hello and welcome to this car pod I'm

Ken I'm fipo and today we have big news

cars and& bids has an app yes it looks

like this this is Filippo's phone on our

out of focus camera this is an app that

we have you can bid you can look you can

see you can ask questions you can do all

this stuff on our app and get

notifications and other great things

fipo tell us more about the beauty of

the app it is just incredibly beautiful

and it's please download it go to the

App Store it is currently only for iOS

so if you have an iPhone go to the App

Store download it you'll get push

notifications you'll be alerted to any

new activity in the auctions you're

watching it's a great great way to bid

greatway to engage in community just go

download it we're incredibly excited

that the cars and bids app is finally

here what are you doing to celebrate

kenon well I've been using it which has

been great it it's nice to have it like

just on my home screen it is nice to get

notifications like a D in S3 M5 that

we're going to talk about later today

and I got notifications for it which is

wonderful did you celebrate the app by

backing over a television in a BMW M5

yes or no I celebrated the strength of

the M5 by doing that but we'll move on

that's another thing and it wasn't my M

for a different day all right we got

some news to discuss aside from the app

which is new and you should download it

bring it on the careera GT news wow

brand new car brand new holy crap can't

believe it's here

V10 now the K GT news is that uh

Michelin has developed a new tire for

the cre GT ah even though the Creer GT

hasn't been in production since 2005 6

2006 you believe this now is this

because the handling of the car is

sketchy and people are concerned tires

have been an issue on the car in in lore

I don't believe that's true either but

in lore tires have been an issue a lot

of people talk about how tires

contribute to the Paul Walker Collision

they may have contributed a little bit

my biggest feeling is the the biggest

issue there was they were going 94 mph

in 35 Zone I think that was probably the

primary factor and Tires Tires were old

yeah it's but I think you do a 94 and a

35 on new tires you're probably you're

probably also going to probably not not

advisable generally speaking nope anyway

the point is they got new tires and

they're going to put them on all the

cars they're going to put them on my car

here pretty soon wow and then part of

the warranty like the recall replacement

and then they're going to set a new

nurur ring lap time they hope now that

is interesting to me because I have long

held the belief that if you were to take

cars on Modern Tire technology You'

probably get quite a bit better time on

Racetrack what I wish is that they would

put it on kws so the car came I'm

serious it's better suspension the

suspension technology is dramatically

better than the sack suspension that

went in the car 20 years ago but because

that was the OE supplier Porsche is not

going to put a OE car on KW suspension

but I guarantee it would give him an

extra 3 four seconds I think the

difference between that car on kws with

the new tires and without kws with them

I bet it sets the alltime lack record I

you started to say that you wish they

put it on K and I really thought it was

going to be ko2 oh

ko2 quite something if that car was on

KW suspension I really think that it

would be even faster and it'll be

interesting to see where it lands yeah I

I'm very excited and honestly I hope

that a number of Manufacturers continue

this with their older like very high Lin

por is doing it in in kind of an

interest it's self- serving because

Porsche wants everybody to realize that

they're standing behind their supercars

in a way that some automakers are not

and so they're like oh we're still

developing tires we're still supporting

with parts we're still doing n times we

still care and to fores credit it helps

the resale value of CR GT and when your

Hybrid battery goes in certain cars and

the automaker is not there to stand

behind it then you start to not the 918

spider the other certain other brands

cars from another yeah the nation's

shaped like a boot fipo no and so then

you start to wonder like okay is that

should I buy the next one and Porsche is

making it clear like you should buy

Mission X because we care about career

GT enough even 20 years later we're

still developing tires we're still

setting nurburg ring times Etc it's kind

it is kind of cool it is a cool exercise

and that makes sure that everybody's

aware hey they're going to keep values

high of these cars they're going to keep

making Parts unlike Z8 tail lights you

want to talk about that next let's just

do it you want to talk about that now

okay I found out that the BMW Z8 car we

all know and love indear the tail lights

are neon have you heard this whole story

yet the tail lights are neon it came out

in 2000s before anybody had

conceptualized LEDs right so they came

out neon tail lights yeah I know I'm

familiar

take a guess what a replacement cost for

a Z8 tail light

is 17,000 17,000 is absurd it's 5 grand

a light that's not notable you want to

replace your tail lights $10,000 plus L

Mercedes E350 headlight costs well

headlights are different headlights have

all sorts of they turn and they have all

sorts of little in them a tail light

lights

up me and K change tail light Ken and I

could no joke change the Countach tail

lights we didn't even need a weekend or

cold ones we could go do it right now

like even just a mildly cool one would

be fine I don't need a to be cold to

last the duration of the service but the

yeah the it is interesting so I mean

there are a couple reasons one they're

only ever fitted to one car y but the

thing is they're known for failure they

fail all the time so they're all failing

right now it's kind of a knife that just

hangs over every C's head it's like when

are my tail lights going to

,000 tail lights going to repl many

people do you think are just like

hitting them so that they can file an

insurance CL oh interesting I say if I

were to guess how many people I would

say none none insurance fraud is rampant

no that's never happened but Z8 tail

lights are 10 grand to replace now with

that said SLR brakes are 40 right so you

know com you have to really pick your

battles here but nonetheless H what a

cool car it is cool but that is that is

crazy I wonder what the most expensive

BMW component you can buy is individual

component you know what the other funny

thing about this car was when they when

they released this car they announced

that it would have a like a 50-year

parts they would have a stock of parts

for 50 years of course they abandoned

that the minute the car went out of

production they had a stock of parts for

like a long weekend that was it right as

I know some s s62 parts are no longer

available which come in the real Z8 not

the alenis and so okay and so yeah but

they did tout that in uh in traditional

BMW fashion lied lied okay give us our

next news story what do we got next uh

this okay Kon I want to tell you about

this cuz I guarantee you haven't done

any Research into it and I want to tell

you what's going on that's true Tesla

did another event like they do and i'

