This is a specific older Porsche 911 generation. The “993” is famous because it’s the last 911 that still uses an air-cooled engine design. “C2S” is a particular version of that 911 with a bit more performance than the simplest trim.
The Porsche 944 is a Porsche sports car with the engine in the front and the drive going to the rear. They mention it because it was one of the cars they showed off in the garage.
They’re saying the car was stored away instead of being driven. Keeping a car in storage for years can help it stay in better shape, which is why it’s important in a low-mileage story.
“Undriven” means the car wasn’t really driven for a long time. That’s a big deal for collectors because it can keep the car in near-new condition and result in very low mileage.
They’re talking about the special feeling of a car that’s been kept original and hasn’t been heavily redone. Even if you restore a car really well, it may not feel the same as one that’s been preserved.
The rocker panel is the lower part of the car’s side body. They’re pointing out that on the police version, a vinyl strip is mounted there instead of carpet to handle heavy use.
A rear wiper is the wiper on the back window. They’re using it like a clue that the car is a Dutch police setup, and they say early 911s can have it too.
A passenger side mirror is the mirror on the right side (from the driver’s perspective). They’re saying the police car had a mirror set up specifically so the officer in the passenger seat could watch what was behind them.
The Volkswagen Beetle is a classic small car. In this story, they mention it because it was used as a police car and had features that helped officers direct traffic.
“Ultra low mileage” means the car has been driven very few miles. That usually means less wear from driving, though some parts can still age over time.
The odometer is the gauge that shows how many miles (or kilometers) the car has traveled. People look at it to estimate how much the car has been driven.
These are carburetors made by Zenith. They help the engine mix fuel and air, and the “triple throat” design can improve how the engine responds and makes power.
“2.2 T” refers to a Porsche 911 with a 2.2-liter engine and the “T” trim designation. In 911 history, the 2.2 T is often viewed as a sweet spot because it balances classic character with strong performance for the era.
The Porsche 356 is an early Porsche sports car. They’re talking about it as a police car and explaining why it had certain visibility features for traffic control.
This is a special mirror setup with two mirrors in the middle. It helps more than one person in the car see behind them clearly, which can be useful for police work.
Concept
traffic control
Traffic control means directing cars and pedestrians at busy spots. They’re saying the police-car design choices were meant to make it easier for officers to signal and see what’s happening.
The Porsche 718 is a more modern Porsche sports car line (Boxster/Cayman). The hosts are basically saying they’re enjoying the newer 718 while someone else drives the older 356.
This sounds like they mean a “Targa top,” which is a removable roof panel on some Porsche models. You can take it off to make the car feel more open to the air.
Le Mans is a famous long-distance race in France where cars run for about 24 hours. “Winning its class” means it was the best in its group of cars, not necessarily the overall winner.
This is a special, rare Porsche 914 built for racing. The “6” means it uses a six-cylinder engine, and in the story they’re talking about its Le Mans success.
They talk about a dispute in the local car scene in Southern California. It’s about people driving aggressively in canyon roads and the danger that creates.
“Double yellows” are the two solid yellow lines in the middle of the road. They usually mean you’re not allowed to pass or cross into the other lane.
Term
cross the mustard
It’s slang for crossing a road line that you’re not supposed to cross—usually the line that separates you from oncoming traffic. The hosts are saying that behavior is dangerous and gets people hurt.
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a super performance 911 meant for track driving. It’s the kind of car that looks and sounds special, and it’s often associated with very fast driving.
“Canyon carving” means driving fast and smoothly on twisty mountain roads. People do it for fun, but it can be dangerous because those roads aren’t closed for racing.
Vredestein makes tires. They’re known for good grip, including winter tires, and the hosts are talking about how the tires on that car looked and performed.
Car
Mercedes-Benz 240D
The Mercedes-Benz 240D is an older Mercedes diesel. Diesels use glow plugs to help the engine start and run smoothly, especially when it’s cold.
A glow plug is a heating element used on diesel engines to warm the combustion chamber before starting. That heat helps diesel fuel ignite reliably, especially in cold weather, and it’s why the hosts associate the 240D’s starting/driving experience with “glow plug.”
The Buick Century is a mid-size car made by Buick. It’s generally meant for comfortable everyday driving. The podcast mentions it in the context of Buick’s experience and design approach.
A sloping roofline means the roof angles down toward the back. It can look cooler, but it can also make the rear window smaller, so it’s harder to see behind you.
A glass ceiling is a glass roof section above you. Here, it sounds like it can switch between lighter and darker so the cabin feels brighter or more shaded.
The Range Rover is a large SUV made by Land Rover. It’s designed to drive comfortably on regular roads but still handle rough terrain. The podcast brings it up because it’s visible in the situation they’re describing.
Term
3D versions of where the car is
Some cars have a 3D “parking view” that shows where your car is relative to nearby objects. It can help you park, but it may not feel natural or clear when you’re backing up close to things. The host says it felt weird and cramped for them.
Some cars let you open the rear hatch by kicking your foot under the license plate area. The host says it doesn’t work reliably, especially outside, so it becomes frustrating. They’d rather have a simple button on the key fob.
Here, “unlock” means the car automatically unlocks when it senses your key fob nearby. The host says the car unlocks, but the hatch-opening step doesn’t work reliably. So the whole process feels inconsistent.
A key fob is the small remote you use to lock and unlock the car. The host is complaining that theirs didn’t always work right when they were at the door.
A Ford Explorer is a real SUV. Here, they’re saying the big radio-flyer “wagon” is built on the Explorer’s main undercarriage, so it’s not just a toy—it uses the SUV’s real foundation.
LIVE
Welcome to Spike's Car Radio. Here we are. This time, Johnny Lieberman is in Honduras,
not Zuckerman. I was very successful there. Where were you? You weren't... I was searching
for the origin of the antivirus. I was deep in a bat cave. You said you weren't in Honduras.
I don't even know where you got Honduras. There was no Honduras. I was in Panama, which
is not... That doesn't even border. And you were there for legal reasons? Yeah. We have
virtual assistants there. All right. And it all went well. Actually, yes. Do you see any
cool cars down there? What goes on in Panama? Anything? Like, what is it like compared to
a city I've never been? Miami. It's really... Okay. Well, downtown, Panama City has more
high-rise bank buildings than you've ever seen in your life, which you immediately go,
ding. Oh, this is where all the dirty money is. This is exactly where all of the money
laundering is. There are a lot of my people with Yamakazan running around there. There's
a lot of money changing going on there. Are there cool cars? Do they buy cars with this
money down there? I didn't see any cool cars, but we have a fan that is one of the canal
tugboat drivers that has cool cars. He has some horses. What do you mean? We follow each
other. This guy will take the big cargo ships through the Panama Canal, and I know he has...
