Edwards Life Sciences is a company that makes medical devices for heart problems. In the story, they’re mentioned because someone received a heart valve.
The Subaru Uncharted sounds like a specific Subaru model name that the podcast is calling the best choice. It may be a special version or a particular vehicle being discussed in that moment. More details from the episode would help confirm exactly what it is.
This is a Porsche 911 in a “Targa” style, which is a kind of open-top roof design. The hosts are saying this particular one is special because it has very low miles and wasn’t really used.
“Numbers matching” means key parts of the car still have the same IDs they had when it left the factory. Collectors care because it helps prove the car is original rather than rebuilt with different parts.
Topic
Final inspection at the dealership
A “final inspection” is the last step where the dealership checks the car before it’s ready to be sold or handed over. It’s basically a last quality check.
The Aston Martin DB9 is a luxury sports car meant for comfortable long-distance driving. It’s known for its distinctive design and driving feel. It’s brought up because people associate it with Aston Martin’s lineup and reputation.
The Jaguar I-PACE is an electric SUV made by Jaguar. It’s designed to be practical like an SUV but powered by electricity. The conversation sounds like it’s mentioning it because it looks good and stands out.
Front track is how wide the car is at the front, measured from one front wheel to the other. Making it wider can help the car feel more stable and handle better.
Rear track is how wide the car is at the back, measured between the rear wheels. A wider rear stance can change how the car grips and feels in corners.
Turns lock to lock is how many steering-wheel rotations it takes to go from full left to full right. Fewer turns (like “two turns lock to lock”) means quicker steering response, which the host links to more “spirited” handling.
A gated manual is a traditional stick shift where the shifter has a clear gear pattern. It feels more precise and mechanical than some other shifting setups.
An airbag is a safety cushion that pops out in a crash to help protect you. The host is pointing out that older cars sometimes had bigger, more noticeable airbag housings.
Audi’s first R8 V8 is a mid-engine supercar. The host is comparing it to the Ferrari F355 to describe the driving feel—how it feels light and likes to rev.
The “red line” is the top safe engine speed (RPM). Revving near it is where the engine is designed to feel strongest, but going past it can be risky for the engine.
The Ferrari F355 is a classic Ferrari sports car with a mid-mounted V8 that likes to rev. Here, the hosts are talking about buying one and then having it customized/restomodded, so it’s the starting point for the project.
Left-hand drive means the steering wheel is on the left side of the car. Different countries use different setups, and the hosts are saying the shop can build/return the car in the correct driving configuration.
Singer is an automotive brand best known for restomods—high-end restorations and modernizations of classic Porsche 911s. In this segment, the hosts compare the Ferrari F355’s interior and design philosophy to “a Singer,” meaning the level of craftsmanship and modernization.
Company
Avaluto
Avaluto is the company the hosts are attributing the restomod work to. They’re saying the customized Ferrari F355 came back as a finished, improved car from that shop.
A deep-dish steering wheel is shaped so the wheel sits more toward the driver, with a deeper, sportier look. The hosts are praising it as one of the interior upgrades.
Gunther Works is a company that takes classic Ferraris and does high-end work on them. The point here is that the car feels really well finished because it was built by a specialist shop.
A prototype is an early version of something before it’s fully finished. In this case, it’s an early version of the car they’re testing to see how it works in the real world.
A turbocharger is a device that forces extra air into the engine. More air (and oxygen) helps the engine make more power, especially when conditions make it harder to breathe.
A front end lift is a feature that raises the front of the car to help it clear bumps or ramps. It’s usually meant for short moments when you need extra ground clearance.
OEM means the original parts made by the car’s manufacturer. Saying it feels like an OEM means it looks and fits like it belongs on the car from the factory.
The BMW M3 is a sporty BMW that’s made to drive fast and handle well. People talk about it a lot because it’s one of BMW’s performance models. It may be mentioned because someone owns or remembers a specific M3.
McGuire's makes car cleaning and detailing products. The host is saying their new kits bundle the right stuff together so you don’t have to figure out what to buy for each cleaning task.
A “quick solution kit” is a ready-made bundle of car cleaning supplies. Instead of picking everything separately, the kit gives you the products and tools for a particular cleaning job.
The Porsche Boxster is a sports car made by Porsche, and it’s designed to feel balanced and fun to drive. Many versions are convertibles with the top that can come off. It’s often mentioned when people talk about sporty cars and driving feel.
Topic
How the car looks in photos vs in person
They’re pointing out that the car can look different depending on the camera shot. What looks “snouty” in a photo may look more balanced when you see it in person.
A restomod is a classic car that gets updated with newer technology and comfort features. The goal is to keep the old car’s style, but make it easier to live with day to day.
The Chevrolet Corvette is a sports car from Chevrolet that’s built for speed and performance. Different years and generations can look quite different. The conversation sounds like it’s comparing how one Corvette style relates to another.
A CAD drawing is a computer-based design file used to plan the shape of a product. Instead of sketching only by hand, designers model it on a computer so it’s easier to build accurately.
Fiberglass is a light material used for body parts. Using it can reduce weight, which can make a car feel quicker and more responsive.
Car
Singer 9-Elevens
Singer makes special, heavily modified versions of the Porsche 911. The host is saying that even with all the changes, it can still be surprising to people who aren’t used to this kind of restomod.
Barrett-Jackson is a famous car auction where collectors bid on rare cars. The hosts are using it as an example of how much money collectible cars can bring.
The Chevrolet Chevelle is an older American muscle car. The podcast mentions a 1970 model, which is a well-known year for this car. People talk about it because it’s a classic and has a strong enthusiast following.
They’re quoting a stopwatch-style performance number. It measures how quickly the car can cover a set distance, which is a standard way to compare how fast cars are.
A “three motor” electric car uses three electric motors to drive the wheels. The host is saying that having three motors (instead of two) changes how the car can control power to different wheels. That can affect how it accelerates and turns.
The Model S is Tesla’s electric sedan, meaning it runs on electricity instead of gasoline. It’s known for being quick and for having enough range for longer drives. The podcast is comparing it to other Tesla models and setups.
A “two motor” electric car uses two electric motors to move the car. In this discussion, the host says both motors are on the rear axle, which affects how the car can control power while turning. That can change the car’s cornering feel.
Torque vectoring means the car can “push” different wheels with different amounts of power. That helps the car turn more easily and stay stable when you’re cornering. It’s like the car actively adjusts which wheels get the most drive force.
The Audi RS 3 is a high-performance version of a regular Audi compact car. It’s made to help you drive faster, especially when turning corners. The podcast is talking about how it feels when you push it around a bend.
This phrase means the car can give the outside wheel more power than you’d normally expect while turning. That can help the car rotate and follow the corner better. It’s a result of how the drivetrain controls torque between wheels.
Comfort mode is a driving setting that makes the car feel smoother and less aggressive. It can soften how the car responds to your inputs. The host is saying they used it while driving around town.
The Lucid Gravity is an electric SUV made by Lucid. It’s meant to be a bigger, more practical electric vehicle for everyday use. The conversation sounds like it’s talking about how people view it and why.

Brand
Pocket Hose Ballistic
Pocket Hose Ballistic is a brand/product for a small, portable garden hose. They’re advertising a deal that includes extra parts.