people pay attention to these events

less and less because they're the boy

who cried wolf they announced stuff that

never comes and they announced two new

cars the Roadster is a good example

because they announced two new cars here

but the Roadster which was announced

like seven years ago at an event still

isn't here has active deposit people put

down real money put down money and it's

like okay well why are you showing us

new cars when you're kind of late on the

car that we've already okay but

regardless this is a new Tesla Robo taxi

yes what I'm about to tell you is trueth

it is two it's a taxi with two seats yep

so it's you and one other person show

who's not a driver you and one other

person if you got three people tough

tough got to get another one y you got

to get another but even better you see

how it's a wheel and then there's

outside there's more gold they painted

the tire what they painted the tire look

that is just a tire that's been painted

wow revolutionary

Elon Musk is a

genius anyway I don't even find this to

be that important of a news story they

announced it it was it was sort of a big

thing but nobody really cares anymore

what Tesla says at these things because

we all know we're not going to see the

car when it's promised it won't look

like it was promised it isn't going to

do what they said it would do still

waiting on the Roadster well I'm still

waiting on Cyber truck to cost 60 Grand

or the or the model 3 to cost 30 so what

is the toaster thing that is door it's

some sort of

Van as with many startups they're

Reinventing public transit ironic

ironically this seat's 20 and this

seat's two I don't need either of those

I need I need this to seat about five

and this to seat about

nine so really catering to you here I

need to average out these two and to be

to be in order for to be rational car

and we need to not paint the tires is it

gold because the idea of public

transport like taxis are yellow and so

this is like cooler is that future of

yellow yeah and gold happens to be like

a very trendy color right now

interesting I want Ken to know that at

the event where they revealed this they

also had a robot serving drinks now the

robot originally claimed gold it wasn't

gold they originally claimed that it was

like some kind of like Tech that allowed

it to do this on its own there was a

person controlling it they there was REM

there was like a remote controlled

robot these stuff I would had RC maybe

we got a robot right here we sure do

this guy's the future Transit little

Michael it's his name is Mike Mikey okay

give us

this is a Lexus LX

700 this is a big news story that I

don't forget 700 H this is a big news

story that I want to tell fipo about

I'll tell you why my seoa has a 3.4 l

hybrid V6 with 440 horsepower and 580

pbet of torque and up until this moment

the Lexus LX the top dog big boy doesn't

have that but now it does it actually

has more they gave it a little more

power they they were like how is the

Sequoia the top dog big boy we need this

to be the top dog big boy so they give

it the same torque and slightly more

power 480 instead of 440 do you know

what else this will come out in 2025

there's no other information but you

know what there will be that there's not

currently an overt tril trim there's

going to be over Trail trim of this yep

with triple locking diffs ooh really

yeah W electronically locking but yeah

triple lockers are unusual these days I

just drove that G wagon with four Motors

and I'm like well I don't need a triple

Locker you don't yeah interesting

um by the way it's 457 horsepower not

480 so it's only 20 more horsepower than

my SEO Bu The King pound torque have 583

same oh same same wow they basically had

to upgrade the LX just to meet the seia

and its needs now the benefit of this is

that you don't have to have camo Fender

which is admittedly a benefit that I too

would pay an extra 30 grand for what

does this cost 30 they haven't revealed

pricing no but pricing is enormous you

know when I went to look for my seoa the

cheapest one of these I found was used

for

$120,000 and and I thought spending 85

on the seoa was already way too much

money so a new one I mean they were

markups I don't know what the sticker

the lx600 based model starts at 94 94

but there were heavy markups on them and

then there were the used Market was

crazy and all that I don't know if there

still is not a lot of LX demand you

don't see them you don't see them you

see new Range Rovers you don't see a lot

of new lxs it drives like a truck yep

okay give us our next news story ooh ooh

uh Brembo the people that make breaks

have bought Oland the people that make

suspensions uh for for $45 million 405

405 million huh what's uh the upshot of

that we're done with that new story I

mean it's in right there's some

consolidation in the part space

certainly Brembo sold off some Division

and had some cash and I think decided to

spend it there um what's our latest with

ricaro that's the only kind concerned

about BBS um BBS is perpetually in

bankruptcy though it's like i't anything

new the bankrupcy Lamborghini in the 60s

and70s

80s and 9s and then Audi bought it yeah

um couple of interesting things largest

acquisition in BRBO

history it is it is all cash move on to

the next one because the next one's good

yes so this is the Corvette ZR1 we're

all very excited for this car to come

out and GM has been doing a good job

marketing it people are very excited but

they also want to give some real stats

to this thing so we all know it has 1,64

horsepower which is crazy but how fast

does it really go as you say all

performance cars are the same fast not

this one this one does

233 M hours tested the combined speed

like so let going one way and coming

back and averaging it was 233 making

this the only car under a million

dollars that will do 233 mil hour it's

faster than McLaren it's not as fast as

McLaren F1 but it's what was the 237 23

241 and all McLaren F1 fans are like

it's the fastest naturally car ever and

so this is up there this is turbocharged

and and hybrid and new and automa and

yeah but you know regular C8 is na

though and I I think I would hang my hat

on that but the the part that gets me

about very impressive but the part that

gets me about this is that Mark Rey the

president of GM is the one who set the

speed no way and he did it with a

passenger oh wow so it could go faster

so it yeah so it could go faster but

that how insane is that I mean that's

just like a Throw Down The Gauntlet kind

of performance I still believe that all

cars are the same fast performance cars

are the same because you'll never do two

33 they did this on I've been to their

Proving Grounds which where I'm sure

they did this right they actually did

this in Germany they did it in Germany

aut that's the thing board in order okay

it it costs under a million dollar buy

the car what does it cost to fly it to

Germany and get all the people ready to

well below million you get the point

Corvette you get the point you got to

rent the track yeah you get my point I

mean that is that is 233 is amazing

