Zuckerman got his '66 with freshly fettled carbs and calls it a brand-new car after 14 years. Then it's a full review of the McLaren Artura — great daily driver, great canyon carver, but does it have the dream factor? Jonny says \"I love McLarens. I'm not in love with this McLaren.\"\n\n\n\nThe guys also dig into Jay Leno's renewed effort to kill smog tests for classic cars in California, a luxury watch trader doing 15 years for drug money laundering (and whether the same thing's happening in car auctions), and an anti-AI Waymo attack. Russell Crowe's watch collection gets a proper salute, and Tyler Sheridan's TV universe gets roasted for its very reliable coed shower formula.\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 - How to make a car feel new\n\n03:21 - 1966 Porsche 911\n\n08:54 - Tiger Woods DUI\n\n12:57 - McLaren Artura review\n\n21:36 - Alan Ritchson neighbor fight\n\n30:59 - Leno's Law returns\n\n33:24 - Porsche 718 Cayman is the least depreciating car?\n\n40:33 - Russell Crowe watches\n\n44:46 - Massive multimillion dollar watch theft\n\n47:34 - Anti-AI Waymo attack\n\n50:33 - The crappy Taylor Sheridan TV universe\nLearn more about your ad choices.

Low mileage can be a positive for wear, but it can also raise questions about how the car was stored and maintained (e.g., rubber aging, fluids, and corrosion).","simplifiedExplanation":"They’re pointing out the car has very low mileage for its age. That usually means less wear from driving, but it’s still important to check maintenance and storage because old cars can have issues from sitting."}},{"startTime":219.1,"endTime":223.6,"type":"term","title":"hesitations","url":"/glossary/hesitations","quote":"[219.1s]  You know, a little hesitations, a little, little, little idiosyncrasies.\n[223.6s]  The minute it came off the truck, I drove it to the garage and I said, brand new car.\n[228.1s]  Wow.","canonicalId":"term:hesitations","priority":0.9,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"Hesitation is when the engine doesn’t respond immediately to throttle input, often feeling like a brief pause before power comes in.
