LIVE
We should really do the 20 questions with him.
We're doing it right now.
I mean, we started recording.
This is ridiculous.
If I'm catching up, everyone here, just let me catch him up.
Hold on, Johnny came in hung over and asked him the 20 questions.
You asked someone who you know has a drinking problem to try to turn
that light on in them, right?
Yeah, Johnny said, see, I only five of 26 of 20 and you pointed
out any one. Yes, you might be mine.
Do you, for sure, these two are coming from a place of if you if you ever look
at your alcoholic, no, we just coming from a place of we we showed up not hung
over to me. It wasn't hung over.
I looked up one.
I looked up at you for and in a split second, I said, you had steaks and cocktails
last night and you said, yes, how did you know the steak part?
I could just see that by the sludgeiness.
He had sludgey this sludge.
Matt Fair and I did split a 40 ounce Tomahawk.
Oh, my God. Yes, that's why I can tell you.
You're just it.
I mean, the steak prices have gone up crazier than gold and silver.
Yeah, we were. What is a 40?
What is a 40 ounce Tomahawks?
He doesn't care. We were paying.
He's a very strong journalist.
We were told to like enjoy ourselves.
But I believe it was two hundred seventy five dollars for the steak.
Wow. Yeah.
Was this an automotive thing?
No, this was a friend's going away party thing.
Well, today you don't want to breathe.
But just if I had, I had one old fashion and then I had three glasses
of wine over a eight thousand calorie dinner that lasted for two and a half hours.
And I saw that your milk, your molecules were barely moving.
Yeah, because I woke up at four a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep.
Yeah, because of what you put in your stomach.
Sure. OK, that's fine.
But I like like you followed up.
And when's the last time you had a drink?
And I couldn't even tell you it's all right.
We're here for you when you want to, you know, you can tell me.
You can tell me anything.
I'll never. Well, I'll tell you.
I will never repeat about the trial between us.
Childhood. That's it.
Us in the man at the time, we're all here.
Collectively, this was already a nation.
Yes, we're here to help you.
And none of us will say what you hear here stays here.
Right. And when you leave here, let it stay here.
Yeah, whatever whatever that is.
Welcome to Spikes Car Radio.
That was fun. My name is Johnny.
I'll tell you a funny story about that if you want to hear it.
No, let's talk about some of the cars we have here.
Yeah, we've got a great show.
We've got a lot of cars to cover here.
This is exciting. We got Ferraris like crazy.
Let's just get into one.
Let's just get into one of the Ferraris.
Done. And you brought a Lamborghini.
And it has his three series BMW.
But right here behind me, it's not in the shot, though.
It's in the two shot here.
Let's look at that. Oh, look, there it is.
Don't issue.
Chilindry, the finally, the Ferrari 12 C.
Dodie Che Chilindry, the 12 cylinder spider.
Here is the car that I think Matt Farah hadn't talked about on the show.
Johnny, you had it last week.
I had a green one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
OK, so you didn't have this deal. Not this one.
And I got to drive it and I have to say it was very skeptical of this car
just based on its looks.
I didn't quite cotton to it at first until I drove it.
And what I've learned about this is this is the car like the DB 12.
This is that car.
If you're like, if you get the diagnosis
and you have a lot of money and you want to say, fuck it.
Yeah, I want to just blow out my next six months with cigars.
And I don't care what people think of me.
Get it? This is one of those cars like the DB 12.
That Nantucket doctor guy on the boat with the hookers and the mess.
This is his car. Yeah.
820 horsepower.
Of course, it's based on your old car.
So I can remember the Ferrari 365 GTB4 was the whole design idea.
And you can kind of see that in the front of it.
And also attribute to the open top GT cars of the 50s and the 60s.
Two-seater red lines at 9500
RPMs, 062.8 seconds top speed to 11.
Shut up.
Well, it's not for that much power.
That's no. And let me tell you, you know, I know when I talked about this car
with Farrah, I was like, I don't understand who would buy this car.
You know, Zuckerman, you would be a buyer for this.
This car is so like I keep saying effortless is the feeling of it.
Effortlessly fast.
Effortlessly luxurious.
The arrow on the 405.
My hair wasn't being tussled by the air.
It makes the perfect little sound.
It's such a nice thing.
Do you think you could go 211 with an open top?
Yeah, I could in this car. Yeah.
But I like the kind of semi swastika wheels.
I mean, look at it.
Leave him in. Wow. I mean, they are. Wow.
So, you know, the whole idea here is here is, you know, V12 Ferrari soul in this car.
Front engine, long front deck, shorter rear.
Just room for two.
Yeah. Comfortable seating ergonomically right.
I mean, I could I could complain a little bit about the steering wheel
and the haptics on it and the, you know, turning it on and off without a real button.
You know what? It's not that bad.
But it's not that bad in this guy.
It's like adjusting the mirrors as fast as you can, but you only do it once.
It's very big. Yeah, it's huge.
Yet it doesn't feel that way.
Ways probably weighs about 4,000 pounds, right?
At least, yeah.
Probably 4,100 feels really light.
And I don't really have any complaints about it other than the price.
And I don't know who the type of guy that would really buy it.
Like it would take me a big leap, but for the same reasons,
I love the Aston Martin Vanquish like one week vacation.
Yeah. In a luxurious air B&B that's not mine, a beautiful place.
That this car is has delivered a wonderful weekend.
It really is to see the Jag and this together.
You see the relationship between the 60s idea of what a sports car is versus.
Look at the size difference there.
Well, yeah. Jesus, you drove it.
Johnny, what did you think?
Yeah, I mean, I agree with every single thing you said.
I looked up the power peak.
It's actually 818 horsepower, but power peak is 9,250 and the red line is 9,500.
Wow, it's still making power.
Yeah, yeah.
To me, what blew me away was it's a cliche, but Jekyll and Hyde car meeting.
It's a luxury car.
It's like most of the time, it's just a luxury car.
And then you put it in manual mode and you, you know, rev the engine
past 4,000 and it just comes alive and it's a sports car.
So it just really has this dual character.
Whereas like the F 12 was kind of just like a luck.
It was more of a luxury car.
I never really got to the sporty part.
The 812 went way too much in the direction.
It was it never calmed down.
It was just it was really a hard riding, brutal thing where this is like it rides.
The ride quality was kind of the most impressive thing about it.