“Under the car” aerodynamics means the shape of the bottom of the vehicle helps push it down onto the road. That extra grip helps the car take turns faster and feel more stable.
The Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro is a super-expensive, track-focused hypercar. It’s designed to stick to the road using lots of advanced aerodynamics, so it can go faster around corners.
An “F1 car” is a Formula 1 race car. They’re designed to be extremely fast and grippy, so comparisons like this usually come down to track conditions and how much downforce and power the cars have.
“1.6 liter” is the engine’s size, based on how much volume the cylinders have. A smaller engine can still be very powerful, especially with modern technology.
Wheelbase is how far apart the front and rear wheels are on a car. Making it longer can change how the car rides and how stable it feels, and it also changes the car’s overall shape.
A hybrid uses both a gas engine and an electric motor/battery. If you remove the hybrid parts, the car runs only on the gas engine, which changes how it delivers power.
The Porsche 918 Spyder is a very rare, extremely fast sports car. It uses a mix of electric power and a gas engine. It may be mentioned because it’s a special, high-tech supercar in the performance conversation.
LIVE
Welcome to Spikes Car Radio, Zuckerman is in Honduras, but Johnny Lieberman is here.
Back on the show.
Is he getting stem cells?
What's that?
What's he doing?
Can I have Johnny off my monitor, please?
I've got a giant Johnny Lieberman on my monitor.
It's bad enough I have to have him here.
Just kidding.
Just joking.
And we've got a great big show full of cars.
We're loaded with cars.
We have three cars today.
You can see one over my shoulder right there.
Look at that.
That's the Stark Speedster.
Fresh from air and water.
Then over the two shot, you'll probably be able to see.
Oh, yeah, look, the Evoluto.
This is called the Ferrari 355 Evoluto.
Not Ferrari, just 355 by Evoluto.
There's a lawsuit.
No Ferrari.
OK, yep.
They want to avoid a lawsuit.
They want to avoid lawsuits.
And then we have a Lucid to talk about.
I'm just back from a couple of weeks back
from Long Beach, Grand Prix, which was nice.
I was there with the with Ray Hall, Letterman,
Lannigan Racing, RL Racing, Graham Ray Hall and Bobby Ray Hall,
old friends. It was good to catch up with them.
And going with a group called Edwards Life Sciences, who
they fix hearts.
Oh, I mean, they make a heart valve.
You might actually.
You might. We all might.
Well, Lannigan apparently had one of those situations
and he's he's been racing.
He used to be Paul Newman's race.
Yeah. Paul Newman Lannigan, like Lannigan.
Apparently he he was feeling ill and was going to go to bed.
And they said if he had gone, it was one of those situations.
Right. Had he gone to sleep, he wouldn't have woken up.
But doesn't not waking up kind of sound nice.
It sounds great.
The sweet relief of death.
We've spoken about many times on the show.
I was just saying.
But he got one of these Edward Life Science valves in him.
And he's like he's fresh as a daisy.
Hung out with him a lot.
We talked about Paul Newman and racing there.
It was fantastic.
But if you're watching the show and you're over 50, over 65,
you should definitely get checked.
And it was fun being there.
And and they said, you want to do you want to get your heart
checked on Good Morning America?
And I said, who doesn't?
Yeah.
That would not have been my answer.
Do I get to wear a hospital journey?
There it is. But no, look, this is all that's a nice shot.
You can't see.
But someone's got their finger up my ass right there.
No, that's not true.
Oh, that hurts.
It was two people.
No, when they say, look, you're checking your heart.
Look, this is all they had to do.
They just took my blood pressure and they used a little
A.I. stethoscope.
But did they say, hey, this is Spike Ferrison or just some
random guy? Oh, look, look, go to the next clip.
Look at this. You'll see that.
This is the Good Morning America piece.
Oh, OK. Everybody.
That's me coming off the bus.
And there I am.
Spokesperson for Edwards Life Sciences.
Saying it was really easy.
And I guess I'm now I can add this to my resume.
Yeah. Yeah.
And you look like the average 60 year old.
Thank you.
You look like you're 40.
No, I kind of don't like the way I look.
But you look young.
Imagine my surprise and my mother's surprise
seeing that I was now a spokesperson for Edwards Life
Sciences, not the host of Spikes at our radio,
not writer, producer of many films and movies that people
love, be movies and unfrosted or or even Seinfeld.
I am now Spike Ferrison, spokesperson for Edward Life
Sciences. I'm trying to think of a delicate way to say this
knowing you better than the people listening and knowing
that your son's here.
But if you rewind the clock back to you when you came from
New York to LA, did you ever think you'd be a spokesman
for our company?
I mean, I can tell I was not up for spokesperson of
Edwards Life Sciences.
I was up for customer.
Most likely I was up for customer.
But yeah, no, this is pretty cool.
And guess what?
We're bringing the Spike Ferrison spokesperson for
Edward Life Sciences to the Indy 500.
Yeah, I'm going to the Indy 500.
Fun.
My friend Matt Ferris is going to be there.
Yeah, nice.
We're having a movie premiere for, I guess, Dave and Bobby
Ray Hall and Lennigan did a documentary about their journey
with heart disease and they're going to premiere the movie at
the Indy 500.
Red Carpet and everything else.
If you want to see the trailer for it, it's right here.
You can check out this link right there.
But thank you.
And that's at the end of May, right?
Last weekend in May is the Indy 500.
Yeah, yeah, close, close, close.
And but you can check out the stay in the race film at
getyourvalvescheck.com.
But yeah, if you see me at the Indy 500, come say hello.
It's going to be fun.
I've never seen the race, have you?
I've never been.
And I watch it every year, but I've never been.
It's amazing how many of us haven't gone.
Matt hasn't gone either.
I hear it's the best time.
Yeah.
Everyone's ever gone says, if you give you one thing before
you die, go to the Indy 500.
It's what David Letterman said to me in the 90s.
Yeah.
And now, you know, I'll be back there.
Good thing you listened.
Well, yeah, I didn't, but I'm going to be back there.
And Dave will be there.
That's awesome.
You know, it was fun to catch up with Graham and the team.
You know, it immediately just gets in there, you know, you're
there and you're just watching it.
You're hearing the story and you're seeing the qualifying.
You just, I get crazy.
It was fun.
So now, and the Ray Halls are, I know, I know Graham a little bit.
And they're, yeah, they're just, they're great.
It's a good team.
Yeah, it's fun.
It's also what I get to catch you up on some other stuff here.
There's a lot going on.
Okay.
Spikes car radio nation.
Pacific Palisades is having its first big car show.
Well, Pacific Palisades Motor Classic.
I've been speaking to the organizers, our friend, the Canyon Carver.
Do you know that guy is involved?
Oh boy.
Um, all of the proceeds.
This is June 13th, nine to three.
This is the first time they've done a car show in the Palisades.
As you know, they suffered a catastrophic fire last year, was it?
Or the year before?
Is it?
January 25.
Yeah.
January 7th.
There's no one left to complain.
So we can, we can come in.
We can have this giant car show.
Wow.
Uh, I spoke to the organizer yesterday.
I think Mr. Leno is going to go.
I'm going to the whole, everybody that we know locally, this is, we should turn
this into something.
Okay.
So check these guys out.
