look you drive around in it you
look Rich right but they don't cost a
lot think that there is a new a a new
Challenger to that one that we sold
recently we sold this 2015 S550 how much
oh my God
,450 now it had miles 92,000 miles but
no accidents I remember one it was a new
car I did a video review of this car
they are and there is nothing about that
that looks inexpensive that is that is a
rich person's car I mean fake badge on
the side fake Badge go back go back is
this common is this what they're going
for because we I was going to say the
same thing about 750 I 24 yeah the C is
at 37 that's where these are they are
coming down the one that we just so is
low but for the miles w22
165 you can just type in w22 okay 165
225 oh my God I was not aware that these
were this cheap the thing that makes
this especially proves your point is
that these still look like the new
S-Class cuz the new S-Class that just
came out they kind of went for the small
Evolution instead of a new totally and
so like if I pulled up in this a lot of
people think I have a brand new car
right and now thinking cuz I honestly
didn't realize they were this
inexpensive uh I may have picked one for
the challenge this would have been a
good car click on this one what why did
this one go so cheap 6 how many miles
does have 142,000 mil go to the interior
go to the interior I just want to see
the clown smile you remember the clown
smile I do go go look at this this is
held up beautifully it's white it has
pillows it has that pillow it still look
fluffy how do I not have one of these
just as let screw round car for 14,000
us it's quite a bargain me quite a
bargain I already have a heavily
appreciate a Mercedes product I don't
need the second one I me look at that
that is a rich looking interior that
quilting on I mean it's also held up so
well how man Mercedes quality has gotten
so much better than it was in the fipo
era look even even the smell thing is
full and the what what's that called
scent the like interior scent as a
matter of fact on the bookshelf behind
us I have all of the SC all four of them
you could buy it and then use them dude
this I cannot obviously every S-Class
appreciates but the problem is that
usually by the time the S-Class is
depreciated to this level it looks like
a cheap used car like the previous gen
which by the way I love how they look
the one that was sold from 07 to to 14
looks I love I would love an S600 of
that love that car but it looks like it
used like it's old now this does not
look old yeah that's amazing I did not
realize that cheap I will say by the way
all of them are the pull pull a 750i BMW
750i well yeah but we sold one that was
a 2017 two days ago for 18 something uh
yeah that 20 no we sold more Rel than
that except you might have to add I I
can't remember Lord which is something
to consider yeah uh the there's a 2016
for 19 2015 for like they're all of them
that are used cars and the 2016 with
BMWs though don't quite do it for me for
some Reas even more afraid of
reliability having owning an old it's
also more that I don't know they look
like the used car that they are like
which is fine cuz the price point they
are a used car looks like a new car a
year ago that's the current gen yeah but
the the other problem is the New Gen 7
Series looks totally different and so
you could never really all of these are
20 which is wild Mercedes to me just the
Mercedes is a car dude that is crazy I
cannot believe this is what these cost
pick up one of these with a CarMax
warranty call it a day that's not a bad
idea it's not a bad idea the problem is
CarX won't sell stuff like this you have
to just kind of roll the dice a little
but if you're if you're rolling the dice
at 165 how much do you really stand one
of get one of these for your day well
you said that I bought my M5 for 113 and
I'm in it way more than that you're in
it for like 70 but it's probably worth
40 so you're doing all right yeah that's
all right that's only 30 grand over pull
the third one in there the the 16 the
one that 165 what color is that black
this as your daily Ruby black Ruby black
Ruby black Ken buy this as your daily
you I would be so jealous S-Class as a
daily would be unbelievable God driving
everyone to Black
S-Class maybe if I get in silver there
are silver ones these are the good
Wheels there are some bad Wheels by the
way go back there
there's one that's really bad I think
this wheel was not S-Class worthy it it
looks like looks like an E-class wheel
it looks like an E-class wheel other
than that pretty cool wow that's amazing
I didn't realize so yeah if you want
some cheap Lux by the way the Lexus LS