It really is.
It really is such a luxury car.
But then like I had it up in Angeles Crest twice and like unbelievable.
It just goes right and it handles at the same time.
Let me pop the hood because some of those eight thousand dollar carbon fiber
options are hysterical and the engine go do it.
Go do it.
Let's have a look.
I actually haven't done it yet.
I've only had the car for like 48 hours.
It's very wide to the sculpty, swoopy design of that front hood.
Zuckerman from the driver's seat is different, unique.
I haven't seen it before.
There it is.
And there's the front end of your car.
You like it.
Oh, look at this.
We like that.
Oh.
So go ahead and point out, oh, yeah, I can see it.
This is some of the $90,000 worth of carbon fiber.
That's a very beautiful thing that I'm looking at.
That is, that is a tremendous looking engine.
So, yeah, first of all, look at that.
Like a third of the engine is in the body, like it's in the car.
And then if I remember correctly, the air intakes are about nine grand for the carbon
fiber and then that box up front, that's like five or six grand for that box.
The options are comical.
Yeah, yeah.
But also look at the size of the hood.
Like, like Aston, I remember they brag about how one of their cars at some point
had the biggest piece of aluminum stamping in the automotive industry.
That has to be bigger.
It's giant.
It is giant.
And it's also presents giant when you're in the driver's seat too.
You're looking, but, you know, that's what I mean.
Like when I first got in the car, I went, boy, this feels really big.
And I think I might have been even talking to you, Zuckerman,
when I drove it off the Ferrari lot.
And then as I, you know, I got, you know, on onto Olympic.
I was like, oh, this is nice.
And it doesn't feel as big as it did like three blocks ago.
And then the next day I opened it up and it starts eating traffic
and it eats traffic on the.
It's just does whatever you want it to do, right?
It's really nice at whatever you want to do.
You want to take it to Palm Springs and be on the highway for three hours in this thing.
You'll be completely fine with the top down, completely fine.
And even with a folding hard top, like there's a decent amount of luggage.
It's like, like bring soft bags.
Don't bring, you know, well, I mean, it's not much.
I have my tennis bag in the back there.
That's about the size.
So my six racket bag is in the back, but, but, but it fits snugly.
But that's about it.
I'm definitely in love with that.
Where's the other luggage room?
I was going to show the bill plate.
Yeah, let's see that.
You'll have to press that beautiful key.
I love that Ferrari has that little key holder that sits there.
Yep. Yeah.
You know, you don't have to have it dangling around.
You put it in the nice little square spot.
There he goes.
Johnny's opening it up.
A little bit of a Batmobile feel with those humps.
There's the babelette bag.
But see, oh, there's the build sheet.
OK. Wow. Wow.
Oh, wow.
So those are all the options, Johnny, or just the ones they left off the sticker?
I think it's all.
Dodici, Dodici, Dodici.
Wow. When they first started doing this,
they would actually put the price up there.
Oh, why not?
And then they had, it was, it was just back in the day.
So like, you know, 10 years ago, Apple CarPlay at that time was a $4,000 Ferrari.
She said Apple CarPlay, like four grand.
This is Apple CarPlay.
It all works great. Yeah.
But I mean, that's a humongous tennis bag.
You could take that's closed for two people for the weekend.
Yeah, maybe.
I mean, it fits in there pretty snugly.
But I took a call in the 405 at about 80 miles an hour with the top down.
Totally fine. No one said, are you in a car?
No one said anything. It was fine.
It's really impressive, except for the New Jersey plate.
I don't like New Jersey plates on Ferrari.
It's very rental. Sorry, New Jersey.
Yeah, it just comes across this bad branding.
The two things. So there's the styling,
which I think in person looks much better.
And the green one I had was even better because I saw that car.
It's better. It's cool.
The other thing is like the the engine is quieter than the 812.
So it doesn't scream, which, again, I'm a man of a certain age.
I don't need a screaming V12.
Yeah, you know, I mean, when you've had steaks and martinis.
I don't have any martini. Anyhow, I dig the seats.
I love this yellow stripe right down the center.
But I think everyone who gets this is going to get an aftermarket exhaust
and make it scream. That's what I'll do.
They all do that. Why?
So to be louder than the other guy, I don't know.
I guess. Yeah. Well, it's a perfect thing.
Well, I'm impressed personally. Yeah.
And the engine bay impresses me.
That is just an incredibly beautiful engine with the intakes.
Yeah. That is shockingly beautiful.
Right. It's always nice when something is delivered that just works right.
If it's not for you or it's not for most of the audience,
most people can't afford this and we get that, but it's it's nice.
Whoever's going to get this, good for them.
The question works right. It's worth the money. It's nice.
The question, 12 Cylindry or the 2025
Spikes Car Radio Car of the Year, which was language.
That that's a really a tough choice.
You know, that's it really comes down to, you know,
I was thinking about that yesterday, like, are you the pursuing
the British gentleman fantasy while you drive your car
or are you pursuing the swoopy emotional Ferrari experience?
That's really how I would make that decision, you know,
because we're all driving these cars, whatever you drive,
you're driving with some fantasy of who you want to be or who you think you are.
And that's really how you would decide it,
because obviously money doesn't matter if you're buying this stuff.
The only difference is really is that the Aston is turbocharged.
So this is naturally aspirated, but then only has 500 pound feet of torque
where the Aston, about the same horsepower, they're both around 800 something.
But the Aston is like, I forget 750 pound for work.
So it's like flings you for drive so differently, though.
They say two very distinctly different things to the driver,
regardless of how they're set up.
They just say different, at least to me, they said different things.
100 percent. And also, I mean, the Aston, I think, tops out
like the most you're going to spend is like 450, where this starts at five and goes.
Are either of these cars, in your opinion, going to hold their value in two years?
Well, it looks like all Ferraris are still moving.
They're still moving. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So, yes, I think one will.
I mean, like if any Aston will ever hold its value, it's got to be the vanquish.
If it's not the vanquish and that brand just has a real problem.
Because I personally, I would take the vanquish just based on the looks.
I just think the vanquish is the best looking car in a long, long time.
No, again, I like the way this looks.
It just doesn't blow me away the way the Aston does.
But, you know, I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know.
This has a much better transmission.
Is this limited? Do we know that?
I mean, it's limited.
They're not going to build a lot, but it's regular production.