Did you meet up with him down there? I did not meet up with him. I didn't tell him I was coming.
We didn't have a moment. Why not? That would have been really fun. Let's go down there. It's
like a little colony. It's a good time down there. Very interesting. Never been there before.
Everything's fried, Ferris, then fried food. I like that. Anyway, there's a lot going on in
the car world, Suckerman. We have a lot of cars to talk about today. Yes. We have three as a matter
of fact. One's a surprise. Remember that guy, Phil, the boat car? Yeah. He's coming by a little
later. He said he's got a surprise car for us. I don't know what he's bringing. I don't know.
The Artemis 3. But I'm excited about that. I have the Polestar 4, which is behind us,
new electric car, which is kind of cool. And we have a new 911, which is fantastic.
This 1971 former Dutch police car, actually never Dutch police car, that we chatted about
last week while you were down in Honduras, Panama, wherever the fuck you were. We're deep in a cave.
Yeah, we were talking about selling the Zagato, which is now in its new home in Detroit,
and the picking up of the Seinfeld Crumbs. Yes. Yes. One of which was the Orange 356.
And now we have the 71 Target. Which is an incredible car. You've been driving it,
and there's already been such wild, wild moments. Why don't you let me tell the audience the story
of the day that you got the car. Suckerman, and I don't even think Cameron knows this story,
but Zuckerman sends me a text. I'm on my way here, and I've got to get an Uber, right?
And I'm waiting for the Uber in front of my house, and Zuckerman says, look what I'm driving,
and it's this car, the Dutch police car 911. He goes, can you believe it? It's better than I
remember it. I can't believe we own this thing. It's so exciting. He sends me, he's sending a
picture after picture, and I was like, I got to go because I got this weirdo Uber driver coming,
and his name is Ard, and I've got to deal with Ard in an Uber. Because he and I are always sending
each other a picture of the weird Uber drivers we get. I go, I got to deal with Ard. 90% of this
guy's drunk because look at his eyes. Here's Ard. This is what I get, right? And I said,
Zuckerman, I go, this guy's picking me up, okay? Okay. I get in the Tesla Model Y with Ard,
and I like to make conversation because you get rated as a passenger. I don't want to be
a low-rated passenger. I want to be a friendly passenger. So I say, hey, what do you think of
the Model Y? And Ard says, I don't care for it. I feel like they're disposable. They fall apart.
When I go, but there's more to that, isn't there Ard? He goes, yes, I hate Elon Musk.
And I go, well, you and I dislike this guy. That's fine. He goes, he contributes nothing to society.
He starts going on a rant about Elon. He says, all of this money, and he does nothing to help.
And I go, I'm with your brother. And he goes, he goes, but that's not really it.
He goes, I like Porsches. I go, oh, you do? And he goes, yes. He goes, I have one Porsche,
a 1998 993 C2S. I go, well, if you're going to have one Porsche, that's the one to have.
So this guy with the red eyes, the Uber driver, this guy right here with the red eyes, he goes,
okay. So I say, Ard, how did you get the card? He goes, well, you know, I've fallen on hard times.
And I'm an Uber driver and I'm building myself back. I was in tech. I was living in New York.
I was living in LA. And my dream was have a 98 C2S 911 because I've always been a Porsche fan.
And I go, really? what inspired that? He says, well, you probably don't know this. I'm
not from America. I'm from Holland. But the Dutch had police cars, especially when I was younger,
these early 70s, 911 police cars. Now you had just showed me a picture of one.
I said, I'm sorry. He goes, they had these 911 T Targa police cars.
How does this happen? How does this, how does this happen?
And the hair is standing up on the back of my neck. And I go, Ard, I'm going to freak you out right
now. Look at this picture that my friend Paul Zuckerman just sent me. He goes, yes, that's it.
That's the car. He goes, what's happening? And I go, we just bought that car from Jerry
Seinfeld. He had no idea about me or the show or anything else. And pure coincidence.
Just losing my mind. So we have the greatest ride. You can only imagine at that point,
we're talking about cars, what he saw. I'm telling him about this car, where I'm going. I said,
why don't you come with me into the garage? He got a little nervous. He's like, what's going to
happen there? And I go, no, I have to say, we have liquor for you. All you want. You know,
you're a Porsche guy like we are. I just want to show you some of the cars that are in here.
Look, here's a picture. There's Ard. I brought him in. I didn't know what you had in here,
Zuckerman, but I showed him the 944. Look at the 67S was there. This guy was flipping out.
We had the greatest kind of 15 minutes of Porsche fun before he got called to another ride.
But what a story. I immediately called you. Jerry and Jerry said,
that car was meant to be with you guys meant to be. He goes, now I know, because we always,
we talk about these funny moments of the secreticity that happened to us. This was by far the biggest.
Absolutely. Isn't that a crazy story? That is so weird. And here is the car right here.
And we're going to take you through it. But damn, fate fate has intervened on our side again,
again, the higher power, higher power in our lives. I like to think God sounds like Lauren
Michaels. Have a guy sucked into the engine, please. So despite can have a quiet weekend.
That's exactly what prevented your cousin you never met from coming.
You get over the meat and intestines in his that he's seeing on the side one.
Okay. Anyway, here it is, the Dutch police car. Now here, Zuckerman, you and I talk about this,
like this car was on Cabello garage for a little while. And it was, you know,
listed properly as a former Dutch police car. And what was slightly confusing about that,
I think and kept it from being sold was fortunately it never and fortunately,
yes, it never really entered service. So this was a car that was intended for Queen
Beatrix of the Netherlands. It was going to be in a parade for her. And it was the last car loaded
at the factory onto the truck. And it was damaged in that left rear quarter. So I guess it's on the
passenger side rear quarter. So because it was damaged, it never went to Holland.
Did you know all the stories are coming or not? I had a different story as usual.
But but you've you're now have the correct story. I called Sam up. Yes, you got the real story.
So this car never went to the Netherlands in the beginning. It was put in a warehouse and the factory
sold it to a friend of Porsche. I don't know who that person's what that person's name is.
