Congrats on your engagement Zack!!
13:18 I like the discussion of LA Crime with the faint background sound of sirens. 🤣
Baghdad Bob vibes
Yes, we are here largely for the car content, and for you two. But we love learning from your dad, too, Matt! Don't get too mad about it. 🙂
Matt’s Dad probably has some of the coolest stories on this channel.

God bless you sir
"the tree still looms tall and dark" had me in stitches.
For what it's worth, favorite content this year for me has been, in no particular order.
- All Cars Go to Heaven 3, then watching All Cars Go to Heaven 1 on a projector.
- interview with the Turn Signal app founder.
- Interview with Vinn, talking about his new, new forever car.
- Larry Chen episode talking about Baja and helicopters
- Autopian Show w Torch, David, and The financier / Car enthusiast. I want to say Beau, but not sure I'm correct.
- Bronco Raptor review
- Inside baseball about Supercars, anytime
As a civil drafting tech; the Westside Collector Car Storage structure is endlessly fascinating. Just the ramp into the underground parking is nuts. That 99.9% perfect slope, finished to sheet drain, while allowing supercars to park?!
The rebar and code revisions, the L.I.D. and how it impacts owners. Really just the whole dang thing is impressive.
I just wanted to take a moment to state some of the top reasons I appreciate both of your channels, and more often check out your content compared to the other auto channels in my subscription feed is both the breadth (including non-auto) of content and the ethics/integrity that you both bring to the table. You own your mistakes when made occasionally, are quick to correct the record or address possible controversies, and all the while correcting those that misquote you when talking about the FiST/E46 M3.
Keep up the great radio.
The brick thing really does shock people, told my coworkers the other day and they were blown away lol…But the Gordon Murray and Selika Talbott interviews are the best podcasts this year for me lol
If you pay ADM on anything, I am not your friend. Even if you are rich enough to do it, that's not how you stay rich. Just take the day or two of time it takes to call out of state and find an MSRP dealer. Even if you have to pay 1 to 2k in shipping, it gives business to the awesome dealers out there and shows the "mandatory dealer accessories" guys that they can't pull one over on their customers anymore. Just too many people with way more money than patience these days unfortunately.
Recently bought a Veloster N at 1k below sticker in my state. (Oregon) Every other dealer I asked had a 5 to 10k markup on all N models but I called around and used autotrader and happened to find one below MSRP. I thought surely they would at least ask for MSRP when I got to the dealer, but it was in a small town and it must have been sitting for awhile as I was able to drive away an hour later for the 34k plus DMV fees.
Great work this year, thanks for keeping me entertained!.
Look forward to more good stuff/content next year..
Can’t wait to see you drive your boxster spyder 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Crew shows are my favorite
Re: the water temp. Higher water temps reduce NOX in the exhaust.
BMW's have been doing this trick since the late 1990s. The constant cycling of the water temp from 220 down 180 and back again is the main cause of their exploding coolant systems. They heat cycle out all the plastic and it gets brittle.
The Boostane will turn your plugs orange, could poison the converter over time, and I don't think it's legal in CA. It also will make you sick if you get it on your skin. Stuff works, but be careful. I wear gloves when I'm mixing it.
Good point, LA is safe. Its the algorithm that makes a safe city look bad
Honestly, it's no different than most other metropolitan areas in terms of typical safety matters and not even REMOTELY close to the Top 10 most dangerous cities. Not even Chicago made that list.
@@Pas_Quattro really, can we see the list you speak of??
@@JV220 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate
@@JV220 damn fawx news got you good didn't it?
the temp difference is probably at least partially due to it leaning out the fuel mix for better mpg in normal mode, and in sport it richens up the mixture, gives it more fuel basically, which cools everything down. Lean is mean, lean raises temps, the atomization and vaporization of the fuel actually cools down an engine.
Yep, Porsche lowers the temp in Sport and Sport Plus which is very smart. My 991.1 C2S did the same, not sure when they first started.
Congratulations Zack!!
My 2014 BMW M135i does the same thing with the temps. I think the ECU changes its operating modes according to how you drive
I have the new Artura, I agree in every way with Matt the car is exceptional, and the more I drive it the faster it feels.
My favs are with racers/manufacturers/engineers like Betim Berisha and Steve Dinan.
I appreciate you guys continuing to hammer home the point of do not pay ADM!
I mean, we do love Roger. Sorry Matt 🤣
Congratulations Mr. Klapman.
Matt: what brand do you use for the journal? Moleskine or other??
great intro clip, that made me laugh hahaha
The Artura seems to be a winner.