Go to this website right here.
Ingram will put the link in the lower third right there.
All of the proceeds, every, all the proceeds are benefiting the YMCA and Pacific
Palisades.
Oh, why does that matter?
That's Jack Ferreston over there.
Jack, why does that matter?
Because he's on a mic.
He, all the kids at the high schools and the local kids use that to work out.
It's really cool.
Like they go there and they train in the gym.
And it was really a shame when the whole thing burned down.
So booths, vendors, judging, fun, nobody to complain.
June 13th, nine to three.
I, I talked to the guy, I go, you know, when we talk about this in the show, it's
going to blow, you know, they've already done a great job getting the world out,
but this is going to bring it to a new level and, you know, and then he, and he
said, you know, let it, let it grow, let it be fun.
And, uh, when everybody moves back in in a year or two, they'll shut us down.
But great.
Right now, even Lamborghini guys are invited.
So, so come on and check it out.
You know, just a couple of things here in the race for the James Ferrisdon car.
We have a winner, the Subaru uncharted.
Here it is.
Right.
I saw it parked out front.
It's parked out there.
I stole it.
There's a picture of it.
These, uh, we're going to throw up.
Cool.
I can't believe how good these cars are.
I still haven't driven this uncharted yet.
I can't believe how affordable it is and how good it is.
Linda from Subaru Sherman Oaks delivered the car and she had never driven it before.
And she said, now I know why we can't keep these things on the lot.
Like, she goes, this drives like a hundred thousand dollar car.
And I go, you know what, Linda?
That's what I said on the show and people made fun of me, but you just said the same thing.
You know, it's so funny.
There it is.
So funny.
Remember how, remember how like two months ago, everyone had written EVs off?
EVs are dead.
Yeah.
I was, I was in Georgia with Hyundai at their, at their Meta plant.
They were, they build the onyx five and the onyx nine from February to March.
Guess how big the jump in their EV sales one, one month, February to March.
Well, there's a war.
I love one month.
Gas prices now $20 a gallon.
One month, the Hyundai, Hyundai USA or North America.
How much it's gone up?
39.8% in one month, but one month.
And that's not even like March to April or gas prices of rent.
Suddenly like, oh yeah, EVs make a lot of sense because it does.
But also like this generation, the kids, they don't want to have to work to pay for gas.
So they're like, I'll get an EV and I can just charge it.
My parents.
Right.
Yeah.
So that, that figures into it too.
But look, I drove this thing again and just went and I took it this morning.
I had a couple of things to drive.
I had a 718.
I had a Bronco.
The other, the kid was sleeping.
I stole it and it was like, this is my life is going to be easy.
I had it on the highway.
It was driving itself.
It's a fantastic thing.
Dude, we'll get, we'll get to the Sapphire.
I have a Lucid Sapphire, which 1234 horsepower.
But what I was driving last week was a 600 horsepower, the air touring.
It's the perfect car.
There's literally nothing wrong with this car.
It's just, it's, yeah, it's amazing.
We're, we're, we're going to have a company.
Anyway, Dom and Fonte from Subaru, thank you.
He provided us with a terrific deal.
Nice.
Dom's the best.
He's a good guy.
We like Dom.
We're at the odd drain with him.
And then lastly, this is all just business that we're catching up with.
We sold the Zagato.
Oh, you did.
Zagato has been sold.
How much?
We picked up these two cars for that same amount of money.
So what we sold the Zagato for, we bought these two Seinfeld cars.
What you're looking at is one we haven't spoken about.
We're going to bring it on the show, but that was sitting for sale on
Cabiglio Garage and it had a distracting title.
It said Dutch police car.
Now it turns out it was supposed to be a Dutch police car.
It had been damaged in the right rear fender there when it was delivered.
It never went into operation.
It sat in a warehouse.
Do you know what that means?
No, that means it was never driven.
It's a 71 9 11 T Targa with a rear windshield wiper with none of the cop stuff.
Well, why would the Dutch want to target for a police car?
That seems really weird.
They did.
And they would drive around with their helmets sticking out the top.
We've heard.
And you know, I have no idea.
But another way of looking at this car is it's an ultra low mileage early 9 11
with no miles on it.
So it currently has a little over 2000 miles and everything on it is original.
And there's no police crap on it except for the license plate.
We're going to bring it on the show.
We're going to tell the whole story.
Is it a valuable car?
I don't know anything about ultra low mileage.
Seventy ones.
I hear seventy one.
I hear fifty five thousand bucks.
Ultra low mileage original preservation cars are the only thing that's valuable
to me, to Zuckerman, to Seinfeld's like like those two cars.
Yeah, that's like a game over situation.
Well, I know the orange.
The orange when I still can't stop looking at it.
Well, when you see the early 9 11, you're just talking about a brand new 9 11.
And it's rare that that comes up in life.
Like until now, the lowest mileage one I had found was a seventy S with six
thousand original miles, con de green.
Now 2000.
I mean, you're driving it like out of the factory.
It's it's that thing that we chase.
And why did why did Jerry get rid of this one?
Can you imagine that these are the crumbs that fall off the table?
You forget I've seen what he has.
These are the crumbs that fall off the table.
But these wouldn't even be good enough to be parked in the garage I went to.
Jerry drove the orange one a little bit.
That car was purchased with a couple of thousand miles or maybe even the hundreds.
And it now has seven thousand on it.
But he's, you know, he's like me.
It's like these cars aren't leaving the circle.
They're here.
Like the seventy three R.S. is somewhere that I used to own that he used to own
that Sam used to own.
It's he he's entertained.
So he can look at it if he needs to drive it.
He can take it if he wants.
It doesn't matter. Yeah.
But, you know, we're going to here's here's where I was going with it.
Morris Solomon's has their final inspection, the dealership.
But coming up, actually, it's maybe the day this show is posting or before.
And we've now successfully sold our first car, the Zagato, on the show.
And we're we're now talking about we use Scott Rulo, our friend
who sold the old Land Rover, is going to be he overdelivered with with the Zagato.
And we're going to make him the head of sales for Morris Solomon.
Nice. Under Dell.
Under Dell. Good.
I have to find a job for me.
I find a job for you. Hiring because I'm I could use, you know,
a bit better work.
We'll put bid better on the site. Done. All right.
We'll pay you whatever we have to pay you to put bid better on where I was getting to.
We're starting the Morris Solomon site. Love it.
We're using a lot of the portfolio that a friend of ours in Canada put together.
We get we get a call.
There's a lot happening with this dealership,
but we're going to sell cars on the show.
And I think what we're going to do is start with a very small group of maybe five cars,
very special, curated cars, not necessarily our stuff.
But we're going to open it up to the to the followers, to the viewers, to the fans.
If they have something special they want to sell, and it's going to be free.
You can just bring it on here.
We're going to put it out to the world and help sell it.
And that's great. Yeah.
And start something.
We're going to start something.
Turn this show into something.
Finally, it's about time. Finally.
All right, let's do one of these cars.
We get a lot of cars to talk about.
Why don't we start with the Evoluto?
It's the three five five by Evoluto.
The three five five by Evoluto.
Yeah. It began life as a 1996
Ferrari F three five five.
Yeah.
And it's been just radically modified.
Yeah.
