Don't sleep on Verona! Rennaissance architecture on top of medieval architecture on top of Roman architecture. So cool. See the Roman home in the literal kids section of United Colors of Benton, pic 7. Great vibe, fabulous food, great shopping (see pic for 4 the dream chef's store with 5 restored vintage Berkel stand slicers for sale!). All the Valpolicella please! Stopped in Padua to check out some Giotto frescoes (Pic 5 -he basically invented renaissance painting).

New video! I daily drove the Porsche 992.2 GTS T-Hybrid for 7 days and over 600 miles in town, on a highway road trip, and in the canyons back-to-back with the new Aston Martin Vantage and today we're going to see if the Hybrid is the ultimate daily driven 911. outfit by @coofandyofficial #COOFANDY #COOFANDYstyle#nascar#COOFANDY10Years #COOFANDYxJGR #COOFANDYxBell

Dispatch from Italy - My Countach engine is alive!!!!! The video from @topmotorssalvioli is actually a week old, it's already packed up and ready to be shipped home alongside my rebuilt gearbox! Before you freak out about the Webers - they are bench testing the engine with carbs while the Bosch K-Jetronic is rebuilt elsewhere (for performance). IDGAF - I am pro-fuel injection (once it's tuned right). Can't wait to be driving this thing again! And yes, I will go through the invoice on the podcast. It's a big-un.

New Plus Fours have arrived! @westsidecollectorcarstorage is proud to handle logistics for @morganmotor press vehicles in LA! If you're a small automaker, big tuner, or "reimaginer" and you want to keep a press vehicle in LA, give us a shout!

IG Review: VW ID. Buzz! --> THE GREAT: With an upright windshield half an acre of dashboard away from your face, it feels like driving a monorail (this is a compliment). Commits to a happy, fun, collaborative vision of the future. By far the most spacious minivan I've driven: I fit comfortably in all three rows! Even kids, who couldn't possibly have nostalgia for the old one, love how it looks. And just, vibes for days (in the right color). For no objective reason, it made me pretty happy to run around town all week. ---> THE GOOD: Comfy heated, cooled, massaging seats, light and airy interior, pretty decent ride. The low center of gravity means handling is solid if not impressive. Clever storage solutions and multipurpose tools abound, and tons of USB-C power for every passenger to charge every possible device. Range is a consistent 240 miles when I drive like I drive. --> THE NOT-SO-GOOD: The brakes suuuuuuuuck. And the car knows it (based on preprogrammed follow distance for ACC). The one-pedal drive is too sensitive, and bumps make my foot move enough to "jerk" the throttle. The car, once in a while, puts you in multimedia time out - FML. Impossible to tell when the car is in "accessory" mode vs actually running, and I've consistently been wrong. Mid-loan, the remote trunk release stopped working. The radio is infuriating, but not as infuriating as the dance you have to do in order to put the windows down to stop the buffeting (see proper position, photo 8) . Thanks to VW's genius move of eliminating rear window switches, the process of getting some fresh air while driving requires a graduate level degree. This, in a vehicle whose primary inspiration is valued by the *number of goddamn windows.* ---> THE BOTTOM LINE: This is a nostalgia-powered boomer mobile, but I love it, and everyone else does too. The visual trickery to make a traditional minivan look cab-forward totally works. The vibes are superb. People balk at the $71k sticker, but the slickest VW since Phaeton. This is a van for transporting six fat, rich adults who last rode in a VW hung over, on the way home from Woodstock. ---> VW provided the car and insurance for this review!

"What if Cayman, but McLaren?" - technically speaking, the 991.2 Turbo S engine fits in a Cayman. Did you know that?

Today's vid is the 6-month update (yes it has been very nearly that long) on the Taycan! How does a "better" wheel and tire package affect mileage and range? Why have I chosen to stick with white instead of a wrap? And what's gone wrong so far? Get it now.