especially because people kind of stop

doing the top speed thing like every

performance car now hits 200 that's kind

of the benchmark it's enough it's enough

admittedly and some of those coning and

stuff go so fast that nobody's ever

really going to beat that and then the

question of is it even a production car

kind of came into play it's like kind of

over as someone who owns a car that was

the fastest car in the world at one

point very

briefly two years but it's technicality

almost oh two years um it's the kage for

those of you who are

wondering y every other car at the time

was trash and that was also trash but

just slightly faster trash well fter

yeah faster trash it is the fastest car

from America except for one yeah oh the

SSC to Atara

yep ultimate Arrow TT those are not cars

so this is the fastest American car the

ssara and arrow are the aspark owl of

American they W went 283 mph it was then

question it was the whole thing as you

guys recall oh I was and then that car

burned or got crashed into or something

it got crashed into you know what didn't

get crashed into Mark Roy driv 240 and a

ZR1 with a passenger with a passenger

who's the passenger I don't know but

they were they must have been scared out

the why is this corporate executive

driving so fast this person is

completely

unqualified yes if anything happens we

are so screwed better hope it's

quick it would yeah but also a rare a

rare opportunity when GM actually does a

stunt like this and it pulls off cuz

they have an executiv crash a Z1 several

years ago like Tes like yeah I think

that happened as well

so and I'm going to tell you this and I

want you to understand how special it is

I drove the Hummer EV many years ago at

the GM test track the next day Joe Biden

drove it at the same place

wow you beat Jo bid I got before Joe

Biden now Johnny liberman had it before

me but we're not talking about that

what's the next new you're out here

you're doing it you're you're winning

you're doing

it you're driving the Corvette this is

not all right give us the next news

story what do we

got oh okay what the hell there's

something that I want to talk about what

is this Renault which is a car company

in France and that's actually owned by

FCA interestingly um has been coming out

with some great retro cars this which

well we'll talk about why I care about

it this is the R4 which is meant to look

a little bit like the old Renault R4 and

there's also an R5 which I think is

really They're bringing back the R5 the

R5 is out no way can you check that is

yeah the r is like being and it looks so

cool it looks a little Porsche man V in

the front but it came out first yeah the

they're all electric oh yeah it looks

tycony with the headlights yeah the rear

though looks Rena 5y and you know what I

was thinking about this a lot yesterday

you know what I

realized we've reached the era where the

cars that they're doing like Recreations

of are cars that I care about I didn't

care when the SSR came out when the

Heritage High roof HHR came out when the

PG Cruiser came out when the Camaro

Mustang redesigned they were like meant

to be retro came out but I care that a

90 Renault is now getting being reborn

that's an interesting

point point they were starting to Retro

eyes cars that we grew up with because

those cars are now 30 40 years old

there's a there's a retro

Kai we're old I love this and I think

everybody else will too like it's

brilliant to bring are they going come

back into the US market now that they're

making electric cars but didn't pujo

attempt at some point set up an office

they were going to also have

DS which is Citroen sporty brand okay so

what happened it hasn't happened so the

answer is the upshot of this is we're

not going to ever see any of these cars

you will see them when you are walking

around in Milan as you should yearly as

I should yearly it's my yearly check

myage to go see walk around Milan I buy

that sachche around Milan I just think

that they're so cool and I wish course

you actually won't see them in Milan

because Italians only by time corre

sorry you will see them in Paris I'll

see them in N yeah yes how nice

no okay give us our next news story all

right this is just I added it in the

last minute because I think it will

annoy kenon there you you you are

familiar with the two Series Gran coup

Drive I can't stand it kind of ugly two

Ser ugly I mean we can all

agree there is a refresh version yeah

and there's also a new trim level for it

yeah which is the

m235 yeah they're no longer doing I you

we maybe talked about this already it's

no longer them confusing when it's I and

then I3 is electric and I used to be

injected and every car is injected now

my favorite part is the badge yeah that

M2 is Big the M2 is the normal M2 Logan

then they added 35 at the end right well

this but this is this is what they're

doing on all their cars now the first

number is now big so if you see new Five

series like 530 it's like 530 it's such

a lie cuz it's not an M2 well but it's

M2 35 it's the same thing they're doing

it on all of them to try to get people

to understand which line either cars are

CU they want to emphasize the the series

above everything else because when go

electric they're going to lose the

numbers at the back and then it becomes

I5 535 they want five to be like the

number for that car and so they want two

to be the number for this car but it's

the implication the implication this is

a great car people are just going to

take floss and they're going to Lop off

the 35 and just have oh it's an M2 back

that will be the annoyance can I tell

you something I like this car I like the

m235 grand coup do you do you have the

power numbers right there it's 320 isn't

it it's 312 320 and all-wheel drive it's

312 and it is all-wheel drive dude 320

and all you're yawning when I was a kid

B7 S4 comes out at 270 all wheeel Drive

same siiz car and people are freaking

out the kind of people who are right now

writing us complaints online about how

they hate this car have a B5 S4 and

think that car is God and this car is 50

horses above that car it's the same size

and it's still four-wheel drive and it's

a dual clutch it a seven speeed dual

clut boom this thing's cool I'm

convinced is it really so why they do so

the M5 has an automatic and that has

this thing has a dual clutch what was

the logic there I'm telling 4.7 seconds

if 47 that beats your M5 I'm telling you

that's I'm telling you if they made a

true M version of this an M2 Grand Coupe

and it was all wheel drive with 400

horse it would be an Audi RS3 competitor

and people would think it's cool I swear

it's a good looking car people think

it's not you only say that because you

know it's a bad car but if you bought it

if aliens showed up they'd be like

that's a good-looking car they knew

nothing about the car only if they had

poor taste in automobiles I think the

two grand Coupe is a really cool car

it's weird for you to die it's got 320

horsepower all whee drive and dual

clutch 47 if you put those things on

paper you would be like this is a cool