There you go. But this I always Ferrari transmissions.
I always say, like, you know, Porsche PDK, that's the best dual clutch.
And then I drive a Ferrari.
I'm like, oh, yeah, the Ferrari is even better.
Yeah. No, it's so good.
It's really good. So fast.
Yeah, yeah. So it just gears so quick.
Let's talk about luxury aircraft.
Oh, yes.
Private jet charters, but not the cheesy jet car nonsense.
This is a good ad for you, Zuckerman.
Oh, it's so cheesy having a jet car.
I'm so you do windows, too.
Come on. So yes.
It was like having a very good car broken, but for airplanes.
If you've ever thought about flying private, but hate getting ripped off.
This is for you.
Wholesale pricing with no markups.
And Zuckerman, the whole idea is you don't join a club.
You just pay for what the plane costs.

on private flights with no markups, no padded hourly rates, no funny math.
This is the premium version of the same thing.
If you've ever been annoyed by dealer add-ons, mystery fees or paying MSRP plus
vibes, you'll get it immediately.
I don't know how it works at your firm, Zuckerman, when you're flying these things.
But these guys have eliminated all the BS and all the bad fees.
Luxury aircraft members are often balancing work, family, fitness and travel.
The dad who goes from kid duty to a workout to running a company
that hops on a plane without losing half a day, less TSA, more time, fewer
compromises with no extended warranties being pitched at the gate.

without a college degree, which is why they call it Brooklyn Bedding.
He thought Brooklyn was in Arizona.
Right. No, that's not true.

You can actually feel that pride in every stitch of their mattresses.
I can tell you I have one of these mattresses and it is good.
It is very good.
I had a mattress that was only a couple of years old.
During the fires, I went to Zuckerman's place.
He had this unbelievable mattress at his house that my wife wouldn't shut up about.
And then Brooklyn Bedding came along.
I found the comparable mattress and it's got a cooling layer on top of it.

Really? Yeah.
It's investors like I thought it was pretty well received.
Yeah. I received.
I only received two mocking messages.
Fine. And I defended you.
I said, I'm not sure I agree with you, sir.
Mocking. But but money starting to surround you.

So yeah, we're incredible.
We're happy. Well, guess what?
We have yet another car to talk about here from our friend, Peter Nam
of Guntherworks has a new company called CTR,
which stands for Classic Tuning Restoration.
And it's this car right behind me, the CTR Ferrari
458, which I spent, I think, four or five days
almost killing myself on Sunset Boulevard, driving to
tennis at night on dark roads with uneven pavement and wet road.
And yet the car kind of held its own.
So you do you understand what this car is about, Johnny?
I do know what this company is about.
Yeah, here's the idea that Peter, you know,
who is going to be on the show today, but had to cancel it the last minute.
He said, he goes, what we're trying to do is,
you know, he uses the phrase of poor man's Guntherworks Ferrari, right?
There's a better way to phrase it.
You know, what he's talking about is a Guntherworks or what?
Like a million plus.
Million three for the turbo.
Yeah, here is a car, a 458, which is a great Ferrari, right?
One naturally aspirated.
One of the best. We love these Ferraris.
Yet you dump about one hundred and twenty K in to some modification.
Arrow on top, tuning underneath, appearance inside.
And you get this guy, you know, magnesium wheels, high quality carbon
fiber aerodynamics program, conqueror quality paint resto,
custom bespoke tailored upholstery, performance upgrades, premium audio.
You know, there's a there's two monitors in there that give you carplay,
that one on the right and then they're one to the right of the tack there
that comes up and you realize you're in something different.
And this car, I didn't know it had the performance upgrades,
but because I haven't really driven a 458 boy, I don't since they came out.
So I kind of forgotten about them.
But yeah, this car and it's like an extra hundred horsepower. Wow.
It's an extra 80 horsepower.
Let me think. I think a 458 70 horsepower or more.
So very which gives you a very reactive
and the tuning gives you a very kind of reactive response,
kind of like what T.L.G. did with your Porsches, right?
You know what I mean?
It just brings it up enough to make it a better to make it a better car.
Because the 458 at this point is 16 years old, right?
Yeah, yeah, 2010 and made 500 some horsepower.
So this is probably over 600, which is contemporary fast.
Yeah, no, it's a smart idea. It's nice looking.
I kind of questioned C.T.R.
Isn't that a roof car?
Yeah, I mean, so that's a little weird.
I think it's the name of the company.
I think that's all they're saying.
Yeah, but just C.T.R. is kind of associated with roof and so.
But lower price point.
But I get the idea.
But, you know, deal, I get I haven't driven it yet.
Peter told me I'm going to get it at some point.
It's, you know, it's so funny
because Peter loves to tune for the track, right? Right, right.
And there's, you know, there's a suspension button
that's preexisting on a 458.
You can press the button is a bumpy road mode
and it does soften things up.
And it's part of the issue is just the roads out here in LA
in the middle of winter are kind of a mess.
So it's bumpy and it does have that driving characteristic
of really stiff kind of Gunther works.
But if you like that, you know what I mean?
So when I had it on flat pavement, it's fantastic, you know,
and it really handles well.
There were some, you know, there were some pops here and there
with a suspension that I didn't like.
But again, it's like I can't quite tell if that's the car
or just the terrible, you know, roads that I'm driving
at any given point.
But did he modify the suspension?
He tends to.
Well, I mean, I remember the early Gunther works.
I went to him, I'm like, dude, this is undriveable.
He's like, no, no, no, it's sporty.
I go, no, like, I'm like, you know, that thing where you say
you can, you know, go to the track and then take your wife
out to dinner.
Your wife can't go to dinner in this car.
It's not going to happen.
And they they dialed it back.
So reduced unsprung weight for quicker acceleration.
Handles lighter magnesium wheels, 83 horsepower,
increased throttle response and pedal sensitivity.
That's definitely there.
Yeah, it definitely is there, which I like, you know,
in a naturally aspirated car, that reactive kind of feel
in a car is amazing.
Rev limiter increased to 8,800 RPMs quicker and firmer shifts
resulting in quicker acceleration.
Yes, adjusted exhaust note.
Awesome.
And then a bunch of carbon fiber aero stuff.
But it sounds like he didn't touch the suspension.
It doesn't look like it.
