The One-Year Garage: 2006

the bring a trailer

podcast hello everybody and welcome back

to the bring a trailer podcast Alex here

joined at bring a trailer headquarters

by Randy and Beck hey gentlemen how are

you good how are you doing Randy I'm

doing great you just called him Randy I

think but I'm doing fantastic I'm happy

to be here thanks for inviting me are we

doing a year game or what are we doing

today we are we're going to do one- year

game we're going to do 2006 this is the

kind of La well I guess we have the

teens to go to we've done now 50s 60s

70s 80s 90s we're doing 2000s uh as

we've discussed on other pods top year

models for 2024 in terms of number of

cars we listed uh were 2000 I think 2008

was the number one year but it's 04 05

06 07 and 08 were the five top model

years for auctions in 2024 so we went

right down the middle and that's what

we're doing and as we were talking about

yesterday back this is a little bit of a

transition period This is a little bit

of a of a maybe of an era between two

you were asking what was your you want

to frame your term my term for oh is it

is it the 60s of Our Generation what

tell me about that it being a highlight

real of sort of what people look back

towards as being the peak for what we

long for what you used Peak analog which

is like maybe too annoying to say out

loud but there I don't think that's

annoying to say out loud I think that's

kind of true right I mean yeah you were

talking about screens came up and more

electronic systems and different things

were happening mids when was I drive I

drive was a 27 series that came out so

it but nobody else believed it it was

like it was like bat early auctions

everybody said this will fail you can't

do this and I drive ran until this year

they just had the press release that

they killed iDrive finally this year and

everybody all the benzes had knobs in

them for 15 years and whatever else so

2002 was a little too early it scared

everybody but by 06 I think the

competition had it too totally but it's

still almost like looking doing the

research almost all normally aspirated

engines like turbos are weird still kind

of they're special yeah they were still

going displacement right like the M3 was

about to get a V8 which was na right

before later on then they started going

to smaller displacement and we're on the

verge of that huge Mercedes V8 that's in

everything the 6.3 that's getting bigger

55 to 6'2 or whatever it is the other

thing that struck me is so I want to ask

where you guys all were you're uh in my

we're all in the same age bracket but it

struck me all these cars feel modern to

me but this is almost 20 years ago now

that is feeling kind of shocking I'm I'm

approaching my 20 year I guess you could

say anniversary for college so that's

where I was uh I was flying at uvi and I

was driving uh E30 Cabrio uh which was a

silly car for cold cold Midwest Winters

driving to the airport every day uh not

appropriate I eventually traded my

sister for her Buick so I could drive

traded to a

Buick know you were getting all the

ladies it was hey you could fit six

people in the Buick so it was definitely

more than just what the E30 could do

what year college were you uh that would

have been a a junior I graduated 21 is

this year you turned 21 this year I

turned 21 oh great so uh good mix 21y

old back six I love it I love all that

were you in Twin engines by then yeah I

would have been getting my MTI shirt uh

in a piper seminal and I would have been

also at the same time working on gave my

commercial license amazing which I did

fantastic and were you did you ever an

instructor I don't know if I ever I

started my CFI my senior year and very

quickly realized that this was not for

me this is when I wanted up going into

photography and stuff so uh CFI was not

required for graduation so I backed out

of that and started leaning into I was

done with school I was ready to move on

so there was no way I was going to stick

around for like another major or

something so shifted as much as I could

I love it and this is your first one

your garage my first one here I well

correction I've played a lot

okay from the comfort of my car on my

commute now you get to be judged by the

Instagram Community which one did you

scream and yell why isn't this chosen as

you were driving on the highway but

there's a lot of like pauses right no

but which one there has to be one that

sticks out and you're like how could you

not have chosen was it important I don't

think anyone picked the three liter

Carrera with be it's gonna be a Porsche

I should have known it I should have

known it well I think the the order that

we do this in is going to be important

because I I have some fear of rainy but

a tremendous amount of fear of back you

guys are going to fight over portions I

want zero portions I'll call that right

now I want zero 26 portion you can have

all of them I'm excited to be judged by

you when we I've got a Porsche adjacent

story but I'm not I don't even think I

want Volkswagens either I think oh I've

got a good Volkswagen but before we do

that well that's actually a good segue

Randy where what was your age what were

you doing this is the year before bring

a trailer was found 2006 good that means

yeah the Dark Ages prev vat this is the

Craigslist era yeah um 06 I was working

for BMW in North America had some cool

company cars that I was driving those

May inform some of my choices today 06

was a good year BMW was on top of the

world the some of the Bengal turbulence

had subsided a little bit swans song of

an awesome M3 that maybe the three of us

are going to fight over in 06 because

that's just an unbelievable car pre

bangle m i mean M was kind of the car to

have right performance in the US right

like Audi's were pretty cool and the RS4

was out and stuff but man it was a great

era to be a BMW we were selling a lot of

cars everybody was psyched I got my

hands on some very cool pre-production

models and stuff to drive around and I

was pumped uh you said how old was I in'