car I will say post face LIF it looks

better still pull up a picture of this

thing type in m235i Grand Coupe do you

got to do 2025 if you want the new one

and remove I don't care if you do the

new one because as Doug despite Doug

saying m235i it's not an m235i got get

scroll down scroll down pick look look

at that the white do the white one do

the white one look at that that's a nice

looking card the facelift helps the pre-

facelift I I thought the rear hand like

the the back was weird I'm not I'm not

sitting here saying it's the most

beautiful car I've ever made but I'm

sitt I'm telling you this if you didn't

know anything about cars you'd be like

this and by the way this is the three

series from years ago when we were all

like oh we love the E46 here's an E46

with 312 horow and a dual clutch and wor

styling yeah okay but it's modern like

it doesn't have the giant Grill

everybody complains about this is a good

car K should like this car you should

like this car Ken go go out and buy one

for for Emily she'll enjoy it I don't

think so stick wants an SUV well she has

an M3 CRT

so she also doesn't care about this

car9 yeah she's legit hey how come we

not do the story on the cars that di I

don't know ask her producer that's a

good story all right uh next up we're

going to move on to talking about cars

which we've already been doing but now

we're going to talk about non- news cars

cars our lives and I want to start with

something that irks

me please when people walk up to me in

the Countach and they freak out and then

they ask me if it's real well yeah it's

the fair question you walked up to me I

would you tell me if it's real you're

the one who's freaking out if I walked

up to somebody and I thought they had a

Pontiac Fiero kach Recreation I would

still freak

out about it weird odd I would I would

think it was funny it would be

entertaining but I point if someone's

going to come up to me like don't be

asking me if it's real that's for you to

figure out before you start freaking out

of me I'm not here to answer your

questions about the realness of the

thing that you're freaking out about get

out of here you're just like yeah then

they go oh okay it's nice to meet you

and then they leave cuz oh you of course

it's real who do you think don't you

know who I

am I'm dou deiro and this is a

Lamborghini kest no I always am like

yeah it's real it's real five leer side

draft V12 and they're like oh cool and

but what I want to be like is you're the

one who got excited yeah so why are you

asking me if it's real doesn't make

sense to me go to course type in Fiero

in the search you're going to talk about

that uh F4 no no no I'm going to talk

about the K replica cuz I think it look

red bot the this one I mean like

fundamentally that but this

this this is titled as a Fier but wasn't

it a tube frame but didn't have nothing

to do with a Fier kind of it's the VIN I

think was a Fier there is no Fier

Countach rep that's this nice no and by

the way the other thing but is that a

real one well you know oh it would be

hard to tell it would be hard to I mean

the other thing that's annoying to me

about this or at least surprising is

that anybody's asking this question at

all in the '90s and 2000s there were a

lot of Fiero replicas of Countach around

but they're gone they were all poorly

made they've all Fallen to crap you

don't see them anymore like the last I

have seen more kosas in the last five

years than I've seen Fierro k r that's

so true that's true no no Fiero has made

it no let alone ones with like poorly

made fiberglass body panels that some

dude did in his basement cuz he wanted

to get away from his family am I wrong I

mean that's what was going on not wrong

at all right this is such a good incred

what self R about this

68 I mean all the money and it's got the

interior was good too though I mean

that's the interior is pretty pretty

good it's not perfect but like yeah

itate yeah but it's got a Chevy 5.7 L V8

yeah those are seats those are real

seats it's so good it's really cool it

fool kenon I'll tell you that it' fool

you I would buy it it would definitely

fo and fool everybody else he'd even

hear it start up and he'd be like yep

that's real not that it would start up

and that's a tell my car starts every

time Meanwhile your cars on the other

hand start every time okay um Can K tell

us about the gifts yes so I recently was

in Ohio for my friend sister's wedding

and there happened to be a car show that

I went to it was called motto Bella

amazing turnout and I got some gifts

from some people who were there so one

of the people was myON vernes now for

those of you are unfamiliar he's junkman

on Instagram um has the most eclectic

collection of cars I would say of stuff

you've never heard of I mean that's his

thing is weird like really bizarre stuff

when I met him I told him he's like

known for being into weird cars and he

was surprised by this and I was like

that's what that's his thing also one of

the kindest human beings I've ever met

truly one of the nicest people and he

gave me this which is a Dodge Viper rt10

I don't want to take it out cuz I don't

want to damage it but it's in there is a

little Dodge Viper because he knows that

I have been this is a model of one yes

the so the in 1992 these were like the

part of the like press kits that were

like given out at dealers and so and so

I happen to have one now because he

knows I want one and he wants too he

loves the first gen Viper and knows that

I'm on don't we all the and so that was

incredibly kind I was not expecting it

all but I cherish it thank you my coming

through yes but it continues so my

friend Nick had a myok 57 that

unfortunately caught fire and burned to

the ground now this is not like just

something kin saying this is what

happened fact now but he happened to

have a bunch of accessories that he

wanted to so his the spirit of his

maybot could live on this evidently is

the press kit that you got when you

bought bought a Maybach product at the

time and inside of this portfolio so not

not the press kit it it was it was this

came with the your car your car yeah so

they have his leather interior Swatch

here which smells amazing smell that

it's so this is like a smells Le I smell

it smells like leather it just smells

like a car of that era it's you could

almost eat it it's like walking down

streets Doug might eat it yeah don't

give him ideas I can't get it out but

this is the um there's a wood sample too

that like came with the car and then so

these were the samples that if you

ordered a mybach gave you yours and then

but interestingly they didn't give you

just the color they're like you can have

all the colors sir and so you got and

they all have like the names on the back

of them but there's the full color range

which is wait wait can I have clear the

I want the first one clear that's the

clear

coat can I ask you guys a little trivia

question yeah what was the only

non-metallic color available on the

Maybach 57 of some kind biano it was

called it was called uh uh it was called

Snow