No, CTR, power, tuned stainless steel performance headers
titanium, high flow, catalytic converters, titanium exhaust,
adjustable ride height and suspension front.
Oh, there you go.
Adjustable ride height and suspension.
There it is.
Yeah, so adjustable suspension.
So that's you're right.
That's where that pop is the lowering, right?
Wow.
And front axle nose lift system.
That's good.
And, you know, look, it all works.
And what we know from Peter is you just tell him what you want.
You know, he makes these cars to your spec.
And I think this is a really kind of interesting idea
for someone that doesn't want to spend a million dollars plus
and get something special.
This car also for a Ferrari got a ton of attention when I was driving.
A ton.
You know, everybody's like, is that, you know, the first impression is that a Pista, right?
And the front hood opens up there and it's a little bit of room for something.
But there's one of his gizmos in there
that you wouldn't want to put something on top of, like, what's that?
Is that is that some sort of hillbilly, like moonshine device that's there?
Or so funny that this is what the market's bearing out.
Because I remember not only him, but other kind of L.A.
tuners, they all thought they could do like a singer to a to a 30.
Yeah. Right. Yeah.
And then everyone's like, I don't want to pay five hundred thousand dollars
for any 30. Yeah. Yeah.
You know, what they'll do this.
But like, OK, yeah, 120 grand, you're already paying.
What's the 458 worth these days?
Like, you know, probably it's held all its value or they're about.
So, yes. Yeah.
Is there any batching that indicates Gunther Stone work on this?
I don't think there is, no.
But the best way to think about it is the Gunther Works 458.
Yeah. Instead of a poor man's Gunther Works, I would say this is a Gunther Works
458 and a Flavio works.
Yeah. That's what I'm telling you.
Gianni. And it's neat. I dug it.
I thought it was really cool. I really enjoyed it. I know.
Yeah. Yeah. You should definitely drive it.
We can drive it. Oh, go ahead.
You want to do around the block?
We can do that today. I'd love that.
You can take it for a spin.
I've actually, I'm going to tell you this story.
I've never driven a normal 458.
Really? Well, yeah. Yeah.
So we had Motor Trend back in 2010.
We had this yellow 458 and then it was great.
We all said this is the best car we've ever driven.
Absolutely fucking incredible.
I met Marlon Goldberg, who's a guy that owns Workshop 5001.
He goes, oh, Motor Trend.
He goes, do you remember that yellow Ferrari?
I go, yeah. He goes, I built that.
I go, what do you mean?
He goes, I was the press fleet engineer for Ferrari.
He goes, I chipped that thing 100 horsepower.
I put challenge suspension on all four corners.
Challenge breaks. Yeah.
We had this super cheater Fugazi.
Yeah. So and I again, I love it.
But I I'd love to continue not driving a normal 458.
We have more Italian cars to talk about.
What if you drove in a big orange?
Yeah. What is that?
A Rancho Egon is the color name.
And it's a whole Rancho Egon.
And here it is right here.
It's it looks like a Lamborghini Urus.
It's an Urus SE.
A newer one than the one I drove last year.
Did you have the SE? I did.
That's the plug in hybrid. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, OK.
It's great. Yeah. You have to say about it.
I still don't think I understand plug in hybrids.
Like, I go, I go, OK, I'm going to I'm going to I charged it.
I actually plugged it in. Yeah.
I'm going to drive to the podcast fully electric.
And then I'm like, hey, what's the point?
How many. But I thought it was only about 50 miles.
It took 37 miles. Right. Right.
Of of EV range. The point.
Well, I mean, for me. It's your neighborhood.
Yeah, it was my neighborhood usage and around town usage.
And just like I don't feel like making noise right now.
Yeah. No. And I get that.
But I'm also like, maybe just make it an EV.
What's what's the point?
No, I will say, you know, I drove a very early or a speck of the day.
And it was they were about 90, 95 percent done with it.
And they said, what should we change?
And it was a couple of journalists were like, faster shifts louder.
It's not loud enough.
And they're like, global.
This thing is frigging loud.
When you put it in the second mode, whatever performance mode,
like it's just pop.
It sounds like a remember how Jagged used to be?
Or just like shot it off.
It's good. And it works.
I mean, that's what I liked about it, is you could do both things.
It's two cars and one.
Yeah, I'm like, I'm just like the added horsepower.
But then it's like 500 some pounds heavier.
So like, what if you just, I don't know.
I don't get it is I don't get plug in hybrid.
That's literally the car. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, I get them.
I dug it. OK, I really love it.
Yeah, that's about as far as I want to go is to plug in hybrid
on stuff like this with performance cars.
Yeah, I unless it's the McMurk tree.
Well, yeah. And then I would just get that.
I again, I'd love an oris
and I think they're the best SUVs.
I give a lot of friends a call me to get it or something.
Yes. Yeah, totally.
But they were always like, because remember,
this is the same platform as a Cayenne, as a Bentayga, as a Audi Q8.
But the oris is always somehow lighter.
They just it was really was the better handling one.
I had the most power.
I had the best brakes.
And I don't know if the the S.E.
First of all, S.E. sounds like a mid-level Volkswagen Tram.
They got a Ford. Right.
Yeah, they got a better name
because, you know, they make the oris s and then the S.E.
is an electric ball.
But yeah, I don't know.
I'm I want to love it because I tend to love Lamborghinis.
And I'm I'm just like, I'm like, all right, it's great.
It's a hybrid. It's like or it's a plug in.
But it's like, why am I in a silent Lamborghini?
I don't know. It's weird.
My partner who spoke with you just got one.
The lease price is less than a turbo s 9.11.
Really? Yeah.
For the S.E.
And I don't know if that, you know, if that's because of the S.E.
and what Johnny's pointing out.
But he got what he considers to be a very good deal.
It's less than the car.
He turned in and does love that.
There you go.
They're great. They're practical.
The other thing, too, is I know, like, you know,
Lambert is probably doing good lease deals
because they want a lot of plug in hybrids to help their cafe score.
So that's probably why they're doing help.
They're what cafe score?
What's a cafe score?
Emissions, cafes, carbon and something.
I saw a few interesting.
So you're yeah.
Let's let's talk about a new car
that people can actually possibly afford.
The new Toyota MR2 was announced here.
Did you guys see this?
I did not. I've heard about it.
Look at this thing.