06 uh what 29 29 I turned 29 that year

married married a couple years no kid

yet no kids married no kids living in

San Francisco driving a BMW company car

and surfing the internet for cars but

there was no such thing as bat yeah mid

o BMWs just so many highlights it's so

good every single one of I have a lot on

my list there is going to be some

tension there uh do you want to drop

your story or you want to wait till we

get into it which story I got kind stent

story oh no I mean that comes to what

car are we picking for a particular

category when we get to that like that

would be my choice but it's not a

legitimate choice so we're gonna we can

just Veer off of it okay I'll do a

little log rolling I was 20 I was also

learning how to fly back I was in so for

part of' 06 the end of or maybe it was

right at the beginning of 07 I moved to

Arizona to go to Embry Riddle to learn

how to fly I was only there for six

months and do not have all the

credentials you do I think I've only got

like 78 hours or 77 hours but I was 23

turned 23 that year and I was driving my

daily driver was the green car that's

downstairs but I didn't want to take it

to Arizona so I took my dad's Civic SI

is 99 or 2000 Civic SI so that's what I

had there most of the time I also had my

Carmen G out there which I later sold on

the site uh it broke down I had to go

back to Prescot to tow it home after I

finished at emry Riddle so anyway it was

a a time where I was thinking a lot

about cars but just had the same two old

cars that I'd had forever the carmag and

Porche this is pre fat motor in the 912

oh yeah way pre this is still inject the

Bosch injection on it

rough registered in Arizona so you don't

have to pass mod or no I didn't register

anything in Arizona it was no it still

passed smog back then statute of

limitations is over but we would pull so

I put the air pump on when it was time

to smog it and my boss rigged at the

shop I worked at rigged the the little

thing that sucks out of there the EGR or

whatever the little thing that sucks the

exhaust out so that when they would put

their finger on it to test it it would

have suction even though it wasn't

really pulling any exhaust gases uh so

it was like a whole elaborate it was all

in a cardboard box all the stuff I'd put

on to a charade what a charade all of

that was maybe some people still do that

I don't know uh I just have had it

registered in Lake County forever where

I don't have to smog it you kind of

cringe but you kind of respect that sort

of resourcefulness I was like a young

monkey so I was or 912 on like the 912

version of the F duct the for the

Ferrari one drivers were just putting

their hands up against the side of the

wall I think I'd given up racing by then

maybe we still owned our race car but I

wasn't doing it anymore I was driving

the 912 on you asked about the induction

I would drive it at PCA events every

once in a while and it would like after

one lap the temperature would be all the

way in the red and I remember being on

button Willow and you'd only gain like

10 miles an hour down the front straight

from like if you came hauling ass onto

the front straight you'd only get about

10 miles an hour you know by the end but

I put slicks on it at one point on some

borrowed deep sixes oh man some memories

are coming back we would do everything

we could to cool it down we' take the

engine deck lid off like and it still

was burning hot anyway great stuff

912e race

team there it is Hash Hash rip the

engine lid

off nothing worked nothing tag

desperation totally I love it totally uh

okay some we've kind of been neglectful

on this but I want to give some

highlights for

2006 uh the 2007 Oscars so the movies

that won Oscars in 200 there were 2006

movies that won at the beginning of 2007

oh what was it yeah it was good it was a

good year so departed was the big one

that year that was scors sey finally

getting his recognition best picture

Best Director Helen Miran for the queen

and Forest Whitaker for Last King of

Scotland so really good year part of the

reason I did 07 for 06 is the 06 Oscars

for' 05 movies is the infamous crash

year when crash won and now everyone's

like that's the worst Oscar winner ever

so better if you think about the movies

that came out in 06 box office very

different though biggest movie of the

year Pirates of the Caribbean yeah there

you go the first one saw one seel and

then cars was number two so that's kind

of interesting came out in 0606 okay

that's a that's a meaningful moment my

dad liked Pirates of the Caribbean

because he got like his money worth he

thought like it's just a

long incredibly long and he just thought

like I why wouldn't I go an architect

calculated totally did he love Titanic

like sure right

that's like the longest movie of all

time is it man he like couldn't wait for

killers of the flower Moon speaking of

scor number three at the box office was

X-Men Last Stand which I have no

recollection sure that's the third one

yeah mini mini sequels down the it's in

San Francisco takes place in the city

they actually grab the Golden Gate

Bridge and they break it off Alat I

probably saw all these in the theater I

was probably going to the theater a lot

I didn't have a lot going on in' 06 so I

probably saw all those but they've

slipped my

mind so we talked about Peak analog we

talked about where were you uh

highlights on the site so we've had

4366 listings from 2006 we have 12 live

right now again it's one of our big

years and uh especially was big in 2024

I don't know if you guys were coming

through the results but like just the

2024 results from 2006 is so many pages

I'm still going I've been scrolling this

enti still in 2024 and you see the cycle

of the same few cars that like clearly

they are Heavy Hitters yep that's right

and I'm sure they're on all of our list

too cool well I say we dive in and start

doing some picking um unless you have

any objections right so I've got to

figure out a better system for picking

who goes first because it's meaningful

the order I don't care I'll go third I'm

picking different things with you guys

okay let's let bet go first because he's

a firsttimer I have a feeling looking at

his eyes that he's gonna destroy me I

lose these every single time because I

follow my heart guys oh quick refresher

for folks who have not listened to one

of these episodes before the idea here

is we're going to pick five cars each of

us are going to pick five cars from 2006

to fill out a a hypothetical dream

garage so the the five categories that

we all have to pick from are sports car

daily driver family hauler truck 4x4 and

a wild card there can't be overlapping

uh so if somebody picks a certain Mak

model that that one's gone it's off the

board so that's why order matters I tend

to use bring a trailer to look for

everything because our it's just such an

easy way to do it but you doesn't have

to be something from bring a trailer

necessarily and uh once Beck you pick

the first category we'll all do the same

category and then I'll keep track of it

all and I'll read back everybody's picks

at the end we're going to throw it up

for people to tell us uh why we're great

or more likely why we're terrible and uh

yeah looking forward to it so I kind of

excited you were G to ask me to go first

just because it was my first time and it

definitely feels like a lot more stress

because you have to get it right right

you can't miss the obvious one as much

whereas if you're down the order you can

claim oh yeah your bad choices have an

excuse

I also had all those on my list but I

get to pick now my fourth option one in

fact it might have been your first to

begin with uh well I have them sort of

in an order before me I'm just gonna

justum C start with sports car sports

cars okay great that's where I always

start I start there every time what are

you looking for Randy maybe a pen and

paper I need to do some tactical uh some

tactical not I'll you one while Beck is

is talking about it's all good we'll

figure it out all right be go all right

sports car you kind of called me out on

it earlier it's going to be the final

year of the career GT God damn it that

has to be the sports car it's up there's

actually there's a lot of great options

uh there's a lot of small cars a lot of

big muscle cars as well but the career

GT just has to be the one we actually

have never listed an ' 06 interestingly

there's a bunch that's weird I had to

look up whether they still made I agree

I also had to look it up but we haven't

um my tactic for a lot of these was go

to the results Page search 2006 and then

choose the different categories and then

start scrolling right never reveal your

tactic another tactic is order them

in it's to R's tactic is to look them up

while we're recording totally I haven't

