Matt flew to Detroit to buy the cheapest Porsche Taycan he could find; Zack's M3 wrap project required WAY more work, sanding, and problem-solving than expected; a magical train carried the Farahs across Canada; and we answer Patreon questions about:

The most unremarkable RHD car we've seen?
Do tax incentives make EV depreciation worse?
Ranking the Scandi Flick cars (2004 Subaru WRX STI, EVO 8, and Audi RS4)
How to set up your new home garage
What cars have no business sounding as good as they do?
The LA fires
Should you avoid the Porsche 7-speed manual?
A Lexus with a manual transmission?
Will we EVER see a day where zero new cars are for sale with a manual?
