Fab morning on the mountain with the Vanquish! Soooo much different from a DB12 or Bentley GT Speed!
We went to Washington and drove the INSANE, 1750HP @ssc_northamerica Tuatara. It shot fire. We made faces.
Plus, Mercedes is pulling out of the EV market; emissions standards are being rolled back; and we answer fantastic Patreon questions.
NO RESERVE DAILY DRIVERS coming in hot! @westsidecollectorcarstorage is proud to present a trio of ready-to-daily enthusiast cars! We've got a stunning Mercedes E320 Cabriolet in the right color with tons of service history. We've got a 2016 E63S Wagon, and we've got an *incredible* specification 1st Gen Panamera Turbo. Any one of these would make an incredible value in secondhand luxury motoring. All at NO RESERVE on @bringatrailer now!
How sparkly are we? Check out my “unboxing” and the difference between indoors and outdoors! @meyersmanx
Welcome home, sparkle monster! @meyersmanx built us such a gorgeous car, and it is soooooo fun to drive at regular speeds! But after 50 miles home up the 405 on one of the hottest days of the year, it’s time to make a cocktail and stare at it in the driveway for a while. 😎 Check out the sealable cooler with the custom tie-downs!
Vanquishing this week, better late than never. First impression: 😳 I am suddenly aroused.
Car Play Ultra connection? Three for six with it actually working. Will keep the score tally up.
New writing for @roadandtrack my take on electric motorcycles
IG Review: @arcadecars "Sojourn" Upfitted Vintage Military G-Wagen! ..... THE GREAT: The very first G-Wagen I've ever driven in which I don't feel like a dickbag and wasn't treated like a dickbag. People like me! On the outside it looks authentic enough that folks don't notice it's been restored right away, but all the things you touch are of the finest quality leathers and craftsmanship... THE GOOD: In the realm of vintage SUV restoration, it's cheap. This one is about $150k turn key, which is less than one might guess. It has the (original?) 2.8L four-cylinder, properly serviced, and four speed gearbox with 4X4 transfer case. It's somehow more honest than if it had a giant V8, loud exhaust, and trashy big wheels. It has a nice ride, predictable steering, and confident brakes. You could spend three times as much on a Bronco or Defender and both could easily drive worse.... THE NOT-SO-GOOD: Arcade swears it's working properly, but the gearbox does not want to upshift like any other normal automatic I've driven. It stays in gear past 3,000 RPM even when lightly cruising and I have to do a full throttle lift to upshift. They defended their choice of Tires for their versatility and availability, but I know how these specific tires make cars steer worse on the road, and they are making this one steer worse than it should. My stock 1991 Delica, honest truth, drives way better. And that woven leather looks nice, but I'd hate to see what happens to it when you pick up six wet, sandy kids from Sconset beach every day for a summer. Lastly, I'm not against the name "Arcade" per se. But on slide 4, you can clearly see the side badge is crooked. I checked with a level. It is. If you're gonna add corny badging, make sure the badging is at least straight. THE VERDICT: The perfect car for someone who uses the word "summer" as a verb. Don't need to exceed 40 in the Hamptons or the Vineyard. More space than a Defender, better made than a Bronco, and seating for eight. Hedge funders with trad wives, your chariot awaits. - DISCLAIMER: @westsidecollectorcarstorage stored and managed this vehicle in LA for 2 weeks while journalists tested it.
Do you want a manual, RWD Porsche 911 with GT2 RS power! @flat6motorsports has the good drugs. 715 HP, everyday usability, and a manual transmission pretty much means I’ll never need a 911 “Turbo” because this is the JAM
The podcast from our show in Dallas at @theshopclubdallas is up! We taught them about sidewalks; @therealzackklapman and I competed to make the best Dallas garage ever; and @christianjameshand joined us to roast fans' cars. It was an amazing time! Thank you to everyone who came out.
