  • Can an old Mustang be made new again? For a lot of money, yes. But is it worth it? Matt Farah and Zack Klapman review the new (but also sort of old) and very expensive Revology Mustang GT; test drive the 2025 GR Corolla Automatic (and tell you about the differences with this year's car); Matt discovered what part of his old Bentley was leaking onto the driveway; and we answer Patreon questions including:

    What's the grossest thing we've done in someone else's car981 vs 982 Cayman S differencesWhat is our dream "Whistlin' Diesel-style durability" test?Should automotive CEOs drive the competition?What else would you buy for the GT3's $250k budget?Will rolling back EV credits help Detroit?Is car shopping for other people frustrating?Why aren't more people 3D printing?Will the electric G Wagen depreciate like other EVs?Why isn't the Lamborghini Aventador a halo car like the Miura or Ferrari F40?

    And more!

    Does a simulator need to be expensive to be helpful? Are motion simulators necessary? What separates good drivers from great ones How to win Le Mans if you never went karting Is "natural talent" a real thing? Why falling is good One-on-one coaching vs driving school Is a $20,000,000 simulator worth it? Why Checo should ride with Max

    Is it ok to change our my race compound tire? Are used Jag F-Types a good buy? What current cars are future classics? Would we rather have an Oilstain Lab Half-11 or a Richard Tuthill's 911K? Which Hyundai vehicle should have the N treatment? Should I buy an Aliexpress watch? Why won't these EVs fit in my garage? Is Mazda "too mature" these days?

  • Joey Seely is an engineer who builds some of the fastest unique Porsches on Earth. After cutting his teeth on Porsche Motorsport's race team, he co-founded BBI Autosport, then opened his business, Emotion Engineering. They focus on tailoring high-performance cars to the driver and environment using a mix of off-the-shelf parts and many of their own design. In a few years Joey has built a custom Pikes Peak car for Rhys Millen, ran Jeff Zwart's 935 campaign, practically created the modern overland Cayenne movement, turned a Turbo S into a Baja machine, all while continuing to learn, innovate, and push the limits.

    On this episode we talk about his amazing air-cooled Project Nasty; why a smaller-tire racing series is a good idea; what's "wrong" with a GT3; overrated paint colors; what he learned by doing things wrong; some of the tricks on Rhys' Pikes Peak car; carbon fiber costs; and so much more.

  • What began as the humble YouTube channel Everyday Driver has grown into a brand that hosts track days, produces films for Amazon, and organizes road trips for enthusiasts. Behind it (and in front of the cameras) since the beginning are Todd Deeken and Paul Schmucker, two of the nicest people in automotive media. On this episode, they sit down to talk about their track events, race track culture, the speed of today's cars, strange exhausts that skirt the rules, and more.

  • Adam Golden is the founder of MentaWatches.com, a website dedicated to helping you learn about, buy, and sell watches. He has a passion for them that is infectious but he also doesn't agree with everyone else. In his eyes, some "special error" watches aren't that special. On this episode he explains why; how a diver watch is and is not like a Porsche GT3; the cool new brand he likes; why "birth date" watches aren't for him; and more !
