    I Paid $160K for a BMW Just to Get FORCED In-Car Ads?!

    Matt Farah recounts a 300-mile Vespa road trip up the California coast, Spike and Jonny go in on BMW's Spider-Man in-car pop-up ads, and Zuckerman stages a legal rescue of Jonny's long-suffering Porsche 914. After, Brabus CEO Constantin Buschmann brings two monsters into the SCR Garage: the 1,000 HP V12 coachbuilt Brabus Bodo and a modified 800 HP open-top G-Wagen. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off plus free shipping with code SPIKE356 https://RaceDeck.com Ⓗ Hagerty - Classic Car Insurance For People Who Love Cars Head to https://hagerty.com/spike to learn more!

The guys react to a video essay on canyon driving ethics and street racing culture online, and the crew debates whether drivers on modern GT3-level machines on sticky tires on public roads are the actual problem. Matt contrasts all of it with driving his air-cooled Meyers Manx through the canyons while cyclists cheered. Then BMW drops a self-inflicted PR disaster: owners of $160,000 vehicles getting Spider-Man movie trailer pop-ups on their dashboards at startup. The group compares this to Genesis and Kia, who are apparently too busy building great cars to run ads inside them. Spike previews Willow Springs Reimagined on Saturday, October 17th, with B-Sedan races, Porsche Cup, a Petersen Hill Climb, a live Smoking Tire podcast, and vintage motorcycle races. Then the guys tackle the ongoing saga of Jonny Lieberman's disassembled Porsche 914 restoration rescue, with Zuckerman playing legal hardball with the shop. In the second half, Constantin Buschmann joins Spike for a full in-garage interview covering Brabus history since 1977, the Brabus One-Second Wow design philosophy, and the two flagship cars on the floor: the Brabus Bodo (1,000 HP, V12, Aston Martin Vanquish chassis, 77 units, 1.0M to 1.4M euros) and the Brabus 800 Cabriolet G-Wagen (800 HP, open-top AMG G63 with Widestar body kit). _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Matt Farah 04:39 - Matt's Vespa road trip 08:14 - The RIGHT way to drive in the canyons 18:56 - BMW in-car ad controversy 23:37 - Why luxury car brands are overrated 29:11 - The state of Jonny's Porsche 914 42:00 - Introducing Constantin Buschmann 45:21 - Brabus Bodo showcase 54:15 - Brabus 800 Cab G-Wagen showcase Learn more about your ad choices.

    The REAL Reason the Ferrari Luce Sold Out

    Spike and Jonny break down the Ferrari Luce EV sales explosion, rescue Jonny's trapped Porsche 914 with Zuckerman, and go head-to-head on the $121K Lexus LX 700h Overtrail vs. the $62K Kia Telluride HEV.

It's straight into the Porsche 914 restoration saga. Jonny's 1973 914 has been sitting at a shop for seven years. Zuckerman made his opening diplomatic move, calling the restorer to request status photos. Spike floats the idea of pulling it out and finishing it with a Cali shop from the podcast network. The Signal Yellow paint job was apparently done by eye, which tracks. Next up is the Ferrari Luce, which has already hit its annual sales target, driven mostly by demand in China. Spike called it. Jonny still thinks it looks like an old USB drive. They both agree it drives well, which is at least something. For the SUV comparison, Jonny breaks down the Lexus LX 700h Overtrail: twin-turbo V6 hybrid, 459 hp, 538 lb-ft, three locking differentials, hydraulic-pneumatic suspension, and 18-inch Toyo Open Country III tires. Off-road credibility is real. So is the $121,000 price. Spike counters with the 2027 Kia Telluride HEV X-Line SX Prestige at $62,000, hitting 35 mpg, dual wireless chargers, and interior quality that punches well above its price point. His argument: South Korean design is lapping the competition at half the cost. The news segment covers: a dad in Singapore who let his two sons ride on the rear wing of his Porsche in traffic, a Porsche 911 GT3 RS that tumbled 500 feet down a ravine on Angeles Crest Highway, and a New Jersey cop who put on a ghillie suit, hid next to a tree, and caught 74 distracted drivers in six hours. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Jonny's cursed Porsche 914 resto 10:06 - The Ferrari Luce is SOLD OUT? 17:04 - Lexus LX review 22:18 - Kia Telluride Hybrid review 32:20 - Why your car is spying on you 35:51 - We can't stop buying cars 37:13 - Porsche extra seating hack 40:48 - Another brutal GT3 RS crash at ACH 42:54 - Advanced anti-text-and-drive tactics 47:28 - The future of car tech Learn more about your ad choices.