So I think one of the big things to talk about is that there's a guy named Ian Callum.
Oh, I know Ian Callum.
Yeah. And he did Jaguar fame, right?
He did Jag, he did Aston, did the DB9, did the Vantage,
everybody thinks it's so good looking.
Did the F type, did the iPace that are all the Waymo cars, every, you know,
the XJ, pretty damn good designer.
So he redesigned the body.
They needed like more air flow and they just want to look a little bit different.
But also the front track is wider.
So it's kind of Amjad Ali, who was kind of behind the scenes of Gunther Works,
who was like, hey, if we made the front of a car wider,
the 993 would handle better.
He kind of did the same like, hey, if we made the front wider,
we can get better handling to this.
But on this also, the rear is wider, about two and a half inches wider in the rear.
They didn't want the wheels to stick out so they changed the body panels.
All the body panels are carbon fiber, except for the roof.
It's a steel, but so it's I think about 200 pounds lighter, I want to say,
than stock. Yeah, makes about 100 horsepower more.
So it's a 3.5 liter V8, 420 horsepower, 295 pound feet of torque.
And if you say I need more power, they're going to offer a 3.7 liter version
that'll be 480 horsepower.
I forget the torque off the top of my head, but a little bit more torque.
The steering rack stock car is like, I forget, like 3.5, 3.7 turns lock to lock.
This one is two turns lock to lock.
So it's much more spirited handling, gated manual.
But when I spent all day yesterday in this car, I mean, when I say all day,
I mean, all day yesterday in this car.
And aside from no air conditioning, which they're going to fix.
This is though, this is a prototype. This is like the 99 percent.
I've always loved the shape of these cars.
I've just never loved the car itself because of it's just
it seems like a lot of work, you know, for three fifty five.
It's funny, my buddy Jason happened to show up with his three, five, five GTS.
So I drove that kind of compare.
Right. And that look, it's a lovely thing, but it's a time capsule.
Right. This is what a supercar in 1996 was like.
And it's kind of not antique, but, you know, it's got the giant ugly
airbag thing for the passenger.
And, you know, this, though, you know, it's I was saying
that what it reminded me of after I got to the top of the hill,
we went up to Newcombe yesterday.
You remember the the first gen Audi R8, the V8?
So it was it was like it was a mid-engine supercar, but it was light
and it was revvy.
And this thing, first of all, the sound of this engine is just you got to experience it.
It's awesome. No, it looks sharp.
But it's not it's not a modern car in terms of like it's not going to like
you're not going to want to drag race with it.
But it's long gears, revs out to like eighty five hundred RPM.
But you enjoy like the process of like the gated manual.
You know, right, right.
The more it revs, the sweeter it gets kind of kind of like a GT three
in that way where it's like, oh, yeah, I got to take it up to red line.
I'm not going to shift where I normally would shift a car.
So what's the process?
I buy a three fifty five. You hand them your three five five.
You can see this one's wrong hand drive because it was a British customer.
But if you give them a left hand drive car, they'll do that.
And yeah, you give them that in about eight hundred thousand dollars
and they'll hand you this thing back.
And they hand me a new car, a brand new car.
So you've got to see the interior, though, the interior.
And it's just one of the basic concept is like a singer, you know,
and I rest on my gun through whatever singer.
This is a Ferrari by by Avaluto.
Yeah, Avaluto.
Well, look at that.
Yeah, but look at this interior, man.
It's just and I wish we had a regular car
to kind of show how much they improved everything.
Yeah, you know, but like the deep dish steering wheel is awesome.
Like the shifter is just incredible.
The buttons around the shifter are just really well thought out.
Like all those all those wheels are kind of like the air vent knob.
What is the idea of the shifter there?
Just a piece of carbon fiber and with a hole through it.
I don't know, but it works great.
And it feels really nice in your hand.
Is that a hole? Yeah, it is a hole.
Yeah, look at that. Yeah.
You can put your weed there.
No, I don't know what you would do with that.
Why is there a hole in the side of it?
Well, like a juju fruit there.
I would put a hot dog in there.
I think it's a little too small for a hot dog, actually.
Your pinky kind of fits.
I was I held that thing for like eight hours yesterday.
So you could put your finger in there.
You wouldn't put your finger in there.
No, what's on the the chin of these gauges?
Buttons, the front end left ones, the hazard ones.
Those are nice door locks.
Yeah, no, it's like but the leather work, the carbon fiber.
I see a phone holder, which I appreciate.
Yeah, they just did a great job.
Look at look at that.
Even like the passenger footwell that that's very clean, that kickplate.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Just it's just everything is considered and thought about and done well.
And again, for a I drove the first Gunther Works,
which was held together by like spit and hope, you know what I mean?
Like it was it was rough.
This is like there. It's good.
And this is still a prototype in like fair was beaten on it.
Everyone's been beating on it.
And we had it on it as in like driving.
It really hard like I drove it all day yesterday.
We were up at like, you know, six thousand feet,
which is hard for, you know, no turbochargers or anything.
Still felt really powerful.
Yeah, I was really, really impressed by this thing.
It's been around the other side, Jack, and go through the other doors
so we can see in the seats.
Look at the seats, the seats are gorgeous.
Yeah, and they're super comfy, flat bottom wheel.
So even though it's pretty low, you can get in and out right.
Yeah, I mean, I think my gripes are like,
I'm not a fan of the door handles.
Is there is there a lift?
There is a front end lift. Yeah.
There you go.
And look at like the on the door itself, Jack,
like the speaker grills.
Like again, like they didn't have to do anything like that,
but they're just really, yeah, it just it feels like an OEM.
You know what I mean?
It doesn't feel like like, oh, yeah, these guys tune my car.
It's like, this is a different thing.
Well, it better for a million bucks.
Well, only eight.
You know, you might have inherited your three, five.
I did odds are.
Hmm.
But even that, like, look at like the, you know,
the the handbrake and everything.
Yeah, no, it's nice. It's great. Yeah.
Well, let's drive it.
Let's drive it.
We'll take it for a little driver on the block.
Yeah. Yeah, it's good for a Patreon.
And actually, Jack, pull the key out.
See the key right there?
Got a red tip. Yeah, yeah.
And it's like this cool titanium.
Don't pull too hard.
Pull it, twist it back backwards.
Just break it off if you can.
Yeah, pull it out. There you go.
Yeah. And like just a cool, you know, it's just it's not plastic.
It's not that 90s Italian garbage.
Jack, what are you wearing on your wrist right there?
Oh, a Sheffield.
Oh, very nice.
The solar graph.
Yes, a world timer.
I haven't seen that one.
That's a good one.
Yeah, anyways, yeah.
It's lovely.
My my I'm just I'm just impressed.
You like it. Well, that's good.
But it's hard to get Johnny Lieberman excited.
Perhaps I could interest you in some race deck.
Oh, that's right.
Race deck invented in 1997 by car enthusiasts for car enthusiasts.
You know, I made a special video.
OK, look, wait, this is your house.
This is my home garage.
What happened to the 8000 bicycles?
I we sold many of the.
Hey, will you review my electric bike and they go out of business
and they leave it in my garages?
So just real quick, everyone watching.
I've been in that garage.
There was you couldn't walk.
It was you look to the right, look to the right.
Yeah, a couple.