is also heavily depreciated and is
reliable but it does not have the rich
dude look it never did and that J is not
as reliable as the earlier the new LS is
not as reliable the new one I've only
heard good things about the one before
that which L 460 yeah that would those
are the last time we talked about Lexus
ls's on
if it was a cars and bids video or a
podcast we got a lot of notes saying
generation is not as reliable that's
because a lot of enthusiasts buy them
and so they know about the little things
that happen the Chevy AO the timing
Chains would go at 65,000 Mi and destroy
the engine but you never hear about that
cuz there's no Enthusiast in AOS this

questions we only have a few minutes we
got to talk questions questions the best
part of the whole pot questions
questions questions remember you can ask
us questions you go to carsen bids.com
you click the community Tab and then
there'll be a post there that says ask
the questions to the group and if you
ask questions we will upvote the we will
we will answer the highest upvoted
questions no matter how great they are
how great they are how controversial
they are yeah that's true you you want
to ask Kenan questions about his his uh
drug history we'll go we'll do it
nonexistent Advil occasionally when I
have a
headache okay questions the first
question comes from munw worth crowl uh
if you all had to have this is going to
be the whole the only question we're
going to get to if you all had to have
the exact same car as your daily driver
bought with your own money what car
would you agree on Yu 450 alter if they
mean for this series yeah I love the
E450 really take that over this S Class
NS class that we like that we own right
now I think the question is you had to
you we had to we have all to agree on
any car but we have to all agree on we
all have it why would it be a turbo well
it him an an an s214 E450 alter done I
agree with you what about him I like
E450 alter but it is it's a daily driver
turbo that's the problem tur I'll take a
turbo but he won't what if I want
too much performance for him it's too
much car for him every car is too much
too much performance for fipo I've
agreed on both of them but I would buy
an s214 with my own money there's no
world where I buy that's the other
problem it says you have to buy it with
your own money so you'd have to Pony up
for an s24 kind I would get an s213 non-
altering I don't love the 2017 the
preface get I don't love it as much
either but I would don't love it you get
a non alteran regular reclass station W
keep in mind 35 wouldn't you buy a 2017
Cen GTs for the same price me no but I
think a lot of people would I think that
would probably what I could I'm in a
post high performance daily driver World
Ken hybrid Ken hybrid I wouldn't want to
plug in why not because you got to plug
that in I got one more thing remember me
and Ken have enough going on you have to
plug it in he wants us to plug in our
car PL you got to plug that in plug in
hybrid plug in hybrid ridiculous if if
you if you want cuz K I know you love
BMW the X5 also available to X5 is a
very good car by the way off the good
stuff okay the answer is we cannot come
to a conclusion but we're close the
answer is some sort of German vehicle
with a tailgate and a luxury car
probably not a performance car and and a
few years old yes we all Drive
variations of that is older it doesn't
have do almost a classic and it does not
have a TA but he's gonna get a cayen
turbo okay next question from Dr Hall
Doug when giving your take do you ever
have to hide your disdain for cars you
actually don't like so on every auction
for car cars and bids I write a Doug's
take and uh the the editors write it our
editing team writes it but I edit every
single one literally all of them
genuinely looks at all of them your car
has been sold on the site I edited the
Doug take and looked at your pictures
and sent kenon a note like what are
these pictures um right and then I fix
it to the correct picture for but we'll
move on so the answer is not really in
mostly because by the time we put the
cars up they depreciate like the gibli
is the best example and people sometimes
will will like send me notes being like
you're lying when you say the gibl is
good the last gibli we sold for
145 there was actually a 23 we sold
before that but we sold the 17 for
145 this one or not sold I guess as it
were you get the point 16
18 even I can recognize some value here
yeah like I beat that car up when it was
new at 85 at 16 yeah so anyway there are
some cars where the the disdain is
evident in the dug s but usually they're
cars where well I I'll let people in on
a little secret Whenever there are like
