Review: Lamborghini Urus (bonus: Ferrari F80, not M3)

Big bold styling. Excessive horsepower and amounts of interior leather. Divisive looks. You guessed it; it's the Lamborghini Urus. The boys have a lot of opinions about this car. Donny is pissed that it was not an LM002. Jeff doesn't know what an LM002 is. Walter is confused by the Italian horsepower; CV or cavallo vapore. And in other news, Ferrari launches a new supercar. The F80 M3. Wait, that's not right. We think it's just the F80. Were not sure. Every time we search for it we get BMW Forum...

Tinfoil Hats and Radio Waves

While Jeff paints the baby room, Walt and Donny kick back and talk cars. A conversation about Porsche Taycan sales, the recent acquisition of Ohlins by Brembo, and the debut of the BMW Skytop quickly devolves into a trail of skepticism regarding cloud-based features (culminated by the bankruptcy of Fisker), autonomous driving, and inductive charging concepts. Strap on your tinfoil hat and enjoy the deep dive. Support the show

Review: McLaren Speedtail (Not an F1)

Finally, Jeff has returned to his mic after a sabbatical, or something. The boys talk about the McLaren Speedtail.

Yeehaw! Ruf Rodeo, Monterey, and More

Walt and Donny are back at it. No one can be sure, but Jeff is still gone, and some people say that he was whacked. By Walt and Donny no less. Ruf announces a bucking Rodeo! and Lamborghini is going to sell you a 10,000 RPM engine. Tuthill, who Donny has never heard of, also surprises the Billionaire Car Buyers Club with the GT One.

News: Porsche 911 992.2 and Villa d'Este

Jeffrey has gone missing, but Donny and Walter don't really care. Everyone was relieved that they didn't need to hear Jeff compare everything to his much superior Mazda 3, again. Donny listens to Walter talk at length about his strong opinions about the brand new Porsche 911 (992.2 generation) including how cool the hybrid tech is and how dumb the start button is. The boys then discuss the BMW concepts, and even though Donny and Walter are both BMW fans, they are at odds over the concepts. And i...

Review: Ford GT350... Sike

The boys attempt to discuss the GT350, only after a 2 month wait. However, Walter decides to mention something that sends the entire show off the rails. Donny explains some questionable taste he has. Jeff. Well Jeff is Jeff, bless his heart. What did you expect? Maybe next time they will review a car instead of searching Facebook Marketplace for beaters. 'Hey Jamie, can you pull that up?'