But it essentially stayed in Germany. Now, the guy who buys it from Porsche,
he puts it in a warehouse and keeps it there until 2006, undriven. With a little damage.
It's a new 911 with a little ding in the corner. And it's an undriven 911. Okay. And as you'll
notice, none of the police or police a has a right, right? Because all of that stuff happened
after the fact. Okay. The guy who owns it in the warehouse dies. It's bought by another guy in
Germany. He decides he's going to sell it. And he puts it in Octane magazine, where Jerry and Sam
see it. Okay. As a essentially a brand new 911 with no months on it. So he goes to buy the car.
And sometime around 2007, 2008, the deal's taking a while to get done. The seller lets on,
they haven't repaired the ding damage yet. You told me that the photos that they had sent
were of the undamaged parts of the car. The other side of the car. But I mean, the damage is just
one ding. So they shot the other side of the car and they said, don't worry, it's being repaired.
That of course, you know, triggers Sam Cabilio, who's Jerry's guy, the consigliary,
the ultimate consigliary. He's like Tom and the Godfather repair. Most of us, 90% of people will
go, Oh, great, it's going to be repaired. The better 10% go, I need to know how the repair is
being executed and what exactly is done and the rest of it. So Sam gets on a plane and flies to
Germany to inspect the car. He looks at the car, he's he looks at the repair work that they're
doing. He goes, this is fantastic. There are a couple other little things I'd like to do.
And Jerry buys the car. It stays in Jerry's collection.
Almost 20 years, 20 years. I drove this soon after he bought it and couldn't believe what I was
driving. I was dry. I felt like again, that time traveler experience where I was driving a car
out of the factory brand new that you can't replicate this feeling, this preservation
feeling, right? I don't care how well the car is restored. Yeah, it's never it's never the same.
And then if you open the door, Cameron, the only thing that says police car is the door sill,
right down there, the vinyl strip. Where is that? Well, the vinyl strip is just inside that the
rocker panel. So for muddy boots, instead of having carpet, you see, and the little those
little bins that are in front, those have vinyl. So you so you can see that in between the seat
and the metal strip. That should be carpet on a regular car. That's vinyl for police
wear and tear. It's on the other side. Yes, there are there are two more features actually
that denote this as a Dutch police car. One, you would you could get on some other cars,
but all Dutch police cars had that rear wiper that you see on the glass, which is absolutely
fantastic. But those are also on early 9 11. Those are also but that was something I always
ordered. And then there is a passenger side mirror. If you're in the driver's seat,
you do not see that mirror at all. If you were in the driver's seat, you wouldn't even know
that mirror is there. That mirror is designed for the police passenger to be to be looking behind
and keeping his eyes on what's happening out there. So more than it being a police car,
to us, it's just an ultra low mileage 9 11. Zip in on that odometer and let's look at the
kilometers we have there. Where are we at? Have you been driving the hell out of this?
I have been. I've been. I've been close to 500 kilometers in the past. So there's the original
mileage 4,944 kilometers, which is a little over two grand, right? No, it's a little over
three little over 3000 original miles 9 11. Exceptional. These are Zenith triple throat
carbs. They run so good that, you know, if you were racing back in the day, you like those Zenith
carbs because it gave you a lot more power. And when I was chatting with Sam, he said,
I don't need to tell you, Spike, the 2.2 T's are a sweet spot for a 9 11. They certainly are.
And in my journey in Porsche and collecting, the first thing I want to was a 9 11 s 1979 11 s.
Those are fantastic cars. They're very full of character. They're they're unusual in how they
perform. And I would never have thought I'm not getting any just regular 9 11 T. It's it's a regular
car. This car is so good. I can't believe how good a 1970 or 71 9 11 T is. This is the only car
anyone would ever need. Does it have back seats in the back seats? It has lots of yellow rags there.
Does it have the seat belts in the back? I probably not lift up, lift up one of those back seats
carefully. If you can get in there, see if there's a seat belt back there. No, probably doesn't.
Could you imagine putting a little prisoner back there? You know, the people in the Netherlands
are the tallest people in the world. The women average six feet, the men I think are like six
feet two. How are you going to put a big drunken Flemish or Dutch guy back there? It's traffic
control. So I learned this with the police a VW Beetle. I drove Jerry's 356 Dutch police car the
other day and it had the double rear view mirror in the center for the same reason so that the other
officer in the passenger seat could be there. But I've been told by our listeners that directing
traffic was why this was a target, why the 356 was an open top. They could put their hands up or
direct traffic or reach out or step up or sit up and they like to have an open air experience.
And it drives right. It's like an incredible driving experience. I can't believe how much I love
this car. Wow. I think the goal will be to put 100,000 kilometers on it before you and I expire
in 2028. Following the wild Jerry, collecting his droppings, collecting Jerry droppings. Someday
when we drive these we'll call this the Seinfeld Crumb Collection. Yes, exactly. You can just imagine
if these are the crumbs that fall from his table, what that man has in his collection. We are like
hungry dogs getting the scraps. But it's fun because here we have cars again staying in our
little circle of friends. And like I said, Jerry can take it anytime he wants now and drive it.
You can enjoy the money. We can enjoy the car. And I actually think he
enjoyed seeing how much we enjoy this car. It gave him some pleasure.
Well, you're, I mean, you're really driving them. You're driving this in the 356. I'm enjoying the
718. It's a really funny moment of car driving right now. Like I'm really happy in the 718 just
bopping around in that and driving press cars and you're super happy in these ultra little
miles. I think we should take the target top off today. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, for sure.
It will fold up and fit right in that little front boot. Yep. Really nice car. Really nice car for
Morris Solomon's Prevea Fine Automobiles Collection. Yes, we are now officially. We are now officially
a dealership. We've been certified by the state of California and we have lots of plans coming.
Scott Rulo is our head of sales sitting over off to the side here. We're discussing the next
moves. We are employees. This is the first time I am employed by somebody else in over three decades.
Your son Dell is the general manager of the dealership and he already gave, he told you
not to do some things. Yes, we won't really get into it, but he's like, no, I'm not comfortable
with that. He made an executive decision. He, he's throwing his weight around. Yeah.
All right, let's do some ads. Today's show is sponsored in part by our friends at McGuire's.
McGuire's is celebrating 125 years in 2026 and new for 2026 McGuire's luxury collection whole car
air refreshers. Oh, I have them right here, Zuckerman. Oh, I thought I was going to drink that.