Oh, that's great.
First of all, I love the MR2.
I've always loved the MR2.
Then it was then it was in the race deck add,
which made me even more and more.
And then a minute later, look at this.
Toyota officially confirms the new MR2
midship runabout, it says there.
So is this a mid-engine car?
Is that what this is going to be?
Two liter turbocharged four cylinder engine.
The super four.
I mean, look, dude, it was super for anything
like the three cylinder I got in my car.
It's going to be rad.
That's really cool.
Look, I think it's very good looking.
They're going to they're going to eat Lotus's lunch
while they're up pictures of it.
Wow. Look at this.
Look at those intakes.
Love it. Keep going.
Let's see what else we got here.
Love it. I mean, how do you not love this?
Love it.
Do you have any idea what this is going to cost, Johnny?
Keep going way too much.
Really? Oh, come on.
Six hundred horsepower.
No, it says it right there.
Where? No, it's 400, 400, 400.
600 cc. Yeah.
No, no, I mean, if you go to the next slide,
it does say it's going to be horsepower.
They're asking a question.
So there's no way they're saying.
Yeah, what do you want?
This is the site.
Cardi's Network.
Don't you think they're going to come in and go, hey, it's two ninety three.
No, I think, look, if the if the one point six liter
three cylinder in the G.R. Corolla makes three hundred,
yeah, a two liter four cylinder can easily make four hundred horsepower.
And that would be great to be light, small.
And again, it's Toyota, so it'll turn on.
You know, it won't have.
And again, what's what's the problem with the Lotus?
They don't build their own engine.
So it's like either get the Toyota motor or with a Lexus diesel transmission.
Yeah. Or you get the AMG stuff.
And this is like all Toyota and Toyota, I'm telling you, when they want to,
they do really good things.
I think this is a really big idea.
Maybe I'm wrong. I like it.
It's big, right? It's great.
I mean, I would drive this.
Yeah, they got it.
I love this, you know, and it's just because of the smallest.
I just want small things like that.
I just think it'll be, you know, 60,000
probably to start, which is great.
But again, like, you know,
it's $60,000 for a four hundred horsepower sports car.
The kids who want to get into an M.R.
two, 60,000 is a big hill to climb.
Good for them.
Talking about race tech, we might as well do a race tech.
Yeah, let's go to the M.R. two.
Here's an M.R. two. There it is.
There's the OG.
People have been suggesting that we get this guy on the show.
The M.R. two, the guy and the car.
But why? Yeah.
But I would, the first question would be,
why do you get the BMW colors on the floor?
And then you've got the Toyota M.R. two.
That's the question. That would be the first one.
Anyway, let's talk about race tech.
We all know race tech invented, cost-effective, durable,
truly do-it-yourself modular flooring system
engineered for the garage, invented by our friend,
Jorgen Mahler, Porsche Collector, yet another sponsor of the show
that collects Porsches when he famously went in the backyard
after having a couple beers and watched his wife's dance
recital with the kids and said,
I'm going to take them tiles and I'm going to put them on garage floors.
And a company was started.
Now they have, what is it, 150,000 square foot manufacturing facility
in Salt Lake City, 170 employees and hundreds of millions of feet
of race tech around the world.
Hundreds of millions of feet, boys.
Over 20 styles to choose from.
You order this stuff.
You put it on your ugly garage floor and soon you have the coolest
garage on the block will not chip peel of stain over 33 patents.
Zuckerman has it. I have it. Johnny's been promised it.
Guess what? I'm ready.
OK. The garage is cleaned out.
Jorgen. Yeah. He's ready.
I'm ready. So he says I'm ready.
We clean the garage out. It's good to go.
What kind of floor are you going to do?
I don't know. I don't have to figure out.
I want to do Zuckerman's face, I think.
But my wife's very against that.
I'm sure that her business.
They can do with me.
They can do that.

You want to go check them out.
I'm sure like like me and everyone else,
you've been watching the price of gold zoom up since we started advertising it.
In fact, just on CNBC, they said it is the Spikes car radio effect on gold.
We started when they were around what?
Twenty dollars an ounce and they've been as high as five.
Where was the height a few days ago?
Fifty three hundred or so.
And then it's crashing.
Where are we at today?
Forty nine. It was crashing at forty nine.
Forty nine is still like triple.
And Zuckerman, you brought some gold, didn't you?
I did. Look at this.
We have some actual gold for this ad to help highlight the old.
We want we've got the Halliburton zero.
Nice. I took out my strap and my kilo.
And then this is fantastic. We will.
OK. Wow. Gold here.
Look at that. Here. Let me get some video of this.
Would you like to touch?
Touch. So wait, it's it's five thousand
an ounce. Forty nine.
There you go. Forty nine.
You could run out the door.
Later. Amazing how heavy that is.
Yeah, it's great.
If you want gold like Zuckerman.
Yeah. Yeah.
So just the most relatable. Wow.
Thing you can put on YouTube is a guy with a briefcase full of gold.
Not playing in a stereotype in any way.
No, no, no, no. None. None.
No, no, no. That's not.
This is not Nazi gold.
No, yeah, my Lord child.
Here, put all of these together.
Feel, feel the way.
So this is twenty five thousand dollars.
Who's counting? Wow.
Right. Why are you so close?
Oh, you know what?
Yeah. Later.
I can't tell how this is going to play.
Anyway, if you want your own gold
in every month into your gold.
He's going to move it.
It reaches the price by gold.
Does that mean you put it in your body?
Yes. Of course.
That's what boofing is. Yes, boofing.
Yes. He boofed my gold.
I should.
You sent me a story about that.
That's, I guess, how I know it.
Anyway, oh, yeah, that's how you know.
Paying every month into your gold.
Stache Stache reaches the price of Zuckerman's
Acre Gold bars.
Acre Gold has fifty hundred and dollar
and two hundred and fifty a month options for larger gold bars.
Acre is backed by the same team who funded liquid death, canned water.
And you got to check them out.
They're big fans of the show and we're big fans of theirs.
GetAkerGold.com slash Spike 9-11.
All right, there's more to talk about here.
More. I do want a bar of gold, right?
We want that. Yeah.
Why wouldn't you want that?
Yeah, I'm just getting the money.
A bar. I think it would be fun to have.
You want one of those bars?
Just a bar. Yeah.
Be really good.