White give it one more shot snowy owl

white it's called Alaska white close I

mean you

know is what he said native Tong there's

a lot in here I was really stunned so in

addition to that stuff there also like

books that talk about like like the

materials that go into each of these

cards it's like Story Time give me one

of these this is like hand painting a

violin give me give me one of these

books look at this book eye catching

effects is the paint section oh my gosh

this is incredible all this stuff it's

like oh my God Ken listen paint is

smooth paint is pure paint is only

perfect when it looks as if it was

poured in one go and with a pure

evenness is not impaired by lumps runs

or stray strands of hair no matter how

fine yikes um can I ask you both a

second trivia question these two greens

have a very similar name guess what they

are uh green fipo and green

mybacco Ireland medium green an Ireland

dark green okay okay fantastic this is

amazing I reallyis this is a really cool

thing when you bought super expensive

cars this is the kind of thing that you

do used to get yeah I think still today

automakers are pretty good about maybe

you still do but so much of it is

digital these days online I mean Genesis

gave you an iPad so right but this I

this is it was a wonderful gift so thank

you Nick your mybach lives on here in

the cars in bid studio and I'll put all

the stuff back later but speaking gifts

by the way oh you got something nailed

something to us you wear this I am

forgot it's a little what it is is it's

here it is it's a

little uh stuffed bird it's an owl if

you will it's an owl and and it came

with a card okay and it's the card says

my name is aspark and I'm

real and I agree this is the only real

aspark owl because the other ones are

all

uh fake to be perfectly Frank they're

not Cars we are aware of hi ow this is

an aspark or is aspark the owl much more

aesthetically pleasing than the aspark

owl to with Mike the Audi robot he sure

is someone sent us to they didn't sign

it so it just arrived we don't even

know maybe aspark themselves they should

after all the publicity we've given

them yeah nobody heard of this car until

started yes really really making fun of

it um gratefully so yeah okay felipo

what's your uh topic for us today you my

topic was added by not me and it just

reads will I ever buy a car will I ever

buy a car and the answer is of course I

have bought several vehicles in the past

and I will continue to in the future

it's been a while though like you know

it's been a year and a half yeah and

you've been talking I've been talking a

lot of talk look lot of talk I want a C7

Corvette I don't want to spend money and

therefore I have not bought a car but

that's what it amounts to why won't you

look at a car purchase as total cost of

ownership like I do why do you have to

look at it like you spent money are you

just so afraid of the opportunity cost

of course what are you doing with the

money right now

of saving it it it is stored under my

mattress as all sane people do it's all

Italian that's how Italians save money

they don't trust the banks they don't

trust the stock market for good reason

no that is not where my money actually

is do not rob my house to get the cash

not existent um I here's the thing there

the true total cost of ownership is not

you won't make money buy a normal car I

know but you won't lose much you lose

some though but fipo life is worth

living I live

it God he is such a I think this is one

of the reasons why filipo likes me

despite the fact that like objectively

he shouldn't is that like I am someone

who actually does some of the things

that he and he like it's like oh huh

interesting that's that's that would be

cool but then he doesn't pursue the

doing of the thing I I have spent let me

tell you guys how much I've spent on

cars in the past bought a car for a

dollar other car I bought go order for

$8,600

3,000

$4,000

27,50 uh and then 11,000 but you were so

there there's one outlier there and I

can't quite cross the outlier I had a

lot I I had a hard time crossing the 40

Grand Mark for a long time I'm having a

hard time crossing any Mark the

difference for me was I was I was I had

a very hard time crossing the 40 Grand

Mark for a daily driver even still I

think that that 40 40 50 maybe with

inflation should buy you like all the

daily you need 90 80 on the score yeah

it's too much but I've started to think

of things as total cost of ownership

more but the total cost of ownership

once you include taxes once you include

Insurance once you include maintenance

is nontrivial as Kenan would say life is

worth living like what you 500 C people

die don't you want to enjoy your life

life is fragile and short I I think that

there's a good chance that in the next 3

months by let's call it the end of q1

I will have bought a vehicle but I think

there's no chance of that at all I think

I would put money against it but you can

continue living vicariously through me I

had quite a drive to work this morning

I'll tell you okay time you can come

next time time for the market report

market report market report brought to

you by cars and bids the world's finest

Automotive online auction Automotive

that now has an app you can download it

on the Apple app download the app

because on our app you can do things now

you can also do it by not downloading

the app so either way but you should

download the app uh I want to talk

about I want to talk about uh the app

gives you direct access to tell fipo

what car you should buy does it it sure

does you can go to community and make a

post and then um I'll look okay I want

to talk about a few things with the

market report by way if you're selling a

a s Corvette uh z51 coupe with speed 30

let me

knowb no no no no I I'll have you submit

but it also needs to be within like five

miles of my house so to make sure he

gets it for a deal he knows if he buys

it on the site he'll pay all the money

all right uh Kon take us away on the

e395 result today which was wild it was

great so I had I had mentioned uh in the

the portion of Felipe and I talked about

we talked about I think I mentioned it

last week too we talked about important

cars that are for sale right now and

this E39 M5 was for sale Dinan S3 which

is the supercharged version of the car

that was offered by Dinan in the early

2000s 621 horsepower real stuff and it

sold for

$17,500 I admit I hadn't clocked too

much on this and I I should have but I

now did I watched I watched the auction

end I didn't make any comments cuz I was

filming a Tahoe Z71 youah HW

GH but I was watching the auction and it

was an amazing auction to watch the

bidding war started in the 60s and just

carried 42 minutes and um but I didn't

really pay that much attention so this

dond makes performance parts but they

also made individual like cars packages

so yeah so you could do an S1 and S2 and

an S3 the S1 was not a whole lot it was

like a very light very not a whole lot

the S2 got suspension a different

differential it got real stuff but the

S3 they went the full Monte took an S2

gave it a supercharge and gave it real