I've been huffing them. I thought that was like one of those booze bombs as your co-host lost
his fresh smell. These premium car air fresheners instantly fight odors while leaving behind a
long lasting refreshing scent. They're simple to use aerosols that penetrate the complete
interior by moving through the ventilation system. You know what you do with this?
Dump it on Liebman? No, you close the windows, you throw the bomb in,
you turn on the air system and it sucks it all in and then you roll the windows down and everything
smells great. So they went to the weed guys too. They, they, they hotbox in the car. They get a lot
of weed going. Exactly right. And then, and then they put recirculate. This is a proper, a good use
for hotboxing. Yes. You make your car smell like Dubai Sands right there. The new luxury collection
uses ultra premium ingredients sourced from the best global fragrance houses in the world.
These carefully curated scents will transform your car from a chore to a retreat. Scents include
island volcano, stargazer, tropical forest, rainforest and Dubai Sands. What is island
volcano smell like? Where do we find this stuff? Spike, advanced auto parts, O'Reilly auto parts
and Amazon. Check them out. McGuire is, McGuire is, thank you for sponsoring the show.
Today's show also sponsored by our friends at Racetech Flooring. Racetech gets a cost effective
durable. Oh, hey, look at this. Wow. That looks, the guy that looks like me. He's cool. He's got
a Memphis only jacket. That is a leather theory jacket. So that's the Zuckerman. But I haven't,
I don't know how to use it outside of that day because it feels too cool for a guy. You know
what I mean? The leather jacket, the top jacket. You're already wearing leather. It's your skin.
You don't need any, any more leather. Anyway, there's my hangar at Santa Monica airport with my
Racetech. I shouldn't even have to read the ad at this point. Look at how good that looks.
Self training. You know what the one big pang of regret I'm feeling right now.
Don't even say. Okay. Don't say it. That thing I'm leaning on. Yes.
God damn it. Is that you? It's like a turtle man version of me.
Doesn't even look like you. No, it doesn't. But, but, but the floor looks great. Anyway,
check out Racetech. They manufacture 24 seven ship most orders within 48 hours.
Racetech is the original USA made multi patented modular flooring system
engineered for the garage. Head to racetech.com slash SCR or Racetech.com slash Bikescar radio.
Oh, I have two sites for an exclusive 15% off garage flooring. And to see that picture of me,
turtle man, Spike Ferreston. Hello. Hello. Killed a lot of people.
I killed those Hitler guys. Yeah. And now I have an ST correction used to have.
Look at that poster in the 914 there. This is kind of a shot, a picture of full of regret,
Zuckerman. Because not only that, but that 914 up there that won Le Mans in 1970.
You had that. We had a chance to buy that and we blew it. Now someone else owns it.
But I knew where that car was. It was in storage and we could have restored it.
God damn it. Yeah. It's a 914 6 GT that just happened to win its class in Le Mans.
Another thing we fucked up.
Once again. Once again. All right. I was going to do dear Zuckerman today,
but there's a bit of a controversy in our car community here in Southern California
that I thought maybe you could rule on. All right. I'd be happy to. So let me set the table.
Once again, we're talking about this guy, Evan, the Canyon Carver. He's, for some reason, he's
been in every show for like the last three weeks and he's in it again because, you know, here,
we're going to have to put our headphones on. You can just hold them up. He posted this video
last week and it's pretty self-explanatory. Check it out.
There's a guy in the car community here in LA who leads a bunch of very wealthy individuals with
very fancy cars on a drive every Sunday morning. This is true. At a coffee shop and then they go
for a drive. Yep. I know they happen to know that they drive super recklessly. They cross the
mustard. They're going to kill someone. When he says cross the mustard. So up in the canyons
above Malibu, it's not as bad as Angeles crest, but there's a lot of bad driving going on and
people getting hurt, people getting killed, et cetera, et cetera. And one thing the CHP likes
to do up there is they want to make sure no one crosses the double yellows. The mustard. The mustard
as he says, don't cross the mustard, which is funny, but I've actually seen them sit up at the snake
CHP with binoculars and watch for anybody. Motorcycles or otherwise who cross that yellow line
and then they write you a ticket because traffic coming the other way around a turn, you can die
very quickly, especially for motorcycles. And I have quite a few of those cases. Yeah. And you
have a few and apparently Evan lost a good friend. There was a, there was a fellow who died last
month just in a passenger car got hit and you know, oncoming traffic. So he's very passionate
about this. And as we know, you know, this LA is gigantic. There's no way for the police to
police the entire city of LA. It's just massive. So he's kind of become this vigilante up in the
canyons, you know, filming people, but also talking to them and asking them not to, as he says,
cross the mustard. Go ahead and play the rest of the leader of this group in the past. And he
basically says, I'm a race car driver. I know what I'm doing, which may be fine and dandy,
but the people in this group certainly don't know what they're doing. And he is a bad influence.
I'm going to the road that they drive on to hopefully capture this terrible driving in action.
This is hilarious. Here he is now. I hear him. guess he doesn't have a job because
he can sit out here all day. I got you, you bastard. Don't cross the mustard.
He flit me off.
Don't cross the mustard.
So they hear the answer.
Don't cross the mustard. Fuck you guys. Fuck you. Don't cross the mustard, you bitch.
I love this video.
Crossing the mustard. Not Canyon Carver approved.
Did you see that awesome blue GT3 RS?
Yeah, it's really nice.
Not Canyon Carver approved.
Okay, so there you go. So you've seen the video. So it's a flagrant violation. It's also dangerous.
And the fellow they're talking about there is this guy, Court Wagner, who has this group.
I've been invited to go in this group, and this is precisely why I've never accepted that invitation.
Why do I want to do that? Why do I want to be driving with you folks?
But this went viral in California in our little group. And there's two kind of distinct sides
to it. There are two sides. There are. There's the Canyon Carver side of like, hey, let's just
be safe if we're going to drive up there and not get our community in trouble. And then there's
the, you know, people who feel like the Canyon Carver is a bit of a Karen out there, you know,
with his camera, which I thought that video was funny. It really made me laugh. And I can't
believe he actually caught the guy. Okay, so this was freestanding by itself for a couple of hours
until this video came from our friends at Angela's Death Highway. This is the AI guy that I've
avoided talking about up until now. Canyon Carver. And I've had it with these rich,
morons crossing mustard. Oh my God, it's corkwagger, my arch nemesis, crossing the mustard.
