Zuckerman rolls in a pristine 1968 Alfa Romeo GT Junior (factory plastic still on the seats) and Brian Finster from Sotheby's Motorsport stops by to talk high-end online car auctions.

Paul Zuckerman brings in a stunning 1968 Alfa Romeo GT Junio: Bluette paint, Cinghiale interior, flying buttress seats, and yes, the original factory plastic still intact. The big debate: do you peel it or leave it?\n\n\n\nThe guys pivot to California's crackdown on wealthy car owners using Montana plates to dodge taxes on exotic cars. Zuckerman breaks down the charges: conspiracy, perjury, money laundering.\n\n\n\nThe new 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S gets its moment too. Hybrid powertrain, 2 second 0-60. It's making the GT3 look like a lifestyle choice instead of a performance one. Porsche also confirms a new $2-3 million halo car, and Spike reminds everyone he called it first.\n\n\n\nBrian Finster from Sotheby's Motorsport joins to explain how their 24/7 online auction platform works, and what a Python Green 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet looks like when it's ready to go live. The show closes with a deeply weird and very funny detour into funeral home mix-up stories.
