The BMW M2 CS takes center stage as Jonny breaks down this beast's wild acceleration, carbon fiber components, and how it compares to competitors like the Cayman and Corvette at its $100k price point. The hosts don't hold back when discussing the controversy surrounding Waymo's revelation that their autonomous vehicle operators are based in the Philippines, raising serious safety and security concerns.

The crew also debates the impact of Chinese cars entering the Canadian market, seeing both consumer benefits and industry concerns. Shannon Harper joins to discuss Porsche PORSCHE PLÁTICA, the unique Tennessee Porsche event that perfectly blends car culture with a marble quarry setting, before showcasing a spectacular custom Porsche 911 R.

It's a packed garage this week, as Spike and the crew review the breathtaking Ferrari 12Cilindri and CTR Ferrari 458, while debating the point of a silent Lamborghini Urus SE. They also celebrate Toyota's MR2 revival and rip into Waymo's self-driving claims after recent ridiculous accidents and celebrate the inventor of the gas gauge arrow.

The crew dives deep into the Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider's effortless speed and dual personality as both luxury cruiser and performance beast. Peter Nam's CTR Ferrari 458 project showcases the best of aftermarket engineering with its quality modifications and performance upgrades. The Lamborghini Urus SE's plugin hybrid status raises eyebrows; does a silent Lambo miss the point? The Toyota MR2 revival is unveiled, and the guys cautiously celebrate the budget sportscar.

In tech news, Waymo self-driving cars make headlines for all the wrong reasons as the hosts humorously dissect recent incidents. The episode takes unexpected turns with a bizarre Florida man vacuum story and appreciation for William Shatner enjoying cereal in his car during his "f**k it years." The show closes with a touching tribute to James Moylan, the unsung Ford designer who invented the arrow indicating your fuel tank's side.

This week's episode brings together car market analysis and motorcycle racing excitement. The hosts debate whether recent Mecum auction results showing sky-high prices for 90s/2000s supercars represent genuine market shifts or potential manipulation schemes.

The highlight comes when Jason Chinnock joins to discuss Ducati's 100th anniversary and their strategic entry into Supercross racing. Jason's remarkable journey from parts counter to CEO exemplifies the passion driving the iconic motorcycle brand. The conversation culminates with a detailed look at the stunning Ducati Desmo450 MX, featuring titanium exhaust, Showa front forks, and limited production with numbered engine cases.

Jerry's 907 showcases an incredible 10-year restoration journey, returning this ultra-rare race car (only a handful exist worldwide) to its original glory, complete with period-correct details like the illuminated number panel and ice box for the driver's cool suit. The car has significant racing heritage, having won the 1968 Daytona 24-hour race with Vic Elford at the wheel.

The episode also features Jerry's stunning Minerva Blue 1979 Porsche 928, featuring the unique blue Pasha interior and the iconic 4.5-liter V8 engine. Jerry's enthusiasm for the car's revolutionary design is contagious as he describes driving it as "being like a police dog attacking a foam-protected arm."

The hosts also dive into YouTube inspiration from a Volvo rescue, debate their favorite Japanese cars (with Jerry expressing surprising interest in the new Honda Accord), and share personal stories about first cars and daily carry items.