decided my sports car yet but I will let

you know I'm getting closer anyway keep

going cgt is way smarter than what I'm

GNA very good it's very good you may

have just won yep cgt is is a great

strong one hard to go wrong with that

one surprising that we haven't had one

but then again like we had this big

flurry of them listed a couple years ago

and uh they come sort of less frequently

now but uh saw a prototype of one of

those at Ren sport this last one um in

in 23 um it was had a it was super

interesting had different steering wheel

different gauge cluster still V10 uh

still a V10 uh oh because it was a race

car first wasn't it no the engine comes

from a failed race car program but the

car was a way to salvage the engine and

continue thing too because it's kind of

put together like a race car kind back

of tub is it is but it's really just the

block that that's a carryover but the

interior was totally different it was

parked uh by the pits I I want to say

seall that own it at some point or

something like that still have the high

shifter way up on the it did not have

the ball shifter uh different shift it

looked like a like a normal I guess

you'd call it a 997 shift handle on it

but down on the not the one that's way

up high I've seen that car where did

that car turn up we didn't list that car

is it there's like one uh I don't think

it's Museum I think it's privately owned

but it's it has some weird features and

if you

full cgt geek out you know like what's

all different things and the panels are

different digital LCD screen as no like

affirmative screen Asos not the typical

Porsche dials uh it just one of those

where from a distance it looks like the

right thing and then you get closer and

closer and like what is this weird thing

it's not really one um but I believe

it's it's a pre-production one um that's

been going around but uh yeah cgt for

sports car great great choice love it

you stole it from me R's going to do all

BMW back to do all Porsche it's possible

all por because there are Porsche trucks

at this point and Porsche family haulers

depend on truck both of those are in

quot if you leave the rear hatch open I

guess if you if you believe a truck is a

unibody car that's like tall what's the

spec for you this I think Sefi also had

that blue there's a blue one I just saw

a picture of it the other day that's

really good blue would be great uh Arena

red oh yeah is a great we've had an

arena red um I don't know what was

specifically available in think there

speed yellow too is there there should

Beed yellow as well but yeah I would

actually go for a red I'm a big blue but

not silver though you're with me too

many Silvers it's I can't have more gray

scale in my life every car that I have

is is gray scale right now and it's just

making me sad it's problematic it is

agreed good choice Randy are you ready

I'm mostly you use paper I need a super

quick refresher on on categories B and C

I've got a d and e I've got sports card

truck 4x4 and wild card what are the

other two family hauler okay and daily

driver okay okay but there's like a lot

of crossover here there's a lot of

potential 06 I noticed in particular

there's a lot of potential to move these

around a little bit we don't want to

commit category fraud but there's like a

chance to well and also like sports C

has become so drivable totally right if

we're talking 77 like we said before

that's a very separate category but now

you're in a time where it's quite

comfortable this gets back to the what

is a sports car conversation remember

that are we going to debate the Mercedes

pagota again on whether that's a sports

car still bitter about that

here's the question is an M3 a sports

car is a E46 M3 a sports car yes is it a

family hauler yes uh could be if you're

creative I appreciate that appreciate

creativity I think it's a tougher pitch

to call that a family hauler than a

sports car

personally it would also though play

pretty well into daily driver because

there's E46 wag and sedan that year you

just can't have an M3 E46 M3 can be four

out of five categories it just can't be

a truck 4x4 no matter how much you I

don't know Safari builds are big letting

that be a truck 4x4 all right Randy

you're up sports car sports car 4 GT oh

God Dam non Heritage I I've never liked

the Heritage colors on

0506 to Beck's point it goes way be on

Gray scale I have no interest in an

anthy colored one right how about anthy

with titanium all the titanium titanium

wheels on titanium paint on titanium

interior on

titanium seat inserts TI like 12 shades

of titanium no boring they have awesome

colors I like people complain about

stripes or stripe delete or all this

noise I actually think the stripes are

awesome I just think of the Jeff zwart

Super Bowl commercial of Ford roaring

back and drifting that around Thunder

Hill in the winter with all the green

grass everywhere that's a killer

commercial and a killer car and that's a

red white striped car which I would

gladly take uh I would also take a white

car cuz nobody likes it and I'm contrary

and I want the low speec wheel on a

white car pared outside and white BL

strikes curb parked white blue no

options white white blue yeah no wheel

option noce I'll take Macintosh I'll

take Macintosh what are three or four

goofy options who who knows who cares

twed calibers

that kind of lame I that's a that's a

993 wannabe I also like the the base

quote unquote Wheels better myself I

don't know if I like them better but I

do like them they got thrown under the

bus for Years anyway for GT um

controversial takes sorry Beck I would

take a for GT way before a cgt

interesting I have no interest in a cgt

I think they're flashy I think they're

like look at me like flashy Porsche

Porsche you know I'll take both over an

Enzo that's the only thing I know so but

I think a 4 GT is kind of flashy too

obviously but maybe just in a different

different way different price bracket I

like both those were my number one and

two choices for the for this small year

those the best two cars are incredible

what was Ferrari building in that year

to try to even compete well it's going

to be sports car is what I'm going to

take for Ferrari that that's mine right

now so I'll just I'll just do it I'm

going to take f436 speed so still gated

manual transmission 612 Scag is hard no

for me that's like 62 if you had gone

612 I'd be like family Hauler no I can't

even I even if you let me do that I

wouldn't take it it's they look like a

salamander they're like no good yikes

those are kind of rough F430 Coupe for

sure uh bright color for sure although I

was looking at our results we had a

black black

F430 sixspeed Coupe and that's pretty

slick pretty awesome car um probably my

last the last Ferrari I really

aesthetically like I don't think there's

when 360 was out and then that was

announced how did you feel I didn't feel

like it was progress though I was I was

upset I like a 360 better I think the

360 is better looking and I think 355 is

better looking than the 360 so also

controversial yeah the big my only

problem with the 430 are the B I like

the Enzo tailights I don't like the big

um like oblong shaped inlets on the

front that's the thing that my eye is

always drawn to that I don't like but in

profile they still look like a 36

they're really good and the thing I

remember because I was a Avid magazine

reader at the time is the they seem like

such a bump in power like there's so

much more power than a than a 360 and

then the whatever the one that came 458

made another huge jump and power now

they're all turbocharged Andra so sorry

what's your your dream spec is what

colors and obviously manual trans Coupe

Coupe has to be Coupe has to be manual

gated 6p I think this is second to last

year of manuals in Ferraris oh oh my

goodness man right at the end right at

the end most of them were most of the

430s we've listed and that are exist are

are paddles so uh black black solid I

think black black is what I would do I'm

normally not a black car guy but at this

one black red would be so good it's that

maroon color you know uh just as long as

it's not silver that's the main

thing blue the bright blue that they the

blues got less good at that time uh

F430 was my fourth on my list I made a

lot of well don't we'll do honorable

mentions at the end don't give anything

else away because some unless it has no

chance of going but daily driver you can

daily drive a sports car okay killer

Beck we're coming around the horn you

get to choose the next category family

hauler oh gosh uh this is my deepest

list I had a lot of indecisiveness with

this one because it was really tough but

I've settled on Volvo v70r 6 Speed wow

in

blue okay talk to us about that choice

uh I love the profile of that ER of

Volvo it's like for me when I started to

