• The Ferrari 296 GTS is Better Than You Think

  Spike is joined by Matt Farah for a high-octane chat about the 2025 Ferrari 296 GTS, Waymo autonomous rides, and upcoming Pebble Beach plans. They dive into AI Kevin Costner scams, debate the merits of the Ineos Grenadier, and relish over a $1.26 million GT3 RS sale. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off plus free shipping with code SPIKE911 https://RaceDeck.com 📅 Odoo - Modern Management Made Simple All your business on one platform. Try it at https://www.odoo.com ______________________________________________ Spike and Matt kick off discussing Paul Zuckerman's unexpected talent as the show's resident "fixer" (think Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction) before diving into their Pebble Beach Car Week plans, where Matt will be towing his Manx with a Bentley Bentayga equipped with a rare tow package. The Ferrari 296 GTS gets a thorough review, with both hosts praising its performance, usability, and that electric motor for quiet neighborhood exits. Matt recounts his first Waymo autonomous ride experience - clean and controlled, but with some quirky navigation choices. They share laughs over Kevin Costner and Keanu Reeves AI scams, discuss watch designs, and close with a "Moment of Zen" reflecting on a 2004 Porsche GT3 RS 4.0 selling for $1.26 million. Throughout, the pair's automotive passion and comedic chemistry deliver the perfect blend of cars, coffee, and comedy that SCR fans love. ______________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: [email protected] 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media Learn more about your ad choices.

• Inside the $100M McLaren Collection

  Spike and Zuckerman hold down the fort without Jonny (who's supposedly crashed in Angeles Crest), talk the INSANE Mansour Ojjeh McLaren Collection for sale, and review the insanely powerful Mercedes-AMG SL 63 S E Performance. Plus, they discuss the new Zagato 356 and Zuckerman's Ferrari Daytona sale. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off plus free shipping with code SPIKE911 https://RaceDeck.com 🔵 BlueChew - Get Bricked Up Get your first month free with code SPIKE911 https://BlueChew.com ______________________________________________ In this episode, Spike and Zuckerman kick things off by playfully declaring independence from Jonny, who's absent due to yet another accident on Angeles Crest. Zuckerman shares the full story of his Ferrari Daytona's journey from ill-timed purchase to completed restoration and recent sale. Spike takes us for a ride in the new Mercedes-AMG SL 63 S E Performance, exploring its 800+ horsepower, plug-in hybrid capabilities, and even testing its built-in AI (which hilariously gets Spike's career details wrong). When a viral video of a road buckling appears, lawyer Zuckerman breaks down the potential liability issues and legal remedies. The guys analyze the new Zagato 356, the final piece of the "Lost Sanction Trilogy," and dissect the private sale of an incredible McLaren collection centered around a stunning orange F1. They wrap with a story about a generous Detroit car wash owner who arranged for a helicopter to drop money at his funeral, crowning him the SCR hero of the week. ______________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: [email protected] 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media Learn more about your ad choices.