But don't you understand? I'm a professional. I'm allowed to do this.
Somebody has to stop him. I'm posting this on Instagram and everyone's going to hate me.
Oh, look, a GT3 RS just crashed. That's nothing new, is it?
Is that you? No, it doesn't be.
There's no cops, just a Karen trying to act like one.
What's up with all of these bloody GT3 RS drivers? Every time I open my phone,
GT3 RS is in a place it shouldn't be. No more, Mr. Nice Guy. I'm done with you mustard cutters.
Okay, that's actually good. It's actually the first pretty good one, right?
Yeah. They're doing a pretty decent job. And you know, I've met the kid who's running this and
he's got a good sense of humor about it and passionate about cars. And you know, a GT3 RS
had just gone off the edge a couple of weeks ago, right?
With some kids and they had, by the way, rented that car.
You heard that story? Yeah.
I've known that for a little while. Who told you that? You know what I'm going to say.
I don't know, but I knew it. I knew that, yeah.
There's more to that story. Yeah.
Rented it from someone whose car he borrowed from his dad. Yeah.
Yeah. Do you know the whole story?
Yeah. And that becomes a very big problem with insurance because if you, you know,
if I have a car and I'm renting it, it's no longer, it's no longer really insured.
That's not the purpose for which I bought my regular car insurance.
Yes. The car insurance is not going to cover me in a business.
Yes. So getting back to our friend, Mr. Wagner and Evan, the Canyon Carver, I know that
court had reached out to the AI guy and said, we have to talk.
Oh, really? About what?
About what? I don't know. I don't know if he's, you know, but in his video,
he says there's a freestanding feud between them. I reached out to Evan and he said,
not really. And he sent me a bunch of back and forth texts where he just very, very nicely
said to him, he's like, look, man, you know, if you're going to, if you're, I'm not trying to
stop you from enjoying yourself in the canyon, but you can't cross over on the yellows because
someone eventually is going to get hurt, whether you're a professional race car driver or not.
I don't even know if he, this guy is, I know he's a finance guy that's won some races. I don't know
what, which came first, but you've seen all of this. I've sent you the messages, right?
What, what's your take on it? Give us your take, decide this because, you know, like I said,
there are some people who feel like Evan's acting like a Karen. And I think there are a lot of
people who are like, this guy's driving like an idiot in the canyons, but it's pretty, it's pretty
split. Okay. It's pretty simple in my opinion. It is pretty simple. Don't shoot the messenger,
right? We know about shooting the messenger, put Evan aside. What we're looking at is conduct.
Mr. Wagner's part is really indefensible. You can't drive like that. And when you're doing that,
you have to concede. Yeah, I'm not driving right. And I'm encouraging other people not to drive right.
And saying you're a race car driver, well, you know, a couple of times people said to me,
did you tell them you're a lawyer? And I said, you know, saying in an argument that I'm a lawyer is
really just saying I'm an asshole, right, proclaiming that you have some greater knowledge,
ability, putting it out there is just code for saying I'm an asshole. And really, it's not
about whether you're a lawyer or a race car driver. It's about let's just exercise some common sense
here. Driving like this up in the hills is bad. And I'm going to point something out. And Court and I
I've had nice conversations with him, but he's very much a law and order guy. He very much is a
law and order guy. Yeah. And one of the things that I think we all suffer from, but some more than
others is hypocrisy. Okay, don't be a law and order guy, don't point your finger at other people
saying look how bad these people are, and then break the law and say you're above it because
you're something, you know, you got to try to be as consistent in this world as you possibly can.
And when you were caught on video driving this way, you got to concede and say, you know what,
I was driving like an asshole, and I'm encouraging people to do that. And if I want to teach people
how to drive, I have to do that in a responsible environment. You know, the first racing school
I went to was gym hall racing and carts. And I remember the very first thing they said, they
said, this is where you race. Yeah. You come here, you don't do this stuff on public roads.
They then they said it at Skip Barber. Same speech. This is where you race and fool around.
You don't do that on public. It's the first rule of racing. He must have heard that.
He's a racer. He must have heard that. I'm a professional racer. Yeah. Yes. I think you make
a very, very good point. Don't shoot the messenger. And, and by the way, I've got no problem with
Evan as a vigilante up there just trying to keep people safe because we've seen the death.
We've seen the deaths. I've seen, I have a lot of people that are hurt and injured. Yeah. By people
crossing the double yellows and coming head on into traffic and some people that have really
messed up as a result of it. Well, unfortunately, court didn't really take your advice. All he did
was a couple of days later post this picture. Here I am with a sheriff, 40 years of dedicated
service on waving. I think the idea being I'm tight with law enforcement, even though I just
broke the law. Yeah. It's so I took a page from Angelus death highway and threw it through my AI
machine and fixed his post for him. Here I am. The sheriff just arrested me for driving like an
idiot. I think this guy is going to be mad at you. I hope he takes it with a sense of humor.
Like the whole thing. You know, what do we talk about? This should have been an 11th
commandment, which is don't take yourself too seriously. Mr. Wagner, the 11th commandment
is for you at this moment. Yes. Enjoy. Laugh at this. Have a laugh. laugh at
this. Can you cover? Have a laugh. Everyone have It's not going to
show. Do you have that side up? Put that up. Palisades is having its first car show in June
and every one of us is going to be there. So sparks are going to fly. Fisticuffs.
The candy car is going to be there. I'm going to be there. You're going to be there. Everybody's
going to be there. Leno is going to be there. What's the guy's name again? Court Wagner is going
to be there. Let's hope there's a little dust up and there's either going to be a dust up or there's
not and these proceeds are going to be benefiting the YMCA. This isn't an ad. I'm just telling you,
this is if you would now. There's now some high drama leading into this car show in the Palisades.
200 plus curated vehicles, 3,000 plus attendees, one or two fights scheduled on the lawn.
That's a wild story, isn't it, Suckerman? Yeah. It's a really wild story.
So you've rented your judgment. All right. Let me talk about Vredestine tires right here.
Wow. I was with, look at those. You know what those car tires look like? The Ice Raider. Remember
the Swedish Ice Raider? Of course. I was down at Jerry's Hangar and looking at some of his cars
and on this old Mercedes that we drove. What was that old Mercedes diesel that he had that with
the little, the 230D? Yeah, the green one. 240D? Yeah. The green one. I drove that car.