actually even sort of notice them before

that this is a Spaceball shifter car yes

okay yeah this is something that I've

only seen a few of them around but I

think that they would be a perfect City

Family hauler the only downside no third

row and that was sort of what I wanted

to have as a minimum for my family

holler and that thus I was I was going

fishing but E320 wag for sure or is it

350 by this point uh 320 I'm not sure

but I was looking at E55 oh yeah wag you

could get a third row in those ones

those unfortunately didn't disappear but

is that superch charge V8 or na still I

think it's an NA but like the six3 like

you said before like the the E63 comes

out like it's just such a better one

comes out so there multiple motors in

each Mercedes body style as I and just

like with a all of those Germans they

introduce a new motor but not a new body

style and then three years later they

update the style but not the motor

there's all this like weird Middle

Ground eras and but yeah w211 would be a

good one to so you you want S60 or V70

V70 V70 wag V70 R wag I like s60s though

too with with the six speed you and I'm

assuming you want that blue with the

blue over or that like yellow almost

orange interior no I want the blue I

want the blue that that that almost

mimics the the touring car version

gotcha good choice Randy V10 M5

done manual transmission uh was offered

in that car I think that was maybe the

more rare Choice I'm not sure I'm

looking at our results we have sold a

lot of 06 m5s it's sort of astonishing

um and they're not that expensive and

they're not expensive and there's like a

cream puff white black interior V10 M5 I

was really upset about the headlights on

that car when it was released and

everybody said damid the headlights and

blah blah blah I had a

you know what I'm talking about I've

never heard that I always call them cat

eye because they look like they look

like those cat eye glasses well Google

who I just said you'll see what's going

on that car came out while I was at BMW

it was controversial the V10 was

controversial the transmission was

controversial it did have I drive it had

some issues I couldn't get that car as a

company car so I got a 530 sport in

black tan sixspeed I had that car couple

years before that in ' 04 and I loved

that car one of my best BMW EXP expences

so anyway I like that car I know that's

a controversial pick but hauling your

family around in huge that so that was

Peak displacement right before the turbo

showed up you just went bigger they went

V10 in the F5 which is sort of absurd

never happen again yeah and I like yeah

I don't that the again more titanium

most of them are silver and they look

good but they're a little boring I think

that some of the other colors are a

little bit more rare and interesting

that's what I would ha the famine is

that the the ey drive that on Top Gear

Richard Hammond has to he has to select

500 horsepower like like it actually is

set at 400 he has to go through like a

sub menu that's interesting actually

it's got to be that's the I don't

remember oh there was also the that

because that same powertrain was in that

was when the six series had been

re-released so there's also that same

same thing I don't know if you get those

in a stick but that V10 was also ticket

in an M6 with that V8 going down Ocean

Avenue right by your guys houses now I

rolled a stop going down on the way to

go to some BMW deer somewhere and I I

remember vividly driving an M6 with that

engine in it and a the bad transmission

whatever yeah they were they were SMGs

and so stopping was a pain in those

because it would C clck so you just roll

stops and then sfpd motorcycle right

behind me right by Shanghai Dumpling

King on Ocean on Ocean in Glenn Park

neighborhood and I got bagged and that

was a few hundred bucks amazing that in

of itself tells you how long ago this

was cuz now as FP like we salute you

good luck you're a criminal We Salute

You actually we're not interested in

giving tickets totally never ever why

would we do that oh man that's great um

those are both really good picks I

actually it leaves me with a tremendous

number of options for myself and I kind

of don't know what to do this is the

most Porsche free lists we've had so far

I love it you another thing that so

faring no no no every single car so far

is a six-speed every single car that's

been drafted by all three of us is a

sixspeed and that may continue by the

way like that Trend Volvo produce a

six-speed manual yeah it's the Spaceball

the one with no shift Bo I thought they

only liked odd numbers of everything it

looks like the Citron SM shifter it's

like a smooth thing it's really weird I

presume it works okay I don't know I'm

gonna oh man I'm really tempted to pick

one of The vspec Cadillacs but I'm

actually going to go I know there's also

there's an I don't think anyone's going

to pick this so I don't think I'm

totally no one picked that although I

like those I do like I do too but why

wouldn't you just get a C6 Z6 yeah uh

there's the STS vspec which is that's

the midsize that's a weirdo car when was

the last time you saw one of those let

alone a vspec one which is a supercharg

Northstar but I'm not GNA do it I'm

gonna follow my heart um and stick with

manual transmissions I'm gonna do STI

WRX uh manual transion what was the 06

what did those to last that's the hatch

that's the hatch Nole

sedans oh that's still sedan still the

first it's still the original WRX that

came here but it's the updated headlight

version bug eyye it's the one after that

it's actually the third there were three

different headlights if you remember I

think they call them e that's a good car

that's a good car we sold one in April

this year that was in awesome shape and

it sold for 29 Grand yeah and they're

kind of an icon and like I remember

riding in them back in the day and they

felt they probably don't feel that fast

now but back then 300 horsepower felt

like crazy this is our first

turbocharged car so we at least we got

that we're still sticking with six beads

so yeah that's myice I remember when

those came out this one here has the the

BBS branded those spoke wheels they look

like kind of pro drive but they're

actually BBS branded yes uh I remember

when that car came out cuz the the bugy

headlights were crazy and then it was

big news in the in the reviews and press

and stuff when they finally eliminated

the bugeye look and went with this uh

this was a cool car very cool car

there's actually three different

headlights these are not my favorite uh

the second generation headlights

everybody liked and then these are I

think they call these eagle eyes they

redid them again so there's three

different headlight front end treatments

on that first WRX and the grill may be

better on the second gen too correct

right but these are still really sick

and the gold you I don't the exterior

color matters less white blue I like all

those but gold wheels is a must that's

like a must have I think that would be

really fun that could also arguably be a

really good daily but it has four doors

it's a legitim car that I could carry my

family around in so there the classic

choice for someone who's now had a kid

you can't have the coupe anymore this is

what you move into it's a fun driver yes

that you can afford I won't blow it up

till I get this car for my daily but my

daily is well I won't say anything all

right go ahead go ahead back next

category we're coming around the horn

again all right daily driver my daily

driver I'm I'm don't think I'm gonna be

stealing one from Randy here but you

might be surprised by it please don't

steal it because I got a good one BMW

z4m Coupe take it run with it

that was my long I like that car a lot

shout out Robert Lindsay yes I mean

you've got we've sort of been beaten

around the bush of the E46 M3 uh best

attribute um the motor uh but you I

think it looks fantastic I think it's

kind of defies what was sort of the

Bengal concerns of that time best bangal

design I think yeah uh the rearend tail

lights are just phenomenal uh I think

it's actually one of the best rear ends

of the BMW that a for a while after that

uh and I I love them and and I think you

could totally daily driver it you've got

two little you know seats in the back

right there's two

seats two seat in it's got a big um like

strut bar where the top would have gone

in it's 240Z the car is a 240Z there's

no totally like a 240Z when you're in it

did you ever drive Roberts did you you

must have drove those I drove those back

in the day but yeah they're like you

know it's like the 240Z where you you

feel like you're in between the back

wheels and it's just all Hood you can

feel that motor out front of you sitting

so far back it feels like the car is

attached to the back of that motor