Let's see. Should we do all those wacky waymos?
Send Zuckerman's here.
Oh, those wacky waymos.
And there were probably ten waymos stories.
They just couldn't compile them all.
But let's talk about two that one I'll get Zuckerman's commentary on.
Waymo hits an elementary school kid in Santa Monica.
There it is right there, causing minor injuries.
Apparently this kid was crossing the street.
Is that what it says there?
They don't have footage of it.
Oh, wait, so the incident occurred within two blocks
of an elementary school during morning drop off.
So the parents are dropping off the kids, crossing guard.
Several double parked vehicles were in the area at that time.
Waymo told the agency the child ran into the street.
So it's that from behind double parked SUV and was struck
as the vehicle moved towards the school.
Now, the kid is OK.
The car reduced speed 17 miles an hour to six.
Read this. This is the bullshit.
Go ahead paragraph.
Oh, the waymo break hard, reducing speed from approximately
17 miles per hour to under six before contact was was made.
Waymo said in a blog post to put this in perspective.
It showed our peer reviewed model shows that a fully attentive
human driver in this same situation would have made contact with the pedestrian of 14.
That's the biggest hunk of bull shit says us.
It says me.
Well, why is that a hunk of bull shit?
OK, well, because because it assumes that the human driver
is going to is going to fall into the same situation at the same point in time.
And maybe the human driver sees up ahead.
Oh, there's a school. I bet it's slow down.
I know what's going on here.
17 miles an hour is pretty slow. OK.
But yeah, but still, he's not what he's saying is that when any one of us
are driving down the street and you see school drop off time and buses,
we all know to kind of it doesn't take into consideration like I don't know why
I'm thinking about this, but there's this Monaco clip that's going around F1.
You know, this F1 car is going through the tunnel and there's a stalled car
right there very quickly and it just reacts and they go, oh, my God,
how did they react that quickly?
I think many of us could stop in time for that kid or might have been prepared.
Yeah, we would appreciate this is such this this hypothetical that they're posing.
Yeah, I would love to cross examine them on the foundation of this hypothetical.
How would you do that?
Well, you would want to find out your peer review study.
What is that based on?
Where are you putting the human at the point in time to, you know,
to that it can't react as fast as your computer?
You're basically putting the human before, you know, you're removing
any decision making agency from the human and you're putting it
in a place where the collision is imminent.
So, yes, when both are imminent, when both would both the human
and the Waymo are imminently going to hit the child, maybe the Waymo breaks quicker.
But we have to back up.
If we back up, the human is having inputs that the Waymo is not.
And the human is not going to is not going to find itself in that in that same position.
So this is a very, you know, are you are you making money for this family?
I'm not involved in this case.
I'm just saying, let's say you were. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. And I would I would take this big, right?
It's a I would take this comment and hang it around the Waymo guy's neck
like a stone weight and toss him off of the boat.
You know, this is such a horrible comment.
It's a horrible comment, right? Yeah. And I'm sorry, Johnny.
No, no, no, it's like this peer review.
Is that just a bullshit? Which peers?
Who are the peers that reviewed this?
And what does that tell me what that means?
I don't you could really.
Does peer review mean anything?
None of this means anything.
They just accelerated this to the point of where an accident was unavoidable
and said, who has better reaction time, Waymo or a human.
Right. But but but that's so such a fault.
You're already, you know, within within feet of this child.
Yeah. You're the human is going, you know, maybe even three blocks ahead.
Oh, schools on drop.
Slow down or experience hitting.
Yeah. So kids run from in between cars.
That's what I'm thinking when I'm driving through that stuff.
Yeah. Driving really slowly.
What? Yeah. And actually, you know, it's a good point.
17 miles an hour while slow, maybe isn't slow enough.
It should have never been that.
But I would just say you see how it says the Waymo driver.
Driver. Well, no, no, see the D is capitalized.
Yeah. Why?
Because that's what they call their software is the Waymo driver.
So this is version 5.0.
I know a guy and I'm not supposed to say his name or anything,
but I knew a guy who is a professional driver,
who is training Waymo driver six and he went to that.
He went before them and made a presentation and said,
you could your cars could drive a lot better than they do.
And so maybe I can get him to come on the show and talk about.
I would like to strategy.
I like also this.
The company called 9 11 and the vehicle remains stopped.
It moved to the side of the road and stayed there
until law enforcement cleared the vehicle to leave.
How did they do that?
The law enforcement law enforcement is again,
as if they're dealing with a person, you know, law enforcement hates this thing.
Yeah. Who are they going to talk to about what happened?
Wow. Oh, the obedient Waymo.
Oh, boy, isn't that a good citizen?
They're really trying to humanize it.
Yeah, they are. What a good citizen.
Wasn't yelling, screaming, still filming.
I'm still surprised that no one has bought my idea,
which is Gunmo, which is a gun sharing program where you leave
loaded guns on the streets of L.A.
Yes, so you don't have to buy it and just drop it where you're done.
And the next guy swipes his card and uses Gunmo.
What's the problem?
And then anyway, right?
Because that's all Waymo did.
They just dumped a bunch of robots on us.
The scooter people just dumped a bunch of scooters.
Why can't I dump my guns?
What about what about Dilmo?
Dilmo, Dilmo, what's your Dilmo?
Well, you know what the Dilmo pitch is.
You just use that thing and shock it
wherever we're whenever you're finished with it.
Dilmo Dilmo Dilmo runs over child in elementary school.
So it's like the child steps on Dilmo.
Parent takes Gunmo and kills Dilmo user in a Waymo.
I don't know how I got to the back of the Waymo.
Still my favorite.
The people put me here.
Who'll put you in?
The what?
The people.
What a world we live in.
That's only story number one.
Here's story number two.
A Waymo vehicle crashes into multiple parked cars
on a narrow L.A. street on a Sunday morning,
barely missing a family that was standing nearby.
Let's watch the footage.
So we're going for a ride.
It's all going perfectly.
That's the Zeekr.
This is interesting.
Yeah, it's the Zeekr Waymo.
Yeah, clearly they're not cleared.
Oh, no problem.
What's the what's the issue?
Can you go back and stop it?
Look at this guy.
Hey, come back here.
Wait, this one didn't pull over immediately.
No, and it did right there.
It just crashed.
Can you go back right when it enters frame?