    Why Porsche is in Some Serious Trouble

    The guys are live from Baldwin Hills previewing Pebble Beach week, breaking down Jerry Seinfeld's Porsche collection hitting the Gooding and Company auction block, and exposing the CPR Classic fraud that landed its owner in federal prison with a $10 million restitution order. Plus: a 2027 Audi S5 review and spy footage of the new mid-engine Toyota MR2. ______________________________________________ 🛞 Vredestein - Car, SUV, Van, and Light Truck Tires Demand a better tire.

GRAB SOME SCR MERCH: https://spikescarradio.com GET MORE SCR ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/spikescarradio ______________________________________________ This week on Spike's Car Radio: Spike and the crew preview the most significant lots in the Gooding and Company auction, specifically the rare Porsches from the Jerry Seinfeld collection. We're talking a final Karmann-built 1965 356C in Irish Green, a 1968 Porsche 907 Daytona winner, and a 1961 356B four-cam GT Coupe, among others. Morris Solomons has its first real inventory acquisition: a European-market 1999 Porsche 996 GT3 in Speed Yellow with full Manthey Racing documentation. Never sold in North America. Then things get serious. A federal judge sentenced the owner of CPR Classic to time in prison and $10 million in restitution for a Ponzi-style fraud scheme involving Porsche restoration and resale. The story includes selling the same cars to multiple buyers, forging title signatures, and triple-dipping on lines of credit. Zuckerman, an actual lawyer, walks through the legal fallout in detail. Jonny reviews the 2027 Audi S5 review in the context of Audi's bizarre new naming scheme (even numbers are EVs, odd numbers are gas), a $75,000 price point, and infotainment glitches that should embarrass the brand. The group debates in-cabin driver attention cameras and what car driver tracking camera privacy actually means for buyers. Spy shots of the new mid engine Toyota MR2 prototype surface, and Bizzarrini sends a letter claiming Giorgetto Giugiaro showed their open-top Targa design to Porsche executives before the 911 Targa ever existed, which is either automotive history or a very bold claim. Listener Q and A covers why Spike and Zuckerman sold their Porsche 911 S/T, watch choices from the SCR table, and the team's favorite racetracks. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Jerry is selling more of his Porsches? 08:10 - The rare cars that we're selling 13:20 - INSANE classic Porsche ponzi scheme 25:26 - 2027 Audi S5 review 28:02 - The fall of VW Group? 29:00 - What car buyers REALLY want 34:41 - Why are our cars SPYING on us? 41:48 - Toyota MR2 SPOTTED! 43:22 - The Bizzarrini! 48:35 - Why we sold the 911 S/T 50:12 - Why Z is selling the Dakar Yellow E39 52:38 - Our watches 55:48 - The best race tracks in the world 1:02:58 - Zuckerman's Rod Emory car Learn more about your ad choices.

    Porsche’s Secret Ducktail 911 Just LEAKED

    The guys review the confusing Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS, drive the $34K Subaru WRX through Wales, and examine spy shots of a ducktail Porsche 911 GT3 mule. Plus: a Little League president steals $64,000 for BlueChew, a Florida woman gets a license plate that says SQUEEZE A**, and Seattle's favorite raccoon, Jimothy, earns his rightful place in internet history. ______________________________________________ GET THE SHEFFIELD SPORT SOLAR CERAMIC: https://sheffieldwatches.com 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off garage flooring! https://RaceDeck.com/SCR 🌽 MASA Chips - Guilt-Free Tortilla Chips Ready to give MASA a try?

His verdict: for 34 grand, it punches way above its weight. Back stateside, Jonny puts the Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS T-Hybrid through its paces. The 3.6-liter single-electric-turbo hybrid setup makes 532 hp and 449 lb-ft, hits 60 in 2.7 seconds, and costs $206K base. That's Turbo S performance from six years ago, basically. Spy shots of a Porsche 911 GT3 test mule with a ducktail spoiler have the crew speculating: fixed-wing touring package, tribute model, or a 4.2-liter farewell variant? Nobody knows, and that's half the fun. Spike and Zuckerman recap the Treasure State Cars and Coffee in Culver City, a curated gathering that surfaced gems like Bruce Meyer's 1961 Ferrari 250 GT Short Wheelbase. The real debate: why does Los Angeles, a city drowning in great cars, still not have its own major concours? The broader auto industry conversation touches on VW Group financial trouble, potential model cuts, Lucid layoffs, and Chinese EV brands quietly eating Toyota's lunch in international markets. Ferrari, meanwhile, is auctioning Chassis 00 of the Luce at RM Sotheby's during Monterey Car Week for charity. Spike also walks through the stunning Bizzarrini 5300 Aperta Lusso and discusses whether younger collectors are cooling on 1960s classics in favor of modern hypercars. Jimothy the raccoon.