cuz Doug hates like black wheels or
aftermarket wheels on cars whenever he
does that uput that it's eye-catching or
like the color really bad ey catching
yeah yeah I there are some coded
languages if I think that right if I
think that something isn't good instead
of saying attractive or beautiful I'll
change it to eye-catching also I noticed
sometimes the editors will be like the
whatever is an amazing car and I like
dial it back it's a great car I may may
not have made that mistake dial it bag
sometimes I do make changes but I mean
if you look at the stuff on the site go
to go to what we have listed right now
like scroll through it and you tell me
if there's anything you don't think is
cool like I think there's great stuff to
say about basically every car we have on
the site right now like what what here
wouldn't you say yeah well this is a
cool car I'm a mini guy a lot excellent
hot hatch the tell a punch I'm a big
mini guy there's no there's no lying on
a mini auction I think minis are cool as
hell I still do I like minis xt90 love a
good Vol I like slingshots like crazy
they're cool as amazing fun to drive
sounds agricultural it was fun to drive
and you want it to be an automatic yeah
you want an automatic but the manual is
fun to drive like legitimately none of
these cars keep scrolling like none of
these cars are bad or or because there's
something interesting like we have we
have that uh diesel Pat is the fa the
best in maybe not but the diesel one is
special and there's like a value I also
have I also have to say Doug is
genuinely enthusiastic about so many
cars an assortment more than almost
anybody I like Japanese I like Korean I
like German like I I've had them all
like I've had cars from every
country what is this sell
for we'll talk off POD at the Colorado
it's not that far how many miles uh 40
4,400 that's a cool car that's a yeah in
a color yeah M x3m competition those are
so F in uh Toronto Red Metallic um
anyway the answer is no I don't really
have to lie sometimes you flowery
language it a little bit but we like you
said we run the car cars cuz they're
interesting and so they're generally
pretty cool or cars we have a lot of you
can only I use the 335 9s in but it is a
cool car and there are great values um
okay next question from Shane Rogers
when can we expect you to be on the Joe
Rogan podcast this is the this car
podcast we're better than that that's
right we don't need no Joe Rogan stuff
up in here you don't want any elk is
there elk on The Joe Rogan pod go big
elk proponent well me elk is tasty if
they got elk in the room how do you know
that Wisconsin man if they elk in the
room I would go to the Jo do they get do
they have an elk in Wisconsin but I had
friends that would go legitimately on
vacation to to travel and go hunting
other places TR to out Midwestern me you
can have it no he doesn't he wants to
dial back he doesn't want people to
think he went and shot an elk
right we what he did I want to recognize
that there AR that elk came from alare
uh right right uh okay next question
from 208 GMC Sierra are you going to do
your annual smoking Tire podcast this
year every at Christmas I go on the
smoking Tire podcast this year is no
different going there next week I can't
wait wow I love podcasting with a real
podcaster also you you have said
publicly so I'll repeat it here that um
Zack clapman you think is one of the
funniest people he is think Zack clapman
is the funniest person in the car world
and a lot of what he says is funny but
the way he delivers stuff I just is
perfect for my humor I'll never forget
here's a great Zack clapman it's it's
the audience isn't going to find this
funny but I think it's hilarious clapman
tells me the following story he's like
he's got a Crown Vic and he Crown Vics
in like the very end they offered hub
caps for like and you could get a set at
the Ford deal Ford parts count for 20
bucks right and Z clapp's like I'm
filling up my car the other day and the
guy comes up to me and he's like uh wow
he another Crown Vic owner comes up me
he's like wow look at these hubcaps and
and Zach's like he's he's like walking
around looking at each individual hubcap
like really getting into him and Zach's
like you know man you could be in this
world like it's not it's not hard like
you could just go buy these for like 25
bucks and I just that kind of Zack
clapman delivery is just beautiful he
should have popped them off and get
him that in there Zach's very funny he
he does he's done standup and like
writes comedy like it shows he just is
so quick on the draw too he's he's just
a really funny guy and Matt's wonderful