We kept a cake.
We have a new E-Ride Pro and we have
you had like Sonders.
You had like 20 plus like scooters and things.
It was anyway, sorry, sorry.
We got rid of the scooters.
We got there was too much, as you said,
because I've been I want to make over this garage.
And we just I just did the garage door.
This is just a video.
Go ahead and play it.
I had these guys come.
It's an old door from the fifties,
but they put new springs in it.
We built a new door out of wood
and it opens and closes with a belt drive.
It's so I sat here this that night
and just opened and close the door and went, oh, yeah.
And I've got Zuckerman's M3 there.
It was like really, I mean, I was just so happy.
But then I look down and I went race deck opportunity.
Now I'm finally ready for the race deck.
Yeah, like the next time you see that floor,
you're going to see a race deck on it.
Anyway, you got to check out race deck.
Go to race deck dot com slash SCR.
Here we go.
We got a new site, race deck dot com SCR
for 15 percent off your garage flooring.
And follow along with my story
as I choose my new race deck floor.
I don't know what I'm going to do.
Go back to it for one second.
What do you do there?
Do you keep the original green?
It's kind of cool.
It's a cool idea.
It's very retro.
Yeah, it's kind of cool.
But yeah, I made this green stripes or something.
But I need something with self-draining technology.
I need self-draining because that beam is going to leak.
So yeah, that's a really fun car to drive.
Well, when Zuckerman gets back here,
whatever he's doing at Honduras, buying guns or helping.
Running guns, helping the rebels in the forest,
whatever he's up to down there.
I'm not telling you till I come back.
Wow, really?
Yeah, I mean, why is he suddenly?
I mean, you know, Zuckerman doesn't go anywhere.
I mean, he'll like go to Berlin for a weekend or something.
Something equally CIA and shady.
Yeah, we took the twin prop down to Honduras.
I'll tell you later.
Like what?
We've made contact with the Sandinistas.
That's Honduras.
What is that carpeting?
What is that a large role of carpeting?
Never mind what's in there.
It's not carpet.
It looks like there's blood dripping
out of the bottom of it, Zuckerman.
So draining technology.
Today's show also sponsored by
McGuire's for 125 years.
McGuire's has pursued perfection in surface care, crafting,
creaming of detailing products, trusted by professionals,
enthusiasts alike.
I've got the McGuire's bucket in that garage.
I cleaned that red car in my garage with the new door.
That's how happy I am.
Look what I did with it.
I really do love their stuff.
It works out.
It made my life very easy, you know, since I've got this bucket
of McGuire stuff for two weeks.
My cleaning life has been very easy.
All of my problems, all of my tire problems,
all of my wheel problems, all of my kid
and wife interior mess problems.
They eat in their cars.
My car's been infected by Nutella.
That's not good.
Easily fixed.
Anyways, McGuire's for new for 2026 has quick solution kits.
And that's what I'm talking about.
McGuire's has always made car care easy,
but some jobs require a bit more work than others.
Their new quick solutions kits take the guesswork
of what products to buy and include specialized drill,
attachment brush to increase cleaning power
and decrease time spent.
That's what I like.
Do the thinking for me.
Listen to this.
Four kits are available.
All weather floor mat kit, carpet and cloth kit for Nutella.
Have your duty headlight restoration kit and leather care.
Amazing.
You can find all these products
and I highly suggest that you get them on Amazon.
Advanced auto parts and McGuire's.com.
McGuire celebrating 125 years of passion.
Thank you for sponsoring the show.
All right, let's do another car.
Let's do another car.
Amen.
We've got this this one right there behind me.
The Stark Speedster.
Let's talk about that.
You drove this one too, right?
I did.
So I drove.
I saw it at Air Water.
Let's go over the concept first to discuss what you had emailed me and said,
Hey, I did.
Yeah, this is my fault.
You said what you want to drive this thing.
And I didn't look at it and I said, I'll drive anything.
Well, I wanted to sometimes people reach out
and they they say you can only drive it for an hour or two.
Yeah.
And Johnny's going to drive it.
So I feel like, you know, you just drive it and talk about it on the show
rather than that, you know,
because it's easier for me to spend a day or two in a car and experience it.
So so I yeah, yeah, here's here's the concept.
As far as I know, this is a 718 spider.
Yeah, RS underneath.
No, just it's a two liter.
It's it's regular 718.
It's a it's a box.
It's not even ass.
It's a Boxster.
So and the companies in Missouri, Missouri and they they the idea was,
hey, the 718 is like the old three fifty six cab.
Why don't we put the body of a three fifty six on a 718?
OK, that's yeah.
And here it is.
So now I can tell you.
Yeah. And when you look at it, you go, OK, well, this it's kind of hot,
wheelsy in nature.
It's, you know, this is the good angle, Jack.
But wait, I was going to say.
You can in person, it doesn't look as snouty as it does in this shot.
Like there's something about the way the camera affects it.
Like, you know how you look 10 percent bigger in a photograph?
Or oh, yeah, trust me, I know.
Yes, it's more like look at the seats.
Like, Jack, could you kind of walk like the seats are way too big?
And I get it.
Look, it's for people that want a three five six, but they want air conditioning
and backup cameras and, you know, stereo and stuff and in all that.
But like, yeah, can you imagine if Pruninger saw this?
Did he see this?
He. No, I don't know.
I don't know. That's the one question I wanted.
I would have wanted to ask him to go if you were going to take a three fifty six
and do a modern interpretation, what would that look like?
I'm not sure it would end up looking like this
because this just looks like someone stretched a speedster body over.
Yeah, a box tour, right?
They kind of did. Yeah.
I mean, it's a couple hundred thousand dollars.
There's an ask for every seat.
It's one of those things.
Guys do this. Here's my problem with it.
Like you take a C five Corvette and you stretch out a C one looking body to put it on.
Yeah. And there are people that like that.
You go to Barrett Jackson, those things sell for money.
But like the Evoluto, for instance, they got they said, hey, Ian Callum.
Right. Could you could you do this?
You know, it's a million dollar car.
That's a fair point.
A roof for the SCR.
They said, hey, we want to we want to modernize a nine eleven.
Yeah. Hey, Freeman Thomas.
Yeah. Could you make it so it doesn't look awkward?
Get keep the proportions where it's got to be a little bit bigger
because it's modern tires and right.
And the guy told me with this one.
He said, yeah, our CAD designer designed the car.
The guy who did the CAD drawing.
And what's a CAD drawing?
Computational, blah, blah, blah. I don't know who knows.
But, you know, do you think there's a certain portion of the world
that will think this is Tony Stark's speedster?
No, I believe start.
Well, I know Yiddish Stark.
If you call someone a starker, it means they're strong.
I think Stark is German for strong.
Ah, yeah. Well, but yeah.
So I mean, I'm trying to find good things.
You really are doing a good job.
Say about it. You're doing great.
Well, they drive. I'll say this.
It's fiberglass, so it drives like a like a 2019 Boxster
with 200 pounds taken out of it.
So it's lighter a little bit.
So there's one thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I like boxers.
I'm like, this is this drove great.
See, I to me, it could exist in the Hot Wheels world.
You know what I mean?
Like, I bet kids, little kids would love this thing and look at it and go,
that's really cool. It looks like a toy.