    Rod Emory's Def Leppard Porsche Outlaw

    Rod Emory is back on the show to walk Spike through the Porsche 356 Outlaw built for Def Leppard's Vivian Campbell, a stunning Brewster Green Porsche Pre-A coupe with 260 horsepower and a story that would make Zuckerman feel car envy. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off plus free shipping with code SPIKE356 https://RaceDeck.com 🛞 Vredestein - Car, SUV, Van, and Light Truck Tires Demand a better tire.

Rod also explains how he handles (and occasionally fires) high-profile clients who don't mesh with the Emory Motorsports brand. Spike and Rod then dig into the history of Paul Zuckerman's orange 1965 Porsche 356C, once owned by Jerry Seinfeld, and Rod's firsthand connection to it. His grandfather Neil Emery worked for Newport Beach dealer Chick Iverson, and Rod's father Gary was the one detailing and maintaining that exact car. The Gary Emory Baja Bug comes up during a discussion about Rod's upcoming Jay Leno's Garage shoot, where Rod built a tribute to the original concept his dad created. Rod and Jay plan to take it into the desert for donuts. Listener Q&A covers why a modern 356 reboot would fail for Porsche, a coming 914 Outlaw build using Gary's final donor car, Rod's personal spec preferences, his hiring philosophy (work ethic over raw skill), and his collection of over 6,000 die-cast model cars he still uses for design inspiration. The episode closes with Rod's take on the modern Porsche lineup: good, but BIG. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Rod Emory 05:05 - Driving Baja Bugs with Jay Leno 11:53 - Rod's 1953 Porsche 356 Outlaw 23:46 - The secret history of the untouched orange 356 39:03 - A modern-day Porsche 356 program? 41:00 - A Porsche 914 Outlaw? 42:50 - Rod's project cars 45:55 - Rod's die-cast car collection 49:37 - How to get hired at Emory Motorsports 51:38 - Rod's modern Porsches Learn more about your ad choices.

    Why the Porsche 911 GT3 S/C is SO PERFECT

    SCR is live from Baldwin Hills with Italy stories, a Porsche GT3 S/C deep dive, a brutal AMG takedown, and a bear that nearly took out Jonny. Plus: Polestar's US ban, Max Verstappen's LEGO beef, and why classic car market correction means the great stuff is finally getting affordable again. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off garage flooring! https://RaceDeck.com/SCR 🫧 Meguiar's - 125 Years of Passion Premium products to clean, restore, and protect your vehicle https://meguiarsdirect.com/collections/new 🔵 BlueChew - Get Bricked Up with BlueChew Gold Buy 2 months of BlueChew Gold, get the 3rd month for FREE with code SPIKE911 https://BlueChew.com ✉️ Ultra Pouches - Instant Focus in a Pouch Don’t sleep on Ultra Pouches.