too of course Matt a hero and a fellow
Countach owner that's right yeah though
he even hasn't seen his in a while well
that's one of the big things I'm excited
to talk to him about I'm very excited to
hear what is where of his what's going
on I remember when he had a count okay
he probably does too uh okay next
question from we're gonna do one more
I'm gonna pick this one
uh oh here's a good one for kenon yeah
Logan D summer what are some Enthusiast
cars that if dropped into your garage
for free with an unlimited warranty no
cost no hassle would you still turn down
and refuse to drive solely due to the
stereotype or stigma that it carries oh
this a great one yeah that's a great one
to upset a lot of people yeah what what
thing are you going to say here that
upsets people well I mean there's one I
wait there's one I really want but I
don't want the stigma because we live in
San Diego there's a lot of military
presence here and a lot of military guys
it yeah hellcats
oneit I would drive around hellat
literally I just don't want to look like
a lot of the military guys who buy that
like they get their first check they go
to PenFed Finance themselves to the
gills they buy that and they drive
around
straighte it they do burnouts everywhere
and they're irritating to most people
the Hellcat owners I think are one of
the few owner groups that would admit
that they themselves have a problematic
stigma like I think G wagon owners once
say I've talked to so many G wagon
owners like what are you talking about
what do you mean that there's a stigma
no and it's like okay you're crazy
um like okay nice to meet you and see
you later but Hellcat owners no you know
there's some stuff going on there yeah
so that's that's probably because I mean
how cool would it be even just like an
early hook to have 7 I would drive a
Hellcat in spite of the stigma a car
that I wouldn't drive would you drive
around in a G63 mg yeah you would now
yeah I mean time the SLE would suck but
I would do it but I I don't right like
I'm not actually doing it but I would
like if it was in this scenario another
one's like any modern McLaren yeah I was
thinking about McLarens McLarens are
definitely up there McLarens tell
everybody I got rich yesterday in crypto
and I don't know that much about cars
driver run hurac tras yeah Huracan yeah
tried to buy a hurc a non St um the
Lambos are getting cooler I would prefer
a stado but I would do an stto
performance is an amazing car per is an
incredible car the problem is you you
are driving around and people look at
you and think this person knows nothing
about cars right but it's a good enough
car that it overcomes that okay um I
can't think of any car that I would just
straight up turn down h 2 wouldn't be no
I'd drive a cyber truck if I had daily
drive it well it's not what it said true
wouldn't daily it I'd off-road it and a
Hummer age to would be tough Hummer in
general yeah you had a Hummer There Was
You people didn't look at you fondly
when you had it now now they would it's
change the world changa used to ride
around with me in that
hummer I can't think of any car that I
would straight up turn down because of
the because of the because of the stigma
it's not a good car maybe there are cars
that I would be really reticent to drive
but if it was free and warranty like I'd
probably what about wait what about like
Jeep Boomer mobiles what about like a
Firebird like a
you
know yeah like a six cylinder
Mustang oh a beta I'd rather a beta
actually kind of
cool any Buick um any Buick you wouldn't
drive a Park Avenue Ultra you wouldn't
drive a Regal GS well I take that back
any modern I Grand National i' Drive but
I think maybe one of those no I would
definitely drive a Grand National I
would definitely drive but there are
some like a V6 fourth
gen uh yeah an auto Auto C5 no it's
still no I drive that yeah it's a good
it's a good point I don't know man I
would want it but like I would obviously
drive it around yeah maybe like real old
guy cars like an old mobile 98 or
something like one more one more to top
it off uh CU I did borrow one while my
M5 was in for service I just can't do a
dou RX STI like man people look at you
like they absolutely hate I would do
that car in a heartbeat I'd like I'd get
one now I was just yesterday about
getting new dude let's split one no
you're not allowed to talk about buying
a car watch yourself okay I thought I
thought I was thinking about him okay uh
there you go those are our questions
that's our podcast it was the best
podcast we've ever done it was a good
one actually mainly thanks to Kennan and
his tan jacket don't forget to buy our
merch at merch.com buy our merch bu the