These are the Zeekr as you know, the next fast forward tool.
I think there's a driver behind the wheel
because these are still testing.
This is the Waymo 6 beta driver,
but they have to have a human behind the wheel.
Oh, I don't think there's anybody in that car right here.
Stop.
Stop.
There's nobody in that car.
Those aren't cleared yet.
So there has to be a driver in that car, I think.
I think you might be wrong.
I mean, they would have mentioned that.
I think there's a hand.
Let's look at this story.
There's a hand on that steering wheel.
Ferrison.
You see that hand?
That's the middle center of the console.
No, I think that's a hand.
I'm almost positive these are not cleared to be fully.
Let's look at the story.
It'll be, it'll say there's a driver in the car or not.
It'll be there.
Push me away with the vehicles being manually driven.
Manually driven.
Yeah, so.
By an autonomous vehicle specialist.
Yeah, so this was a human crash.
There were no riders inside at the time.
The company said the driver exited the vehicle on his own.
So this is what your autonomous vehicle specialist does.
I like the line you can see from the video.
The Waymo lost control down the street.
It just happened to hit my mama's car.
Don Antonio said.
So this is, this is funny, but again,
there was a human behind the wheel.
Well, they're still part of our segment.
Oh, it's great.
I mean, it's all those wacky Waymo's.
I mean, a funny looking Chinese minivans in Echo Park.
It's a really good accident.
You could still make money on that.
The right.
Of course.
Oh, yeah.
This is the greatest.
Hey, it should have had a lawn mower.
We only had a mower underneath the front of the Waymo.
There's a lot that could have been accomplished.
It reminds me of the very early kind of self parking technology.
I remember being in a Volvo and pressed like,
would you like me to park the car?
And I went, yes.
And it drove right onto somebody's front lawn.
Just like that.
But yeah, what does this guy do?
I like the shit flying everywhere.
To bring.
Do you think this guy is still an autonomous vehicle driver?
No.
Why would we guess?
There was a little weed involved or he fell asleep.
What happened?
Yeah, something happened.
Speaking of something happened, let's go to this story.
In central Florida, a man was caught in a quote,
sexual performance with a vacuum, say, deputies.
This is a story that was sent for you to look over, Zuckerman.
Kevin Westerhold, age 51, faces charge of exposing his sexual organs.
This Florida man was arrested this week after he was caught engaging.
I don't know why they say a sexual performance with a vacuum cleaner.
He was having sex with a vacuum cleaner.
In a resort?
No, out, I guess.
It says they responded to Glendale Street and Kizami Windsor Hill Resort.
I think it's the apartment residents that they call the resort.
I don't know.
But it's it's a residence.
I see.
He also looks like the coach of the Patriots.
Or a young Belichick.
Yeah, young Belichick.
John L. Way, Superman, Super steroids and meth.
I mean, he looks more normal than most Florida men.
What do you what do you do after this?
You're caught fucking a vacuum cleaner.
It's an innovation.
He's also married, right?
Go down a little bit.
I think it said he was married and is the victims observed.
Who are the victims?
You're right.
In front of a rabbit residence.
The suspect and his wife were listed as the host of this Airbnb.
I don't even understand.
So so this guy rents an Airbnb for a vacation and he fucks the vacuum cleaner.
That's what he does.
And now and now and then the little video below.
Florida deputy removes huge frogs from home.
How do we go from vacuum?
This is why I want to live in Florida.
This is just amazing.
I don't get it.
I don't understand what this guy's up to.
I mean, I really don't.
So it's a thing.
He's in the vacuum.
Yeah.
I mean, the Airbnb is just a place to procure the next girl.
Similar behavior in December.
Oh, Christmas was ruined.
But look, here's what it says.
There were a bunch of similar incidents where he was appeared partially clothed
or nude in the hallway.
So he's a sex fiend.
Sweaty, ready and OCD about cleaning.
Were there outlets in the hallway?
I mean, was he able to plug this in?
Wireless vacuum, battery charged.
Does he ever have that moment, you know, when you vacuum and you pull it too far
and it comes out like, oh, did he have that moment?
It's like getting interrupted.
The wife goes, oh, the cord retracts.
Oh, I got to do that.
It wasn't sex.
I was just cleaning.
And like what kind of vacuum?
Like a like a shop.
Look at that guy.
He's like, look at his hair.
His hair looks pretty good.
Yeah.
He's a big guy who's in shape.
Why is he fucking vacuum cleaners in the bath?
As much as I like being a man,
I'm really worried about the direction of white men in America right now.
I mean, come on.
Seriously, it's not good.
It's not good.
It's not good.
No, no.
This is a weird, this is really weird.
That's just not the face I thought we're going to see.
He has a chin.
No, he doesn't have a neck beard.
No, that looks like law enforcement.
Took down the, yeah.
Yeah.
A record haul of meth and money and guns was taken down by,
no, he was fucking a vacuum cleaner, ladies and gentlemen,
with his yellow shirt.
And his wife.
And his wife and the four women.
I don't know.
Maybe she, we don't even want to know.
I do want to interview her.
I'd love to talk to her.
Has he fucked any other appliances that you know?
The toaster.
Isn't it?
That's right.
How's the PDD, the PDD maker.
You know, people are talking to us about licensing this show for television.
We should be good.
Oh yeah.
I was wondering in these moments.
Those are really with it.
Would Direct TV let us have this conversation?
Okay, sir.
Slam your dick in a PDD maker.
It's, it's nice and hot.
Stop fucking the espresso machine.
Oh.
My panini weenies.
Have you seen my curling iron?
My Pauini.
The cheese is melting.
What's in the hairdryer?
We've reached a new level.
We've reached a new low here for you, everyone.
Pauini.
We've coined a new word.
What's on the heated blanket?
What is that?
The Pauini.
It's the Pauini.
There's a couple of other just little things here I wanted to cover.
One is this picture here that I love of William Shatner eating cereal in his car.
This made me happy.
It's like the moment.
This is just nice space.
I love William Shatner.
I love what he does.
I love his whole career.
He's definitely, you know, I was talking about the fuck it here is that Jerry talks about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's in his fuck it years.
He's eating cereal with milk in his car.
Isn't he 99?
Yes, 92, I think.
He looks great.
He looks great.
This is like one of the good news stories I just saw.
This just made me happy.