power and of course like carb it stuff

was carb legal that's that was the thing

that was insane it's modded but not like

heinous like it's modded by people who

knew what they were doing and thinking

about the complete package well not only

knew what they were doing if you did the

package at the time on any of the dyam

products they would BMW to honor your

warranty like it was a bit that's how

high quality the components were and

there's a there's a relationship between

BMW and D that was very strong but these

cars were ludicrously expensive I think

it was like 75 was between $75 and

$100,000 to do this in Period more than

the cost of the car the same cost of the

car yeah like dou the cost it doubled so

75 grand on top of the 75 but I mean In

fairness it was more powerful than the

M5 that came after it so how much power

it was 621 horsepower I don't remember

how much torque 52 footb horsepower yeah

wow so this is like the Holy Grail in

the E39 M5 community it is cuz they they

made obviously due to the cost made very

few this one is number 23 they're all

they all plaques and are individually

numbered how many did they make uh I

don't remember it's not not many I don't

think many into the 30s I think the cool

thing about this car was also final

model year blue yep one owner that's an

ancient Texas plate and and it's got the

caramel interior that felipo and I love

you do love it is yeah exactly this was

this dude bought the car new and did the

dining thing new and then and then drove

it himself 78,000 miles I mean so and so

this set a record for us is the most E39

M5 we've ever sold rightfully so it's

the one and this is the second most

expensive D S3 to transact in Rec and I

will say the other one that that

transacted I'll swear a few months ago

had a third the miles a quarter of the

miles and did not sell for much more so

this is a very strong result I am proud

to say as a lover of these cars I really

do believe we are the place to sell your

E39 M5 and I think this result shows

that how many E39 m5s have we auctioned

at this point uh let's see we have sold

138 of them wow can has given us the E39

M5 the E39 M5 Kenan has giveth and the

E39 M5 has take giveth back give taketh

all my money away um it is amazing the

range of these cars the previous ones

all sold for 14 15 grand but that's a

really really really special car very

interesting amazing to watch that result

highest price one that we sold you go

highest price yeah it was the Cilla car

the yeah the 20,000 M that was 2000 this

is a cool car too the O2 with 50,000 M

for 64 that would have been and we've

sold yeah we have sold a d S2 as well um

we have another one that's coming very

short now if you want an S2 but that

doesn't have the

blower prefers because he's a naturally

aspirated man it's the na build and it's

still made I think it was

43 more yeah cuz they got the D and

headers which are in The Ether 95

Community are gold when they come up for

sale they bring you don't have big money

I keep things stock but except for they

except for his tuned to and some other

modifications we learn about here and

there yeah every once in a while you ask

Kenn a question oh well I got right

right well nonetheless yeah but the yeah

the S2 is kind of the one to have in my

opinion it's the one to have the the S3

is if you can afford it is without

question but there SP 120 G's on e35

plus you got to find one yeah the S2s

are are really great and I'm excited

watch that result but nonetheless this

one today especially that bidding war

between two people really wanted a third

part person would like kind of like

raise their hand then those two would

just slap it down and keep going amazing

it was an incredible War well they know

it's not going to happen again it's like

M1 comes up for sale you got to buy bye

bye right xcore ycore Z send us a

message yeah you want to know about your

experience y uh okay uh filipo tell us

another yeah can you look at 997s market

report for 997s this this the 911 that

was made from 05 to 12 997s especially

early 997s yeah have started to get

really cheap click on lowest price there

uh Canon

okay well the the very cheapest one but

that's reent 25k few others that have

r&m between 25 and 30 cuz that market is

moving quickly but you can get a

stick early 997 high miles over 100,000

miles per sure some concerns reliability

wise but for under 30 now wow we were

all which by the way the same price as a

C7 it happened to 996 a long time ago

997s are really starting to follow suit

as 991s are starting to become cheaper

and 991es are in the high 40 for a tip

one you yeah you can get one in the high

30s if you're willing to put up with six

accidents we sold this for six for 38

there are a lot that are in the that are

sub30 I give I've been in looking

casually and there's a lot available

elsewhere too here's a question I have

if 997s are 28 what are

996s they're down I mean the 996 starts

to become it has to be cheaper than this

because the 997 is is a really more

complete car we mean we've been

selling I find 996 are back like 2020

prices which is 15 to 20 15 to 20 for

like a you know rougher one yeah it's

funny Porsche during pandemic Porsche

prices were wild everything was going

for over sticker and tar 5-year-old

targets were selling for over sticker

and all that and now all the they're all

pushing down on each other once again

and seeing 997s at 20 something I

remember when that car came out right I

mean I was like a holy crap kind of

thing I remember when 991 came out and

it's not that much more expensive than a

997 sadly manual 991 still quite High

how how high are we it

50s maybe maybe I should consider

getting a 997 you should kind you

certainly won't lose value yeah be it

can be reliable you should get a wide

996 here's here's a crazy take that

everybody's going to rather have i' have

a wide 996 than a 997 interesting really

they're an early 9 you know what's

upsetting wide 996s more expensive than

we sell wide 996 for high 20s low we

sold a really nice 996 4S the other day

uh huh okay I mean yeah no we sold the

yellow one that was like re anyway you

get the idea these are these are selling

also in the high 20s low 30s wow the

fact that I they've come out more than I

realized yeah wide 996 I said that one

that car was so nice this is 44 but this

is a really nice 6 yellow low mile

inspect do love the wide the wides yeah

and look at that plus the wide looks so

good click on that oh yeah the rear

three rears of the wide in my opinion is

one of the greatest like 911s of all I

know it's crazy to say front you can you

can have the fight but the rear it just

looks damn good you can see where the

993 came and turned into this you really

can those a transition you can

definitely see and those are some of the

great wheels of por ever did yes and I

kind of think that the 96 4S is will not

lose much more value yeah they're cool

cars uh but it's interesting that 997s

are getting into the 20s well what world

we live in I I've there are some

concerns with early 997s you still have