yeah great choice and kind of I feel

like slept on in the day like I don't

remember being excited about those till

many years after they were out like the

Z4 Roadster got plenty of attention but

I think because the Clown Shoe Z3 Loom

so large they were like oh they wasn't a

shooting break anymore it was a Fastback

although I actually think the Z4

Fastback looks better than the shooting

break controversial opinion I don't know

what the the Productions were versus the

E46 just sedan Coupe I mean for the M3

but I don't feel like I see them often

at all and I think they did a great job

with it what you call a shooting break

the Z3 coupe like it's clown shoot it's

like a shooting break and then the Z4 is

like a fastb which I think is so to your

point the back we three we were like

they fixed it they solved it I'm I'm now

a little bit more into the early quirky

weirdo one but and I I kind of like

those back then but the Z4 when it came

out everybody was like ah it's beautiful

instead of it's quirky it wasn't a

quirky car it was a like a fast awesome

cool looking car I really like that car

and they've got the does it has the

double bubble roof I think a little bit

too does it yeah it has a Groove down

the center of the roof so you get a

little bit of that yeah cool great

choice all right Randy hopefully that

wasn't your choice not not even close I

love that you picked that I like that

car a lot um I am six-speed swapped

Aston

Vanquish are you kidding I mean what a

great daily car that car was made from

02 to 07 Bond it was It was a by then

they coming out of the factory with that

six feed in there you get them it did

did you or you had to send them back to

the factory it came with the gear it's

like the SMG BMW it's the same gearbox

you just have to switch the shifting

mechanism to make it a like a manual

even consider it as my choice with the

bad gearbox in it that car I mean it

came out in the Bond movie in

2002 and is still I still see them pop

up on bat and I was like should I get

one of those like I think they're so

cool I love the proportions on that car

I think it's super killer so anyway that

car uh we listed one way back in the day

which was pretty remarkable that we had

a six-speed swap I'm trying to find if

we've listed other six-speed swaps I

think we have't in an ' 06 we l an

11,000 mile 06 with it Vanquish s with a

sixspeed swap in 2017 a million years

ago for

1325 this was one of those first cars

that where people were doing that a lot

though where they were like after the

fact though right like this stuff came

out the V10 M5 all these things came out

with these mechanized gear boxes

everybody's like oh the future this is

going to be awesome and then two years

later they're like can we swap all of

these away the first Volkswagen GTI with

a dual clutch came out they're like f

the single clutches and then the the

Torches got lit yeah the duel the dels

were necessary but anyway this I'm I'm

totally into this car Gorge I think

those cars look super cool I remember

when that I forget which Bond movie that

is but I think it was the first time

that Aston Martin came back oh man

that's great to the Great too to the

Bond movies before that it had actually

been BMW for a while and so when that

ason Martin came back I remember like an

actual reaction in the theater of just

like so excited to have it and I think

that movie they also Trot it out like

they do every couple years they always

Trot out the dv5 yep yep as they do

Aston keeps that close to Albert

broccoli production ready to try any

reference to Albert broccoli makes me

happy well done yes absolutely

absolutely that's a really really good

one crazy early listing lot 58 5 4 in

2017 man it's a four digigit lock number

manual swap the manual swap I think

we've done other manual swaps we've had

quite a few o there's a lot of manual

swaps in 06 in general because of these

crappy single so like a lot of the

Ferraris are swapped and yeah Aston

doesn't I'm trying to oh people do with

the BMWs right because there were a lot

of SMGs in those and it's the same thing

where correct me if I'm wrong you leave

it's the gearbox is actually the same

it's it's the shifting mechanism that

you change you basically just have a

pump that's running off of the would be

the clutch master right and you're just

essentially you have to add a clutch

pedal and like it gets complicated

because electronics and probably the

gauges are different because you don't

have a a gear selector anymore right I

believe there's ECU swaps are often part

of it as well because otherwise the

computer is confused as gear totally but

then you're not having to roll stop

signs anymore that's right you had to do

it it was required it was required

choice so obviously that excuse did not

work didn't work even close driving

driving some young guy driving some

fancy BMW like run up the rates on that

guy pulled out the aviator's eye contact

motorcycle cop he's not letting my dad

got a same ticket actually in my car

back in like 92 93 or whatever like that

in the district in my SC uh rolling a

stop sign because he want to have to Shi

down want to have to do it tough man

that makes me rethink some of the

choices I've made like because you could

have we had uh E46 wagon that somebody

had M3 swwa they basically made an m

three wagon so what are what are the

rules here we're just we're just making

up cars is that what're that's a real

car on the side so we're not saying this

is what you could have shopped for in 06

it's find a carard that happens to have

the model year6 I don't know you could

have done that in master what is it I

don't know I mean like you could have

had that car in period if you had to

make this sure but we're not playing off

of what came off Factory

floors not strictly why would we be that

strict no because you you can like you

could as say you want certain mods on a

car a certain engine in a car or

whatever I mean if we do 1965 and you

pick some weirdo Barrett Jackson Resto

mod coyote blah blah blah blah you could

do that it's a terrible decision but

we've argued this before whether or not

it has to be like in stock form and also

like to me the biggest concern is like

are you talking about you are yourself

in 2006 at the age now or am I 23y old

me back I think it's the I think it's

the Catal log of 06 built Vehicles like

yeah yeah totally all of them I want

these now I wanted them then and I

thought that would have been cool but I

want these like if we had to pick a

garage downstair you know justification

for higher education garage poster you

know that poster right like if they all

have to be 06 like what do you pick in

there and that's the this list right

it's awesome it does open up a lot of

the site as well because of the fact

that so many moded stuff I also can't

help being presst because because like

this is what I'm into right now as I sit

in this room with you guys right like it

might like I probably wouldn't choose a

black black at 4:30 any other time than

right now because I'm excited and I saw

one right like I would probably choose

something different um that's why I lose

these every time back all right uh thank

you for all the vamping I'm gonna do my

daily it's I'm actually it's another

struggle but I'm gonna follow my heart

yet again I'm gonna do ap2 S2000 this is

a car so good that I actually I now I

had an AP1 but this is I think the first

time I've ever drafted a car that I own

and I put 120,000 miles on that car and

I freaking loved it and I actually do

like the AP1 with 9,000 RPM better but

ap2 is just fine by me and 06 is a

really good year for these cars is CR

available this year no 07 is the first

year of CR would you get a CR if offered

it you wouldn't neither would I well I

would if if if we didn't have to adhere

to Beck strict rules and I could take

the

ugly wing and Chin spoiler off it which

look so awful

yeah totally but I like I like

everything about else about the CR uh

you know the interior and the like all

the other tweaks but that arrow is all

functional but I just find it so ugly

and one of the main reasons I love the

S2000 is I find it so aesthetically

pleasing it's such a clean pretty design

I would have to have a hard top probably

white would be the color for me like

Zach's old car white white the

tachometer on that car alone is one of

the reasons to have it they so good have

you driven one you'd have a hard time

fitting I think but you could drive one

around a little bit but man they're

fantastic and I did daily drive one so

can recommend easy peasy awesome all

right where we going next buddy we going

trucks uh trucks 4x4 pickup this is

really uh just to be clear still 100%

six-speed every car that's been selected

truck changes that it's over that

dream's over

[Music]