We should do a segment where we create an AI Seinfeld
and have him critique it.
I you know what I'm saying?
No, I we can't show this to Jerry.
Yeah, he would.
You know what I'm saying?
He didn't float like he's a guy who's, you know,
you see, he has a hard time wrapping his head around Singer 9-Elevens
and in all sorts of mods.
You know, yeah, look, this, this jack has found the great angle.
This looks this jack.
You've found the angle, but like they're going to hire you, Jack.
Yeah, it doesn't drive bad or anything.
Let's see the back of it. Let's look at the back.
Just proportionally, it's a little.
Yeah, it's not there yet.
It's not there yet.
So but there are only three of these, as I understand it.
There are a couple hundred.
He said that they're in production and they're going to make more.
And again, people are asking for them.
Like people, there are.
So they'll just make as many as people ask for.
Is that the idea?
Do you ever find yourself like,
I've been to Bear Jackson a bunch of times for various reasons.
And I'll sit there and there's like a Chevelle, a 1970 Chevelle.
Yeah.
Three hundred thousand dollars.
And there's a bidding war.
And I'm like, yeah, no, not no.
But see, I think that's a very good point.
Like I were walking through, I don't know, Circus Circus Casino in Vegas.
I would expect to see this on the floor.
Right, right.
And then if I were at Bear Jackson in 14 years,
I would expect to see this sell for probably a lot of money.
So there is a world where it will exist.
It's just not the level headed reasonable portion of people world.
It's some other right, some other dimension.
I think that's right.
I'm still I still like whenever I see those Corvettes,
like I'm literally shocked by like, like, who would do this?
Yeah, but somebody will.
But they do it.
But like, yeah, it's just not our crew.
But I have a buddy, Mike, he's an old hot rodder.
And and he I remember one time we saw one and he was like, that's so cool.
And I'm like, Mike goes, no, it looks like an old C1.
You know, yeah, but it doesn't really.
It looks like can I drive this one, too?
I'd like to drive.
Yeah, I mean, it drives you like boxers.
It drives great. I do.
Yeah, it drives great.
And I will say this red on red, red extra red leather interior is is awesome.
I'm like, I'm going to start looking for these.
All right, Jack, take the camera behind the Ferrari.
There is another car we can talk about.
We'll go for a little walk.
We'll do a little walking music here, Ingram.
Put a little walking music for Jack.
You can walk faster if you want, Jack, there you go.
And back there is a Lucid.
Yeah, but not just any Lucid, the Lucid Sapphire in a beautiful sapphire blue.
Yeah, so this is the air sapphire.
OK, boy, it's a numbers car.
Yeah, back off a little bit.
It hasn't this shot right here.
It looked really cool.
Yeah, right there.
That that's nicely proportioned.
This car, it's it's a.
Yeah, so there's lots of numbers with this car.
So like you could say it makes one thousand two hundred and thirty four
horsepower. Wow, that's a number.
Cost two hundred fifty thousand five hundred dollars,
which is a lot of money.
I was supposed to drive this and they never brought it.
I can we'll help me out.
Yeah, I want to drive it for sure.
It does the quarter mile in like nine point two seconds,
which is just absolutely absurd.
Like that. Yeah, I believe the motor
trend we tested the Corvette ZR1X, which is also twelve hundred and fifty
horsepower, and it was like nine point two seconds.
And I think this is either nine point one or nine point two,
but like it's just it's just an insane car.
Yeah, the big like the Evoluto, they widened it.
The sapphire is wider than a regular air.
It's a three motor instead of a two motor.
And so like the some comparables like the the Tesla plaid, the two motor,
the Tycons, a two motor.
This one has two motors on the rear axle.
And so it has in very severe torque vectoring.
So it's really kind of counterintuitive to drive to an Audi RS3
like to go around a corner faster, give it more gas.
Like it's it's it's weird because it can just overdrive the outside wheel.
And so the motors are so under stress.
So each of these motors is capable of peaking at six hundred and seventy horsepower.
But they never do that.
So on the rear axle, they're both kind of like sit at four hundred.
But if one has to turn faster than the other one,
it can peak up to six seventy to maintain eight hundred horsepower
at all times on the rear axle.
It's one of I drove this the Bugatti
Chevron Pure saying I think you drove that too.
But that's the one with the short gearing.
Similar vibes. Wow, it's just it's so stupid.
It's very big statements. Yeah.
I mean, and this might actually you just did drive it around town
like it's nothing to it. Can you turn it down?
I drove here in whatever they call comfort mode
with the seat massager on hands free drove hands free the whole way.
I thought and I've been bracing for Lucid to go out of business.
You know, they started giving him away pretty much.
You know, dude, the lease deals are they're all right.
Wild. Yeah. All right.
So it looks a little like electric car inside.
Yeah. And you know, to be fair to them, the gravity,
which is their SUV that came out, they've cleaned up.
It's a lot less screeny.
And that's my my Cadillac coffee cup there.
But yeah, it's a very nice luxury car,
but they're a healthy company.
They're starting to sell airs.
The gravity is slowly taken off.
They have a smaller car coming.
They also have like, you know, Saudi money.
So they they the Saudi Arabia
sovereign investment fund is heavily invested in them.
So they're sort of like, I don't say too big to fail,
but too well funded to fail. Right.
They just hired a new full time CEO.
So Peter Rawlinson, who was like the founder, original CEO and CTO,
he quit, he retired and they had an interim guy
who was sort of a Nebish, pardon my English,
but they got a new guy who's like,
might be like an Alan Mulally type from what I'm hearing.
Like so might be like a real, not a car guy, but a business guy.
Right. Right. So that that could help them.
Seems like what they need.
I think I met the guy who started this company down
in the old Bill Malibu Country Mart.
Yeah. Car show during the pandemic.
Yes. He always see would be down there.
He'd bring the cars and he had a toothpick and he goes,
yeah, we're going to make the loosest.
He was always like a Howard Hughes-y type guy.
No, no, he's a British guy.
Cigarette teeth. No.
No. Well, I mean, he's British.
He could have cigarette teeth, but I don't think he smoked.
The stupid issue sitting behind me, Peter.
So Peter, who's that guy just pretended to be the owner of Lucid.
Peter was the the vehicle line chief,
whatever you call it, of the Tesla Model S.
So he built the Tesla Model S. Right.
Didn't get along with Elon left.
And then sort of this battery company,
which then got some investments and became Lucid.
And so it was like everything.
Kind of haggar slacks like a like a coffee colored shirt.
No, no, no. Cigarette and a toothpick.
Big watch guy, big watch guy.
He'd be picking little tobacco out of his teeth going on here.
I don't think he smoked.
He was he was English.
I got some Saudi money and I'm making looses.
Why don't you trust me more?
He had an English accent. No. Yeah.
I'm pretty sure it was he used to work at Lotus.
He was a hell of a driver.
I drove with him one time, hell of a driver.
So anyhow, but yeah, I had coffee breath.
No, no, it's not him.
But all right, very impressive car.
But like I said, the the 620 horsepower one,
which also has 885 pound feet of torque,
you can lease it for like 600 a month.
It's insane.
And that car is again, perfect.
You know, I used to have to buy a new hose every year
due to kinks, tangles and all sorts of other things.