V Mass issues yeah mhm and there's some

other issues yeah there's some there are

some little issues but they're very

appealing lot of these cars have some

miles on them now stuff's been addressed

they're very appealing uh yeah no they

certainly are uh okay last thing I want

to discuss is the C8 Z6 and the C8 in

general type in just type in C8 let's

just let's just do it to do it keep in

mind that you're yeah we had to do it at

some point the C8 Market is changing

folks remember when Cates were like all

100 Grand I do I remember the first one

we sold in 2020 this one was been to 475

I mean they didn't sell for that but the

they're selling now in the 50s but the

Reas I wanted to pull it up and talk

about z6s specifically which are also

really really coming down if you go to

the top no no no just just scroll back

up cuz there's only a few up there no a

little just keep keep going up and down

eventually you'll get oh my God oh my

goodness clicked on a stinger oh the

point is uh the whole Corvette C8

Corvette Market is starting to really

really really change I saw some article

that came out it's like c8s are the

fastest appreciating C like well yeah

they are because they had gone to a

crazy crazy level and now they're

finally starting to come down to a more

rational number but you can already pick

Z C8 z6s up for becoming a around

sticker wow aren't they below sticker

perhaps even below and eays which are

the bargain of the whole lot I know are

also fairly affordable this is basically

new that's where it got bit to it didn't

sell but you can see where the market is

heading on all of these cars on our like

reserve setting valuation side there's

just a fall it's a free fall may I ask

you a question as a you set a reserve a

month ago and it's like well here's five

new cars that are come for sale or five

new comps that show nope that's 10 grand

too high yeah 10 grand too high may I

ask you a question as a C7 man yep um

what number does the C8 have to get down

to I'm not optimizing for performance

you were driven a CA no it's I drove an

eay from that spot right there to Trail

upstairs does that count for anything um

dude it is but you want to you want to

stick you want to stick I agree with

that as much as I love some of these

Auto cars I look at them I'm like there

is a C7 argument to be made and some of

my friends have made it to me that I

should spend way more money for a

grandport like a late Grand Sport cuz

because the c will continue to

depreciate cuz they're all automatics

they're all kind of similar they're

producing more and more and more yeah

but a very nicely speced CA Grand Sport

or C7 Grand Sport excuse me might not

depreciate the same am I think it still

will the Grand Sport had the Z6 body but

not the performance correct but it had

some like Su special upgrades and stuff

um Kenan and I would recommend getting a

C7 Z6 yeah that's kind of the one yeah

but he's not that's not that's too much

for him he wants a he wants a normal one

he yeah he just wants the pref for non-

z51 pack by the way what is it about we

should get what is it about the

C8 that makes me not no no what is it

about the t7 actually that makes you

want one it just seems like like the

like the Smart

Choice like like like performance for

the money drivability everyday ability

quality the interior is much nicer quity

is on par with the cost which is low

yeah but it's a

the a C6 it's it's on par though it's

acceptable it just seems like a bar and

one that I don't have to worry that much

about yeah yeah yeah interesting okay

that's fair all right that's our market

report for the day no image there's no

negative image unless you are in an old

person community it's a Corvette there's

there's

image I I would much rather be perceived

as an old man wearing New Balances than

as like a like Wann toe rich person you

know yeah and no one will perceive you

as a want to be your person C7 true I

want to fly the radar I will say I agree

with Ken that there's an image any any

Corvette with the exception of the C2

yeah or C what is this C1 gets respect

too C2 is such a beautiful car some of

the the richest people I know I mean

it's it's a totally different world no

not necessarily I get a C2 Larry shenoda

Larry Shinoda okay we're going on to

questions yep questions questions

questions for us now you can ask us

questions you can ask me questions you

can ask kenon questions you have

questions for Kenan you can ask them yes

you fipo of course you have to go to the

you just go to the community tab go to

carsen bids.com or use your carsen bids

app which you've downloaded while

listening to this podcast while you're

driving to work you're listening to the

podcast your pH don't do that go to work

first then download the app use your

company's

Wi-Fi car incredibly my concern was out

with their data

usage cars bids Community Tab and then

there's going to be a document in there

that says ask us questions for the next

podcast and you ask your questions and

we will answer the highest upvoted

questions no matter how stupid can I say

one more thing about the app yeah we if

you are interested in there being an

Android app we don't currently have one

we're considering it please send us an

email at appar bits.com if that's

something that you're app cars.com

that's what I said that that's how you

download the app you go to app at

car.com today has been just chaos okay

time for our very first question which

comes from Q Sal so it's s asking Q oh

and he says question for all three which

carcars would you buy for your kids PS

been watching it for years and I might

love you more than Kenan loves his M5

and then in parentheses Emily I never

considered that his M5 might be Emily

that's theory has been interesting

positive before

interesting okay which car would you buy

for your kids there's a simple answer

new NSX okay next question new no no

wow dang uh what car would you buy for

your kids s what is the answer the

Corolla hybrid okay kenon Civ hybrid if

you want the fastest Honda Civic I don't

gr Corolla would be pretty cool gr

Corolla for your child they will they

will rally slide 17 he's going to Rally

slide into a an M5 I mean you know

people yeah but Ryan is like fastidious

have you met filipo when he was a kid

you know drove it into an

emban there you go that's right and you

crashed into a teacher you you almost

paralyzed and I bought my own car at

that stage that wasn't my first car he

almost

paralyzed think the real low speed

impact at like but if it had been mil

hour that' faster right if it had been

that that uh simulator that you love we

just speed it up to Infinity yeah could

it almost happened if you had pressed

the accelerator many miles earlier all

the way down you could have paralyzed if

I hit the Brak sooner yeah so wait your

answer is a gr Corolla his answer is a

Corolla hybrid or a Civic Hybrid I don't

or just whatever car you

have your your teenager doesn't need a

new car the answer is you get them a

Ford Fusion Energy or a c energy no no

no don't be

ridiculous you get a for Fus and it'll