maybe okay be what do you got are you

truck guy Beck um you drive a four-wheel

drive to the office almost every day uh

not anymore I guess but the extera I

used to yes I used to used to daily the

extera uh I like him I wasn't raised

around him living in the city uh and so

I'm going to go kind of polar opposite

of what you might expect because I think

this is pretty amazing that it was made

and it's time and I can't imagine being

made again Dodge Ram SRT10 oh great yeah

I'm looking those right now on the side

was on my list great choice you could

retain the sixed dream if you'd like I

think they offered both didn't they they

no there's definitely see he really look

I just found one that's a six speed no

that's what you would take right yes and

you do twoo or four-door that's this is

your this is

your they look better than a short you

would go quad okay quad I think they

look really good the idea to have you

know your whole family in there

experiencing that motor that Viper motor

is just part of the joy of it I think I

love those the question are the rest of

us allowed to pick the two door no

kidding that's too much

he calls his SRT10 it's a good I like

every I like all the sport trucks I like

the lightning I even like the little uh

yeah the extreme uh like everything that

was an attempt at doing a sporty pickup

truck I'm in favor of what's the

something has a is this the one with the

wing one of these has a wing across the

bed which really tiny little like it

goes across the top right which really

kind of reduces the practicality as a

truck but I I would get it in Viper

colors like blue with white Stripes as

well oh they definitely there's a black

one though with short short wheelbase

black one that we

sold so good look at that thing awesome

all right Randy here you go trucks I've

been surfing the truck category I'm

mostly excited 06 was maybe a little bit

of a trough and enthusiasm for trucks a

lot of SUVs on the road man we saw a lot

of Jeep Wranglers man tons of Jeep lots

of of ranges a lot of ranges and a lot

of uh Wranglers and a lot of cayen right

those are out there you can see I'm tap

dancing a little bit before I make my

take your time but I am there's no if

you want me to go first I can there's no

chance we're going to overlap I don't

think oh well now you have me curious

you go I'm I'll go right after you i'