Really, it was hose blows.
You know what a hose blow is?
I like those hoses.
You turn the water off and they come down and make smaller
and then you can put them in.
I love I have to buy a new one every year, though.
The problem is when you put it in the little hose bowl
and then you turn it on the water again,
sometimes the hose explodes,
but not now with our friends from Pocket Hose.
I and this isn't a lie.
I used my pocket hose yesterday.
It did you.
I used my pocket hose yesterday.
I bet you did.
I was fertilizing the hydrangeas.
You know how you go to the hardware store
and you end up buying a bunch of stuff you don't need?
Yeah, I found hydrangea fertilizer
and I realized in 13 years in my house,
I hadn't fertilized the hydrangeas.
And then I put the fertilizer around the hydrangeas
and then it said you got to put some water there.
And I went, holy shit, my pocket hose is right there
in the little valve right near the hydrangeas.
And I took it out and I hosed my hydrangeas.
I couldn't have been happier.
How about that?
I don't even need to read the ad.
Yeah.
Everything worked.
Nothing leaked.
I didn't get my shoes or pants wet.
I need this.
I go through hoses like I have like five hoses in my house.
We're selling hoses like crazy.
Oh, yeah.
Because apparently a big part of our audience,
that's the guy who said he owned Lucid.
That's him.
I own Lucid.
There he is.
Wow.
Wow.
I found this redheaded snake in the backyard spot.
That's not a snake, Richard.
Not what he said.
That's a pocket hose.
Anyway, for a limited time,
when you purchase a new Pocket Hose Ballistic,
you'll get a free 360-degree rotating pocket pivot
and a free thumb drive nozzle.
Just text spike.
I love this one.
Text spike to 64,000.
That's all you got to do.
Just do it now.
Text spike to 64,000 for your two free gifts
with purchase.
Text spike to 64,000.
What if I text spike with pocket hose?
Speaking of hose, let's talk about Bluetooth.
Let's say you don't want your hose to retract.
Let's say you want your hose stiff.
Yeah.
Let's say you want your hose lasting long for a long time.
A new level of hosedom.
Then you want Bluetooth gold.
Yes.
Yes, we love Bluetooth gold.
I've got buckets of this stuff at my house.
Buckets, they just know.
They just whatever we want.
You talk about free Bluetooth.
What about a SpySquare radio?
Be our heads.
Pez dispensers, but Bluetooth dispensers.
That's a good idea.
What if we put Bluetooth gold in a pocket hose?
Would it stiffen up?
It's a good test for tonight, for me.
Spike, Spike, what are you doing?
Leave me alone.
Testing my pocket hose.
I mean, for this show.
I mean, my garage with my pocket hose
and my Bluetooth testing things.
I'm worried about the self draining on the floor.
She wouldn't.
She would just slam the door.
Doesn't even care anymore.
Anyway, look, this ED drug is a fantastic ED drug
because it wraps everything in one drug all together.
Can I even say drug?
Yes, I can.
I can.
Getting hard is not the same as getting aroused.
Bluetooth gold has elements in it.
All sorts of things to just make everything work.
And you're going to love it.
What do you need?
It's got it.
Don't let your mind get in the way of a good time.
Discover your options at Bluetooth.com.
And we've got a special deal for our listeners right now.
When you buy two months of Bluetooth gold,
you get the third for free.
That's right.
Buy two months of Bluetooth gold.
You get the third for free with promo codes,
like 9 11.
Did you say by 9 11?
Did you say don't let your mind get in the way of a good time?
I might have.
That's an incredible, incredible statement.
Did I say that?
I think you said I did.
Yeah. No, that's there.
They wrote.
We need it on t-shirts and hats.
Don't let your mind get in the way of a good time.
Most guys think with their dick anyway.
So I can maybe that's the mind they're talking about.
I don't know.
Visit Bluetooth.com for more details and important safety information.
We thank Bluetooth for sponsoring the podcast.
I wonder if it's in that important safety information.
No, we love those guys.
Bluetooth is the greatest.
They are the greatest.
But don't you think of Bluetooth?
Pez dispenser with like the.
I think these are fantastic.
With a Zuckerman head.
Sure. Come on.
Who wouldn't want that?
These guys.
Imagine pulling that out of your nightstand.
One minute, darling.
I have to get my Bluetooth Pez dispenser.
Pull Paul's head back and click this stopwatch.
Just got to wait.
Wait. There we go.
The little thing.
Pleasure and host.
We love you very happy with all these sponsors.
I'm using all the sponsors.
Well, I got the same hair problem going on.
Thank you.
We have to.
There we go.
I got I got a little bit of a haircut and I get
distracting hair every once in a while.
But at least the wig comments have stopped and the dye
comments have stopped.
People are just.
Thank you, Cameron.
I'm a man of a certain age.
The fact that I have hair, I'm just happy.
It's incredible.
Really?
Most of it is real.
Most of it is real.
Oh, this.
Do you know, I wanted to ask you about this Aston Martin
that I keep seeing being tested on the track.
Look at this thing.
Have you seen this?
I'm not even sure what this is.
But from what I can gather, this is a one off being
built for a billionaire.
And I forgot to Google that, Cameron.
Look at how ungainly this thing looks.
I like it.
To me.
Look at that thing.
But Google, let's do a little Googling while we're here.
Could this be a Valkyrie AMR with no roof?
Do Aston Martin billionaire prototype?
And let's see what comes up.
And maybe it is Ken Griffin.
Does the name Ken Griffin come up?
Yeah.
Single-seater.
Oh, now we're talking.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, it is.
OK, so what does it say?
Let's see.
Here it is.
OK, it's a one off track car built for a US billionaire.
We'll see the picture.
Yeah, like go up, go up.
There it is.
It looks Valkyrie based.
If you ever needed an argument that some people have too much
money, here it is right here.
But what do you suppose that is, Johnny?
It looks like a Valkyrie with the roof cut off.
And then a single-seater, which would solve a lot of Valkyrie's
problems, actually.
It's a V12 engine and is around 10 seconds quicker than an F1 car.
What?
A Valkyrie is capable of that.
Because remember, with a Valkyrie,
the aerodynamics are all under the car.
Could you see if it says Valkyrie anywhere in there?
Because to me, they make the Valkyrie AMR Pro.
I think it's called.
Oh, yeah, there you go.
Yeah.
And you wrote, Johnny, there you go.
Yeah, so.
But how can it be 10 seconds quicker than an F1 car?
Because it has double the power.
What's wrong with F1, that their cars aren't 10 seconds?
They don't have V12.
They have a little 1.6 liter, whatever.
But anyway, so yeah.
That's wild.
Do you think this guy, I don't know who Ken Griffin is.
I have no idea.
To me, I thought he was a Dodger at one point, right?
I was thinking of a different guy.
Yeah.
This is son, Jr. Yeah.
Who's this guy?
I don't know.
What is his deal?
He likes track cars.
Let's dox Ken Griffin here.
No.
This guy, look at him.
Oh, yeah, I wouldn't trust that guy.
Wait, wait, go back.
Yeah, the picture on the left there.
Look at this guy's eyes.
Spike Ferris didn't disappear shortly.
Yeah.
So look, that guy.
Spike Ferris and Odey on Blue Street.