How was it? The glow plug. Glow plug. It was incredible. It was really an incredible driving
experience. When I got it back to the hangar, I looked at the tires and they had Vredestine
tires on it. They had the classic sprint, classic tire on it. And I remember that Jerry put a bunch
of Vredestine tires on a lot of his cars and we were looking at the cars in there, the Volkswagen's,
the old Beatles. They're really great tires. I now have the hyper track on our Model Y.
Put them on there without my wife knowing. She drove the car. She goes,
what's different about my car? I go exactly quieter, better driving. Vredestine. She noticed.
Anyway, what we like about Vredestine heritage, European performance and design. More than a
century of experience, a European brand engineered for performance and now available
in North America. Now available in North America. Demand a better tire, demand Vredestine. Check
them out. Vredestine.com. Today's show also sponsored by Pocket Hose. Pocket Hose. Hey, fellas.
What? You have a pocket hose. There it is. Well, we all have pocket hoses. Now you can have one
for your house. That's right. I have that one right there. I'm excited to tell you about the
world's number one expanding garden hose and their brand new product, the Pocket Hose Ballistic.
This isn't a Bluetooth ad. Garden hose. This is a great hose, Zuckerman. As I was telling listeners
yesterday, I put this on one in my backyard under my son's window. There is a little spout there.
And I had to fertilize the hydrangea and I needed to put some water on those little fertilizer stones
and I had my pocket hose right there. It was a good experience. It was a nice 10 minutes of my
life while you're laughing. It's just the whole ad copy expandable. You have an expandable pocket
hose. Do you know what's good? See that hose? I see it expanding. It's good about these hoses,
okay? When it's down low like this, it's easy to store. And then when it fills with water,
it's enlarged. There's no more of that big plastic-y hose experience. I've had this experience
personally on one or two occasions. There are two kinds of hoses in the world. The expandable hose,
the one that just hangs there. Yes. Anyway, pocket hoses, we're selling tons of hoses,
by the way. They're super psyched and we're super psyched to have them as a sponsor. Pocket hose,
the number one expandable hose in the world. Super light, easy to manage, easy to store.
Turn the water on and it grows. Turn the water off and it shrinks back to pocket size. This is
not a blue chew ad. And now for a limited time, when you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic,
you'll get a free 360 degree rotating pocket pivot. Imagine if your pocket hose could pivot,
Suckerman, what you could do with it. And a free thumb drive nozzle. Would you want your
pocket hose to pivot? I would love for it to pivot. I would love for it to have different settings,
different sprays, different forces. Hold on, honey. Hold on. Let me set this right.
Which would you use? Cone or angle for you? Or mist? I would definitely stream.
Like a nice mist. How about flat? Imagine being able to mist as I go.
Should go. That's very pleasant, Spike. Anyway, just text Spike to 64,000. That's Spike
to 64,000 for your two free gifts with purchase. Text Spike to 64,000. Message and data rates,
for your misting pocket hose. No, we've got a new thing to do here for the pocket hose ad. Now I'm
excited to do pocket hoses. All right, we got to talk about this new Polestar four behind us.
Let's go to that. So here it is, the Polestar four. You know what these guys are doing,
Zuckerman? What? They're naming their cars in order, in sequence. Polestar one, Polestar two,
Polestar three, and here we have Polestar four. And if you grew up with posters of cars on your
wall and you were the type of kid that dreamed of something Swedish designed but built in China
and Korea, this is your car. This is an electric car. It is a luxury electric car. Let me go through
some stats on this guy. 544 horsepower. It starts at $56,000. That color is called electron blue.
It's actually very beautiful. This car has tested $80,000. What kind of range do we have? We have
280 miles. And the best way to think about this car is it's the Viori or the Lululemon of electric
cars. It really has that weird techy vibe to it. You know what I mean? Even the interior is called
SportTech. It's like this kind of athletic tech shirt, that kind of flexible stuff that you wear
type vehicle. Now, what you're asking yourself, what segment is this? What am I considering
if I'm considering the Polestar four? Mechani V, BMW iX, SQ6 Audi, or maybe this guy. Look,
it's pretty attractive, right? It's a very beautiful looking thing. It's a nice looking blob.
It's a nice looking electric thing. I can tell you, it really drives well. It's very fast,
quick. It's about like low threes, 33 I guess, when it's in its most powerful mode there.
I think it looks good. Look at the show. It's up in the back window there or lack there.
Yeah. What is that? Here's one of the first design things with it. That here, I guess the best way
to show it is go to the profile of the car and pull back. There's no window. You see that sea
pillar? Yeah. That used to be kind of a controversial design in the previous Polestar. I don't know
which number it was, two or one, but it didn't quite look right. It kind of came down quicker
and then it showed a trunk. And in that trunk, there was not a lot of room. So one of the early
criticisms of the Polestar was there's not enough room for stuff. So what did they do? They decided
to take that sea pillar and that roof line and kind of make it slope down and look cooler,
which they achieved and it looks really cool. But in doing so, they had to make a decision about a
rear window and they decided to get rid of it. Who do you look behind him? If you want it sloped
that way, if you look at the top of the headrest in the back seat, there's no real way to have a
rear window there. You can open up the back. Oh, by the way, here, come back here.
You're highlighting one of the problems with the car. Take this guy.
Getting the damn thing open, but we'll get to that. Back seats are pretty sweet. Like,
because it has that lack of rear window and sloping, those seats are just in the back. You can
push them back. They go back like an airline seat, which I haven't seen before. But if you
go ahead, pan up and look, you're kind of in the back of something. There's no way to look out.
By the way, you've got one of those glass ceilings right there. You press a button,
it lightens up and darkens up and you can see. It's kind of like a party in there. Pretty cool.
I don't mind it. So in eliminating the window sacrament, we have more room in the trunk.
What about looking back there? We have cameras. You'll see it. See that rear view mirror in the
front seat. There are the cameras. When you're backing up, you can use your side mirrors,
obviously, and that electronic rear view monitor right there to back up. Does that work? It does.
In most cases, but you can see right there, see the Range Rover in the mirror right there.
Can you tell the issue? Well, it doesn't give you the proper depth of field.
Yeah. And you can't really see a lot. It's not like looking over your shoulder out of it.
And look, they're right. When you're driving, you won't miss it. You won't even think about it.
But here's where it gets tricky in close quarters. So I was backing up in my driveway or I was in
a parking garage or I was pulling into here. It's a little dicey because you're not getting
enough coverage. I'm sure I could have popped something up on the monitor, but I didn't want to.