I've got my choice but now I you've

given me the option to have you show

your cards first I'll show my cards I'm

show if I take yours I would be shocked

but you know that's your choice I'm

going to take an Escalade e saw saw

thatt that is a choice that's another I

actually you're taking that by choice

did someone put a gun to your head or

you're taking that by choice my my slow

buddies we were talking exts yesterday

uh or two days ago but Avalanche versus

EXT you love EXT I I'm like Pro Escalade

any era any kind I love them first jet

is tough

dude I like them all honestly dude I I

have to be I have to be real with you I

like all Escalades cuz I like all Chevy

trucks pretty much when you said this is

something they would never make now I

was like oh no he's not going to take

EXT is he they make a vspec of that did

they no there is a Cadillac es now but

no not back then but this is um and they

came in that green like emerald green

color we've had a couple low mileage

examples of them in that color how many

EXT truck beds do you think have never

been touched most most what what's the

overlap on uh Lincoln Blackwood beds

versus is that I was rolling and Lincoln

blackwoods come up I was like oh gosh is

somebody somebody going to choose that I

hope nobody chooses um so I'm pretty

sure I didn't steal yours there Randy uh

you absolutely didn't um also I could be

the first one to not pick a sixspeed

manual that's the first non sixspeed

manual for the whole draft so far

interesting so I'm gonna pick a weird

one that's going to make sure that I

lose the Instagram competition which is

there's a couple interesting ones first

of all we were talking about BMWs the X5

5 4.8 is is an unusual vehicle which is

pretty cool but if you've already chosen

the E60 M5 it's like the same car in a

different form factor Bros had both of

those in the regular the BMW I can

handle if there's one garage and you

walk into and it has both of those I I

think that's like upsetting he just rubs

it with a diaper yeah yeah that's weird

so I'm goinging super weird deep cut

that nobody's going to understand so

there was no Jeep pickup at that point

you have to transport yourself to 06

that product was 10 or 15 years away I

mean that product was like late when did

they introduce the Gladiator

2018 way later but was a four rangler I

don't know I don't think so but there

was a who was an awesome company I say

was I think they've been acquired by

Chrysler or something like they're at

dealers now but they made the pickup

conversion before it was cool they made

the Scrambler Jeep conversion by custom

making the bed and the body a buddy mine

has one of these I love these they made

two and four-door this is a twoo this is

Lot number

one65

853 this sold in November of 24 those

things are awesome and they were super

built for off-road and the suspension

was a was the best Jeep modifier at that

point in my opinion and they made these

into pickups and that is what I would

pick as extremely that one is also great

color is that stock they didn't put V8s

in them it's still stock swap engines

but often they didn't back then um did

those have a straight six still I don't

I think V6

by does our writer tell us oh they've

got to they Wills four ler in line so

still in line I don't know those Jeeps

have ever had a V6 until way more recent

interesting so anyway yeah the

Gladiators up have a V6 six speed this

one has a six speed man all right

keeping it alive so anyway I like that

vehicle a lot I think that's I wanted

one of those badly back then that's also

probably one of those that's one of

those things where I always find this

interesting where you take kind of a a

normal car and spend like superar prices

on it to get it where you want yeah I

bet these were expensive right all

custom I forget if they're in Michigan I

think a may be in Michigan that's why

they're kind of tied in with the oems up

there but anyway super cool they still

make cool stuff but the the brutes of

old were now I think they still make it

and it's like why don't I just go buy a

gladiator but back then it was really

something different extremely good pick

all right everything but my EXT is a

sixspeed still and almost no turbos I

think my STI the oh no and the Volvos a

turbos two turbos but like this is again

like all na all six speeed pretty much

wild all right speaking of wild wild

cards that was an unintentional segue

back this is hard this is hard I'm I'm I

don't have this selected have so many

good

honor place I have like a ton of

interesting stuff left so I haven't

picked a Porsche yet I was very tempted

to do uh Cayenne Turbo S for truck that

would have been interesting be good all

right for wild card I mean I'm I'm

basically making the decision at this

very moment because I can't I'm just so

split up uh but I'm just going to go

with the most extreme wild one on my

list here which is going to be a Salan

S7 oh great wow was made at that point

that was they were still making they

still made them for a couple years after

this and you could send them this is

first year of the twin turbo competition

we've sold earlier model years of

competitions because similar to Aston

Martin you could send them back uh oh

you upgrade them constantly yeah uh

We've sold two or three on the site we

had one through white glove a couple

years ago when I sort of went on a deep

dive another fun thing for wild card I

feel like was to go to look at what was

raced at lont that year that's the page

I'm on right now that is the page I am

on and then go the street car variant of

those Panos espir was another one that

was like that's it's like the 612 kind

of looks like a weird fish at the bottom

of the oce they're cool and it's not

something you want in your in your

amazing that they were race at Lama but

other than that yeah saline S7 twin

turbo competition for 2006 okay I got

you they twin I have a hard time

charting the history of those to start

with right and in Twin Turbo versions

and competition and then later there was

an LM variant right which a lot of them

got upgraded to that spec that's right

okay gotcha fantastic really really good

all right Randy you have you made a

selection yet or no so good I'm looking

through alms lagona sea 2006 pictures

right now man hit us with some of the

cars there are some well there's some

good stuff let's look at it together I

mean the Audi TDI were running right the

diesel and then db9r yeah db9r and then

F430 challenge orever those F430

SP the DHL c those are awesome those are

pretty cool those are trading in the

private Market be on my on my long list

for card um just some whatever GT3 GT2

RS some Corvette race cars c6r different

c6r well done Beck something like that

there's your Panos in the background R

is really good also on my Wild Card

list that's a didn't Bruce Meer have one

of those in his was that a c6r or was

that a different car no it was a c6r

the c5r was kind of a turet it didn't

win and the c6r is when they started

dominating and then c7r same thing I'm

weirdly at Lama and 06 just because I

recently looked it up there was a c5r

still being raced at it but c6r did

substantially better I went to American

Lamas series at Laguna in 99 and there

was a c5r and it was slower than the 993

GT like it was like the the class lower

were faster than the than that car and

it was supposed to be racing against

those remember those vipers that were so

dominant they were kind of in mid tier

class are they are vipers still running

at that point I'm not seeing any vipers

in these pictures no but there's Street

vipers which I thought about there's the

second gen kind of the unloved second

gen Viper

2006 but they were coups and

convertibles remember that they weren't

taras anymore or whatever the windows

and yep correct I mean I'm I pick before

you Alex so I'm sorry go ahead sorry in

advance go ahead but nobody has chosen

an E46

product

and for wild card it has to be it has to

be the race car it has to be the alms

race car I would do either the white and

blue Livery or the Yokohama Livery those

are V8 powered I believe actually that

body they put both what's it called

called GT what's the name of it GTR GTR

okay they did both six-cylinder and V8

versions I think for different classes

and different or maybe that was over

different years I'm not sure exactly

what 06 was there'll be some E46 experts

that can correct Us in the comments but

those cars were cool I also saw those

cars race at lagona and you got to have

an E46 M3 in it's 2006 you don't have

one of those like what are we doing

somebody's is the V8 out of the

X5 uh the V8 it's not out of the M5 I

don't know what the basis was was it

just the 4.4 it's an S engine it's not a

m engine but what would it have been in

that I think it would have been the X5

39 M5 motor like wound up could have

been the carryover from either I don't I

mean they weren't doing turbo stuff yeah

I don't know I don't know what it was it

is out of something I was looking at the

page earlier and it it's it's out of

something it's an

S60 maybe I can't remember exactly what

it is I'm looking at the one right now

number 21 GT2 class Yokohama ADV van

performance friction breaks BMW

Financial

Services all the stuff right I mean it's

great and we've seen actually we got to

go to the site and figure out because I

tracked the sale of a few of these in

the early days it wasn't we've never bet

auction one but um the liveries on those

are really good there's like a the one

you just showed us is a really really

good Livery I forget what the the other

one was for a bank or something though

the white and blue one actually no I

have no M3 GTR coming up on B so who

knows whether we covered it or not

anyway that's my choice race car wild

card should be for race car often yes in

my opinion or something really maniacal

um and that thing is super cool there's

my choice that's really really good uh

presumably that is got to be a

sequential because race cars are all

sequential by then but the saline is

still a clutch manual transmission or is

it a automat semi automatic okay some

what was your your choice was race car

or street car I was I would do street

car street car awesome okay um I thought

about doing something basic here that

may help me in the standings but instead

I'm G to follow my heart this is the car

I've thought about the most since I

started doing research I'm going to pick

for 2006 a smart Roadster Brabus I saw

that c

I liked these in period And I still

really like them smart cars do nothing

for me but the smart Roadster is a very

different program I saw one recently

somewhere they're tiny they kind of

remind me of like little six like

Berkeley and stuff the stuff in in the

60s that were almost like cycle cars you

know these definitely so this one we've

only ever listed one of them and it was

in 2016 as a here at whim prince in nspr

Netherlands for € 17,000 I think they're

it's a deep cut so goodlooking and the

bris motor takes it from like 40 horse

to like a 100 it's a three-cylinder like

650 CC and Mercedes-Benz power correct

but then there's a I just learned about

it from our listing there's a twin turbo

version which has 170 horsepower in that

little tiny thing a bris twin turbo

three cylinder 700cc or 650cc whatever

it is uh I've thought they were really

cool looking there's nothing else like

them um it's like an auto Zam or

something you know it's like a toy kind

of but man I think they're really cool

my British brother-in-law has been

talking about smart roadsters ever since

he moved here really it's kind of a