Yeah, look, there's nothing wrong with this guy.
I mean, he's got good taste in cars.
But what does he do?
Is he a finance guy?
A billionaire, probably.
Yeah.
Who did he pirate his money from in the 80s?
Found in Citadel.
OK, Citadel Securities.
It's 1990.
From his Harvard dorm room.
OK.
All right.
That's fair.
I mean, terrible.
Hey, Ken.
Hey, Spike.
For the record, Spike doesn't like you, Ken.
I think you're just fine.
Oh, that's OK.
We can make Spike disappear.
I'm a billionaire.
Watch.
Poof, gone.
He's gone.
I don't know anything about the guy,
but he apparently has good taste in cars.
He must have a big car collection.
Google Ken Griffin car collection.
I've been a passenger in a Valkyrie AMR.
I mean, you see, I like that picture better of him, Johnny.
Look at that.
That's a guy I can get behind.
Yes.
A little bit of a belly, ties wrong length.
I like that guy.
It's like Bruce Wayne really let himself go.
Yeah.
What?
Let's see his cars, though.
What kind of cars does he have?
He's got a lot of Ferrari.
He's got a lot of Ferrari.
So he likes to track stuff, it looks like.
And Claren P1, that's nice.
Nice.
I like how whoever wrote this article,
they put the Uruk on above the P1.
Fucking idiots.
Why don't we get Ken Griffin to invest in bid better?
Yeah.
Hey, we'll take investors.
Yeah, we could.
Yeah.
I mean, for a billionaire, what?
$10 million a piece for each of us is bomb money.
He doesn't have to think about it.
Right.
It's great.
Yeah.
You should just buy this show.
Ken, there you are.
Buy me.
I'm still Ken.
You can buy our show, too.
And then we'll be your mouthpiece.
We'll say whatever you want us to say.
That sounds good, Spike.
That sounds good, Spike.
Hold on, I got to talk to my assistant.
Make Spike first and disappear.
Tomorrow.
Ping, poof.
Spike's gone.
Also.
But anyway, I was just going to say that car,
it's hard to explain that Valkyrie.
So can you get him off the monitor?
Yeah, thanks.
That Valkyrie, the AMR one, you have to sit like this.
So when you're a passenger, it's so tight in there,
you have to take your arm and fold it like this, right?
Wow.
And so your other hand is sticking out like this.
When the guy hit the brakes for the first time,
I've never felt this before since,
all the blood in my body was in my fingertips.
It was so, it looks giant on the track here.
They're gigantic.
It's all wheelbase.
It's all wheelbase.
Yeah.
They take a Valkyrie, which is whatever,
a nice sized, hypercar normal size.
And then they extend the wheelbase
and then get rid of all the hybrid nonsense.
Right.
I think, I shouldn't, this one might have it
because I was saying 1200 horsepower.
That's a lot to get out of a V12.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
But yeah, it looks, I think it looks good.
And it does look like the old Keaton Batmobile.
It does, right?
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
It was kind of Batmobile-y.
Good for Aston.
Whatever it takes.
We'll hear from Ken's lawyers and get into it.
You won't.
You'll be dead.
That actually looks like a guy would be a friend of mine.
Yeah, it really does.
He does.
Looks like he probably from New England.
New England later.
Harvard?
Yeah, Harvard.
Or like when you're looking in a homelander's eyes.
Right before he turns the lasers on and burns it.
Don't worry about it.
I'll take care of Ferris to my shop.
Just slices me in half.
Like Seth Rogen in the episode I watched last night.
That was a good episode, right?
It was a good episode.
There you go.
Have you seen Marston?
Friends and neighbors.
Oh, man.
He's killing it, right?
He's doing a good job.
OK.
Not only is he great.
Yeah.
Shows up in a McLaren 750S.
Upgrades to a Porsche 918 Spyderite.
And then he's on top of Olivia Munn.
Correction.
She was on top of him.
Oh, you're right.
But still.
I watched the episode I watched last night.
I was just like, God damn it, Marston.
Lives a better life than all of us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was texting him like, I didn't know how you're
going to top the 918, but.
And then he had to walk in a room in his underpants
with a drone in his hands.
And he's buff.
He put like 20 pounds of muscle.
He did well.
Because remember, he was the guy.
Yeah, he, you know, he's getting up and he's
getting up in years and he's still cranky.
You can walk out onto a set with his shirt off
and he's looking good.
Yeah.
It's a good show, too.
It's a good season.
Hammy's doing a good job.
Mr. Ham is doing a great job.
As we call him.
Anyway, that's our show.
We're going to drive these cars now on Patreon.
And remember, car folks in California and LA, especially
Pacific Palisades Motor Classic, they're half full right now.
I think they can have 200 vehicles.
They've they've sold 100 spots.
Let's crush this thing for fun.
Let's bring out the best of the best.
Let's treasure state guys.
Let's go.
Good boy, Bob guys, Andrew, Porsches.
Let's go.
Let's get your people there.
Let's show up.
Let's make some money.
Let's rebuild this Y.
And let's have a show finally in our backyard.
Throw up, Ken.
Hold on, hold on.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
OK, Ken, forget everything I said to you.
Yeah, Spike.
Bring that that Aston won off to this Palisades show and then
all will be forgotten.
I will forgive you.
But it's not street legal, Spike.
Forgive, forgive me.
Anyway, that's our show.
We'll see you next week on Spike's Car Radio and on Patreon right now.
About this episode
The hosts spend most of the show dissecting a Ferrari F355 restomod called the 355 Evoluto, praising its carbon-fiber bodywork, quicker steering, and 420-horsepower V8 while debating whether it feels more like an OEM product than a tuner build. They also compare it with other wild machinery, including a Lucid Air Sapphire, a Stark Speedster, and a one-off Valkyrie-based Aston Martin track car. Along the way, they drop a few dealership updates and event plugs.
Spike and Jonny cover the Long Beach Grand Prix, a Ferrari restomod that's trying not to get sued, and a Lucid sedan that runs a 9.2-second quarter mile. Also: the guys bought an insanely rare '71 Porsche 911 T Targa and a billionaire had Aston Martin build him a one-off track car faster than an F1 car.

Spike went to Long Beach and became the official face of heart valve health. Yes, really. Catch him on Good Morning America apparently.
Jonny Lieberman drives the 355 by Evoluto, a Ferrari F355 restomod with a carbon fiber body, wider track, gated manual, and 420hp. It's 200 pounds lighter than stock and Jonny loves it. Then they tear into the Starke Speedster, a 356-style body slapped onto a 718 Boxster chassis, and Spike is not impressed. Meanwhile, the Lucid Air Sapphire shows up with 1,234 horsepower and Bugatti-level quarter-mile times in a luxury sedan package.
Morris Solomon is now the official car curator for SCR fans, kicking things off with a museum-quality 1971 Porsche 911 T Targa with no miles, one of Jerry Seinfeld's cars. Also, Hyundai EV sales jumped 39.8% in a single month, so maybe pump the brakes on the "EVs are dead" takes. Aston Martin built a billionaire a single-seat, one-off track car based on the Valkyrie AMR Pro. It leaked. The guys have thoughts.
Join Spike at the Pacific Palisades Motor Classic on June 13th. Bring your car. Jay Leno will probably be there.