You know what I mean? I get one of those 3D versions of where the car is and
it feels a little strange and claustrophobic, but it's not a deal breaker by any stretch of the
imagination. One of the other little issues I've been having with it, and this is something they
really have to change. You know, great sound system, by the way, great driving experience,
great steering, very comfortable. Everything's fantastic about it. So it's definitely a good
car. They're just little things that I want to tell them to stop doing. The key has no buttons
on it. So when you're approaching it, there's the key right there, right? You know, I've got my hands
full, usually tennis equipment or other stuff. And I want to open that rear hatch automatically.
I don't have access to the app, so I wasn't able to do that. But I was told when I get close to the
car, it's going to unlock, and then I have to kick underneath a license plate. And it's going to
work here, I can already tell because it's talking. Go ahead and do the kick. But when you got your
hands are full of shit. You don't want to be kicking a car like this. It's dumb. It's just a
stupid extra step. It's an extra step. Put a button on the key fob, please. No more of this
kicking. Outdoors, it doesn't work. It has nine out of 10 times. I was unable to get the car
thing open with everything down, going around to the driver's side, unlocking the car.
Why won't it work outside? Light conditions? Maybe. I thought it was the key fob in the
battery, so I replaced it and it didn't work. So, you know, again, it's that's not a deal breaker
thing. But every time I drive it, it's happening. It started to color my view. Yeah, my happiness
with the car because when I look at it, I think it's very well designed, very beautiful exterior
design, very nice interior design. I like the whole Viori Lululemon idea concept of it. The price
point is a little expensive. The range is a little short. It's just got these weird things and weird
is the word. You know, it's just got these little weird flaws in it that they have to kind of fix
and get right. Like here's another example, like the key fob which unlocks the door.
Sometimes I was all the way up to the door and it didn't unlock it and then I'm pushing the key
against the car. Oh, gosh. As it starts to open, I grab the handle, but I grab it too quickly and
then it closes on my hand with my hand in it. I could never tolerate this car. Forget it. There's
no way I was trying to pull it. That wasn't it. It's like when it was opening, but it just gives
you a little bite and you're just like, give me buttons on the key fob and it solves the problem.
And I'm sure the Polestar guys are going to message me after and go, if you had the app,
you could do it all on the app and that's fine. But I don't have the app, but it's a winner.
It's a good car. And here's another thing. Give it a name. You know,
we made a movie about breakfast cereal and we talked about the fact that without the idea and
the picture of the leprechaun and the bowl and the name Lucky Charms, it's just a bag of horse feed.
And Polestar 4 doesn't resonate. It doesn't resonate. Nobody craves owning a Polestar 4.
They want an idea here and I know it's hard to clear stuff globally, but they need an idea.
You got to give these things names because they're coming out with cool stuff. The 5,
the 6, there's a Roadster. You know, call it internally the 4, the 5, the 6, but give these
things names. Please. But I like the car. Blue blob. Polestar blob. Yeah. Okay. Come on back.
Bring it back. And then we're going to bring Phil. Phil Rezudo in with his big surprise car.
Before we do that, we're going to talk about acre gold. Get acre gold. Slash spike 9-11.
Don't come out of pocket for expensive gold. What's the price of gold? If people had bought
gold when we recommended, they would be quite wealthy right now. We were talking about acre
when it was $2,000 an ounce. And now look, here it is. Pay in every month until your gold
stash reaches the price of acre gold bars, then acre discreetly shipped gold directly to your home.
Oh, what are those golds? Those are collectible golds.
I don't have that one. I have the Hot Wheels gold. Yeah, I have that gold. Really? Yeah,
they sent me some Hot Wheels gold. I have my little gold sliver. I found it. Yeah. Oh, good.
I just lost it. Don't lose it. I have the little acre gold box. We can put them all together in
there. Anyway, acre gold also has $50, $100, $250 per month options for larger gold bars. And acre
is backed by the same team who funded Liquid Death, Canned Water. Some customers have been
subscribed for over five years. And gold, keep in mind, is up over 60% in the past year alone.
Isn't that amazing? There you go. Amazing. Available through subscription or buy it now.
You can just buy it now. And if I were you, it says here, oh, wait, there are 11 grams of 24-karat
gold in Hot Wheels. Collect your car packaging. Those are the ones to get because they're collectibles.
Check it out. Getacregold.com slash bike911. And go for the gold ride with us. Keep in mind,
I know nothing about financial planning before you do it. All right, open the hangar doors and let
Phil in. What is this? I don't know. Oh, what? What? Are you, what? It appears to be
okay. It appears to be a big red wagon mobile radio flyer. Hey, Phil, how are you?
Holy, holy shit. Good to see you. you too.
Well, let's start and tell us, you know, last time you were here, you brought the boat car,
which brought many smiles to people around the world. What do you have for us today?
So this is a radio flyer. It's the whole chassis is a Ford Explorer. I see. Yeah.
And how did you, did you drive this here on the street or was this on a tow or a flat?
This is, this is fully street legal. This, this goes down the road. This is smooth sailing.
What, what, what highways were you on today? Let's see. We took the one on one to the 405.
405 was backed up. So a lot of photos as I was going. He's on the 404. Okay. Do you wear goggles?
Sunglasses. I do, I do have goggles, but I have a receding hairline, so I prefer not to wear them.
Yeah. You can't, you can't drive a wagon without your wagon goggles.
Yeah. Those are ski goggles, by the way. This is amazing. You must, people must lose their mind
when they see you on the freeway. Yeah. I mean, I feel like this brings more attention than anything
on the road. Can I go down? Yes. I wonder why. Can I ask you a couple of questions about it?
Sure. Sure. What is it? I know it's a Ford Explorer underneath, but the wagon part,
how did this come to be?
You know what? I saw this, somebody, the new somebody sent me a guy that owned this down in
like Alabama or Arkansas or something like that. The guy had built it and I fell in love with it.
I messaged the guy, found the guy in Facebook and said, if you want to sell it, let me know.
I'm ready to buy it. And a few years later, he sold it to me. And did he explain what it was?
No, I didn't ask. Did he explain the why? No, honestly, I just wanted it so badly.
I didn't care why he was selling it or the price or anything. It was just,
when he was ready, I was ready to take it. So you never said,
why did you build a big red wagon mobile? No, no, I didn't ask him that.