teach them you know what the Fusion

Energy teaches them not only teaches

them how to fill a car with gas but how

to plug one in are you at all worried

that they'll be they'll only learn how

to twist a knob and no other ways to put

a car in Drive interesting interesting

conc then you also need to teach them in

a regular car how to drive and then you

let them lose with the Fusion Energy

like all right if you want your child to

have a manual transmission at the first

car they text drive you want to answer

this question scroll through the site

I'll I'll say hit when it's when it's

time for your kid's first car n none of

these none of these actually I would

consider an E60 of some kind no no that

engine's unreliable D keep going keep

around he's not a luxury dog he drives

around you want to crash anytime There's

a garbage truck nearby no you want to be

isolated from the I think he'd be in

outside world I don't think

triple pain glass yeah but he he would

not he wouldn't do that he's just not a

luxury dog he'd be so fur just as he is

now a luxury dog if talking about as a

group later next question from Auto blog

what is your biggest Automotive pet

peeve oh uh I got a bunch I mine is when

people say stuff that is stupid and you

kind of have to let it go like what the

you this car is insurance only for this

car is back SE ins insurance

purposes there's a lot of those there

are yeah there are a lot of myths that

have just like for whatever reason

sunken into people's Consciousness and

they just gurgitate and never fact check

constantly hear them and I always have

to be nicer but I'm people say stuff

like that and I'm like oh yeah

actually no I never correct people ever

so if you ever say something to me when

you see me on the street it could be

totally wrong be like yeah but but you

know but you know in your mind you're

like how do I get out of it how do I get

out well was great to see you nice to

meet you thank you yeah other what are

other Automotive pet peeves fipo I'm

trying to think I'm not easily

bothered well you're just bothered by

car culture I do hate car culture

passion people we we we designed cities

for cars and that's stupid people likes

to walk around walkability and

bikeability and mass transit are very

important I hear so many BS things that

people say now that I think about it you

you you can't you can't drive a

right-hand Drive in America it's illegal

there's so many things you as you go

through it and hear all you know okay I

have an actual pet peeve that's related

that I find it very annoying when people

import a car illegally and then try to

sell it and claim oh it has a title it's

all fine no that's not the concern yes

when people do

illegal carset peeve of mine murderer is

another pet peeve we are aware that that

you are like sure just because you got

that car titled cuz that one DMV clerk

let you it in Florida doesn't mean that

that car is legal I do have when I used

to do intake which was the first like 18

months of this business intake being all

the cars that are submitted to cars and

bids by people some there were an

enormous number of pet peeves here's a

big one here's a big one cars have been

hit okay Carfax has an accident you to

tell them oh it was only a minor parking

lot thing no problem not a big deal at

all meanwhile they're buying oh my God

it has a bad Carfax I want $20,000 off

and it's like hypocrisies so annoying

that's one um I mean like it's kind of

specific to because of business we

working but when people cover up their

license plates with towels instead of

taking them off of the damn you cover up

your license plate with a towel I just

watched regular car reviews is doing all

these uh reels right now and one of his

was if you cover up your license plate

with a towel you don't change your oil

and I totally agree with that you cover

up your license plit with a towel or

with your thumb it simply suggests to me

that you are a lazy person and you were

lazy about your car you were lazy owning

it you were lazy maintaining it you were

lazy keeping it and my big thing with

buying a car is you're not buying the

car you're buying the seller and if the

seller can't get a screw driver and

unscrew a license do you know how long

that takes you know your Li is visible

every single time the I've got my

license plates in every one of my

Instagram things I don't care but but

meanwhile if you want to take your plate

off whatever fine but like your thumb

you're a loser that car is worth eight

grand less if you put your thumb over it

and if it's $5,000 car you got to pay me

three grand to take the car I'm going to

hit you with a low ball so hard it's

going to knock you in next sir I see

that you've put a thumb over the license

plate will you pay me $3,000 to take

your car that is my low

ball yeah that that one sticks in my

mind uh yeah there are some

modifications too that I just can't I'm

not even going to get into cuz I can't

wrap my head stripes on a another

another good example of that I mean it's

just it's just just deep that that kind

of thing yeah that kind that is a big

Automotive tremendous losers who do that

yeah another good example is uh yellow

manual convertible it's one of one with

air conditioning it's not just Corvette

people but Corvette people people do it

because those numbers are easy to find

Chevrolet like publishes them and

Chrysler does too and so you can do that

but anybody who does that it's the only

one that's this that this that it's like

I don't care but is is that does that

reach the point of a pet peeve does that

annoy you or is it just a no I laugh

here's one when people spell Aztec with

a c that really annoys me it's with a K

and everyone makes this

mistake yep okay next question from

Mohammad

kinara question for Doug I've been

looking at the dou score spreadsheet

I've noticed not a single car is scored

a 50 out of 50 in either weekend or

daily car category so what do you think

can get a 50 score in each category I

think about this a lot and I don't think

that it's realistically possible

certainly you could never get a 50 for

both um 50 in one would be really really

hard some cars have a 49 and and fall

short on styling that's usually the

thing that trips off super cars several

cars have

49s uh but but their styling score is a

little bit off oh wait Ferrari dayona

sp3 has a 50 in weekend it just hasn't

been updated yet far Daytona sp3 has a

50 in weekend 10 out of 10 for styling

acceleration handling fun factor and

cool Factor Daytona sp3 P3 the greatest

Ferrari since the

F50 uh other than that 50s are hard hard

to achieve in Daily because some of the

stuff is kind of a trade-off it would be

hard to get a 10 in features Comfort

quality and practicality and still get a

10 in value because if you get the only

cars that have like tens in features are

some of the highest end luxury cars and

then they usually are not a great value

what does the E63 wagon have uh High 4S

the wagons do really really well like

the RS6 an E63 wagon the 18 E6 the 21

E63 wagon has a 37 it's got a nine in

features seven in Comfort seven qu the
