I love the new AMG GT, but the Aston vantage is the same money with 50 more HP and it’s 1000 lbs lighter
577 vs 656

57:53 - wanted: V8, manual, 4 door,
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
For the guy wanting a manual 4 door V8 under 20k, just get an E55 and deal with the auto
That’s what I said. Shockingly durable cars
I kinda went through this recently - fun modern manual sedan. The list is pretty short and the list of V8-powered ones is even shorter. Ended up with a cherry B8.5 S4. Not a V8 but sounds good and is a great drive. Maintenance and repair costs TBD but likely less than equivalent Break My Wallet.
Cayenne for the win (but probably not under USD 20K....).
How much are older ctsv’s?
Hilarious that they also charge a gas guzzler tax. How convenient
PRS was fancy when I bought my first guitar in the mid 90s
I absolutely LOVE the AMG GT especially the 2016 models. Well, considering you can get them for 60k. Although the same price the continental GT is also very tempting.
A conti GT would scare me at that price but that’s a lot of car
Playing a musical instrument is a perfect way to detach from the stressors of "regular life" and relax. I always feel better afterward no matter what has been going on.
Matt was thinking of Harry Dean Stanton. I think he also confused Chuck Yeager with Chuck Norris.
That’d be hilarious if Matt indeed was confusing Chuck Norris and Chuck Yeager! I think probably not though - Yeager was by many accounts an intolerant and abrasive character, not concerned by upsetting people or hesitant to swing verbal-punches.
You have to watch Jackie Stewart driving and promoting the Merkur XR4Ti. He loved it, which makes sense since it's a Ford Sierra.
Q&A guy has the right idea with V8/4D/Manual/sub20K, but price wont get'em what he wants. Smoking tire team: what about Porsche, both Cayanne and Panamera but again that price ceiling....
The pace car bit was hilarious
"I don't know what I would do with a $125,000 manual daily driver" on CT5V - why is this the first time you guys express the idea that the car is pointless? I'm tired of reviewers raving about how great a car is then quietly going "no thanks".
I wish gas was only 5 usd a gallon where I live. Here it's more like 8.60 usd. ☹️
I would own a Giulia QV right now if it came in manual. But it doesnt. Alfa has lost a new buyer forever due to that decision. I will continue to enjoy my "old" 2006 Bertone GT 3.2 V6 that I imported from Japan for as long as I can, then will import another. Alfas should always be manual unless they are a SUV. No exceptions.
100%
Those amps have digital processors that enable all the different sounds. And my lord, the Internet would have saved me so much time and money that I spent searching endlessly for guitar music books. 😂
Every time I go left I have to go left again. 😆
Mat, you have inspired me to pick up my guitar after a few years off it as well. 30 mins a day is a great place to start
I own the Giulia Quad in Montreal green. this is my second QV and I think it's one of th best drivers cars ever made. It is one of the most complete car I have driven or owned.
Harry found an opportunity to purchase a beautiful full MSO equipped 650S with around 10K miles to replace his lovely Emira. I believe Harry indicated he had already experienced everything he wanted to with his Emira and at his age I’m sure he was excited to scratch his McLaren ownership itch. Based on his related video, he seems to have purchased a very special version of the 650S.
I HAD WINDSHILD SPRAYER THAT ARE ON THE WIPER ARM!! I have them on my Jag XJ but living in the UK, in the winter they just don't defrost because the wiper never gets warm, meaning that throughout winter when you need them the most I have no screen wash.
I haven't watched this podcast for ages and noticed Matt is looking heaps fitter. Good on him
Matt, look at Matons...if it's good enough for Tommy Emmanuel, it's good enough for anyone...
Only two lines about the Giulia!?!?! If you are not going to talk about it, don't add it to the video title please 😢
Huh...yeah I was wondering. I feel like it's been a few years since I've heard anyone talk about the Giulia...I guess I'll have to wait a few more still.