Fantastic. It didn't matter to you. It didn't matter. It was the fact that it was built and
it was just incredible. It makes sense to him. It totally does. It just makes sense to him.
Like, of course you have, of course, this guy did this. Yes. And why bother us?
Phil, you have a big collection of things like this. What do you do with them?
Aside from bringing them onto our show and bringing joy to millions.
I just, I just like driving them. I think they're cool or different, you know,
a little bit of everything. Okay. Well, what does it drive like since you like driving this?
Honestly, this drive is great. Like this out of, it drives better than some exotic cars I have.
Like it floats like a Rolls Royce. The handling is pretty decent on it. You're not trying to be
funny. No, I'm being dead serious. Like this is, this is an incredible driving car. I don't know
if it's because it has no like metal work on it. It's super light, but it has no lots of stuff on
it. It has no, it has no windshield. It is windy. It is pretty bad in
the wind. Like going for the Sepulveda pass was, was awful. My hat almost flew off like four times.
All right. So Phil, I want you to know. That's not a surprise, Phil. Show us the driving position.
Take camera and over and show us where you sit to drive this. Yeah. So it's, it's, oh look,
it's got front seats. It's pretty basic Ford on the inside. If you want to take a look here,
we, we've got four seats dashboard, everything just sit like a normal car.
You don't want to drop anything out your pockets because the sides are just open to the road.
There's no carpet in it. You know, there's no luxury products. AC doesn't work. Heat doesn't
work. It's just, just you in the car. Do you have a speedometer in it? It doesn't work.
What would you estimate your top speed has been in this car so far?
I mean, I, I cruise with highway speed. I could be in the left lane and, you know,
I'm passing people without a problem. So it, it goes, you're passing people in this. I'm,
I'm passing people. I don't even know what to say. I'm not sure what to say. Do you have the
police? Have they ever pulled you over in this and gone, what are you doing? Passing people
on the radio flyer? On my way here, I had a motorcycle officer on the highway say, dude,
that's awesome. So that's why we love California. Do you see that? Yeah. They're into it. They're
into it. You can drive a radio flyer down the highway, pass people and the police give you a
thumbs up and go, that is awesome. But I did get pulled over once because I didn't have
license plates on inside the car, but just got a warning for that. So you just got a warning
for driving a wagon down the road. This is so unbelievable. Is there a smog? Do you have to
get it smogged? Yeah, there's no check engine lights that passes smog fine.
And do you, are you married, Phil? I am, yes. And will your wife go out in this? Yeah, no,
she loves it. This is one of her favorite cars. Wow. I love this thing. I'm just, I'm speechless
about it. Bill is, and why we keep having him back on is a unique collector with a unique
collection. Tell me that you rent some of this stuff out to studios and TV shows. Do you?
Yeah, if they, if it's something, if I like the project, I'll rent it out to them. It just depends
what it's for. Yeah. But I'm totally open to it. Now, do you have anything in your crosshairs now?
Is there something out there? Yeah, what's your dream weird vehicle? I want a mail truck,
like the Grumman LLV. Yeah, okay. I've been on the hunt for one of those for a few years.
You've been what? I've been on the hunt for that for a few years. I thought you said I'm hot for
one of those. I was like, oh, now I get it. So you mean like an old male beat up mail truck?
Yes, correct. Yeah. Yeah, my mailman, Johnny drives an old beat up mail truck and I was talking in
the other day and had really good like diesel smells in it. I was like, this is kind of a nice
thing. I like this thing. It's kind of open. It's weird and fun. What would you do? Just keep it
in the same livery? Yeah, I think so. Maybe just put like my name on it instead of USPS so I don't
get any legal trouble. So you just put your name on an old mail truck? Feel this fantastic.
Phil is living the California dream. He is. So whatever he wants, drive
I really respect. You know, Phil, last time I was here with James Pumphrey and you had the
boat car, you took us for a drive around town. Will you take Zuckerman and I for a drive?
Yeah, absolutely. Well, thanks for bringing it on. It's always a joy to have you on the show.
That's our show today, ladies and gentlemen. Next week, we'll have the whole crew together.
Good. And right now, go to Patreon. You'll see Zuckerman and I and the radio flyer with Phil.
Drive it around LA, live in the dream. See you next week, Spikes Car Radio.
Parade waves, Zuckerman. Parade waves. We're never coming back.
All right, Phil, you're going to take us once around the block.
About this episode
Spike’s Car Radio kicks off with quick travel/legal talk in Panama, then jumps into a lineup featuring a Polestar 4 EV and a new Porsche 911. The centerpiece is an ultra-low-mileage early 911 with Dutch royal/police provenance—stored in a German warehouse “until 2006, undriven”—and identified by details like “that rear wiper.” Along the way, they compare preservation vs restoration, discuss Zenith triple-throat carbs, and connect the car’s police-spec visibility features to how it’s meant to be driven.
Spike and Zuckerman break down their wild acquisition of a 1971 Porsche 911 T Targa with only 4,000 original kilometers. Then, the 'Don't Cross the Mustard' canyon driving controversy heats up, Spike reviews the Polestar 4, and boat car guy Phil rolls in with a street-legal Radio Flyer red wagon built on a Ford Explorer chassis.

Spike and Zuckerman just became official California car dealers under the name Morris Solomon's Purveyor of Fine Automobiles. They kick things off with Zuckerman's Panama trip (Miami, but with more suspicious bank buildings), then launch into the story of their newly acquired 1971 Porsche 911 T Targa, a former Dutch police car. It's got 4,000 original kilometers, Zenith triple-throat carbs, vinyl door sills for muddy cop boots, and a story so good Jerry Seinfeld called it 'meant to be.'
Then things get spicy in the canyons. The hosts unpack the LA car community feud between Evan the Canyon Carver and pro racer Cort Wagner, who got caught on camera crossing the double yellow and didn't exactly apologize for it. Zuckerman delivers the verdict: crossing the mustard is indefensible, and claiming superior skill as your defense just means you're an a**hole.
Spike then reviews the Polestar 4, a genuinely impressive EV with a baffling flaw: no rear window. Just a camera. He also takes issue with the buttonless key fob, the unreliable kick-to-open trunk, and the brand's insistence on using numbers instead of names.
The episode closes with Phil and his masterpiece: a fully street-legal, highway-capable Radio Flyer red wagon built on a Ford Explorer chassis. He's driven it on the 405. He's passed people.
