Bentley Auction; SL63 AMG Review; Q&A!

We broadcast during the final minutes of the Bentley Turbo R auction! If it hits a certain number it will have been a SMARTER FINANCIAL DECISION than leasing a boring EV for a year! Then we review the new 2025 Mercedes SL63s AMG E-Hybrid, a car with the torque to haul but no space to carry. Matt tells us about his glimpse at the future of Willow Springs Raceway, and we answer Patreon questions about:

Buy a car from a new country.
What would we trade the Bentley for?
Why we keep our tow vehicles boring.
Is a Boxster depreciation-proof?
Different reactions at car shows
How to get more power from a Miata
When to charge your EV to 100% vs 80%
What free car would we turn down because of the maintenance costs?
How do you choose a career?
Best V10 experience under $100k?
Best Bentley feature?
2014 Mustang GT with mods vs 2015 Mustang GT (IRS)