1:07:43 My Cayman GTS 4.0 also stays around ~210-215 when fully warmed up when cruising around - initially it freaked me out when temps didn't maintain (fan turning on / thermostat opening, etc) around ~190 and kept climbing, but apparently it's just how Porsche programmed it for reasons you described. when i dig into sport / sport+ and heavier throttle, the temps stay 200~220 and never move around more than that.
Matt: You should look into adding MCS coil-overs to your Spyder to complete it. I added MCS 2-ways on my GT4 and it makes a BIG difference when the roads starts to turn to crap. I am in the Bay Area and our roads I think are even worse that LA area. You have lots of sharp impact road imperfections there in LA area, but we have larger bumps and dips and my stock GT4 got very unsettled at speed when trying to deal with them, especially on the rebound stroke.
The stock GT4/Spyder is amazing when the roads are smooth, but leaves A LOT to be desired when the roads really turn to crap.
In EVO Car of The Year, the Artura weighed in at 1560kg as tested, the 296 as 1660kg and the MC20 weighed in at 1700kg!!! Bare in mind, the manufacturer claimed weight of the MC20 is 1475kg and the Ferrari 1470, the Artura only weighed 62kg more than quoted by McLaren.
Mclaren made alot more effort with their hybrid integration imho
@@mcspikesky a friend of mine worked on the hybrid system and didn’t think much of it actually, but who knows.
Most hybrids and all EVs charge the low-voltage battery from the high-voltage system when they are on. However, not all of them are designed with the ability in their internal computer to turn the HV battery on when the car is off and not charging. Given that modern cars all have fairly high drain, McLaren made a sensible design choice, and in the future all cars will do the same thing, at least until the HV battery reaches a certain minimum level.
1:45:10 Major shoutouts to Kevin Williams! He has worked his ass off and written excellent articles about all sorts of car related subjects. Highly recommend him!
I'm finding the six cylinder era of supercars we have happening right now much more desirable than the V8 turbo era that's been happening for a few years.
Agreed! Turbo ~4ish liter V8 everything has been really boring to me.
Timestamp for porche road trip? Thanks
That's dope
Buick GS for at least two of the questions. 5th gen for the guy in Canada and the 6th gen for the Bostonian.
Spyder has dual zone automatic climate control if you checked the $700 option. Kind of funny that Matt didn’t know about this. It’s definitely a must have option
I trained with Porsche around the time when the 991.2 came out and the cooling systems were designed with 8 different operating modes. I’m sure there are more on the newer systems since then. I do remember getting complaints of different coolant temps and it was never a problem, it was usually a certain kind of customer. I couldn’t get mad at someone actually wanting more knowledge on something rather than just complaining though
I swear my 981 does this too. Oil temps regularly range from 220 to 195 for no apparent reason.
Interesting thought on the SL. I would hazard a guess that the average age of an SL buyer is 50+. I don't think that having everything hidden in a tablet and all those options is going to help sales.
low end hum kicks in at 55:30
Hey Matt, I offered a suggestion on what worked for "me" to lose weight. The podcast after your birthday week of eating, it sounded like you were upset because of the choices you were making. Not your successfulness based off of the choices you were making. WW helps you understand that if you eat that donut, this is what you should eat the rest of the day if you want to achieve your goals. My goal was to be healthy and reach a healthy BMI. Me losing 80 pounds over the past year is just the result of consistently making the right choice.
YESYESYESYES!!!!!!!!!!
FWIW, I think the over heating warning on the iPhones is mainly because of the lithium ion battery inside the phone. If it gets too hot, kaboom. The car screen shouldn’t need to give that warning as all the components behind it should be fine for those higher temps.
Matt now has to premix his fuel, he essentially owns a rotary.
There is a definition for happiness I recently heard that I think can also apply to success. Sorry, I don't remember who said it and I'm paraphrasing. Happiness = reality - expectation. This is why you always feel like crap when you compare yourself to others who appear to be more successful or happy. Think IG, Facebook, or other social media platforms. Ppl tend to be less happy when they consume from these places.
people are willing to pay so much over sticker because Toyota (insert every other brand here too) doesn't make enough of them and then complain that fun cars don't sell well. The local high volume Subaru dealer gets 6 BRZ's a year. That's not an exaggeration, literally 6.
the CRZ sounds light at 2800 lbs, but compared to the CRX its 1000 lbs heavier.
Gonna need those time stamps
So, we want the 296 exterior with the artura interior
Say you didnt want to go viral with this clip, but look at it a different way. This probably is happening some where. Maybe its a good thing to let people know to keep their eyes open around them when driving on an interchange.