The new GT3 S/C, a cabriolet configuration echoing the spirit of S/T and Speedster variants, runs about $275,000 and arrives with the full Porsche 911 Weissach package: carbon ceramic brakes standard, magnesium wheels, carbon fiber front fenders and doors. The manual gearbox with its short shift kit is, per Jonny, exactly what it needs to be. Then comes the hammer: the Mercedes AMG E53 Wagon review. Despite sharing 577 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque with the legendary E63, Jonny calls the E53 a wallowing, under-braked waterbed of a car with no chassis confidence and a hybrid system that adds weight without soul. His verdict: they just whiffed on this one. The hosts dig into the 2027 Polestar US ban. Spike mourns the American dealer jobs and real estate investment that disappear with it. From there, the conversation pivots to the Max Verstappen LEGO F1 car moment at Silverstone: Verstappen's flat refusal to drive a LEGO-brick F1 replica because, in his words, drivers shouldn't look like children. Spike is firmly in his corner. Also on the table: the McMurtry Spéirling, a $1.3 million track-only electric fan car pulling 3Gs, and a Ferrari 12C's simulated manual clutch (a pedal wired to an electric actuator spring, not an actual clutch disc, which produces predictably heated reactions). The classic car market correction thread that closes the show is worth the price of admission alone. Zuckerman's morning drive in his '71 Porsche 911 Targa, ivory paint, perfect balance, cruising at 88 mph. Vintage Porsche prices falling from their pandemic peaks means early 911s, 356s, and Speedsters are drifting back into reach for people who actually want to drive them. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - SCR's back at Baldwin Hills! 01:07 - Spike's brutal Italy trip 11:37 - Why the Porsche 911 S/C is so amazing 16:51 - The SCR Live Tour 23:07 - Our own car dealership 24:11 - Mercedes AMG E 53 Wagon review 29:32 - Jonny's bear encounter 31:46 - Polestar is DEAD in the US 33:30 - Lego is making F1 cars?! 35:42 - McMurtry Spéirling for sale 39:13 - Ferrari 12C with a manual? 40:13 - Mercedes is making a baby G Wagon? 48:41 - 18-way seats 50:45 - The future for the Porsche 718 54:43 - Porsche's questionable history 55:39 - Spike's Ford Bronco 56:31 - Our one-car garages 58:30 - Jonny's Sheffield watch 59:48 - Zuckerman's current car collection 1:01:54 - The state of the classic car market Learn more about your ad choices.

    Is the GT3 Touring the BEST EVER Porsche 911?

    Spike and Jonny are back in the garage breaking down the Mercedes VLE 'Grand Limousine' electric van, the Porsche 992.2 GT3 Touring's wild price hike, and the AMG GT 63 Pro.

Jonny recalls the soul-crushing embarrassment of stalling a Pagani Zonda F Roadster at the factory, and Spike brings up Jerry Seinfeld's pre-race nerves with his 908/3. On the car front: Johnny drove the Mercedes VLE electric van in Spain:(think Toyota Alphard energy, but German and plugged in) and came back impressed. The AMG GT 63 Pro gets a proper breakdown: 603 hp, 627 lb-ft, and enough German naming conventions to fill a dictionary. Then there's the Porsche 992.2 GT3 Touring in Gentian Blue: $240K base, a $38K Leichtbau package that sheds a whopping 48 lbs, and a new digital tachometer that somehow makes it even more desirable. They also get into Porsche's one-of-one Toy Story character cars (silly) vs. the Earl's Court '51 Edition GT3 (very much not silly), pitch a Breaking Bad 'Walter White' Porsche spec that nobody asked for but everyone wants, and confirm their attendance at the Audrain Concours in October. On the tech and culture side: a Jalopnik breakdown of EV battery emissions shows dirty manufacturing evens out within two years of driving. Meanwhile, a 404 Media investigation reveals roadside cameras aren't just reading plates, they're pulling infotainment data, pet microchips, Bluetooth IDs, and fitness tracker signatures to build consumer profiles. And the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is now a swamp. Spike wants to fish it. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - SCR at Pebble Beach 06:07 - Mercedes is making a minivan? 12:12 - Mercedes AMG GT 63 Pro review 18:00 - Porsche 911 GT3 Touring review 28:11 - Toy Story Porsche 911s? 30:21 - Earls Court themed 911 33:47 - A working Koenigsegg built ENTIRELY of Lego 39:48 - Are EVs ACTUALLY better for the environment? 44:01 - Why these traffic cameras are so terrible 49:01 - Reflecting Pool algae situation Learn more about your ad choices.

Matt then delivers a full road test breakdown of the new electric Porsche Macan GTS: $105K base, up to 570 horsepower on Overboost, dual-motor AWD, rear-axle steering, and surprisingly excellent daily drivability. Charging on Tesla Superchargers? Yes. Annoying proximity key issues like Polestar and Lucid? Not a problem here. Matt's verdict: if money weren't real, he'd drive it every day. Spike gives an update on Morris Solomons, their boutique consignment dealership currently featuring a 1974 BMW Batmobile and a clean Toyota FJ Cruiser. Matt also brings a surprise COTA race trophy for Jonny Lieberman, recounting how Jonny selflessly stepped aside to let Matt double-stint, helping their team take the win. Finally, Sheffield Watches founder Jay Turkbas joins to debut the Sheffield Sport ceramic tennis watch along with the updated SCR II blue dial and a sneak peek at a rotated-dial rally watch designed in collaboration with Jonny.