There's probably a video coming on it that they don't want to spoil the deets of
@@ragweedmakesmesneezeThrottle House just did a great job with the “new Giulia Quadrifoglio vs the cheapest Giulia you can buy”.
@@heymigo Oooh, thanks for the reminder...I'll have to check it out!
womp womp
Im in the same boat as Jake looking to upgrade from a WRX but with a slightly higher budget and only 2 kids.
M3 is the answer, e90 with a manual. Or an f80 m3 if you take a 6cyl
Harry Metcalfe traded his Lotus plus 50K pounds for the McLaren. It wasn't a 1:1 swap.
What’s the watch tho
I feel for Matt being a lefty as a guitarist...P90s rock, and go for a Vox nightrain... it's the size of a toaster.
Hey, Matt A option for a V8 4 door is a Lexus GS 460 with a 4.6-liter V8 engine from 2009 to 2010? The only caveat will be its a Auto but there is tuning potential with the trans, suspension and engine and it will be a reliable daily.
I used to have a pre factory PRS CU24 that was the best guitar I ever owned. Glad to see you playing again, Matt!
Best rig with a manual= Escalade V. You know it. I know it. Someone will do it.
10:00 sounds like youre talking about a boss katana, great entry piece of kit. Depreciation on guitar stuff is pretty good. If you want some other types of song learning, i use Songsterr and Rocksmith, both of which have phone apps
Looking good Matt. Don't know if it was the outfit or whatnot, but you look like you've lost a bit of weight mate.
The interesting things about the Indy 500 pace car is it was/is a track sponsorship deal, hence often no relation to anything actually driving on the track.
Longines is a watch you should look at for quality at a good price
The newest gen GT is also 1000lbs heavier than the previous gen. So there is also that.
Chip the cayenne gts and you got the best all round vehicle money can buy
20k gets you a really nice e39 540i
Fun episode! . . . Especially the pace cars bit! 😄
Get a fender mustang micro $100.
Your Podcast is very informative, But you really need to think about Not cussing on the air .
*** You will get more viewers if you did not cuss.
Great show once again gents.
The Lexus GS400 would roll down all of the windows and open the moonroof with just the key fob in the 90s.
My 2014 Mercedes died the same roll down windows, open the roof and turn in cooled seats so not a new thing for Mercedes they've had it for at least 10 years.
The mk3 golf did that in the 90s as well.
Sweet first
What is shooting dice? 👀
"Shooting" is actually "rolling" or playing games with dice.
I'm sorry, love the pod, but these RANDOM themes or lists on the shows now aint it. Our top 3 indy pace cars and their drivers? TF
Na, the list are still a nice addition.
@@Heyitsallgoodman Next time I'm hoping they cover their top 3 favorite times they got ice cream in a car, and what car they were driving!!!!!
It's SCO bullshit at this point and they don't care if we care
Rumor is the new GT is just a C63S drivetrain cut and paste. They’re giving up on trying to beat Porsche and the 911
BOOO! Stupid criticism. They're literally doing a topic that a viewer brought up and if that isn't podcasting then idk what is. There are many shows that never listen to their audience and this is not one so you should stop critiquing and start enjoying.
You should get Marty Schwartz on as a guest and do a cars and guitars episode
Honda did make one 2016 NSX with a stick shift mechanism from a 2006 Ford GT to accommodate the mid engine layout.
It was recognized internally as the best shifter for Honda to use. Odd how it came full circle.
Interesting, where’d you read that?
I know this isn't your fault but can you all email TH-cam and find out why every single time I try to click this I get taken to some stupid support page about sponsor ads in videos.
You’re clicking on the sponsored hyperlink not the actual video thumbnail
@@jo1948 im pretty sure im.clicking right in the middle of the thumbnail. It's a minor annoyance I just hut back and click again
22:24 to skip past all the non car talk. Stay in your lane boys.
????? What 😂😂😂
22:24 AMG GT63
I like this podcast because it isn't strictly always car talk, telling someone to stay in their lane on their own show is wild.