"All publicity is good publicity"
Matt blaiming the algorithm for his sensational clip is awesome
Strawberry shortcake gets about the same gas mileage as my s2000!! Wow
1:16:00 not having auto Climate zone is not a raw experience lol, my 2008 m3 has that and dual zone
Mclaren has integrated the axial flux motor much better than ferrari imho, way lighter
I understand, but LA for sure has a problem. To pretend not is just....
No one is denying the safety issues, but it's overrated in terms of having issues as if they're EXCLUSIVE to LA, and not with any other major metropolitan areas, as Zack mentioned in this episode especially as narrated by right leaning narratives. LA isn't even remotely close to the list of Top Ten Most Dangerous Cities to Live
They aren’t pretending it doesn’t
17:02 There are plenty of LA-exclusive scams. Erewhon Market for one.
Oooh a bit of a shocker there, $12,500 for that Route to Vine experience, I wish I was in a different tax bracket 😞
G8 guy can get an S4 no problem.
interesting how both the 296 and artura apparently have the same electric motor, yet ferrari claims 165 hp for theirs vs 94 for the mclaren
Ferrari embellishments
How many times do we have to hear Matt bragging/rambling on about his boxster???
Don't agree with the suggestion that an Alfa Romeo Giulia/Stelvio can't be a daily driver.
Matt's wife is a Twitter fed that compulsively takes notes on everyone she meets! Lol
Fire? 🤔
I don't understand the pushback against LA being a shit hole because of crime. The police informed a civilian that they're seeing a pattern. So it's a real thing. Why is that not a valid reason to reinforce opinions about LA?
Yep. Also “this happens in other cities too!” is a little weird. The podcast is based out of LA so to be fair we have to mention every other city with a crime problem too?
Some of you guys asking whether you should buy a Corolla ADM or a BMW need to get your head checked. Lmao
The guy with the G8 needs to give his head a shake. He knows he ain’t getting even a 1988 Chevy Silverado 3500!!! Canadian, used market is insane.
Hahahahaha. That data guy is on the money. If you guys shit on a car I don't watch the video. If you love it I do.
so I recently crashed my golfR :(, just bought a cx-30 turbo for $30k. perfect car for Boston.
$35K family car that can scratch the occasional sporty itch - spend $25K and get a nice example of a used Honda Accord Sport with 3 pedals and a stick.
Vinfast spends money to hire KOL KOC to preview its car, it's completely normal, it's a fair trade, the famous American car journalist because of his reputation and professional conscience (only reviews good things and accepted by consumers), just refuse, whatever you do on the postcard is rude. I just see him demeaning himself.
Bit of a Mclaren fan here..
V6 engine: no thanks, V6's are some of the most unbalanced engines both in terms of primary secondary and tertiary vibration, I6 and V12 are perfect but a V8 or I4 isn't terrible, but V6 is the worst.
The mclaren F1 did 241mph with a 6speed so why does this need 33% more gears to do less?).
From what I know in the industry the reasons for more gears tends to be based around EPA testing on emissions because for any speed you're more likely to be in the peak efficiency part of the rpm band...cool so your car is more expensive and heavier to meet rolling road emissions because the engine has good *peak* hp and torque numbers but only in a really tiny little area. So peak efficiency at 3000rpm (nerfed fueling map), peak torque at 6000rpm and peak horsepower at 8000rpm but relying on the electric motor to pick up the slack everywhere else to prevent it feeling like its powered by a dremel, Atleast its light.
V6 is a fine engine. I bet you've never even driven one.
@@LilleyAdam Camry, FTO and Shogun.
Bet you're not an engineer and didn't understand anything I said.
@@tomstech4390 maybe I'm not. Maybe I am. I'm enough of an engineer to know you're speaking pure shit.
And the Toyota V6 is one of the best engines around, has outlived and embarrassed plenty of zero primary imbalance engines.
And now to show how little self proclaimed engineers in the TH-cam comments know, the inline 3 has perfect primary and secondary balance. By comparison, the inline 4 has perfect primary balance but not secondary. So please explain Oh all-knowing-engineer-in-the-comments, how combining two zero imbalance engines produces terrible primary, secondary and tertiary vibrations.
Now run off and rewatch John cadogans video on why v6s are the worst and take good notes
Get a WRX for $35,000
Ok let me start off I love your shows.... BUT.....can you keep the politics off your shows. We know your liberal you don't have to continue to speak against conservatives.....Again please keep your shows off of politics. We come for cars NOT politics. Thx.
You can choose not to watch
You think this mf gives a shit?
It's his show, not yours.