They thought I'll eat cereal if I'm not going to smoke a cigar in a car.
When I get to his age, I'll eat cereal in a car.
Fuck it.
This is nice.
This made me really happy.
He just flings the bowl and spoon out the window.
Good for him.
When he's done.
That was good.
Now I'm going to have a Pauini.
I got to say, too, it looks like he actually has hair.
Like I always heard of that.
No, he's somehow he's kept his hair.
No, he didn't.
I mean, look, it's been replaced.
His hair is more mysterious.
He's on his third head and hair.
I don't understand.
There are five colors going on with his hair.
It looks like it's just blonde, like Kevin Costner blonde hair.
Yeah, but then darkened that one.
It looks like squirrels.
But good for him.
He's got squirrel pelts on his head.
Anybody, if you know William Shatner, tell them to come on the show.
I want to hear his final thoughts.
I want to hear William Shatner's final thoughts on life.
Sit down and just tell us everything we need to know
right now from where you're standing.
That would be good.
I want to know at his age, when he closes his eyes,
does he see the monster on the wing of the plane?
Coming to get him and take him away.
That's final time.
You tell it.
Well, you know, Warren Zevon famously said to Letterman,
enjoy every sandwich.
I want that.
I'm looking for that information.
That's it.
You know, there are lots of people who compile.
They go to nursing homes and they have these books
and they always go, you know, make sure your relationship
with your children is that there's a lot of that.
We know that.
We know that.
Right.
I want the colorful, interesting stuff.
Enjoy every sandwich.
Yeah, enjoy every sandwich.
Brilliant distillation of life.
It's down to the purest places, right?
And it's what we're doing tonight.
Yep.
Netflix, dogs, weird Instagram videos of Chihuahuas and birds.
Are you guys together?
No, no, no.
No, we're just texting back and forth.
Then there's a fight on tonight.
Oh, that's great.
Okay.
And lastly, I wanted to honor this guy, this Mr. Moylan here,
Ford designer who invented the little arrow
on the side of the gas cage.
Get, scroll down so I can, James Moylan passed away
this past December.
He got the idea for this little arrow when he hopped into one
of Ford's pool cars on a rainy day in April of 1986
to attend a meeting in another building,
according to automotive news.
But the gas tank was empty.
And when he pulled up to the pump to refuel,
he had parked on the wrong side, something we all do.
All do.
He moved the car and fueled up, but got soaked in the meantime.
That's when he got the idea for the little arrow.
Did you do his high resh accent, Mr. Moylan?
Mr. Moylan.
He also fucked vacuums.
No.
So listen to this.
He goes back to the office after the meeting.
This is about the 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration
theory of doing things, younger people watching.
Got back to the office right away after the meeting
without even taking my coat off.
Sat down, started writing the first draft of the proposal.
Moylan told design news in 2020.
I typed it up and turned it in and completely forgot about it.
The proposal was simple and to the point,
the indicator or symbol I have in mind
would be located near the fuel gauge
and simply described to the driver
on which side of the vehicle the fuel fill door is located.
The arrow debuted on the 1989 Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer
and soon showed up on virtually every car in the world.
Brilliant, Moylan.
Every car in the world.
Moylan passed away December 11th, 2025.
And they say here, raise a gas hose too.
Does he get paid for that?
No, he worked for Ford.
He worked for Ford.
But does Ford get paid for that if everybody uses it?
I mean, isn't that copyrighted?
I don't think he can pay.
Do you think there's a little symbol?
On his tombstone?
Here's.
Yes.
There's going to be one now.
Here's my question.
If you know where he's buried, folks, you should do that.
I probably learned about this a little over 20 years ago.
But the gas pump has the hose on one side.
Why have the arrow?
Why not just invert the image to the side where the fuel tank is?
I like the arrow.
But you know what I'm saying, though?
Yeah.
You know what's interesting about this site?
This is easier for most people.
I love when any small idea turns into a giant idea.
And I remember where I was on the set of Car Matchmaker
when I asked the question.
I go, I got to put gas on this.
We were in the middle of a shoot.
And I said, which side is it on to the guys in the car?
They go, look at the little thing.
And I went, oh my god, I didn't even know that existed on these cars.
And I was so appreciative of that little.
I mean, we say this about car options all the time.
And sometimes people even make fun of us.
Like, oh, how can you live without Apple CarPlayer?
This doesn't work.
And that doesn't work.
These little things affect your love of vehicles so much.
This guy has made such a monumental improvement
to most of our lives.
But who he's really helped is people like us
who jump into seven cars a week.
Yeah, yeah.
Most people get a car in the heaven for 12 years
and don't really know where the thing is.
But on my Toyota, I maybe know what site it's on most of the time.
But I forget and I look.
I use this all the time.
Yeah.
Every press car.
Every press car.
James Moylan.
Yeah.
You're here.
Enjoy your future, Mr. Moylan.
Mark Vaughn, shout out, wrote this up.
So nice to see you.
He did.
You know him?
I love Mark's, like, the greatest.
I was once given career advice by Daniel,
who has a Pulitzer Prize, try and be like Mark Vaughn.
You should really try and emulate your career,
just like Mark Vaughn.
Yeah.
A lot of people wrote about this guy's death.
I've had it on the rundown for like the last six shows
and have forgotten to kind of bring it up.
But I'm glad we finally got to it.
And anyways, that's our show.
That's our show, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll be back next week if you're a Patreon subscriber.
Let's take out the Guntherworks car, the CTR,
and you can drive it.
You can tell me what you think.
How about that?
Yeah.
And we also have a cool down lap for you right now
that we're going to talk about something special.
A driver that I saw on roads.
A woman who almost ran me down.
And some footage I think I better put on Patreon.
Next time, lady.
She would use the skill mark.

The crew dives deep into the Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider's effortless speed and dual personality as both luxury cruiser and performance beast. Peter Nam's CTR Ferrari 458 project showcases the best of aftermarket engineering with its quality modifications and performance upgrades.

In tech news, Waymo self-driving cars make headlines for all the wrong reasons as the hosts humorously dissect recent incidents. The episode takes unexpected turns with a bizarre Florida man vacuum story and appreciation for William Shatner enjoying cereal in his car during his "f**k it years." The show closes with a touching tribute to James Moylan, the unsung Ford designer who invented the arrow indicating your fuel tank's side.