forgotten car I feel like right like

when was the last

time know right when was the last time

you had a smart Roadster conversation

this probably the first one you've had

uh anyway that's my choice it's weird

cement's my loss but I think it's really

really cool has to be bravis twin turbo

top comment on that car from 2020 so

four years after the story it's

interesting Dynamic some dude named

skyflyer 56 said I tried to buy both the

legal roadsters in the US one was sold

by Beverly Hills Motorcars but was on

show and display title with limited

driving able the other was titled as a

78 Mercedes Roadster no both seemed too

risky so I passed one now lives in the

Seattle area and the other is in the

southwest somewhere so that's 5-year-old

info amazing Telephone Game info who

knows if that's true right maybe we'll

see what in Arizona this weekend right

if you're out there and you're bringing

it to Scottdale you get the best parking

space if you bring a smart Roadster to

autocar Club in Scottdale this Saturday

I will be there and we'll guide you to

the front of the line oh man and Alex

will have a check for you and all the

guys with the GT3 rs's will stomp their

feet and be so mad that a smart Roadster

is more interesting it takes up so

little room it's

problem right under the T slight tease

that I forgot to give you somebody

allegedly bringing a group b 308 rally

car you'll be okay with that will that

may that's going to occupy the best

parking spot that will be directly in

front of the tent with me just standing

licking the glass that car will be front

and center until the smart Roadster

shows up then I am personally gonna ask

the 308 owner to fire it up and move to

to uh position two so the smart Roadster

can pull in I love that cuz I searched

2006 broadly on the site to try to find

what to talk about today and that car I

was like whoa what is that thing I

didn't know we featured one of those but

it wasn't in the US it's just another

car that I've always been fascinated

with and yeah I just loved it and you

know wild card is for some weirdo stuff

so there you go all right let me recap

and then we can do honorable mentions we

uh really got into it today boys thank

you you brought it you brought your aame

all right uh Beck for sports car Carrera

GT sixspeed they're all six speeds but

it has a sixspeed family v70r sixspeed

daily driver Z4 M Coupe also a six-speed

truck Ram SRT10 also a six-speed Wild

Card saline S7 and we don't we we think

that that's an I think that's a

six-speed manual dude I think you're all

sixspeed manual let me look at that uh

Randy sports car 4 GT non Heritage

amazing uh family hauler V10 M5 E60 I

looked up the the gal with the glasses

that's exactly what I was thinking of

that's what I see Dame Edna six feed on

that as well uh daily driver for Randy

is an Aston Martin Vanquish six-speed

swap uh truck is an a Wrangler truck

swap they're brute right yeah brute a

brute yeah also with a six speeed and

then Wild Card which is really good E46

M3 race car the GTR for me sports car

F430 coupe with a stick uh gated family

uh hauler WRX STI sixspeed daily driver

ap2 S2000 with a hard top those are all

six speeds uh truck Escalade EXT and

green that could also be family holler

that's actually maybe my best pick I

just want to say that uh wild card for

me is a bris smart Roadster by Turbo

there we are how do we feel I actually

think it was rich in Opportunity agree I

mean I was like oh six what the heck are

we going to choose almost all of those

are super awesome I know right I would

actually be happy with either of your

guys' garages totally right like those

are amazing and I think you bringing up

the whole sixspeed continuity was a

surprise to me I didn't actually really

track that while I was putting it

together but you are correct saling S7

is a six speeed Y and that's right we're

coming off of five speeds six speeds and

then no speeds yeah correct and that's I

think what's important about those mid

almost everything is uh in normally

aspirated too that's still considered

the fastest option is the six speeed

totally hold on how many is there one

Porsche C GT out the only 15 cars

there's no GT3 yet I'm at a podcast with

and Alex and one out of 15 was a Porsche

that's like some sort of miracle I wrote

down Cayman as a daily driver and I

wrote down a 997 C2 just Carrera as like

a daily driver or a sports car but like

you said before we started recording

you're like not a great time for Porsche

my backup for daily driver was a Cayman

S first year and then backup for wild

card was a roof oh what's roof that

rt2 a turbo that's the in Stills because

there is no GT3 op that's right yeah

okay gotcha what car is that uh it's a

997 based 997 roof turbo they didn't

have a turbo yet okay couple could be

worse couple honorable mentions this is

an amazing car no one shows it I

understand why but C6 Z6 a great car

fantastic those are great I probably

should have p i mean the the M3 GTR race

car is near and dear but the vet race

car is probably a better car and

probably one more they're so goodl

looking oh man I like them a lot um comp

you serve always serve liy uh gardo six

Speedo those gated manual when those

came out I thought those were cool I

still like them a lot um R32 mark five

R32 golf with a six speed that's

inter uh you mentioned Saab was still

around um on my kind of long list for

family hauler 93 Arrow the sport Combi

the wagon 93 Arrow those are six speed

there's also the WRX Saab that year the

92 is that what it's called it's a WRX

wagons dude sabaro they called them SAU

that's right those are Dreadful but

they're WX engine I think it's

just well if you drive one like you

can't take yourself seriously driving

that what do you drive I I don't know

what I drive I drive it's maybe a Saab

it's maybe a subie what is it but it's a

wag which I like so no STI wag those

were that seemed like a super stretch

Subaru option for pickup though I remove

that from

the just do the Subaru other Subaru for

pickup option Subaru Baja I saw the Baja

XL would that count as truck 4x4 I guess

it come on it's like a brat count for

sure for sure that counts STS and and

CTSV I just want to say it again like a

lot of good V and the even the XLR which

I like and the XLR V most terrifying

axle hop I've ever experienced it's in a

CTSV customer card service department no

no no inventory used car at some service

department some service manager and I

were going out to lunch I was working at

BMW I was like oh let's take that that

looks awesome he's like you drive it you

kind of dumped the clutch a little bit

and it was like and I was like oh my

gosh what I I just killed your car

terrifying killed a customer's car I

hope not um any other honorable mentions

from you guys I I uh I'll just repeat it

again we we kind of mentioned in past

name but the uh F430 challenge is

extremely sick that year Dodge Viper

SRT10 Coupe so obviously not pickup

obviously but that one looks lot like

GTS but I feel like it just sort of C

out for GT I remember those were really

I got really excited when the second gen

Viper came out because I thought it

looked great but then the third gen came

out so much it's really good looking the

last Viper I like all of those like I

was showing you guys pictures

technically the 2007 Porsche GT3 997

came out in 06 in or was built in

December I don't know when they started

selling them but um no I saw my first

one in December of 2006 and I love that

I still love that car that car is sort

of restrained in its style compared to

the modern ones it's probably a moving

chicane now at a track day compared to a

992 or whatever but I still love that

car um and yeah I got to I got to drive

one of those December what is it

December 5th my photo app is telling me

2006 so that's technically in the year

we're talking about but it's a 2007 car

but speed yellow you showed us that

picture incredible speed yellow the

cover car for excellence mag driving

around somoma with the hel on they're

like Randy please hide your face yeah

with a helmet on yeah I was not my face

was not allowed to be on that but if

somebody goes and digs up I bet it's

like a March Edition maybe February

Excellence magazine 2007 you there with

Pete Stout Pete was running the magazine

at that time and my buddy and I were

called up with a three series wagon to

be the camera car in front of it and

Pete sat in the back of the wagon with

the tailgate open lapping we did like

four laps of Sonoma at sunup we had to

be there at 5: in the morning and uh set

up for that and got some amazing photos

that I still have on my phone apparently

so anyway that's but that's a cool car

997 GT3 is a great car but we couldn't

use it for this game we'll do 07 we'll

get there sometime 07 that would give

pick

for sports car probably we'll get there

at some point the one of the things I

worry about doing this like in years

that are close together like everyone's

going to want largely like S2000 C6 so

you got to have some it's got to be a

buffer right right there's not many

years where there's like a huge change

over in all the models but what's the M

you gota you got to go by like foury

year increments right I mean if it's an

ajason year like I'm picking most of the

same yeah I've thought about this a

little bit like if I had a different

crew in here with very different tastes

and we did it a year from now like doing

07 maybe is not that big of a deal

because like to your point there's a lot

of stuff that we didn't hit here yeah

right lot more is that an interesting

show topic same year again you can't

pick any of these you have to go deeper

than these I think it is we've we've

also flirted with and you have teased

multiple times like doing all trucks or

all BMWs or whatever and I think that's

interesting too or like some of the car

shows that are like no Porsches allowed

yeah love all those shows back where are

those send me their information but that

could be one of them because there's to

your credit there's some categories that

are just like obvious what you kind of

have to pick first especially for a

sports car we just that's to the space

we live in but uh it's also why I think

honorable mentions is sometimes the best

conversation of these games because

that's when you start to dig out the

weird thing that you just couldn't sort

of sink your teeth if you're Z and you

need to win you can't pick

it it's so pleasant playing this game

When We're Not Gonna Get Smoked by

Zach well you all walk it's like walking

in knowing that you're playing whatever

Manchester United like competing for

second place we're competing for second

place totally no points for second Point

that's right the plaque for the

alternates you know where to find that

little Randy um so anyway any other

parting shots gentlemen anything else uh

this is going out before this weekend

it's no it's not going to so we're

talking about Arizona which will be in

the past 10 blew that I blew that anyway

nice seeing you all in Arizona it was

great that smart Roadster and that 308

were fantastic is it the 308 that was on

the site the Greg blue modified 308 oh

interesting I bet Greg's got cars in

Arizona I don't know but his do cars are

so fantastic this was it this was the

one that he sold let me see that let me

see that come on baby I need light bet

why didn't you buy that I know this is a

martini liy 308 that's mod one that you

showed me too with coffin B but that's

us on B it was in Hawaii on B8 that's

our Guy Greg blue

who flipflop photos driving around group

E cars what Lot number is that uh that
